The old friend that Mrs. Sheng went out to visit this time was Xu Baoting, the father of Xu Zijing, the Marquis of Ningwei. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

These two old men met in the army when they were young, and in the years when they fought against Ruru in northern Xinjiang, you blocked arrows for me, and I took swords for you, and they owed each other more than one life - the depth of friendship can be imagined.

Even if they no longer get along day and night after saying goodbye, the Xu family later became marquis, but they were not estranged, but became more and more affectionate.

Even so, where is the lintel gap, how can Mrs. Ming not be nervous?

Even the daughter's family who had just arrived didn't have the heart to say hello, so they hurriedly asked someone to invite Sheng Lan to come over and discuss: "I don't know what the prince is going to do, and whether our family can help." Besides, the yard at home is just ordinary, are people used to living in it?"

"Although it is said that the status of the prince is noble, since he came back with his father, he must have come to live as a junior. Sheng Lanci is a person who has been in the Jinshi and entered Hanlin, when he was in Chang'an before, he also met with Ning Weihou's family, and he was a guest of Hou Shizi, but he didn't mean to be respectful, and he didn't care, "Clean up a few courtyards and come out, and let him pick it up by himself when the time comes-what kind of friendship does his father have with Xu Shibo? That Shizi thinks of his elders, and he will not show anything that he is not used to." ”

Mrs. Ming was quite speechless for his answer: "Isn't that a grievance to the son of a family?"

"Then the son of the world has to kowtow to you when he comes, why do you think too highly of him?" Sheng Lan said with a smile, "Besides, he won't arrive right away, counting the time of his father's departure, it's still a few days, mother, what will you start worrying about?"

Without waiting for Mrs. Ming to say anything, he had already stood up, "There are too many things today, this will come to the door for fear of disturbing the placement of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I still have to go to Feng's house to pick up the drinking dew early in the morning!

Old Madam Ming sighed: "You go!"

- This stepson is full of thoughts about his wife who returned to his parents' house, and it is no wonder that he is careless about the imminent arrival of the son!

The old lady can only pray now, and the next day Sheng Lanci can smoothly take back the Feng family, and finish the important matter of hosting the prince with peace of mind.

Who said that the rest of the Sheng family, including the old lady herself, was in a mess? Why didn't Sheng Lanci do anything, and the whole family would not be at ease -- after many years, this has become a habit.

However, she was afraid of what would come, so Sheng Lan went out early in the morning with a generous gift, and returned home in disgrace until the curfew.

Mrs. Ming sent someone to inquire and learned: "Although the Feng family let the eldest master enter the door, they only led the eldest master to the small flower hall to serve tea, and did not let the eldest master enter the back hall at all. Later, I saw that it was too late, and the eldest man pondered whether to simply live in the Feng family, and he didn't want the Feng family to drive people out!"

"Sister-in-law has been held in the palm of her hand by her mother and eldest brother, and she suddenly suffered such a big grievance, it is inevitable that she can't think about it for a while, hasn't the eldest brother only gone for a day? Maybe Ming'er's sister-in-law will be soft-hearted, is Qiao'er still in the Sheng family?" Sheng Lanxin saw that Mrs. Ming's face was not good when she heard this, and she hurriedly comforted, "Sister-in-law really doesn't want to come back, how could she leave Qiao'er in the first place?"

Mrs. Ming is right to think about it, the husband and wife of the big house have always been affectionate, and they have only been married for many years, and they have only been Sheng Weiqiao's daughter, and they have always been like a baby, and Feng is angry with her husband for breaking her oath, where can she give up her daughter?

Who knew that their mother and daughter thought well, Sheng Lan left early and returned late, and reported to Yue's house for five or six days in a row, but she didn't even see Feng's shadow - Mrs. Ming proposed to let Sheng Lanxin accompany him to visit, Feng can take her husband back to the outer room, but she may not be embarrassed to let her sister-in-law who has a good relationship also hang at Feng's house for a whole day, right?

However, Sheng Lanci insisted on working hard alone and persistently to impress his wife and the Feng family - he still had the heart to play affectionately here, and the old lady Ming couldn't bear to jump her feet: "Count the days, the old lady and the prince will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Lan Ci, you haven't even cleaned up the yard where the prince lives so far, and all sent the steward to do it, how can this work?!"

"Then let the sleeping crane do it!" Sheng Lanci, who was about to go out, listened patiently to his stepmother's snot and tears, but said, "Isn't it just to see if there is a problem with the yard that has been cleaned up?

After speaking, she ignored the old lady Ming who was so angry that her face turned blue, and walked away!

"Since the eldest brother said to let the sleeping crane preside over this matter, why should you be angry?" Sheng Lanxin learned the news and rushed over to the round, "Do you think that although the eldest brother has entered the Hanlin Forest, he is not as full of awe as we are for the Hou Mansion, and it is impossible to say that it is not a serious matter, right? In my opinion, this matter, the eldest brother may have decided to hand it over to the sleeping crane early in the morning - after all, the eldest brother only brought the sleeping crane back, but did not mention the biological mother of the sleeping crane, this is obviously just wanting a biological son of the heir! So when the son comes back, how can the eldest brother not hand over the family business to him?" Now don't you just want to use the matter of receiving the prince to let him show his hand, not only to show the Sheng family, but also to give him a good opportunity to get in touch with the son?"

Old Madam Ming calmed down a little when she heard this, and said, "But Sleeping Crane has been outside, what can he understand?"

"The eldest brother is such a son, even if he is raised outside, how can he not ask someone to teach him things?" Sheng Lanxin couldn't cry and laughed, "What's more, what the eldest brother said before is right, that son was brought back by his father, and when he comes, our family may have to perform the junior ceremony-don't worry too much!"

"I said that it is not a matter for the big house to have no children, but now don't you tell me to be right?" Mrs. Ming sighed and said to her daughter, "Originally, Lan Ci was going to hand over the matter to his son, so just say a word, why do you want me to be anxious for so many days? Now that I think about it, it is estimated that he is afraid that he will arrange it directly, and Qiao Er will have opinions- I said that he was really anxious, Qiao Er was thirteen years old, and the sleeping cranes on the left and right had been kept outside, so he couldn't wait a few more years, and when Qiao Er came out of the pavilion, he was sensible as a daughter-in-law at that time, how could he be so willful?

Mrs. Ming is really a corpus!

Sheng Weiqiao received a notice from the little maid, saying that after Sheng Sleeping Crane was ordered to preside over the reception of Ning Weihou's son, he threw the jade comb in his hand into the makeup box without saying a word: "The Xu family and our family are friends in the world, but it's a pity that the two families are far away and it is inconvenient to come and go." This is the first time that the Xu family brother has come to the door, such a big thing, call an outer room who has just come back to preside, it's really a shame that my father can think of it!"
