... I don't know how long it took, but Sheng Weiqiao woke up from a sound sleep and found that he was no longer in the armchair, but lying on the sofa under the north window of the study, fully clothed, with a thin quilt covering him.
Through the rosewood and mica-engraved landscape screen, one can see a figure sitting in front of the table among the shadows outside the screen. Although he cannot be seen because his back is to the screen, the faint sound of books being turned can be seen. Sheng Suihe was probably still reviewing his homework at the moment.
She was at a loss for a while, then she sat up and looked at the copper leak in the corner.
—It’s already application time.
Sheng Weiqiao had just graduated from high school when she came here before. So, she actually slept here for most of the day
This made her feel very annoyed - it wasn't that she felt embarrassed, it was mainly because she had a purpose for coming here in the morning, but it was not to directly trouble Sheng Suihe like before.
But to urge him to study hard!
Of course, Sheng Weiqiao did this not because she felt that she could not do without the power and support of her mother's family after leaving the cabinet, so she was eager to see her brother succeed. She mainly thought that no matter how strong Sheng Suihe was, he was still a human being, and he must rest.
In the past few days, because he took him to the cemetery to practice courage every night, Sheng Weiqiao and Gongsun Yingjiang had to get up very late.
Then Sheng Sleeping Crane himself, even though he is older and more able to survive, he must rest during the day, right
In this case, Sheng Weiqiao couldn't sleep anyway, so he simply ran over and planned to watch him personally and not allow him to sleep!
Not only were they not allowed to sleep, but they also had to study hard and mentally!
In this case, I don’t believe that he still has the energy to torment himself and Gongsun Yingjiang at night!
Sheng Weiqiao felt that her idea was so good that she had deliberately suppressed her temper and not quarreled with Sheng Sleeping Crane just now - she was afraid that if she quarreled with Sheng Sleeping Crane, she would be driven away in anger again...
But what Sheng Wei Qiao Wan didn't expect was that he was so unsatisfied that he had to stare at the sleeping crane for how long? He actually fell asleep!
Although it seems that Sheng Suihe is still reviewing his homework, in the past few hours, who knows if he went back to his room to take a nap to recharge his batteries, and just wait until he feels refreshed at night to continue holding the two girls hostage. Heading to the cemetery? !
"This is just the first time, and it's also because I didn't sleep at all last night!" Sheng Weiqiao was annoyed for a while and comforted himself, "Next time I have experience, I will never be like this!"
She calmed down, straightened her clothes, and then walked out of the screen. Although Sheng Suihe didn't look back, he noticed it and immediately said with a smile: "My dear girl, have you slept well?"
Sheng Weiqiao had a straight face and did not answer the words. He just walked to sit on the armchair just now. Fang glanced at him sideways: "You just now go to take a rest? You must know that learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat! Originally, you were wasting away outside. After so many years, the exam period is not far away now, so we should work harder, but we can’t be lazy just because we are greedy for enjoyment!”
"My dear girl, are you determined to urge brother Wei to make progress?" Sheng Suihe looked at her intently and said softly, "Don't worry, my dear girl, how can brother Wei be willing to let my dear girl down?"
For some reason, Sheng Weiqiao always felt that his expression, especially his eyes, were very subtle when they fell on her face...
She touched her face suspiciously, and found that it was as clean as ever, and there seemed to be no problem, so she didn't take it to heart, and just snorted: "Then why are you looking at me?! Why don't you hurry up and read a book!"
Sheng Suihe said in a particularly gentle tone: "This is because Brother Wei feels particularly touched - my good girl has finally grown up and knows how to care about my brother!"
Having said this, he glanced deeply at Sheng Weiqiao again before turning his gaze back to the book. At the same time, the corners of his mouth curved again and again, obviously in a very good mood.
Sheng Weiqiao looked at him inexplicably for a while. Seeing that he seemed to be immersed in the book, he stopped paying attention. He looked around for a moment indifferently. When he saw a few books on the shelf not far away, he got up and walked over to look through them. , not long after, I took my favorite book and sat back down, reading it with gusto.
Of course, while she was reading, she did not forget to supervise Sheng Suihe from time to time.
She's here to consume the enemy's troops!
But because the romance novel in his hand was so beautifully written, it didn't take long before Sheng Weiqiao gradually forgot about his mission and concentrated on reading the book!
So after a while, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of her and took the book away. Sheng Weiqiao instinctively wanted to get angry. Only when she saw Sheng Suihe's smiling face did she suddenly realize that she had put the cart before the horse. She couldn't help but feel ashamed and confused. Angry and depressed, he said angrily: "What are you doing with my book?! Where are your own books? Don't you read them?"
"I won't read anymore." Sheng Suihe pointed out the window, "It's already dusk, and reading at this time hurts your eyes the most. My dear, let's read it again tomorrow!"
Sheng Weiqiao glanced at the sunset outside the window and realized that it was already evening. He couldn't help but subconsciously stood up and planned to go back.
But just standing up, Sheng Weiqiao suddenly thought: "It's only the beginning of Youchu! He used to go to me and Ying Jiang in the beginning of Haichu, and set off for the cemetery outside the city - if I leave now, even if he didn't rest during the day, this He will run to settle things, and it will take nearly three hours at Haishi, which is enough for him to recover! How can this be done? "
So she immediately sat back and announced: "I plan to stay and have dinner with you today. Do you have any objection?"
Sheng Weiqiao was already ready for war when she said this - after all, given the bad relationship between their siblings, it was normal for Sheng Suihe to reject her.
But when Sheng Suihe heard this, he immediately agreed with a smile: "If you don't tell me, my dear, I have to leave food for my brother. After all, it's so late, so you always have to say polite words!"
Without waiting for Sheng Weiqiao to answer, he continued meaningfully, "Don't worry, my dear, Brother Wei loves cleanliness the most! Even though the small kitchen here is not as fancy as my little kitchen, it is absolutely clean and tidy. Qi, no one will spit in the food and mix it with sand and put cockroach chin beans in it!"
Sheng Weiqiao: "..."
She calmed down and sneered, "You think I can't tell you are threatening me?!"
Sheng Suihe said gently: "Good girl, how could this happen? Didn't Brother Wei say this because he wanted to ensure that Good Girl can eat with peace of mind? If Good Girl really can't believe Brother Wei, after the food is served later, Brother Wei first How does it taste?"
Before last night, Sheng Weiqiao could still feel relieved after seeing the food that Sheng Suihe had tasted with his own eyes.
But after seeing the sleeping crane eating the snake meat he had licked without hesitation last night, Sheng Weiqiao now had no hope at all for his "love of cleanliness" and even vaguely felt that he had tasted it himself. Maybe the food is the problem...
So after struggling for a long time, she decided to let Lu Jin go back to Zhu Ying Xiaozhu to get the saving box and bring dinner from her small kitchen to Xiezhuxuan!
Because there were only two brothers and sisters in the study, Sheng Weiqiao had to get up by himself and planned to go out to call Lu Jin.
But just as she moved forward, Sheng Suihe raised his eyebrows and asked, "Good girl, where are you going?"
"What does it have to do with you!?" Sheng Weiqiao said angrily, "Why, are you scared to be alone in the house and are you frightened when you see me leaving?"
The latter words were obviously sarcastic, but Sheng Suihe nodded seriously: "My good girl, if you have anything to do, just tell me, why bother to do the work yourself? At this moment, the setting sun in the sky was like blood, illuminating the entire court. It's red, Brother Wei is really a little nervous to be here alone! Just be a good girl and stay, or let Brother Wei run errands for you?"
Sheng Weiqiao sneered when he heard this and said: "The sun has not completely set yet. Are you so scared, but you are not scared at the cemetery at night? Just tell me what you have in mind!"
Sheng Suihe was about to answer when a deliberately heavy footsteps came from the corridor outside. Soon he arrived at the door of the study. After two gentle knocks, Gongsun Xi's voice came: "Sir, the master and his wife are here!"
"Dad and mom are here?" Sheng Weiqiao was slightly surprised. She knew that Sheng Lanci would take time out to give lectures at Xiezhuxuan every day during this period, but why did Feng come too? Is it because of being here
In fact, this is exactly what happened - Sheng Lanci and his wife received a report in the morning, saying that their daughter was suspected of forcing a smile, but in fact she was seriously injured. She didn't sleep all night, and even went to Xiezhuxuan to continue using Sheng Suihe as a punching bag. Feng's After hearing this report, she originally planned to come over immediately, but Sheng Lanci didn't go out for the past two days because she was worried about her daughter. After hearing the news, she stopped her: "My dear girl is not an unreasonable person. If she really does it for the Xu family, No matter how angry you are about the kid, you won’t go to fight with Sleeping Crane. Maybe it’s about something else? Let’s rush there now. If we misunderstand my dear girl, won’t it hurt the kid’s heart even more? Wait a little longer and see. What is she going to do at Xiezhuxuan?"
This time, everything was calm. The brother and sister were talking alone in the study and never came out, but they didn't hear any noise.
So Xiquan guessed: "Could it be that our young lady is feeling unhappy and is afraid that telling the master and his wife will make you two sad, so she goes to the young master to talk to her?"
The couple also felt that it was very possible. For a while, they were pleased with their daughter's thoughtfulness and filial piety, but also felt sorry for their daughter's experience. They both lamented: "It can be seen that the child still needs a companion, even if the good girl usually does not have a good relationship with Sleeping Crane, After all, brothers are different. Now that you have something on your mind, don’t you still have to talk to Sleeping Crane?”
Feeling that there is hope for brother-sister harmony, Sheng Lanci and his wife decided to come to Xiezhuxuan tonight to have dinner as a family of four to enhance their relationship with each other.
But at this time, the couple walked through the door with smiles on their faces. When they saw the neatly dressed and slightly surprised Sheng Weiqiao, they both looked surprised: "Good girl?!"
Sheng Weiqiao saw his parents' expressions of astonishment and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"On your face..." Feng said subconsciously, but was immediately interrupted by Sheng Lanci: "Seeing my dear girl looking so good, my parents are relieved! My parents are free today, and they just happen to be with you brothers and sisters. Let’s have dinner, it’s getting late, Xiquan, please help my dear girl freshen up, then let’s go to the flower hall to have dinner, right?”
Although Sheng Lanci came to the rescue in time, Sheng Weiqiao was already suspicious and looked at Xiquan: "Can aunt find me a bronze mirror?"
Xiquan subconsciously looked at Sheng Lanci and his wife - okay, this is more proof that there is a problem!
Seeing the clear anger in Sheng Weiqiao's eyes, Sheng Lanci did not dare to prevaricate anymore, so she could only let Xiquan go out and get a small bronze mirror for her. Seeing this, Sheng Weiqiao angrily took the bronze mirror and fell asleep towards Sheng Crane smashed it over: "You bastard!!!"
- Turning over the bronze mirror that drew an arc in the air, her face was clearly reflected: Because she had just had a deep sleep, her face was flushed with six symmetrical cat whiskers, and a neat stroke was written on her forehead. The dignified official script character "王"!
Judging from the color of the ink, it seems that the cat's whiskers were drawn first. After a while, Sheng Suihe probably felt itchy again, so he wrote the word "王" for her... matched with the girl's silky and smooth hair. The double-snail bun looks just like a kitten, oh no, it’s a little tiger...
She asked why the sleeping crane was looking at her intently just now!
Thinking of this, just throwing a bronze mirror couldn't vent his anger at all. Sheng Weiqiao was so angry that he forgot about his mission today. He didn't even have time to roll up his sleeves, so he rushed forward to fight Sheng Sleeping Crane!
When Sheng Lanci and his wife saw this, they hurriedly tried to break up the fight, but their daughter couldn't listen to her outburst of anger. The son, who was so powerful, jumped three times and twice in a blink of an eye and climbed onto the roof beam. He looked at his father, mother and sister below with a smile on his sleeves as they jumped to their feet. The face of "come up if you have the ability" - in just a short moment, it was like a commotion in the not-so-small study room, but God seemed to think it was not enough, so he added another one!
The chief steward Sheng Fu, who had a complex expression on his face, came over personally to report: "Master, madam, second lady, young master: Prince Xu is here, and he is holding a thorn at the door to apologize!"
