"You talk about me again! If you talk about me again, I'll go find the second sister!" The girl with a double-snail bun angrily walked to the end of the corridor, and heard Mrs. Xiao behind her still beating and cursing, "No "What a worry." A wave of grievance surged up, and he couldn't help but turn around and blurt out, "Let the second sister give me..."
After a distance of more than ten feet, the mother and daughter lost their voice at the same time.
After a while, Mrs. Xiao packed up and came out, and as expected she saw Sheng Weiwu standing in the moon cave door wiping her tears.
Her husband, Sheng Lanzi, is the youngest son in the family. However, because he is a step-sibling, he has an eldest son who is favored by the old man, a brother who is doted on by his biological mother, who is as angry as a rival actor, and a younger sister who occupies the bottom. As the youngest child, Sanfang has been given preferential treatment, so that Sanfang has never had any say in the Sheng family.
I don't know why, but this daughter has the most stubborn and arrogant temper among the girls of this generation in the Sheng family.
She is actually more arrogant than the second lady Sheng Weiqiao from the first house, who is favored by several families and is now the queen.
Thinking of the second young lady, I also thought of Sheng Suihe, the one who later changed his surname to Rong and is now ranked 95th. When he entered the Sheng family, the third room went there with the intention of watching the excitement. Next, the whole family told each other to sit back and say nothing. However, when Sheng Weiqiao made an awkward fuss and wanted to show off to others, the second room didn't say anything, and Sheng Weiwu diligently handed over the vase.
My daughter is really married to her cousin Sheng Weiqiao.
When Mrs. Xiao thought of this, she regretted that she shouldn't have taught Sheng Weiwu to respect Sheng Weiqiao since she was a child just to have the big house's lap.
No, it was fine when the two sisters were affectionate before, but now they have been separated for several years due to their elders. Sheng Weiwu still couldn't help but cry when she mentioned this cousin.
"Your second sister didn't annoy you, she was also in trouble." Annoyance turned into annoyance, the end was done, and Mrs. Xiao could only coax the little ancestor by herself, "You are old now, you should know that your grandparents, especially your thousands of What Dao's aunt did back then... It was also because your uncle and aunt were so generous that they stopped the Feng family from being declared in the family. Otherwise, even without His Majesty's signal, those two families alone would be enough to destroy both of us... As the saying goes, the father owes the child to the son. Also, although we haven’t done anything to offend your uncle and his family in our room, your uncle and aunt have finally become coldhearted and don’t want to have anything to do with us anymore.”
"If your second sister is nice to you now and asks you to be around all the time, she will be harming you!"
Sheng Weiqiao was famous for being kind-hearted and soft-hearted, but this soft-heartedness was probably acquired.
From childhood to adulthood, the people around her have protected her and loved her like a jewel. Whenever there is any trouble, she doesn't need to take action, there are many people rushing to do it for them.
Even though she is now the queen of a country and the biological mother of two princes, under the favor of Emperor Zhenqing, who is recognized as the Mingjun today, there is still a little innocence in her eyebrows that is not familiar with the world.
Of course, Mrs. Xiao also knew that with the queen's intelligence, she might not really be ignorant of worldly affairs, let alone the reason why no one from the Nanfeng Sheng family had gone to Chang'an to pay her respects in person over the years.
But the position of the queen is also difficult. No matter how close sister Sheng Weiwu is to her, can she still be able to kiss her biological parents
Not to mention the parents, there are two maternal relatives, the Xuanyu family and the Feng family. Which of them has watched the queen grow up and loves the queen very much
Queen Sheng didn't want to go against these elders, and she didn't want these elders to annoy Sheng Weiwu, so she could only gradually cut off contact with her sister.
Mrs. Xiao sighed secretly, "In the final analysis, it is us elders who are wrong and have wronged you sisters!"
She actually felt a little aggrieved when she said this. Firstly, she felt that most of the evil was done by her father-in-law, mother-in-law, her second uncle and her sister-in-law, and the third wife was really involved; secondly, she felt sorry for herself. Both husband and son are too mediocre.
As long as there is an outstanding one among the father and son Sheng Lanzi and Sheng Weche, Sheng Lanci can take a fancy to Sheng Lanci in the early years and cultivate him carefully... Then let alone the third room, it does not mean that he has always been raised by the eldest room. The same is true between brothers, uncles and nephews. There is one more emotion. When Dafang and his family left Nanfeng County while accompanying Sheng Weiqiao and his son to the north, they wouldn't have broken off with Sanfang so cleanly.
After all, although he had never done anything to offend Dafang, the third family had always enjoyed the wealth and splendor given by Dafang because of his bloodline... There was really not much that Dafang could miss.
Sheng Lanci and his wife didn't feel guilty at all for cutting off contact with them. After all, they didn't owe Sanfang anything.
"I didn't want to ask the second sister for anything, I just wanted to see her." Sheng Weiwu originally just cried silently, but after being persuaded by her mother, she just burst into tears, "I haven't seen the second sister for several years... I will immediately I am about to leave the cabinet, the third sister said. After I leave the cabinet, I will have children and host the middle school. Let alone have the same leisurely days as before, I am afraid that I will not even have the thought to sit down and have tea with my sisters... Arrive Will I still miss my second sister like this at that time?"
Mrs. Xiao smiled bitterly: "My son! I know you, but the Feng family will not believe you, and your uncle and aunt may not believe you either... The current outcome is already a tacit agreement set by Mr. Feng himself. If it is broken, It’s hard for anyone to tell anyone in the future!”
This daughter is still too young to know that her uncle Sheng Lanci squeezed the Sheng family into the powerful family and forced the Feng family and Xuan Yu family to admit that the Sheng family had an equal status with them in Nanfeng County. Difficult and thrilling... You know, Sheng Lanci's wife is the biological daughter of Mr. Feng and the sister of Mrs. Xuan Yu's family!
Both Mr. Feng and Mrs. Xuanyu loved and protected Mr. Feng very much.
But when it comes to major matters involving family interests, no one is willing to give in!
In those years, the Feng family and the Xuanyu family tried almost every method to prevent the rise of the Sheng family. They just cared about a little bit of blood and flesh and blood and did not say hello to Sheng Lanci and his family.
Later, the old man of the Feng family finally took advantage of the opportunity of Mr. Sheng's confusion and tried to drive a wedge between the three members of the Sheng family. He then struck while the iron was hot and promoted the move of the eldest member of the Sheng family to the north.
At that time, Sheng Weiqiao was already a quasi-empress, and soon became the official head of the middle palace.
According to the rules, the queen's parents and brothers are required to be given titles and titles.
Not to mention Emperor Zhenqing’s overwhelming love for the Queen
The Nanfeng Sheng family was basically supported by Sheng Lanci alone. After his family left, even if they left a lot of property to support Old Mrs. Sheng and his wife, they would still be treated with two and three bedrooms... But Old Mrs. Sheng was old, and he and his wife The two-bedroom and three-bedroom family had little ability to finance the family business. They watched helplessly and fell into decline. Within a few years, they completely fell out of the ranks of wealthy families.
However, Mr. Feng was ruthless and meticulous in his work. He suppressed the Feng family and the Xuan Yu family and refused to bully the Sheng family too much. Even when the Sheng family declined and their livelihood was difficult, his daughter Xuan Yu and the Feng family supported Sheng Weirao and stepped in to preside over the Sheng family. Revitalization of the home.
... Although the degree of Sheng Weirao's revitalization is not comparable to that of Sheng Lanci at that time, let alone returning to the ranks of powerful families to be on an equal footing with Feng Jiaxuan's family, which is not even a threat to these two families, the Sheng family can at least continue He lived a life of making slaves and maids well clothed and well fed.
People who don't understand this point only think that Mr. Feng is benevolent and righteous.
But Mrs. Xiao heard her father-in-law sigh with emotion when he was drunk that he couldn't play with the in-laws. Whether it was for personal grudges or family interests, Mr. Feng probably hated the Sheng family to death except for his daughter, son-in-law, grandson and granddaughter. Although he was an outsider, he still gave the Sheng family the treatment they received.
The purpose was not out of kindness or virtue, but to shut the mouth of Sheng Lanci, the eldest son of the first wife who was doted on by Mrs. Sheng.
He had no reason or confidence to support the Sheng family who stayed in Nanfeng County.
Thinking more deeply, Sheng Lanci even left these family members in the care of the Feng family and Xuan Yu family with peace of mind, and devoted himself to serving his wife and children in Chang'an... With such a father-in-law, he might not need to think about it at all. Get up, these people from the Nanfeng Sheng family.
Because he knew that Mr. Feng would take great care to ensure that the Sheng family would not disturb him in any way.
Old Master Sheng, who spent half his life in the military, would never be able to learn such a gentle sword in eight lifetimes.
However, Mrs. Feng's sword is not always gentle.
Mr. Sheng once solemnly warned his descendants not to think that Mr. Feng's attitude could rashly provoke these two families.
The old head of the Feng family, who was good at finding the moral peak before conflicts, could kill the entire Sheng family and make everyone including Sheng Lanci applaud him if he was willing to use any means.
What's more, even if Mr. Feng didn't have this ability, the sacrifices he and Xuan Yu Feng had made for Emperor Zhenqing and his wife, and the care they took for Prince Rong Juan, were enough to keep Emperor Zhenqing and his wife silent even if they knew the truth.
Even Sheng Lanci, I'm afraid she can't make up her mind to break up with him... In terms of being a good person and being well-rounded, none of the Sheng family, not even Sheng Lanci, can be a match for this person.
So we can only obey and cannot disobey.
"But the third sister can give embroidery to the second sister." Because Sheng Weiwu is the youngest girl among her peers... It seemed that the second bedroom had a cousin who was younger than her, but soon she disappeared. She is second only to Sheng Weiqiao in terms of favor at home, and is more popular than her third cousin Sheng Weirao.
Although Sheng Weiqiao was deeply loved, his temper was not unruly, and he was very tolerant of his cousin who was always clinging to him.
As a result, Sheng Weiwu still has a trace of arrogance in her temper. Now she is stamping her feet, with tears in her eyes, "I can never give away the things I made for my second sister!"
"The relationship between your third sister and your second sister is not as deep as that between you and your second sister?" Mrs. Xiao smiled bitterly. When Sheng Weirao knew that Sheng Weirao had sent something to Sheng Weiqiao, she was very happy and stayed up several nights to make a lot of things. , asked Sheng Weirao to help send it there.
At that time, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao were also very happy, thinking that they could regain their relationship with Dafang.
Who would have thought that a few days later, Sheng Weirao's embroidery items entered the palace and a copy of the queen's reward was passed down, but Sheng Weiwu's items were returned intact.
This incident embarrassed the Sanfang family, but they also fully understood that Dafang, no, the Xuanyu family and the Feng family would not give the Nanfeng Sheng family any chance to rise.
... Even though the Xiao family never thought that they could shoulder the important task of rising up the family, they just instinctively wanted to get closer to the big family.
At this moment, she could only coax her daughter slowly, "Your second sister has always treated you as her biological sister. In contrast, she feels mostly guilty towards your third sister. In terms of sisterly friendship, it is better than yours." It's far from enough... Don't forget that your third sister was not very close to your second sister even before the accident because of your missing second aunt. How could they be as close as you were when you got along day and night?"
"And after something like that happened to her, she lost her fiancé and was somewhat estranged from her family, especially not close to your second uncle!"
"Your uncle and aunt have some sympathy for her. Even the Xuan Yu family of the Feng family has some sympathy... Otherwise, who was not good for Mrs. Xuan Yu's family to support before? Do you want to support her?"
"So she gives things to your second sister in exchange for your second sister's attention and protection. Can she still be tolerated... You..."
What Xiao didn't have the heart to say next was that Sheng Weirao had gone through ups and downs, and because of his second wife, he was more judgmental. He always controlled the bottom line of Sheng Lanci, his wife, and Feng Jiaxuan's family, and never crossed it.
Only in this way did the Sheng family get some meager care.
However, Sheng Weiwu was different. She sincerely relied on and admired Sheng Weiqiao, her cousin.
It would be fine if Sheng Weiqiao was hard-hearted.
But this queen was not, and she was very fond of and protective of her little cousin.
If Sheng Weiwu was taught to give her something, and saw the sincerity of this cousin, Sheng Weiqiao might not be able to hold on for long before he couldn't help but summon her and resume the frequent meetings between the two sisters.
Until then... If Sheng Weiwu makes any request, will Sheng Weiqiao be willing to refuse
With Queen Sheng's current status, her casual words are enough for the Sheng family to dominate Nanfeng County.
This is a risk that the Feng family and the Xuan Yu family will never take.
Therefore, Sheng Weirao, who sent things to the queen with the mentality of seeking protection, could make an exception. Sheng Weiwu, who simply missed the queen, was even more deeply and vigilantly alienated.
Mrs. Xiao was afraid that her daughter would not know the importance of the matter, so she looked around and whispered: "Did you know that when the old man of the Feng family was negotiating with your grandfather earlier, he even asked that you and your third sister be married off to a place farther south than ours? Go to a more remote place in Feng County, and I will never disturb your second sister again in this life... Your grandfather argued with him, and finally pointed out that your second sister always loves you. If she knew that you were not doing well, she would be uneasy. This Only then did Mr. Feng relax!"
"Now you are still making trouble and want to see your second sister... Are you really afraid that you will become a thorn in the side of the Feng family?!"
Seeing her daughter standing there, unable to shed tears, she seemed stunned.
She couldn't bear it and pursed her lips, "So your father and I will marry you in a neighboring county... There is no conflict of interest between your husband's family and the Feng family. If you marry her and have a child, you will be someone else's family." The Feng family and the Xuan Yu family will not think that you will continue to seek benefits for your parents' family, and maybe they will give you a chance to meet your second sister!"
Having said that, a few days later, Sheng Weiwu went to get something from Sheng Weirao, but she still felt aggrieved when she mentioned it: "Although the second sister loves me, doesn't she also value the Feng family's announcement? Even if I am ignorant and speak for the Sheng family in front of the second sister, ... The second sister may not be willing to wrong the Feng family for my own sake, right? Besides, how could I do such a thing to embarrass the second sister!"
Sheng Weirao was in charge of the Sheng family at this time and was very busy.
But it was probably because I hadn't chatted with my sisters for a long time. When I saw my cousin coming over, I took the time to sit with her for a while.
He laughed after hearing this: "Your idea... it was the second sister who came up with it."
Sheng Weiwu felt that the tone was teasing and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
