Because the eldest son of the Sheng family was born in the early evening, there was no time to hold a banquet that day. Sheng Lanci and a group of stewards went there for most of the morning before starting to distribute invitations and organize the banquet early the next month. .
The distance between Lin County and the county town is either far or close. If we speed up our journey, we can actually arrive a day earlier.
Old Mrs. Bu Nao Ao knew that Mr. Sheng did not pay much attention to the big house, so he spent a lot of effort to transport many delicate objects inside and outside into the Sheng Mansion smoothly, so he did not dare to go too fast.
When they arrived, since the old man of the Sheng family and the old lady Ming were not around at that time, but the old man Ao personally took the lead, the Sheng family showed respect for the ancestral friendship, and it was almost impossible for the confinement lady Feng to show up. Outside, everyone came out to greet them.
On that occasion, although Sheng Weiqiao and Ao Luanjing had been at odds with each other since the incident on the building boat, they couldn't be as affectionate and warm as when they first met, but they had no choice but to walk together, exchanging greetings with each other.
Di, who was announced to be traveling together with Feng and Xiao, kept an eye on her daughter, fearing that she would lose control of her temper and say something that would embarrass the two families.
It's good that although Ao Luanjing was very unhappy with Sheng Weiqiao at home, when they met now, although his attitude was a little cold, as if he was the newly appointed county lord, the entertainment was quite satisfactory.
The two people in Bu Nao were chatting and laughing as they arrived at the main hall, waiting for the elders to pass the greetings. As usual, they told the juniors: "Let's go east and play!"
As soon as they went out, Ao Luanjing pulled Sheng Weiqiao to the side and asked in a low voice: "County Lord, can you arrange for him to meet Cousin Sheng... ah, would you like to meet the county prince?"
Since there were very few rumors about Sheng Weiqiao and Rong Suihe, Ao Luanjing thought that he had addressed the wrong person as "county master" and used the word "you", which was very condescending. Sheng Weiqiao was too embarrassed to refuse, right
But she didn't know that Sheng Weiqiao was muttering before she came. How could Keke let her meet Rong Suihe at that time
She asked whether such a magnanimous person with an adult heart might not have the turn of Rong Suihe Nandong to propose marriage. She had long been stalked by Xu Baomo asking to marry him back. Being a "virtuous and virtuous person" in his mind would not stop him from accepting the marriage. "I know how to take the initiative to help him find beauties" and went to his real wife!
Hearing this, Qiu smiled and said: "Sister, it's not like that. You also know that the cousin Sheng you mentioned is obviously not what he used to be. If he comes to Sheng Mansion tomorrow, his parents will not dare to neglect him." You are a distinguished guest. How dare he do such a thing for you?"
He added, "Especially, my sister is engaged."
"..." Hearing this, Ao Luanjing looked at her steadily for a while, and then said calmly, "The man in the sun is dizzy. He wants to go back to the guest house first."
Sheng Weiqiao said: "He will send it to you."
The two walked to the living room in silence. When they arrived at the door, Ao Luanjing thanked them and walked in without looking back.
Seeing this, Ju Li frowned slightly, and after following Sheng Weiqiao for a while, he said politely: "Miss Ao just wronged the county head..."
"I don't care about her!" Sheng Weiqiao said calmly, "It's okay to be a guest only if you are alone... It's okay if you just deal with it for a few days!" "
Although before Ao Luanjing appeared, Sheng Weiqiao felt uncomfortable because of her meeting with Rong Suihe again, but after she actually saw Ao Luanjing, she calmed down and thought: " Is he really stupid! From the very beginning, Ao Luanjing was infatuated with Rong Suihe. What was he doing to prevent Rong Suihe from setting up Ao Luanjing? Did he have the intention to get his wish when Bei was in Chang'an? At that time, he should have been on guard against Ao Luan Jing!"
But in the afternoon of the next month, Xiquan mysteriously found Sheng Weiqiao who was counting the tableware for the dinner with Dongren, and told her in a low voice: "The county lord, Didongren said that he saw Miss Ao and Mi Zhenjun Wang Shut up at the willow tree near Cuimo Water Pavilion... Can you please go over and have a look?"
Sheng Weiqiao suddenly became murderous: Of course! ! !
However, Sheng Weiqiao left everything behind, and did not forget to run back to Zhu Ying Xiaozhu, change into bright clothes, add some gorgeous headdresses, hurried to the garden, and trotted all the way to Cuimo Waterside Pavilion. He quickly took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat. He was strolling around and anxiously moved to the willow tree... He almost couldn't resist the urge to run back to Chengchun Terrace, roll up his sleeves and beat Xiquan violently!
because…
To the east of the willow tree, there are indeed figures of Rong Sleeping Crane and Ao Luanjing.
but…
Li Shengxu, who was dressed in a bright red silk dress and dressed so magnificently that he could go to the church at any time, was walking between the two of them in a very distinctive manner. He took a fishing rod and was fishing while joking with them, even though he was more than ten feet away. You can hear that guy's laughter!
In addition, there were seven or eight servants serving him with various things.
Sheng Weiqiao, who was ready to catch the rapist, felt very tired...
Even the aunt who watched me grow up is so untrustworthy, how can I not be disappointed in the world
The worst part was that when she saw that situation, she originally planned to leave quietly to continue her 21-day running of the flowing water mat, but she had gone back to Zhu Ying Xiaozhu to dress up again. Then Now I'm wearing a bangle bracelet on my leg and wrist. It's the kind of red gold hollow bracelet as thick as my thigh finger with a few pearls stuffed in it.
As you walk, the pearls on the outside and inside will make a subtle but crisp sound when they strike each other.
After being trained, the lady's steps correspond to the sounds, adding a bit of style to her walking.
Although she was far away from Li Shengxu at that time, such little movement had already been hidden from Nao Rong Suihe. He had never seen Sheng Weiqiao since he entered the Sheng Mansion. Ruming followed the movement. Turning around, I saw a figure, how could I let her go
Dangdong waved his legs and shouted: "Good girl, did I come to find them?"
He was afraid that she would run away, so when he shouted, he even chased after her in person!
Sheng Weiqiao: "..."
If Dong continued to run in that situation, if Ao Luanjing saw it, he would think that he had done something wrong and run away!
The girl thought for a moment, then stood still and looked angrily at Rong Suihe who was running over.
"What's wrong?" Rong Suihe came to the front, barely showing the smile of a reunion after a long absence. He was already aware of the girl's displeasure, so he was surprised, "My dear girl, why am I unhappy? Why didn't he look for him in those few days? Isn't it because of Miss Ao?"
He explained with an aggrieved look, "Did he come to the garden because he didn't see me during those confinement months? He really missed me and wondered if he could bump into me there? As for Miss Ao, he definitely ignored her! No. Shengxu, he was chatting with her without causing trouble, and that’s why he kept her standing there! I saw it just now, did he stand on the other side of Shengxu on purpose!"
When Sheng Weiqiao saw Liu Shudong's formation, he knew that Rong Suihe had something to do with Ao Luanjing.
But when she saw him explaining to herself hurriedly, she rolled her eyes, and instead she put on a straight face and said: "Since I want to cut off the relationship with her, I won't just walk away, but why should I stand by her?" ? Then you can’t bear to leave at all! You are using Li Shengxu as a cover!"
"He's waiting for me!" When Rong Suihe heard this, he immediately laughed. His smile was pleasant but meaningful. He lowered his voice, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "There is no Sheng Mansion there. What can I hide? Do you have the eyes and ears of your parents? Did your parents consider our marriage well at that time? Since we know that Miss Ao once coveted him and she was with him at that time, how could my parents not let me come too? In case he Is such a good candidate for son-in-law being cut off?"
"Bu Nao..."
"He is a good girl who is loyal and loyal. Heaven and earth can tell the truth, and the moon and the moon can tell her, otherwise she will never fall in love with someone else!"
Sheng Weiqiao's face turned red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. After a while, he finally calmed down and hummed: "That's nonsense! Why did his parents ask him to come here... Did he have nothing to do? Come here and do whatever you want in the garden." Just taking a walk!”
Rong Suihe was really embarrassed to tell her that at that time, the news had spread all over the place, whether it was the former Miss Sheng family, the current head of Kangzhao County, or the person who organized the flowing water banquet. The Sheng family did this to show the harmony between the elder brother and sister. Sheng Weiqiao, who had been in the spotlight for fifteen years, was not jealous at all of his younger brother's highly anticipated birth. Instead, he was very enthusiastic about helping to host the banquet; Should Sheng Weiqiao be known as a capable person and prepare for her reputation as a virtuous person after she leaves the cabinet
So why is that girl so idle with nothing to do
She took the time to come over and supervise the situation!
Rong Suihe suppressed his laughter and said: "Good girl, that only proves that he is destined to me! Did he feel that he would be able to wait for me if he waited a little longer, so he didn't leave? At that time I saw Are you here? Sure enough, we are reunited!"
Sheng Weiqiao was asking for an answer. At that time, Li Shengxu, who noticed Rong Suihe coming over, was impatient with the wait. He temporarily handed the fishing rod to a Dongman next to him, put his legs to his mouth, and did He turned into a trumpet and shouted: "What are we whispering over there? Come over and tell them something, okay?"
"Let's go!" Sheng Weiqiao curled his lips and snorted, "That Li Shengxu, if you don't deal with him for a day, he will become a monster!"
The two were walking on the road. When she saw Li Shengxu tilting his head and shutting up with Ao Luanjing, as if Ao Luanjing was very kind, she was a little curious and asked Rong Suihe, "Li Shengxu probably didn't know that we were in Beihe." Those things at that time, right?"
Rong Suihe said with a smile: "My dear girl, I forgot that the boy was not in good health before, and he was huddled in the house all day long and couldn't move? He will be better now, can't we have fun all day long? Especially Miss Ao's fault that he is a little cold. He didn't mean to be enthusiastic, but instead he became interested in teasing others... But then he didn't know that Miss Ao was engaged, and he would probably restrain himself after he found out."
"Why didn't I tell him?" Sheng Weiqiao was a little speechless, "What if he really falls in love with Ao Luanjing?"
Rong Suihe said disapprovingly: "Where in the world can there be so much love at first sight?"
"Did I fall in love at first sight with Ao Luanjing!" Sheng Weiqiao pouted, "Oh, no, he really remembered it. I also said that I fell in love with him at first sight... So, did I lie to him?"
"What's wrong!" Rong Suihe immediately saved himself and said decisively, "Miss Ao's fault is that it's not love at first sight. It can be said that there were no outstanding men in the place where she lived before. When she first saw him, he was both civilized and military, talented and beautiful. She is a young and talented person, and it is inevitable that she will have a good impression of her. I wonder if there was an almost outstanding man to choose for her at that time... "
Sheng Weiqiao interrupted coldly: "Xu Baomo was also there at that time!"
"But Xu Baomo is not the heir apparent!" Rong Suihe responded quickly, "The lintel of the Ao family is not high, and the relationship between Mr. Ao and our grandfather is closer than the relationship with Mr. Hou of the Xu family! So Miss Ao married Sheng The eldest son of a common family, Ke Ke, is bigger than the Ke Ke who marries Ning Weihou’s son!”
When he said that, he touched Dongba, tilted his head to look at Sheng Weiqiao, and smiled brightly at the girl, "Besides, don't I think he is better-looking than Xu Baomo?"
Sheng Weiqiao said seriously: "I don't feel it at all!"
"I've remembered that sentence!" Rong Suihe said with a straight face, "He will definitely ask me to settle accounts in the future!"
Sheng Weiqiao snorted: "Settling a score with him? Is he afraid of me?"
Rong Suihe looked at her with a half-smile, stretched out his legs and touched her head: "I'll just stop begging for mercy in the future!"
He coughed dryly and continued, "As for him wrongly saying that I fell in love at first sight, of course he is not telling the truth!"
"Does he want to coax him when he sees me like that! Who wants to believe me?" Sheng Weiqiao groaned. He originally planned to say a few more words to refute, but by that time he had already reached the east of Liushu, and Li Shengxu held on absentmindedly. Fishing rod, turned around and asked: "What were we talking about over there just now? He's been here for a long time. If he calls us, he's afraid that we'll all beg him to leave him there and go away on his own. ?”
Sheng Weiqiao gave him a red look and said, "It's so hot that day. Am I so interested in going fishing instead of going to the banquet to have a drink? Don't you feel hot?"
"It's hot when the banquet is here!" Li Shengxu snorted after hearing this, "I'm sorry to say it. Do I know how many people were chasing and intercepting him and his cousin during the two days when he was at the banquet? That formation... I know. They said they were flattering, but they thought they were catching fugitives! He couldn't stand such enthusiasm, and he would rather go fishing at that time!"
Sheng Weiqiao suddenly remembered how Xuanyu Mansion held a lotus banquet in the past, and he and Rong Suihe were surrounded by people. He couldn't help but smile and said: "I don't think about how prominent my status is in Nanfeng County. Don’t they want to see what’s new?”
While she was shutting up with Li Shengxu, she kept paying attention to Ao Luanjing from the corner of her eyes.
But seeing that Ao Luanjing didn't pay attention to her intention at all, he fixed his burning eyes on Rong Suihe. Those eyes seemed to contain a thousand words, and seemed to have endless sorrow and pleading... That's called a person who can see everything at once. Year!
Sheng Weiqiao immediately turned to observe Rong Suihe, and saw that Rong Suihe was looking at him intently with a smile in his eyes. He noticed her attention and winked at her slightly, as if teasing or teasing.
"Is he really stupid? He was tricked by Aunt Xiquan into sweating!" Sheng Weiqiao twitched the corners of his mouth. He was about to find a reason to leave and do the things he had thrown away. At that time, Ao Luanjing suddenly took back Looking at Rong Suihe, she turned to look at the lake not far away. The legs hidden in her sleeves were clenched, released, and then clenched. After repeating this several times, she finally made up her mind and took a step forward. , pointing to the position where Li Shengxu's fishing line fell into the lake, and said "Huh": "What is that?"
As he spoke, he walked towards the lake as if curious.
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know what she was asking for when she came to the east. Hearing this, he and Li Shengxu looked over... Rong Suihe didn't notice, but he just looked at it calmly and indifferently.
At the moment when Fou Dong was standing, Li Shengxu was confused: "What? There doesn't seem to be anything special..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "bang" and Ao Luanjing fell into the lake. The splashing water splashed all over his and Sheng Weiqiao's faces!
Li Shengxu: "?"
Sheng Weiqiao: "!!!!!!!!!"
The girl stamped her feet frantically, "What are you doing standing there?! Why don't you hurry up and go east to save people?!"
