Chapter 16 Grass in the Court

When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he thought it was a matter of urgency, so he hurriedly sat up straight, and was a little annoyed that he got up so late, shouldn't he be wrong?

As a result, Yu Feng said: "Mrs. Nan said that when the spring is opened, their in-laws Wu Ying will enter the court, and their families, including Miss Xu, who only married last year, will also return to Chang'an." Because Wu Ying's deceased mother is a southerner, although she has been an official in the north for many years, her taste has always been southern, but the chefs of Ningweihou Mansion are specialized in northern cuisine, and southern cuisine can be made, but it is not authentic enough. I heard that we have a lot of cooks here, so I wanted to borrow the two of us to entertain my in-laws at that time. ”

There are indeed a lot of cooks in the south in Sheng Mansion at this time, Sheng Weiqiao and others brought two cooks when they sent Rong Mianhe to the exam; later when Mrs. Sheng came over, they brought three; Feng Jia and Xuan Yujia accompanied Sheng Lan's father and daughter to the north, and there were more cooks, and there were two on each boat.

So much so that there are eleven southern cooks in the full mansion at this time.

In the ridiculous words of Mrs. Zhan, when Sheng Weiqiao went out of the pavilion when he turned around, he didn't need to find another cook for the flowing water table.

"What else is there to refer to in such a trivial matter?" Sheng Weiqiao really cried and laughed after hearing this, and said, "Why don't you just borrow two cooks?" Or Aunt Nan's mother opened her mouth, and she was embarrassed to refuse?"

"I knew you wouldn't take it to heart!" Xuan Yu Feng stiffened his face, "You just thought of borrowing a cook? Why didn't you think of it, and expressed your thoughts and concern for the young lady of the Xu family? Look at you, I don't understand the world at all, I'm anxious to see the teaching of the stitches here, and you are still careless!"

Sheng Weiqiao was very helpless: "That can't help the seedlings grow! I've been scattered for more than ten years, and it's only been a few months, so you expect me to do this and that...... How is this realistic?"

"Then you should learn!" Xuan Yu Feng rubbed the corners of his forehead and sighed, "Even if you don't live with your in-laws, you must have to move around during the New Year's holidays, why don't you learn some perfunctory kung fu?"

This perfunctory kung fu learned the wedding period as soon as he learned it, and it was not that no one came to Sheng Weiqiao in the middle, but they were all blocked by Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Lanci and others with "The girl's wedding date is imminent, and now she is busy packing up the dowry", just trying to strive for a dedicated environment, so that Xuan Yu Feng can pour as many useful tricks as possible into Sheng Weiqiao.

The only exception was Huan Yehe, who came to tell Sheng Weiqiao that at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, she instigated Luo Wan's wife and Fang Xinniang to find her trouble: "Miss Zhao San's personality is not the kind of person who wants to take revenge when she is disappointed in love, and she can't afford to lose that person." Luo Wanwen and Fang Xinniang listened to other people's words, thinking that you deliberately stepped on Miss Zhao San, so they would go to you for trouble. ”

Sheng Weiqiao was actually not very interested in this matter, in her mind, it was nothing more than a little contradiction between girls, and Fang Xinniang was afraid when she heard that she was going to find her parents...... There is no need to pursue such disputes.

But this time it was an accident.

Because Huan Yehe said: "You have also seen that person, it is last year's list, Huang Ziyue." ”

"Who do you say?!" Sheng Weiqiao was stunned, "Huang Ziyue!?, the son of Huang Xianyun, the head of the household?"

Seeing Huan Yehe nodding, the girl felt a little incredible, "Have I offended him?"

He said that he admired Miss Zhao San, and he didn't like you to make Miss Zhao San lose face. Huan Yehe said hesitantly, "Just listen to this kind of rhetoric, don't take it seriously!"

Although Sheng Weiqiao has seen Huang Wuyi, but it is only a one-sided relationship, and he can't talk about it, so he is a little curious when he hears it at this moment: "Why don't you say that you don't have to take it seriously?"

Huan Yehe said disdainfully: "This is because you don't know much about Huang Ziyue, that's why you think so." This person became famous at a young age, known as a prodigy in Shuzhong, but he is not a nerd who can only study! If he really loves Miss Zhao San, how can he be so obvious if he wants to target you for Miss Zhao San, I found him after a little inquiry? This is clearly an excuse!"

"Then what does he want to do?" Sheng Weiqiao wondered, "Under the guise of Miss Zhao San, he came to trouble me...... Does he want to offend me and Miss Zhao San at the same time?"

"I haven't figured out the specifics yet. Huan Yehe shook his head and said, "But ......"

She narrowed her eyes and paused before continuing, "Huang Ziyue has been valued and appreciated by King Gaomi since he came to Chang'an. ”

"Are you saying that he did this for the sake of the prince of Gaomi?" Sheng Weiqiao pondered for a moment, still feeling incomprehensible, "But this matter doesn't seem to make any sense?"

She and Luo Wan's wife and Fang Xinniang just had a few words of quarrel, even if they started later, that is, they just pulled and pulled, although the three of them are the pearls of their palms, and the elders of each family will inevitably favor their own family members, but Fang Xinniang and Luo Wan's elders should not be impulsive enough to stand on Rong Qingxi's side for such a little thing, determined to stand with the Mizhen County Mansion from now on, right?

On the contrary, it was Huang Wuyi who pulled Zhao Taocheng without authorization, and it is still a question whether the Zhao family is happy or not!

"I'll inquire again. Huan Yehe frowned and said, "Huang Ziyue is a man after all, and it is not very convenient for me to contact him...... However, this person became famous at a young age, even if he relied on talent, the city government may not be shallow. So you'd better stay at home honestly during this time, and don't go out!"

Sheng Weiqiao was also very busy, and had no intention of going out, so he responded to the words and thanked her for her kindness.

But after thanking him, he was even more puzzled: "The previous Jingshu County Lord found Mizhen to cooperate, mainly to avenge her grandfather Huan. Although it is not clear that the people she wants to take revenge include the old department that does not include General Zhou, it must include the Shu sisters! At this time, Mi Zhen and the Shu sisters have frequent contacts, and they seem to have become the proud people in front of the Shu sisters. Why does the county lord Jingshu still want to help me?"

Although Rong Sleepy Crane told her that approaching the Shu sisters was just for use, and he would not give them the heirs as the sisters wished, but such a big thing is empty, can Huan Yehe believe it?

But after thinking about it, Huan Yehe didn't need to believe Rong Sleeping Crane, she only needed to hold the evidence that Rong Sleeping Crane was a closed disciple of Huan Guanlan.

If Rong Mianhe really turned his back on the teacher and sincerely took refuge in the Shu sisters, Huan Yehe would directly shake out his hole card that had not been revealed in front of King Gaomi so far, and he would not believe that the Shu sisters would dare to accept him as their heirs!

At that time, in order to prevent Rong Sleeping Crane's possible revenge, the two sisters may kill Rong Sleeping Crane in turn?

If you speculate like this, Huan Yehe still maintains a position with Rong Sleeping Crane, so it makes sense to take care of himself as before.

Sheng Weiqiao temporarily put aside his suspicions about Huan Yehe and seriously thought about Huang Ziyue's plans.

But because she didn't know much about Huang Ziyue and Rong Qingyu, she thought about it for several days and didn't have a clue, and Xuan Yu Feng stared at her to learn this and that, so she left it behind, and planned to go back and talk to Rong Sleeping Crane.

At this time, it was already mid-February, and the dowry promised by the Sheng family to Sheng Weiqiao was completed under the temporary suspension of business and the full efforts of the three powerful families.

Chang'an City even ran to tell each other for this, calling friends to go to the wharf to see the handwriting of the three powerful families of Nanfeng County, the ships on the wharf that almost covered the sky and the sun, piled up like a mountain of goods, cages, all show the wealth of the three powerful families, and for a time I don't know how many people I envy and hate Rong Sleeping Crane.

Mrs. Xiang even went to the palace to tell Queen Meng about this, and there was no complaint in her tone: "If you were willing to tell Kang Zhao to your brother ...... at the beginning."

"It's not easy to move the starling brother in Bishui County today!" Queen Meng sneered before she finished listening, "Look at Kang Zhao's movement out of the pavilion, the middle starling brother can be seen in her house?!" The king of Mizhen County is such a talented and good-looking person, and he still personally went south to show his sincerity, and after the Sheng family and the others came to Chang'an, the Gaomi Wangfu even went out to show goodwill, so that they allowed to marry! Starling is very good in your eyes, in the eyes of the Sheng family, I am afraid that I will dislike marrying a maid of their family, and I am delusional about the idea of beating the pearl in the palm of their family?! Did you wake up or did you want to daydream?!"

"Even if she can't be our daughter-in-law, but our family has opened this mouth, if the Sheng family refuses, how much will it give some benefits, right?" Mrs. Xiang was robbed by her daughter, and her face was red, and she was dissatisfied, "I have always heard that you are good with that Kang Zhao, so you just help her talk to her at this time, and I don't know what my mother is in your eyes?"

Empress Meng didn't bother to pay attention to her: "Is Zheng Guogong's Mansion lacking you to eat or you to wear?" I remember that since Jiaoyu's mother and daughter went, the power of the backyard has returned to you, if you feel wronged, it is that you yourself will not enjoy happiness, and you can't complain about others! Cheng Tianjing stared at irrelevant people's things, and didn't want to think that it was Zheng Guogong's Mansion, did you hold it in your hand? People said that they were eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, and you were thinking about the pot before the bowl was served...... Are you thinking about it?"

Xiang said to Mrs.: "I'm so old, I have my own national mansion for food and clothing, and I want to save a few more money, isn't it for your brothers and sisters?"

"As the queen, I am embarrassed to worry about your inheritance?" Queen Meng said in annoyance, "If you want to save more private space for the starling, just say it...... But I'm not going to help you, it's up to you how much you can save for him. ”

"How can you say that?" Mrs. Xiang was anxious, "That's your sibling brother!

However, Empress Meng said coldly: "When I was wronged in the Zheng Guo Mansion before, I didn't see any difference between my brother and other brothers?"

"That's not that coquettish that slut is not good!" Mrs. Xiang defended her son, "Who of us didn't tremble at that time? Your brother doesn't love you, he can't help it, can't you be sympathetic to him?"

"I sympathize with him, who sympathizes with me?!" Empress Meng was annoyed, "Forget it, I don't have anything to say to you, if you don't die or starlings are going to die in the future, you don't want to enter the palace!"

As he spoke, he ordered Chun to come, "Send Mrs. Zheng Guo out of the palace!"

Mrs. Xiang was stomped by her daughter's desperate anger, shouting "You unfilial girl" all the way, and finally Chun couldn't see it, suggesting that the waiter had found something, gagged her, and pulled her to a secluded place to threaten: "If Madame is not afraid of losing face and is willing to be sent out of the palace like this, the slaves and maids don't mind." ”

Only then did he stop Mrs. Xiang and leave hatefully.

After she left, Empress Meng was also in a very bad mood, and sat in the hall with a calm face for a while before standing up and walking to the corridor of the palace outside to look at the court.

At this time, it is said that the spring flowers are blooming, but in fact, it is not yet the time when the flowers are in full bloom in March.

The queen stared at the grass for a long time, and suddenly had some self-pity thoughts: "I am about the same as this grass, when I was born, no one cared about it, and if I was trampled in the middle, no one would tell me to cherish it; later, when it grew just right, I thought I could decorate the courtyard and keep it for the time being, and then because there were flowers and other trees, I felt that it was useless, so I cut it down and burned it." ”

"In this process, even if the land grows these grasses, they don't care. ”

In fact, although the queen was very unhappy in the past, she rarely felt sorry for herself like this.

She didn't think it was because Mrs. Xiang had just entered the palace, what kind of person her own mother was, she had seen it clearly a long time ago, and she had no hope at all.

Therefore, Mrs. Xiang is unreasonable or emotional...... Empress Meng was indifferent.

The reason why today is so disturbing......

The queen was silent for a long time, so long that she was a little worried when she looked at Chunlai, who had come back from Mrs. Xiang out of the palace gate, and then she said lightly: "This palace remembers that two days ago, you seem to have said that the guard Sheng Xi asked to see this palace?"

Chunlai couldn't guess her joy and anger at the moment, and replied very carefully: "Hui Niangniang's words are like this: Sheng Xi's guard said that the king of Mizhen County is about to get married, and he wants to resign from the post of the guard of Wangchun Palace and return to the old master." ”

"......" Empress Meng was silent for a while, Chunlai even thought that she would not show it, Fang said lightly, "This palace is approved." ”
