"Should I go to Chang'an too?!" Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly remembered that Xu Baomo had also made this request to him in the morning - and then was kicked out by himself - hesitated for a while, and became a little reluctant, "But you are pregnant, brother. He will leave soon, I will accompany him and stay at least until next year! This? "
Feng sighed and said: "My dear girl, the farthest place she has been to since she landed is probably Hawksbill Island. Now that I heard that I have traveled thousands of miles away and have not yet been with your father for my mother, no wonder you are scared!" "
"It's not that my mother dislikes you, but you have nothing to do if you stay at home. It's better to go with your brother. It will broaden your horizons; it will also make your aunt avoid taking advantage of your brother's opportunity to go to Chang'an to take the exam. I want to harm him so as not to accidentally hurt you. Not only will this end the friendship between you and your brother and sister, but it will also prevent your aunt from making a big mistake!"
"This is the only way to prevent your aunt from plotting against your brother after he leaves the Sheng Mansion!"
"After all, your brother's trip to Chang'an cannot be reached overnight."
"As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no thousand days to guard against a thief. If you don't accompany your brother on this trip, and we can't control your aunt, you say you just arrange more nursing homes for your brother, but people always have negligence. When it comes to time, it may not be possible to be thorough!”
"What's more, after all, our family is just a powerful family in the county, and your brother is just a Jieyuan now. If he goes to Chang'an with a lot of people, even if he arrives safely because of this, the pomp will be huge. If word spreads, people will think that you are My brother is arrogant and frivolous, and he became public after winning a Jieyuan. If he leaves a bad impression on the examiner before he is finished, won't it also ruin his future?"
"But as long as you go with your brother, your aunt will have no choice but to give up. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Sheng Weiqiao was speechless for a long time. She felt that what Feng said made sense, but she was speechless...
By the way, if Xu Baomo hadn't run to Zhu Ying Xiaozhu this morning, she would have agreed now.
But just after she kicked Xu Baomo out of the house because of this suggestion, she turned around and offered to go to Chang'an with Sheng Suihe - and Sheng Suihe had already agreed to go with Xu Baomo. When Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou were both there, When he was a guest at the Sheng Mansion and had a pleasant conversation with Mr. Sheng, it was impossible for Sheng Suihe to refuse Xu Baomo's invitation to go with him - who knows if Xu Baomo would think that he was duplicitous and had unresolved feelings for him? !
Seeing her daughter's hesitation, Ms. Feng misunderstood and reminded her in a low voice: "This is not just for your brother. You think you are fifteen now. Since the year before last, my mother and your father have chosen your husband. I almost turned this huge Nanfeng County upside down! However, in the past two years of searching, no one can catch your father's eye!"
"Otherwise, if Mr. Xu and his wife came to our door this time with Xu Baomo, my mother and your father would not have changed their minds so easily."
"It's true that our Nanfeng County is a small place, and there are not many outstanding talents. They are about the same age as you, have decent character, and are clean and tidy... After such a screening, we can't find any one!"
"In comparison, Xu Baomo is already a good choice among those who know everything!"
"Actually, two months ago, your father had a private discussion with my mother, saying whether we should simply wait for your brother to be named on the gold medal list, and then look for a good man with both talent and appearance for you in the same year?"
"Now think about it for mother, since you don't like Xu Baomo, why don't you and your brother and sister go to Chang'an together and let your brother help you to check it out, and you can meet him in person!"
"This will prevent Chang'an from being thousands of miles away from Nanfeng County. If you don't go there with your brother, even though your brother has given you a good look at the family, they can't see your appearance and temperament for a while, and they may not have the confidence to wait for the news to come back, so they refuse. Woolen cloth?"
"Although there are many men in the world, there are still few good men who are young, handsome, talented and have outstanding personalities!"
Sheng Weiqiao had nothing to say, so he could only pouted angrily: "Brother is only a few years older than me. How can his eyesight be compared with that of my parents?"
"I just want you to take a stand!" Mrs. Feng heard that her daughter seemed to be interested, but she was still a little hesitant. She couldn't help but chuckle, "Of course we parents have to make the decision personally for such a big matter. It's also for our mother's sake. I happen to be pregnant. When my mother finishes her confinement in July or August next year, how can I not go to Chang'an with your father to help you?"
He added, "Your grandfather and your father have always felt that your brother's marriage should be considered in the high family of Chang'an. Maybe then we can handle all the marriages of your brother and sister at the same time!"
Sheng Weiqiao heard that the family had been planning to let Sheng Suihe be the son-in-law of a high-ranking family in Chang'an. For some reason, he always felt uncomfortable in his heart. He hummed softly: "Then the ladies of a high-ranking family in Chang'an will like him!" With his narrow-minded nature, this noble lady either doesn’t know his background, or if she knows, she’d be stupid to want him!”
Mrs. Feng only said that her daughter was uneasy about going to Chang'an for the first time in her life, so she turned her anger on Sheng Suihe, but she didn't take it to heart. She just smiled and coaxed her a few words. Seeing that she acquiesced to go to Chang'an, she gave her instructions. The basic necessities of life outside the home have begun—that is to say, this matter has been settled.
Sheng Weiqiao did not return to Zhu Ying Xiaozhu until it was time to turn on the lanterns that day. She sighed when she came back. Naturally, Lu Jin and Lu Qi asked why: "Miss, what happened? You were fine with Madam before, so why are you so good at kung fu?" , are you worried?"
Sheng Weiqiao asked them to drive away the little maids, and then sighed: "What Xu Baomo came to say in the morning, Lu Jin heard clearly from the side. Later, Lu Qi heard that I beat him, and thought I I will suffer a loss and run in to check. I guess I heard what Lu Jin said?"
Seeing the two maids nodding, Sheng Weiqiao said with a sad face, "However, for some reasons just now, my mother also planned to let me go to Chang'an with my brother! Then Xu Baomo must also be together. What do you think we should do now? What if Xu Baomo happens? I thought I still had an old love for him, so I felt so wronged that I couldn't be happy without beating him to death! But after all, he was the prince of Ningwei, so it was impossible to kill him seriously. In this way, I could only do it myself Aren’t you happy?!”
Lu Jin and Lu Qi were dumbfounded when they heard this, and looked at each other for a moment. Lu Qi said, "Miss, didn't you tell Madam about this?"
According to Feng's doting on her daughter, no matter what the reason was for letting her go to Chang'an, if she knew that doing so would embarrass her daughter, even if she didn't take back her life, she would have thought of an appropriate way to deal with it, right
"Of course I didn't say that!" But Sheng Weiqiao said matter-of-factly, "Where can I worry about my mother now? I'm not a three or four-year-old child anymore. How can I count on my parents for everything?!"
She slapped the case and said, "You guys come up with something about this!"
Lu Jin and Lu Qi: "..."
They are professionals to serve people, not strategists!
The two maids racked their brains and came up with many ideas, but Sheng Weiqiao rejected them all. Finally, seeing that their words became more and more outrageous, Sheng Weiqiao waved her hands in despair: "Forget it! I knew I couldn't count on you!"
Lu Jin and Lu Qi felt very ashamed after hearing this. Although they were not military advisors, as personal maids, they could not share their master's worries. What a shame!
Lu Jin was so anxious that he came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone: "Miss, the servants are so stupid that they can't help you with this matter. But Miss, you can ask the eldest son! The eldest son is well-read in poetry and books, and is good at dealing with it. Maybe he can help you with this matter." Method?"
She secretly prayed in her heart that Sheng Suihe would really have a solution - not only would this help her young lady come up with a solution, but it would also promote the friendship and harmony between brother and sister!
I have taken a big step closer to the self-cultivation of a good maid!
As for what happens if Sheng Sleeping Crane doesn't have a good countermeasure, wouldn't this be a recipe for trouble and make the eldest young master a scapegoat... Lu Jin wiped a cold sweat: The eldest young master is so smart that he got hit at the age of nineteen. Knowing Yuan, there must be a way...right
Sheng Weiqiao was very dissatisfied at first: "Ask him? I can't think of a solution myself, what can he do? Is he smarter than me?!"
But that day, she thought about it for most of the night and couldn't come up with a countermeasure. The next morning, after visiting Feng, she stood outside the main hall of Chengchun Terrace and thought about it for a while, and finally entered the side courtyard on the right - just in time. Sheng Suihe finished writing an article and was taking a nap. When he saw her coming, he smiled and said, "Good girl, why are you here?"
"I have something to ask you for details!" Sheng Weiqiao sat down listlessly in front of him and said straightforwardly, "Yesterday, Xu Baomo came to Zhu Ying Xiaozhu and suggested that I go to Chang'an with you..."
Sheng Suihe was slightly surprised when he heard this, and subconsciously interrupted: "Are you going to Chang'an?"
"I'm not going! I'm going with you!" Sheng Weiqiao emphasized casually, but immediately thought that it was best not to let Sheng Suihe know about Feng's plan to murder Sheng Suihe, so as not to increase his influence on him. His own aunt's resentment hurriedly said, "Originally I didn't agree to Xu Baomo's promise, but my mother said something to me yesterday."
Having said this, he stopped talking and glanced at Gongsun Xi, who was rolling up his sleeves and serving as Sheng Suihe's book boy on the side of the desk.
Gongsun Xi ignored her. When he saw Sheng Suihe waved his hand, he bowed and left.
"This Ah Xi has such a bad temper!" Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help complaining as he closed the door, "Although his surname is Gongsun, I don't think he has much respect for Jiang. Now that he has come to Sheng Mansion, he has never treated me. Give me face! If you marry a wife in the future, I wonder if he will have the same attitude towards the future mistress?"
"He suffered a lot when he was a child, so he didn't like to interact with others." Sheng Suihe said absently, "I'll talk about him later - let's be serious, what did mother say to you yesterday, why don't you Are you going to Chang'an?"
Sheng Weiqiao thought to herself that it would be difficult to tell the truth that was announced to Feng. Then Xu Baomo couldn't admit it. After thinking about it, he could only hold back his shyness and said expressionlessly: "Mother said that in the past two years, she My father and I searched all over Nanfeng County, but we didn't find a suitable husband for me! I'm already fifteen, and it would be bad if I delay my life because there are no outstanding talents in the county! Why don't you go to Chang'an to take the exam? Come to me, if you have any outstanding close friends of the same age who are good in character, talent and appearance, who are not yet married, you can introduce them to me!"
She finished speaking in one breath and warned, "But don't say that to the outside world! To the outside world, just say that your parents are worried about you starting alone, so they asked me to accompany you and keep an eye on you!"
Sheng Suihe knew that she had been to Xuanyu Mansion yesterday and met Feng again after she came back, so even if Sheng Weiqiao concealed the truth now, he knew it well. At this moment, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Good girl, I am not a brother in the first place. Have you forgotten that you are setting off alone? My brother promised Xu Baomo before that I would go with him!"
"That's why I came to you!" Sheng Weiqiao said hurriedly, "I rejected him last morning, and in the evening I listened to my mother's advice - if I don't go to Chang'an with you now, it will be hard for my mother to explain. ! If I go with you, God knows what Xu Baomo will think?!"
"This matter is easy to handle." Sheng Suihe narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "The reason why Xu Baomo suggested that you go to Chang'an together, good girl, is nothing more than two possibilities: one is because he was influenced by Mr. Xu According to my instructions, if you want to find a building close to the water, you have to go first. After all, we are going to Chang'an by water most of the time. We are on the same boat, even if it is a building, we only live in such a small area, how can we not see each other from time to time?"
"The second reason is that he has the same idea as our mother - after you go to Chang'an, you can meet all the talented people in the country and find another husband, so that he can take the opportunity to escape!"
"If it's the former situation, brother Wei, go back to your grandfather and say a few words, and ask your grandfather to call you to go to Chang'an."
"This will not only give Mr. Xu a face, but also teach Xu Baomo not to speculate on the thoughts of the good girl!"
"But I suspect it's the latter case!" Sheng Weiqiao frowned, "After all, if this idea came from Mr. Xu or Mrs. Xiahou, those two would definitely bring it up in front of my grandfather. But in the past two days, what happened in front of my grandfather No one has ever looked for me! Besides, because my mother is happy, there is a running mat in the house, and everyone is busy. Mr. Xu, even if they have this intention, they are so concerned. , I will definitely not mention such a thing, which will distract my grandfather! I will not let Xu Baomo bother me in private in advance! Why should I wait until the flowing water mat is over before mentioning it to our grandparents - they are not Leave after staying for two days!"
Sheng Suihe smiled peacefully and said: "My dear girl, if it is Xu Baomo's private idea, then help him let Mr. Xu know it!"
"You said that Xu Baomo and others were forced to come to your door to ask for your hand in marriage. How dare he tell Mr. Xu that he was teasing you like this to make you fall in love with someone else so that he could escape from his life as soon as possible? God? Unless he doesn't want to live anymore, he will definitely say that he is afraid that you will be snatched away by someone else when he goes to Chang'an to take the exam, so he will try to take you with him - so can Mr. Xu support him? , Can you not help him lobby in front of our grandfather?!"
"In this case, it's not that you want to go to Chang'an, nor is your mother asking you to go to Chang'an, but the Xu family is coaxing, persuading, and begging you to go to Chang'an!"
"Why do you think Xu Baomo dares to be condescending in front of you?"
Sheng Weiqiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he suddenly noticed a detail and was furious: "What do you mean escaping?! Am I that terrible?! I'm obviously not marrying the Xu family, so I should be the one escaping." right!!!"
"Good girl, it's not that Brother Wei thinks you are a scourge, but that Xu Baomo thinks so!" Sheng Suihe calmly excused himself, "Don't you think Xu Baomo's current attitude towards you is very suitable for Brother This wording used? Brother, I am afraid that you will be soft-hearted and fall into his trap again!"
Sheng Weiqiao sneered and said, "You don't have to worry about this! I just don't like fussing over things. Am I really someone who is easily fooled?!"
Secretly grinding his teeth: Xu Baomo, that ungrateful person, dared to treat her as a disaster star, and in turn avoided her like a snake and a scorpion!
If Sheng Xu fails to get married, the one who should be relieved the most is obviously an innocent person like himself, okay? !
Sure enough, the beating was too light yesterday. Next time she beats Xu Baomo, she will have to change it to a three-foot-tall vase! ! !
