Chapter 21: A Trip to Zhao's Mansion
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know about the little brother's calculations.
I laughed it off when I knew it.
She was willing to take the initiative to help Qi take care of the child, although she was kind, but it was also a matter of looking at people.
If it was replaced by the county lord of Qingfang, Sheng Weiqiao would definitely not say this.
And the Qi family is well-known for disciplining children, and the performance of her children on her knees also proves this rumor, so Sheng Weiqiao is not very worried that Rong Lingzhan and Rong Lingzhan brothers will mess around during their time in the Mizhen County Palace.
This kind of educated sensible child has this big point, and before talking and doing things, he has to think about the consequences.
It's not that the Gaomi Royal Mansion can afford to provoke the Mizhen County Palace, otherwise they wouldn't dare to mess around even if they had a grudge against Rong Sleeping Crane and his wife in their hearts.
The next day was the day when I made an appointment to visit Zhao's Mansion.
When Sheng Weiqiao got up early to make up, he asked Brother Rong Lingzhan if he wanted to go over together?
But the next person came over to reply after a while, saying that Rong Lingzhan and Rong Lingzhan had already gotten up and were studying books, because they moved from the palace yesterday, they had delayed their homework for a day, and now they are trying to make up for it.
"These two children are hard-working, but when Wang Ruibin grows up, it will be good to be so sensible and well-behaved." Sheng Weiqiao smiled when he heard this, "Then don't disturb them...... Ask the small kitchen to cook something delicious and make up for it, so as not to study too hard and hurt your body. ”
He groaned again, "By the way, has their husband ever come?" ”
"Doesn't seem to have one?" Jin Li said, "Niangniang, do you want to send someone to ask the wife of the world?" ”
"Go ahead and ask." Sheng Weiqiao looked at the mirror and nodded, "If it is inconvenient for that gentleman to come here, you can ask the sister-in-law if we ask the two nephews for a gentleman's guidance, or will we arrange the yard after the sister-in-law invites us?" ”
After such a little episode, she freshened up and had breakfast...... Well, although she tried to get up early, it was still not too early for breakfast, so she sent someone to ask Gongsun Xi.
Gongsun Xi got up a long time ago, not only got up, but also punched twice!
Sheng Weiqiao said that he could go out, of course he got up and left.
Uncle and sister-in-law arrived at Zhao's Mansion together, and they opened the middle door to greet them.
Since the two families are relatives, Mrs. Qin, Zhao Shi and Zhao Yu are all elders, and at this time, Zhao Shan, the son of the Zhao family, and the eldest daughter-in-law, Li, will join forces to welcome them.
The two sides exchanged a few words under the weeping flower gate, Sheng Weiqiao explained that Rong Mianhe was too busy with government affairs to come in person, and only let himself bring Gongsun Xi, a righteous brother who was recognized, to recognize the door, Zhao Shan and Li both expressed their understanding, said a few words, and invited them to enter to serve tea: "The old lady heard about this yesterday, and she was very happy, and said that the third cousin was out of exile before, lonely, I really feel sad when I think about it!" Now that I recognize this righteous brother, it can be seen that I have helpers and dependents outside over the years, and I feel somewhat comforted. ”
He also said, "If my brother and sister don't bring my brother over today, the old lady will definitely send someone to ask in two days." ”
Sheng Weiqiao smiled and said, "Grandmother Lao is worried. ”
But there was indifference in my heart.
When she arrived at the main hall between speaking, Old Madam Qin changed into a newly made skirt and waited on it with a smile.
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao and Gongsun Xi coming in, he just smiled, and shouted without waiting for them to salute, and said Sheng Weiqiao first: "Look at the weight loss, I think I just rushed a long way?" Next, I have to let Midnight make up for you! ”
Let's talk about Gongsun Xi, "This kid looks really good, and he looks like we He'er are brothers." ”
Mrs. Qin's official family was born, and her husband's Zhao family was a big Mu hairpin, and she belonged to the kind that rolled in the noble circle from the time she landed.
She is used to showing an amiable image, and she intends to make up for her relationship with Sheng Weiqiao at this time, and her words are particularly beautiful.
Although Sheng Weiqiao was full of boredom with her, she was coaxed by her left and right words at this time, and her originally pale face showed a little smile, and said: "Ah Xi is not only like a brother with Mizhen, but the friendship has long been like brothers. Isn't this when we were in the north before, we were thinking about deciding on this position? It's just that at that time, I didn't care about the chaos of the army, and I didn't even care about it, and it was only now that I got it done. I'm afraid that my grandmother will worry about it, so I'll bring it to you right away! ”
Old Madam Qin said yes in a loud voice, and asked Gongsun Xi about the specific situation very kindly.
But Gongsun Xi doesn't like to talk in the first place, and he is especially indifferent to people, and before coming this time, he was privately told by Rong Sleeping Crane that he didn't plan to really marry the Zhao family, so his attitude was very cold.
He is not like Sheng Weiqiao, he is not easy to lose face if he moves the real fire, since Rong Sleeping Crane said, coming to the Zhao family today is to go through the motions, in order to fulfill the promise to Zhao Shi, it is best to make the Zhao family look down on him, then he will be indifferent to the end, and when he has to speak, he is all hard and quarrelling.
So much so that Old Madam Qin, a person with such witty words, was dumbfounded several times.
After Sheng Weiqiao rounded the field a few times, he was embarrassed and not very easy to speak.
At this time, Zhao Shan stood up to relieve the siege, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, brother and sister, brother Axi just came to our house, you daughters talk, why don't I take him around?" ”
Old Madam Qin hurriedly agreed, and Sheng Weiqiao was also the head of the chin.
After Gongsun Xi was taken away by Zhao Shan, the Li family also left under the eyes of the old lady Qin, and the old lady asked Sheng Weiqiao with a pleasant face at this time: "Kang Zhao, why do I think, Ah Xi doesn't seem to like our family very much?" ”
"Grandmother, you misunderstood, that's his temper." Sheng Weiqiao pretended to be comforted, "When I only met him before, I was angry with him twice in three days!" It's not that Mi Zhen hasn't said him, but the nature of the country is easy to change! And he grew up with Mizhen, and when he was a younger brother, he looked at it as if he was a brother, isn't it okay to say that it's heavy? ”
Old Madam Qin actually knew in her heart that eighty percent of it was the Sheng family who was the obstruction.
Because of Gongsun Xi's relationship with Zhao Taocheng, she objected at first, because she also hoped that Zhao Taocheng would make Rong Sleepy Crane a concubine or something in the future.
But after the defeat of the Northern Xinjiang Army this time, Zhao Shi took the time to come back to Chang'an to report on his work, and took the opportunity to talk to her about the matter in person, and carefully analyzed that instead of delaying Zhao Taocheng's flowering period and gambling on the ethereal future, it is better to let Zhao Taocheng marry Rong Sleeping Crane's henchmen, which can also play the role of marriage.
As for the relationship between Sleeping Crane and Sheng Weiqiao now, as well as the fuel-saving family behind Sheng Weiqiao, even if the Zhao family succeeds, eighty percent will be in endless trouble!
It's better to take a step back and broaden the sky, and use the opportunity to get the moon first near the water, and the idea of beating Rong Ruibin!
Although Old Madam Qin has always been strong in the Zhao family, and often oppresses her youngest son Zhao Shi to have nothing to say and can only obey orders, she still attaches great importance to the opinions of her eldest son Zhao Shi.
When I heard this, I still felt sorry, but I reluctantly agreed.
Who would have thought that Gongsun Xi had this attitude now, and Mrs. Qin didn't like it in her heart.
The old lady didn't feel much guilt about trying to rob and murder Sheng Weiqiao earlier, after all, this matter was started by Mrs. Sheng.
People who are grandfathers don't feel sorry for their granddaughters anymore, what's wrong with her taking the opportunity to pick a bargain?
If you want to blame, you can only blame Sheng Weiqiao for having such a grandfather!
Of course, Old Madam Qin also knew that before Sheng Weiqiao fell out of favor with Rong Sleeping Crane, it was better not to offend this person.
At this moment, he sighed secretly and said, "Really? The kid was indeed very reticent to see. ”
I had a hunch that this blind date would inevitably fail, and Mrs. Qin didn't care about Gongsun Xi, but asked Rong Ruibin about the situation carefully.
Sheng Weiqiao was vigilant when she heard this, after all, this so-called grandmother had the idea of killing her and letting Zhao Taocheng replace her, who knows if Rong Ruibin would also be regarded as a stumbling block for the Zhao family's queen?
She said lukewarmly: "I don't know much about Ruibin's situation, after all, from the moment he landed, others probably took care of me." At most, my mother only occasionally hugged him when she was free...... Otherwise, the mother concubine would not have said that she was not worried about me raising him. Fortunately, I have a lot of elders, and it was my father and mother who helped me before, but now my uncle and aunt are watching me, so I don't need to worry about it. ”
Old Madam Qin really didn't mean to target Rong Ruibin this time.
She is not stupid, not to mention that Rong Sleeping Crane has such a bone and blood under her knees, she must love very much, let's just say that from a political point of view, Rong Sleeping Crane is young, how much benefit does Rong Ruibin's birth bring him?
At this time, if the Zhao family murdered Rong Ruibin, let alone Rong Sleeping Crane, Rong Sleeping Crane's subordinates would not be able to spare the Zhao family!
Old Madam Qin was not arrogant enough to think that the Zhao family could offend so many people.
But she did it out of pure concern.
It's just that Sheng Weiqiao didn't appreciate it at all, and the old lady who said this frequently frowned: "What? You are the child's mother, how can you be so distracted? This child, no matter how much help there is, how can it compare with the care of his mother? ”
Sheng Weiqiao smiled and said, "Grandmother, don't worry!" The elders who helped me take care of the children were all from the past, and I don't know how much better than the ones I took care of myself. Besides, Ruibin is still young at this time, how does he know if it is his own mother who takes care of him? ”
Old Madam Qin was speechless by these words, if it was her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, she would have had a seizure, but she was helpless to be a granddaughter-in-law, or a granddaughter-in-law who had nothing to fear, she could only resist the urge to set rules for Sheng Wei Qiao, and said a few words without smiling and it would have passed.
Because of the great disappointment and dissatisfaction with Sheng Weiqiao, although the Zhao Mansion left Sheng Weiqiao and Gongsun Xi to have a luncheon on this day, the old lady Qin left the table on the pretext of being unwell not long after she appeared.
The current situation of the Zhao family is like this: Zhao Shi came and went in a hurry before, and now he is still in the Northern Xinjiang Army; After Zhao Xuan was reinstated, he was also in Yamen at this time.
The second lady Ji seemed to have something going on at her mother's house during this time, so after asking Mrs. Qin, she went back to live for the time being.
Now the people in charge of the overall situation in the house are Zhao Shan and his wife.
After Old Madam Qin left, they came to the master's side.
Zhao Shan pulled Gongsun Xi to talk and drink without mentioning it, and after a polite greeting with Sheng Weiqiao for a while, he passed three rounds with wine, and when the atmosphere in the sound of silk and bamboo was right, he whispered: "Brother and sister, how is the county lord of Fuchang now?" ”
