—Speaking of which, when you played against Sheng Sleeping Crane that day, you probably didn’t show any flaws, right
Xu Baomo faced Sheng Lanci's fierce gaze that said: "Stay away from my daughter", "I've seen through your little kid's thoughts a long time ago", "If you seduce my daughter again, I'll kill you", Xu Baomo shrank his head with guilt. : This is his first time talking to Sheng Weiqiao alone! How could he be caught by his own father and not even mention it, but his own father would still be on guard against him
Could it be that this prospective father-in-law was so well-informed that he found out his true identity in such a short time? !
Xu Baomo suddenly had a premonition that his legs were not safe...
But the truth is—
After a while, the father and daughter said goodbye to Xu Baomo and on their way back to Chengchun Terrace, Sheng Weiqiao complained dissatisfiedly: "Dad, don't you see a young man with me and think that he will take advantage of me, okay? It’s so embarrassing!”
Although she inherited the advantages of Sheng Lanci and Feng's appearance and could be regarded as a little beauty with bright eyes and white teeth, she never felt that she was so beautiful that everyone could love her - otherwise, how could Xuan Yuche be so beautiful? Speak ill of yourself in public
"My dear girl, you are young and don't understand the dangers of people's hearts!" But Sheng Lanci rejected her daughter's request as always, and said sadly, "Don't look at the fact that Xu Baomo is the heir apparent, and he looks so romantic and handsome! Listen to me, dad. Let me tell you, someone who knows people but doesn’t know their hearts may not be a good match, so you can’t let him coax you into it!”
Sheng Weiqiao said angrily: "Brother Xu Shi only said a few words to me because you had a good relationship with his father! Where did you think you were?!"
Ever since she was ten years old, as long as a young man of the same age, except a servant, would chat with her on a crowded street, Sheng Lanci would immediately put him in the " "You bastard! How dare you take advantage of my daughter", be on strict guard and treat them like thieves!
After Xuan Yuche bribed the servants of the Sheng family and tried to flirt with Hongyan, Sheng Lanci felt more and more that there shouldn't be too many beasts trying to take advantage of her obedient daughter!
After going back and forth like this, Sheng Weiqiao felt annoyed when he heard him telling him to be on guard against so and so!
"Dad has been tired of this method of hooking up from getting close to each other a few years ago!" However, Sheng Lanci didn't find it annoying! He said earnestly, "My dear girl, you must listen to my father. You must not be deceived by these brats with ill intentions! You must know that my only daughter is you..."
While they were talking, they had already entered Chengchun Terrace. Sheng Weiqiao saw Feng standing in the courtyard waiting for them. He took a few steps to meet them and complained loudly: "Mom! Dad just told me that he started hooking up with someone by getting close. I got tired of it a few years ago! It can be seen that he has been seduced by this method many times. You must interrogate him carefully and don’t bring me another brother back to me in two days!"
Sheng Lanci was stunned when he heard this: biological daughter? !
Seeing the shocked expression on his face, Ms. Feng almost laughed on the spot and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, dear! Mom will never let him go easily!"
The servants all around couldn't help but laugh. After laughing for a while, the family of three entered the room and sat down. The servants served tea. Sheng Lanci picked it up, blew it, and put it down again. Then she became solemn and talked about business: "These two My parents have visited many families, and I think the matters at the birthday banquet will be basically suppressed in three to five days. Of course, the public discussion will definitely not be affected, but those people will not be able to come to us anyway!"
At this point, he told Sheng Weiqiao, "Don't go out for the next two days, just stay out of the limelight!"
"When you can go out in the future, there will inevitably be people who talk about this matter." Mrs. Feng then reminded her daughter, "You don't have to pay attention to it, just follow what your father said at the time and deny everything - if people are unwilling to give up, don't give them anything. Save face! My parents are responsible for everything!"
If Xuan Yu and Feng were to know about this advice from the couple, they would definitely sneer three times: I really don’t know how much virtue the ancestors of the Sheng family have accumulated, but such a conniving method is not used to cause disasters that cause heaven and earth!
However, Sheng Weiqiao was used to it. She had never seen her parents speak harshly to her. At this moment, she nodded calmly and asked her cousin: "I just asked her to help me chase Xiao Qiao. She returned to the third room." Have you? I don’t know if the third uncle and the third aunt will scold her?"
"Dad just told your third uncle. Since you all know that you are wrong, why bother to beat and scold her?" Sheng Lanci hurriedly expressed her merit, "Your third uncle should not scold her. If you don't worry, tomorrow When you sisters see me, go and ask them - you are a good girl and you never forget to care about your sister!"
Sheng Weiqiao had long been numb to his own father's praise of him. He didn't pay attention to it at all. He was brewing his emotions and was about to start telling his experience in the ancestral hall. At this time, a boy suddenly came to the door and told him: : "The eldest man, the eldest lady, and the second young lady: The old man sent someone over and said that he has something to discuss with the eldest man!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Feng hurriedly said: "Father calls you, go quickly!"
Sheng Lanci was a little confused, because after he came back from outside, he first went to the Forbidden Snow Hall to report to Mrs. Sheng.
When I was returning to Chengchuntai after finishing my conversation at the Forbidden Snow Hall, I heard someone say that I saw my daughter walking towards the garden, so I temporarily diverted to the garden and saw the scene of Xu Baomo coaxing his daughter - so little Time, why is Mrs. Sheng looking for me again
You must know that he has always been in charge of the Sheng family's property, so if something happens at the Zhuangzi shop outside, the manager will go directly to the main room to report it, and will not go to Old Mrs. Sheng.
Sheng Lanci arrived at the Forbidden Snow Hall in confusion, only to find out that the matter that Old Mrs. Sheng was looking for him had a lot to do with what he saw in the garden: "Just now, the child holding Mo was alone with Qiaoer? What were they doing?"
"What else could he do?" Sheng Lanci asked puzzledly, "Of course that boy was trying to seduce the good girl. Fortunately, the child got there in time - why did dad ask this?"
Old Mrs. Sheng glanced at him sideways and asked instead of answering: "Are you sure it's Bao Mo who's trying to get Qiao'er's idea, not Qiao'er pestering Bao Mo?"
Sheng Lanci almost wanted to vomit blood: "Dad?!"
He was now sure that, regardless of whether Guainan was his biological daughter, Old Mrs. Sheng was definitely Guainan's biological grandfather—did anyone say that about his biological granddaughter? !
"It's not like you always praise Qiao'er from head to toe. If you don't ask me a question, how would I know if you habitually say good things about Qiao'er?" Old Mrs. Sheng snorted, "It seems that you are really trying to criticize Qiao'er. Are you interested?"
He suddenly beamed, slapped his thigh hard, and said happily, "Hey! Lao Xu, it's useless for you to boast to me that you have a good grandson. In the end, you are not asking for my granddaughter?!"
Then he gave a thumbs up to his dumbfounded son, "Qiao'er is indeed my direct grandson! Although she is unruly, willful and unreasonable, squeamish and a bit arrogant, everyone has their own preferences for carrots and vegetables and can charm Lao Xu's grandson. That’s her thing!”
Sheng Lanci immediately jumped to her feet: "Dad, can you please touch your conscience when you speak?! My dear girl is smart, sensible, filial, gentle, considerate, smart, beautiful, tolerant... Why does it come to your mouth that she is unruly, willful, unreasonable, and coquettish? Is she a bit arrogant?! That is your direct granddaughter, how could you say such mean things to her?"
"There are no outsiders here!" Old Mrs. Sheng said angrily, "Just the two of us, how can we pretend to be smart, sensible, filial, gentle, considerate, smart, beautiful, and tolerant? Aren't we all outside? Are you praising me in front of others?! Otherwise, do you think Lao Xu will shamelessly give me his grandson and force me to bring him back?!"
Sheng Lanci heard that this was wrong and hurriedly said: "Wait! Dad, what do you mean...that boy came to our house?!"
"Of course I'm here for Qiao Er!" Mrs. Sheng sneered again and again, "When I go back to Lao Xu's place, what do you think happened to that old boy? He actually showed off his grandson to me with great enthusiasm! It's that Xu Baomo - Said that he passed the autumn examination last year. If Marquis Ning Wei had not suppressed him because he was afraid that his son would get carried away, he would have taken part in the Spring Examination in Chang'an at the beginning of this year! That boy is only seventeen years old this year! He is handsome and good at riding and shooting. , no matter how good at studying, he is even older than my grandchildren!!!"
When he said this, Sheng Lanci, who was well aware of his own father's temper, had realized it!
"So dad, you think you have no grandson who can compare with Xu Baomo, so you drag your little girl out to compete with Xu Shishu?" Sheng Lanci sighed deeply, "Then, Xu Shishu believed what you said, so he sent you away Xu Baomo came to our house. If he wants to be close to the water, he should get the moon first?!"
Seeing Mrs. Sheng nodding proudly, Sheng Lanci was angry at first, "I just said that that boy was unkind! Why didn't you believe me?!"
Then he said cautiously, "I will send that boy back to his home tomorrow!"
If he can't convince his daughter, he can drive away the people who have ideas about his daughter!
Just when Sheng Lanci felt that he had foresighted and killed a potential enemy again - Mrs. Sheng suddenly jumped: "How dare you!!!"
"Father, please don't be confused!" Sheng Lanci quickly reminded him when he saw this, "Although you and Xu Shishu have a life-long friendship, you can't get along with your direct granddaughter just for this friendship! That kid Bao Mo She has a frivolous face and doesn't seem to have an honest and honest temperament. How can she be suitable for a good girl? Besides, my good girl is only thirteen, so the matter of leaving the cabinet can be postponed for two years!"
"I don't care whether Qiao Er agrees with the Xu family or not." But Mrs. Sheng said firmly, "But you can't drive that kid away!"
Sheng Lanci said in astonishment: "Why?"
Since his father had no intention of getting married to the Xu family, why did he insist on keeping Xu Baomo around and plotting against his daughter all day long when he wasn't paying attention
"Because seeing Lao Xu's most proud grandson running after my granddaughter, I feel relaxed and happy. The sky is clear and the air is clear. You bastards are much more pleasing to the eye!" Old Mrs. Sheng twirled his beard with one hand and put his hand behind his back. Behind him, he walked back and forth in the hall before humming, "I think about the days when I lived in Xu's house. That old boy, Lao Xu, was dragging me around all day long. Please write a calligraphy for me today." Make it right; draw a picture tomorrow for me to appreciate; invite me to go hunting the day after tomorrow and comment on his riding and shooting..."
The old man's expression became uglier as he talked, "What else is there to do like playing chess, playing the piano, making tea, throwing kettles, Cuju, and acanthus... The most hateful thing is!!!"
—Every time Xu Baomo performed well, Xu Baoting would smile and say to Old Man Sheng: "No, no, this kid is definitely far behind Brother Sheng's grandchildren! Oh, that's right, Brother Sheng, Why didn't you bring your two grandchildren here this time, so that this kid of mine could know how high the sky is and how high it is? To prevent him from being so proud!"
Every time this time, Mr. Sheng felt like he had been hit by an arrow in his knee...
