Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Luo Family

Rong Sleeping Crane rubbed the top of her hair, smiled slightly, and said, "Of course, it was before the Meng family coerced the Luo family, and the marriage!"

"Do you have a suitable candidate for marriage?" Sheng Weiqiao was immediately disappointed when he heard this, and reminded, "The Luo family is not a small family, and they are not extremely loyal to you, after getting married, they may not be willing to listen to you if they have such a Yue family! I know that Ah Xi and Ying Dun are not married yet, but after all, they are from your little family, even if they are good looking, the Luo family is afraid that they will not be satisfied?"

"Good girl, you only think from my side, of course there is no suitable candidate. However, Rong Sleepy Crane pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "But have you forgotten yourself? Your cousins have not married any of them! At this time, the rich name of the Nanfeng Sheng clan is known to the world, and it is not a secret that our grandfather was loyal to the country back then.

"Big brother?" Sheng Weiqiao suddenly came to his senses and said in amazement, "You are fighting the idea of big brother?!"

Seeing this, Rong Mianhe thought that this little ancestor had grown up listening to "Your husband must be liked by yourself", and he was not necessarily willing to approve of his cousin's choice of a wife for the overall situation, so he hurriedly said: "It's not me! When my grandfather asked about the eldest brother's lifelong affairs, the eldest brother said that he had no other requirements, as long as he was born innocent, his character could be achieved! At that time, Luo Junshou tactfully hinted that the Sheng family did not need to rush to set a marriage for the eldest brother and a few of them, and his grandfather had not chosen a good wife for the eldest brother until now...... Otherwise, you think that the marriage of the third sister has been settled, even if the man's youth is not as precious as that of a girl, and the grandfather and grandmother have been in Chang'an for so long, and there are many people who want to be a matchmaker for the eldest brother these days, why do the grandfathers and grandmothers keep shirking and don't even want to see each other?"

Sheng Weiqiao was surprised: "There is such a thing, why hasn't anyone told me about it?"

Luo Junshou just hinted, and the implication was that Luo Jiayuan didn't think about it well, but when I met him at that time, I left a deep impression on him, which made him feel a little worried. Rong Sleepy Crane explained, "So he also wants to leave a way back for the Luo family, after all, the Luo family and the Gao family have always been on an equal footing in Jiangnan, and in taking refuge in the Meng family, the Gao family is many years earlier than the Luo family, if you have to choose in this court battle, unless the Meng family wins, otherwise the Luo family is unwilling to choose the Meng family." ”

It's just that the Luo family has survived for many years, and there is always a trace of luck in his heart, and he doesn't want to stand in line unless he has to.

Therefore, Luo Junshou only hinted that the Sheng family should not be in a hurry to marry Sheng Weide's children, but he did not give permission either.

As for Old Lady Sheng's side, the reason why he agreed to Luo Junshou was not all for the sake of Rong Sleeping Crane, in the final analysis, Sheng Weide's grandchildren were not particularly good.

On the lintel, on the wealth, on the heritage, the Luo family is Sheng Weide, and they are difficult to climb under normal circumstances.

So from the perspective of a grandfather, anyway, the grandson is not like a granddaughter, and he will pass the age of flowers and bones when he gets married a few years later, if he can have a particularly outstanding granddaughter-in-law after a while, why not?

Even if you don't wait in the end, it doesn't matter, Sheng Weide, the grandson of Sheng Weide's family, is only one year older than Sheng Weiqiao, and he is only eighteen this year.

Rong Sleeping Crane told Sheng Weiqiao the original story, and finally said, "This time the Meng family seems to have a plan, the Luo family has noticed that they have secretly sent a messenger to Chang'an, and agreed with their grandfather that in two days, they will announce that the eldest brother has already married the girl of the Luo family, but the Luo family has always been low-key and does not like to make noise, so it has not been spread." ”

Sheng Weiqiao asked with concern: "How about the girl who is married to the eldest brother?"

"It is said that gentleness, wisdom, and knowledge. Rong Sleepy Crane smiled, "Grandfather told the Luo family before that it was okay for the eldest brother to wait for their family, but the selection of the girl must be excellent." After all, the eldest brother is the grandson of the Sheng family, and the eldest son of the second room, and this girl will be in charge as soon as she passes the door. ”

“…… I heard that my family used to say that I was gentle, virtuous, knowledgeable, and reasonable, so just listen to this kind of thing. But these words couldn't reassure Sheng Weiqiao, she frowned and said, "It's better to inquire carefully, if the Luo family is deceived, can you also change to a real person with a good character and temperament before the candidate is decided?"

Rong Sleeping Crane was silent for a while, and said quietly: "Good girl, do you think that everyone is like a father-in-law and mother-in-law, everything is happy with you, and there is no rule at all? Especially a prestigious family like the Luo family, how many generations have not lost the status of a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, if the people of the clan are not well educated, how can there be today's weather?"

Sheng Weiqiao was embarrassed when he said this: "I didn't think that my eldest brother was honest, and I was afraid that he would be bullied?"

He also said, "Besides, the famous family must all be knowledgeable? Look at that Gao Shaoyang, the Gao family he was born in, how could he not be a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Rong Mianhe said: "Gao Shaoyang's misconduct, the key is to complain that his father is eager for quick success, and he can't control it after marrying Miss Meng Wu. His arrogant and domineering temperament is unique to a wealthy family like the Meng family, and the other children of the Gao family would not be like this, otherwise they would still be able to stand tall in Jiangnan for many years? And the Luo family has been shrinking their heads all these years, and no one in the clan has ever heard of a man like Gao Shaoyang, let alone the discipline of a girl? In the end, not every family is like the Sheng family, and they spoil girls more than men. ”

Sheng Weiqiao thought about it, so he didn't say anything.

After a few more days, the fighting in northern Xinjiang became more and more unfavorable, except for the three cities that were initially suspected of being betrayed by traitors, and two important towns fell again.

Sheng Weiqiao didn't understand the military strategy, and he only felt annoyed and worried about the loss of these two important towns, but Rong Mianhe instantly solemnized his expression, and told his wife while asking someone to spread out the map of northern Xinjiang: "These two important towns are one of the most important links in the defense line set up by General Zhou back then, and now they have fallen into the hands of Ruru, and the battle in northern Xinjiang is difficult to fight." ”

"Since it is the most important link, with General Zhou's use of troops, it will definitely not easily fall into the hands of thieves. Sheng Weiqiao frowned and asked, "Could it be that it was done by a traitor again?"

Rong Sleepy Crane shook his head and said: "I haven't been to Northern Xinjiang, and I don't know much about the current situation in Northern Xinjiang, so it's hard to say." ”

He paused, "But the situation is like this, we can't stay in Chang'an for long." ”

Then he sped up his movements, becoming more and more busy, and even didn't return to the county king's mansion for two days.

Sheng Weiqiao felt strange, because since Rong Sleeping Crane's appointment had come down, and the stewards had also packed up their luggage with concerted efforts, it was said that he could leave for his post at any time, what was he busy with?

grabbed a blank question, Rong Sleepy Crane just smiled and said vaguely: "My little effort in Chang'an, I can't cheapen others just because I left." ”

As for the specifics, I don't want to talk about it very much, it's not that he doesn't trust Sheng Weiqiao, but he has the habit of not easily resorting to people before important things are done. It was a prevarication of two sentences, and the topic was diverted.

However, the day after this conversation, Rong Sleeping Crane completely disposed of everything in Chang'an and said that he could leave at any time.

When Sheng Weiqiao heard the news, he sent the two nieces back to the palace with him and resigned, and the rest of the palace also gave up, of course, the princess was 110,000 reluctant to let the sleeping cranes go.

However, Rong Sleeping Crane had a light attitude, and said that the time to take up the post was already very tight, and there were still many things to pack, even if the princess tried everything to keep it, the couple would be in the palace for most of the day, and then they would return to the county palace where they lived, and send people to the families they knew each other to inform.

Needless to say, the two families of the Sheng Mansion and the Xu family were in the palace, Queen Meng, she was going to go, but after the post requesting an audience was handed in, she was refuted by the Empress Dowager Meng, saying that the queen has not been in good health recently, so let the foreign wife not disturb without permission.

Because Queen Meng has not passed the news for a long time, Sheng Weiqiao doesn't know if this is true or not, thinking that when she left the cabinet, Meng Shuangli and a few people had come to send her to marry, so she handed over the post and went to Wu'anhou Mansion.

Wu'anhou's Mansion didn't give her a closed-door soup like Empress Dowager Meng, but after Meng Shuangli was called out by Mrs. Wu'anhou, they all said that the queen was indeed a little embarrassed recently, that is, they originally went to Wangchun Palace twice in three days to accompany them, and these two months have rarely passed, just for fear of disturbing the queen's recuperation.

Sheng Weiqiao was very sad when he heard this: "How can you get sick?"

Meng Shuanglian was obviously not so lively when she spoke in front of Mrs. Wu'anhou, she thought about it for a while, and then said: "We don't know, maybe it's because the wind and cold I felt before haven't been well, right?" But listening to my aunt and grandmother and the imperial doctor, it is not a very important disease, and I ask the princess of the county not to worry too much." ”

"It's not very important, but it's been lingering on the sickbed, and even the spirit is so bad that I can't even go to my niece who has specially arranged a relationship with Qinglang......" Sheng Weiqiao returned disappointed from the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and after returning to the Junwang Mansion, he groaned, "This shouldn't be a heart disease, right?"

As for Queen Meng's heart disease, all she could think of was Gongsun Xi, and she couldn't help frowning.

The queen couldn't say goodbye in person, but the others went very well.

Two days before leaving, Mrs. Sheng specially gave them a farewell in the Sheng Mansion, and in order to make it easier to speak, the Xu family was invited to the banquet.

After three rounds of drinking, Sheng Weiqiao remembered the reminder before Huan Yehe, and specifically told Sheng Weirao to guard against a little Li Fengyin: "Although I can't be sure that she must be evil, but it is not a parent, it is better to keep an eye on you if I always inquire about you in private." ”

Sheng Weirao nodded and said, "Second sister, don't worry, I will pay attention." ”

also persuaded her to take a good look at Rong Sleeping Crane, "I heard that the second sister asked someone to buy a lot of tricksters and want to take them to the western Xinjiang? I don't know if it's the people below who are doing things indiscriminately, or what, I happened to hear it and said that several of them are very outstanding? Although the second brother-in-law is not the kind of person who comes nonsense, but he knows people and faces, but he doesn't know his heart, maybe there are those who want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix." The second sister still pays attention, don't let the messy people approach him!"

Sheng Weiqiao was about to answer, but at this time, Rong Sleeping Crane happened to come over, he had always had pointed ears, and immediately heard it, so he laughed and said: "Fuchang, you really think too much, no matter how outstanding those people are, can they be as outstanding as your second sister?" Do you see your second brother-in-law, like that kind of person who has no vision?"

"Brother-in-law!" Sheng Weirao didn't guard against being caught red-handed by him, her face couldn't help but flush with embarrassment, she stood up a little helplessly, and apologized again and again, "I'm talking to my second sister about playing, don't take it to heart!"

Thinking that she is just a sister-in-law, Rong Sleeping Crane is tired of herself, and the two of you don't often see each other, and it is unknown when the next time they meet, but Sheng Weiqiao, don't be cheated by yourself, and hurriedly said, "The second sister believes in her brother-in-law very much, it's all my fault, I heard the mess of other people, and I talk a lot in front of the second sister!"

"Don't bully the third sister to be honest!" Sheng Weiqiao knew that Rong Sleeping Crane would not care about such a thing, so he glanced at him and comforted Sheng Weirao, "If he dares to mess around, see if I don't beat him!"

Rong Sleeping Crane touched his chin and smiled at Sheng Weirao: "Did you hear that?" Your sister is amazing, it's good if she doesn't bully me, and you're still worried that I will bully her? This is simply unreasonable!"

Seeing that he really didn't take it to heart, Sheng Weirao breathed a sigh of relief, and teased again: "Ah, brother-in-law, isn't this because this is the Sheng family?

This scene passed with a joke and a joke.

However, on the way back to the county king's mansion that day, Sheng Weiqiao twisted Rong Sleeping Crane's ears in the carriage, and said angrily: "Okay! You said before that you liked me, but you just fell in love with my appearance! You still said that you can't live without me!"

Rong Sleeping Crane shouted injustice: "I have always been loyal and sincere to the obedient girl, when have I ever said such a thing?!"

"Didn't you tell the third sister that you don't look down on those tricksters, but because their appearance is not as outstanding as mine?" Sheng Weiqiao sneered, "Doesn't this mean that you purely fell in love with my appearance at the beginning?!!

"......" Rong Sleeping Crane secretly spat out a mouthful of blood, "Didn't I see that Fuchang was very embarrassed when I was arrested, and I said it casually in order to relieve her!"

But Sheng Weiqiao felt: "You can only see the truth when you say it casually! It can be seen that you are a judge of people by their appearance in your bones!"

"Then I have seen the two Shu Niangniang in the palace?" Rong Sleeping Crane wiped his face, and said in his heart that this little ancestor was really getting more and more difficult to serve, and he tried hard to defend himself, "The two Shu Niangniang are not under you in terms of posture and charm, right? Do you see if I am confused by them? I am too late to calculate them! It can be seen that I still like you the most, right?"

When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, his eyes suddenly widened: "Beast, you! Although those two are not your serious aunts, how can you say that they are also the concubines of your serious uncles, you can actually think of going up?!Sure enough, I misjudged you, you are actually such a person!!

She originally wanted to pretend to be embarrassed to allow the sleeping crane for a while, but she couldn't help laughing when she pretended to be here, and she leaned back and fell directly in his arms, and the face of the sleeping crane froze when she saw it, and after thinking about it, her eyes narrowed dangerously, and she touched her cheek for a while, as if she was smiling: "Good girl, it seems that your sleeping brother has been too busy for the past two days, and he hasn't taught you much, so you are not honest again, right?"

He nodded Sheng Weiqiao's cheek, "You wait!"
