Chapter 12 Parental Heart
Chapter 12 Parental Heart
On the way back to Xiangji Hall from Cuihuang Courtyard, Sheng Weiqiao looked at her husband's expression and asked in a low voice, "What did you say to your eldest brother outside?"
"We don't know each other, what can we say?" Rong Sleeping Crane smiled slightly when he heard this, turned his head and said, "It's just some inconsequential trivialities!"
Sheng Weiqiao was suddenly unhappy: "Oh, it's just some trivial matters? When I went out, I saw your confrontational appearance, and I thought you were going to fight!"
"For the eldest brother, it may be an important matter. Seeing this, Rong Sleeping Crane quickly explained, "It's just a trivial matter for me...... He felt that his sister-in-law's illness had something to do with the Qi family, and asked me if I could ask for the Qi family and the court to pursue the honor of the seal, so as to comfort the sister-in-law?"
Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly asked, "Then did you promise?"
"Of course not. Rong Sleepy Crane said as a matter of course, "You know, now Meng Guiyu is the sole ruler of the court, and the Son of Heaven is his disguise! In order to clear the charge and restore my identity for King Gaomi and his faction, I have been going back and forth with him for many days! At this time, the Qi family is dead, even if I give mourning and say something unpleasant, it is not useless? Now I am not idle to the point of wasting manpower and energy for such an inconsequential matter!"
"......" Sheng Weiqiao just came over, and he didn't know much about her husband's current situation, although she had the idea of fulfilling Qi's family, she was silent when she heard the words.
After thinking about it, they arrived at Xiangji Hall, and a banquet had already been set up here, just waiting for them to take their seats.
After taking a seat, Sheng Weiqiao peeked at the faces of his parents and mother-in-law, but the three elders were all smiling, and they couldn't see their true emotions at all.
It was Sheng Weiyuan at the bottom, with a small face, very unhappy.
Sensing his sister's gaze, he cast a resentful glance.
Sheng Weiqiao knew at a glance that this younger brother had just made a mistake again, and was cleaned up by Sheng Lanci and his wife, so he blamed himself for not taking him with him when he left!
It's just that Sheng Weiqiao smiled apologetically at him, but he didn't regret it at all, so he didn't take him to Cuihuang Courtyard together.
After all, I don't know the nature of this younger brother, since I know that he is restless, who knows if something will happen when he visits the Qi family?
Originally, Sheng Weiqiao went to Cuihuang Courtyard specifically to support the Qi family, and brought such a younger brother over, if people thought that she was specifically going to block the Qi family, wouldn't it be self-defeating?
Of course, after all, he is the younger brother, or the only younger brother, and he is young, seeing him sitting there aggrieved, Sheng Weiqiao felt a little unbearable, and was about to say two soft words to make him happy, but the first princess Gaomi talked about Rong Ruibin's upbringing: "You just came from Nanfeng County, and the county prince's mansion was raided by the Chongxin Marquis before, although He'er has been very tidy up after his return, and now the manpower is not complete." It's a similar situation over there in the Sheng Mansion! Why don't you let Ruibin take care of me for a few days temporarily, and then come and pick him up after you clean up the mansion and get it all right?"
He also said, "There are many children in the house, and the children are more lively together." ”
The princess made this suggestion, of course, because she liked Rong Ruibin, and also had the intention of using Rong Ruibin to get closer to Rong Sleeping Crane, but in fact, it was also for the sake of Rong Qing's family.
It is hoped that by leaving Rong Ruibin in the palace to raise, the relationship between the two brothers will be harmonized.
It's just that Sheng Lanci and his wife decided that she didn't like Sheng Weiqiao, how could they give her the opportunity to get close to Rong Sleeping Crane's father and son?
At that moment, Feng said: "The princess of the in-laws should not have refused her kindness. But the princess has been raising her for the past two years, and the princess is still sick now, so how can this situation still make Ruibin bother you? Ruibinda has been raising under our knees since two months, and these days, she has long been used to it, and she doesn't feel that there is any need to be distracted. ”
"What's more, our ancestral house is in Nanfeng County, and the house here in Chang'an was just bought for a small stay. ”
"Even if there is something that doesn't fit well, it's just going to be!"
"In this way, we will take care of Ruibin, and let the obedient girl and Mizhen concentrate on picking up the county palace!"
Sheng Lanci added to his wife: "This unfilial son under our knees is not very old. Even if you don't take care of Ruibin, you have to look at this unfilial son. So the two children are raised together, and it is all by the way. ”
Princess Gaomi smiled bitterly in her heart, through the conversation with these two in-laws, she had already known that this request would be rejected.
But at this moment, he still looked at Rong Sleeping Crane with the hope of just in case, but saw that Rong Sleeping Crane was engrossed in peeling shrimp for his wife, as if he didn't notice the argument between the elders at all.
The princess bit her lip, and under the electric thought, she didn't dare to insist, sighed secretly, and said a few words of hard work Sheng Lanci and his wife, and this section was revealed.
Because of the frustration of the plan, Princess Gaomi was a little depressed next.
And Sheng Lanci and his wife were full of vigilance, lest she still have any tricks to do.
So that most of the people who ate this meal didn't know the taste, so Sheng Wei thought that her father, mother, and husband were there, and she didn't feel too relaxed, and she was happily served by her husband and enjoyed her mother-in-law's cooking skills.
After the banquet, I used a little tea, refused Princess Gaomi's stay, and the group left.
On the way back to the county king's mansion, Sheng Weiqiao fell asleep in her husband's arms sleepily, and didn't even know how to get back to the mansion, how to enter the inner room, and how to be undressed.
And Sheng Lanci and his wife were also very tired because of the banquet after the long journey, but because they were full of vigilance, they couldn't sleep anyway!
When they arrived at the courtyard where the county prince's mansion arranged for them to live, after freshening up, they sent their subordinates and nurses to take Sheng Weiyuan and Rong Ruibin to settle down, and the couple entered the tent, and they talked worriedly about Princess Gaomi's desire to raise Rong Ruibin: "This is clearly to press Ruibin in his hands as a hostage!"
"And I want to use our obedient grandson to envelop Mizhen's heart in the past!"
"Fortunately, let's come over together this time, otherwise if the obedient mother comes, she will hold her mother-in-law's shelf, and she will tear her face with her, otherwise how can she refuse?"
"People say it so well: it's all because they feel sorry for their son and daughter-in-law! If they tear their faces with her, up and down, they have to send all the obedient women! How wronged should we be?"
"She and Mizhen are biological mothers and sons in the end, and they work hard day by day, who knows when Mizhen is soft-hearted, she will be with her...... When the time comes, she will see the sky and say, "Let's not be obedient......"
The more the couple thought about it, the more they felt that Princess Gaomi was dangerous, and their daughter had such a mother-in-law who had to be vigilant and try their best to prevent any possibility of reconciliation between Rong Sleeping Crane and Princess Gaomi!
While they were muttering and discussing countermeasures, in the Gaomi Palace, Cuihuang Courtyard, Qi's family sent their children and henchmen softly, leaving her husband to speak in front of the couch: "When a third brother and sister came to see me today, they proposed that if I felt that I didn't have enough energy to take care of the children, I would send Lingzhan to the Junwang Mansion, and she would help take care of the ...... What do you think?"
Rong Qingchu was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Third brother and sister...... It's okay before, Guangchang and Yunyang went to live in her house. But at that time, she had not been married for a long time, and the third brother was busy with official business and rarely could accompany her, so the two children used to stay for a few days to be her companion. ”
"But now that she has a child of her own, Ruibin's nephew is still young, although the master of the in-laws and the wife of the in-laws help take care of it, the third brother and sister are the mother-in-law, where can they not worry?"
"She's the first time to be a mother, I'm afraid that I'm in a hurry, and then sending our children over at this time, won't it make a mess for her?"
Qi sighed: "Didn't you find out, the third brother and sister don't talk about taking care of Ruibin, I just asked a few words about Ruibin, and I know that this nephew is eighty percent of the in-laws and the in-laws' wife to bring her, and she doesn't worry about it at all!"
Seeing what Rong Qingshu was going to say, she frowned slightly, "We all know her background, and she is the most pampered, you see that this time the third brother asked her to come to Chang'an to reunite with Ruibin, and her parents were so worried that they took their young son to accompany them to the north...... I heard that the master of the in-laws family is the pillar of the Sheng family, and he can just leave this situation, which shows how much it hurts this daughter. In this way, who would expect the third brother and sister to really be cows and horses for us?"
"It's just thinking that in our current situation, the children can get her blue eyes...... Even if it's just a blue eye in the eyes of outsiders, the future will ...... It's just a friendship in the future!"
She said this very slowly, and between her mouths, she only felt a rusty smell surging in her throat.
Qi Shi had already experienced, and knew that he was thinking of what happened to the Qi family, and his excitement caused his qi and blood to rise, so he hurriedly pressed his chest, slowed down his breathing, and tried to press down.
Rong Qingchu was distressed watching from the sidelines, took his robe and sat on the edge of the couch, took his wife into his arms, and gently stroked her back.
After a while, Qi finally eased up, motioned to her husband to make her tea, rinsed her mouth with tea, she felt better, and continued: "What happened to my mother's family, I don't blame the third brother, after all, my father and his ...... He is bent on supporting you in your father's inheritance. Resting on the position of the third brother, he naturally can't tolerate it! At this time, he is ruthless to the Qi family, and he has not considered letting our family go in the future!"
Seeing that Rong Qingchu looked guilty, as if she wanted to say something, she shook her head and stopped, "It's just that the third brother has no intention of dealing with us so far, what about the third brother and sister, I can see that she really wants to help us." The problem is that in this world, stepping on low and worshipping high, with red and white, is the most common!"
"I'm afraid that the people under the third brother, or those who want to curry favor with the third brother, will poison us and the children because of what happened to the Qi family, so as to curry favor with the third brother!"
"Didn't there be a colt who died like this in the previous dynasty?"
"This kind of thing can't be prevented, and the only way to solve it is to let those villains know that the third brother has no intention of dealing with us...... So what the third brother and sister proposed today, whether it is a deliberate consideration or an impulse, I think we should seize it!"
Rong Qingchu hesitated: "But you have been bedridden for a while, where can the children leave with confidence?"
Qi frowned: "It was because I was bedridden that the third brother and sister proposed to help take care of the children!
“…… But Lingzhan is also sensible at this age. Rong Qingchu still hesitated, "The third brother came with the third brother and sister, I took Lingzhan out to greet him, he was very indifferent when he saw the third brother, although he also saluted and said hello." However, the third brother must also see his true intentions!"
"......" Qi Shi was silent for a while, and said, "You call Lingzhan over tomorrow, and I'll give him a good talk! Born in the emperor's family, he is so old, how can he still be ignorant?"
