The fact that they fell into the water by mistake was certainly thrilling for the two brothers, and it was a real life-and-death situation, but because neither of them told anyone else behind the boat - Sheng Suihe was so angry that he didn't want to shut up; Sheng Weiqiao was full of hope. He kindly thought, "Although I would let Sheng Suihe brag, but for the sake of brother-sister relationship, he would not deny or seek to expose him so as not to cause trouble," and didn't say much.
So everyone didn't take it to heart.
As for Sheng Weiqiao's two maids, Lu Jin and Lu Qi, they got up and took a look worriedly. They saw that after she drank the ginger soup, bathed and changed clothes, she was full of energy, her face was rosy, and she was full of energy. The maid wanted to express her concern. I couldn't help but feel that my legs were healthy, so I just lay back and waited on the island with peace of mind.
Even so, when they arrived at Hawksbill Island, Sheng Sleeping He exchanged a few words with Gongsun Su, who came to the pier to greet him. After they walked to the house and sat down together, he pulled Sheng Weiqiao over and asked the doctor on the island to check her pulse: "Girl My body is naturally fragile, so don't be cold and not realize it."
Fortunately, the doctor checked her pulse and said, "Miss Sheng is fine and there is no cold inside her body."
Ever since he was on the island, he had never left Sheng Weiqiao's side, fearing that he would drag Sun Su over to investigate the gallbladder training session in the cemetery. When Gongsun Yingjiang saw this, he hurriedly said: "Then he takes his aunt east to rest? No. Do you want to go to where he lives?"
Gongsun Su saw his daughter's thoughts and frowned immediately. He was about to scold him when he saw Sheng Suihe touching Sheng Weiqiao's head and said with a smile: "We can go and arrange the east cage. Brother, he has something to ask me for help." Discuss!”
After thinking for a few times, Gongsun Su glared at Gongsun Yingjiang and said, "In that case, let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Yingdun, who had been silent next to him, suddenly said: "My sister hasn't been back for two years. I don't even know about the changes in the path of the island. How about he send my sister and aunt to a resettlement place?"
After he said those words, both Gongsun Su and Sheng Suihe frowned. It was not that they did not want to send someone to guide the two girls, but Gongsun Yingdun was already fourteen years old and was officially established as Shaohai last year. Lord, regardless of age or status, he is no longer a child - Gongsun Su is the lord of Tortoiseshell Island; even if Sheng Sleeping Crane recognizes his ancestor and returns to the clan, he is no longer a member of the Gongsun family by name, but the Sheng family and Gongsun The long-term relationship between the two families has destined that Sheng Sleeping Crane still has a considerable say in the issues on Hawksbill Island.
The two elders begged to shut up like that. Gongsun Yingdun didn't want to follow the example of serving tea and pouring water. At least he had the impression of being filial. Instead, he wanted to follow the two irrelevant female relatives. Gongsun Su followed. How can Sheng Sleeping Crane be happy
After all, although Gongsun Yingjiang is Gongsun Su's biological daughter, his living conditions on the island are better and he has no power at all; Sheng Weiqiao is Sheng Lanci's heart and soul, so he cannot take care of the Sheng family's most important affairs. If you are not confused, you will definitely not wading into troubled waters without Sheng Lanci's instructions - especially if she is not familiar with Gongsun Yingdun at all!
Even if Gongsun Yingdun starts to please her now, the relationship between the two unrelated aunts and nephews, who have only lived together for a short time, is so deep that Sheng Weiqiao can embarrass his biological father who is filial piety
Gongsun Yingdun's move, at a small level, does not distinguish between priorities and lacks vision; at a large level, it does not reflect the magnanimity and vision that Shao Haizhu should have, and is not suitable to inherit the Gongsun family!
"Knowing that our brother and sister have a good relationship, Bu Nao Ying Jiang won't leave right away when he comes back to the island. Otherwise, he plans to stay there for a few months." Seeing Gongsun Suqi's livid face, Sheng Suihe narrowed his eyes. Yuanchang said, "So I don't have to rush to the East to shut up. Anyway, starting from tomorrow, there will be time for our siblings to shut up - uncle, it's been a long time since I've been tested on my homework in school, so I'll stay here for now." , wait until he finishes talking to my father about the business, see if I have been lazy in the past two years?"
After hearing that, Gongsun Yingdun looked a little complicated and did not answer immediately.
"Things that can't be put on the table!" Gongsun Su was already angry, and when he saw this, he immediately started shouting, "If you don't want to stay here, get out! If you really think that I am the only older male heir in the world, then Young Master This position must be mine?!"
Those words were serious - Sheng Weiqiao and Gongsun Yingjiang, who had not had time to leave, both changed their faces when they heard this. Sheng Suihe winked at them, suggesting that they should avoid it first, and stopped Gongsun Su who had already started to roll up his sleeves: "Brother Please calm down, Ying Dun and Ying Jiang grew up together, and after seeing each other for a long time, it is inevitable that they can’t wait to say goodbye... "
Sheng Weiqiao and Gongsun Yingjiang took the opportunity to tiptoe out of the door. After walking for a while, they looked around and saw that there was no one around. Sheng Weiqiao was muttering in her heart why Gongsun Yingdun was so indifferent. On such an occasion, it would be okay to miss her sister again. Isn't he so stubborn that Sheng Suihe refused to use the stairs to the east stage after repeatedly trying to mediate him
But Gongsun Yingjiang said suspiciously: "Isn't it strange? Now that my uncle has officially recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, is it possible that he will return to the sea to be the master of the sea in the future? Did Ying Dun listen to someone's instigation and actually become suspicious of his uncle? coming?"
"Suspicion?" Sheng Weiqiao was startled and asked, "Did I say that Ying Dun just insisted on sending us away instead of staying there to listen to his father and uncle shut up, because I was suspicious of his little uncle? Why?"
"He and Ying Dun have different mothers. When their biological mother was alive, their relationship had never been very good!" Gongsun Yingjiang frowned and said, "Later, their biological mother was gone, and only the remaining brothers and sisters were The two of them moved around a little more frequently at that time - but that was it. Could it be that the relationship between Aunt Bi and Aunt Wu was far worse! Even if he had only come back from the island the year before last, Ying Dun would miss him without knowing what he was thinking. Are you sure? 100% of them are using us as a cover to deliberately embarrass my little uncle! My uncle is wrong that all the siblings have saved their lives. Even if they were tortured a lot in the past years, they still don’t hold grudges for those things until now. So he thought, maybe someone was instigating it, teaching Yingdun to worry that after his uncle returned to the Sheng family, he would still have a close relationship with his father, which would be detrimental to his young master, so he deliberately showed off his face like that? "
Sheng Weiqiao thought that was too ridiculous: "The reason why we came to the island that time was because our uncle was about to go to Chang'an - the trip was a long way away. There was no question when he would return to the Sheng family, let alone come to the island. He is competing with Ying Dun for the position of Sea Lord!"
She remembered that when she came to Tortoiseshell Island for the first time, although Gongsun Yingdun was still young, he looked so high-spirited that he really didn't look like a fool. Why, now that he was two years older, not only did he not gain experience, but he became more and more alive
Let’s not talk about Sheng Suihe, as Sheng Lanci’s only male heir and the future heir of the Sheng family. Why should Sheng Suihe leave the wealth of the Wanguan family and become a wealthy man instead of willingly sinking back to the sea to make a living? Sleeping Crane now has a bright future as a new member of the Xie Yuan Dynasty - although Da Mu Ruming has Ruru in the north and pirates in the south, and the court is also not peaceful due to the power struggle between his relatives and the clan, he can't be considered to have peace of mind, but that's not the case at all. The source of Qi has not yet been exhausted.
Under such circumstances, who would care less about being a precarious pirate leader than wholeheartedly pursuing the glorious path of the imperial examination? !
-To put it bluntly, if you were a heartless person, let alone compete with Gongsun Yingdun for the position of sea master, it would be great if you tried every means to massacre Tortoiseshell Island to cover up the stain of being a pirate!
So Sheng Weiqiao pondered for a moment and said, "He thinks that the matter may have something to do with the position of Lord of the Sea. Don't Ying Dun really miss me? After all, even if we were not very close before, we are just like our little uncles." As I said just now, did we grow up together? Maybe after not seeing each other for so long, Ying Dun suddenly wants to tell my private partner to shut up?"
Gongsun Yingjiang was not sure when he heard this. He hesitated for a while and then said: "Even so, is he too stupid? Although he is the only brother left in their past, whether he is alive or not will not threaten his status. But dad is so young. , will there be fewer heirs in the future? Although my father has never been harsh on the children, he has never doted on or protected any of them like my aunt and uncle did. Back then, was their eldest brother the perfect match for his eldest son? Is it true that he started from the bottom, performed well time and time again, and was unanimously recognized by a group of old people, and his aunt's mother-in-law helped to make the situation possible, so he became the Young Master! Ying Dun disappointed his father by asking for truth, Dong The scene must be very miserable - Daddy will never tolerate the existence of hidden dangers!"
The implication is that if Gongsun Yingdun loses his position as Shaohai Lord, the best outcome will be that he will be imprisoned or even executed, so as to prevent him from using Gongsun Su's status as the eldest son to plot against Buju later.
Sheng Weiqiao was used to being pampered by his biological father, and felt that Gongsun Su could not understand a kind of biological father. Then he thought about how his second uncle Sheng Lansicuo's eldest son Sheng Weide was not much better, so he felt relieved and said: " If I have time, I'll advise him. People who want to inherit the family business are different from people like us who sit around doing nothing all day long. They can't be willful."
While they were shutting up, they had already arrived at Gongsun Yingjiang's yard, which had naturally been cleaned long ago. The flowers and plants outside the walls all had signs of being newly pruned, and many flowers in bloom had been moved to add to the scenery.
After entering, I saw that the courtyard with the green brick floor had been swept clean, the red pillars and railings were all newly painted, and several strings of wind chimes were hung on the east side of the corridor, swaying in the wind, tinkling melodiously.
A woman wearing an onion-green narrow-sleeved short-sleeved jacket, a goose-yellow half-sleeve embroidered with fleur-de-lis, and an eastern phoenix skirt seemed to hear the noise and walked out of the main room while holding on to the maid's legs.
Seeing the two aunts and nephews, they immediately greeted the east court steps with a smile, and said attentively: "Can the eldest lady meet Miss Sheng face to face? My maiden name is Yan, and I have a small name of Nunu. I am the master of Menghai. I am temporarily in charge of some chores. That place is in front of It's been packed up in two months. I'm just waiting for you two to take a look at it in person. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, I'll let them change it!"
Sheng Weiqiao looked at her for a few times and saw that the woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a red oval face, slender eyebrows and handsome eyes, a snake bun, a jade pendant, and an emerald pendant beside her ear. Priceless, obviously no ordinary servant girl.
The most important thing is that she was obviously full of energy, but she was so strenuously supporting the maid as she walked from the house to the courtyard. It was for no reason: when the woman shut up and walked, she would intentionally or unintentionally hold her legs and arms. Protecting the lower abdomen - knowing that 100% of them are Gongsun Su's concubines, and most of them are pregnant concubines.
"Excuse me, everything is fine there." Sheng Weiqiao glanced at Gongsun Yingjiang secretly, and saw that she had obviously noticed it, her face was a little unnatural, so she said half-heartedly and half-dismissed, "There is nothing to change. , I’ll just ask their hosts to put the luggage they brought with them later.”
Yan Nunu was very discerning, and resigned knowingly after hearing this: "I thought that the two of you would be tired all the way, so I got up early and asked them to stew the Yefu Pheasant Chicken and Hazel Mushroom Soup in the small kitchen. The heat was just right at that time. The two of them thought it was a good time. If you don’t dislike it, can you use some to relieve your fatigue later?”
Sheng Weiqiao thanked her lightly, and after she left, he ordered Lu Jin and others to put things away, and he took Gongsun Yingjiang into the main room and sat down.
As soon as they left the east, Gongsun Yingjiang sighed and said: "I just said that if Ying Dun is not smarter, even if he has the advantage of being older, sooner or later he will not be able to win! Unexpectedly, there are already people around dad - Look at Aunt Yan's appearance, she is exactly the type that Dad likes best. If she gives birth to a son, if the wind blows from her pillow, Ying Dun will probably not have a good confinement!"
"I just said that my relationship with Ying Dun is like that, now are we worried about him?" Sheng Weiqiao teased her, then comforted her, "Then Mrs. Yan didn't even show her pregnancy, even if she really was pregnant with a boy. , I have wanted to be the Young Master of the Sea, and I have been asking for it for several years. I turned around and tried to persuade Ying Dun, he is starting to understand now, why is it too late?"
After thinking for a while, he said, "Moreover, he saw that Lord Gongsun Hai valued our little uncle very much. After our little uncle returned that time, he wanted to travel far away. He was afraid that he would not have the chance to come to Tortoiseshell Island again in the future. The children of the Yan family, Most likely we won't be able to see his face at all, so we won't be able to have much affection - but our siblings have been with him for many years. How could our little uncle not care about our siblings? In front of the Sea Lord just now, didn't he always stand for us? Are we two trying to reconcile things?"
"But Yingdun doesn't know why he's so crazy. My uncle's good intentions are so obvious that he doesn't even know how to borrow Po Dong's donkey!" Gongsun Yingjiang frowned and said, suddenly thinking of something, he turned his head, his expression He looked at Sheng Weiqiao strangely:
Sheng Weiqiao, who was born in March, has officially had her haircut. Her usual hair style has been changed from a girlish double snail to a more girlish bun with clouds, between which there is a ruby beaded flower. The beauty is so vivid that it makes her hair look like ink and her skin is as radiant as snow.
Her eyebrows have grown a lot, and they are becoming more and more delicate: Cui Dai is as curved as a crescent moon; her watery apricot eyes, the pupils are like obsidian dipped in water, black and bright, and there seems to be a brilliance flowing between them; Qiong She has a straight nose and pink lips; her cheeks are quite baby-fat, with dimples looming.
Because he has always been pampered and has no violent temper, although Sheng Weiqiao often went to Fengshi and Yantong in the past two years, his temperament still maintained the purity and peace he had when he was twelve or thirteen years old.
It is like a famous flower living alone in a deep valley, untouched by the hustle and bustle of the world, undisturbed by the world of mortals. It blooms with the delicateness that has not been exposed to wind and frost and the harmlessness that is not familiar with the world. It has a unique kind of innocent beauty.
Seeing Gongsun Yingjiang staring at him, Sheng Weiqiao was slightly surprised: "Ying Jiang?"
"Auntie!" Gongsun Yingjiang waved his legs to make all the maids who were close to him retreat temporarily, and he came close to her ear. He whispered a little nervously and worriedly, "Auntie, tell me, Ying Dun, he just... or did he suddenly miss you?" It was love at first sight, so why did you want to go with us without blinking an eye, instead of staying with dad and uncle?!!"
"..." Sheng Weiqiao was silent for a moment and said quietly, "Actually, there is a possibility that he fell in love with me at first sight. After all, there is a saying called retribution in this world. Why did I make the mistake of being chased by our little uncle in the first place? Maybe now it will be my turn to be attacked by Ying Dun. What about a fierce pursuit?"
