"Why did Brother Shi suddenly come over?" When Sheng Suihe and Gongsun Xi were discussing the teachings for his niece, Sheng Weiqiao was apologizing to Xu Baomo with a face full of embarrassment, "I just wanted to be alone for a while, so I told them not to disturb. Who? I don’t know that these poor people even stopped me!"
With that said, he called Lu Jin Lu Qi to come up and plead guilty.
Xu Baomo hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "It turns out that I came uninvited and disturbed you rashly. How can I blame Shimei's servant for obeying the order?"
Sheng Weiqiao didn't really blame Lu Jin and Lu Qi. After all, the two maids also obeyed her orders. Xu Baomo really didn't mean to blame when he met Xu Baomo. He scolded him meaningfully and said, "Take the blame for me first." I'll do you some good later" and sent them off.
After this sophistication was over, Sheng Weiqiao was wondering why Xu Baomo came to visit suddenly, but Xu Baomo took the initiative and said, "I just met Miss Qi on the road and saw how angry she was, so I asked her. I heard she said that Shimei was in a bad mood, which made me feel uneasy, so I came over to see Shimei. I wonder if Shimei is feeling better now?"
"Wei Wu?" Sheng Weiqiao suddenly understood. Although she had no objections to Xu Baomo after her trip to the sea, but due to years of upbringing, she still instinctively did not want the family scandal to be spread. After being startled at this moment, she immediately covered it up. He said, "Brother, I don't know, but Wu is young, but she misunderstood! I'm not in a bad mood, I just saw that the wisteria flowers in the backyard were blooming, and I wanted to enjoy them alone for a while!"
Having said this, he glanced at the water stains on the small table in front of Xu Baomo, which were left by changing the tea several times while he was waiting. Sheng Weiqiao apologized, "I didn't expect Brother Shi Lei to sit here for so long without saying anything. And worry about me!”
"Shimei said this out of touch!" Xu Baomo smiled softly and said with sincere eyes, "We can be considered friends who have lived together and died together. Do you still say such things?"
In his heart, he couldn't be more satisfied with Sheng Weiqiao - because Sheng Weinu was young, she didn't understand what Sheng Weirao was going through. She thought that this cousin just wandered around outside and came back well, and she always remembered Xu Baomo's help in begging for mercy. Enhui was not at all prepared for this "Xu Shixiong". When he stopped him on the way and asked, he immediately poured beans out of a bamboo tube and prepared Sheng Weiqiao for several days to visit Sheng Weirao. However, Bai stopped him and made sarcastic remarks. It took a while to tell the whole story!
At the end, he said angrily: "I have long heard from my mother that my second aunt is not a good person. She was the one who forced my eldest brother's biological mother away! If my grandparents hadn't been protecting my eldest brother, it would have been a problem whether my eldest brother could have grown up safely. ! Sure enough, the second sister was kind-hearted and went to visit the third sister. She didn’t let her, so she still bullied the second sister like that! It’s so abominable! If she hadn’t been an elder, I would have helped the second sister teach her a lesson!!!”
Xu Baomo has always felt guilty about the encounter between Shen Jiuniang and Sheng Weirao.
After all, no matter how much careful thoughts the Bai family has, and how many tricks Old Madam Ming has done in secret to protect her son - if he hadn't come to the Sheng Mansion as a guest, there would be no need for the Sheng family's grandchildren to go out together, and they wouldn't have attacked the Han family. Opportunity.
However, his guilt was mainly directed at Shen Jiuniang and Sheng Weirao, but he had no good impression of Bai.
This is because Mr. Xu, as one of Mr. Sheng's old subordinates, was also a colleague of Ao's father.
When the Ao family insisted that the Ao family and Sheng Lansi reconcile, Mr. Xu also helped to persuade them to make peace. Of course, the Ao family did not trust Sheng Lansi's character and ultimately did not give the old man face. The Bai family who met her was deeply disgusted and lamented more than once: "A despicable and greedy woman almost ruined the more than ten years of friendship between Lao Ao and Brother Sheng!"
Xu Baomo has been influenced by her since he was a child. Before he came to the Sheng family, he already had a bad impression of the Bai family. Even though he felt ashamed of facing Sheng Weirao at this moment, he really couldn't have any thoughts of loving Wujiwu towards Bai.
So after listening to Sheng Weiwu's words, he just said a few words of comfort and asked Ming. Sheng Weiqiao returned to Zhu Ying Xiaozhu aggrievedly, said goodbye to Sheng Weiwu, and hurried over to comfort his Daqiao.
At this moment, seeing that Sheng Weiqiao never mentioned the anger that Mrs. Bai had caused her, but instead tactfully excused her aunt, Xu Baomo couldn't help but think: "How favored Da Qiao is in the Sheng family! Even though Mrs. Bai is her aunt, she is not here today." If the matter really comes to the attention of the old man, it will definitely be Mrs. Bai who suffers! Da Qiao will not know this truth. But she is so innocent and tolerant that she calms down the troubles and repays the resentment with kindness!"
Such a generous Da Qiao made him feel very sad: Sheng Weiqiao, who was so tolerant and kind-hearted, after becoming Xu Sheng's family, he really didn't have to worry about her relying on her status as a wife to bully her beautiful concubines - he should instead worry about her concubines in the future relying on her. You are so pampered that you bully your mistress!
However, Xu Baomo quickly thought of a solution to this problem: "Anyway, those are not the main wife, so there is no need to bring them into the house! At that time, only those who are gentle, respectful and respectful to the mistress will be brought in, and those with a spoiled and aggressive temperament will not be brought in." Just put it in another courtyard!"
Of course, the children still have to be raised by Sheng Weiqiao. Even if the child's biological mother is not gentle, the child has been raised by Sheng Weiqiao since he was a child. It is wise to give birth to kindness rather than raising kindness. I believe that the children will not disobey the gentle and virtuous aunt!
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know what Xu Baomo was thinking. When he heard him mention "live and die together", he thought of the experience of a piece falling into the hands of Young Master Han. Although it only lasted a short moment, it was truly the most thrilling moment in his life.
At this moment, I was grateful and fearful. Naturally, I felt closer to Xu Baomo, who had tried his best to protect her at that time. I couldn't help but thank you again: "If Brother Shi had risked his life to protect her, I probably wouldn't be able to come back! Even though Brother Shi asked me to leave, Seeing others, how can I explain away the grace of saving my life with just one word?"
Xu Baomo slightly raised his long eyebrows, and countless stars seemed to be extinguishing in his peach blossom eyes. His eyes lingered on her face for a moment, and then he showed a very gentle smile: "This is what I should do, but Shimei takes it as a favor, really calling me So sad!”
He looked gentle and gentle, but in his heart he was extremely anxious: Why is Da Qiao still so polite to this prince? Isn't this prince's diligent dedication not obvious enough? !
According to his estimation, Sheng Weiqiao should be able to understand his sincerity when he was on Tortoiseshell Island - after all, as the only male heir of Ningwei Hou Mansion, he went through life and death for Sheng Weiqiao who had not even spoken to him a few times. This was terrible. It cannot be explained by the friendship between the two families. It must be because he loves her so much that he goes through fire and water like this!
If Gongsun Yingjiang hadn't disrupted the situation and Sheng Lanci deliberately sent him away later, why would he have called him "Shimei" politely now? Not to mention the sweet "heart and soul", at least he could Can you call me "Da Qiao" like Shen Jiuniang
And now Sheng Weiqiao has been back for several days, but she has never approached him. Now he has made excuses to come to the door. Look at this girl's appearance, but she has no intention of responding? !
Xu Baomo felt that this situation... wasn't quite right!
"Didn't Da Qiao have a crush on my eldest son?" This thought came to his mind, but Xu Baomo dismissed it, "My eldest son is young, handsome, well-established, talented, knowledgeable, promising, considerate, gentle, considerate, and kind to others. Marriage is also very solemn... How could Da Qiao look down on this prince?!"
Pulling out the men Sheng Weiqiao has been in contact with since childhood, even including Sheng Weiqiao's biological father Sheng Lanci, a well-known capable man in Nanfeng County, wouldn't Xu Baomo be embarrassed
After all, Sheng Lanci, who is almost forty years old, is not as prosperous as the seventeen-year-old Sheng Lanci!
Therefore, Xu Baomo firmly believes that his Da Qiao also loves him!
Moreover, I have fallen in love with him a long time ago, but my love is hard to express in my heart!
"Is it because of Miss Shen?" Xu Baomo was confused for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but murmur to himself, "I think back then, because Miss Shen expressed her love for this prince, the generous Da Qiao obviously wanted to This prince recommended it to Miss Shen. Now Miss Shen has disappeared at sea and her whereabouts are still unknown. Is it because of this that Da Qiao cannot bear to accept this prince?"
As Xu Baomo thought this, he felt Sheng Weiqiao's kindness and thoughtfulness more and more.
But this also strengthened his determination to marry her back!
"It seems that I, the prince, need to be more proactive!" Xu Baomo used the gesture of drinking tea to cover up and glanced at Sheng Weiqiao calmly - the girl's pink cheeks reminded people of the buds on the branches in spring; The soft rhombus lips are like petals stained with dew in the morning, glowing slightly even in the room; the dark eyes are full of innocence, clear and bright.
I don’t know why, but looking at the budding girl, Xu Baomo suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, "According to Da Qiao’s personality, if this prince doesn’t hold on to her, even if she loves him very much, I guess because I miss my cousin and refuse to reveal anything, I will miss this prince, right?"
And after missing the true love of Sheng Weiqiao, even if Sheng Lanci and his wife will carefully select an outstanding husband for their daughter in the future, how many people in this world can compare with talent, appearance, and methods of coaxing girls? What about yourself
By then, Sheng Weiqiao would probably be depressed for the rest of his life.
Maybe some people think that she misses Shen Jiuniang, or for some other reason, but only a few people, no, even only both of them know that Sheng Weiqiao can't let go of herself...
Thinking of the gray-haired Sheng Weiqiao sitting alone under the flowers a few years later, looking at his young grandchildren with his dim old eyes, in order to remember himself at this moment, Xu Baomo sighed secretly, looking at Sheng Weiqiao's eyes, half-hearted Guilt, half pity.
"..." Sheng Weiqiao was puzzled by what he saw. He was stunned for a moment before continuing solemnly, "Brother Shi is so righteous, but I can't take it for granted! But since Brother Shi doesn't like me saying such things, I'll try not to mention it in the future. But if you want me It is impossible to forget Brother Shi’s kindness!”
Don’t forget to mention it!
I promise you speed!
What a simple thing!
I really couldn't say it out loud, so I glanced at my prince with a shy face, and my prince would understand immediately!
Even if you are pretending to be angry, stamping your lotus feet when walking away, or saying "disgusting" to this prince, this prince will understand!
Come and be polite here, be polite for a hundred years, my son will be your "brother", do you know that I can't be your husband? !
Xu Baomo roared in his heart, with a gentle smile on his face: "Let's not talk about it for now... The garden of Sheng Mansion is very beautiful. I plan to go to the garden to draw a lotus picture tomorrow, but which location is the most suitable in this season? But I don’t know much about the painting. If Sister Shi is free, maybe I can come over with you and help me get the details?"
Sheng Weiqiao naturally agreed: "No problem! I will help Brother Shi find a good place tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow I will paint lotuses during the day, and work all night at night. I will draw a picture of Da Qiao standing by the lotus pond from memory, and send it to her the day after tomorrow. I will take the opportunity to make it clear so that she will not avoid it anymore!" Xu Baomo thought in his mind. He was very proud, "Fortunately, my grandfather has always been envious of his scholarly family and his ability to play chess, piano, calligraphy, painting, etc. Since he was a child, he hired a bunch of gentlemen to teach me this and that, but now it comes in handy!"
He was about to say a few more sweet words and then leave, so that he could go back and prepare for the "surprise" the day after tomorrow. Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Jin came in with a tightly covered porcelain basin that was about one foot square. He seemed to be struggling to put it down. Arrive in front of him.
Xu Baomo asked in confusion: "Shimei, what is this?"
Although no matter when he was having tea alone or after Sheng Weiqiao came to greet him personally, there was no shortage of refreshments in front of him. But the porcelain basin that was sent to me now doesn’t look like it’s for snacks, right
"Could it be a specialty of Nanfeng County?" Just as he was thinking this, he heard Sheng Weiqiao say attentively: "Brother Shi, these are the snacks I just ordered people to prepare for you when I found out you were coming in the backyard!"
After hearing this sentence, Xu Baomo suddenly had a bad premonition!
Sure enough, with Sheng Weiqiao's introduction, Lu Jin opened the lid, and the delicious smell hit his face. Along with Sheng Weiqiao's sweet introduction: "These are the sea melon seeds that have just been fried by the chef who is best at handling seafood in the house. Brother, please hurry up." Try it and see if it tastes like it?”
Looking at her face, "It's really disrespectful to let Brother Shi sit there for so long. I would like to use Haiguazi to represent my apology. I believe that Brother Shi, if you like Haiguazi so much, you will forgive me, right?" Xu Baomo took a few deep breaths before he resisted lifting the lid. He was so excited that he burst into tears: "This winter... No, I will no longer make fox or mink fur! All of my prince's big sweater clothes will be changed into leopard skin!!!"
