Sheng Weiqiao hadn't coaxed her yet, and her only close confidant also had an opinion. Sheng Suihe twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that the house he was living in now would have to be changed anyway - this was basically the same as the day after he moved in. Have a happy birthday!
Combined with the fact that after Sheng Lanci bought this place, he successfully passed the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy, but then he received the news that Mr. Sheng was seriously ill and hurriedly returned to his hometown. Is there really no problem with the Feng Shui of this place
"I'm actually not from the Sheng family." After much thought, Sheng Suihe decided to tell the truth to Gongsun Xi. First of all, he had been following him since he was a child, and he had always been loyal. Gongsun Xi would have to go through many confidential matters. It's okay, this secret can't be kept secret for long; secondly, he doesn't want his number one to have a deep grudge against Sheng Weiqiao. After all, he also hopes that Gongsun Xi can help keep an eye on Sheng Weiqiao when he can't take care of it.
After thinking about it for a while, he said truthfully, "The reason why Sheng Lanci recognized her as a foreign wife was because Sheng Lanci had no children and was worried that her only daughter would have no brothers to rely on in the future. She took a fancy to me, just to study in the city government, and Zhien I wanted to repay him, so I confused my bloodline and pretended that I was his accidental heir, and I only reunited after living abroad for many years."
Gongsun Xi was dumbfounded and was stunned for a long time before he said calmly: "Then Miss Third...?"
"The girl doesn't know the inside story, so she is very disgusted with me entering the Sheng Mansion. This is also the decision I made after discussing with Sheng Lanci. After all, you know that girl, she has no palace and can't act." Sheng Suihe said , "You have been involved in the cultivation of me by the Sheng family in the past two years, as well as the assistance to Wuyi Camp with various supplies. You should know that what we have received from the Sheng family is quite a lot. Sheng Lanci spent such a high price , the only thing he wants is that I can take good care of the apple of his eye. Although we are pirates and have done a lot of bad things, I don't think it's appropriate to break promises in such a cheap deal. What do you think? ?”
"..." Gongsun Xi was silent for a while and asked, "I remember that when my subordinates told you about the third lady the year before last, you said that since my subordinates can't forget you who saved them from fire and water, you can't forget your love for them either. You are a kind person. At that time, my subordinates were stupid and thought you were talking about Gongsun Haizu. Now that I think about it, you are actually talking about the Sheng family, right?"
Seeing Sheng Sleeping Crane nodding, he sighed secretly and knelt down, "My subordinates have long said that in this life, they only want to be used by the leader. Once the leader has made a decision, even if he does not explain the truth to his subordinates, the subordinates will obey his orders." What’s more, the leader has now told me frankly that from now on, his subordinates will regard the third lady as the leader’s sister and will never dare to show any disrespect at all!”
"Get up!" Sheng Suihe nodded and said, "Other than Sheng Lanci and his wife, and I, you know that even the old man of the Sheng family doesn't know about this matter. Don't tell anyone about it in the future. Just half a word, so as not to leak the news and cause an uproar!"
Gongsun Xi hurriedly said: "I understand!"
After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked tentatively, "Chief, you... do you really only regard the third lady as your younger sister?"
He grew up with Sheng Suihe and gained deep trust. He could be said to be the person who knew the leader best in the world. How could he not notice that Sheng Suihe's attitude towards Sheng Weiqiao had unknowingly changed
Sheng Suihe, who has just entered the Sheng family, seems to be concerned about Sheng Weiqiao, but in fact, most of the time he has a teasing idea. At that time, Sheng Suihe would not be angry because Sheng Weiqiao chased him and yelled, "Get out of here, you aunt", but he would never get two maids as an explanation because the maids she recommended to him were not suitable.
To put it simply, Sheng Suihe's attitude towards Sheng Weiqiao ranged from dealing to caring.
Previously, Gongsun Xi thought they were biological brothers and sisters. He only thought that Sheng Suihe had truly recognized Sheng Weiqiao as his sister during the two years of getting along with each other. Now that he thought about it, Sheng Suihe entered the Sheng family as a concubine of the Sheng family. It was a deal from the beginning. He had known that Sheng Weiqiao was not related to him by blood, but he became more and more attracted to this girl. What did this mean
"We can't say for sure now. Let's see. The Sheng family didn't urge her to leave the cabinet right away." After hearing this, Sheng Suihe was silent for a long time and said, "The most important thing right now is Chunwei."
Gongsun Xi was also silent for a while and said: "Chief, my subordinates have a few words to say: Third Miss is too pampered and is not someone who can take care of you. If you marry her, you will definitely have to worry more! Furthermore, although you We are not from the Sheng family, but we have opened an ancestral hall and entered the family tree, and our names have been determined... Doing this would be shocking to the world, and the consequences are really unpredictable. If we are still at sea now, it doesn't matter. But the leader also said before, When you get to the shore, you must follow the rules on the shore. Especially if you are going to pursue an official career... This... "
Sheng Suihe said calmly: "That's why I said let's take a look first - you don't have to worry, I have my own sense of discretion."
Gongsun Xi was still very worried. It was not easy for Sheng Suihe to reach this point. There were many life and death, many sword flashes, many intrigues, and so much exhaustion... Now he finally has an upright and upright background, which can even be said to be glorious. It is expected that he will win the first prize in a row, and he will win the first prize in a row. A bright and beautiful future will slowly open in front of him like a scroll.
This was a future he had never dared to imagine before.
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Sheng Suihe to be ruined because of Sheng Weiqiao, causing the hard work of the past ten years to be wasted.
But Gongsun Xi also knew Sheng Suihe's temper. Now that he said so, he just didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.
On this day, after serving Sheng Sleeping Crane, he went to the front seat and pushed a companion to wake up: "I will send another letter to the island, saying that I asked for a maid before, but I forgot to write down a few requests!"
… Early the next morning, Sheng Suihe and Sheng Weiqiao got up before dawn.
Sheng Weiqiao had just finished washing when she heard Sheng Suihe knocking on the door. She was slightly surprised, asked someone to open the door and asked, "Brother, why do you get up so early?"
"I'll take you to the palace gate later." Sheng Sleeping Crane lifted up her robe and sat down on the rosewood inlaid and enamel carved landscape embroidery stool handed over by the servant. She said warmly, "I haven't had anything to do in the past two days, so I'll just wait there. I will accompany you back after you come out, and it will save Aunt Nan trouble."
- After finally moving out of the Marquis Ningwei Mansion, he came to stay in this house for one night. Sheng Weiqiao started to get angry. Now, how could Sheng Suihe not be prepared for Nan to take advantage of the situation and see that Sheng Weiqiao was making trouble with him? To resolve the conflict, coax Sheng Weiqiao back to the Hou Mansion
So he had thought early in the morning that he would pick up Sheng Weiqiao in person today to minimize the chance of Nanshi whispering to her!
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know what he was planning, and thought he was caring about him. The anger that had been accumulated in his heart for many days dissipated slightly, and he declined: "There's no need to go to such trouble. The palace gate is not far from here anyway. I don't have to go there by myself." Aunt Nan sent it to me specially! It's so cold today. We have always been in the south and have never experienced such a cold. We don't know how long this trip to the palace will take. What if it takes too long and you are freezing in the carriage outside? manage?"
"Just ask someone to prepare more charcoal." Sheng Suihe was not willing to agree, so he immediately said, "Besides, I am different from the eighth sister. After all, the eighth sister is a girl, she is young, and her body is naturally weaker than mine. A lot."
Sheng Weiqiao still shook his head and said sternly: "I'm telling you, if the eighth sister is frozen, as long as she is fine, she can take care of her slowly and there is no rush. But you are different: the New Year is just around the corner, and you have to spend it. After the New Year is the first month, spring is at the beginning of February! Even though there is still another month to come, it goes by very quickly. If you are frozen, it is most difficult to survive in the cold weather. If this delays your future, we will I can’t even explain it to my family!”
Seeing her resolute attitude, Sheng Suihe pondered for a while and said: "When I met with the Queen Mother before, the eighth sister and Ying Jiang also went together. This is because they were also in Danmo Tower in Bishui County that day. When the matter about Molou was brought to the attention of the Queen Mother, they naturally had to be present. But that was not the case this time. This time, because the Queen Mother had sent the message for you to answer the question alone, the eighth sister and Ying Jiang were not among those summoned, so they could not follow them rashly. But the situation with Aunt Nan is different. Aunt Nan is the conferred wife of the imperial family. Although the two Xu Shimei do not receive special titles like Jingshu County Princess of the Huan family, they are noble daughters who grew up in Chang'an. If Aunt Nan I also brought Cai Kui Shimei with me this time, wouldn’t it be awkward for you to go back and forth alone?”
When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, her expression turned complicated. She could understand Xu Caikui's mood of not wanting to be implicated, but she understood. It was impossible to say that she had no grudges about being kicked out of Ningwei Hou's mansion in public - after all, A pampered girl like her never heard a harsh word, let alone the humiliation of being kicked out by her master in public.
So although she didn't hate Xu Caikui because of this, she definitely didn't want to meet Xu Caikui.
After being silent for a while, he said, "Aunt Nan won't take her with her, right? When you pulled me towards Jihong Pavilion that day, Aunt Nan was doing something to her. It's only been a few days, and maybe there are still marks on her face. Well, where can I go out?"
Sheng Suihe calmly smeared the Ningwei Hou Mansion: "My dear girl, you are so naive! Do you think that Brother Xu Shi has been raised in Cangwu County all year round, and Uncle Xu Shi and Aunt Nan only have these two daughters at their knees? The former grandfather To paraphrase what Mr. Xu said, you heard it too! The monthly income of these two people is much more than that of Xu Shishu. It can be seen that Aunt Nan is harsh to Xu Shishu, but she loves the two daughters very much. How can she be willing to do this to her daughters? Heavy hand? I'm just calling you to see!"
"Seven days have passed. Why can't you get better after those two slaps?"
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao's expression darken, he added, "Even if Aunt Nan doesn't bring her out today, if I don't accompany you back and forth, do you believe that Aunt Nan herself will intercede with you and ask you to forgive Xu Caikui? Then you will Tell me, do you agree or not? If you don’t agree, Aunt Nan’s face will not look good, and you also said that we will not be able to offend the Ningwei Hou Mansion! If you agree, not to mention that you will definitely feel aggrieved, don’t you? Forget about this matter, I have already written a letter and asked someone to deliver it to Nanfeng County immediately - I agreed to leave it to my parents to make the decision, how can we promise anything before my parents speak? Doesn't this embarrass my parents? "
Sheng Weiqiao was agitated by what he said. After thinking for a moment, he finally nodded: "Then I'll bother you, brother!"
- The Ningwei Marquis Mansion didn’t know about Sheng Suihe’s evil deeds. Xu Zijing, who happened to be taking a break, specifically told Nan: “When I see Qiaoer today, I must apologize. Don’t ask her to forgive Caikui.” Damn it! Otherwise, Qiaoer will be told the same thing by that boy Heer. With that boy’s deep thoughts, he will most likely think that we bullied Qiaoer because of his young age and deliberately chose Qiaoer as a breakthrough point! He will write this in a letter home and send it back When we go to Nanfeng County, it would be strange if Mr. Sheng doesn't knock on the door of our ancestral home! Then the relationship between the two families will be even more unsafe!"
Nan sighed: "Why are we so miserable? We only have three children in total, and two of them are here to collect debts!"
"In the final analysis, there are too few fights!" Xu Zijing also sighed and said sadly, "As the old saying goes! A filial son emerges from under the stick! Parents are old, so they will inevitably dote on their grandchildren - otherwise, how could the evildoer start to mess with Qiaoer? He finally gave up and dragged his parents to the Sheng family to beg for mercy and apology over and over again, so the Sheng family agreed to give him a chance without telling us anything?!"
"If you can find an excuse to whip him in the future, you must not let him go!" Nan thought it made sense and nodded, "The same goes for Cai Kui. In the past, I heard other people say that daughters should be pampered, so that they won't be bullied after leaving the palace. . Now I think about it, how can outsiders know whether someone is pampered or not in a deep house? On the scene, it’s just pampering and pain! If you are disobedient, you still have to beat him! If you don’t beat him, he won’t be effective! "
The couple summed up their experience in raising children and goddaughters. Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Zijing urged Nan to leave quickly to pick up Sheng Weiqiao: "Although the Queen Mother did not tell you what time to enter the palace today, it always seems respectful to go early. , if the Queen Mother is so happy, she might let Qiao Er go!"
Speaking of this, he sighed again, "I wonder what answer He'er has prepared for Qiao'er? Although it seems from the last meeting that the Queen Mother is quite concerned about Qiao'er. But the happiness and anger of the superior are not always certain. Yes, if the Queen Mother doesn’t like this Qiaoer today, you have to work hard to plead for mercy, and you must not let this child be wronged again!"
Nan was about to answer when Chen Sha came in to report, looking very disappointed: "The eldest son of the Sheng family and Miss Sheng San are already waiting outside the door. The door asked them to come in according to Madam Marquis' previous instructions. The eldest son of the Sheng family insists on waiting in the carriage outside the door!"
When Xu Zijing and his wife heard this, they felt panicked. Xu Zijing immediately stood up, picked up the fur coat on the hanger next to him, and walked out: "You pack it, I'll go take a look! You bastard, what's the grudge?" , we all apologized like that, it’s okay if he refuses to move back, but now he would rather wait at the door in the wind and snow than come in for a cup of tea? What does this mean? I plan to die of old age after meeting the Queen Mother this time. Don’t we have any contact with each other? Is our old Xu family so easy to get rid of?!"
