Huan Yehe said: "Meng Boqin has many children under his knees. Their Meng family is very lush. The Queen's generation is lush enough. The next generation, to be honest, I can't remember them all. I know that Meng Boqin is the most prosperous. The son I like is not the eldest son, but the fifth son, the Meng family did it. Long before Ruru invaded, he decided to send him to Western Xinjiang specifically to cause trouble with Mi Zhen!"
"This Meng Jiagan is one year younger than Mi Zhen. He is in his prime this year and has not yet married a wife."
"Only by marrying you can Mi Zhen have the capital to go to Western Xinjiang to show his talents. I guess Meng Boqin probably had the same idea and decided to let Meng Jiagan marry a rich wife to avoid losing the battle with Mi Zhen over money and silk. ?”
"But the Luo family is different from the Gao family. This family is the most unwilling to get involved in this kind of temple struggle. Otherwise, given the background of their family, it would not be possible to say that there is not a decent official in the court with the surname Luo. . So if Meng wanted to drag them into trouble, it was because of the money they had accumulated over generations, so naturally she had to think of a clever way to do it!"
"I guess Meng Boqin's plan is to let Meng Boheng entangle him first, test out the Luo family's methods and bottom line, and then recommend the main Meng family to do it? After all, a family like the Luo family, not to mention it is impossible for them to let Even the Meng family is unlikely to let Mrs. Xiang and her son take advantage of an important clan daughter marrying a cripple. Although the Meng family is a junior to Meng Boheng, his status in the clan is definitely above that of Meng Boheng. It is said that he is also talented and beautiful. Both are good, especially brave."
"This is the Meng family." Sheng Weiqiao twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "They think well, but they are not afraid that the Luo family will be forced into a panic. In anger, they simply seek refuge with my father-in-law?"
Huan Ye said together: "The Meng family will definitely be on guard, right? But from what I know about Meng Boqin, if he really wants the Luo family to become the Yue family for the Meng family, I'm afraid he won't give the Luo family such an opportunity. "
Then he said about the Luo family, "They are also naive! How can they still want to stay out of the fight in the court? How could it be possible? Even if the others don't tell them, the Gao family, who live in the same Jiangnan with them, can't forget them. !”
Sheng Weiqiao frowned and said, "The Luo family became rich much earlier than my Sheng family. If Meng's plan succeeds, it will be troublesome!"
"It's not easy to compare like this." Huan Yehe said, "The overall wealth of the Luo family is definitely better than that of your Sheng family, but if you think about how many people there are in the Luo family, this family property is not only in the hands of the direct descendants! It is also the head of the family. There is no way to say that you can be as consistent as your father is in the Sheng family. Furthermore, do you think that all fathers in the world are like your father, and you wish you could pack up the entire Sheng family and take you out of the pavilion?"
Sheng Weiqiao said: "But the family has been in a distinguished family for many years. Even if the dowry given to the daughter of the clan is not as large as mine, the connections and connections are not comparable to that of my family. So if this matter can be disturbed by them, it is best to disturb it."
Just ask, "What method do you think Meng Boqin will use to make the Luo family only choose them?"
Huan Ye said together: "If I knew, I would definitely tell you now. However, I don't know everything. I only got this little information."
"Guess!" Sheng Weiqiao advised her, "After all, you have been staring at the Meng family for a long time, and you are smart. Maybe you can guess it for them?"
"When do you have to guess?" Huan Yehe shook his head, but still said, "If I do this, it will definitely be the leverage to arrest the Luo family. And if it is exposed, it will make people Their whole family will suffer. Even if the Luo family is extremely reluctant, they will have to obey!"
Sheng Weiqiao said: "But the Luo family shouldn't be that stupid to let someone catch such a thing, right? And since they are unwilling to take sides, they must be more careful in this regard."
Huan Yehe glanced at her and half-smiled: "What you said is interesting. If you don't have any clues, why can't you create some clues? For example, how did King Guangling marry Concubine Meng at the Chongwu Banquet last year? "
"Isn't there nothing we can do?" Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but frown, "It's hard to prevent this kind of sneaky trick!"
Huan Ye said together: "You don't need to worry too much. After all, don't forget that your father-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Because Miss Meng Wu married the head of the Gao family, the Gao family has not known how to give money to the Meng family over the years. How many benefits have been given! Your father-in-law has long seen it in his eyes and envied it in his heart. How can he let Meng family get the Luo family again this time? "
Sheng Weiqiao snorted softly, thinking that his father-in-law was not a good person. If he got the Luo family, it might not be a good thing for him and his wife.
"Anyway, please go back and discuss this matter with Mi Zhenhaosheng!" Huan Yehe took a sip of tea and said, "Let me tell you one more thing, that is, your cousin sister-in-law is the sister of General Huaihua's wife. Mr. Li, you are asking everywhere about the Lord of Fuchang County right now... Do you know why?"
Sheng Weiqiao said unexpectedly: "Xiao Li? I don't know this person. Fuchang came over two days ago and didn't mention it to me."
"General Huaihua's wife died young and he never married again." Huan Yehe put down the tea bowl and said, "At this time, the Zhao family's eldest son is the Li family. She is a close match with Zhao Shan, the grandson of the Zhao family, and they also come from a scholarly family. , so reputation is the most important thing! This is also the reason why Zhao Taomei went to the Gaomi Palace to seek justice for her sister-in-law despite Mrs. Qin's obstruction after she was criticized. She was concerned about Zhao Taomei, mainly because she was afraid that others would say that she had not fulfilled her responsibilities as the eldest sister-in-law. .”
"I heard the maids of the Zhao family tell me privately that the Zhao family's eldest son and above are all young masters Zhao Wu and others have already left the cabinet and gotten married. So what Li has been most worried about in the past two years is Zhao Wu. The prince’s marriage.”
"At this year's Chongwu Banquet, someone saw the young Mr. Li and the Fifth Young Master Zhao chatting in the imperial garden. It seems that Mr. Li recommended his compatriot sister to his brother-in-law, but the two of them don't get along well?"
"I remember that the Lord of Fuchang County also went to the Royal Garden with someone that day, right?"
Sheng Weiqiao frowned: "We were on a blind date in Fuchang that day. Before Ruru invaded, that man was a soldier from Northern Xinjiang and was rushed back to guard at Xingye. My grandfather liked this kind of man very much and specially ordered someone to catch up and exchange tokens... I don’t know if Fu Chang met little Li that day, but even if he did, we are all with him, we are at this age, and we are not ignorant children. In the circumstances at that time, wouldn’t we still be disturbing each other?”
"I don't know about that." Huan Yehe sighed, "I don't dare to enter the palace recently, and I can't find out the details of the imperial garden that day. I just feel that Xiao Li is suddenly interested in the Lord of Fuchang County. It’s a bit weird, so I’m just telling you by the way!”
Sheng Weiqiao asked curiously: "Why don't you dare to enter the palace recently? I haven't heard of it, so you have offended noble people like the Queen Mother?"
When Huan Yehe heard this, his face stiffened slightly, he rolled his eyes at her, and then said, "Do you think I am you? It's so easy to offend people!"
"I don't often offend anyone!" Sheng Weiqiao defended herself and said sarcastically, "Isn't it surprising that you have always been a frequent visitor to the palace and suddenly said you don't dare to go?"
After hearing this explanation, Huan Yehe's expression didn't soften much. After being silent for a while, Fang Henhen said: "Isn't it because of the marriage? The Queen Mother has asked me every time she has seen me. I can find it. I’ve already made up all the excuses, and until I can’t think of a new excuse, I naturally don’t dare to enter the palace, lest I be forced to get married!”
"..." Sheng Weiqiao tried hard to hold back his laughter and coughed dryly, "If you keep delaying leaving the cabinet, it will be difficult to avoid this problem!"
He gave her some advice, "Do you want to look at the poor family? That kind of background shouldn't stop you from continuing to mediate between all parties, right? Picking someone who is honest and easy to coax won't stop you from continuing to worry about your mother's family's affairs."
Huan Ye said together: "How can it be that simple? After getting married, there will be children. With children, how can this person's energy not be occupied? How can he concentrate on doing serious things later?"
Sheng Weiqiao said: "But the matter is big and cannot be solved in a day or two. If you have been putting off not getting married, let me tell you the truth, don't be angry: even if you don't enter the palace, sooner or later you will be discussed and speculated. This The world is harsher on us women after all. Their men cannot get married until they are in their thirties or forties, but they can still live and drink, have a house full of concubines, and even talk about establishing a career first and then having a family. But we women are not successful after all."
Huan Yehe was silent for a while and sighed: "I know."
She said nothing more, shook her head, chatted for a while, and then left with a heavy heart.
That night, Sheng Weiqiao waited until midnight and saw Rong Suihe came back exhausted. Thinking that it was more important to prevent the Luo family from gaining for the Meng family, she finally talked to him.
Rong Suihe put the hot handkerchief on his face for a while before taking it off. When he opened his eyes, he was already a little more energetic. After listening to it, he pondered for a moment and said, "I actually went south last year to propose marriage to my parents. I told Sheriff Luo that time."
"What did Sheriff Luo say at that time?" Sheng Weiqiao asked hurriedly.
"He is influenced by the Luo family and is unwilling to take sides." Rong Suihe smiled and said, "But now I'm afraid he doesn't want to take sides anymore."
Sheng Weiqiao said: "But we can't let him side with the Meng family! Otherwise, wouldn't the Meng family be even more powerful?"
"My dear girl, your sleeping brother doesn't want to hear what you are saying!" Hearing this, Rong Suihe suddenly straightened his face and said, "I know why you are so impatient! You are afraid that the Meng family will marry you After marrying a girl from the Luo family, your sleeping brother can't fight against him?! This is really too much. Is your sleeping brother so easy to bully? If he comes to any house to do anything, he can destroy your family. Let’s compete with my sleeping brother?!”
He reached out and pinched Sheng Weiqiao's cheek, with an unhappy look on his face, "So in your mind, your sleeping brother is so mediocre!"
"Don't be so arrogant!" Sheng Weiqiao opened his hand in a state of laughter and tears, "Isn't it because I see you going out early and coming back late all day long that I'm afraid you'll be too tired? Besides, I'm worried that the Meng family will cause trouble for you. Why do I think you're mediocre? After all, the Meng family is the beloved son of the General Hussar, and he is the most beloved among the brothers and sisters. He was born and raised in the Northern Territory, so he must be familiar with the affairs of the army and the frontier... It’s not that I have the ambition of others. It will destroy his own prestige, but I feel that since the Hussars General will send him to Western Xinjiang to fight against you, he obviously has a certain degree of confidence in him, and this person is probably exceptional!"
Then he said in a low voice, "After all, after the Meng family reaches Western Xinjiang, whether it is a hussar general or the Meng family, they will definitely continue to support him! But we... mother and concubine love you very much, and father, he... may not care. You have to come here!”
Rong Suihe looked at her with a smile as she coaxed him. After hearing this, he turned his head and kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile: "My dear girl, she is becoming more and more virtuous. Now she will give your sleeping brother a sweet treat!"
"If you talk to me in such a coaxing tone again, believe it or not, I'll beat you up?!" Sheng Weiqiao rolled her eyes at him, "Can I tell you something serious?!"
"Good girl, what you said is so unfair to your sleeping brother!" Rong Suihe said aggrievedly after hearing this, "This is not the tone your sleeping brother uses to coax a child! When did you see your sleeping brother be so tactful? Chang and Yunyang are talking to each other? Your sleepy brother’s tone is specially used to coax the little girl!”
After hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao subconsciously smiled, but immediately turned serious again: "Don't be so glib, you're talking about serious things, you know?! If you don't stop me now, let's go back to the Meng family to work in Western Xinjiang." When things are going smoothly, don't worry about it. You said that by then, won't you have to be like now, busy fighting with him all day long, but how much time do you still have to spend with me?!"
The last sentence made Rong Suihe very satisfied. He came over and kissed her again, and then said with confidence: "Don't worry, dear girl! Since your sleeping brother has long thought that the Meng family will not let go of the Luo family, how can it be possible? Give them this opportunity? Either the Luo family won’t take sides, or if they do, they’ll take sides with us!”
Sheng Weiqiao was curious when he heard this and asked quickly: "What are you going to do?"
