Chapter 113: You Cry Slowly, I'll Carry Her Head to See...
When the chickens and dogs of Ningwei Hou's Mansion were jumping, the mansion a few streets away was w.kgege.la just quiet
"This is our family's own residence, just pick it up slowly, don't rush it. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "After dinner, everyone bathed and changed their clothes, Sheng Sleeping Crane cleaned up, and before he could completely dry his black hair, he took a white jade crown, hurriedly rolled his hair in a bun, put on a fox fur, and went out to find Sheng Weiqiao in person.
Just went up to the corridor on the left, and slipped over to put more than a dozen boxes in front of the meeting, and the two little maids shivered and guarded in the northwest wind. Not far away, the half-open door was blocked by a hanging curtain, but on the newly pasted window lattice, several people were clearly reflected inside.
Sheng Sleeping Crane walked over and said in a loud voice, "Put out the things you need today, and rest tomorrow, get up and get it again! Don't sleep too late—come to the study and tell Brother Wei about entering the palace today!"
…… Before, Sheng Xiang secretly scolded Ningweihou Mansion for being small, and felt that he had wronged his own son-in-law, but in fact, this Sheng Mansion was smaller than Ningweihou's Mansion, and it was much smaller.
It is no wonder that in a place like Chang'an, where every inch of land is valuable, the land price is not comparable to Nanfeng County at all.
This house was bought by Sheng Lanci when he came to Chang'an to take the exam - and the Sheng family was the home that was only made after Sheng Lanci personally ran the ancestral business - that is to say, when Sheng Lan resigned and bought this house, the Sheng family was just an ordinary rich family, to be precise, an ordinary rich family in Nanfeng County.
So he couldn't afford to buy a mansion here in Chang'an at that time.
In fact, it is now this house with a small garden on the side of the three entrances, and it is already the eldest son of the old lady Sheng, and he is generous - this house has almost drained the cash on the Sheng family's books.
If it weren't for Mrs. Sheng's words at home, Mrs. Ming's mother and son would have gossip.
And Sheng Lanci has always understood the world, and the reason why he spent this money was that he really didn't expect that he would have to go home to serve his father not long after entering the Hanlin Academy, and he would not come back for more than 20 years.
At that time, I thought that if there was no accident, I would be able to pass the exam, and if I stayed in Chang'an as an official in the future, the problem of this residence would definitely have to be solved. And he had to get married at that time, and it was not easy to accommodate his family when he bought a small house--it was also because he took into account living with his wife, so he chose a three-entry house with a small garden on this side, so the price was particularly expensive, so that the couple had a place to spend their leisure time without going out.
At that time, the Sheng family was not very rich, and Sheng Lanci's requirements were naturally not very high, thinking that after getting married, his wife would live in the main house, and when the children were still young, they could live in the back cover room in the third entrance - although the back cover room was also facing south, the courtyard in front of it was far less open than the courtyard opposite the main house, not to mention, it was close to the back wall, which made people not feel at ease and safe - Sheng Lanci's idea was that he could not be a Beijing official for a lifetime, and when the children were older, it was estimated that they should also be released.
When he returns to Chang'an again, most of them have been promoted a few levels, and when the identity is there, it is estimated that the silver has also been saved, so he can sell it here and add some money for a bigger house.
It's just that the house he carefully selected and bought at that time was a little embarrassing for Sheng Sleeping Crane and his party at this moment: as the eldest brother in charge, Sheng Sleeping Crane naturally lived in the main house.
It's not that he is greedy for enjoyment and refuses to give up the main house to the girls, but because the rules are like this, if he doesn't live in this main house, he can only leave it empty.
In the presence of his brother, it is not easy for Sheng Weiqiao and them to live.
Otherwise, if it spreads, it means that they have no rules and will have a bad reputation.
This obviously does more harm than good, and it is not worth doing, so Sheng Sleeping Crane can naturally only live by himself.
And the girls, according to the rules, are to live in the back of the house.
But Sheng Sleeping Crane went over to take a look in person, and felt that compared to Zhu Huan Xiaozhu, those rooms were really shabby enough.
What's more, he was born as a bandit, and the blood on his hands was blocked, so he habitually thought of danger in times of peace.
When he saw the room against the outer wall, he thought that if someone climbed over the wall in the middle of the night, he would live in the main room where he had entered before, and even if he noticed the movement in time, the window that opened to the back of the house was so small that his skeleton would not be able to pass through the small window.
In this way, if you want to stop the thief, you must hit the front courtyard and go around to the moon cave door next to it, even if you don't find someone to open the lock, it will take time to go directly over the wall, so delayed, maybe the thief will have to leave!
Simply let the girls live in the east and west wings of the main house first - fortunately, he has no reputation in Chang'an now, even if he is instructed by Sheng Lanci to visit some people's homes, he only has to go to other people's houses now, and those uncles and uncles can not come here to find him in person, and the brothers and sisters of the uncle and uncle's family are also unfamiliar with each other, and they don't have the time to move around under the festival.
As soon as the door is closed, even if you are in your own family, there is nothing to avoid suspicion.
Of course, in the spring of next year, if he is named on the gold list, there will be a lot of entertainment, and someone will come to visit, and the girls will not be able to stay in the wing, and they will have to go to the back to avoid suspicion.
So Sheng Sleeping Crane called Sheng Weiqiao to come out, and wanted to go to the study to ask about the ins and outs of today's events alone, and wondered if he should try to change to a bigger house while he was still a little free?
After all, Gongsun Yingjiang is also okay, Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwei are both really pampered. This house is not much bigger than the courtyard they used to live alone in the Sheng Mansion, and they may be able to bear it for a short time, but they will definitely feel unbearable after a long time.
The thought room has entered the study, this study is actually the ear room next to the main room, there is a persimmon tree higher than the roof in front of the door, of course, this season is bare and you can't see the type of tree, or Sheng Xiang asked the old man who guarded the house here, and told them.
Now the trees are covered with snow, and they look almost like snow in the dark night, if it weren't for Sheng Sleeping Crane's reminder, Sheng Weiqiao almost hit the trunk of the tree.
She was a little embarrassed and followed Sheng Sleeping Crane into the study.
Probably because there has been no master living here for many years, there is no paving on the ground of the study, only a layer of carved green bricks carved with entwined flower patterns, but fortunately, after all, the whole house is built on the cornerstone that is more than two feet higher than the ground of the courtyard, and the bottom of the green bricks is still connected to the earth dragon.
At this time, the room was warm, and the brother and sister had untied the fox fur they had put on.
Sheng Sleeping Crane put his fox fur on the screen by the door and beckoned: "Sit!"
Lu Jin, who followed Sheng Weiqiao, hurriedly went to make tea.
The tea set is clear at a glance, and it is not far away on the Huanghuali Baibao inlaid vertical cabinet with people entering the top of the treasure.
The house in this house is made of Huanghuali, and there is a long bookcase carved by Huanghuali by the window, because the places other than the desktop are carved into the shape of bamboo, at first glance, I thought it was made of bamboo, and it was very simple and bright.
I think Sheng Sleeping Crane should like this style, because he usually wears a black shirt, and even embroidery patterns are rarely used.
Behind the bookcase, there is a complete set of Huanghuali carved bamboo pattern square-backed chairs, and Sheng Xiang is very intimate to let people spread fine rice on the chairs.
Next to the wall are two red painted gold landscape yellow pear bookshelves side by side, there are only a dozen books on it, but they are brought by Sheng Sleeping Crane on this trip - when Sheng Lan returned to his hometown, he took all the books away - today the move was in a hurry, there are too many things to be busy, although there are a lot of books brought by Sheng Sleeping Crane, he can only put the ones he is reading first.
The brother and sister sat on the gold-painted mica carved landscape brocade couch, in front of them was a small table of yellow pear inlaid enamel lotus pattern, because there was no hot water in the room, the green brocade took the tea set to go outside to make tea.
When she returned to the study, she put the five-petal Kuikou gold and silver group wreath foot secret color tea bowl in front of the brothers and sisters, and Sheng Sleeping Crane waved her hand: "Okay, you can stand down! Don't bother when it's okay!"
If this is usual, Lu Jin will still feel that they are such big brothers and sisters, and it is not good to be alone in the house in the middle of the night?
But when Sheng Weiqiao entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother today, although she was not qualified to follow up all the way to the Warm Pavilion, she was also waiting outside the Warm Pavilion, and naturally saw Nan's iron-green face when she went out, coupled with Xu Caikui's eviction order in the Hou Mansion, and the group of people moving in a hurry, they knew that something big had happened, and the so-called urgent matter was in power, which would naturally not be verbose, and Fu Fu would retire.
Before she went out, Sheng Weiqiao's tears suddenly fell, and she couldn't cry and said, "Brother, I may want to cause you to fall off the list in the Spring Festival!"
The girl has cried several times today, when she was expelled by Xu Caikui before, she cried all the way from the gate to the backyard to worship the Red Pavilion; Later, when she left Ningwei Hou's Mansion, she found that Sheng Weiyu had been frozen in the carriage with the charcoal basin extinguished for a long time, because she was worried that her sister would cry all the way to the house again.
This will be a pair of apricot eyes that were originally clear Lingling, red and swollen, and very pitiful to look at.
Sheng Sleeping Crane felt distressed, and became more and more resentful of the Xu family, and hurriedly comforted him softly: "If you don't fall off the list, it's a big deal not to take the test-anyway, when we go back to Nanfeng County, we are also the children of the powerful family, and it's not that if we can't get into the Jinshi, we won't have anything to eat! I really don't have anything to eat, you still don't know my ability? You can go back to your old business and rob it! In short, I can't suffer you and me." Besides, although I haven't heard you talk about the ins and outs of the matter, I only heard that the Queen Mother made a seven-day appointment with you, and obviously gave you a chance.
"If you can't pass the exam, where is it so simple?!" Sheng Weiqiao saw that he didn't mind, but his heart became more and more sour, and said secretly, "Not to mention my aunt, who is thinking about eradicating you for our mother and daughter, let's just say that my mother is pregnant again now, if she gives birth to a younger sister, it will be fine! If it is a younger brother, how embarrassing do you say your situation in the Sheng family in the future?!"
The most terrible thing is, "You go to the Sheng family to be my brother, and the reason why Tortoiseshell Island is willing to let you go is to let you have an innocent background to participate in the imperial examination, and recruit them after winning the list, so that they will not be deceived by unfamiliar officials to go ashore and send them to the execution ground or northern Xinjiang to be cannon fodder -- if you fall off the list, where will you have the qualifications to do such a big thing? Even if it is done, it will not be your turn to call the shots after those people on Tortoiseshell Island go ashore! At that time, they will be dissatisfied and exposed, will you still have a good end?"
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I had harmed Sheng Sleeping Crane this time, and I couldn't stop it.
Sheng Sleeping Crane coaxed her softly for most of the day, and when she saw that she was still crying, she only felt exhausted: "Ancestor, I told you that you may not really hurt me, even if you do, I am not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?
Seeing that Sheng Weiqiao still couldn't stop crying when he heard this, he shot a few times, gritted his teeth, and said, "Forget it, you cry slowly, I'll take two people to kill Xu Caikui's cheap maid at night, and lift her head to give you anger!"
