Chapter 46 Layout (II)

"Just thinking about being able to stroll hand in hand with you in the bustling city, looking at the lights of thousands of homes, appreciating the prosperity of Tokyo, and enjoying the rare leisure and comfort, I feel that Tokyo must be our blessed land, and I also have infinite yearning for it!"

After hearing these warm words, Mingxi hugged Sheng Hong's neck affectionately and rubbed it, feeling very attached. "My lord, even the people living in Xiangshan sighed that 'it's not easy to live in the capital', which shows that living in the capital requires a lot of money. Where to live? Is the house big enough? My lord has just arrived in Tokyo, and he needs to make friends with new colleagues and superiors. If your family does not have a stable and profitable business, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Tokyo. My lord, why don't you sell the bookshop you gave me? It will also be an income, and I will have more money when I arrive in Tokyo."

After listening to Mingxi's soft voice, Sheng Hong's eyes were filled with smiles. This woman always considers himself. Sheng Hong loves the way she worries about him, and he can't help but want to hold her in his arms and hold her tenderly.

Mingxi pushed him away with her hands on his chest, and said coquettishly, "It's daytime, and the parrots are waiting outside~" Sheng Hong just liked her adorable look, and he didn't really want to do anything wrong, so he let go as she wished.

"Don't worry about these, Yi'er. There are many shops and farms with good returns in the family. The money earned is enough for us to spend in Tokyo. You don't have to worry about the house. When my father was the third place in the imperial examination, my grandfather bought a large house with four or five entrances in Tokyo, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. At that time, my grandfather bought the house in the current location by taking advantage of my father's reputation as the third place in the imperial examination. On one side, it is close to Linqingfang where scholars gather, and on the other side, it is close to the residential area of ​​the rich and powerful. Later, when my father decided to marry the old lady, my grandfather hurriedly We bought a garden at the back of the mansion, and connected the front and back together, saying that we couldn't let down the old lady who was born as the legitimate daughter of a marquis. Therefore, our mansion is enough for us to live in, Yi'er, just put your mind at ease!"

Mingxi certainly knew that when Sheng Hong first returned to Beijing to take up his post, his official position was not high, but the Sheng family's mansion was unique. Most of the officials at the same level as Sheng Hong had ordinary families. His colleagues who entered the officialdom through imperial examinations could not afford such a large mansion. Sheng Hong became one of the few people among the minor officials who lived in a big house. But these are just introductions, the key points are to come.

"Then we are inheriting the legacy of our ancestors! My Lord, since the house in Tokyo is big enough, then can the eldest, fourth, fifth and future girls all have their own yards?" "

Of course, the girls will have their own yards when they grow up. When Zhenzhen grows up, she will move out from the old lady and live in her own yard."

"My lord, now that I have said that, I feel that we still don't have enough manpower. If Ming'er sets up a separate courtyard and lives separately, Xiaotao alone won't be enough. Even if we give Ming'er Meng when she grows up and can stand on her own, it still won't be enough. It seems that we still need to train more manpower for Ming'er, so that even after she gets married, she will have someone to use and won't suffer losses easily. Zhenzhen, I don't need to worry too much. The old lady treats him well and will definitely make plans for him."

Mingxi spoke slowly. Sheng Hong liked listening to Mingxi's slow words, which made him feel that life was peaceful and happy. "You are thinking so far ahead. Ming'er is only six years old. It's too early to think about getting married. But it's a good idea to train some manpower for the daughters. Hualan is getting married soon. Marrying into the Yuan family is a marriage of a wealthy family. It is inevitable that she will suffer some humiliation. Finding some powerful female servants can also help Hualan."

Mingxi thought of the suffering Hualan suffered in the early days of her marriage to the Yuan family in the TV series. She suddenly felt that she had hit the jackpot today. If she could really find a few powerful people to follow Hualan, Hualan would suffer less torture, and she would have done a good deed.

"My lord is right. My eldest daughter is about to get married into a wealthy family. I don't know if her mother-in-law is someone she can get along with. We should find her some smart, flexible, and powerful people who are not easily controlled by others. It would be best to find her a maid who knows some medical skills. After she gets married, she can help the Yuan family expand and have more children, and her position will be more stable."

Sheng Hong was very moved after hearing this. "I'm glad you can still consider these things for Hualan. The Madam is not as thoughtful as you."

Mingxi glanced at him disapprovingly, "My Lord, you shouldn't say that about the Madam. What mother wouldn't consider her daughter? It's just that the Madam hopes that the young lady will get married and live in harmony with her husband and parents-in-law. How could she think of a bad situation? My Lord, since you have thought of it, you can do it for the young lady tomorrow or whenever you are free. It also shows your love for her." Sheng Hong nodded in agreement.

Mingxi saw that Sheng Hong had no intention of discussing this topic further, so she had to find another topic to talk about. "Ming'er said that the fourth lady has been in a bad mood recently. Madam Zhou was the elder who had been with the fourth lady since she was born. Her death was a big blow to the fourth lady. If Aunt Lin... Lin passes away again, will the fourth lady be able to bear it?" After

Mingxi finished speaking, Sheng Hong was extremely surprised. "You... Don't blame her?" The two had never talked openly about Lin Qinshuang harming Wei Shuyi. Sheng Hong couldn't bear to punish Lin Qinshuang severely, so he felt a little guilty towards Wei Shuyi and deliberately avoided the topic. Mingxi felt that her position in Sheng Hong's heart was temporarily inferior to Lin Qinshuang, and because of her arrival, Wei Shuyi was living well. There was no point in arguing with Sheng Hong, so she didn't talk about it.

But since Sheng Hong asked, Mingxi could give a good answer, "Of course I blame you! I'm not a saint, I suffered misfortune for no reason, of course I hate the person who hurt me. But the world is complicated, how can it be explained in a few words? She is the biological mother of the fourth lady, the fourth lady is the biological daughter of the master, and Ming'er's biological sister. Ming'er has been unhappy these days because of the sadness of the fourth lady. The fourth lady was originally a lovely little girl, but she was used by someone to do wrong things. Since that person is gone, the fourth lady will have to be taught well by the master in the future, and the sisters will teach her together. I'm afraid that if Aunt Lin goes "If she really repents, there's nothing I can't do for the sake of the fourth lady, the master and Ming'er. Anyway, I know that the master has me in his heart and will make the decision for me!" Sheng Hong's

heart was filled with ripples. Wei Shuyi's words touched his heart. He knew that Mother Zhou was very important to Molan and Lin Qinshuang, but it was precisely because of this that Sheng Hong would take drastic measures. This person could influence her woman and daughter, but he had evil intentions and dared to drug him. What if this time it was not Sanyi Dan, but a deadly poison? What if she was not just plotting against him, but was trying to frame him? Not only will this person succeed, but he will also use the people closest to him to achieve success! This incident made Sheng Hong feel scared for a while, so he resolutely dealt with Zhou Xueniang with thundering means.

Thinking of this, Sheng Hong felt that the punishment was still too light, and it should be more severe. They even dared to hire a doctor for that bitch, and Chang Feng fainted in order to save her. Sheng Hong became more and more angry.
