In terms of number, Mrs. Sheng’s knees have five male grandchildren, even excluding the faceless Sheng Suihe!
But in terms of talent and Ziren, those five male grandsons combined are not as good as Xu Baomo from the Xu family? !
How could he answer that question
He was glad that he didn't take his grandson to Xu's house because it was too late!
When Sheng Lanci heard this, she helplessly comforted Mrs. Sheng: "Uncle Xu Shi is old, don't argue with him, just let him go... Besides, when you compared your son with him, did your son earn more for you? Are you embarrassed?"
"When I call that old boy Shishu, it doesn't mean I'm not Shibo. I'm much older than him! Why should I let him go?!" Old Mrs. Sheng showed his son's elbow and turned it outward and yelled, and then became even more angry. "Precisely because I have never lost to those old guys compared to my sons, so how can I lose to my grandchildren?!"
I think back then, when Sheng Lanci was named on the gold medal list at a young age, paraded through the streets on horseback, and was given a banquet by Qionglin, how many old brothers would envy her
Regardless of whether Xu Baoting's son Xu Zijing is now a Marquis of Ningwei and has a high position of power - but whether Xu Zijing was a Marquis due to his military merits, Shidong emphasizes that all products are of Eastern quality, but only good academics.
In particular, Xu Baoting came from a poor family. In the army, he met Mr. Sheng, who came from a wealthy family, and learned a few words from him. I'm afraid he doesn't even recognize his own name now!
Therefore, the old marquis admired scholars the most. Sheng Lanci, who had been a Jinshi, even if he retired to the countryside, in his opinion, was more promising than his son, the marquis!
"For so many years, I have asked you to mention me. There is no old guy like Lao Xu who is unwilling to bow to the east wind!" Old Mrs. Sheng recalled his glorious achievements when fighting for his son, and his old face couldn't help but bloom with a trace of sincere pride, but thinking of it Eye Dong suddenly turned depressed, "Well, everyone wants to be a great-grandfather, and they don't want to be compared to their sons, but to their grandsons. But the grandsons of his Sheng family..."
Can’t even take out the legs, okay? !
Including Sheng Weide recommended by Sheng Shuihe, he is not honest and honest, but when put together with the talented and handsome Xu Baomo, it would be an exaggeration to say that he is lackluster!
Old Mrs. Sheng looked at his son angrily, "So what's so good about me comparing my granddaughter to that old boy?!"
Sheng Lanci realized that if he gave a bad answer at this moment, Dongchang would definitely be taught by his father to be a man by force, and decisively praised him: "Dad, it is called using one's own strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses. This is in line with the art of war and seeking justice, which shows that father You will get stronger with age, but your sword will never grow old... Xu Shishu wants to defeat you, but he is simply delusional!"
"So if I drive Xu Baomo away now, how can I feel proud?!" Mrs. Sheng patted his son on the shoulder and said kindly, "Anyway, I said it, otherwise he is flirting with Qiao Er, and it's not like Qiao Er Look at him, how happy it is to watch him go and please our Qiaoer! When I get tired of seeing him, I will drive him away!"
Sheng Lanci vomited blood and said, "But my dear girl is young and has a simple mind. What if she is really coaxed by him?!"
"Then let the Xu family come to propose the marriage!" Thinking of that situation, Mrs. Sheng's face suddenly flushed and his eyes shone, "When the time comes, I will definitely ask Lao Xu to come in person! After that, let him see with his own eyes how low his grandson is. Sheng Dongqi pleases my granddaughter, hahahahahahahaha... "
After laughing, he couldn't help but feel displeased when he saw his son's expression as if he were mourning for his heir, "Old Xu and I have been friends for many years, and I don't know the details of the Xu family. The two children are really destined, isn't it a good thing?" For the sake of our father and son, the Xu family must not treat Qiao Er badly!"
"But my son really doesn't want to be his father-in-law right now!" Sheng Lanci jumped to her feet, "My son is just a daughter, and I really hope she can stay with her for a few more years!"
Old Mrs. Sheng said impatiently: "Then let's get engaged first! Let the Xu family boy wait a few years before getting married - what a big deal?!"
Sheng Lanci saw that her father was resolute and did not dare to say anything for fear of being beaten, but she secretly decided in her heart that she must be prepared to receive Donglai: on the one hand, she tirelessly told her daughter how ill-intentioned Xu Baomo was; Take advantage of the landlord to prevent Xu Baomo from seeing his daughter!
Unexpectedly, he had just made up his mind, but he heard Old Mrs. Sheng say: "Wrong, Wei De, don't you want to accompany Bao Mo on the trip? I thought about it and felt that it would be a bit deserted if it was just the two of them traveling. Why not make the family bigger? The children are all gone, and by the way, the girls can also go out and relax."
"Father, you can't do that!!!" Sheng Lanci suddenly went crazy, "Why don't you send your granddaughter to the wolf's mouth?!"
Originally, he was worried that Xu Baomo would seduce his daughter away. Mrs. Sheng was very afraid that Sheng Weiqiao would not be tempted, but he tried his best to create opportunities for Xu Baomo - so why did he want to find an opportunity to anger Xu Baoting? Then do you want to bring two children together at all? !
Sheng Lanci didn't think the Xu family was bad, but was he really reluctant to choose a family for his daughter now
"So, I don't agree?" Mrs. Sheng turned around and asked in a deep voice.
Sheng Lanci knew his father's temper, but as for his daughter, he said firmly: "No, my son will not be able to obey his orders!"
Before he finished speaking, he was unexpectedly kicked away by Mrs. Sheng!
"I just said it would be good to have a son!" After a while, Mrs. Sheng flexed his muscles and walked out of the main hall, snorting coldly, "If you don't obey me, you can beat me as much as you want! It's not like a girl, she cried to me without raising her hand. —Dare to go against my will, do you really think that I am too old to be able to seduce me?!"
He casually called a boy to him and said, "Go to the big room and say something. He has something to send Lan Qi to do. He has to go out for March or May. It's very interesting to talk to Qiao'er, Rao'er and Che'er. Let's talk about it." They also packed up and went out with Weide and his party to see things!"
The Sheng family has been denying Sheng Lanci the right to take charge of the overall situation for many years. If there is an unexpected incident in the property in other places, it is natural that the head of the family will not be able to handle it - so the eldest son received the news that Sheng Lanci had requested to go out for a few days on the order of the old man. Yue Shi had no doubt at all.
Sheng Weiqiao said to the boy who passed the message: "Has dad gone out already? If I see dad in front of my grandfather when I go back, help him and tell dad that the snacks he brought back in February are very delicious. If there are places where I went that time, bring him a few more copies!"
After the boy resigned with all his disapproval, she continued to tell Ms. Feng what happened in the garden, "...and then Xiao Qiao left just like that! Mom, tell me, what should I do if he begs now? He obviously didn't do anything, Xiao Qiao. At that time, Qiao acted as if he had robbed her husband, how could that be done?"
Feng Shi smiled when she heard this and said comfortingly: "I wonder how embarrassing it would have been if I had not been Jiuniang's child? She had left in shame. I really wanted to hold her, but she didn't push me away. Are you going to let me stay there and continue to embarrass you? Speaking of which, have I been careful about that?"
Seeing that her daughter was thoughtful after hearing the words, she added, "Wu'er is young. Although I heard that Jiu Niang was worried about me, I may not be able to persuade her. In my opinion, I might as well talk to Jiuniang myself. Let's talk and clear up the misunderstanding - my sisters, why do we have to hold grudges over such a trivial matter? Anyway, I don't like Prince Xu!"
Sheng Weiqiao was a little reluctant: "He and Xu Shixiong have nothing to do with each other. It's just that Xiao Qiao misunderstood him. Now I beg him to explain to her first. Why?"
"Look at how stingy I am!" Ms. Feng pointed her forehead with her finger and said angrily, "What about my direct cousin? Why didn't I tell her that she had left me alone since she was a child? Now that she is in a bad mood, I will go and comfort her. Isn’t it right to coax her? My mother always taught me that I should be considerate to my hostess, let alone my sister?”
Sheng Weiqiao was convinced by those words, stood up and said, "Okay! He will go find her then!"
The place where Shen Jiuniang lives is the boudoir in front of Sheng Lanxin's pavilion. It is called Qiyue Tower. There is a courtyard to the east of the building. Sheng Weiqiao took Lu Jin and knocked on the courtyard door for a long time before a little maid came to open the door. When she saw her, she was frightened. He apologized: "I was working behind the scenes and didn't hear the knock on the door. Please forgive me, Miss Second!"
"Why are there so few people waiting there?" Sheng Weiqiao walked in, looked at the empty courtyard, and asked in surprise, "He remembers that his aunt and uncle brought a lot of people with them when they came!"
The little maid explained: "My aunt and my aunt went back with their two cousins yesterday. Now my cousin lives there alone, so there are fewer legs to serve."
On the day of his grandfather's birthday, Sheng Weiqiao went to the ancestral hall to reflect. Little did he know that Sheng Lanxin and his wife had already left with their two sons. Hearing this, he couldn't help but pursed his lips with guilt: Let Shen Jiuniang stay alone after her birthday. The idea of coming here was not hers!
Could it be that Xu Baomo had no intention of mistaking Shen Jiuniang? Thinking about it this way, it’s no wonder that Shen Jiuniang left in a hurry in the garden!
She felt guilty. After entering, she went upstairs and saw Shen Jiuniang lying on the couch with a quilt. She didn't say hello when she heard she was coming. After everyone else went east, she softly called "Xiao Qiao": "He came to explain to me that he and Brother Xu Shi have nothing to do with each other. I don't want any misunderstanding!"
"Why did he misunderstand me?" Shen Jiuniang stiffened for a while after hearing this, and said hummingly in the quilt, "He is not a fool - I didn't want to help him at that time, it was his own fault for not living up to expectations. If you can't stand the eyes of the prince, you have to run away!"
Sheng Weiqiao was originally afraid that she wouldn't believe it, or didn't want to believe it. Seeing that she was so sensible, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then he has no vision. Xiao Qiao, I want talent and good looks. I will definitely find him in the future." A husband who is a hundred times better than him, let him regret it when the time comes!"
Even though Shen Jiuniang was full of embarrassment, she couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this: "My grandfather had a deep friendship with Mr. Xu. In his life, he was not even qualified to say a word to a person of his status! It's very strange. A husband who is a hundred times better than him, Da Qiao, I won’t ask to coax him, even though he has some wishful thinking, he is not so stupid that he will wake up all his life!"
She pushed away the quilt and turned her head, revealing a pair of red and swollen eyes. It was obvious that the stimulation brought to her by that scene just now was definitely not as relaxing as it was now.
Shen Jiuniang didn't want to show weakness, so she saw her cousin asking for words to comfort her, and said first, "Let's forget about his matters there! It's too late tomorrow, so he will ask his grandmother to send him off tomorrow. Go back to the Shen family—fortunately, apart from me, no one else knows about the absurdity, so it won’t make him embarrassed to see his parents!"
Sheng Weiqiao was used to being the jewel in the palm of her hand, and she had never been able to coax her into comforting her. She had never comforted them at all. After hearing those words, she didn't know what to say. She paused and then said, "I'll stay here all the time." Well, why bother leaving in such a hurry? I'm afraid that after I go back, my aunt and uncle will become suspicious and ask. Isn't it troublesome? Why not just go to his mother's place and learn painting for a few months? "
"Studying painting is just a pretense." Shen Jiuniang sighed and said, "I wonder if he really likes painting? But my aunt returned to Feng's house at that time, and my grandmother and his mother were thinking about it, so they talked about it. It’s just an excuse!”
She explained Dong's foreign affairs in a few words, and when she saw her cousin racking her brains to coax her, her heart softened, and she couldn't bear to brush off her good intentions, so she said, "He doesn't want to disturb my aunt, but I beg you, do you really want to accompany him?" If we want to relax, let’s go to the market together?”
As he spoke, he took out a small target mirror from the east side of his pillow and looked at it. He then stroked his forehead and said, "Oh my god! Why is it swollen like that? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I must not go to my grandma tomorrow, or she will ask her why - he It will probably take three days to return to normal, then we can go out and play together again?"
Unexpectedly, Sheng Weiqiao didn't answer her immediately, but looked troubled.
"What's wrong?" Shen Jiuniang was confused.
"... Grandpa just sent someone to the big house, saying that he and his third sister, who are very close to each other, should pack their luggage together and travel with the eldest brother the day after tomorrow." Sheng Weiqiao originally didn't plan to tell Shen Jiuniang the news, but he was afraid of it My cousin misunderstood that she didn't want to travel with her, so she could tell her now, "So if Xiao Qiao wants to go out in three days, I'm afraid he won't be able to accompany me!"
"..." When Shen Jiuniang invited her to go to the garden with Sheng Weiwu, she had already heard them say that Mrs. Sheng planned to send Sheng Weide to accompany Xu Baomo to play nearby.
Hearing this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked at his cousin blankly for a moment. Just as he was looking at Sheng Weiqiao, he closed his eyes and said lightly, "That's it!"
