After a while, the maid took a few scrolls of paintings, and Sheng Weiqiao opened them on the spot and showed them to Zhao Li and Zhao Han, proving that these were genuine works, so he sent them away with the paintings.

Sheng Weiqiao, who had finished sending off the guests, was concentrating on preparing for Sheng Weirao's upcoming blind date, but the Zhao brothers whispered after leaving the Mizhen County Palace: "Fifth brother, have you heard it? Cousin Sheng asked you not to pull the county lord of Fuchang to say that you can't paint in the future! And our family is not very familiar with the Sheng family, so it is embarrassing for you to inquire directly about the county lord of Fuchang." ”

Zhao Li frowned and said: "Over the years, there has been no one in my family who has supported me to study the way of Danqing, it is rare to meet someone who knows how to do it and seems to be old, discuss two sentences of technique and color adjustment, you also have to think so much?"

Zhao Han hurriedly said: "Fifth brother, it's not that I think too much, it's that what Cousin-in-law Sheng meant in her words! You also know that the third sister had a relationship with Cousin Mizhen before, although the third sister is reluctant to mention Cousin-in-law Sheng until now, who knows if Cousin-in-law Sheng also has any opinions on the people in our family?"

"If Cousin-in-law Sheng is so stingy, will she still lend me paintings?" Zhao Li said, "You are just too careful, the matter between the third sister and Cousin Mizhen is, in the final analysis, a misunderstanding, and Cousin Mizhen has long been good with Cousin-in-law Sheng, so she takes the third sister as her cousin at all." If you want to blame it, you can only blame my aunt for her son's heart, and she went to our house to discuss with her grandmother without figuring it out, but it is no wonder that my cousin and sister-in-law are secret. ”

Zhao Han frowned slightly, knowing that this cousin loved Wu and Wu, because of the scrolls that Sheng Weiqiao borrowed, and promised that in the future, Zhao Li would go south to Nanfeng County, and he would let Feng borrow Gong'e Wangxingtu to show him, and he had a good impression of Sheng Weiqiao, and he couldn't listen to it.

He sighed secretly and said: "The fifth brother just said this in front of me, and it is better to be cautious when I go back to the third sister! After all, even the third sister knows that this matter is not to blame for cousin Mizhen and cousin-in-law, but whoever has been ridiculed for so long will often be pulled out and talked about...... How can this be better?"

"Don't worry, I'm just saying in front of you, when I get to the third sister, I will definitely never mention the Mizhen County Palace. Fortunately, although Zhao Li is obsessed with Danqing, he still loves his sister and sister, and nodded when he heard this.

…… The conversation between their brothers, Sheng Weiqiao didn't know it, and the time came to the fifth festival in a blink of an eye.

This year's Chongwu Festival did not have the special instructions of Empress Dowager Meng, so Shanglin Yuan was not used, and a palace banquet was held in the imperial city.

On the eve of the Fifth Festival, there was a faint news in the palace, saying that Queen Meng had been shrinking in Wangchun Palace for many years, and she couldn't help but feel bored. However, the Empress Dowager Meng refused after repeated thinking, this is not that she does not give face to the queen, nor does she have any other considerations, in the final analysis, it is that the queen mother is old and her energy is not as good as before.

So I don't have to eat too much.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that it was not to help the Meng family maintain its influence, with the current situation of the Empress Dowager Meng's phoenix body, she would prefer to stay quietly in the Xinshou Palace to concentrate on recuperation.

Originally, the court was a little rumored because Emperor Xuanjing's age was over half a hundred, and at this time, the queen mother passed on the news of aging, and the atmosphere of this heavy five banquets inevitably brought a bit of slaughter.

It is crooked with the temperament of the candidate recommended to Sheng Weirao by the Qi family.

This person's surname is Zang, his name is Wanzhou, and his expression is blue, I don't know if it is because he came to Chang'an from the north of Xinjiang, and he still has the evil spirit of a soldier in the army.

The Qi family introduced in advance that his ancestral home is also from the south, but it is in the area of Jiannan, but it is not close to Nanfeng County. Generally speaking, southerners are generally not as tall as northerners, but this Zang Wanzhou is not, he was born tall and burly, and he is also a tiger when he walks, and he is a martial artist at a glance.

If you just look at the physique, Rong Sleeping Crane, who has a beautiful appearance and a thin body, will be compared to a weak scholar who has no power to restrain chickens.

This person's appearance is also very commensurate with his physique, thick eyebrows and big eyes, not handsome, but dignified.

To be honest, this is not quite in line with the general appreciation of girls nowadays, and the most popular in the country at this time is the kind of sleeping crane, which is polite and polite, and Shao Run is beautiful.

But in the eyes of old people like Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Ming, this appearance is very eye-catching.

Especially the old lady, who thinks that this appearance is a sign of manliness, and he looks at it kindly, but he is like a sleeping crane, and he is very suspicious of a little white face...... Well, there is no way, when he was a grandson, the old lady would never say that about him, and who dared to say that Rong Sleeping Crane, it is estimated that the old lady would be the first to be anxious with him.

However...... This is the treatment of the grandson-in-law.

Because Zang Wanzhou's close relatives are no longer there, the Sheng family only needs to consider him at this time.

Old lady Sheng and Mrs. Ming knew that they were not good at twisting and turning, and because this matter was introduced by the Qi family, if they spoke too bluntly and stiffly, they would inevitably offend the Qi family, and maybe it would affect Sheng Weiqiao's relationship with the Qi family.

It was in advance that Yu Feng went out and talked to Zang Wanzhou for a long time.

In the end, seeing that Xuan Yu Feng made the gesture of "I have finished asking", he found an excuse to send him and Sheng Weirao to go around the imperial garden alone, and politely sent away the Qi brothers and sisters-in-law, and covered the palace door, and discussed anxiously: "How is it?"

Xuan Yu Feng said slowly: "Let's talk about it first: the marriage of the girl's family, I am afraid that it will affect my whole life, such a big matter, I don't dare to say anything about it." I'll just say that the inference I just said to that kid is that he doesn't plan to leave the army, at least not now. So he hopes to marry a wife who has a bit of makeup, and the best of the maiden family is also a little powerful, as for others, such as appearance, whether he has been married, these are secondary. ”

"The main thing is that he is worried that he will die on the battlefield one day, and his family will be lonely and helpless, and his life will not be able to go on. ”

And if the wife has a dowry and the support of her mother's family, even if she is gone, it will not be too difficult for the orphan and the widow. ”

"It's because he is very satisfied with Fuchang, if you have no opinions, he would like to take advantage of this time to come back and report on his work. ”

"This is too urgent, isn't it?" Old Madam Ming didn't have any city government, although she had just announced the words of Feng and Zang Wanzhou, she heard it from the beginning to the end, but the meaning of the words was not very clear, and after listening to the explanation at the moment, she hesitated a little, "Although I look at that child is not bad, but as you said, marriage is a big matter, and you have to think about it!"

Moreover, when Mrs. Ming heard that Zang Wanzhou was serving in the Northern Generals, she only thought of the bitterness in the north, and now she was reminded that there was a risk of death in the army, especially the foreign enemy Ruru, so she said that the situation in the court at this time, King Gaomi and the Meng clan would have a battle sooner or later, and it would affect the Northern Xinjiang Army.

In this way, even if this Zang Wanzhou is a good one, regardless of the past of Sheng Weirao, he will concentrate on this girl...... In case he really comes to a horse leather shroud in a few years, how can this make his granddaughter cry?

When Mrs. Ming thought of this, she retreated, "This is the first time ......I've seen my face! Didn't you hide something and don't want us to know?"

When she said this, she was glared at by Old Lady Sheng and said: "If you have no evidence, you are suspicious! Qiao'er and her aunt are the most shrewd, but how old is that kid, how can they be Qiao'er and her aunt's opponent? After being coiled for so long, they don't show any flaws? Since Qiao'er and her aunt didn't say this, then there must be no! Besides, this person was recommended by the Qi family, and their aunt and wife are Qiao'er's sister-in-law, and they have always let Qiao'er, how dare they cheat Qiao'er's cousin in such a thing?!"

Mrs. Ming will come to her senses at this time, and their old couple specially entrusted Xuan Yu Feng to help explore Zang Wanzhou's bottom, but at this time, they suspected that Zang Wanzhou had something else to hide, didn't this mean that Xuan Yu Feng couldn't do it?

She was very embarrassed to apologize to Xuan Yu Feng: "I'm an old fool, you look at Qiao'er's face, don't be like me!"

Xuan Yu Feng didn't care and said: "Why do you have to see the old lady outside, I don't have a daughter, I want to have a daughter, this son-in-law must also be suspicious, what is good and bad can be taken into account to rest assured." He raised his chin towards Sheng Weiqiao, "Before Qiao'er left the cabinet, I had been involved in her family affairs for a long time. ”

Because after all, it is in the palace or at the palace banquet, even if the Qi family relies on their relationship with King Gaomi to make such a side hall for them to go on a blind date and discuss, but the old lady Sheng, the old lady Ming and the Xuan Yu Feng family are either not of high grade or simply have no grade, and it is a privilege to be able to come to the palace banquet today, and it is okay not to show up for a long time during the banquet.

But Sheng Weiqiao and Rong Sleepy Crane belonged to the clan members after all, and they were still close relatives of Emperor Xuanjing, so it was not good to run around casually.

Rong Sleeping Crane was invited away not long after the banquet, and he didn't get out of the body at all, Sheng Weiqiao was alone at this time, and he smiled when he heard the words: "Yes, grandmother, you don't know, my aunt's guess at that time was called a whimsy, I couldn't have imagined that my aunt would think about it like that!"

After giving her grandmother a round, she brought the topic back to the right path, "Speaking of whether Zang Wanzhou can be a good match for the fourth sister, grandfather, aren't you also from the Northern Xinjiang Army?

Old lady Sheng said depressedly: "Do you think I didn't do this? It's just that this kid follows the Qi family closely on weekdays, and outsiders also know some of his military exploits, etc., and they are not very clear about his specific personality, especially his attitude towards his wife and children...... It's the marriage in front of him, and there are still many people in the army who don't know about it!"

He sighed and showed a gloomy look, "It's been more than twenty years...... You say, "Your grandfather is still in the army?"

Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly comforted: "It's okay if you're not in the army! Isn't your eyesight still there? For example, the uncle you picked for your eldest aunt is not excellent?"

Her restless little aunt Sheng Lanling abandoned her fiancé who was told by the family and eloped with someone, and the result was not human, but the eldest aunt Sheng Lanxin, who followed her father's order to leave the cabinet, still has a good relationship with her husband Shen Ji.

"Let's talk about this and that, as if everyone had agreed on this matter and decided it immediately. Old lady Sheng smiled reluctantly, but she didn't fully regain her interest, and only said, "Rao'er just went out for a walk with that child, and I don't know what I think when I come back!"

This is right, everyone was silent for a while, and Xuan Yu Feng said: "Then let's return to the table, right? Since I don't know if this can be done, after staying here for a long time, people can guess as much as they want." ”

Old lady Sheng nodded, so everyone returned to the main hall of the banquet one after another, fortunately, at this time, the silk and bamboo voices were in a hurry, and everyone was either enjoying the song and dance, or talking to each other, and many seats were also empty, but not many people paid attention to them...... In fact, there are not a few opportunities to go on blind dates such as palace banquets.

Even today, it is not only Sheng Weirao and Zang Wanzhou.

Among the people who were not present at this time, there were also several young ladies who were called by their parents to go to the imperial garden to see their fate.

For example, Sheng Weirao and Zang Wanzhou just turned a rockery, and they happened to meet Zhao Li and a girl in a green shirt standing on the road not far away, and the atmosphere was strange.
