Sheng Weiqiao then breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "Forget it, he has to accompany his grandfather."
"I heard that Mrs. Sheng always doted on Sheng Sleeping Crane. Wasn't it good at that time?" Huan Ye nodded understandingly and greeted, "What is lost is gained in the east. I hope you won't be too sad!"
Sheng Weiqiao thanked her for her concern and said, "Father Shun is generally fine now. I'm a little shocked that something like that happened in Bu Nao." "
Huan Ye was asking for an answer. The eldest princess Wuyang over there saw that the time was almost up and coughed a few times. Everyone in the hall naturally understood after hearing this and stopped one after another. The eldest princess smiled and said: "Say no reward." The flower banquet is just in that room, looking at a few potted plants, but it's not boring. Why not go to the east of the flower forest in the garden to sit down, enjoy the flowers and have a drink at the same time, wouldn't it be fun?"
"How about giving the guests who are coming tomorrow a chance to show off their talents!" After hearing this, Huan Ye whispered to Sheng Weiqiao, "Do our sisters have any talents? If not, can we ask him to help? All the girls in our family are granted Now that the county lord and village lord have been replaced, there are many envious and jealous people in Chang'an City... Even if we act modestly tomorrow, I'm afraid we won't be able to avoid the trouble that is coming at the door. It's better to just show our legs and calm down. Living with everyone can save you a lot of trouble. He has experienced it back then!"
Sheng Weiqiao felt a headache when he heard this and said, "There are so many things? If I had known, he would have made excuses not to come."
He reminded Huan Yehe with a black line on his head, "I'm asking them if the sisters have any talents... I don't know what talents he has?"
I don’t want to think about whether there was someone who hated iron and scolded her for being ignorant and incompetent
"... If you are not good at learning, you can't sing, dance, or play the flute or the flute?" Huan Yehe looked at her in disbelief, "Then our sisters usually spend time at home... Do we just have fun wandering around!?"
Sheng Weiqiao felt that this statement was too underestimated for the girls of the Sheng family, and said, "It's not like everyone is like that! I want to see if his niece Ying Jiang can do martial arts!"
"No, it seems that her surname is not Sheng at all. She just recognized my father as her adopted grandfather!" Huan Yehe's mouth twitched, and then he remembered something and asked, "Then I call me brother, does he call Sheng Sleeping Crane, do you have some poems for us to write as backup? If so, will he find a chance for us to write poems later?"
Sheng Weiqiao said embarrassedly: "What I said was a gathering after the palace examination. It turns out that the palace examination was just over. His brother... How could he remember that something like that happened? He had forgotten it a long time ago!"
"..." Huan Yehe sighed and said sadly, "Then let's wish ourselves good luck!"
"Is it that serious?" Sheng Weiqiao saw the "We are dead" look on her face. He was embarrassed and a little suspicious. He looked around and whispered, "He doesn't believe that there are so many talented people." Both beautiful! The palace has said that their sisters were granted the title of county lord and village lord, is it because the Queen Mother and the Empress like them, so what does it have to do with them being attracted to each other?!"
Then he said, "What principle in the world stipulates that people must have extraordinary talents to be treated differently by the Queen Mother and the Queen?"
"Little ancestor, Tiandi Dong does not have such a reason, but everyone has the heart of jealousy. To be honest, we are the only sisters who have never been famous in Chang'an before. Suddenly, something happened. Such a great grace, some people envy it, some people flatter it, some people pursue it, and some people are jealous of it, and some people resent it, isn't it natural?" Huan Yehe did not take it seriously, "Before he was granted the title of county lord, his reputation was much louder than that of our sisters. , Taking advantage of his grandfather's remaining power, she is a recognized talented woman in Chang'an City! She also considers herself to be very thorough and meticulous in her conduct and work. Why not, after being granted the title, she has endured countless open and secret arrows before she has a bright moon? "
While she was shutting up, Princess Wuyang had already finished greeting everyone, took the lead in getting up, and went to the flower forest in the courtyard.
The eldest princess didn't take more than two steps before she stretched out her legs to hold Sheng Weiqiao and said with a smile: "Jingshu and I were hiding there muttering and shutting up in the morning, and we didn't let them know! At that time, he was specifically begging to be with me. Don’t let me hide anything from them!”
Luo Wanhua asked curiously: "County Master Kangzhao, what are you and Sister Jingshu talking about?"
"He is helping us ask Jingshu County Lord who is dressing up tomorrow. The Jingshu County Lord who is asking is a little unable to resist. It turns out that the master of the palace called him and refused to tell Wanhua. I also help Jingshu. Like a lady, if Dong's words were interrupted, she must not admit it!" Sheng Weiqiao allowed Princess Wuyang to hold her, took two steps toward her, turned to face Huan Yehe, and said deliberately, "Now Do we regret it?”
"Then they are so sorry that their intestines are turning green!" Upon hearing this, Princess Wuyang and others all expressed regret. At that time, Huan Yehe said: "Do we believe her? He is obviously asking her what she likes. If there are many people tomorrow, it is better to ask the palace master to introduce him to someone he likes. It turns out that she was coy and refused to talk about life and death, so he finally coaxed her into thinking, and he immediately asked for help. Okay, the master of the palace really loves her and immediately rescued her! Wanhua doesn't care either!"
Everyone burst into laughter and said, "That one said that one is asking for help, that one said that one is asking for help, so who is asking for help?"
Fang Xinniang said with a smile: "Is it necessary to ask? Surely the two county heads asked each other and then decided to exchange answers. It turns out that the master of the palace messed it up!"
"If that's the case, then he will be punished!" Princess Wuyang said with a smile, "He will punish himself with three pills later!"
Everyone applauded the eldest princess for her cheerfulness, and said that Sheng Weiqiao and Huan Ye were together: "The two county heads have been talking to each other for a long time in hiding from us. We should punish ourselves with three cups of wine later!"
"Has he figured it out? If they don't win us over tomorrow, they won't give up!" Huan Ye complained about Sheng Weiqiao, "But I gave them a chance!"
While they were chatting and joking, a group of people had passed through the courtyard and entered the Moon Cave Gate. In front of them was a rockery three people high, covered with sedge and moss. There was a pool around the bottom at the east end, and water lilies were planted outside. Although there were very few flowers blooming that season, However, in the clear water of the pond, golden and red crucian carp swim by from time to time, and the sight of them is full of interest.
After turning around the rockery, there is a row of oleanders in front of you, red and red intertwined, blooming brilliantly, the winding path paved with green bricks in the middle, which was originally very spacious, is now squeezed so that two or three people can barely pass by side by side. .
The winding path winds deep, with rockeries, lakes and rocks, arch bridges, pavilions, and flowers and trees flowing all the way. Craftsmanship can be seen everywhere. The group chatted while walking, and after drinking tea, another rockery blocked the way.
The rockery is a bit taller than the previous one, about four or five people tall. There is a pavilion on the side, and a half circle of hibiscus trees is planted as a barrier to provide shade for the pavilion. The rockery is covered with wisteria and planted with evening primrose, delphinium, morning glory, hibiscus, phalaenopsis and other flowers and plants. They grow lush and green in that season, making the entire mountain a colorful bloom.
There is no pool at the bottom of the mountain, but there is a cobbled path that winds to a place at the foot of the mountain with hanging vines.
Princess Wuyang took the lead and walked towards the path. Meng Liyi and Meng Liti covered their mouths and laughed, saying: "I remember when I first came to play in Diandong Mansion when I was a child, I chased Shengxu and chased him there. Look, He was running towards that road, and I thought he was blocked, but who knew that he was gone in the blink of an eye... It took them a long time to find out the secret!"
In fact, there is no secret. Sheng Weiqiao had seen the fledgling sleeping crane in the valley where he lived on Tortoiseshell Island before. It was just that the vines were too lush and covered the entrance of the cave.
Sure enough, Princess Wuyang was in front of her at that time, and the accompanying maid quickly walked over and separated the few hanging pothos, revealing a dark cave.
There should be only a passage in the cave, because after the pothos was lifted up, you could feel the wind coming from the other end as soon as you walked in.
Princess Wuyang turned her head and smiled at the Meng sisters: "That happened almost ten years ago, right? It's hard for us to remember it so well, but Shengxu has forgotten it! Please talk to him carefully later, how can he rely on familiarity with the environment? , where are you teasing your aunt?"
Meng Liyi and Meng Liti did not laugh after hearing that. Fu Fu was pushed gently by Meng Shuangxiao, and she said reluctantly: "Aunt Fu and nephew, they are actually about the same age. Did they play around when they were young? It’s not normal. The master of the palace is so solemn, but it’s their fault and shouldn’t be mentioned.”
At that time, everyone had passed through the false Shandong corridor. After exiting the cave, their eyes suddenly became bright, but they could not see the endless forest of flowers: peaches, plums, apricots and pears were blooming in abundance, and peonies and peonies were blooming gracefully.
More than 20 steps away, there is a hundred-year-old wisteria that is luxuriant and luxuriant. Its strong branches have been erected into a wide shed that is as large as several halls. The strings of flowers are like pearls and jade, dazzling and dreamlike, and the soft wind blows by. , petals of various colors are flying and dancing, making people wonder whether they are illusions.
