After all, the aunt and nephew had just landed on the shore. Although the maid had to move the luggage, the specific furnishings had to be decided by themselves, and the master knew how to do it.
So after talking about Gongsun Yingdun for a while, they dispersed, and each of them led his personal maids to pick up the place where Dong Lai asked to stay.
Sheng Weiqiao watched Lu Jin and Lu Qi finish the outer room, and asked them to move the two pots of sweet-scented osmanthus on the east side of the window to the outer room: "We were a little dizzy during the two months on the boat, so why don't we use incense?" , so as not to make the smell even more greasy. It is better to use the natural osmanthus to smoke the tent, which is light and light to suit the occasion."
"Actually, if we want to meet the occasion, we should smoke the scent of apricot flowers now!" Lu Jin and Lu Qi smiled and thanked them. When they were about to ask for action, the little maid Jinli had already cleverly taken the lead and took care of it. Seeing this, the two big maids were gone. He stopped, nodded secretly, and remembered the hospitality, and still stood in the room joking with Sheng Weiqiao, "After all, the eldest son has already reached the Jiejie Yuan, can we all appreciate the osmanthus!"
Because the government examination is held in autumn, when the sweet-scented osmanthus blooms, it is also called Guibang; while the Huixi examination is held in the spring moon, which is the season of apricot flowers according to phenology, and is also called Xingbang.
The two maids said so.
"If we can find two pots of apricot flowers in full bloom now, he won't mind rewarding us as a reward?" Sheng Weiqiao opened the gold-painted mother-of-pearl eight-treasure box on the table, grabbed a handful of dried apricots and threw them to them, laughing and cursing, "If there are no apricot blossoms, then I won't eat the dried apricots!"
Lu Jin and Lu Qi moved to pick them up. After receiving them, they both smiled: "Whether the flowers are blooming or not, it turns out they are real! Although the lady's words were not unintentional, they were a sign that the eldest son will go to Chang'an for the examination next year, and he will surely succeed. Three yuan!”
Sheng Suihe once won a small three yuan in the examination in the front yard, but Bu Nao had a good name and was incomparable with the serious three yuan in a row. The so-called winning three yuan in a row refers to the Lianjie Township Examination, the General Examination, and the Palace Examination. Since the beginning of the imperial examination, there have been only a handful of people who have achieved such good results.
If it is really possible, glory will be known!
Although Sheng Suiheyandong has obtained Jieyuan, Sheng Weiqiao knows that Nanfeng County's literary style is not prosperous. Although his brother is very talented in the county, will the most outstanding scholars from Tiandong be gathered for the examination next spring? Zi's battlefield. It's hard to say whether Sheng Sleeping Crane will come out on top by then.
Is Bu Naoyandong just joking? Of course Sheng Weiqiao would not point out the facts seriously, so he smiled and said: "He really wants to win three yuan in a row. When he comes back, my grandfather will definitely arrange a flowing water banquet in the house for seven days and seven nights to celebrate. By then we will definitely There are rewards too!”
Lu Jin and Lu Qi pretended to be surprised: "Hey, how do you know, young lady, whether the slaves think that way?"
Just as he was talking about that, Jinli from outside coughed, and then walked in. He knelt down and said, "Miss, Miss Sun sent someone to deliver fruit. Can't you just bring it in?"
"Let the person who brought the seasonal fruits bring them in!" Sheng Weiqiao said casually, "There are a lot of fruits in that season. I wonder what Ying Jiang brought?"
After a while, a little maid under ten years old came in with some difficulty carrying a plate of pears and saluted: "That is grown in the east of Toimao Fengfeng. It has thin skin and sweet juice. The young lady just remembered and ordered someone to pick a plate." Come, please give Miss Sheng a try!"
Sheng Weiqiao asked Lu Jin to take it in front of her, rewarded her with a silver lock, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Do I want a jade fan? I haven't seen it for some months, so I almost didn't recognize it."
Yushan smiled shyly: "Miss Sheng has a good memory! Master Shaohai said that slave has changed a lot in the past two years, and she may not even recognize her when she comes back!"
Sheng Weiqiao asked: "Has it really changed? The outline of the bunao is very present, but it's not unrecognizable - my young lady must have recognized it just now, right?"
After joking with the little maid for a while, she let her go. By then, Lu Qi had already taken out the silver knife and neatly peeled and cored Sheng Weiqiao.
Unexpectedly, he cut the two pears into small pieces and put them on silver picks. Before he could bring them to Sheng Weiqiao, Jinli came in again to report that Sheng Sleeping Crane was here.
"Has he finished talking to Lord Gongsun Hai? He didn't go back to his place after talking, so why did he come to his place?" Sheng Weiqiao was a little surprised, but didn't deny it, "Let him come in!"
After Sheng Suihe came in, Sheng Weiqiao pushed the silver plate decorated with pear pieces towards him along his legs and said disgustedly, "I don't know how to choose the time. Lu Qi had just finished peeling it and I arrived. It seemed like she went there specially for me." It’s over!”
"A few pears, so stingy!" Sheng Suihe smiled, took the silver pick and inserted a bunch of them. He seemed to be very interested in the pears. He took a few bites and then put his foot down and said, "Don't He said that Brother Wei doesn’t know how to reciprocate favors - now go to the valley with Brother Wei to see Brother Five, and Brother Wei will make me grilled muntjac, please?"
"No!" Sheng Weiqiao refused without thinking. Although she didn't get seasick, she had just arrived and had just packed up the outer room where she begged to stay. Didn't she ask if she wanted to go see something else outside when she came to the east? Please rearrange the arrangements. Just for the reception banquet in the morning, she also had to discuss with the maids about dressing up, right
So where can I find the time to accompany Sheng Suihe to see the fifth day of the Lunar New Year
The "fifth brother" who was not Sheng Shuihe had no friendship with her!
After Bu Naodong's conscious rejection, Sheng Weiqiao felt a little better: Sheng Shuihe should have guessed his interest in the fifth day of the fifth grade of junior high school, and he was not so big as to rush over to visit the island the day after he arrived. Han Jie
Could it be that he especially likes to be rejected by himself
Thinking of this, she lifted Dongba and said to Lujin and the others, "Let's go out first. Keep an eye out. If someone comes, just make a sound!"
After the guests retreated as promised, Sheng Suihe breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "My dear girl, you are indeed right to advise me to go to my aunt's place more often! Two years ago, I was not that clever!"
"Two years ago, when did I ask him to go watch the fifth day of the Lunar New Year together? How do I know that he can't understand the meaning of my words?" Sheng Wei Qiao gave him a red look and played with the concentric knot and long pomegranate red palace ribbon around his waist. , thoughtfully said, "I wouldn't go back to my place to clean up, but would run over to him to talk about the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Could it be that Ying Dun's hesitation just now has something to do with the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?"
"How did you think that Ying Duntou was gone?" Sheng Suihe smiled and said lightly, "Brother, do you really miss your fifth brother? So after I said goodbye to my eldest brother, I immediately wanted to go to the valley to see it - My dear, I probably don’t know. Fifth Brother is usually in the valley, and no one disturbs it. It rarely comes out of the valley. But when I know that Brother Wei is on the island, it will often come out and wander around. That’s not for you. I'm afraid that I haven't seen it for too long, and it has forgotten me. I turned around and ran out to see, eh, that girl is pink, tender, tender and delicious at first glance... She's very strange! If she's strange, then... Most of the time, I won’t deny it to my own people, eat them! I said that, how can I explain to my parents if I go to Xintuo?”
Sheng Weiqiao grabbed a pickled plum from the box and threw it at him: "I haven't seen it for a long time? Maybe I will go to the valley to look for it later, and it will be delivered to the door for dinner tomorrow. I'm happy. He ate me, and he didn’t know how to go back and tell his parents!”
Sheng Suihe took the plums, tossed them in his legs, and said with a smile: "That's why I'm afraid of you! I thought about taking my dear daughter over with me. If my fifth brother gets his appetite, he'll have a sweet and tender baby." If Nannan is in front, I will definitely not look after my brother! When the time comes, I can give it to my good little girl to eat. Can I take advantage of the opportunity and sneak away?"
"How do I know it can't see me?" Sheng Weiqiao said slowly, "First of all, I'm much taller than him, and if you choose me, you have more meat; secondly, I practice martial arts all the year round and have strong muscles, unlike him who is here all day long. Staying in the backyard, your skin is delicate - just like the wild game that runs all over the mountains is always more delicious than the domestic animals that are kept in captivity, if you are a good eater on the fifth day of the month, why should you choose something with a good taste like me?"
"My dear girl is getting more and more articulate!" Sheng Suihe laughed dumbly, stood up and touched her head, "Okay, it's not early, I really want to come back for a banquet later, let's go back quickly!"
Sheng Weiqiao asked doubtfully: "Do you really want to go now? He remembers who told him before that he wouldn't hurt anyone rashly on the fifth day of the lunar month!"
"No, why don't you just take precautions?" Sheng Suihe tugged at her palace ribbon and coaxed, "There's not much of a journey here and there, so I should give it to my brother for peace of mind - after all, my dear little girl is so cute , It’s not bad if Fifth Brother casually hurts my skin with his claws. Isn’t it safe to let it recognize me again?”
Sheng Weiqiao always felt that he was lying to her, but after a few more interrogations, Sheng Suihe refused to admit it, and instead couldn't help but urge her to leave.
"Then he comes with me to see what kind of medicine is sold in my gourd?" She tilted her head and thought for a while, then stood up in confusion and said, "I'll go out first and let Lu Jin and the others come in to help him change clothes." .”
After a while, Sheng Weiqiao changed into the clothes for going out, and while arranging her arms and draping her silk, she walked out of the outer room. He said to Sheng Suihe, "He remembered that if they wanted to recognize someone, Lu Jin and the others would have to ask Chu Wu to know Dong." Right? What if it runs over and doesn't move him, but injures the people around him? But you can't bring them all over, then no one will take care of his things - according to him, why bother asking him? Are you coming with me? How about I bring the fifth graders here to identify them one by one?"
Sheng Suihe smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and he said gently: "My dear girl, I have changed my clothes anyway, so I just went with my brother, just in time to bring him over on the fifth day of the lunar month to recognize me, okay?" "
Sheng Weiqiao snorted: "He knows I have ulterior motives!"
"Don't take me with you, maid. If you encounter a difficult road, I will be alone. Xintu can carry me for a while." Sheng Suihe saw that she seemed to have someone from Lu Jin or Lu Qizhong following her. He immediately said, "Otherwise, the mountain road will be difficult to travel, and the time delay will be too long. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch the wind feast in time!"
"What on earth am I planning?" Sheng Weiqiao frowned and looked at him for a while, whether he agreed or not. But as soon as he went out and saw no one around, he immediately grabbed his sleeve and asked in a low voice, "I don't want to take him to the valley alone." What to do? I shouldn't be thinking about his previous attempt to drive me out of the Sheng family, trying to trick him into taking revenge on him or something, right?"
Sheng Suihe said softly: "My dear girl, have I forgotten that I helped my brother to temper my courage? Is it necessary for me to lie to my brother if he wants to take revenge on me?"
"You're talking as if I haven't lied to him!" Sheng Weiqiao sneered, "I don't want to say anything now. Anyway, the truth will become public sooner or later - Bu Nao, what happened to Gongsun Yingdun?"
She thought about the behavior of her nominal nephew before and frowned slightly, "After they went out just now, Ying Jiang initially suspected that he had listened to someone's instigation and that I would compete with him for the position of Sea Lord. But later they all felt that he had listened to someone's instigation. That's too ridiculous, it's better to just take my word for it, I believe he can't wait to say goodbye to Ying Jiang!"
"Children are ignorant and always have unrealistic ideas." Sheng Suihe narrowed his eyes and his smile faded, "Don't take it to heart, good girl, just stay away from him!"
-unrealistic
—Don’t worry about it
-Turn back and stay away from him
Sheng Weiqiao chewed on the key words, and immediately thought of Gongsun Yingjiang's previous words, and blurted out: "No, right? Did he really fall in love at first sight?!"
Aren't the siblings a member of the same family? !
As a sister, she wants to sleep with her little uncle;
The younger brother was actually horrified by the sight of his aunt, Sheng Weiqiao, and immediately stopped, wishing he could just turn around and return to the Sheng Mansion quickly!
However, he saw that Sheng Suihe, who was walking normally, stumbled and stumbled before standing still. He looked at her with an indescribable look for a moment and said sincerely: "Good girl, Ying Jiang is really just a special case." ! Regardless of whether he is a brother or not, he regards me as a pure peer or elder. I am absolutely right and I don’t have any inappropriate thoughts! Speaking of which, it has been two years since my second uncle separated. Why am I so good? Haven’t I returned to the innocent, ignorant, pure and kind person that matches my appearance?!”
My sister has such dirty thoughts at a young age. Being a brother is really stressful! ! !
