Sheng Weiqiao returned to Zhu Ying Xiaozhu with a red face. Fortunately, no one saw the flaw along the way, so he went to tell Lu Qi and Lu Jin not to tell anyone.
The two maids nodded repeatedly: "Slaves, I haven't seen or heard anything tomorrow!"
"It's easy for him!" Sheng Weiqiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of the scene Mingyue accidentally bumped into, he was ashamed and annoyed, but he no longer had the courage to trouble Sheng Suihe. He had to curse silently in his heart: Dong I fell into his lap for the first time, give me a good look!
Thinking of that, he lowered his head and saw the unicorn jade pendant in his leg. He couldn't help frowning and said to himself: "That jade pendant is different from ordinary things. Why don't you show it to your aunt?"
After a long while, Xuan Yu Mansion, Xuan Yu Feng frowned, looked at the Qilin Jade Pendant sent by her niece, and said, "Is that really the thing from the outer room? I'm sure?"
"He saw it with his own eyes, how could it be false?" Sheng Weiqiao said expectantly, "Aunt, can you see the problem?"
"The problem is big!" Xuan Yu Feng put down the jade pendant and said with a solemn expression, "It's useless to tell me that kind of thing - Cuixiao, I will send someone to the Feng Mansion immediately and invite Qiao Er's father! "
Sheng Weiqiao was very dissatisfied with being looked down upon by her aunt, so she hugged her legs and arms and shook her hard: "My aunt didn't even say anything, how do you know it's useless to tell him? Besides, he didn't get that jade pendant!"
"That thing is very likely to come from Chang'an!" Xuanyu Feng couldn't bear her pestering, and finally revealed something, "The style of the carving looks like it came from a foreigner - if the jade pendant really belongs to the outer room, , please, his birth mother has an extraordinary background; please, please, it means that he is not from the Sheng family, and he himself has an extraordinary origin!"
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she said thoughtfully, "Since the foreign concubine from Bu Nao has come back to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, if his biological mother really has a noble status and relies on power to force my mother to give up the throne to her, it is not unreasonable! Why delay her son? He's seventeen years old, why should he be sent back alone? He thought, maybe the latter one will be even bigger!"
"But if the concubine is not his father's child and has great status, why did he ask to go to his house and become his father's son?" Sheng Weiqiao asked puzzledly, "How could dad agree?"
"So he begged my father to come over and shut up!" Xuan Yu Feng said with a frown, "After all, my father also stayed in Chang'an back then - and he didn't deny my mother, how did he know that he did all the things he did during his time in Chang'an? What things did you make friends with?!”
While she was prevaricating her niece, she felt her heartbeat gradually speeding up: Nanfeng County was far away from Chang'an, and Xuan Yu's family was a squire who was focused on doing business. Naturally, he would not care too much if he made mistakes in the court.
But when Sheng Lanci proposed to marry Feng Yinlu, the Feng family suffered a setback when they announced the marriage to the Feng family. Can they find a good home for their little daughter? Can they send someone to Chang'an to check his reputation? !
Xuan Yu Feng remembered that when the people sent to Chang'an came back, in addition to reporting Sheng Lanci's performance in Chang'an, they also said a few words smoothly: "I heard that the emperor favored the Shu sisters who were born dancers. . The Queen Mother lowered the curtain and entrusted everything to her brothers. The clan and court officials felt deeply troubled by this mistake. For example, King Gaomi, the younger brother of Bidong, came to remonstrate several times, requesting the emperor to personally govern, but the emperor had no choice but to stay in the palace for half a month. I couldn't help but run back to the harem to look for the Shu sisters, so I told King Gaomi and others that they had no choice!"
The old lady of Huizhan listened curiously and said: "The emperor is rich all over the world, what kind of beauties are not there? The Shu sisters are all over the country, how can the emperor deny them even the government?"
"Old madam, you don't know that when I was in Chang'an, I heard a rumor: The emperor has been childless since his wedding. A few months ago, the golden beauty finally got pregnant. Isn't that a good thing? Even the Queen Mother The queen is as happy as anything, guess what?" Seeing the mistress's interest, Dongren said jokingly, "Sisters Shu are not happy, and they tried to show off to the emperor, but the emperor couldn't hold it in anymore, so he just shouted Someone gave Jin Meiren a bowl of abortion medicine! You said that the emperor dotes on those two people so much that he even has no heirs, not to mention the government, right?"
At that point, Feng Li, the head of the Feng family, stopped him and asked everyone to continue discussing the marriage between Feng Yinlu and Sheng Lanci without going off topic.
... If Mingxuan associates it with Feng, one cannot help but wonder: "More than ten years! It is said that the Shu sisters not only did not fall out of favor with the passage of time, but became more and more proud. Last year, they even forced the Empress Yuan to drink poison and die - And the emperor still has no children, because the Shu sisters have no children, and no one else is allowed to continue the heirs for the emperor! Even if the emperor himself is stunned by those two, how can others watch the emperor continue to have no heirs? What about Sheng Sleeping? Crane... is there any cocoa... prince who was secretly sent out of the palace?!"
Feng was not far off in thinking about it, but after a while, Sheng Lanci, who was invited over, glanced at the unicorn jade pendant after entering the door, and smiled: "Did Sleeping Crane give it to my dear girl? Then My child, when I saw him exchanging something for that jade pendant, he told me that he liked it, so why don’t you give it to your dear girl as a greeting gift?"
Announced to Feng: "..."
She calmed down for a moment before asking, "Did you get it from Sleeping Crane? Such a good jade pendant, but you don't know what kind of treasure you can get it in exchange for?"
"What he gave in exchange for the jade pendant was not a good thing." Sheng Lanci said with a smile, "It's just that you are lucky - there is a market on the seaside. Sister, I also know about it, so I can't touch it."
Sheng Weiqiao was confused after hearing this, and was about to ask a question, but Xuanyu Feng seemed to be blushing, and turned to her and said: "Qiaoer, I'm going to my cousin's place to have a look. He has done some interesting things recently." Something, maybe I’ll like it too.”
"What do you like!" Sheng Weiqiao stood up with a sense of aggrievedness and said angrily, "I really want to drive him away!"
Xuan Yu Feng was thinking about things at that time and ignored her little temper. Sheng Lanci immediately felt sorry for her. She was a good boy and a good boy. He coaxed her all the way out of the door and talked with her in the east corridor. After talking to each other, he made sure that his sweet girl was no longer angry, and then he nodded and bowed and sent her away. He turned around and complained dissatisfied to his sister-in-law: "Please go away, sweet girl, and don't show it so obviously! Good girl is so smart... "
"A child of that age has been ignorant and incompetent for a long time. We are so used to it!" Xuanyu Feng said impatiently, "I wonder if he knocks things all the time. The child may be crooked in some way - forget it. Now, if you don’t tell me that, he will ask me if I really got that jade pendant?”
"Why don't you put the sleeping crane somewhere where your good girl can see it? Let alone your good girl bringing it to show to my eldest sister!" Sheng Lanci said sternly after hearing this, "He was very rural when he became an official, except for his family. In addition to being inseparable from others, in fact, I also see that the situation between North Korea and China is good, and I don’t want to get involved in the disputes, so I take this opportunity to leave - after more than ten years, do you really want to take the initiative to wade into troubled waters? No. Dear mother and daughter, he can’t take that risk!”
Xuan Yu and Feng Shi were wrong when they thought about it. Sheng Lanci came from a serious imperial examination background and had been in the Han Dynasty. The Sheng family had a family friend like Ning Weihou in the court. If he is tired of being a country squire and wants to become an official, he doesn't have to risk his family and exterminate his family by getting involved in royal affairs. He can just follow the path of the Xu family and make a grand comeback.
Bu Nao: "That jade pendant is definitely something that can be worn out. It can be used to show off one's official status if it is not a clan. There is no such family near our Nanfeng County! How come it appears in the market by the sea?"
"Is there a reason for that?" When asked about that question, Sheng Lanci sighed, stroked his short beard, and then continued, "Does eldest sister know about the major events in Hai Zai not long ago?"
