Chapter 61: Hesitant Parents
When Le's was full of hope, in the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Lanci vetoed his wife's proposal: "Although Dad intends to match the Xu family boy with the good girl, as long as the good girl doesn't like the kid, Dad will never force the good girl to marry the Xu family."

"As for Shi'er, I really can't see what kind of affection the obedient girl has for him?"
"The eldest sister has always been good to the rules, although she has always been good to the good girl, but can the niece and daughter-in-law be the same?
"And the obedient girl is spoiled by us, how can you be the kind of virtuous person who gets up to serve her mother-in-law and husband on the fourth watch?"
"At that time, the eldest sister will look uncomfortable, we know that we are distressed, and we will ruin the relationship of relatives!"
Although Feng Shi has always been able to hold her husband, but in the matter, she still trusts her husband's judgment very much, and when she heard this, her face changed slightly: "I originally thought that this was a good family matter, and I almost agreed to it! ”
Sheng Lanci said thoughtfully: "If you refuse, I'll go and tell my eldest sister and mother-in-law, so as not to embarrass you." ”
"It's the same for whoever says it, it's impossible for us to take the things of our life as favors, not to mention that my mother and my eldest sister are reasonable people, and we will never stop interacting because of our refusal. Feng Shi sighed and frowned, "However, we should look for a good marriage!"
She said with a straight face, "We are all such a child, and she is a person who has no heart, and I am absolutely not at ease about marrying her far away! In this way, her husband can only be chosen in the county! Nanfeng County is so big, how many boys can be the same age as the good girl? Counting the right people, there are so many people back and forth! Not to mention the good looks, we can't pick a crooked melon and cracked dates for her, right? Then consider the character, whether the family is kind, and whether the ...... is a concubine."
Feng's face was ugly, "I'm afraid this person can be counted on one hand!"
If you don't hurry up and settle down the person, what if the outstanding one is married now, what if Sheng Weiqiao is about to leave the cabinet in two years?
Sheng Lanci also felt a lot of headaches about this problem, in his opinion, no one in Nanfeng County was worthy of being his son-in-law - after all, even after Xu Baomo, a world friend with a perfect background, talent, and conduct, Sheng Lanci didn't think much of it - but like Feng, he was reluctant to marry his daughter far away.
And Nanfeng County is far away from Chang'an, and the truly outstanding talents, especially the aspiring young talents, who are willing to stay here for a long time?
Therefore, if the couple wants to keep their daughter by their side all the time, the requirements for the son-in-law's talent and ambition must not be too high.
"Let's get this matter back first!" Sheng Lanci pondered for a long time, and finally sighed, "As for the marriage of the obedient girl...... It's not so urgent that we need to solve it immediately, so let's go back and discuss it?"
The couple had just decided on the matter, and Mrs. Zhan's people arrived.
After listening to the person sent by Mrs. Zhan to tell the inside story, Sheng Lanci and his wife really couldn't cry or laugh, and they unanimously said that they needed to consider Le's proposal.
After the visitor retired, Feng Shi hurriedly looked at her husband: "Shi'er is not suitable for the obedient girl, what do you think of Zhiyi?"
"The good thing about this kid is that we watched him grow up, and we know that he is an honest and loyal character, even if he doesn't love the good girl to the bones, under normal circumstances, he will not treat the good girl badly. Sheng Lanci frowned, and said after a while, "However, I'll tell you the truth: this kid is really too mediocre, and I always feel that it is too wronged to give him the good girl!"
"If he is a talented person, maybe he will enter the Hanlin Academy like you did back then, and then he can still stay in Nanfeng County and see us day and night?" Feng Shi thought very openly, she only asked her son-in-law to be good to her daughter, but she didn't care if her son-in-law was capable—anyway, her daughter's dowry must be very rich, even if her son-in-law achieved nothing in his life, her daughter would be indispensable for fine clothes and food.
Sheng Lanci's face changed for a moment, and finally said: "Let's talk about it in two days! It's related to a good girl's life, don't ignore it!"
Feng knew that her husband was a role model for his peers when he was young, and it can be said that he grew up listening to praise and envy all the way, although because the city government was deep and his face was not obvious, he had a sense of arrogance in his heart. Even if he hopes that his daughter can marry him, he still has an instinctive resistance to accepting a mediocre son-in-law. So when things come to an end, it is inevitable to hesitate.
She pondered for a while, didn't say anything, but thought in her heart: "Nanfeng County, if you want to talk about the people with heads and faces, it is none other than Feng, Xuanyu and my Sheng family, my sister is involved in a child, and she doesn't want to be a good daughter-in-law, she doesn't want to be wronged, if this son-in-law doesn't choose from the Feng family, who else can he go to?"
But when she was about to say this, Sheng Lanci had deliberately changed the topic: "By the way, what about the girl?
His obedient woman is now in the second room - because the relationship between the Feng family and the Bai family is not very good, Sheng Weiqiao rarely came to the second room before, and this time he came here on purpose, naturally to visit Sheng Weirao.
Since Sheng Weirao returned home, she has been living in a simple house, and has never stepped out of the "Huafeilou" where she lives.
Although such a move was expected, Sheng Weiqiao was worried that this cousin would not go out and would be sick, so he specially watched some witty stories and led Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiwei to go, intending to accompany her to relieve her boredom.
However, when he entered the door of the second room, he was stopped on the corridor by the Bai family with a smile, and said slowly: "Yo! Look who is coming? Isn't this the second miss of our family's palm? The second miss is not resting in the big room, nor does she go to the garden to enjoy the flowers and tease the birds, what are you doing here in our place?"
Before she wanted to put it aside, Sheng Weiqiao had already blocked her back unceremoniously, but because of Sheng Weirao, she felt a little sorry for the Bai family, so she pursed her lips, endured the grievances, and saluted: "Second aunt, I'm here to see the third sister!"
"Don't shout anything 'third sister'!" Bai Shi sneered when he heard this, reached out and stroked his smooth sideburns, shook the brocade handkerchief, and said sharply, "If it weren't for the fact that she is your 'third sister', she wouldn't have suffered those crimes!" It can be seen that being your seventh sister is beneficial......
Speaking of this, Sheng Weiwei, who was white-eyed and didn't know why, squinted at Gongsun Yingjiang, who lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his clothes, "Being your niece and daughter is also promising!!!
Sheng Weiqiao is young after all, and he has always been pampered, how can he stand such a cynicism from the Bai family? For a while, tears kept rolling in his eyes, and he suddenly thought in his heart: "Why should I be so angry?!" It was the Han family themselves who recognized the third sister as mine, and it was not the third sister I asked them to harm!! not to mention that as my father said, if it wasn't for the second aunt's own intention of clinging to Brother Xu, and provoking her grandmother to stuff Xiao Qiao into the team, how could Xiao Qiao and the third sister be both alone?! The second aunt herself is also at fault, but she will be angry at me, which is simply unreasonable!!"
I couldn't bear it for a while, "The third sister is the biological flesh and blood of the second aunt, she is already like that, if I don't let the second aunt go, how sad should their mother and daughter be when I look back?"
After thinking about it, Sheng Weiqiao didn't argue with the Bai family in the end, but he didn't ask to visit Sheng Weirao anymore, only blinked the tears on his long eyelashes, and said to Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiwei with a slight choked voice: "Forget it, since the second aunt doesn't want us to disturb the third ...... Excuse me, sister, let's go!"
Gongsun Yingjiang didn't see her red eyes, and responded very well-behaved.
Although Sheng Weiwei didn't make a sound, she glared at Bai Shi fiercely before she kept up with her sister's footsteps.
After the group left the second room, Sheng Weiqiao was about to speak to his sister and niece with a strong spirit, but Sheng Weiwei said first: "Second sister, I have to go back first when I think of something, I won't play with you today!"
"Then you go, walk slowly on the road, don't fall and touch!" Sheng Weiqiao was a little upset at the moment, and he didn't think much about it when he heard the words, so he casually told a few words, and watched his cousin lead the maid away.
Next, she sent Gongsun Yingjiang back to the Qiongbao Pavilion, and she returned to Zhu Huan's small building - this small building is full of Feng's favorite chrysanthemums inside and out, which is named "Zhu Huan [Note]", and there are no buds in this season, so it looks a light blue and dark green.
Xu was afraid that her daughter would not have much scenery to see outside of autumn, so two years ago, Sheng Lanci deliberately dug a small pond in the backyard, planted water lilies in the pond, and set wisteria by the pool. At this time, the water lilies are beginning to bloom, but the wisteria has already appeared in a state of flowers, and many flowers and stamens are blown off the surface of the pond by the smoked wind, attracting koi carp to probe, chase and devour, and the small courtyard has a kind of liveliness.
Sheng Weiqiao waved back left and right, and slowly paced to the side of the pool, leaning on the railing of the white marble masonry, looking at the noisy pool, tears flowed down unconsciously: If Xiao Qiao and Weirao hadn't encountered those things, everyone should feed the fish and flowers in the garden together, chase and play, right?
Recalling the past sisters, those carefree days, Sheng Weiqiao burst into tears more and more!
Tears dripped down the surface of the pool, splashing and blurring the reflection in the water.
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know how long she had been crying, and when Chi Mian finally regained her calm, she was stunned to find that in the reflection in front of her, there was a figure beside her at some point.
Under the sword eyebrows that fly into the sideburns, a pair of eyes are as bright as stars, and the slightly pale face looks at the spots of light leaking between the wisteria branches and leaves, and there is a kind of crystal flawless that is almost transparent.
Sensing that Sheng Weiqiao had discovered that he had discovered that his thin lips that were originally pursed lightly immediately bent up slightly, the beautiful but cold expression that was still a moment ago turned into gentle and amiable in an instant, and said in a brisk tone: "Why doesn't my sister cry?"
"Why did you come here?" Sheng Weiqiao turned his head sideways very unexpectedly, wiped his face with a handkerchief in a little panic, turned around, and said in a dumb voice, "Is there something wrong?"
"Ying Jiang told me that you don't seem to be in a good mood, she doesn't dare to ask, let me come and see you. Sheng Sleeping Crane looked her up and down with a smile, and said casually, "Actually, I don't need to ask me to know what's going on - went to the second room and touched the nail?"
"No!" Sheng Weiqiao was slightly choked by his tone, and then said a little angrily, "Do you have anything else?"
After the trip to Tortoiseshell Island, she no longer had any thoughts about Sheng Sleeping Crane, and even sympathized with what happened to the other party when he was a child, but after all, the two brothers and sisters had never gotten along much, and they couldn't talk about much affection. Sensing that Sheng Sleeping Crane's attitude seemed to be mocking, Sheng Weiqiao, who was already depressed, was immediately unhappy, and casually issued an eviction order.
"Good girl, do you know what the second aunt did to treat you like that?" Sheng Sleeping Crane heard this, smiled, reached out and touched her head-Sheng Weiqiao wanted to dodge, but his movements were not as agile as him, and he rubbed two handfuls on the double screw bun to avoid it, and couldn't help arranging his sideburns angrily, glaring at him: "I'm not a child anymore, what do you keep doing this?"
Sheng Sleeping Hequan didn't hear it, and continued the topic with a smile: "Second uncle has always liked the new and hated the old, this time if it wasn't for grandmother letting people go your way and asking her father to mediate, the second aunt might have left the court! Even if she is not a person who remembers her kindness, but who in the entire Sheng family does not know your favor? Not only does she not welcome you at all, but she shows you a look everywhere - don't you think it's strange?"
"......" Sheng Weiqiao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "It's very strange!"
She looked up at the sleeping crane and wondered, "Do you know why?"
Note: One of the aliases of chrysanthemums is Zhu Huan.
