Chapter 399: General Zuo Weiwei
The suggestion of letting Li Shengxu accompany Sheng Weiqiao to the south was indeed from the eldest princess of Wuyang.
However, the reason why the eldest princess made this request was because after Li Shengxu escaped from Sheng Weiqiao's hands, he was discovered by the person sent by the eldest princess to find him not long after.
Li Shengxu was afraid that the eldest princess of Wuyang would be worried, so he dismissed him, but he lingered on the sickbed for many years, although he had already inherited his father's title, but it was not yet time for him to be the master of the house.
Although he repeatedly threatened the subordinate, the subordinate turned around and immediately went to tell the eldest princess of Wuyang the details of the incident.
Needless to say, the eldest princess of Wuyang, who was still talking in front of the Empress Dowager Meng, was worried at the time, and the Empress Dowager also said after hearing it: "Quickly find the child, and the mourning family will ask you personally...... Don't be bullied by anyone, right?"
Then Li Shengxu came to these two, no matter how reluctant he was, it was impossible to say nothing like his subordinates.
And Empress Dowager Meng and Princess Wuyang heard that he accidentally fell down the steps because he was stealing Sheng Weiqiao and being chased by Sheng Weiqiao, and Sheng Weiqiao also reminded him in advance that there were steps, but he deceived the girl because of himself, thinking that the girl wanted to pit herself by drawing a gourd, and she fell without believing it, and she was very speechless.
After being speechless, the Queen Mother smiled with the eldest princess and said, "It seems that the mourning family will have a wedding wine soon." ”
The eldest princess of Wuyang didn't know about Rong Sleeping Crane and Sheng Weiqiao at all, thinking that she had proposed marriage to the old lady of the Sheng family before, and the old lady Sheng also agreed.
Although at the flower viewing banquet, his son's contact with Sheng Weiqiao didn't seem to be very smooth, but the young man, his mind changed quickly, wouldn't it be better again at this time?
Even kissed the ...... The son ran away after kissing at that time to tease other girls, and it was impossible to be really irresponsible.
He also smiled at the moment: "When the time comes, I will have to give you a gift!"
"It's okay, the queen will earn it back for the mourning family. Empress Dowager Meng reminded her with a smile, "This family affair was the queen's beginning, can you thank the queen for a generous gift when you turn around?"
They talked and laughed, and Li Shengxu, who was temporarily ignored at the bottom, opened his mouth several times to say that he still had a rival in love, and it was a fierce rival, but although he was well protected by Princess Wuyang, he still did not lose his innocent side.
At this time, he secretly thought: "The reason why the Queen Mother likes Kang Zhao is not only because Kang Zhao will please them, but also has a lot to do with Kang Zhao not belonging to the second uncle's faction." At this moment, if I say that Kang Zhao and Mizhen's cousin have an ambiguous relationship, I'm afraid neither of them will be able to please them!"
He decided to wait until he went back in the evening and then tell the eldest princess of Wuyang alone.
In this case, the Empress Dowager Meng and the eldest princess of Wuyang talked more and more for a long time, and even talked about what the name of the first child of Li Shengxu and Sheng Weiqiao should be, and the queen mother suddenly remembered, so she reminded the eldest princess of Wuyang: "By the way, the Kang Zhao family is also at the banquet today, do you want to send someone to talk to her family? Maybe that girl is complaining about her grievances in front of her grandfather and grandmother at this moment! If the Sheng family thinks that Shengxu is frivolous, it will not be good!" Those people in the Sheng family have never seen Shengxu a few times, so this misunderstanding may not be unsuccessful!"
The eldest princess of Wuyang nodded yes when she heard this, and immediately sent her close attendants to whisper to Old Lady Sheng.
At this time, the old lady Sheng, who was worried about how her granddaughter was coaxed by Rong Sleeping Crane, suddenly thought of a plan, and said to the eldest princess's attendant: "My eldest daughter-in-law, that is, Qiao'er's biological mother, will be born in July. Therefore, after going back today, Qiao Er will leave to return to Nanfeng County, this is a long way, the young man's heart is uncertain, after a few months, whether Yichun Hou still sees her may not be, so the eldest princess's love, I am afraid that my Sheng family can only understand it!"
After these words were transferred to the side hall, the queen mother smiled and said to the eldest princess: "The old lady of the Sheng family is worried that after the decision is settled here, Kang Zhao will go back to Nanfeng County, and here Shengxu has changed his mind again and taught his granddaughter to be embarrassed!"
Because at this time, Li Shengxu felt embarrassed to hear them talk about himself and Sheng Weiqiao's children, and had already avoided outside, so the Queen Mother whispered, "No wonder he thinks so! Do you want to enjoy the flower banquet for a few days now? Shengxu doesn't like it for a while...... How can he rest assured?"
The eldest princess of Wuyang felt that it was very reasonable, and said in a deep voice: "Then this matter is difficult, let's settle the matter now, first, the time is a little rushed, and second, Kang Zhao's biological mother is about to give birth, how can she go back to guard, this trip is inevitable, in case Shengxu really empathizes with her after she leaves, but it doesn't end well." ”
"If this is not settled, Shengxu will be fine, and it has dragged on for all these years, and it will be nothing to get married later. But Kang Zhao is already sixteen, in case she goes back to Nanfeng County like this, her father and mother will simply find her a husband in the county, won't the two children just miss it?"
"Sheng Xu's body is much better now, right?" the Queen Mother thought about it and said, "Or, you just let him find an excuse to accompany Kang Zhao to Nanfeng County?"
The eldest princess was a little worried: "It's much better, it's just good." Didn't Fang just fall again? It's been a long journey, and he's never been out of such a long distance before, and he doesn't know if he can stand it?"
Empress Dowager Meng smiled: "It's really inconvenient to travel thousands of miles back and forth, but if you want to say what kind of tossing method it is, it may not be? After all, you look at Kang Zhao, such a delicate girl, just came to Chang'an, don't you have the spirit to choke with the mourning family? It can be seen that this road is not as bumpy as you think. ”
He also said, "The mourning family remembers that the husband's family is the Guilu County Wang family, and although Guilu County and Nanfeng County are not adjacent to each other, they are only separated by a Cangwu County...... If Shengxu goes south, he can just take a look at the eldest sister. I'm afraid that this kid has forgotten what the eldest sister looks like, right?"
At the mention of the eldest daughter Li Shengxi, the eldest princess Wuyang couldn't help but be moved, and sighed: "Don't talk about Shengxu, even the son, I only remember what Shengxu looked like on the day she left the pavilion, and I don't know what she looks like now?"
So the eldest princess asked her attendant to discuss with the old lady Sheng that Sheng Weiqiao should accompany Sheng Weiqiao to the south, and the old lady secretly thought: "When Mizhen's kid was in Nanfeng County before, I don't think I should have anything to do with Qiao'er. Mainly at that time, he was busy studying, Qiao Er was busy idle, the two said that they were brothers and sisters, but in fact, they didn't meet very often. Speaking of which, there will be such a trouble, mainly because they go north together, the road is far away, and the building boat is spacious, just such a place, this day and night get along, isn't it just a long-term love?"
I thought that if Li Shengxu accompanied Sheng Weiqiao back to Nanfeng County this time, maybe after a long time, he left Chang'an again, and Sheng Weiqiao forgot about Rong Sleeping Crane and fell in love with Li Shengxu instead?
I gladly agreed immediately.
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao's hesitation at this time, the old lady used water grinding skills, both soft and hard, plus showing weakness on the spot with tears, and finally Sheng Weiqiao was relieved and agreed...... Sheng Weiqiao didn't agree and couldn't help it, the old lady didn't let others avoid it from beginning to end, and in the eyes of Mrs. Ming and others, she didn't leave the cabinet, Li Shengxu didn't marry a wife, the two of them don't say that they are a pair made in heaven, but they are very suitable regardless of family background and talent.
That being the case, there's an opportunity to get in touch, so why not give it a try?
Mrs. Ming said: "I just asked the family to accompany you to the south, and I didn't say that I must marry you to him! If you really don't like him, we are reluctant to wronged you!"
Sheng Weiqiao said: "But the lonely men and widows are on the same boat......"
"Isn't it just the two of you on the ship!" said the old lady unhappily, "As far as the two of you are concerned, will you drive the boat?"
"I don't want to think about what happened to your sisters on Lao Tzu's birthday three years ago! Now that you have come to Chang'an for a trip, you have been crowned the county lord, and there is a marquis from the eldest princess to accompany you back to Nanfeng County, such a glorious thing to honor your ancestors, you are still afraid of losing face!?"
Sheng Weiqiao was speechless by what his grandfather and grandmother said, and he was embarrassed to say that he was with Rong Sleeping Crane in front of so many people, so he had to acquiesce in the matter, and said in his heart: "After Rong Sleeping Crane heard about the day of my return, Bacheng will quietly come over to see me, and when the time comes, I will tell him about it, let him find a way!"
At this time, the old lady Sheng and the old lady Ming, who had been tossing for a day, were also tired, and they were about to tell everyone to disperse and go to their own rooms, but the people outside came in and said: "The county lord Jingshu is at the back door, ask if it is convenient to talk to the county lord of Kangzhao alone?"
The old lady and Mrs. Ming were puzzled, and asked the next person: "What is the matter with the county lord of Jingshu?"
The man shook his head: "The county lord looked a little anxious, but he refused to say anything." The little ones are humble and don't dare to ask. ”
"Please go to the courtyard where Qiao Er lives to talk!" "Old lady Sheng and Mrs. Ming are very unfamiliar with Huan Yehe, and they don't know the relationship between this and Rong Sleeping Crane, thinking that they are girls of the same age on the left and right, and they are also the county lords of the queen mother, and they are still famous queens, although they come to visit rashly, it is not easy to refuse them, so they ordered, "Qiao'er, you see what she is looking for you, if you need our help, then send someone to tell you!"
Sheng Weiqiao agreed, and his heart jumped up a little, secretly wondering if he was allowed to sleep in the night?
Who knew that a moment later, after the two met in the small courtyard where she lived, Sheng Weiqiao cleared the scene according to Huan's hint of the night meeting, and this famous lady, who had always been calm and calm, said quickly: "Your Majesty wants to kill General Zuo Weiwei!"
Sheng Weiqiao was stunned when he heard this: "Why is this?"
Then he was puzzled, "The county lord wants to save this general, but it's useless for you to come to me, right? First, I don't know this general at all, and second, where did I get the ability to go to Your Majesty to intercede for this general?"
"Why did Your Majesty kill him?" Huan Yehe sneered when he heard this, and said, "Today, you have also watched the boat race on Chunbo Lake, right?
Sheng Weiqiao didn't like her aggressive tone, frowned, and said, "I know, I know, but I didn't see it with my own eyes." ”
At that time, she and Empress Meng were still waiting for reinforcements in Tingzhou, who had the kung fu to care about Concubine Shu's life or death!
"The reason why Concubine Shu had an accident is said to be because the wind is strong on the lake, and the concubine's posture is as light as a swallow, and her robe is the wind when she dances, so she is blown off the deck. When Huan Yehe said this, he carefully observed her expression and said, "It is a question of whether the concubine can stand up again in the future after this fall!
"The Chunbo Lake Water Division is presided over by General Zuo Weiwei, and it will become a punching bag at this time!!"
She was in a hurry at this time, and she didn't bother to go around in circles, so she got straight to the point, "I heard that before the concubine didn't go upstairs to the boat, she once reprimanded you by the lake?
The corners of Sheng Weiqiao's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what expression he should put on his face?
It's just that Huan Yehe ignored her embarrassment and made a direct request: "General Zuo Weiwei was my grandfather's confidant when he was here, and he has been haunted by what happened to my grandfather all these years...... This man is loyal and talented, and it would be chilling to die because of such a calamity......!
"Wait!" Sheng Weiqiao said busily, "Although my grandfather's family has a lot of filial piety for the concubine, but such a big thing ......"
"Ancestor, who expects you to intercede with the concubine?" Huan Yehe said angrily, "I'm looking for Rong Sleeping Crane!! he didn't go back to Gaomi Wangfu after the banquet was over!
Sheng Weiqiao was at a loss and said: "I don't know! Have you asked the palace, especially the princess Gaomi? I see that the princess loves him very much, it is impossible not to know his whereabouts, right?"
Huan Yehe sneered: "Who knows what happened to the Gaomi Palace, after I rushed over, the door over there was not opened, and it was said that there was something in the mansion, and it was inconvenient to receive anyone's visit at this time...... I've been asking for a long time, and I've confirmed that Rong Sleeping Crane is not in the palace at this time!"
"I don't know where he's going. Sheng Weiqiao remembered what Gongsun Yingjiang said before, Rong Sleeping Crane has a Zhuangzi outside the city, but where it is, firstly, she is not very clear, and secondly, she knows that Rong Sleeping Crane may not trust Huan Yehe very much, and she is not sure if this news can be told to her?
So after thinking about it for a while, he said, "Well, I'll go and tell my grandfather and grandmother about it, and ask them to let me go out, and take you to the place where we used to live, and ask his maid." Maybe they'll know?"
Fortunately, Old Lady Sheng and Old Lady Ming were very sympathetic to General Zuo Weiwei's tragic encounter, even Old Lady Sheng, who didn't like Sheng Weiqiao's contact with Rong Sleeping Crane, nodded and agreed that Sheng Weiqiao went out after asking what happened.
So a moment later, wiping the hours of curfew, the two hurried to the mansion and happened to bump into the sleeping crane that was bathing.
