Chapter 209: What to Do???
It's not far from the house, forget the worries and make the place clear, the aunt and nephew led the maid, and it was very easy to find the place. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, there were a few young ladies on the side of the house, but they were all strangers, and nodding to each other was counted as a greeting, and they no longer paid attention to each other.
After the two finished changing, they shook their hands, slightly adjusted their makeup in front of the bronze mirror outside, and looked at it almost, and left.
Out of the house, along the path to bypass the main hall of Guichunyuan, and hide behind the rockery to forget the worries, because this place is not far from the main hall, so there is not much to say, are hurried to Xiaoxuan back.
After walking out for a while, he forgot his worries and smiled: "The two of you came back so quickly, I don't think you met an acquaintance?"
"We didn't know a lot of people. Sheng Weiqiao said, "There are a few young ladies over there who look very raw, and they don't need to spend any time." ”
Forget your worries and hurriedly apologize, and said apologetically: "The slave maid said something wrong, Miss Sheng San, please don't misunderstand, the slave maid has no meaning." ”
She followed Huan Yehe, and she was also a little famous in the circle of noble girls in Chang'an, and she had the decency to laugh a few words with a young lady like Sheng Weiqiao, but she was negligent for a while, forgetting that Sheng Weiqiao had come to Chang'an not long ago, and her friendship was far from being extensive. So I asked her if she didn't delay her work because she didn't meet an acquaintance, which was somewhat ridiculous for her being nameless and ignored.
This will be overwhelmed and explained.
Fortunately, Sheng Weiqiao didn't care: "You are a powerful person in front of the county lord, I didn't turn my face when I talked to the county lord just now, and the county lord will still look at my sister for me! Why would you say sour things to me inexplicably? Don't worry, I didn't misunderstand, it's just that walking is boring at this moment, just chatting casually." ”
Forget the worries and hear the words, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Miss Sheng San is really generous, and it is strange that the county lord of my family is full of praise when he mentions you." ”
Sheng Weiqiao didn't believe it at all, her lack of learning and no skills made Huan Yehe feel heartbroken for a long time in the middle of the night, this county lord didn't say behind her back that she had ruined a good background, how could she praise it?
So he only smiled: "I've always been lazy, I can be described as useless, where is it worth the county lord's teeth?"
Because he was too lazy to be so polite with Forget Worries, he didn't wait for the maid to answer, and immediately changed the topic, saying, "Listening to this music, it seems that the main hall is dancing "Pan Encouragement"?"
At this time, although they had already left the main hall for some distance, because the platform in front of the main hall was relatively high, this "Pan Encouragement" had a lot of drums and was very loud, so they listened to it cordially.
Forget the worry and listen to the rhythm, nodded and said: "It is indeed "Pan Encouragement". ”
I asked them if they wanted to go back and have a look, "It is said that in order to celebrate the birthday of the fourteenth lady of their family, the Zheng Guogong Mansion specially invited a few masters from the palace to come. A few of them seem to be famous for being good at "Pan Inspiration". ”
"If you look at it, you won't look at it. Sheng Weiqiao smiled and said, "It's too late to be far away from there...... The county lord of your family is not going, let alone us? It's just that I remembered that I used to order this song when I was at home, and when I heard the sound of the drums, I felt a little emotional. ”
As he was talking, several dense drums came, like a shower hitting a new lotus, and like a series of arrows, and the group of people who hit it subconsciously held their breath.
Outside the verandah, at the tips of the Qiongzhi jade tree, a few clouds of snow that had accumulated to the extreme fell to the ground unbearable, and small clouds of hail fog fell out, which became more and more dense with the vast cold in the atrium at this moment.
The drumbeat came suddenly, and the stop was also abrupt, and the branches that had reduced the burden were still swaying in the north wind with a silver arc, but the drum sound disappeared without a trace as if it had never appeared, so that the heart that was beating rapidly was empty, and there was some melancholy that could not return to the senses.
Fortunately, the silk and bamboo followed, because they were getting farther and farther, they gradually listened to it not very clearly, but mixed in the howling north wind, mixed with weeping and whimpering, but also had a different feeling of depression in response to the situation.
It's just that in this burst of silk and bamboo sounds that seemed to be whimpering, Sheng Weiqiao suddenly heard that in the rockery cave not far away, there seemed to be a few real girls' whimpering?
"Could it be that there is a maid who has been beaten and scolded and hid and cried?" she thought so, and subconsciously glanced over there, just because the entrance of the cave happened to be not facing this side, and the mountain blocked her gaze, so she didn't see anything.
Sheng Weiqiao didn't plan to meddle in things, so he immediately withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention.
After all, so many people have told her that the Zheng Guogong Mansion will not be peaceful today, even if it is a little trivial, here and now, God knows what kind of turmoil will brew in the end?
It's not just that she thinks so, Gongsun Yingjiang, the most deaf and clear-eyed in the group, was the first to hear it, but she didn't even tilt her head towards the rockery, her task today is to protect Sheng Weiqiao, in addition, more things are better than less things, not to mention listening to the whimper and asking, that is, Sheng Weiqiao wants to go over, she can't stop it.
The maids who forgot their worries and waited for the same attitude, and for a while they were all silent, lightened their steps, and planned to walk over quietly.
In fact, this rockery is the only way to go to Xiaoxuan.
Otherwise, they might have taken a detour for the sake of safety.
"But if we walk quietly now, the people inside may not be able to spot us. Sheng Weiqiao thought so in his heart, and smiled a little self-defeatingly, "I'm really loud too...... If the maid hides in the cave and cries after being beaten, and the guests hear it and are afraid, how can they dare to come out and entangle?"
Who knew that just as they were about to walk near the cave, there was a scuffle and a short man's cry of pain, followed by a loud slap, and the girl who whimpered before seemed to seize the opportunity and screamed, "Save ......"
It's a pity that I only screamed halfway, and my mouth was covered again!
However, Forget Worry has changed his face, and subconsciously blurted out: "Miss Meng Shishi?!"
Before the words came out, they had been annihilated by the howling north wind, and I didn't hear them in the cave.
However, they are close at hand, but they have already heard it clearly!
Sheng Weiqiao and Gongsun Yingjiang did not have much contact with Meng Biyun, and Meng Biyun was a taciturn character, so the aunt and nephew were not familiar with this girl's voice.
But forgetting worries is different, she followed the master Huan Yehe, and she can be said to be prosperous in the circle of noble girls in Chang'an, and even Princess Gaomi, who has not appeared in front of people for more than ten years, has seen it.
Although Meng Biyun is silent and has always rejected people thousands of miles away, Huan Yehe also gets along well with her.
Forget your worries and follow the waiter Huan at night, she is no stranger to Meng Biyun's voice, although it happened suddenly, she heard it all at once!
But in this way, the people outside felt a chill rise up their spines!!
Originally, although they tacitly ignored it from the moment they heard the whimper, they didn't think anything big had happened at this time. But after hearing the scuffling in the cave and the man's pain, he knew that the situation was more complicated than he imagined!
At this time, when she heard Meng Biyun call out again, Sheng Weiqiao felt that her hair was about to stand up: she specially followed Huan Yehe to hide in Xiaoxuan in the corner, and when she went to change clothes, she had to deliberately leave a back hand to get out, and she thought that she could avoid today's changes, but she finally survived most of the banquet and came...... I actually ran into it because of a change of clothes?!
Or, the people behind the scenes just designed and deliberately let them break this scene?!
"Let's go!!" When she subconsciously stood on her feet, and looked at the swarthy cave entrance in disbelief, the previous silence came back to her senses, grabbed her and Gongsun Yingjiang's arms, and lowered her voice and said, "Before the people inside have found us, let's leave quickly...... I didn't admit it anyway, so I said that we didn't hear anything, didn't see anything, didn't know anything on the way back to Xiaoxuan after we changed clothes!!"
Sheng Weiqiao was uneasy and was dragged away by her in a hurry, and Gongsun Yingjiang and the others hurriedly followed when they saw this.
It's just that......
After quickly taking more than a dozen steps, Sheng Weiqiao's pace subconsciously slowed down......
Although it is not known the process and details of the battle between the wives and concubines of the Zheng Guo Mansion, what is happening in the cave now...... But it's imaginable.
Although Sheng Weiqiao has always been considered soft-hearted, she also knows that she is indeed a good talker under normal circumstances.
However, she never felt that she was a truly kind girl.
Because when it comes to the safety of her family and herself, she actually inherits the moral flexibility of her father Sheng Lanci.
For example, in the matter of Bishui County, although Meng Boheng had the intention of sending someone to shoot his group at first, but in the end he only shot a horse, but he was kidnapped by Sheng Sleeping Crane and tossed for several days before releasing him.
As for Rong Qing's drunkenness, this little prince was even more wronged, just because Sheng Sleeping Crane attacked Meng Boheng and needed the Huan family's help to deal with the aftermath, so he directly disfigured him and broke his tendons, and made a good disciple of the clan who almost became a prince, and his appearance was damaged and his actions were bad, and it is estimated that he has no future in this life.
Not to mention, when facing people such as Lord Deping who inadvertently touched the truth, Sheng Weiqiao certainly felt empty-hearted, but after the weakness of his heart, the most intense emotion was not shame, but ...... Captive!
Even for this reason, he was full of hostility and vigilance towards the lord of Deping and others.
So......
After forgetting her worries just now, she pulled her away, and she subconsciously did not resist.
But after walking down these dozen steps, although there was no other movement in the cave behind him, Sheng Weiqiao felt that he couldn't leave!
"If the fourth sister and Xiao Qiao were in distress, someone happened to bump into them and save them......" This thought floated up so clearly and painfully, making Sheng Weiqiao walk slower and slower, and finally even stopped directly, and couldn't move forward even if he forgot his worries and pulled hard.
Heaven and man are at war in her heart, and there seem to be two voices arguing:
This one said: "Don't be stupid, the matter between the fourth sister and Xiao Qiao has long passed, and if you save Meng Biyun, it is impossible to redeem the tragedy of your two sisters! Not to mention that you have walked all the way, you have not seen her dragged into the cave at all, it can be seen that you have been in for a long time, and it is estimated that it is too late to turn back and save her!
The one said: "Have you forgotten how long you felt guilty and uncomfortable after the accident between your fourth sister and Xiao Qiao? You are also a girl, and when you meet her and encounter such a thing, you actually do nothing and leave quickly, even if she believes your words afterwards, thinking that you didn't pass by when she called for help, you may have lied to yourself?!"
This one said: "What about the consequences?! If it weren't for the fear of the consequences, of course I wanted to help her! But how could I put myself at risk in order to help her, and even more so affect the entire Sheng family? ! Before, didn't I reject the county lord of Deping because of this?! This Meng Biyun is pitiful, isn't the county lord of Deping pitiful?! Since I was so sober when facing the county lord of Deping, why did I become confused now that the banquet was about to disperse?!"
He also said: "If the purpose of the county lord of Deping is achieved, the small will calculate the major events of my brother's life, and the big one will take the lives of our Sheng family as a stepping stone, of course we can't take half a step back! But unlike the previous situation, Meng Biyun herself has no intention of murdering me or the Sheng family, she just wants to call for help! What's more, as long as Meng Biyun is not the one who will take revenge, after being saved, if she can still become a successor, it will be a personal favor to me and the Sheng family in the future!"
She has been dragged in the cave for so long, how can she have a chance to be a successor?!"
The one said calmly: "No, it doesn't matter if she can't be a successor anymore! It wasn't an unsightly move for me to save her, and I wasn't afraid of letting people know." The people who are worried about it are nothing more than Aunt Jiaoyu's mother and son! But now is the day when the wives and concubines of the Zheng Guogong Mansion fight to the death...... Aunt Jiaoyu has already attacked Meng Biyun, but do you know that Mrs. Xiang is not poisoning Aunt Jiaoyu, Meng Lijiang, and Meng Si'an?! As long as Aunt Jiaoyu falls, even if Meng Biyun can't be the successor anymore, I will be safe!"
This sighed: "But Mrs. Xiang has been suppressed by Aunt Jiaoyu for many years, Mrs. Zheng Guo in name is the concubine in the back house, where did she get the ability to make Aunt Jiaoyu's mother and son down?!
That said sharply: "It is precisely because Mrs. Xiang has been suppressed by Aunt Jiaoyu for many years that she finally has this hope of coming out! As a result, she has not been happy for a few days, and Aunt Jiaoyu wants to take it away, whether it is because she can't swallow this breath, or for the sake of her life in the future, today is already a battle against the water for Mrs. Xiang! Even if Mrs. Xiang fights for her life, how can she make Aunt Jiaoyu's mother and son have a good time?! After all, if she doesn't work hard today, she may not have this opportunity if she wants to work hard in the future!"
The two voices were arguing, each with its own reasons, Sheng Weiqiao's mind was racing, and it was difficult to choose.
It's just that Forget Worry and the others couldn't tolerate her to continue to stay, and Forget Worry pulled a few times to see that she didn't move, and she didn't have to look at her words and looks to know the reason, so she couldn't help frowning, and said in a low voice: "Miss Sheng San......! If you turn back now, the muddy waters of the Zheng Guogong Mansion will also be completely waded in!!"
"I know!" Sheng Weiqiao felt dry mouth, cold hands and feet, and struggled for a long time before he made a hoarse voice, "I ......"
What am I going to do?!!!!
The girl has never been so embarrassed and confused.
