Xu Baomo was in dire straits that day, but Sheng Weiqiao knew nothing about it.
When she saw that he didn't show up at dinner that day, she was quite worried, but after questioning, she heard Nan say: "That guy locked himself in the room just now and refused to come out. Most likely it was because he knew how to test and realize himself." He didn't perform well... If he didn't perform well, he didn't perform well. Anyway, he is still young, so what if he takes the exam for the next subject? Our old Xu family is not from a scholarly family. We are actually very happy that he can pass the exam, but Even if someone told him this truth from across the door, he wouldn't listen, so just let him go! After all, such a grown-up person can't still be coaxed around by a bunch of people like children, right? He doesn't feel ashamed. We all feel embarrassed!"
Sheng Weiqiao echoed a few words: "The results haven't come out yet. Maybe Brother Shi feels wrong. By then, not only will he be on the list, but he will also be at the top?"
I won’t say much more.
After all, how can a normal mother take the initiative to curse her son to fail the exam
Believing Sheng Weiqiao to be true, he naturally had no doubts about not seeing Xu Baomo for the next two days. He just said that he really did not do well in the exam, and now he has no face to see people, so he refuses to show up.
Out of sympathy for this elder brother, Sheng Weiqiao specifically avoided the vicinity of Yinglu Pavilion, for fear of increasing the pressure on Xu Baomo.
In late February, when the apricot list was about to come out, Nan suddenly called Sheng Suihe and Sheng Weiqiao to the back hall, and said with a complex expression: "Just now someone from the south came into the house and said something: Bao Mo His grandfather, grandmother, as well as Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Ming plan to come to Chang'an together. They have already set off and are expected to arrive at the end of March."
Of course, Nan's expression was complicated. Shortly after Sheng Weiqiao was ordered to be expelled by Xu Caikui, Mr. Xu, who was far away in Cangwu County, heard the news and rushed over to deal with the matter in person.
Later, it was Sheng Suihe who wrote to Mr. Sheng, asking Mr. Sheng to intervene to persuade him.
Unexpectedly, not long after, not only Mr. Xu, but also Mrs. Xiahou, and even Mrs. Sheng and his wife were coming... What do you want to do? Four-court trial
The most terrible thing is that Xu Caikui's wedding is scheduled for April. If there is news that she was scolded by her grandparents before leaving the court, how can she have the face to go to her husband's family
As for the fact that Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou came to Chang'an not to teach Xu Caikui a lesson... Nan thought it was impossible. Even if the old couple had other purposes for traveling long distances to reunite with their son, daughter-in-law and family, with Mr. Xu and Sheng Regarding the friendship between the old ladies, even if Sheng Weiqiao has reconciled with Xu Caikui now, Mr. Xu should still have some attitude to explain to the old lady Sheng.
It's not like Nan didn't know that Xu Caikui was in the wrong and deserved to be punished.
But as a biological mother... well, when it comes to treating her daughter, Nan is still a normal biological mother. She always hopes that her daughter can be happy and prosperous in her last period of time with her parents' family.
"Auntie wants us to write another letter to persuade our grandparents, Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou not to come to Chang'an?" Sheng Suihe understood Nan's thoughts. He smiled faintly and said, "In my opinion, it's not necessary. , after all, Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou are traveling together with our grandparents. If Mr. Hou is anxious and has any harsh words, can our grandparents not stop him? "
"How could it be?" These words awakened the Nan family. Mr. Xu valued his friendship with the Sheng family. How could Mr. Sheng not consider the Xu family? The reason why the two elders have known each other for many years and their relationship has become deeper and deeper is because neither of them is the kind of people who try to take advantage of each other, but they are always considerate of each other
So Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Ming came here not to seek justice for Sheng Weiqiao, but because they were worried that Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou would not be able to control their tempers after they came to Chang'an, so they specifically joined them to smooth things over at any time
Nanshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling ashamed that she had a guilty conscience. When she heard that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were coming, she was so frightened that she couldn't see it clearly as a junior like Sheng Suihe...
Of course, she would never admit this kind of thing, especially not in front of the juniors. At this moment, she smiled and covered it up, "I was thinking about the cold weather before, and it would be inconvenient to go out, especially going north, it would be even more difficult. It's late! It's late February now, and March is about to be the time when the flowers bloom. A few elders are very thoughtful and come to Chang'an to give us a chance to fulfill our filial piety. That would be great! I'm not thinking about prosperity. The old man and Mrs. Ming are also here, do I need to tell you about this?"
He said in a consultative tone, "In that case, I don't think you should go back to Sheng's house. After all, the place is small, and it will be very crowded when you brothers and sisters live there. When the time comes, Old Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Ming will come, then It’s even more difficult to live in. There are not many people here, so why not live here? It’s lively and convenient, how about it?”
Sheng Suihe smiled and said, "We appreciate Auntie's kindness. However, our grandparents are the elders after all. After they come to Chang'an, it is not up to us to decide whether they will live in the Sheng family house or the Marquis Mansion. Yes. It depends on what they want."
His answer was what Nan expected, so she pursed her lips and smiled: "Then we can discuss it after the old man and the old lady arrive. During the period before the old man and the old lady arrive, you should stay in the Marquis Mansion!"
She thought that Sheng Suihe had already rejected her once. He was embarrassed to refuse her request for the second best, right
However, Sheng Suihe actually had the nerve to refuse, but Sheng Weiqiao was the first to say, "If Auntie doesn't dislike us, we will naturally stay here."
Seeing this, he had no choice but to say, "I'm afraid it will trouble my aunt too much."
"That's why I don't like to see you, look at your appearance!" Nan rolled her eyes at him and said to Sheng Weiqiao with a smile, "Qiao'er is still considerate!"
Sheng Suihe was not annoyed and said An Ran: "This is because of my aunt's magnanimity. After all, although I always make my aunt angry, my aunt has never been less concerned about me. How can I not rely on pampering to become a spoiled child?" no?"
"What a mouth you have!" Nan laughed at what he said and said angrily, "When you are powerful, it's like a knife, and when you want to coax people, it's like you've spread honey... But you have such a good appearance. ! It’s a good thing that you’re not like that bastard Bao Mo, and you’re not a person who relies on your talent and appearance all day long! Otherwise, this girl’s family in Chang’an City will be in trouble!”
It was rare for Sheng Sleeping He to have a special affection for Nan: That's right! If you praise me for being loyal and good-looking, please say more!
It is best not to forget to emphasize this every time you summon your good girl, so that she will listen to it without even realizing it!
It's a pity that Nan didn't feel his voice, and quickly stopped praising him, and turned to Sheng Weiqiao and said, "Qiao'er is already sixteen years old this year. It's impossible for the marriage to be settled yet! You My brother is a man. Even if he is twenty this year and has not yet gotten married, he is not in a hurry. He is talented and learned, and the Sheng family has property. He can marry a girl who looks like a flower of fifteen or sixteen at any age."
"But a girl's youth is precious. You can't continue to delay this important event in your life!"
"How about after the apricot list comes down in two days, my aunt will find a few famous tributes for you to 'encounter' by chance?"
Sheng Sleeping Crane: “……………”
Fortunately, Sheng Weiqiao has many things on his mind now. Hearing this, he shook his head and said: "There is still a gold list behind the apricot list. Let's wait until the results of the palace examination come out and everything is settled!"
Nan advised: "I don't mean to settle right away. Let's get to know each other first and have a good idea. Then we can focus on contacting each other after the results of the palace examination come out!"
"Aunt, what you said is wrong." Sheng Suihe resisted the urge to roll up his sleeves and hit Nan, and smiled, "Marriage is a lifelong event, what good can be seen in just a few days? It's better to wait until after the palace examination. Is it better to think about it calmly?"
If these words had been put aside a few days ago, Nanshi might still be able to be persuaded.
But now...
Ever since Sheng Weiqiao "was so naive and kind-hearted that she was abandoned by that bastard in my family, and my silly and sweet niece asked me to say something good about her," Nanshi has always had a "hatred" for this niece. Iron cannot become steel" mood.
Hearing this, he immediately said displeased: "He'er, you are Qiao Er's biological brother. Even if you are not born from the same mother, you are still a biological brother and sister from the same father! Why do you teach your sister like this?"
Sheng Suihe was confused and said, "What does aunt mean by this?"
"What do you mean a lifetime thing?!" Nan snorted coldly, looked at Sheng Weiqiao, and said earnestly, "Qiaoer, listen to your aunt: How come there are so many things in this world that determine a lifetime?! This kind of words are specially used. I came to deceive a heartless and kind-hearted girl like you. The purpose is to make you work hard for others all your life and endure the humiliation! Auntie, let me tell you, regarding marriage, although the elders hope that you can marry A good person, we will love each other for a lifetime. However, things are unpredictable. If you really meet someone who is useless, such as a bastard like Bao Mo, you must not tolerate it! Make peace when you need to, and don't ever wrong yourself. !”
"Even if you have a child, if you feel uncomfortable, you should go back to your parents' home to try something, instead of forcing yourself to continue to endure!"
Afraid that Sheng Weiqiao wouldn't hear her hint of "go back to your parents' house to try something", he reminded her in particular, "After all, whether it's your Sheng family or my aunt's house, there are still quite a few old people brought back from northern Xinjiang! They are all used to it. I am used to killing people with blood and mouth... I have been through all kinds of battles, and I know how to support you best!"
Sheng Weiqiao looked at Sheng Suihe subconsciously, but immediately felt that something was wrong. He quickly turned his eyes away and coughed dryly: "What my aunt said is that I remember it and will not wrong myself!"
Sheng Suihe was originally thinking about whether to cause some trouble for the Nan family, but after noticing Sheng Weiqiao's glance, his heart moved, and there was a faint smile in his eyes. He smiled and said: "Yes, what my aunt said is very right. She is right to you." You really shouldn’t want bad people.”
After a pause, he said meaningfully, "But people who are good to you..."
He deliberately did not finish speaking, and sure enough, Nan said: "Of course you should cherish the person who sincerely wants to spend a lifetime with you! After all, what is the old saying? 'It is easy to find a priceless treasure, but it is rare to find a lover.'" !”
Sheng Suihe looked at Sheng Weiqiao with a smile in his starry eyes: "My dear girl, did you hear that? My aunt is from here, and she and Uncle Shi have always been in love. You must keep these teachings in mind!"
Don’t I just sincerely want to spend the rest of my life with you
Why don't you hurry up and cherish me? !
Sheng Weiqiao narrowed her eyes, turned to look at him for a while, and smiled: "Of course I will remember it! Especially because Uncle Shi likes cats. I heard that although my aunt doesn't like raising cats, she is very supportive... It's really true. It makes people envious of the deep love between my aunt and my uncle!"
Haha, cherish you
Do you have someone as talented and beautiful as Xu Shishu? !
