Chapter 434: Rivals in Love
Because the Sheng family's sister-in-law was born in the evening, it was too late to set up a banquet that day, Sheng Lanci and a group of stewards were busy for most of the night, and only then began to distribute invitations early the next morning, and at the same time organized a banquet.
The distance between Lin County and the county seat is not far away, but it is not close, if you speed up the foot, you can actually arrive a day earlier.
However, Mrs. Ao knew that Mrs. Sheng attached great importance to the big house, so she spent a lot of effort on the congratulatory gift, in order to transport many delicate items into the Sheng Mansion peacefully, this speed did not dare to be fast.
When he arrived, because the old lady of the Sheng family and the old lady of the Ming family were not there at this time, but the other party was the old lady Ao himself, in order to show respect for the friendship of the ancestors, the Sheng Mansion almost went out to greet the Feng family who was confined.
On this occasion, although Sheng Weiqiao and Ao Luanjing have been having a hard time with each other since the incident with Lou Chuan, it is impossible to be so affectionate as they met for the first time, but they also have to walk together.
Di's, who was announced to be pulled together by the Feng family and the Xiao family, frequently paid attention to her daughter, for fear that she would not be able to control her temper and say something that would embarrass the two families.
Fortunately, although Ao Luanjing was very angry with Sheng Weiqiao at home, he met at this moment, although his attitude was a little cold, as if he was the county lord who was only sealed, but the entertainment was still decent.
However, the two of them arrived at the main hall with a smile, waited for a set of greetings from the elders and went through the motions, and asked the juniors as usual: "Go down and play!"
Before he went out, Ao Luanjing pulled Sheng Weiqiao to the side and asked in a low voice, "County Lord, can you arrange for me to talk to Cousin Sheng...... Ah, is it the king of the county that he will meet?"
Since the matter of Sheng Weiqiao and Rong Sleeping Crane has not yet been spread, Ao Luanjing thought that he was respectfully calling the other party "county lord", and used the word "you", which was very low, why was Sheng Weiqiao embarrassed to refuse, right?
didn't know that Sheng Weiqiao was muttering before she came, how could she let her meet Rong Sleeping Crane at this time?
If she were such a magnanimous person with an adult beauty and a heart, she might not have the turn to allow Rong Sleepy Crane to come south to propose marriage, and she would have been stalked by Xu Baomo and begged to marry back, and be the wife of "virtuous and virtuous Shude" in his mind, not only does not prevent him from taking concubines, but also takes the initiative to help him find beauties!
When I heard the words at this moment, I had to smile or not: "Sister, that's the case, you also know that the cousin you mentioned is not what it used to be, and now when you come to Sheng Mansion again, it is a distinguished guest that my father and mother dare not slack off." So, how dare I do such a thing for you?"
He also said, "Especially my sister has already made a marriage." ”
"......" Ao Luanjing heard this, looked at her fixedly for a while, didn't have a seizure, and only said lightly, "This person who is exposed to the sun is dizzy, I want to go back to the guest house first." ”
Sheng Weiqiao said: "I'll send you." ”
The two walked to the guest house in silence, and when they arrived at the door, Ao Luanjing thanked him and walked in without looking back.
Seeing this, Ju Li frowned slightly, and after following Sheng Weiqiao out for a while, he said euphemistically: "Miss Ao has just ...... the county lord."
"You care about her!" Sheng Weiqiao said lightly, "The left and right are just guests...... It's just a few days of perfunctory!"
Although before Ao Luanjing appeared, Sheng Weiqiao felt uncomfortable about her meeting with Rong Sleeping Crane again, but after really seeing Ao Luanjing at this moment, she calmed down and thought: "I'm really stupid! From the beginning, Ao Luanjing was infatuated with Rong Sleeping Crane, what did I do with Rong Sleeping Crane with Ao Luan Mirror? If he had a mind, when he went north to Chang'an, he would have been able to get his wish. At this time, I should be guarding against Ao Luan Mirror!"
But in the afternoon of the next day, Xiquan mysteriously found Sheng Weiqiao, who was counting the tableware to be used for the dinner with his subordinates, and whispered to her: "County Lord, the people below said that they saw Miss Ao and the King of Mizhen talking under the willow trees near Cuimo Water Pavilion...... Would you like to go over and have a look?"
Sheng Weiqiao suddenly became murderous: Of course you have to !!
However, Sheng Weiqiao threw away everything at hand, and did not forget to run back to Zhu Huan Xiaozhu to change his bright clothes and add a few gorgeous headdresses, and hurried to the garden, trotting all the way to Cuimo Water Pavilion, he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat, pretending to stroll, and moved to the vicinity of the willow tree in a hurry...... I almost couldn't resist the urge to immediately run back to Chengchun Tai to roll up my sleeves and beat Xiquan violently!
Because......
Under the willow tree, there are indeed sleeping cranes and Ao Luanjing.
But......
Li Shengxu, who was dressed in a red silk dress and was so magnificently dressed that he could go to the church at any time, was sitting between the two of them vividly, taking a fishing rod and laughing with them while fishing, even if he was more than ten feet away, he could hear the guy's laughter!
In addition, there were seven or eight servants who served on the side with various things.
Sheng Weiqiao, who was ready to catch the rape, felt so tired......
Even the aunt who watched him grow up is so unbelievable, how can this world not disappoint?
The most pitiful thing is that seeing this situation, she originally planned to tiptoe away and continue the operation of her 21st flowing water seat, but she deliberately went back to Zhu Huan Xiaozhu to dress up again, and at this time she brought a ringing bracelet on her wrist, which was the kind of red gold hollow bracelet as thick as a finger with a few pearls stuffed into it.
When you walk, the pearls inside you hit each other, making a subtle but crisp sound.
After training, everyone is beautiful, the pace and the sound correspond, and the walking room adds a bit of style.
At this time, she is still a long way away from Li Shengxu's side, but such a little movement can no longer hide Rong Sleeping Crane, since he entered the Sheng Mansion, he has never seen Sheng Weiqiao again, and now he turned his head and saw a figure, how could he let her go?
He waved his hand and shouted, "Good girl, are you here to find us?"
I'm afraid that as soon as she leaves, when she shouts, she even pulls out her legs and chases her personally!
Sheng Weiqiao: "........................"
In this case, if you continue to run, Ao Luanjing will see it, and think that she has done something bad and wants to run away!
The girl thought about it quickly, and finally stood still, looking at Rong Sleeping Crane who ran over angrily.
"What's wrong?" Rong Sleeping Crane came to him, and before he could show a smile of reunion after a long absence, he had already noticed the girl's displeasure, that is, he was surprised, "Good girl, why are you unhappy? Is it because I haven't looked for you in the past few days, or is it because of Miss Ao?"
He explained with an aggrieved face, "I came to the garden because I haven't seen you these days, I really miss you, and I wonder if I can bump into you here? As for Miss Ao Jia, I absolutely ignored her! It's all Shengxu, and I have nothing to do with her, so I let her stand there all the time! You also saw it, I deliberately stood on the other side of Shengxu!"
Sheng Weiqiao originally saw the battle under the willow tree, and knew that Rong Sleeping Crane couldn't have anything to do with Ao Luanjing.
But at this time, seeing that he was anxious to explain to himself, his eyes rolled, but he straightened his face and said: "Since you want to break off the relationship with her, what do you want to do if you don't leave, what do you want to do next to you? This is simply reluctant to leave! and use Li Shengxu as a cover!"
"I'm waiting for you!" Rong Sleeping Crane immediately laughed when he heard this, his smile was pleasant, but it was meaningful, he lowered his voice, leaned into her ear, and whispered, "This is Sheng Mansion, what can I hide from my father's eyes and ears?" Regardless of whether my father and mother have considered our marriage at this time, since I know that Miss Ao once coveted me, she is with me at this time, how can my father and mother not let you come over? lest I be such a good son-in-law candidate and be cut off?"
"But ......"
"I am loyal to the obedient girl, the world can be seen, the sun and the moon can be seen, and I will never empathize with other lovers!"
Sheng Weiqiao's face was red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and it took a while to calm down, and he snorted forcefully: "It's nonsense! What did my father and mother ask me to come over...... I'm just idle and have nothing to do, just come and walk around the garden!"
Rong Sleeping Crane was really embarrassed to tell her that it had been spread inside and out at this time, that is, the original Miss Sheng family and the current county lord of Kangzhao were the main operators of this flowing water banquet. Sheng Weiqiao, who has been the pearl of the palm for fifteen years, is not only not jealous of the much-anticipated birth of his younger brother, but is very enthusiastic to help hold a banquet;
So how could this girl be idle and have nothing to do?
She took time out of her busy schedule to come over to supervise it, and it was almost the same!
Rong Sleeping Crane couldn't help laughing and said, "Good girl, then this shows that you and I have a fate! I just feel that I can wait for you after a while, so I didn't leave." You saw it now, right? Sure enough, we're reunited!"
Sheng Weiqiao was about to answer, but at this time, Li Shengxu, who noticed that Rong Sleeping Crane was coming over, was impatient, he temporarily handed the fishing rod to a subordinate next to him to hold, put his hand to his mouth, made it into a trumpet shape, and shouted: "What are you whispering over there?
"Let's go over!" Sheng Weiqiao pouted and snorted, "This Li Shengxu, if you don't clean him up for a day, you want to be a demon!"
On the way over the two, seeing Li Shengxu tilting his head and talking to Ao Luanjing, she seemed to be very kind to Ao Luanjing, she was a little curious, and asked Rong Shenghe, "Li Shengxu shouldn't know about those things when we went north, right?"
Rong Sleeping Crane smiled and said: "Good girl, you forgot that this kid was not in good health before, and he couldn't move in the house all day long......? However, this is because he doesn't know that Miss Ao has already made a marriage, and he should be more restrained after he knows. ”
"Why didn't you tell him?" Sheng Weiqiao was a little speechless, "What if he really takes a fancy to Ao Luanjing?"
Rong Sleeping Crane said disappreciably: "How can there be so many love at first sight in the world?"
"At the beginning, Ao Luanjing fell in love with you at first sight!" Sheng Weiqiao pouted, "Oh yes, I still remember, you also said that it was love at first sight for me...... So, you're lying to me?"
"How is that possible!" Rong Sleeping Crane immediately saved himself, and said categorically, "Miss Ao Jia didn't fall in love with me at first sight, I can only say that there were no outstanding men in the place where she lived before, and at first glance I saw a young talent like me, who was both civil and military...... and had a good impression of her."
Sheng Weiqiao interrupted coldly: "Xu Baomo was also there at that time!"
"But Xu Baomo is the son of the world!" Rong Sleeping Crane reacted quickly, "The lintel of the Ao family is not high, and the relationship between the old lady Ao and our grandfather is closer than the relationship with the old marquis of the Xu family!
When he said this, he touched his chin, tilted his head to look at Sheng Weiqiao, and smiled at the girl, "Moreover, don't you think I'm better looking than Xu Baomo?"
Sheng Weiqiao said seriously: "I don't feel it at all!"
"You have memorized this sentence!" Rong Sleeping Crane raised his face, "I must settle accounts with you in the future!"
Sheng Weiqiao snorted: "Settle accounts with me?"
Rong Sleeping Crane glanced at her with a smile, reached out and touched her head: "Don't beg for mercy in the future!"
With a dry cough, he continued, "As for me saying that I fell in love with you at first sight, of course it was true!"
"I see that you are trying to coax me! Who wants to believe you?" Sheng Weiqiao snorted, originally planning to say a few more rebuttals, but at this time he had already walked under the willow tree, Li Shengxu absentmindedly grabbed the fishing rod, turned his head and asked, "What are you talking about over there?" I haven't come here for a long time, if I hadn't called you, I'm afraid that you would all leave me here and walk away on your own, right?"
Sheng Weiqiao glanced at him and said, "It's so hot this day, you're so interested, don't go to the banquet to eat and drink, but fish here?"
"It's hot at the table!" Li Shengxu snorted when he heard this, "Are you embarrassed to say it, do you know how many people chased and intercepted me when my cousin and I were at the banquet in ......the past two days?" Those who know say that they mean to flatter, and those who don't know think that they have caught fugitives! I can't bear this kind of enthusiasm, and I'd rather fish here at this time!"
Sheng Weiqiao immediately remembered that in the past, he announced that he and Rong Sleeping Crane were surrounded by a group of people in the Lotus Banquet in the mansion, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "You don't want to think about how prominent your identity is in this Nanfeng County, can they not look fresh?"
She talked to Li Shengxu, and kept paying attention to Ao Luan Mirror out of the corner of her eye.
But seeing that Ao Luanjing didn't pay attention to her meaning at all, he only looked at Rong Sleeping Crane with a burning gaze, and there seemed to be a thousand words in those eyes, and there seemed to be endless sorrow to tell...... That's called a glance for ten thousand years!
Sheng Weiqiao immediately turned to observe Rong Sleeping Crane, but saw that Rong Sleeping Crane was smiling, looking at himself intently, sensing her attention, and blinking at her slightly, as if teasing and teasing.
"I'm really stupid, I was tricked by Aunt Xiquan into coming over and sweating!" Sheng Weiqiao twitched the corners of her mouth, and was about to find a reason to leave and do a mess that was thrown down by herself, at this time, Ao Luanjing suddenly withdrew her gaze looking at Rong Sleeping Crane, and turned to look at the lake not far away, and the hand hidden under her sleeve clenched her fist and let go, let go and clenched, and after repeating it several times, she finally made up her mind, took a step forward, pointed to the location where Li Shengxu's fishing line fell into the lake, and said, "Huh", "What's that?"
As he spoke, he walked towards the lake as if curious.
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know what she was going to do next, and when she heard this, she looked over with Li Shengxu...... Rong Sleeping Crane noticed it, but he just looked at it indifferently.
So the next moment, Li Shengxu was puzzled: "What? There doesn't seem to be anything special ......."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "bang", and Ao Luanjing plunged into the lake, and the splashing lake water sprinkled his and Sheng Weiqiao's faces!
Li Shengxu: "???????"
Sheng Weiqiao: "!!!!!!!!"
The girl stomped her feet frantically, "What are you doing in a daze?!Why don't you hurry up and go down to save people?!"
