"Why did you think of visiting your sister and me today?"
Sheng An had just finished practicing calligraphy when she saw her sister, who had not been seen for two or three days, running over.
"I miss you, sister, so come here!" Sheng Yuan said this, but she pointed her paw to her high bun to show off, "Doesn't it look good? Although it looks simple, Aunt Qi said it can be decorated a lot. Here’s the hair accessory!”
Sheng Ran thought that her sister had reached the age of beauty, so she wanted to nod in agreement, but this girl laughed and said that the dense bun can hide many hidden weapons!
"???" Sheng An was shocked.
She really didn't expect this little sister's brain circuit.
"After I pass the provincial examination qualification test, I can go on a study tour! The mountains are high and the roads are far away. What should I do if I'm not careful? If I encounter bandits on the road, I have to protect myself!"
Sheng Ran looked at the eagerness in the girl's eyes and the slightly raised corners of her mouth, feeling that there might be someone else who needed to protect herself.
"I can't tell, this study tour is for our whole family!" Sheng Ran patted her sister on the shoulder and told her not to jump too much.
"Dad and mom miss my brother, right!" Sheng Yuan was not surprised. After all, there was still something to explode at the elder brother's place. Dad and mom said they had to go over and see for themselves before they could rest assured.
It's a pity that this is her first time traveling far away with a sword since she was born!
"My parents are mainly worried about letting you escort my sister-in-law there... Besides, my parents also want to go to Beijing for a walk." Sheng Ran is also looking forward to this family trip.
She has never seen the scenery outside Beijing until now!
When Sheng Yuan saw her sister's expression of yearning, she couldn't help but think more. Since the late emperor ordered the vassal princes to return to the capital, Dachu would probably not divide the vassal kings as before. In this way, if there is no imperial edict, the current prince may not be able to return to the capital in his lifetime. Beijing.
If the emperor really plans to marry his sister to the prince, I am afraid that this trip will be a rare freedom for my sister.
Of course, another premise is that the engagement time is not very urgent.
Thinking of this, Sheng Yuan's mouth moved slightly, wanting to remind him.
But looking at the anticipation in her sister's eyes, she hesitated.
Generally speaking, when a prince gets married, the regulations are extremely cumbersome and the entire process is very strict. Once the marriage is set, it takes no more than a year and a half to complete the three letters and six rites.
Thinking of this, Sheng Yuan suddenly became happy again, holding her sister's arm to discuss how to modify the traveling carriage, how to arrange outdoor meals during the journey, what eating and drinking utensils to bring, how to arrange for walking and resting, while walking Play……
Seeing her being so happy, Sheng Ran seemed to have forgotten Brother Yu's friend, and couldn't help teasing her: "You arranged it very well, but it's just that you pity Brother Yu. All his friends have gone out of Beijing, leaving him alone." Looking forward to it in Kyoto!”
"Oh, by the way! There are also Brother Yu and Brother Sheng! I wonder if they really want to go out with us!"
"Brother Sheng? Didn't Brother Sheng follow Marquis Chengzhong out of the capital?"
Mentioning this, Sheng Yuan was so angry that her hair was flying, but she couldn't help laughing: "Brother Yu, that big fool! He cried stupidly several times! If he hadn't sighed for nothing, I have made the Emperor angry, and I still don’t know that the Emperor is acting for Uncle Lu!”
"Oh? What's going on?" Sheng Ran had heard that Marquis Chengzhong was close to the emperor, but Marquis Chengzhong always kept a low profile. If the emperor hadn't forgotten to give generous rewards to Marquis Chengzhong's mansion during the New Year, the nobles in Kyoto would I am afraid that this prince will be forgotten.
"It's not because of Marquis Lao Baoxiang and his wife!" Sheng Yuan also didn't expect that these two people, both of whom were octogenarians, hadn't given up their plans to let their youngest son remarry!
"Last year, Brother Suisheng made a fuss under the influence of alcohol, and his grandparents were quiet for a while. But since he was admitted as a scholar, the two elders felt that it was okay. They just did one thing all day long, and tried every means to add more to the Chengzhong Hou Mansion. hostess."
Sheng An was impressed by what she heard, as if her sister often gave Brother Sheng advice.
"According to what Brother Yu heard from the emperor, this time Lao Baoxiang Hou and his wife joined forces with their other two sons, and invited seven aunts and eight aunts to join the battle. It seems that the style is actually to say that Uncle Lu will be tied up directly and sent to the prison. That’s the bridal chamber!”
"..." Sheng Ran laughed.
She heard that the Marquis of Chengzhong was unruly in his words and deeds when he was young, but he was very skilled. She was often so angry that the current Marquis of Baoxiang jumped when he looked at his back.
It is said that when he was growing up, the House of the Marquis of Baoxiang was once the most lively presence in the noble circle in Kyoto.
But no one expected that time would pass by and the infuriating Ling Ao Langjun would let his parents who were on crutches hold him down and tie him up.
Sheng Yuan noticed her sister's smile and couldn't help but tell her: "Brother Yu said that the emperor also laughed at Uncle Lu like this! But Uncle Lu said that when he was young, his parents were still strong, so even if he flashed, he would still laugh. It doesn't matter. But now he has to know his destiny, and his parents are trembling, so how can he dare to struggle."
"That's the truth." Sheng Anlan smiled and nodded.
For a moment, she felt a little sad.
Shaking her head to get rid of the depression in her mood, Sheng Ran looked at the smiling girl, and her heart became clear.
"When the emperor received Uncle Lu's request for help, he naturally wanted to help. He said he was stationed at the border, but in fact he was given an errand to hide in. The reason why he said it was ambiguous was to scare Lao Baoxiang and his wife. Think about it for yourself, is it better to have a son, grandson, Chenghuan, or to have a daughter-in-law?"
Sheng Ran was suddenly surprised when she heard this: "Could it be that the Emperor and Marquis Chengzhong joined forces and even deceived Brother Sheng?"
"It's true that I deceived Brother Sheng, but Lao Baoxianghou and his wife are old and sophisticated, and they probably guessed the whole story. Although they are a little angry, Uncle Lu's helper is the emperor, so he can only think that he has been deceived!"
"They are probably afraid that Marquis Chengzhong will have a good time at the border and that he will not miss Shu!"
Sheng Ran sighed with emotion, looked at her younger sister and asked, "In this case, I'm afraid Marquis Chengzhong won't have to leave the capital. Brother Yu will be happy again, right?"
"The Emperor seems not to have taken back Uncle Lu San's mission...but Brother Sheng probably won't follow him out; but he wants to take the path of a military general, and I'm afraid he still has to practice after the provincial examination. Brother Yu is very worried about gains and losses now, Sometimes he laughs and sometimes he is sad. Unless he thinks of a good idea, there will be times when he is depressed."
Sheng An didn't care whether Anyu was depressed or not. She listened to it with amusement, but it dissipated a lot of her usual restlessness.
The topic of the Chengzhong Hou Mansion ended here. The two sisters held hands and talked about home affairs affectionately.
Sheng Yuan didn't wave goodbye until she woke up from her nap, had eaten, drank and washed herself carefully.
But as soon as she took a step forward, she quickly took it back. She turned around and curiously asked her sister if the second prince had completed the poem.
She didn't want to ask until she asked, and was greeted by her sister's particularly gentle smile: "What's going on with Qing? Get out of here!"
