Chapter Ninety-Five: Staying Guests

Although Sheng Weiqiao has been loved by three thousand since he was a child, it is inevitable that he will be a little pampered and willful. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, thanks to Sheng Lanci's grasp of the general direction, she has never been confused in the face of major rights and wrongs.

Originally, during the trip to Dan Molou, their group did not suffer any substantial losses, but they were scared when they left - they quarreled in public at the Kaiju meeting, and it was Zhao Taoxiang who lost!

Now Zhao Tao's father, Zhao Xuan, is actually the chief examiner of Mingke, even if he wants peace of mind, he should say something.

What's more, since Xu Zijing said that he was worried that Zhao Xuan would do things in the Spring Festival, so he couldn't go to the Zhao Mansion to theorize at the moment, it can be seen that this Zhao Xuan may not be a selfless person - even if he is busy feeling sorry for his nephew and busy tearing up with the Meng family, what if he sees the scrolls of Sheng Sleeping Crane and Xu Baomo when he reads the papers, he will be angry and pit them, but what should he do?

So after being reminded by Sheng Sleeping Crane, Sheng Weiqiao agreed without any resistance.

This was a foolproof strategy, not only to save the Ningwei Hou Mansion from trouble, but also to the Sheng family.

Sheng Weiqiao is certainly a little squeamish, but he is not so hypocritical as to ignore the future of Xu Baomo and Sheng Shenghe for such a trivial matter.

Next, everyone discussed a little, and Nan made a decision on the spot, summoned his henchmen, and ordered him to deliver a post to Zhao Fu, planning to take Sheng Weiqiao and his party to the door as soon as possible to make amends, and said: "Send a message to the palace to see if you may meet the Queen Mother in the next two days?"

Turning his head to explain to the three juniors of the Sheng family, "Meng Guihuan is the daughter of the fourth room of the Meng family, her parents passed away at an early age, and now she is following her brother Chongxin Bo Meng Guiyu. Chongxinbo has not been married so far, and there is no official hostess in Chongxinbo's mansion, and there is another one that is that Chongxinbo is only with your peers after all, and he can't let me go to his house to talk about things in person. In this way, even if I don't care about being talked about surrendering my identity, Chongxinbo's side is afraid that I will use my seniority to suppress him. ”

In his early years, because several uncles were unwilling to take care of him, he was quite poor for a while. Later, they were favored by the Queen Mother, and they have today--the matter of their brothers and sisters, they went directly to tell the Queen Mother, as long as it is not a complaint, it is easy to turn a big thing into a small matter. ”

Sheng Sleeping Crane and Sheng Weiqiao both nodded knowingly: Even if the Queen Mother already knew about Bishui County, she would see that the Nan clan specially led people to ask for guilt, and Bacheng wanted to call Meng Guiyu's brothers and sisters to ask again. As for the four rooms of the Meng family, which both parents died and relied on the care of the Empress Dowager Meng, all opportunities to get the care of the Empress Dowager are worth cherishing.

The matter of Bishui County was so decided, and everyone had the time to discuss the Ao family's brothers and sisters getting off the boat halfway - about the ins and outs of this matter, out of consideration for Ao Luan's mirror to cover his face and avoid being pumped, Xu Baomo only briefly mentioned a few in the letter sent to Chang'an in advance.

At this moment, he talked about it in detail face to face, and he looked at Sheng Sleeping Crane and Sheng Weiqiao a few times, and only said: "Before, the old lady of the Ao family heard that his grandfather and grandmother went to live in Sheng Mansion together, and he moved the idea of reunion, so he took Ao Xian and Ao Shimei to Sheng Mansion. It just so happened that Brother Hengshu and I came to Chang'an, Da Qiao, Sister Yu Shimei and Ying Jiang also wanted to come out for a tour, and several elders said that it was better to let Brother Ao Xian and Ao Shimei also be together, so that there were more people and lively, and they would take care of each other on the road. ”

"Not long after I didn't want to sail through Bishui County, Ao Xiandi suddenly contracted an illness and was bedridden. ”

"Although the boat brought a doctor, but the doctor is still young, the heat is not enough, Ao Shimei is not at ease, we stopped the boat in Jiangnan, invited a local famous doctor to treat Ao Xiandi, said that we have to go ashore to recuperate for a month to ensure that there is no future trouble. Brother Ao Xian was concerned about the Spring Festival at the beginning of February, and insisted that we take the first step - Brother Hengshu arranged for him to recuperate in a Jiangnan courtyard of the Sheng family, and also reported a letter to Nanfeng County. ”

"Oh, Ao Shimei naturally stayed in Jiangnan to take care of Brother Ao Xian, so she didn't come to Chang'an with the ship. ”

Xu Zijing and his wife saw the glances they exchanged with each other, and knew that they had an inside story, but they didn't expose it, and only bowed their heads and said: "I see! This is really a pity, we even have a yard for the two children, just waiting to meet! I didn't expect the children of the Ao family to be sick!"

"As long as people are okay!" After all, there is no blood relationship, it's just that the ancestors have a relationship, and they haven't even met each other until now, Nan's regret is just lip service, "Anyway, the children are still young, and when they are cured, they will come to Chang'an again, and after all, people are important." ”

As I said, the matter is over.

At this time, it was getting late, and the Nan family was concerned about the recent situation of the sleeping crane and the others, and the next person came up to tell him that the reception banquet had been set up in the side hall.

After using the reception banquet, Huan shook his hands and rinsed his mouth, Xu Zijing and his wife shushed a few more words, got up, and personally sent them to the place where they lived one by one.

At this time, Sheng Lanci finally had a chance to come up and ask Sheng Sleeping Crane to go back and settle them - it is really not easy to talk about Sheng Xiang, he is the son of the Sheng family, and he has always been in Nanfeng County.

Today, I received news that my son-in-law, Miss Sun, had finally arrived, and he was busy taking people to the dock to greet him, who knew that Ning Weihou and his wife actually went out in person, where could he be a little steward compared with Xu Zijing and Nan's family?

Before the conversation was finished, Nan interrupted again: "What if the house there is cleaned? After all, I haven't been here for more than ten or twenty years." I don't know any of the people inside, just a few of your children, especially the concubine is still so young, how can we rest assured that we will live in this big night?"

He also talked about Xu Baomo's small residence in the Sheng Mansion, "At that time, your Sheng family didn't dislike him, why is it rare for you to come to Chang'an now, and you still see us outside? Now that the New Year is approaching, you don't have other elders by your side, is it difficult for a few brothers and sisters to celebrate the New Year in that house in a deserted manner? It's better to live in the Hou Mansion together, it's lively, and Baomo and He'er can also confirm each other's homework and help the Spring Festival!"

Old Marquis Xu and Old Lady Xiahou said proudly in the letter that they tried their best to persuade Old Lady Sheng to dispel the idea of sending Sheng Lanzi, the third master of the Sheng family, to accompany them to the north, in order to keep the group in Ningwei Hou's Mansion, so that they could continue to get closer to the water and get the moon first!

Xu Zijing and his wife also like Sheng Weiqiao very much, I wish this prospective daughter-in-law was always in front of them, so that they could cultivate more feelings with their two daughters, how could they let go?

They also knew this situation, and they resigned twice to see that they had a firm attitude, so they agreed, and sent Sheng Xiang back by himself: "You guard the house, we will live in the Hou Mansion for a few days, and we will eventually move back when we turn back." ”

It's just that Sheng Weiqiao felt that this was expected, and besides, the Xu family felt good about her, and there was nothing unpleasant, but Sheng Sleeping Crane looked at Xu Zijing and his wife's enthusiasm for Sheng Weiqiao and secretly gritted his teeth for a while, and felt that he definitely couldn't live in Ningweihou Mansion: "Even if Xu Baomo is always afraid of marrying a good girl, with his parents and two younger sisters beating the side drum, maybe one day the good girl will be coaxed into a dazzle, and he will marry into this Xu family regardless of his wishes!"

He secretly decided that he must think of a way as soon as possible and move back to the Sheng family's courtyard in Chang'an!

Ningwei Hou's Mansion is just a mansion in regulation, and in Chang'an, where every inch of land is valuable, the area is actually not as vast as the Sheng Mansion.

But after all, it is the grade of the marquis, so the pavilions and pavilions in the backyard are still readily available, and it can be seen from the heavy jade tree Qiongzhi that the grass and trees here were originally very prosperous.

It's just that in this season, Chang'an is not as warm as Nanfeng County, it is already snowy, why is there no trace of Yaohua Qicao, that is, Lamei is blooming from itself, and the wisps of dark fragrance under the night seem to be there or not, refreshing people's hearts.

Before, when Sheng Weiqiao listened to Xu Caikui's introduction on the boat and arranged a place for her called "Sacrifice Red Pavilion", she didn't feel anything, because it would be impossible for them to sit in the hall, and wait for Xu Zijing and his wife to send one to pick up and then send the next, so they went out together and sent all the way over in order of eldest and youngest, so they also knew where other people lived.

At this time, I found that the names of these pavilions in the backyard of the Hou Mansion were very distinctive: Sheng Sleeping Crane, as the only man among the guests, was naturally arranged next door to Xu Baomo, the son of the world, and then Xu Baomo lived in the "Parrot Green Pavilion", and Sheng Sleeping Crane lived in the "Shadow Green Garden".

After sending Xu Baomo and Sheng Sleeping Crane, it was the turn of the youngest Sheng Weiwei, and the accommodation arranged by the Xu family for her was called "Jiaohuang Building", and the "Eggplant Zixuan" arranged for Gongsun Yingjiang was just around the "Sacrifice Red Pavilion".

Not far away is the "Pastel Zhai" where the Xu sisters live together.

"When we were rewarded by the Heavenly Family with this mansion before, we didn't think much about it, just clean it up!" Nan Shi noticed Sheng Weiqiao's attention to the names of these pavilions, and said, "As a result, I later found out that the pavilions and pavilions in the backyard of other people had to be named, but our mansion was confiscated after the fact that a marquis of the previous dynasty committed a crime, and it was sealed for decades before it was rewarded, and the name of the pavilion is not complete, and it is impossible to use it if you want to!

Parrot green, shadow blue, sacrificial red, delicate yellow, eggplant purple, pastel...... Aren't they all types of glaze?

Sheng Weiqiao covered his mouth and smiled: "Auntie, don't say it, ordinary people name these pavilions, either from allusions, or from the beautiful words in the poems, you use glaze to make the name here, but it is ingenious and unforgettable!"

Nan smiled: "It's good if you don't dislike it!"

While talking, I arrived at Jiaohuang Mansion - although Sheng Weiwei was young, she brought her personal maid and mother-in-law and the like, and secondly, she had already lived alone on the first floor when she was in Sheng Mansion, and she would be a guest in Xu Mansion, and she didn't feel that she was afraid of living alone in this Jiaohuang Building, and after confirming that Sheng Weiqiao lived not far away, it was very convenient to run over to find her cousin, so she happily said goodbye to them.

This made Xu Zijing and his wife both say to their youngest daughter Xu Caifu: "Your sister is only half a year older than you, and she already lives alone in this Jiaohuang Building, you are still clinging to your sister, and you are not ashamed to leave her pastel fast, are you ashamed?"

Xu Caifu shyly pulled Xu Caikui's sleeve and hid back, her big eyes flickering, obviously although she felt quite ashamed, she still didn't want to move out of Pastel Zhai to live alone.

Sheng Weiqiao used to think that the Xu sisters lived together because of their good relationship, but now they know that it was because Xu Caifu was timid and couldn't help but laugh a little - but I think it was Xu Zijing and his wife who doted on their daughter, so they let her go until now.

Otherwise, if you are ruthless, you can force her to live alone.

After sending Sheng Weiwei, it was Gongsun Yingjiang's turn, and then Sheng Weiqiao.

The sacrificial red pavilion for her to live in, as Xu Caikui revealed before, is a place where plum blossoms are planted.

Because the night was deep, even with a lantern, he couldn't see far, and Sheng Weiqiao only felt in a trance before entering the door that there seemed to be a lake next to the Red Pavilion.

Step into the weeping flower gatehouse, but see the verandah on all sides, in the middle is a large atrium, there is a bluestone paved road winding into the rockery. Among the rocks that dot the garden, there are occasional traces of vines, but the most common ones are plum trees of different shapes and varieties.

This will be because it is only in the wax moon, most of these plum trees only show flower buds, and only the plum trees are in full bloom. Inconspicuously dotted in the ice and snow, occasionally there are lights shining on, it is a little crystal clear outline, and it seems to be a trance wrong eye, with an unreal haze.

Only the cold fragrance curls, so that people's minds are clear, and they know that it is a real Kuihua blooming.

Although he couldn't see the whole picture of the Red Pavilion clearly at this time, Sheng Weiqiao estimated that it must be one of the best residences in the backyard of the Hou Mansion.

Xu Zijing and his wife sent her into the door, called a few rough maids here to greet them, and told them to serve them attentively, and when the time was not early, they led the two daughters to leave.

Sheng Weiqiao sent them to the door, said a few polite words, stood and watched them go away, then turned back to the house, on the road called people to prepare fragrant soup for bathing, only to enter the house, I couldn't help but go straight to the sour branch wood inlaid with luodian plum blossom pattern soft couch at the top, pounced on it, wailed: "Tired, tired, tired! I never thought that Luke was so tiring to socialize...... Tell them to hurry up and get the bathroom ready, I'll clean up and go to bed!"
