Chapter 99: Attacking Xixia(1/2)

In addition to Han Zhang stepping down, the letter also mentioned that the old people in the DPRK and the past have retired one after another.

Because Zhao Zongquan's reign was too short, the court was filled with veterans from three dynasties.

Speaking of qualifications, each one is more advanced than the other.

Not to mention the needs of the emperor and his courtiers after the new emperor came to power.

These people were accustomed to the system and environment of Renzong and Miaozong dynasties.

They are very rigid in their thinking and clinging to limitations, which can be said to be obstacles to reform.

After removing the old people in the court, the court's operation became smoother.

The reform of the official system in the Great Zhou Dynasty is progressing well, and it seems to be somewhat gratifying, as many redundant departments have been eliminated.

The three divisions are under the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works, the Trial Court is under the Ministry of Personnel, and the Trial Court is under the Ministry of Punishment.

The Six Ministries, whose powers were originally usurped by other departments, have taken back a large part of their rights.

Although Sheng Hong was not promoted and transferred, he was still the right minister of the Ministry of Works, but he still returned the power of the Ministry of Works to the Ministry of Works along with the Third Division.

Sheng Hong has a lot more real power in his hands than before, and Sheng Hong's status has also improved a lot compared to before.

Even everyone thinks that the Ministry of Industry is at the bottom of the six ministries.

The status of officials in the Ministry of Industry is also lower than that in other ministries.

But the Ministry of Industry is also one of the six ministries after all, and the ministers are all high-ranking officials.

For Sheng Hong, life was quite satisfactory during this period.

Now this position and status can be said to have exceeded Sheng Hong's expectations for himself.

Then there is the matter of the younger generation of the family. Hua Lan does not make troubles, does not take the initiative to make trouble, manages the household, educates his children, and lives a pretty stable life.

Mentioning Hualan makes people feel at ease.

Mo Lan's situation was not mentioned much in the letter, so Sheng Changbai didn't know much about it.

I just know that after Wen Yanjing was transferred, the couple still lived in separate places, and Mo Lan still lives in Bianliang.

Ru Lan has already left Bianliang and gone to Luoyang to join Li Yu. She hasn't heard of any problems yet, so they should get along well. After all, Li Yu is a smart person.

It shouldn't be difficult to deal with the careless Ru Lan.

Then there is Minglan. After He Hongwen joined the Medical Officer's Hospital, he could not take care of the family business too much.

The business of the He family has been postponed, so it is the eldest lady Minglan who should take care of it.

Minglan has already begun to take over some of the He family's pharmaceutical business.

For Ming Lan, who had gone through the experience of the old lady, it was not a difficult task, and after a period of time, it became easy for her.

Then there are the two men in the family. Sheng Xiaoqi is still in the learning stage and has already studied the Four Books.

At this stage, the aptitude for learning can already be seen. Xiaoqi's aptitude is good and has been clearly revealed.

In terms of reading, his qualifications are comparable to Sheng Changfeng's, and he works harder than Sheng Changfeng, so he has a promising future.

She has the same personality as Aunt Wei, she doesn't fight or fight, and she can easily become invisible in the back house of the Sheng family.

Under the current situation where Sheng Hong's back house is relatively peaceful, Sheng Xiaoqi's life can actually be considered stable.

"Sheng Laosan is really lucky."

The trajectory of Sheng Laosan has changed, and he can no longer live the life of an official in the government.

Suddenly, Sheng Changfeng was blessed with a wonderful marriage.

The goal Sheng Hong set for Chang Feng was to wait until Chang Feng became a Jinshi or became older before helping Chang Feng consider marriage.

But this time, Sheng Changfeng still failed to pass the imperial examination.

Full of confidence, hesitant and full of ambition, he left in good spirits, and then lost his reputation, suffered a deep blow, and returned defeated.

If we do the math, Sheng Changfeng has participated in the imperial examination three times and failed three times.

Although he still has not achieved fame, Sheng Hong still has great confidence in Sheng Changfeng.

After all, there are many people who can pass the imperial examination only after taking it five, six, seven or eight times and twenty years.

Sheng Changfeng caught up with the good times, and two emperors of the old Zhao family died one after another.

Encountered two new emperors ascending the throne, held two Enko,

Even after taking part in the imperial examination three times, he was still just over twenty years old.

There are still plenty of opportunities to leap over the dragon gate.

It was not the time to think about marriage, but a daughter from a wealthy family came from heaven and wanted to marry Sheng Changfeng.

Even if Sheng Laosan can really pass the Jinshi examination, he may not be able to marry such a legitimate daughter of a wealthy family.

Now that he has the opportunity, Sheng Hong will certainly not wait for Sheng Laosan to become a Jinshi and then get engaged to Sheng Laosan.

"It is because both the master and the young master are in high regard now that the Liu family is willing to marry the eldest daughter to our Sheng family." Liu Tao said cleverly.

"This is also Saburo's luck. He caught up with her just in time. Otherwise, where else would he marry such a gentle, virtuous and virtuous daughter-in-law from a wealthy family?"

Sheng Laosan's Yue family is no stranger to the Sheng family.

Sheng Laosan's future father-in-law was Sheng Hong's best friend in the same year. He was considered a close friend. He was almost one of the same year old friends with whom Sheng Hong had the best relationship.

The two people have such a good relationship. The reason why the two families had not considered marriage before was because of the gap between their family backgrounds.

The Liu family is a scholarly family that has been around for generations. Even if it is not as good as the Hai family, with disciples and former officials all over the northern scholarly forest, it is not far behind.

The Liu family's family status is still much higher than that of the Sheng family.

The Sheng family may be equal to the Liu family, that is, Sheng Changbai after winning the lottery.

But the eldest lady of the Liu family had already made an engagement, so no one would think about it.

Judging from Sheng Changfeng's current conditions in all aspects, she is certainly not worthy of the legitimate daughter of the Liu family.

However, the marriage of the eldest daughter of the Liu family was not going well. Before the marriage was arranged, her fiancé fell ill and died.

For the superstitious feudal Zhou Dynasty, it was quite taboo for the fiancé to die before she got married.

First of all, the reputation issue will affect the eldest daughter of the Liu family in seeking marriage.

In addition, if the eldest daughter of the Liu family had not died of her fiancé, she would have gotten married long ago.

She is also a bit older than the average woman, almost twenty.

At this age, we can no longer afford to delay and we need to seize the time.

The conditions will naturally be relaxed a lot.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the Sheng family, where both father and son were given high priority, came into the Liu family's sight.

Although Sheng Changbai has always felt that Sheng Changfeng has no formal status, does not do his job properly, does not study the classics and meanings carefully, and likes flashy poems and poems.

But Sheng Laosan’s approach is actually quite popular in Dazhou.

There are many people who just follow the poetry and prose style and write beautiful poetry and verse, which means they are outstanding in talent and learning.

Together with Sheng Hong, Sheng Changbai gave Sheng Changfeng the blessing of his family background.

The Liu family expressed their interest in Sheng Laosan to Sheng Hong through an intermediary.

The second son he prefers has the chance to marry the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family.

Sheng Hong was overjoyed and acted swiftly and decisively, deciding on Sheng Changfeng's marriage in a matter of seconds.

The final wedding reception has arrived.

Considering that Zhao Zongquan had only been away for a year, the new emperor only started to propose marriages for the royal family's children starting in August, which meant that officials and families could discuss marriages.

Sheng Hong arranged the wedding for Sheng Laosan, and it could be said that it was done very quickly.

"Sigh... This man is so blessed that he doesn't know how to be happy, so he dares to be dissatisfied. On his condition, being able to marry a daughter of the Liu family is already burning incense. What right does he have to be dissatisfied? If he doesn't want to marry the legitimate daughter of a rich family, he wants to I can't marry him, who is an oiran from a brothel." Sheng Changbai was still going to write a letter to reprimand Sheng Laosan.

Although Sheng Laosan was sure, he did not dare to resist Sheng Hong, shied away from the marriage with the Liu family, and pursued his own love.

But this younger brother will still feel uncomfortable if Sheng Changbai doesn't teach him a lesson.

While everyone was optimistic about Sheng Changfeng's marriage, Sheng Changfeng himself was dissatisfied with Miss Liu's family and was in need of training.

Sheng Changfeng, like Sheng Hong, is a pervert, a senior member of the Appearance Association, and still likes to look skinny.

The eldest daughter of the Liu family, except for her troubled marriage, can be said to be outstanding in everything, but her appearance is a little more ordinary.

Then he made Sheng Changfeng unhappy, and he was worthy of being the son who looked most like Sheng Hong.

In addition to being the most similar to Sheng Hong in appearance, Sheng Laosan also inherited all of Sheng Hong's flaws and carried them forward.

When meeting a woman, Sheng Laosan was even more confused than Sheng Hong.

Being obsessed with sex is also an ancestral skill in the Sheng family.

From Sheng Lao Tanhua to Sheng Changfeng, three generations have never been able to pass the test of being a woman.

"Sir, family affairs are handled by the Lord. The Lord will not let Brother Feng make mistakes."
