Hearing Feng's voice, Xiquan, who was originally guarding the outside, hurriedly broke in. Seeing Sheng Weiqiao's condition, he was also startled. He quickly went to the side to make a cup of tea and gave it to Sheng Weiqiao with Feng. Hey, seeing a touch of rosy color finally appeared on her red cheeks, Fang said with lingering fear: "County Master, please hold on! Otherwise, what should I do to teach the master and his wife? Those confinements of the master and his wife, it is impossible for Mr. Feng to do so." Things have been going around in a hurry for a long time!"
After all, Mrs. Feng went to Chang'an because of Sheng Weiqiao.
The reason is that he and Sheng Lanci had the same starting point: they both felt sorry for their daughter.
It turns out that by doing this, he saved his son-in-law from a sudden death, but he himself fell into it!
For Sheng Lanci and his wife, the psychological pressure was obvious!
It means that they have always had a harmonious relationship with the Feng family, and the Feng family in the east are not reasonable people. Otherwise, Mrs. Zhan would not say anything, and the Feng Ye couple and the Feng Yin couple would be asking questions at the door!
"He's fine!" Those truths were clear to Sheng Weiqiao. She pressed her chest and waited for a while, then smiled miserably, patted Feng's legs and arms comfortingly, and whispered, "Mom, he Just... I've never thought of such a thing, I'm a little confused!"
"I'm just fine!" Feng's eyes were filled with tears, regretful, and she blamed herself, "Maybe he was confused! My father told my grandmother early in the morning, please don't tell me that thing, so as not to I’m troubled! Why did he tell me the story just the second day after I came back?”
Hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao burst into tears, but said: "Mom, he said a long time ago that he is no longer a child! But you guys are so blindly protecting and hiding him, how can he be on his own? In the past, you It’s hard to say that he can’t do anything alone, but he can at least rely on you, he’s very loyal!”
"But you also saw what happened to him in those two years!"
"With Mi Zhen and the rest of you, how can we spend less time together and more time apart?"
"When he is alone outside, who do you think he can rely on besides himself? Very Ruibin, he is so young. If his mother is not able to help, how difficult will it be for him in the future?"
"You only have a grandson, can you bear it?"
Then he said, "You just blamed Yuan'er for not knowing how to be considerate of grandma! Is there something that you didn't tell him? How would he know how to be considerate of you? Isn't this very unfilial! Mother, he has become a mother himself, please He is covering up everything he did wrong with you, not to mention that it will not be a good thing for him or Ruibin in the future, but how can he bear it, watching you continue to shield him from the wind and rain? , and then walk away and enjoy the results?!”
Feng sobbed: "Even Mi Zhen is powerless to tell me about that kind of thing. It's just an extra worry for me, but why bother? Besides, even if I'm a mother now, since my mother-in-law is here, If I can't live a comfortable life at home, what kind of family is that? What's more, as I said, in the two years since I left the cabinet, I have been together less and away from each other more, and at that time I didn't have anyone to marry me. How can I feel better when there is only one left? If I don’t tell you, don’t you think that my mother doesn’t care? At that time, I was begging to put more pressure on me, how could my mother bear it?!”
The mother and daughter were considerate of each other, but the more they talked, the more bitter and uncontrollable they became. Finally, they held their heads and cried loudly. Xiquan couldn't persuade her anymore, so she alarmed Sheng Lanci who was in front of her and came back to comfort her for a while before they recovered their emotions.
Because it was the time of autumn harvest at that time, Sheng Lanci was particularly busy. If not for the fact that her daughter and grandson had just returned, they would not be in the mansion. They would have gone east to inspect the farm in person. At that time, they were enjoying the spring. After staying at the station for a while, stewards frequently came to urge me, and I left in a hurry.
After he left, Mrs. Feng and Sheng Weiqiao vented their feelings, but did not continue to cry. Instead, they asked someone to fetch water to wash themselves up and discuss business. Mrs. Feng said, "You guys, I have already beaten my third uncle and my third aunt." Guaranteed, the news is that Cheer and Wuer are safe and sound. But the people who stayed with my grandparents in Chang'an were not just the two of them, but also De'er and Fuchang, who were very famous! I have to go to my second uncle to report that I am safe! "
Sheng Weiqiao said: "Does he think so too... Could you please go to the second uncle's place later?"
"He sent the steward and invited my second uncle and the others to come over!" Ms. Feng shook her head after hearing this, "He didn't say that I was neither the county lord nor the princess at that time, so there was no need to visit my second uncle." Uncle, even though our three families are considered to have a transcendent status in Nanfeng County, how can we take care of all aspects! In that mansion, if they knew that I brought Ruibin back, would they have combed the grates inside and out? Now I have a lot of followers assigned to me by Mi Zhen to guard me inside and outside, so it’s pretty safe!”
"But my second uncle's house is here... I also know my second uncle's character. He doesn't trust me to go there!"
"Besides, doing that would not be a good thing for my second uncle's family. After all, although Mi Zhen has stayed in our house, she doesn't have any deep feelings for my second uncle's family."
"If something goes wrong while I'm in his house, and Mi Zhen finds out later, he might be angry!"
Sheng Weiqiao knew that Feng was going to sleep in Hebu, so she kept her mouth shut. She was afraid that some dead soldiers would be planted at Sheng Lansi's side, and they would kill her when she came to the door.
Although she could arrange for people to clear the place first and guard the area, it would seem too aggressive, as if she was deliberately trying to show off that the county lord was acting like a princess.
After some thought, Nobu agreed to Feng's proposal.
So Feng sent someone to invite Sheng Lansi. The two families were in the same city. Sheng Lansi came over quickly, bringing Hong Sheng Weirao's younger brother Sheng Weixing with him.
Mrs. Feng entertained them in the main hall of Chengchun Terrace. Since the separation of Sheng Lansi, Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Ming were not in the house in the past two years, and their uncle and sister-in-law had not seen each other for a long time, so Mrs. Feng and Sheng Lan Si couldn't help but ask for a few words of greetings.
But after Sheng Weixing finished the ceremony, he couldn't wait to come over and ask Sheng Weiqiao about Sheng Weirao's situation.
When he heard that Sheng Weirao had withdrawn from Chang'an City and Ruming was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Sheng Weiqiao repeatedly before asking about Sheng Weiqiao's past two years.
Sheng Weiqiao was begging to shut up when he suddenly heard Sheng Lansi ask Feng in a loud voice: "Sister-in-law, when he just entered the door, he happened to see a woman who was trying to dress up going out. Her age and dress did not look like those in the house. A maid, but she doesn’t look like a wealthy lady. Who is she? Is she a guest? "
Feng frowned and said, "It's probably the person who came back with my dear girl... What did I ask that person for?"
Hearing this, Sheng Lansi turned to look at his niece, "Hehe" smiled a few times and said: "After Stir left the Hong family, his room has been empty for several years. My mother has always said that he should find another one." Let’s continue…”
Before she finished speaking, Ms. Feng said with displeasure: "Mother begs me to find a continuation of my marriage, if I can find it myself! I just ask someone who is kind enough to give me their daughter. As his sister-in-law, she also has a gift." ! As long as I can find people who know everything in the county, how can I influence the people around my good girl?! Not to mention that those people are secretly assigned to my good girl, but if not, can they serve me on the pillow? Yes; let’s just say that the uncle married the person close to his niece, wouldn’t that sound good if the news spread?!”
In fact, Sheng Lansi also knew that truth. He was used to playing with all kinds of women in the county, but he had never seen the heroic appearance of the female guards of the Wu family. He couldn't help but feel a little itchy, so Dong Zhizhi spoke out.
At this moment, he was scolded by his sister-in-law. After all, he was a little frightened and said: "Sister-in-law, he is joking... How dare he make up his mind about Qiaoer's people? I just think that woman is very different!"
Sheng Weiqiao forced a smile and said: "They are all from Xijiang, so they are naturally different from our Nanfeng County people."
Feng was very impatient with Sheng Lansi's brother-in-law and directly served tea to see the guests off, while Lian Sheng Weixing sent them away together.
After the second brother and his son left, Sheng Weiqiao sighed: "Second uncle is getting more and more confused! It's just their idea to attack Mr. Wu. He has no time to wake up when he is a woman! Is it my eldest brother to follow me?" The third sister was lost in Chang'an, and the fifth brother was worried. It was only now that he was so scared that he had the time to chat with him, but the second uncle didn't even ask him from the beginning to the end... What about his eldest son and eldest daughter!"
"What's wrong with him?" Ms. Feng sneered and said, "He's always been like that! My grandmother was here just before the incident, cursing and pointing out that he was more or less pretentious. Ever since we broke up, After he came home, my grandmother had no choice but to give him advice, and he was no longer under my grandfather's control, so wouldn't he gradually reveal his true colors?"
Although Sheng Lance was very disdainful, Feng felt a little pity for Sheng Weide and Sheng Weirao, sighing, "De'er and Fuchang... Fortunately, my grandparents are here, and he and my father can suppress me." That second uncle! Otherwise, who knows what kind of situation those two children would be in?"
"Speaking of eldest brother." Sheng Weiqiao remembered something, "When he was in Western Xinjiang, I heard that he was engaged to a girl from the Luo family. He originally planned to get married next year. At that time, he would definitely not be able to fulfill the engagement as scheduled, but he didn't Do you know if you have discussed it with the Luo family?"
Feng said: "For such a big thing, as soon as we learned about the incident in Chang'an, we immediately sent our stewards to Jiangnan!"
As for the original story, "My second uncle didn't care about Cuo De'er at all. When they asked him for his opinion, he said he wasn't coming! So he discussed it with my father and felt that the Luo family is not a big family in the south of the Yangtze River. In terms of background, it is more important than our Sheng family. Yes! If it weren't for Mi Zhen's fault, De'er would never be able to hire a daughter-in-law from such a family. If something goes wrong, you can't let her heart go cold... After all, Sheriff Luo was wrong about Mi Zhen and us earlier. The family is not in bad shape, and he is not responsible for the marriage, so he cannot explain it to his family."
Therefore, "We will explain to the Luo family and ask their girls to wait for De'er for one year. After one year, if De'er is not good, let them get married, and we will add 30% of the bride price to compensate for the girl's delay. One year of youth. If not by then... "
She frowned, "If it doesn't work out, then let's forget about the marriage! The Luo family will ask for half of the bride price to be returned... Of course, the Luo family didn't agree, and they just said that a woman is a good match, let alone one year. I have been waiting for De'er for ten or eight years all my life, alas! Yesterday I said that De'er was safe and sound, so he and my father were really relieved!"
"It's not a lie to come back and say that the Luo family doesn't look like that. It's true that the family has a great business and has great rules, and they won't let their daughter remarry. Please tell me if I have a good and bad person, can I harm other girls for the rest of my life!" "
Sheng Weiqiao was still frightened after hearing this, and said: "When he turns around, he will ask someone to send a message to Chang'an. Please tell me if it's okay. It's best for the eldest brother to return to Nanfeng County first, so that he can prepare for the wedding and give the Luo family peace of mind." That’s right!”
When the two of them were talking about that, a little maid came outside the door to report: "Your master personally ordered the guests in the other courtyard. Their young lady said that she had something urgent and wanted to interview the county magistrate. When would it be convenient for the magistrate?" "
