Chapter 42 Xu Baomo's Method
At this time, Sheng Weiqiao had just gotten up, wearing knee-length hair like a black crow, sitting on the embroidery stool in front of the dressing table, watching Lu Qi comb herself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since she was stimulated in the bronze mirror on the ship, she still doesn't like to dress up brightly and swaggeringly, which makes the two maids who are good at complicated and gorgeous makeup and hairstyles feel very lost.
Now taking advantage of Feng's pregnancy, he tacitly coaxed Sheng Weiqiao: "Madame is happy, if Miss is still dressed plainly, people know that you really prefer refreshing and elegant recently; Of course, Miss is not afraid of those villains who chew the root of the tongue, and I am afraid that the old lady has always been close to you, if you hear any rumors, this child is busy and will specially summon you to talk, just worry about one more thing, right?"
The children in Feng's womb don't know men and women yet, but in order to please the mouth, the next people first think of it as a little boy.
However, the masters, especially the two elders, Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Ming, were more cautious.
Although they also hope that the big house can have a son-in-law, they are afraid that if they are still a girl, they will inevitably put a lot of pressure on their daughter-in-law - Feng is pregnant at this age, and it is difficult to say that a happy event will turn into a funeral, because the old lady and the old lady Ming have specially informed their relatives, and they are not allowed to mention the words of looking forward to getting a man, lest they stimulate her to have something wrong.
When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he also thought that his parents had been very busy in the past two days, especially Feng Shi was now putting down everything and concentrating on the baby, where could they worry about themselves?
frowned and said: "There are always such idle people who have nothing to do, and they are annoying to be short in the east and west!"
sighed, "Then let's dress up as before, a few hairpin rings, you can't alarm your father and mother for this!"
Lu Qi and Lu Jin were very happy, and gave her advice with great interest: "Since the ceremony in March, Miss has often combed her hair in a bun, but although her bun is gentle and charming, it is not atmospheric enough. Today is the next day of the flowing water banquet, and the guests are only afraid that there are more than yesterday, so it is better to comb a cross bun, dignified and not exaggerated, just to use the new set of jade head noodles in autumn!"
Sheng Weiqiao said: "This season, a hundred flowers have bloomed, except for a few flowers such as chrysanthemums, the inside and outside are mostly green. If it is vivid, the jadeite is not appropriate. I remember that my father got a few pieces of Zhaodian red before, which were used on the pair of earrings at the bottom of the box when my aunt went out of the pavilion. At that time, my father asked someone to make me two step shakes, which were red gold and silk peony petals—where did I put them?"
The two maids hurriedly looked for her: "Miss has a good memory, and the slaves and maids have forgotten this pair of steps!"
This really can't blame them for not being careful, after all, Sheng Weiqiao's jewelry is too much.
Since she was seven or eight years old, she has had several sets of heads and faces with her new clothes at four o'clock every year.
Then this was only given to her by Sheng Fu Gongzhong, and her relatives outside the family, especially Mrs. Zhan and Xuanyu Feng, would send someone to send the clothes and jewelry that they thought were suitable for Sheng Weiqiao every now and then - the Feng family has no granddaughter in this generation, and even Sheng Weiqiao is only one granddaughter, so there is no one to fight with her about these things.
Since the Sheng family jumped to become one of the three powerful families in Nanfeng County, there are countless people who want to please Sheng Lanci, either for clinging to it or for something.
And everyone knows that Sheng Lanci loves his wife and daughter, and Feng and Sheng Weiqiao are naturally their favorite targets.
Usually, Sheng Lanci and his wife are interested, and they will enrich their daughter's dressing table - the magpie that was quietly broken by Sheng Sleeping Crane in the valley cave on Hawksbill Island was an extra gift from Sheng Lancixing's head to his daughter.
With such accumulation, even if Green Brocade and Green Qi are Sheng Weiqiao's personal maids, every hairpin ring of Sheng Weiqiao has a chance to pass, and there is no way to remember all the jewelry of his own lady.
It took them a long time to find out what Sheng Weiqiao said, this pair of steps is extraordinary, and you can see that it is priceless at a glance: the yellow and clear red gold hairpin body is polished and smooth, engraved with fine grape patterns, and the hairpin head is a blooming thousand-leaf peony, and the "Zhaodian Red" embedded in the stamen position is slightly oval, the color is clear, and it is delicate.
The red of this gem is not blood red, but red, warm but not poignant, dazzling but not vulgar, looking like the morning glow is rising, radiant.
Under the calyx is a three-hanging tassel pendant, the hanger is made of red gold like the hairpin, the three pendants are pearls, agate and jadeite, and the top of each has a small gold bottle the size of a grain of rice but finely carved.
The gold is sturdy, not easy to break, the bottle is homophonic, and often makes a pattern of hoping for peace.
In addition, grapes imply many sons, and peonies imply wealth, which is connected to wealth and peace, and many children and grandchildren.
Sheng Weiqiao took Bu Shao in his hand, looked at the gorgeous "Zhaodian Red", and suddenly became sad, and said to the maid: "When Xiao Qiao stole the pair of earrings of the eldest aunt, it seems that it was still yesterday, but in a blink of an eye, two years have passed. I don't know how Xiao Qiao is doing now?"
Lu Jin and Lu Qi both thought that Shen Jiuniang was probably dead, but this idea was not good to tell Sheng Weiqiao, and they both comforted: "Miss Cousin Jiren has her own natural appearance, she will be fine, maybe one day you two will be able to meet again!"
Sheng Weiqiao smiled bitterly, didn't she feel that Shen Jiuniang's hope of still being alive was very slim, she just didn't want to admit it.
He looked at this pair of step shakers, and suddenly said, "Put them away!" Xiao Qiao likes the big aunt's red earrings very much, if there is a goodbye day in the future, maybe I can give this pair of step shakes to her. ”
Lu Jin and Lu Qi echoed: "This pair of step shakes is a style that the master and the lady have modified several times, and Miss Table will definitely like it!"
They didn't want Sheng Wei Qiao to be immersed in sadness, and they were about to divert the topic, when Jin Li came in and said, "Xu Shizi is here, and I want to see Miss." ”
The year before last, Xu Baomo's abandonment of Sheng Weiqiao, although outsiders don't know, but as Sheng Weiqiao's henchman, Lu Jin and Lu Qi have even gone to Tortoiseshell Island twice, so they naturally know.
Hearing this at this moment, both of them frowned, and glanced at Sheng Weiqiao - as long as this young lady also showed a little dislike, they would immediately order to drive people away.
However, Sheng Weiqiao had already been relieved about this matter, and when he heard that Xu Baomo was coming, he didn't have any residual anger, nodded and said: "Invite him to the flower hall for a while, and tell him that I am dressing up and cleaning up before I can go out to meet guests." ”
"Such a person, Miss is willing to let him enter Zhu Huan Xiaozhu, which is really magnanimous and generous. Lu Qi picked up the jade comb, and combed Sheng Weiqiao's cross bun according to what had just been discussed, her gesture was soft and soothing, and her eyebrows were slightly raised, but she showed clear annoyance, "I don't know why he is embarrassed to come to our house again?"
Although under the tireless plea of the Xu family, Mrs. Sheng and even Sheng Lanci and his wife were moved, but Lu Jin and Lu Qi's antipathy towards Xu Baomo has never been eliminated.
"Who is the descendant of the old marquis Xu, now the old marquis and his wife are guests in the mansion!" Sheng Weiqiao just didn't hate Xu Baomo, it was impossible to say how much he had a good impression of this brother, but he just looked at it as an estranged acquaintance, so he reminded Lu Qi, "Don't delay for too long, otherwise, he still thinks that we are deliberately hanging him, but because he is still haunted by him." ”
Lu Qi did plan to give Sheng Weiqiao to get it slowly, so that Xu Baomo could wait for more time in the flower hall, and when she heard this, she said softly: "He is also worthy of our young lady's memory?"
After a while, Sheng Weiqiao combed her cross bun, because she wanted to leave the red step shake in the hall to Shen Jiuniang, so she used a set of coral jewelry, and the red and bright ones were very eye-catching on the sideburns of the crow crow, which showed that her cheeks were condensed with new snow and her eyes turned to autumn waves.
Because of Feng's happiness, her dress was also suggested to be more festive, which would wear a big red background with a hundred butterflies wearing a flower pinched gold thread placket with wide sleeves, inside which was a white background and a gold flowing cloud hundred blessing hezi; there was also an eight-treasure peony ring pressed on the chest; two pairs of jade bracelets were held between the wrists; ten moonflower skirts were dragged down, and a pair of colorful flowers were tied to the left and right.
Because of her delicate eyebrows and eyes, snowy skin and flowers, such a gorgeous dress, but she is not cheesy, but she feels that she is noble and natural, and she should be surrounded by pearls.
"Brother Shi, is there something wrong?" Sheng Weiqiao walked into the flower hall, and saw Xu Baomo holding a tea bowl with a look of anticipation, and he didn't know what he meant, so he asked directly, she didn't have a good impression of this brother now, but she didn't have time to accompany him to go around in circles.
Xu Baomo's gaze at her was a little amazing, although he had seen Sheng Weiqiao when he met in Songnian Hall on the day he came this time, but when he heard Sheng Weiqiao's voice, he felt that the sky was dark, the sand was flying, the sun and the moon were dark, let alone staring at this girl-he wished he hadn't seen Sheng Weiqiao in his life, okay? At this moment, when the two met alone, Xu Baomo found that Sheng Weiqiao had grown a little taller in the past two years, and she was not short among girls of the same age, so she would be more and more slender and slender.
"People say that the eighteenth change of the female university, Da Qiao was very good-looking the year before last, but now she is really more and more smart. In addition to sighing, Xu Baomo was also a little stupid, "It's strange that after seeing this girl, my grandfather and grandmother were more satisfied with her - with her appearance and temperament, who would have thought that she would be the kind of person who would help her husband die early?"
But when he thought of his preconceived ideas, after teasing Sheng Weiqiao, he left without saying hello, and turned around and let the maid come to Sheng's mansion, and suddenly his heart was weak, he didn't dare to stare at Sheng Weiqiao anymore, turned his eyes away, coughed dryly, and said, "Da Qiao, I'm afraid I have to tell you alone about this!"
Before his words fell, Lu Jin, who followed Sheng Weiqiao in, immediately said: "Miss, our wife also said two days ago that you are now old, and it is not good to be as taboo as you were when you were a child." Except for the sons, they should all lead the slaves and maids!"
Xu Baomo frowned and glanced at her, Lu Jin lowered his head slightly, made a deferential look, but refused to move at all - let you talk alone, who knows if you will coax our young lady into soft-heartedness and fall for you again?!
Sheng Weiqiao didn't mean to wave back left and right, he dialed the tea bowl, and said euphemistically: "Brother Shi hasn't thought about what to say, or how to say it, why don't you please take care of yourself first, and wait for me to invite my mother to come back, and then discuss?"
He said lightly, "Da Qiao is my cousin's unique name to me, since my cousin disappeared the year before last, there has not been a word back, if the world brother can, please don't call me that." First, we are just brothers and sisters in the world, and we have nothing to do with it, and it is not good for each other to shout too affectionately; second, every time someone calls me 'Da Qiao', I always think of my cousin, and I feel really uncomfortable!"
"Shimei!" Seeing this, Xu Baomo had no choice but to mention the words of letting Lu Jin retreat, and said stubbornly, "Dare to ask Shimei...... Are you still interested in tying the knot with me?"
"Brother Shi thinks too much!" Sheng Weiqiao was annoyed when he heard this, and said with a twisted eyebrow, "If Brother Shi has any misunderstanding about me asking you to get up and speak that day......
Xu Baomo hurriedly said: "Sister Shi, I think so too——"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Sheng Weiqiao's master and servant sinking their faces at the same time, and the green brocade even pushed a half-human-high eggplant purple glazed shepherd boy scalper golden garlic bottle next to him towards his own lady, encouraging Sheng Weiqiao to give him a ruthless meaning, Xu Baomo felt a chill in his heart, and secretly called this Da Qiao really not a good match, even the close-quarters maid is so ruthless, not to mention that she is the master?
hurriedly explained, "I mean, I also think that Shimei, you don't look down on me now!"
Sheng Weiqiao stopped the action of copying the garlic bottle, pressed the outstretched hand down, buckled it lightly and lightly on the table, and said lukewarmly: "Brother Shi's words are finished?"
"Since I did something bad the year before last, I don't dare to think about my sister. Xu Baomo glanced at the bottle and said cautiously, "However, Shimei also knows that my grandfather and grandmother have admired the Sheng family for a long time, and I have been heartbroken for Shimei before we have even met! ”
"So what?" Sheng Weiqiao showed patience, when she couldn't see Xu Baomo's thoughts?
This person obviously didn't want to marry her, but he couldn't convince Old Marquis Xu and Old Lady Xiahou, so he had to be pressed to come to the door to ask for guilt, and now he came to find himself in private, and he didn't ask, he wanted to let himself come forward to help him solve the Xu family.
Although Sheng Weiqiao didn't want to have anything to do with Xu Baomo, why did he continue to be used by him after being cheated by him?!
At this meeting, the hand under the table has already begun to roll up its sleeves - I heard Xu Baomo sneer: "So Shimei might as well go to Chang'an with us, and ...... then."
"Bang !!"
Sheng Weiqiao hit the bridge of his nose with a pink fist, and he burst into tears, and said blankly: "Why did Shimei beat me?!"
"Let me go to Chang'an, and then tell the public that I saw Chang'an Huahua World, and I don't want you, right?!" Sheng Weiqiao was almost angry, "It's obvious that you are unrighteous in the front, but you want me to bear the name of this treachery - you are really a good idea!
