Chapter Ninety-Three: Separation
Sheng Weiqiao felt that it was really a blessing that she could return to Zhu Huan Xiaozhu - with a brother like Sheng Sleeping Crane, she was not angry, nor was she angry!
"Damn Sheng Sleeping Crane! Damn Sheng Hengshu! Damn it......" Rao is like this, after she bathed and changed clothes, she didn't even have the mind to let the maid wring her long hair, scattering her long wet hair, pacing around the room, gritting her teeth incessantly, "I will never, never, never let you go!!"
Seeing this situation, the subordinates did not dare to come out, only holding a towel and other things to serve on the side, looking at the nose and nose, and standing respectfully and neatly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Sheng Shenghe told Rao to get up, he grabbed him and punched and kicked him, more or less out of a bad breath - this will walk around the house more than a dozen times, the water droplets on the wet hair soaked the back of the clothes, the original light and smooth silk clothes were tightly adhered to the skin, it was uncomfortable, she finally stomped her feet and walked back to the couch: "Wring!"
The green brocade and green Qi, who had stopped talking for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief and led the little maids to come up to serve.
After a while, the small kitchen sent white fungus wolfberry stewed bird's nest, Sheng Weiqiao has always liked this taste, and after using it, his face eased a lot.
Seeing this, Lu Jincai smiled and said: "Miss, the second lady and the eighth lady are newly mourned, although there are guests at home, but the lady just sent someone to catch up with the slaves and maids and spread the word, saying that Miss Ming'er should change her body, these silk and satin, at least wait for a hundred days before getting on your body, do you think it?"
――Actually, this point should be reminded of Sheng Weiqiao this morning!
Helplessly, Sheng Weiqiao had just been picked up from the ancestral hall by her father, and she was in a time full of grievances, Sheng Lanci and his wife were afraid that she would cry and make a fuss, and it would be too late to coax her daughter, plus because she didn't care much about Bai and Sheng Lian, where did she dare to remind her of the problem of uniformity?
It happened that the Ao family came to the door, and Quan Dang made an exception in order to entertain guests.
But even if Sheng Lanci and his wife didn't care much about the faces of the Bai family and Sheng Pian, they didn't want their daughter to have a reputation as disrespectful aunts and unfriendly sisters.
When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, his brows furrowed: "What did you say?
"Miss Eight died because she was frightened and grieved too much because she witnessed the death of the second lady—it was the day before yesterday. Lu Jin didn't know what Sheng Lianlian was doing in private, and said truthfully according to the news he heard, "Because Miss Eight is young, and the old lady can't help but have this bad news, Miss Eight's funeral is over." ”
Originally, there were old people in the family, and even the aftermath of a housewife like the Bai family could not be done in a big way.
Sheng Lianlian is just a concubine who has just been recognized, she is still so young, and everything after her death must be simple according to customs.
And the head of the Sheng family knows what she does, so he won't give her a funeral with heart.
Therefore, he did not stop at all, and directly called his subordinates to go outside to buy a coffin, and carried it out to bury it on the same day -- according to the rule that minor heirs are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave when they die young, the burial place is still in the field of a Zhuangzi chosen at random.
After Lu Jin finished speaking, seeing Sheng Weiqiao's frowning eyebrows, she thought that she pitied Sheng Pixi's cold burial, and hurriedly comforted, "The old lady and the old lady in the family are sick, and the second lady is not, and they are very busy up and down! ”
"I'm going to see what she's doing, do you want to put salt on the wounds of Sister Rao's sister and brother?" Sheng Weiqiao smiled bitterly, shook his head and didn't speak, and muttered for a while before asking, "By the way, what has Ying Jiang been doing in the past two days?"
When Sheng Weiqiao was locked up in the ancestral hall before, because the Feng family didn't even allow her to take the maid, Gongsun Yingjiang was naturally not among them.
And after Sheng Weiqiao came out today, before he could think of this niece, he was fooled by the Feng family and went to the Forbidden Snow Hall to greet the Ao family.
At this point, Gongsun Yingjiang did not appear, and it can be said that he has not received the news.
But later, after a group of them played in the garden for so long, they were called back to the Forbidden Snow Hall for a banquet, but Gongsun Yingjiang never appeared, which made Sheng Weiqiao feel strange: this niece was sticky to herself before, and she could see her almost every day when she opened her eyes.
Now that she hasn't gone to the ancestral hall for a few days, why doesn't she show up?
Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you tell Ying Jiang about the news of my return?"
Lu Jin hurriedly said: "That's it! The slave maid personally called Jinli to tell the eyebrow string over there." ”
Jinli is Zhu Huan Xiaozhu's little maid who is in charge of running errands, and she is standing at the door listening to orders, and when she heard the words, she hurriedly came in and said: "When the slave maid went to the Qiongbao Pavilion, it happened that Miss Sun was idle, and she called the slave and maid in to speak-the slave and maid told Miss Sun in front of her!"
"Since Ying Jiang Ming knows that I am out...... Sheng Weiqiao muttered: "How is Ying Jiang's complexion?
Jin Li hesitated, shook his head and said, "Miss Sun has a good complexion, and I haven't heard that Miss Sun is unwell or has anything to do in the past two days." ”
This is strange - Sheng Weiqiao saw that his long hair was almost dry, so he waved his hand to let the subordinates other than Lu Jin and Lu Qi retreat, lowered his voice and asked quietly: "Ying Jiang has been ...... for the past two days." Didn't you go where you shouldn't?"
Lu Jin and Lu Qi understood what she meant, and said cautiously: "The slaves and maids haven't heard that anyone is disturbing the prince or the prince during this time. ”
Could it be that this niece suddenly changed her temperament and was determined to be a real lady who didn't go out of the door?
Sheng Weiqiao couldn't believe it, she told the two big girls: "Tomorrow morning, a cup of tea will call me to get up, and I'll go next door to take a look!"
When Zhu Huanxiaozhu, who had been busy for a long time, finally put off the lights and settled, the west courtyard of the Forbidden Snow Hall was brightly lit, and occasionally there was a cough, and the maids inside and outside were busy under the scolding of Feng and Xiao.
"Mother, drink loquat dew again. Feng Shi took the glass cup that the maid hurriedly brought in, first took a sip of it himself, and confirmed that the temperature was suitable, before holding it in front of Mrs. Ming with both hands, and said warmly, "This is specially prepared by Dr. Hang after giving you the pulse, saying that Chuanbei is added to it, and the cough suppressant effect is particularly good!"
Old Madam Ming took a sip weakly, and the rapid cough subsided a lot.
But she didn't feel happy, but shed tears: "What's the point of living to be born with such an evil obstacle? It's just a shame in vain! It's better to just go like this!"
Feng Shi and Xiao Shi hurriedly said: "Mother, what did you say!"
- Originally, according to the sophistication of human feelings, even if I didn't think so, I should continue to say a few good words about Sheng Lans.
But now the two concubines are aspiring to stop together, and Quan Dang didn't hear the meaning of Mrs. Ming's attempt to mediate for Sheng Lansi.
This is because Mrs. Sheng intends to fulfill her previous promise:
On the eve of the old lady's birthday before, Sheng Lansi's outer room brought his daughter Sheng Lian to the door, which made the old lady furious, and the old lady Ming invited Feng to intercede and appease in time, so that the old lady was merciful, but he also left angrily!
At that time, the old lady said that if Sheng Lansi caused this kind of trouble again, the old lady would not bother to worry about this time - directly divide the second room!
Then this time the death of the Bai family, although it was not Sheng Lansi's doing, but whether it is the murderer Wu on the surface or the actual mastermind behind the scenes, Ao Jia, in the final analysis, it is always Sheng Lansi who likes the new and hates the old sins!
Therefore, Sheng Lansi was acquitted by the yamen on the front foot, and received the old lady's order on the back foot: pack up the things, and as soon as the Bai family's aftermath is over, let him get out of the Sheng Mansion!
Sheng Lansi knew that he was at a loss, and he had always been afraid of his father and brother, so he didn't dare to come out when he heard the words, but in private, he secretly ran to Mrs. Ming to cry and plead, hoping that Mrs. Ming could try to make Mrs. Sheng take back her life- Although he knew that Mrs. Sheng would not throw all the second room out of the door without giving a penny, not to mention that the Sheng family is now flourishing, and it is actually a loss to be divided every day in the morning;
The worst thing is that Sheng Lansi doesn't know anything about business, and the heirs under his knees are not old enough to be in charge on their own, and they can't see that they will be good at attracting wealth and treasures - even if they can get a lot of money from the Sheng Mansion now, they will have to sit and eat!
How can it be like now, living in the Sheng Mansion, eating, drinking, and having fun, you can go to the public account, except for occasionally annoying your father and beating up, you don't need to worry about anything to be happy?
So Sheng Lansi naturally didn't want to break up from the bottom of his heart.
And Mrs. Ming was reluctant to let him go - her son knew that although Sheng Lansi and Sheng Lanzi were very mediocre, Sheng Lanzi was quite honest after all, not the kind of person who spent all his time drinking, and if he gave him a family business, even if he couldn't carry it forward, he would be able to keep it in the end.
Sheng Lansi is different, this son is a typical loser, he can only spend, not earn.
Since he was a teenager, he has been the child that Mrs. Ming worries the most - how can the old lady rest assured that such a son has left him?
It's just that Mrs. Ming knows that Mrs. Sheng is angry now, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of the Ao family, it is estimated that Sheng Lansi will be beaten into the ward again by his father before he gets out of the cell, so he doesn't dare to tell the old lady directly. After thinking about it, he could only hit the idea on the heads of the remaining two daughters-in-law, hoping that they could help persuade Sheng Lanci and Sheng Lanzi to let the brothers go and intercede with the old lady.
However, the Feng family and the Xiao family are usually respectful to Mrs. Ming, but this time it is the same as an appointment, blindly caring about everything else, and refusing to let go!
Of course, the two concubines refused to let go-Sheng Lansi used to squander the money from the public school, and the Feng family was born rich and had a rich dowry, so he didn't care much; Xiao felt that it was unfair, but he was not jealous enough to hope that his husband would learn from him, so he just paid it back.
The problem is that this time the matter has been in the yamen, and it can be regarded as a cruel reminder to the two concubines: first the Ao family, then the Bai family, the Wu family, Sheng Lansi likes the new and hates the old, but the big house and the third room are heartbroken for him, not only to help with the aftermath, but also to help appease the old lady and old lady, and in the end, even Sheng Lansi's son and daughter have to be taken care of by them!
Everyone also has children, daughters and families to take care of, so why should they be forced to throw away the things in their hands and make cattle and horses for the second house?
And Sheng Lansi is only in his early thirties this year and is still in his prime.
There is a way that the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change. It is conceivable that if he is not separated, even if Mrs. Sheng beats him on the couch for three years, after three years, he will be a veteran of the flower bush again, what is the Zhang family, the Wang family, the Li family, and the Qian family!
At that time, even if there will be no more deaths, the backyard of the second room will definitely not stop.
So is it possible to live in a big house and a three-bedroom house alone?
Not to mention, Sheng Shenghe of the big room has already decided to participate in the imperial examination, and he very much needs a person with a clean family style to avoid accidents;
Even if they are girls who can't participate in the imperial examination, Feng and Xiao are worried that their daughters will be spoiled by the likes of Rusheng Mercy - seven-year-old Sheng Weiwei knows that she went to Tianxianglou to hire someone to frame Sheng Sleeping Crane, isn't it because there is a second uncle who is a frequent visitor to Tianxianglou at home!?
Therefore, the Feng family and the Xiao family are simply in favor of Mrs. Sheng's plan to separate the two rooms!
If the old lady couldn't think of it, maybe they would take the initiative to remind them, how could they agree to Mrs. Ming's request and persuade her husband to intercede with Sheng Lansi?
Mrs. Ming pretended to be dying for a long time, and when she saw that her two daughters-in-law were still indifferent, she knew that this method could not be used, so she sighed secretly, and no longer acted like she was about to die, but changed her usual tone, and said with emotion: "How can I not know that the evil obstacle is not worthy of compassion?
The old lady cried, "De'er has reached the year of marriage, but she has not yet been engaged! Rao'er has just come back from a great grievance outside, and her mother is gone! Xing'er, Xian'er, and Jie'er are still so young! You say, what is the difference between handing them over to the evil obstacle and taking them out of the door than pushing them into the fire pit?!"
