Chapter 6: Big Joe and Little Joe
On this day's trip to Xuanyufu, Sheng Weiqiao can be said to have come and returned with a disgrace!
On the way back, thinking of the reprimand she heard from her aunt today, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she didn't even want to go back to the Sheng Mansion, and was thinking about whether to go directly to Feng's house to see her mother--The carriage suddenly stopped, and before Sheng Weiqiao got angry, a sweet and crisp voice sounded outside the car: "Da Qiao?"
"Xiao Qiao?" Sheng Weiqiao turned her anger into joy when she heard this, and before the maid could react, she hurriedly got up, lifted the curtain and got out of the car, grabbed the purple-clothed girl with bright eyes and bright teeth on the side of the car, and asked happily, "Why are you here? Didn't you say that you would come next month?"
The girl stretched out her fingers and pinched her cheek, and said angrily, "No rules! Call my cousin, what little Joe!"
- This is Shen Jiuniang, the daughter of Sheng Weiqiao's aunt Sheng Lanxin, who is two years older than Sheng Weiqiao, and the two are cousins. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Speaking of their big and small Qiao's titles, there is also an allusion: the two cousins have not been together since childhood, Sheng Weiqiao was five or six years old, Sheng Lanxin took her children back to her parents' house to save relatives, and Fang met for the first time.
At that time, after the elders finished introducing her, Shen Jiuniang called Sheng Weiqiao "Little Qiao" according to her usual habit of calling her sisters, but Sheng Weiqiao, who was looking forward to growing up, quit and jumped to her feet and said: "You are young! You are Xiao Qiao!"
Seeing this, Shen Jiuniang hurriedly changed her tone and called her Da Qiao - Sheng Weiqiao was satisfied, and called this cousin "Xiao Qiao" in retaliation.
In this way, the joke of childhood has been shouted until now.
At this moment, Sheng Weiqiao didn't take her cousin's anger to heart, only took her hand and said in surprise: "Did you come alone, or did your aunt and cousin also come?"
Shen Jiuniang was about to answer, but caught a glimpse of a handsome young man who looked sixteen or seventeen years old walking down from her cousin's carriage - the atmosphere is open, and it is not a bad custom for men and women to travel in the same car, but Shen Jiuniang knew that Sheng Weiqiao had never been so close to men, so she couldn't help but be stunned, pointed at him, and asked, "Da Qiao, who is this?"
"What are you doing with you?" Sheng Weiqiao looked back, but it was Sheng Sleeping Crane who came out, and couldn't help but sink his face and shouted, "Do you still want to ask my cousin for a meeting gift?!"
Sheng Sleeping Crane didn't hear her sarcasm, straightened his robe, smiled at Shen Jiuniang, and couldn't say that he was handsome: "I just heard my sister say aunt, isn't this my aunt's cousin?" I am Sheng Sleeping Crane, the word Hengshu, I only returned to Sheng's house today." ”
"It turned out to be my cousin!" Shen Jiuniang suddenly looked at Sheng Weiqiao, who was puffing up, apologetically, and stepped forward to greet Sheng Sleeping Crane with her skirt lightly - she saw that her cousin didn't like Sheng Sleeping Crane very much, but in front of everyone's eyes, she didn't want to lose her cousin's face, otherwise even if Sheng Lanci didn't say anything, her parents would know about it, and they would blame her for being rude.
"Cousin looks like a really gentle and amiable girl!" Sheng Sleeping Crane waved his hand, motioned her to get up, and took out a piece of flawless mutton fat jade from his sleeve, and said kindly, "I didn't know I would meet you today, and I didn't prepare anything, let's take this jade pendant and play with it!"
Shen Jiuniang knew that her eldest uncle was a capable person, he really had a lot of money, and he didn't have many heirs, even if he was in the outer room where he only entered today, he definitely didn't lack anything in terms of money, so although he saw that this jade pendant was worth a lot of money, he didn't shirk it, and he was blessed: "Cousin Xie." ”
"I'll go around the neighborhood, you sisters are leaving, tell me, and I'll send you back!" Sheng Sleeping Crane nodded at her, and then glanced at Sheng Weiqiao, who was flushed, playfully, before turning to leave.
After he left, Shen Jiuniang asked her cousin puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"
"This jade pendant was given to him by my aunt!" Sheng Weiqiao gritted her teeth loudly - if it weren't for Lu Qi and Lu Jin remembering Xuan Yu Feng's advice, Fang Cai kept pulling her sleeves, she would have rushed up and beaten that shameless one on the street, okay?!
"Then let's return it to your aunt!" Shen Jiuniang asked what had happened, but she couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly stuffed the jade pendant into Sheng Weiqiao's hand.
"That's not what I meant. Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly pushed it back to her, the Feng family has always been generous, and her aunt is not short of such a jade pendant - in the end, she just feels aggrieved!
The two cousins let go back and forth, and in the end, Shen Jiuniang reluctantly accepted it, but it was inevitable that she felt a little hot: "This cousin ...... It's too much!"
Even Sheng Weiqiao's attitude towards him is not good, Sheng Sleeping Crane only entered the door in the end, and he didn't say anything about being low-minded, and he still had the intention of getting along with his sister-in-law - Shen Jiuniang's impression of him was greatly discounted, thinking that this cousin looked at a beautiful young man, how could he just give birth to a pair of small-bellied chicken intestines, not to mention the difference between his sister-in-law, just saying that Sheng Weiqiao was four years younger than him, can't he let his sister be a little younger as an elder brother?
Seeing Sheng Wei Qiaowu's self-hatred, her mind turned around, and pointed to the shop behind her: "My mother and they are all resting in the Sheng family, I am worried about the sugar cakes made by this family, and I specially came out to buy them, I don't want them to just sell out a drawer, I had to wait outside, I didn't expect to see your carriage - how about it?
Sheng Weiqiao glanced at the signboard and said, "Xiao Qiao, you are worried about their sugar cakes, but I prefer the chestnut cakes they make, sprinkled with melon seeds and kernels, which are particularly delicious!"
"You prefer the melon seeds on the chestnut cake, obviously the melon seeds that the maid peeled for you at home, you don't like to eat them!" Shen Jiuniang nodded her forehead and scolded with a smile, "Every time you eat the melon seeds on the cake, you will be rewarded, this is also called loving food?"
"That plum blossom crisp, I haven't seen it before, I think it's new, buy two and try it back?" While speaking, the two cousins had already walked into the shop, looked at the water cards hanging on the counter, and discussed, "I don't know if it's really made of plum blossoms, or is it just made of plum blossoms?"
Half an hour later, when the two went out, the maid behind them had already carried a dozen or so oil paper bags - after some shopping, buying, buying, buying, Sheng Weiqiao's mood was obviously much better, after walking down the steps, she couldn't see Sheng Sleeping Crane left and right, so of course she wouldn't send someone to find it, and was about to propose to Shen Jiuniang to go back, when a group of people came not far away, and the young man led by her saw her, and his eyes lit up!
"Isn't this the sister of the Sheng family?" The young man smiled and blocked the way of the two sisters, stared at Shen Jiuniang, who had already shown the girl's handsomeness, and then fell on Sheng Weiqiao, who was still a little lotus, and said in an affectionate tone, "Where did my sister come from? Are you going back? Do you want your cousin to give you a ride?"
Sheng Weiqiao glanced at him and recognized that it was the son of the Xuan Yu family-her cousin Xuan Yuche's cousin Xuan Yuche - and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth: "Why don't you hide from me today?"
She said this for a reason: Sheng Lanci is famous for doting on his wife and daughter, and the Sheng family is basically the development and growth of Sheng Lanci, so everyone knows that Sheng Weiqiao, the only daughter, is out of the cabinet, even if Sheng Lanci does not empty the Sheng family to give her a dowry, she will definitely not be stingy!
In this way, Xuan Yuche's father is not the head of the family, and he has no chance to be the head of the family, and the children outside the line of the head of the Xuan Yu family basically can't share much, how can they not fight Sheng Weiqiao's idea?
However, he was unlucky, and quietly wrote an affectionate letter to Sheng Weiqiao at the end of last year, but the servant of the Sheng family who spent money to buy it did not hand over the letter to Sheng Weiqiao, but happily presented it to Sheng Lanqi!
Xuan Yuche's fate is self-evident - he was told by Sheng Lanci to his sister-in-law Xuan Yufeng's family, and he cleaned it up fiercely!
Afterwards, Sheng Lanci also sent someone to warn him: If he stays away from his daughter in the future, Sheng Lanci guarantees that he will not end well!
After that, Xuan Yu Che was a frightened bird for a while, and when he saw Sheng Weiqiao from a distance, he immediately turned his head and walked away-today he actually took the initiative to block her way, Sheng Weiqiao is not stupid, how can he not think immediately, this is because of the appearance of Sheng Sleeping Crane, which makes this person think that his status is not guaranteed, and he is not as expensive as before?
