Chapter 228: The Servants of Those Pit Masters......
That night, Sheng Weiqiao returned to the wing room in a depressed mood.
Because she slept too late, and she was not usually a particularly diligent person, so early the next morning, Sheng Shenghe got up and went to the small garden to fight a boxing and stand for a long time, went back to the room to bathe and change clothes, and took advantage of the time to drink tea after breakfast, called Sheng Xiang to him, and waved away to ask questions alone.
At this time, Sheng Weiqiao was still asleep in the embroidery tent......
Sheng Xiang was summoned by the eldest prince early in the morning, and when he arrived at the place, he saw that the left and right cleared the scene, and he still Sheng Sleeping Crane's most trusted Gongsun Xi personally guarded outside, and suddenly his heart was a "groan", he settled outside the threshold, and then walked in with a smile to say goodbye: "The eldest prince!"
"I told you to ask one thing. Sheng Sleeping Crane and Yan Yue said, "In the past two days, I have asked you to buy medicine, what kind of medicine did you buy, and what is it for?"
"Back to the eldest prince's words, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, when the third lady went to the Zhengguo Mansion to congratulate Miss Meng 14 on her birthday, because she heard Miss Meng Shiyi talk about Chongxinbo's experience, and heard that things like Menghan medicine and kitsch medicine can be obtained in the pharmacy. Sheng Xiang was apprehensive and considered the wording, "So when I thought about it the day before yesterday, I told the third lady to let the third miss send the little one to get some back and take a look, so as not to turn back to other people's ways and not know it!"
Sheng Sleeping Crane looked at him with a smile: "You really got it for them?"
"How is that possible?" Sheng Xiang lowered his head, looking very respectful, but in order to hide the tension in his eyes, he smiled and said, "Our third miss is so innocent and innocent, how can she use such a dirty thing to stain her eyes?
So the small one directly wrapped a bag of edible pollen, as well as a package of grains and orange peel ground fine powder, and said that it was a kitsch medicine and a sweat medicine, and took it to the third lady and them...... Anyway, those two packs of things, from the appearance and smell, look like the kitsch medicine and sweat medicine that are the same as the big road goods in the world are also half a catty to eight taels. The third lady is not an expert in this way, and they can't tell the difference between the real flattering medicine and sweat medicine aside, and they have a number in their hearts!"
He was very apprehensive in his heart, because he did give Sheng Weiqiao fake medicine, but the reason was not what he told Sheng Sleeping Crane, the so-called not wanting to let the real medicine and sweat medicine stain his young lady's eyes, but to implement the instructions of Old Lady Sheng before leaving.
Sheng Xiang is the son of the Sheng family, but because his parents and grandparents are all close servants of the old lady Sheng, or serve in the old lady's yard, he was born to get more attention and trust from the old lady.
This is also the reason why he was able to get the important task of being a pioneer for Sheng Sleeping Crane and his party this time.
Because......
It's like the Feng family and Xuan Yu Feng's heart wants to kill Sheng Sleeping Crane, I don't know that Sheng Sleeping Crane is not the heir of the Sheng family, let alone the old lady Sheng who has been living outside for many years, and he doesn't trust the Feng family, or the Feng family and Xuan Yu family behind the Feng family.
Therefore, when the Sheng family arranged for Sheng Sleeping Crane to go north to catch the exam, the old lady Sheng specially called Sheng Lanci to come to the front alone, and strongly said that Sheng Sleeping Crane and his entourage going north must be decided by him personally!
Sheng Lanci knew the old lady's thoughts well, and he couldn't laugh or cry, but because he knew that the old lady Sheng would never accept that in order for Sheng Weiqiao to have a brother to rely on in the future, he would give up the title of the eldest son of the Sheng family's house to outsiders, and even give the ancestral property of the Sheng family's ancestral hall to outsiders in the future.
Later, the Feng family knew about this, and in addition to laughing and laughing, for the sake of An Sheng's old lady's heart, he also specially called Sheng Xiang to him and revealed the Feng family's hole cards to him, so as to show that there was no malice towards Sheng Sleeping Crane, only maintenance.
But the old lady Sheng joined the army in his early years, and he was well versed in the truth that soldiers are not tired of deceit, and after hearing the news, he still refused to take it lightly, and still gathered people he thought were reliable, and acted as the vanguard and backbone of Sheng Sleeping Crane's northward journey.
In order to let these people do their best, the old lady Sheng not only made a heavy promise, but also emphasized the future of Sheng Sleeping Crane and the importance of the Sheng family, and several more important people at the beginning, such as Sheng Xiang, the old lady also took the time to talk in person one by one to encourage them.
The old lady's instructions to Sheng Xiang were very clear: to protect Sheng Sleeping Crane and Sheng Sleeping Crane's future by any means, and to try to maintain the relationship between him and Feng's mother and daughter.
At this time, you can see the importance of bloodline, the old lady Sheng is actually very face-saving to the Feng family, even if the Feng family marries the eldest son of the old lady's most important yuan, he has not given birth to a male heir for nearly 20 years, and even gave birth to a daughter, the old lady has never complained a word, let alone persuaded his son to take a concubine.
But at this time when the Feng family was happy after many years, and the "outer room" was able to stand on its feet in the Sheng family, the old lady still couldn't rest assured about the eldest daughter-in-law in the final analysis.
His original words to Sheng Xiang were: "This time, only a few younger generations of He'er went to Chang'an together, which is not only what the Xu family wants, but also my original intention." Because it is impossible for the Xu family and the children of the Ao family to help the Feng family deal with He'er, and Qiao'er and Fu'er are both young and innocent, and they will never have the intention of murder......ing their brother! I'm afraid that Lan Ci will spoil his wife and daughter too much, and let others give that girl any instructions?"
As for Qiao'er's and Fu'er's attendants, the people who serve Qiao'er are all personally selected by the old family, and they are naturally obedient to the orders of the old family! As for the close attendants of the old family, although the third family has always followed the old family, some of these people may be confused after being instigated by outsiders...... It's also a must-have!"
Sheng Xiang was obedient and listened to the sound, and understood what the old lady really wanted to say: Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwei, the two Sheng family blood, must not fall into the reputation of murdering their brother!
Even if they really did this, then it must be outsiders such as Gongsun Yingjiang, Lu Jin, Lu Qi, Tian'er, and Sour Er, or their subordinates, who prostituted, instigated, used, trapped, and planted falsely...... Even the Feng family and the Xiao family can be cleared up! If they can't get rid of it, they will lead to trouble and push it to "outsiders", such as the Feng family, the Xuan Yu family, and the like!
All in all, Sheng Sleeping Crane must be protected, and the relationship between the Sheng family's heirs must also be protected!
Since Sheng Xiang received this order, after coming to Chang'an, he was naturally conscientious and did not dare to slack off!
When Sheng Sleeping Crane and his party arrived before, they lived in Ningweihou Mansion, and sent him to look at the house at Sheng Mansion, but he still had nothing to do.
Later, because of Xu Caikui's eviction order, the group moved back, but Sheng Xiang immediately began to carry out the order of the old lady Sheng, and quietly and meticulously watched and observed Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiqiao's and Sheng Weiwei's close attendants!
Due to the small place of the mansion, Sheng Xiang as the chief steward, in addition to the masters on him is the largest, the support is very convenient, and the cliché can also be interpreted as wanting to please a few little masters, so start with their close servants, so this thing is very shady.
Not to mention that Lu Jin and the others never imagined that they would be monitored by the Sheng family's son, even Gongsun Yingjiang didn't notice this defense.
Originally, because Sheng Weiqiao accompanied Sheng Sleeping Crane to the north, the plan was for his safety, not to mention wanting to harm him, Sheng Weiwei didn't want to be separated from Sheng Weiqiao, and Gongsun Yingjiang was purely to protect Sheng Weiqiao. After such a continuous surveillance, Sheng Xiang found nothing, and thought that the old lady was thinking too much.
As a result, a few days ago, he accidentally got a great secret: Green Brocade and Green Qi, Sheng Weiqiao's two confidants and big girls, suspected of inciting little maids such as Hibiscus Fence and Ju Fence, plotted to murder Sheng Sleeping Crane!
Although they didn't reach the point where they wanted to kill Sheng Sleeping Crane, they also pointed to Sheng Sleeping Crane's career!
When Sheng Xiang found out, he was crazy at that time!
With the old lady Sheng's thousands of instructions in front, he would never believe the so-called "Sister Green Brocade and Green Qi, they are because the third lady has been offending the eldest son, and I am worried that the eldest prince will retaliate against the third lady after the eldest prince is developed", he felt that this must be the Feng family, oh no, his own eldest lady is not like such a vicious person.
Then eighty percent is the handwriting of the Feng family or the Feng family, which is using the banner of the third lady of his own family to target the sleeping crane!
How could Sheng Xiang let such a thing happen?!
He was thinking about how to stop Lu Jin and the others, at this time, Sheng Weiqiao summoned him and asked him to get some sweat medicine and charm medicine...... Sheng Xiang snorted coldly in his heart at that time: Open your eyes?
Although he is not Sheng Weiqiao's close attendant, as the son of the family, Sheng Weiqiao's status in the Sheng family is so important, which son of the family has not heard of her bits and pieces and preferences?
If this young lady heard what Miss Meng Shiyi from Chongxin Bofu said, what kind of dim sum is delicious, what kind of drink is delicious, or which kind of clothing is the most fashionable and which hairpin ring is the most romantic...... It was only natural to send him to collect it.
Sweat pills?
Tricks?
After his own lady heard about it, even if she wanted to be on guard, Bacheng asked him to inquire and find someone to try, and when everything was clear, she would tell her the summary and description...... How is it possible to ask for a physical object to be sent to the boudoir and seen in person?
Sheng Xiang suspected at that time that this sweat medicine and enchanting medicine were prepared to deal with Sheng Sleeping Crane!
He couldn't be sure if Sheng Weiqiao was persuaded by Lu Jin Luqi, or if Lu Jin Lu Qi found an excuse to deceive Sheng Weiqiao, but since he suspected that it was used to deal with Sheng Sleeping Crane, he definitely couldn't give it!
It's just that Sheng Xiang is worried that if he doesn't give it, it will be a small matter to annoy Sheng Weiqiao, what if Sheng Weiqiao gets it from elsewhere?
After all, he knew that his young lady had been in Chang'an for a while, and the Queen Mother had met her more than once, in this case, it was not necessary to say that she would not be able to get such a harmful thing if she left her.
So he thought about it and decided that Sheng Weiqiao would give it to him if he wanted it, but he really couldn't give it!
Anyway, whether it was Sheng Weiqiao's idea or Green Brocade Luqi, they made their own decisions...... As long as it is to attack Sheng Sleeping Crane, it will definitely not be public, after finding that the medicine has no effect, even if he asks Sheng Xiang in private, Sheng Xiang will not be able to push two or six five, and all of them will be pushed to the head of the unwarranted medicine shop!
I don't believe it, Sheng Weiqiao's master and servant can still go to the so-called pharmacy in person to settle accounts for this dishonorable medicine? !
But the errand given by Mrs. Sheng was not only to protect Sheng Sleeping Crane, but also to ensure that there would be no gap between the four members of the big house, so Sheng Xiang would never dare to tell Sheng Sleeping Crane about the plot of the Green Brocade and his suspicion that Sheng Weiqiao asked for sweat medicine and flattering medicine.
…… You must know that the reason why he was willing to help Lu Jin fool Sheng Weiqiao last time was to implement Old Lady Sheng's instructions?
So at this moment, Sheng Xiang can only half-truth, but he knows that the third lady in his family is young, and this is the first time he has left his parents' side.
But Sheng Sleeping Crane is not, this eldest prince has been living abroad for seventeen years, it is said that he has suffered a lot to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and he is a reading seed, and he is expected to be on the apricot list at a young age, which is extraordinary!
This person is not as easy to deceive as Sheng Weiqiao, how can Sheng Xiang not be afraid that he will see the clues, peel back the cocoon to find out the truth, and have resentment towards Sheng Weiqiao's master and servant and the Feng family who are far away in Nanfeng County at this moment?
At this moment, after seeing Sheng Sleeping Crane listening, he was silent, and his heart was beating suddenly, he was afraid that he would say too much and make many mistakes, and he was afraid that Fang Cai's words would not be enough to dispel Sheng Sleeping Crane's suspicions.
was hesitating to himself, but he heard Sheng Sleeping Crane laugh and said, "So that's the case...... You're doing a good job! This kind of thing is really not suitable for satisfying the curiosity of the obedient girl! But you also know the temper of the obedient girl, and if you know that you have taken the fake one for her, you will definitely be angry! In this way, if she asks you why the medicine does not work, you will say that she used too little!"
When Sheng Xiang heard this, he almost didn't lie on the ground, and secretly said that he was lucky to have a hand, but he didn't expect his young lady to move so fast, this has already been used by the eldest prince, and the eldest prince still noticed it?!
He hurriedly said good things to Sheng Weiqiao: "Eldest son, in fact, this time it is mainly the idea of the young lady, and the young lady is also blinded by others......"
"Shut up!" Sheng Shenghe interrupted slowly, "Grandfather specially selected you to come to Chang'an, I know what you want! You yourself have to think about it, at your age, and you are the housekeeper now, if I win the list in the future, you will have to follow me and be my housekeeper! However, if I don't want you, you should go back to Nanfeng County, and the Sheng family will send someone else...... There is no shortage of ready-made stewards in the left and right families now, although you are the son of the family and have won the trust of your grandfather, but your grandfather will not force me, the eldest grandson, for the sake of you!"
He looked at Sheng Xiang coldly, "Do you want to follow me, or go back to Nanfeng County...... The choice is yours!"
"But don't blame me for not reminding you, the most disliked thing I like here is self-righteous people!!"
