With that said, it's getting dark outside. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sheng Weiqiao saw that the topic on the island had already been said about the same, so he pretended to be tired and said: "It's not early, I want to go back and rest early, and I'll talk about it later!"
Sheng Sleeping Crane said, "It's dark, stay for dinner!" I'll send you back later?"
"Just a few steps on the island, what is there to give?" Sheng Weiqiao didn't want to see him at all, after all, when he saw him, he doubted his background, and when he doubted his background, he thought of the advantages he had taken advantage of over the years - even if Sheng Lanci and his wife had never instilled in her the concept of "starvation is a small thing, a big loss of moderation is a big thing", but the cognition formed by the environment in which she grew up since she was a child also made Sheng Weiqiao unable to muster up the courage to face the fact that she had many intimate contacts with a foreign man who was not related by blood.
So he refused without hesitation, "Besides, you didn't bring a cook, I may not be used to eating your food here!"
"The island has just been in chaos, and you only brought a maid here. Originally, when their "brother and sister" came to the island, when Sheng Lanci and his wife prepared half a boat of people for their daughter to serve, they also wanted to prepare a copy for Sheng Sleeping Crane, but Sheng Sleeping Crane went to the island this time to have serious things, but unlike Sheng Weiqiao, he had a leisurely attitude of traveling and relaxing, and he was impatient to serve a group of people in front and behind, so he didn't ask for any of them, let alone bring a special cook.
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao's refusal, he couldn't help choking, but immediately said, "If it gets dark today, it may not be safe for you two weak women to flow back." I'll give you a ride!"
As soon as he said this, Sheng Weiqiao also changed color slightly, and took advantage of the situation to propose: "It's been two days since I came to the island, and I don't think it's interesting here." Besides, something has just happened on the island, and I think that Lord Gongsun must be busy with affairs—why don't we take our leave?"
Sheng Sleeping Crane really didn't see her true thoughts about rushing back to Sheng Mansion, only that she thought that Tortoiseshell Island was not safe, and she was afraid that there would be an accident if she stayed.
Although he wanted to tell her that all this was within his plan, Sheng Weiqiao would not be in any danger at all, but after a little hesitation, he realized that even if he said so, Sheng Weiqiao might not believe it or not, and the most important thing was that a full explanation would reveal a lot of secrets that should not be passed on.
So after hesitating a little, he said briskly: "It's not okay tomorrow, tomorrow we have to go together to intercede with Ying Dun." But this time the incident was very big, and the island almost knew about it. Not to mention whether the eldest brother will agree on the spot, just say that if we just say such a thing and leave, I am afraid that everyone will think that we are negative and leave, so wouldn't we have to save the mustard?
"Three days?" Sheng Weiqiao was suddenly disappointed, she wished she would sail to sea tonight?
But she also knew that the sleeping crane would not let her return by boat alone - so the next three days were to be determined.
Sighing secretly, Sheng Weiqiao didn't have any spiritual instructions, "It's been said that it's okay for three days, and it's not allowed to grow any longer!"
Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled in response, and after raising his voice to call in Green Brocade and the people who were serving him here, his eyes turned to Green Brocade's empty hands, and he ordered his own people: "Go and bring a lamp! Get a thicker cloak!"
After a while, the man took the lantern and the cloak and came over, Sheng Sleeping Crane asked Lu Jin to take the lantern, and took the cloak himself - Sheng Weiqiao's master and servant thought that he wanted to wear it himself, but his hand shook, but he covered Sheng Weiqiao's head: "The wind is cold at night, and the obedient girl is carefully frozen!"
Seeing this, Lu Jin couldn't help blushing, and said guiltily: "Miss, it's the slave who was negligent!"
It was not early when they went out just now, as a close-fitting big girl, Lu Jin should have thought that it was probably already night when they came back, so he brought Sheng Weiqiao a cloak, a coat and the like to resist the cold of the night.
Now seeing Sheng Sleeping Crane filling this loophole for her, Lu Jin was full of shame and secretly blamed himself for not fulfilling his duties, and felt more and more that he had the opportunity to persuade Sheng Weiqiao to be kind to this eldest prince - as far as Sheng Weiqiao's consistent attitude towards this brother was concerned, Sheng Sleeping Crane could still think so thoughtfully for her, even if it was done for everyone to see, it was very rare!
After all, Sheng Sleeping Crane, who has the two achievements of the head of the case and Xie Yuan, is now no longer under Sheng Weiqiao in front of Old Lady Sheng.
In this case, he was just snubbing Sheng Weiqiao's sister, and no one could say anything, after all, the Sheng family knew that Sheng Weiqiao himself was not gentle and considerate to this brother.
Lu Jin's heart sank when he thought of this: "If this eldest prince is not really kind-hearted, cares about blood, and doesn't care about the young lady, then the city government is deep and can bear it...... If the former is okay, if the latter is the latter, the old lady will not be there in the future, and he will ...... to the young lady."
The big girl who was carrying the lantern in front of her was full of worries, and the two masters walking side by side behind were also in a heavy mood.
Sheng Weiqiao was more worried: she had to stay on Tortoiseshell Island for three days, in case she had a lot of dreams at night, what would happen to her in these three days?
I knew that I really shouldn't have promised Gongsun Yingjiang to come rashly!!
Sheng Sleeping Crane was mixed: the order on the island was under the control of the Wuyi Battalion, and it was not as chaotic and dangerous as Sheng Weiqiao thought.
So he didn't have to give it this way.
The most important thing is that he will not have no available manpower - for example, Gongsun likes them - put a bunch of things and went to the flower hall to talk to Sheng Weiqiao for a long time, and he will personally send them back, which means that he can't say that he will have to stay up all night tonight to finish the business!
If you want to put it aside, Sheng Sleeping Crane will definitely not waste so much time.
Even Fang Cai would not go to the flower hall to see Sheng Weiqiao in person, but would only ask her about her intentions and reply directly. Not to mention sending her back in person, even if the girl herself mentioned that it was too late and she was afraid that it would not be safe, he would at most casually call a subordinate to run an errand.
But now that he personally accompanied the front and back, Sheng Weiqiao was not only grateful, but had a cold expression that he owed her gold and silver, Sheng Sleeping Crane couldn't be a little disgusted, and he was a little worried that what he just said to her was a bit excessive, so that it left a bad impression on this girl?
"Sure enough, it's a good day, too much slack!" Sheng Weiqiao was restless for a moment, suddenly came back to his senses, and couldn't help but smile to himself, "When have I ever been so indecisive and hesitant in the past? It seems that the relaxation in the past two years is really not a little bit or two!"
He shook his head, and said in his heart, "And I am a fashionable and young man in the bandits' den, and although I have rich experience in intrigue over the years, I have never experienced the love of children because of my age. As the saying goes, Gentle Township is a hero's mound, the best way to dissipate the spirit in the chest, I didn't take it to heart in the past, this trip to the valley was originally just a trivial matter, but it made me uncertain to this day, and I lost my temper again and again - this red dust and wind and moon, really not to be underestimated!"
Immediately, I felt a sense of fear of discovering the key flaw, and secretly thought, "I have to understand this now! Otherwise, I will go to Chang'an in the future, which is the most prosperous place in the world, how can there be fewer beautiful women? Don't be crushed by a few pretty maids at will, it will become a joke!"
Thinking of this, Sheng Sleeping Crane suddenly felt that it was better to stay away from Sheng Weiqiao next.
First, he has something to do, and now is not the time to fall in love at all; second, judging from the previous considerations, this obedient girl is not a suitable wife candidate for him; third, he is not sure that Sheng Lanci will be happy to give this pearl to himself, and he is now in a critical period when he needs the help of the Sheng family, for the sake of safety, it is best to maintain the status quo to avoid accidents.
So after a while, he sent Sheng Weiqiao to the gate of the courtyard, and saw Gongsun Yingjiang, who heard the movement inside, come out to pick it up, nodded and left.
That night, both Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Sleeping Crane couldn't sleep well because of their hearts, but because they had made a decision about what to do in the future, they wouldn't be sleepless all night.
So in the early morning of the next day, Sheng Weiqiao was woken up by Lu Jin, got up and freshened up, went to the side hall and had breakfast with Gongsun Yingjiang, and the next person brought tea and water to let them rinse their mouths.
Seeing this, Gongsun Yingjiang hurriedly got up and thanked his younger brother on behalf of him.
Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Sleeping Crane naturally made her not have to say much: "Ying Dun is young and ignorant, and the lesson is just a lesson, if you don't come to us for this matter, we can't sit idly by if we know it." Originally, Gongsun Yingjiang still wanted to follow her, it's not that she didn't trust her aunt and uncle, the main thing was that she knew that Gongsun Yingdun had always been very opposed to Zhao'an, so that she didn't say anything about Sheng Sleeping Crane, and she didn't have a good impression of Sheng Weiqiao, even if this rebellion failed, when she was personally watched and punished by Gongsun Shu, she didn't admit her mistake - in case Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Sleeping Crane passed, this unconscious younger brother also had this attitude in public, but how could everyone step down?
And when she passed, she was willing to find an opportunity to persuade Gongsun Yingdun to be more interesting and stop looking for death by herself.
But Sheng Sleeping Crane reminded her: "There must be more than just big brother over there now, are you sure you want to go?"
Gongsun Ying Jiang didn't know what he thought of when he heard this, his face changed, and he didn't even mention the words of following the past.
After going out, Sheng Weiqiao asked him, "Who is there over there now besides Gongsun Haizhu?" Why didn't Ying Jiang mention it when he heard this?"
"It's some people under the hands of the eldest brother. If it was before, Sheng Sleeping Crane would definitely take the opportunity to laugh with her and tell her the reason, but last night he had already made up his mind not to play with fire, and at this moment he said plainly, "It's those who say that I shouldn't have saved Ying Jiang in the first place, and I should have used this opportunity to save the other male heirs of the eldest brother - they often don't have anything good to say when they see Ying Jiang, of course, Ying Jiang is not afraid of them anything, but whether or not to deal with Ying Dun lightly this time, they can also speak, Ying Jiang is worried that after he passes, they will make them decide to punish Ying Dun heavily, so they won't go." ”
Sheng Weiqiao was worried about the return date, and didn't notice the change in his attitude, only frowned: "These people are really hateful!"
She said this not because she was worried about Gongsun Yingdun, but because she was also a girl, she felt unfair for Gongsun Yingjiang.
Sheng Sleeping Crane didn't answer—so Sheng Weiqiao didn't say anything next.
The two of them went all the way to the council hall on the island in silence, and there were really seven or eight people gathered here, except for the youngest of the sea lord Gongsun Shu, the others looked at least forty miles away, and their appearance and bearing looked like the old man on the island, which was comparable to ordinary bandits.
Sheng Sleeping Crane said that these people looked down on Gongsun Yingjiang is daughter, and even regretted that this girl should not live after two years of the incident, but when they saw Sheng Weiqiao, who was also a female streamer, coming in, they did not slack off at all, and they all made amends for the fact that she was trapped in the valley two days ago, and said that she was handsome and elegant, and she came out of a big family at a glance, and being able to come to live on Tortoiseshell Island simply made this island full of splendor - in the final analysis: "It is worthy of being the pearl of the palm of the South Wind Scattered People!"
Sheng Weiqiao was very speechless when he heard this, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Gongsun Shu, and said in his heart that these people are not blindly belittling women, the key is to see if there is someone behind them, like they have their father Sheng Lanci as a backer, they are kind and gentle, it can be seen that Gongsun Yingjiang is considered by these people not to live, and the root cause is Gongsun Shu's neglect of his daughter.
She was secretly upset about Gongsun Yingjiang here, and Sheng Sleeping Crane over there had already directly explained her intentions: "I just came out of the valley yesterday, and I was patronizing and freshening up, so I didn't have time to tell the eldest brother and you." Although it is said that Ying Dun is the leader of this incident, who of us does not know that he is a child who is ignorant and has been used by others? Fortunately, although there was chaos on the island for a while, nothing serious happened after all, but the Wuyi battalion took this opportunity to arrest many people with ulterior motives. In this way, Ying Dun made a mistake and made a contribution to us!"
"So in my opinion, that's it for this time, right? Anyway, the eldest brother has already beaten him a few times and given him a long memory. ”
As soon as he said this, Gongsun Shu naturally objected, insisted on severely punishing Gongsun Yingdun, and then Sheng Shenghe pleaded again, Sheng Weiqiao also planned to say two good words, the scene was almost gone, and Gongsun Shu relented - the matter was over here.
However, Sheng Weiqiao thought about it well, but in fact, Gongsun Shu hadn't opened his mouth yet, but the others all changed their faces, and said in unison: "It's not a !!"
