Chapter 290: Zheng Guogong with a congested heart
Zheng Guogong Meng Xue is already over the age of sixties, because of the long years of hard work and political affairs, as well as the gentle township of indulging in favored concubines, although he has been living a good life since this dynasty, this time also shows a clear old state.
But to be honest, looking at his eyebrows, even when he was young, he probably wasn't a beautiful man...... After all, the reason why his sister Empress Dowager Meng was not loved by the first emperor was because her appearance was not very good.
But this popularity is very good, obviously he didn't get the show, not to mention the bookish breath of the partial body, and the eyebrows are also calm and indifferent.
When Sheng Weiqiao followed Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Sleeping Crane into the door, when she saw him at first glance, she thought it was a great Confucian who was full of poetry and books.
After listening to the introduction, I secretly said in my heart that this is really unseemly.
Who would have thought that this simple moral model would be a master who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife?
Oh, not only did he spoil his concubine and kill his wife, but he also gave his sixteen-year-old concubine to his nephew at fifty-one as a continuation...... Judging from a girl of Sheng Weiqiao's age, she is simply a scumbag and a scumbag!
Thinking of this, she secretly pursed the corners of her lips.
Over there, Zheng Guogong didn't know Sheng Weiqiao's slander of his belly, and when he saw her peeking at herself, he nodded at her very approachable, his eyes were very tolerant and kind, as if he was looking at his own naughty little granddaughter.
This made Sheng Weiqiao a little awe-inspired, after all, the reason why she was dragged over was because when the Nan clan sent the maid to the garden to call people, she said the intention of the Gaomi Wang and his wife, and the fact that Zheng Guogong was also present, this is good!
Without waiting for Old Lady Sheng to be stunned, Sheng Sleeping Crane came to take the lead, and he denied it outright, and it was nine thunders, and there were all kinds of doubts, and he was incoherent...... The old marquis Xu and Xu Baomo, who originally planned to quickly appease Mrs. Sheng, had to give priority to comforting him, and in the end, even Mrs. Sheng coaxed him to calm down: Since the Gaomi Wang and his wife came to the door in person, and Zheng Guogong was present, it was obvious that he couldn't hide, so it was better to simply go out and confront him and find out in public!
In this way, no one will be able to talk about his life experience in the future!
Sheng Sleeping Crane persuaded them for a while before agreeing to go to the main hall, and proposed to pull Sheng Weiqiao up, the reason is to let the Gaomi Wang and his wife and Zheng Guogong see clearly, he has a sister, how can he be the heir of the Gaomi Wang and his wife!
Old Lady Sheng and Old Marquis Xu were both confused by this sudden news, and they thought that he had been hit too much and needed to use this way to gain some security, so they didn't say anything!
So when Sheng Weiqiao heard the news, don't mention her mood!
It's not a question of how blind she used to be, it's because she didn't have eyes at all before, right?!
Why don't you see that this bastard is shameless?!
Obviously, he was planning to restore his identity, but at this time, the Gaomi Wang couple took the initiative to come to the door, and he immediately turned into a pitiful little who didn't know anything!
"The reason why the eighty percent Gaomi Wang couple took the initiative to come to the door was also calculated by this bastard!" Sheng Weiqiao was indignant in his heart, "He still has to ask me to come...... Why are you afraid that it's really not my Sheng family, so I need my half-sister to comfort me, grandfather and old marquis Xu don't have long eyes? Why is he so easy to deceive! He is simply showing off his skills to me! Hmph!!"
Therefore, the girl looked at Zheng Guogong's calm and calm appearance with a calm face and a special gesture from a strange junior, and felt admiration from the bottom of her heart:
The maid is estimated to have been waiting in the main hall early in the morning, and she went to the back garden to call people, and she said it in detail!
…… When Zheng Guogong came, it was when the Nan family and Princess Gaomi were arguing about whose family the Sheng Sleeping Crane was, although at this time the Nan family insisted that Sheng Sleeping Crane should be surnamed Sheng, and the Gaomi Mansion must have found the wrong person, but when he heard that Zheng Guogong was coming, his heart sank!
If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, although the Sheng Sleeping Crane brothers and sisters did not live in Ningwei Hou's Mansion some time ago, but the Hou Mansion has been paying attention to their movements, knowing that because Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwei sisters are very appreciated in front of Empress Dowager Meng;
The most terrible thing is that the success of Sheng Sleeping Crane's examination and palace examination this time is not unrelated to Meng's care.
After all, when everyone goes through the back door, those who don't go through the back door are at a loss. How did Meng Shi also give Sheng Sleeping Crane a chance not to suffer.
In this case, if Sheng Sleeping Crane really has nothing to do with Gaomi Palace, it would be okay, Zheng Guogong came to the door, just to be a witness in person, lest Sheng Sleeping Crane be tied to the ship of Gaomi Palace.
But the prince and princess are not stupid, how can the couple come to the door openly to ask for someone if they are not sure?
Nan's denial at first was just because he had never thought of this possibility, and he subconsciously couldn't believe it.
At this time, I thought that if Sheng Sleeping Crane was really the bloodline of the Gaomi Palace, this would not offend the Meng clan a little!
When the time comes, he will go back to be his little prince, what should he do if he leaves the Sheng family and the Xu family?
When Nan heard the news, he first regretted it, and felt that he should not let Meng know, let alone take the initiative to inform him.
But he quickly reacted, with the friendship between the Sheng family and the Xu family, as well as the Sheng family's personality, if he had known that Sheng Sleeping Crane was the bloodline of Gaomi Palace, he would definitely not say hello and hand over such a hot potato to his own family.
So if there is really something wrong with Sheng Sleeping Crane's life experience, I am afraid that the Sheng family has also been deceived...... Or, Sheng Sleeping Crane himself doesn't even know?
In this way, it is a good thing to call the Meng family over, at least, it can leave out the Sheng and Xu families to the greatest extent, isn't it?
This is not Nan's selfishness, after all, she is good to Sheng Mianhe, mainly for the sake of the friendship between the Sheng and Xu families, otherwise there are more outstanding young people in the world, and I haven't seen her so good to others.
So if Sheng Sleeping Crane is not the heir of the Sheng family, of course she must give priority to her own family and the Sheng family, so as not to be swept into the whirlpool of court battles.
Therefore, the Nan family simply stopped the argument with Princess Gaomi for the time being, and did not call Sheng Shenghe to come out, but only ordered someone to invite Zheng Guogong in and sit down, and briefly told Zheng Guogong the ins and outs of the matter: "We are from a humble background, and we have always rarely moved around with the palace and the Zheng Guogong Mansion. Today, the prince and the princess suddenly came to visit in person, and while they were shining, they also felt really frightened. It was still the little girl who thought of the day when the spring festival had just begun, and she and the girls of the Sheng family sent each other's brothers to the tribute courtyard. ”
As a result, on the way back, I met the carriage of the county lord of Qingfang and the county lord of Huihe, and the girl of the Sheng family was worried about her brother, and she was uneasy, and inadvertently offended the two county lords. ”
"Therefore, I only say that the prince and princess are here to ask for sin. ”
"If the little girl offends the two county lords, I definitely don't dare to disturb the queen mother and Zheng Guogong for this. However, the Sheng family and my Xu family have a bad relationship, which is something that both the government and the opposition know. If the prince and princess want the government to hand over the Sheng family girl to deal with, the government is really embarrassed. ”
"Thinking that the queen mother and the queen mother took good care of the Sheng family girls before, and the queen mother also told my niece that she must be notified if there is any trouble, so I dared to send someone to inform the imperial city and the Zheng Guogong Mansion, and planned to ask the Meng family to come forward to make peace and turn the war into a jade silk...... Unexpectedly, it turned out to be you Guogong who came in person!"
Now in this situation, of course, it is impossible for the Nan clan to say the reason why they originally went to inform Empress Meng and Zheng Guogong, so they can only temporarily come up with a reason to deal with it.
The Gaomi royal couple looked anxious at this time, and they couldn't wait to urge her to hurry up and call Sheng Sleeping Crane to come out, where did they have the heart to care about such details?
And Zheng Guogong was also a little surprised when he heard this, the reason why he rushed over in person at his age and identity was not to see the face of Ning Wei Hou Mansion, Ning Wei Hou Mansion was not qualified to work for him. The main reason is that I heard that the Gaomi royal couple went out in person, and I think there must be something big. Zheng Guogong knew that the couple were not fuel-efficient lamps, and the rest of the Meng family might not be able to hold them down, for fear of weakening their own momentum, so they came in person.
But I didn't expect it to be just a dispute between juniors?
Zheng Guogong wondered in his heart whether there was any inside story here, or did he really misunderstand that both sides had run in vain, and on his face, he politely exchanged a few words with the Nan family, and looked at the Gaomi prince and his wife with a slight smile and said: "Although I have heard for a long time that the prince and the princess lick the calves, but after all, it is just a few disputes between juniors, presumably the prince and the princess will not make a big move to the point of bullying children because of this, right?"
This is a clear satire of the Gaomi Wang couple making a big fuss, and a little farce of the children's family will not be forgiven.
The corners of Nan's mouth on the main throne twitched and twitched, a political enemy is a political enemy, otherwise whether it is King Gaomi or Zheng Guogong, they are all very amiable superiors alone, and there is no aggressive momentum, but when they come together, they are just scolded!
"Today's incident is that Mrs. Nan misunderstood. "The meaning of Zheng Guogong's words, how could King Gaomi not hear it?" Hearing this, he also smiled, "We are here to Ningweihou Mansion, and it has nothing to do with the girls of the Sheng family, but we are here for the new champion, the child named Sheng Sleeping Crane." If Guogong wants to administer justice to the Sheng family girl, he doesn't have to worry about it!"
Zheng Guogong raised his eyebrows: "Oh, but I don't know how the new champion offended the palace?"
"How can you offend?" King Gaomi secretly pinched Princess Gaomi under the small table, signaling his wife to be calm, and then said slowly, "We are here to find relatives, we suspect that the child is our third son who is outcast!"
He said this lightly, but Nan's face, who had already heard this, was still pale, and he didn't know what would happen next?
And although Zheng Guogong has been an uncle for more than 30 years and has excellent qi cultivation skills, he can't help but be stunned at this moment!
"Lord Wang, this is a big matter, don't you think your son is good when you see other people's children. Zheng Guogong's heart was racing and he said, "Not to mention that the sleeping crane is from Nanfeng County, thousands of miles away, and he is also from an innocent Sheng family. Let's just say that the three sons of the two, the old man still remembers that the name is Rong Qingyu, but he died fifteen years ago, right?!"
As he spoke, he looked at Princess Gaomi, whose eyes were red again, "At that time, the princess was seriously ill because of this, and she has never left the house since! This jade plate has recorded people who are not alive, and after fifteen years, it is hard to believe that she has come back to life again, not to mention, she has even become the heir of the Sheng family and won the champion again?!
Rao is Zheng Guogong was calm, and when it came to the word "champion" at the end, he also revealed a gritted teeth!
In fact, with the current foundation of the Meng family, it is not very rare to have a mere champion...... After all, for them, Jinshi can harvest a crop in three years, and the champion list can also harvest a batch in three years, which is still without Enke.
If it is a routine intrigue and loses to King Gaomi, Zheng Guogong, the leader of the Meng clan, will not even have this bit of power.
The key is, the champion of the sleeping crane...... It's basically Meng Shi pushing it up, okay?!
Although the Meng family originally planned to make Gao Chengxuan the champion of the current department because of Gao Chengxuan's blood relationship with the Meng family, and pressed Sheng Sleeping Crane as the leader, but after Gao Chengxuan's accident, Meng Shi specially pinched with King Gao Mi, and insisted on demoting Huang Wuxuan's article down and lifting Sheng Sleeping Crane's article to the top position!
Although Sheng Sleeping Crane's article does have the level of being a champion, what is the trouble of wanting to add to the crime, and if you really want to pressure him, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a reason? How many recognized talented people, and even the predecessors who are highly evaluated in the history of the Qing Dynasty, failed to pass the imperial examination and ended up depressed?
What's more, Huang Wuyi can make a name for himself in a big county like Shuzhong, and he is not an idle person, to say something unpleasant, if he is the champion, he can serve a lot more than the sleeping crane in front of the title of the gold list.
Therefore, Sheng Sleeping Crane can become the champion of today's family, and Meng Shi has made great efforts...... If it weren't for the fact that he would be sitting here in person, Zheng Guogong would have thought so by now!
The result?
He is actually the son of King Gaomi!
