Sheng Weiqiao, who didn't know the endless troubles, was very happy to catch the sampan that picked them up after noon, and the sampan rowed away from the beach, until Haixin was hoisted onto the big boat moored here and waiting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
She had just stepped on the deck of the big ship, and the pale-faced Gongsun Yingjiang pounced on her and asked one after another, "Auntie, auntie, is there anything wrong with you? Are you okay in the valley these two days? Are you injured and frozen?"
Sheng Weiqiao looked at her chaotic appearance, very moved, shook her hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine!"
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the sleeping crane who was talking to the sailor nearby, hesitated slightly, and finally said again, "Your little uncle used to live in that valley, and this time he is here, but after three or two days, where is it worth making a fuss?"
Gongsun Yingjiang still looked very panicked, and wanted to say something, but was pulled by the jade fan behind her, alluding to Sheng Sleeping Crane - she hurriedly swallowed the words that came to her mouth, grabbed Sheng Weiqiao, and said with a forced smile: "No matter what, my aunt has worked hard for the past two days...... It's windy on deck, let's go back to the cabin and talk?"
The aunt and nephew entered the cabin, and Gongsun Yingjiang personally made tea and melons and fruits for Sheng Weiqiao, and was about to get straight to the point, but the door was knocked, and it was the doctor in the green shirt scribe uniform who was ordered by Sheng Sleeping Crane to lead the medicine boy to Sheng Weiqiao's pulse: "The leader said that the cave is cold and wet, and the conditions are also simple, I am afraid that Miss Sheng's body is delicate, and she has accumulated cold in her body in the past two days without knowing it." ”
Sheng Weiqiao was ashamed of this, after all, in her opinion, it had always been Sheng Sleeping Crane who had been suffering from the cold in the past two days, not herself.
But not only did he inadvertently be rude to him, but he also deceived him afterwards and framed him for the fifth year of junior high school......
Now Sheng Sleeping Crane remembers himself like this, this is really ......
Sheng Weiqiao's cheeks suddenly rose with red clouds, in order to cover up this sudden gaffe, she quickly picked up the hot tea and drank a few sips, pretending to be calm: "For such a little time, just drink some hot tea to get rid of it." ”
The doctor thought she didn't want to take the pulse, so she said, "But ...... the chief's orders?"
"My brother just likes to make a big move. Sheng Weiqiao coughed dryly, stretched out his wrist, and Gongsun Yingjiang next to him hurriedly put his handkerchief on - Sheng Weiqiao nodded to her, turned to the doctor and said, "Then you can take a look!"
The doctor saw that Sheng Weiqiao did not have a cold, but said to her: "The body is a little weak, I think Miss Sheng is not used to the valley, and she has suffered in the past two days." When you go back, you have to make up for it. ”
When Gongsun Yingjiang heard this, he immediately said: "The black chickens raised on the island are fat this season, and when I go back, I will ask someone to stew two for my aunt!"
After sending the doctor out like this, Sheng Weiqiao took a sip of tea, and didn't wait for Gongsun Yingjiang to speak, and first said with concern: "From the moment you looked at the face, you seem to have something important to tell me?"
"Auntie, please save Ying Dun!" Gongsun Yingjiang was stunned for a moment, seemingly a little surprised, but after a short hesitation, tears suddenly fell, and he said suddenly, "He has always been a brainless person, otherwise when our eldest brother was still there, it would not have been his turn to go with me to be the same door for the little uncle - although my father has been trained again and again in the past two years, but the foundation is there, he is not that piece of material at all, is he just being used?" It's not that I'm excusing my brother, but I dare to pack the ticket: if it's just him, I can't think of such a vicious plan if I kill him!
Sheng Weiqiao listened to the clouds and mountains and fog covers: "Wait, wait, wait! What kind of evil plan do you say, what kind of evil plan do you have in the same door? I have been in the valley for the past two days, but I don't know anything! Can you tell me from the beginning?"
"It turns out that the little uncle didn't say anything to my aunt in the past two days?" Gongsun Yingjiang wiped his tears and choked up, "I think I'm afraid of making my aunt angry, right......?"
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao frowning, she sighed, stopped her emotion, and said the right thing, "After my little uncle was adopted as a righteous son by my grandfather, he actually followed my father all along—my aunt has probably heard of this in the past two years, right? At that time, our eldest brother was born not long ago, and he was still in swaddling clothes, so it was inconvenient for him to be taken out by his father. So my father raised my little uncle as a son, and he was very strict with my little uncle's teachings, but he was also very concerned about being strict at the same time. "When my uncle was about six or seven years old, he consulted with my father that it was time for him to find a monk. ”
"Auntie, you know, in our place, except for the account room who can read a few words, everyone else is blind - even my grandfather, to be honest, can only be regarded as a rough and can understand the official list of words. ”
Originally, my father didn't put the little uncle's request at ease, so he casually called an account office to teach him, thinking that he was just envious that people could read and hyphenate. As a result, the account room went to teach the little uncle for less than half a day, so he asked my father to return to his life, saying that the little uncle knew more words than him, but many allusions and rare words, the account room had never heard of it!"
"Only then did my father know that the gentleman asked by my little uncle was not the one who could read a few words—so he personally went out and tied an old boy from the shore to be my little uncle's teacher!"
When Gongsun Yingjiang said this, he found that Sheng Weiqiao's face was quite strange, and he subconsciously stopped talking, and said uneasily, "Auntie?"
"It's nothing, you go on!" Waving his hand, Sheng Weiqiao shook his head to indicate that it was okay, but he secretly gritted his teeth in his heart: "The teacher who co-wrote with him was kidnapped by Gongsun Haizhu!!!
She remembers that when Sheng Sleeping Crane returned to Sheng's house, because Sheng Weiwei hired a sister from Tianxianglou to slander this cousin in public on Mrs. Sheng's birthday, the cousins were both locked up in the ancestral hall, and they were scared to death by Sheng Sleeping Crane's design with phosphorus fire, and hugged his legs and dragged his arms and begged him to stay with him - at that time, the sisters didn't dare to fall asleep, in order to refresh themselves, Sheng Weiqiao asked about Sheng Sleeping Crane's past, what did the sleeping crane say at that time?
——Gongsun Shu felt that he was talented in studying, so he went out to help him hire a gentleman!
It's a shame that he has the face to speak!!
Gongsun Yingjiang didn't know Sheng Weiqiao's thoughts, and when he heard this, he continued: "After my little uncle studied for two years, he persuaded my father, saying that even if you are a bandit, you can't be so illiterate. ”
Sheng Weiqiao bowed his head and said, "This is very reasonable!"
"......" Gongsun Yingjiang had an expression of "Auntie, why are you so naïve", and only said after a while, "Auntie, you and the little uncle are worthy of being brother and sister, and there is probably one opinion in this family, that is, I think that if you can read, you can always read, okay? But you think, this is Tortoiseshell Island!"
She glanced at the jade fan, asked her to withdraw and guard the door, and leaned over slightly to Sheng Weiqiao, and then whispered, "As the saying goes, every righteous slaughter dog, the negative heart is mostly a scholar-although it is a little extreme, but it is not unreasonable! Auntie, you think, a person who has not studied is always stupider than a person who has studied and knows many truths." But stupidity has the advantage of being stupid, after all, smart people think a lot, and when they fight in front of the battle, they are more likely to be afraid of death! Even if the situation is not right, eighty percent will sell our family in exchange for their desperate survival and even the idea of wealth and prosperity!"
After all, she is the daughter of a family of bandits who have been accumulating years of pirates, although Gongsun Yingjiang is not very valued by Gongsun Shu, but he is not ambiguous about issues involving the fundamental interests of his family, "Even in normal times, you say that for my grandfather and my father, is it easy to manage a group of stupid people, or is it easy to manage a group of smart people who have read books and understood reason?"
"You know, our family is just a bandit, and they occupy Nanfeng County and the sea area near the left. This territory is not so vast that it is impossible to manage the need to be thirsty, aunt, you said that if one of the people under your command is smarter than the other, can my grandfather and my father still sleep?"
Sheng Weiqiao came to his senses and sighed: "At that time, my brother was also young and ignorant, so I thought it was to repay your father and them!"
Gongsun Yingjiang's eyes flashed, and then he said: "But isn't it? Because of this matter, my grandfather was very dissatisfied with my little uncle, and my father mediated it for several days before my grandfather agreed not to mention it." However, although my grandfather resolutely disagreed with the fact that his men should go to school in their spare time, he later sent Ying Dun to the old boy and asked him to attend classes with his little uncle. ”
After a pause, with a somewhat nostalgic tone, "Then my own mother is fighting with Ying Dun and his own mother, and everything has to be compared! After hearing that Ying Dun was sent over, I felt that even if I was a girl, I couldn't be compared! I went to my mother-in-law to serve twice, and begged my mother-in-law to agree, let me go to school with Ying Dun - speaking of which, the names of our sisters and brothers, as well as the little uncle, were all taken by that gentleman!"
"No wonder I said that your name doesn't sound like the sea lord's child!" Sheng Weiqiao said with relief when he heard this, "But why is his brother's name Sleeping Crane?" ”
The name of the Gongsun sister and brother, "Jiang" originally means a docile woman, and "Dun" has the meaning of sincerity, simplicity and honesty.
The names "Ying Jiang" and "Ying Dun" fully and straightforwardly reflect the desire to take celebrities - I hope that one of them will be gentle and tame, and the other will be kind and sincere.
It is normal for this name to be put on the family, but it does not match the style when it is used on the children of the Gongsun family, who have been bandits for four generations.
Gongsun's expectation for his children is not that his daughter is spicy and promising, and his son slaughters all over the world...... Is it?
However, Sheng Weiqiao is most curious about the word "sleeping crane", why can't he taste the expectations of this person's character?
Could it be that after the old boy came to the island, he knew that the reason why he would be targeted by the pirates was because Sheng Sleeping Crane was studious and very angry with him, so he randomly named him one?
As a result, he was thinking like this, but he heard Gongsun Yingjiang sigh: "The little uncle has extraordinary qualifications, and he is dedicated to learning." In contrast, our siblings are both mediocre and not so hardworking, and they still frolic while Mr. is lecturing, and even disturbs the younger uncle...... So after Mr. named the little uncle, I listened to Ying Dun and asked him to give him a big name, and he wrote these two names casually to fool us, but we were not serious in class at that time, and we didn't know the meaning of the name at all, so we happily agreed. ”
"After a few years, I realized that Mr. was actually disgusting us, and I got used to listening to it, and the people who called us were also used to it, so it was decided!"
Sheng Weiqiao: "......"
She tried to hold back a laugh and said, "That brother has a good name, do you know?"
"You know, wasn't the little uncle called Gongsun Ya before? It was taken by my father, because the little uncle was beautiful and handsome, so he took the word 'Ya'. After Mr. came to the island, he didn't say anything at first, but then he learned the origin of the little uncle's name, so he was very angry, saying that the little uncle was a dignified man, and it was really humiliating to name him by his appearance, so he must change his scientific name!"
"Mr. regarded the little uncle as a treasure and wanted to devote himself to cultivating him, so he took the word 'sleeping crane' as the name of the little uncle. It is not only to wish the little uncle a bright future like Kao peony in the future, but also to remember the sleeping crane fairy who will never see each other again in this life. ”
Sheng Weiqiao lowered his eyes to hide the complexity in his eyes, and said: "It turns out that there is such an inside story - I know why you said that Ying Dun is the same door as your brother, let's talk about this matter later, let's talk about it first, why do you want me to save Ying Dun?"
Gongsun Yingjiang originally followed the big boat for this matter. For this reason, he even stopped them under the pretext that the two maids were seasick, for fear that after taking them, after seeing Sheng Weiqiao, he would ask for warmth and intimate service, and he didn't find a chance to interject, and the boat entered the port.
It's just that because of Sheng Weiqiao's request, she can't help but satisfy her curiosity first.
Now Sheng Weiqiao took the initiative to turn the topic back to business, and she naturally couldn't ask for it: "The trap that blocked Taniguchi was done by Ying Dun! Not only that, after he trapped you and your little uncle, and even under the help of our uncle's old department, he gathered people to kill his father's residence in the back of the council hall, with the intention of ...... Trying to force Daddy to give up the position of Sea Lord to him!!"
ps: Do you remember the Douhua Club in the Tianxiang Pavilion?
The white goose ink pool breaks the spring water, and the sleeping crane purple building waits for the sky. ^_^
