On this day, when Sheng Weiqiao returned to the Red Pavilion, he was simply physically and mentally exhausted.

Then she thought that it seemed that whether it was the mother and daughter of the Nan family, or herself, she had forgotten an important thing: "Miss Meng 14 has just received the decree of the successor, although the Ningwei Hou Mansion did not take refuge in the Meng family, but whether it is the Cai Kui sisters or the three of us, we have participated in Miss Meng 14's birthday banquet before, and this time it is said that we should also come to congratulate you!"

The group of people who were in the night of the family all rushed over after the Yongyi Bo Mansion was dispersed.

Accordingly, they should have arrived later...... But because Nan's mother and daughter seem to be enemies with Xu Baomo for eight lifetimes, all afternoon, Sheng Weiqiao was immersed in trying to convince the mother and daughter that Xu Baomo was not as scummy as they thought, while Nan's mother and daughter were immersed in trying to persuade Sheng Weiqiao, Xu Baomo was no longer scumbag, and he definitely didn't look at people, he definitely didn't look at his appearance, and he couldn't be confused by the face of the world's friends......

"Forget it, it's so late, it's too late to go to Zheng Guogong's Mansion at this time, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Sheng Wei Qiao Sheng thought unlovingly, "The test will be over in two days, and when Xu Baomo comes back, will I find an excuse to hide in the red pavilion and not go out first? lest he think that Hengzhu is a death, why don't you die with me?"

In other words, since discovering Xu Baomo's playboy nature, Sheng Weiqiao felt guilty about this person for the first time......

Well, after half a day today, Sheng Weiqiao felt that she couldn't hate Xu Baomo anymore.

After all......

Thanks to her, it is a question whether Xu Baomo can have it in the future......

With a very heavy heart, Sheng Wei hastily washed and then settled.

Early the next morning, after she got up, she sent someone to call Sheng Weiwei and Gongsun Yingjiang, and went to the back hall to ask Nan for peace, and discussed the matter of congratulating Meng Biyun by the way, Nan said: "I also remembered this matter last night, fortunately, we are not close to Meng, and it is nothing if we didn't go over immediately yesterday." I'll just have a few of you on a trip. ”

Because the relationship is not close, the congratulatory gift does not need to be too solemn, and the Nan family packed it up when he remembered it last night.

There are two copies in total, one for the Xu sisters and one for Sheng Weiqiao.

After all, although Sheng Weiqiao and the others live in the Hou Mansion now, they moved out when they went to Zheng Guogong's Mansion for a banquet before. At that time, the post of Meng Biyun's birthday banquet under the Zheng Guogong Mansion was also given to them separately, if they only prepared a gift because they went with the Xu family sisters this time, it would inevitably seem stingy.

Whether it is the Ningwei Hou Mansion or the Sheng family, there is no need to underestimate it.

On the way to Zheng Guogong's mansion, Xu Caikui remembered and asked Sheng Weiqiao: "At Miss Meng Shishi's birthday banquet before, it seems that something went wrong?"

"Sort of. Sheng Weiqiao prevaricated, "There were a lot of people that day, but we didn't know many of them, and then we have been following the county lord Jingshu to avoid in the corner, and I don't know the excitement of their banquet?"

Xu Caikui didn't expect that the undercurrent of the birthday banquet that day was turbulent, and Sheng Weiqiao and the three of them were the most involved, and at this moment they just chatted casually, and said with a smile when they heard the words: "I just said that the county lord of Jingshu is very good, because when my father was a marquis with military merits, when he came to Chang'an, many nobles didn't look down on us." When I met the county lord Jingshu for the first time, I thought that this was the granddaughter of Duke Huan, and the queen mother looked at her differently, and she must be an extremely innocent and arrogant person. Who knew that after really getting acquainted, I found out that this county lord was so kind...... Well, yesterday's incident, it is estimated that she was born in a civil official family after all, and she has never heard of a fight and killing, so she was frightened for a while. ”

To say that this origin is indeed related, the dynasty is considered to be open, but after all, it is also limited, and the restrictions of girls are much more than those of men.

Therefore, the vast majority of girls are mostly influenced by their family members.

Like Xu Caikui, whether it is wise or tactful, he is actually far inferior to Huan Yehe, but for Sheng Weiqiao once beheaded the bandit with his own hands, he was indifferent to it, not to mention scared, it was not touched at all...... At most, I feel "Oh, this sister Wei Qiao can't see that she's not small."

After all, before Xu Zijing was crowned, his wife and daughter followed him in Northern Xinjiang, so they lived on the front line, although it is not enough to say that they have seen real battles in front of the battle, but it is not uncommon for serious wounded people who have just been carried down from the battlefield.

The northern Xinjiang side has been invaded by Ruru for many years, and in order to protect itself, the people cannot but be fierce.

Both men and women are accustomed to seeing blood.

Xu Zijing killed a lot of enemies, and Nan was a fierce character, in such an environment, Xu Caikui had long been numb to the matter of killing people and setting fires, so naturally he would not feel that Sheng Weiqiao killed people, especially if he killed a bandit, what was there to fear?

However, this girl is really not smart enough in interpersonal communication, her original intention was to remember what Sheng Weiqiao said yesterday, "The county master has alienated me", and wanted to say good things about Huan Yehe to Sheng Weiqiao, but the last sentence "I will definitely not care about it anymore", but it made Sheng Weiqiao feel unhappy: I killed that Han Shaozhu of course and did not regret it at all! Huan Yehe is timid, lustful, inward-looking, and hypocritical will only command others to do spicy hands, and he will not even dare to kill a chicken, can I be blamed for this???

Because he still lives in the Hou Mansion, and he also knows that Xu Caikui doesn't mean to belittle herself, it's just that this girl is not good at talking, Sheng Weiqiao pressed her anger and said lightly: "It's nothing, anyway, I won't stay in Chang'an for a long time." With whom are you good...... After I return to Nanfeng County, after a long time, it will definitely fade. ”

Xu Caikui didn't notice her unhappiness, and said with a smile: "Isn't it that you haven't left yet?" We girls, we can go out happily and travel, it's only been these two years, after becoming a parent, even if there are many concubines, you don't need to preside over the feed, you have to serve your in-laws, but it's not as easy as it is now!"

While he was talking, the carriage had already arrived at the place.

Although Zheng Guogong's Mansion has received a group of congratulatory guests yesterday, it is still full of people today.

Their carriage queued for a long time before they drove in, not to mention, and finally arrived at the "Manjuanzhai" where Meng Biyun lived, but saw that it was already full of people inside and out, like a teahouse. The five of them really couldn't find a seat, so they could only sit on the plum blossom-style embroidery stool with red lacquer luodian carved landscape figures that the maids had temporarily moved, and then hold the tea made by the maids in their hands.

After waiting for a long time, Sheng Weiwei was about to fall asleep, but upstairs a woman in her thirties who looked like an aunt in charge, coughed a few times to attract everyone's attention, and said politely but helplessly: "The kindness of the young ladies, the fourteenth miss of my family understands it, but the fourteenth miss only came back from the palace yesterday, and she has only rested for one night, and her spirit is inevitably a little weak, but it is inconvenient to go downstairs in person to thank you......"

She spoke euphemistically for a long time, which probably meant that Meng Biyun was tired, tired, and sleepy...... In short, this quasi-successor doesn't plan to go downstairs to be polite to everyone, so Zheng Guogong's Mansion can only help prepare a little water and wine, please move to Guichun Garden, and leave after eating and drinking!

Although she has long known Meng Biyun's sex, after all, she is the one who has just taken over the will of the successor, and the crowd can't help but be a little speechless: Meng Biyun used to be indifferent to things, and she can still say that she is this withdrawn character, and now she has become the quasi-successor of the Ming Road, and she is still doing this, is she not afraid of being talked about?

However, when I thought of the situation in the harem at this time, everyone was relieved: the future of this person mainly depends on the fact that the Meng family can fight against the Gaomi King, no matter how good her reputation is, how smooth she is, and how she treats people like a spring breeze, if Meng loses, she will definitely not end well;

On the other hand, if the Meng family wins, Meng Biyun is sure that she is the queen mother, even if the Meng family's voice power is not as good as the current Meng queen mother, it is impossible for the Meng family to worry about some trivial things.

Therefore, Meng Biyun was too lazy to go downstairs to congratulate the guests at this time, whether it was the people who came to congratulate or the Meng family, they had no choice but to go with her.

Xu Caikui saw that the people around him were talking about it, and discussed with Sheng Weiqiao in a low voice: "Shall we stay and have a drink?"

"Still don't want it, right?" Sheng Weiqiao looked around and whispered, "Our relationship with the Zheng Guogong Mansion was not very close to each other, but we only came here today for the sake of face, and we have the opportunity to leave in advance, so why stay for a long time? ”

Xu Caikui was too lazy to stay, so the two of them decided, so they went to find the aunt in charge, and casually found a reason to leave, the aunt in charge was rude in front of Meng Biyun herself, and naturally she would not have a cold face for the guests who asked to leave early, but also apologized for it.

Early in the morning of this day, Ning Weihou Mansion got up and down together, Nan personally urged the people below to sprinkle and sweep inside and outside, and ordered the kitchen to kill chickens and cook meat, stew bird's nest, ginseng soup and other nourishing things, and prepare to welcome the return of Sheng Sleeping Crane and Xu Baomo.

Seeing that the stews were all double, Sheng Weiqiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that it seemed that he had been worried too much before, the Xu family could be a male heir to Xu Baomo, no matter how powerful the Nan family and Xu Caikui said, at most it was just talking, how could it really be what he did?

Thinking so, she didn't find an excuse to hide back in the sacrificial red pavilion, but waited with Nan's mother and daughter in the back hall.

…… Originally, Gongsun Yingjiang had the idea of currying favor with Sheng Sleeping Crane, and suggested to her to pick up people at the gate of the Gongyuan. But he was stopped by the Nan family, the reason is that there must be a lot of family members who went to pick up people at the gate of the Gongyuan today, so many people are crowded around, maybe Sheng Sleeping Crane and Xu Baomo are back, and they are still looking for someone there!

And the Gongyuan is also in the south of the city, not far from the Ningwei Hou Mansion, just send a strong family to set a carriage to go, there is no need to let the delicate girls work hard this time, Nan squinted, and said with special experience: "This male heir, just can't get used to it!"

When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he suddenly felt a little worried about Xu Baomo......

In this way, the group of them chatted in the back hall, waiting for the two candidates to come back and ask for details.

Although the examination was specially selected in February at the beginning of spring, when the weather was still cold, the food brought in was not easy to spoil, and it was not the season when epidemics were common, but the nine-day examination was a heavy burden on the candidates' energy and physical strength in a narrow room.

Many candidates who are physically weak will even faint at the end of the strong end.

However, Sheng Sleeping Crane and Xu Baomo are both people who are both civil and military, and have strong physiques, so naturally this will not be the case.

However, after answering the question for nine consecutive days, there was no place to freshen up in the room, so after a while, the two people who crossed the threshold one after the other, although they still looked bright-eyed, their steps were also steady, and their faces were more or less haggard.

Without waiting for Sheng Weiqiao, Xu Caikui and other juniors to speak, Nan took the lead in throwing down the melon seeds that he was snorting, and said with a smile: "You are back! Look at this tired look, don't gossip yet, and go to the small flower hall to eat quickly, and go to the bathroom to freshen up, if you still support it, come and tell us about it!"

Sheng Weiqiao felt that these words were very considerate and thoughtful, although Sheng Sleeping Crane and Xu Baomo must have used some food mats brought by the family in the carriage back, but the family can bring a limited amount after all, and besides, the road from the Gongyuan to the Ningwei Hou Mansion is short, and the two of them can't eat much.

It's time to have a good meal and freshen up and relieve fatigue, rather than immediately asking how you're doing.

It's just that......

She dazzled her eyes but saw that Xu Caikui's face was different, and she seemed to be a little unbearable to glance at Xu Baomo......

"Eat, shower and change, and talk again...... Is there no problem?" Sheng Weiqiao was puzzled, "Is my aunt planning to beat Xu Baomo when he comes to talk?"

Why did Xu Caikui look at Xu Baomo's gaze so full of sympathy?

Is there a routine in this that you don't know?

Sheng Weiqiao thought about it and decided to wait and see what happened.
