After a short discussion, the Sheng family agreed that it was acceptable. This was mainly because Mr. Sheng had spent many years in Northern Xinjiang and had a natural affection for the son of a soldier. Moreover, with a ten-year age gap, the other party might be more considerate. Be tolerant to Sheng Weirao, who is only sixteen years old.
Mrs. Ming also tactfully expressed her agreement. Her idea was that the atmosphere in Northern Xinjiang is relatively open and does not take women's chastity very seriously... This is because there is poverty there and is far less wealthy than the Central Plains. Many people can only marry a wife. When you are satisfied, why should you pay so much attention to it
As for the poverty in northern Xinjiang, Sheng Lanci said: “It’s hard because luxury items such as silks and jewelry have been shipped there for many years. People wear gold and silver on the grassland. What about the luster of the jewelry! Isn’t it the people below who are suffering the most? If Rao’er really marries her, and we will add a lot of makeup to her, why worry about her not being able to continue to live in a luxurious life?”
At this time, Mrs. Feng, Mrs. Zhan and Xuan Yu Feng, who were still living in the Sheng Mansion, could not care about Sheng Weirao as much as they did Sheng Weiqiao, and Sheng Weirao had nothing to do with them. Although they had heard about it, they He didn't express his opinion and only asked Sheng Lanci in private: "What happened to your niece in her early years is not her fault, so it's okay. But that child...?"
Sheng Lanci said: "Her grandmother took care of this matter. It seems that she settled it in Zhuangzi?"
"My in-laws..." After hearing this, Mrs. Feng looked at Xuanyu Feng and said in deep thought, "My in-laws are not bad, but it is precisely because they are not bad that when they think about things, they don't have those vicious thoughts. People are considerate. The arrangements made by your younger sister Sheng Lanling are an example, right?"
Xuan Yu Feng continued: "Normally, your niece's matter has little to do with us, and we shouldn't talk about it. However, she is Qiao Er's sister. If something goes wrong with her, even if Qiao Er has already left the cabinet, she will inevitably be involved. Discuss. So after you go back this time, if you have time to ask, it would be best to ask in person to avoid Sheng Lanling's situation."
Sheng Lanci's face darkened when she thought of the place where her half-sister had tricked her daughter. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, eldest sister, I will write a letter right now and ask the capable manager to deal with the aftermath. I am determined not to let anything like this happen again." things happen!"
The old couple of the Feng family and Xuanyu Feng were satisfied with this situation, and turned to the issue of the return date: "The main purpose of our coming to Chang'an is to verify Mi Zhen's previous statement and to send Qiao Er out of the cabinet. Now Qiao Er is here After you’ve gone back, it’s time to go back!”
"The weather is just right now, and you won't have to worry about getting too cold or too hot when you go on the road. If you leave in a few months, I'm afraid the heat will be in full swing when you go south." Sheng Lanci said, "But... can you ask me to come again?" Leave some time?"
Xuan Yu Feng said: "Are you worried about Qiao Er?"
"It was also our negligence." Sheng Lanci said helplessly, "My dear girl's wet nurse resigned after she was weaned because she cared about the family. At that time, our husband and wife were a little bit flesh and blood. We wanted to hold her in our arms all day long, and we didn't feel it. What’s wrong with not having a wet nurse to take care of you?”
In this way, Sheng Weiqiao only had a maid in front of her, and no elderly mother-in-law who had given birth to look after her.
Sheng Lanci had only been busy with her daughter's wedding before, but now she remembered, "Guainan and Mi Zhen are both in their prime. They are good friends, and Mi Zhen's room is clean. If nothing unexpected happens, , My dear, maybe there will be good news in a few days... Her mother-in-law can't be counted on. Even if Princess Gaomi is willing to explain her doubts, it will be inconvenient for her to be out of the house. Secondly, to be honest, I really don't know. I believe that the princess will be kind to my dear girl."
"Although my sister-in-law Nan of the Xu family will not stand by and watch my dear girl, Bao Mo and Ying Jiang have just gotten married. If they have to take care of both of them, it will be too troublesome for my sister-in-law Nan."
"It is true that we have been negligent in this matter!" Mrs. Zhan heard this and nodded before Xuan Yu Feng could speak, "I don't have anyone who has been with me before. How can they understand things like pregnancy and childbirth at such a young age? They really have to have someone. Let a trustworthy person stay and watch... Yinxue, you have already handed over the power to your left and right, and your grandson is also taken care of by your daughter-in-law, so why don't you just stay and live with your sweetheart for a while? Maybe you can still see your good-natured child?"
Xuanyu Feng thought for a moment and said, "It's settled, then I'll stay. Just when I was out wandering around, I saw a few shops in the north of the city with good locations. I don't know why they were listed for sale. Sign, I'll pay it a visit later and take it down if it's suitable. In the future, if my Xi'er studies hard and strives for success, he will have the opportunity to come to Chang'an to take the exam, which will be just in time for him to spend money."
"Where is the shop?" Sheng Lanci said immediately, "I'll give it to the eldest sister. After all, it's such a trouble for the eldest sister, how can I not express it?"
Xuanyu Fengshi said indifferently: "I feel sorry for Qiao'er mainly, but not just to give you face. What do I want you to thank me for? Besides, there are only a few shops in the area. Who will buy it? You can go back with peace of mind and take care of yourself. My son helped Yin Lu to repay me. Although Yin Lu has already given birth, Yuan'er is not yet a week old, so it's not easy for her to take care of things by herself. "
She had planned to kill Rong Suihe for the sake of her sister and niece, but now she was just staying in Chang'an for a few more days, so why did she need the benefits of her brother-in-law
At this moment, he refused Sheng Lanci's reward and mused: "Well, parents, you are worried about the family and plan to leave soon. Brother-in-law, even if you don't go with your parents, you can't stay longer. Originally, I thought It’s time for Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Ming to leave now. However, since Qiao’er has heard that her sister-in-law has recommended a husband to Rao’er, I guess Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Ming won’t leave for the time being. .”
Ever since Mrs. Ming brought Sheng Weirao to Chang'an, she wanted to take the opportunity to find a reliable husband for her granddaughter.
The problem is that the old lady's status is not yet high enough as Sheng Weirao's, so she has no way to find a way in this regard.
And because during this period, the whole family was focused on Sheng Weiqiao's marriage and did not care about Sheng Weirao at all. I was originally frustrated and thought that the trip was in vain, but now that Qi took the initiative to introduce it, there was no way he would let this opportunity pass.
So Xuanyu Feng said: "Now that my parents are here, let's just stay together in this Sheng Mansion. Later, my parents and you will go back to Nanfeng County. I, Old Mrs. Sheng, Mrs. Ming, and you will It's embarrassing for a group of children from the Sheng family to live under the same roof. It seems that we have to buy another house... So, how many people can you lend me to run errands for me?"
Sheng Lanci smiled and said, "It's done!"
He added, "In the future, even if the eldest sister returns to Nanfeng County, don't sell this house. Leave a few trustworthy people to take care of it. Maybe Xi'er will come to live in it in two years."
But I made up my mind to buy a suitable house myself and give it to my sister-in-law.
... Sheng Weiqiao didn't know that his elders were worried about him behind his back. After returning to the county prince's palace, he first told Rong Suihe about the matter entrusted by Qi: "... I thought it shouldn't be difficult, so I agreed? "
"I'll ask Ah Xi to go find out later." Rong Suihe didn't take it seriously. This kind of thing would be quite troublesome and time-consuming if he were to inquire about it according to the serious rules of a wealthy family. However, he was a pirate and was simple and rude. I was used to it, so I had no intention of approaching slowly or making innuendoes. I just told Gongsun Xi to sneak into Huang Wujiu’s place at night and look inside and out... Based on his experience of kidnapping and extortion, Don't even ask with your tongue. You can estimate Huang Wujiu's true temperament just by looking at it.
Besides, Mrs. Qi didn't mean to really know everything about Huang Wu Jiu. In the final analysis, she just wanted to know if Huang Wu Jiu would treat her daughter well.
Rong Suihe agreed immediately, but after he agreed, he felt something was wrong and looked sideways at Sheng Weiqiao: "Be good, baby, isn't there any benefit?"
"This is your niece's marriage, and you still want benefits from me?" Sheng Weiqiao smiled and hit him, "Do you dare to be more evil?"
Rong Suihe said plausibly: "I used to make a living on the sea. How can I become a pirate if my heart is not evil?"
Sheng Weiqiao then leaned over and kissed him on the left and right cheeks: "Is it done?"
Originally, Rong Suihe wanted to continue bargaining, but then Sheng Weiqiao suddenly thought of something, pushed him away, and asked with a straight face, "By the way, you said before that you would help me find out about the Queen's condition. You haven’t told me yet?!”
"That?" Rong Suihe was stunned when he heard the words, and hesitated a little, "Well, since the Queen can still get up and move around, there will definitely be no big problem, so don't worry..."
Sheng Weiqiao glared at him: "You didn't ask about it at all, did you!? You liar!!! You lied to me like this now, will you do it again in the future?! Will you bring a child back to call me 'mother' in a few days?" ah?!"
"My dear, I accidentally forgot." Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, Rong Suihe could only say sarcastically, "I definitely didn't mean to lie to you! Besides, how could I bring a child back to call you 'mother'? This It’s absolutely impossible!”
Sheng Weiqiao was about to say, "I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen," when he saw this man touching his chin and laughing, "We are now the king and princess of the county who have been officially canonized by the imperial court, and the children are also called 'Father King'." How can she be called 'Mother' like other people do?"
"So you have someone outside for a long time, and you have given birth to a child?" Sheng Weiqiao suddenly became furious and said, "I have turned against you! Today I must clean up the house!" After saying that, he ran up to beat him. , Rong Suihe naturally stood up to avoid, the two chased and fought, and circled the house several times. After all, Sheng Weiqiao was used to being pampered, and he was tired and panting and couldn't run anymore, so he stopped and said with a smile: "If you have the ability, don't Run?"
"Good girl, the reason why your sleeping brother wants to run away is for your own good!" Rong Suihe also stopped, turned his head calmly, and said with a bad smile, "After all, if sleeping brother doesn't run away, how can you pursue me? Isn’t that right?”
Sheng Weiqiao was stunned for a moment, then he regretted it, stamped his feet, and said with a smile: "What kind of pursuit? Is it just a chase?"
"You are chasing your sleeping brother, and at the same time begging your sleeping brother to 'stop'!" Rong Suihe said plausibly, "How is this not pursuit?"
"I was scolding you to 'stop'!" Sheng Weiqiao couldn't even laugh. She took a concealed bag from the soft couch next to him and threw it at him. "What's the point of begging? You are getting better and better at making excuses. Please tell me the truth. You were so well-behaved before. Are you pretending to be considerate to deceive me? Now that you have deceived me, your true colors are revealed? Huh?"
Rong Suihe touched his chin and smiled: "Wrong! My dear, in fact, your sleeping brother's strong words now are just an act. This is all because he is afraid of such a big mansion, just the two of us living there, you are extremely bored, and you are not satisfied with being alone. My eldest brother-in-law is really cheating on you with his hands and feet, so I can only imitate the ancients’ colorful clothes to entertain the bride, and try my best to make you happy!”
He said affectionately, "My dear girl, do you feel touched? Do you want to treat your sleeping brother well at night?"
"I won't tell you anymore!" Sheng Weiqiao was defeated by his shamelessness again. He brushed his hair and walked back to his seat with crimson cheeks. He fanned the wind with his hands and said, "By the way, my father is calling you over today." , what did they say to you?"
