Seeing this, Sheng Weiqiao glanced at the man consciously: a man in his early twenties, with a golden crown and jade hairpin, wearing a sable fur, and when he raised his legs, he revealed a sleeve with duck egg green and dark embroidered lotus and chrysanthemum patterns. , the slender red knuckles are like jade carvings set off by the guard hairs of the mink fur, shining brightly.
He is a bit taller than ordinary people, probably about the same as a sleeping crane. His figure is tall and graceful, like bamboos growing in the snow or green pines on the edge of a rock. When talking to Ike Zuoji, he has to lower his head slightly, so he can't see clearly. appearance.
Just the act of whispering to Chi Zuosi while walking, but it was indescribably graceful, soothing and calm.
"Is that Miss Sheng San?" Sheng Weiqiao was guessing the identity of the man, but Chi Zuosi had already noticed them. He nodded apologetically towards the man, turned around and said in surprise, "Isn't that the one who serves in the side hall?" Mianyun?"
Sheng Weiqiao went to explain: "Aunt Wei Yu just accompanied him to see the snowman built by Miss Meng's Sun and his niece. I didn't want to get hurt in the middle, so I wanted to ask for leave from the editor to clean up. The aunts and sisters in the side hall are responsible for It’s not easy to leave. He just happened to be free, so he helped my aunt come over there. If there is anything that is not in line with the rules, please forgive me!"
Hearing this, Chi Zuosi turned his eyes around Mianyun, noticed the blood stains on her skirt, nodded slightly and said, "If you are injured, go and clean it up! Otherwise, your appearance will not be in good shape, and it will lose the dignity of his Xinshou Palace." "
She was in charge of the Xinshou Palace in the east. After saying that, two palace attendants came and took Mianyun from the lap of Master Sheng Weiqiao. Mianyun reluctantly bowed and thanked Chi Zuosi, and then whispered After thanking Sheng Weiqiao and Lu Jin, we retreated to the east.
After watching Mianyun leave, Sheng Weiqiao glanced at the man sent out by Chi Zuosi. The man raised his head, revealing a handsome and heroic face: the sky is full, the mountain roots are straight, and the long hair flies into the temples. To the east of his eyebrows, a pair of eyes as black as paint, shining brightly like stars on a cold night.
Sheng Weiqiao was sure that she had never seen him before, but the outline of that person gave her a subtle sense of familiarity. Just as she was wondering, Chi Zuosi introduced them to them: "The daughter of Sheng Lanci, the doctor who refused to advise, is at home. Number three.”
He also pointed to the man, "That's not a great believer."
"Wish you all the blessings, Lord!" Sheng Weiqiao suddenly realized that he was Meng Guihuan's brother - the two siblings were actually very similar in appearance, one was not as masculine as a man, the other was not as soft as a woman, and the other was not as soft as hers. We were not very familiar with Meng Guihuan, and it was only the third time Mingyue had seen each other, so we felt familiar instead of recognizing him immediately.
Because of the dispute when Mingyue entered the side hall, Sheng Weiqiao didn't have much favorable impression of the Meng family as a whole, and wished to stay away from him.
Meng Guiyu, the Chongxin Bo in Bu Nao, was not an ordinary member of the Meng family. He had a father who hated Empress Dowager Meng and his brothers and sisters Zheng Guogong, Wu'anhou, and Chengyanghou, so he raised a younger brother and two younger sisters. , it made Empress Dowager Meng, Zheng Guogong and other aunts and uncles misunderstood that they were so fond of each other. At such an age, with such legs and wrists, and with an unusual appearance, Sheng Weiqiao could not help but be secretly curious about how young she was.
After saying "Blessings", I couldn't help but look at him furtively.
Meng Guiyu noticed it and smiled gently at her. His eyes were bright but not sharp, and his smile was clear and generous, with a generous and indulgent meaning. Bu Nao's generosity was not like a man's pampering towards a beautiful girl, but rather like an elder brother pampering his naughty younger sister.
Therefore, Sheng Weiqiao was not disgusted, so he looked away in a sullen voice and said to Tongchi Zuosi: "Qi Si, will his eighth sister be in front of the Queen Mother?" Don't you know she's a good girl? Have you made the Queen Mother angry? "
"Please don't worry, Miss Sheng San!" Chi Zuosi laughed when he heard this, "My sister is naive but cruel, and the Queen Mother doesn't like it very much. My sister seems to have a good climate in Chang'an, and she is very promising to accompany the Queen Mother just now." The lady was tired after playing with the cattails for a while. The Queen Mother specially summoned the imperial doctor to diagnose her sister and prescribe her a nourishing prescription. The small kitchen specially prepared a decoction for her to drink. Ruming was behind the Nuan Pavilion. She is asleep and will probably not wake up until evening. The Queen Mother has ordered not to disturb her. Please come and excuse yourself when the time comes. It will be just in time to pick her up."
Sheng Weiqiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said gratefully: "The Queen Mother is so kind to me. I am deeply touched. I really don't know how I can repay the Queen Mother!"
Empress Dowager Yu Meng said that she wanted to call an imperial doctor to show Sheng Weiwu, but it was just a matter of words.
But for the current Sheng family brothers and sisters, hiring an imperial doctor for Sheng Weiwu is definitely a trivial matter - even if they can hire one, they will definitely be asking for a huge favor, and they might get themselves into trouble with endless consequences. .
Otherwise, Sheng Weiwu had been withered for many months. Although the doctor they brought from Nanfeng County said that it was not a big problem and that it would be fine as long as the weather got warmer. Sheng Weiqiao had already urged Sheng Sleeping He to get a surgery for his cousin. The imperial doctor took a look.
But I didn't expect that tomorrow, Sheng Weiwu would be called to the Nuan Pavilion to shut up by Empress Dowager Meng, and that such a good thing would happen.
Chi Zuosi said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager likes pretty girls like our sisters the most. Miss Sheng San led her sister to be a great niece. She often came to the palace to relieve the Empress Dowager's boredom. Even if she repays the favor to the Empress Dowager, ."
Before putting this aside, Sheng Weiqiao must have tried every means to refuse.
But now Sheng Weiwu had just received the favor from Empress Dowager Meng, and she couldn't refuse it either emotionally or rationally, so she had to agree to Dong Lai: "Thank you for your advice, I beg the Empress Dowager not to dislike it. They will definitely come to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager often in the future!" "
Having said that, Sheng Weiqiao planned to say goodbye to Chi Zuosi and go back to the side hall. After all, she was also very familiar with Chi Zuosi - the latter was more or less arrogant when she first came to the palace to meet him. Together with her, there was another mistake, Meng Guiyu, who Sheng Weiqiao said was his foreigner, was here. Even if the country's atmosphere was open, Sheng Weiqiao did not intend to stay there any longer.
Unexpectedly, Chi Zuosi suddenly asked: "Will Miss Sheng San wait for Dongqiu to return to the side hall?"
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao nodding, he smiled and said, "That's just right. You can take Uncle Chong Xin with you by the way. Uncle Chong Xin is looking for Miss Meng Shiyi!"
Hearing this, Meng Guiyu frowned slightly, seeming a little surprised.
Sheng Weiqiao was also surprised. He was not a palace member of Xinshou Palace, and he didn't know Xinshou Palace as his own home. How could he lead the way for Chong Xinbo
Seeming to sense her doubts, Chi Zuosi said seriously: "It's only a few steps from there to the side hall. Although Miss Sheng San doesn't come to Xinshou Palace many times, she probably knows her when she comes." Moreover, the number of people serving at the Nuan Pavilion is originally certain. The two people who just sent Mianyun away will not be able to come back for the time being. We will send someone to guide Chongxinbo in case there is any need for the Queen Mother and Mrs. Xiang in the middle. Just ask for help. So I can trouble Miss Sheng San. "
—Then I can let Meng Guiyu go to the side hall by himself!
—If he is the Queen Mother’s nephew, he must be much more familiar with Xin Shou Palace than he is!
—And that’s where the Queen Mother lives, and there’s a harem full of flowers and concubines. As the Queen Mother’s nephew, what’s the big deal about walking a few steps alone in her aunt’s palace
Sheng Weiqiao secretly cursed that she had to ask him to take him there, because she always felt that there was something extraneous about it!
It's not a big deal for Bu Nao to slander her. Chi Zuosi explained it all, and Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but refute the empress dowager's confidant, so he nodded: "Uncle Chongxin, please follow him!"
Because she suspected that Chi Zuosi had some agenda in his arrangement, after saying that, Jie Donglai fell silent and walked half a step ahead to guide Meng Guiyu.
But after leaving Chi Zuosi, Meng Guiyu took the initiative to ask: "Miss Sheng San, your brother's teacher, can you please be your master?"
He asked if he could talk about other things. Sheng Weiqiao was wary and might not be willing to pay attention to him, but he mentioned Sheng Suihe and asked the same question as the teacher. Sheng Weiqiao, who was feeling guilty, almost exploded. She realized that her legs were hidden in her sleeves. He pinched his palms, tried hard to keep his calm expression, and coughed dryly: "As far as he knows, my brother has always been under the personal guidance of his father - Bu Nao. Both his father and his grandfather had high hopes for his brother, so he had I sent someone to collect a lot of articles written by everyone in the world for my brother to ponder."
In the latter sentence, did she suspect that Meng Guiyu asked, could Meng have noticed something from the writing of Sheng Suihe's essay to obtain Jie Yuan? After all, Sheng Suihe's homework was in the name of Sheng Lan Ci. In fact, it was cultivated by Huan Guanlan!
Although Sheng Weiqiao did not study hard, he also knew that Huan Guanlan was not a great Confucian in the world, and his academic attainments were not as profound as the country recognized in the east.
Countless people have studied and studied every word and phrase of such a person. His style of writing, choice of words and sentences, ideas of writing and even handwriting, etc., have long been familiar to people in Tiandong.
As his only disciple in his later years, it was hard for Sheng Suihe not to be influenced by his teacher—could there be a flaw there
Sheng Weiqiao was thinking rapidly in her heart, wondering if she could get by with the excuse that Sheng Lanci and Mrs. Sheng had used to find many poems for Sheng Suihe.
Just as he was nervous, he saw Meng Guiyu nodding his head clearly and said: "A few months ago, I heard from my uncle and cousins that your brother has profound skills. Compared with your father in the past, he is still better than his master. I wonder if your father will become an official in the future. During those years when I returned home, I cultivated my moral character and became more knowledgeable."
Sheng Weiqiao squeezed out a cold sweat and laughed dryly: "It's embarrassing to say that his talent in poetry and calligraphy is average, so he doesn't know very well what father and brother's knowledge is!"
During the years when her father returned home after serving as an official, he was not busy doing business, colluding with pirate gangs to sell stolen goods, and in his spare time, he was being a filial husband and husband - where did he find the time to cultivate his character!
As for knowledge, if you ask for permission to maintain an elegant literary friendship with the county magistrate and other local officials, you will probably lose it long ago...
Feeling guilty at that moment, Sheng Weiqiao secretly rejoiced that Chang'an was far away from Nanfeng County. When he returned later, he would immediately write a letter to his own father to give a wrong confession, hoping it would be in time!
"In a girl's family, poetry and books are a must to learn." Meng Guiyu didn't know what she was thinking, so he said with a smile, "His two younger sisters on the east side are also very cruel. Wrong, his family is eleven. , have you met Miss Sheng San in Bishui County?"
When Sheng Weiqiao heard the words "Bishui County", his already nervous mood suddenly became as tense as a string stretched to the extreme. He could not maintain his calm appearance at all. The word "alert" was written from head to toe. , stammered: "No, I've seen you there! No, I've just met you once!"
She wailed "It's over" in her heart, wondering why she was so unsatisfied? Even a fool can see that there is something wrong with that reaction!
PS: I deliberately didn’t write clearly in the title who I met... Wouldn’t it be so considerate!
