Chapter 13 Female Training
Helping the Qi family take care of Rong Lingzhan and other young nephews and nieces, for Sheng Weiqiao, he actually didn't think so much: he just felt that there were only two hostesses in the Gaomi Palace, the princess was not in good health, and it had been several years since she handed over the power of the inner house to the princess, and now it was not realistic to let her take on the heavy responsibility;
But Rong Lingzhan and the children below are too young to be of much use.
Even if they have nursing mothers and other cares around them, but there is no biological mother who often asks about care, who knows if the next person will be slack?
Especially Rong Qingchu has a restless Tonglian by his side......
"Tonglian is dead!" The next morning, when Sheng Weiqiao told her husband what she thought, Rong Sleepy Crane was noncommittal at first, and when he heard this, he hurriedly interrupted, "I died before I arrived in Ruzhou, and it has been a few days!"
Sheng Weiqiao was very surprised: "Tonglian died, how did she die, did she die in the chaos?"
Rong Sleeping Crane shook his head and said, "It was the princess who ordered him to drown." ”
"Mother?" Sheng Weiqiao was stunned, when she didn't marry Rong Mianhe, she had heard that Princess Gaomi didn't like concubines, and she didn't like to make a "palace epidemic" on a snowy day, but after Rong Qing accepted Tonglian, although the princess never gave Tonglian a good look, in addition, it seemed that there was nothing substantial to help the Qi family.
At this time, I heard that Princess Gaomi ordered Tonglian to drown, and I couldn't help but be surprised, "Is she so bold as to offend her mother?"
Rong Sleepy Crane said: "It seems that it was because the bad news that Qi Jianxun was still the Qi family at that time passed over, and the sister-in-law couldn't accept the illness." In order to comfort her, the princess asked the eldest brother to deal with Tonglian, the eldest brother was indecisive, and when she was hesitating, the princess lost her patience and sent him away, and she cleaned up Tonglian herself. ”
Sheng Weiqiao was speechless for a while, and said: "I'll just say, when I went to the palace yesterday, I didn't see the shadow of Tonglian before and after!
She has never had a good impression of Tonglian, and when she heard that this person was gone, she didn't take it seriously.
sighed with emotion, and got back to business, "Although Lingzhan is young, the people around them are complete. After coming to our house, I just stared at the people below, and I don't think it was very troublesome...... In the end, the sister-in-law can't get up at this time, if she cares about a few young children, I'm afraid that the good ones will be even slower!"
Looking at Rong Sleeping Crane, "Are you okay with this?"
Rong Sleepy Crane secretly slandered himself: You told the Qi family, and then you came to ask Lao Tzu, can Lao Tzu still say no, and let you lose face with the Qi family?
It's just that although he didn't mean to kill Rong Qingchu's family, he didn't think about helping Rong Qingchu raise his children, and at this moment, he nodded his head in the way of his wife's face, and finally added: "Although I don't know when my sister-in-law's illness will be cured this time, you also know that my sister-in-law has always been able to raise children, and my nephews and nieces have always been very close to my sister-in-law." Lingzhan next few children, this age especially needs a mother. If the sister-in-law still doesn't get good after raising it in our house for a few days, let them go back and guard the point...... is not only just as a precaution, but also for fear that they will miss their biological mother too much. ”
Sheng Weiqiao groaned, and said in his heart that although the Qi family has not yet reached the end of his life, but he has been ill for so long, if it drags on for a long time, it is not impossible for Xiang Xiaoyu to die, and the child will not be in the palace at that time, one is not good, and maybe he will not be able to see the last side, isn't it a pity?
He bowed his head: "That's how it should be!"
Rong Sleeping Crane smiled and said, "Then let's wait for the news from my sister-in-law...... Although we have good intentions, if the sister-in-law is unwilling to disturb, it is not good to forcibly take the nephews and nieces over, right?"
Sheng Weiqiao said: "After all, I got ready first." ”
So he asked his subordinates to clean the courtyard and prepare for his nephews and nieces to live here.
It's just that she did this, although Rong Sleeping Crane did not openly oppose it, so that Sheng Lanci and his wife, who were still living in the palace and were remotely controlling the steward to clean up the Sheng Mansion, knew it, and they both frowned.
Feng Shiter called her to the courtyard where his wife lived, and reprimanded her with hatred: "How idle are you? You are really idle, whether it is to look at your own son or to help us take care of Yuan'er, can't you? Why do you have to take care of other people's children? Your own biological son, or the only blood and blood so far, are all supported by us! I don't see how diligent you are on weekdays! But you are so quick to raise other people's children! Who is your biological child who is conceived in October, ah?!"
Sheng Weiqiao was very embarrassed by what he said, and said: "Mother, I didn't mean that my nephews and nieces came over, so I threw all my energy on them! I didn't know how to take care of children, but I thought that my sister-in-law was not in good health now, and when I got married before, my sister-in-law treated me very well." She's sick now, don't I want to help her?"
Feng Shi said angrily: "You have to help people take care of their children, can't you send her some medicinal herbs, find a few doctors with medical skills, or send something to her children?!"
Without waiting for Sheng Weiqiao to explain, she slapped the table and said hatefully, "I kind of understand! This is because a group of us help you take care of Ruibin, and you don't know the trouble of taking care of children at all! Do you think that your nephews and nieces are here, you can just care about it? If it is your own child, it will be fine." Other people's children, if there is a fall in front of you, not to mention the feud, your favor will be in vain!"
"This kind of thankless thing, it's too late for people to hide!"
"You're still in a hurry to come over...... Why can't you learn from your father's shrewdness?!"
Sheng Lanci doted on her daughter more in the end, and when she heard this, she coughed dryly and said, "Drink dew, we have always been good-natured!"
"Then you can also see what is going on in her heart?!" Feng Shi said angrily, "The young couple has only been reunited for a few days since they got married?
"In order to unify the Communist Party, I haven't gotten along with my husband's relatives much, and I don't like my husband, I'm so confused, I don't know what to say about you?!"
Glancing at Sheng Lanci again, "What is this called? This is stupid!"
Sheng Lanci touched her nose and didn't dare to make a sound, but Sheng Weiqiao said weakly: "Mizhen agreed......"
"That's because he's used to you!!," Feng slammed the table hard and roared, "Ask yourself, if we had only come here yesterday, you would have seen a bunch of children of all sizes in this mansion, saying that they were orphans of soldiers from the Wuyi Battalion or the Jishan Battalion, and that their fathers died on the battlefield and their mothers were martyred, or that they had long since disappeared...... Mi Zhen looked distressed, and you would feel happy to take all the people to the house to raise them?"
“…… If there is such a situation, Mi Zhen is indeed not good to ignore, right?" Sheng Weiqiao said cautiously, seeing Feng Shi looking at him viciously, he hurriedly raised his hand and surrendered, "Mother, I know what you mean! I didn't do this well, I didn't discuss it with you two and Mi Zhen, so I told my sister-in-law about it!"
But at that time, I also saw that my sister-in-law was really haggard, and I wanted to give her something, so I told my sister-in-law casually...... In fact, my sister-in-law didn't agree on the spot, but only said that she wanted to discuss it with my mother-in-law or something!"
When Feng Shi heard this, he calmed down his anger a little and said, "Is it? Then it's best for her to see clearly the essence that you won't take a child at all, and don't worry about handing over the child to you!
Sheng Weiqiao: "......"
However, the ideas of the Feng family and Rong Sleeping Crane were in vain, because that afternoon, the Qi family sent someone over to say that they had decided to send Rong Lingzhan and Rong Lingzhen over and ask Sheng Weiqiao to help take care of them for a few days.
Sheng Weiqiao asked, "What about Lingsui and his little niece?"
The little niece is the youngest daughter of the Qi family who was born shortly after Sheng Weiqiao entered the door, because when Sheng Weiqiao landed, he had already gone to the Western Xinjiang with Rong Sleeping Crane, and he still didn't know the name and title of this niece.
The person who came said with a smile: "Xiao Wang Sun has always been attached to the county princess of Jian'an, and these days he is often taken over by the county princess to live, and the princess thinks that since she has the county monarch to take care of her, she will not bother the princess of the county! As for the little princess, she is still young now, and she is often noisy, and the princess is afraid of disturbing the princess of the county, so she stays in the palace and lets the two princesses of Guangchang and Yunyang take turns to take care of her, so she does not plan to send it over. ”
When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he thought of what Feng said, "See clearly the essence of you won't take children at all", a little embarrassed, but soon became strong and comforted herself: "Sister-in-law has always been considerate, she must be because she thinks that Lingsui and her little niece are too young and naughty, not as sensible as the older Lingzhan and Lingwei, for fear of disturbing us too much, so I didn't send it over!
After adjusting her mentality, she smiled and said to the visitor: "I've just started to clean up the house, since my sister-in-law has made a decision, let Lingzhan and Lingguan come over quickly! Speaking of which, I haven't seen them for a while, and I miss them in my heart." ”
The people in the palace went to reply, and the Jinli next to him reminded Sheng Weiqiao: "Niangniang, don't forget that we have made an appointment to visit Ningweihou's Mansion tomorrow!"
Xu Zijing and his wife have helped the Sheng family in the past two years, especially after King Gaomi was defeated in Chang'an, Rong Sleeping Crane, who came to Chang'an secretly, stayed for a short time, and left in a hurry because of Fu Zhen's personal expedition to the western frontier.
At that time, although he had confidants such as Dong Liang and Gongsun Xi left, these were all secret rooms, and his reputation was not obvious, and he did not have the ability and identity to coordinate the overall situation, nor did he have the prestige.
It was Xu Zijing who stood up for the sake of the friendship between the Sheng and Xu families, and firmly grasped the Gaomi King faction in his hands for Rong Sleeping Crane, and even sent Xu Baomo and his wife to Western Xinjiang to help Rong Sleeping Crane.
The World Exchange has done its best.
When King Gaomi sent people back to Chang'an, Xu Zijing and his wife naturally followed.
Now that the official has been reinstated, he is still Ning Weihou, and he is still in Ning Weihou's mansion...... Of course, the Hou Mansion, like the Mizhen County Mansion and the Sheng Mansion, has been affected and damaged to a certain extent.
They simply came back early, and the scale and luxury of the Hou Mansion were originally not as good as those of the palace and the county king's mansion, and now their children and elders are not around, and it took a while to clean up the main house, and it was almost the same.
However, the underlying industries, such as some granges in Gyeonggi, suffered greater losses.
These days, Xu Zijing is just patrolling and inspecting outside, and he has not been in Chang'an.
I rushed back after receiving the news that the Sheng family was coming, and I couldn't return until tomorrow morning...... Otherwise, according to the relationship between the Sheng family and the Xu family, especially Xu Zijing's help to Rong Mianhe this time, the Sheng family was invited away by Princess Gaomi on the first day of arrival, why would they go to Ningwei Hou's Mansion today.
At this moment, Jin Li reminded him, but he was afraid that Sheng Weiqiao would be thinking about helping his sister-in-law wholeheartedly, but don't forget the Xu family!
Sheng Weiqiao understood what the maid meant, nodded and said, "Don't worry!
After saying this, he finally remembered something, and patted his head, "By the way, how is the family of Yongyi Bofu?" They said that they came from the same boat, and after seeing Mizhen on the dock, they actually forgot about them!"
