As soon as Sheng Weiqiao heard this, she asked to go back to the front hall to thank Meng Guiyu with Sheng Suihe. Seeing this, Meng Guihuan didn't care about the New Year's Eve banquet. After all, that was all she said. Can Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwu make an exception to attend? The New Year's Eve banquet mainly depends on whether Queen Mother Meng remembers these two sisters, which is not the decision made by Meng Guihuan.
The two of them left Meng Guihuan's boudoir. When they arrived at the front, Meng Guiyu had already changed into regular clothes with crab shell green and dark embroidery with chrysanthemum patterns. He sat in the hall and was talking to Sheng Sleeping He. From their Judging from their facial expressions, it can be said that they were having a great time chatting.
Seeing the two girls coming, I was busy greeting them again.
After sitting down like this, they chatted for a while as usual. Sheng Suihe and Meng Guiyu both praised each other's sister, of course, mainly for their virtue and blessing.
After talking like this for a while, Meng Guihan saw that it was almost time for dinner, and was about to ask for a meal. Unexpectedly, a servant came in hurriedly at this time, saying that someone was sent from the Sheng family house, and said that Miss Eight suddenly came. Gongsun Yingjiang, who was left behind because he was complaining of dizziness and was not familiar with medical science, was worried that something might happen, so he invited Sheng Suihe and Sheng Weiqiao to come back and take charge of the overall situation.
Sheng Weiqiao's face changed with fright when he heard this. Sheng Suihe was also surprised and said: "Eighth sister just had a bit of cold before, but she got better later. She went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother two days ago. Why did she suddenly feel dizzy just two days ago?" Already?"
The servant of the Meng family who came in to report the news said blankly: "I don't know, but the man looked very anxious and almost rolled off his horse!"
Naturally, the Meng family could no longer keep food at this time, so they could only send the brothers and sisters away in a hurry. According to Meng Guihan's eagerness, he wanted to go with him to the Sheng family's house to help.
But just when he revealed this, Sheng Suihe said: "We brought the doctor here. The eighth sister is not feeling well, so the doctor must have looked at it first. It is probably because the niece is in trouble, and he panicked first when he saw something happened to the eighth sister. My hands and feet are so messed up that the whole house is in a mess, so I have to come over to find us. Now we brothers and sisters will go and have a look. If there is anything needed, we will definitely not refuse your kindness!"
So even though Meng Guihan wanted to leave a good impression on the Sheng family, he could only regretfully take back his words about going to the Sheng family's house: As Sheng Suihe said, their house is now in a mess. My family still wants to go there, isn't this going to cause trouble for them
Originally, he could have proposed to hire an imperial doctor for help, but Sheng Suihe also said that they had brought a doctor. Before Sheng Suihe said that he did not trust the doctor he brought, if Meng Guihan suggested to introduce an imperial doctor to them, It is inevitable that he looks down on the Sheng family and thinks that the doctor they hired is not good.
Although the medical skills of imperial doctors should be better than those of Nanfeng County doctors, Meng Guihan's main purpose was to establish a good relationship with the Sheng family, and he was not seriously concerned about Sheng Weiwu's safety, so he would not commit the crime. This kind of mistake is made with good intentions but bad consequences.
"Even if I didn't find a chance for Sixth Brother to talk to Miss Sheng San alone today, judging from Master Sheng's attitude just now, I think Sixth Brother should have a good impression of him?" After seeing off the Sheng brothers and sisters, Meng Guihan followed Walking in behind Meng Guiyu, he thought, "That's fine. Sister Eleven will be responsible for dealing with Miss Sheng San later. Brother Six and I will try to win over Mr. Sheng. As long as Brother Six likes Miss Sheng San, we won't have to worry." This marriage can’t happen!”
He felt that his plan was correct, but he didn't know that after a while, Sheng Suihe and Sheng Weiqiao returned to the house. Sheng Weiqiao was about to take the lead to see Sheng Weiwu, but Sheng Suihe grabbed him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, eighth sister, what?" Nothing happened, I asked Ying Jiang to calculate the time and send someone to Chongxin Bo’s Mansion to find us!"
"Bastard!" Sheng Weiqiao was startled, then he realized it, but he was furious, pushed him hard, and shouted angrily, "You are so busy that you asked Ying Jiang to make up some bad reason, insisting on making up the eighth sister to be dizzy. ?!”
Sheng Weiwu's wilting these days was enough to worry her. She finally got the help of Empress Dowager Meng and asked the imperial doctor who specialized in diagnosing empress dowagers and emperors to prescribe a prescription for the little girl. She has only been taking it for two days, but no obvious results have been seen yet. Well, Sheng Suihe said, "My little sister is dizzy and must say goodbye", and it was just before the end of the year. How could Sheng Weiqiao not be annoyed that he was getting into Sheng Weiwu's bad luck
"In order to make it impossible for the Meng family to stay and not to appear rude, it is best not to let them see that we did it on purpose. Apart from this excuse, what other excuses are suitable?" Sheng Suihe looked innocent, "Let's talk about eight more. My sister has great blessings, how could something happen if I just say something?"
Sheng Weiqiao stepped on him angrily and warned fiercely: "If anything happens to the eighth sister next, you see how I will deal with you!"
Then he angrily ran to see Sheng Weiwu.
Sheng Weiwu was fine, but she felt a little bored. She said to Sheng Weiqiao: "This place is too small. The small garden next to it is not as big as the courtyard of the boudoir where we lived in Nanfeng County! I want to play with the maids. Hide-and-seek is no fun, there are only a few places to hide it, you can find it as soon as you look for it.”
"Just bear with it!" Sheng Weiqiao encouraged her, "When the weather gets warmer, we can almost go back."
She was afraid that Sheng Weiwu's children would be impatient, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the Lantern Festival after the New Year, it is said that the lantern festival will be huge! Let's go out to play together, it will be very lively!"
Sheng Weiwu is looking forward to it: "Lantern Festival? We also have a lantern festival in Nanfeng County, but our girls are not allowed to go out at night, so we can only stand upstairs and look at the festival from a distance. I remember that the fifth brother went out to play last year and gave it to us when he came back. Each brought a rabbit lantern, which was so fun! Unfortunately, he said that he had spent all his monthly money and could not afford to buy too many. Otherwise, there would be many other styles of lanterns! This year we are in Chang'an, and our parents, uncles, aunts, and grandparents Grandma and the others are not here, but we can go to the street to see it by ourselves, haha!"
Suddenly he was in high spirits, and said to his left and right, "Quickly count how much money I have on hand. If it's not enough, take some things I don't use often and sell them, so as not to miss the money during the Lantern Festival and be like the fifth brother who saw something funny." You can’t buy the delicious food!”
"No, no, no, no!" Sheng Weiqiao quickly stopped, "We must go to the lantern festival together during the Lantern Festival. Since my brother is here, why don't we have to pay? My brother has a lot of money given by his elders, which will definitely be enough for us. If you spend it, how can you raise the money by selling things?”
She secretly wiped a cold sweat, and said to her heart that it was really no wonder that her grandfather wanted to drive out her second uncle. Look at what a good little cousin has become under the influence of this second uncle's eyes and ears.
She knew at a young age that she didn't have enough money, so she just took things out to sell. How does this prodigal attitude make her look like a nine-year-old girl? !
Speaking of which, when Sheng Suihe first entered the house, the reason why Sheng Weiwu had the money to go to Tianxiang Tower to hire a sister to frame her brother in public was because she sent all the jewelry she received from her elders during the festival to the pawn shop!
Such boldness and energy, even at the risk of bankrupting the whole family, to vent her anger on her sister...
Even Sheng Lanci, as the eldest uncle, felt very speechless after finding out what happened. He really didn't know whether to praise his niece for her close relationship with his beloved sister, or to advise her not to always be with the unsatisfactory Sheng Lanci. study
"But the maid and wet nurse before the eighth sister have been dismissed. She won't do similar things in the future, right?" Thinking of the embarrassment on Mrs. Sheng's birthday, Sheng Weiqiao thought with fear, "But Her habit of selling what she has when she has no money needs to be changed!"
... To say that Sheng Weiwu was only seven years old at the time and was able to do such a defrauding thing to the whole family was also related to the intrigues of the people in her house: her wet nurse had a conflict with her eldest maid at the time. After knowing Sheng Weiwu's plan, she persuaded her to let the eldest maid. The maid will do this.
The reason is: "You are about to be released as a maid, and she will not continue to serve you! Why not let her behave well in front of the eldest lady, and then the eldest lady will be happy, and maybe kick her out openly, okay?" How about giving an explanation to the whole family, secretly finding a good family for her, and letting her leave the palace in a glorious way? This will also end the relationship between master and servant that she has to serve you, won't it? "
After convincing Sheng Weiwu in this way, Sheng Weiwu told the eldest maid what she said. When the eldest maid hesitated, the wet nurse said to the eldest maid in private: "You are really ignorant! What do you think you are? Are you a noble person? If our lady gives you face, you are just a slave. If we don't give you face, what are you different from that pig or dog? You don't even use a mirror to look at yourself. You have followed the lady to enjoy life and have fun all these years. You think you are also the master. Is it a success?!”
"You know how close our young lady has been to the man in the eldest house over the years. Now that the young lady wants to show her loyalty to that man, it is a compliment to use you! You are not accustomed to it, and you are still wandering around. ! Have you forgotten that your body deed is still in the hands of the Sheng family? If the Sheng family wants you to live, you can live. If the Sheng family wants you to die, do you dare to die?!"
"Even if our wives are all compassionate, you will be among those released next year. Then you will be matched with a vicious-mouthed and ruthless widower. Those people will most hate a petite, flower-like girl like you. Son, I guarantee you will die of torture within a few days after leaving the cabinet!"
"It will be too late to regret it by then!"
He scolded the maid who was only seventeen years old, and then coaxed her, "This is an opportunity for you to show your face in front of the eldest lady! If the young lady hadn't chosen you personally, I would be so old as to go into battle myself! You!" I don’t even think about it, the foreign wife said she recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan, but the ancestral hall has not opened yet! It’s just the beginning of the year. If our eldest master is really so eager to welcome the foreign wife’s return, can we still wait until the end of the year? ?”
"It's obvious that this is just a temporary measure to help the old man and his wife."
"Once the eldest lady is happy during this period, just watch and see where the wife came from and where she will go back!"
"Otherwise, after the outer room came in, the eldest man would go to Feng's house to be with Xiaolian. How many days would he be a lowly child and still ask the eldest lady to come back?"
"It can be seen that the status of the eldest lady in this family is still as solid as a mountain!"
"Don't think that the outer concubine is the only male heir of the eldest son at present, so he must be the person in charge in the future, so you are afraid of offending him! As long as the eldest wife is here, he is nothing! You will be the one next year The person who is released will not stay in the Sheng family for thousands of years, are you afraid of him?!"
"Don't give me the opportunity to let the eldest lady personally intervene in life-long matters now. You deserve to be a fool like you and never get ahead in your life!"
The eldest maid was young, and she was the third wife of the Sheng family. Taking into account that her daughter was still young and simple-minded, she specially chose a character that was honest and dull, so as not to bully and take advantage of her daughter in private. Naturally, she would not have a smart mind. A sophisticated person.
At that time, I was worried about getting married as I got older. How could I resist the wet nurse's persuasion with such a eloquent tongue
So after hesitating for a long time, he went to Sheng Weiwu to express his stance that he was willing to obey...
Fortunately, Ms. Xiao later begged Ms. Feng in private because she had served Sheng Weiwu for many years, and finally found her a banker who was equally honest and honest.
As for the wet nurse who deliberately caused trouble, she was beaten and kicked out of the Sheng Mansion, and she no longer had any relatives.
At this meeting, Shengwei Qiao thought about the past and couldn't help but take a warning. She decided not only to correct her cousin's wrong ideas, but also to keep an eye on the people around her to avoid repeating the same mistakes and ruining her good life. younger sister!
While he was thinking about it, Jinli came from outside and reported with a strange look on his face: "Miss Third, two women came outside, saying they are here to see our eldest son!"
