However, Sheng Weiqiao firmly disagreed with using Sheng Weiwu as an excuse. Sheng Suihe coaxed her for a long time, and finally could only target Gongsun Yingjiang, implying that Gongsun Yingjiang took the initiative to ask for help.
Gongsun Yingjiang doesn't care about such trivial matters. After all, the Gongsun family she came from has specialized in burning, killing, and looting people for four generations. She has done too many immoral things. If there is really any retribution, it will be a lot of debt. No need to worry.
But before Gongsun Yingjiang could convince Sheng Weiqiao, Meng Guihuan came to the door in person.
Her arrival surprised everyone in Shengzhai.
What’s even more surprising is that she is here to deliver the invitation!
"The tenth day of the first lunar month is the birth of my fourteenth sister. The family decided to celebrate her well, so we sent invitations to girls of the same age from various families who have always been friendly to each other." Meng Guihuan handed over three copies of incense painted with gold. After the post, he explained, "No, cousin Wuyang said before that you sisters should join in the fun. Our aunt also nodded, and the Zheng Guogong Mansion naturally took note of it. It should have been delivered by the steward of the Zheng Guo Gong Mansion. Here is a post, I thought that you have never been to my uncle’s house, so I took this job over and told you some details, so that you won’t feel at ease when you go there for the first time!”
She thought she was here to announce the good news. After all, with the current status of the Sheng family, wouldn't it be a happy event to be able to attend a banquet at the Duke's Mansion, or a banquet celebrating the birthday of the prospective successor
Little did she know how desperate Sheng Weiqiao was: when Princess Wuyang mentioned Meng Shishi's birthday, she had rejected it in her heart, but when she went to the palace for the third time to meet the Queen Mother, neither the Queen Mother nor the girls of the Meng family mentioned it. I thought they had forgotten about it, so they didn't worry about it.
I escaped a disaster, but who knows it will be until the end of the year, but this post is still here after all!
The terrible thing is that if this invitation was sent by Zheng Guogong's steward, Sheng Suihe would naturally come forward. Then according to the just-decided rhetoric, he would directly lie to Sheng Weiqiao and the others that they were sick and wanted to come to Zheng Guogong's mansion and were in high spirits. When Meng Bijun celebrated her birthday, she definitely didn't want any patients to disturb her mood.
However, in order to implement the instructions of seventh brother Meng Guihan, Meng Guihuan was seizing every opportunity to establish a good relationship with Sheng Weiqiao, so he took the initiative to take over the job.
When she came to visit, the Sheng family didn't know the reason for her visit. Seeing that she was a female guest, of course it was Sheng Weiqiao who came to entertain her.
Not only that, because Sheng Suihe didn't want to stay in Chongxin's residence for a long time, he arranged for his subordinates to use Sheng Weiwu as a cover to achieve the purpose of leaving in advance.
This time Meng Guihuan came to the door, had a brief chat with Sheng Weiqiao, and then asked about Sheng Weiwu's situation.
Sheng Weiqiao was worried about her suggestion of asking an imperial doctor for help, so he told the truth that Sheng Weiwu was fine and that last time it was just a false alarm.
And Meng Guihuan asked Sheng Weiwu, and also asked Gongsun Yingjiang out of politeness. By the time she came out with the post, Sheng Weiqiao had already personally proved that whether it was Sheng Suihe, herself, Sheng Weiwu or Gongsun Yingjiang, in short, the entire Shengzhai Up and down, from master to servant, everyone is strong and able to eat and sleep in a good state!
If someone falls ill temporarily under this situation, a fool would be suspicious!
Meng Guihuan, who didn't know what was going on, sincerely rejoiced for them: "Fortunately, Miss Eight just had a false alarm last time and it was nothing serious! Otherwise, the birthday party will only be held in a few days. If it is not ready by then, it will be missed." It’s such a pity to attend! You must know that this time not only our sisters but also nieces, almost half of the young women in the court will attend!”
The more Sheng Weiqiao listened, the less he wanted to go. He could no longer hold back his polite smile and asked with a forced smile: "Although I have met Miss Fourteen twice in front of the Queen Mother, I still don't know Miss Fourteen because I have never had a chance to talk." What is Miss’s preference? What kind of suitable gift should I prepare at that time?”
"Everyone in Chang'an knows Shi Shi's hobbies. She just likes reading." Meng Guihuan smiled, "But at our age, we don't need to give anything too expensive. Just prepare one as a four-color gift. In the final analysis After all, this banquet is mainly for us girls to get together."
I don't know what she was thinking, but she suddenly felt sad, "After this banquet, most people will probably leave the government this year, and I'm afraid they won't have the leisure time they have now."
"You don't necessarily have to be busy after leaving the pavilion." Sheng Weiqiao saw this and comforted her, "Maybe Miss Eleven's future husband will be considerate and teach you that it will be no different after leaving the pavilion than at your parents' house?"
Meng Guihuan's face turned red when he heard this, and he whispered: "My brother said that after the gold medal comes out in a few months, he will look for a husband for me. But I hope it will be like what you said, and I will meet someone who can treat me well." It’s better.”
Although what she said was true, it was actually mainly to tell Sheng Weiqiao that I wouldn't be able to stay at my parents' house for a few days! So when you choose your son-in-law, take my sixth brother into consideration, and you don’t need to worry about your sister-in-law being an eyesore!
For the purpose of recommending her sixth brother, she thought for a while and then said, "Actually, young couples can generally tolerate each other. For thousands of years, the biggest headache for girls like us in their youth is still... The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
The implication is that young talents like my sixth brother, whose parents have died, have a house and a title, are definitely rare, so don’t miss it if you come across them!
How could Sheng Weiqiao know what she was thinking? Hearing this, she thought that Meng Guihuan was worried about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after leaving the cabinet, so she smiled and said: "Miss Eleven is the niece of the Queen Mother, how can your future mother-in-law dare to neglect you? Besides, your brother loves you so much. , I must find you a kind family. Although there have been conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law since ancient times, there are still mothers-in-law who are considerate of their daughters-in-law in this world! Miss Eleven may be loved and protected by her mother-in-law as her own daughter in the future. Call you In front of the elders, your husband is a head shorter than you!"
Meng Guihuan was speechless for a moment, then reflected on it and thought that this was all because his sixth brother had not yet formally contacted Sheng Weiqiao. No wonder Sheng Weiqiao didn't realize there was something in his words.
In order to avoid wasting her efforts, she simply spoke more clearly: "When it comes to the issue of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I really envy my future sister-in-law! My family has a simple population, and my brothers and sisters have a good relationship. My seventh brother He also often teaches us two sisters that we must respect our eldest sister-in-law in the future and don’t let our elder brother and sister-in-law worry about us anymore!"
However, she had only met Meng Guiyu once. Under Sheng Suihe's analysis, Sheng Weiqiao, who still had a certain degree of suspicion about this man, continued to understand his mistake and comforted him: "The world is so big, no matter what kind of family it is, Yes. You are really afraid of getting along with your parents-in-law. When the gold medal comes out, ask your brother to ask you carefully. Maybe there is a family like yours where the parents have passed away, the population is simple, the brothers and sisters are harmonious, and the brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law all know how to respect the elder sister-in-law. ?”
Having said this, I found that Meng Guihuan's face seemed very...sad
Sheng Weiqiao was stunned, realizing that he might have made a mistake, and quickly made up for it, "Actually, I think brother Ling, I mean the seventh son of your family, should just talk about it. After all, you are his biological sister, how can you be his brother? Instead of caring for your sister, you feel sorry for your sister-in-law? When the time comes, if you really have a conflict with your sister-in-law, your brothers will definitely be on your side. The relationship between flesh and blood cannot be severed. How can the relationship between uncle and sister-in-law be compared? of?"
She thought she should have spoken to Meng Guihuan's heart now, and encouraged her with a smile on her face, "If you feel that your brothers will stop loving you after you leave the cabinet, there is no need for that!"
Meng Guihuan: "... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... "
never mind!
There is ample time!
My sixth brother is so good, as long as he doesn't give way to his eldest aunt, he will always call Miss Sheng San "sister-in-law"!
"I guess I'm too impatient. In the eyes of Miss Sheng San, Sixth Brother is just a foreigner I've met once." Meng Guihuan summed up his experience, "That's me, and Miss Sheng San is the only one." This is the fourth time we met, and we can’t say we are very familiar with her! I’m rushing to give her all kinds of hints right now, but it’s really ineffective! It’s better to be friends with her first, and when Brother Six comes into contact with her in the future, we can start playing tricks!”
With this in mind, Meng Guihuan stopped promoting his sixth brother, and instead told Sheng Weiqiao about the affairs of Duke Zheng's Mansion:
Meng Hui, Duke of Zheng, who is over sixty years old, now has a total of nine children, six daughters and three sons. According to the eldest order, they are the eldest daughter Meng Bilun, the second daughter Meng Biwen, the third daughter Meng Lifei, the fourth daughter Meng Licyan, and the third son Meng Boqin. The eighth young master Meng Boheng, the fourteenth young lady Meng Bijun, the fifteenth young lady Meng Lijiang, and the tenth young master Meng Sian.
The rules for naming the eldest, second, and third generation children of the Meng family are all the same. The first daughter's name is from "bi", and the last word rhymes with "wen".
The legitimate son is from "Bo", and there is no restriction on the suffix.
The concubine comes from "Li", and the suffix comes from "Si".
The concubine comes from "si", and the suffix is as unlimited as the legitimate son.
Zheng Guogong's eldest daughter Meng Bilun and second daughter Meng Biwen, as well as the eldest son Meng Boqin, were descended from the original wife Zhong. It is said that Mrs. Zhong had a similar temperament to the Nan family. She was quite jealous and had no choice but to give birth to two daughters in succession. Under the pressure of her parents-in-law, she had to let Zheng Guogong take in two concubines, and the third daughter was the third lady Meng. Li Fei and the Fourth Miss Meng Li Cyan.
However, after all, Mrs. Zhong and Duke Zheng were a young couple. Zheng Guogong still regretted the death of his wife, otherwise he would not have continued their relationship for many years after her death. It was not until Empress Dowager Meng recommended the personal female official Xiang that the palace of Zheng Guogong There is a hostess again.
Children are more valuable than mothers. Of all the children under Duke Zheng's knees, the two daughters and one son born to Mrs. Zhong naturally have the highest status. They are the most valued by Duke Zheng and the most favored by Empress Dowager Meng.
But because sisters Meng Bilun and Meng Biwen have already left the court and have several grandchildren, they have a large family to take care of. It’s not that they don’t have time to go back to their parents’ home during the New Year. Meng Boqin’s family, except for Meng Shuangxiao, are all in northern Xinjiang, so The current Duke Zheng's mansion is most proud of Meng Lijiang and Meng Sian, the children of Aunt Jiaoyu, who was deeply loved by Duke Zheng.
Mentioning these two, Meng Guihuan frowned slightly and reminded Sheng Weiqiao with a somewhat unnatural expression: "On the day of the banquet, you should stay away from their siblings to avoid any trouble!"
"That was the birthday banquet held for the Fourteenth Miss. The Fourteenth Miss is deeply loved by the Queen Mother, and her biological mother is now Mrs. Zheng Guo. At her birthday banquet, could the Fifteenth Miss and the Tenth Young Master do anything extreme? "?" Sheng Weiqiao was surprised when he heard this, and thought that something was wrong when he saw Meng Lijiang repeatedly making trouble in the Xinshou Palace. Now, listening to Meng Guihuan's tone, is Meng Lijiang still planning to smash Meng Bijun's birthday party? The place
Is there anything wrong with this girl's mind
No matter how much Duke Zheng dotes on his biological mother, his aunt Jiaoyu, is it difficult for him to be able to defeat Empress Dowager Meng
Not to mention, Meng Bijun is the unofficial successor!
Even if the country pays attention to filial piety, the emperor of heaven and earth, the master, the master, and the emperor are in front of each other. When the parents of the concubine see their daughter, if they are not exempted, they must kneel down and pay respects, as a courtesy from the whole world.
Meng Lijiang is trying every possible means to stir up trouble. Aren't she afraid that Meng Bijun will kill the three of them after she becomes the successor
Or is there some unknown inside story here
"Well, these two cousins of mine are used to being spoiled by my uncle, and they have always been impatient." Meng Guihuan was a little helpless when he heard this, and said to himself, I can't tell you, my sixth brother thinks that I That eldest aunt is too harsh and not suitable for long-term dealings, but because her biological daughter is the default successor, she has to continue to seek refuge, so you plan to use the hands of Aunt Jiaoyu and her daughter to kill her, right
