Chapter 385: Yongyi Bo Mansion
Sheng Weiqiao subconsciously frowned when he heard this, and said, "Jingshu County Lord's family only went ashore yesterday, and it has only been a night, why is there an emergency?"
When he was on the ship, although Sheng Weiqiao ordered Yongyibo and his people to be courteous, this courtesy was also under surveillance.
Xu Lianshan assured that they had no chance of contacting the outside world.
In this way, if it wasn't for what happened in the other courtyard, wouldn't they have been in contact with their subordinates just after they went ashore?
However, the power of the Huan family of Bishui County is said to have not reached the ...... of Nanfeng County So is it the eyes and ears of the Huan family, or is it the person left behind by Huan Guanlan?
Sheng Weiqiao's mind was racing, and while he was thinking about it, Feng Shi next to him had already asked: "Since yesterday when a guest stayed in the courtyard, until now, can anyone go to visit?"
The maid shook her head and said, "The steward who came to report the news didn't say anything about it, so I don't think I came." ”
Feng Shi asked again: "How is the garrison of the other courtyard?"
The maid said: "The lord instructed the steward to arrange a courtyard with the highest courtyard wall, because I heard from the county lord that the guest was noble and had an extraordinary background, and the steward specially temporarily dispatched a group of young and strong family members from other Zhuangzi to escort the guests, so as not to disturb the distinguished guests by any accidents." ”
"It's really a master to contact, and I can't find out about it. Sheng Weiqiao muttered, "Since our steward only helped to report the news, and didn't say anything else, I don't think they had a mistake in the other courtyard, but they received some news." ”
Feng Shi said softly: "Why should my son bother? This Nanfeng County, but our family's one-acre and three-point land, no matter how well-informed they are, even if Huan Guanlan has left a lot of back-ups, how can they turn the sky in this place? You just have to bring someone over to meet with the county lord!"
"Mother, I know!" Sheng Weiqiao said, "The county lord of Jingshu is a smart person, and now that people are on our family's territory, most of them will not do anything to make us unhappy." I'm worried about what she's getting into...... I don't know what it is?"
She got up as she spoke, "Alas, I can't guess it here, I'd better go over and take a look! Let Xu Lianshan accompany him, he has always been meticulous in his work, don't worry!"
Half a day later, Sheng Weiqiao arrived at the courtyard outside the city.
It is true that this place is as the maid said, the walls of the courtyard are built very high, and there are young and strong men patrolling inside and out, although it is not good to wear swords according to the law, but they also carry whistle sticks and the like, and they are not unguarded with their bare hands.
"County Lord, because this courtyard is not far from the sea, when the three of us didn't reach an agreement with the Gongsun clan earlier, the pirates came ashore to make a nuisance, and they have been within the scope of looting. The subordinate who led the way explained to Sheng Weiqiao, "So the courtyards around here have been revised according to the standards for preventing pirates." Not only is the courtyard wall extremely high, but there are also many sentry positions inside, and there are many hounds to guard the gate...... Of course, this is all along the courtyard wall, and there is no shortage of pavilions and pavilions in the middle, so you can't snub the guests. ”
Sheng Weiqiao nodded and said, "The guests of this family are from an unusual background, and they are also very related to Mizhen, but it is not suitable to disclose their identities now...... You are waiting carefully, and you will do your own good!"
The subordinate even claimed to be.
At this time, the carriage entered the door, and when he got off the car, he saw Huan Yehe leading two maids waiting.
This Jingshu county lord was quite haggard when he was at sea before, and later after being picked up by Sheng Weiqiao on the boat, he was probably worried, and he grew a little more energetic after raising it for a while, but in the end it was not as radiant as when he was in Chang'an.
At this moment, he is wearing a light foundation embroidered over-the-shoulder peacock narrow-sleeved crepe short shirt, wrapped in a purple pearl brocade around his waist, a tulip skirt is tied underneath, combed with a hibiscus bun, a copper gilt dotted emerald inlaid bead stone begonia crane pattern head flower, and a pair of silver gilt dotted emerald decorated with red coral hairpins.
Sheng Weiqiao stepped forward to hold her hand and said, "You haven't done well yet, why do you still have to come out here to blow the wind?" It's already late autumn at this time, even if the weather in Nanfeng County is warm, you have to start raising some body...... Why do you have to see the outside world like this?"
Huan Yehe smiled faintly and said, "Where is it so weak? Besides, I have been on the ship before, and the place is so big, if you want to take a walk, you can only go around the cabin room." Now that I'm finally on the shore, it's time to walk more. ”
"Because I was afraid of leaking the news, I didn't tell my parents and them about your companionship in advance. Sheng Weiqiao asked with concern, "This courtyard was packed up in a hurry, can you get used to living there?" If you are not used to it, I will pick it for you again, my family still has a lot of houses near here. What do people eat under the furnishings, and what requirements do you have, but don't be polite!"
"The Sheng family's financial resources in Nanfeng County, we have long been like thunder. Huan Yehe smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't save your family...... However, although Bishui County is not close to Nanfeng County, it is more or less in the south. Our family has lived in Chang'an for so many years, and now that I have come here, I feel more cordial, and there is nothing unaccustomed. ”
After such a greeting, Sheng Weiqiao went to the back hall to meet Yongyibo and his wife, and speaking of which, it was the first time she had officially met Huan Yehe's family.
When I was at sea before, due to the abrupt doubts about the appearance of Huan Yehe's family, and considering that Yongyibo and his wife were old after all, and they had only been tormented in the hands of the pirates for a while, even Huan Yehe's young daughter was haggard, they must be more shapely, and those who came and went may not be able to bear it, Sheng Weiqiao only saw Huan Yehe a few times, and for the rest of the Huan family, he only asked Xu Lianshan and Wu Da to come forward on their behalf, and they went to visit and sent a lot of things.
At this time, I peeked at it, Yongyibo's family looked dignified and fair-skinned, and looking at their expressions and temperaments, they were probably honest people.
They are not very willing to accept Sheng Weiqiao's courtesy, saying that if it were not for Sheng Weiqiao, the family would be buried at sea, this kindness is one of them, and Sheng Weiqiao's current identity is also higher than them, so they should give Sheng Weiqiao a gift.
The two sides pushed back and forth for a long time, Sheng Weiqiao said: "I am the same sister as the lord of Jingshu County, and I see that you are also like the relatives in your own family, plus the relationship between the clumsy husband Mizhen and the Duke of Huan, you see you like this, but it makes me sad." ”
Huan Yehe then opened the round, and finally according to the world's exchange of rites...... But in the end, it's a bit confusing, because Rong Sleeping Crane is Huan Guanlan's disciple, so calculated, Huan Yehe, who is Huan Guanlan's granddaughter, is a generation shorter than Rong Sleeping Crane and his wife.
And Yongyibo and his wife's family from the beginning of the negotiation with Rong Sleeping Crane is Huan Yehe, because Huan Ye contract Rong Sleeping Crane seems to be old, the earliest is not much trust in each other, no less temptation to each other, is to also vague the topic of generation.
So much so that at this time, Sheng Weiqiao really couldn't shout "niece" to Huan Yehe, and now he can only make mistakes and make mistakes.
After some greetings, Sheng Weiqiao apologized for his parents and family for not coming forward to receive Yongyibo's family, this is not that Sheng Lanci and his wife deliberately neglected Yongyibo's mansion, but the whereabouts of Huanye's family still need to be covered up, and with the status of Sheng Lanci and his wife in Nanfeng County, how can the person who personally went out to greet him not attract attention?
This is very clear to the whole Yongyi Bo Mansion, and they have repeatedly said that it is okay.
Finally walked through the scene, and after a few words, Huan Yehe proposed to invite Sheng Weiqiao to sit in the courtyard where he lived.
The courtyard where she lives occupies a smaller area than Zhu Huan's Xiaozhu, but compared with the boudoir in the Yongyi Bo's Mansion in Chang'an City, where every inch of land is valuable, it is also spacious.
Because this villa is not particularly important in the Sheng family's industry, Sheng Weiqiao's family seems to have basically never lived in person before, and the scenery and furnishings here are of course very ordinary.
Only a rose in the courtyard, due to the warm atmosphere of Nanfeng County, it is late autumn at this time, and it is still full of dazzling, fragrant and colorful.
Huan Yehe asked people to move tables and chairs under the rose flower stand, and the people made tea and took the fruits and put them on the table, Fang waved his hand to make everyone retreat, and said in a low voice: "My family received the news this morning, Chang'an has changed drastically: King Gaomi was suddenly poisoned, Qi Jianxun was not there, the prince couldn't suppress the scene, and after being attacked by Meng Guiyu overnight, he quickly retreated! Now Chang'an has fallen into the hands of Meng Guiyu, and King Gaomi's faction is retreating towards the western frontier!"
“…… What about my grandfather?!" Sheng Weiqiao was startled and hurriedly asked, "I don't know if you have any news?"
Huan Yehe looked at her a little strangely: "Kang Zhao, you really care about it, you didn't think about it, King Gaomi is so good, how could he be poisoned?"
Sheng Weiqiao was surprised: "Didn't he fight Meng Guiyu's death for a few days?"
"Do you think Meng Guiyu did it?" Huan Yehe shook his head and said, "Meng Guiyu has a shallow foundation, where did he come from such a skill? Even if a large number of Meng clan's people died and Meng Boqin defected to Ruru, so that many Meng clan's henchmen had to join him, but it was only a few days before and after?
Sheng Weiqiao heard the meaning of her words, his eyes froze, and he said in a low voice: "...... do you suspect?"
"It's not suspicion, it's certainty!" Huan Yehe's eyes flashed, and he said, "This must have been done by your husband...... So those elders in Chang'an don't need to worry about it at all! How could Mi Zhen not take care of them?"
"The war is chaotic, but I hope there will be no accidents!" Sheng Weiqiao was still very confident in Rong Sleeping Crane, but because he didn't see the safety of Old Lady Feng and the others with his own eyes, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't dare to say too much, so he only groaned, "Thank you for telling me the news...... If my grandfather has three long and two short in Chang'an, we don't know how to explain to the Feng family when we look back, and we will have no shame to face my grandfather in the future!"
Huan Yehe noticed that she didn't mention Mrs. Sheng and his wife, because she knew that Mrs. Ming was not Sheng Weiqiao's grandmother, and it was okay if there was some estrangement between grandparents and grandchildren, and Mrs. Sheng, as Sheng Weiqiao's grandfather, had always been said to be very fond of Sheng Weiqiao's granddaughter.
At this time, Sheng Weiqiao didn't say a word...... Huan Yehe's mind turned, and he didn't break this point, but said: "The reason why I am in a hurry to invite you over is not for this matter. Because even if I don't tell you this news, sooner or later Mi Zhen will send someone to report to you, and there will be detailed news about my grandfather and others. ”
After a pause, she said, "The reason why I asked you to come here is because ...... Meng Guiyu!"
"Meng Guiyu?" Sheng Weiqiao was slightly stunned, a little surprised, "Do you also have any news about him?"
