Sheng Weiqiao didn't understand what she meant, and also smiled at her, saying that she had thought about asking Huan Yehe about something before, but since the last time they met in the middle of the night, this Jingshu county lord had never looked for Sheng Sleeping Crane again.

Of course, it may also be that he found it, but he looked for it privately, and Sheng Sleeping Crane didn't say anything.
I met today at this banquet that I didn't want to come to, maybe it was a chance?
Thinking so, she turned her head and whispered to the green brocade beside her: "Wait a minute, you can look at the county lord Jingshu, and remind me when there are fewer people around her." ā
Green brocade hurriedly agreed.
"There are so many of us here, but the fourteenth sister doesn't even see a figure, this shelf is really not ordinary!" Sheng Weiqiao finished telling Lu Jin, and was walking inside with Meng Guihuan, when he saw Meng Lijiang, who was sitting surrounded by several girls, glanced at them, raised her voice slightly, and said, "I know that my fourteenth sister has always been happy and quiet, and the most impatient people come to her to disturb her;
"Miss Fifteen's temper is really the same as ever!" This Meng Lijiang is deeply favored by Zheng Guogong because of her biological mother Aunt Jiaoyu, although she is the daughter of a concubine, but she is flattered when she is young, even if she is well-informed, she knows that their mother and daughter are not in a good situation, and Jiwei is still there, this will say such things in public in Meng Biyun's boudoir, and no one dares to speak up for a while.
Sheng Weiqiao was having a headache before the birthday banquet officially started, and the turmoil was about to start, but when he saw Huan Yehe, he turned his head and said with a smile, "Obviously I want to go upstairs to talk to Miss Fourteen, most of us have arrived, please Miss Fourteen don't learn the sea for the time being, and come down to talk to us, but I want to say it as if I blame Miss Fourteen! This is obviously because I am afraid that we will think Miss Fourteen is neglecting, so we deliberately preemptively say such things first, so that we can turn around and persuade you to calm your anger, so you can't worry about blaming Miss Fourteen!"
said that without waiting for Meng Lijiang to answer, she turned her head to everyone, "But everyone has known each other for a long time, and she can't deceive us no matter how she pretends to be, don't you say?"
The hall looked at each other for a moment before a faint laugh rang out.
It's just that no one spoke, because although they saw Huan Yehe's thoughts, they weren't sure whether Meng Lijiang was willing to take the opportunity to step down. In case Zheng Guogong, the old girl who has always been careful of her liver baby, does not give up, they will probably be burned if they respond to Huan Yehe.
Fortunately, Meng Guihuan, Meng Liyi, and Meng Liti are the daughters of the Meng family after all, and they are worried that the atmosphere will be very bad now, and the luncheon will become more and more inedible, so they all said: "It's still Jingshu County Lord Bingxue who is smart and knows my two sisters best." ā
"Isn't it nice that they're sisters in the same room?"
"The fifteenth sister loves to talk back when she is a child, and the more she cares about whom, the meaner she is, and she really responds to the sentence that beating is kissing and scolding is love. We have known her nature for a long time, but she has always refused to admit it, and we have to pretend not to know. Now that the county lord Jingshu said it, it's not good for us to talk nonsense with our eyes open!"
"That's it!"
Sheng Weiqiao listened to the singing and harmony of the three sisters of the Meng family, and did a good job, and was stunned to press Meng Lijiang there not to make any more trouble, feeling very speechless, and said in his heart, it is no wonder that he is uncomfortable in this Chang'an City, this is a public open-eyed nonsense and has the ability to take care of things, he is really not good!
Well, at least that's what Sheng Weiqiao himself thinks!
I couldn't help but look at Huan Ye a few more times, and saw the county lord's sincere face with a smile, as if every word came from the bottom of his heart...... can't help but feel a little admiration: compared to his innocent self, this person is simply born to mix with Chang'an and the palace!
Because Huan Yehe remembered Meng Biyun upstairs at the moment, he thought that Miss Meng 14 had the beauty and majesty that the lord of the six palaces should have in terms of appearance, the problem was that he wanted to gain a foothold in the harem, especially when today's harem was to gain a foothold, even with the support of the Empress Dowager Meng and the Meng family, I am afraid that it would have to be such an eight-sided exquisite as Huan Yehe, right?
Meng Biyun, who does it without saying a word, doesn't know what will happen in the future?
She was thinking about it here, and Huan Yehe was full of smiles and witty words, and she didn't say anything about the scene in a few words, but also took Meng Lijiang's hand seriously and went upstairs to invite Meng Biyun.
Sheng Weiqiao was worried about whether Meng Biyun and Meng Lijiang would fight upstairs, or pinch up in public after coming down, but he didn't think that Huan Yehe dared to take care of this matter, and he did have real skills, and after a while, he actually took the pair of sisters down safely and soundly.
And looking at the expressions of Meng Lijiang and Meng Biyun, although they are not to the point of smiling and welcoming people, they are not about to come to the storm, which makes people worry that they will pounce on each other at any time to fight to the death.
In this situation, Sheng Weiqiao admired Huan Yehe, but also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "With this one, it seems that no matter if there will be any twists and turns in private today, at least the scene can be rounded." ā
As long as the scene is passable, Sheng Weiqiao doesn't care about what hysterical things will happen in the Zheng Guogong Mansion today!
At this time, it was not long before noon, and everyone talked around Meng Biyun, because this girl had a very cold attitude, basically told her ten words, but she may not answer a word, and occasionally responded, but only a faint "um", or a cold "oh".
So although the people who gathered around to talk to her were very enthusiastic at first, and they also tried their best to choose good things to say, in the end, they were all unmarried young girls, no matter how thick-skinned they were, they were always limited in front of everyone, and they were embarrassed to such an iceberg-like person.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to cool down again, Huan Yehe hurriedly said a few words, and then brought the topic to the luncheon.
"The banquet has already begun in Guichun Garden in front of us, why don't we go over and take a look? It's a strange cold day, although the earth dragon is burning here, but just sitting like this, I always feel uncomfortable. Meng Liyi, who was in the second room of the Meng family, heard this, and said, "If they all get it after they go, it's better to have a banquet like this." Eat some water and wine, and warm up!"
This proposal was approved by everyone, although according to the plan, the luncheon still had some time to start, but for a protagonist like Meng Biyun, if she didn't want to just sit and look at each other, or let her go upstairs to read a book, and a group of guests chatting by themselves below, she could only start the banquet in advance.
At least there are not only wine and food at the banquet, but also singing and dancing performances, even if Meng Biyun doesn't say a word, everyone can borrow wine to cover their faces, or enjoy singing and dancing, so that they will not fall into the embarrassment of having nothing to say because of the protagonist's indifference and non-cooperation.
Meng Guihuan also took Sheng Weiwei as an example, and said with a smile: "It's cold on this day, people are easy to get hungry when they sit dry, like Miss Sheng Ba is young, and she still came out with breakfast in the house, but she was hungry again not long after she came." Fortunately, her sister Miss Sheng San told the maid here, and the maid went to the kitchen to get a pastry and padded it for her, and I also rubbed a piece of pastry, otherwise, if the twelfth sister doesn't say it, I have to ask if I can have a banquet in advance!"
"How can this hungry piece of pastry be enough?" Meng Liyi joked when she heard this, and said, "This is obviously Sister Eleven, you are greedy, seeing the sweetness of Miss Sheng Ba's food, you can't help but steal other people's pastries to eat!"
Meng Liti also smiled and said to Sheng Weiwei: "Next time the maid brings you pastries, you have to take care of it! Especially when our eleventh sister is close, don't be careless and be quietly touched by her!"
"Look at you people!" Meng Guihuan stomped his feet and chirped, "What if Miss Sheng Ba is as bad as you? I took the food in front of her, and Miss Ba is very generous, so I don't care!"
"Look, I'll just say you're not hungry, it's because Miss Eight eats well, you can't help but take it, right?" Meng Liyi shouted as if she had grabbed a handle, and said with a smile, "No, if I sit with Sister Eleventh later, I have to take care of the dishes in front of me, don't ask you to snatch all the delicious food!"
Meng Guihuan glanced at her and said, "If you say so, I'm going to snatch all your dishes later!"
The three sisters quarreled a few words, but because of Meng Biyun's indifferent atmosphere, they rebounded.
The others interjected a few words that were not salty or light to relax the atmosphere, and it was estimated that the little maid who ran to Gui Chunyuan when she heard Meng Li's words should have brought the news over, and when she received the news, she would arrange the banquet in advance, so she greeted each other and got up, tidied up her skirts and hairpin rings, and looked at each other to see if there was anything messy about her sideburns and makeup.
After cleaning up for a while, they humbled each other about who walked in front, and then hugged Meng Biyun and walked.
When it arrived at Guichun Garden, the cups and plates in it were like goose wings lined up in front of the hall, but they were already neatly prepared, waiting for the master to bring the guests to the table.
This Guichun Garden has a "Gui" word, all the way into but did not see much laurel trees, but in the room high and low on a few cases, put a lot of flowers in the warm room to bloom, between the purple and red, fragrant, if not the outside of the snow, look really like spring back to the earth.
When the girls arrived, they naturally had to bow down to each other for their seats.
ā¦ā¦ As the owner and protagonist, Meng Biyun has nothing to fight for, and she sits at ease.
However, the seats around Meng Biyun were very pushy before they were decided: among the greeting guests who came over today, the highest status is of course the county lord of Deping, and it is said that the county lord of Deping should be invited to sit in the position of host and guest.
However, this county lord was disgusted by the Gaomi Palace, and Concubine Mo seemed to be left to fend for herself, neither powerful nor the blood of Meng's number one political enemy, and this position of host and guest was obviously impossible for her.
The second is Huan Yehe, although it is not a clan daughter like the county lord of Deping, but it also has the county lord, and it is still the granddaughter of Huan Guanlan, a heavy minister. The most rare thing is that she is a good hand, and it is one of the important guarantees that this birthday banquet can maintain peace and joy on the surface!
With this, Meng Guihuan, Meng Liyi, Meng Liti and Meng Shuangxiao unanimously pressed her to sit on the seat on Meng Biyun's left hand, and refused to let her leave!
As for the seat on Meng Biyun's right hand, Meng Lijiang originally wanted to sit in the order in front of the Empress Dowager Meng, but she didn't care about the face of Zheng Guogong's mansion, Meng Guihuan and the other Meng family girls didn't want to be laughed at, and they didn't want to be involved because she took advantage of the proximity to make trouble with Meng Biyun.
Therefore, both parents are there, although due to the favoritism of the Empress Dowager Meng, they are a head shorter than the big house, but they are not like the fourth room of the Meng family, which completely belongs to the vassals of the big house, Meng Liyi, the daughter of the second room, and Meng Liti, the daughter of the third room, jointly pulled Meng Lijiang to several seats apart, the reason is: "Our sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, fifteenth sister, you can give us some face, let's sit with us today! We sit here closer to the high platform below, and it will be more cordial to watch the play and listen to the music later!"
Then because the two sisters went to look at Meng Lijiang, the seat was handed over to Meng Guihuan under the resignation of the other guests.
The reason is also ready-made, since the other guests are unwilling to sit, because they don't live in the Zheng Guogong Mansion, they are actually guests today, and they are still the eldest of the Meng family sisters present, this son Meng Guihuan doesn't sit, can't let Meng Shuangxiao, who is a niece, sit on top of a few aunts, right?
It is true that Meng Shuangxiao's daughter is more expensive than her father, and her status is really stronger than that of several aunts, and she is much stronger than Meng Guihuan, the aunt whose parents died, but on the scene, this order of growth and youth still needs to be taken care of.
In this way, Meng Biyun and Meng Lijiang had someone to accompany and supervise them left and right, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the other seats were all easy to arrange, and they each found a place to sit down in an instant.
