Sheng Wei Qiaoxin said: "You just noticed, I have been guiding for so long!"

But he said quietly: "I don't know this, I, like the general, came to Northern Xinjiang from Western Xinjiang." What happened in front of the Hussar General's Mansion was told to me by the way when General Lu came to ask for peace. ”

Meng Jiaqian's face was pale, and his expression changed for a long time, so he had no intention of sitting down again, and under the pretext that the injury had not healed, he retired with Sheng Weiqiao.

After he left, Xuan Yu Feng walked out from behind the screen and said with a smile: "Qiao'er, you are really getting worse and worse at you! The brothers are reunited after a long absence, and you want to provoke them to be suspicious of each other?"

Sheng Weiqiao said angrily: "What did I provoke? Isn't what I said the truth? Meng Jiaqian tried to serve the country, but he fell to the point where he didn't even dare to see his brother-in-law...... Don't you want me to tell him something about what's going on in Northern Xinjiang lately?"

Xuan Yu Feng smiled and said: "You and my aunt and I are still pretending? You first tell him that the so-called Meng clan's collusion with Ru Ru actually has no inside information, and his situation at this time is really being cheated! Then tell him about the incident between Meng Cheng's family and his family at the gate of the Hussar General's Mansion, which arouses his suspicion! In this way, when he looks back, he finds out who told his family about Meng Cheng's death, and can he not suspect that the real culprit behind the plot of Meng clan's collusion with Ru Ru is one person, or at least an accomplice?"

"Then don't blame me!" Sheng Weiqiao played with the tea bowl in his hand and said leisurely, "Who told some people that he wanted to fall into the well? And I don't know who told Meng Cheng's family." What if it weren't for Meng Jiayuan? My aunt would say now that I provoked discord between other brothers and sisters, and it would be too wronged!"

Xuan Yu Feng said: "It's not that he has anything to do with him!" Although Meng Jiaqian has always been very favored by Meng Boqin before, he is just a junior in the end. At this time, they are already on the verge of ruining their future, such as General Huaihua and his ilk, can they still chase after and fight fiercely? Asking Meng Cheng's family to make trouble in front of the Great General's Mansion is, in the final analysis, to do things absolutely and not give Meng Jiaqian a chance to turn over at all!"

"If this is necessary, the most likely one is Meng Jiayuan, right?"

"Although he is the eldest son, who said that Meng Boqin is the most painful is Meng Jiaqian?"

"Meng Jiaqian went to Western Xinjiang before, although he took 3,000 elite horsemen with him, he didn't stay in Northern Xinjiang to fight with him. ”

Now that this younger brother has come back in a gloomy way, in case Meng Boqin thinks of the relationship between father and son, and after beating and scolding, he will give him a chance...... The western frontier obviously has no place for Meng Jiaqian, so I can't say that I have to share the power of Meng Jiayuan?"

She chuckled, "In order to avoid this situation, take advantage of Meng Cheng's death to completely ruin Meng Jiaqian's impression in Meng Boqin's mind, so that even if this younger brother makes a comeback by his father's favor in the future, he will be rejected and guarded by an old man, and he will not be able to fight against him...... Isn't that a reasonable thing to do?"

"These are all aunt's guesses. Sheng Weiqiao smiled indifferently, not admitting or denying it, "If you can't do it accurately, what the facts are, you have to check it yourself...... Well, Meng Jiayuan is here, and General Huaihua's people shouldn't be far away, right?"

Zhao Shi's people were indeed not far away, and at noon the next day, they brought a batch of silk satin, rouge gouache, hairpin rings and other items for female dependents, as well as special things for Sheng Weiqiao's fetal nourishment, and seven or eight good-looking maids, arrived in the army.

"Uncle is so polite!" Sheng Weiqiao received the visitor with a pleasant face, this person is not a general in the Western Xinjiang Army, nor a Western Xinjiang official, but an old servant in front of Zhao Shi, named Zhao Bao, who is about the same age as Zhao Shi, more than half a hundred, and his sideburns have gray traces, but he looks very energetic, and his dismounting movements are full of neat energy.

After listening to Sheng Weiqiao's words, he said: "Where is this Niangniang? Niangniang has come all the way to northern Xinjiang, and she must have suffered a lot along the way, and our general has been looking at it a few days ago, and I wish I could see you as soon as possible! The old slave quietly told you an interesting story: The old man was still asking in distress two days ago, saying that the first time he saw his nephew and daughter-in-law, what should he give to meet him? The gang of people who killed people in battle called a bad idea, this one said to give you a horse, that one said to give you a sword, and another one who was dazed actually said to give you a group of beautiful women!

"Because I left in a hurry, I didn't have time to bring anything to my uncle, why am I embarrassed to ask for my uncle's things at this time?" Sheng Weiqiao said busily when he heard this, "Uncle has been okay recently? ”

Zhao Bao said with a smile: "Thanks to you and the king of the county, everything is fine with the general." ”

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the topic inevitably turned to Chang'an, and Zhao Bao carefully asked about the situation of the Zhao family...... Sheng Weiqiao is actually a little embarrassed about this kind of problem, because she and the Zhao family haven't moved around much, and because of Zhao Taocheng, it's a little awkward to meet each other, so they won't be able to understand each other carefully!

Fortunately, Zhao Bao has followed Zhao Shi in Northern Xinjiang for many years, and he has long been unfamiliar with Chang'an, that is, the juniors of the Zhao family, he is not familiar with it, and he is mainly concerned about the three of Mrs. Qin, Zhao Yu and Princess Gaomi.

Sheng Weiqiao then picked good words and praised the three of them, Zhao Bao was very satisfied with what he heard, and sighed: "I haven't seen the old lady, the second master and the princess for many years, I don't think the old slave is an old bone, and today I can still witness the demeanor of the princess of the county." ”

"The old man should be old and strong, why worry that he won't be able to fulfill his long-cherished wish in the future?" Sheng Weiqiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, carefully studied his expression, and couldn't tell if this was intentional or not, but he secretly wrote it down in his heart, and said with a smile, "Chang'an's grandmother, second uncle and mother concubine often think about the eldest uncle and you!"

Zhao Bao is a man after all, it was early in the twilight at this time, and after talking for a while, he watched the outside gradually darken, and he got up and retired.

Of course, the maid and miscellaneous things were left, Sheng Weiqiao called Yishan to take people to the place, and went inside to change into a regular dress for home, and said to Feng Shi: "The old servant of Fang Cai has a lot of nostalgia for Chang'an in his words, and I don't know if he thinks so, or General Huaihua is also in this mood?"

Xuan Yu Feng muttered: "There is a way that although Liang Yuan is good, it is not the hometown of long-term love. Especially in northern Xinjiang, it can't be compared with the prosperity of Chang'an, and it is not surprising that General Huaihua misses Chang'an. Well, what did you think of? When you look back at General Huaihua, start with this? The problem is, your father-in-law, who had the first emperor to support him, has not been able to suppress the Meng clan so far! If Mi Zhen passes the Western Frontier level, he is only qualified to participate in the competition for the big position, right?"

"But how can I fulfill General Huaihua's wish to return to Chang'an as soon as possible and reunite with his family?"

Sheng Weiqiao said: "But Mizhen is young!"

She smiled, "How old is my father-in-law? Even if the prince is born and has a good foundation, he has not spent as much time as His Majesty has lost his vitality over the years, but he has not been able to fight the Meng family until now, if it drags on for a few more years, will he be able to afford it?"

Xuan Yu Feng said: "The Queen Mother and the three brothers of Zheng Guogong seem to be older than your father-in-law, right?"

"However, there are many people in the family, and there is a lot of discussion. Sheng Wei Qiao Shi said, "There are still successors...... Whether it is Meng Boqin, the descendants of Marquis Wu'an, Marquis Chengyang, including Meng Guiyu of the fourth room of the Meng family, he can go up on behalf of Zheng Guogong's generation at any time!"

"But what about my father-in-law? The prince he supports wholeheartedly, not to mention being able to suppress the group of people in the Meng family, just pick one out, one-on-one, the prince may not be able to win, right?"

"In this case, General Huaihua does not choose Mizhen, unless the father-in-law quickly cuts through the chaos and decides with the Meng clan, wouldn't it be a bleak future?"

"......" Xuan Yu Feng thought about it carefully, and bowed his head, "Let's try it! People are generals who have been stationed in northern Xinjiang for many years, and this kind of person is the most resolute, and it is not so easy to convince." ”

The aunt and nephew discussed it, so they called Yishan to come in and concentrate on the matter of dressing up.

That night, Lu Shiyu held a banquet in the army and invited Meng Jiayuan to the banquet, and Meng Jiaqian also attended.

Sheng Weiqiao, as a female dependent and a pregnant woman, naturally would not appear at the table.

However, Meng Jiayuan came under the banner of welcoming her, and after entering the camp, he naturally came to greet her first.

She took the opportunity to take a look at the eldest grandson of Zheng Guogong, Meng Jiayuan said that it was Meng Boqin's eldest son, and there were three younger siblings between him and Meng Jiaqian, who was actually two years older than Meng Jiaqian.

In other words, Meng Boqin's knees, the second, third and fourth children, are all concubines.

This Meng Jiayuan's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Empress Dowager Meng, not handsome, but can only be said to have good facial features.

Thanks to the careful cultivation of the Meng family, although Meng Jiayuan's identity in northern Xinjiang is extraordinary, he has a calm demeanor, without the slightest arrogance and impetuousness of the noble children...... It seems that he has been arranged to go to the battlefield to sharpen.

His attitude towards Sheng Weiqiao was very formal, which meant respectful and distant, a polite greeting, a polite greeting, a polite and thoughtful thank her for her mediation for the Meng family and Meng Jiaqian, and then retired to the banquet at just the right time.

When leaving, she left a gift list, and Yi Shan showed it to Sheng Weiqiao, which was similar to the type of things sent by Zhao Bao, ten maids, clothing and jewelry for female dependents, fat powder, and some medicinal materials for pregnant women, such as Ejiao bird's nest.

Both the number of people and the weight are slightly more than Zhao Bao's.

"Probably because the rank of the hussar general is higher than that of the Huaihua general. Xuan Yu Feng said, "So General Huaihua's Lu Shiyu Department has 5,000 elite soldiers to escort you, and the hussar general will send 6,000 to greet you;

Sheng Weiqiao groaned: "Maybe he deliberately beat us? Even if General Huaihua is Mizhen's uncle, the number one person in Northern Xinjiang, in the final analysis, is he Meng Boqin?"

Xuan Yu Feng said: "If these things are to express this meaning, you should be cautious when you meet Meng Boqin when you go back." Now that Meng is still asking for Mizhen because of Meng Jiaqian's affairs, he still doesn't forget to demonstrate with you, which shows that in his bones he is unwilling to bow his head, does not like to be led by others, and is accustomed to taking everything in the palm of his own hands. ”

"It doesn't matter. Sheng Weiqiao said disapprenousively, "Meng Boqin is not General Huaihua after all, General Huaihua is Mizhen's uncle, and he has no idea of self-reliance, so he has the hope of being brought under Mizhen's command." As for this hussar general, with temporary cooperation, who can expect to be with him for a long time...... It's just a way to persuade General Huaihua to run into trouble, and it may not be useful?"

Xuan Yu Feng said "um": "It's good that you know." ”

In the next few days, the aunt and nephew inquired about the situation in northern Xinjiang and discussed the rhetoric at that time, and before they knew it, the group arrived at Jizhou City, the capital of northern Xinjiang.

Since Zhao Shi is an uncle and an elder after all, it is impossible for him to come out in person to greet his seventeen-year-old niece and daughter-in-law, and he did not bring his family with him, at this moment, Zhao Bao came forward on his behalf and set up a banquet ten miles outside the city to treat each other.

On Meng Boqin's side, his family is in Jizhou City, but he really sent several sons and daughters-in-law over...... Of course, eighty percent is also taking into account Meng Jiaqian.
