Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Instigators
Meng Guiyu didn't hide it: "When Gao Chengxuan came to Chang'an earlier, I bought it through him. After all, you also know that our fourth room is in an embarrassing position in the Meng family, and the one who looked promising at the time was very difficult to serve, so I couldn't help but leave a hand. ”
"In my opinion, the hand you left behind is not only to inquire about the news, but also to add fuel to the fire, right?" Empress Meng stared at him for a moment before sneering a few times and said, "Even, this matter is simply that you let the people around Gao Chengxuan pry him up and make trouble with the fifth sister and his wife, and offer his plan to the second uncle?!"
Although Gao Chengxuan is arrogant and vicious, because he is too wealthy and has a small set of thousands of pets and loves, the city government is not deep, and he is very easy to use.
Especially when he was young, his good future was ruined by an accident, and the person who harmed him was safe and sound, and Sheng Weiqiao, who he wanted to ravage before, was safe and sound, and he also became the king of the county, and the champion of Rong Sleeping Crane High School, who was once pressed by him, was named the king of the county...... According to this person's temper, I am afraid that I will be eager to get rid of Rong Sleeping Crane and his wife in my heart!
If there are any more people around to instigate them, they will definitely try their best to scare these two people.
And Meng Bichen and Gao Yiyi, a couple, are used to this son again.
Because of Gao Chengxuan's ruined future, they saw it more and more in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts, even if they felt that this matter was inappropriate, but with their backs to the Meng family, they had confidence in their hearts.
If such an only son is entangled several times, he will be soft-hearted.
Then they relented, and then Meng Bichen, who was deeply loved by Wu'anhou and had a deep relationship with Meng's second son, Meng Bomei, came out to persuade Wu'anhou...... Isn't it just in the arms of Meng Guiyu?
"In any case, I'm also thinking about each other now, isn't it?" Meng Guiyu listened to the suspicions pointed out by the queen in person, his face remained unchanged, and he only said calmly, "Our foundation is so thin, we want to break free from the shackles and be the master of our own house...... Do you think you can achieve it with the light wind and the moon?!"
The queen was silent for a while, did not answer this question, but said quietly: "So the traitor who caused Ruru to go down to the three cities is really Mizhen?"
…… At this time, in the palace of Mizhen County, Sheng Weiqiao had just sent away the person sent by the Ningwei Hou Mansion to report the news, so he personally went to the study and said to Rong Mianhe: "Aunt Nan sent someone to say that the Wu family will arrive in Chang'an in two days, so she sent someone to borrow me a few cooks who are good at cooking southern cuisine, and by the way, she also invited us to participate in the reception banquet, are you free?"
Rong Sleeping Crane smiled and said, "Good girl, have you forgotten? Wu Yingke has not stood in line until now." I'm going to attend the reception banquet for his family now, and those who know say that we have a good relationship with the Xu family, but those who don't know think that they are dragging him into the water to join us!"
Sheng Weiqiao came to his senses at this time, but he was embarrassed: "Then should I go?"
"You ladies are nothing, aren't you still having a good personal relationship with the queen?" Rong Sleeping Crane said, "As for me, you just say that I am busy with official business and can't get out, after all, Wu Ying is just Uncle Xu's close friend and in-law, we don't know what his temperament is, in case it passes rashly, people think that Uncle Xu Shishu helped us calculate him, wouldn't it hurt the in-law relationship between the two of them, and also make Xu Caikui embarrassed?"
Sheng Weiqiao felt that this was very reasonable, three days later, on the day the Wu family arrived in Chang'an, they went to Ningweihou Mansion alone with Twelve Niang.
She got up late and arrived late, and at this time, the Sheng family had already arrived, and was talking with the Nan family, when they saw her come in, they hurriedly greeted her.
After Sheng Weiwei and Xu Caifu came up to ask for Twelve Niang, Sheng Weiqiao thought of the fact that Twelve Niang was frightened and ran to ask for help from the fifth day of the first month, and felt very shameless, and repeatedly told them not to toss this lion cat too much, before handing over Twelve Niang to them.
"I heard that in the past two days, because of the things in the north, the court has been very busy, Mizhen has been going out early and returning late all day, Qiao'er, are you okay in the house alone?"
Sheng Weiqiao subconsciously touched his chin when he heard this, and said in surprise: "No, right? I have been eating and drinking well in the house for the past two days, how can I lose weight?"
"It's probably hot?" Xuan Yu Feng looked at his niece, but he was calm, "They are young girls, and it is easy to lose weight." Unlike our age, fat fast, thin difficult, a little careless, just like a mountain of meat, although it is no longer the time to pay attention to beauty, every day in front of the bronze mirror makeup, I feel impatient to look at it. ”
The old lady Xiahou and the old lady Ming both laughed: "With our two old bones, it is your turn to feel that Shaohua is easy to pass away at this age? You can still feel impatient at this time, we get up early, as long as there is no disease, it is light, what fat and thin, who still cares? ”
"You two are in good hands!" Xuan Yu Feng and Nan hurriedly said, "What old woman, you two are old and strong!"
As a result, Old Lady Sheng and Old Marquis Xu were dissatisfied when they heard this: "Are they still old and strong?
A few elders chatted unconsciously, throwing the juniors aside, and then at this time, Gongsun Ying Jiang and Xu Baomo were also taken out of the city by Xu Zijing to meet the Wu family, Sheng Weiqiao talked to Sheng Weirao and Sheng Weide, and first asked his cousin Shen Shilang: "How is my cousin doing in the past two days?" I originally planned to go and see him today." ”
"The imperial doctor said that Cousin Shen had to recuperate, and it happened that the Shen family had another hospital outside the city, so he had already moved over. Sheng Weide said, "My cousin said that after the injury is healed, he will go back to Chang'an to reunite with us." ”
He also said, "My cousin's injury is not serious, but I am afraid that I will fall into a chronic illness, so I have to take care of it." ”
Sheng Weiqiao was relieved and asked, "Do you know how my cousin was injured?"
Several peers shook their heads at this question, saying yes: "My grandfather and grandmother didn't say anything, we asked a few times, and the elders either diverted the conversation or asked us not to do much...... What do you think is going on?"
Sheng Weiqiao was puzzled: "We are not ignorant children, what important things should be hidden like this?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the old lady Sheng and Mrs. Ming, who were at the top of the house, and it was not suitable to ask at this occasion, so he turned to Sheng Weide, "Big brother, Aunt Fang Cai also said that me, I think you are really cleared, but what is the reason? Don't study too hard, right?"
Since the Sheng family opened the ancestral hall and recorded Rong Sleeping Crane in the clan and listed it as the eldest grandson of this generation, Sheng Weide, the real eldest grandson of the Sheng family, has been squeezed into the second son of the big line. Originally, after the revelation of Rong Sleeping Crane's life experience, the Sheng family planned to open an ancestral hall to remove him and restore the original ranking of the Sheng family's children, but in the same year, the old lady Sheng came to Chang'an not to say, and at the end of the year, Sheng Lanci also came to get married.
Without these two principals, although the ancestral house of Nanfeng County would also worship ancestors on Chinese New Year's Eve, they would not be able to preside over such a big matter.
It's been delayed and delayed, and the old lady hasn't returned to Nanfeng County until now!
In this way, two days ago, Mrs. Sheng simply held a simple ceremony in the small ancestral hall temporarily set up in the Sheng Mansion in Chang'an, and crossed Rong Sleeping Crane from the ranking of the Sheng family, lest this person become his grandson-in-law, and also occupy the order of grandchildren.
But after all, it's been two or three years since I shouted, and I suddenly changed it back now, and it is inevitable that I will make a mistake. Like Sheng Weirao and Sheng Weiwei, I didn't want to think about good words before I opened my mouth at this time, but I still followed the previous shouting.
At this moment, Sheng Weiqiao also thought about it in his heart before calling "big brother", "Our family is not waiting for rice to be cooked, or the body is the most important, even if you are studious, don't work too hard to hurt your body!"
"Second sister, don't you know me?" But Sheng Weide smiled dumbly when he heard her words of concern at this time, and said, "Where is the material for my study? The reason why I have lost weight recently is that my grandfather bought a few granges in Gyeonggi, and asked me to follow the steward to take a look. ”
Saying that, he nodded towards Sheng Weiche, "If you want to study, the fourth brother has been gratifying in his studies recently, and the gentleman who was invited by his grandfather has been praising him." ”
"Sir is also kind to say, in fact, I am far from being a real talent. Sheng Weiche hurriedly said, "I have to continue to work hard." ”
Sheng Weirao reminded on the side: "Cai Kui's husband seems to be still studying at home? ”
"It's nature. Sheng Weiche nodded, knowing that his cousin was considering that although the Sheng family was rich, the lintel was not high, and it was not enough in Nanfeng County, and it had always been others who flattered them.
A few of their juniors gossip, Sheng Weirao asked about the summer vacation: "I heard that the royal family has to go to Shanglin Garden every year to escape the summer, at this time the fifth day has passed, and the sky is clearly hot, it seems that the emperor and the queen mother are in the imperial city?"
"I seem to have heard my sister-in-law say something casually, saying that it was because the Queen Mother was old, and she felt unhappy to move around once a year, so she was too lazy to move. The emperor probably didn't move because of her filial piety, right?" Sheng Weiqiao thought about it when he heard this, and said, "But I don't know what's going on...... I'll ask my sister-in-law when I go to the palace again. ”
And he was curious, "Why do you suddenly care about the heat? But it is too hot?"
"No matter how hot Chang'an is, can we still have the heat of Nanfeng County?" Sheng Weirao said while holding the handle double-sided embroidered Wuluntu Palace fan to blow the wind, and said, "I regret that my grandfather bought the Zhuangzi outside the city a few days ago, it is said that there is a huge lake, you can boat on the lake day and night to pick lotus, there are waterfalls nearby, there are many places to play! It's a pity that when my grandfather and the steward bought it, we don't have time to live there! If the royal family goes to Shanglin Yuan to escape the summer, most of the Manchu civil and military people will also go to live in Zhuangzi outside the city." Aren't we going to live there? There's no one over there at this moment, so wouldn't it be stupid for us to go and live?"
Sheng Weiqiao smiled and said: "What's not stupid about this? If everyone is free in two days, let's just go over and live there?" I don't know what you said about Zhuangzi, and look at what kind of place your grandfather has picked so much, so that you can't forget it?"
"It just so happens that Cai Kui is back, ask her if she and her husband are going?" Sheng Weirao and Xu Caikui had a good relationship because they used to communicate with each other often, and at the moment they smiled and proposed, and said, "But I guess my brother-in-law is not available, right?"
"I guess most of them are not available. Sheng Weiqiao nodded, angry, "It's not good to have me with you, what do you want brother-in-law!"
When Sheng Weirao heard this, she stomped her feet in embarrassment: "Second sister, if you talk nonsense again, I don't want you to accompany me!"
Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly apologized to her, and Sheng Weide said: "Since the second sister came out of the cabinet, her eloquence has become better and better, and most of them have been learned from her brother-in-law. ”
Sheng Weiche didn't speak, only smiled and nodded, and it was Sheng Weiqiao's turn to disagree with Sheng Weide: "I've only been out of the cabinet for a few days, eldest brother, you hurt the third sister more than me?
While laughing, a maid came in outside, saying that the Wu family had been welcomed into the door by Xu Zijing and Xu Baomo and his wife.
Nan hurriedly ordered someone to call Xu Caifu, and after taking it, he went to greet him outside the weeping flower gate.
As for the others, Old Marquis Xu and Old Lady Xiahou are both elders, and there is no reason to welcome the younger in-laws.
And the Sheng family is here to accompany the guests, of course the old lady Sheng and the old lady Ming will not move, both the commoner and the same generation as the Wu Ying couple Xuan Yu Feng meaning to get up, and was immediately shouted by the old marquis and the old lady Xiahou: "You are also a distinguished guest today, how dare you work? ”
Xuan Yu Feng made a gesture left and right, and when he saw this, he immediately sat down, smiled and said a few words, and then sat and waited with everyone drinking tea.
After a while, I saw Xu Zijing and a middle-aged couple letting each other in.
