Chapter 17 What? The Sheng Family Actually Has Dealings with General Wei?

Wei Shuyi asked Minglan to go outside and have a look because someone had come to propose to her elder sister. As a younger sister, it would be unreasonable for her not to go and have a look.

After all, Minglan's surname was Sheng, and she had to have a good relationship with her brothers and sisters at home.

Wei Shuyi felt that Wei Yuan was making a fuss by asking a border soldier to protect Minglan, and said:

"Minglan is in her own home, how could there be any danger."

Wei Yuan said: "The people in the Sheng family treat you like this, how can they value Minglan? I only have this one niece, and I can't treat her like a baby?"

Wei Shuyi felt a little headache, "I'm afraid you will spoil her."

Wei Yuan knew that since their Wei family suffered a major change and their parents died, Wei Shuyi's personality had quietly changed.

Because without the support of her mother's family, Wei Shuyi could not live according to her heart in this Sheng mansion, and could only be cautious.

He even often advised Minglan not to show off, so as not to be jealous.

To put it bluntly, Wei Shuyi only thought that it was enough to live well for the rest of his life, and it didn't matter if he suffered a little grievance.

Wei Yuan knew this, so he came to support Wei Shuyi.

He wanted to let his eldest sister know that in the future, they could live according to their wishes in the Sheng family.

Otherwise, why did he fight hard and bravely at the border?

Is it just to make a name for himself?

But if you make a name for yourself, you still have to be careful with your relatives around you, so what's the point?

"Spoil her, my niece Wei Yuan, just wants to live according to her own wishes, not only that, but also live better than others."

Hearing Wei Yuan say this, Wei Shuyi didn't know what to do, so he just let him go, but thought in his heart that Wei Yuan could spoil Minglan, but Minglan couldn't become lawless just because she had an uncle who spoiled her.

Find an opportunity to talk to Minglan.

——

When Minglan walked to the main hall, she saw many people standing in several rows, clapping and cheering from time to time,

"Good! The young master brought by Young Master Yuan is a good pitcher!"

"Yes, this young master of the Sheng family is about to lose!"

"If he loses the master of ceremonies, then the Sheng family will lose face!"

"."

Minglan watched the excitement and ran over.

Li Chuan followed quickly without saying a word.

If there were pedestrians around who were about to bump into Minglan, he would protect her in time.

In the army, military orders are as important as mountains.

Wei Yuan asked him to protect Minglan, so even if he lost his life, he would keep Minglan unharmed.

Minglan came to the crowd and listened for a while before he understood the whole story.

It turned out that his third brother Sheng Changfeng was angry for a while and played pitching pot with Gu Tingye, who used the alias Bai Ye, with the Yuan family's betrothal gift as a bet.

It looked like the host was about to lose the live bird from the frontier.

This Sheng Changfeng was the son of Sheng Hong's favorite concubine Lin Qinshuang. According to age, he was the third child in the Sheng family.

Just as Minglan was paying attention to this scene, many people also noticed her, because there was a soldier behind her.

"Why are there still soldiers in the Sheng family?"

"Yes, what's going on?"

"."

Outsiders didn't know the situation.

Hearing the discussion, Gu Tingye also looked curiously, frowned slightly, and said in shock:

"Imperial Army armor? Looking at the saber, it seems to be from the frontier army. The Sheng family is a clean stream of civil officials, how can it be related to the frontier soldiers?"

The imperial army's sabers have different styles, which are generally divided into frontier sabers and Beijing sabers.

The so-called Beijing sabers are uniformly made in the imperial palace. They not only look exquisite, but also very sharp.

And the frontier sabers are all made in the border, and the focus is only on durability. Even the scabbards are not very exquisite, which can be distinguished at a glance.

Although he was confused, he was competing with the third son of the Sheng family in pitching pots, so he didn't think too much about it.

After a pause, Gu Tingye looked at Sheng Changfeng on the side and said, "You don't have many arrows, you're going to lose."

Hearing this, the latter looked embarrassed. If he really lost the betrothal gift, he would probably be beaten.

Behind everyone, Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu, the eldest lady of the Sheng family, were anxious and were discussing what to do.

"Is this Yuan Wenchun specifically looking for someone to destroy my Sheng family?"

"What should I do if Changfeng really loses my Hua'er's betrothal gift!"

"."

Sheng Hong was helpless, "You go find Changbai and let Changbai try, I'll go and make them stop."

The Sheng Changbai he mentioned was Wang Ruofu's biological son and the eldest son of the Sheng family.

Wang Ruofu was dissatisfied and said, "Changbai has always only studied at home. When did he learn to play pot-throwing? How could he beat that guy?"

Sheng Hong frowned and said, "That's better than Changfeng!"

After that, he went to the crowd and said to everyone:

"I was wondering why no one was at the table. It turns out that everyone is here to watch the children playing pot-throwing. What's so good about this? Everyone, go and sit down. The wine and food are ready."

Seeing this, Wang Ruofu hurried to find Sheng Changbai.

Unexpectedly, during this period, everyone did not listen to Sheng Hong's dissuasion at all, and still insisted on watching them play pot-throwing.

Sheng Hong was in a dilemma and secretly said to Sheng Changfeng: "If you lose, I will beat you to death."

When Sheng Changfeng heard this, how could he dare to continue playing pot-throwing? He was so scared that he threw all the arrows in his hand to the ground.

Seeing this, everyone thought that the Sheng family had admitted defeat.

Suddenly, Minglan picked up the arrow on the ground and threw it over, hitting the target with one throw.

Everyone was surprised,

"Hey, it hit! Hit!"

"This young lady can actually play the game of pot-tossing?"

"."

Sheng Hong was also slightly surprised, "Minglan, did you do that?"

Minglan nodded.

Gu Tingye on the side glanced at her, "Little sister, you want to compete with me? Forget it, I lose. Comparing with a little girl like you, even if I win, it's not fair."

Unexpectedly, Minglan was quite unhappy with his domineering look, and said, "Winning is winning, losing is losing, let's compete?"

Gu Tingye smiled.

At this time, Wang Ruofu had brought Sheng Changbai here, and whispered to Sheng Hong, "Can this child do it?"

As they were talking, the two had already started to play pot-tossing.

Minglan hit the target every time she threw the ball. Sheng Changbai, who had just arrived, was surprised and blurted out, "Sixth sister can actually play pot tossing?"

At this time, Gu Tingye looked at the side soldier and suddenly realized that the side soldier's eyes seemed to be on Minglan all the time, and he felt like he wanted to protect her.

It's not ordinary to be protected by the side soldier!

Gu Tingye wanted to let Minglan win, so he lost the pot tossing.

For a moment, everyone was shocked,

"Win, good!"

"This young lady is really good at pot tossing!"

"."

When he heard 'win', Sheng Hong was very surprised, "Minglan, I didn't expect you to play pot so well!"

Yuan Wenchun, who was standing not far from Gu Tingye, was a little depressed.

At this time, Gu Tingye suddenly bowed to the side soldier standing not far from Minglan in front of everyone and asked,

"Excuse me, brother, are you a side soldier?"

Hearing the voice.

Everyone looked at Li Chuan.

Li Chuan was stunned, and then responded: "Li Chuan, the personal guard of the Daizhou Tuanlianshi."

Daizhou Tuanlianshi?

Hearing these five words.

Everyone was stunned.

When did the Sheng family have any relationship with Daizhou?

Others don't know the origin of Daizhou Tuanlianshi.

But Gu Tingye and Yuan Wenchun, the eldest son of the Zhongqin Marquis's Mansion, know it very well.

After all, all the nobles in the capital know that the Duke of Yingguo accepted a personal disciple, who was a hero who defended Yanmen Pass to the death, and now he is the Daizhou Tuanlianshi.

A rising star of the noble lineage.

As descendants of the Marquis' Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion, how could they not know?

Gu Tingye was surprised at first: "The personal guard of the Daizhou Tuanlianshi? The personal guard of General Wei Yuan?"

As soon as the voice fell, Yuan Wenchun also walked quickly to Li Chuan,

"Wei Tuanlian is here too?"

The personal guards are here, and Wei Yuan is very likely to be here too.

Li Chuan nodded in response.

Yuan Wenchun was secretly surprised and looked at Sheng Hong, "Uncle, does your family still have dealings with General Wei Yuan?"
