A second ★ of small △ said § net.. Wonderful novels to read for free!
When the county lord of Deping heard this, he subconsciously lowered his eyes to hide the embarrassment and sadness in his eyes: if she wasn't really desperate, she was also born to the prince and the daughter of the county lord, why would she be embarrassed to come here?
Not to mention pleasing the daughter of this five-rank loose official who came from afar?
Meng Guihuan and those people talked about and despised her, she didn't know it......
"It's not a secret, I'm very interested in the scenery of Nanfeng County, but because of my identity, I have never left Chang'an and Zuojin in my life, and all kinds of things can only be peeked at from the records of the scrolls. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Lord Deping tried his best to suppress his surging sourness, and raised his head to reveal a smile with anticipation and yearning, "But I don't know if Miss Sheng San has free time in the future, can you give me some advice?"
This request was somewhat unexpected by Sheng Weiqiao.
However, it made her even more suspicious: You, a county lord born and raised in Chang'an, even if you are well-read and have seen records about Nanfeng County, how can you be interested?
This is not that Sheng Weiqiao underestimated his hometown, but because at this time, in the minds of the people of the world, the Central Plains, where Chang'an is located, is of course a first-class rich and noble land;
In other places, it cannot be said that all of them are poor and remote, but they are inferior after all.
Nanfeng County is far away from Chang'an, close to the 100,000 mountains inhabited by hundreds of barbarians, even after the development of shipping, relying on several natural harbors, it is very rich A group of bandits and local businessmen, such as Tortoiseshell Island and Nanfeng County, but also because of the high emperor, the fierce folk customs, miasma, poisonous snakes and mosquitoes, etc., it has always been regarded as a degrading place.
Even if the county lord of Deping has nothing to rely on, he is a county lord anyway, and he grew up in the palace of the Queen Mother, and his eyes have been touched since he was a child, why is he suddenly interested in Nanfeng County?
"Where is she interested in Nanfeng County?!!! she is interested in our Sheng family," Sheng Weiqiao was very vigilant and said secretly, "Yes, Mrs. Xiang before, in front of us, was gentle and smiling, amiable, and helped the Queen Mother tease the eighth sister, how do you look at it, she is a kind lady." What was the result? When she turned her head and entered the warm pavilion with the Queen Mother, she became suspicious of the entire Sheng family! If it weren't for the help of Uncle Chongxin, we wouldn't know how we died, and we would definitely suffer a big loss! Not to mention that this county lord of Deping, she had been asking the truth face to face for a while! How could she easily dispel her suspicions? !
In particular, the county lord of Deping is very likely to take the real culprit who caused Rong Qing's drunken and serious injury as a vote for returning to his father's house!
That's even harder!
It's even a desperate gamble!
Sheng Weiqiao was terrified, and also clenched his fists in his sleeves: Although your suspicion is right, if you want to return to your father's house, I will also protect your father's family!
Therefore, I will not disclose any news to you!!
We also want to cut off all ways and possibilities for you to find out the truth!!
Thinking like this, Sheng Weiqiao kept smiling: "I see, but we are going to disappoint you, the county lord! Because the rules at home are tight, the three of us are not out of the door, and we have never seen the Lantern Festival once!
Without waiting for the county lord of Deping to answer, he said, "And this time, we are mainly the elders in the family who can't get out, and we don't worry that my brother will come to Chang'an alone, so we can let a few of us go with us so that we can be companions." After a few days, my brother will finish the exam, and we will go back to Nanfeng County. Calculate the time, after returning from this banquet today, you will probably be able to pack your luggage. ”
The latter words, Sheng Weiqiao was not all for the purpose of prevaricating the county lord of Deping.
After all, when they came, they had so much luggage, especially Sheng Weiqiao, who had the most things alone, more than the other people's things combined!
There is no way, because when she set off, not only did she have the luggage that Sheng Lanci and his wife helped pack, but also the things given by the other elders of the Sheng family such as Mrs. Sheng, and the Feng family and the Xuan Yu family also had a thousand instructions for their only niece to go out for the first time, which was manifested in the gift of the entanglement and the luggage they thought they needed.
…… Although they were very disapproving and even angry about this niece's trip, after all, blood is thicker than water, and after the Feng family and the Xuan Yu family privately expressed their opposition to the Feng family, they still had no choice but to pack several cars of things for Sheng Weiqiao, for fear that this pampered girl would be wronged after leaving Nanfeng County.
So even if a lot of those luggage are not even opened now, but considering the time spent on the return journey, all the boxes should at least be opened and inspected, and if there is anything that needs to be sorted out and dried, they must be packed in advance.
Otherwise, when you get to the ship, you will find that there is a problem, and it will be troublesome to get it again.
After all, the climate at sea is changeable, and when they calculate the time, they will catch up with the rainy day in the south of the Yangtze River when they go back. At that time, even if the deck of the building ship is spacious, it will be inconvenient.
Therefore, Sheng Weiqiao really planned to wait for the Lantern Festival, and then arrange for the green brocade and them to pack up and prepare for the return trip.
Seeing this, the face of the county lord of Deping turned red instantly, just like a pig's liver, and looking at her eyes, she was even more full of resentment, as if she had been quenched with poison.
Sheng Weiqiao only said that he had broken her mind, and he expected that the county lord would hate him. can't help but secretly rejoice that this girl is rejected by the Gaomi Palace, even if she relies on Concubine Mo to gain a foothold in Xinshou Palace, it seems that Concubine Mo's attention to this granddaughter is here, otherwise why is she twenty years old, and the concubine still doesn't find a husband for her?
Sheng Weiqiao was not afraid of such a resentment against the county lord of Deping, and watched Sheng Weiwei drink the last mouthful of lily and red date porridge with a calm expression, and said, "Let's go out, lest Miss Meng Shiyi find us to worry after greeting people." ”
Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiwei were about to answer, but they didn't expect that at this time, the door of the wing room was pushed open, and it happened to be Meng Guihuan who walked in.
When he saw Sheng Weiqiao and the others, he showed a relieved expression and said, "Where are you here?" I just said a few words to them, but I didn't expect you to disappear when I turned around! ”
"When I came out in the morning, I used some porridge. We're fine, my sister is young and hungry, I just saw you talking to someone, I was afraid that I would disturb you when I went in to find you, so I said to the maid here. Sheng Weiqiao said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I knew that I should have left a maid to wait for you." ”
"It's not a big deal, what are you doing outside like this?" Meng Guihuan walked over, pulled an embroidered stool and sat down, and saw that there was a jade dew group carved crisp on a few plates that was intact, and no one had touched it, so he picked it up casually, took a bite, and said, "Actually, I'm hungry too, it's cold this day, and our girls' families generally don't eat much." Where is the little thing to use in the morning? I just said that after the birthday banquet is completed, I will have to wait for the people to come before the banquet can begin...... Fortunately, Miss Sheng Ba is here, let's use her name to pad our stomachs. ”
As they spoke, the county lord of Deping, who was deliberately ignored, got up and left quietly.
After she left, Meng Guihuan threw the jade dew dough carved cake back on the plate, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth and fingers, stuffed it to the maid, and pulled another clean one out of her sleeve, just snorted coldly: "You didn't promise her anything, did you?"
Sheng Weiqiao was slightly surprised: "What?"
"I heard from a few young ladies just now that when I saw that you asked for some pastries and snacks for Miss Sheng Ba, I didn't plan to come over so soon, for fear of disturbing you. Meng Guihuan raised his chin towards the door and said, "Who know, I heard that this person is entangled with you...... Then hurry here, lest you fall for her without knowing it!"
Seeing that Sheng Weiqiao and the three of them were confused, Meng Guihuan glanced at the maid behind her, and asked her to go to the door to watch, then leaned over slightly and whispered: "This Deping County Lord just found you, you can know that you must be kind and pleasant, and even apologize for questioning your Bishui County last time...... Finally, find another excuse to say that I want to associate with you, yes or no?"
"That's pretty much it......" Sheng Weiqiao was surprised when he heard this, and said in his heart that Meng Guihuan guessed so accurately, it couldn't be that he knew the truth about Bishui County, right?
I heard Meng Guihuan snort: "It's not once or twice that she has done this! It's a shame that she has this face! I tell you, you must not agree to her, even if you do, you must repay the debt when you turn back, unless you want her to be your sister-in-law!"
Sheng Weiqiao and the three of them were stunned: "Sister-in-law?!"
"Why do you say she took the initiative to pester you?" Meng Guihuan pouted, "It's because I heard that your sister's brother has just reached the crown during the Chinese New Year, and he is one year older than her, and he is not married, I want to see if I have taken the opportunity to associate with you to catch up with the grand prince!"
“…… Our family has its own rules, and my brother is also a person who abides by etiquette, if it weren't for his relatives, he wouldn't have rashly met our female companion!" Sheng Weiqiao felt speechless when he heard this, "What's more, parents are in charge of marriage matters, and this county lord ......"
Thinking that the county lord of Deping had not married so far, she shook her head and said in her heart, no wonder this county lord is in such a hurry...... It's just that the more you ruin your reputation like this, the more you can't get married?
"She's going to be sick and rushed to the doctor!" Meng Guihuan had a clear dislike in her words, but it was no wonder to hear her explain what happened, "Let me tell you, if you give her a chance, she will only be good with the grand prince." Do you know what she did at that time? She actually wanted to drug my sixth brother and forced my sixth brother to marry her after cooking raw rice...... Fortunately, my sixth brother was quick-witted and saw through her hands and feet in the tea in time, and he stayed away from her from now on!"
Sheng Weiqiao was taken aback: "Did she do such a thing in Xinshou Palace?!"
