What happened with Donglai was just as Sheng Suihe expected: Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou "accidentally" learned that Xu Baomo was heading to Zhu Ying Xiaozhu privately. After failing to persuade Sheng Weiqiao to go to Chang'an, they summoned him to inquire. detailed.
After hearing Xu Baomo's cautious explanation, he was worried that he still wouldn't be able to win Sheng Weiqiao's heart before taking the exam. He was afraid that when he went to Chang'an, such a "one-in-a-million candidate for a good wife" would be picked up first, otherwise he wanted to take advantage of it. Taking the opportunity to go with Sheng Sleeping Crane, he coaxed Sheng Weiqiao to stay, just in case.
It was rare for Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou to miss their grandson's pleasant expression: "I am quite sensible!"
"Why isn't Bu Nao so stupid?" After the compliment, Old Mrs. How can she be willing to accompany me to Chang'an if I tell her privately about the matter?"
"No!" Mr. Xu also felt that Xu Baomo had no brains and hated the iron. "She is a daughter of the Imperial Academy. Do I think she is the kind of frivolous girl who is uneducated and let go? I said hello Just come with me, what’s the difference between that and elopement?!”
Just as Mrs. Xiahou stepped on her words, the old man suddenly realized—didn’t Sheng Lanling, the youngest daughter of Mr. Sheng whom he admired, run away with her
Although Mrs. Sheng has not allowed Sheng Lanling to re-enter the Sheng family, whether they are biological father or daughter, the bloodline cannot be broken.
Even if there is no Sheng family around now, it is still not a bad idea to say whether to elope or not.
The old Marquis coughed dryly, covered up his embarrassment, and continued, "Is it wrong to have such a burning heart? It's just that the method is inappropriate!" Why should we get permission from Sheng’s elders for this matter? At first glance, Qiaoer was a good kid from De Rong ICBC. Without the permission of her elders, let alone what my bastard did the year before last, she wouldn't have believed in me, such a dignified girl. You will definitely not follow me without a nod from your elders - am I really dizzy? Have I been hanging around too many shady things in the past? Do you think Qiaoer is like them? ! "
As soon as the topic was brought up, it suddenly became an old feud. The old couple scolded Xu Baomo in unison, telling him to strengthen his moral cultivation, "If I make the same mistake as the year before last again, be careful and they will beat me to death!"
Xu Baomo felt so sad in his heart!
Are his grandparents so short-sighted that they actually think Sheng Wei Qiao Derong has everything in place? !
Apart from her appearance, what does that young lady who will help her disobedient husband die early have to do with her
Sure enough, he didn't say whether it was wrong for him to be kicked out of Zhu Ying Xiaozhu by Sheng Weiqiao!
Otherwise, Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou would definitely not think that Sheng Weiqiao was bad because of this, and they would definitely think that everything was not his fault. Sheng Weiqiao beat well and was so good that they were even worried that Sheng Weiqiao was too gentle. If the beating didn't hurt him, I rolled up my sleeves to help him give him a good beating!
Just thinking about it, I feel like I picked it up!
Then he thought that Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou also agreed with Sheng Weiqiao's trip to Chang'an. He suddenly had hope of survival again and secretly prayed: "Da Qiao, she must meet some kind of handsome young man in Chang'an. Among the best young masters in the world." Like - in short, just ask her not to marry him, and she will marry into the royal family so that he can see her from now on and even look back will make him wish!!!"
Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou were originally worried about the sluggish progress of their grandson and Sheng Weiqiao, because even if they didn't care how many more months they stayed in the Sheng family, Xu Baomo planned to participate in next year's Spring Festival, and there was not much time to delay.
Maybe during those two months, the Sheng family in the east was busy preparing for Feng's pregnancy. They were anxious but couldn't say anything.
After listening to my grandson's "idea", I naturally took it to heart.
A few months later, the flowing water banquet was over, and the Sheng Mansion, which had been lively for seven days and seven nights, returned to normal order. When Mr. Xu was talking to Mr. Ao and Mr. Sheng, he mentioned Sheng Weiqiao's marriage to Mr. Sheng.
Because Mr. Sheng had heard from Sheng Suihe a long time ago, he also said cooperatively: "He has also seen Bao Mo's correction in the past two years, and he does not approve of the two children. Otherwise, his Qiao Er has always been She was stubborn. When Bao Mo refused to beg her, she cut off the relationship with her sword and ended the past without getting entangled in it. Now Bao Mo has regretted it, but she has not! We also know that his Qiaoer has always been able to control the relationship. In Mingzhu, Hui Niang didn't have much flesh and blood, so he couldn't bear to force her - so she was willing to treat Bao Mo as her elder brother, and he was helpless!"
Mr. Xu took the initiative and said: "That's not possible! Brother, it's true that he can have Qiao'er's ideas for his grandson, but youth is precious in a girl's family. Qiao'er is now fifteen. If she doesn't kiss her, then You are a bit too old! Especially Qiao Er’s current husband has not even been decided yet. For a family like ours, if we go through the process of six rites every year, it would be considered a rush!"
"If Qiaoer's marriage is postponed any longer, it will be really worrying!"
Next to him, Mr. Ao didn't know his granddaughter's little thoughts, so he went to help and said: "Brother Xu is right! Although his granddaughter is already seventeen years old, her husband's candidate has not been chosen two years ago. , Ru Ming has already drawn up the scope, Zhai Mului will take her out to play, and he will decide after returning. After that, he will arrange for her to leave the cabinet! Qiaoer is two years younger than his granddaughter, and now her husband and son-in-law have It’s really inappropriate to have no goals!”
Mr. Sheng suppressed his laughter, looked sad, and said, "Why doesn't he worry about that? However, Nanfeng County is not as outstanding as Jiangnan and Shuzhong. There are only so many outstanding talents in the county. Lan Ci and his wife I’ve been searching since the year before last, but I still can’t find anything I like!”
"We also know that although Lan Ci has a daughter-in-law again, Qiao Er is not their only daughter so far, and the girl's family is so focused on life-long matters - the couple has always been in high spirits, so how could they be willing to wrong Qiao Er? Where's Qiao'er? If they're even the slightest bit dissatisfied, they would rather take another look, and they will never let Qiao'er pass through reluctantly!"
Mr. Xu slapped his thigh and said, "That's not right! With Qiao Er's talent, appearance, conduct, and bearing, if her parents asked her to marry reluctantly, he would be reluctant to do so!"
"Actually, there really aren't any outstanding young people in our county in recent years." Mrs. Ao stroked his beard and continued to assist, "The most outstanding talent in recent years is none other than the sleeping crane right next to Brother Sheng - but that's Qiao Er. His biological brother - please tell him, Qiaoer can't find a suitable husband locally, why are you in such a hurry? He's already sleeping, so he went to Chang'an to rush for the exam. Then the emperor will be able to succeed, and talented people will gather! Every subject has a gold list, Many important ministers in the court will choose their son-in-law according to the list, so why not let Qiaoer go to Chang'an with Sleeping Crane. Firstly, the girl is attentive and can take care of her brother along the way; secondly, the child's marriage may be there. ?”
Mr. Xu gave him a grateful look, and followed Mr. Tong Sheng and said, "Brother Ao, that's a good idea! It happened that I invited Sleeping Crane to go with me. The two of them, as brothers, will escort Qiao Er together." It’s absolutely foolproof! Even if there are no adults at home to accompany us, I think nothing will happen. So I asked for help in Chang’an, and I will have Zijing and his wife to take care of me, so we don’t have to worry about it anymore!”
Mr. Sheng said deliberately: "That does make some sense! Bu Nao, isn't it too troublesome to hold Mo Ziqi to respect them?"
"Why is it troublesome?" Mr. Xu said quickly, "Did that slap in the face? The year before last, he asked Bao Mo and He to stay in Sheng Mansion for a few months. When have you ever been polite? Now He'er and Qiao'er Please go and live with Zijing. If the couple dares to show any slightest indifference, just tell him that he is taking their mother to Chang'an to beat those two bastards to death!"
He added, "What's more, he and Xia Hou wrote to them about Qiao Er a long time ago. They mistakenly like Qiao Er for something. They wish they could see Qiao Er as soon as possible!"
Mr. Sheng was worried about Sheng Suihe's safety, so he agreed to accompany Sheng Weiqiao early in the morning. After some hesitation, he got over the addiction of being flattered by Mr. Xu, and nodded firmly: "Then he will discuss it with Lan Ci and his wife. Come on! After all, do we know how much they love Qiaoer? I'm afraid that Lan Ci's wife is reluctant to leave Qiaoer! She seems to be pregnant, and if she doesn't agree, it's hard for his father-in-law to force her. Lest she become depressed and cause harm to herself and her children."
Mr. Xu Laohou believed it and turned around and urged Mrs. Xiahou to go to Chengchun Terrace three times a day to show her identity. Feng, who was stunned, relaxed and promised to let her daughter go to Chang'an.
The old couple thought they had succeeded and were very happy in the guest house. They repeatedly told Xu Baomo to seize the opportunity and make sure that Sheng Weiqiao would marry Miss Sheng's family when he went there, and Xu Sheng's family when he returned to Nanfeng County to visit relatives. At least it was not possible for the Xu Sheng family - Xu Baomo was rarely as happy as them, but thinking of his real purpose, he couldn't help but tentatively said: "Chang'an has outstanding people, and due to the spring of next year, there must be talented people from all over the world. Wan After Daqiao left, for the sake of other children..."
"Then I'll go to hell!" the old couple said without hesitation, "Is it the first time I get the chance to be close to the water, can I worry about it for me with all my old bones, or can I go to Chang'an and stay together? If we can get along day and night and make other people fight with each other successfully, why should I say that I am alive?! Apart from bringing shame to our old Xu family, what other use is there for me to be alive?!"
Xu Baomo: "..."
what to do
In that case, even if he succeeds in diverting the trouble away, he won't have a good outcome, right? !
"Come on, after all, if you marry Da Qiao, your future will be bleak!" Xu Baomo was melancholy for a long time, before gritting his teeth, "If I don't marry Da Qiao, even though my grandparents will be furious, can I survive it? After that, it will be sunny again after the rain!”
As long as the weather is fine, he must hold on!
Thinking of a happy life after getting rid of Sheng Weiqiao, the stumbling block that prevented him from realizing his mother-in-law's ambition to travel all over the world, Xu Baomo's eyes were filled with longing.
... Of course, the Sheng family was also very happy at that time. Sheng Lanci and his wife listened to the brother and sister and me talking about how they colluded with Mrs. Sheng to design the Xu family. They laughed so much: "He'er is so narrow-minded! I obviously didn't want to help my dear daughter Dongtai, but in the end it was the Xu family who begged us! My child, they all said I was honest, but they didn't expect me to be so quiet and so quiet that I turned out to be a bad boy!"
