Princess Qingfang's face changed slightly when she heard the noise, and she suddenly said to Huan Yehe and the Sheng brothers and sisters: "Don't sit here, I'll come as soon as I can!"
She left in a hurry with the maids, leaving two maids in their twenties or thirteen years old to serve tea.
Everyone knew that she was there to deal with the sudden noise outside, but they didn't know why. After Princess Qingfang left, the noise not only didn't stop, but became even louder. Although the doors and windows were closed in the winter, and thick curtains were hung at the door. Under the heavy sound insulation, it was difficult to hear the specific content of the conversation, but the noise was getting louder and louder, as if a fight was about to start!
As Sheng Weiqiao listened, he couldn't help but frown secretly, wondering why he was so unlucky today
First, he entered the house and met Huan Yehe, a man who looked like an enemy but not a friend; then he was forcibly sold by Princess Qingfang; now something went wrong outside - God knows whether it would affect her and Sheng Suihe
She was very upset and regretted her promise yesterday to come and see the house in person today. If she hadn't come to see the house, nothing would have happened!
Just when I was uneasy, I heard Huan Yehe talking to Sheng Suihe with a smile as if he didn't hear the fuss outside at all: "I heard that Master Sheng only recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan two years ago. I don't know before. Have you ever traveled around? I think the young master has a good demeanor, but it doesn’t look like the kind of demeanor that can be cultivated in a corner of Nanfeng County!"
On the surface, these words seemed to be praising Sleeping Crane, but Sheng Weiqiao always felt that it didn't sit well with him: The experience of not living in his father's house since he was a child and being taken back after he grew up is not something to be ashamed of - Sheng Weiqiao Suihe and Huan Yehe are not familiar enough to talk freely, so it would be too rude to say such things openly in public, right
In particular, Sheng Suihe's apparent status was that of the concubine of the Sheng family. To put it bluntly, his status was worse than that of a concubine.
What does Huan Yehe mean by bringing it up now
Although Sheng Weiqiao learned the lesson after his first audience with the Queen Mother, he sincerely did not want to have anything to do with the powerful.
However, she evaded and evaded, and she really didn't have the talent to tolerate when she really encountered a powerful person who wanted to bully others.
Feeling annoyed at this moment, without waiting for Sheng Suihe to answer, he interjected without mercy: "The words of the county master are really too praiseworthy. Our Sheng family is just like that. How can my brother's talent and appearance be as good as that of Gaomi Wang Xiao?" How do you compare between the prince and Mr. Meng Ba? My brother would never dare to take what the county lord said! Please be magnanimous and don’t embarrass him! "
When Huan Yehe heard this, his expression froze, and he thought that this little girl's eloquence was really not ordinary. Sheng Weiqiao's words seemed to represent Sheng Suihe's humility, but now Chang'an is a little better informed, who doesn't know Rong Qing Zui and Meng Boheng both wanted to marry Huan Ye
At this moment, Sheng Weiqiao said that Sheng Suihe was not as good as Meng Boheng and Rong Qingzui. Didn't this implicitly imply that Sheng Suihe had no intention of participating in this chase and asked Huan Yehe not to drag him into the water
Although Huan Yehe wanted to test Sheng Suihe, he had no intention of teasing her - after all, she was the direct granddaughter of the great scholar Huan Guanlan. Now that her father had granted the title of Uncle Yongyi, and he was also the head of Jingshu County, Sheng Suihe How does her current identity and status match her
And when Sheng Weiqiao said this, it seemed as if Huan Yehe took the initiative to take a fancy to Sheng Suihe, so he praised him!
Especially the last sentence, "Please be magnanimous to the county lord and don't embarrass him." When Huan Yehe heard these words, he almost pointed at his nose and said, "You are not worthy of thinking about my brother, you are a watery person!"
She was simply not as young as Sheng Weiqiao. At this moment, she was extremely angry in her heart, but she still smiled on her face and said, "The young prince of Gaomi Palace is naturally handsome and tall, while Meng Ba is unruly and handsome - but speaking of it, Miss Sheng hasn't met either of these two people, right? It's a pity that there is no news about Meng Ba until now. Fortunately, the young prince of Gaomi Palace is in Chang'an. If you are interested, I can introduce him to you later."
This time it was Sheng Weiqiao's turn to frown. She mentioned Meng Boheng and Rong Qingzui, but she was dissatisfied with Huan Yehe's statement that Sheng Suihe only recognized his ancestor two years ago and wanted to tactfully flatter the county man. host.
As a result, Huan Yehe showed his generosity by saying this, and made it seem as if Sheng Weiqiao was interested in Meng Boheng and Rong Qingzui and asked Huan Yehe for help in getting to know them!
Would she wish to stay as far away from such a troublesome person as possible
Facts have proved that although Feng's teachings were not of much use when meeting a nobleman of the Queen Mother's level, they were still very effective when used to deal with Huan Yehe. Sheng Weiqiao smiled faintly and said, "This is the county master. By the way, I don’t even know how to pick it up? I am from an ordinary background and have never had anything to do with these two nobles. Besides, although the atmosphere of this dynasty is open, there are differences between men and women. How can I let the county chief do this to me? Where’s the recommendation?”
This may sound like a sign of weakness, but it is actually a mockery of Huan Yehe: A dignified county head introduces unrelated unmarried young men and women together. What does this mean
To put it bluntly, what is the difference between this and a pimp
Huan Yehe's face darkened for a moment, he narrowed his eyes, and was about to speak. Sheng Suihe, who had been watching the two girls' undercurrents with cold eyes, suddenly said: "Speaking of it, Master Mengba has been missing for some days. The county master is well-informed. Bishui County It’s the Huan family again, I wonder if there’s any news recently?”
"..." I don't know why, when Huan Yehe heard this, he stared at Sheng Suihe for a long time, then snorted coldly and said lightly, "Master Sheng, you asked the wrong person! Although I am also very worried about Meng Ba, after all, I am just a purdah girl. This matter has alarmed the court. Naturally, the court is the most well-informed. What do I mean to an idler like me who only spends time in the backyard boudoir? ?”
Sheng Suihe chuckled lightly, but his eyes were cold and there was no smile at all, and he said slowly: "The county master's words are really too presumptuous! After all, as the eighth master of Meng and the young prince of Gaomi Palace, he is not just any noble person. Women can make them travel all the way to Bishui County and stay there. It can be seen that the county master is beyond the reach of ordinary noble women, how can he not do this little thing? Anyway, we are not the real culprits behind the scenes, we just want to care. It’s just an inquiry, why should the county master be so tight-lipped and refuse people thousands of miles away?”
Sheng Weiqiao guessed that although his words were somewhat sarcastic, they were not as harsh as those he had just said. However, when Huan Yehe heard these words, he suddenly showed a furious expression - but he quickly calmed down and said with a faint smile: "What? If you are not a noble girl, let others talk about it! Young Master Sheng is very talented. In the spring of the new year, the thought of being named on the gold list is like searching for something. It will be a trivial matter to be named a marquis and prime minister in the future! In this way, my sister's status will rise, sooner or later. She will become one of the so-called noble ladies in this vast city of Chang'an! Why does Master Sheng need to use such a title now? It seems to be a mockery!"
"I am a layman. I have studied hard for more than ten years and want to be sold to the emperor's family." Sheng Suihe smiled softly and his eyes were like knives. "But I did not have the detachment of 'after being in a cage for a long time, I will return to nature'." !”
Huan Yehe could hardly hold back his smile. His hand, which was originally resting on the small table, tightly grasped it for a moment before he relaxed, tilted his head and smiled and said, "Master Shanda really knows how to joke!"
I don't know what she was thinking. After saying this dryly, she lowered her head and looked at the table in front of her, as if she suddenly became very interested in the table - and then she never talked to the Sheng family again. The brother and sister said one word.
Sheng Weiqiao wanted to be quiet, but after waiting for a while, the noise outside seemed to have subsided, but Princess Qingfang still did not come back. She became a little impatient, leaned slightly towards Sheng Suihe, and whispered: "I don't know. How is the eighth sister doing at home? Ying Jiang has no experience in taking care of patients before. I wonder if she can come here alone when we are not here? "
This was actually meant specifically for the two maids left behind by Princess Qingfang. After all, Princess Qingfang said, "Come as soon as you go", and it had been almost an hour since she left!
Is this coming back or not
In view of the calm situation outside at the moment, Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but worry. Princess Qingfang had forgotten them
The maid simply heard her intention and looked at each other. The younger one quietly walked out under the signal from her companion's eyes.
But when the maid walked out of the door, she was surprised and said: "Princess Princess!"
It turned out that Princess Qingfang had just come back. When she saw the maid walking out, she could roughly guess the reason, so after entering the door, she turned around the screen and apologized quickly: "I'm really sorry for you! There was a small incident at home. You guys are laughing!"
"It's not about anything else, it's just that this house is not for sale!" Before the princess finished speaking, a woman in brocade clothes walked out from behind. She looked about forty years old, with a dignified and delicate appearance. She looked like she was dressed like the back house of a wealthy family. The lady in charge.
However, judging from the red gold silk green Luan holding a bead on her temples, she is probably from the Gaomi Palace. Although the Huaiyuan Marquis Palace is also one of the high-ranking sects in Chang'an City, such a beaded hairpin will not let the people down below. People just put it on their heads and go out.
After all, although Qingluan is not a phoenix, it is one of the legendary divine birds. It is not easy for masters to wear it to people with no status, let alone slaves.
After the woman walked out from behind Princess Qingfang, she looked around at the people inside and said loudly, "The princess put this house in a dental clinic without telling my master. In fact, my master has no It means selling! That’s why I just learned the news and immediately ordered me to come and stop it. If it’s offensive, please forgive me!"
She probably knew Huan Yehe and knew that Huan Yehe was not a buyer, so when she said this, her eyes naturally fell on the Sheng brothers and sisters. She leaned slightly and said in a reserved and polite manner, "You two Please come back! Let the two of you run away today..."
Before she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly froze, but she looked at Sheng Suihe with some surprise, and blurted out, "You...?!"
