Until this is put aside, the two sisters are naturally not afraid of being grounded, especially when the old man insisted on a month last time, but now he only said ten days and a half, which is obviously a concession!
But now they are still frightened by what they experienced last night. Let alone going to the ancestral hall to stay in confinement for ten days and a half, they can't bear to stay there for even a quarter of an hour!
After hearing this, they naturally begged again and again - but the more they begged, the more Mr. Sheng felt that they were lying in order to avoid punishment. He said angrily: "You have disturbed my birthday party and embarrassed the Sheng family! You have caused such a thing. I didn’t beat you, and I didn’t kick you out of the house. I just asked you to go to the ancestral hall to copy books for two days, and you still have to bargain for money? Do you really think that our Sheng family has no rules?!"
After saying that, he ignored the arguments and crying of the two sisters and directly ordered, "Take them to the ancestral hall! No one is allowed to let them out within ten days!"
The two sisters were dragged to the ancestral hall by chance when they met Xu Baomo - in fact, it couldn't be considered a coincidence. Xu Baomo was thinking about coaxing Sheng Weiqiao into his hand. How could he let such a good opportunity pass
So after the carefully planned encounter, he feigned surprise and stopped the servant to ask why.
Originally, it was not easy for him to take care of such household matters when he was a guest, but since he had a distinguished status and the Xu and Sheng families were family friends, it was hard for the servants to refute his face, so he had to vaguely tell the story - the servants. It must be said in a vague way, after all, the reason why the two ladies were detained in the ancestral hall is not a shameful thing, and the reason why they were sent back to the ancestral hall again this time is even more embarrassing.
How can you tell your distinguished guests this kind of thing openly
Fortunately, after Xu Baomo listened, he did not show any dissatisfaction or contempt for the Sheng family tutor. Instead, he said to Sheng Weiqiao tenderly and tenderly: "Sister Shixing, although I am in a neighboring county, I have learned from Mrs. Sheng before. I've admired you for a long time. Thinking about the current matter, there must be some misunderstanding. Don't worry, Shimei, I'm going to see Mr. Sheng right now to see if I can mediate for Shimei!"
"Then you go quickly!" Sheng Weiqiao just begged not to go back to the terrifying ancestral hall. He had forgotten all reservations. Hearing this, he was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. He pulled his sleeves and said with tears in his eyes, "Any other punishment is fine. Anyway, we definitely don't want to go to the ancestral hall!"
Huh? If she is so embarrassed, then as long as she gets the job done, can this little girl not treat her differently in the future
—I just say that this kind of innocent girl is the best to be coaxed!
Now it seems that even God is helping me!
Xu Baomo suppressed his joy and gently comforted the two sisters - mainly Sheng Weiqiao - before turning around and heading to Forbidden Snow Hall. But what he didn't expect was that after finding Old Mrs. Sheng, he mentioned it, and Old Mrs. Sheng He was unhappy: "What does it have to do with you if I teach my granddaughter a lesson? I remember when your grandfather beat your father, I never stopped him. Sometimes I would even give your grandfather a whisk or something. Your grandfather and I are still the same generation. Oh, let’s not interfere with him taking care of his son! Now you, a junior, come to care about how I teach my granddaughter, it is simply ignorant of the heaven and earth! If that old guy Lao Xu were here, I would have to ask his godson for his laxity! "
If someone else had heard this, he would have been so ashamed that he would have retreated three thousand miles.
Fortunately, Xu Baomo was raised by his grandfather, and he has long been accustomed to the temper of people like Mr. Sheng. Hearing this, instead of leaving with regrets, he smiled as if nothing had happened: "When my grandfather beat my father, he usually used a special weapon to do it." The old man in front of my grandfather said that the jujube stick was about the thickness of an egg. With my grandfather’s physical strength, three sticks could make my father lie down for half a day! But the old man only handed him a whisk, which shows that in private You love my father! In this case, it is my own granddaughter’s turn, and it is the two delicate younger sisters. Isn’t it more and more difficult for the old man to do anything? So why not use me to intercede and spare the two younger sisters? "
"You kid, you are much smarter than your father!" After hearing this, Mr. Sheng couldn't bear the airs of his elders. He smiled and stroked his beard and said, "Your father couldn't tell that I loved him back then. After the beating, He glared at me angrily, and there were many people like me, my uncle, behind his back!"
"My dad was young and ignorant at the time." Xu Baomo said hurriedly, "Actually, I wasn't even born when this happened. If dad hadn't told me, how would I have known? So dad understood it later, but he kept thinking about it. I’m looking forward to your kindness! If you don’t believe me, if my father returns to his hometown in the future, he will definitely come to see you. If he doesn’t kowtow to you to thank you for this incident, you can just whip me with a whisk!”
Old Mrs. Sheng was amused and looked him up and down: "Slap you? You little guy looks better than your father and your grandfather. You have thin skin and tender flesh. You have red lips and white teeth. Old man." I really can’t do it.”
"How can the old man be deceived by his superficial appearance?" Xu Baomo put a hat on him without saying a word, and said seriously, "So you really treat me as your own grandson!"
"Because you are so good at talking to me, even if your father doesn't come to thank me, I won't slap you in the future!" Mr. Sheng likes juniors like him who are good-looking and capable and can't help teasing him the most. He stopped making things difficult and said happily, "Well, I'll give you some face - call those two evildoers and me back!"
After a while, Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwu came back full of hope. As soon as they entered the door, they called their grandfather diligently and gave Xu Baomo a grateful look.
It's just that Old Master Sheng didn't give them a good look. He scolded them sternly and finally said: "In the final analysis, what happened this time was caused by your disrespect for your brother! Therefore, if you don't want to be banned from the ancestral hall, you must obtain the sleeping crane's child." Forgive me! And even if he forgives you, if he does it again in the future, then go back to the ancestral hall and reflect! Do you understand?"
Sheng Weiqiao: "...!"
Sheng Weiwu: "...!"
They also want to throw away the Sleeping Crane after use, and then teach the people in the outer room a more serious lesson, okay? !
But seeing their hesitation, Mrs. Sheng immediately snorted: "If you are so stubborn, you should go to the ancestral hall..."
"We admit our mistake!" The two sisters were shocked when they heard this, and immediately said, "Grandpa, we are willing to plead guilty to our brother, and beg him not to punish us to go to the ancestral hall!"
Seeing this, Mrs. Sheng raised his eyebrows in confusion: Are these two granddaughters really afraid of entering the ancestral hall? Did they really encounter something there
However, the old man was born in the army and crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He did not believe in strange powers and chaos and was not afraid of the gods. Thinking of this, he looked at his granddaughters and saw that there was nothing wrong with the two children except that they were nervous at the mention of the ancestral hall. I didn’t take it to heart, thinking that I had already checked it out and there was no problem at all!
Nine times out of ten, the girl is timid and is used to the stars. Suddenly she has no wet nurse to accompany her at night and no maid to take care of her. The two sisters live alone in the wing room. Even if they know that their brother is outside, they can see the shadows falling on the branches. You might even be frightened on the window lattice - the servants reported that there were screams in the middle of the night at the ancestral hall, and that must have been the case!
He was secretly happy: these two little ancestors had always been closely guarded by their parents, and they were spoiled and allowed to act willfully, but the son and daughter-in-law were still reluctant to discipline them!
Old Mrs. Sheng had long felt that this was not going to work anymore, but he had no choice but to have only one way to teach his children: beating!
This method is no problem for sons and grandsons, but it is not easy to use on daughters and granddaughters. Therefore, no matter how worried the old man is, there is nothing he can do. Now there is a place that can make his granddaughters afraid, how can he not be happy
Then he made a serious face and said: "Then I will ask someone to call Sleeping Crane over now, and let's see how you admit your mistake - don't think of doing the same thing in front of your face and behind your back. If I know, I will immediately lock you in the ancestral hall to reflect!"
The two sisters were so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood, but they had to nod repeatedly: "Grandpa, don't worry, we will seriously admit our mistakes and strive for brother's forgiveness!"
After a while, Sheng Suihe was summoned, and before he entered the door, Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwu came forward to greet him, crying bitterly: "Brother, brother! We were wrong, we were really wrong! Please, please forgive us, okay?"
"Why did the two sisters say this?" In front of everyone, Sheng Suihe raised his sword eyebrows slightly with surprise in his eyes. He quickly helped them up one by one and carefully brushed off the dust on their skirts, saying sincerely. , "The two sisters have always been innocent and cute, how could I take the little jokes to heart? As for what happened at my grandfather's birthday party, it seems that it was all caused by a servant with evil intentions who seduced the seventh sister. It was also because I, the elder brother, didn't care enough about my sister. , that’s why my sister misunderstood me - we are all from the same family, just let it go, but it will be exposed to the outside world!"
Looking up, Mrs. Sheng twirled his beard in relief: Look! Although this child was picked up from outside, he is so tolerant! How magnanimous! What a camaraderie! Learn more about the general population! If it weren't for the two eldest parents in the family, how could all these things have happened!
"Suihe, please come and sit down and talk." The old man thought this, and he felt more and more that he should make up for his grandson. He warmly asked Sheng Suihe to sit in front of him, and then looked at Xu Baomo on the other side, "Come and hold Mo. Although Nanfeng County has some personal matters, I also want to have some fun nearby. I am getting older and I don’t have the energy to accompany him to the mountains and seas. After all, you are the closest to him in age in our family, so why not let you take the lead? Is he going out for a walk?"
—Sheng Suihe just came back. Not to mention the mountains and rivers near Nanfeng County, he may not be familiar with the city of Nanfeng County. The old man said this, rather than sending him a guide, it would be more like giving him a chance to get close to Prince Ningwei.
The meaning of cultivation is beyond words.
Sheng Suihe understood the idea and was about to get up to answer, but Xu Baomo opened and closed the folding fan in his hand, so he got up first, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Old man, this sightseeing tour is not interesting for just two people, why not let Wei Qiao Shimei go with us? It’s more lively when there are more people.”
"That's right." Mr. Sheng looked at him approvingly: the elder brother and sister had just reconciled, and it was time for them to take advantage of the victory and let them get along more. He only focused on compensating his grandson but forgot about this. Thanks to Xu Baomo's initiative, this The child is not only smarter than his father and can talk better than his father, but he is also more considerate than his father!
Little did he know that this "considerate" junior was laughing to the sky in his heart: Do you want to use a grandson to kill me? This prince is here for your granddaughter! ! !
