Chapter Twenty-Seven: Coming to the Door
Emperor Xuanjing didn't give a definite answer in the end, and after a few vague words, he praised Rong Sleeping Crane again, and also mentioned two sentences of Sheng Weiqiao, saying something I hope they will grow old in the future, and after appreciating things with the Shu sisters, they left.
He left with his front foot, and Queen Meng was late with his back foot.
The queen had a white face and looked very uncomfortable, and as soon as she entered the hall, she knelt down and asked the queen mother to plead guilty: "My daughter-in-law has been feeling a little unwell in the past two days, so I rushed over late, and I asked the queen mother to punish her!" ”
Originally, Empress Dowager Meng was a little angry when she saw that Queen Meng had not arrived.
If the queen wasn't here just now, she wouldn't have been able to go into battle herself, let alone be squeezed by the Shu sisters because of her weak strength.
Even if Emperor Xuanjing didn't make a statement on the spot, the Queen Mother didn't dare to imagine what kind of consequences would be caused if she couldn't stop the succession on the spot?
But after all, it was a niece, and when she saw Queen Meng's face at this time, she was taken aback, and she was going to beat Rong Sleeping Crane and Sheng Weiqiao, but she didn't have the heart, so she waved her hand casually and asked them to retire...... Of course, the right to stay for dinner just now was also forgotten, and without waiting for the sleeping crane couple to completely walk out of the palace gate, he pulled the queen to ask long and short questions, and said with concern: "Why don't you pass on the imperial doctor if you are not feeling well?" ”
"The daughter-in-law thinks that if the imperial doctor is passed on, the queen mother, you will know that these days, you are already worried enough, how can you still worry about your daughter-in-law anymore?" Empress Meng said thoughtfully, "It's not a big deal anyway......"
The next words, because I have already walked away, I can't hear clearly.
Sheng Weiqiao was worried, and couldn't help but ask the palace people who led the way: "Is the queen mother sick?" What is the disease? ”
"Slaves and maids have always served in Xinshou Palace." But the palace people shook their heads and said they didn't know, "I don't know what the queen's phoenix body is." ”
"Don't worry, since the queen mother can still come to Xinshou Palace to explain to the queen mother in person, it is obviously no big problem, otherwise she would have been bedridden a long time ago, right?" Seeing this, Rong Sleeping Crane made a look and comforted softly, "It is estimated that it is just a small illness, just lie down for a few days." ”
Sheng Weiqiao understood what he meant, and it was time to find someone to inquire with the Shu sisters, and he was a little settled.
When they left the palace, Yuan Liuguang and his wife were following the instructions of Princess Gaomi, and took Yuan Donglai, whose cheeks were swollen from high, to plead guilty in the Sheng Mansion.
According to the ideas of the county lord of Qingfang and Princess Gaomi, no matter how much the Sheng family spoiled Sheng Weiqiao, seeing that Yuan Donglai, who was only eight years old, was beaten like this, he had to take care of it after all, right?
However, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law underestimated the degree of eccentricity of the twenty-four filial fathers, Sheng Lanci inexplicably welcomed the three members of the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion into the main hall to speak, and thought that the Yuan family brought a little girl with a wound on the face to find out what they were doing, only to hear Yuan Streamer talk about the beginning, and suddenly changed his face: "Then is there anything wrong with my family?" Is it hot?! ”
Yuan Liuguang hurriedly said: "The third brother and sister Jiren have their own natural appearance, and they are safe and sound. ”
"Are you sure it's okay?!" Sheng Lanci took a deep breath and looked at him with heavy eyes, "Is there still something but it was hidden?!" ”
The county lord of Qingfang, who was waiting for him to compensate for his daughter, was laughed angrily: "We just came over at the palace, and the third brother and sister have a good tea, what else can this do?" ”
"Since you can raise a little thing that kills relatives and rebelliously at a young age, can't you do the thing of forcing my family to serve tea with injuries?!" However, Sheng Lanci's cold gaze swept over, and he said hesitantly, "Besides, even if my family didn't get burned at that time, I would definitely be frightened...... Forget it, I don't have the heart to talk to you right now, I need to go to the Mizhen County Mansion immediately and see for myself how that kid is doing? ”
Before the lord of Qingfang came out of the cabinet, although because Princess Gaomi was not in good health, she missed Rong Sleeping Crane who was wandering outside, and she was not used to being a baby, but as the daughter of King Gaomi and his wife, she was still the eldest daughter, and she was also grown up by a group of people.
She came from a wealthy background, and she has seen countless pearls and delicate girls since she was a child, and she thinks she is a knowledgeable person, and she can't help but feel eye-opening at this moment, and she forgot to care about Sheng Lanci saying that her daughter was "ruthless and rebellious", and she ate: "The newlyweds only returned to the door in three days......
"My good girl suffered such a big crime just after passing the door, and I still have the kung fu to take care of those customs?!" Sheng Lanci's face was pale, and he didn't bother to greet them, so he stood up directly and walked out, commanding as he went, "Prepare the horse, ask for the fastest one!" ”
I really had to rush over immediately to confirm my daughter's safety!
"Master Shan!" Although the county lord of Qingfang was stunned by this situation, the ignorant Yuan Donglai was afraid to make a sound by the murderous aura he was all over at the moment, but Yuan Liuguang's eyes flashed, but he sat still still, and after taking a sip of tea, he said slowly, "As a father, the mood of the adults at the moment, the younger generation thinks that he still knows a little. Because of this, should this matter be considered in the long run? ”
Sheng Lanci stood behind the threshold and waited for the next person to prepare the horse, and when he heard the words, he turned his head and glanced at him, and said with a sneer: "Ling Ai is just to blame, the virtuous couple still came to the door in such a hurry, under the guise of making amends, and asked my Sheng family to give an explanation, why is my Sheng family going to give you an explanation now, but you are talking about empathy?" ”
The county lord of Qingfang didn't understand what he meant, and frowned when he heard this: "The little girl is wrong, but can't the third brother and sister do too much?" You keep saying what to say to us, but from beginning to end, in addition to protecting your three brothers and sisters, what kind of explanation have you given?! ”
"My Sheng family's ancestral home is Nanfeng County, to be honest, I never thought about letting the good girl marry Chang'an earlier." Sheng Lanci didn't even look at her, and said to Yuan Liuguang to herself, "But it's just like when my father-in-law and mother-in-law came to our mansion to propose marriage, my aunt said, I have always been the pearl of my three families in Nanfeng County, not that she is out of the pavilion!" ”
"This matter is purely because we have no way to teach our daughter, we don't blame the third brother and sister, let alone the third brother." Yuan Liuguang nodded calmly, and gave his wife an indifferent look as a warning, and said gently, "But my lord, please think about it, after all, the county lord is the sister of the third brother, even if the third brother comes back not long ago, there is still a gap between him and his blood relatives, but after all, blood is thicker than water." As the saying goes, you don't see when you look up...... A good son-in-law like the third brother is not said to be able to meet every day, otherwise even if an adult spoils his daughter, he will never allow marriage, right? ”
Sheng Lanci narrowed her eyes and looked at him for a long time before she said lightly: "You are an understanding person, although I don't know if you think so in your heart, or if you just talk about it, but in response to your words, I will tell you a few more words!" ”
As he spoke, he walked back to his original position and sat down, his cold gaze turned on Yuan Donglai's body before he retracted it, and continued without any expression, "The three of us have always been in the south, and the people on the side are far away from Chang'an, so it is inevitable that the etiquette is not good, please don't be surprised!" ”
Yuan Liuguang nodded calmly: "In the name of my father, there will definitely be no next time in this matter!" ”
"Please!" Sheng Lan didn't say anything more, took a sip of tea, and made a gesture to send off the guest directly.
…… After leaving the Sheng Mansion, the county lord of Qingfang asked her husband in a daze, "What did you mean by what you just told him?" ”
"What do you mean?" Yuan Liuguang glanced at her coldly and sneered, "Concubine Fang Cai said that we should bring Dong Lai over to make amends, I said that it was best not to do this, if you don't listen, you have to come!" After coming, I have to fight with Sheng Xinzhang...... You don't want to think about the marriage of the third brother and sister, and it doesn't show how much attention she receives in her mother's family?! As a result, on the day the third brother and sister came out of the cabinet, something like this happened in the new house, and you are the third brother and sister's mother's family, will you give in at this time?! ”
Qingfangjun advocated opening his mouth, but in the end he was speechless: Indeed, before Sheng Weiqiao left the cabinet, King Gaomi came to the door in person and repeatedly assured that he was murdered by the younger generations of her husband's family on the day she left the cabinet.
She was a little annoyed by her omissions, but from the perspective of Yuan Donglai's biological mother, she was inevitably resentful: "I really don't know where the Sheng family got such confidence, so accustomed to the third brother and sister, and I'm not afraid that the third brother will one day not be able to stand the temper of the third brother and sister?" ”
"What are they afraid of?" Hearing this, Yuan Liuguang sneered, "You didn't understand the meaning of Sheng Xinzhang's words? Behind the three brothers and sisters is not just a Sheng family, but the three powerful families of Nanfeng County, to exaggerate it, it is the entire Nanfeng County! ”
"In the minds of the nobles of Chang'an, the third brother and sister may just be a rich daughter from a small place, and they were lucky enough to get mixed up with the county lord and become the princess of the county!"
"But in Nanfeng County, as long as the three powerful families are there, she is the most favored and unprovoked pearl in the palm of her hand!"
"It was, it is, and it will be...... If there is a gap between the third brother and the third brother and sister, the three powerful families will not sit idly by! ”
"Not only will they not sit idly by, but they are far away from Chang'an, they are not in awe of the imperial court, and they are not gentlemen in their ways!"
"It's okay if you're not a gentleman, the key is that they have silver!"
Yuan Liuguang said indifferently, "People die for money, birds die for food, do you think that with the three powerful families of Nanfeng County to give the three brothers and sisters a dowry, they want to buy it. Bad. Kill. The word of the man...... What kind of outlaws can't buy? ”
He smiled sarcastically, "Even the close attendants around us may be tempted by their silver reward when the time comes!" ”
He also said, "If I hadn't hinted at Sheng Xinzhang, after this matter became big, although Dong Lai would have been accused of murdering his relatives at a young age, the third brother and sister slapped a child of her size for the maid, and it would be difficult for everyone to talk about it, and there are very few wishful husbands like the third brother, it is really a big trouble, in case the couple is left behind, it is not a good thing for the third brother and sister, Sheng Xinzhang took a step back for his daughter's consideration...... Do you think I just called him? ”
"Do you think that if he really went to the Junwang Mansion today, he would have given up after confirming the well-being of his third brother and sister?"
"Let me tell you, he will ask the third brother why he didn't protect the third brother and sister, and he will go to the palace to find his father-in-law again to ask for an explanation!"
"After all, my father-in-law promised him that he would treat the third brother and sister as his own!"
"Think about it yourself, if you really toss it like this, what good is it except for the family to be laughed at by the Meng family?!"
"Dong Lai just took an ear scraper, these two days look scary, and it will return to normal after a few days, how is it better than the maid who knew if there would be a scar that day!"
"And it can give her a long memory...... You can't be smarter, bow your head, apologize with kind words, and get the sincere forgiveness of the three brothers and sisters, so it not only shows that our family is generous and tolerant, but also indirectly saves the impression of Dong Lai, even if this matter leaks out afterwards, people know that after Dong Lai was beaten, we not only took the initiative to apologize, but also took all the blame from beginning to end. ”
"You don't understand such a simple principle as retreating to advance, and you dare to mix your two minds into the affairs of your younger brother who has more thoughts than the other?!"
The county lord of Qingfang was stunned for a long time before he said bitterly: "Since you plan to retreat as advance, instead of not feeling sorry for Dong Lai at all, why don't you tell me?" I don't know what you're thinking, so naturally I want to feel sorry for my daughter! ”
Yuan Liuguang didn't answer this, but said indifferently: "So you saw it today?" A third brother is no longer easy to mess with, and the third brother and sister at this time are also pampered, and her mother's family blindly protects her...... That Rong Qingdrunk and the county lord of Huihe have neither saved your life, nor have they raised you, you have to live a good life in your own house, but you have to drag your children and daughters to be guns for them...... If you look like this again, I'm afraid I can only admit a few concubines to the door and find something for you to do! ”
The county lord of Qingfang couldn't help but reddened his eyes: "You shouldn't have taken a good look at people and make excuses for this, right?" ”
"You're doing it yourself!" Yuan Liuguang didn't answer this question directly, and said lightly, "Later, I will send you and Dong Lai back to the house first, and I will go to the county king's mansion to explain to the third brother and the third brother and sister." ”
Half an hour later, Yuan Liuguang arrived at the palace of Mizhen County alone.
He entered the door smoothly, but after being led to the flower hall to serve tea, a steward came up and apologized and asked him to wait for a while, because the prince and his wife had just replied from the palace that they were having dinner at this time.
As soon as Yuan Liuguang heard it, he knew that there was probably a turmoil in the palace, so he asked the steward.
After listening to the steward's brief explanation, he frowned.
