Chapter 137: Sleeping Crane: Talk! Must talk! Have to...
Sheng Weiqiao was stunned for a while before he said, "Uncle Shi, you want to help my brother follow the path of the two Shu Niangniang, but do you also want to introduce him to the prince of Gaomi?" ”
After all, the relationship between the eldest princess of Wuyang and the Shu sisters is well known to the world, because of the smooth wrists of the eldest princess of Wuyang, after the Shu sisters entered the palace, their identities were different from before, and they did not share with the old master. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Now that Tu Ruchuan, the chief historian of the Wuyang Eldest Princess Mansion, said that the Shu sisters planned to fall to King Gaomi, Sheng Weiqiao naturally had to worry that this uncle was actually persuading Sheng Sleeping Crane to stand in line - Sheng Weiqiao didn't want Sheng Sleeping Crane to learn the neutrality of Ning Weihou Mansion, after all, the current Sheng Sleeping Crane was not qualified to remain neutral at all.
The problem is that they haven't been in Chang'an for a long time, and their understanding of King Gaomi and the Meng family is not very deep, so Sheng Weiqiao gambled on Sheng Sleeping Crane in front of Empress Dowager Meng. Now that the results have not come out, who knows if it is right or wrong, and will it be self-defeating?
It was Sheng Weiqiao who did not approve of Sheng Shenghe's decision at this time - but for Tu Ruchuan to come to the door in the wind and snow that day to remind them of their friendship, and yesterday's intention to specially invite his boss Princess Wuyang to enter the palace to escort Sheng Weiqiao's audience, if he mentioned it like this, it would be difficult for the brother and sister to refuse.
This will Sheng Weiqiao also took the initiative to speak because she was a girl, because if she offended Tu Ruchuan, Sheng Sleeping Crane could also reprimand him as an eldest brother.
If Sheng Sleeping Crane came by himself, in case he said that he was stiff, according to the customary rules at this time, Sheng Weiqiao was a junior girl, and she was not very old, so she was not qualified to mediate between him and Tu Ruchuan!
This is also the advantage of the brother and sister going out together - whether it is good or bad, there is room for mediation.
Hearing this, although Sheng Sleeping Crane did not speak, he also looked at Tu Ruchuan quietly.
"Niece and daughter, when you are Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, are you following the two Shu Niangniang?" Seeing this, Tu Ruchuan smiled, stroked his short hair, and said, "Have you forgotten that when you entered the palace yesterday to meet the Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, the Queen Mother, and the County Lord Jingshu had a good relationship?" ”
Sheng Weiqiao was embarrassed for a while when he heard this, and felt that he was a little suspicious of a white-eyed wolf - Tu Ruchuan helped them regardless of his previous suspicions, and this would be the first time that his brother and sister came to visit him, and he didn't say a few words of greeting, but first suspected that this uncle was a lobbyist of King Gaomi.
But this will listen to Tu Ruchuan's tone, it's not like that at all!
She almost wanted to make amends directly, but this matter was very important to her and Sheng Sleeping Crane, or to the Sheng family, so although she felt very embarrassed at the moment, she still forcibly asked the root of the question: "Uncle Shi is saying?" ”
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has never been involved in politics, and she has no ambitions, her only wish is that the family can live in peace!" Tu Ruchuan sighed, "I recommended the two Shu Niangniang to the Son of Heaven for this purpose; Later, he maintained contact with the two Shu Niangniang, and the relationship is still good, for this purpose; The mediator between the queen mother and a cadre of clan relatives and noblewomen has a wide range of contacts, which is also for this purpose. ”
He looked at the Sheng family brothers and sisters, and said gently, "For this reason, although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess only has one male heir, the Marquis of Yichun, she has been hiding in the inner courtyard on the grounds of her physical discomfort, and she has rarely gone out to meet people, let alone taking important positions!" The picture is far away from the wind and clouds in the DPRK! This point was also recognized by Empress Dowager Meng, Concubine Mo and others, who unanimously restrained the Meng family and the Gaomi Royal Mansion from wooing His Royal Highness without authorization. ”
"So the choice of the two Shu Niangniang has nothing to do with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"
Tu Ruchuan smiled when he said this, "Actually, if it weren't for the fact that your brothers and sisters are all from Nanfeng County, and they have nothing to do with the Meng clan and the Gaomi Palace, I can only use my own strength to help you, where do you dare to go to His Highness for help?" Your Highness is willing to help you, in the final analysis, you don't think you will be involved in the battle between the two factions because of this, and you can still leave a favor by the way-maybe Yichun Hou will use it one day in the future? ”
He said it so calmly, Sheng Weiqiao consciously lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and he felt quite self-ashamed, and secretly scolded himself: "What a fool! Two days ago, I was talking about how could there be a problem with my father's vision, but now I actually questioned that this uncle was here! ”
Simply she apologized to Tu Ruchuan with a face full of shame, Tu Ruchuan didn't care, and was very pleased: "Your brothers and sisters are young, you don't have any elders to follow you when you go out, you should have a few eyes!" After all, my uncle doesn't get along much with you, the so-called knowing people and faces don't know their hearts, young people are most afraid of being reckless, and being cautious is an advantage. Left and right are sincere to your elders, where can they care about such a trivial matter? ”
The more generous he was, the more embarrassed Sheng Weiqiao felt.
Fortunately, at this time, Jiang felt that the time for them to talk privately was almost over, and he personally came in to inquire about the lunch arrangement.
The brother and sister had lunch in Tu's house, and then Tu Ruchuan called Sheng Sleeping Crane to go to the study to test his homework, and Sheng Weiqiao was invited to the backyard by Jiang's mother and daughter to taste tea.
Killing time in the evening like this, Tu Fu still wanted to stay for dinner, Sheng Weiqiao was worried about Sheng Weiwei, and told the truth.
Tu Ruchuan then blamed: "Why didn't those two children bring one with them?" Otherwise, we will have dinner here together and then leave, and we will save ourselves the busyness after going back, right? Uncle Shi, although I am far less rich than your Sheng family, I can still entertain a few meals! ”
After listening to Sheng Minghe's explanation, he didn't deliberately take Sheng Weiwei and them out, it was because Sheng Weiwei had frostbite before, and she was not well yet, and Gongsun Yingjiang asked Jiang to take care of this little aunt when the brothers and sisters went out, so the aunt and nephew did not come to Tufu.
Tu Ruchuan cared a few more words when he heard this, and recommended a few familiar doctors, all of whom had good medical skills and good medical ethics.
But because the Sheng family brought the doctor to Chang'an, the doctor's medical skills are actually okay, so the brothers and sisters only said that Sheng Weiwei has not obviously improved in two days, and then ask Tu Ruchuan to recommend these people.
On the way back to the house, Sheng Wei Qiaowu felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but feel a little resentful about Sheng Sleeping Crane, and didn't wait to return to the mansion, so he said in the carriage: "You haven't spoken all the time, but you can see that Uncle Tu Shi is not that kind of person?" But why don't you remind me? Is it fun to be embarrassed to see me? ”
"What?" When Sheng Sleeping Crane heard this, he didn't answer immediately, but after a while, he seemed to suddenly react, and said, "You mean you think Uncle Tu Shi is doing something like a lobbyist for King Gaomi?" I didn't deliberately fail to warn you, and I was so suspicious at the time. ”
Sheng Weiqiao didn't believe it: "You also doubt it? Then why didn't you say much? In the past, when I encountered something, I couldn't interject even if I wanted to, so what about it? It's just me talking to Uncle Tu Shi about it! ”
For example, when he moved out of Ningweihou's Mansion a few days ago, Sheng Sleeping Crane was a sharp-tongued person, and he easily blocked the Nan family's mother and son from joining forces - Sheng Weiqiao didn't have a chance to fight at all except for being forced to express his stance in the middle - it's only been a few days? It's like a different person!
Sheng Weiqiao immediately suspected: "Could it be that after this person moved out of the Ningwei Hou Mansion, he had the idea of marrying a high-ranking family, so his attitude towards me also changed?" ”
I thought about whether it was Xu Caikui's public eviction order that day, and he, the person who bore the brunt of the matter, didn't leave much shadow, but now he felt very happy when he thought of Xu Caikui, but Sheng Sleeping Crane was deeply stimulated?
"Supposedly he shouldn't be so sensitive!" Sheng Weiqiao felt puzzled and thought, "When he just entered the Sheng Mansion the year before last, I didn't drive him away!" ”
"You get out of here", shouldn't Sheng Sleeping Crane have been used to hearing it for a long time...... Is it?
Or did this sentence actually stimulate Sheng Sleeping Crane very deeply, but he had been holding back, and this time he came to Chang'an, and suddenly broke out?
She frowned, contemplating the possibilities.
And this scene fell in Sheng Sleeping Crane's eyes, only that her anger could not be eliminated, although her mind was also in chaos at the moment, she had to coax this girl with some energy-lest the relationship between the two of them that was not very right in the past few days deteriorated more and more-suppressed her irritability, and tried to make her tone appear gentle: "In that situation, I am afraid that Uncle Shi will treat us too well, if you have any requirements, when you talk to him, you feel that it is inappropriate, and you just push it on the spot!" Anyway, I can say a few words in the circle, so I won't turn my face directly in the slaughterhouse. If I talk to Uncle Shi, there will be no room for manoeuvre! ”
Sheng Weiqiao sneered and said, "Really? ”
So he closed his eyes and recuperated himself, and ignored him.
Sheng Sleeping Crane saw this situation, his brows furrowed a little more, he glanced at the maid in the car, and said in his heart that there was someone in front of him now, and it was not easy to say many words.
When I return to the house, I must make it clear to this girl - after all, the atmosphere between the two of them has been maintained for several days!
If it drags on any longer, I don't know what Sheng Weiqiao will do to himself?
After thinking about it for a while, the two of them entered the door, and Sheng Xiang greeted him and said: "Childe, you let the house you are looking for, the small one can be regarded as finding a good place today!" The location, size, interior furnishings, regulations are good, and there is a big garden by the river! Although the price is a little more expensive at the moment, the small one stuffed a tael of silver to the person in the tooth shop, and said that the seller was going to be in a hurry to sell, and it was expected that the price could be pressed, and it would be about the same as the market price at that time! Except for one problem......"
Sheng Sleeping Crane's face was relieved when he heard this, and he interrupted: "Go to the main hall and talk about it carefully!" ”
asked Sheng Weiqiao again, "Do you want to listen to it together?" The place we live in now is a bit smaller. ”
"You'll wait." Although Sheng Weiqiao had only had a cold war with him in the carriage, he was also very concerned about buying a new house - after all, Sheng Sleeping Crane was living in a spacious, bright and warm main house, but several of them had to be confined to the side room, if they couldn't change places after the spring of the next year, they would even have to go to the back room.
When he stepped up and entered the Hanging Flower Gate, he said, "I'll call the eighth sister and Ying Jiang, everyone listen!" ”
After a while, everyone gathered in the main hall, the maids made tea, and put two plates of pastries for Sheng Weiwei, and Sheng Xiang, who was standing below, carefully talked about what had happened-Speaking of Sheng Sleeping Crane from the day after he moved to this house, he told him to find a house.
Originally, although Chang'an was an inch of land, with the financial resources of the Sheng family, it would not be impossible to say that he couldn't change it if he wanted to change to a bigger house.
The problem is that he limited the lot to the south of the city, which was originally a place where the powerful and wealthy gathered, and even if there were vacant mansions, people might not be willing to put them up for sale-there were those that were put up for rent -- and in the houses that were put up for sale, several of them were caused by the old owner: either the pillars died of illness, and the family could not afford to maintain the scene, so they sold the house and planned to go to the countryside to live; Either the whole family was exiled, and the house was raided and sold.
In this case, Sheng Xiang didn't need to ask Sheng Sleeping Crane to rule it out, after all, his eldest son came to Chang'an to catch the exam, and he bought such an unlucky house before the exam, this is not a bad head!
- Even after buying it, Sheng Sleeping Crane still has a smooth title on the gold list, so that Nanfeng County knows that he is doing this kind of bastard thing, whether it is Old Lady Sheng or Sheng Lanci, they have to call Sheng Xiang back to clean up!
So although Sheng Xiang has been running around for this matter outside for the past few days, he has found a target worthy of Sheng Sleeping Crane and them to see in person.
"It is said that this house was bought by a nobleman for his juniors, so he was very careful inside and out, and it was enough to live for several generations. The specific nobleman was unwilling to be revealed, only promising that it would not be sold if something went wrong. Sheng Xiang said, "The little one was puzzled at first, saying that since something didn't go wrong, why should he sell it urgently?" There was a little bit of talk over there, the Tao is related to the nobles' housework, and I can't talk about it in detail, but I just said that if we like it, we will go directly to the yamen to sign the documents if we give the money - the small house has already gone in and seen a circle, and it is indeed a real workmanship, even if the price is more expensive than the market price, it is actually worth it. ”
He looked at Sheng Sleeping Crane, "It's because of the owner's business, the tooth shop doesn't want to say more, and the small one doesn't know, is there really no trouble after buying it?" ”
