Chapter 33 The Xu family who organized a group to attack
Since the incident of the first pear year ago, the old marquis Xu wanted to obtain the Sheng family's forgiveness more than once. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Not long after Xu Baomo came to the door in person and was driven back, he even came there in person - but although the old lady Sheng attached great importance to the friendship with him, he would not pit his granddaughter for the rest of his life for this friendship, so after expressing his forgiveness to him, he still resolutely rejected the proposal of the two families to marry.
Rao is like this, every New Year's holiday in the past two years, the old marquis Xu will send a competent steward to the door with generous gifts.
Because of the backer of Ning Weihou, he is also the number one person in charge when he goes out in Cangwu County, but in front of the Sheng family, he can be described as groveling and flattery, which shows how eager the old Marquis Xu is to tell Sheng Weiqiao to be his only grandson's daughter-in-law.
If it weren't for the firm determination of Sheng Lanci and his wife, Mrs. Sheng would be a little tempted, and she would have knocked on the side and said in private: "There are also young people who are occasionally confused, I heard that the child has been concentrating on his studies for the past two years, not to mention going out to fool around, and all the people who are waiting around him have been replaced by small maids, and there is not even a little maid with a curtain!"
But Sheng Lanci said lightly: "I heard that Uncle Xu Shi has really managed him tightly in the past two years." ”
Old lady Sheng still doesn't trust Xu Baomo when he sees his son--he values this eldest son the most, and this eldest son of the eldest son values Sheng Weiqiao's daughter-in-law the most-so even if the old lady is Sheng Weiqiao's grandfather, he doesn't dare to make decisions in this granddaughter's life.
- In case because of his decision, Sheng Weiqiao had a bad life after getting married, the old lady would not be able to explain to Sheng Lanci and his wife.
Seeing this, he didn't say anything more.
I thought that most of this matter would be settled, but I didn't know that Old Marquis Xu didn't say hello, not only did he come in person, but even the old lady Xiahou, who had been at home for many years, brought over to help, obviously made up her mind that she had to marry the Sheng family!
At this moment, in the front hall of Sheng Mansion, on the Songnian Hall where the most distinguished guests were entertained, Sheng Lanci and his wife looked at their daughter helplessly before they saluted, and they were pulled to the side by the old lady Xiahou, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and caring for them, as if they couldn't wait to tie Sheng Weiqiao back to Cangwu County and marry Xu Baomo on the spot!
Sheng Lanci and his wife's eyelids jumped, and they couldn't wait to snatch their daughter back to feel at ease.
But the old lady Xiahou is their elder, and this will not be any ill will towards Sheng Weiqiao, on the contrary, the old lady obviously likes Sheng Weiqiao very much, although Sheng Lanci and his wife are anxious, for fear that their daughter will be coaxed by her, but they are also helpless.
Of course, the old marquis Xu at this moment is very happy, while talking and laughing with the old lady Sheng, he secretly admires his wit: "Sure enough, there is such a thing as asking to marry a girl, a big man like Lao Tzu, after all, there is no convenience for female dependents!"
Thinking that at the beginning, he came to the door to ask for guilt, but the old lady Sheng saw him in person, and Sheng Lanci and his wife also met with him and asked for peace, but he wanted to see Sheng Weiqiao's request with his own eyes, but was rejected by the Sheng family, on the grounds that Sheng Weiqiao had been hit too hard and refused to see any outsiders at the moment.
Sheng Lanci and his wife unanimously said apologetically: "Our husband and wife are such a daughter, it is inevitable that they will be overspoiled, and this point of hugging Mo that child is also what you told Uncle Shi...... So this will be really reluctant to force her, and I hope that Uncle Shi will not worry about her children for the sake of her father!"
Old Marquis Xu was embarrassed by the sarcastic and prickly old face, but fortunately, since he was able to teach Xu Baomo, a grandson who was open-minded in front of Old Lady Sheng, it was no problem for him not to be embarrassed, and immediately proposed: "I taught my grandson to have no way to make the child feel wronged!" Now that the matter has just passed, it is reasonable that the girl does not want to see me. After a few days, Zijing should send something back, that bastard thing has never been distracted, every year will bring a lot of brightly colored clothes, what age am I and your aunt, how can that color be good on the body? I just sent it to make amends to Qiao'er, and by the way, let me say to the child in person, okay?"
Then Sheng Lanci and his wife still refused politely, saying: "The child's usual dress is no longer worn, and Uncle Shi's kindness can only be understood! After all, this child has not been wronged since she landed, and she is too spoiled and afraid that she will not know how to cherish it." Please also ask Uncle Shi to be able to Haihan!"
Old Marquis Xu understood the meaning of their words, Sheng Weiqiao had never been wronged since he landed, but he was wronged in Xu Baomo's hands!
But when his stubborn temper comes up, he has to see it!
So I thought of a lot of reasons to meet Sheng Weiqiao, but I was stopped by the twenty-four filial father and mother - in the end, the old lady Sheng couldn't see it, and said to him: "A bad old man of his age, what do you have to do to see my delicate granddaughter?" Spread it out, be careful that others laugh at you for not being old!"
The old marquis was depressed to death: "Lao Tzu was never so sad when he asked to see General Zhou!"
"Then your grandson hasn't disliked General Zhou! Otherwise, don't talk about asking to see you, let's not tear your grandson to pieces! In comparison, Lao Tzu is not good enough for you now?"
So this time, in order to prevent what happened last time, the old marquis spoke sweetly, so that he was stunned to pull the old lady Xiahou - now I look at it, hey, it really works!
He was elated here, like Sheng Lanci and his wife, who were sitting on pins and needles, and it was inconvenient for him to come forward to rob people in person, so he could only give Mrs. Sheng a look frequently, and secretly ordered someone to find Mrs. Ming to come over, and ask this stepmother to help Sheng Weiqiao relieve the siege after she arrived.
However, Old Lady Sheng turned a blind eye to her son and daughter-in-law's eyes, and concentrated on talking and laughing with Old Marquis Xu: "You old boy!
"You just hope Lao Tzu doesn't come, right?" Old Marquis Xu didn't feel that his words had lost his face at all, but said triumphantly, "Lao Tzu is coming! Not only is he coming, but he also brought his wife and the evil obstacle with him -- now who doesn't know that your family is rich in oil, Lao Tzu is the whole family is coming in the autumn wind, what abalone sea cucumber, hump elephant trunk, bird's nest snow clam, bear's paw deer lip...... If you are reluctant to eat at home, you will eat enough at my brother's house!"
"It's not promising!" Old Lady Sheng scolded him with a smile, "How many years has my son been doing it, and he hasn't gotten tired of eating these things?" It's like Lao Tzu has been clearing porridge and side dishes every day since a few years ago, and the daily meat is only a plate of sauced beef!"
Old Marquis Xu slapped his thigh, and said in a tone of envy and jealousy: "Hou Ye is a ball! When he was in Northern Xinjiang before, Lao Tzu had a message to him, daring to be greedy for military salaries, even if he did clean hands and feet, the court didn't know, and Lao Tzu would never spare him! Later, he was recalled to the court, and in addition to the Yulu and New Year's rewards, he also set up a few Zhuang shops, which were not good or bad -- brother, you also know, I still have two granddaughters in Chang'an! The girl's dowry is the most unsaved, otherwise how can she not be despised when she arrives at her husband's house? In this way, ordinary brocade clothes and jade food are also enough, those who are really expensive to eat, not to mention tired of eating, Lao Tzu is rare to see a few times a year, okay?"
Xu Baomo, who was sitting at the bottom, had a stiff face: Grandfather, you are the old marquis, do you dare not be so shallow-eyed?
Although their Xu family did not eat abalone, sea cucumber, hump elephant trunk, bird's nest snow clams, bear's paw deer lips every day...... But it's not like you can eat it a few times a year, at least you can buy it immediately when you want to eat it, especially bird's nest, can they eat it every day?!
How to say that it is also the Hou Mansion, as the saying goes, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if the financial resources cannot be compared with the rich people like the Sheng family, who are businessmen as their main business, if you want to eat something good, you don't have to go to other people's homes to rub it!
However, Old Marquis Xu had no consciousness of sweeping the face of the Hou Mansion, and when he said this, he glanced at Sheng Lanci, and sighed for the thousandth and first time, "When it comes to the sons of our people, it is still Lan Ci who is the most competitive!"
That look, that tone, I can't wait for his son Ning Weihou Xu Zijing to be the same as Sheng Lanci's mistake.
At this time, Xu Baomo knew why his grandfather said the above words-Old lady Sheng heard this, and immediately smiled and lost his eyes, stroked his beard again and again, and said with a face full of "That's right, Lao Tzu's son is so good", and said hypocritically: "Zijing is also very good, how can you say that you have also been named Hou?
Old Marquis Xu continued to praise quietly: "Everything is inferior, only reading is high! What Ning Weihou, to put it bluntly, isn't he just a reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill?!"
"It's like Lan Ci, the title of the gold list, and he was elected to Hanlin, this is the real Guangzong Yaozu!"
"The most rare thing is the filial piety of this child, I think when he received the news that your brother was sick, he was in the prime of life, and he wanted to show his ambitions - not to mention that he was not without brothers, he wanted to put aside ordinary people, repair a book, send a steward to come back, and make a scene of caring for the old father, and he would be at ease!"
"As a result, this kid, with a splendid future, didn't even look at it, and said that Zhishi is Zhishi - such courage, such filial piety, such conduct, throughout the ages, how many can there be?!"
"If you want to talk about Master Hou, in our current dynasty, from the founding of the country to the present, there are not a hundred but eighty, what kind of rarity!"
In the end, he didn't forget to step on his children and grandchildren, in order to double the commendability of Sheng Lanci, and then took the case, "I haven't seen Xu Zijing's bastard bastard for many years!!"
Old lady Sheng listened to the red light on her face, and the corners of her mouth were almost grinning to the root of her ears!
At the bottom, Xu Baomo secretly wiped a cold sweat, and glanced at Sheng Weiqiao, who was not loved enough by his grandmother Mrs. Xiahou in his arms, and wailed in his heart: "Grandfather stepped on Da Qiao to death in order to make Da Qiao his granddaughter-in-law!
A terrifying scene suddenly appeared in his mind, that is, Sheng Weiqiao, with the pampering and even encouragement of his grandfather and grandmother, learned to beat her husband by himself - so that even if Old Marquis Xu and Old Lady Xiahou went backwards, he would inevitably pass that mace to Sheng Weiqiao, so that he would follow in his father's footsteps and never leave his hand!
When the time comes, outsiders who don't know it will think that he likes cats very much like his father...... No, no, no, although his mother-in-law Nan is fierce, she didn't let his father die early, did he?
Sheng Weiqiao was only thirteen years old the year before last, and he let his husband die early, and even heard about it, maybe after his husband's death, he would use the family property left by his husband to raise a bunch of well-informed and interesting beautiful boys, so that his husband's green hat could not be worn for eight lifetimes - two years later, what kind of cruelty does this sister have to become? !
Xu Baomo felt that if he married Sheng Weiqiao, it was estimated that it would not be enough to raise a house of cats in the future, and he was afraid that he would have to learn from Sheng Sleeping Crane and raise a leopard...... Anyway, should he go back and discuss with Sheng Sleeping Crane and buy the fifth day of the first month and prepare it first?
"My grandmother must have been taken up by Da Qiao's grandmother, Mrs. Ai, so with a step-grandmother, there is a step-grandfather, and the grandfather who prefers to this is not !!a human being at all" Xu Baomo thought of this, and couldn't help but burst into tears, thinking desperately, "This family affair must never be over-ohn!!, Why did that Miss Shen have an accident?!" Otherwise, this son will marry her immediately, she is just the granddaughter of Old Lady Sheng, she is far less favored than Da Qiao in front of Old Lady Sheng, and she has no blood relationship with Old Lady Ai, so this son will not be so miserable!!"
Xu Baomo, who has always thought that "the next beauty he meets will be better", for the first time in his life, he felt broken, painful, grief-stricken, and discouraged for missing a girl who loved him!
At this time, the conversation between Old Lady Sheng and Old Marquis Xu gradually approached him-
"The elder brother has a hand in raising his son, and raising his grandson is also first-class!" Old Marquis Xu gave a thumbs up, and his expression of admiration was sincere, "This is He'er, right? In the past two years, although I have become more and more handsome, what I like the most is this temperament, which is the heroic appearance of my old brother when he was young!"
"It's only nineteen this year, don't even try to say Jiexiang, or Xie Yuan?"
"What's even more rare is that this kid looks like a well-behaved Sven, as filial and sensible as Lan Ci, and no one needs to worry about it at all!"
"Didn't I say that you, old brother - we have been colleagues for many years, and my brother has taught his son and grandson the craft, and he doesn't dare to expect to guide me all, so why don't you miss a little bit and ask me to learn a little?"
Old lady Sheng listened to a bunch of his favorite words in his life, and he was in a good mood.
At this moment, although he knew the purpose of Old Marquis Xu, he was also happy to cooperate, and said with a smile: "It's not bad to hold ink, when I was in the middle of the lift, I was two years earlier than He'er!"
Old Marquis Xu was overjoyed, and immediately said in an affectionate and flattering tone: "Brother, my grandson, although he lacked discipline in his early years, he has been much more honest in the past two years!
The Sheng family, who had never looked at Xu Baomo squarely, finally set their eyes on him when they heard the words.
Noticing that his grandfather and grandmother cast a fierce gaze at the same time, "I will kill you if I dare not hold the field at the critical moment", Xu Baomo swallowed his saliva, covered his endless painful expression, and showed a sincere smile full of guilt and guilt and remorse that he had trained under the mace of Old Marquis Xu before departure: "Baomo was young and ignorant from the previous year, and he has been disappointed and offended by Da Qiao Shimei and the Sheng Mansion!"
"Now I don't dare to ask Shimei and the Sheng family to ignore the past suspicions, I just want to give Baomo a chance for the sake of sincere repentance in the past two years!"
As he spoke, he got up and bowed down in public, and bowed heavily!
At this time, Xu Baomo's expression was sincere, but he was shouting frantically in his heart: "Refuse! Quickly refuse! Quickly reject this son!"
- Even if the Hengshu brother who had always seemed to be smiling and smiling rushed up and beat him up like the year before, he was so grateful that he was so grateful!!
The Sheng family did everything, as long as he didn't kill him, he would admit it!
Anyway, he definitely shouldn't marry Sheng Weiqiao!!
Marrying this girl is a wife, it is simply to invite the ancestors!
It's not that miserable to sell yourself into slavery!
At least be a slave to others, even if the master is tyrannical, as long as he is not close to him and is unlucky, he may not die early!
However,
Xu Baomo knocked his head down a few times, Sheng Sleeping Crane didn't roll up his sleeves and beat him, and the rest of the Sheng family didn't do anything.
The scariest thing is!!
Sheng Weiqiao, who originally didn't plan to speak past the elders, noticed the distress and unbearability that gradually appeared on the face of the old lady Xiahou, and under the dual influence of respecting the old man and hospitality etiquette, she blurted out: "Brother Shi doesn't have to be like this, you can get up and speak first!"
Xu Baomo only felt a "buzz" in his head, and the force that happened to knock down suddenly lost his proportion, his forehead knocked heavily on the green brick, and the Venus in front of him only knocked around, and his body shook when he wanted to get up, and he couldn't kneel anymore!
When he was dazed, he clearly heard Old Marquis Xu and Old Madam Xiahou say calmly in unison: "Look at this kid, he has been nervous on the way here, and he will finally hear Da Qiao say something to him, and he will almost faint with joy!"
Xu Baomo's eyes were dark, and he didn't come up in one breath, and he really fainted!
