Ao Luanjing didn't know that her family came to Sheng Mansion this time to apologize, but she knew that Sheng Lanci rushed to Lin County in person a few days ago and talked secretly with her grandfather for half a day before leaving in a hurry.
Old Master Ao then asked the juniors to pack their luggage and count the days - and at the same time issued a hush-hush order, requiring the whole family to forget about Sheng Lanci's visit and never mention it again - although Ao Luanjing was confused at that time, But I don’t think it has anything to do with me.
But Sheng Suihe's frequent gazes just now made her think too much: "When Uncle Sheng Shi went to my house, he calculated the time and realized that Uncle Sheng was still in prison at that time! Ordinarily, as the head of the Sheng family, it is Second Uncle Sheng who Uncle's eldest brother, he couldn't escape. But he still made this trip in person... I guess it was because he had to go out in person? "
For example, the life events of Sheng Lanci’s only male heir, Sheng Suihe
After all, the only people who can overpower his own brother are his wife and children.
Coupled with Sheng Suihe's "spying on her" just now, the more Ao Luanjing thought about it, the more he felt that he had guessed the inside story: "Because of my aunt's incident, my family has not been to the Sheng Mansion for more than ten years. The estrangement between the two families is wrong. As for the Sheng family, if the Sheng family wants to tell me... to Cousin Sheng, they really need Uncle Sheng to come personally to show their sincerity."
And when Sheng Suihe accompanied Sheng Weide to greet the Ao family in the Forbidden Snow Hall, he behaved in a measured and generous manner - at that time, he didn't look sideways, and it can't be said that he didn't even glance at Ao Luan Mirror, but he was absolutely dignified and dignified. No disrespect whatsoever.
Why did he stare at her endlessly as soon as he came out of the Forbidden Snow Hall
It can be said that he is greedy for his own beauty. With the appearance and status of this cousin Sheng, there will be no shortage of beautiful maids to surround him. What's more, although Ao Luanjing has always been proud of her beauty, she has to admit that the girl from the Sheng family who is holding her arm at the moment is superior to him in terms of the exquisiteness of her appearance and the delicate whiteness of her skin.
Sheng Suihe faces such a sister who looks like a person in a painting every day. It's impossible for him to lose his composure before meeting such a beautiful woman, right
Thinking about it, it was because Sheng Lanci had let him know in private that she was his fiancée candidate, so she took the opportunity to take a look at him
And his grandfather ordered not to spread the news about Sheng Lanci's visit to the Ao family. Was he afraid that if the marriage failed to happen, the news would be leaked and the Ao family would lose face
Ao Luanjing thought he suddenly understood, feeling shy and uneasy: "This cousin Sheng is really good-looking, but important life events cannot be ignored - my aunt was a clear example back then - I can't agree to everything just because he is good-looking. Only by understanding his temperament and academic performance can you know whether he is worthy of being entrusted with you for life!"
In this way, although the garden of Sheng Mansion is unique and beautiful, and the rare birds and animals raised in it are also unique and fascinating, what else can Ao Luan Jing do to enjoy at the moment? However, after a quick glance, all his thoughts were focused on talking to Sheng Weiqiao and finding out about Sheng Suihe.
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know that Sister Ao was already a drunkard and didn't care about drinking, but now she hated Sheng Suihe deeply, and she also hated her so much that she had to endure it because it really hindered the guests.
Naturally, he would not take the initiative to mention Sheng Sleeping Crane.
Ao Luanjing went around in circles and talked a few times. Seeing that she either avoided talking or talked about other things, she felt guilty and said to herself: "I'm really stupid! Since Cousin Sheng knows that Sheng Shibo is interested, He told me that this sister Sheng is his biological sister, how could she not know this? I also wanted to know something about cousin Sheng with her... This is not to tell her clearly, I have already noticed the inside story, and To Cousin Sheng… To Cousin Sheng…”
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blush and felt ashamed!
"Sister Ao, are you feeling hot?" Sheng Weiqiao, who knew nothing about it, saw the sudden flash of blood on her snow-white skin. She thought it was due to the sun, so she hurriedly said, "There is a waterside pavilion in front, why don't we go in and sit down? , asking people to get some delicious fruits to relieve the heat?"
Ao Luanjing really needed to sit down and sort out his thoughts. Hearing this, he calmed down and said, "That's fine!"
The girls wanted to rest. Although Sheng Suihe and the other three were not tired yet, they also accompanied them into the waterside pavilion.
This waterside pavilion is not the Cuimo Waterside Pavilion that Sheng Weiqiao used to paint lotuses for Xu Baomo. It is another waterfront building that is far away from the Cuimo Waterside Pavilion, named Yiyue.
Yiyue Water Pavilion is the same as Cuimo Water Pavilion. The part on the shore is specially divided into two rooms. One is arranged as a study room and the other is equipped with a bed as a bedroom.
The reason for doing this is that if you suddenly get excited while visiting the garden, you don't have to send someone back to find pens, inks, paper and inkstones, you can just take them here; the latter is naturally for people who visit the garden to take a rest when they are tired - if There are so many guests coming to the house all at once that the front living room cannot be accommodated, so it can be temporarily used as a guest room.
But at this moment, the group just wanted to rest in the hall with a waterside pavilion on the lake, eat some fruits, and continue touring the garden, so they didn't ask anyone to open the two wing rooms at all.
But after the servants presented all kinds of iced drinks with melons and fruits, Ao Luanjing was uneasy, so while talking to everyone, he drank several cups of snow-soaked plum blossom wine without realizing it. He didn't react until he felt dizzy. , secretly shouting "Oops", holding Sheng Weiqiao's hand who hadn't realized it yet, and said with a wry smile: "Sister, I was greedy just now, but I'm already a little drunk!"
Hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly put down the half-drinked Shuipi Drink: "Sister, don't worry, there is a wing next to it. I will help my sister in to take a nap. I only need three or two glasses of wine. I think it will be nice if I come and lie down for a while!"
With that said, he quickly asked Lu Jin to take someone to clean the bedroom.
Fortunately, Mrs. Feng stipulated that the pavilions and pavilions in the garden must be opened every three days and cleaned every five days, even if they have not been occupied for many years. Therefore, although no one has lived in this wing in the past two years, there is not much dust in it. I took out the bedding from the box behind the screen. They are all clean and fresh, and they have been exposed to the sun recently, so there is some camphor. smell.
At this time, Ao Luanjing felt more and more dizzy and could hardly sit still in her seat. Naturally, she would not be picky about these things. After being supported by Sheng Weiqiao and the maids to lie down, Sheng Weiqiao tucked her in. Seeing that Sister Ao was breathing evenly, she had clearly fallen asleep.
She was a bit dumbfounded: "I didn't expect Sister Ao to have such a bad drinking capacity."
Sheng Weiqiao wasn't a big drinker, but snow-soaked plum blossom wine was not a strong drink, and she didn't take it seriously even if she drank three to five glasses. Who would have thought that Ao Luanjing would fall down so easily
Back in the hall of the waterside pavilion, Sheng Suihe and others asked Ao Luanjing that Ao Luanjing had been placed, and wanted to laugh a little. Ao Luanxiao said half helplessly and half puzzled: "Xiaojing is not good at drinking. I never drink it at home, and I don’t know why she chose snow-soaked plum blossom wine when there were so many iced drinks in front of her today.”
"You want a change of taste?" Even Ao Luanjing's brothers couldn't guess that she was drinking to drown her sorrows. Sheng Weiqiao could only guess casually and said, "I want to wait here for Sister Ao to wake up. I don’t know if you guys should just sit down and leave, or wait together?”
Sheng Suihe and Xu Baomo both looked at Ao Luan Xiao when they heard this, and Ao Luan Xiao said without hesitation that they would wait together.
But now, Sheng Weiqiao was the only girl left in the hall, and no one was talking to her, which made her look very boring.
Xu Baomo, who was secretly happy, suggested: "Why don't you get two sets of chess to relieve your boredom?"
What he was thinking was that although he had lived in Sheng Mansion for a while, he was still a guest just like the Ao brothers and sisters.
If we want to play chess, Sheng Suihe must accompany Ao Luanxiao, so it will be his turn to pair up with Sheng Weiqiao - while his brother-in-law and Ao Luanxiao are concentrating on Qiaoping, he and Da Qiao will be flirting, ah, bah, It’s you and me!
Thinking of this, Xu Baomo looked at the others nervously, for fear that they would disagree.
Seeing that Sheng Suihe did not answer immediately, Ao Luanxiao said hesitantly: "I'm afraid I'm not good at playing and may ruin your interest!"
"It's just for fun." Xu Baomo said hurriedly, "I wonder if Brother Hengshu and Shimei are interested?"
Sheng Weiqiao remembered his mission and nodded when he saw that Ao Luanxiao seemed to be convinced.
Although Sheng Suihe also seconded the proposal, his half-smiling look made Xu Baomo feel guilty for no reason: "Could it be that Brother Hengshu has seen what my prince is thinking?"
But then I thought about it, although I spent a lot of time in Cangwu County, but since I came to Nanfeng County, I have performed well enough to live up to the four words of "a wishful husband", okay
Especially among the members of the opposite sex that Sheng Weiqiao has contact with, who can be better than him
Even if Sheng Suihe couldn't bear to part with his sister, he wouldn't object to his choice as his sister, right
After all, girls always have to get married!
Thinking of this, Xu Bao Mo Fang breathed a sigh of relief.
You only need to take the chess from the study room next to it, so it was delivered quickly.
The four of them were divided into two pairs to play chess. As Xu Baomo expected, Sheng Suihe took the lead in inviting Ao Luanxiao to join him. He secretly thanked his brother-in-law for his knowledge, suppressed his joy, and walked up to Sheng Weiqiao: "Please also invite Shimei. Please give me some advice!”
"Brother is good at playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting. To say this is to bury me!" Sheng Weiqiao had long stopped treating him as an outsider. This time, after being locked up in the ancestral hall for several days, he suddenly saw "the same father and half-brother." "Xu Baomo, the point is that this "half-brother" is not as annoying as Sheng Suihe. He inevitably feels more cordial and his attitude is more casual. At this moment, he rolled his eyes at him and said with a smile, " Please don’t kill me till I’m dead later!”
Xu Baomo's heart was shaken by this sight, and he was secretly happy: "The ancients said that one day is like three autumns apart. Da Qiao is so kind to me today. It seems that Aunt Feng has been keeping her in the ancestral hall before, not allowing me to Being close isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”
After he calmed down, he placed the chessboard and the chessboard on the table between the two of them, and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily true! There is a saying in the community that if you add brine and make tofu, one thing will bring down another thing. Maybe Shimei's The chess game just happened to restrain me, but in turn, it killed me to pieces, so why should I just accept the defeat?"
In fact, these words contained ambiguity, but it was a pity that a person like Sheng Weiqiao, who had a blank slate emotionally, could not hear it at all. Hearing the words, he rolled up his sleeves with great interest and said expectantly: "Then I have to be careful! If I can really Brother Shi, you killed me so badly that you will be honored if you tell me!"
"As long as Shimei wants to, you can win against me for the rest of your life." Seeing this, Xu Baomo's eyes flickered, and he deliberately softened his voice a little more. He looked at her face, with a smile full of meaning, "Shimei Xin Do not believe?"
Sensing that there seemed to be something behind his words, Sheng Weiqiao paused in his smile, as if he was thinking about it—Xu Baomo's expression remained unchanged, but he quietly held his breath and concentrated, waiting to see how she would answer
