"Hurry up and stop saying that!" The cook said that, feeling sorry for her lover and feeling aggrieved that he was scolded by Sheng Weiqiao in public. She hoped that she could use Sheng Suihe's status to get some revenge on Sheng Weiqiao.
Maybe the cook didn't know that Sheng Xiang had wronged Sheng Wei Qiao Yang in secret, and she thought that he had always been loyal to his duties, but she was so humiliated by Sheng Wei Qiao, and she felt uncomfortable.
However, Sheng Xiang was just relaxing with his eyes closed, but when he heard this, he almost jumped like a carp!
Pressing the cook's legs, he said quickly and quietly, "The eldest young master... he made the mistake of the third lady..."
But did he remember that after Sheng Weiqiao asked for the charm potion and the sweat potion, Sheng Suihe privately summoned him to understand the situation.
Sheng Xiang was already married and had children. Ruming's wife and children were all in Nanfeng County on the way to Chang'an, so he secretly had an affair with the widowed cook. leg.
Although Sheng Suihe didn't reveal the whole story to him that month, how could he not notice the eldest son's secret love for Sheng Weiqiao? !
The one who wants to be the younger sister keeps making unreasonable arguments with the older brother who has only recognized his ancestors for two or three years. The elder brother may easily feel aggrieved and then become unhappy.
However, if the woman and her lover were not making unreasonable troubles, then the man would be particularly intolerable when he was in the mood.
Although Sheng Xiang didn't know if Sheng Weiqiao was also wrong about Sheng Suihe having such unethical feelings, he begged Sheng Suihe to admire his sister fiercely and be willing to pamper and let her go. If he went to complain, wouldn't he be courting death? !
"The eldest young master is very fond of the third young lady. He did not express his dislike for the third young lady in January. We, the hosts, would say bad things about the third young lady. Not to mention that it would annoy the eldest young master. The old master asked us to come to Chang'an. , how can I not only serve several masters, but also try my best to smooth things over for them?" Sheng Xiang did not dare to reveal the secret, even if the cook in front of him did not give birth to a child in the Sheng family, he pondered for a while, He sighed and said, "It turns out that instead of fulfilling the old master's instructions, we are rushing to instigate discord between the two masters... I said the old master will let us go?"
He was talking absent-mindedly to the cook, but he thought in his mind: "He thought it was a good choice to seek refuge with the eldest young master. Did he not expect that he would know such a secret... What will he do in the future?"
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know how frightened Sheng Xiang was at this moment. After she had a fit, she saw that the hostess in the house was indeed doing things much more efficiently than before, and their speech and behavior were all very respectful. Did she feel satisfied first? But after thinking about it, he felt annoyed: "Those bastards! His Sheng family has always been generous to Dong Dong, and he has never treated them badly regardless of whether the monthly payment is a reward or a festival reward. It turns out that he left Nanfeng County only in front of the elders. How many months? Those people are actually so lazy! Are they bullying their juniors at all!!!"
She secretly made a note in her mind, saying that spring was just a few days away, and she would return to Nanfeng County in a few months. There was no need to write a special letter at this moment, because the long journey back and forth might not be enough. When the reply arrived, she had already left. How about when she went back, she would personally scold those people in front of Sheng Lanci and his wife, and let them know how to bully the young master!
The girl had enough time to argue with the guests, so it was natural that Sheng Suihe didn't mess with her again.
After all, Chunwei is really only a few days away.
Although Sheng Suiheyan and Dongyuanji Tan no longer have a wide circle of friends, whether it is Ningwei Houfu or Sheng Lanci's friends who were in the same year as they had visited before, they sent stewards to send gifts representing high school at the door in the past two months. , there were also words of encouragement sent.
In addition to those families, Meng Jiayan, the eldest grandson of Marquis Wu'an, who he met in the Night Pavilion, also sent someone to send him a set of four treasures of the study and some words... Yishan, according to Gongsun Xi's instructions, deliberately revealed those words to Sheng Weiqiao came forward: "Meng Yushi was very optimistic about our eldest son, and hinted that if the eldest son passes the Huiyuan exam in the spring, he will betroth his sister, the sixteenth grandson of the Meng family, to the eldest son!"
"My parents make the final decision on marriage matters, what does it have to do with him being a sister?" Was it Gongsun Xi who was eager to provoke, or was Sheng Suihe too deeply troubled by the past, and it turned out that only Si Dong and Sheng Weiqiao admitted their background, so that Gongsun Xi was not sure about Sheng Suihe's life experience, and even mistakenly thought that Sheng Weiqiao was the one who didn't know anything, so he hoped to use that news to make Sheng Weiqiao feel sad and stop thinking about Sheng Suihe.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Weiqiao would listen. Although he was not very happy, he was not too touched, because after Sheng Suihe passed the exam, he would resume his status as a clan member after taking full advantage of the Meng family.
Considering the long-standing grudge between the Meng family and the King of Gaomi, how could the two families get married
To put it ten thousand steps back, even if they get married, it will probably not be a political compromise, and both husband and wife will not be sacrificed.
So at this moment, Sheng Weiqiao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what he said: On the last night of the Lantern Festival, could they have formed an affair with Meng's second wife and the direct grandson of Wu'an Marquis in the Night Pavilion? The affair was quite big!
Although everything was quiet in the Shengzhai during those few months, the girl was still thinking about it.
At that time, Meng Jiayan, Gao Chengxuan's direct cousin, sent someone to deliver something, and even wanted to recruit Shuihe as his brother-in-law. The grudge should have been resolved, right
So at this moment, he said coldly, "There is no need to repay him for that kind of thing in the future. If we are so idle every day, we will have so much time to talk about the master's shortcomings? Please ask him to sell some people, so that we will not be too idle. Why don't you do it?" Serious business?!”
Thinking of the scene where she summoned servants to beat her and the threat of "beating her to death", the people of Didong suddenly didn't dare to say anything.
That incident passed so calmly, and the time soon came to the ninth day of February, and spring was about to begin!
Since Sheng Weiqiao was still angry at being wronged by Sheng Suihe, of course he didn't plan to take the exam.
In fact, Sheng Suihe knew that the girl was used to sleeping in, and he couldn't bear to let her accompany him to the gate of Gongyuan before dawn, squeezing around, and after a long while, he refused to see him entering the Gongyuan. So the two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't mention that matter.
But at noon the day before, just before dusk on the eighth day of February, Xu Caikui suddenly came. Did she come specifically to invite sisters Sheng Weiqiao to give their brothers the exams the next morning
Of course, there is some reason to find a reason to get close to Sheng Weiqiao and to dissolve as much of the original grudge as possible.
Sheng Weiqiao had a headache when he heard this, and said politely: "His brother thinks they are a hindrance if they go, so let them stay at home! Anyway, even if they go, they won't be able to help much. There is no need to ask him to do the opposite." Worry about their safety on the way back."
"Do their elder brothers like to talk about this and that!" However, Xu Caikui didn't understand what he meant. After hearing this, he thought that she really wanted to go, so she stopped Sheng Suihe and said it, fearing that she would go there later. Being disliked by Sheng Suihe, he smiled and said, "It's as if we are useless as sisters and can't live without their protection for a moment... Of course, that doesn't mean that Brother Sheng Shi loves us. That's why he begged to come here Invite us together! That way if we go in and out as a group, he will promise to send us back there properly, so Brother Shengshi won't be worried, right?"
In fact, it’s no wonder that Xu Caikui didn’t expect that Sheng Weiqiao didn’t want to give Sheng Suihe the exam. After all, from the perspective of Ye Jiaoyi, whether the ceremony is related to the stability of the country; from the perspective of the candidates, whether it is related to them and the people behind them The family's future and destiny, its ups and downs.
It is no exaggeration to say that on that day, even if the entire Mu Dynasty in the east was paying attention to this matter, at least there were no scholars who were not concerned about it!
What's more, should the family members of scholars be examined
At such a time of urgent need, and no elders of the Sheng family were in Chang'an, how could Sheng Weiqiao, the biological sister, not be worried? Even if he knew that she had gone to the gate of Gongyuan, there was nothing he could do for Sheng Sleeping Crane, but!
She definitely won’t be able to walk at home!
Let her go to take the exam, and at least she will see Sheng Sleeping He enter the Gongyuan gate safely; if she is not allowed to go, then she may be so anxious in the house!
... Sheng Suihe's elder brother is not a man after all, and he is taking care of his sisters. He doesn't know how to be considerate of the girl's family, and he actually suppresses Sheng Weiqiao from taking the exam!
Xu Caikui thought he had found a place where he could help Sheng Weiqiao, so he enthusiastically refuted all the reasons why Sheng Weiqiao couldn't go!
Inspired by "making atonement for one's sins", she felt that her eloquence had never been so good in her life. She was so eloquent that her literary thoughts came flooding out. Sheng Weiqiao was speechless and speechless!
In the end, seeing that Sheng Weiqiao couldn't find an excuse to refuse, he reluctantly agreed to Donglai. He thought she was listless, but he was worried about whether Sheng Suihe would get what he wanted, so he spent a long time praising Sheng Suihe. Sheng Weiqiao was so talented that he almost wanted to vomit blood when he listened, so he reluctantly said goodbye because he was about to go to the curfew.
Then, the next month, Sheng Weiqiao reluctantly got up in the dark and gave Sheng Suihe the exam.
Originally, she was thinking that her cousin Sheng Weiwu was young, so she kept Gongsun Yingjiang as her companion. It turned out that Gongsun Yingjiang slept in the dark. After being shaken awake, he hugged the quilt tightly and refused to let go, saying, "Anyway, Miss Xu asked her aunt to invite her. In this case, her aunt just wanted to accompany her for a while. What else could she do if she didn't want to drag him down? He asked to continue sleeping! He didn't ask to see his uncle off! He passed the exam. Just take the test, if you fail the test you will be kicked down!!!"
Sheng Weiqiao, with disheveled hair, stood in front of her bed and began to persuade her, stamp her feet, pull the quilt, shake, get angry, threaten... After a while, she was out of breath, but he couldn't pull her up. At that time, the door was reporting that Xu Caikui Brother and sister Xu Baomo had already arrived, but she was so angry that her niece twisted her face and went out angrily!
Because he was so angry that day, and because he spent so much time asking Gongsun Yingjiang to get up, Sheng Weiqiao didn't even have time to have breakfast when he set off.
Sheng Sleeping Crane simply noticed it. When he arrived at the place, he saw that the road had been crowded with a group of carriages and horses that had arrived earlier. He did not let the carriage approach, so he called Xu Baomo and picked up the carriage from the carriage. After getting out of the packed cane box and heading east, they decided to part ways there: they squeezed in by themselves, and let the two girls go back when they should go back, and go and have breakfast when they should find a place to have breakfast.
Sheng Weiqiao, who failed to be lazy and failed to attract Gongsun Ying and Jiang Dongshui, had a sullen face and wished he could get out of here!
But Xu Caikui pulled Xu Baomo worriedly and said: "There are so many people, why don't we just go in by ourselves and be tight? Don't be pushed and bumped..."
"Xu Shimei, both of them have been successful in martial arts since childhood." Sheng Weiqiao twitched the corner of her mouth and interrupted unbearably, "Why can't you handle such a situation? Please don't follow us to cause trouble. Even if they follow others If they are jostled and bumped into each other, they will definitely be the ones who suffer!"
"I think I'm so worried about it!" It was not bright at that time, and the gate of Gongyuan was already crowded. Xu Baomo also hoped that the two girls would leave early to avoid too many people and troubles. The two girls were too old He is not big, but his appearance is good. There are no elders or men around him. If someone sees him and has any evil intentions, he and Sheng Suihe will go to the tribute courtyard by then, and they will not be able to help even if they want to. It depends on the protection of the Didong people. If they don't protect them well and they suffer a loss, isn't it bad? I took the opportunity to say to my sister, "Da Qiao understands them!"
Hearing this, Xu Caikui secretly gave him a red look and complained in a low voice: "Then I'm very wrong. People always give up in chaos?!"
"...They went in!" Xu Baomo glanced at his sister speechlessly, thinking, "I'm embarrassed to tell him?" Who drove people out in the first place? It's a good thing he married that tigress by mistake! If he really doesn't want to marry her, just because of what I did, the brother-sister relationship between us is gone!
In front of the Sheng brothers and sisters, Bu Nao could only mutter a few words in his heart. Hearing Sheng Suihe once again told Sheng Weiqiao to leave immediately. After returning home, Ma was having breakfast to avoid hurting his body, so he pulled him in and squeezed in. Went into the crowd.
Seeing that situation, Sheng Wei Qiao was planning to leave right away, but Xu Caikui stood on the shaft of the carriage and watched on tiptoe as they were overwhelmed by the crowd. Then he sighed and said, "Let's go back... That's wrong, his mother will do it herself tomorrow morning." The chef has made some snacks, but can I please come over and try some of the flavors from Nanfeng County?"
