Chapter Fifty-Six: Wandering on the Way Out

"You can't wait to be Gaomen's son-in-law!" Sheng Weiqiao was blushing by what he said, and slapped the case angrily, "Moreover, I want to be the champion sister, but you are not even a huiyuan now, this will be just the two of us, you praise this Haikou is also returned.

As he spoke, he stood up, and from the stack of classics on the lacquered Jin Fushou long case, he casually pulled out a copy and slapped it in front of Sheng Sleeping Crane, "Read the book well, don't be lazy!"

When it was over, he left with a hum. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

She didn't come to Sheng Sleeping Crane again after she left, and she didn't know if she was really angry or afraid that Sheng Sleeping Crane would say something like "can't wait to get married" again, in short, the two would meet again on the day of departure - in the middle of this, Sheng Weiqiao took Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiwei together, went to the second room together, visited and resigned, and did not call Sheng Sleeping Crane.

In front of Sheng Weirao and others, they only said that Sheng Sleeping Crane was in the midst of intense revision in order to prepare for the spring festival, and he really couldn't get away. Because Mrs. Ming is bent on marrying Sheng Lansi a virtuous and capable step-room who can also persuade her husband to learn well, she has not found a suitable candidate in the past two years, and there is no serious hostess in the second room now, and Sheng Lansi herself is taking Sheng Weide to "inspect the industry" outside, and the temporary head of the house is Sheng Weirao.

This girl was a little spicy earlier, but since the big changes, especially after Bai's death, she has suddenly become sensible.

Naturally, he won't blame anything at this moment, but persuaded Sheng Weiqiao not to worry: "The title of the eldest brother's gold list is a top priority, let me say something snobbish: even if our second room is separated now, in the end the bones are broken and the tendons are connected, if the eldest brother is in high school, we will have to be naked!

Sheng Weiqiao was on the list of going to Chang'an because Ao Luanjing and Sheng Weiwei were both on the list, and she originally wanted to invite Sheng Weirao to accompany her. But firstly, the day of their departure was a few days earlier than the official departure of the second room, and secondly, Sheng Weirao was also relieved that she could not leave the second room and did not want to travel far.

So the sisters talked and looked at the other people in the second room, Sheng Weirao promised to bring them gifts when she came back and told them the details of the trip to Chang'an, and then left.

…… On the day of departure, more than a dozen carriages lined up outside the gate, among which there were only two seats, one of which was still for the maid.

Sheng Weiqiao, Sheng Weiwei, Gongsun Yingjiang and Ao Luanjing sat in a car, while the men rode horses, and the rest of the carriages were full of luggage.

Ao Luanjing knew that the Sheng family was rich early on, but because he had only been here twice, he felt that he was particularly particular about food and clothing, and the garden at home was large, and there were many rare birds and beasts in it, so the intuitive feeling was not profound.

After getting into the car, he couldn't help but ask: "There are so many carriages in the back, are there too many things to bring?"

When the Sheng and Xu families agreed to go with the Ao family brothers and sisters before, the old lady Sheng once proposed that they didn't have to hurry back to the Ao family to pack their things, and if they needed anything, they would let the Sheng Mansion prepare a copy for them, so that they could run back and forth.

However, the old lady Ao refused, and Ao Luanjing refused to take advantage of the Sheng family - and then their brother and sister went back to Ao's house and hurriedly packed up their things for two days, and the luggage of the brothers and sisters added up to only three boxes, half of which were Ao Luanxiao's books and pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and these were still too worried by Di's family, what should I do if I can't bring them with me then?

Now seeing that there are so many things in Sheng Xu's family, even if they have not opened the box for comparison, they all feel shabby, Ao Luanjing's mood can't help but be a little complicated, "I heard that sometimes the wind and waves on the sea are very big, and there are too many things...... Not really, right?"

"Sister, don't worry, we're on a boat, it's big!" Sheng Weiqiao didn't like to take her with her very much, but Old Lady Sheng nodded, she couldn't refute it, now that everyone is sitting in a carriage, there is no need to tear your face, after all, you have to go all the way together. Even when they went to Chang'an, Ning Weihou and his wife invited the younger generations of the Sheng family to live in the Hou Mansion, and it was impossible to throw the Ao family brothers and sisters on the street.

If it is stiff now, the next days will inevitably be embarrassing.

So this will politely answer her, "And this carriage is only loaded with some personal things, serious and large items have already been sent to the ship in advance - Daddy specially allocated the most reliable building ship for us to use, not to carry goods, just our little thing, I am afraid that the ballast stone will have to be put separately, so even if there is wind and waves, there is no need to worry!"

Sheng Weiwei also said like a little adult: "Listen to the uncle, I have to take a boat for a long time to go to Chang'an! If I don't bring more things, what can I do on the road? After so many years, there must be a lot of things that are lacking. Let's go to so many people this time, don't bring all the things we want to use at home, and when we get to the place, I'm afraid that we won't be able to buy too many to take advantage of for a while!"

Ao Luanjing, like Sheng Weiqiao, although she is a native of Nanfeng County, but because she was raised in a deep boudoir, she didn't know much about the sea, and she hadn't even seen a real building ship.

She stopped talking, Sheng Weiqiao didn't have any interest in stirring up the topic because she was there, so she and Gongsun Yingjiang leaned on the car together, closed their eyes and recuperated.

But Sheng Weiwei was young, and for the first time in her life, she was so excited that she couldn't do it, but she didn't quiet down because of the silence in the car, but made a fuss: from time to time she lay on the window and looked out, lifted the curtain and looked out, and asked the coachman every once in a while: "Are you on the dock?"

After the coachman replied a few times in a good manner, Sheng Weiqiao became impatient, put down the curtain of the car, dragged her back, and reprimanded: "I haven't even heard the sound of the waves, where can I get to the dock?"

Sheng Weiwei was pouted by her training-Sheng Weiqiao softened her heart when she saw this, and took out pine nut lily cake from the side and gave her to eat: "I saw that you were happy this morning and didn't eat much, don't get hungry and get sick for a while...... Let's have some dim sum mats first, and we'll be at the dock in the afternoon, and then it's time for them to make a seafood feast!"

"I want it too!" Gongsun Ying Jiang opened his eyes when he heard the sound, stretched out his hand and said, "Are there any other pastries in it?"

Sheng Weiqiao took another red silk pie and told her: "Don't eat too much, you will definitely be able to get on the boat around noon, and the cook there will definitely prepare a luncheon." If you eat too much now, you won't be able to eat anymore!"

Afraid of snubbing Ao Luanjing, he specially handed her the plate with pastries, "Sister also try it?"

Ao Luanjing absentmindedly took a piece and took a bite, this pine nut lily cake is made of plum pork, egg yolk and pine nuts, similar to lilies, crispy and palatable [Note], and has a certain beauty effect, young girls generally like it, and she is no exception.

But this can eat but feel that it is difficult to swallow - before the old lady Ao said that the Ao family is not as good as the Sheng family, Sheng Weiqiao can go north to Chang'an to choose a son-in-law, but Ao Luanjing may not have this qualification.

At that time, Ao Luanjing brought up the Shu sisters as an example, and she didn't think so, she felt that although her family was not as rich as the Sheng family, they were in the same county, and the gap was limited.

However, when I set off, I found that what Mrs. Ao said was true.

Ao Luanjing couldn't help but feel a layer of worry in his heart: "It turns out that Cousin Sheng could have inherited such a family business, but now Aunt Feng is happy, just in case, isn't it necessary to get rid of him?"

Worried about Sheng Sleeping Crane, she also thought of herself, "Cousin Sheng was born rich and has only studied well, after going to Chang'an, the girls over there see him, how can they not be thoughtful? Here in this county, because Cousin Sheng is concentrating on studying, except for Sheng Weiqiao and other sisters, he can't contact any girls at all, and he is still polite to me." At that time, Bai Mei Qianjiao came to me, and I ...... Do I still have a chance?"

She suddenly felt that she had to follow the Sheng Xu family to the north, maybe it wasn't a good idea?

But at this moment, everyone is sitting on the departure car, if they suddenly go back, how should they explain?

What's more, she was really unwilling to be defeated without a fight - she was stunned for a moment, and secretly gritted her teeth: "The world is unpredictable! Isn't it just a one-year-old youth?

Sheng Weiqiao and the three of them didn't know about Ao Luanjing's entanglements--they didn't bother to pay attention to her if they knew--they ate snacks and pointed out the scenery along the way, so they arrived at the dock, and after getting off the bus, they didn't get on the boat, but were invited by the steward to a restaurant next to them.

"Let them put our things on the boat first, and tell the big girl to stare at the almost, and then we will go up." After sitting down in the restaurant, Sheng Weiqiao explained, "In case we go up first, people will be very disturbed when they go in and out." ”

At this time, Sheng Lanci, who saw them off, came in and asked them, "Is the luncheon on the boat or here?" The cooks are already cleaning up. ”

The girls hurriedly got up to greet him, and at the end they all looked at Ao Luanjing, after all, she was a guest here.

Ao Luanjing didn't know if there was anything special about it, and he was embarrassed to ask, so he said: "It's good that Sister Qiao has an idea, I don't have anything." ”

Sheng Weiqiao didn't shirk when he heard this, and said: "There is no beautiful scenery in this restaurant, so it is better to put it on the boat, and then you can blow the wind." ”

"If it's cold today, the farther north it gets, the colder it gets, and the girl is a girl, and her body is delicate, but she can't always blow the wind. Sheng Lanci heard this, and said busily, "Lu Qi, you keep an eye on it, don't let the obedient girl be too willful! ”

Sheng Weiqiao sent Lu Jin to the boat to keep an eye on the next person's things, and left Lu Qi to serve, which made Lu Qi hear his master's words, and hurriedly bent his knees to accept the order.

"That's how Dad made a fuss. Sheng Weiqiao complained, "I just felt tired after sitting in the carriage for a long time, so I wanted to blow the wind to relieve my boredom!

"Of course we are caring and sensible. Sheng Lanci smiled and soothed, "But after all, it's the first time I've gone far away, how can my father not say a few more words? ”

Originally, Feng also wanted to come to the dock to see him off, but because of his pregnancy, he was persuaded by the top and bottom. Although Xiao is not pregnant, he has just taken care of the backyard of the Sheng Mansion, and he is busy with lack of skills, but he has no time to send his daughter.

As for the Feng family and Xuan Yu's family, the reason was that they were angry by the Feng family's mother and daughter's "ignorance".

Sheng Weiqiao didn't take the anger of the foreign family and his aunt seriously, anyway, he went back to the two families to be coquettish, these elders were not soft-hearted, after all, the reason why they didn't forget to murder Sheng Sleeping Crane was that they were afraid that this person would become a stumbling block for their mother and daughter?

This will stick out his tongue, make a grimace, and say with a smile: "Okay, okay, I know, that is, the weather in our Nanfeng County is not very cold, after going north, when it is really cold, how can I not take care of myself?"

The father and daughter said a few words, and Sheng Lan asked a few people about their preferences and taboos—mainly Ao Luanjing—and went down to make arrangements.

Ao Luanjing asked curiously at this time: "What about Cousin Sheng, they don't seem to have come to sit in this restaurant?"

She thought to herself that even if Sheng Lan quit this favorite daughter, where would the luncheon be placed, and the trivial things of her own taste, she wouldn't be able to let him run errands himself, right?

Even if you feel that you have neglected to send a steward, wouldn't you still be able to make the crane sleep?

The girl's heart was sudden, and she said that the Sheng family was aware of her thoughts, and she did not approve of her sleeping with Sheng, was she trying to reduce her chances of contact with this Sheng cousin?

She was suspicious and very frightened, and she tried not to reveal it on her face, but the hand hidden under the table grasped the hem of her skirt.
