Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yu Feng glanced at each other when they heard this, and first called Yishan in: "There was an invitation over there, what did you say?"

Yi Shan said: "It is said that there is a happy event in their family. Ah, it was Meng Jiaxing, who went to the Changting outside the city that day, and Mrs. Peng didn't help explain at that time, saying that Meng Jiaxing's wife was in confinement, so it was not good to greet you two? ”

"Of course we want to go for such a happy wine. Sheng Weiqiao nodded and said, "You go and tell the person who came, because I was pregnant, I just rushed over, and now I am tired, I don't see him, the post stays, and when the day comes, I will go over." ”

After sending the person who sent the post, he told Yishan, "Ming'er, you take someone outside to see what shops are here, and pick up the items that are suitable for children's full moon gifts and buy a batch." We came out of Xijiang in too much hurry this time, and we didn't bring almost anything, so we could only buy it temporarily. ”

However, in the evening of this day, Zhao Shi sent someone to talk about the full moon wine, saying that Zhao Shi had asked the old servant Zhao Bao to prepare a congratulatory gift for Sheng Weiqiao, so that she didn't have to worry about this anymore: "The master said that you are pregnant now, and you should have a good baby, and such trivial matters will be handed over to the old slave." ”

Sheng Weiqiao thanked him and asked, "Does my uncle have time to eat this wine then?"

Zhao Bao smiled: "The master naturally wants to accompany the two of you." ”

After he left, Sheng Weiqiao said to Xuan Yu Feng: "The Meng family's full moon wine is placed on the day after tomorrow, and I don't know if this uncle will give me a word before this? ”

"You just can't wait, and you'll have to stay up until the day after tomorrow. Xuan Yu Feng said calmly, "General Huaihua is still thinking about it, and he has said that he wants to think about it alone, and you force him to choose Mizhen, maybe it will be counterproductive, and won't he be wronged when the time comes? As for Meng Boqin, people just came to the post, so you go to the door, isn't this the same as telling people, even if you go under the knife? General Huaihua's side is a relative, so it's okay to pay it back." The Meng clan and we are not all the way at all, at most we will be temporary allies. In that case, you say they need to keep their hands? Maybe the lion opened his mouth!"

Sheng Weiqiao said: "But the western Xinjiang ......"

"Didn't General Huaihua say it? Mi Zhen is not stupid, if he really can't hold it, won't he leave?" Xuan Yu Feng said, "He was on the sea before, the sea is vast, how many times can he escape, not to mention that he is on land at this time?

"Where can it be the same on the sea and on the road?" Sheng Weiqiao frowned, "And that Fu Zhen did not hesitate to go deep alone in order to intercept and kill me, but not only failed to succeed, but even his deputy was shot and wounded, he retreated at that time, how could he not want to turn back and retaliate?

Xuan Yu Feng said: "There are more people who hate Mizhen, and there is no shortage of that Fuzhen." Besides, what Fu Zhen hates the most is your grandfather, and then your grandfather is not happy in Chang'an?"

Speaking of the last sentence, thinking of what Old Lady Sheng had done, her voice was a little cold.

Seeing Sheng Weiqiao looking at him suspiciously, he saved his mouth and hurriedly remedied, "Your grandfather was really at the beginning! It's not that he hasn't seen blood under his hands at that time, and it's not that he can't do it, so why do you want to leave this trouble?"

"After all, it's Ruru's prince, not an ordinary person. Sheng Weiqiao argued for Mrs. Sheng, "Grandfather's official position was not high at that time, such an important person must be handed over to his boss for disposal, how can he decide whether to kill or not?"

Xuan Yu Feng said: "I care so much, who told him to cause you trouble?"

And he said, "Isn't this the end? That Fu is really Prince Ruru, so it is not easy for a man like your grandfather to poison him after he is caught." Even if he loses his hand and falls into the hands of Ruru, how can Ruru say that he will kill him?"

Sheng Weiqiao really thought that her aunt was comforting herself around the bend, and said, "In that case, the pain of skin and flesh is inevitable." ”

The rest of the day after the two nephews talked, to Sheng Weiqiao's disappointment, after Zhao Shi avoided the military camp outside the city as usual that night, he simply didn't come back, and only sent Zhao Bao back to tell: "There are some things in the barracks that have stumped the master." ”

It wasn't until the Meng family's full moon wine was open that Zhao Shicai hurriedly returned from the military camp and invited his aunt and nephew to the banquet together.

The Hussar General's Mansion is a little bit away from the Huaihua General's Mansion, and the Huaihua General's Mansion happens to be one in the west of the city and the other in the east of the city, which has some confrontation meaning.

Probably because Meng Boqin is a family here, the General's Mansion is more pompous than the Huaihua General's Mansion, just look at a pair of stone lions at the door, as well as the mighty and tall vermilion lacquer gate behind the stone lions, you know that the owner's origin is extraordinary, at this moment the middle door is wide open, Meng Boqin's wife Lian personally took his daughter-in-law and daughter and two rows of colorful maids, waiting under the stone steps.

Seeing that the carriage stopped, Yi Shan helped Sheng Weiqiao out, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The courtiers greet Niangniang!

Mrs. Xie said. Sheng Weiqiao looked at her with a smile, Lian is the daughter of a courtier, and her father and brother are all Meng's henchmen, earlier when Meng's just rose, the head of the Lian family saw the potential of the Meng family and took the initiative to take refuge, Zheng Guogong specially hired Lian as the wife of the son in order to show his importance to the Lian family.

She is one year younger than Meng Boqin, and she is also in her early forties at this time, maybe the water and soil in northern Xinjiang are indeed not supportive, Lian Shi looked far less young than Feng's age, and the rouge gouache forcibly dressed up a little complexion, but also because of her bloated figure, she couldn't touch the word "beauty" at all.

However, in the end, she was born in Chang'an, and at this time she was wearing a narrow sleeved skirt with a loose green and embroidered Ruyi pattern, covered with a sable fur, and her black hair was curled into a style of back to her heart, and she swayed with a tassel of gilt and blue inlaid agate treasure flower pearls, and a silver gilt filigree inlaid treasure comb, with a gold box big blue gemstone and large pearl earrings, but she also did not lose her lady's bearing.

After she greeted Sheng Weiqiao, she greeted Xuan Yu Feng who got off the carriage later, and the three of them exchanged pleasantries by the carriage, and Peng came up to persuade: "It's windy and snowy here, the princess of the county is pregnant, and Mrs. Feng and her mother are also old, so let's go inside and talk!"

"Look at the foolish courtier. Lian was busy with Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yu Feng's accusation, and invited them to enter the door, "Jizhou is bitterly cold, some simple tea, and please don't dislike the princess and the old lady!"

Sheng Weiqiao said: "Where is Madame, the hussar general has been guarding the frontier for many years, and you are all accompanied by you, all of whom have worked hard and made great achievements. Over the years, I have never complained of suffering. My aunt and I are just here for the first time, so how can we be picky?"

As soon as the people walked in politely, they saw the carved beams and paintings, although the furnishings were not as good as the Zhengguo Mansion in Chang'an, but they also showed everyone's atmosphere everywhere, full of wealth.

After arriving at the back hall and taking a seat, Lian asked the maid to serve fragrant tea, and introduced her daughters-in-law, daughters, and granddaughters to her one by one.

Sheng Weiqiao didn't plan to have a deep friendship with the Meng family, so he just passed by these people, and when he saw people coming up to ask for peace, he would say a few good words and give a meeting gift, so he didn't feel at ease.

At this time, there was a nursing mother holding the titular protagonist of today's full moon wine to kowtow to her, Sheng Weiqiao caught a glimpse of the baby in the swaddling baby with fair skin and delicate appearance, Xu is also about to become a mother, his heart suddenly softened, and said with a smile: "Give me a hug?"

Before Lian could speak, Xuan Yu Feng's face suddenly changed, and he said, "You haven't held the child at all, and you haven't had much energy in your hands for the past two days, what if you fall on the child?"

Sheng Weiqiao glanced at her inexplicably, and said in his heart When did he tell Xuan Yu Feng that he was bored in the past two days?

However, seeing that this aunt didn't want to hold the child by herself, she pursed her lips and heard Lian's say: "It's okay, it's her blessing that the mother is willing to hug her." ”

In the end, he smiled and excused himself: "Forget it, I see that the child is white and cute, and I like it in my heart, but I forget that it is inconvenient now." Fortunately, my aunt reminded me, otherwise how would I explain it to you?"

Maybe Lian clan and other female dependents are not involved in military and political affairs, and the next thing they talk about is some topics between female dependents.

Lian asked a lot of things about Chang'an, because Sheng Weiqiao had never had a relationship with her mother's family, so she could only tell her some streets, scenery, and snacks in Chang'an. ”

"Who says it's not?" This topic resonated with Feng Shi very much, "I still remember what Qiao Er looked like when she was holding a full moon wine, and she was about to become a mother herself at this time." ”

chatting with each other like this, guests came over one after another.

I don't know if it's because everyone in Northern Xinjiang tacitly maintains the face-to-face relationship, or because Zhao Shi came to the banquet today. Although the female relatives who came to greet Sheng Weiqiao did not say it too clearly, from the attitude and the clearly distinguished seats, it can probably be guessed that today's guests arrived very neatly, and Meng Boqin and Zhao Shi's henchmen were present.

The people on Meng Boqin's side had a respectful and distant attitude towards Sheng Weiqiao, and when they saw the ceremony, they retreated to the side, and they definitely didn't come to her.

There was a young lady who came to the banquet with her mother and sister-in-law, who was relatively young, only six or seven years old, probably curious about Sheng Weiqiao's clothes and jewelry in the northern Xinjiang, and looked at her a few more times, and was pulled to the side by her sister-in-law to whisper.

Sheng Weiqiao saw it out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but laugh a little: "Is this when I flood beast?"

As for Zhao Shi's subordinates, they didn't have any special intimacy with her, and only exchanged glances vaguely with a hesitant gaze.

"It seems that here in Northern Xinjiang, the attitude towards Mizhen is still very ambiguous in general?" Sheng Weiqiao noticed this scene, biting his lip lightly, and secretly thought, "After all, it is impossible for everyone to hide the outside affairs from their families, if there are people in these people's husbands or sons who privately express their good feelings and tendencies for Mizhen, there is no reason why no one who came up to talk to me at this time did not say anything, not even a single person who was eager to try?"

She secretly felt disappointed in her heart, but when she thought about it, she also felt that this was common sense: Rong Sleeping Crane's reputation was widely known in the past two years, mainly because he won the champion, and then was found to be the prince's concubine, both of which happened in Chang'an, and Northern Xinjiang is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and the flow of information is not convenient.

Therefore, Zhao Shi's subordinates, unless they have a way to get information, they are familiar with Rong Sleeping Crane at best, far from the point of worshipping their heads, how can they abandon the mediocre but familiar but eldest son Rong Qingchu and choose Rong Sleeping Crane?

"It's just that I'm going to a banquet in the Hussar General's Mansion now, and now that Lian and others are watching, it's not good for me to take the initiative to find them. Sheng Weiqiao was a little regretful, "Otherwise, maybe you can convince a few, and indirectly affect the people who earn them the title!"

At this time, someone came in to tell him, saying that Meng Boqin and others had come back from the barracks, and that they had heard that Sheng Weiqiao was already in the house, so they were going to come over to say goodbye.

When Sheng Weiqiao heard the news, he hurriedly put away his thoughts, and after sitting upright, he settled down and was ready to face the current commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army!
