Chapter 204: An Uninvited Guest
Gongsun Yingjiang secretly wailed in his heart: "Little lady, I knew it would be like this!!"
Her aunt is her little uncle's treasure, and she is a grass!
…… Since I met her aunt, my uncle and nephew have grown up together, and it is estimated that they were all eaten by the fifth day of junior high school!!
"Little uncle, you can't blame me for this, this is the people of the Zheng Guo Mansion's ill-intentioned intentions and calculating us!" As the daughter of the sea lord, Gongsun Yingjiang, whose conduct is really a little far away from kindness, of course it is impossible to stand honestly and be trained, and at the moment he wiped his tears while trying his best to cause trouble, "Even that Jingshu County Lord may not be innocent, if she hadn't specially called us to that Xiaoxuan, we have been staying in the lobby with everyone, how could we have this incident?!I really really have the effort to protect my aunt!"
"Lao Tzu doesn't have time to talk to you now!" Sheng Sleeping Crane grimaced and said coldly, "Come here!" Yi Shan will study ink for her, and draw the path layout of the Zheng Guo Mansion that you see today, and draw it with me!"
Gongsun Ying Jiang was startled when he heard this, and Yi Shan was also shocked: "Childe, you must not be in danger with your daughter's body!"
"Little uncle, that Miss Meng Fourteen has never lost her virginity, and she doesn't look like an ungrateful person, even if we stand by and do nothing this time, she will definitely not let go of Aunt Jiaoyu's mother and son!" Gongsun Ying Jiang also said, "And something like this has just happened in the Zheng Guo Mansion, and the palace must be extremely guarded." Uncle Xiao is about to have a spring holiday, how can such a branch be born at this time? Even my aunt knows that she will definitely do her best to oppose it!"
She was familiar with Sheng Sleeping Crane's temper, and she had long expected that Sheng Weiqiao would be secretly relieved when she retreated from the Zheng Guo Mansion, but Sheng Sleeping Crane had to settle accounts with this family.
But she didn't expect that Sheng Sleeping Crane would be so anxious that she planned to take revenge overnight!
At the Tortoiseshell Island meeting, Gongsun Yingjiang didn't care if he behaved like this, after all, almost everyone on the Tortoiseshell Island had this temperament, and it would make people feel cowardly if they didn't do it.
But this is Chang'an City, even if Gongsun Yingjiang believes that Sheng Sleeping Crane will be able to mix up here sooner or later, but now this is not the beginning, is it just a little scholar?
At this time, I will go to the Zheng Guogong Mansion of the Emperor of Qinfeng, the younger brother of the Queen Mother, and the uncle of the Son of Heaven, and the assassin of the Son of Heaven...... Gongsun Yingjiang and Yishan are both thinking at the moment: what Gongsun Xi said is not bad, that Sheng Weiqiao is really a red face!!
Both of them had the heart to dissuade them, but after being stared at by Sheng Shenghe's cold gaze for a moment, Gongsun Yingjiang still surrendered spinelessly, and said with a smile, "...... I paint!"
Gongsun Ying Jiang fearfully described the path of the back house of the Zhengguo Mansion and what he saw along the way, in the wing, looking at Sheng Weiqiao who fell asleep after coming back, and several big maids in the green brocade looked at each other, and only felt that it was not worrying: "Finally, Miss can be regarded as coming out of the study, and I want to ask Miss why the young man is angry, if he is coming for the young lady, he must try to persuade the young lady to dissipate his anger...... How do you know that the young lady just came back and went to sleep, what will she do?"
Seeing that Lu Qi and Ju Li were tightly frowning, Jinli was silent, and after thinking for a while, he said cautiously: "The slave maid saw that the eyes of the young lady were red and swollen when she came out, and the son specially called the soothing soup for the young lady to drink, it seems that the young lady has been crying in the study for a long time, so that the young lady is afraid that the young lady will cry a good way." ”
Although this was not explicitly stated, it was also tactful hints, and she suspected that Sheng Weiqiao would cry to the point of needing to drink soothing soup precisely because of Sheng Sleeping Crane's anger.
“…… There is no one in the study to serve, we don't know the details, speculation is just speculation after all, and let's talk about it after Miss wakes up!" Lu Jin was silent for a long time, and finally sighed silently, and said lightly, "However, while Miss is still asleep at this time, let me ask you: Do you say, is it important for the Sheng family to have someone to honor their ancestors, or is it more important for Miss to be peaceful in the future?"
She has been persuading Sheng Weiqiao to have a good relationship with Sheng Sleeping Crane for the past two years, but at present, in her opinion, the young lady she serves can't listen to her at all, but she has been treating Sheng Sleeping Crane more harshly......
To be honest, Lu Jin felt that Sheng Sleeping Crane had a bad relationship with Sheng Weiqiao's brothers and sisters, and this really couldn't be blamed on Sheng Sleeping Crane.
As the eldest son of a concubine who grew up outside until he was seventeen years old before being accepted into the house to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, Sheng Sleeping Crane was self-denying and tolerant of Sheng Weiqiao's sister-in-law.
However, Sheng Weiqiao, even if Lu Jin is her personal maid, she also feels that her young lady is quite excessive, even aggressive, when she treats Sheng Sleeping Crane.
The problem is that the person she is loyal to is Sheng Weiqiao.
So even if she thinks that Sheng Weiqiao didn't handle the relationship with her brother well and stands in the position of Lu Jin, even if she has always felt that Sheng Sleeping Crane is actually good, but considering that this person is likely to have a great bad feeling towards Sheng Weiqiao because of Sheng Weiqiao's provocations, harshness, troublemaking, etc., so that he will be indifferent or even suppress Sheng Weiqiao in the future, Lu Jin still treats this eldest son as an enemy!
Asking this at the moment, it is implying that Lu Qi, Ju Fence and Hibiscus Fence have expressed their position.
…… The undercurrent here in the mansion is turbulent, and the families of the other girls who participated in the birthday banquet of Zheng Guogong's Mansion on this day are not calm.
Chongxin Bofu, Meng Guiyu listened carefully to Meng Guihuan's description, and frowned slightly: "The wind is calm, is it that the three young ladies of the Sheng family and the county lord of Jingshu left early?"
Meng Guihuan nodded, his face full of doubts: "Miss Sheng San and I originally made an appointment to enter the mansion and act together. When I entered Manjuanzhai, I also took Miss Sheng San and them upstairs to congratulate my fourteenth sister in person. But later, when I went to Gui Chunyuan to sit at the table, because I was afraid that something would happen to the fourteenth sister and the fifteenth sister sitting together, everyone asked me to sit around the fourteenth sister with the county lord Jingshu, but I couldn't refuse, so I could only agree. At that time, the scene was chaotic and there were many people, so I didn't care about Miss Sheng San. Later, I saw that they found a place to sit near the last place, thinking that although it was inconvenient to stand there, it was also clean, so I didn't let them change places. ”
After the banquet was held, after three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere was warm, Sheng Weiqiao and the three of them were greeted by people, as the girl of Meng's fourth room, who has risen in recent years, Meng Guihuan is not short of people around.
She is not Sheng Weiqiao, she is wholeheartedly thinking about going back to Nanfeng County, so she is not only enthusiastic about other people's active conversations, but even a little avoidant. Meng Guihuan, who is very keen on power, fame and fortune, will not refuse this opportunity to expand his contacts and enhance friendship.
As a result, after a round of greetings, when I paid attention to Sheng Weiqiao and the three of them, I was told that they had quietly left the table.
Meng Guihuan thought that they had gone to change their clothes together at this time, but they hadn't come back after meeting people, so they sent someone to inquire again, only to learn from the girl near their seat that Sheng Weiqiao and the three of them were invited away by Huan Yehe.
"I remember that although Miss Sheng San met with the county lord of Jingshu, it was the second time she entered the palace to meet her aunt, and she happened to bump into the county lord of Jingshu who made clothes for her aunt and went to Xinshou Palace to offer her ...... and the Sheng family brothers and sisters wanted to buy a bigger house before, but in the process of looking at the house, they happened to meet the county lord Jingshu. The two contacts, although there is no conflict, but there seems to be no deep talk or friendship?"
"Why is it that at today's banquet, when the county lord Jingshu also found an excuse to avoid the banquet after the fourteenth sister left, no one else shouted, but called Miss Sheng San and her party?"
Meng Guihan frowned, and said: "Didn't you say before that the Sheng family may not have nothing to do with the affairs of Bishui County? Is it possible that they have known each other in Bishui County, but they have been hiding it? Speaking of which, the matter of Bishui County is so difficult to investigate, maybe there is a reason why the Huan family is in the way? They are the local snakes of the time-honored brand in Bishui County, it is said that what happened in Bishui County, or what happened in their old mansion, how could they not find any clues?!"
"But Seventh Brother, have you forgotten the disappearance of Duke Huan in the past?" Before Meng Guiyu could answer, Meng Guihuan had already reminded, "That is the pillar of the entire Huan family's Dinghai Divine Needle! Isn't it the disappearance in the Huan family's ancestral house?
"The matter of Bishui County has little to do with our four rooms, so there is no need to bother about it. Meng Guiyu waved his hand to stop the dispute between his younger siblings that was about to start, and muttered, "As for saying that County Lord Jingshu and Miss Sheng San may have met in Bishui County, this is unlikely. Because when the Sheng Jialou boat docked in Bishui County, the county lord of Jingshu had been in the old mansion of the Huan family outside the city, and he didn't leave half a step at all, except for the afternoon nap time, there were a group of people including Rong Qingzui and the eighth brother himself to testify. ”
"What's more, the county lord of Jingshu has always been shrewd, if she had known Miss Sheng San a long time ago, even if the Huan family and the Sheng family had a clear conscience in the matter of Bishui County, in order to avoid suspicion, they should not approach. It can be seen that she invited Miss Sheng San and her party today, it should be for another reason!"
Meng Guihuan bit his lip and said, "I always feel ...... When most of the people were at the table today, something happened in the Guogong Mansion, which happened to make the county lord Jingshu bump into them, so that the Guogong Mansion asked them to leave early!"
She cared so much about this matter, not all because of her own curiosity, but, "Anyone with a discerning eye knows that an aunt and Aunt Jiaoyu will definitely have a fight today." But because the wife has always been peaceful at the table, it is unknown who will win or tie this time. Do you want me to go to the Sheng Mansion tomorrow and find out what they are talking about?"
After all, they had just betrayed Aunt Jiaoyu and switched to Mrs. Xiang's command.
If Mrs. Xiang wins this time, it will be okay, at most she will continue to endure Mrs. Xiang's harshness.
If it's Aunt Jiaoyu who wins, it's going to be fatal!
"You haven't had a lot of dealings with Miss Sheng San so far, and she may not be willing to tell you about it. Meng Guiyu listened, but shook his head and said, "It is impossible to hide this kind of thing for a long time, let's just wait and see what happens." After all, if the eldest aunt loses, even if we know in advance, what can we do?"
Seeing that Meng Guihuan's expression was gloomy, Meng Guihan was also a little worried between his eyebrows, so he comforted, "Even if Aunt Jiaoyu wins, she may not be able to get us for the time being." After all, my aunt has never liked Aunt Jiaoyu very much, we are my aunt's own nephews and nieces, how can my aunt watch a concubine practice Meng's blood and blood? And even if the fifteenth sister replaces the fourteenth sister as the successor, without the power of the eldest uncle in the government and the opposition, and without the support of the military power in the hands of the third brother, where can we sit firmly in the back position? Big deal, when the time comes, let's leave Chang'an and go to northern Xinjiang to join the third brother, at most it will be more difficult!"
Hearing that there was a way out, Meng Guihan and Meng Guihuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Meng Guihan was still worried about Empress Dowager Meng's desire to match Meng Guiyu and Sheng Weiqiao, and couldn't help but worry: "But in this case, I don't know if the sixth brother can still marry Miss Sheng San?"
"People live in the south, and they are the pearl of the family, and eighty percent of them are unwilling to go to the north with me to suffer. Meng Guiyu took the opportunity to say, "So it's better to let this matter go with the flow, so don't worry about it...... It's not early, let's go back to sleep, and we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
sent his younger siblings to settle down, but Meng Guiyu himself still had to go to the study to deal with the backlog of official duties.
The constraints of Chongxin Bofu are not a secret in the whole of Chang'an, and although Meng Guiyu's study is the most important place in Hefu, it will naturally not be too gorgeous.
Push the door in, but see the blue brick paving, the furniture is made of ordinary wood, no lines and no carvings, simple to the point that people feel shabby. If it weren't for the fact that the bookshelves on the four walls were full of uneven volumes, which added a lot of bookish flavor to this room, it would look like the furnishings of ordinary well-off people.
However, Meng Guiyu didn't care, he took the scholar Meng Yan into the house, and took advantage of Meng An's efforts to make ink and tea, picked up an official document and opened it to read.
After reading it, he happened to take the wolf hair from the pen holder, and was about to dip the ink in the inkstone at hand, when he suddenly felt something strange behind him, and suddenly turned his head, but saw Meng Yan's face frightened and shocked, and he was pointing to the figure of the Xuanyi who suddenly appeared behind him at some point, and almost wanted to exclaim!
