After Sheng Weiqiao went out, he saw a crowd of crows outside, and almost everyone in the Feng Mansion was guarding it.
This situation left her quite speechless, and Mrs. Feng who followed him out was also laughing and laughing, and said: "What are you all gathering here for? Are you worried that Qiaoer won't beat me? It's like the pirates have captured the county and are about to rush into the house at any time... Let’s all disperse!”
Everyone then excused themselves.
However, Ms. Feng still insisted on following her daughter. When they arrived at the residence arranged for Sheng Weiqiao by the Feng Mansion, Yishan offered tea. Ms. Feng picked it up and took a sip, then asked anxiously: "My dear girl, you told your grandfather What?"
"It's not like my grandfather didn't show up just now." Sheng Weiqiao said indifferently, "Okay, you also saw it, are you still worried that I will make him angry?"
Mrs. Feng calculated the time and found that the grandfather and grandson didn't talk about it for long. Even if Mrs. Feng had been coaxing her granddaughter from the beginning, it didn't take much energy to think about it. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and saw that her daughter was still angry, obviously for her. I was still concerned about the collective concealment of people like myself, so I smiled and said a few gossips, and then left.
After she left, Yishan came up to help Sheng Weiqiao wash up. After hesitating for a long time, she asked, "My dear, have you told Mr. Feng what to do about this matter?"
"Why are you asking this?" Sheng Weiqiao gave her a lukewarm look and said, "Are you asking for Mi Zhen?"
"No!" Yishan quickly explained, "The county king is busy with the war, how can the servants dare to interrupt? The county king doesn't even know about the turmoil here! And without your instructions, how can the slaves dare to talk?"
Sheng Weiqiao said coldly "Oh", not knowing whether he believed it or not, he closed his eyes and remained silent.
Seeing this, Yishan bit her lip for a while, thought about it, and finally had to bite the bullet and remind her: "Actually, it's not just slaves, Lianshan and Master Wu who have never betrayed your thoughts..."
"... You will find a steward of the Feng family to accompany you when you go out. Go to Zhu Ying Xiaozhu and wake them up!" Sheng Weiqiao then remembered that when he left Sheng Mansion angrily, Xu Lianshan and Master Wu were still kneeling!
At this moment, Yishan was trying her best to make insinuations. Most likely, the two people were still kneeling on the ground without her own instructions. If they didn't send someone to wake them up, they would have to continue kneeling all night.
Although Sheng Weiqiao was very disgusted with what they did this time, he was Rong Shuihe's right-hand man after all, and the two of them had worked hard on the way from northern Xinjiang to the south and did not want to overdo it.
After thinking for a moment, he then ordered, "Tell them to have a good rest tonight. If you want to ask for a doctor, ask for a doctor. They will all come over tomorrow. I have something to say!"
Yishan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that the master had not recovered yet and would ignore him and let Xu Lianshan and Master Wu continue to kneel down.
Although both of them are skilled in martial arts, and the autumn and winter in Nanfeng County are still warm, kneeling for a night is not stressful, but Xu Lianshan can't bear it. Master Wu is from Jishanying after all. In Yishan's view, Wuyiying was the most upright direct descendant of Miaohong under Rong Suihe, and it was nothing if Sheng Weiqiao beat and scolded him at will.
But Jishan Camp was left by Huan Guanlan. Even if Huan Guanlan died, there was still a layer of separation between him and Rong Suihe. They were only direct descendants in name.
Especially since Master Wu had a special status in Jishan Camp and was still a female, it was too embarrassing for her. If people in Jishan Camp knew about it later, it would inevitably leave a grudge.
So he served Sheng Weiqiao's arrangements and asked the maid sent by the Feng Mansion to stay with him at night. Then he went outside to find the steward of the Feng family on duty. He went to the Sheng Mansion and knocked on the corner door. When he went to Zhu Ying's small building, he saw that there were two people there. Still kneeling honestly.
At this time, the steward of the Feng Mansion knew better and did not follow. Yishan asked the servants left behind in Zhu Ying's small building to move away, and Fang said to them: "Your Majesty was just in the city, and the head of the Xuanyu family tried every means to invite her. It was announced at the Feng Mansion, and then I ended up at the Feng Mansion for some reason. Just after I finished speaking to the old man of the Feng family, he asked me to come over and wake you up."
When Xu Lianshan and Master Wu heard this, they both asked cautiously: "How is your mood right now? Do you still blame us?"
"What else can you do?" Yishan sneered, "If this kind of thing happens to you, can you just turn around and forget about it? My Majesty also sees that you have always been useful under the king's command, and the previous journey was tiring, so it depends on your support. , so I can’t bear to be harshly criticized! But you should use your brains when you speak and act in the future. After all, husband and wife are one, and hiding it from the empress is equivalent to hiding it from the prince! Do you dare to do such a taboo thing? Even if the empress does not pursue it this time, she will turn back to the prince Got it, I’ll probably give you a good look!”
Although she said this to remind her companions, she was also secretly reminding herself.
Because Yishan has been following Sheng Weiqiao during this period, she has no chance to contact the outside world.
However, she didn't have time to go out to inquire, but she kept in touch with Xu Lianshan and others in private. She already knew about Miss Luo's change of fiancé this time. Because Sheng Weiqiao didn't ask her, she remained silent.
Thinking about it now, Sheng Weiqiao had looked at her several times just now. Maybe this was the problem
Yishan had already neglected her duty once before regarding Sheng Weiqiao's premature birth. It was Sheng Weiqiao who interceded with her and Rong Suihe exposed it. As a result, the mistress was disappointed again... Yishan thought of Sheng Weiqiao's attack today. He looked a little guilty, and worried that Rong Suihe would settle the score with him if he found out, but he secretly decided to perform well next and try to restore his impression as soon as possible!
While she was thinking about this, she heard Xu Lianshan say with a wry smile: "Isn't it difficult for upright officials to deal with household chores? The old man Feng who asked for it was the one who the king of the county would politely call 'grandfather' when he saw him. Before He went to Chang'an alone because of Mrs. Xuan Yu's family, why not for the sake of the prince and the empress? With this favor, do you think we can give him face if he comes forward in person? "
"Besides, it's not me who's talking about this. I really don't think Feng Jiaxuan is at fault for what happened this time."
"No matter how righteous the old man of the Sheng family is, he just sacrifices his children of the Sheng family. The prince of the county and the old lady of the Xuanyu family are not surnamed Sheng, and their biological parents are both here. Is it his turn to take the decision?! "
"As for the empress, now that she has left the court, she is a member of her husband's family. Why should her family use her as a bargaining chip?!"
"In my opinion, the methods of the Feng family and the Xuan Yu family are already very gentle."
"If it were us...how could we be so polite?"
Yishan frowned and listened, and said: "Since you also think that Mr. Sheng is a substitute, don't you think that the princess is now the king's servant, and the king has not ordered things to be concealed. You listened to Mr. Feng and did it. , what’s the difference between him and Mrs. Sheng?”
Xu Lianshan was speechless when he said this, and said with a dejected face: "It's always our fault this time... I just ask the princess to forgive me."
"My Majesty asked you to tidy up tonight. If you feel uncomfortable, please call a doctor first." Yishan sighed, "Go to Feng Mansion early tomorrow morning... My Majesty has something to say!"
"You've been kneeling for so long, why would you call a doctor?" Xu Lianshan stood up nonchalantly, and asked Master Wu if he wanted to help. Master Wu, who was equally disgraced, shook his head, and the two of them staggered up and sat down on the soft couch next to them. After squeezing and pressing the joints for a while, they almost recovered, and they all asked Sheng Weiqiao what he wanted to say.
Yi Shan said: "My Majesty didn't explain it carefully. My Majesty's expression is not easy for these things that happened today. How can I dare to ask? Anyway, we will know when we arrive tomorrow? My Majesty and Madam have asked you to get up. Obviously, even if you still It's a bit unpleasant, but after all, it has eased a lot... Alas, although the empress is doted on by thousands of people and she usually has no intentions, after all, the prince has come to the throne. If we don't change our attitude in the future, we can seriously become the empress. It’s just for the mistress, I’m afraid that I’ll make my mistress angry next time, and she won’t be so easy to talk to now, so I can get over it that day.”
Xu Lianshan and Master Wu looked at each other and said, "Don't worry, are we such ignorant people?"
Seeing that they had listened, Yishan didn't stay long and nodded: "Then I'll go back. The stewards of the Feng family are still waiting. We are outsiders after all. When we walk in the city after the curfew, we have to be accompanied by the stewards of the three families. That's it... think carefully about how you can apologize when you see the empress tomorrow, so that she can calm down."
Around noon the next day, Xu Lianshan and Master Wu arrived in front of Sheng Weiqiao.
According to their schedule, they can come here early in the morning.
But Master Wu reminded Xu Lianshan that Sheng Weiqiao had always been favored and was used to taking naps. She went too early and the mistress hadn't even gotten up yet. She was disturbed from her dream, and her anger that had just subsided was coming back. Woke up.
Then he calculated that Sheng Weiqiao had just gotten up, washed up, and had "breakfast". Sure enough, ordinary people had done many things at this time, but Sheng Weiqiao asked someone to take the "breakfast" away, rinsed his mouth, and called People make tea to eat.
Seeing them coming, he glanced at them and asked everyone on his left and right to leave except Yishan.
Xu Lianshan and Master Wu stepped forward, lifted their robes, knelt down, and sincerely apologized.
Sheng Weiqiao did not cry out, but with a cold face, he listened to them finish admitting their mistake, then sneered and said, "Do you think I am angry just because you helped my grandfather hide it from me?!"
Seeing Xu Lianshan and Mr. Wu looking confused, she sighed, "This is a conspiracy between the three families in Nanfeng County. You are from Mi Zhen, what are you doing in it? If you don't know, you thought you were from Mi Zhen. Meaning! Isn’t this just plain troublesome?”
When Xu Lianshan and Mr. Wu heard this, they were startled. Before they could understand it, Yishan beside them was thoughtful and blurted out: "Mother, what do you mean... the Luo family will marry the Feng family, is this?" "
"This must have been the idea that my grandfather came up with after he figured out what he had done!" Sheng Weiqiao frowned and said, "You all know that there were only two powerful families in Nanfeng County earlier. The Sheng family from which I was born , is a rising star who rose to prominence due to various reasons after my father returned to his hometown after serving as an official!"
"Although because my mother was born in the Feng family, and she is a direct sister with the old lady of the Xuan Yu family, the relationship between the three families is very close, and they usually exchange information, so the relationship is not bad. But Nanfeng County is so big, Originally, the Xuan Yu family and the Feng family were side by side, but after many years of fighting between our ancestors, no one could do anything about the other's compromise, so how could the Sheng family intervene again and turn the equal share of the south wind into a three-point south wind?"
"So in the early days, my grandfather, aunts, and uncles all put a lot of effort into suppressing dad's business."
"It's just an obstacle to my mother and I's face. Everyone is on the same page. The disputes are only in the business field. We are still relatives when we meet each other."
"Later, under the favor of the county guard and the old sea master of Tortoiseshell Island, my father finally withstood the pressure from the Feng family and the Xuan Yu family and allowed the Sheng family to be included in the list of powerful families, forcing my grandfather and aunt to admit that the Sheng family had Be on an equal footing with them!"
Most of the upper echelons of Nanfeng County knew about this incident.
Even Sheng Weiqiao, the apple of his eye, who has always been indifferent to things, knew it from ear to ear: For the Feng family and the Xuanyu family, they sincerely hope that the Feng family can live a good life. When Sheng Lanci first developed his ancestral business, I received a lot of proactive help from them.
However, when the Sheng family threatened them, they suffered a pervasive attack.
The kinship between the three families is real, and they will stick together when something really happens; but the competition is also real, the pie is so big, if one more person comes to share, the share will naturally be smaller. This is related to the family. How could we give in to the important matter of our foundation
The reason why Sheng Weiqiao always maintains a close relationship with relatives is that the principals of the three families are very sensible and distinguish between public and private matters.
From the perspective of the head of the family, they fight each other; from the perspective of their identities as grandfather, uncle, aunt, and son-in-law, they are tender and affectionate.
Therefore, the younger generations of the three families have never been separated because of this relationship of unity and competition.
I even forget that the three families are not really monolithic.
Sheng Weiqiao looked back on the past with a complex expression. He was silent for a while before continuing, "It was a done deal. The Feng family and the Xuan Yu family no longer had the previous pervasiveness and tit-for-tat confrontation with the Sheng family. Everyone kind of acquiesced to the current situation. But this time my grandfather did it. But it gave my grandfather an excellent opportunity."
