When Ao Luanjing led the doctor into the cabin on the second floor with tears streaming down his face, on the third floor, Sheng Sleeping Crane, who was sitting on the edge of the couch, had been staring intently at Sheng Weiqiao in front of him for a while. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The girl was obviously sleeping soundly, although his gaze became more and more sharp, but he was still unconscious, his eyes were closed, his breathing was even, and he was lying on his back in the jade pillow brocade quilt.
It seems that there is something unhappy before falling asleep, so that the cherry-like little mouth purses slightly, and two or three strands of hair are slightly messy scattered on the lips, which makes the snow-skinned lips more and more snowy, and the black hair is like sandalwood.
In the darkest hours before dawn, the room with only a light for the night was dim and indistinct.
The sleeping crane's face was vaguely dim in this groggy gloom, but his eyes were still as bright as stars.
"When I saw this girl the year before last, I thought she was just a beautiful, squeamish and willful child. The familiar sound of the waves came from the empty porthole, which made his eyes have a moment of trance, "I don't want to be in the same room with her in just two years, even if she falls asleep and doesn't know that I'm here, I can't think of her as a little girl anymore." ”
In fact, Sheng Weiqiao was also thirteen the year before last, which belongs to the age when you can talk about marriage.
But at that time, Sheng Sleeping Crane really didn't have any thoughts about her - she didn't have the idea to drag her out of the quilt in the middle of the night, and put it on her with her own hands.
After all, he came to be an elder brother to others, not to seduce others and attract others to the pearl of their palms.
I didn't think that this idea persisted for two years, no, it should be that two years didn't arrive, so he unilaterally tore up the agreement with Sheng Lanci and thought about this girl - before he held the idea that he was concentrating on his business and had too little experience in Fengyue, thinking that this sentiment was not worth mentioning.
Later, after Mrs. Sheng told Xu Zijing about it, he was surprised that he didn't feel Sheng Weiqiao's call at all, he knew that the problem was big, but after a moment of impetuousness, he could still calm down and think about countermeasures.
But just now, even though he knew that Sheng Weiqiao was eighty percent of the reason why he wanted to marry into the Xu family in order to intimidate Xu Baomo, when he heard the phrase "quasi-husband", he still couldn't control his gaffe - it is estimated that the people present at the time thought that he had broken the tea bowl inadvertently.
But in fact, he deliberately hit the tea bowl on the ground.
This is not because he used this method to break the confrontation between Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Baomo, but because the moment he heard the phrase "quasi-husband", he instinctively hit Xu Baomo with the tea bowl in his hand as a hidden weapon!
Fortunately, after making a move, he reacted quickly and knocked the tea bowl down again, so that he could hide it!
…… After that, he asked Sheng Weiqiao to go first, and he comforted Xu Baomo a few words below, so why not give himself some time to relax?
But even if he calmed down after talking to Xu Baomo for a moment, he finally didn't hold back, chased up the stairs, and tried to get a promise from Sheng Weiqiao's mouth: she was just talking, and she didn't plan to marry into the Xu family because of this.
It's a pity that Sheng Weiqiao didn't promise not to say it, and outside the words, there was also the meaning of marrying into the Xu family - Sheng Sleeping Crane knew in his heart, this was mostly because of his own questioning, which caused this girl's rebellious feelings, the more she persuaded her not to marry Xu Baomo, she was so angry that she wanted to marry!
The correct thing to do is to wait for a day or two, Sheng Weiqiao's anger is gone, and then slowly talk about it, it is estimated that it will only start at that time, and Sheng Weiqiao himself will dislike Xu Baomo. After all, since she understood Xu Baomo's nature the year before last, this girl has no good impression of Xu Baomo, otherwise she wouldn't have heard Ao Luanjing say that Xu Baomo was rude, and immediately believed it.
This shows that Sheng Weiqiao is very distrustful of Xu Baomo.
So how could she take her life because of a moment of anger?
It's one thing to know, it's another thing to act.
After Sheng Sleeping Crane returned to the room, he cleaned up and settled, lay on the couch, tossed and turned, but couldn't sleep.
The more he couldn't sleep, the more he wanted to ask Sheng Weiqiao for clarification, and he had to promise that she would not marry Xu Baomo in person to rest assured - even if he knew that he really did this, it would only cause Sheng Weiqiao to redouble his disgust and doubts, and even peek into his true thoughts and completely break with him.
However, Sheng Sleeping Crane, who has always prided himself on being good at controlling his emotions, couldn't hold back the jealousy and panic in his heart, and after thinking about it, he finally got up and came up quietly.
When he came up, he found that Sheng Weiqiao had fallen asleep, and he didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or be disappointed?
This mind will be ups and downs, as if in a dream, I don't know how long it took, he felt a slight pain in his fingertips, woke up, but saw that he didn't know when he reached out and touched the girl's lips, this action made the girl subconsciously bite his thumb, but Xu was still in the dream, the bite was not heavy, Sheng Sleeping Crane used a little force, and he struggled.
Holding his thumb in front of him, looking at the shallow tooth marks, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he only felt that his mood at the moment was indescribably strange: neither happy nor unhappy......
He finally glanced at the already faint sky outside, got up, and left quietly.
Soon after Sheng Sleeping Crane returned to his room, the east gradually turned white, and the movement of getting up gradually came from the ship.
Since last night's incident was not officially over, thinking that he would definitely not be able to get up late today, he simply didn't sleep, and directly opened the door to ask someone to serve and freshen up.
As soon as it was cleaned up, the next person withdrew with the silver basin, but Sheng Weiqiao actually came-the girl obviously got up urgently, and the dressing up was very simple, in order to save trouble, she didn't even wear the usual Suiyun bun, but the most double screw bun two years ago.
The porcelain-like skin is not powdered, and when you look at the sunlight shining into the cabin at this moment, it has a kind of crystal clear, and the beauty is full of vitality.
"Good girl, why did you come down here for your brother so early?" After all, I just went to someone's tent for a long time, and took advantage of it, although Sheng Sleeping Crane felt a little aggrieved that he couldn't let Sheng Weiqiao personally promise not to marry into the Xu family when he came down from the third floor, but now that Sheng Weiqiao came to the second floor in person, he still couldn't help but feel weak, so he pretended to be calm and invited her to sit down and serve tea, and cautiously tried - could it be that she was actually awake just now, or that although she was not awake, she was conscious, and this is to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt?
Fortunately, Sheng Weiqiao sighed when he heard this, but said: "It's not for last night's incident? Although Cousin Ao took the Ao Luan mirror away last night, this matter is not completely over in the final analysis, and there will be a follow-up after all." ”
Sheng Sleeping Crane let out a "hmm", continued to guess her intentions, and said, "What do you mean?"
"Ao Luanjing has nothing to say, she used to say that she was different from what she said, but now it seems that it is simply unreasonable. Sheng Weiqiao frowned and said, "What I care about is Cousin Ao, judging from his actions last night, I don't know what Ao Luanjing did in private, and he is also a reasonable person." I'm thinking, he has such a temper, I'm afraid that while he will come over with Ao Luanjing to make amends, he will definitely refuse to continue to stay on our ship, saying that he will quit if he can't get the next ferry!"
"Resignation ......" Sheng Sleeping Crane's eyes flashed, and his eyes were lowered to hide the gloom for a moment - what happened last night, he actually guessed on the spot, so he also felt that Ao Luan Xiaowei was unlucky, a good trip, he could have happily enhanced his experience, but he had such a backward sister.
But now after listening to Sheng Weiqiao say the word "care", why do you think that Ao Luanxiao's godsister deserves to be cheated if she is not strict?
At this moment, he groaned slightly, and suddenly said, "Good girl, are you probably worried that the brothers and sisters of the Ao family will leave the ship and return to Nanfeng County now, what kind of discussion will be caused and it will be unfavorable to them?"
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao nodding, he immediately said, "Actually, this is very easy to solve, let's just say that Miss Ao is not used to life at sea, and she is sick and can't stay on the ship." I am afraid that something will happen to someone who is not familiar with life in a foreign place, and Brother Wei and Brother Xu Shi are going to Chang'an to take the exam, so it is impossible for her to slow down the trip. In this way, is there any other way than to let their brothers and sisters get off the boat and slowly return to Nanfeng County by themselves?"
"If it spreads, others will only say that Miss Ao is a girl, and she is also delicate, so how can she talk about and laugh at them?"
It's really hehe, last night, a Sheng Weiqiao "just married you" Xu Baomo, has made Sheng Sleeping Crane impetuous, almost killed by mistake;
At the moment, he spared no effort to persuade him, "If you continue to keep them on the ship, you have no problem with my brother." I don't care if I want to be so generous! But you think, last night's incident didn't just involve you, and Brother Xu Shi was the first to bear the brunt! He had a big bruise on his shoulder, and he didn't know if it would completely subside before he arrived in Chang'an! Whether he could or not, anyway, after seeing Ning Weihou and his wife this time, I was afraid that the first thing our brothers and sisters would do was to ask for the guilt! After all, he had an accident on our boat. ”
"You said that our brothers and sisters are still so embarrassed, but when the time comes, how will the brothers and sisters of the Ao family deal with themselves?"
"After all, Brother Xu is the only son of Ning Weihou and his wife, and he has been left in Cangwu County all the year round to accompany Old Marquis Xu and Old Lady Xiahou. I haven't seen Ning Weihou and his wife for more than ten years--change places, you said that if you have been separated from your father and mother for more than ten years, and finally meet each other at this time, your father and mother will find that you have injuries on your body, even if it is an accident, even if it is an accidental injury after the deceased, do you think they will not be angry or distressed?"
"Especially Brother Xu's injury, I asked later, not only was it not an accident, but Miss Ao deliberately designed it!"
"At that time, if Ning Weihou and his wife's love for their son attack, how embarrassing will it be to interrogate Miss Ao in public?"
"How are you going to get down?"
"Wouldn't this make the Ao brothers and sisters even more embarrassed!"
Sheng Shenghe concluded, "So not only can we not continue to keep them, but we also have to take the initiative to persuade them to get off the boat, otherwise in the current situation, if we really go to Chang'an, maybe they think that we are deliberately forcing them to meet Ning Weihou and his wife!"
Speaking of this, he took a sip of the tea bowl, seemingly quietly, but in fact anxiously observing Sheng Weiqiao's expression, hoping that she could be coaxed by himself and nodded.
Who knew that Sheng Weiqiao listened to it, and she didn't make a sound for a long time, and after a while, she raised her eyes and looked at Sheng Sleeping Crane thoughtfully-Sheng Sleeping Crane felt creepy, so she opened her mouth slowly, but what she said was not a statement on the issue of the Ao family's brothers and sisters staying, but: "I remember that my brother mentioned Ao Luan Mirror last night, and everyone before and after him was a 'cousin', why did he come over at night and suddenly changed to 'Miss'?"
