In fact, the reason why Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou concealed Sheng Suihe's experience from Xu Zijing and his wife in their letters home was because they were worried that the matter should not be spread to the outside world and that if it was leaked, it would bring trouble to Sheng Suihe's future. the friendship between the two families;
But the reason why Xu Baomo did not even tell Xu Zijing and his wife about his betrayal of Sheng Weiqiao the year before last was because, after all, Xu Baomo was raised by an old couple, and he was the only grandson. He would be beaten and scolded. Scolding, the old couple loved the grandson very much.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have tried every means to match up Sheng Weiqiao, the prospective granddaughter-in-law they thought they were satisfied with, with Xu Baomo, right
Although Xu Baomo was personally wrong about the matchmaking, from the initial surprise to the later fright and then to the avoidance - from the perspective of the old couple, his grandson must have been young and lacked eyesight, so he just missed it. Sheng Weiqiao is such a good girl!
In order to prevent Xu Baomo from regretting it for a long time, they have the responsibility, obligation and ability to facilitate Sheng Xu's marriage!
So when Xu Baomo abandoned Sheng Weiqiao in rebellion, Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou were trying to train him, but at the same time they decided to hide it from Yuan Te Chang'an's son and wife - because they were worried that Xu Baomo would not follow him for many years. When parents are together, it is inevitable that the relationship will be unfamiliar.
The Xu family also has the tradition of beating their sons, or to be precise, beating their sons violently. If Xu Zijing and his wife found out, they couldn't help but move their legs when they met Xu Baomo. The relationship between the biological father, mother and son What should I do if there is a gap before my relationship has been cultivated
Out of such considerations, Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou openly threatened Xu Baomo: "I have told my parents about that matter. I beg you not to get Qiao Er's forgiveness. My parents will not look back." It would be weird if you beat me to death!"
Secretly, Xu Zijing and his wife were kept secret!
The old couple's foresight for their grandson was too hidden, and the times they beat their grandson were too frequent. Xu Baomo didn't realize how cruelly his grandparents wronged him, so he was following the phrase "My sister, I too" "You can't be more ruthless than him" and then committed a terrible death again!
- I beg you, the housekeeper and the servants who had dragged him here heard the news and ran in. They used their strength as a personal guard and stopped Xu Zijing and his wife. He almost got beaten alive by his own father and mother that time. Beat him to death!
Oh no, for a parent like that, he will never admit whether he is his biological child!
What made Xu Baomo vomit blood the most was that when the housekeeper sent him back to Yinglu Mansion, he was greeted with greetings and concern all the way. But just when Xu Baomo was moved that there was no one in the house who really cared about him, even if he was not related by blood. The butler, but he couldn't help but remember the warmth deeply - he even thought that a few years later, he would become the master of the Hou Mansion, and the butler would be old and unable to do anything, and would come to him tremblingly. Please resign!
However, despite Ming Yue's concern, she would definitely stay with him, respect and support him as an elder, and let him have a happy old age...
At that time, the butler said earnestly: "Your Majesty, your health is not good! It seems that the old Marquis is old after all, has a weak heart and weak legs, and did not train you seriously! From your first scream, to the younger ones, I rushed in to stop Mr. Dong, and it took less than a stick of incense to separate him! You couldn't even walk at that time. With you like that, it's no wonder that Mr. Dong was disappointed!"
He said kindly, "So, while I am still in confinement in spring, you will start tomorrow and practice with us? After all, as the only male heir of the Marquis, you are too weak. Not only will you fall behind the Marquis, Face, our entire Ningwei Hou Mansion is in shame!"
Xu Baomo took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. He felt that if one day he inherited the Ningwei Hou Mansion, the first thing he would do would be to drive out the housekeeper! ! !
No, that other end, no that or that - my prince has been beaten like that. As a housekeeper, I don't feel sorry for the young master, and I am thinking about how to persuade the master to show mercy, but I actually blame my prince for being too weak? ? ?
Such a housekeeper is so considerate and respectable!
—My son’s grandfather trains my son. If so, can he be trained in both civil and military skills? If not, can he be trained to be a qualified sandbag for my master? ! !
While Xu Baomo's place was in dire straits, Sheng Sleeping Crane was filled with joy.
After he left Ningwei Hou's mansion, he returned to the house and just hung up the flower door. He saw Sheng Weiqiao in the east corridor, hugging a fox fur, looking forward to it.
The winter in Chang'an is much colder than the winter in Nanfeng County. If you are used to it, you need to wear jackets in winter. Fox fur is basically only worn during the confinement period for decoration, even though the girls were dressed like balls at that time. I held a leg stove in my legs, and there were four charcoal basins specially brought in by the Easterners for warmth. The northwest wind was blowing, so I was quite cold and shivering.
"Why are you waiting there for him?" Upon seeing this, Sheng Suihe saw that her good mood disappeared immediately after entering the door. He frowned and glanced around, "We don't know how to show off the young lady?"
"They persuaded him, but he didn't listen!" Sheng Weiqiao didn't want to listen to him scolding Dongren at that moment. Besides, it was true that she insisted. No wonder Dongren came forward and pulled his sleeves and walked towards the courtyard. He whispered, "Eighth sister has just developed a fever. She has just finished drinking the medicine and is falling asleep. Let's not leave through the corridor, so as not to disturb her."
He added, "Ying Jiang said that after coming back from the palace yesterday, we moved non-stop. We were too tired and didn't sleep well last night. We just helped take care of the eighth sister and went back to the house to catch up on some sleep."
"How is the eighth sister? Are you okay?" Sheng Suihe looked at her leg grabbing his sleeve, and the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said hypocritical words of concern, but in his heart, he wished that Sheng Weiwu would stop pestering Sheng Weiqiao for the rest of his life. As for Gongsun Yingjiang, seeing that his niece is so well-informed and knowledgeable, Gongsun Yingdunti, who has been forgotten for a long time, will come tomorrow!
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know what he was thinking, and thought he was really worried, so he went to comfort him: "The doctor said it's not a big problem. Just take a few pills and lie on the bed for three or two days, and it will be fine! Don't worry," he said. !”
"How is that possible?" Sheng Suihe said righteously, "Originally, we have been in the south and are not used to the climate of Chang'an. It will be even more unbearable when there is no heavy snow in the morning! Look at me, He is six years older than the eighth sister. When he was waiting for him in the corridor just now, he felt cold in such a big battle! Besides, the eighth sister is only so old, so she might get sick in the twelfth lunar month, and she would not be able to celebrate the New Year even if she is here. After the New Year, it’s hard to get a month or two of snow in the east. It’s said that Chang’an sometimes gets very cold in March and it’s snowing—how could she lie down for three or two days and then get up?”
He told her as a matter of course, "After waiting, at least let her lie down for another five or six months, and don't ask her to leave the room until the spring comes. Please buy her more toys if she feels lonely. Ask the maid to read allusions to her again! Anyway, you must make a mistake and don’t let her get cold again!"
Sheng Weiqiao was very moved when he heard this: "Brother, he used to pull his eighth sister to scheme against me. I didn't expect that she is sick now. I am more considerate than he thought!"
Sheng Suihe selectively forgot that he was actually rewarded every time he was tricked, and said righteously: "That's nothing, we are a family! Besides, we were young at that time, and the family would fight and fight. It's not an ordinary thing, if you want to hold grudges like that, your tolerance is too narrow!"
"Brother cares about Eighth Sister so much, can he be her favorite sister and never fall behind!" Then he heard Sheng Weiqiao say firmly, "When Jie Donglai comes, he has to accompany Eighth Sister every day to prevent her from staying in the house. Only when you get tired of crying!"
"I knew that little girl was a big trouble!!!" Sheng Suihe, who had just stepped onto the threshold of the study, his face stiffened and he roared in his heart, "I should have thrown her to the sharks back in the sea!"
Of course, he knew that he could just think about throwing Sheng Weiwu to the sharks. He begged him to do it seriously. But if Sheng Weiqiao knew it, it would be strange not to fight with him!
After secretly vomiting a mouthful of blood, Sheng Suihe decisively changed the subject: "Good girl, he just had a talk with Uncle Shi and learned some news from Uncle Shi. He was wrong about what I said when I went to the Queen Mother in two months to report back. I already have an idea, let me listen to him!"
Is that a serious matter, and it is of great importance - at least in Sheng Weiqiao's view, it is very important. She immediately stopped thinking about how to take good care of her sister. She followed Sheng Suihe and sat down, looking attentively listening.
Sheng Suihe liked her expression very much at this moment: the girl's watery apricot eyes stared at his face without blinking, and her slightly pursed lips made her delicate little face look a bit serious.
But that seriousness was probably because all his attention was focused on him, so he had no time to make any expressions. Therefore, in Sheng Suihe's view, it was also surprisingly cruel.
Because the two of them were walking together on the same bed as they did last night, with a small table between them, so close. If you look carefully at her pupils, the center of the reflection is full of disdain for him - that feeling makes Sheng Suihe felt indescribably happy.
After calming down, he said: "What uncle Shi told him, he won't repeat it now. He just said that he speculated on the reason why Donglai came: When I meet the Queen Mother again, I will tell you that something happened in Bishui County. The second son of the King of Gaomi and the eighth son of the Meng family, although they are not juniors, they both hold important positions in the Prince of Gaomi and the Meng family."
