Early in the morning of the next month, Sheng Weiqiao was sleeping soundly when Lu Jin hurriedly pushed her awake. While pulling her up to wash herself, she told her quickly: "The head of Jingshu County sent his maid Wangyou to bring something." , what exactly was the one promised to the young lady yesterday? Wangyou also said he didn’t know, so he said that County Master Jingshu had packed it himself, and she didn’t see it either. Miss, please get up quickly, the County Master has a distinguished status, Her maid is here, and she didn’t bring anything with her, so you have to go out to meet her in person and say a few words to her!"
Sheng Weiqiao has been pampered since childhood, and it is never too early to get up.
When I first came to Chang'an, because I was living in Ningweihou Mansion, I was embarrassed to be lazy, so I gritted my teeth and got up early for a few days.
Later, because of Xu Caikui's expulsion order, he moved out of the Marquis Mansion and lived in Sheng Lanci's house. There were no elders at the front who wanted to greet him, and the so-called eldest brother Sheng Suihe in the middle was indulgent, so he continued to sleep in with peace of mind. .
Well, she usually got up late, and last night she struggled for a long time because of Huan Yehe's arrival. She didn't go back to sleep until it was almost dawn - it was naturally very difficult to get up at that time.
Lu Jin and Lu Qi could coax or dissuade, pull or pull. Even though they had used all their skills, time had already passed when Sheng Weiqiao could reach Wangyou in the small flower hall renovated from the wing. For half an hour.
The tea in front of Wangyou had no color at all. Fortunately, Wangyou didn't show any dissatisfaction because of this, so he took the initiative to welcome Sheng Weiqiao, greeted Sheng Weiqiao in a polite manner, and said with a smile: "The county master said that Miss Sheng will come again." When I go to the palace to see the Queen Mother, I asked my servant to say a few words to the people around the young lady."
Then please give Lu Jin and Lu Qi some guidance on the preparations they should make when accompanying their master to the palace and some rules and taboos after entering the palace.
Sheng Weiqiao originally thought that Wangyou asked to see her just to meet her out of politeness, and he just said a few words to her and gave her something, but he didn't expect that she had such intention of coming, so he refused after being slightly startled. He was overjoyed and said: "Thank you very much! Thank you to the county master!"
"You're welcome, Miss Sheng. The county master said that the young lady is very popular with the Queen Mother. There will be more opportunities like this in the future. Sooner or later, you and your servant will get acquainted with each other. Will my slave be able to follow the order of the county master?" Just for eating and drinking." Wangyou pursed his lips and said with a smile, "But I don't know which sisters you will bring into the palace tomorrow?"
Although Sheng Weiqiao had received an oral order from the Queen Mother, asking her to enter the palace with Sheng Weiwu and Gongsun Yingjiang tomorrow, but she was not familiar with the Queen Mother tomorrow, and she was not of high rank. Naturally, she could not bring many Dong people into the palace - three The girls can each take at most one maid.
After hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao turned around and told Jinli: "Go and call Tian'er next to Eighth Sister and Mei Xian next to Ying Jiang!"
She then looked at Lu Jin and Lu Qi beside her. Although they were both her right and left-hand men, and they were treated and relied on equally, Lu Jin was much more stable than Lu Qi, and she made fewer decisions. There are many, so I don’t deny Lu Jin, “Lu Qi helps him move the box given by the county master to the wing room. I’ll leave Lu Jin here to learn from Miss Wangyou!”
After she said that, she naturally planned to give up the small flower hall to the maids for advice.
There is nothing we can do about it. The house is too small now. As the owners, they are reluctant to live in the wing, and the maids' living quarters are even more crowded.
When I was in Nanfeng County, the big maids like Lu Jin and Lu Qi didn't have separate rooms.
There, three or four people had to squeeze into one room - but that meant they had preferential treatment. In Didong's case, there were seven or eight people sleeping in one room.
There was nothing I could do about it, Sheng Weiqiao's traveler brought as many things as his servants, but the house that Sheng Lanci bought from the owner was not big
Therefore, it is not convenient for Wangyou to live in the maids' residence now. After much thought, the small flower hall used to entertain visiting stewards, maids and the like is suitable.
The small flower hall is on the side of the main room. In terms of location, it is exactly opposite to the study room of Sheng Sleeping Crane, separated by the main hall in the middle.
Even so, after Sheng Weiqiao went out, he was worried that Wangyou would take the opportunity to have some contact with Sheng Suihe, causing Huan Ye to hide the truth. Thinking back to it, she was negligent last night and made Sheng Suihe swear not to go. When looking for Huan Yehe, he didn't say that when Huan Yehe took the initiative to come to Sheng Suihe, he also asked him not to make any small moves.
So Sheng Weiqiao hesitated for a while and then sent the maid Jinli: "I'm watching from the east corridor. Don't ask Wangyou to go to the main room or study to ask Wangyou for advice soon!"
Jinli didn't know what she was thinking, so he was shocked when he heard this: "Miss, could it be that Miss Wangyou mistook our young master...?"
"What are you thinking about?" Sheng Weiqiao, dumbfounded, knocked something on her head and said angrily, "I'll just do it, don't think about it!"
After saying that, he went into the side room.
After entering the wing room, I opened the box. As expected, in addition to a few books, there was a thick stack of manuscripts with notes written in several fonts on the front - there was an unsealed letter at the end. .
Sheng Weiqiao picked up the letter and opened it. Huan Yehe didn't know if it was for some reason. He didn't write a title or signature, so he simply explained that according to her inquiry, Meng Bijun, the fourteenth young lady of the Meng family, was reading the ones in the box recently. Those books, and then the notes she chose, could also be based on Meng Bijun's interests.
So after Sheng Weiqiao received the items, don’t worry about anything else and just carry them!
"That Meng Shishi is really strange! The Meng family is not from a scholarly family. Why does she like elegance so much?" Sheng Weiqiao looked at the pile of books and thick notes and felt sad, "She just Can't you like something more approachable?! For example... "
Well, for example, if you don’t go to the east, for someone like her who is tired of homework, there is really nothing to like and approachable... Unless Meng Shishi is as tired of homework as she is and has nothing to do all day long and can only taste everything...
"He said that Chang'an was not suitable for him, and he must beg to return to Nanfeng County as soon as possible!" Sheng Weiqiao, who had never done any work in his life due to his doting parents, barely memorized a few pages of notes before feeling dizzy. I can’t survive the confinement period!
Sheng Shuihe was obviously the one who came to Chang'an to take the exam, so why was she the one who was forced to endorse it now?
In "The Meng family's troubled waters are difficult to navigate", "Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. As the mother of the emperor, the queen mother is not a proper tigress, how can we ignore it", "The Houmen is as deep as the sea, let alone the palace?! It's already very good to have someone to give you advice now. If you don't cherish it, you will regret it later if something goes wrong." Waiting for her to be vigilant and whipping Dong, she managed to stay up until noon, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and called Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiwu into her room. , let them carry it together!
When Gongsun Yingjiang heard this, his head suddenly became as big as a bucket, and he directly begged for mercy: "Auntie, please let him go quickly! I told you earlier that he can't study! When he sees the book, he wants to hit the wall. I really want him to carry it... I also Don’t think about it, if he had that kind of talent, he would be so disliked by his husband?!”
Does Sheng Weiwu want to help her cousin? The problem is that her upbringing environment is the same as that of Sheng Weiqiao: pampered and pampered. Just asking her to be happy is completely meaningless!
Therefore, the miserable nine-year-old girl still doesn't know many words. She recited a few sentences and asked, "Does that word mean something?" Not to mention her own results, she even had to give her an explanation. Sheng Weiqiao was so confused that she couldn’t even carry it!
"Forget it, Eighth Sister, I haven't been in a good state of mind for the past two days. Those things don't belong to Sister, so he can come alone!" After a while, he realized that doing so would be self-defeating, so Sheng Weiqiao coaxed her back to the room, "Fortunately, Not much left.”
When Gongsun Yingjiang saw this, he stood up without saying a word: "He went to play with Aunt Wu!"
Take the opportunity to escape!
Sheng Weiqiao knew that she had no hope, so he didn't bother to keep her. After studying alone in the wing for a while, he felt that he couldn't bear it anymore. He picked up the box, went out and knocked on the door of Sheng Suihe's study!
Gongsun Yingdun heard the sound and came over to open the door for her. He consciously wanted to call his aunt, but when he heard a cough behind him, he suddenly remembered that he was no longer in the presence of the well-educated Young Master Shaohai on Tortoiseshell Island, but in front of the eldest son of the Sheng family. He was a newly promoted boy, so he naturally had no right to call Sheng Weiqiao "aunt" - he had been trained too hard during those months, and he had just been trained by Sheng Suihe, and he didn't dare to show any emotions at that time. Come, he lowered his head and said: "Miss, please come in!"
Saying that, get out of the way.
Does Sheng Suihe inside know what Sheng Weiqiao Mingyue is doing? When he saw her carrying the box sent by Huan Yehe through the door, he guessed the purpose of her visit and smiled: "Good girl, I'm not working hard in the wing, what are you doing here? ?”
Sheng Weiqiao put the box on the empty space on the writing desk in front of him, swung his legs to let Jinli and Gongsun Yingdun go out, watched them lead the door, and then asked with a sad face: "Brother, do I have any special endorsement skills? County Master Jingshu, have you considered it carefully? Can they ask for an audience in the palace tomorrow? I have seen so many things, how can I remember them?"
She could only count on Sheng Suihe now - after all, that person had only studied at a young age. Although he had a good chance to meet the emperor's master and had an advantage in talent, he must have some flaws in his wrong way of studying. Experience.
