"You are the one who couldn't wait to marry a girl from one of those prestigious families!" Flushed with shame, Sheng Weiqiao stroke the table furiously and said, "Besides, I want to feel what it's like to become the sister of the very best scholar. However, you haven't even taken the exam of imperial examination. It's only two of us here, and it's okay for you to brag about yourself. If this were to be heard by others, it would make them laugh their teeth off. If you really want to be the scholar with the highest scores and make our family proud of you, you should waste no time and read your books!"
Having said that, she stood up and threw a book from the pile of books on the long table carved with golden patterns, "Read it. Don't slack off in your studies!"
Then she left angrily.
After that, she never visited Sheng Shuihe. Perhaps she was mad at him, or she was afraid that Sheng Shuihe would make similar remarks that she "could not wait to ma
"They have to check those people!" Sheng Weiqiao said, "At the time, we are going to be at sea. Although the ship and the people on the ship belong to us, boatmen and men steering the ship are not known to us! They didn't get close to us. We'd better let my father, Third Uncle and chief stewards check them for fear that some ruffians come onto our ship secretly. That will be worse!"Sheng Weiwu said with a grin, "They are elder brothers of us, so they need to prepare more for the safety of our journey!"Ao Luanjing felt relieved and nodded with a smile, "To make us sit here and have tea and snacks leisurely, they really should work more!"The girls hadn't sat in the restaurant for a long time before servants who took luggage onto the towered ship reported to them: All things were in order, waiting to be checked whether some adjustments should be made.Ao Luanjing knew that she had not many things to take, so it was not surprising t
When the wharf became a small spot in sight, Sheng Weiqiao finally put her arm down disappointedly and shouted Sheng Weiwu to return to the cabin to see their accommodation—although they had already seen the layout when they just boarded the ship, they only glanced at the overall situation hurriedly since the banquet at noon was ready. Now the spoiled sisters would definitely adjust some details to make the room in the boat more comfortable to live in the following days.After hearing her cousin was calling her, Sheng Weiwu shook off Sheng Shuihe's arm apart quickly without any words. Then the two sisters just threw him away and went upstairs holding their own hands together. They discarded him decidedly after they had used him.Xu Baomo and Ao Luanxiao were watching aside, they both pulled a wry face and said jokingly, "Brother Hengshu, you have been discarded after being used!""Now they just throw you away when they don't need you anymore. Y
The change of Gongsun Yingdun's attitude was greatly related to his terrible experience on the ship for almost a month. When he was brought onto the shore, Sheng Shuihe promised to Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiqiao that he would find Gongsun Yingdun a house or a remote manor with servants for his recovery, and he would bring him to the North as his close aide so that he could promote him when he gained power.It seemed like he would return good for evil with great intention!Sheng Weiqiao trusted him, and Gongsun Yingjiang, the sister who cared about her brother, also agreed on the plan, so that they left Gongsun Yingdun to Sheng Shuihe without asking where he would send him.Actually…Gongsun Yingdun had only lived in the luxurious house for five or six days for his recovery.He was brought to the ship for forced labor after they had made sure that he would not die for his wounds.At first, he tried to
Sheng Weiqiao, Sheng Weiwu, and Gongsun Yingjiang returned to the cabin on the top floor and had a discussion, "The ship will lie at anchor for half a day. Shall we go for a walk along the shore?"Sheng Weiwu was the first to agree, "We have been at sea for two days. There is nothing except seagulls and flying fish! Although the ship is big, I have been tired of it after a few days. The ship seldom lies at anchor in the harbor today. We have never been to Bishui County before. Didn't Xu Baomo say that there are many sights near the dock? Shall we bring a few guards with us and go for a walk? If we saw something funny and delicious, we could take some to our family when we return!""That Young Lord Xu evidently doesn't have good intentions towards auntie. What he said may not be believable!" When Gongsun Yingjiang said this, Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwu thought that she didn't approve of traveling. But she snickered, "So, if we went to the shore but didn't
Like what Sheng Lu said, Danmo Building wasn't far from the dock.The carriage stopped very soon.As the curtain was lifted, they smelled a bitter fragrance coming in the wind before getting out.And as they stepped out of the carriage, a luxuriant chrysanthemum was seen by the road, light golden and aromatic.Green-tiled, pink-walled, with red railings and well-carved windows, a three-story building was erected nearby, of which under the eave of the first floor hanged a gilded plate reading Danmo Building.With the gate open, people came and went all the time, which composed a bustling scene.Sheng Lu waited until Sheng Weiqiao and the others all came out of the carriage and then showed them in. As the one in charge of Sheng Family's local business, he knew well the staff in Danmo Building.Seeing him, an old man who dressed richly immediately came up to receive him. He said cheerfully, "Mr.
Sheng Lu immediately snapped gaze back from her and made a bow, "Miss, that woman is exactly Master Shi, the best dancer in Danmo Building, who was hired the year before. She's an excellent dancer and is particularly known for the work Green Waist. She's respected as a guest here, so she doesn't perform every day. It was announced that she won't be on stage until the last day of the Chrysanthemum Contest, so I didn't expect an unscheduled show today. Miss, you're lucky!""Green Waist?" Sheng Weiwu chimed in, intrigued, "Does she know the Dance on Tray and Drum? Our domestic geishas are good at it! I wonder who the winner will be if they have a contest?"Sheng Weiqiao thought to herself that though Master Shi wouldn't be here every day, no one could tell if they were just lucky or Sheng Lu had prepared it in advance. He was the one who pulled strings, anyway. She tapped her sister's forehead, "Being seen as a guest here, obviously, she's not a regular dancer
The ambiance of the building was not particularly lively, but it was at least very amiable.The words just silenced the whole building, as if everyone was being splashed with a basin of cold water!“Zhao Taozhuang!” After a short while, they heard a smash from the next room and then an angry voice of a girl, “You said the poem I wrote was hideous. Write a remarkable poem to widen our horizon then and there if you can.”Hearing the voice, Sheng Weiqiao asked Sheng Lu in a low voice, “Is this Zhao Family one of the most influential families in Bishui County? Those girls from prestigious families are at odds with each other, so they suddenly got into bickering?”However, Sheng Lu shook his head and replied, “In this county, no prominent family is named after Zhao.”“That’s strange! When we came up here, and by a cursory glance I assume the more prestigious the guests in, the higher they will be accommodated in this Danmo
Seeing this, Sheng Weiqiao put down the curtain and turned around to Lvjin, "Go outside and warn our guards of this. That Miss Zhao knew we're outnumbered here and probably won't show up alone. She will bring someone with him. We need to be prepared for the uncertainties!"Lvjin agreed and went out to pass on the passage. Ao Luanxiao had a good temperament and did not like the idea of causing trouble. Seeing that she was ready to put on a fight, he got worried and said, "When she comes, we should be sensible and bury the hatchet!"His suggestion was not entirely based on fear. He continued, "That girl displayed a threatening manner, and it seems that she got someone powerful to back her up. If this happened in Nanfeng County, we would be okay. However, this is Bishui County, and Cousin Sheng as well as Brother Xu are not around. We didn't bring many guards with us. If she got more guards, I'm afraid we're in a disadvantaged situation."Because
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
