Sheng Shuihe and Xu Baomo didn't know that Sheng Weiqiao stabbed Xu Baomo in the back these days, so after saying their farewells to Madam Nan, they went to the drawing room to eat food unsuspectingly.
At this time, the table in the drawing room had been covered with various dishes, such as fried gardenias, plain chicken, fried wild bamboo shoots, shrimp, jujube puree cake, fried shrimp, tomato crispy rice, ham and broad beans, shredded chicken white fungus, osmanthus fish sticks, sweet and sour lotus root, fresh mushroom cabbage, white braised pork belly, braised red shellfish...
Obviously, the chefs of Marquis Mansion cooked the food with earnestness.
Staying in the Examination Hall for nine consecutive days, except for the porridge and water provided by the Examination Hall, they could only eat some dry food. Looking at the food at this time, they had a great appetite.
Madam Nan didn't let anyone come to serve them, so only they
Xu Baomo saw that things were in a bad way, so he swam towards the middle of the pool to avoid Madam Nan's beating.In the meantime, he quickly thought about what he had done recently and confessed his mistakes in a hurry, "Mom! I didn't mean to carry on with the lame horsekeeper's sister! It was that she wanted me to promote her elder brother, so she took the initiative to say that she wants to marry me!""As for the maid Yan who is in charge of washing vegetables in the kitchen, I just praised the dress she wore that day was beautiful casually, and then she invited me to go to the rockery in the middle of the night to enjoy the moon. I just thought that a beautiful girl who was only fourteen years old might meet danger at midnight in the rockery alone, so I went to keep the appointment. When going down the rockery, she fell into my arms accidentally. I... I was just bewitched for a while. I swear! I will absolutely not do this kind of thing again!"
Xu Baomo was overcome with grief and anger, while after Sheng Weiqiao noticed that Madam Nan had been away too long in the back hall, she started to worry whether she was going to make trouble with Xu Baomo. So she beat around the bush, hoping to come to intercede for Xu Baomo.However, Xu Caikui steered clear of the crucial point. When Sheng Weiqiao was uneasy, Madam Nan, who had changed her clothes and turned refreshed, came back. As soon as entering the door, she apologized, "Something happened just now and the maid asked me for help. It took me some time to handle it."After explaining the reason why it took her so long a time to change clothes, she then smiled and nodded towards Sheng Shuihe, "Shuihe, you finished the bath? You look more refreshed now! But if you felt tired, you should have a rest! Since you are back now, we can talk about what happened tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"Without waiting for anyone to answer her, she look
Sheng Weiqiao was astonished to hear it and asked unconsciously, "What do you mean?"Fairly swiftly, she cleared her mind and then put on a long face, "Stop being melodramatic! Second Uncle and Third Uncle are afraid that war will cause havoc and therefore have never gone to war. Besides, they are not cut out for study. They are not even Confucian apprentices, let alone inferior government workers, or even government officials. As for grandpa and dad, they have resigned from their official posts for about twenty or thirty years. What do they have to do with the ups and downs of the imperial court?""Oh?" Sheng Shuihe smiled and said in a soft tone, "Well, sweetie, don't you think that it means something? It is easy to understand why Senior Master Ao and Old Marquis Xu made such a decision. Well, grandpa quit being a rich man and left his young, beautiful wife at home. And then he took the initiative in joining the army to guard the country. He was such a pa
Why did Huan Guanlan, who had a good reputation, spare no effort to kill General Zhou, who also enjoyed a good reputation, and even his family?The conflict between them could be reasonable if they were all civil officials or military generals. However, in fact, one was a civil official while the other a general!Although Huan Guanlan boasted of being competent to hold the post of either a prime minister or a military general, in light of Emperor Xuanjing's age and indulgence in his harem, could Huan Guanlan, the Royal Preceptor, leave Chang'an at ease to launch a northern expedition to Ruru?In fact, after General Zhou's death, the Beijiang army had mostly taken defensive measures.Apart from the fact that Huan Guanlan failed to lead the army to expel Ruru, it remained an extravagant hope so far for Country Mu to fulfill the last wish of Emperor Mu because Gaomi King and Madam Meng, who were in power at this time, were rest
Hearing Sheng Weiqiao's words, Sheng Shuihe said with a relaxing voice, "That's easy. I gave a sea chart to daddy before I left Nanfeng County. As the Sheng Family is now far away in Nanfeng County, even if there's uproar in Chang'an, it will take time for them to know that. At that time, if the situation got worse, let daddy and all the family members leave Nanfeng County and take refuge abroad."Hearing that, Sheng Weiqiao was so angry that she stepped forward and kicked him. She said, "As the saying goes, ‘Things become more precious out of the place of origin but people will be the opposite.’ How can you say that it's easy to be solved by giving such a lousy idea? Then, why don't you live on Daimao Island for your lifetime?""Then, will you accompany me?" Sheng Shuihe asked rhetorically, raising his eyebrows, "If you are willing to accompany me, why can't I live my whole life on Daimao Island?"Seeing that Sheng Weiqiao's eyes were full of
Seeing that Gongsun Xi and Gongsun Yingdun holding their tongues, Sheng Shuihe said with a cold face, "Why are you still standing here? Go and handle your affairs!"They said "yes" together but glared at each other as soon as they walked out.Walking out of the Yingqing Courtyard and thinking that Sheng Shuihe could not hear their voice, Gongsun Xi gnashed his teeth and said, "If Chief gets in danger because of your flattery, I'll tear you to pieces even Chief stops me!"Then, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.Gongsun Yingdun sneered, "If Little Uncle stops you from hurting me, what can you do? At this time, I'd follow Little Uncle's every decision. Therefore, for months and years, I'll outdo you sooner or later! At that time, who knows who will be that person being torn into pieces?"Gongsun Yingdun thought that with his sister's support, he could seek help from Sheng Weiqiao through Gongsun Yingjiang. Now, Gong
Sheng Weiqiao knew nothing about Xu Baomo's extreme misery this day.At dinner that night, seeing that he did not show up, she was quite worried. But after asking about it, Madam Nan said, "He locked himself in the room just now and refused to come out probably because he thought he didn't do well in the metropolitan examination. Actually, it's okay whether he performed well... Anyway, he is still young. He can take the next examination. We Xu Family is not a literary family, so we would actually be very happy if he could get the position of Juren. But he just didn’t listen to it. So just leave him alone! After all, he is an adult, not a child who needs to be comforted by a group of people. He doesn’t feel embarrassed. But we do!"Sheng Weiqiao said, "The result hasn't come out yet. Maybe Brother Xu has a false presentiment. Maybe he can not only make his mark but also come to the top!"Then she stopped talking.After all, how coul
A moment later, Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Shuihe left.Not far from the back hall, Sheng Shuihe asked the servants to stay away and then smiled to Sheng Weiqiao, "Sweetie, Uncle Xu's raising cats is unworthy of being mentioned! I have been raising Brother Five since long ago!"Naive!She wanted to frighten him with Xu Zijing's raising cats?A man who did not raise a fierce animal could not be a good husband!A man without this awareness couldn't be a talented and handsome man!"Why will grandparents come to Chang'an?" However, Sheng Weiqiao changed the topic with a sullen face and said seriously, "You egged on them?"After the news that she was driven out of Ningwei Marquis Family by Xu Caikui last year was spread to the south, Sheng Family didn't mean to come here. Why would Senior Master Sheng come here suddenly with Old Madam Ming after the thing had been past for so long?"I pla
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
