Sheng Weiqiao got up late originally. The night before, she was pestered by Rong Suihe for too long. The next day, she simply slept until almost noon before getting up. She didn't take it seriously at first because there was no one in the prince's palace to take care of her. It's okay for her to wake up late.
Still sitting in front of the dressing table, I suddenly remembered that my two nieces had come to the house, and hurriedly asked: "Where are Guangchang and Yunyang now? Did they come to see me just now?"
Can Yue said: "Returning to your Majesty, the two princes came to say hello early in the morning. The prince happened to be there at that time, so he went out to receive the gift. He told the two princes that you haven't gotten up yet and asked the two princes to stay in the mansion. Do as you please. At the moment, the princes are probably playing at the Fifth Master's place, and the servants are sending pastries, melons and fruits."
Sheng Weiqiao was embarrassed when he heard this and said, "Mizhen is really too much. She knew that her nieces were here to pay their respects, but she didn't even call me!"
The maids laughed: "The prince feels sorry for you."
"Then hurry up and clean up for me. I have to go see the two children." When Sheng Weiqiao heard the word "heartbroken", he couldn't help but think of the absurdity in the bathroom last night. His face turned red and he quickly changed the subject. , "It's getting hot now, so don't use this golden silk hairpin inlaid with mutton fat, jade, red and sapphire. It's so dazzling that it makes your eyes dizzy just looking at it on a hot day. Or choose the carved bamboo basket with narcissus, bamboo leaves and peach fruits." Jasper and coral hairpin!”
After dressing up in this way, Sheng Weiqiao took a few mouthfuls of bird's nest porridge and ran to see his two nieces.
When they arrived at the place, they saw Lord Guangchang and Lord Yunyang, one holding a plate and feeding Chu Wu meat, the other holding a jade comb to comb Chu Wu's fur. Next to them, Twelve Niangs swung their tails, looking at them in confusion and envy. , I don’t seem to understand why I, who has been hugged in front of Sheng Weiqiao, and these two little girls, can’t be favored by this big black guy
"Hey, I'm envious of this enjoyment." Sheng Weiqiao walked in and saw this scene. He glared at Twelve Niangs fiercely. Why does this unworthy thing always come to the fifth day of the lunar month? ! Can't you be more reserved
Then he teased the two sisters, "You spoil it so much. If it doesn't have such a good life after it leaves Chang'an with us, it will probably lose its temper!"
When Guangchang County Lord and Yunyang County Lord saw her coming in, they quickly put down their things and came over to greet her. Hearing this, they pursed their lips and smiled: "Fifth Uncle has a dedicated person to serve him here. We sisters just took it temporarily. It’s just their job.”
"This is different." Sheng Weiqiao said with a smile, "How can this beauty take care of her herself compared to the service of a few ordinary servants?"
"But the third aunt is more beautiful than us!" Lord Guangchang spoke very eloquently, and was not blocked by these words at all. He immediately said, "There is something to be said about beauty and delicious food. Looking at the third aunt in front of me, the fifth uncle is afraid that he just has an appetite. It’s wide open.”
Sheng Weiqiao glanced at her in surprise, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I can't bear to part with this sweet little mouth. You might as well not go back to the palace and just follow us!"
Guangchang County Lord smiled and said: "We thought about it, but the eldest sister will leave the cabinet at the end of the year, and the younger brothers are still young. Mother is in need of help, but she can't get away!"
"Look at how sensible and filial they are!" Sheng Weiqiao didn't really want to take them to Western Xinjiang. After all, although she had a good impression of the two nieces, they didn't get along with each other much, and the relationship was not so deep that they could not be separated; secondly, she had a good impression of the two nieces. Coming to Western Xinjiang is far less prosperous than Chang'an, and bringing a child who is not one's own would be suspected of wronging others; Sanlai also knew that Qi would never agree.
At this moment, when Lord Guangchang said this, he did not continue. He just smiled and pinched her cheek and praised, "When I have children later, this godson should ask my sister-in-law for advice!"
Although these two nieces are lively and out-of-the-box by nature, they are both polite and sweet-tongued, and are very measured in their words and actions. Sheng Weiqiao certainly enjoys getting along with them.
But this kind of enjoyment lasted until the next day, when Sheng Weirao came to the door and interrupted: "Second sister, have you picked up two county princes to stay here?"
"Yes." Sheng Weiqiao saw that Lord Guangchang and Lord Yunyang were both standing in the hall obediently after the ceremony. Seeing that Sheng Weirao was hesitant to speak, Sheng Weiqiao said, "You go and play, Fuchang is my natal hall. Sister, just call me aunt, we are all family members, there is no need to be polite."
After sending her two nieces away, she asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Second sister, do you still remember what I told you before, that Cai Kui seems to be having a hard time at her husband's house?" Sheng Weirao saw everyone retreating, then nodded slightly and hummed, "Before, we thought we were being careless. Well, do you know the result? This is really true!"
Sheng Weiqiao said in surprise: "Didn't the Wu family say that they had a fatal friendship with Xu Shishu, and that Mr. Wu's character was also very good?"
"What do you say, Mr. Wu... The main problem lies with Mrs. Cen!" Sheng Weirao curled her lips. From the name "Mr. Cen", it can be seen that she was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Cen, "The two maids she brought before , Sure enough, she wanted to give Wu Yanyi as a concubine! Caikui grew up in the Xu family. Three generations of men in the Xu family did not have concubines. She had been exposed to it since she was a child, and she was not happy about it. When she was in Xiazhou before, she only did Dongla He was so rambling that he refused to accept what Cen said. Now that he has returned to Chang'an and is close to his parents' family, he thought that Cen would not mention it again, right? But the day before yesterday, Cen simply talked to Aunt Nan and actually hinted at Nan. Auntie is going to persuade you to pick sunflowers!"
"She went to Aunt Nan to persuade Caikui to agree to Wu Yanyi taking a concubine?!" Sheng Weiqiao couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this. Nan shouldn't be too disgusted with concubinage! She doesn't even allow her biological son, or her only son, to flirt with women, let alone her son-in-law
I couldn't help but become curious, "How did my aunt answer her?"
Sheng Weirao said: "Of course it is impossible for my aunt to agree. She also told her that although the marriage was based on the friendship between Xu Shishu and Mr. Wu, in the final analysis, it was Mrs. Cen herself who respected Mr. Wu as a guest and felt that there was something special about it. Father must have his son, and if Wu Yanyi has only been married for a few days, he is tired of picking sunflowers, so it is better to reconcile."
"Then the Wu family can agree to reconcile?" Sheng Weiqiao asked.
"If you agree, no one from me will come to you today." Sheng Weirao curled her lips and said, "Not only did Mr. Cen refuse to agree, Wu Yanyi also refused to let go, saying that he thought picking sunflowers was good."
Sheng Weiqiao said: "Then this matter hasn't settled yet?"
"What are you talking about?" Sheng Weirao said, "Second sister, you still remember that the two maids who were dressed differently from the other servants that day were not very good-looking, right? Mrs. Cen wanted to take a concubine for Wu Yanyi, but she felt that she was picking sunflowers. She has been married for more than a year and there is still no news. She is worried that she will not be able to give birth to a child, which will delay the expansion of the small Wu family! Therefore, she does not care about the appearance of the concubine, and the two maids she thinks are easy to have children. Now her The meaning is: reconciliation is not possible. She is satisfied with Caikui's daughter-in-law except that she does not allow her husband to take a concubine; but she must take a concubine. At most, after the child is born, she will raise it with Caikui... 2 Sister, do you think this is ridiculous? Caikui has only been out of the cabinet for a year, who says she won’t be able to give birth in her life?!"
"Even if she can't give birth, she must keep her bastard son as her own flesh and blood?!"
"..." Sheng Weiqiao thought speechlessly, what kind of fate is this for the Xu family? The turmoil between the son and his wife had just passed, but the daughter’s marriage was also in turmoil!
She pondered for a moment and asked: "Aunt Nan will definitely not agree to such a thing, so now is there a stalemate?"
Seeing Sheng Weirao nodding, Sheng Weiqiao was confused, "What about Mr. Wu? Isn't he very close to Xu Shishu? Why didn't he come out and say something fair?"
Sheng Weirao sneered when he heard this: "Master Wu wanted to persuade Mr. Cen to come, but he relented when Mr. Cen cried and made trouble. He apologized to the Xu family, saying that he was not lucky enough to have only one child, so he gave up. Mr. Cen is brooding over the issue of heirs, and it has become a heartache. I hope the adults of the Xu family will not care about Mr. Cen... As for the matter of taking concubines, in the final analysis, it is up to Mr. Cen to make the decision!"
"It's ridiculous to say that. He only has one son. Isn't it because he is the only wife of the Cen family?" Sheng Weiqiao also sneered, "Since the Cen family is so concerned about the issue of heirs, why don't you be virtuous and give Mr. Wu a wide range of services?" Taking concubines will give Wu Yanyi more brothers and sisters from concubines? Is it true that taking concubines for Wu Yanyi is called spreading branches and leaves, but taking concubines for Mr. Wu will not give birth to heirs of the Wu family? "
"Master Wu said that Mr. Cen followed him when he was in a bad situation, so he couldn't bear to let him down." Sheng Weirao slowly shook the palace fan and said in a mocking tone, "Aunt Nan said that Caikui didn't dislike the Wu family when he came out of the cabinet. Ding Shanbo is still in the remote and remote Xiazhou. Could it be that the Xu family's intention to fulfill their promise can be lived up to? Master Wu had nothing to say and just bowed. Mr. Cen said that Master Wu was not in good health and had too many concubines. It’s not good for your body and bones.”
She looked a little weird when she said this, and then continued, "Ying Jiang was present at the time. Hearing this, he immediately asked Xu Baomo to help Wu Yanyi... Second sister, you probably don't know that although Wu Yanyi grew up in the frontier, But he followed Mr. Wu, a weak scholar, who is Xu Baomo's opponent? He was knocked down as soon as he met!"
"So Ying Jiang told the Wu family that it seemed that Wu Yanyi was not in good health, so it was better not to take a concubine. After all, Cai Kui was an honest man. He wanted to live with someone wholeheartedly after leaving the pavilion. He was not the kind who thought about her husband's death all day long. A good person to remarry. This requires Mrs. Cen to get some concubines for Wu Yanyi in the house. Later, Wu Yanyi will have both good and bad things. How will the Wu family explain to Caikui? "
Sheng Weiqiao's mouth twitched when she heard this: "Ying Jiang's temper! Although she is standing up for Cai Kui, Wu Yanyi is Cai Kui's husband after all. She is not afraid of the Xu family blaming her for saying this."
That's what he said, but Sheng Weiqiao knew that none of the elders of the Xu family were such stingy people, and they all miraculously had extreme trust and guilt in Gongsun Yingjiang. I guess Gongsun Yingjiang said so, Nan and others People can't say a word about her, and they may even think that this is Gongsun Yingjiang's way of protecting his sister-in-law.
"What do you mean by what she said?" Sheng Weirao's face became even more weird, "Yesterday I went to Ningwei Hou Mansion to see Cai Kui, and I met Ying Jiang alone in the garden to enlighten her... What did Ying Jiang say to Cai Kui? What?"
Without waiting for Sheng Weiqiao's answer, she glanced at Jinli and the others, and asked them all to leave. She was still not worried, so she used the palace fan to cover her mouth, and came to Sheng Weiqiao and whispered, "Ying Jiang said Caikui: Your mother-in-law beats you." Her husband's idea, you have to retaliate with tooth, also go against Mr. Wu's idea! And from what she saw with Mr. Wu and Wu Yanyi, it was obvious that although Mr. Wu was older, his magnanimity was far better than that of his son! If she were Caikui, her mother-in-law would dare to give her If she wants to stop someone, she will go and give Mr. Wu..."
Sheng Weiqiao, who was well aware of Gongsun Yingjiang's nature, felt a thump in his heart and showed no expression on his face.
Sure enough, Sheng Weirao's cheeks turned red in embarrassment and said in a voice like a mosquito, "...I put Lord Wu to sleep!"
"..." Sheng Weiqiao took a deep breath, resisting the urge to rush to Ningwei Hou's mansion and hack the careless niece to death, and asked through gritted teeth, "What happened next?"
"Later?" Sheng Weirao said, "Caikui and I were both shocked by these words... so we comforted her for a while!"
Sheng Weiqiao looked at her speechlessly: "Comfort Ying Jiang?!"
"She even said such nonsense, obviously she was so angry!" Sheng Weirao didn't know why, "Although she was born at sea and is used to using such despicable methods to retaliate, people like us cannot accept it. Yes, but isn’t it a kind intention?”
"..." Sheng Weiqiao was silent for a while, then said quietly, "Yeah!"
But he immediately called back to Jinli, "Is it convenient to ask Ningwei Hou Mansion tomorrow? I want to see picking sunflowers."
Originally, she thought that although she and Xu Caikui had settled their differences, after all, their personalities were not very compatible and they were not very affectionate. Now that there are two nieces in the house, I am too lazy to go to the Hou Mansion to visit them.
But now, she feels that she must go! ! !
Because Xu Caikui and Sheng Weirao thought Gongsun Yingjiang's words were nonsense, but Sheng Weiqiao knew that Gongsun Yingjiang could really do such a thing!
Although she persuaded Xu Caikui to do this at the time, however! ! !
What if this guy thinks that Mr. Wu is a worthy type to sleep with, and he is still living in the guest house of Ningweihou Mansion. It is a first-come-first-served basis near the water, and if the sister-in-law doesn't want to eat, what should she do on her behalf? ?
So Sheng Weiqiao had to go ahead no matter what, and he must give this niece a good beating to prevent a shocking scandal! ! !
