Chapter 176: The Fat Sheep Is Coming
When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he smiled and said, "Auntie, I remember that you all praised me for being smart before?"
"Don't be coquettish!" Xuan Yu Feng said with a calm face, "Seriously! You are our blood relative, of course we think you are good! But Meng Boqin and Zhao Shi are not obliged to take you seriously!"
"I haven't figured out how to convince Zhao Shi or Meng Boqin yet, but it's not a day or two to go to Northern Xinjiang, so don't you just think about it slowly on the way?" Sheng Weiqiao spread his hands and said, "The so-called car must have a road before the mountain, and the so-called urgency makes wisdom, how many of you have always said that I am smart and have always said that I am blessed, maybe I will have an idea when I get to the place?"
Seeing that Xuan Yu Feng seemed to want to refute, she said indifferently, "My grandfather was just an ordinary rich kid back then, even if he learned some martial arts, I think my great-grandfather and grandmother must have let him learn martial arts only to strengthen his body and protect himself, not to go to the battlefield!"
"However, after my grandfather joined the army, although he didn't give the old Sheng family the identity of a general, he was also a serious military attache after all, right?"
"My father wanted to be an official earlier, and he concentrated on his studies when he was a child, and he didn't take care of his ancestral business at all. ”
"Later, because my grandfather was seriously ill, my father went back to serve and took over the ancestral business by the way, didn't he also learn from scratch and then carry it forward?"
"What my two elders can do, don't I even dare to try?!"
Xuan Yu Feng said: "Well, what you say is still a bit arrogant, but it is a bit of an ancestor's style! It's just that you don't want to say it nicely now, when you turn around and go to the place, people say 'no', and you will immediately have red eyes and want to cry...... Meng Boqin and Zhao Shike may not be used to you! Even if it's on the scene...... Wait!"
She suddenly noticed, "You just tried to persuade Zhao Shi to pay it back, after all, it is Mi Zhen's uncle, it is said that he has always loved talents, even if he has never met Mi Zhen, he has a good impression of it, otherwise he would not take the initiative to send someone to Xijiang to help! Do you still want to deal with Meng Boqin?!"
"Why not?" Sheng Weiqiao said in a good time, "Everyone doesn't want my father-in-law to gain power, of course there is a possibility of an alliance! Meng Boqin is the mainstay of the Meng family, it can't be that he doesn't have this bearing, right? Besides, our couple didn't have any grudges with the Meng family, did they?"
Anyway, whether it is what happened to Meng Boheng, Jiaoyu or Meng Lijiang, Meng doesn't know the truth at this time!
But to be honest, Sheng Weiqiao felt that even if the Meng family knew, if it was profitable to cooperate with the couple, the Meng family would not care.
Those who can mix with the status of the court giants are not stupid.
Xuan Yu Feng said: "Don't forget that the Meng clan doesn't want Mizhen to gain power!"
"But who told them to use their brains?" Sheng Weiqiao said, "With the handle of Fu Zhen ready, I don't believe that the Meng clan will not have a headache!"
"So, are you going to go to Northern Xinjiang to talk to Meng Boqin about this in person?" Xuan Yu Feng said, "Don't you tell the queen?"
Sheng Weiqiao said: "Then how can we do it? Lu Shiyu and the others are already delivering news to my father-in-law at this moment, if the Meng family only knows about this after ten days and half a month, my father-in-law is afraid that he will not have laid a net long ago?"
And then if the Meng clan can't break free from this snare this time, he will fall like this, and the fledgling Rong Sleeping Crane will suffer?
"So the queen still has to say it, just let Aunt Nan do this favor, ask the queen to follow the family's path, and convey it to Meng Boqin!"
"This is not only fast, but also confidential, while raising the status of the queen in the Meng family, it can also increase the favor of Uncle Xu Shi on the Meng family's side!"
She didn't think much about the use of helping Xu Zijing and his wife brush Meng's favor at this time, but she did it instinctively.
At this moment, he pondered for a while, and then said, "After arriving in the northern frontier like this, no matter what Meng Boqin thinks, he will definitely take the initiative to visit me once! If nothing else, he hopes that Mizhen will cooperate with the Meng clan in the western Xinjiang and temporarily suppress the charge of 'colluding with Ruru', at least he can't offend me, right?"
As long as Meng Boqin doesn't give her a closed door, there will be a chance...... Well, this confidence comes from Sheng Lanci talking about business with other county clans in the early years, at that time it was very difficult to talk about it for various reasons, and the young Sheng Weiqiao felt sorry for his father and persuaded him: "Since they don't want to, Daddy might as well ignore it, anyway, our family is not short of silver now." ”
Sheng Lanci happily praised her at the time: "Good girl, really filial!"
casually said, "But they are not unwilling, they still want to lower the price, if they are really unwilling, then they must not even see each other, so they simply hide!"
"However, you and Meng are not all the way after all. Xuan Yu Feng reminded her, "To be honest, if Mi Zhen personally comes to the door to talk to Meng Boqin, Meng Boqin may still seriously consider the matter of joining forces temporarily." But, you're not my aunt who buries you, Qiao'er, as your father's only daughter, and so many years older than your younger brother Yuan'er, but you have never taken care of the family's property, nor have you ever had a reputation for being literary...... Do you know what I would think if I were Meng Boqin and heard that you came to me?"
Sheng Weiqiao said: "Well, eighty percent think that the fat sheep is coming?"
"It's good if you know!" Xuan Yu Feng nodded, saying that this niece seemed to be saved, she said slowly, "Although as the saying goes, ambition is not in old age, but the world always thinks that older people are more stable and reliable. You are only seventeen years old this year, several years younger than Meng Boqin's fifth son, how do you say he can put you on an equal footing?"
"And this world has a lot of discrimination against women, not to mention that what you want to mix with at this time is a military affair, that is, after your uncle who should have died a long time ago, your cousin is still young, and I am the main room of your uncle and the biological mother of your cousin, and I take care of the family on behalf of the young head of the family, isn't it a matter of course?!"
"Not to mention that my background is no worse than Xuanyu's family, my mother's family is still a few steps away from Xuanyu's house!"
"What happened?"
"You should have heard of it, your cousin's uncles and uncles, and some distant relatives of the Xuan Yu family, but they haven't stopped muttering until now!"
"So if you want to go to the north to help Mi Zhen, I won't stop you, according to my idea, since you are the princess of the county, you should have the princess of the county!
"People in this world are not blind in their eyes or deaf in their ears, what you have done, how much you have helped Mizhen, he will not remember it in the future, but some people will remember. ”
"At that time, that's the confidence of you and your child!"
"But you must know that this trip is more difficult than you think!"
"There will even be embarrassments that you couldn't have imagined before!"
Xuan Yu Feng sighed, "So you don't want to make a decision now when you are excited, anyway, we haven't left the scope of Western Xinjiang at this time, whether it is going to Northern Xinjiang or Chang'an, we are still going in the same direction left and right!"
"Actually, there's nothing to think about. Sheng Weiqiao thought seriously for a while, then raised his head and said, "I didn't think about today's actions as a bargaining chip in the future, anyway, I didn't want him to have any future when I married Mi Zhen, I just liked him......! I don't think I can do it. ”
"Then you have to coax Ah Xi!" Xuan Yu Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "You also know that Mi Zhen is trying to send you out by all means! After the situation in Yizhou is critical, people up and down will inevitably attack him for the fact that you left the Western Xinjiang on the eve of Ruru's invasion! At this time, if he knows that you are not going to Chang'an and going to the northern Xinjiang, it will be strange if you are not in a hurry to jump your feet! You are not helping him, but causing chaos for him!"
"So you have to let Ah Xi shut up with Mi Zhen and not let Mi Zhen know that you are going north!"
Sheng Weiqiao felt that it made sense, nodded and said, "It's too late today, I'll tell him when Ah Xi comes back tomorrow." He has always been loyal to Mi Zhen, and he will definitely agree!"
But she didn't know Xuan Yu Feng's calculation of covering her eyes with the action of drinking tea: of course she knew that Gongsun Xi was very loyal to Rong Sleeping Crane, and she would definitely not be ambiguous about things that were beneficial to Rong Sleeping Crane.
However, if I don't talk about it at this time, I am afraid that Rong Sleeping Crane will be worried; when the crisis has passed, can Gongsun Xi still tell the ins and outs carefully?
At that time, it was just the right time to borrow this number one henchman who allowed the sleeping crane...... Uh, it's the mouth of the number one human henchman, let Rong Sleeping Crane know his princess's heart for him!
"This kid is still young!" Xuan Yu Feng muttered to himself, "How can you not let him know about doing things for your husband? Isn't this done for nothing?! Fortunately, I am here, otherwise I don't know how much she will suffer by this stupid person?"
Thinking of Rong Sleeping Crane who was still in the western frontier, he raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "That Fu Zhen dares to chase us down alone, it can be seen that the Ruru army is about to enter the country! In this way, Mi Zhen will definitely be very busy next! He is very suspicious, and in extraordinary times, his vigilance is even higher! In this way, even if someone wants to beat him, climb into a bed, recommend a pillow and so on, he should not give him a chance?"
"That's right, aunt!" Sheng Weiqiao didn't know that Xuan Yu Feng was planning for her marriage, and after thinking for a while, he remembered an old thing, so he asked, "Do you know the foundation of the Shen family? It is my eldest aunt's husband's family, Xiao Qiao's family." I heard that his family's caravan is specifically going north, it seems to be the northern Xinjiang?"
"The Shen family?" Xuan Yu Feng thought for a while and said, "That's right, their family seems to have a few shops in Northern Xinjiang. A few years ago, when I went to Shengfu, I met your aunt, when I said that I wanted to make some good leather to decorate the neckline and cuffs of a winter coat, but our Nanfeng County has a warm climate all year round, and there is no need for a coat in winter, so there is no good leather to sell in the local area. ”
"At that time, your eldest aunt said that it would be good to leave this matter to her, and when she turned around, she got more than a dozen good fox skins and mink skins for me, and she refused to ask for silver!"
"Later, your mother gave her a set of four hairpins with emerald butterfly inlaid treasure hairpins, emerald Ruyi butterfly grass flower hairpins, emerald butterfly lotus hairpins and emerald butterfly ginkgo leaf hairpins, and only then did she return this favor!"
She muttered, "You suddenly remembered that your eldest aunt, could it be that she was planning to go to Northern Xinjiang and find their shop to recognize her relatives? Although the Shen family has been operating this trade route for some years, the lintel of their house is not as good as the Sheng family! What you have to do, I am afraid that they will be powerless?"
