Seeing this, Sheng Weiqiao also lowered the curtain, turned around and said to Lu Jin: "Go outside and remind the nursing staff that Zhao knows that there are many people here, so he may not come alone. He must bring his subordinates. Don't bring anyone with her when the time comes. Here we are, our people still don’t know what’s going on!”
Lu Jin agreed to go out and send a message. Ao Luanxiao was kind-hearted and didn't like to cause trouble. At this time, seeing that she was about to start a battle, he was a little worried: "The woman will come later. If you can talk to me properly, It’s better to turn conflicts into friendship!”
His suggestion was not entirely timid, "That woman is very aggressive, and she is very reliable at first sight. It would be okay if this was Nanfeng County, but this is Bishui County. Cousin Sheng and Xu Shixiong are not here yet, and we are the only ones. She doesn’t have many nurses, so if she has more people, we’ll inevitably suffer a loss!”
Because even if there are the same number of people guarding the hospital on both sides, they will have four masters to protect while guarding the hospital. If the other side only needs to protect one Zhao Taozhuang, that side will definitely have the upper hand in the end.
But Sheng Weiqiao said: "I know cousin, you are a person who values peace, but you have also seen the character of the person named Zhao just now. It is clear that he is a person who makes trouble out of nothing! Otherwise, how could I quarrel with her? Such kind of If you let her go, she will just slap her nose in the face - so she either won't come, and if she comes, not only can we not take the initiative to seek peace, but we have to be cruel and teach her a lesson, and then she will understand the seriousness and dare not Keep pestering!"
Sheng Weiwu also said: "Cousin Ao, how can you turn your elbows outward? That bitch surnamed Zhao scolded me in public for not being worthy of calling her sister. It's only natural that the third sister would help me. She was the one who started this matter. Yes, don’t we have to compensate her now?! I don’t want it!”
Ao Luanxiao was very embarrassed when he heard this, and kept saying: "That's not what I meant!"
"Don't worry, Cousin Ao. As long as I'm here, the two aunts will be fine. If there's a fight later, take care of yourself and just hide behind the nursing home!" Gongsun Yingjiang said excitedly as he geared up. , "And so are you, Manager Sheng!"
Sheng Lu was calm: "The little one is thick-skinned. When I was in Nanfeng County in my early years, I was lucky enough to learn a few fists and kicks from Uncle Zheng, who was in front of the old man. After thinking about it later, I won't be a hindrance to the nursing homes. Maybe I can do something for the young lady." Let's block it. But you don't need to worry, this Danmo Tower has a long history of dealings with our Sheng family's property here. If Miss Zhao comes to make trouble, Danmo Tower will not stand idly by!"
In order to entertain Sheng Weiqiao and his entourage, he was prepared to stay for a long time.
After choosing from thousands of choices, I decided to settle on this Danmo Building. Is there more than just an asshole party to make these gentlemen and young ladies happy
It’s even more because of his relationship with Danmolou, which is enough to guarantee that even if he encounters any trouble or disputes here, he will be treated unfairly!
After all, he still hopes to serve these young ladies well and add weight to his future. How could he not consider all aspects to avoid being judged as "not doing things well" if he fails to please
Seeing this situation, Ao Luanxiao, who had never seen a serious quarrel, let alone a fight, still felt uneasy, but it was hard to say anything - after all, he was not the one who was humiliated, and secondly, this would be a grand event. The family didn't ask him to be the main force in the fight later. Gongsun Yingjiang even asked him to protect himself. How could he have the right to continue to oppose
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the elegant room. Everyone was excited and secretly said, "Here we come."
Gongsun Yingjiang volunteered to open the door and carry a vase for a sneak attack, but Sheng Lu would not be so scornful as to seriously let Miss Sun of the host family do this, so he immediately stepped forward and opened the door - they had already prepared the outside. A group of people swarmed in and prepared to start a fight. Even Sheng Lu immediately put up a defensive stance with his fists and feet. Unexpectedly, there were only one master, two servants, and three young girls standing outside. They were smiling and showing no hostility at all!
Seeing this situation, everyone in the private room felt embarrassed at first, and then they all pointed at the leading girl and said, "You are not Zhao Taozhuang!"
"Don't worry, Zhao Taozhuang has been taken away!" This girl has slender eyebrows and handsome eyes. She is not as bright as Zhao Taozhuang, but she is also pretty. She nodded with a smile and said, "She doesn't even look at it. Whose territory is this? Forget it that you just made trouble for me in public, but you actually want to bring people over to fight. Do you really think that the shopkeeper of Danmolou is just a free man?!"
When she said this, Sheng Weiqiao and others understood and said, "Are you Miss Meng?"
"Meng Guihuan." Meng Guihuan pointed to the tip of his nose, then looked at Sheng Weiqiao, raised his hands and smiled, "I came here specifically to see you. Although Zhao Taozhuang is annoying, she has a real backer. Not so young - among girls of the same age, except for my cousin, I have never seen anyone dare to talk to her like you do! You are really not ordinary brave, but when I hear you speak Mandarin, there is something southern. As for the accent, I guess I haven’t been to Chang’an, so I’m probably ignorant and fearless, right?”
Sheng Weiqiao originally thought that she came here to inform him after knowing that Zhao Taozhuang was captured and could not come to cause trouble, so he was quite grateful. However, now he felt that there was some gloating in her words. Frowning slightly, he said: "The so-called king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers on the shore of the land. No matter how powerful she is, her surname is Zhao but not Rong, it can be seen that she is not the golden branch of the clan, so everyone is a minister. She can say hurtful words arbitrarily, why can’t I refute her?”
"Although she is not a wealthy person, she has a close relationship with the royal family." Meng Gui said with a smile, "Anyway, you should be careful!"
Saying this, he didn't enter the door. With a flick of his sleeves, Shi Shiran turned around and went back to the next door.
Sheng Weiqiao and the others were left looking at each other for a moment. Sheng Lu closed the door and frowned: "This matter..."
He hesitated for a while, and then finally said his guess, "Miss, Miss Meng just said that she is from Chang'an, and her accent is right. She also said that Miss Zhao has a close relationship with the royal family, and she and Zhao The young ladies are enemies of each other. It suddenly occurred to me that the current Queen Mother... is also named Meng!"
Hearing this, everyone frowned. Ao Luanxiao was originally worried that the matter would get too big and difficult to deal with. Now he couldn't help but feel frightened and strange: "If someone from the Queen Mother's clan... why did they come all the way to Bishui County? And just like As my cousin said just now, Miss Zhao's surname is Zhao, not Rong, and she is not a noble daughter of the clan. If Miss Meng is a member of the Queen Mother's clan, how can Miss Zhao have the courage to provoke her?"
"Cousin, has he forgotten who the old owner of Danmo Building was?" Sheng Weiqiao thought for a moment, but he guessed the key, "The current shopkeeper here is still named Huan! Most likely, he is related to that Duke Huan!"
Before Huan Guanlan disappeared, he was not only a veteran of two dynasties, but now the emperor's teacher, he was also recognized as a great Confucian, with peaches and plums all over the world!
Such an identity, such a status, even if he has been missing for twelve years and his life and death are still unknown, is still of great value!
In the court, because the emperor has no children, it is no secret that his maternal relative Meng and his younger brother Gaomi Wang have been at each other's throats for decades - if Zhao Taozhuang is related to Gaomi Wang, she openly provoked Meng Guihuan in Danmolu. , it seems that there is a conflict between the two girls, maybe it will be another battle between the King of Gaomi and the Meng family!
Thinking of this, Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but secretly thought that it was troublesome. They stayed in Bishui County for half a day just for Sheng Suihe's request and to have fun. They didn't want to get involved in the intrigues of the high-level officials!
Sheng Lu obviously took this into consideration and whispered: "Miss, how about... I will send you guys back to the ship first, and then ask Danmolou about the situation?"
"We can't leave now!" Originally, Sheng Lu didn't say that, and Sheng Weiqiao also thought of leaving. But now that Sheng Lu brought it up, she thought about it for a while, then shook her head and explained, "If Zhao Taozhuang and Meng Gui Huan, if it is true that they belong to the Gaomi King and the Meng family, we have already offended Zhao Taozhuang, and happened to be adjacent to Meng Guihuan's private room. Just now, Meng Guihuan came over to have a conversation. If we now After meeting Meng Guihuan, he left as soon as possible. What will King Gaomi think when he hears the news later?"
Sheng Weiwu definitely couldn't answer this question, and Gongsun Yingjiang was also embarrassed. However, Ao Luanxiao was limited by his background and was not very sensitive to politics. He was thinking about it at the moment, but he couldn't say it for a while.
Sheng Lu reacted quickly and said with a frown: "I'm afraid that King Gaomi will think that we have taken refuge in the Meng family!"
"That's right!" Sheng Weiqiao said coldly, "We just had a quarrel with Zhao Taozhuang. Although the quarrel was very unpleasant, it was not an irreconcilable hatred. What's more, this matter is still Zhao Taozhuang's. With makeup on her head - there is no need to turn against the Meng family for this! Especially Meng Guihuan didn't even enter our private room, he just said a few words that seemed to be reminders but were actually joking and left. He had no intention of soliciting or protecting us at all. ! It would be unwise for King Gaomi to misunderstand us and rashly get involved in the fight between these two parties!"
Sheng Weiwu seemed to understand this and couldn't help but said: "Third sister, did Meng Guihuan do it on purpose?"
"It's hard to say since I've only met once." Sheng Weiqiao shook his head and said, "But as the saying goes, the Hou family is as deep as the sea, not to mention that the Queen Mother's natal family seems to have granted more than one Hou. If Meng Guihuan is really a member of the Queen Mother's natal family, I'm afraid that She’s not easy to get along with. We can’t take it lightly just because we see her being scolded by Zhao Taozhuang!”
Sheng Lu said guiltily: "I didn't check it out beforehand. I didn't know that Miss Meng was next door - but I didn't know what to do now?"
"Of course we will continue to attend the chrysanthemum party." Sheng Weiqiao waved his hand for everyone to return to their seats and said softly, "After all, we are here to attend the chrysanthemum party - so when the King of Gaomi investigates Zhao Taozhuang's matter, we There are also reasons to show that this conflict is just an accidental conflict between us girls and has nothing to do with their foresight!"
At this point, he turned to Sheng Lu and said, "I don't blame you for what happened in Yajian. After all, no one expected that a noble girl from Chang'an would come all the way to attend this chrysanthemum party and bring the flames to us. Let's not talk about this matter. Okay, I just want to ask you, where are the flowers you are going to attend the chrysanthemum party? You can bring them in for us to see."
Sheng Lu understood what she meant, that is, he not only wanted to continue to participate in the chrysanthemum party, but also strived for the first place. When he went back to argue with King Gaomi, he could say: "You see, we have nothing to do with the Meng family. , otherwise why didn’t even the leader of the chrysanthemum party be given over to Miss Meng?”
He secretly praised Sheng Weiqiao as worthy of being Sheng Lanci's daughter. Although he had heard in the past that this young lady was spoiled and spoiled and was not someone who could take on trouble, at the critical moment, she finally revealed her father's style.
At that moment, someone went down to move the flowers and introduced: "The young one has prepared two pots of chrysanthemums for the competition, one pot of Gu Shui Shui Xia, and one pot of Jade Pointing Gold. The appearance is excellent, and several people who participated in the evaluation have seen it in advance. At that time, everyone said that winning the championship would be no problem."
This is a hint to Sheng Weiqiao that the leaders of these two pots have been determined by default - as for which pot is the leader, it depends on the situation, but today's leader must be "Spring Joy".
Sheng Weiqiao nodded with satisfaction and turned to Ao Luanxiao: "Cousin, we are not very good at poetry. I'm afraid we will trouble you later!"
Ao Luanxiao was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly: "It's not that far from the ship. When we came out, Brother Xu Shi didn't get off the ship. Maybe he's still on the ship now. Why don't we send someone to invite him now? Help? There's still some time before sunset!"
He said this because he felt ashamed of his literary talent and was afraid of being burdened with a heavy trust.
However, Sheng Weiqiao comforted him: "Cousin, you have also heard the lyrics of those two people just now, but that's the case - even if my cousin majored in articles about managing the world and benefiting the people, and was not good at poetry, he would still be better than those two. Yes! I just saw them all and responded to the scene. I think the chrysanthemums prepared by Sheng Lu were enough to impress the whole audience."
Ao Luanxiao was about to refuse, but at this moment a familiar servant's voice came from outside, saying: "My young lady has composed the lyrics for this pot of ink, please listen carefully!"
Sheng Weiqiao and others couldn't help but be surprised: "It's been a long time, is it possible that no one has come on stage after the pot of ink lotus?"
While they were talking, they came to the railing to take a look, and they saw that in addition to the "Phoenix Zhenyu", "Pink Sunflower", "Green Peony" and "Mo Lotus" on the high platform below, there were five or six more pots of chrysanthemums of various colors.
Sheng Weiqiao and the others were immediately annoyed: "What do you mean? The pot of ink lotus has been delivered to the stage a long time ago, and it's only now that the lyrics are handed over - can this still be done?!"
Seeing this, Sheng Lu comforted him and said, "Don't be anxious, everyone. I'll go and ask now."
