However, despite the chaos in their hearts and their reluctance, looking at Sheng Sleeping Crane's slightly frowning brows and Sen Ran's gaze, Yi Shan and Yi Liu immediately lowered their heads and said in a deep voice, "Obey the orders of the son!"

Yiliu hesitated, but finally said: "Childe, since you care so much about Miss Sheng San's thoughts, then you just let the slaves talk about the so-called family...... What if Miss Sheng San really wants to find it for the slaves?"

"You don't have to worry about this, the people in those places are originally our people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 "Sheng Sleeping Crane said in a cold tone, "I'm worried that I can't communicate with them quietly, but there is a ready-made opportunity in front of me!"

This is the truth, the two families he asked Yishan to tell Yiliu were spies sent by the Gongsun clan to Chang'an a few years ago. After all, as a fourth-generation bandit, there are still pirates who are interested in being recruited by the imperial court, and the emperor who was shocked on the island is still the former emperor who was defeated by the favored concubine and almost died at sea...... Even if the Gongsun clan tried his best to cover the news, he was really panicked.

So when the old sea lord Gongsun Tu was still there, he sent his henchmen to bring money and goods, pretending to be foreign businessmen, and officially settled in Gyeonggi, so as to be the eyes and ears for a long time.

At that time, Gongsun Tu did this, mainly because he didn't dare to do anything to Huan Guanlan, and he was afraid that the two Shu Niangniang in the palace would kill Huan Guanlan and Gongsun on Tortoiseshell Island after knowing that Huan Guanlan was on Tortoiseshell Island.

It is to take precautions and let people look at the wind in Chang'an, but whenever there is a suspicious rumor of this kind of wind in the government and the opposition, the spies can fly the pigeon to report the news as soon as possible, so that the Gongsun clan has more time to deal with it.

Although these people were sent by Gongsun Tu, the old sea lord, and they had no friendship with Sheng Sleeping Crane, but Gongsun Tu had been dead in battle for two years, as Gongsun Tu's righteous son, the current sea lord and Gongsun Tu's only son, Gongsun Shu's most valued arm, Sheng Sleeping Crane could naturally use them.

It's just that these people have been lurking for several years, but Sheng Sleeping Crane's current identity is a scholar who came to Chang'an for the first time, and he has never had a relationship with them. Rushing to and fro, I was worried that someone would see the flaw, so I didn't get in touch for a long time.

Today, the turmoil caused by the arrival of Yishan and Yiliu, Sheng Sleeping Crane just took advantage of it to dispel Sheng Weiqiao's suspicions.

At this moment, he said this, although Yi Shan and Yi Liu felt that this statement inevitably gave people a feeling of being too coincidental, but when they saw him waving his hand, they didn't dare to say anything more, so they bent their knees and retreated, and went to pack their luggage, ready to come over and start their formal study maid career.

Sheng Sleeping Crane and Green Jin didn't know each other's thoughts, but the exquisite cooperation by mistake made Sheng Weiqiao dispel his doubts a few days later: "It turns out that these two people were really sold from Chang'an to Nanfeng County by human traffickers?

He sighed, "These traffickers really deserve to be killed!"

Sheng Xiang, who was talking back and forth, echoed: "Isn't it? It is said that King Gaomi once advocated vigorously rectifying such traitors, but it is a pity that the children of high-ranking families, even if there are no elders to watch them, they are accompanied by a group of nursing mothers and maids, who are accompanied by human traffickers? ”

"The princes of the imperial court did not feel the pain of their skin, and they thought that it would not harm the overall situation of the world, but they did not know how painful it was for their parents to lose their delicate children and daughters, and for their children to leave the arms of their parents!

"Alas, if King Gaomi's original proposal had been taken seriously, the two girls Yishan and Yiliu would not have had this upheaval experience, but fortunately, they met you, Miss, and it can be regarded as whether Jitai is here!"

Sheng Weiqiao thought that Sheng Xiang was his grandfather's person, not Sheng Sleeping Crane's subordinates, and he had his own personal maid Green Brocade to supervise, and he would not lie to himself, so although he was a little regretful that he didn't catch Sheng Sleeping Crane's handle, he sighed for a while about the fate of Yishan and Yiliu, and ordered Green Brocade to treat some of the second daughters well, so they no longer pursued the matter.

This naturally makes the sleeping crane breathe a sigh of relief!

Time was fast, and it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

During the day on this day, Xu Zijing and his wife came in person and invited them to Ningweihou's Mansion for the New Year.

However, Sheng Weiqiao, Sheng Weiwei and Gongsun Yingjiang all felt that going to the Hou Mansion was not as comfortable as staying in this house, not to mention that Sheng Weiqiao would inevitably be embarrassed after meeting Xu Caikui.

So Sheng Sleeping Crane was familiar with the road, and Xu Zijing and his wife were finally disappointed, so they could only leave a large number of food to eat, and told them that if there was anything, remember to notify the Hou Mansion immediately, and then left with a sigh.

On the evening of this day, Sheng Weiqiao was secretly relieved because Meng Guihuan had said before, "My aunt may call you to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet", and did not see the arrival of the lieutenant at this moment.

Since the ancestral house of the Sheng family is far away in Nanfeng County, there are only a few juniors in Chang'an, and most of them are still female dependents. Therefore, the ancestor worship that should have been solemn on Chinese New Year's Eve was led by Sheng Sleeping Crane, and the ancestral tablet of the Sheng family prepared a few days in advance was placed on the top of the main hall, and it was okay to kowtow a few times after setting up the table.

It was night, listening to the sound of firecrackers in Chang'an City, after the four of them had a sumptuous dinner, they specially took the cattail to play in the small flower hall, so as not to be bored in the New Year.

This night, Sheng Weiqiao finally didn't have the other playmates who were frightened all the way to attack him like he had done in the side hall of Xinshou Palace.

However, Sheng Weiwei, probably because the children were lucky during the New Year's holiday, they were very lucky and won a lot of copper coins. So that the little girl was in poor spirits at night, but later she became more and more courageous, until dawn, her eyes were blazing, and she had no sleep, only looking at the hill in front of her, and smiled, pulled up her cuffs, and felt that she could come back for another hundred games!

It's a pity that under the suppression of both brothers and sisters, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, after eating a bowl of longan stuffed eggs, he was ordered to go back to the room to rest immediately.

At this time, the custom is not to go out on the first day of the Lunar New Year, to reunite with one's own flesh and blood, to enjoy the joy of family, to return to her parents' home on the second day of the second year of the new year, and to go around officially from the third day of the new year.

After sending Sheng Weiwei and Gongsun Yingjiang to settle down, Sheng Sleeping Crane discussed with Sheng Weiqiao: "Let's go to Ningweihou's Mansion early in the third day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings, and if we can say goodbye in time, we will go to Uncle Tu Shi's place in the afternoon." If the Ningwei Hou Mansion insists on staying with us for a while, then go to the Tu Mansion to congratulate us on the fourth day of the new year, what do you think?"

Sheng Weiqiao reminded him: "When I went to Uncle Tu Shi's place before, Uncle Tu Shi and Aunt Jiang were at the knee of Fenglou Shimei, and the two brothers are said to be outside the city on behalf of the uncle and aunt to be filial to their grandfather and grandmother!

"I'll send someone to inquire later. Hearing this, Sheng Sleeping Crane muttered, "Because Uncle Tu Shi is the confidant of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of Wuyang, I think that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of Wuyang has a lot of entertainment for the New Year, and there may be many places that rely on Uncle Shi, so Aunt Jiang and Sister Fenglou are also okay, and Uncle Shi may not have time to leave Chang'an." Maybe my aunt took my sister to serve her in-laws outside the city, and Uncle Shi still stayed in the house?"

After all, the reason why they want to go to Tufu to pay New Year's greetings is mainly to Tu Ruchuan, so it doesn't matter where the rest of the people in Tufu are, the key is Tu Ruchuan's traces.

Half a day later, Sheng Xiang personally went out to inquire about the results, but it proved that Sheng Sleeping Crane was right, Tu Ruchuan left the city yesterday afternoon, and returned to the ancestral house outside the city with his wife and daughter to visit his parents and elders, and participated in the Chinese New Year's Eve ancestral worship. But I will return to the city alone this evening, and tomorrow I will continue to go to the mansion of the eldest princess of Wuyang on an errand.

This is not that the eldest princess of Wuyang deliberately made things difficult for her long history, but because the eldest princess of Wuyang's concubine Yang Wuhou Lijun died a few years ago, and the eldest princess has four daughters and one son under her knees, and the four daughters have been out of the cabinet, and they are released with their husbands, and they are not in Chang'an.

And Yichun Marquis Li Shengxu is a well-known sick jar in Chang'an City, and he took medicine before eating, so that a few years ago, Empress Dowager Meng took pity on the eldest princess of Wuyang, and specially attacked him from the title of his father Yangwu Marquis Li Junze, and changed the title to Yichun, and allowed him not to attack in order to pray for blessings.

This person has been able to live until now, I don't know how much thought it took to spend the eldest princess of Wuyang. So although he is also nineteen years old, it should be the age that can support the portal, and because the eldest princess of Wuyang found a long-retired former imperial physician a year ago, legend has it that he finally found a prescription that can make Li Shengxu heal, but after all, the time is still short, not to mention whether he has fully recovered in such a short time, even if he really recovers, the people who have watched him grow up are not at ease and immediately ask him to work.

Therefore, in the huge Wuyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, there is currently only one eldest princess who is busy with everything else, and she doesn't even have a decent helper.

In this case, Tu Ruchuan, who has a long history, can't take his family to the city for the New Year, so he can't take his family to the city for the New Year, so he has to go on a mission in advance.

"It's no wonder that Uncle Shi could invite Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to come to the Queen Mother in person to round the field for us. Sheng Weiqiao listened and sighed, "This is a year round around the eldest princess's mansion, and there is no time to spare, how can Her Royal Highness the eldest princess not be extra compassionate? ”

Sheng Sleeping Crane said with a smile: "Actually, even if Uncle Shi doesn't go on a trip in advance, the book under the big festival can't be stopped." It's us, Uncle Xu Shi and Uncle Tu Shi's walk, and the other families that my father said before will inevitably go over to pay New Year's greetings and give gifts. In this way, not to mention that there is no day to rest before the Lantern Festival, but it is estimated that I will go out every day before the tenth day of the new year. This is still the premise that your uncles and uncles should not be too enthusiastic in their families, otherwise they are all like Aunt Nan of the Xu Shishu, either in person to invite, or send posts from time to time, and they have to socialize somewhat, and some are busy!"

"I really want to go back to Nanfeng County!!" Sheng Weiqiao heard this, and suddenly wailed, and said weakly, "I have never been so troublesome during the Chinese New Year before, that is, I got up early to kowtow to my grandfather and grandmother to say goodbye, took the New Year's money to eat and play, and then went to Feng's house and Xuanyu's house to pay New Year's greetings, and also kowtowed to ask An to eat and play with the New Year's money...... If you don't say I'm sick to the outside world, can you take Ying Jiang out for entertainment?"

Sheng Sleeping Crane hurriedly reassured: "It's really childlike, don't talk nonsense under the big festival! I'm just going to say that, you think that after the first month of the new year, it's spring, and your uncles and uncles will definitely not bother us too much at this time in order to let me concentrate on studying! That is, every family has to go to say hello to the New Year!"

He added, "Every family is very busy during the New Year, and how many relatives and friends want to walk around to greet them." After all, we are just juniors, even if the uncles and uncles of the world read on the love of their father, and they have no intention of slacking off us, they must be lacking in skills at this time, and they can't spare any time to talk to us for a long time. ”

It was so easy to talk about it that persuaded Sheng Weiqiao and made her dispel the idea of pretending to be sick.

It's just that...... Sheng Sleeping Crane didn't say it this time.
