Chapter 5 Gongsun Yingdun's abnormality
The incident of falling into the water was certainly thrilling for the brother and sister, and they really went on a trip at the moment of life and death, but because they didn't tell anyone else after getting on the boat - Sheng Sleeping Crane was angry and didn't want to speak; Sheng Weiqiao was full of kindness, considering that "although the sleeping crane bragged, for the sake of brother and sister love, I still don't want to pierce him, lest he can't get off the stage", and didn't say much.

So the crowd didn't take it to heart.
It was Sheng Weiqiao's two maids, Lu Jin and Lu Qi, who got up and looked at it uneasily, and saw that after she drank the ginger soup and bathed and changed her clothes, she was full of energy, her face was ruddy, and she was full of energy so that the maid wanted to express her concern and couldn't start with a healthy look, so she lay back and waited for the island.
But despite this, when he arrived at Tortoiseshell Island, Sheng Sleeping Crane exchanged a few words with Gongsun Shu, who came to the dock to greet him, and after walking to the house and taking a seat, he still pulled Sheng Weiqiao and asked the doctor on the island to take the pulse: "The girl's body is delicate, don't accumulate cold and don't know it." ”
Fortunately, the result of the doctor's pulse was safe: "Miss Sheng is all right, and she has not accumulated cold in her body." ”
Since he went to the island, he has not left Sheng Weiqiao's side, for fear that he will be dragged over by Gongsun Shu to investigate the graveyard after being alone, and the shame of the meeting - Gongsun Yingjiang saw this, and hurriedly said: "Then I will take my aunt down to rest?"
Gongsun Shu saw his daughter's thoughts, and immediately frowned, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but saw Sheng Sleeping Crane touch Sheng Weiqiao's head, and said with a smile: "It's okay for you to go and put down the cage, big brother, I have something to discuss with you!"
After a few turns of thought, Gongsun Shu glared at Gongsun Yingjiang before he said, "Since that's the case, then you can go!"
The voice fell, and Gongsun Yingdun, who had been silent next to him, suddenly spoke: "My sister hasn't been back for two years, and I don't know if the path on the island has changed, why don't I send my sister and aunt to the place where they are settled?"
Before he said this, Gongsun Shu and Sheng Sleeping Crane frowned, not that they didn't want to send someone to lead the way for the two girls, but Gongsun Yingdun was already fourteen years old, and he was officially established as the young sea lord last year, no matter his age or status, he was not a child anymore - Gongsun Shu was the lord of Tortoiseshell Island; even if Sheng Sleeping Crane recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, he no longer belonged to the members of the Gongsun clan in terms of name, but the long-term relationship between the Sheng family and the Gongsun family was destined to Sheng Sleeping Crane still had a considerable say on the issue of tortoiseshell island.
Such two elders want to speak, Gongsun Yingdun doesn't want to learn to pour tea and water on the side, at least he has the impression of filial piety and progress, but wants to follow the two irrelevant female dependents, how can Gongsun Shu and Sheng Sleeping Crane be happy?
After all, although Gongsun Yingjiang is Gongsun Shu's biological daughter, she has a better life on the island and has no power at all; Sheng Weiqiao is Sheng Lanci's heart, but this Sheng family's pearl is never confused in major matters, and she will never rush into troubled waters without Sheng Lanci's instructions - especially since she is not familiar with Gongsun Yingdun at all!
Even if Gongsun Yingdun starts to please her now, the aunt and nephew who are not related by blood, how can the feelings accumulated in such a small time be so deep that Sheng Weiqiao embarrasses his twenty-four filial piety father for him?
Gongsun Yingdun's move, at least it is said that there is no distinction between primary and secondary, and at worst, it is not suitable for inheriting the Gongsun clan because it is not suitable for inheriting the Gongsun family!
"I know that your sister and brother have a good relationship, but Ying Jiang will not leave immediately when he returns to the island this time, he plans to stay for a few days. Seeing Gongsun Suan's angry face, Sheng Sleeping Crane squinted, and said, "So you don't have to rush down to talk, anyway, from tomorrow onwards, some of your sisters and brothers will talk - but my uncle and I, I haven't taken your homework for a long time, so you can stay, wait for me to finish talking to your father, and see if you have been lazy in the past two years?"
When Gongsun Yingdun heard this, his face was a little complicated, and he did not answer immediately.
"Something that can't be put on the table!" Gongsun Shu was already angry, and when he saw this, he immediately got up, "If you don't want to stay, get out!
This is a serious statement - Sheng Weiqiao and Gongsun Ying Jiang, who haven't had time to leave, changed their faces when they heard this, Sheng Sleeping Crane glanced at them, suggesting that they should avoid it first, and he stepped forward to stop Gongsun Shu, who had already begun to roll up his sleeves: "Big brother, calm down, Ying Dun and Ying Jiang grew up together, and they will meet again after a long absence, so they can't wait to say goodbye......
Sheng Weiqiao and Gongsun Yingjiang took the opportunity to tiptoe out of the door, and after walking out for a while, they looked at no one on the left and right, Sheng Weiqiao was muttering in his heart why Gongsun Yingdun was so blind, just on such an occasion, no matter how much he missed his sister, he couldn't be dead to Sheng Shenghe repeatedly mediated for him and refused to borrow the ladder to step down, right?
But he heard Gongsun Ying Jianghu suspicious: "It's really strange, the little uncle has now officially recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, can he still go back to the sea to be the lord of the sea in the future?
"Suspicion?" Sheng Weiqiao was startled and hurriedly asked, "Are you saying that Ying Dunfang insisted on sending us off, instead of staying there and listening to his father talking to his uncle, because he was suspicious of his little uncle?"
"I don't have the same mother as Ying Dun, and when our mother-in-law was here, the relationship has never been very good!" Gongsun Yingjiang frowned and said, "Later, our mother-in-law was gone, and the two of us were left among the brothers and sisters, so we moved around a little more frequently - but that's it, it's far worse than the relationship between my aunt and my aunt! Even if I didn't come back from the island the year before last, where would Ying Dun think that I didn't know the general idea? Ten out of ten used us as a cover to deliberately lose the face of the little uncle!" The little uncle has a life-saving grace for our brothers and sisters, even if he didn't toss us a lot in the early years, he won't say that he has held grudges for those things until now, so I think, isn't someone provoking it, Jiao Yingdun is worried that after the little uncle returns to the Sheng family, he will still have a close relationship with his father, which will be unfavorable to him, the young sea master, so he deliberately put on a face like this?"
Sheng Weiqiao felt that this was too ridiculous: "The reason why we came to the island this time is precisely because your little uncle is about to go to Chang'an - this trip is thousands of miles, and it is a question when he will return to the Sheng family, let alone come to the island to compete with Ying Dun for the position of sea lord!"
She remembered that the last time she came to Tortoiseshell Island, although Gongsun Yingdun was still young, he really didn't look like a stupid person.
Let's not say that Sheng Sleeping Crane, as the only male heir of Sheng Lanci and the future heir of the proper Sheng family, has no reason to let go of the rich man of the Wanguan family, and has to be willing to fall back to the sea to make a living;
In this case, who would be a precarious pirate leader, instead of running wholeheartedly on the glorious road of the imperial examination?!
- To say something unpleasant, change a person with no conscience, not to mention grabbing the position of sea lord with Gongsun Yingdun, and don't want to try to slaughter Tortoiseshell Island to cover up the stain of being a sea bandit!
So Sheng Weiqiao pondered for a moment and said, "I think this matter probably has nothing to do with the position of the sea lord, don't Ying Dun really miss you, right?" After all, even if you didn't have a very close relationship before, just like your little uncle just said, you grew up in a small piece, maybe after not seeing each other for so long, Ying Dun suddenly wants to talk to you in private?"
Gongsun Yingjiang was also unsure when he heard this, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Even so, he is too stupid, right? Although he is the only brother left in our past, I am a daughter and cannot threaten his status." Although my father has never been harsh on us children, he has never been as fond of us as aunts. Back then, our eldest brother was the eldest son of the Yuan Match, and he also started from the bottom, and he performed well again and again, and was unanimously recognized by the old people, and his mother's maiden family added fuel to the fire, so he became the young sea master! If Ying Dun really disappointed his father, the end would be very miserable - his father would never tolerate the existence of hidden dangers!"
The implication is that if Gongsun Yingdun loses the position of the young sea lord, the best outcome will be imprisoned, and even executed, so that he will not take advantage of Gongsun Shu's status as the de facto eldest son to plot misdeeds in the future.
Sheng Weiqiao was spoiled by his own father, and felt that Gongsun Shu's own father couldn't understand it - but when he thought that his second uncle Sheng Lansi was no better than his eldest son Sheng Weide, he was relieved, and only said: "You have to persuade him, the person who wants to inherit the family business is different from people like us who are idle all day long, and they can't be willful." ”
While speaking, they had already arrived at Gongsun Yingjiang's yard, which had naturally been cleaned a long time ago, and the flowers and plants inside and outside the wall had traces of new pruning, and a lot of flowers in bloom had been moved to add to the scenery.
After entering, but see that the courtyard paved with blue bricks is swept clean, the carved railings of the Zhu Zhu are all newly painted, and a few strings of wind chimes are hung under the corridor, swaying with the wind, jingling is pleasant.
A woman wearing a green onion green narrow-sleeved short shirt, covered with goose yellow embroidered iris half sleeves, and tied with a phoenix tail skirt seemed to hear the movement, and walked out of the main house with the maid's hand.
Seeing the aunt and nephew, he immediately smiled and greeted the court steps, and said attentively: "But the eldest lady and Miss Sheng face to face? This place was cleaned up two days ago, just wait for the two of you to see it in person now, if there is anything unsatisfactory, the concubine will let them change it!"
Sheng Weiqiao looked at her a few times, and saw that this woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a white and red goose egg face, trimmed eyebrows and handsome eyes, a spiritual snake bun, and a pair of jade pendants in her ears.
The most important thing is that she is obviously full of energy, and she still supports the maid in the few steps from the house down the courtyard, not for no reason: when this woman talks and walks, she intentionally or unintentionally uses her arms to protect her lower abdomen - she knows that ten out of ten are concubines of Gongsun Shu, and most of them are pregnant concubines.
"I'm sorry for you, I think everything is fine here. Sheng Weiqiao glanced at Gongsun Yingjiang, and saw that she obviously saw it, her face was a little unnatural, so she said half-round and half-chased, "There's nothing to change, just let our subordinates settle the luggage they brought." ”
The Yan slave was very eye-catching, and retired with interest: "The concubine thought that the two of them had worked hard all the way, so they got up early and let them stew a can of pheasant and hazelnut mushroom soup in the small kitchen. If you don't dislike it, you can use some relief later?"
Sheng Weiqiao thanked her lightly, and after she left, he ordered Lu Jin and others to go and put things in place, and he took Gongsun Yingjiang into the main house and sat down.
Before he sat down, Gongsun Ying Jiang sighed and said: "Fang Cai also said on the road that Ying Dun is not smarter, even if he has the advantage of being older, sooner or later it will not end well!
"Fang just said that the relationship with Ying Dun is like that, don't you worry about him now?" Sheng Weiqiao teased her, and then comforted, "This Yan family has not yet shown its pregnancy, even if it is really a male fetus, if you want to fight the idea of the position of the young sea lord, it will take several years." You go back and persuade Ying Dun, he is starting to be sensible now, where is it too late?"
After thinking about it, he said, "Besides, I see that Gongsun Haizhu attaches great importance to your little uncle, and your little uncle will have to travel far away after going back this time, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to come to Tortoiseshell Island again in the future." Most of the children of the Yan family can't see him at all, so they can't have much affection - it's your brothers and sisters who have been with him for many years. How can your little uncle not look at your brothers and sisters? Didn't he always round the scene for the two of you just now in front of the sea lord?"
"But Ying Dun doesn't know what is crazy, the little uncle's kindness is so obvious, he doesn't even know how to borrow the slope to get off the donkey!" Gongsun Yingjiang frowned and said, as if he suddenly thought of something, turned his head, and looked at Sheng Weiqiao with a strange expression:
Sheng Weiqiao, who was born in March, has officially held a ceremony, and the hairstyle that is often combed has also changed from a little girl's strong double snail to a more girlish style with a cloud bun, and a ruby beaded flower between the bun is bright and dripping, showing her green silk like ink, and her skin is brighter than snow.
There are a lot of eyebrows and eyes, and they are more and more exquisite: Cui Dai is bent like a moon; watery apricot eyes, pupils seem to be obsidian soaked in water, black and bright, and there seems to be a brilliant flow between Gu Pang; Qiong's nose is straight, cherry lips are pink, and there are some baby fat cheeks with dimples looming.
Because of his pampering and lack of anger, although Sheng Weiqiao has been walking around in front of Xuan Yu Feng in the past two years, his temperament still maintains the purity and peace of the twelve or thirteen years old.
It is like a famous flower living alone in a secluded valley, not touching the hustle and bustle of the world, not disturbed by the red dust, and the delicate and harmless bloom that is not familiar with the world, there is a kind of innocent beauty.
Seeing that Gongsun Ying Jiang had been staring at him, Sheng Weiqiao was slightly surprised: "Ying Jiang?"
"Auntie!" Gongsun Yingjiang waved his hand to let the personal maid temporarily retreat, leaned into her ear, and whispered a little nervous and worried, "Auntie, you said, he just ...... Did you suddenly fall in love with you at first sight, so you didn't want to go with us instead of staying with your father and uncle?!!"
".................." Sheng Weiqiao was silent for a moment, and said quietly, "In fact, it is also possible that it was you who fell in love with him at first sight, after all, there is a saying called the present world newspaper, how did you chase and intercept your little uncle in the first place, maybe it will be your turn to be chased and beaten by Ying Dun now?"
