Chapter 266: Weird
For this point, the reason why the Gongsun sisters and brothers agreed with Sheng Sleeping Crane before: "The talent is outstanding, so that the emperor can't bear to cast the pearl secretly." ”
When Sheng Weiqiao didn't think about it before, he also said that this was true, after all, Sheng Sleeping Crane's talent was really good.
But now that I think about it, if it's just a good talent, it may not be able to impress Huan Guanlan, right?
After all...... What is Huan Guanlan's vision?
When his official residence was a product and his name as a great Confucian, how many people traveled thousands of miles and knelt in front of the door just to get his advice?
To put it mildly, the talent of Sheng Sleeping Crane is very rare and rare for ordinary people, and for Huan Guanlan, it is estimated that it has long been strange.
After all, when this person was not yet in trouble, it can be said that there were many talented people in the world who wanted to worship him like a carp crossing the river, even if it was a registered disciple, they all broke their heads.
The disciples he personally taught are even more outstanding in terms of qualifications, talents, vision, patterns, and so on.
In this case, when Huan Guanlan first saw the sleeping crane on Tortoiseshell Island, he might have been surprised that there was a good seedling of reading in such a bandit den...... But, at best, it's an accident, right?
After all, he has not seen the world, and when he sees a child who can remember to draw inferences, he bursts into tears with excitement, thinking that he has a successor to his life's work.
To put it mildly, he has so many disciples and heirs on the shore, and he is not considered to have no successors in his life, why do he have to accept a closed disciple when he is coming?
You must know that although the literati are not afraid of the disciples of the church starving to death of the master, the hard work accumulated throughout their lives is impossible for normal people to hand over casually, right?
In particular, Huan Guanlan's accumulation is not only in terms of knowledge, but also in terms of his prestige, connections, and political wisdom and experience in a high position...... Where can these be entrusted to people casually?
If you entrust a gangster, according to the close relationship between master and apprentice at this time, wouldn't even your posthumous name be affected, and even leave a disaster to your family?
"Is it because of his background?" Sheng Weiqiao thought silently, "However...... It seems that the emperor has always been wary of King Gaomi, right? If he knew that he was the son of King Gaomi, he should be even more reluctant to teach him!"
After thinking about it, he had been brought to the boudoir of Huan Yehe.
Because I was distracted, I didn't react until I entered the door, but I didn't have time to look at the name of this place.
As the most famous noble girl in Chang'an City in recent years, and a recognized talented woman, there is nothing special about this place where Huan Ye lives, it is just a very ordinary lady's beautiful furnishings.
Therefore, Sheng Weiqiao and the three of them looked around a little and then withdrew their gaze and began to look at the young ladies who arrived first in the room.
Two of them look very familiar, they were seen at the birthday banquet of the Duke of Zheng Guo's Mansion last time, and the others are more eye-catching, Sheng Weiqiao estimates that their father and brother are estimated to be biased towards King Gaomi?
Seeing that the five of them came in with Sheng Weiqiao, the people who arrived first got up one after another to greet Xu Caikui, and asked Sheng Weiqiao by the way. Listening to Xu Caikui's introduction that it was after the Xu family's family friendship, but they were not the daughters of high-ranking officials, the interest of these people was reduced by half. But because of the unfamiliarity, there are no grievances, so although the attitude is not very enthusiastic, there is no deliberate humiliation of people, a few polite words, and sit back in place.
Occasionally, there are topics to bring them, and most of them are talking to Xu Caikui.
This situation made Xu Caikui feel very embarrassed, but after trying a few times, she couldn't bring in Sheng Weiqiao and the others, but Sheng Weiqiao found an opportunity to comfort her: "You don't have to worry about us, we just came here to sit." After all, we will go back to Nanfeng County in a few days, and it doesn't matter if we are intimate with them or not. It's you, after leaving the cabinet, you only left Chang'an temporarily, and it has been a long time to deal with them when you go back, so it's better to talk more at this time. ”
Xu Caikui saw that she really didn't care, so she didn't try to pull Sheng Weiqiao into the circle.
Fortunately, the three members of the Sheng family didn't survive for long, and Huan Yehe accompanied the last two guests to step into the threshold with a smile.
Gongsun Yingjiang was looking around with nothing to do, and when he looked up and saw the person on Huan Yehe's left hand, his face changed!
After all, she is this age, and when she encounters an unexpected thing at first glance, although she can't make a drop of water in her expression, she doesn't make a sound, and with the fact that several of them are not taken seriously at the moment, this gaffe has not yet reached the point where it is enough to attract attention.
But Sheng Weiwei was young, but she subconsciously blurted out: "You look a bit like my eldest brother?"
At the same time, Sheng Weiqiao's heart sank suddenly!
In fact, the two guests who were brought in by Huan Yehe personally didn't look at Sheng Weiqiao and the others at all.
After all, the place where Sheng Weiqiao and the three of them were sitting here was not very eye-catching, and the people around them did not mean to talk to them, so they naturally showed that they were left out in the cold, and naturally they couldn't attract the attention of the people who came in.
But at this time, when everyone saw these two coming, most of them either stopped talking, or tidied up their dresses and prepared to get up to greet each other, even if Sheng Weiwei did not deliberately raise her voice, this sentence also clearly entered the ears of those present!
The six lines of sight that had just crossed the threshold suddenly turned, and they all fell on Sheng Weiwei!
"Eighth sister, you're here again!" Sheng Weiqiao noticed Huan Yehe's gaze of "hurry up and find a way", sighed secretly, and squeezed his hand on Sheng Weiwei's arm, signaling this sister not to refute her words next, and said, "Even if you think that our eldest brother is good-looking, you won't see a beautiful sister, just compare it with your eldest brother! I told you earlier, the homework taught by Mr. still needs to be taken care of, look at your lazy appearance!
Saying that, he got up and made a blessing salute, "Please also invite Huihe County Lord Haihan!"
Hearing this, the people around him suddenly said: The co-author is Sheng Weiwei is young and can't describe the beauty, because he admires his brother's appearance, so when he sees a good look, he says that he looks like his eldest brother?
Because these people didn't know the inside story, in fact, they didn't take Sheng Weiwei's words at ease, and then they didn't continue to care anymore, and they all stepped forward to greet: "Lord Huihe, what a rare guest!"
…… Speaking of which, Sheng Weiqiao really didn't expect that Huan Yehe invited the county lord of Huihe and Zhao Taocheng over today: the two last guests to arrive at this time were them.
At this moment, Sheng Weiqiao suddenly had a headache: although Zhao Taocheng had seen Sheng Sleeping Crane, it was probably because Princess Gaomi had not seen outsiders, including the foreign family, for too long, so that the young Zhao Taocheng didn't know what her aunt looked like, so like Zhao Li, she didn't show any doubts about Sheng Sleeping Crane's appearance.
But now that Sheng Weiwei said "like my eldest brother", such a clear reminder, and the county lord of Huihe is still present, will Zhao Taocheng not doubt it?
Fortunately, Zhao Taocheng didn't know if she really didn't suspect it, or if she suspected it, but she knew that the matter was covered up, and at this moment, she nodded with a smile at Sheng Weiqiao and the others, and turned her head to the county lord of Huihe, who ignored Sheng Weiqiao's apology and greeted everyone with a flat expression...... This Sheng Eighth Sister is young and doesn't know how to use many adjectives, so let's compare her brother Sheng Da Gong to you, although it is a little inappropriate, but it is also true, that Sheng Da Gong I met when I went out to see the lights with the fifth brother last time, and he is indeed a talented and beautiful scholar, and it is not an insult to your appearance. ”
Originally, although they were cousins, firstly, Huihe was the elder sister, and secondly, Zhao Taocheng did not have a seal from the imperial court, so it is said that this is a bit too casual.
However, probably because of the good relationship between the sisters, the county lord of Huihe frowned when he heard this, and seemed to be reluctant, but in the end he nodded to Sheng Weiqiao, and said lightly: "It's not a big deal, you don't have to make such a big deal and cause people to misunderstand!"
Although there was still a little annoyance in her tone, it was not a big deal after all, Sheng Weiwei was young, and this county lord said this in front of so many people, that is, in the past.
Sheng Weiqiao thanked him, so he gave Zhao Taocheng a grateful look.
At this time, Zhao Taocheng and the county lord of Huihe were pushed by everyone to sit at the top, and the others also sat separately, Sheng Weiqiao and the three of them were naturally ranked lower because of their official positions as the relatives of the family, and they were almost at the bottom of the seat, so Zhao Taocheng was inconvenient to say anything to her, and only blinked her eyes to say that she didn't have to care.
After they handed over these looks, they listened to Huihe County Lord and the people on the left and right after recounting a few words, and said slowly: "Originally, it was still cold at this time, and you also know that my mother's body has not been very good in recent years, so I originally planned to accompany her in the mansion and not go out." But since it's Jingshu's sister's post, I want to take a trip anyway. ”
Huan Yehe heard this, and said with a smile: "This is as if it gives me face, I see, eighty percent of the princess loves you, thinking that the lord of Qingfang has been out of the pavilion for some years, and one of your daughters has been with her for many years, and she is afraid that she will be bored, so she took the initiative to persuade you to come!"
Everyone agreed: "The county lord is filial, but how can the princess not feel sorry for the county lord?"
In fact, there should be no problem with this, after all, the county lord of Huihe is not the princess of Deping, the princess of the palace from Concubine Mo, she is the biological daughter of Princess Gaomi, and she is still the youngest child.
It is said that even if Princess Gaomi is not in peace, it is reasonable that she still does not forget to sympathize with this little daughter.
But Sheng Weiqiao had not yet withdrawn his gaze at Zhao Taocheng, but found that when Zhao Taocheng heard words like "The princess loves you", the corners of her mouth curved, and she seemed to be smiling, but it was clearly ...... Mock?
She was surprised in her heart, and subconsciously went to see the county lord of Huihe, and saw that the county lord did not have much happiness at the same time, but subconsciously frowned, and then as if realizing that such a reaction was not good, Fang quickly let go of her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth rose, and a smile was revealed...... This expression was obviously deliberately faked.
I don't know if it's because of the doubts in my heart, at this time, Sheng Weiqiao looked at the county lord of Huihe again, not only felt that her smile was very reluctant, but also showed a little sadness?
"This Gaomi Mansion is really strange!" Sheng Weiqiao was puzzled, "The concubine Deping County Lord has lived in Xinshou Palace for many years, and she can't go back to her home, and she is twenty years old...... Well, a twenty-one-year-old person, he hasn't been out of the cabinet yet, and he can still be said to be affected by his biological mother, Concubine Mo. But the second son Rong Qing was drunk and seriously injured, and he could only be fostered in the Zhao Mansion outside the family...... Oh, there is also a 'premature' third son, what the hell is going on in this family?!"
Moreover, Zhao Taocheng, as the maiden niece and nephew of Princess Gaomi, obviously knows something, otherwise she wouldn't have shown that mocking smile...... But in this situation, she is a little gloating and indifferent...... This Miss Zhao San doesn't seem to be the kind of person who is scathing and mean, what kind of inside story does this have???"
