Even though she stepped on Sheng Suihe, Shen Jiuniang comforted her with soft words for a while on the way back home, but Sheng Weiqiao still felt aggrieved and unspeakable.
So after returning to the Sheng Mansion, she didn't even bother to go back to her room and change clothes. She first called the steward in charge of the outer courtyard and cursed: "How did you choose the nursing home? They all look like dead people. Yu Che pointed at my nose and even my mother scolded me. There were so many people watching, but they were watching too! Did they see Sheng Suihe entering the door and feel that my life or death doesn't matter?!"
When she scolded the manager like this, Sheng Lanci received the news and came over to comfort her daughter. When she heard this, she became furious: "Asshole! Is this how you do things?!"
The steward Weiwei was sorry and apologized repeatedly - Sheng Weiqiao had just arrived because she had to visit her aunt and her family. When she saw Sheng Lanci taking over the investigation, she snorted and walked away, going back to her room to change clothes.
But she didn't know that she was leaving. The manager immediately explained: "Sir, it's not that the nursing home is just sitting back and watching the second young lady being bullied. It's because when they were planning to teach Xuan Yuche a lesson, they saw that the young master had already gone up to help the second young lady. Just wait and see."
Then he whispered, "After the young master stood up for the second young lady today, the second young lady specially thanked the young master. Although he did not call the young master his brother, the relationship between the two young masters has obviously eased a lot!"
"What are you talking about!" Sheng Lanci said angrily, "Asking them to follow my good girl, then it's their fault for making my good girl unhappy! Don't give me any reasons, everyone can get twenty sticks by themselves - one less Not even a stick will do!"
His voice lowered, "You know how to beat me. When you're done, go put twenty taels of silver in your account as a reward! And next time my dear girl goes out, ask them to follow you!"
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know that she was about to be fooled. She returned to Zhuying Xiaozhu where she lived, washed her hands, had the green brocade tie the double snails again, decorated them with coral beads and begonia flowers, and inserted a pair of colored glaze steps. Bu Yao's hairpin body and pendant are all made of glass, reflecting thousands of brilliance when she moves, which contrasts with the plum blossoms between her eyebrows, making her skin look fresh and fresh, and her cheeks are snow-capped.
She also wore a short jacket with narrow sleeves and embroidered magnolia flowers to meet guests, a peach red fairy skirt with gold thread, and a pine-green ruffled gold-moiré satin that stretched out her waist. After a while, she arrived at the residence of Mrs. Ming. In the Forbidden Snow Hall, just after crossing the threshold, I heard a cheer, followed by Sheng Lan who laughed without saying anything: "Hey! Where is this little fairy who lost her way and came to us by mistake?"
"Aunt loves to make fun of me!" Sheng Weiqiao scolded, stepped forward to greet everyone one by one, and then said sweetly, "Aunt came back so early. I was stopped by Xiao Qiao outside today, and I almost didn't dare. Here’s the letter!”
—The beginning of next month is Mrs. Sheng’s birthday. In previous years, Sheng Lanxin would go back to her parents’ home with her husband and children to celebrate her father’s birthday. However, because she was also the matron of her husband’s family and couldn’t get away from home, she would always do it the day before or on the day before her birthday. It will arrive in two days.
This year, it came seven or eight days earlier than before. Sheng Weiqiao was pleasantly surprised but also a little surprised.
Sheng Lanxin heard it and said with a smile: "Isn't she your cousin? She has become obsessed with painting recently. I wanted to hire a master who is good at teaching her, but she found that the master was too old-fashioned. Remember, your mother is like this Taoist master, you know that she has loved to cling to your mother since she was a child. Now that she has a reason, she has been making trouble all day long asking me to bring her over to be a disciple. Although I have a lot of things at hand, I can't stand her pestering, so I have to leave early. Save this little ancestor from trouble!"
This is of course an excuse.
In fact, after Feng returned to her parents' home two days ago, Mrs. Ming sent people to persuade her several times, but the Feng family politely stopped her. Mrs. Ming was afraid that Sheng Lanci would not be able to coax her when she came back, so she thought When her daughter Sheng Lanxin was not out of the government, she had always been close to her sister-in-law Feng. Mrs. Feng had always been very considerate to her sister-in-law. Maybe she could give Sheng Lanci some encouragement, so she sent a letter to her daughter to return to her parents' home early this year.
This is also a little thought of the old lady: Sheng Lanxin is her biological daughter, but she and Sheng Lanci are half-brothers and sisters. If Sheng Lanxin can help her brother, she and Mrs. Sheng will go there in the future, and her daughter If you have anything to ask for, it's better to ask your eldest brother, right
Sheng Weiqiao never had to worry about anything, and the city was not deep. He didn't hear the twists and turns, but asked Shen Jiuniang with great interest: "Xiao Qiao, why do you suddenly like paintings? Didn't you say before that you are most annoyed by colorful things? Are you dizzy?"
"I told you to call me cousin—" Shen Jiuniang rolled her eyes at her and then said, "You suddenly changed your mind, right?"
Then she pointed to a new porcelain hairpin inserted in her temples and reminded Sheng Lanxin, "Mom, didn't fourth brother just say that there are two hairpins, and Da Qiao and I just happen to have one each?"
"Look at my memory!" Sheng Lan was heartbroken and quickly asked the maid to fetch a porcelain hairpin similar to the one on Shen Jiuniang's temple. "This was bought by Silang looking at the chicness when he went out. It's not worth much." It’s just money, just wear it for fun.”
The porcelain hairpin was made in the shape of a lotus flower, with only one petal open, which was lifelike, with dewdrops on the petals - as Sheng Lanxin said, although the porcelain ones are not worth much, they are better in their novelty, Sheng Weiqiao He took it and played with it for a while, then immediately put it on his head. He smiled at Shen Silang and said, "Thank you, fourth cousin!"
Shen Silang has a very heroic appearance, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose, a broad mouth, and a very cheerful temperament. Hearing this, he waved his hands and said: "Cousin, you're welcome - I came back in a hurry and didn't find anything good. I'm going north in the second half of the year. Let’s go there and I’ll bring you some fun things then!”
Sheng Weiqiao chatted with him for a few words, asked about the customs in the north, and then talked to Shen Shisanlang, the youngest son of the Shen family. Shen Shisanlang was only six years old, and his temperament was exactly the opposite of his elder brother. He was very shy and did not say anything. After a few words, she embarrassedly hid behind Sheng Lanxin's back.
Sheng Lanxin coaxed him for a while and he didn't dare to come out, so he could only say awkwardly: "I don't know if it was because when I was pregnant with him, I thought it would be nice to have a girl to accompany Jiuniang. Although this child is a boy, It’s more restrictive than a little girl’s house!”
"It'll be fine when you grow up, you're still young!" Madam Ming reconciled, "It's because you don't come here often and you don't see Qiaoer very often, so it's inevitable that the siblings will become alienated."
After saying this, he looked at the sky and was about to talk about passing the meal, but a maid came in and reported: "The old lady sent someone to deliver a letter and said that he had already left for home!"
The old friend that Mr. Sheng went to visit this time lived in Cangwu County, next door to Nanfeng County.
Although the two counties border each other, the county towns are separated by several days' journey. Although the old man was born in the army, he still refuses to ride in a car at this age. He always rides a horse, which is very convenient for traveling. But calculating the time, it is less than ten days before his birthday, and it is indeed time to come back.
Mrs. Ming nodded slightly when she heard this, and was about to ask the maid to put the letter in her room first, and then read it after dinner.
Then the maid said again: "The person who delivered the letter said that the old man has brought Prince Ningwei with him this time. In addition to coming to pay his birthday to the old man on behalf of Mr. Ningwei, the prince seems to have something to do and wants to stay in our house for a while." A few days. So the old man asked the old lady to prepare!"
