Chapter 423: Travel
When Xiao described Li Shengxu to the Feng sisters here, Sheng Weiqiao had already returned to Zhu Huan Xiaozhu.
Looking at the familiar old house, the girl was originally depressed by her aunt's little calculation, and sighed sincerely: "It's better to be in your own home!"
Not to mention how many mansions the mansions he lived in when he arrived in Chang'an, although the Ningwei Hou Mansion is much more spacious, it is not as good as the Sheng Mansion in Nanfeng County, and secondly, the family is not as comfortable as their own.
It was the mansion that was purchased later after the arrival of Mrs. Sheng and her entourage, which was much larger than the Sheng Mansion, but in Chang'an, where every inch of land was expensive, it still couldn't be compared with the ancestral mansion of the Sheng family.
Sheng Weiqiao has lived in Chang'an for so long in the "small house", and then the place on the sea boat is even smaller, at this time I finally saw the boudoir that had been absent for more than half a year, looking at the surrounding gardens, rockery ponds and the same independent courtyard, the girl felt much happier!
Not only did she think so, but the maids such as Ju Li also laughed: "This mountain and water can be regarded as coming back!"
The people who stayed behind when Sheng Weiqiao went north had already prepared everything under the orders of the Feng family, and they would come out to serve together at this time...... Originally, Sheng Weiqiao didn't say a few words to her mother because she was worried about it, and she thought about going back to Chengchun Tai after packing up, but she overestimated her physical strength: after bathing and changing, she sat down and used some refreshments, so she couldn't help nodding tiredly.
In this situation, she quickly wiped her mouth and hands and helped her into the inner room.
It didn't take long for the girl to fall asleep.
She didn't wake up until dawn the next day, and when she woke up, she only felt refreshed, but she was hungry, so she asked Ju Liang to wait for her to finish freshening up, and then hurriedly ordered someone to go to the kitchen to get porridge and vegetables to feed her hunger.
After a while, after drinking a small bowl of bird's nest porridge and using some light side dishes, Sheng Weiqiao felt that his vitality was exhausted, so he asked with a smile: "How did you sleep yesterday?"
They all said, "We can sleep on the boat, how much more have we come back to our own house?"
Another maid brought melons and fruits, and said with a smile: "These fruits are more common in our south, but they are rare in the north, and they are not fresh enough." Now that he's back, the county lord uses it more. ”
Sheng Weiqiao casually took a slice of melon flesh cut into petals and asked about business: "Yesterday's ...... King Mizhen and Marquis Yichun?"
"The two distinguished guests were both arranged to stay in the guest house yesterday. The chrysanthemum fence poured her a cup of black plum drink, and said, "But now that they are all out, it is our third master and the county guard and a few other adults who will personally accompany them to visit Lingxi Mountain." ”
With the title of Rong Sleeping Crane and Li Shengxu, when he came to Nanfeng County, even if he didn't greet the government at all, according to the default rules, the local parents and officials would definitely come to the door to meet him.
Not to mention that Rong Sleeping Crane was originally admitted from Nanfeng County, and he also called the teacher of Nanfeng County, at that time, the county guard of Nanfeng County also appreciated him very much, and once wanted to marry his daughter to him, but now that he is revisiting the old land, he naturally has to socialize with this county guard.
But......
Sheng Weiqiao subconsciously glanced at the bright sun outside, and said speechlessly: "This rain fell for a day yesterday, and it didn't stop until night, and now the sun is out again, and it's like a steamer everywhere outside, but the mud on the mountain road may not dry up, go to the mountains at this time?"
"Originally, the Marquis of Yichun wanted to go to sea, but the county guards all said that it had only rained heavily yesterday, and the sea was uncertain and windy at this time, and there would be danger, so they tried their best to persuade the Hou Ye to extinguish his thoughts. Ju Li covered his mouth and smiled, "After that, Hou Ye asked Nanfeng County if there were other places to go in Chang'an, and the county guard recommended Lingxi Mountain...... The main mountain roads of Lingxi Mountain are mostly paved with bluestone, even if a heavy rain washed the muddy water on it yesterday, it will take a day or two to go from the county town to Lingxi Mountain, which is enough time for the people below to gallop over to clean. ”
Moreover, "the Lingxi Mountain is full of grass and trees, and there are also many waterfalls. In this season, it is hot at the foot of the mountain, and when you go up the mountain, there are ancient trees to shade you, and there are waterfalls and springs to get rid of the heat, but it may not be hot. ”
Sheng Weiqiao thought about it, but still said: "But on the way to Lingxi, they are only afraid that they will suffer...... Yichun Hou and Mizhen are also okay, they are young left and right, and the county guard is a little old in the end, and it is also a toss. ”
Although the scenery in our county is not limited to Lingxi Mountain, considering the distance, unique style, steepness, and season...... Of these, Lingxi Mountain is the most suitable. ”
“…… Also. When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he remembered that three years ago, when Xu Baomo came to live in Shengfu, in order to entertain him and match the younger generations, the old lady Sheng arranged for them to travel, and chose Lingxi Mountain.
It's a pity that on the way, because Shen Jiuniang and Sheng Weirao had several disputes on the way, they were ordered by Sheng Weide to send them back to the mansion on the way, so that their group was chased back not far from Lingxi Mountain, and their mood was a little heavy, and a touch of self-blame also came up, and said secretly: "I'm just confused these days, Rong Sleeping Crane told me before, I suspect that Xiao Qiao is still alive, and she was arranged by the Shen family to go to Northern Xinjiang." At that time, he also said that he would send people to northern Xinjiang to inquire about the news...... Counting the days, how come the people he sent over have also sent him a reply, why did I forget to ask these days?"
But now that she remembered it, Rong Sleeping Crane went to Lingxi Mountain with the county guard, and he was not in the Sheng Mansion!
Sheng Weiqiao sighed secretly, and decided that after Rong Sleeping Crane came back this time, he must ask him about this matter clearly!
After settling down, she asked Feng's side: "You go and take a look, is my aunt still there? What is my mother doing now? If it is convenient over there, I will go over to ask my mother for peace." ”
When a little maid heard this, she hurriedly stood up and blessed her, and said, "Aunt Xiquan came over and said in person, saying that it is convenient for Mrs. to go before noon, and if the county lord wants to go over, he can do so at any time! ”
Sheng Weiqiao glanced at the copper leak in the corner of the house, it was still early at noon, so he stood up: "Then let's go over!"
When I arrived at Chengchun Terrace, today Feng was alone, and after a family ceremony, Feng beckoned her daughter to sit beside her, and laughed at her: "What are you doing when you come in?"
"What!" Sheng Weiqiao was really worried about Xuan Yu Feng's presence before entering the door, and continued to tease himself, but naturally refused to admit it at this time, twisted his body and said, "I see that the furnishings here have changed a lot!"
Feng Shi covered his mouth and smiled: "You are less here, I haven't changed the furnishings in the house before, when have you ever cared? At most, you see something you like, and you want me to give it to you, so I take a few more looks!"
She is now close to giving birth, and her body is bloated, but under the care of Hang Yufang who lives in the Sheng Mansion herself, her face is still beautiful, and when she laughs at this time, her eyes are sparkling, and she looks like she is not a few years old with her daughter, "The strength of looking around, at first glance, it is to guard against your aunt!"
"Mother, don't you love me?" Sheng Weiqiao saw this, showed a look of grievance, and said, "It's all like my aunt!"
"If I really don't feel sorry for you, it's such a hot day, so let's not gather in the house and wait for you to come and talk!" Feng gently pinched his daughter's cheek and said with a smile, "Look at you lazy, you only got up so late! I was still thinking with your father last night that I would let you get up early and go to Feng's house before the sun came out." It's all this hour, and you're coming to me...... Looks like I'll have to go back tomorrow!"
When it came to the Feng family, Sheng Weiqiao's heart suddenly weakened, and Ai Ai said: "Mother, I am in Chang'an this time, and I have used the things you explained to me when I set off before?"
Feng Shi was stunned for a moment, and then realized what she meant, so he raised his hand to let everyone other than Xiquan go out, took his daughter's hand, and asked cautiously, "What the hell is going on?"
"It's the heavy five banquets, placed in Shanglin Yuan, I follow the queen's mother. Sheng Weiqiao said, "As a result, Concubine Shu Guifei targeted the queen mother, and in front of a group of people, tried every means to lose the queen's face." The queen has always been very good to me, I was ...... Well, I couldn't stand that scene, so I interjected, and the concubine was ...... If you want the palace people to slap me, I'll ...... Well, I said that my grandfather's family was filial piety in front of Master Shu, and the concubine reluctantly revealed it. ”
When she said this, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Feng's face.
After all, although the Feng family told her daughter about the Feng family's trick, which was used as a killer weapon for her when she encountered troubles that could not be solved, at that time, Concubine Shu Guifei was actually not directly targeting Sheng Weiqiao at all, she was targeting Queen Meng.
Sheng Weiqiao rashly played this hole card for the queen, and Feng was afraid that he would not approve of it...... In the end, Empress Meng is not Feng's biological daughter!
"So?" Feng Shi was shocked when he heard this, and he hurriedly pinched his daughter's chin to look left and right, and said worriedly, "Then were you beaten at that time?"
"Nope. Sheng Weiqiao became more and more ashamed when he saw this, and said, "My grandfather's family has been in contact with Lord Shu for a long time, so the concubine is still very impressed. ”
He whispered again, "And she didn't finish counting, that man...... Mizhen hurriedly arrived and tried her best to coax the concubine, but later the concubine not only didn't pursue anything, but gave me a bracelet and said that it was shocking. ”
Feng Shi breathed a sigh of relief...... Because Sheng Weiqiao set off to return to Nanfeng County immediately after the five banquets, although the old lady Sheng knew about Shanglin Yuan's appearance, but considering that the daughter-in-law was about to give birth, and the son was a daughter slave, if the granddaughter almost suffered a loss was known to the couple, they would definitely be frightened.
Sheng Weiqiao is going to come back in person at that time, so it is better to let the girl come back and tell her father and mother in person!
In this way, Sheng Lanci and his wife looked at their daughter in front of them, and they were not shocked when they heard it.
So the old lady didn't mention these things at all in the letter to his family, and told the subordinates who sent the letter by land not to talk much.
At this moment, it was the first time Feng Shi heard this, and his face was not obvious, but he hated Shu Guifei to death in his heart, and secretly thought: "It's just two demon concubines who are known to the world for many evils! Fortunately, God opened his eyes and didn't give them an heir! The Son of Heaven is over half a hundred years old this year, and with this man's drunken appearance, I don't believe how long he can live!"
"When the time comes, these two sisters will have no backing, and I will use gold and silver to open the way, and I will have to give my family this breath !!"
Thinking like this, she was naturally reluctant to blame Sheng Weiqiao, and comforted: "I told you about this before, mainly just in case! ”
"Besides, if you do this, you will certainly offend the concubine, but in the eyes of the queen, you must be remembered!"
"Now that the imperial court is fighting between King Gaomi and the Meng family, no matter how favored the Shu sisters are, they can't compare with these two factions. Therefore, although the affection of the Shu sisters was used, why didn't they do enough favors with the queen? Who knows that this favor will be useless in the future?"
The fine spring next to him also said: "Why should the county lord worry? The Shu sisters have no children under their knees, so they are fierce in the royal family, and the concubines who are favored by the children have never had a good end." The old lady of the Feng family befriended them before, but he didn't expect that they would never be able to give birth to children!
The master and servant comforted Sheng Weiqiao, seeing that the girl was finally relieved, Feng Shi also stretched his eyebrows, and was about to say something else, when a maid coughed outside, she raised her eyebrows, and Xiquan immediately asked, "What's the matter?"
"Madam, the county lord: The sixth prince is here, and he is here to find the county lord. The maid hurriedly said, "Can you come in now?"
