Sheng Weiqiao was stunned and turned to look at Sheng Sleeping He, but Sheng Sleeping He looked calm and asked quietly: "Dong Sheng Sleeping He is from Nanfeng County. The unknown person..." After a pause, no one told him. When the woman asked for a name, he just vaguely asked, "Can you give me any advice?"
"Nanfeng County?" The woman murmured and repeated, "That's not true...how can it be so far away?!"
Sheng Weiqiao was puzzled and said, "They really traveled for several days to get to Chang'an."
"Aunt Zhao, since that house is not for sale, let's not waste her time." Seeing this, Princess Qingfang secretly pulled the woman's sleeve and said, "Otherwise, the two children came to Chang'an and their lives will be different. Familiar, you think our Gaomi Palace wants to buy and sell by force! Don't scare people!"
Aunt Zhao obviously had a very different status in the Gaomi Prince's Palace. She looked at Princess Qingfang who was the direct daughter of Princess Qingfang, so she turned red and said, "The house is definitely not for sale! I'm sure you won't sell that house tomorrow!" It's our fault. We asked people to come here in the snow. Just now I heard Mianchun say that those two people spent a lot of time to visit the entire backyard? Now it's better, let's just say we won't sell it! Then why can't we? What’s an explanation?”
Those words sounded kind, but in Sheng Weiqiao's opinion, it was troublesome - I won't sell it, I just let them go, what explanation can I ask for!
To put it bluntly, since their brother and sister had the confidence to come see the house, it showed that they were not short of money.
I beg for an explanation, but can’t I give that house to them? !
In this case, why delay their return in the heavy snow!
Bu Naocuofang had a strong backing and her words were beautiful, so she couldn't push back straight away, so she had to use Sheng Weiwu as a cover again: "Then they understand Wei Yugu's kindness! To be honest, although they just said I thought the house was nice, but because the price was not affordable, I had already planned to give it up. I was about to say goodbye—the youngest sister in the family was only nine years old, and she had not recovered from the cold she had contracted during the confinement. So I came here. I am only accompanied by my niece, who is not much older than me. They have been away for a long time, and I am really worried!"
Aunt Zhao didn't know what she was thinking. Instead of letting go, she said: "It's not good for a girl of that age to be sick for too long. Let's do that. His master still has some dignity in the palace. You two can stay here for a while." , he took the master’s post and went to Tai Hospital..."
"Auntie!" Sheng Weiqiao's expression changed upon hearing this, and Princess Qingfang also stamped her feet, "We have never seen those two children before. Do you want to stay as a guest or ask for help from the imperial doctor? I know. I said you are used to being cold-faced and warm-hearted. Seeing that my brother and sister are traveling far away without any elders around to look after them, I couldn’t help but want to help!"
"I don't know. I think we are either committing adultery or stealing if we show our courtesy for nothing!"
With that said, Princess Qingfang turned to the Sheng family brothers and sisters and said, "Don't get me wrong, you two - if we are in a hurry to go back, then please come! If we are asked to go on a trip tomorrow, our family will definitely have something to do when we come back. Explain!"
Sheng Weiqiao wished she could say that. Hearing this, without saying a word, he stood up and said: "Farewell!"
Du Meiqin specially said hello to Huan Yehe, pulled Sheng Sleeping Crane, and walked out of the house in a hurry without looking back. When the carriage drove away and completely left the alley where the house was located, she breathed a sigh of relief!
At that time, in the house, Aunt Zhao was rudely issuing an eviction order to Huan Ye Hedong: "They have some household matters to ask, so please go back first! If anything happens, come back to the county in another month." Lord, since everyone is in Chang'an City, there will be no inconvenience, no?"
Huan Yehe smiled perfectly, stood up and nodded, "I'm going to leave even if I don't tell my aunt. If I can't go out tomorrow, I'll just play chess with sister Qingfang!"
After saying that, he took the maid Shi Shiran and left.
Aunt Zhao followed her to the door in person. After watching her disappear, she asked two confidants she had brought over to guard the door and windows. Then she returned to the house, drove everyone else out, turned around, and didn't care. In Dongzunbei, he sternly said to Princess Yufang: "Where did that young man come from?! You knew that the princess would never sell that house, but you suddenly stole the deed and put it up for sale tomorrow. Can you leave all the affairs in the Dong Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion behind and come all the way to wait for you? Can you just let him go?!"
"Auntie, please be patient!" Princess Qingfang did not dare to accuse her of being disrespectful. Instead, she made a cup of tea for her and whispered, "It's good that you know - who doesn't know that?" The house cannot be moved? Doesn’t it mean that the matter is too big and I dare not say anything until it is confirmed, so I can take advantage of the brother and sister’s request to find a house and go around in such a big circle to meet them? "
Aunt Zhao pushed away the tea that was handed to her and said anxiously: "How can he think about drinking tea in that situation? I'll tell him what happened!"
"It's Princess Jingshu who was driven away by you just now." Princess Qingfang knew that she was anxious at the moment. In fact, the princess's own heart was also surging. She put the tea bowl on her lap and calmed down before speaking. He said, "At noon the day before, he had put the two children to sleep. He returned to the room and planned to take a nap. Unexpectedly, Jingshu's personal maid suddenly and mysteriously appeared at the door - he thought something big had happened. Oh! It turns out that the maid said that Lord Jingshu asked him to try to meet the scholar Sheng Suihe who came to Chang'an to take the exam!"
"At that time, he felt that the Lord Jingshu was confused? Although he has a daughter, she will only be ten years old next year, and it is not time to rush to find a husband for her! In addition, he asked to meet someone who is not a relative. What is the old man doing?!"
"Aunt Bu Nao, you also know that although Jingshu is not a daughter of the clan, she has always been very particular about her behavior, otherwise she would not have been praised by everyone inside and outside the palace! So even though the maid didn't know why, he wanted to After much deliberation, I decided to send one of my men back to Uncle Yongyi's Mansion with her and ask Jingshu face to face."
"Then Jingshu wrote a letter, sealed it in front of her, and asked her to forward it to him."
Having said that, Princess Qingfang took out an opened letter from her sleeve and handed it to Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao couldn't wait to grab it, and after a quick scan, she was stunned: "She... how could she know that?! She knows so much?!"
"He doesn't know. When the brother and sister were taken to look at the house by Mianchun, he asked her very much." Princess Qingfang sighed and said, "But she has been avoiding the most important things and refusing to answer, and my aunt also I know that my father, Wang Ruming, is also trying to win the favor of Duke Huan's people. What happened to Bu Nao that time? She was willing to reveal the news to us. Is it more or less a personal favor? He couldn't force her, right? Bu Nao didn't see that. There is nothing to guess, the foundation of the Huan family is just that, is it 100% a hindrance left behind by Duke Huan when he was still alive?"
"Hind legs?" After hearing that, Aunt Zhao's face suddenly changed and she said, "So speaking of what happened back then, Duke Huan knew everything from beginning to end?! But he did nothing, just looked at our house... "
Princess Qingfang interjected: "That's why he just asked to stop my aunt and not let you force the wrong brother and sister to stay!"
"...I did the right thing!" Aunt Zhao took a deep breath and said, "If Huan Guanlan knew everything about what happened back then, then whether he was involved in it or not, Mingyue's direct granddaughter introduced us to the person , how can we ignore it?! Did he really lose his mind just now? When he saw that face... Very good, I stepped forward in time and sent them away! Otherwise, if Guangdong went to the east, if he fell into the trap, there was a trap in the eye. You’re not joking!”
Princess Qingfang was not surprised to see Aunt Zhao mistakenly change her title to Huan Guanlan, because she was quite suspicious of this person, so she whispered: "Is that what he thought, so after reading the letter, she didn't say anything" , directly called his confidants to inquire about the wrong brother and sister. Hearing that they were looking for a house, he took advantage of the scheme and asked the landlord to meet them and see for himself - according to their request, none of the houses in his possession were suitable. , that's where they can be lured to come in person. However, the matter cannot be made public for the time being, so we can secretly take out the deed. When we take the deed, we deliberately leave traces of it, so we can lure my aunt here. ! So that you can take a look too!”
Aunt Zhao sighed and said: "He knows my plan. Not only does he agree to meet the young man, but he also doesn't agree to it... Don't ask me to mention that matter again in the future! You I can't understand the master's mood. If you mention it once, you will stab the master once. You also know that the master's body and bones have been damaged in the past two years, and he really can't bear to be tortured!"
Princess Qingfang was silent for a while, and then she said quietly: "Aunt, after all, we are full blood...what's there to say? In the past, he had to pretend to be confused. Could it be that what happened in Bishui County really scared him?" It’s over! Meng Ba from the Meng family will not be able to say a single word until tomorrow, and he is probably gone!"
"Even if Qingzui comes back with his life, he will look like that, and I don't know if he will be able to survive in that life..."
"He went to see his grandmother this time and visited him by the way. Didn't you see that the child Taozhuang was standing outside, crying quietly for a long time, her eyes were swollen to the point of being swollen. When she saw him, she finished talking to Qingzui As soon as the words went out, I wanted to ask him about it, but I didn't dare... That look made him feel..."
"He is afraid of something else, just that something similar will happen again. What's the use of regretting it when the time comes?"
Aunt Zhao was silent for a while, and then said: "Princess, there are some things that can be solved without outsiders stepping in. You also know the master's character. You don't need to persuade him to figure it out, he can figure it out on his own; please do she think about it?" If it doesn't make sense, then you can't change your mind just by listening to someone's advice. Even if you have good intentions, you have to tell the truth: I'm afraid no one will appreciate it! Why bother if you don't?"
"..." Princess Qingfang remained silent for a while and said calmly, "Let's not talk about the matter of the Sheng family boy. If he doesn't... How many hindrances did Huan Guanlan prepare behind the scenes? After all, it is not a happy event. The family It won’t go east again like it does now; if not..."
Her eyes sharpened, "In their Gaomi Palace, is it possible that Huan Ye can play with a little girl?!"
"The person on the bottom of his leg should not be touched lightly." Aunt Zhao nodded and said softly, "So the princess has to worry about tracking down the boy named Sheng! Bu Nao, Huan Yehe, that Isn’t it natural that he can investigate the details of County Master Jingshu! After all, our young prince didn’t go to Bishui County because of her!”
Princess Qingfang reminded: "Auntie, although there are no outstanding children in the Huan family now, the only one with some legs and wrists, Jingshu, is a girl, but Huan Guanlan should not be underestimated! It turns out that he has been missing for twelve years , the Huan family was divided, and most people thought that he was no longer alive! Jingshu, who was posthumously named, suddenly brought the young man named Sheng to us, but he doubted whether it was the hindrance of Huan Guanlan's stay in the East. No…he’s alive?!”
"If he is still alive, he is worthy of being a veteran of two dynasties and an auxiliary minister. He can hold his breath!" Aunt Zhao raised her eyebrows when she heard this, but sneered, "The Paodong family has been hiding for twelve years, and it's not like that. I wonder what kind of big event they are planning? That man Qiu from Bu Nao is still alive, but we don’t need our Gaomi Palace to worry about him. There are people who are eager to dig him out and settle scores with him!"
Princess Qingfang didn't even ask who was the person who "wanted to go to the east of Huangquan to dig out Huan Guanlan to settle the score." She frowned and said: "There is something very important. I need to ask my aunt to help me check it out: That Sheng Sleeping Crane, the former If you come to Chang'an, why don't you attend Mingke Spring Festival?"
"Then let him participate!" Aunt Zhao said nonchalantly, "Except for the similarity in appearance and age, nothing has been determined. How can we let him cheat in the spring just based on those two points? Please take it seriously... don't Just a Jinshi, what does it matter if he is a talented person who won three yuan in a row?!"
"Three yuan?" Princess Qingfang had a strange look on her face, "I don't know if there is an expert behind the scenes to guide me, or if I am young and deep in the city, I posed a problem to the Queen Mother at that time. No, it’s not a matter of winning three yuan, but winning six yuan in a row—that’s something that has never happened since ancient times!”
Seeing Aunt Zhao frowning, she spread her legs, "So aunt knows why he is in trouble, right? Now the queen mother, as far as the Meng family is concerned, is inclined to promote him, and has even planned to win over their brothers and sisters; and my father is Of course the king will resolutely oppose it, and if he doesn’t, then it will be a mistake!"
"If he hadn't... learned later that we had ruined his chance of everlasting fame, do you think something would have changed?"
