Chapter 53: The Fairness and Unfairness of Young Couples
On this day, Rong Sleeping Crane and Sheng Weiqiao left the Ningwei Hou Mansion in Gongsun Yingjiang's promise that "he will be killed when he turns back", because of Xu Baomo's death, what kind of dire situation will this person suffer at the hands of his wife next, and after the three of Xu Lao Hou Ye returned, how will they deal with him when they learn about it...... Whether it is Rong Sleeping Crane or Sheng Weiqiao, they don't want to care about it at all!!
That kind of bastard deserves it no matter what situation he falls in!!
"By the way, the twenty-ninth of this month is the birthday of the obedient girl, how are the obedient girls going to live?" Leaving Xu Baomo's mess behind, Rong Sleepy Crane thought of something and asked Sheng Weiqiao, "Do you invite someone to come to the mansion to celebrate you, or do you just go to the Zhuangzi outside the city to relax?"
He didn't say that Sheng Weiqiao had forgotten his birthday, this was mainly because there were elders in the family, and her generation would not have made a big deal about her birthday outside of the week, and Sheng Lanci had always had a child with her before he quit his wife, and he was afraid that she would have three long and two short.
It is like gold and jade on weekdays, but when it comes to the birthday, it is often ignored, or deliberately ignored, in order to imply the existence in the underworld: You see, our child's birthday is no different from usual every year, and it can be seen that it is not very precious, so don't accept her?
Therefore, Sheng Weiqiao did not have the habit of celebrating his birthday in a big way, and when he heard the words, he muttered: "Mi Zhen must want to go to the Zhuangzi outside the city to relax and relax, speaking of which he is in the Zhuangzi outside the city, I have heard of it earlier, but I have never been there until now!"
But after thinking about it carefully, she still rejected the offer, because: "Next time I go outside the city, my father and they should wait for my birthday before leaving, and it is not good to leave them behind." ”
Rong Sleeping Crane was really disappointed, pestering her to kiss and hug, and after a while, he went to summon the housekeeper and others to discuss how to set up wine and how to treat guests...... Sheng Weiqiao wanted to help when he saw that he was busy, but was pushed away by Rong Sleeping Crane: "Good girl's birthday, of course, you should rest, watch your sleeping brother do it for you!
Sheng Weiqiao felt that this was fair, and was about to nod, not wanting to let the sleeping crane follow, and said, "But count the days, by the time you sleep on your brother's birthday, you are already pregnant......! It's not fair to think that your brother is sleeping with you!"
"You have a big belly!" Sheng Weiqiao was embarrassed, chased him with his skirt, and scolded while beating, "I think about some mess all day long! I don't know if I am so unserious when I go out, just like Xu Baomo!"
Rong Sleeping Crane hurriedly argued: "Your sleeping brother is just not serious with you, and when you meet other women, your sleeping brother is so serious that he can be a model for the whole world, okay?"
"You just saw a woman like this, if you see a man?" Sheng Weiqiao heard this, his eyes rolled, and he pretended to be fierce and asked, "Hurry up and tell me honestly, have you hooked up with a beautiful man outside!?"
"......" Rong Sleeping Crane secretly spat out a mouthful of blood, deeply regretting why he had to tell Sheng Weiqiao about breaking his sleeves in the first place, "The most affectionate man I have outside is our father, good girl, do you doubt your father's love for you and his loyalty to our mother?!"
Raising Sheng Lanci, he finally blocked Sheng Weiqiao's question, but the new princess still caught up with Rong Sleeping Crane and twisted his face for a while to show her dissatisfaction with the words "big belly".
Of course, Rong Sleeping Crane would not twist her face in vain, so she took the opportunity to steal a few more incense sticks, and put her hands on it for a while, before she ran away with a smile in Sheng Weiqiao's coquettish reprimand.
Next, in addition to following up on the matter of recruiting the bandits...... In fact, both the Meng family and King Gaomi knew this matter in their hearts, that is, the resolution of Zhao'an would definitely pass.
After all, even if you don't rush at the people at sea, not for the tranquility along the coast, you are also at the wealth of the sea!
The reason why it was stuck at this time and there was no progress for a long time, in the final analysis, was because Rong Sleeping Crane took the lead in bringing back the Gongsun clan on Tortoiseshell Island, and the Meng clan thought that King Gaomi had already taken the lead in recruiting the sea bandits, and in order to regain the advantage, they naturally couldn't let the matter of Zhao'an pass so easily.
Why do you have to pay a price on the side of King Gaomi to pull the two sides back to the same starting line!
However, what Meng didn't know was that the relationship between King Gaomi and Rong Sleeping Crane was even worse than the outside world thought that those who believed that their father and son were at odds.
Not only does the wealth of Tortoiseshell Island have nothing to do with King Gaomi, but even the hands of the Gongsun clan and Wuyi Camp do not have the share of King Gaomi!
In this case, how could King Gaomi use the method of ceding his own interests in exchange for the approval of the Meng clan?
He was forced by the princess before, and the heartache of taking out a million to hire Rong Sleeping Crane has not passed!
Why did Sheng Wei Qiao take out the meeting gift on the day of the tea ceremony, and the Fushou bonsai that did not have a great relationship with the newlywed marriage of his son and daughter-in-law?
Isn't this that he was blackmailed too hard by Rong Sleeping Crane before, so that almost all the things suitable for the newlyweds were stuffed into the dowry, and when it was time to serve tea, he really couldn't take it out for the occasion, and he was reluctant to buy it, so he picked a pair of fools from the bonsai that the emperor rewarded him?
King Gaomi refused to give in, and the Meng clan was unwilling to suffer, so a stalemate ensued.
However, Rong Sleeping Crane knew that this stalemate would not last long, because the Tortoiseshell Island had already proved the wealth of the pirates, and there were so many gold and silver mountains there, whether it was King Gaomi or the Meng family, they were afraid of long nights and dreams...... Or rather, they can't wait to get their hands on the money.
After all, Northern Xinjiang is not a little expensive.
Although the Northern Xinjiang Army is theoretically raised by the country's treasury, King Gaomi and the Meng clan have fought fiercely over the years, and a large part of the silver that originally flowed into the treasury was intercepted by them to cultivate their cronies and henchmen.
This point is also used to control the generals of the Northern Xinjiang Army, so although the army that the imperial court has attached the most importance to so far is the Northern Xinjiang Army, the allocation cannot be generous...... After all, Emperor Xuanjing and Er Shu in the palace have a lot of expenses.
You must know that Emperor Xuanjing has indeed been abandoned in the past few decades, and he is a real faint monarch, but after all, he can be protected by a character like Huan Guanlan back then, in case he cuts the palace expenses one after another, making him annoyed and running from the harem to the front court, and personally observing things, whether it is King Gaomi or the Meng family, there is no such convenience as now.
Now as Emperor Xuanjing is getting older, Ershu is clearly about to pass the Jirong Sleeping Crane, and Meng's successors and side concubines have been put in place respectively...... The Northern Xinjiang Army can't say that it is just raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, and the money on this eye is naturally important.
In short, Rong Sleeping Crane is not worried about Zhao'an, the reason why he often runs out a few days after he gets married is actually to prepare for going to Western Xinjiang.
Waving the flag and shouting for the matter of recruiting peace or something, is just a pretense.
At this time, in addition to being busy with business, he was preparing a birthday banquet for Sheng Weiqiao.
So within a few days, whether the nobles of Chang'an received the post or not, they all knew about it.
Everyone praised Rong Sleeping Crane for pampering the princess of the county, but also a little bit of a good show...... This good show is not aimed at others, but at Zhao Taoming.
Because after the previous decision between Princess Gaomi and Mrs. Qin to kiss and marry broke down, although the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Zhao family, Li, took her two younger daughters-in-law to Gaomi Mansion to seek justice for her sister-in-law, she did not recognize it to the outside world, either Gaomi Mansion or the Zhao family.
only said that the sisters of the Zhao family were good with their aunt, so they went to the palace to stay with their aunt for a few days.
In this case, at this time, Rong Sleeping Crane wants to celebrate Sheng Weiqiao's birthday, but also to Zhao Taocheng?
So is Zhao Taocheng here or not?
If you don't come, you will look weak-hearted, and you will even be arranged to not want to see the proud appearance of your rival in love; if you come, whispering is indispensable, not to mention Sheng Weiqiao's temper, and the wind comment is a bit different from the virtuous and virtuous and gentle and considerate, who knows if it will borrow the convenience of the proprietor to make it difficult for Zhao Taocheng?
The most terrible thing is that Sheng Weiqiao also has dealings with the girls on Meng's side, and when she went out of the cabinet before, Meng Shuangqiao and a few people went to Sheng Mansion to join in the fun.
Now that less than a month has passed, Sheng Weiqiao's birthday banquet has to invite people, and there is no reason not to invite them.
If these people come over and see Zhao Taocheng, others may be jealous of Zhao Taocheng's family background and dare not laugh at them in person, they don't have this taboo!
Isn't it going to be a good show?
Sheng Weiqiao didn't go out because she had been staying in the house, so she didn't know about these discussions at first, but when Sheng Weirao and Sheng Weiwei went out to buy something, they met Huan Yehe, and was reminded by Huan Yehe in the corner, and came to the door to ask: "Sister, do you want to give Miss Zhao San a good look?" I think this is a bit inappropriate!"
"Where did this come from?" Sheng Weiqiao was confused when he heard this, and said, "Why did you suddenly mention Miss Zhao San?"
After listening to Sheng Weirao's saying that the boiling "good show is about to start" that has been rumored in the noble circle of Chang'an, the girl who is worried about her cousin specially emphasized: "The county lord of Jingshu said that many people say that you will take this opportunity to embarrass Miss Zhao San in revenge for her being matched by the princess to her brother-in-law." ”
"I never thought I would have to invite so many people to a birthday party...... It's always been your brother-in-law's doing. Sheng Weiqiao became suspicious when he heard this, and said secretly: "Isn't this forcing me to keep Zhao Taocheng at that time?"
Eighty percent of this was released by Zhao Taocheng's side, probably planning to come to the banquet, and then he was afraid of being troubled, especially afraid of being ridiculed by the Meng family, so he released the rumor in advance that "the princess of Mizhen County will use the identity of the main family to be unfavorable to Miss Zhao San at the banquet", so as to teach Sheng Weiqiao to protect Zhao Taocheng in turn in order not to fall into such a tongue.
She was not very happy in her heart, she felt that this was too underestimating her own strength, and frowned for a while, before she said to Sheng Weirao, "Okay, I know about this, I will tell your brother-in-law, don't worry!"
Sheng Weirao also knew that although her cousin didn't have much thought, her cousin-in-law Rong Sleeping Crane was very thoughtful, so she didn't say much when she heard it, and talked to her about common things, and then left...... It's only been a few days since her sister came out of the cabinet, even if her brother-in-law is busy outside at this time, who knows when she will suddenly come back?
At that time, her sister-in-law will be very eye-catching.
