Chapter 161: An unexpected overture
When Empress Dowager Meng heard this, she took a sip of wine, and couldn't laugh or cry a little: "This little girl seems to be just Sheng Lanci's niece, right?
Mrs. Xiang reminded her: "The Sheng family came with four children this time, and today the Queen Mother only summoned three girls into the palace, and the Sheng Sleeping Crane is still outside!"
"Well, it's true!" Empress Dowager Meng nodded, "It turns out that I am worried about my eldest brother...... With such a friendly and brotherly trip, how can the mourning family disappoint the little girl's family?"
Whispered to Chi Zuosi, "Tell the kitchen to prepare a portion of the grilled fish and today's dishes, and reward them when the children of the Sheng family leave the palace!"
The Queen Mother smiled, "Don't tell them in advance, let that little girl be disappointed now......! I can't help but give her a long memory!"
Chi Zuosi covered his mouth and smiled: "The Queen Mother can rest assured!"
Sheng Weiqiao and the three of them naturally didn't know about these things. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sheng Weiqiao will rack her brains to tell Sheng Weiyu that she will accompany the Queen Mother when she is taboo - God is pitiful, she is not familiar with the Queen Mother Meng, although she is very uneasy, she has said no two words, and then searches her intestines and stomach, but she really doesn't know what to say?
"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. At this time, Meng Guihuan's voice suddenly came from the side, and he said lazily, "My aunt has always been tolerant of children like us, and the last time you offended you like that, it just scared you." Your cousin is so young, even if she says something taboo, your aunt will treat it as a child. ”
Sheng Weiqiao saw that she took a gilded painted Wufu holding a longevity amphora, walked to him and sat down, it was an accident, because there was no malice in her tone, but a little bit of goodwill, the fox was suspicious, and still said: "Please ask Miss Eleven for advice?"
"Don't tell this or that. When Meng Guihuan heard this, he really pointed out, "What do you think your aunt wants her cousin to talk to? Don't you just think that her childish words are very cute? In this case, what do you teach her? What my aunt loves to listen to is the rhetoric that her children's family came up with by herself, if she wants to listen to what you teach, can't she just call you over?"
"My cousin has always been pampered at home, and I am afraid that her child family will not be sensible and say things that are too offensive to the queen mother. Sheng Wei Qiaoxin said that you have to know the achievements of my little ancestor back then, which is unbearable even for our grandfather who loves his grandchildren so much, Bacheng will not suggest so, and said, "Even if the Queen Mother doesn't care about it, we have received such a lot of love from the Queen Mother, and we have not done an inch, but it makes the Mother unhappy, isn't it a great crime?"
Meng Guihuan covered his smile and said, "You are a grateful person." ”
Sheng Weiqiao couldn't bear her intentions, so he tentatively said: "I am also very grateful for Miss Eleven's guidance, but I don't know what I can do for Miss Eleven?"
"Well, are you thinking that I am obviously not polite to you, what will I do to take the initiative to come and talk to you, right?" Meng Guihuan heard this, showing a sneering expression, and after thinking about it, he whispered, "That, I just came to talk to you, I really wanted to make things difficult for you just now...... But I just want to say that you can't get off the stage or something, but I don't plan to do anything to you!"
"......" Sheng Weiqiao looked at her and was speechless for a while, before she also asked in a low voice, "Why do you want to say a few words about me being angry? When did I offend you?"
Meng Guihuan tilted his head unnaturally, bit his lip, and after a moment, Fang said: "There is nothing to offend and not offend - it's just that you are not pleasing to the eye when you are dressed luxuriously and are favored and are about the same age as me!"
Sheng Weiqiao: "......"
She was silent for a while, picked up the golden banana leaf cup in front of her, took a shallow sip of the warm cane syrup in her mouth, didn't hold it back, and asked, "Because of this, you actually arranged for someone to shoot the horse we pulled the cart outside the Danmo Building? Do you know that if we reacted slower that time, we would definitely be injured? Especially my cousin was also in the car at the time, she was only so big, what was the result of a slight bump?"
Hearing the anger in her words, Meng Guihuan looked stunned and said, "This matter...... Why do you doubt me? I didn't do it!"
“…… Really? I misunderstood. When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he woke up, and he was shocked, and he said in his heart that he really shouldn't have said this-if she hadn't listened to Sheng Shenghe's conversation with Huan Yehe before, she wouldn't be sorry to ask at all!
The problem is that she knows that the matter of Bishui County is basically done by Sheng Sleeping Crane and Huan Yehe, even if she is not so weak that she kneels down when she sees Empress Dowager Meng, confesses her guilt, and when she mentions related matters, it is difficult not to reveal flaws.
Seeing Meng Guihuan deny it, Sheng Weiqiao didn't dare to pursue it even though he didn't believe it very much, and prevaricated, "When I met Miss Zhao Er before, I didn't feel like she was this kind of person. Thinking that we have seen the two of you in Danmo Building, it's not her, maybe it's you?"
Meng Guihuan explained: "There is no such thing! I took the maid and the maid to Bishui County, where can the archers come from?"
But when she said this, she seemed to think of something, her face changed, and she forced a smile, "Maybe it was a mistake? For example, someone tried a bow nearby, and accidentally shot the horse you pulled the cart, and was afraid of being held accountable, so he slipped away quietly or something?"
"It should be like this, right?" Sheng Weiqiao was trying to hide herself, so as not to be seen as a problem, and she didn't notice her abnormality, and couldn't wait to echo when she heard the words, "It really scared us a lot at that time!"
Subconsciously covered up Sheng Shenghe, "So not long after returning to the boat, my brother ordered the boat to sail, just because I was afraid that something would happen if I continued to stay in Bishui County! After all, most of our group are female dependents who are powerless, and we really don't dare to get into trouble in an unfamiliar place." ”
Meng Guihuan was also very weak-hearted, and agreed: "You and your group don't have any elders, and if something like this happens, it's no wonder that you have to leave Bishui County overnight." However, it is no wonder that the county lord of Deping suspected you before, you went all the way north, except for the stops and landings in Bishui County and Jiangnan, even if you docked in other places, they were just replenishing supplies, especially the stop in Jiangnan, because your companion was sick and needed to go ashore to resettle. In such a strict calculation, there is only one place where you really stop in Bishui County, and the county lord of Deping found out about this, thinking that you are suspicious, and then persuaded her grandmother, Concubine Mo, and her aunt to come to interrogate you that day. ”
She said this as a gesture of goodwill, explaining to Sheng Weiqiao the inside story of the day's events.
However, Sheng Weiqiao was almost scared to death, because she hadn't thought much about why Sheng Sleeping Crane asked to stop in Bishui County for half a day? Even if she thought about it occasionally, she believed Xu Baomo's guess at that time, that is, I was afraid that this matter had something to do with Sheng Sleeping Crane's biological mother.
This will know the truth, Meng Guihuan's words, she sounded like a temptation.
Sheng Weiqiao pinched his palm hard, admonishing himself to calm down, Fang Qiang smiled: "This is because my family has some industries in Bishui County, we originally planned to patrol all the way to Chang'an, but after being frightened in front of Danmo Tower, my brother was worried about the regeneration, and then he didn't let us go ashore - it was true that the docking in Jiangnan was for the two brothers and sisters of the world's friends, otherwise, we were still rich in supplies on the ship at that time, and I am afraid that we would not stop at all when passing through Jiangnan." ”
This excuse was an improvised one, and to be honest, it couldn't resist scrutiny.
Because from Nanfeng County to Bishui County, there are also Cangwu and other counties in the middle, all of which are close to the sea, and it is convenient for the building boat to dock.
And none of them stopped, the first time they docked ashore was Bishui County - those counties also have Sheng family properties, why didn't they patrol?
Fortunately, Meng Guihuan didn't know this, but when she heard this, she paid attention: "Just now, your cousin said that your family has silver, is it true?
Sheng Weiqiao muttered when he heard this, and said in his heart that you suddenly came over to be low, could it be that you listened to Sheng Weiqiao's words of boasting about her wealth?
She had doubts in her heart, but said calmly on her face: "My sister's little child doesn't know what the sky is high and the earth is talking about! In fact, it is said that it is an industry that goes all the way north, and it is just a few sporadic shops, which is not worth anything." ”
She was worried that Meng Guihuan was fighting her family's idea, and she was worried about the suspicion of the county lord of Deping, so she said this, and without waiting for Meng Guihuan to answer, she hurriedly asked, "By the way, I just listened to Mrs. Xiang's tone, and the cousin has been found? This is really good news! But I don't know if there are clues to the real murderer? If so, does the county lord of Deping not suspect us?"
Meng Guihuan sighed when he heard this, and said: "I found the news of a quick horse rush from the previous time, but the mountains and rivers are all over the place, what kind of people are now, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't rest assured! After all, who knows if Qin Cha will hide the bad news first? As for the suspicion of the county lord of Deping, don't take it too seriously-as long as your aunt and Concubine Mo don't suspect you, it is useless for her to jump up and down, this person says that it is the county lord, but in fact she is just an idler under the fence in the palace!"
This girl used to look at how difficult it was to get along with, but she talked a lot, looked left and right, and said, "You see that she is twenty years old, don't say it until now, she hasn't even decided on her relatives!"
When Sheng Weiqiao saw the county lord of Deping that day, she was also surprised that she was still dressed as a housemaid when she was twenty years old?
However, at that time, she was too busy to defend the matter of Bishui County, so she naturally had no time to pursue it in such a place that did not concern her.
When Meng Guihuan mentioned it, he was curious, and couldn't help leaning towards her, and asked in a low voice: "I didn't pay attention to this if you didn't say it...... Why hasn't this county lord been out of the cabinet yet? Is it because the concubine and the princess Gaomi are reluctant to let her go?"
She thought to herself, how could a normal elder love a girl like this?
Like her, she is the beloved baby of Sheng Lanci and his wife, and now she is only fifteen, Sheng Lanci and his wife have officially shown her people since last year - no matter how much Concubine Mo and Princess Gaomi love Lord Deping, how can they keep people until they are twenty years old and not leave the cabinet?
Is this hurting the Lord of Deping, or is it hurting the Lord of Deping?
Just thinking about it, I heard Meng Guihuan smile and say softly: "What is reluctant? This is clearly a deliberate toss of her! Speaking of Deping, the county lord was still given to her by my aunt, for this matter, when my aunt wanted to give the fourteenth princess, she was stopped by King Gaomi by all means-you said that King Gaomi is the biological father of Deping, but he doesn't want his daughter to be crowned the county lord, which shows how he feels for Deping! So don't look at her as the county lord, except for how much Concubine Mo pitures her, the Gaomi Mansion doesn't care about her life or death at all!"
He also said, "Why do you think she is staying in the palace? It's not that Concubine Mo likes her so much that she has to keep her by her side, it's that she has no place in the Gaomi Palace, and in the end it is Concubine Mo's own granddaughter, and Concubine Mo took pity on her, so she told my aunt and cleaned up a small courtyard in Xinshou Palace for her to stay!"
Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but be stunned, the words of the question came to his mouth, he swallowed back after thinking about it, and asked cautiously: "Miss Eleven, what do you mean by saying so many things to me? Can you tell me honestly, so that I can have a bottom in my heart? Otherwise, I don't dare to continue talking to you!"
