Chapter 229: Sheng Weiqiao: Today is really smooth...... Wait a minute!?
Sheng Xiang was silent for a long time, and finally knelt down in his robe: "Little Sheng Xiang, meet the son!"
removed the previous ranking of "Childe", and the intention is self-evident.
Sheng Sleeping Crane was not surprised by his choice, after all, although the Sheng Mansion of Nanfeng County was also full of flowers, Sheng Lanci, who was in charge, already had a powerful steward Sheng Fu in front of him.
Sheng Xiang, as a member of the old lady Sheng's family, although it cannot be said that he is quite excluded in the Sheng Mansion, but as Sheng Sleeping Crane said, the Sheng family is now developing rapidly, and there is no shortage of him as a loyal and capable steward of the Sheng family.
Therefore, Sheng Lan resigned to preside over the Sheng Mansion, and when employing people, the first thing that came to mind must be his descendant.
Although such a Sheng Xiang was not targeted, he actually did not get many opportunities.
If it weren't for the fact that Feng Shi found out that the timing of her pregnancy was too ingenious this time, Old Lady Sheng was worried about the situation of the "eldest grandson", and made an exception to interfere with Sheng Shenghe's entourage going north, whether it was the vanguard or the position of the chief steward in the house at this moment, it would not be Sheng Xiang's turn.
At this time, Sheng Sleeping Crane spread out his words to him, which was tantamount to letting him choose between completely joining the Sheng family and grandson and returning to the Sheng Mansion to be an inconspicuous family child...... How could Sheng Xiang not choose the former?
After all, the blind can see that even if the Feng family gives birth to a male heir this time, in the future, Sheng Lanci will not give anything to the eldest son, and Sheng Minghe will definitely be able to get ahead by relying on his own talents!
And Sheng Xiang's current age is not suitable for being a close attendant for the child Feng is now carrying...... Even if it is suitable, it will not be his turn, after all, whether it is Sheng Lanci or the Feng family, there is no shortage of manpower under their hands, why should they let go of the descendants who have followed them for many years, and use the people of Old Lady Sheng?
In other words, if Sheng Xiang refused this solicitation, he would be almost like this in his life, and he basically didn't expect to squeeze into the core power of the Sheng family.
What's more, Old Lady Sheng has more than one steward under Sheng Xiang, and the reason why he was specially sent over to be relatively young is actually to let him follow Sheng Sleeping Crane in the future and be a housekeeper for Sheng Sleeping Crane...... Of course, the premise is that Sheng Sleeping Crane sees him and is willing to use him.
This will be Sheng Xiang's choice, but it is not a betrayal, so although he felt a little caught off guard by the sudden persecution, he changed his name after kneeling, but he was a little lucky, after all, for him personally, the most important thing to go north this time is to let Sheng Sleeping Crane nod and leave him.
Thinking like this, there was a faint hint of joy in his expression.
"Get up!" Sheng Sleeping Crane looked at the steward playfully for a moment before he called, but at this time he changed his pleasant appearance and said soothingly, "You are a person sent by your grandfather, and you have no ill intentions towards our brothers and sisters." Fang Cai's concealment and justification are also for the sake of the harmony of our brothers and sisters, I know all of this...... You don't have to think about it, I have no ill will towards the good girl, and on my mother's side, I know very well that my mother's personality is very good, and she has always been generous, and she will never be unfavorable to me! Otherwise, with my mother's attention to the good girl, how could I let the good girl come to Chang'an with me?"
Sheng Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, after all, although he chose Sheng Sleeping Crane, but he had always been ordered by Old Lady Sheng before, if he took refuge in Sheng Sleeping Crane, he would be asked to turn his back on Old Lady Sheng's advice, even if he coveted his personal future, this hurdle in his heart was really difficult to pass.
Although he felt that what Sheng Sleeping Crane said might not be true, he felt a lot more relieved when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Childe, in fact, this matter really has nothing to do with the third lady, mainly because of the heads of a few maids in the green brocade." If the third lady has any inappropriate behavior, the little one thinks that eighty percent of them are picked up by the green brocade! This is also the eldest lord and the eldest lady are far away in Nanfeng County at the moment, and the eldest lady is still pregnant, so it is not good to take some trivial matters and bother rashly. Otherwise, the little ones would have gone back a long time ago and replaced them all!"
For fear that Sheng Sleeping Crane would think he was lying, he was about to cite evidence, but he saw Sheng Sleeping Crane laughing and said: "I said, I know this matter in my heart, you don't have to worry! After all, Chang'an and Nanfeng County are thousands of miles away, and the little things we are watching here have been passed back, but I am afraid that my father, mother, grandfather, and they will also be anxious, so there is no need to use things that we can deal with to disturb the elders. ”
When Sheng Xiang heard this, he couldn't tell if he meant it, but he knew that he couldn't continue, so he had to sigh secretly and put down his hand and said, "Yes!"
After more than an hour, Sheng Weiqiao, who finally got up to dress up, called him to him again, and deliberately dismissed him left and right, not even allowed to stay in the green brocade, and lowered his voice and asked alone: "Where did you buy the medicine you brought yesterday? Could it be that the medicine shop is not in a hurry? Why do you wake up halfway through the use?!"
"Wake up halfway?" Sheng Xiang was taken aback, and said in his heart that the medicine I gave you, taking it is the same as not taking it, where is there anything to wake up and not wake up?
But I also vaguely know why Sheng Sleeping Crane called himself over for questioning this morning.
sighed in my heart: "Miss, Miss, you are not a harmful piece of material at all, you have to go to the pit of the eldest son, oh no, you have to go to the pit of the son, why bother?!"
He had the heart to break it and persuaded Sheng Weiqiao to stop.
But when I thought about my future, I hesitated...... He is actually only in his twenties this year, and although he already has a pair of children under his knees, he is still in his prime.
At this age, he has become a steward, and it is really unwilling to say that for the sake of this third lady, who does not belong to the direct master, she ruined her good future.
This can't be said that he is not loyal enough to the Sheng family, after all, Sheng Sleeping Crane, who recruited him just now, is the eldest son of the Sheng family, or the grandson of his previous master, Mrs. Sheng, who attaches the most importance to him.
For the entire Sheng family, Sheng Xiang is loyal, but the bias between the Sheng family's heirs is still related to his own future, and he can't help but hesitate.
This will be considered, and his mouth will be casually perfunctory, "Miss, have you taken that medicine yourself? How can this work? Didn't you say, just stay and take a look and remember the smell?!"
Sheng Weiqiao straightened his face and said, "The smell is so faint, I feel that it is difficult to remember after smelling it for a while." Thinking that he was in his room anyway, he simply made some water and tasted it...... As a result, I slept for a while, but I woke up not long after! It's not the kind of thing that you can't get up when you fall asleep as the so-called words in the book! Will you go and ask the pharmacy later, is it that they see that you have an accent in the official dialect you speak, and they know that we are from other places, so they adulterated fake medicine in it?!"
“…… Uh, miss, isn't it, you don't need it much?" Sheng Xiang hesitated for a long time, and finally subconsciously followed Sheng Sleeping Crane's instructions and said, "The small one was said to be a little bit before, but the small one is a rough person, and the small one is a little bit, and it is estimated that for someone who is used to living a fine life like Miss, it will be more!"
Sheng Weiqiao was suspicious: "Really?"
If she had given Sheng Sleeping Crane a drug yesterday, then she would definitely suspect that she had encountered a pure fake medicine, but because of the success of Sheng Sleeping Crane's performance at night, Sheng Weiqiao's suspicion of fake medicine has weakened a lot.
Sheng Xiang said that the amount was too small, so she muttered: "The first time I drugged, Sheng Sleeping Crane didn't respond at all! The second time I added the amount, although he also lasted for a long time, and woke up once in the middle, he slept very deeply...... Is it really a little less?"
After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "Didn't you say before that you would get dizzy and headache if you take too much sweat medicine?" I just want to see the effect of the medicine, but I don't want to make myself dizzy or have a headache!"
Sheng Xiang heard this, and said in his heart that it seems that this young lady is still measured, and it is estimated that at most she wants to toss the son, and she doesn't want to be heavy-handed?
Because it was a fake medicine anyway, he coughed dryly, and said casually: "Miss, in fact, this dizziness or headache refers to putting a lot of it, for example, the small one that gave you a sweat medicine, all put it into a pot of wine, so that you will get dizzy and headache after eating." Wait for a few more dollars to be free, and that won't happen. ”
"I see!" Sheng Weiqiao thought to himself, then find another opportunity to try it today, if it still doesn't work, let Sheng Xiang go to a reliable pharmacy and get some authentic sweat medicine!
Thinking so, after telling Sheng Xiang not to spread the word, she sent him away, secretly thinking about how to do things in Sheng Sleeping Crane's food.
And then it was a very smooth day......
In the early afternoon, Sheng Sleeping Crane asked for a pot of black plum drink, saying that he suddenly wanted to eat it.
The black plum drink was originally used to relieve the heat in summer, and it was basically not made in winter, but when the sleeping crane was ordered, the small kitchen naturally had to obey its fate. It's just that this eldest prince is strong and strong, and the black plum drink is not a particularly cold thing, so it should be okay for him to eat it.
And Sheng Weiqiao was very happy when he found out, because the black plum drink was purple in color, and the taste was sweet and sour, and he sprinkled a handful of sweat medicine, no matter the color or smell, he couldn't see it at all!
It's just born for sweat medicine!
After she repeated her old tricks and tried her best to break people away, she mixed the "sweat medicine" in the black plum drink, happily took it to Sheng Sleeping Crane, and sent her subordinates out of the study as usual, and said with fake concern: "Why does my brother suddenly want to eat black plum drink? Does the earth dragon burn too much and feel hot? Do you want to invite the doctor to come and show you?"
"Good girl, you'll soon know what I'm doing with heat!" Sheng Sleeping Crane glanced at her quietly, smiled and drank a pot of black plum drink in one go, pushed the pot aside casually, and said with a smile: "I didn't feel hot, but I suddenly had an appetite...... Ah, I forgot to let the good girl taste it just now!"
Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't want to drink it on this cold day!"
Looking at the girl's nervous and expectant look, Sheng Sleeping Crane touched her chin and said with a smile: "Well, this day is really cold, but fortunately, the first month will pass soon, and after that...... Hmm, why do I feel a little dizzy?"
Seeing that he was halfway through his words, he suddenly held his forehead in confusion, Sheng Weiqiao was happy in his heart, and said secretly: "It seems that Sheng Xiang is right, yesterday it was really a short time, and the medicine was insufficient!"
He pretended to be worried: "How can you get dizzy if you're so good? Is it that you have been studying too hard for the past two days...... Tired?"
"I've been relaxing for the past two days, how can I be tired?" Sheng Shenghe immediately denied it, but his tone was clearly low, and he looked like he was not in good spirits, he staggered up, walked towards the soft couch, and said vaguely, "Xu was too late to talk to the obedient girl yesterday, but he got up as usual to practice martial arts this morning, so he was sleepy...... Well, I'm sorry, I won't be able to talk to you, so go yourself!"
"Well, brother, you're tired, just go to sleep quickly!" Sheng Wei Qiao shook his fists and said expectantly, "I'll leave immediately...... Let's go...... Brother, brother, brother?!"
She shouted several times, but did not see Sheng Sleeping Crane answering, pressed her joy, stepped forward to check, and saw Sheng Sleeping Crane lying on the couch, on her white face as jade, the sword eyebrows flew into the sideburns, and under the closed eyes, the feather eyelashes dragged out two distinct shadows, which made the bridge of the nose more straight and the thin lips bright.
Sheng Weiqiao called "brother" a few more times, and reached out to push him, seeing that he had no reaction, he smiled with satisfaction, and pulled the strap of his shirt with ease......
At this moment, the corners of Sheng Sleeping Crane's mouth were silently hooked, and he suddenly raised his arm and grabbed her waist!
Before Sheng Weiqiao could react, he had already been pulled onto the couch by him lightly and fell heavily on him!
"???" The girl, who hadn't understood what was going on, instinctively opened her mouth to exclaim, but she was prepared for Sheng Sleeping Crane, and pressed the back of her head with her backhand and kissed her on the lips!!
