Chapter 156: Xiang Clan: The matter of Bishui County, is it a thief...
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know Sheng Sleeping Crane's thoughts, and after a while, he hugged the box wwĪ w.kgege.la
On this day, she was rare to work hard, and the three maids such as Lu Jin were not idle, so the master and servant were busy until late at night, and then they were placed under the reminder of Sheng Sleeping Crane. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The next day, Sheng Weiqiao, Sheng Weiwei, and Gongsun Yingjiang were woken up by their respective maids early in the morning, dressed up, and prepared to enter the palace.
was cleaning up, but someone outside came to tell him, saying that the Nan family was here.
Sheng Wei Qiao was slightly surprised when she heard this, although the first two times she met the Queen Mother were brought by the Nan family, but last time the eldest princess of Wuyang asked her for a privilege to enter the palace alone in order to refuse the Queen Mother's round, and later on the way back, the Nan family didn't say that she would accompany them this time, why did she suddenly come now?
But surprise is surprise, after all, it is an elder, even if it is uninvited, it can't hang people out.
Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly ordered: "Quickly invite my aunt to the main hall to serve tea, and tell her, I am halfway through the makeup here, my appearance is not tidy, it is not good to visit for the time being, please ask her to use some refreshments first, I will wait to arrive!"
After a while, she dressed up and rushed to the main hall, but saw that Sheng Sleeping Crane was already greeting Nan's family, and was saying: "Approaching the end of the year, if you want to come to your aunt as the mother of the Hou Mansion, she must be entangled in everything.
Nan shook his head and said: "Humo's grandfather and grandmother are far away in Sangzi, and your uncle is an only son, and I usually don't have a sister-in-law to move around, and my mother's house is far away, so it is inconvenient to come and go." said that it was a big festival, but in fact, except for some entertainment on your uncle's eunuch field, there was nothing important. ā
Speaking of this, he glanced at Sheng Weiqiao, who happened to come in, and said, "The pair of sisters of the Meng family are not fuel-efficient lamps, Qiao'er is simple-minded, and the concubine is still so young, I think Ying Jiang's child is also a person who doesn't like to talk - after all, you haven't been in Chang'an for a long time, and you haven't entered the palace many times, although the Queen Mother allows you to go directly to the palace gate to ask for a meeting, just let your children go to Xinshou Palace alone and deal with the children of the Meng family, I can't rest assured with your uncle." ā
Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly thanked: "I'm tired of my aunt!"
It was rare that Sheng Shenghe did not sow discord, and he also saluted Nan's chin: "Auntie's great grace, our brothers and sisters remember it in our hearts!" Although he gave Sheng Weiqiao an idea, so that she didn't need to rush to memorize all the books and notes sent by Huan Yehe, he was still very concerned about Huan Yehe's words that Meng 15 should stay away and use Meng 14 to avoid the calculations of this Meng family's 15th lady.
After all, Sheng Weiqiao's level of intrigue really couldn't reassure him.
Sheng Weiwei, who is traveling with her, is old and rests, so it's good not to hold back.
After all, Gongsun Yingjiang was born on Tortoiseshell Island, and his scheming methods have the atmosphere of the market, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and he is also unfamiliar with the invisible killing in the palace.
However, at the invitation of the Queen Mother, Sheng Sleeping Crane could not accompany him as a man, and Nan was willing to help, so he couldn't ask for it, so he naturally put away the alienation and estrangement that he wanted to stay away from Ningweihou's Mansion before, and showed a gesture of affection and affection.
"But how can it be a great favor to accompany you on errands?" But his previous impression on Nan was too bad, Nan listened to his words, but snorted coldly, "You kid, you love to see the outside! It seems that our two families are 108,000 miles apart, and we have to be respectful of any little thing! If you weren't for Brother Xinzhang's flesh and blood, I really don't like to see you!"
"This thing is easy to do, the next time I hear my aunt coming, I will take the hat and put it on, and then come out to see my aunt." Sheng Sleeping Crane didn't care about her complaints, smiled and looked at the copper leak in the corner of the room, and said, "At this hour, will you leave right away or will you leave later?"
Nan and Sheng Weiqiao discussed it briefly, and they both thought that although the Queen Mother didn't say the time that day, it was better to go early or early, so she was respectful.
So Sheng Weiqiao and the three of them hastily had some breakfast, and then boarded the car with Nan's and set off - but although Nan's kindness, when they arrived at the palace gate, the news of asking to see came in, and after a while, a waiter with a dust-whisk came out, who was Sheng Weiqiao's guide to the palace when he first entered the palace, and he politely and firmly rejected Nan's pilgrimage: "Originally, Mrs. had such intentions, and the Queen Mother was very pleased." It's just unfortunate that Mrs. Xiang has something important to tell the Queen Mother today, so the Queen Mother has spoken, except for a few young ladies who have already made an appointment, everyone else is not seen today!
When Nan heard this, his heart sank, and he asked Chensha to stuff a heavy purse into him, and asked in a low voice: "Since Duchess Zheng Guo has something important to do, will my nieces and nephews go to the palace too much to disturb the Queen Mother?"
She thought that since she couldn't get in, then it was best for Sheng Weiqiao and the others not to go, so they came here today, mainly because the Queen Mother personally sent the words, but she didn't want to go to the Xinshou Palace to flatter her--But Father-in-law Tian smiled and said: "This is okay! After all, Mrs. Xiang didn't enter the palace alone, but brought all the young ladies of the Meng family who had not yet left the cabinet, and after Miss Sheng and a few people went in, she happened to be a companion with the young ladies of the Meng family!"
When he said this, the Nan family couldn't mention that Sheng Weiqiao and the others should not enter the palace, so they could only sigh and pull Sheng Weiqiao to tell a few words, and watched her lead Sheng Weiqiao and Gongsun Yingjiang into the palace gate with Tian's father-in-law.
Sheng Weiqiao and the others are not familiar with Father-in-law Tian, and there are rules in the palace that they should not make noise, so they are very silent along the way.
Half an hour later, finally arrived at the Xinshou Palace, Xu was because of Mrs. Xiang's coming, but today the Queen Mother used the main hall, as usual, Father-in-law Tian went in first to report, and got the permission of the Queen Mother.
Before they entered the palace this time, they reminded each other to act respectfully, and they would do their every move according to the rules without raising their heads.
After the Empress Dowager Meng said "flat", and ordered "give the seat", sat on the three pastel gold and gold embroidery stools brought by the palace people, and the palace maid offered fragrant tea, and after gently thanking them, they each took the plum green painted royal clothes yellow peony flowers and leaves painted gold circle foot tea bowl in their hands, Fang raised his head slightly, and peeked at the top of the Danqi.
On the throne of the red sandalwood girdle and the phoenix title of the group longevity pattern on the head, the Empress Dowager Meng is sitting on her knees, and the Queen Mother is wearing a set of fifty percent of the new regular clothes, the purple bottom of the four Ruyi Rui cloud pattern wide sleeves and the collar of the short shirt expose the collar of the double shirt, one is light purple, and the other is painted white.
The waist is tied with a white jade gold box and five clouds holding a wide belt in the middle of the day, and the water-colored bottom elastic ink landscape skirt tied under it may be because of the number of washes, most of the ink color is already very light, and the landscape patterns in many places even have intermittent traces.
I don't know if it was the last time I visited Tufu, I heard that the Empress Dowager Meng had recovered from a serious illness for a few months, Sheng Weiqiao looked at it now, and always felt that although the Empress Dowager Meng combed her high bun meticulously, the twelve tree hairpins on it were shining under the candle flame with the unique grace of the heavenly family, and the face decorated with fat powder was also good, but the look in her eyes was like the dress that the Queen Mother was wearing at the moment.
The Queen Mother looked at Sheng Weiqiao and the three, smiled slightly, and said to a middle-aged beautiful woman wearing a first-class lady hairpin dress: "This is Sheng Shixiong's granddaughter and great-granddaughter, two days ago, because of the matter of Bishui County, Mrs. Ning Weihou led her into the palace to explain to the mourning family, and the mourning family originally said some trivial things, and there was nothing to worry about. As a result, as he spoke, he casually assigned an errand to this girl named Wei Qiao, and I didn't expect her to have any insight - who knew that it was a mistake, and the girl was helpless, but the brother in the family was a well-chested person, and he actually saw the flaw at a glance!"
Sheng Weiqiao speculated that the middle-aged beautiful woman should be the Xiang family of the Duchess of Zheng Guo, originally heard that this Xiang family is not very popular with Zheng Guogong, although it is the continuation of the queen mother who personally chose Zheng Guogong, and was awarded the title of the serious imperial court, but in the Guogong Mansion, it seems that the biological mother of Meng Lijiang, who is the fifteenth Meng Lijiang, has suffered from Zheng Guogong's partiality, and does not respect this housewife very much-Sheng Weiqiao guessed that this Xiang family Xu is posture is not very good?
However, this will look at Xiang's face like a full moon, thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, Qiong nose and cherry lips, skin is crystal like snow, and the figure is also concave and convex, very charming, looking at only thirty people, it is the charm and charm, which is far from the resentful woman in the deep house that Sheng Weiqiao imagined before.
"I'm really stupid!" Sheng Weiqiao laughed secretly, "This is Meng Shishi's mother-in-law, Meng Shishi's appearance is not bad, how ugly can this mother be?"
I was also curious that Meng 15's appearance may not be above Meng 14, and his biological mother didn't know if she was extraordinarily beautiful or extraordinarily powerful, so she compared this to the Xiang family?
She thought about it here, and Xiang's eyes turned red: "This is really God's mercy! Otherwise, the courtiers will never see Boheng again in this life!"
Before he finished speaking, tears had already fallen.
"Why are you crying? It's a good thing that the child has news. Empress Dowager Meng sighed, "Although I was a little injured, everyone found it, and I came back to Chang'an to slowly raise it - you cry like this, others still think something bad has happened!"
When Xiang heard this, he hurriedly wiped his face and asked for sin: "The courtiers have lost their manners, please forgive me!"
Empress Dowager Meng waved her hand to show that she didn't care, but then she sent the girls away: "The mourning family asked someone to set up melons and fruits and refreshments for you in the side hall, you go over and play!
The girls below responded in unison, and when they left the hall, Sheng Weiqiao suddenly came to his senses, when he was at the gate of the palace, Gonggong Tian stopped the Nan family and did not let him enter the palace.
Although Empress Dowager Meng didn't say anything, Sheng Weiqiao thought about this section, and her cheeks were red: Okay, she thought she had come early enough, but she still fell behind the Xiang family and her party, and let Empress Dowager Meng wait for a long time?
She went out in the crowd with a red face, but she didn't know that in the main hall behind her, which slowly closed the door, Xiang's eyes kept wandering on her back, until she was blocked by the temple door.
At this time, the people in the palace were all credible, and the Xiang family and the Empress Dowager Meng had always been affectionate, and she was about to speak casually, she asked softly: "The Empress Dowager, the matter of Bishui County, Qin Cha has been checking with Bishui County for so long, and there is no clue." This Sheng family brother and sister is not well-known, they have only been in Chang'an for a few days, and they have suspected Ruru before, and they can still say that the Sheng sleeping crane is clever and knows how to vote for the favor of the imperial court! But this time the place where Boheng was found, and the clues obtained, actually pointed to Ruru...... Is this the sleeping crane who has seen everything so far at a young age, or is it ...... The thief shouts to catch the thief?!"
