Xuan Yu was very speechless because of Feng's niece's ignorance: "Have I forgotten the story my father told me? Although that story was just to tease me, it also revealed one fact: My brother is very talented. The gift of reading!”
She sneered slightly, "Although my father has no intention of resurrecting since he became an official in the Hanlin Academy, everyone knows that it may not mean that he is not interested in the court, but he is just worried about my grandfather! But I don't He is a girl who was unable to take part in the imperial examination. Now that he has a son with Ziren back, do I think he will not let Sheng Suihe study hard to make up for his regret?"
Sheng Weiqiao murmured: "When I congratulated cousin Feng in Dangui Courtyard before, my brother... He did say that he planned to attend the college examination next year!"
"Then it's over?" Xuanyu Feng raised his eyebrows, "I've seen how the girls are chasing after our brothers and sisters tomorrow! Sheng Suihe just returned to the Sheng family, and they haven't officially opened the ancestral hall. After entering the genealogy, the girls from the top families in Nanfeng County already treat him as a wishful man!"
She narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "You know it so easily! Once he achieves fame in the East Palace next year, even if he is just a scholar, there will definitely be many more people willing to marry him!"
"What if he is like my father and is named on the gold medal list? With his looks and the wealth of the Sheng family, those generals and ministers in Chang'an will be tempted even if they don't think so!"
"When the time comes that he has the help of his wife and family, even if my mother disowns him as his legitimate mother, I'm afraid she won't be able to suppress him!"
Xuan Yu and Feng Shi sneered, "How miserable will our mother-in-law spend the rest of her confinement in this way? If Sheng Shuhe's heart turns dark and he stretches his legs a little, we, mother and daughter, will suffer!"
Stretching his legs and straightening the tassels that were dangling from his temples, he announced to Feng that he was good at teaching, "Therefore, we must not give him the opportunity to marry the powerful people in the court - we must choose his first wife now! That first wife must not even be here in the future." The Feng family and Xuan Yu are the first choice in the family. It is best to be from an ordinary family in the county, a good family is fine! I want a person with a good temperament who values her natal family and is in good health. The former will be easier for my mother to control, while the latter will prevent her from living long and letting Sheng Suihe Marry again!"
Sheng Weiqiao was so confused that he didn't know what to do. He hesitated for a while, but still couldn't decide, and whispered: "But what if? What if he is not of his father's blood?" Dad has unspeakable difficulties in recognizing him as his own son, so it is inappropriate to do so!"
"Am I really naive?" Xuan Yu Feng sighed, patted the back of her leg, and said in a reproachful tone, "Bulun is not my father's bloodline, but he is definitely not my mother's biological child." "If he didn't enter the Sheng family at such an early age, how much respect would he have for my mother? How much sincerity would he have for me?"
"As the saying goes, you must be on guard against others!"
"Once he marries a wife of noble birth in the future, whether we, mother and daughter, can still have a comfortable confinement depends largely on him and his wife!"
"But now, let's find him a first wife with an ordinary background. If we find out that we have misunderstood him in the future, at worst, we will have to treat him better!"
"People's hearts are unpredictable. That Sheng Sleeping Crane has just come back, and it's obvious from a glance that he is pretending. How can I depend on his character for the rest of our mother and daughter's confinement?!"
Sheng Weiqiao stood up absentmindedly: "He... he has to go back to discuss things with mother!"
"Wait before we leave!" Xuan Yu Feng Shi Han said to her, "I walked out with the look on my face now. Who can't see that there is something on my mind? He asked Dongren to bring some refreshments, so I can use some energy and calm down. Let’s go again!”
Sheng Weiqiao was so calm that she didn't leave until the lotus banquet was over in front of her. She even left the banquet. People at the banquet asked if she was frightened by the scene just now and deliberately hid in front of Xuan Yu Feng. Come out and wait for Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiwu directly in the carriage.
Gongsun Yingjiang looked at her listless face from behind the car and thought she was uncomfortable, so he asked insinuatingly. However, Sheng Weiqiao impatiently waved his legs to signal her not to bother him. Seeing that situation, the niece kept silent, so she secretly guessed what happened after Aunt Wei was declared a traitor to the old lady of the family
Sheng Weiwu, who never looked at faces, did not notice her cousin's depression. After she came in, she immediately complained dissatisfiedly about Sheng Weiqiao's absence: "He thought that the second sister would be very happy after the party! He was very dedicated to being by his side. You took a seat! It turns out that you didn’t even show your face until the end, causing him to be teased by the sisters around him!”
Sheng Weiqiao steeled herself and said perfunctorily: "No? That's really true - he was talking to his aunt and unknowingly lost track of time."
"It's a good thing that my second sister will be absent tomorrow!" Sheng Weiwu didn't blame her seriously. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Otherwise, I will definitely be hungry tomorrow - I won't have anything to eat tomorrow." A few chopsticks of vegetables! Those people! From before the banquet started, they kept coming to him and asking about that! One moment they asked the second sister what they liked, and the other moment they asked the outsider what they liked. It annoyed him so much! If the second sister was there, Those people surrounded me and refused to leave even if they couldn't help it. I'm afraid it would be hard for my second sister to even take a drink of water!"
When he said that, he glanced at Gongsun Yingjiang with envy, "No, Yingjiang is good. All those people came to ask him, but not many people bothered her. He saw that she was going to sit alone at the most delicious place tomorrow." Every dish is rounded!"
Gongsun Yingjiang made a face at her and said with a smile: "Aunt Wu, I was disturbed and had no time to eat. The ladies from the Feng family and the Xuanyu family competed with each other in a dignified and reserved manner, and they didn't use their chopsticks very much. He thought The food is already here, so what’s left to waste?”
Before she finished speaking, she magically took out a purse from her sleeve, "I just saw Aunt Wu staring at the plate of lotus cakes for several times. He specially packed the last one!"
"Ying Jiang, I'm so good!" Sheng Weiwu's eyes brightened, and she said happily as she took the hand over, "No wonder the second sister has taken me with her wherever she goes since I came to our house. She spends more time with me than with him. It takes a long time to be together!”
The last sentence had a sour meaning - even though Sheng Weiqiao was full of worries, she couldn't help but curl her lips slightly when she heard this, rubbed her head vigorously, and said with a smile: "Ying Jiang just came to our house and is not familiar with the environment, so Of course my sister always takes her with me! And since I grew up in the house, do I really need my sister to be my guide when I go out?"
Sheng Weiwu carefully divided the lotus cake into three parts and handed it to her and Gongsun Yingjiang. She said aggrievedly: "Brother Xu Shi was painting in the garden the day before yesterday, but my second sister brought Ying Jiang over without even calling him!"
"The weather is so hot now. Brother Xu Shi went to the garden specifically to ask for a painting of lotus flowers at noon." Sheng Weiqiao said, "Sister feels sorry for me and is afraid that I will be exposed to the sun, so she deliberately doesn't call me!"
Sheng Weiwu was then satisfied: "Okay, he's afraid of being exposed to the sun. It's boring to stay in the house all day on such a hot day! If things like that happen again, my second sister should call on him!"
Sheng Weiqiao, who nodded happily, did not notice that Gongsun Yingjiang was hiding behind her and winking at Sheng Weinu - Sheng Weiqiao was in the carriage that day because he was coaxing his cousin, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
But after returning to the house, she said goodbye to Sheng Weiwu and went back to their respective rooms before stepping onto the threshold of the big room. Thinking of what she heard from her aunt, her face suddenly became heavy!
Feng, who was waiting for her daughter to come back and explain the lotus banquet in detail, was amused by her almost sad expression: "Are you scolded by my aunt? You went to have a good meal, why did you come back like that?"
"He has something he wants to talk to his mother alone." Sheng Weiqiao didn't have the time to pay attention to her mother's teasing, so she said solemnly with a straight face, "Ying Jiang, I will be tired tomorrow too, so let's go back first!"
Mrs. Feng frowned when she saw this, but she admitted that she agreed to her daughter's request. After everyone dispersed, and only the mother and daughter were left in the room, Ms. Feng took a sip of tea and asked, "What's going on?"
"Mom, dad lied to him!!!" As soon as Sheng Weiqiao opened her mouth, the grievances she had tried to suppress in front of Xuan Yu Feng flowed out uncontrollably and she sobbed, "Dad is too much!"
Feng was stunned. She wanted to say something but quickly shut up. After thinking for a while, she carefully probed: "Good girl, I said my father lied to me... or did he lie to me about something?"
-Sheng Lanci, oh no, it should be said that the couple has fooled their daughter many times, otherwise Sheng Weiqiao would not have been raised so innocently and ignorantly. Now her daughter started crying after saying just one sentence. Feng was really unsure. Could something be revealing and cause her to notice it
Sheng Weiqiao had no idea what his mother was thinking. While crying, he recounted Xuan Yu Feng's analysis, and finally said: "My aunt suspected that brother... If Sheng Suihe is actually his father's concubine, his father would not let him To exclude him, I deliberately made up such a tear-jerking story about Dong's life experience to coax him! He feels that his father is going too far, he believes in him so much, yet he treats him like a child and treats him like a child!"
"Not to mention that I am not a child to begin with, even if I grow to be seventy or eighty years old, I will still be a child in front of them, right?" Feng said to herself, straightened her face, and tried to show off her anger: " It’s so true! My dad did a good job indeed! Don’t worry, dear girl, when he comes back later, my mother will help me take care of him!”
Sheng Weiqiao stamped her feet and said, "Mom! The most important thing now is not to deal with daddy, but also to find out what's going on with Sheng Suihe!"
"Of course!" Feng said sternly, "It's not appropriate to talk about things like this. I begged you to be there. My father might not have told the truth out of embarrassment! In that case, when I came back from the banquet, I would definitely If you are tired, please go back to your room to settle down first, so that you can interrogate my father alone. Call me over tomorrow and tell me the whole story!"
Sheng Weiqiao was reluctant: "He begged to ask his father why he begged to lie to him?!"
"Then why, dear girl, haven't I already thought of it?" Feng's mouth twitched slightly, "If not, just let me make peace with my brother!"
"He doesn't deny his brother!" Sheng Weiqiao said angrily, then softened his tone and choked, "He thought that his biological mother and father had nothing to do with each other, so he called him brother! If... if his His biological mother is really the aunt who his father secretly raised, so he doesn’t want to call him brother!”
Feng secretly scolded her sister for meddling in other people's business. Sheng Weiqiao's daughter, Sheng Weiqiao, didn't show any strong reaction when Sheng Suihe came in. Disgusted
When Bu Naoyan Dongbu Fu complained to Feng, Feng coaxed and persuaded her, and finally coaxed her daughter back to Zhuying Xiaozhu before Sheng Lanci came back.
Not to mention how Feng would interrogate Sheng Lanci, she just said that after Sheng Weiqiao returned to Zhu Ying Xiaozhu with tears in her eyes, even though everyone on the left and right couldn't help comforting her, and even asked the kitchen to make her a chestnut cake that she ate to comfort her, but The more Sheng Weiqiao thought about it, the more angry she became - she suddenly realized before: "Mom, please question dad alone and not let him be around, but he can ask Sheng Suihe!"
