Sheng Weiqiao frowned consciously when he heard Yandong and said, "Jingshu County Master and his family were only on the shore yesterday. It was only the morning, so why is there something urgent?"
Although Sheng Weiqiao ordered to treat Uncle Yongyi and his group with courtesy when the ship was on board, there was no surveillance at the same time as that courtesy.
Xu Lianshan ensured that they had no chance to contact the outside world.
Putting it this way, if it wasn't true what happened in the other courtyard, wouldn't it mean that they were already in contact with Hudong when they were on the shore
However, the power of the Huan family in Bishui County is not supposed to reach that of Nanfeng County... So is it the Huan family's eyes and ears, or is it the people from the east that Huan Guanlan left behind
Sheng Weiqiao's thoughts were racing, and while he was thinking about it, Mrs. Feng beside him asked: "Since the guests checked into the other courtyard yesterday, has anyone come to visit us now?"
The maid shook her head and said, "The steward who came to report the news didn't mention that. I wonder if it's possible."
Feng asked again: "How about the garrison in the other courtyard?"
The maid said: "The master ordered the steward to arrange a courtyard with the highest wall. Because the county master heard that the guest had a distinguished status and an extraordinary background, the steward specially dispatched a group of young and strong servants from other villages to guard him, so as not to There was something unexpected that disturbed our distinguished guest."
"It's true that Gao Chu went to contact us, and the mere servants probably wouldn't have discovered it." Sheng Weiqiao muttered, "Since our steward just went to report the news and didn't say anything else, I guess there was something wrong with them in the other courtyard, and we didn't receive the report." What news?"
Feng said softly: "Why should he be worried? In Nanfeng County, can we have one-third of an acre of land? No matter how well-informed they are, they will have many hindrances for Huan Guanlan Liudong. How can we do that in that place?" Can you shake things up? I just want to take people over to meet with the county leader!"
"Mom, he knows!" Sheng Weiqiao said, "Mr. Jingshu County is a smart person. If Mingren is in our territory, he probably won't do anything to make us unhappy. Is he worried about her receiving the news? The news... I don’t know what it is?”
After shutting up, she stood up, "Oh, you can't even guess it right there. Why don't he go over and take a look! Let Xu Lianshan accompany you. He always does things meticulously, don't worry!"
Half a month later, Sheng Weiqiao arrived at the other courtyard outside the city.
The place is indeed as the maid said. The courtyard walls are very high, and there are young and strong servants patrolling inside and outside. Although it is not allowed to wear swords according to the law, they also carry whistle sticks and the like, and they are not bare-legged. He was completely unprepared for his empty fists.
"County Lord, because the other courtyard is not far from the sea, when the three of us did not reach an agreement with the Gongsun family earlier, the pirates were harassing the shore and were always outside the scope of being plundered." The Dongren who led the way explained to Sheng Weiqiao. , "So the other courtyards nearby have been modified according to the standards to prevent pirates. Not only are the courtyard walls extremely high, there are also many sentry positions outside and inside, and many hounds are kept to guard the entrances... Of course, these are all along the walls of the courtyard. There is no shortage of pavilions and pavilions in the middle of the circle, so we will not neglect our guests."
Sheng Weiqiao nodded and said: "The guests from that family have unusual origins and are closely related to Mi Zhen. Otherwise, Ruming is not suitable to disclose their identities... It will be good for us to serve them carefully!"
Dongren kept denying it.
At that time, the carriage entered the door, and when they arrived at the east carriage place, they saw Huan Yehe and two maids waiting.
The Lord of Jingshu County was quite haggard when he was living on the sea. Later, he was picked up by Sheng Weiqiao on a boat. He was worried about it. After being raised for a while, he felt a little more energetic when he came to the East. But after all, it was not as good as when he was in Chang'an. of high spirits.
At the moment, she is wearing a light foundation embroidered peacock narrow-sleeved crepe short jacket, her waist is wrapped with purple brocade inlaid with pearls, a tulip skirt tied to the east, a hibiscus bun, copper-plated gilt dots, jade inlaid beads, begonia and crane pattern head flowers, A gilt silver hairpin decorated with jade and red coral. Although it looks delicate and pretty, the area between the eyebrows is somewhat dull.
Sheng Weiqiao came forward and held her legs and said, "I'm in a bad situation. Why do I want to go out there to enjoy the breeze? It was already late autumn at that time. Even if the weather in Nanfeng County is warm, I have to start taking care of myself... Why are you so open-minded?"
Huan Yehe smiled faintly and said: "Why are you so weak? Besides, I have been on the ship before, and the place is so big. If you want to take a walk, you can go around the cabin. Ruming is finally here, It’s time to walk more.”
"Because I was afraid of leaking the news, I didn't tell his parents in advance that we were traveling together." Sheng Weiqiao asked with concern, "Are we used to living in a house that has been cleaned up in a hurry? If not, he will give it to us again. Let’s choose. His house has quite a lot of houses nearby. He will arrange for the guests to eat, and if you have any requests, just ask, but don’t be polite!”
"The Sheng family's financial resources in Nanfeng County have long been known to them." Huan Yehe said with a smile, "Don't worry, it won't save my family... Although Buluo Bishui County is not close to Nanfeng County, Most of them are in the south. Their family has been living in Donglai for many years in Chang'an. When I came there, I felt more familiar, and there was nothing unfamiliar."
After such pleasantries, Sheng Weiqiao went to the back hall to meet Yong Yibo and his wife and others. It was the first time that she had officially met Huan Yehe's family.
When we were in Haizai, due to the sudden appearance of Huan Ye and his family, and considering that Yong Yibo and his wife and others were old after all, and had just suffered in the lap of pirates for a while, Lian Huan Ye He's young daughter was very haggard, and they must be even more out of shape, and they may not be able to bear the comings and goings. Sheng Weiqiao met Huan Yehe several times, and unlike other members of the Huan family, he called Xu Lianshan and Wu Da in charge. I came forward on my behalf, went to visit him, and gave him many things to settle the matter.
At that time, I took a furtive look and found that Yong Yibo's family were all dignified and red-skinned. Judging from their expressions and temperaments, they probably didn't look like honest people.
They were not willing to accept Sheng Weiqiao's gift. If it weren't for Sheng Weiqiao, their entire family would have been buried in the sea. That's not the only kindness they could have received. Moreover, Sheng Weiqiao's status was higher than theirs, so they should give Sheng Weiqiao the gift. no.
The two sides pushed back and forth for a long time, and Sheng Weiqiao said: "He and the head of Jingshu County are like sisters, and I think you are also like the eldest relatives in his family. In addition, due to the relationship between Zhuofu Mizhen and Duke Huan, you are so indifferent. Instead, it made him sad.”
Whether Huan Yehe opened his mouth or not, he initially followed the etiquette of family friendship... Bu Nao was a bit confused after all, because Rong Suihe was Huan Guanlan's disciple. So if you calculate it, Huan Yehe, who is Huan Guanlan's granddaughter, is better than Rong Suihe and his wife. A generation shorter.
As for Yong Yibo and his family, it was Huan Yehe who interacted with Rong Suihe from the beginning. Because Huan Ye and Rong Suihe were about the same age, and they didn't trust each other very much at first, and they often tested each other, so they could This also obscures the topic of seniority.
So much so that at that time, Sheng Weiqiao mistook Huan Yehe and couldn't call her "niece", so Ru Ming could just talk about his mistakes.
After some pleasantries, Sheng Weiqiao made the mistake of not coming forward to receive Yongyibo's family and apologized for his parents' family. This was not because Sheng Lanci and his wife deliberately neglected Yongyibo's family, but also because the whereabouts of Huan Yehe's family currently needed to be covered up. , and with the status of Sheng Lanci and his wife in Nanfeng County, how could they not attract attention when they personally greeted people
Yongyi's Mansion was very popular in the East, so he repeatedly said that it didn't matter.
After finally walking through the scene, Huan Yehe invited Sheng Weiqiao to take a walk in the courtyard where he lived.
The courtyard where she lived was slightly smaller than Zhu Ying's small building, and it was quite spacious compared to Huan Ye's boudoir in Yongyibo's Mansion in Chang'an City, where land was scarce.
Because that villa is not particularly important in the Sheng family's property, it seems that Sheng Weiqiao's family has never lived there in person before, so the scenery and furnishings there are of course ordinary.
There was only one rose in the courtyard. Due to the warm weather in Nanfeng County, it was late autumn, but they were still blooming in full bloom. Their fragrance was overflowing and they added a lot of color.
Huan Yehe asked people to move tables and chairs to the east of the rose flower stand and set them up to make tea and fruits. Fang waved his legs and asked everyone to move back. He said in a low voice: "The news his family will receive tomorrow morning is that the dramatic changes in Chang'an: Gaomi The king was suddenly poisoned and Qi Jianxun was absent. The prince could not suppress the situation. After being attacked overnight by Meng Guiyu, he quickly retreated! As if Chang'an has fallen into Meng Guiyu's control, the Gaomi King's faction is retreating towards Western Xinjiang!"
"... Then his grandfather and the others?!" Sheng Weiqiao was startled and asked, "Do you know if I have any news?"
Huan Yehe looked at her a little strangely: "Kang Zhao, if I really care, I will be confused. I never thought that King Gaomi is such a good person, how could he be poisoned?"
Sheng Weiqiao said in surprise: "Didn't he fight Meng Guiyu for many months?"
"I thought it was Meng Guiyu who did it?" Huan Yehe shook his head and said, "Meng Guiyu has a shallow foundation, how can he have such ability? Even if a large number of Meng's people were killed, Meng Boqin defected to Ruru, so that many Meng's party members would He had to join his army, but how many days did it take? How could he have accumulated such a foundation?"
Sheng Weiqiao heard the meaning of her words, his eyes narrowed, and he whispered: "I suspect...?"
"No doubt, no certainty!" Huan Yehe's eyes flashed and he said, "It must be my husband-in-law who did it... So my elders in Chang'an don't need to worry at all! Why can't Mi Zhen take good care of them? ?”
"The war is in turmoil, but we hope nothing unexpected happens!" Sheng Weiqiao was very confident, but because he had not seen Old Mrs. Feng and others safe with his own eyes, he felt a little uneasy and did not dare to speak too confidently. , and said in deep thought, "Thank you for telling him the news... His mother was telling him about his grandfather just now! Please tell me, his grandfather has a mistress in Chang'an. They don't know how to explain it to the Feng family later. Isn’t it shameless to wrong my grandfather?”
Huan Yehe noticed that she didn't mention Mrs. Sheng and his wife, because he knew that Mrs. Ming was not Sheng Weiqiao's direct grandmother, and it was only natural that there was some distance between grandparents and grandchildren. As Sheng Weiqiao's direct grandfather, the outside world had always said that Mrs. Sheng was very fond of her. Ruosheng Weiqiao's granddaughter.
At that time, Sheng Weiqiao didn't say a word... Huan Ye thought about it for a while, but without pointing out the point, he said: "The reason why he is so anxious to invite me over is because of the news. Even if he doesn't tell me, Mi Zhen will send someone to report to me sooner or later, and there will probably be detailed information about Ling's grandfather and others."
After a pause, she said, "The reason why he invited me here is because of... Meng Guiyu!"
"Meng Guiyu?" Sheng Weiqiao was slightly startled, a little surprised, "Do I have any news about him? No, what?"
