"Shouldn't it be?" Gongsun Yingjiang was taken aback by Sheng Weiqiao's sudden gaffe, and subconsciously said, "With the power of the righteous grandfather in Nanfeng County, if you want to give the little uncle a clean background, it is just a matter of one sentence - if the little uncle has nothing to do with the Sheng family, why did the righteous grandfather take him back and officially enter the genealogy?"
Entering the genealogy means that he has recognized the status of Sheng Sleeping Crane in the legal system, and he is the heir of Sheng Lanci. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This is tantamount to confirming that Sheng Sleeping Crane is the identity of the Sheng family's future head of the family.
The Sheng family is not an ordinary family, Sheng Lanci is famous for spoiling his daughter, for no reason, how could he let an outsider enter the door, not to mention dividing up the things that should belong to his daughter, and even chaotic Zongyi?
"But if he is my father's child, who is his biological mother?" Sheng Weiqiao had heard this reason too many times before, and when he heard the words at this moment, instead of being relieved, his face became more and more ugly, and he said in a cold voice, "I always thought that he was a child born by accident before my father and mother got married, and he was fostered outside for the sake of his father's name, and he was accidentally exiled on Tortoiseshell Island for the sake of his father's name-but when I told my mother this, my mother didn't admit it! At that time, I thought my mother was embarrassed to admit it, but now I think about it......"
"When he entered the door, instead of crying with joy, my mother went to Feng's house to live for several days, how many times did my father go to invite, and my mother went back to Sheng Mansion for the sake of my grandfather's birthday!"
"This point may still be able to be said, my father and mother deliberately did it in order to hide people's eyes and ears - but later after my mother returned to Sheng's mansion, she took a picture with Sheng Sleeping Crane, and she didn't clear the scene to speak, didn't hug her head and cry, and didn't feel helpless, but politely said something, and it was !!calm."
"You say, this is like a reunion between mother and son after a long absence?!"
Thinking that she grew up under the knees of her parents since she was a child, she accidentally came to Tortoiseshell Island to live for a while the year before last, and Feng often received news from her in the Sheng Mansion, but later she went back, and the mother and daughter looked at each other, Feng didn't have time to say a word, and the tears fell first!
If Sheng Sleeping Crane was her brother-in-law, even if the Feng family wanted to cover up the mistakes he made when he was a teenager, how could he have to live in the Feng family for so long and take enough shelves before returning to the Sheng Mansion?!
Sheng Weiqiao only felt that he was stupid the year before last, obviously Feng had clearly denied it, and he was actually stunned when Sheng Sleeping Crane and his compatriots came out!
How blind would you be?
"Didn't the little uncle recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors as the outer chamber of his righteous grandfather?" Gongsun Yingjiang said cautiously, "Maybe this is true? After all, the righteous grandfather leaves the county every year to inspect the Sheng family's properties in various places. There are so many people at the bottom, maybe there are a few people who have the idea of offering concubines, although the righteous grandfather is a decent person, but there are too many times, it is inevitable that he will fall into the way...... Maybe that's how Uncle Xiao came?"
Sheng Weiqiao sneered and said, "If that's the case, when those people see him landing, how can they get the treasure, I'm afraid that he will find the Sheng Mansion before he is born!
Gongsun Yingjiang groaned: "The little uncle was exiled to Tortoiseshell Island at the age of five, and he was gorgeously dressed, could it be that those people looked for the Sheng Mansion when he landed, but it would be the time when the righteous grandfather married the righteous grandmother, and the Sheng family was afraid of ruining this family business, so they managed to hide the matter and placed the little uncle - but when the little uncle was five years old, what happened?"
"You are simply suspicious of my mother!" Sheng Weiqiao looked at her, "However, even if the Feng family was stronger than my Sheng family in the early years, so that the Sheng family was very jealous of my mother, but now the Sheng family's momentum is no longer under the Feng family." You have lived in the Sheng family for the past two years, and they should know about my grandfather and aunts! You said that if they had known about the existence of the Sleeping Crane in the early morning, and the Sleeping Crane had disappeared in an accident shortly after I was born...... In the past ten years, they will not mention a word?"
Gongsun Ying Jiang was speechless: The Sheng family's second and third rooms can still say that they are afraid of Sheng Lanci and the Feng family, and they dare not accuse the Feng family.
But Old Lady Sheng, this person's violent temper, beating his son is the same as eating and drinking, but it is not something that the Feng family can frighten!
He may punish his son for Sheng Lan's mistake, and even deprive his illegitimate son of the right to inherit the family business in order to compensate Feng, and especially favor his granddaughter, but he definitely can't tolerate his daughter-in-law poisoning innocent children!
"The most important thing!" Sheng Weiqiao's face sank like water, "Daddy kept saying that Sheng Sleeping Crane was his own flesh and blood, but when he first entered the genealogy, he and Sheng Sleeping Crane did not confess their relatives in public!!
"Daddy's reason at the time was that he had confirmed it when he found Sheng Sleeping Crane, so there was no need to bother with it. At that time, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and even a small wound on a cold day was not very easy to heal, not to mention the bad luck of seeing blood during the New Year-you also know the status of Daddy at home, so after hearing this, grandfather and they acquiesced!"
Sheng Weiqiao knew this section when she turned around, but she, like Old Lady Sheng and other clansmen, was not suspicious.
First, he thinks that Sheng Lanci has no reason to give up his family business to others, and secondly, he trusts Sheng Lanci's ability, and will definitely not let outsiders' bloodlines pretend to be the heirs of the Sheng family.
Therefore, the Sheng family, because of Sheng Lanci's one-sided words, didn't even check it, didn't ask much, and accepted Sheng Sleeping Crane, the sudden heir!
Now that Sheng Weiqiao has come to his senses and thinks about it, this matter is simply flawed everywhere!
“…… I don't know about that either. Gongsun Yingjiang was in a daze for a moment, and then said, "Maybe there is something else I don't know? After all, aunt, you also know that although I am the biological daughter of Gongsun, I have limited weight in front of my father." I don't dare to ask about what he didn't tell me. ”
"Speaking of you, did you go to Sheng Mansion with me back then, was there a reason?" Sheng Weiqiao's heart was cold, he took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, raised his eyes and asked, "I'm not in a good mood now, don't use anything to prevaricate me!"
Gongsun Yingjiang smiled reluctantly and said, "I can understand my aunt's feelings, in fact, I always thought that my little uncle was the bloodline of my righteous grandfather, but now I also feel confused!"
She settled down before she continued, "As for why I went to the Sheng Mansion with my aunt the year before last, it was because of Aunt Rao--my grandfather was worried that Aunt Rao would be angry with her because of what happened at sea, and Aunt You, who was naïve at that time, and was full of guilt and sympathy for Aunt Rao, and would not guard against her at all. For the sake of safety, my grandfather asked me to go to the Sheng Mansion with you, so that our aunt and nephew can go in and out together, if Aunt Rao really has any abnormal movements, I can also block it for you. ”
"Daddy, he ......" Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, she always knew that her parents loved her, but she didn't expect that Sheng Lanci could do it for her safety, and even her niece and nephew could be guarded against.
After feeling complicated for a moment, she exhaled and said, "Since that's the case, then let's not talk about this matter for now." ”
"Ying Dun he ......" Gongsun Yingjiang pleaded cautiously, "Auntie, although I have different mothers from him, our own mother was still intrigued when she was alive, but in the accident where my grandfather died in battle the year before last, I survived with him among my brothers and sisters, and finally had a friendship of life and death." Even if there is another brother and sister to land soon, I really don't want this brother to be disposed of like this - I know that my aunt has always been sympathetic to my grandfather and will not rashly interfere in the family affairs of the Gongsun family. But I don't ask for anything else, just to spare his life, is that okay?"
Tears glistened to her eyes, "Although I was born and raised at sea, my father has never been close to me, my mother is gone, and my husband, the maids and servants and sisters I once knew are gone." Among the people in the early days, except for the little uncle, Ying Dun was still alive. ”
"If even he is executed, I really don't know if this tortoiseshell island is necessary to come back in the future?"
Sheng Weiqiao was silent for a while before he said, "Are you sure that Gongsun Hai Lord really wants to kill Ying Dun? What's more, Ying Dun wasn't just taken down, right? Gongsun Hai mainly killed him, and he probably did it a long time ago, so how could he have time for you to come to me to intercede? Maybe he just wanted to beat him up and give him a long memory. ”
Gongsun Ying Jiang smiled bitterly and said: "Auntie, although you are smart, you have always been pampered, so you can't understand the decision and sacrifice required when you are on the line of life and death!"
There was a sad look in her eyes, "If Ying Dun only coveted the position of the sea lord because he was ambitious, and united with his former enemies to murder his father, this matter would be easy to solve - as long as his father is soft-hearted, it will not be difficult to spare his life!"
"But the main reason why he did this was that he objected to the plan that Gongsun Lao Haizhu had made with your gentleman when he was there, that is, to let Sheng Sleeping Crane enter the army and recruit An Tortoiseshell Island?" Sheng Weiqiao reacted, "So now even if your father and daughter are reluctant to kill Ying Dun, they are worried that there will be trouble if they keep him down?"
"My aunt just said that after my husband and my grandfather suggested surrendering to the imperial court, my grandfather hesitated for a long time, which is actually wrong: my grandfather actually wanted to surrender to the imperial court for a long time!" Gongsun Yingjiang turned his head and blinked the tears on his long eyelashes, "Because my grandfather only has one biological flesh and blood of my father, even if he accepts two righteous sons, and the little uncle who survived is very capable, but my grandfather is still not at ease!"
"I'm worried that my father will be unable to support himself alone, and he won't be able to suppress his subordinates, and he won't end well and cut off the Gongsun family; I'm worried that my little uncle is too good and the dove occupies the magpie's nest and rebels, and he can't tolerate the Gongsun family; I'm also worried that one day the princes in the court will decide to win or lose, and they will no longer be limited to the temple dispute, and they will focus on the bandits in the south, and then the tortoiseshell island will not be able to stop the king at all, and it will definitely be wiped out!!."
Gongsun Ying Jiang showed a tired look, "I didn't know these things before, and I didn't think about them, but after Ying Dun's accident this time, my father specially called me to me and told me one by one -- so my grandfather and grandson wanted to accept Zhao'an a long time ago, but they never found a suitable way! At that time, after Mr. proposed, he hesitated, in the final analysis, because he was afraid that the four generations of Gongsun would be bandits, and there were too many enemies, and his reputation was not bad, and after he went ashore, he could not be tolerated by the government and the opposition!"
"In the past ten years, the big families of Hawksbill Island and Nanfeng County, especially the Sheng family, have gotten along more and more harmoniously, precisely because my grandfather is preparing for going ashore!"
Sheng Weiqiao suddenly realized why Gongsun Lao Haizhu was the most partial to the Sheng family among the three major families in Nanfeng County, and the father and son of Gongsun Lao Haizhu were very polite to Sheng Lanci and regarded them as guests - not that Sheng Lanci was particularly in line with their eyes, but because the other two Feng families and Xuanyu families in Nanfeng County were both focused on collecting wealth and had no connection with the imperial court.
Although Sheng Lanci has already been a scholar, after all, he was once a Hanlin, and he was in the dynasty after the friendship of Ning Weihou Xu Zijing, compared with the Feng family and the Xuan Yu family, it is naturally more worthy of the attention of the Gongsun family.
Thinking of this, Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but be surprised: "Speaking of which, since the old sea lord of Gongsun has long had the idea of accepting Zhao'an, why do you have to wait for Sheng Shenghe to enter the office? With the relationship between the old sea lord and my father, it is not impossible to follow the path of the Marquis of Ningwei, right? Isn't my father agreed?"
Whether it is Gongsun Yingjiang's description or Sheng Sleeping Crane's reaction, it reflects that Gongsun Lao Haizhu neither likes nor trusts Sheng Sleeping Crane.
Therefore, Sheng Weiqiao felt that this old sea lord might not be willing to bet on Sheng Sleeping Crane with the future of the Gongsun clan and even his life—unless he had no other choice.
"I heard from my father that my grandfather-in-law did mention this to my grandfather, and my grandfather promised to help mediate. Gongsun Yingjiang sighed, "But this matter didn't work out in the end - because the reply letter of the Marquis of Ning Wei said very bluntly that he was named the Marquis with military merits, and the Marquis was soon recalled to the court to be the squire of the military department, and the original descendants were dismantled by the new commander in less than a year!"
"It can be seen that the imperial court has a lot of scruples about Marquis Ning Wei!"
"In this way, if Marquis Ningwei comes forward to contribute to the recruitment of Tortoiseshell Island, whether it succeeds or not, it will definitely harm us!"
"There is such a thing!" Sheng Weiqiao was taken aback and said, "Grandfather and Daddy have never told me this!"
She thought back to the news she had heard in Northern Xinjiang in the past two years, and she couldn't help but feel deeply disgusted by the people who succeeded Xu Zijing, "The new commander was neat in dismantling people's lineage, but in the past two years, Northern Xinjiang has been frequently disturbed, but there has not been a single serious victory, which shows how mediocre and incompetent this person is! Is the imperial court now all a group of old fools in charge? The border is heavy, and it can also be ignored?"
"Listen to my father, the successor to Marquis Ning Wei is the brother of the current Queen Mother and one of the uncles of the dynasty!" Gongsun Ying Jiang smiled bitterly, "So Ning Weihou has made great achievements in the war, what can he do? In fact, Ning Weihou is already good, my aunt thinks about his great-grandfather's old boss, General Zhou, then it is called wronged!"
Thinking of General Zhou, who had served the country all his life but was beheaded all over the house, Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but be speechless.
My aunt and nephew were relatively silent for a moment, and she sighed: "I know about Yingdun, but I know too many things today, I will be a little confused in my heart, you let me think about it!"
A touch of disappointment flashed in Gongsun Yingjiang's eyes, but he still responded obediently: "I called the jade fan to come in and serve my aunt to dress and change clothes!"
