Although Sheng Lanci and his wife were eager to tell their daughter about Empress Meng, they heard that there were guests and asked to save face for their daughter in front of others. They even went to cover up their original annoyance and were a little curious. They couldn't afford to come all the way from home. Although there were a lot of greetings from various families, they were sensible enough not to bother them.
Even if some uninterested person comes to disturb him, such as Sheng Weiqiao, who has a lot of things in and outside the Ming Dynasty, he will probably not be received. Then whoever comes over will be directly invited to stay with Suihe and his wife. Jingshentang shut up
Then he asked the maid: "Who is coming?"
"But Tu Changshi's wife and young lady." The maid said, "The empress is asking me to invite you two!"
"Brother Hanshan's wife and daughter?" Feng was coming to Chang'an for the first time. Hearing this, she was wondering who the butcher chief Shi was, but Sheng Lanci suddenly realized it and hurriedly packed her clothes and prepared to go out, "You are really too negligent! It's time for them to visit the butcher's house, how can they let their younger siblings and nieces work?"
As he was talking, he went outside and saw Sheng Weiqiao changing into the dress and hairpin she wore to meet guests, and talking affectionately to Didong Yicuo's mother and daughter.
Tu Ruchuan has a long history as the eldest princess, and her rank is not low. However, she is not as wealthy as the Sheng family. His wife Jiang and daughter Tu Fenglou are relatively simple in dress. Ru Ming walks in the room with all red sandalwood furniture and coral trees around. There was a bit of panic in the Jingshen Hall filled with dazzling arrays of emerald lamps.
Seeing Sheng Lanci and his wife coming in, they all stood up quickly.
"Brothers and sisters, what are you doing? Walk quickly, walk quickly!" When Sheng Lanci saw this, she quickly motioned for Feng to help her, and said with half emotion and half guilt, "They just came to Chang'an, and the boxes and cages were all piled up in the past two months. Well, I originally planned to visit the mansion in two months, but instead, my brother-in-law and niece came over first!"
Looking at Tu Fenglou again, Tu Fenglou was several years younger than Sheng Weiqiao, and he looked like a big kid at that time. He bowed to Sheng Lanci and his wife quite shyly, saying as loudly as a mosquito: " Hello, Uncle Shi, Aunt Shi!"
"Good boy!" After being reminded by her husband, Ms. Feng remembered that Tu Ruchuan was not only her husband's friend, but also an uncle who cared about her own daughter. At this moment, Jiang and her daughter looked close to each other, and they didn't even hear the words. He hesitantly picked up the mutton-fat jade leg bracelet on Dong's wrist, put it on Tu Fenglou in front of him, and said with a smile, "I didn't know we would come over at that time. The gifts originally prepared for us were already in the cage like Mingdu. I'm afraid I won't be able to find it for a while... let's play with that one first!"
Ms. Jiang knew that the Sheng family was rich and that the mother-in-law must have good things.
Especially when the couple came to Chang'an specifically to accompany their daughter and grandson, they would not support Sheng Weiqiao and her mother. They must be well-dressed. When they saw this, they declined on behalf of their daughter: "She is only so old, where can she use such good things? My sister-in-law really Too polite!"
"It's not suitable to use now. When she grows up in two years, won't it be fine?" Feng said, "The child's skin is red and looks like the mutton-fat jade. He thinks that the bracelet is the best match for her. Nao!"
Liangdongli declined, and Sheng Lanci and Sheng Weiqiao helped Feng show off, but Jiang was a little embarrassed and let her daughter take the bracelet.
Sheng Lanci and his wife also sat down. After the two exchanged some greetings, Sheng Lanci asked about Tu Ruchuan's current situation. Jiang's eyes immediately turned red when she heard this, and she said, "It's up to me to deny him, so I'll be here tomorrow." I came to ask for it!"
Sheng Lanci was shocked, and Dong consciously leaned forward: "Is there something wrong with Brother Hanshan...?"
"He had his legs broken, and Ruming is raising him in his ancestral home in Gyeonggi Province." Mrs. Jiang said, tears falling one by one, and she choked, "Because he offended the nobleman, the eldest princess Dong also Unable to protect him, during that period of confinement, he went to see a doctor for him, but even the better doctors did not dare to treat him. The eldest princess Diandong arranged for someone to secretly go to see him, and the prescriptions that were given were not found in larger drug stores. I didn't dare to sell it to him. He caught it twice in the small shop, and after he ate it, it became worse and worse!"
"Later, the doctor arranged by the east side of the eldest princess' palace looked at the dregs of the medicine and said that there was something wrong with the medicine and that it was adulterated with fake products."
"He had been having fever for several days at that time. He really couldn't do anything... I heard that Brother Shi and his wife came to Chang'an, so..."
"Brothers and sisters, I am really too outspoken!" Sheng Lanci was heartbroken when he heard this, and couldn't help but say, "When did such a big thing happen? Why didn't you send him a letter earlier?! Although he had always been He is in Nanfeng County, which is very far away from Chang'an. However, if his family has a shop in Chang'an, I can tell the shop and the shopkeeper will naturally contact him!"
"Then even if he doesn't come, why can't he think of something for me?"
Sheng Weiqiao, who was at the head, had entertained Jiang and his daughter before, but they had only chatted for a few words and did not bring up the main topic. At that time, he also said: "Aunt, even if they didn't come earlier, you are afraid that it is difficult to understand the distance. Thirst, come directly to the mansion to find Mi Zhen, is he very good? I think back when they first came to Chang'an, Uncle Shi protected and guided them, but they couldn't even move! They haven't shown any filial piety in those years. You two, don’t you owe me a debt? You don’t tell them anything, so...that’s wrong, who hurt Uncle Shi?!”
Sheng Weiqiao actually knew it well when he asked. After all, with Princess Wuyang's long sleeves and good dancing skills, there were only a few nobles who she couldn't mediate with in Chang'an City in the east.
Sure enough, Mrs. Jiang whimpered and said, "Say what Uncle Yong Ning means!"
"Meng Guihan?" Sheng Weiqiao sneered and said, "I guess he is from Meng Guiyu's side!"
"You are a villain who gets carried away when you are proud!" Sheng Lanci and his wife turned pale after hearing this, and said through gritted teeth, "Brothers and sisters, I don't want to be sad, they will send someone with me to Gyeonggi to bring Brother Hanshan to Chang'an. For diagnosis and treatment, please hire the best imperial doctor and use the best medicine! As for Meng Guihan’s account, I will discuss it later with Mi Zhen, and sooner or later we will settle the account with him with interest!"
The three people in Bu Naosheng's family were also a little confused. Because of Tu Ruchuan's long history as the eldest princess of Wuyang, whether Tu Ruchuan was the right confidant to support the eldest princess of Wuyang to support the family after the death of her husband. According to his age and experience, he should not offend Meng Gui. Hanba
Of course, it is also possible that Meng Guihan was relying on his brother's power and position to be arrogant and look for trouble... But it seems that the Sheng family has never heard of Meng Guihan's similar behavior
Could it be that they were new here and not well-informed
Although there were constant speculations in their minds, when they wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, Sheng Lanci and his wife did not bother even asking to go to the Xu family the next month, and asked Sheng Weiqiao to send someone to explain to the Nan family. The guards asked for a team of soldiers and horses to pick up people outside the city!
And Sheng Weiqiao personally rushed to Ningwei Houfu to explain why he couldn't come to visit next month. Nanshi expressed his understanding and sighed: "That Tu Hanshan! You are too stubborn! People say it hurts your muscles and bones. One hundred days later, his leg was broken, and he begged for early diagnosis and treatment! He actually dragged us into the family! If he was too embarrassed to go to Mi Zhen, he might as well come to them! They are all close friends of my father. , even if they don’t have much contact with each other, would they be very considerate if they knew about it?”
At the same time, he also felt puzzled, "Tu Hanshan is not that stupid young man. Before Mi Zhen came back to Chang'an, Meng Guiyu's legs could cover the sky. As his younger brother, would Meng Guihan's status also rise? ! At that time, the nobles in the east of Chang'an, including the clan members, all of them thought that their brothers would stay away... How did Tu Hanshan offend them? "
Sheng Weiqiao said: "He couldn't think about it just now. He remembered that when they came to Chang'an before, Tu Shishu took good care of them. Thinking about whether he could treat the Meng brothers, Mi Zhen was full of resentment, so he angered that man Where is Uncle Shi?"
Nan looked down upon that kind of angry behavior: "If you are so narrow-minded, even if you don't have secret love, the two brothers won't last long!"
After saying that, he asked Sheng Weiqiao if he had anything else to do.
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao shaking her head, she said to her, "Then let me go back quickly! I just came here tomorrow, and the house is probably not tidy up, right? It's just a mess. Ruibin is young, and my parents are here, which is very embarrassing. Look after me, my parents are not here, how can my mother-in-law waste time with him?"
Sheng Weiqiao said with a smile: "He has a wet nurse to take him with him. If he comes out for a while, he will be fine. Besides, Mi Zhen is working in the mansion at that time. If anything happens, Dongren will naturally go to him."
Still grinding, Nan greeted Xu Baomo and his wife before leaving.
Who would have expected that she would be slapped in the face when she returned to the Prince's Mansion: As soon as she entered the house, the wet nurse rushed out and told her that Rong Ruibin seemed to have a fever, her face was flushed, she kept crying, and she couldn't be coaxed!
Sheng Weiqiao just asked, "Have you ever asked the imperial doctor?"
Another Dongfeng came to report that Sheng Weiyuan was causing trouble. He boldly went to tease Chu Wu. Chu Wu had been with Rong Suihe for many years, and had a special person to serve him in the prince's palace. He had a professional cook and lived a pampered life. Although it is not as interesting as its kind in human flesh, it is still a ferocious beast.
It is true that in the early days, he often assisted Rong Suihe in killing people and setting fires.
Like Sheng Weiqiao, Rong Suihe personally introduced it to it so that it knew it belonged to him, so it had to guard against coke that would cause a misunderstanding and kill him if it saw him and Rong Suihe playing around. A stranger like Sheng Weiyuan who has just arrived will be in a good mood if he doesn't give a paw to him!
Sheng Weiyuan didn't know where he got the courage, but he wanted to ride it!
Wasn't he caught on the ground without any hesitation on the fifth day of the month? The Dongren who was waiting for him reacted quickly and stopped him crying for his father. The man who followed him said "Ah woo" and took a bite!
Sheng Weiyuan, who was seeking death, was not only made to feel chest tight, upset and almost vomiting blood after being photographed, but also frightened to death by the experience of almost losing his life in the mouth of the leopard, Dangdong cried to death.
When Dongren carried him to Sheng Weiqiao, he still looked like he was in a state of despair, and he couldn't even turn his eyes!
Sheng Weiqiao's son was so frightened that he didn't even care anymore. He rushed over and called him by his name, and asked in fear: "Is Yuan'er scared to death?"
"Bah, bah, bah!" Sheng Lanci and his wife left in a hurry, but they couldn't help but think of the two children in the house who had not grown up, and Sheng Weiqiao, a daughter they were still worried about when she grew up, whether Xiquan would be left behind. Went to help.
Xiquan, who had rushed over after receiving the news, entered the door. Hearing this, he said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! Our young master is so courageous. He was a little frightened at that time. How could he do this?" Silly?"
