Conscience of heaven and earth, the old lady asked, did she simply care about the guests, or did she consider the friendship between the Xu Sheng family
However, those words offended Mr. Sheng for some reason - the old man was spreading his legs and arms to let Mrs. Ming tie his clothes. Hearing this, his face suddenly sank and he hummed: "I am a woman, why do you ask so many questions?" ?!”
"Aren't you afraid of neglecting the child?" Mrs. Ming felt aggrieved. She was a head shorter than her original wife because she had not married. Especially the fact that her first wife died because she would not provide heirs to the Sheng family, which made Mrs. Sheng extremely guilty. Sheng Lanci sent all the four children she gave birth to away by herself. She felt that she had no confidence, otherwise she would never dare to disobey Mr. Sheng. .
But although Mr. Sheng usually respected her more than he did his original wife when he wronged her, he never said that he deliberately embarrassed her.
Counting the time Xu Baomo helped save the siege at the door tomorrow, was this the second time that she had choked her - had she provoked someone
But he didn't know that Mrs. Sheng turned around in anger, but he used the skill of tying his belt to hide the guilty look on his face, pretending to be majestic and said: "Anyway, I don't think he is too affectionate!" I am holding a junior like an ancestor, so where do I put the faces of the Sheng family?"
"If Ming Xu Baoting is here, have we been friends for many years? Prince Xu, to give his grandfather face, came to our house and knelt down one by one!" When Mrs. Ming saw this, she didn't dare to ask anymore, so she sneered, "When our generation is gone and the door lintel is left there, who in our family would dare to treat the noble prince as a true junior?"
The old couple's conversation was not very harmonious, and the conversation between the father and daughter in the Sheng family's big house was also very unsmooth -
Sheng Lanci said sadly: "My dear, my grandfather has come back, and it will be his birthday in three days! But my mother is very much at the Feng family! I said that when the birthday party comes, people will ask, how embarrassing will it be? So, be my dear. Go ahead, let’s go to Feng’s house with dad tomorrow, and be sure to bring my mother back, okay?”
"He's not going!" Sheng Weiqiao sneered, "You made me angry back then, and it's not like he made me angry! I beg you to pick me up. What does it have to do with him?!"
"My grandfather loves me the most!" Sheng Lanci coaxed without giving up, "I think if his eldest daughter-in-law is absent at his birthday party and my grandfather keeps silent, how can I not be disappointed or sad in my heart? Can you bear to see my grandfather getting so old and feeling sad and disappointed?"
Sheng Weiqiao raised Dongba's head and continued to sneer: "Then how can you blame his mother? Then you have to choose that confinement to bring him back? It's not fun to say that you have spoiled my grandfather's interest - you go there yourself Tell your grandfather, don't rely on them!"
That daughter can’t be coaxed!
Sheng Lanci swallowed blood silently and left Zhu Ying Xiaozhu listlessly.
"..." Looking at his father's lost back, Sheng Weiqiao softened his heart for a moment. Just as he was begging Han Zhen to help him, he thought of Sheng Suihe and his own mother who might be dejected in Feng Mansion at the moment. She moved her lips, turned her head away, and said nothing. Didn't say.
Even so, she came to Donglai in a depressed mood and stayed in Zhu Ying's small house for two months without going anywhere. Mrs. Sheng was born in the army, had a cheerful temperament and was most impatient with red tape, so in the Sheng family, except for New Year's Day, everything was Not asking for a favor.
One month before the old man's birthday, Sheng Lanci still couldn't bring Feng back.
Sheng Weiqiao's mood became worse and worse, and he was thinking about whether to vent his anger on Sheng Suihe, when Shen Jiuniang came to the door shaking her golden silk and said, "Hey, where is the little fairy?"
"Xiao Qiao, am I here?" Sheng Weiqiao glanced at her lazily and asked curiously, "Why do I dress so solemnly tomorrow?"
Shen Jiuniang was wearing a red bottom embroidered with green calyx plum blossoms, wide sleeves, a phoenix tail skirt, and a colorful palace ribbon with pearls around her waist. Holding a piece of emerald pearl in her hand, she stepped forward and swung her hairpin with begonia pearl flowers and emerald mother-of-pearl. It can be said that it is surrounded by green pearls.
It was the first time for Sheng Weiqiao to see his cousin who was always impatient to dress up so well-especially the gourd pendant from Erdong Yitiao. It was made of the Yahu gemstone from the distant Qin Dynasty, and it was the most famous "Zhaodianhong" in Hongyahu. , as bright as blood, making her already red and delicate skin extra bright and flawless.
Sheng Weiqiao recognized that the wrong pendant was the stuff in the box given to her by the Sheng family when her aunt Sheng Lanxin left the court. Sheng Lanxin liked it so much that she would only wear it on urgent occasions like Mrs. Sheng's birthday, so it was not surprising that she brought it with her that time, but why did Shen Jiuniang use it
She couldn't help but ask.
When Shen Jiuniang heard this, her face immediately turned red. She huffed for a moment, then she pushed her angrily and said angrily, "It's as if I didn't steal my mother's makeup!"
"He really hasn't stolen anything!" Sheng Weiqiao said innocently, "His mother wouldn't let him just take it!"
Is that true? Feng was born into a wealthy family. She has been accustomed to being in trouble since she was a child. She has never cared about common things like pearls and jade. She doesn't care whether her daughter borrows them or takes them away.
Of course, if Sheng Weiqiao dared to touch those famous calligraphy and ancient paintings that she had painstakingly collected, Feng would roll up her sleeves and help her remember...
Shen Jiuniang also knew this and gave her a red look: "Then he just took a pair of earrings from his mother - don't tell anyone!"
The last sentence revealed a bit of shortness of breath. Although Sheng Lanxin had a good relationship with Feng's sister-in-law, they were not the same as good ones. Sheng Lan wondered whether the earrings were so precious that the little maid couldn't even touch them. Even if she was not her biological daughter, if she dared to take her away without telling her, Sheng Lanxin would definitely want to punish her.
"Then what benefit can I give him?" Sheng Weiqiao naturally had no intention of complaining to his aunt. After hearing this, he joked casually, "If there is no benefit in begging, then he can ask to remind Aunt Dong! After all, my aunt always loves him!"
"Having no conscience!" Shen Jiuniang hit her on the head with a silk fan and said dissatisfied, "Doesn't his cousin treat me badly? I've called him 'Xiao Qiao' for so many years and he never cared about me - change I'll give it a try as my cousin! You've already pinched me, I'm not young at all!"
Bu Nao said, "Don't I really like my cousin Sleeping Crane who just came back? Could you please accompany me to see if I can cause him some trouble?"
Sheng Weiqiao clapped his legs and said, "He was thinking about that before I came!"
"But he is with Prince Xu now. I don't have a good idea. Why don't we go and act rashly?" Shen Jiuniang tried her best to sound normal, but a red cloud could not help but appear on the back of her neck. She went to get a fan to partially cover her face. Zhuiqi admired the appearance of the fan and whispered, "Lest... lest I leave a bad impression on Prince Xu and bring shame on the Sheng family!"
"Is he with Prince Xu?" Sheng Weiqiao didn't know much about the city, so he didn't realize that his cousin was not interested in drinking. Hearing this, his attention was still on Sheng Suihe, and he asked doubtfully, "How could it be?"
"I think Prince Xu is such a well-educated person. Even if he knew whether he was a foreigner, he would not embarrass him in person." Shen Jiuniang was afraid that she would not go. She would be embarrassed to strike up a conversation by herself. He said, "I'm just afraid that he will use that opportunity to confuse the prince, such as saying bad things about my eldest aunt and me..."
"How dare he!" Sheng Weiqiao was furious, stood up and said, "Let's go over there!"
