Chapter 198: Sleeping Crane: If Lao Tzu is desperate...
In fact, Meng Guihuan didn't know Meng Guiyu's specific plan, but when she received the invitation herself, Meng Guiyu told her to be careful at that time and stay away from Aunt Jiaoyu and Mrs. Xiang as much as possible. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
So she naturally suspected that Meng Biyun's birthday banquet would have waves, and she would not spend it peacefully.
also regarded Sheng Weiqiao as her future sister-in-law, so she risked more of this mouth, otherwise she wouldn't have said this at all.
But Sheng Weiqiao hasn't been her sister-in-law after all, so Meng Guihuan's tone of disclosure is naturally limited, and he only said vaguely: "You also know about the discord between my eldest aunt and Aunt Jiaoyu." My fourteenth sister's good life, you said that the fifteenth sister and brother watched it, how could they not be more and more piercing? The two of them are used to being willful, and they are afraid that when they look at the lively scene, a group of people will gather around the fourteenth sister to congratulate and celebrate, and they can't hold back their temper and make impulsive moves? Anyway, you don't know them well, right?"
"Do you know that your two cousins and cousins may do something impulsive when the time comes, and call me to go?" Sheng Weiqiao was very speechless in his heart, and said tentatively: "This ...... If we have something to do on the spot, and no one can be polite, you see?"
"How can this be done?" But Meng Guihuan immediately shook his head when he heard this, and comforted, "Let you go to congratulate the fourteenth sister, it is the intention of my aunt and cousin Wuyang, if you don't go, isn't it not to give these two face?"
Speaking of which, I felt that this was a good opportunity to get closer, and said, "If you are really not at ease, when the time comes, we will join forces in the Guogong Mansion, and we will act together after entering, if there is anything that needs attention, I will tell you immediately!"
Seeing that Sheng Weiqiao was still hesitant, he was a little anxious, and lowered his voice, "Listen to me, if you don't receive the invitation for this banquet, it's okay! ”
"After all, Sister Fourteen...... Although she is a little indifferent, but you show your face in front of her, there is absolutely only good and no harm!"
"Trust me, you'll get it in a little while!"
Sheng Weiqiao glanced at her very helplessly, and said in her heart that it won't take a while, I will know now!
Because Meng Biyun is about to become the successor!
Maybe she will become the next Empress Dowager Meng in the future!
But even so, I still don't want to go, okay!?
However, the current lintel gap between the two sides, she doesn't want to go, she can only sigh secretly, and her heart says that it is a blessing or a curse that she can't avoid, and said: "I know, please ask Miss Eleven to take care of it when the time comes!"
So I inquired with Meng Guihuan about the preferences and taboos of the people in the Zhengguo Mansion, and left her for lunch, and after the meal, I saw that everything that should be asked was almost done, and Meng Guihuan also had to go back to prepare for the banquet, so Fang personally sent people to the door, and watched the carriage go away, before turning around and going back to the room.
Before entering the weeping flower gate, Sheng Sleeping Crane was already waiting under the corridor, frowning, and said: "Meng Shixi's birthday? It's just in the Zheng Guogong Mansion, I'm afraid that something will have to happen. ”
The news he has collected these days, don't look at the Zheng Guo Mansion now has Mrs. Zheng Guo, but the Xiang family has been out of favor for many years, although the queen mother is valued, and is friendly with the son Meng Boqin, but the queen mother is old, and her energy is not as good as before, and the main thoughts are currently on the future of the entire Meng family.
After all, Zheng Guogong is the only brother of the Empress Dowager Meng, among the four brothers of the Meng family, she has always been the most valued by the Empress Dowager Meng, and he has never been bad to the son Meng Boqin.
At most, that is, knocking and reminding from time to time.
Zheng Guogong didn't listen, it was impossible for Empress Dowager Meng to do anything to her younger brother for the sake of the former female official and the current brother-in-law, right?
What's more, Aunt Jiaoyu is very good at being a person, although the Empress Dowager Meng has always disliked her, she has never said a word against the Empress Dowager, that is, she is a pair of biological children, and she has never spared no effort to provoke Mrs. Xiang's mother and son, and her attitude towards the Empress Dowager Meng has always been obedient.
Because the son Meng Boqin is far away in northern Xinjiang, it is difficult for her to please her, but she has been courteous to the two young ladies of the Meng family, Meng Bilun and Meng Biwen, who have the same mother as Meng Boqin, but whenever these two husbands or children have any needs, as long as Aunt Jiaoyu knows, she will take the initiative to help.
Over the years, Meng Bilun and Meng Biwen have eaten her soft-mouthed, and they have short hands with her, and in front of Empress Dowager Meng and Meng Boqin, they will inevitably help her speak.
Therefore, both the Queen Mother and Meng Boqin did not approve of Zheng Guogong's favor and concubine killing his wife, but they never used drastic means to interfere in this matter.
Otherwise, with the identities and power of these two, it would be just a matter of raising your hand to deal with an aunt.
As a result, the current nominal hostess of Zheng Guogong's Mansion is Mrs. Xiang, but in fact it is Aunt Jiaoyu who is in charge.
Although because Meng Biyun was selected by the Empress Dowager Meng, well-informed people, such as the fourth room of the Meng family where Meng Guiyu is located, have quickly abandoned Aunt Jiaoyu and turned to Mrs. Xiang. However, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, after all, Aunt Jiaoyu can be in charge of the backyard of Zheng Guogong's Mansion as a concubine for many years, and she is by no means an idle person, her backer Zheng Guogong is still alive, and relying on Meng Biyun, who has not yet become a successor, is not enough to make her power collapse in a short period of time.
Sheng Sleeping Crane lives by himself, if he is in the position of Aunt Jiaoyu, he will definitely not sit still, let alone naively try to reconcile with Mrs. Xiang, but make a desperate bet and make a move against Meng Biyun!
Who called Mrs. Xiang herself not an opponent of Aunt Jiaoyu at all, and it was all because of this biological daughter that she had the hope of turning over?
And Mrs. Xiang is just such a biological daughter, as long as Meng Biyun has three longs and two shorts, and she can't succeed, the dilemma of Aunt Jiaoyu's mother and son will be solved!
If you are lucky, maybe Meng Lijiang, who is similar to Meng Biyun and is deeply favored by Zheng Guogong, can still replace Meng Biyun and become the successor?
After all, the Meng family finally contributed to this matter, and they would definitely not give up the plan to make the Meng family's daughter the successor because of a Meng Biyun's accident.
And Empress Dowager Meng's preference for Zheng Guogong is destined to give priority to Zheng Guogong's biological daughter. Zheng Guogong's original concubines are all grandmothers, and the same is true of the two daughters born to concubines in the early years, and the only two people to be in the boudoir are Meng Biyun and Meng Lijiang, as long as Meng Biyun is eradicated, unless the Empress Dowager Meng chooses from the second, third, and fourth rooms, she can only choose Meng Lijiang, right?
In this way, Aunt Jiaoyu can also be pardoned as a mother.
Even if she takes a step back, the Empress Dowager Meng is extremely angry at her actions, so that Zheng Guogong's affection is useless, and she would rather choose a successor from the second, third, and fourth rooms of the Meng family, and Aunt Jiaoyu will not suffer: after all, her grudge with Mrs. Xiang is deep, and she is not under the Empress Dowager Meng and Concubine Rou in the past, if Mrs. Xiang gains power, she will certainly follow in the footsteps of Concubine Rou, and the born Meng Lijiang and Meng Si'an will not be as lucky as King Guangling, and it will definitely end well. And if she ruined Meng Biyun and cut off hope of turning over to her wife, even if she was executed by the Empress Dowager Meng, Meng Lijiang and Meng Si'an were Zheng Guogong's biological flesh and blood after all, and the Empress Dowager Meng was most likely willing to give her niece and nephew a way to live.
In this way, after Meng Lijiang and Meng Si'an lost the protection of their biological mother and were disgusted by the Queen Mother, they only relied on the favor of their elderly biological father, even if the future must be difficult, it is better than the mother and son falling into the hands of Mrs. Xiang and letting Mrs. Xiang flatten and pinch the circle!
Although Sheng Sleeping Crane has never seen that Jiaoyu aunt, he only sees that this woman can suppress Mrs. Xiang, who has two backers of Empress Dowager Meng and Meng Boqin, for many years, and knows that it is definitely not easy to get along.
Eighty percent of her would choose to do so!
In this way, Meng Biyun's birthday banquet is as dangerous as you can imagine!
However, the Meng family invited Sheng Weiqiao, Sheng Weiwei and Gongsun Yingjiang to the three female dependents, but they did not invite Sheng Sleeping Crane, and it was impossible for Sheng Sleeping Crane to take the initiative to ask to participate in the birthday banquet of other girls.
He can't go along, but where can he rest assured that Sheng Weiqiao is three?
After thinking about it for a long time at this moment, I couldn't help but say, "I don't think it's better not to go, on the day of departure, send someone to Chongxinbo's Mansion to report the illness! ”
"Miss Meng Shiyi just said something extraneous, and I also think that this birthday banquet is not peaceful!" Sheng Weiqiao sighed, but shook his head, "But if you are sick, I think it's better to forget it, after all, what Miss Meng Shiyi just said makes sense, this banquet is the head of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Wuyang, and the Queen Mother has approved it, if Miss Meng Shiyi comes to the door today, we will say this reason, and it will be okay." ”
"Now she knows that we are fine, and suddenly she is sick, how can she not guess the reason? After all, we are not familiar with her, but the Queen Mother is her aunt, and Miss Meng Shishi is also her cousin. Even if she is promised a hush money, their Meng family often sees each other, even if they promise to keep it secret at this time, if they don't carelessly say that they leaked their mouths when they turn around, we may not know!"
"There are too many people to offend at that time, and eighty percent of them will drag down Uncle Tu Shi! Fortunately, according to Miss Meng Shiyi, everyone who is kind to the Meng family will be present that day, so many people, even if there is an accident, it may not happen to involve us?"
While speaking, the two had already entered the study, and Yiliu, who was serving inside, received Sheng Sleeping Crane's eyes, and after quickly making tea, he withdrew with interest and brought them the door.
The two sat down on the couch a few times, and after taking a sip of tea, Sheng Shenghe thought about it for a while, and then frowned and said, "This incident is not trivial......
Originally, he was afraid that Sheng Weiqiao would say things like "Chang'an is too terrible, I want to go back to Nanfeng County as soon as possible", and some speculations were all in his heart, so he refused to tell this girl.
But this will be worried in his heart, think about it for a while, and still reveal, "Didn't you say before that when you first entered the palace to meet her, the fifteenth lady of the Meng family told Miss Meng 14 in public that she was punished by the Queen Mother, and she knelt outside the warm pavilion in fright to plead, but was poured a basin of ice water on Miss Meng Fourteen's head? ”
"I didn't think that the last time you entered the palace and met the sisters of the Meng family, Miss Meng Fifteen even intensified her targeting of Miss Meng Fourteen, so that she was expelled from the imperial city by the Queen Mother in public...... In my opinion, this is not because Miss Meng 15 is arrogant, but because this is the collusion of Jiaoyu's mother and son, and it is for Zheng Guogong to see!"
When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, his heart was full of joy: "Brother is ......?"
