A second ★ of small △ said § net.. Wonderful novels to read for free!
When Sheng Weiqiao was in the valley, he guessed from Sheng Sleeping Crane's various abnormal behaviors and words that the tortoiseshell island was afraid that it would not be peaceful in the past two days, and even Gongsun Shu, the sea lord, was estimated to be in danger - at this moment, he was not very surprised to hear Gongsun Yingjiang's words, but he couldn't figure it out: "Ying Dun is still a year younger than us, and he doesn't seem to have any outstanding achievements before, he has joined forces with your uncle's old department to target your father and brother, have you ever thought about how to suppress the people under him even if the matter is completed?"
In a place on the shore that pays so much attention to etiquette, righteousness and shame, there are endless things about slaves and bullying masters!
Even if it is the Son of Heaven and the young emperor ascends the throne, if there is no powerful queen mother curtain auxiliary government, there are many people who are governed by powerful ministers - even if there is a powerful queen mother curtain down, the little emperor has to do a fight with the queen mother and relatives when he grows up, so as to have the opportunity to regain power.

What's more, the fist of Tortoiseshell Island is a nest of righteous pirates - I think that Gongsun Shu, as the only son of Gongsun Lao's sea lord, was made a young sea lord when he was a child, and he paid attention to cultivation in various ways, but because Sheng Sleeping Crane took on a lot of dangerous missions for him, he was questioned by everyone.
As far as Gongsun Yingdun is concerned, he is not the eldest son of Gongsun Shu, he has not been seriously cultivated when he is young, and he has only been a young sea master for less than two years.
Such a simple truth, a smarter child can think that the fourteen-year-old Gongsun Yingdun can't see clearly?
For a while, Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but wonder if there was a lobbyist who made Gongsun Yingdun's disobedience and made a fool of Gongsun Yingdun?
Gongsun Yingjiang obviously felt very tricky about this question, pursed his lips, and then said with a wry smile: "How else can I say that he has no brains?"
"This is confused, it's not that the three words 'no brain' can cover it!" Sheng Weiqiao looked at her meaningfully, "Moreover, Ying Dun is the biological son of Gongsun Haizhu, and it is said that it is natural for Lao Tzu to beat his son." What's more, what this will do is to put it on the shore, and Gongsun Hai will mainly kill him to clean the door, but I am afraid that many people will also applaud it-this kind of thing, even if your righteous grandfather and my father are here, I am afraid that it is not easy to stand by and speak, let alone me?"
Gongsun Yingjiang understood what she meant: if she didn't explain things clearly, and then use perfunctory words such as "no brains" and "confused", she would not rashly interfere in Gongsun's family affairs.
"Little uncle is so troublesome!" Gongsun Yingjiang bit his lip, thinking about how much he wanted to reveal, and secretly complained in his heart, "What do you do to guide this aunt to get close to the old lady of the Xuanyu family?"
However, looking at Sheng Weiqiao's unwavering gaze, Gongsun Ying Jiang was stunned for a long time, and he could only compromise: "Ying Dun didn't approve of the little uncle going to Chang'an to take the exam, so he did this!"
Sheng Weiqiao was surprised when he heard this, and said, "Why? Does he want his brother to give up his career and return to Tortoiseshell Island to take over the foundation of the Gongsun clan?"
Could it be that he had guessed wrong in the valley before, Gongsun Yingdun was not only not the one who would take revenge, but was full of gratitude to the life-saving benefactor Sheng Sleeping Crane, and was even willing to give up the tortoiseshell island that he should have inherited to this little uncle...... But wait! Fools know that Sheng Sleeping Crane goes to the entrance examination and the palace examination, and the future of the title of the gold list is even greater, right?
Or is Gongsun Yingdun, as a son of the Gongsun clan who has been a bandit for four generations, full of sincere love for the bandits, and believes from the bottom of his heart that there is no greater cause in the world than doing businessless business on the sea?
"It's not!" Gongsun Yingjiang's voice interrupted Sheng Weiqiao's various conjectures, the niece frowned, bit her lip, and didn't know where to start, hesitated for a while, and said in a helpless tone, "He just doesn't want the little uncle to go to Chang'an to take the test - as for whether the little uncle will return to Tortoiseshell Island or inherit the Sheng family and become a rich man, he doesn't care." ”
After a pause, Gongsun Ying Jiang added with a look that seemed to have made up some kind of determination, "For Ying Dun, it is best for the little uncle to neither go to Chang'an nor return to Tortoiseshell Island, just like the righteous grandfather, concentrate on taking care of the Sheng family, enter the gold day and enter the silver at night, and be rich in the south wind!"
"......" Sheng Weiqiao was silent for a while, so that Gongsun Yingjiang's face became more and more worried, and she said lightly, "Let me guess: Gongsun Clan, did you have the idea of surrendering to the imperial court a long time ago?"
Gongsun Yingjiang's face changed suddenly!
She looked at Sheng Weiqiao in shock, but saw that this aunt's clear eyes were full of certainty - the aunt and nephew looked at each other for a long time, and Gongsun Yingjiang sighed dejectedly: "What did the little uncle tell you in the valley?"
“…… Didn't he tell me, I couldn't guess anything myself?!" Sheng Weiqiao said unhappily, "Such an obvious thing, just think about it, in your mind, how stupid is my aunt?"
Gongsun Ying Jiang apologized uneasily: "I'm sorry aunt, I lost my words - but, this matter is supposed to be hidden from you all the time?"
"There are so many flaws in what you just said, I really can't hear it?!" Sheng Weiqiao laughed angrily at her continuous contempt, took a sip of some cold tea, and sneered, "First of all, you said that there are not many literate people on the island, so that my brother wants a serious teacher to enlighten him, or did your father go out on a special trip to tie up an old boy, so you have that gentleman!"
"In that case, how could my brother propose that the people on the island go and be a student of that old boy if they have nothing to do?"
She glanced at Gongsun Ying Jiang playfully, "Ying Jiang, you really didn't think about it in class, so you didn't expect it? There is such a serious teacher on the island, my brother is not the blood of your Gongsun family, and it is all because of your father's attention that he has this treatment--you also said before, your grandfather-in-law still had a righteous son at that time, and that righteous son was very favored by your in-law grandfather, and when your in-law grandfather was here, your father, the young sea master, could not really be in charge of the house after all- Imagine if everyone on the island went to consult that old boy, how much time would the old boy cherish his brother's talent, and how much time would he spare to guide him?"
"Last year, my brother won the third yuan, and my grandfather was overjoyed, and personally sent a message to my father to put everything in the family and concentrate on teaching my brother - in fact, there is not only one brother who is studying at home, and the second room has not been filial piety for a long time, and the fifth brother in the third room, who is the same age as Ying Dun, is now studying hard all day long. Don't you want his father to personally guide him in his homework? But his father is so busy, and he has to take care of his brother who has already been hit by the case, the third uncle and the third aunt are really embarrassed to bring it up!"
"It's hard to find a famous teacher! Although a mere child is not a famous teacher, for my brother who was in a situation at that time, it was a blessing to have such a teacher!"
"Since he took the initiative to ask for enlightenment, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to learning, how can he rashly offer suggestions that will cause him to lose the opportunity to study?"
"But the little uncle was young at the time!" Gongsun Yingjiang was not convinced, and retorted, "The child is not sensible, or in order to repay, or for the sake of performance, and he said it with excitement - this possibility is also there!"
"Yes. Sheng Weiqiao looked at her, seemed to smile, and said, "But as you said: my brother was only six or seven years old at the time, and at such a young age, and he was not valued by your grandfather, why did he make your grandfather angry for many days with this suggestion, so that your father mediated for several days before it was resolved? Although I have not met the old sea lord of Gongsun, I have heard that he has a good relationship with my father, and with this, I believe that the old sea lord's mind will not be too narrow. ”
"At least it can't be narrow enough to be a six or seven-year-old boy for several days - to put it mildly, my brother's background is unknown at the time, and he lives in the Gongsun clan, where did he get the qualifications to make the old sea lord of Gongsun stunned all day long?"
Looking at Gongsun Yingjiang's changing expression, Sheng Weiqiao said, "So I guess...... I'm afraid that the one who proposed to the old sea lord of Gongsun to study more at that time was the old boy who was kidnapped to the island, right?"
She cupped her cheeks and continued to speculate, "And that old boy's advice is probably not that some bandits should also study more, and ten out of ten is to persuade the old sea lord of Gongsun to surrender to the imperial court - the old sea lord of Gongsun is hesitant, so he has a few days of seizures, and then he sent Ying Dun to the old boy's door, isn't it?"
“…… Is there anything else?" Gongsun Yingjiang wanted to say something, but after thinking for a while, she sadly found that she had no way to refute it, she sighed weakly, put her head on the table, and asked in a muffled voice, "Auntie, can you tell it all together?"
Sheng Weiqiao knocked on the table and said: "There is nothing else, it is the name of the two of you - you said that the old boy was just entangled with Ying Dun, and he gave you his current name, but I thought otherwise, this is clearly to take this opportunity to test the attitude of the old sea lord of Gongsun and the sea lord of Gongsun in abandoning the dark and turning to the light, and then you are still this name, it can't be said that the father and son of the old sea lord of Gongsun are inclined to the advice of the old boy. Isn't that right?"
She asked "is it right", but her face clearly says "it must be so".
"Didn't my aunt say the names of our children?" Gongsun Ying Jiang thought about it on the table for a while, raised his head, and asked unwillingly, "Why did you say the names of me and Ying Dun, as well as the little uncle?
"This section has the most flaws!" Sheng Weiqiao looked at her with the eyes of "I can't bear to talk about you", and sighed, "It's not me talking about you, Ying Jiang, when you go back this time, you really should go to the school to listen to a few lessons when you're fine...... Although the gentleman invited by our family school is just a showman, and his father's homework is personally supervised by his father, and he has not passed it at all, but he has passed the college examination in the end, and the foundation can be called solid, so it is no problem to teach us like this. ”
mentioned a few words about this niece, Sheng Weiqiao no longer went around in circles, and directly said the topic, "You said that the old boy changed the name of his brother to 'Sleeping Crane', but he took the name of the peony he planted in his early years, and also said that it means that he wishes his brother a bright and rich future like a peony in the future - this is not clear that he hopes that his brother will one day turn back to the shore and be able to use the title of the gold list of knowledge he learned from that old boy, so as to be rich and glorious?"
"What we do is not a business, and what we are asking for is also wealth!" Gongsun Yingjiang heard this, and said busily, "Could it be that the peony that Mr. said is rich, doesn't I wish the little uncle that he will win every time when he grows up, and when he gets money, he can meet the fat sheep and make a lot of money when he comes back?"
Sheng Weiqiao: "......"
She looked at Gongsun Yingjiang for a while with a gaze that hated iron and steel, and then said quietly, "You have said that the peony is the king of flowers, the king of flowers, what is the king? It is orthodoxy, righteousness, and fame! You tell me, the act of entrenching in tortoiseshell island to rob past merchant ships, where does it have anything to do with these words?"
I can't believe that this niece used to study with Sheng Sleeping Crane, and she doesn't know such a superficial common sense!
Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but ponder: Is this because Gongsun Yingjiang was too slack in listening to the class, or was the old boy full of thoughts on Sheng Shenghe, and he didn't care about Gongsun and his brother at all?
- That's why it's terrible to be a sister and a little confused to be a younger brother.
Seeing Gongsun Yingjiang silently shut up, Sheng Weiqiao continued, "And I think that the old boy gave his brother this name, not only to remember the peony, I am afraid there is also a literal meaning: there is a saying in the ancient book 'The crane sings Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the sky', throughout the ages, the crane is often compared to a virtuous person." Just as the old boy named you 'Ying Jiang' and 'Ying Dun', hoping that you would be docile and generous, that old boy's hope for his brother is, to be honest, more than his expectations for you!"
"Add the word 'sleep' before the word 'crane', I'm afraid it's just to warn my brother, don't lose your ambition and noble conduct because you are on hawksbill island!"
Sheng Weiqiao said this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he thought, "But my brother...... Is his character really noble?"
Before she was trapped in the valley with Sheng Sleeping Crane, she must have thought that Sheng Sleeping Crane had nothing to do with the word "noble"!
But thinking of the various cares that this brother has taken care of him in the past two days, Sheng Weiqiao feels that although he always likes to tease himself, his essence is not bad......
was slightly distracted, and suddenly heard Gongsun Yingjiang a little annoyed and angry: "When we asked Mr. what he meant by naming the little uncle, Mr. didn't say that!"
"But my brother's character was also chosen by your gentleman - his character is Hengshu!" Sheng Weiqiao snorted without raising his head when he heard this, "If I guessed correctly, this word should come from the two sentences of the predecessor's poem 'When the world sees my Hengshu tune, they all sneer when they hear Yu Dayan'." ”
The whole poem is: Dapeng flies together in one day and soars up to 90,000 miles. If the wind stops, it can still be dusted but the water is clear. When the world saw that I was in a constant tune, they all sneered when they heard Yu Dayan; Xuan's father can still be afraid of the afterlife, and the husband is not a young man. ”
"The most famous of this poem is the first couplet, Peng and the crane both have the ability to rush into the sky, the name and the word are juxtaposed, do you dare to say that your gentleman does not have the idea of looking forward to his brother Pengcheng Wanli and the crane singing Jiugao?"
Gongsun Yingjiang, who had never heard of this poem at all, was completely speechless, put his head on the table again, and said weakly: "Okay, okay, I said that it is true that since my grandfather-in-law, I have planned to surrender to the imperial court! It's just that the imperial court has been fighting endlessly with foreign relatives, clans, and courtiers over the years, and no one has taken care of the troubles of Ruru in the north, and it is all supported by the prestige of General Zhou in his early years that there has been no major incident so far, and we bandits are not even in the eyes of the imperial court!"
"In this way, no one in the imperial court proposed to recruit An, so we can't get up by ourselves, right?
"After my husband went to the island, he found that the little uncle was talented and intelligent, and he was simply a natural seed of reading -- he discussed with my grandfather and my father, and arranged for my little uncle to go ashore to get a clean identity when he grew up, participate in the imperial examination, and after entering the office, find an opportunity to propose Zhao'an, so it is the best of both worlds: our Gongsun clan gets a reliable opportunity to wash his hands and go ashore, and the little uncle can also take the opportunity to make meritorious contributions!"
Gongsun Yingjiang smiled bitterly when he said this, "Although my grandfather died unexpectedly at the beginning of the previous year, my father still carried out this plan after he succeeded as the sea lord. Who would have thought that Ying Dun would oppose him from the moment he knew about it! Even, in order to prevent this, he did not hesitate to fall to the remnants of his uncle's side!!
When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, his face turned pale instantly: "What?!Brother--I mean Sheng Sleeping Crane will go to the shore when he grows up, just to recruit Hawksbill Island after the imperial examination......?
She asked in a trembling voice, "He...... Is he my brother or not?!!!"
- In the past two years, she has always regarded Sheng Sleeping Crane as her brother with the same father and mother!
The most important thing is that the reason why she can accept sharing the bed with Sheng Mianhe in the past two days is precisely because she feels that the two are brothers and sisters, and thinks that the blood relatives are forced to be a little too close due to the situation, as long as they have a clear conscience with each other, it will pass.
But if Sheng Sleeping Crane is actually not related to her, then ???
That's how it goes?!!
