Chapter 255: Lord Huihe
Because of the tireless efforts of Xu Zijing and his wife during this time, Sheng Weiqiao has no resentment towards Xu Caikui at this time, but after all, there is no friendship between the two, so he shook his head: "Eighth sister and Ying Jiang are both at home, and now my brother has entered the examination room, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave myself, but I can only bother another day." ”
This answer was also expected by Xu Caikui, she sighed secretly, and didn't say anything, only said: "Then I'll send you back!"
It was neither early nor late for them to go out today, and when they left at this moment, there were still many carriages hurrying from all directions of Chang'an.
And there are very few carriages that have already left after the exam, after all, it is not yet at this time when the Gongyuan is closed, and the normal examination is rarely necessary to say a conversation at the door.
At present, as far as they look, their team is going against the current, and it is naturally difficult and slow.
Even when passing through an alleyway, you have to stop and let the carriage on the opposite side pass first...... This is as it should be, after all, this will leave the carriage at the gate of the Gongyuan, the scholars are already there, and the rest of the people do not need to enter, it is not a big problem to leave early and leave late;
For such a big thing, if you can do it conveniently, you naturally have to make it convenient for others.
But not long after they stopped, a carriage came to a stop with their windows brushed against them, and someone inside shouted: "Hey!
Xu Caikui was stunned and said, "It's not blocked!
"Could it be that this is not the carriage that sent the scholar to the Gongyuan?" it was Sheng Weiqiao, because he had come to see the house in the vicinity with Sheng Sleeping Crane before, and said casually when he heard this, "But the family lives in this alley? In that case, we are in the way of others." ”
Because the two carriages are now close together, she didn't deliberately lower her voice, she heard it clearly, and after a little silence, a slightly excited voice asked cautiously: "But Miss Sheng San is in the car?"
"Qingfang County Lord?!" Sheng Weiqiao frowned when he heard this, Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion is not near here, early in the morning, this county lord and a group of scholars crowded the road, and ran to the vicinity of the Gongyuan to do something?
Otherwise, why make a special statement to greet yourself?
She was really annoyed in her heart: how much did this county lord hate Sheng Sleeping Crane?
It's just that he, a person who has been slighted by Sheng Sleeping Crane repeatedly, never thought of revealing Sheng Sleeping Crane's life experience to the Meng clan to retaliate, even if the county lord of Qingfang didn't do it directly, but this practice of repeatedly paying attention to Sheng Sleeping Crane and even taking the initiative to approach him, how could he not deliberately trap Sheng Sleeping Crane in danger?!
Thinking of this, she said in an indifferent tone, "Hello county lord! Xu Shimei and I from Ningwei Hou Mansion have just finished sending off our respective brothers, and now we have urgent matters to go back, I can't go over to say hello to you, and I want to bear with me if I neglect the county lord's place!"
Saying that, he ordered the coachman, "Drive a few steps forward, don't get in the way of the county lord!"
In the carriage over there, the county lord of Qingfang heard the resistance and alienation in her words, thinking of the girl's disgust and admonition at the lantern festival before, the corners of her mouth showed a touch of bitterness, and she was about to speak, but who knew that her sister Huihe, who was in the same car with her, frowned, raised the curtain of the car and asked: "Who are you? How dare you be so rude to our sisters? Or do you think that you can scare us by lifting out the signboard of Ningwei Hou's Mansion?!"
Seeing this, the county lord of Qingfang hurriedly pulled her and motioned her to restrain herself.
Sheng Weiqiao over there was also stunned, but he didn't expect that the county lord of Qingfang was not alone in the carriage, and the girl who heard this open mouth said that she was a sister to the county lord of Qingfang, and she thought that she was the youngest daughter of the Gaomi Wang couple, that is, the real blood sister of Sheng Sleeping Crane, the county lord of Huihe.
Probably because he had always been Sheng Sleeping Crane was his brother before, and he was used to calling this person "brother" in the past two years, when Sheng Weiqiao saw the county lord of Qingfang before, even if he knew that she was Sheng Sleeping Crane's sister, he didn't think anything about it.
At this time, I met Sheng Sleeping Crane's sister, and when I thought that this person was really qualified to chase Sheng Sleeping Crane and shout "brother", my heart inexplicably swelled up with a sense of loss.
Especially because the county lord of Huihe was angry, he specially raised the curtain and asked, Sheng Weiqiao's side, looking through the gap in the curtain, although he couldn't see her whole body, but most of the face that was exposed, he could also see that the county lord was eighteen or nineteen years old, with handsome eyebrows and handsome eyes, not to mention his pretty face, and most importantly, Sheng Weiqiao could easily find out the similarities with Sheng Sleeping Crane from between her eyebrows and eyes.
"I was really stupid at the beginning, I once thought he was my brother of the same father and mother!" Sheng Weiqiao's heart felt as if he had been knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and the ups and downs were all flooded for a while, and he thought self-deprecatingly, "Obviously, he doesn't look like me at all! Not even like any Sheng family...... Well, I can't be blamed for this, after all, they all thought he was following his so-called 'outer room' biological mother. ”
She was stunned for a moment before answering the county lord Huihe: "I am the sister of the examiner Sheng Sleeping Crane, what I just said is the truth, and I don't mean to offend the two, please don't misunderstand!"
"Sister She's been in a bad mood lately, Miss Sheng San, please don't take it to heart!" Hearing this, the county lord of Qingfang saw that the corners of Huihe's mouth twitched, and it seemed that he was still planning to not give up, so he held her down with a headache, and said loudly, "We came to the courtyard in this alley on behalf of the concubine to clean up, and originally thought that since we met Miss Sheng San and Miss Xu here, it would be better to go in and sit together, but the two of them have urgent matters, so we naturally dare not delay, so don't pass by!"
Over there, Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly said: "The county lord is serious, and the county lord Xie will forgive me...... Goodbye!"
After watching their carriage go away, the county lord of Huihe asked the county lord of Qingfang puzzled: "Eldest sister, it's just the sister of a mere scholar, not to mention that the gentleman has just entered, and it is unknown whether he can be named on the gold list, even if he wins the top prize, how can he compare with a family like ours? Why are you so polite to that little girl? Just the tone in which the little girl just spoke to you, how can you teach her a lesson and give her a long memory!"
"Shut up!" said Lord Qingfang's face was not very good-looking, "You don't forget to cause trouble all the time...... Have you forgotten the purpose of our trip?
The county lord of Huihe was silent all of a sudden.
After a while, she said timidly: "Eldest sister, do you say it doesn't matter if I go to this courtyard? ”
“…… Let's try it!" The county lord of Qingfang frowned, obviously having no bottom in his heart, and sighed, "Go back to the mother concubine and hold it accountable, you can put all the responsibility on my head!
The county lord of Huihe breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and smiled: "I know that the eldest sister loves us the most!"
…… At this time, in the carriage that had left the alley for some distance, Xu Caikui was also curiously asking, "Sister Shi, do you know the county lord of Qingfang?"
"When I wanted to buy a house before, I happened to meet her as the proprietor, but the business didn't work out, so I asked for a good one. Sheng Weiqiao secretly scolded the county lord of Qingfang for causing trouble in her heart, and said nonsense, "I don't know why, she paid attention to me after that." You know, we haven't been in Chang'an for a few days, and I don't think I'm likable enough to make her feel like I am. Although we don't know much about this county lord, our younger brother has heard about her being carried back to Chang'an from Bishui County last year, so how dare I get close to her?"
The misleading remarks were very successful, and Xu Caikui's face changed when he heard this, and he said: "That little prince is said to be a wasted person, and even his face is ...... How could this county lord come up with his sister's idea?"
"I don't know if it's a matter of this, but apart from this kind of thing, I don't think I have anything to say to her? Her son is still young, so he shouldn't take a fancy to me, right? Then it's just my brother-in-law and brother-in-law. But Huaiyuan Hou Yuan Liuguang's family background is not bad, as far as my father's current status is concerned, I may not be able to climb high, and the little prince of Gaomi Palace, although his status is noble, after all, something happened, and the requirements for choosing a wife will naturally drop a lot. Sheng Weiqiao frowned and said, "But she never said it explicitly, so you must not say it! Otherwise, if she says a few words casually, I won't be able to get off the stage! After all, such a thing, but there are rumors, it is not good for our girl's family after all." ”
Xu Caikui nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I'm measured!"
But I didn't want to tell outsiders, but my parents had to mention it, after all, the Xu family was already very sorry for this sister, in case she was calculated by the lord of Qingfang, she really followed Rong Qingdrunk that wasted person, this is called three generations of his family, how can he explain to the Sheng family? !
Next, because Sheng Weiqiao kept frowning and didn't speak, Xu Caikui thought that she was worried about being drunk and forcibly married by Rong Qing, so she comforted her a little, and saw that she was absent-mindedly perfunctory, sighed secretly, and stopped talking.
was silent all the way, and when she arrived at the door of Sheng Mansion, Sheng Weiqiao said a few words to her, and then said goodbye.
Walking through the weeping flower gate with Lu Qi, I don't know why, obviously this house is in the busiest time of the day, there are a group of subordinates doing their own things, and there are her cousins and nieces living in the left and right wings, the only thing that is missing is just a sleeping crane, Sheng Weiqiao felt lonely for no reason.
It's like all of a sudden there is a lack of very important people and things.
She raised her eyebrows, tried to throw this thought away, kicked up the corridor, returned to her room, asked about it, and when she went to send the exam, the house was safe, so she stretched and said, "Quickly untie this Laoshzi jewelry with me...... I've got to catch up on it!"
However, this day should be the rest she didn't have!
Only then did she call someone to wait for her to undress up the hairpin ring, take off her coat and skirt, and rushed into the inner room in a hurry, and lay down on the soft couch!
Sheng Weiqiao: ".................................................................."
Meng 14!!
I have a grudge against you???
PS: I forgot to make a long review for two days in a row!!
