On this day's trip to Xuanyu Mansion, Sheng Weiqiao could be said to have come in good spirits and returned in disgrace!
On the way back, she thought about the scolding she heard from her aunt today. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She didn't even want to go back to the Sheng Mansion. She was just thinking about whether to go directly to Feng's house to see her mother. The carriage suddenly stopped, without waiting for Sheng Weiqiao. Angry, a sweet voice sounded outside the car: "Da Qiao?"
"Xiao Qiao?" Sheng Weiqiao turned from anger to joy when she heard this. Before the maid could react, she hurriedly stood up, lifted the curtain and got out of the car, took her arm with the girl in purple beside the car's shaft, who had bright eyes and white teeth, and asked happily, "What's wrong with you?" Will you be here? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t come until next month?”
The girl pinched her cheek with her fingers and said angrily: "There are no rules! Call me cousin, Xiao Qiao!"
-This is Shen Jiuniang, the daughter of Sheng Weiqiao's aunt Sheng Lanxin. She is two years older than Sheng Weiqiao, and they are direct cousins.
There is an allusion to the names of their names, Big Qiao: The two cousins have been apart since childhood. When Sheng Weiqiao was five or six years old, Sheng Lanxin took her children back to her parents' home to visit relatives, and they met for the first time.
After the elders introduced her, Shen Jiuniang followed her usual habit of calling sisters and called Sheng Weiqiao "Xiao Qiao". As a result, Sheng Weiqiao, who was looking forward to growing up, quit and said: "You are young! You are Xiao Qiao!" "
When Shen Jiuniang saw this, she quickly changed her name to Da Qiao. Only then was Sheng Weiqiao satisfied, and she called her cousin "Xiao Qiao" in revenge.
In this way, the childhood joke continues to this day.
At this moment, Sheng Weiqiao didn't take his cousin's anger to heart. He only held her hand and said in surprise: "Did you come alone first, or did your aunt and cousin come too?"
Shen Jiuniang was about to answer when she caught a glimpse of a handsome boy who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old coming out of her cousin's carriage. Nowadays, the atmosphere is open and it is not immoral for men and women to travel in the same car. But Shen Jiuniang knew that Sheng Weiqiao had never had such a close man. He couldn't help but be stunned, pointed at him, and asked, "Da, Da Qiao, who is this?"
"What are you doing here?" Sheng Weiqiao looked back and saw Sheng Suihe coming out. He could not help but lower his face and shouted, "Is it possible that you still want to ask for a meeting gift from my cousin?!"
Sheng Suihequan pretended not to hear her sarcasm, straightened his robe, smiled at Shen Jiuniang, and said with an indescribable richness and handsomeness: "I just heard my sister say aunt, could this be my aunt's cousin? I am Sheng Sleeping Crane, named Hengshu, just returned to Sheng’s home today.”
"It turns out to be my cousin!" Shen Jiuniang suddenly understood. She glanced at the upright Sheng Weiqiao apologetically. She lightly lifted her skirt and stepped forward to greet Sheng Sleeping He. She could see that her cousin didn't like Sheng Sleeping He very much, but in full view of everyone. However, she didn't want to disgrace her cousin, otherwise even if Sheng Lanci didn't say anything, her parents would still blame her for being rude if they found out.
"My cousin looks like a truly gentle and amiable girl!" Sheng Suihe waved his hand, motioning for her to get up, and took out a flawless piece of suet jade from his sleeve, and said kindly, "I don't know what will happen today. I didn’t prepare anything when I met you, so let’s play with this jade pendant!”
Shen Jiuniang knew that her eldest uncle was a capable man who was truly wealthy but had few heirs. Even though Sheng Suihe had just entered the outer room today, he was certainly not lacking in money, so even though he could see that this jade pendant was worth a lot of money. , did not refuse, and blessed Fu again: "Thank you, cousin."
"I'm going to take a look around. If you sisters are leaving, tell me and I'll take you back!" Sheng Suihe nodded to her, and looked at the blushing Sheng Weiqiao teasingly before turning around and leaving.
After he left, Shen Jiuniang asked her cousin in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
"This jade pendant was given to him by my aunt just now!" Sheng Weiqiao gritted her teeth - if Lu Qi and Lu Jin hadn't remembered Xuan Yu Feng's instructions and just kept holding on to her sleeves, she would have How about rushing up and beating that shameless guy in the street? !
"Then give it back to your aunt!" Shen Jiuniang asked what happened. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly put the jade pendant into Sheng Weiqiao's hand.
"That's not what I meant." Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly pushed it back to her. The Feng family has always been wealthy, and her aunt is not short of such a jade pendant. In the end, she just felt aggrieved!
The two cousins gave in to each other for a while, but in the end Shen Jiuniang reluctantly accepted it, but she inevitably felt it was a bit hot: "This cousin... is really too much!"
Even Sheng Weiqiao's attitude towards him was far from good. Sheng Suihe had just come in. He didn't mean to be a lowly person at all, and he deliberately tried to make things difficult for his sister-in-law. Shen Jiuniang had a very bad impression of him, she thought to herself. This cousin looks like a handsome young man, but why does he have a small belly? Not to mention the difference between direct concubine and concubine, just saying that Sheng Weiqiao is four years younger than him, can't the older brother give in to his younger sister
However, it was not easy for her, a granddaughter of the Sheng family, to say such words. Seeing Sheng Wei Qiao feeling resentful, she turned her mind and pointed to the shop behind her: "My mother and the others are resting in the Sheng family. It's me who is thinking about this." Home-made sugar cakes, I came out specially to buy them. I didn’t expect them to happen to sell out a drawer, so I had to wait outside. Unexpectedly, I happened to see your carriage - how about it? Come with me to see if they can steam the next drawer. ?”
Sheng Weiqiao glanced at the signboard and said, "Xiao Qiao, you are thinking about their sugar cakes, but I prefer their chestnut cakes, which are sprinkled with melon seeds and kernels. They are particularly delicious!"
"You prefer the melon seeds on the chestnut cake. The maid has peeled the melon seeds for you at home, but you don't like to eat them!" Shen Jiuniang nodded her forehead and scolded with a smile, "Every time you put the melon seeds on the cake, After eating the melon seeds, you will reward others. Is this also called love eating?"
"I haven't seen that plum blossom cake before. I think it's a new one. Buy two and try them out?" While talking, the two cousins had already walked into the shop, looking at the water cards hanging on the counter, and discussing Standing up, "I wonder if it is really made of plum blossoms, or is it just made to look like plum blossoms?"
After a while, when the two of them went out, the maid behind them had already carried a dozen or so oil paper bags. After some shopping, Sheng Weiqiao was in a much better mood. After walking down the steps, she couldn't see Sheng Suihe on either side, so Of course, he wouldn't send anyone to look for her. Just when he was about to propose to Shen Jiuniang that he should go back immediately, a group of people walked up not far away. When the young man in charge saw her, his eyes lit up!
"Isn't this the sister of the Sheng family?" The young man laughed playfully and blocked the way of the two sisters. He glanced at Shen Jiuniang, who had already revealed her girlish figure, and then his eyes fell on Sheng Weiqiao, who was still barely exposed. He said in a friendly tone, "Where do you come from, sister? Are you going back? Do you want my cousin to give you a ride?"
Sheng Weiqiao glanced at him and recognized that he was a son of the Xuan Yu family - her direct cousin Xuan Yushe's cousin Xuan Yuche - she couldn't help but curl her lips: "Why don't you avoid me today?"
She said this for a reason: Sheng Lanci was famous for doting on his wife and daughter, and Sheng Lanci basically grew the Sheng family, so everyone knew that if Sheng Weiqiao, the only daughter, came out of the cabinet, Sheng Lanci would not move. Even if the Sheng family gave her a dowry, they would never be stingy!
In this way, Xuan Yuche's father is not the head of the family, and he has no chance to be the head of the family. And the children outside the lineage of the head of the Xuanyu family basically don't get much, how can they not take Sheng Weiqiao's idea
However, he was unlucky. At the end of last year, he secretly wrote a loving letter to Sheng Weiqiao. As a result, the servant of the Sheng family who paid him money did not give the letter to Sheng Weiqiao, but happily handed it to Sheng Lanci!
Xuan Yuche's fate is self-evident - Sheng Lanci told his sister-in-law Xuan Yuche, Feng Shi, to deal with it severely!
Afterwards, Sheng Lanci sent someone to warn him: If he doesn't know how to stay away from his daughter in the future, Sheng Lanci guarantees that he will not end well!
After that, Xuan Yuche was frightened for a while. When he saw Sheng Weiqiao from a distance, he immediately turned away and walked away. Today, he actually blocked her path. Sheng Weiqiao was not stupid. How could he not immediately think that this was because of the appearance of Sheng Sleeping Crane? Let this person think that his status is insecure and that he is not as valuable as before
