At this moment, Aunt Zhao also had a headache: "What the hell is going on?
After listening to the explanation of the county lord of Qingfang, Aunt Zhao was suspicious again, "Could it be that this person has something to do with the Huan family, in order to seek the six yuan that has never been seen in history, he wants to put us together?"
"I doubted it too. www.biquge.info The county lord of Qingfang pursed his lips and whispered, "But aunt, think about it, it's only in the lunar month, the spring festival is February next year, and there will be the palace exam later, and when the real gold list title comes out, it will have to be at least in March! If you rush to the court and delay it a little longer, the past example, the results in April are not nothing!"
"Although Nanfeng County is far away from Chang'an, this time is enough for our people to go back and forth!"
She narrowed her eyes, "And although it's only been two days since Jing Shu reported to me, my people have also heard some allusions to the sleeping crane from the Ningwei Hou Mansion - it is said that he is the outer room of Sheng Lanci, the eldest lord of the Sheng family, who accidentally fell outside, because Sheng Lanci is the same wife Feng Shi's affection, although he has only one concubine under his knees for many years, it is the little girl who came with him today, but he has not been allowed to enter the door!"
"Until the year before last, Xu Shi saw that the Feng family had never come out again, so he took him back and went to the genealogy!"
"And soon after he entered the door, he showed an excellent talent for reading, which made the old lady of Sheng Mansion love him very much, and even spoke in person, so that Sheng Lanci spent a full year putting aside his business and specifically instructing him in his homework - before he was in Nanfeng County, he had already passed the first case of Xiao Sanyuan, and he was even more famous!"
"The problem is that before he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, he remained silent -- no one knows where he lived, who he studied with, and who his biological mother was! Even the slightest rumor about him going north and sharing the ship with the prince and servant of the Marquis of Ning Wei for many days has not even been revealed. It's as if there was such a person in the world when he entered the Sheng Mansion!"
Aunt Zhao's face was solemn, and her chin bowed: "This thing is really not quite right! Assuming that he is really Sheng Lanci's blood and blood, since he is not a son-in-law, if he has not been recognized by his father in his early years, he has the talent to read, how can he make his reputation inconspicuous?"
After all, Sheng Sleeping Crane didn't officially enter the Sheng family until he was seventeen years old, and everyone knew about this situation, but he took advantage of the Feng family's childlessness, otherwise since the Sheng family could let him live abroad for so many years, it could be seen that they didn't pay attention to him. And if Sheng Sleeping Crane is a person who has no ability, maybe the Sheng family will provide him with food, drink and study in private, and he will be satisfied, so he will eat and wait for death for the rest of his life.
But not to mention Sheng Sleeping Crane's scheming and desire for fame this time by playing tricks to covet Liuyuan, let's just say that his case head and Xie Yuan in Nanfeng County were all tested in real battles - such a person, even if he has no resentment towards the Sheng family, will he be willing to bury his talent?
Even if he was afraid of his mother-in-law Feng, but Feng was very affectionate with her husband Sheng Lanci, so much so that she had no children for many years and her husband left the outer room outside, but there was still an old lady in Sheng Mansion. Although the old lady has not reached the point of indistinguishing between his grandchildren, he must attach great importance to his own grandchildren, especially the biological heirs of his eldest son Sheng Lanci, who he attaches the most importance to!
What's more, Sheng Sleeping Crane still has such a good talent for reading, as long as he manages to let Old Lady Sheng know about his existence and talent, Old Lady Sheng will definitely let him enter the door and ensure his safety!
But in fact?
He stayed up quietly until he was seventeen years old, and then Sheng Lanci took him back to the Sheng Mansion -- this was really wrong, after all, how did he know that the Feng family had never been able to give birth to a son? If the Feng family gave birth to a son in the middle of this, he would not have expected to enter the door!
This man is not a fool, how can he not understand this truth, and how can he not think about himself at all?
Or is he simple by nature, high-spirited, honest and filial, broad-minded, born with the soul of filial piety throughout the ages, full of submissive and docile compassion, not only is not the slightest resentment and dissatisfaction with his biological father and mother who turned him away, but is full of admiration, and he uses his noble character and noble sentiment to move the heavens, and gets the opportunity to be recognized by the Sheng family - this kind of person will come to Chang'an, even if he counts the glory of six yuan that no one has ever achieved? !
Aunt Zhao pondered for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "Did his mother-in-law, Feng, have any secret hands?"
There are many high doors in Chang'an, and there are many private in the back house. Aunt Zhao has heard a lot of things about the master's mother being cheated and heirs.
At this moment, he doubted, "If he had known that the Feng family could not give birth, naturally he would not have to rush back to the Sheng Mansion! After all, although he was not famous or divided outside, he could concentrate on studying! If he managed to enter the Sheng Mansion in the morning, he would be under the nose of his mother-in-law all day long, where would he be at ease? Especially since his mother-in-law was deeply favored by his biological father. โ
If you think about it this way, Sheng Shenghe's loneliness before the age of seventeen is the evidence of the depth of his city or the guidance of someone behind him -- low-key, no tossing, no fighting, which can not only minimize his mother's hostility to him and increase the pity of Mrs. Sheng for him; and cleverly avoid the possibility of being raised by his mother, murdered, spoiled, and spoiled; and he also used these ten years to concentrate on hard study, and saved the most favorable and stable capital for his future: talent and learning.
Aunt Zhao believes that this possibility is relatively large, and it is completely in line with the style of this person who came to Chang'an to instruct his sister-in-law Sheng Weiqiao to make a statement to the Queen Mother to plan six yuan!
"I thought so before!" Lord Qingfang listened and smiled bitterly, "But the Xu family who received the money also said something, that is, the Feng family had just been diagnosed as pregnant two months ago! Sheng Lanci, the current head of the Sheng family, couldn't get out of it just to take care of her, so he could only let his brothers and sisters go north with the prince of Ningwei Hou's mansion!"
Aunt Zhao was stunned for a while, the doubts between her eyebrows did not dissipate, but they became more and more intense, and sneered: "This woman is now far away in Nanfeng County, even if our people go there, she is the head of a large local family, even if our people come to the door, she is a 'pregnant' woman's family, can she still come out and show her face?
The county lord of Qingfang groaned, "Auntie is saying?"
"After this Feng family gave birth to a daughter-in-law, there has been no movement for more than ten years, why did the outer room that her husband brought back have to come to Chang'an to take the exam, and she has it?" Aunt Zhao narrowed her eyes, "This is too coincidental, right?!"
"How can there be such a coincidence in the world?!" At the same time, in the carriage returning to the house, Sheng Weiqiao was also saying angrily, "When we went back from the palace a while ago, she stopped the carriage and greeted me, and she could say that Yongyibo's Mansion was indeed nearby." Today, let's go to see the house, and she actually showed up -- I just said that on this cold day, what is the identity of the county lord of Qingfang, who will wait for us in a house where the earth dragon has not burned?
She turned to Sheng Sleeping Crane, "Brother, what the hell are you talking about her?!"
Sheng Sleeping Crane actually wanted to be quiet at this time.
Today's incident happened suddenly, not only did he suffer a huge emotional impact, the key is that this incident will disrupt his next plan, so he urgently needs to sort out his thoughts alone and find a way to deal with it as soon as possible, so as not to be caught off guard again and again and fall into complete passivity - if it is someone else who is chattering next to him at the moment, and still chasing him to answer the question, even if it is Gongsun Tu, he will be embarrassed.
But looking at the girl's big apricot eyes, his unconsciously tone softened, thought about it, and said: "Anyway, we didn't buy the house, and we didn't stay in that place too much-didn't the Qingfang county lord say it? In the past two days, Sheng Xiang's search for a house is not a secret at all in the south of the city. In this way, we are just running empty, what tricks can Huan Yehe play? Is it because we went to a house in Gaomi Wangfu for half a day in a house that was originally sold and regretted for half a day, we will be counted as the Gaomi Wangfu faction?!"
This also makes sense, but Sheng Weiqiao pinched his eyebrows, still feeling distressed: "I still think those people are very weird! Especially the Aunt Zhao who came over later, she originally wanted to send us away in a few words, but then she suddenly stared at you non-stop, and even tried every means to leave us behind! If it weren't for the Qingfang County Lord's speech, I'm afraid that we would all be detained there and couldn't leave!"
There was a clear doubt in her eyes, "Brother, you shouldn't have something to hide from me, right?"
"What did I hide from you?" Sheng Sleepy Crane asked with a faint smile, trying to divert the topic.
But Sheng Weiqiao reluctantly asked the bottom line: "Is it related to that Aunt Zhao, or someone she knows?"
-- It was also Sheng Lanci and his wife who had a relationship with her, saying that Sheng Sleeping Crane's biological parents were both from the Jiangnan clan and had nothing to do with Chang'an; and Chang'an was thousands of miles away from Nanfeng County, and Sheng Sleeping Crane was only five years old when he fell to Hawksbill Island, so it was impossible for such a big child to be lost to such a far place, so Sheng Weiqiao didn't think that this matter had anything to do with his life experience, but he also instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
Sheng Sleeping Crane glanced at the maid in the car, showed a meaningful smile, touched her head, and said softly: "It's a long story, go back!"
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know that he needed time to sort out his thoughts and think of a way to prevaricate himself, so he took this delaying tactic, and thought that he was acquiescing to telling her frankly after he went back, and when he heard that he was satisfied, he immediately fell silent.
As a result, after a while, he returned to the house, sent up to inquire about Gongsun Yingjiang, who was passing by, and visited Sheng Weiwei, who was still not in good spirits for a while, and after the brother and sister faced each other alone in the study again, Sheng Sleeping Crane said in a heartfelt voice: "Good girl, you said that I have something to do with that Aunt Zhao, or someone she knows, this is too ridiculous, right? After all, my background, others don't know, you still don't know? I have been on Tortoiseshell Island before, and then it is Sheng Mansion, I have never seen that group of people today!"
"But why did Aunt Zhao stare at you, don't say that you didn't notice her eyes, it was from seeing your face clearly, she was reluctant to blink!" Sheng Weiqiao felt that she had been deceived, and angrily patted the small table between the two, and said angrily, "You have nothing to do with her, what does her look mean, and then she changed her way to keep us?!Why doesn't she stare at me??"
Sheng Sleeping Crane looked solemn: "So I'm very worried now! After all, you know that my details can't be exposed! At least before the tortoiseshell island is recruited, it can't be exposed! I originally thought that Nanfeng County is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and who of the people here will be idle and have nothing to do, and send someone to Nanfeng County to check my heels? But now, although I don't know what Aunt Zhao's intentions are, whether she is not good, it is a big matter, but it must be guarded against!"
This hand was used very well to divert attention, Sheng Weiqiao really became nervous when he heard this, and changed color and said: "You mean, then Aunt Zhao did it on purpose? What does she want to do?!"
Sheng Sleeping Hexin said that Lao Tzu racked his brains in the carriage for a long time, waiting for you to ask!
