Chapter 184: Discovery
"Yes, mother, you don't know, the princess of Zhongshan smashed someone's shop directly a few days ago because the shopkeeper of a cloth village did not personally serve her to pick fabrics, which is really rude. My sister has such a character, even if my brother learns better, I'm afraid this character will not be successful. Mother should discuss it with her father, this is a major event in my sister's life. ”
Mrs. Yang and Wanyin were very shocked when they heard this, they had seen Dong Rong with their own eyes, and they liked her generous and funny temper very much, even if she became the princess of Zhongshan now, her temperament would not change greatly.
The mother and daughter were about to ask carefully, but they heard a report from a little maid outside the door, "Madam, Princess Zhongshan sent someone to deliver something." ”
Mrs. Yang replied casually, "Take a big reward and give it to the visitor, and then send the things over to see." ”
The little maid Xu was a little embarrassed, and only after a while did she answer, "Madam, what the palace has sent is half a fan of pork, a fat sheep, eight fish, two baskets of various fruits, and six boxes of fresh snacks. The slave and maid had already let the things be carried to the stove. ”
Mrs. Yang was stunned for a moment and then smiled, and said loudly, "Then send the dim sum to taste fresh, all the people from the palace, one of them will be rewarded." ”
"Yes, ma'am." The little maid answered, and soon came in with another maid with six boxes of snacks, and thoughtfully brewed a new pot of tea.
Mrs. Yang opened the boxes one by one and looked at them, and said with a smile and a surprised look on her daughters, "Princess Dong likes to ponder these snacks and eat the most, but now that she is pregnant, I am afraid that she will not be able to do it herself." But her maid's skills are also good, so you can take two boxes back and give them to the children to taste fresh. ”
Sister Yang was still a little worried, so she said, "Mother, it's almost all over Kyoto, but it's not that we are talking nonsense..."
Yang Wanyin, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said rarely, "Eldest sister, the princess is very good, my mother and I have seen it." Moreover, Dong Ping was also taught by his father himself, and there will be no loss in virtue. The rumors are not credible..."
Sister Yang frowned and said angrily, "It's really a girl who is outgoing, and before she gets married, she is in a hurry to correct her name." ”
Yang Wanyin hid behind her mother's back in shame and retorted in a low voice, "I'm telling the truth, my sister laughed at me again." ”
Mrs. Yang stretched out her hand and pulled out her little daughter, and also said helpfully, "We don't care about anything else, just see that Princess Dong treats our Yang family so thoughtfully, we can't use false rumors like outsiders." Well, in a few days, I will visit the king, and then you will come with me and see for yourself. ”
Sister Yang and Sister Yang both said yes, and the mother and daughter laughed again while eating and drinking. Mr. Yang came back from outside, just walked under the eaves, heard the laughter in the house, and breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand to stop the maid from reporting, turned around and went to the study again...
Dong Ping grew up under the care of his sister since he was a child, and he relied on his sister like a mother. Now after a few months, when he finally sees his sister, he has fallen into the pit again. Miscellaneous chores and family affairs such as food and clothing were taken over by his sister, and he took a group of classmates and friends around Kyoto all day long.
On this day, Dong Rong also took Second Sister Cao out in a car to go shopping. I finally came to Kyoto, but it would be a little pitiful to just lock the little girl in the palace. Sure enough, as soon as she got into the carriage and stepped out of the house, Second Sister Cao's excited little face turned red, and she secretly opened the curtain to look out, and exclaimed quietly from time to time. Zhang Yang has a very good temper, and he explained for her carefully, and the smile on his face never stopped.
Dong Rong leaned against the wall of the car and closed her eyes to recuperate, and at first she would laugh twice when she heard the two answers, but then she didn't know what to think of, and suddenly opened her eyes. She finally found out why she had that weird feeling before, it turned out that Second Sister Cao and Steward Zhang seemed to be a little too close.
That's right, it's the word "close". It stands to reason that these two people, one is the housekeeper of the family, who is over thirty years old, and the other is his sister-in-law, who is in the prime of her life, but they talk and laugh like this, and they are not unfamiliar, which shows that they get along like this on weekdays. Is there something she has overlooked?
Just like the idiom story of "suspicious neighbors stealing axes", Dong Rong had something in her heart, and she observed Second Sister Cao and Steward Zhang without a trace along the way, but the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the relationship between the two was very unusual.
For example, Steward Zhang was able to tell Sister Cao's favorite brocade color, and even what color of embroidery thread was missing in her needlework basket. If there is nothing to do, I will gather around the second sister Cao to take care of her, and I am more careful than her, the real master...
The more Dong Rong looked at it, the more she felt that it was not a way to go down like this, so she excused herself to be tired, and only walked around until noon and went home. Second Sister Cao is a good girl, she didn't know that her sister-in-law was suspicious, and she thought that she was too playful, and her tired sister-in-law suffered. On the road, I beat my sister-in-law's legs, and said against my will that there is nothing fun to go shopping, and I will never come out again.
Dong Rong felt warm in her heart when she heard this, and she became more and more determined to deal with this matter well, no matter how she said it, it was also her sister who had been in pain for so long, and she couldn't be sloppy in her life.
Murong Huaide originally went into the palace today to talk to the queen mother, but when he left the palace gate, he was suddenly startled when he saw the first class A at the door, and he heard that his daughter-in-law asked him to go back earlier, and he had something to discuss. He didn't dare to delay, and ran home all the way back to his horse.
Dong Rong sat on the soft couch restlessly, and she didn't have the heart to eat her favorite dim sum in the past, so she kept urging Yiba to visit the door. finally saw her husband come back, and she pounced at once.
Murong Huaide glanced at Zizhu and Yiba, but the two girls were also confused, so he waved his hand and drove the two out, and then asked gently, "What's the matter, but I'm worried that I'm 'heroes saving beauty' outside?" Don't worry, I only have you and my son in my heart, and I don't have time to provoke those women who are like kraft candy. ”
Dong Rong hugged her husband's neck tightly, glared at him fiercely when she heard this, and said angrily, "Everyone is going to die in a hurry, are you still in the mood to joke?" ”
"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Murong Huaide saw that his wife's face was a little bad, so he quickly apologized, and finally persuaded again, "What's going on, tell me." No matter how big it is, let's discuss it together, and we can always come up with a solution. ”
Dong Rong thought about it and said the little ambiguity between Second Sister Cao and Zhang Yang, and in the end, she was afraid that her husband would misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "I'm not saying that Second Sister Er'er is wrong, nor is it that Manager Zhang has bad intentions. It's just that I just feel that something is wrong. The second sister is now with us, if something really happens, how can I explain to the Cao family's father? Besides, Steward Zhang is so old, and the second sister is still young..."
As she said this, she became irritated again, tearing her sleeve and exhaling, "Oops, I can't tell. ”
Murong Huaide saw that his wife's little face was tangled and wrinkled, and he felt so cute that he couldn't help but kiss it. This provoked Dong Rong, and his little hand pinched his waist soft @ meat, twisting his body and making a fuss, "I'm going to be annoyed to death, you're not serious, I don't want you anymore, I want to go back to my hometown!" ”
"Oops, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Murong Huaide was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged his wife firmly, and coaxed and persuaded him repeatedly, "Don't be angry, this is easy to do, don't make yourself angry." ”
"Easy to do?" Dong Rong stopped suspiciously and asked, "What good way do you have?" ”
Murong Huaide hurriedly responded, "The reason why you are upset is that you feel that the second sister is still young, but Zhang Yang is over thirty years old, and the second sister is the most beloved youngest daughter of the Cao family, but Zhang Yang is a slave under me, and her status is not commensurate."
In fact, Zhang Yang had already recovered as a good citizen as early as the year before last, and he had been a big shopkeeper for many years, and his family wealth was quite rich, and the most important thing was that he had no parents and brothers. But the Cao family is a peasant, even if the second sister has a rich dowry, it is nothing more than marrying into a small family in the county, and when the time comes, she will have to honor her in-laws, serve her husband, and maybe have to deal with a bunch of uncles and sisters-in-law.
Therefore, in my opinion, it is better to marry Zhang Yang, at least enter the door and be in charge, no one will control it. Although Zhang Yang is older, he must also love his little daughter-in-law more. You tell me? ”
Dong Rong sat in her husband's arms and listened carefully, and felt that there was some truth in what she said. Perhaps the shortcomings that are difficult for her to accept are the advantages for the parties. Anyway, this is the life choice of Second Sister Cao, and in the end, she still wants to be happy.
"Although what you said is reasonable, it is still necessary to send Zhang Yang back to his hometown as soon as possible, and he can't let him get along with the second sister anymore, the second sister is simple-minded, and it will not be good if something happens accidentally. On the Cao family's father's side, I want to write a letter and report it in its original form, and ask them to have an idea as well. We'd better not mix it up too much..."
When Murong Huaide heard this, he was very happy that his shrewd little daughter-in-law was back. So he hugged her and kissed her, Dong Rong went to her heart and smiled, and pulled his ears to escape from the "tiger's mouth". The two children in the belly probably felt the joy between their father and mother, and kicked twice to join in the fun.
When the family of three was making trouble, Dong Ping came back from outside. Dong Rong hurriedly tidied up his clothes and makeup, and finally called his younger brother in, and when he saw that he was sweating profusely, he pulled a handkerchief to wipe it for him, and said angrily, "Didn't you go out to play, and you didn't rush the hour, why did you sweat tired?" ”
Dong Ping grabbed his sister's hand and said anxiously, "Sister, I went to Xiangmanyuan to see it, but Brother Jin was not there, I asked the guys in the store, and they all said that the owner had not shown up for several months." Sister, did you say he was in danger in Beiban? ”
Dong Rong also frowned when she heard this, "When I first arrived in Kyoto, I also sent someone to the shop to deliver local products, but then I didn't see him come to the door to return the gift, and I thought he was too polite to deal with me as a woman." I haven't been in Kyoto all along! ”
Dong Ping was so anxious that he turned around a few times, and finally said, "No, I have to go to the Jin family to ask." If Brother Jin is in trouble, I will always help. ”R638
