The Gongsun Haizhu Yi Liu mentioned was of course Gongsun Su.
Before, Rong Suihe and his wife went to Western Xinjiang to work hard. First of all, they considered that Gongsun Su was kind to him. If he took him with him in such a life-threatening situation, if something went wrong and he would regret it, he might as well let him stay in Chang'an. Enjoy peace and prosperity; secondly, it is because Wuyiying, the direct descendant of Rong Suihe, comes from Tortoiseshell Island, and Gongsun Su is the most legitimate successor of Tortoiseshell Island.
Before Rong Suihe's rise, although Gongsun Su himself was not bad to Rong Suihe, his subordinates, like Luan Yusi and others, had always had an attitude of both taking advantage of and being on guard against Rong Suihe.
When this situation happened on Tortoiseshell Island, Rong Suihe could not bear it because of Gongsun Su's face.
Going to Western Xinjiang was to take over the inheritance left to him by Huan Guanlan, and to further conquer the world. On such an important matter, Rong Suihe would not continue to coddle people like Luan Yusi.
However, Gongsun Su would not look good if he dealt with it, so he could only avoid it.
Later, Gongsun Su and his party were coerced by Meng Guiyu and were trapped in Shanglinyuan during the Chang'an Incident.
Later, at the request of Gongsun Yingjiang, with the help of Xiyin and others, he took advantage of the opportunity when King Gaomi was poisoned and Meng Guiyu left Chang'an at night to escape. Dong Liang led people to pick him up, and arranged for him to be in a secret village in Gyeonggi. Recuperate here.
Soon after, Rong Suihe also showed up in Gyeonggi, but the situation at that time was relatively tense, and Rong Suihe had no time to stay here for long.
Gongsun Su only suspected that Rong Suihe had murdered his own father, Gongsun Tu, but was not sure. Therefore, after thinking about it, he gave up the meeting with the brothers to prevent him from mistakenly blaming Rong Suihe and missing this brother's important event.
Not long ago, Ruru withdrew her troops and allowed Sleeping Crane to return to Chang'an. However, when she came back, everything was troubled and Gongsun Su didn't bother him.
Sheng Weiqiao's family had been here for two days now, and the ceremony to recognize Gongsun Xi as his adoptive brother had been completed. Gongsun Su felt that it was time for a showdown, so he sent someone to spread the news.
Hearing this, Rong Suihe was not surprised. He nodded and said, "Tell the person who came here that I will go over to see my elder brother tomorrow."
Yi Liu went out to deliver the message, and Gongsun Xi beside him frowned: "Prince..."
"You don't have to worry about this matter. I will explain it clearly to my eldest brother." Just before he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Rong Suihe, "You go to the living room to settle down. Someone will take you to the study to talk later."
After sending Gongsun Xi away, he allowed Suihe and Sheng Weiqiao to go back to the backyard to change clothes.
Sheng Weiqiao asked: "Big brother is looking for you, but is it related to the rumors in Chang'an that you killed the old sea master?"
"Otherwise, today we recognize Ah Xi as our younger brother, why wouldn't he be here?" Rong Suihe sighed, "I have wanted to explain to him for a long time, but he is deeply in love with the old sea master and his son, so he was not ready. He was deliberately avoiding me before. It’s hard for him to take the initiative now, so I thought I’d go there quickly!”
"You need to take more people with you when you go out of the city tomorrow!" Sheng Weiqiao reminded him worriedly, "I'm not doubting my eldest brother, I'm just worried that my eldest brother will be taken advantage of."
Rong Suihe was tying the belt of his robe. He turned around and said with a smile: "Don't worry, dear girl, your brother Suihe is not the kind of person who shows off his talents. The son of a rich man can't sit down in the hall!"
"You are saying that you were not the one who went deep into the grassland alone and bloodbathed King Ruru's tent before?" Sheng Weiqiao sneered and said, "At that time, I was not by your side and couldn't control you. Now, not only am I here, but my parents are also here." I’ll be back in two days, if you’re playing tricks on me now, they will join forces to teach you a lesson later, but don’t blame me for watching the fun!”
After pondering for a while, he added, "You specially kept Ah Xi here because you want to talk about his marriage?"
Previously, Sheng Lanci and his wife opposed the marriage between Gongsun Xi and Zhao Taomei, so they went to the front yard to talk to Rong Suihe.
Originally, she was going to tell her daughter the details of what happened when she came back, but it just happened that Mrs. Jiang and Tu Fenglou's mother and daughter came over. The couple were busy going to the Tufu to visit Tu Ruchuan, and they didn't have time to tell Sheng Weiqiao in detail, so they just pulled her aside before leaving. , told Rong Suihe in a low voice that she had promised not to let Gongsun Xi marry Zhao Taoyi, and asked her to urge her.
At this moment Sheng Weiqiao asked, Rong Suihe hesitated for a moment, feeling that it would be better to wait until Sheng Lanci and his wife came back to tell his wife about Queen Meng's matter. After all, Sheng Weiqiao seemed to be such a close friend of the boudoir, and he always valued her, but he had made up his mind at this moment. Determined not to let Queen Meng go. Even if Sheng Wei Qiao is sensible and won't make a fuss after hearing the news, he will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Sheng Lanci and his wife will be back in a few days, so there is no need to make this little ancestor uncomfortable right now.
Then he said: "That day, I was thinking that Ah Xi was already that old, so I was in a hurry to get him engaged, so I didn't think carefully. After some analysis by my parents, it was indeed not a good idea for him to marry his third cousin. But because he had promised to his uncle before, , it’s better to go to the house and go through the motions. I plan to tell Ah Xi later to be more indifferent when seeing my cousin. My eldest uncle has always loved my cousin, and knowing this situation, he will definitely refuse the marriage. "
Because of Mrs. Qin, Sheng Weiqiao was happy to see that the marriage was settled. He nodded when he heard this: "Then I will send the notice to Zhao Mansion tomorrow!"
Because she was going to Zhao Mansion, when she thought of Mrs. Qin and Zhao Taomei, she couldn't help but think of Zhao Taozhuang, the first member of the Zhao family she met, and then thought of Rong Qingzui, who was said to have a close relationship with Zhao Taozhuang, "By the way, let's come On the way, I seem to have heard rumors in Chang'an that because His Majesty is in poor health, he may not be able to support the birth of the Queen and Zhaoyi, so he plans to choose someone from the clan to adopt as his heir? It seems that he chose Rong Qingzui?"
"That's what happened." Rong Suihe smiled casually, "Meng Guiyu has been busy with this matter for the past two days! Yesterday, he invited many ministers to visit Xuan Jing in the palace, and Luo Pu was among them. , and after going to see him, he told me that it was true that he wouldn’t last long.”
Previously, because of Huan Guanlan, the King of Gaomi had always been worried that Huan Guanlan's favorite disciple Luo Pu would have an affair with Suihe. He listened to Qi Jianxun's advice and placed the Luo family under house arrest. He even forced the old lady of the Luo family to commit suicide in public, which caused a scene. of uproar.
But not long after, King Gaomi was defeated. Rong Suihe personally presided over the retreat, but secretly took the Luo family with him.
Luo Pu was grateful for his generous help, but also resented the King of Gaomi for listening to the slander and forcing his own mother to death. He also had a friendship with Huan Guanlan. Just like Yuan Liuguang, he devoted himself to Rong Suihe's command.
"Meng Guiyu really has this idea?" Sheng Weiqiao asked half surprised and half puzzled, "Isn't he afraid of your objection? Oh, by the way, are you going to let him do this?"
She didn't believe that Rong Suihe would be willing to kneel before Rong Qingzui and bow his head!
Even a temporary solution is unlikely!
Rong Suihe said nonchalantly: "If he is willing to do the hard work, then he can do it... I just want to see what the people in the court think."
He now holds the military power, and his powerful enemy Ruru is hampered by civil strife. He is not afraid of what kind of splash Meng Guiyu will make, so he is not very concerned about this matter.
He mentioned Zhao Taozhuang, "Our second cousin is said to be obsessed with Rong Qingzui. Although we don't know the exact extent of her obsession. But Mrs. Qin has already announced that she was seriously ill on her way back and forth to Ruzhou. Yaoshi It doesn’t work, now I’m just resigned to my fate...I guess I will die in a few days.”
"... I don't know what Rong Qingzui looked like before, but since the incident in Bishui County, isn't it said that his appearance has been disfigured and disabled?" Sheng Weiqiao was a little incredible, "Meng Guiyu wants to promote him to be the crown prince, how can he say that? It was a choice made out of desperation, and my second cousin... is so infatuated with her?"
"My dear girl, what are you talking about?" Rong Suihe was dissatisfied when he heard this and glanced sideways at her, "Does it all depend on his face whether you like someone or not? If someone has real feelings, you don't care. What a mess!"
Sheng Weiqiao smiled and hit him, and said: "Who is looking at your face? In terms of pretty boys, Xu Baomo and Li Shengxu are better than you, okay? You obviously rely on your skills to impress Mine! I just feel that Rong Qingzui seems to be a bit incompetent. This situation ruins Rong and makes him disabled. After all, the second cousin is also the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family. After becoming an official, she is not the kind who has never seen the world, but she actually treats him It’s just a bit surprising to be so determined!”
Rong Suihe was then satisfied and said: "Probably everyone is in their own eyes... Anyway, it has nothing to do with us."
The couple discussed the trivial matters for a while and settled down.
The Zhao family received a message back the next day and agreed to meet at the Zhao Mansion two days later.
On the same day, Mrs. Qi sent someone to send Rong Lingzhan and Rong Lingqiao over, because when she went to Cuihuang Courtyard to visit Mrs. Qi, she had personally felt the alienation between Guangchang County and Yunyang County. Sheng Weiqiao had no confidence to take care of her at this moment. They are good to them, but they are also worried that they will anger Mi Zhen County Prince Mansion because of the Qi family's affairs and refuse to get along well with them, so they can't help but feel a little uneasy.
Fortunately, the two brothers didn't know whether it was because they were young and ignorant, or they had been warned by Qi before they came. In short, when they came to Sheng Weiqiao, they were very respectful and polite. Although they were a little distant, considering that their aunt and nephew rarely met each other, this Young children are very forgetful, and they almost don’t know each other after a few months. What’s more, Sheng Wei Qiao and the others haven’t seen each other for almost two years
Not seeing the hatred and resentment in their eyes, Sheng Weiqiao breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and greeted them, and personally took them to the yard that had been tidied up long ago.
After walking around the yard and asking them to just tell the steward if they needed anything, Sheng Weiqiao was about to leave to prepare the gift list for Zhao Mansion, but Rong Lingzhan asked: "Aunt, where are brother Ruibin and uncle?"
"My little brother was taken away by your third uncle's men." Sheng Weiqiao explained, "Ruibin is young and fell ill again two days ago. Aunt, I don't have much experience in taking care of babies. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to take care of him well, so I invited Ning. Weihou and his wife helped, and they are now in Ningweihou's mansion!"
He was also afraid that the two nephews would think it was because of their arrival, so he specifically asked Sheng Weiyuan and Rong Ruibin to stay away. He added, "When my aunt comes over in a few days and takes them back to the house, you will naturally be able to meet each other."
Rong Lingzhan's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he lowered his head in disappointment.
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know him very well. Seeing the situation, he just thought his brother was sad because he didn't see him. He stroked his head and comforted him, and asked the kitchen to make various snacks to cheer them up.
After all this hard work, it was almost late, so I dragged my tired body back to Jingshen Hall.
Little did they know that after she left, Rong Lingzhan and Rong Lingtiao sent away their servants. The two brothers closed the door and whispered in the inner room: "Mother wants us to come to the Prince's Mansion and try to get close to Rong Ruibin. It is best to stay for a long time and get along with Rong Ruibin like a real brother...Rong Ruibin is not in the house at all at the moment, what should I do?"
Rong Lingtiao pursed her lips and said, "Didn't eldest sister say that? Third uncle has always been indifferent to us, but third aunt is very nosy. We tried our best to please her. Third uncle dotes on her very much, even if we look at her For our purposes, we will not disobey her!"
"But that Sheng Weiyuan, he is not in the house this time either." Rong Lingzhan's childish face darkened, "You mean the third uncle's people took him away... maybe he is with Rong Ruibin right now?"
"That's the third aunt's biological brother. Of course, the third aunt thinks he is more affectionate than us." Rong Lingtiao said, "The second sister and the third sister told me not to offend him. Otherwise, if he complains, the third aunt will definitely get tired of having sex with us! "
Rong Lingzhan looked at him: "But if the third aunt deliberately lets her brother get intimate with Rong Ruibin, what will Rong Ruibin do when she grows up and has this little uncle as her playmate?" ?”
Rong Lingtiao was stunned and immediately fell silent.
