Chapter 40: Auntie?
Xu Baomo comforted her with tears and smiles for a long time, and when she saw that she finally controlled her emotions, she went to ask for water to rinse her mouth, and pulled her back to the cabin to continue freshening up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zheng Sen arranged an adjacent cabin for them, and sent a bath bucket to the room, as well as a change of clothes - Xu Baomo was given a set of coarse cloth shirts by Xu Lianshan; Sheng Weiqiao, because she was a girl, had special treatment, but she took Sheng Sleeping Crane's robe, and the texture was obviously better.
After the two of them took a separate bath and changed clothes, they hastily ate some food, and because they were extremely tired, they settled without saying a word.
Sheng Weiqiao was worried about whether she would have nightmares at night before she fell asleep, but because she was too tired, she lay down and fell asleep, and this sleep was surprisingly comfortable. Except that she seemed to hear Xu Baomo and Sheng Sleeping Crane shouting to herself in the middle, but she was powerless to answer, it was a rare good sleep.
It's just that when she woke up, she was surprised to find that she was no longer on the ship!
"Miss, you're finally awake!" The little maid in front of her was only about seven or eight years old, obviously she hadn't undergone any good training, and when she opened her eyes, the first thing she did was not to ask her what she needed, but she jumped up and ran out - fortunately, not long after she went out, she brought back a girl who was the same age as Sheng Weiqiao.
"Hello, little aunt, hello!" This girl is very beautiful: a small face with a big palm, white and greasy skin, delicate facial features, and a pair of eyes that are especially well-born, reminding people of the best gems, big, round and bright, at this moment with a little curiosity and nervousness, quietly looking at Sheng Weiqiao, "I, my name is Gongsun Yingjiang." ā
When she spoke, she couldn't stop rubbing the corners of her clothes, and a shallow scarlet quickly rose from behind her ears, and her soft voice revealed a clear timidity, "Little uncle...... Uncle Tell Me to Take Care of You Here! Uncle Boy is Your Brother!"
Sheng Weiqiao looked at her blankly for a while, and said tentatively: "Are you ...... The daughter of the Lord of the Sea of Gongsun?"
Before she could speak, she was taken aback by herself: her originally sweet and clear voice became extremely hoarse!
Gongsun Yingjiang hurriedly turned around and quickly poured tea for her: "My aunt has been in a coma for four days and four nights, although I have fed you water in the middle, she must be extremely thirsty!"
"I slept for four days and four nights?!" Sheng Weiqiao took the water and moistened his throat, feeling much more comfortable, before he was surprised, "How is this possible?!"
Before the words fell, seeing that Gongsun Yingjiang subconsciously took a step back, looking frightened by herself, she was silent and slowed down her tone, "I thought I just slept and got up!"
"Uncle Xiao said that you were frightened, and the night wind blew, and the heat started on the boat. However, there was no doctor and no medicinal materials on the ship, so the diagnosis and treatment were delayed. Gongsun Yingjiang received her reassuring eyes, and then he calmed down, and explained in a low voice, "Fortunately, your foundation is good, last night the boat entered the port at night, and the little uncle got off the boat and asked the doctor on the island to see you first and prescribe medicine, no, you will wake up the next day?"
Sheng Weiqiao noticed the word "first", struggled for a while, and finally asked: "Your little uncle...... How is he now?"
"He was taken over by my father to take care of him personally, and I heard from the doctor that he was not lightly injured this time, and I am afraid that it will damage his vitality. When Gongsun Yingjiang said this, seeing Sheng Weiqiao's frowning, he hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't worry too much, life and death at sea are commonplace, and it's really nothing to get hurt!"
These words sounded like comfort, but Sheng Weiqiao listened to her sweet and soft voice and looked at her weak willow supportive appearance, and always felt that this kind of "life and death is down" words came out of her mouth very inconsistently.
But now is not the time to worry about this, Sheng Weiqiao groaned, and asked Xu Baomo again: "Is Brother Xu also on the island now? Why don't you see others here?"
With Xu Baomo's identity, Tortoiseshell Island would never be unfavorable to him, so although Sheng Weiqiao hadn't seen this world brother since he woke up, he wasn't too worried.
"This is where my boudoir is located, and the little uncle said that it was not suitable for the prince to come in, so he arranged other accommodations. Sure enough, Gongsun Yingjiang said softly, "My aunt will be freshened up in a while, if you want to see him, I will send someone to invite you?"
Sheng Weiqiao glanced at her with a complicated mood: "I'm tired of you!"
- Her mood can't help but be complicated: when she wakes up, it is not the point to have an extra big niece who is about the same age as herself, the point is that this big niece is the daughter of a bandit!
The kind that four generations of a family have hung on the wanted list!
Grandfather is an officer who fought against Ruru, his father is a Jinshi with the title of the gold list and the editor of the Hanlin Academy, his mother is a powerful lady, and the most deviant of all relatives is the second uncle Sheng Lansi who often goes to the Qinglou - but Sheng Lansi is at most inappropriate, but he did not violate the "Da Mu Law".
Growing up in such a family, Sheng Weiqiao has always believed that his family is definitely a model of law-abiding!
When she was on the ship before, she already felt overwhelmed when she inferred from the descriptions of Zheng Sen and others that Sheng Sleeping Crane had grown up in a bandit's den. It's just that there were too many things that happened that day, especially when she killed the young master Han who was rude to herself, and she couldn't deal with all the emotions in her heart, so she didn't care about reacting to it at all.
Now that people have arrived on Tortoiseshell Island, listening to Gongsun Yingjiang's mouthful of "aunt", Sheng Weiqiao felt very irritable and embarrassed while absent-mindedly grooming: she doesn't want to be an aunt to a pirate at all, okay?!
"How nice would it be if this Gongsun Ying Jiang treated me like Zheng Sen and them?" Then I would just ask her not to call me 'aunt'!" Looking at Gongsun Ying Jiang who followed him step by step, Sheng Weiqiao deeply realized the pain of Sheng Sleeping Crane wanting to beat her but couldn't when she was in Sheng Mansion, "But this girl looks delicate and timid...... If I say that, she'll cry, right?!"
Although Sheng Weiqiao lacked due affection for the Gongsun family because she didn't care about her family's family history at all, but looking at the white, clean, beautiful and particularly well-behaved and timid Gongsun Yingjiang, she weighed it for a long time, and couldn't say anything ruthless, so she could only endure the anxiety in her heart, listen to her "aunt", and introduce the current situation of Tortoiseshell Island.
When Sheng Weiqiao was at Young Master Han's place, he heard that the situation on Tortoiseshell Island was worrying.
However, in fact, the tortoiseshell island is not difficult in terms of materials now, at least the ordinary use is no problem, which is also the reason why her antipyretic medicine can be prepared immediately.
"The reason why I always only defend and not attack is actually not all because of the great momentum under the cooperation of Han Pan. In the final analysis, it was several uncles who had their own ideas, and they did not obey their father, forcing their father to be bound and not easy to move. Gongsun Yingjiang's delicate little face was full of worry, and he sighed, "This time, I don't know who released the false news that my father had fallen into a plot and was dying, deceived the little uncle back, and brought my aunt and the prince of the world with me - fortunately, the two auspicious people have their own natural appearances, and nothing really happened to them! Otherwise, we will not be able to atone for their sins in death!"
Sheng Weiqiao was taken aback and said, "Ling Zun is okay? You mean, it was your Gongsun clan who managed to trick your little uncle into coming back? Are they crazy? Now Han Pan is still surrounding Tortoiseshell Island!"
According to what Young Master Han said to Zheng Sen, it has not been a day or two since the Gongsun clan has been pressed on Tortoiseshell Island, and the wind has been falling for so long, and the high-level are still thinking about intrigue and fighting each other all day long, Sheng Weiqiao really doesn't know how they survived to this day?
Thinking of the young master Han who died in his hands after being narrowly pierced by Sheng Sleeping Crane, Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but wring his eyebrows, thinking that it was because the Han Pan family was also a waste, so the Gongsun family could rest assured that the infighting continued?
But I heard Gongsun Ying Jiang sigh: "Uncles have always felt that Daddy is too soft-hearted and unsuitable to be in charge of the Gongsun Clan! When my grandfather was here before, they didn't dare to say this openly, but after my grandfather died in battle, they always felt that they should take advantage of Han Pan's siege of Tortoiseshell Island to drive Daddy down from the position of the sea lord and replace him with a sea lord who is evil enough to come to power!"
She said here and apologized apologetically, "Gongsun's family affairs have affected my aunt, it's really ...... It's ......."
The girl seemed to be unable to find a suitable wording because of her shallow learning, and a fog gradually rose in her bright eyes, and Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly said comfort: "It's okay, it's not your fault! Besides, I came here, didn't you already tell my father with a pigeon letter?
"I'm afraid that after your father comes, because the little uncle's subordinates took you away without authorization, causing you to kill people with your own hands and have a fever for four days, and you are still exiled to Tortoiseshell Island, you will be angry with our Gongsun clan!" But I didn't know that at this moment, Gongsun Ying Jiang Rourou's weak tears were laughing, and his heart was very helpless, "Although the little uncle saved you in time at the expense of his injuries, but just like you blocked Gongsun Xi's words: If they don't kidnap you and go to sea, these things will not happen!"
Even though Sheng Weiqiao looks quite peaceful at the moment, Sheng Lanci, the father behind her, is not easy to fool!
If you don't take advantage of Sheng Lanci's arrival yet, coax his daughter more, and turn around Sheng Lanci to settle the accounts, how can the Gongsun Shu family, who is already in internal and external difficulties, resist it? !
This morning, Gongsun Ying Jiang Ke had already heard that her uncle's plan to kidnap Sheng Weiqiao was said to be from Gongsun Shu's instructions - at that time, Sheng Lan's love for his daughter will be prosperous, even if he has received strong support from the old sea lord Gongsun Tu before, but people go to tea and cool, but they may not be willing to favor Gongsun Shu in the internal struggle of the Gongsun family!
This will Gongsun Yingjiang naturally want to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, and quietly instill in Sheng Weiqiao that those people in the Gongsun clan who want to compete with Gongsun for the position of the sea lord are the culprits of Sheng Weiqiao's tragic experience in the past two days!
After all, if they hadn't spread false news and deceived Sheng Sleeping Crane into escaping from Dangui Court in the middle of the night, there would not have been a thing of Sheng Sleeping Crane's subordinates taking Sheng Weiqiao with him without permission, wouldn't it?
Sheng Weiqiao didn't see that she had become the focus of the Gongsun clan's current round of infighting, but she didn't have the heart to mix up the affairs of the Gongsun clan - anyway, her father would come to Tortoiseshell Island to pick her up in two days, and her father would be in charge of everything at that time, so why should she worry about it?
So I comforted Gongsun Yingjiang, and used some porridge under her persuasion, which was also a coincidence: just put down the toothbrush, and Xu Baomo walked in under the leadership of the little maid!
"Shimei, you're awake!" Seeing that Sheng Weiqiao seemed to be in good spirits, he was obviously relieved and said happily, "How do you feel now?
"I'm doing well now, this time I'm really annoying Brother Shi!" Sheng Weiqiao was very happy to see him, and at the same time a little embarrassed, after all, Xu Baomo didn't need to encounter the matter of Han Shaozhu, let alone come to this tortoiseshell island, although he is good now, Sheng Weiqiao felt that it was dragging him down, "Brother Shi was originally a guest of my family, but my family failed to entertain you well, but tired you to run around like this, it is really rude!"
Xu Baomo pretended to be stunned: "Our grandfathers have a good relationship, and they don't treat each other's juniors as outsiders, and the sister keeps saying 'guest', is this a deliberate relationship with me?"
Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly apologized - after their greetings, Gongsun Ying Jiang stepped forward to salute Xu Baomo in shame: "Lord Shizi!"
"Miss Gongsun doesn't have to be polite!" Sheng Weiqiao noticed that Xu Baomo, who had been acting hearty and generous in front of her, looked very uncomfortable when his eyes fell on Gongsun Yingjiang, he didn't even dare to look at Gongsun Yingjiang, and coughed dryly, "Miss Gongsun personally took care of Shimei for a day and a night, she must be very tired?"
Gongsun Yingjiang knew that he wanted to talk to Sheng Weiqiao alone, so he retired with interest.
After she left, Sheng Weiqiao was curious: "Brother Shi seems to be a little deliberately alienated from that Miss Gongsun?
Sheng Weiqiao actually didn't immediately like her because of Gongsun Yingjiang's performance, but this girl didn't look like she would be annoying, Xu Baomo was such a gentle and polite person, why would he be so unnatural when facing her?
