“Old Sea Master Gongsun, who was keeping us good connection, failed in the war and died. His son has retreated to Daimao Island. Outside there are two Sea Masters seeing covetously, including Han and Pan; Inside there is a group of cunning underlings who are not loyal to him for his inferior age,” Sheng Lanci sighed, “The son of Old Sea Master sent his henchmen to island to sell the treasure accumulated by the ancestors during a long time on sea. That jade pendant was in the treasure.”
The name Sea Master was to address the leaders of the pirate respectfully.
Nanfeng County was next to the sea, surrounded by many islands where lived abundant pirates making a living by robbing the boat past. They robbed the people near the sea from time to time but could not be arrested by feudal officials more than once. The officials only set out the sea as a deterrent for the pirates every year.
But the emperor on the throne indulged himself in the lust and n
We would leave aside the bustle and stir in Sheng’s Mansion tonight first. The early next morning, all the people ranking below Old Madam Ming, including Sheng Lanxin who came back for a visit with her whole family, had dressed up and went outside of the gate in order to receive Senior Master and Young Lord Xu.Senior Master Sheng had got married twice, and he had three sons and two daughters in total. Among them, the oldest son Sheng Lanci’s birth mother was Madam Ai, his first wife. When giving birth, she suffered from dystocia, but Senior Master had happened to be absent, so the midwife had followed Madam Ai’s orders and had sacrificed the mother to save the son. Because of this, Sheng Lanci was born but Madam Ai died, which was why Old Senior thought he owed Madam Ai a lot and he had been partial to the eldest branch all the time.Fortunately, his second wife Old Madam Ming wasn’t a narrow-minded person. Even if she had given birth to two sons and two d
For god’s sake, Old Madam asked this completely out of her concern for the guest and the consideration of the relationship between Xu Family and Sheng Family.But the words somehow offended Senior Master Sheng. Senior Master was extending his arms to let Old Madam Ming fasten the clothes band for him, and hearing the words, his countenance turned gloomy and groaned, “You’re a woman. What’s the meaning of inquiring so much?!”“Wasn’t I afraid that we weren’t thoughtful enough for that child?” Old Madam Ming found the blame unjust. Because she was the second wife, naturally she was inferior to the first wife. Especially that the first wife died of giving birth to a child for Sheng Family, which made Senior Master Sheng guilty until then, moreover, Sheng Lanci alone was even more competent than all the four children she had given birth to, so she knew that she had no power and never dared to go against Senior Master Sheng.However, though Senor Ma
When Sheng Weiqiao and her cousin arrived, Sheng Shuihe and Xu Baomo were watching the servant packing up the chess and getting ready to leave.Sheng Shuihe and Xu Baomo were shocked when they saw Sheng Weiqiao making a beeline for them angrily.“Sh*t, sister will find out I lied to her!” Luckily, Sheng Shuihe had a quick reaction, and he quickly saluted to Xu Baomo, saying regretfully, “Brother Xu, there is something perhaps you don’t know. Two days ago, I beat a playboy, who said something nasty to my sister and her mother on the street. After that, my sister has been going on about this for many days! This time, she would not let it go when she saw me. So, later, if my sister said anything rude, hope brother could forgive her!”After hearing what he said, Xu Baomo quickly replied, “Our families have been old friends for two generations, so there is no need to be so overcautious! Besides, it is actually quite enviable that sister cares about
When two siblings went back, they didn’t see Shen Jiuniang talking to Xu Baomo. Well, because he had already gone.But Shen Jiuniang was still standing there, reluctantly seeing his back off.Well, even a blind person could feel the sense of infatuation and intoxication through her eyes. Sheng Shuihe showed a faint smile when she looked at the expression of Sheng Weiqiao. First, she frowned, and then she pouted. When she realized that his eyes were on her, she glared at him angrily and shouted, “What?!”“Big Weiqiao?” Sheng Shuihe hadn’t answer yet, Shen Jiuniang was already shocked by the voice. She was flustered. She turned around, making her gourd-shaped earrings shook violently, and her red cheek became even redder as blood. “When, when did you guys come back?”“Good to see you, Cousin Shen!” Sheng Weiqiao was going to say something, but Sheng Shuihe took the chance to speak first, and he smiled, “We were just playing around, y
Sheng Weiqiao was completely unaware that Xu Baomo had come for her, and she comforted Shen Jiuniang, “Anyway, Brother Xu will stay for a few days. You have mentioned that you want to study painting from my mother. After grandfather’s birthday, you can live with us for some days instead of going with my aunt. Maybe, there will be a turn.”“He must think me tiresome now. Will he tell my grandfather what happened between us?” Shen Jiuniang said with enthusiasm and worries, “If so, grandfather will not allow me to stay here!”In addition to the partiality for the eldest branch, Senior Master Sheng treated juniors including his sons and daughters in a normal manner, without excoriating or spoiling.As his granddaughter, Shen Jiuniang visited the Sheng Family only on some special occasions such as some festivals. There were fewer chances for her to contact with her grandfather. As a result, she felt scared rather than close when facing him.
Old Madam Ming was not the biological mother of Sheng Lanci, and she behaved obediently facing Senior Master Sheng, but the couple still paid much respect to their stepmother.Since it was the Old Madam’s invitation, Madam Feng was in no mood to talk more to change her daughter’s view now. She replied instantly, “I’ll go immediately after changing my clothes!”As she walked behind a screen to change clothes, she asked Xiquan, “Did you know what happened to the second branch?”“It was said that the mistress of the Second Master came to give vent to her dissatisfaction with much noise. Second Madam was furious and was now asking for a divorce in front of Senior Master and Old Madam,” Xiquan said with a sigh, “After knowing this, the Senior Master called the Second Master over to beat him to death. Old Madam feared that Senior Master lost control of the force of beating in fury. And Eldest Master was asked out just now, so she had no choice but to
The Senior Master Sheng thumped on the table and roared, “He’s supposed to take the consequences. If he can’t handle it, his whole branch will be thrown out!!!”After that, he was about to leave with a livid face. When passing by Sheng Lansi, he couldn’t help kicking him to the ground, and he cursed, “Because your first sister-in-law helped you out, I’ll spare you today! If you do that one more time, I won’t say anything to you and will drive your branch out of the family directly. We’ll see without your brother’s support to your branch, what else can you take to fend for a mistress!”Then he left in anger.At the place of honor, Old Madam Ming stayed still with a pale face. How could she ignore that she was the real target of Senior Master Sheng’s words?“Mother, I just came back and there are still things left in the yard waiting to be arranged. If you don’t mind, may I?” Having witnessed the scene, Madam Feng didn’t intend to st
Obviously, Sheng Weiwu had run all the way here from the third branch for there was considerable dew on her chignon and dress.Before she finished, the two maids looking after her had chased into the room, made a hurried greeting to Sheng Weiqiao and stepped forward to drag her back, “Seventh Miss! Seventh Miss! It’s the Senior Master’s birthday today! I beg you, don’t be imprudent. What if you miss the time to kowtow to Senior Master?!”“Don’t worry, Second Sister! You’ll see how I take revenge for you today!” Sheng Weiwu was doing her best to struggle, but she was only seven, while the two maids were fourteen or fifteen, so certainly she was no match for them. Being dragged away, she earnestly assured, “Second Sister, you’ll see how the son of a mistress is going to be chucked out!”Hearing that, Sheng Weiqiao was deeply moved, and then she unhesitatingly helped the two maids to prize away from her cousin’s fingers from the door, “Dear, it’s
Shu Zhaoyi lost her soul and returned to the Xuanjing Emperor placed outside the bedchamber, and was about to go in to see how the Xuanjing Emperor slept ... After she came back with the Xuanjing Emperor, because she was anxious to go to interrogate Meng Guiyu alone, she excused herself to drink wine to drown her sorrows, and left the Xuanjing Emperor after she got him drunk.This moment back can not help but go in to see, who knows just to the door to see the two chamberlains eyes and nose guarding.Seeing Zhaoyi come over, their faces all changed, and they bowed tremblingly, saying, "Long live the Empress!""There are people inside?" Shu Zhaoyi asked with a raised eyebrow when she saw that despite their respectful attitude, they never had the intention to give way.The two chamberlains looked at each other, with trepidation in their eyes, knowing that the Shu sisters were in great favor and neither were good-tempered.Especially at this moment, the ne
Shu Zhaoyi's expression was harsh, but Meng Guiyu's face was calm, and he said in a deep voice, "Back to Lady Zhaoyi, I really didn't know about Your Highness's suffering at all!"He glanced at Shu Guifei's remains on the door panel not far away, "As for why His Majesty and Lady Zhaoyi found that Lady Guifei was missing, they issued an imperial edict for the forbidden army to search everywhere, and in the end, it was me who sent Lady Guifei to His Majesty as well as to Lady Zhaoyi.... Ma'am, I reported up before that Lady Guifei wasn't personally found by me, but was reported up after his men found it. personally found, but rather after my men found it and reported it up, I went to see it!""After all, I have been favored by the two empresses and have joined the forbidden army as the Grand Commander of the forbidden army. When the forbidden army discovers a clue, it is natural to report it to me first, and then I will convey it to His Majesty and you, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!" Meng Gui Yu's expression was somber, his eyes were also red, stepped forward and cupped his fists and said, "After I learned that Your Highness and her attendants had disappeared, I couldn't believe that Your Highness had been in an accident! However, the Queen Consort lived in the Qiongxue Palace and the left side of the inch by inch search down, the Committee did not see any silhouettes, can only be dispersed towards the distance. At this time to listen to the water division side of the report, said the spring wave lake floated up ... floated up a number of people, all for the palace attire, the leader of the even more expensive clothes extraordinary, I ... ministers eleven million hope that it is a mistake!""But the minister to the lake, personally saw this body pomegranate red dress shirt ... I remember, two days ago also see your concubine through ...""This must be which bitchy servant girl, stole this palace sister's robe!!!" Shu Zhao Yi covered
The sky was overcast as if it were night before the rain poured down.In the back room of the assassin's residence, the doors and windows were closed, and it was too dim to see the outlines of things.Yi Liu dressed in Xuan Shirt strong clothing, full head of green silk also with the same color of the handkerchief tightly wrapped up, foot soft sole light boots, quietly stepped over the scarlet ground tangled branches of lotus pattern unicorn play beads rug.The short sword in his hand was coated in black paint, dark and heavy that would not emit any reflections, best suited for the immediate environment.She narrowed her eyes slightly so as not to let the luster between the flow of her bright eyes be detected by her opponent.The thunder outside the house had been raging for a long time, and her confrontation with her opponent had lasted even longer.She's in no hurry.In addition to the fact that this was the Assassin's Palace, the home bas
Rong Sleeping Crane was busy smiling and greeted her, "Auntie! I disturbed you last night, are you resting well now?"Xuan Yu Feng first looked him up and down, saw his gray head and face, and his clothes were dirty, then said in a pleasant manner, "I am an idle person anyway, it is nothing to make a mess once in a while, but it is you ... how did you get this? How to make such a mess? I just saw with you a piece of over the guards, are good, thought you also safe and sound it!"Let's just say that he, "Auntie knows that this child of yours is both literate and skilled in martial arts. But the so-called not in his position does not seek his own politics, you now is not to the district Gongsun clan to sell their lives of the Wuyi camp leader, but the king of the big Mu County, is the husband of Qiao Er, lemonade father of the king! If it is because of the first to fight, there are any shortcomings, you call Qiao'er mother and son in the future how to do?""What's mo
"..." Rong Sleeping Crane froze and said, "Good girl, although Meng Boqin is gone, the Northern Border may not be peaceful ah! And you also know that I secretly came from the Western Border this time, so after settling your mother and son, I will talk to uncle for a few more days, and also have to hurry to return to the Western Border."Sheng Weiqiao said, "You have urgent matters, you go to the western border first! I'll go over slowly with lemonade, at most it's just a few more days of traveling."She frowned slightly, ''Before I left from the Western Frontier in such a hurry, the things I lost down were just that, Geun Li, Ju Li those people, and the twelve niang and whatnot ... I'm telling you, if it wasn't for the fact that you were in the way of Meng Boqin before, and you said that it was safest to take the sea route to leave, I would have wanted to go to the Western Frontier to witness it no matter what. I'd like to go to the western border to see them before I fe
"Think of the good in things!" The plan to use Zhao Shi as a front failed, Rong Yuhe could only go alone to face his wife's doubts, he was on his way to comfort himself, "I can't say that my daughter is worried and scared alone in the camp, and she is satisfied to see that I am well past it. Why is it that things are happening differently from what she told me before, and she's not in the mood to get to the bottom of it, so I'll be able to get by with a few perfunctory sentences?"With that thought he looked down at his neat as new robes, pondered for a moment, and decisively halted his mount!The left and right guards were instantly aghast, taking off the bow hanging on the saddle and nocking arrows from the arrow pot at their waist while asking in a low voice, "County King?""... "Rong Sleeping Crane looked at them as if they were enemies, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said, "It's nothing. Well, you guys stay here, lone go to the side forest for a bit!"
The green-clothed boy heard, a face of "difficult to say" expression, once again look at Zhao Shi, mouth vaguely said, "I do not know how to say ... anyway... several stewards feel very difficult to make a judgment. ...Several stewards feel that it's very tricky and can't make a judgment, so I can only ask the County King to personally decide!"Seeing this situation, Zhao Shi raised an eyebrow and said to Rong Sleeping Crane, "I'm about to go out to see how things are going underneath, you guys talk over here!"Just take the old maid and go.The room is left with Rong Sleeping Crane and the boy, that boy immediately swept away the calm in front of Zhao Shi's master and servant, said in a tone of excitement mixed with inexplicable excitement, "County King! To tell you the truth, you may not believe it: brother Ah Xi, he ... actually slept with the Empress!!!"Yung Sleeping Crane, who has taken a hundred and twenty-thousand percent care and is ready to receive
Zhao Shi sniffed, froze for a good while, before asking with doubts, "You ... you send all the horses of your Western Frontier elite cavalry over? Then what about the direct line that you single-handedly trained?"Not waiting for Rong Sleeping Crane to answer, he shook his head again, "Not right! You kid has always been treacherous, not taking advantage of others would be good, how could you do something so self-sacrificing?!"Mind electric turn, suddenly eyes bright, breathing are a little short of breath, eagerly asked, "I remember you promised Deng Chen Liyu to help him raise his son and grandson ...?""I'm not as old as his grandson, what do you mean by helping him raise his son and grandson?" Rong Sleeping Crane cried and laughed, "It's just a promise to shelter a few of his heirs."Zhao suitable toward him leaned his body, attentive to ask, "The previous dynasty has the emperor Na Ru Ru princess as a consort, when Ru Ru accompanied by 10,000 horses, tha
