Chapter 355: Rong Sleeping Crane went out confidently!
Sheng Weiqiao was stunned when she heard this, she actually had a better impression of Meng Guiyu than Meng Guihuan, thinking that the queen might not want to have another good female companion, but Meng Guiyu is a man, so it shouldn't be in the category of Queen Meng's rejection, right?
So he said truthfully: "I didn't meet Chong Xinbo much, but I was taken care of by him many times, so I am very grateful to him." ”
After thinking about it, he said, "Uncle is very generous and considerate. ”
"The sixth brother didn't tell me about you, I thought you were more familiar with the eleventh sister. When Queen Meng heard the word "considerate", she felt a "sigh" in her heart, and subconsciously pinched the handle of the fan of the Plum Blossom Palace Fan with Rosewood Inlaid Bamboo and Yellow Carved Brocade Chicken, and then pretended to be indifferent, and asked with a low smile, "Hey, you tell me the truth: you didn't look down on Yichunhou before, shouldn't it be because you like my sixth brother?"
"What!" Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly denied, "I just think that Chongxinbo has the demeanor of an eldest brother! But there is no other meaning! And I used to think that I didn't have a good relationship with Yichun Hou, where is there anything to look at!
Empress Meng carefully looked at her expression and said, "I really don't like my sixth brother, and there are no outsiders here at this time, you can tell the truth." Anyway, you know, I'm sure I'll help you!"
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao nodding seriously, the queen put down a big stone in her heart, but she was still afraid of her duplicity, so she deliberately said, "Actually, my sixth brother is a good person, but his father and mother, who died early, don't know how to be a person, and he offends his brother and sister a lot, so that the fourth room is now a head shorter in front of the other three rooms! You only saw that last time my fifth sister forcibly broke into Jingshao Palace, my sixth brother stopped all the way from outside the palace gate and couldn't stop it, which shows his status in the Meng family!"
"Therefore, as his wife, in the future, in front of the Meng's big house, second room, and third room, she will have to be inferior. ”
"And he dotes on his younger brothers and sisters very much, my eleventh cousin you have seen, to be honest, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if you can't get along with your sister-in-law in the future, I think my sixth brother is going to bring a big palm pearl to himself. ”
After all, they have been dependent on each other for many years, and it is not surprising that they have a deep relationship. Sheng Weiqiao smiled, "But what you said, I just thought that you were going to recommend Chongxinbo to me!
Empress Meng pretended to be casual and said: "If you admit that you like him, maybe I will say that he is good? Since you don't like it, I naturally want to say something about the advantages of not marrying him, so that you can be happy!"
"This can teach me to be flattered!" Sheng Weiqiao covered his mouth and smiled, "People come to this Jingshao Palace, all to please you, I came, it was you who coaxed me, if this is spread out, a few young ladies from Fang Cai may secretly put me in a sack to block the rockery and roll up their sleeves and beat me!"
"So you won't come a few more times?" Empress Meng half-covered her face with a palace fan and flew through a roll of her eyes, "How many times have you said that you will come often...... The result?"
Sheng Weiqiao felt that he was at a loss, and said with a dry smile: "Aren't you here now?" Well, I will definitely come to see you more when I go back." ”
Originally, she wanted to tell Empress Meng that she was going to return to Nanfeng County in a few days, but she felt that saying this now would affect the queen's mood too much, so she should enter the palace and tell the queen when she left quickly.
Then the two chatted for a while, and the queen left her for lunch and dinner, and when the palace door was about to be locked, Sheng Weiqiao left the palace.
As soon as she left the palace gate, her face sank: if Rong Sleeping Crane lied about the attitude towards him in the Gaomi Palace, it could be explained that this person wanted to keep her in this way, then Princess Gaomi and Old Lady Qin wanted to match the Zhao family sisters with Rong Sleeping Crane, and Rong Sleeping Crane didn't even mention it to herself...... Isn't this a ghost in your heart?!
Sheng Weiqiao never thought that Rong Mianhe didn't know what Princess Gaomi and Old Madam Qin thought, because in her opinion, this kind of thing would definitely be told to the parties in private. For example, when she went to the flower viewing banquet before, didn't Mrs. Sheng tell her that this banquet was for her to go on a blind date with Yichunhou?
Rong Mianhe knew that the sisters of the Zhao family lived in the palace to get along with him, but they didn't say a word in front of him...... How is this not suspicious?
"Since this person is very favored in the Gaomi Palace, he must be well-informed if he wants to come to the palace!" Sheng Weiqiao was angry in his heart, "I'll just say why he didn't come here for the past two nights, eighty percent of them heard that the sisters of the Zhao family came to me, and they knew that they were wrong, so they didn't dare to appear in front of me!!"
But just in case, after Sheng Weiqiao went back, after prevaricating with Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Ming into the palace, he still found an excuse to get a good short knife and hid it under the pillow.
If you don't come, if you still want to rely on eloquence and force to get by, take advantage...... Then let's break the net!!
Sheng Weiqiao stroked the short knife, the fierce light flashed in her eyes, she knew that Rong Sleeping Crane was ruthless, but she was not the kind of weak woman who would only hide in the house and cry when she was bullied!
If she dares to be sorry for her, she dares to send him to accompany Young Master Han in the past!
Taking a deep breath and calming down, Sheng Weiqiao recovered to a casual appearance, put away the short knife, and walked out of the inner room, but Ju Li greeted him and said, "County Lord, there is news from the door, saying that the county lord of Deping in the palace is gone." ”
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know about the Gaomi Palace's dispatch of the princess into the palace to meet Concubine Mo to exert pressure, but at this moment she was annoyed by Rong Sleeping Crane, and she couldn't help but be a little impatient with the news that had something to do with Rong Sleeping Crane, and said lightly: "I know." ”
I don't want to say more.
Ju Li didn't see it, and continued to say: "The twelfth and thirteenth ladies of the Meng family also have news, and they have all quickly decided to marry, one is married to Beijiang, and the other is married to Jiannan, the situation of the husband's family is not very clear, but first, she is a concubine, and secondly, she has such a reputation, and it is estimated that she is not a decent family." Also, the wedding date is next month. ”
After the fate of these three girls came out, the matter at the flower viewing banquet was over.
As for the real mastermind behind the scenes, Meng Bichen's family embarked on the journey back to Jiangnan safe and sound.
Sheng Weiqiao was of course angry about this, but because he was helpless, he could only sulk secretly.
It rained heavily that night, and the girl, who had not let the maid into the inner room to accompany her for the night, listened alone to the sound of the window outside the tent, mixed with the crisp sound of the rain on a bush of banana leaves outside the railing.
Because the season of the most delicate trees is coming, there is no cold in the rain at this moment, but there is a trace of warmth, giving birth to buds and buds.
The vigorous breath of all things filled the whole world, but Sheng Weiqiao suddenly remembered that on the way to Chang'an, the boat left Bishui County in a hurry, and it was also a rainy night.
At that time, because it was near the end of the year, it was on the sea, and the salty sea breeze was wet and cold, and when I opened the porthole and looked out, the vast darkness seemed to be endless, and the palace lamp in my hand seemed to be frightened by the vast darkness, so timid only dared to illuminate the square inch.
In such a starless and moonless night, it was still blowing and raining, and I don't know how Rong Sleeping Crane only used a sampan to go back and forth to Bishui County from the windless sea with three feet of waves?
Perhaps his life as a bandit taught him many tricks that ordinary people don't know, but as the saying goes, a good swimmer drowns, and what he did at the time was not necessarily without danger......
At this time, Sheng Weiqiao's fingertips inadvertently touched the scabbard of the short knife under the pillow, and the cold touch made her react immediately, decisively extinguishing this somewhat long melancholy.
She is not Zhao Taojiao, she can love her sweetheart in the way of helping Rong Qingdrunk pursue Huan Yehe.
In the view of Sheng Weiqiao, who has been a professional pearl for 15 years, in addition to the feedback and obligation that should be given by the Sheng family for fifteen years of love and treasure, the overall situation of the future of the entire family should be taken into account at all times...... There is no grievance that she should endure!
In this life, the only one who can make her compromise, retreat, and be low-minded is the Sheng family.
Rong Sleeping Crane, there is no and should not have this weight!
Otherwise, how can Sheng Lanci and his wife, who love their daughter with all their efforts and means, deal with themselves?
Thinking of her parents who did not hesitate to confuse their bloodlines and set up a layer of protection for their future, Sheng Weiqiao's heart was sour, and she suddenly realized that she had been separated from her parents for more than half a year.
It was the first time in her life that she had been separated from her parents for so long.
But because of Rong Sleeping Crane, and because of all the rights and wrongs after coming to Chang'an, she didn't even miss them much during most of the year.
Her biological mother, Feng Yulu, who is nearly forty years old, is still pregnant at the moment......
Sheng Weiqiao buried her head in the quilt and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she suddenly missed Nanfeng County very much, the familiar county town and streets, the familiar Zhu Huan Xiaozhu and Chengchun Tai, Xuan Yu's usual kindness was mixed with a look of hatred for iron and steel, and Feng's grandfather and grandmother shouted "heart and liver" when they met...... Maybe I shouldn't have come to Chang'an at all?
This night, Sheng Weiqiao listened to the sound of the rain and thought a lot, and finally decided to leave for Nanfeng County after the heavy five.
…… After the marriage ceremony between Gongsun Yingjiang and Xu Baomo was held, Chongwu also arrived.
This year's Chongwu is a bit special, because Emperor Xuanjing lingered in the harem after getting the Shu sisters, and never asked about political affairs, and rarely even appeared in front of people publicly;
Therefore, during these festivals every year, the royal family follows the crowd, and the clan relatives and nobles want to celebrate.
Originally, the housewives of Gaomi Palace, Zheng Guogong Mansion and other families had arranged the festival banquet almost completely, but because Queen Meng expressed quiet thinking and decided that the royal family would take the lead in Shanglin Garden, each family had to cancel all their banquet activities and prepare for the banquet in Shanglin Garden.
"To say that this time the nobles of the whole city clan gathered in Shanglin Yuan, it was also specifically to please the Queen Mother. Sheng Weiqiao led Sheng Weirao, Sheng Weiwei and Gongsun Yingjiang to the jewelry store in the city to look for the latest fashionable hairpin ring, and happened to meet Fang Xinniang and Luo Wanwen.
Although Sheng Weiqiao saw these two girls, he thought that their father and brother were both from King Gaomi, and then he remembered Rong Sleeping Crane, and he really didn't want to talk to them, but in front of everyone, the two girls took the initiative to come over to say hello, and she couldn't ignore it.
After a few words of greeting, Fang Xinniang looked at no one else nearby, and complained quickly, "Originally, the most lively thing in Chongwu was the dragon boat race, the eight rivers in the Shanglin Garden, and the Chunbo Lake where the naval army was training, it was not easy to find a suitable place for boat racing, but the Queen Mother said that the dragon boat race was too noisy, so this matter was directly canceled...... Do you know what the feast is going to be for now?"
Sheng Wei Qiaoxin said that if it was canceled, it would be canceled, anyway, this is not a rare thing, who hasn't seen it before?
But on the scene, he still cooperated and asked: "Which ones?"
"Just like the usual feast, a group of people drink and eat food, and watch singing and dancing. Fang Xinniang spread her hands and said with a bitter face, "The only special thing is that there will be a lot of horn millet in the pastries at that time...... How boring do you say?!
"I think it's because the Queen Mother is too noisy to stand it?" Sheng Weiqiao comforted, "It's okay, there must have been a lot of people that day, and if there are too many people, are you afraid that you won't be lively?"
Luo Wanwen next to her sighed and said, "No matter how many people there are, it's useless! County Lord, you think, we can't talk to the people from the Meng family going together." It's a rare festival, who doesn't want to have a good time? But on such an occasion where everyone is there, it's good if nothing happens, so why talk about having fun? It's not as worry-free as the previous festival banquets held by each family!"
Sheng Weiqiao's impression of Empress Dowager Meng is still very good, not to mention that it depends on Empress Meng's face, so he naturally refuses to echo their dissatisfaction with Empress Meng's words, so he smiled and said: "The age and identity of the Empress Dowager are there, so we should honor her old man." After all, when we are at home, we occasionally have to accommodate our grandparents and grandmothers, right? ”
Although Luo Wanwen and Fang Xinniang were playful, they didn't know how to be sympathetic to others, and after hearing this, they thought about it and agreed: "When the county lord said this, we were selfish. It's really just a day's work, and it's stingy for us to complain like this. ”
"The two of them are innocent hearts. Sheng Weiqiao smiled and exchanged a few words with them, and saw that Sheng Weirao had already picked out something, so he said goodbye.
The next day was the fifth day, and the people who received the post all got up before dawn, freshened up, and went to Shanglin Yuan for a banquet.
And in the Gaomi Palace, after Rong Sleeping Crane carefully dressed up, he carefully put the brocade box containing the mouse carrying the peach hosta into his arms, imagining Sheng Weiqiao's appearance when he inserted it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend and bend, and he practiced a gentle and doting smile at the crystal mirror, touching his chin and thinking: "Sure enough, Lao Tzu picked it up a little, and I don't know how much better it looks than Yichunhou's little white face!"
Completely unaware of what had happened in the past few days, he straightened his clothes with satisfaction and confidently turned around and went out.
