Chapter 353: One Thing, Please
Mrs. Dong has lived for so long, and the number of times she has come to the palace is only a handful, not only because Master Dong is afraid that Mrs. Dong's beauty will be seen, but also because Mrs. Dong has no idea about the status of imperial power.
If it weren't for Dong Yu, she wouldn't even be here, and this time she was helpless.
"I heard that Xiaoyu came to the palace yesterday?" Mrs. Dong asked tentatively.
Everyone knows that Shen Xingyue doesn't like too many palace maids, so when she sees guests, she usually only leaves Liu Xiu and Takiyan around.
So at this time, she had nothing to hide, so she nodded directly: "Yes, Young Master Dong came here yesterday." ”
"I've always heard people say that he has a good relationship with Concubine Yue, and he came to see you yesterday, so he must have regarded you as a friend, so I also have a reluctant request...... " She looked at Shen Xingyue again, looking very embarrassed.
Shen Xingyue nodded intimately: "It's not in the way, Mrs. Dong just say it, as long as it's within my power, I will definitely help." ”
In front of the Dong family, Shen Xingyue didn't want to show too much class system, after all, she had received a lot of favors from others.
"Xiaoyu is twenty-two years old this year, and he is not married, so I want to find some young ladies for him at this birthday banquet to see whose family he likes, and to come to the door to propose."
"But our family is a merchant family in the end, and there is no real power, and those young ladies are unwilling to come if they can't say it, so they want to borrow the name of Concubine Yue. If Concubine Yue Niangniang can come at that time, of course, it will attract a lot of nobles from the capital. Mrs. Dong's face was full of sorrow, and she didn't understand where the problem was.
Dong Yu is also considered to be amorous outside, and this reputation is known to many people, but he is not married, and he does not accept rooms or concubines, and he often pretends to greet people outside, and does not give people a name.
After a long time, Mrs. Dong doubted Dong Yu's ability.
She also pondered that if she couldn't find a suitable one for this birthday banquet, then she would find a few more handsome men to come over and see what Dong Yu thought.
I have to give her an explanation so that she can face the ancestors of the Dong family.
"I have a good relationship with Young Master Dong, if Madame needs it, I can attend his birthday banquet, and those famous ladies can also be invited by me." Shen Xingyue understood what Mrs. Dong meant, and also took the initiative to say at this time.
Mrs. Dong's face was overjoyed, and when she looked at Shen Xingyue, she knelt down for her.
"Concubine Yue Niangniang is really understanding, Your Majesty is so lucky to have a concubine like you." That's all she praises about people's kung fu, after all, she is spoiled in the Dong family on weekdays, and she has never tried to please others.
Shen Xingyue shook her head: "Mrs. Dong doesn't need to be too excited, he is my friend after all, and it is also appropriate to help him." ”
"Concubine Yue, Niangniang......" Mrs. Dong looked at Shen Xingyue, tears were about to fall, and she felt that she was really good.
It seems that Shen Xingyue has no shelf, and is considerate and sensible, Mrs. Dong has also sat here for a long time, and complained to Shen Xingyue about a lot of things about the Dong family, Shen Xingyue listened carefully one by one, and gave good suggestions.
This made Mrs. Dong's understanding of Shen Xingyue a little higher in her heart, and at the same time, it was a pity, if Shen Xingyue could marry into their Dong family, would she still worry about the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
But these words can only be thought about in their hearts, after all, she is the emperor's woman, not something that others can imagine.
When she went out, Shen Xingyue sent her all the way out of the Moon Viewing Palace, and then went back at the urging of Mrs. Dong.
Mrs. Dong hummed a tune and returned to Dong's house, and it didn't take long for Dong Yu to break in.
She was in a good mood, so even if her son came in directly without letting the next person pass the word, she didn't get angry with him, but just glanced at him: "What's the matter?" ”
"You're in the palace?" Dong Yu asked directly, and his tone was not very good.
Mrs. Dong frowned: "What kind of attitude do you have?" I'm your mother, what's wrong with me entering the palace? The attitude of the concubine is better than yours, I don't know how much. ”
Compared with the intimate Shen Xingyue, Mrs. Dong also felt more and more that Dong Fu was too ignorant and disobedient, and it felt better to have a son than to have a fried bun.
"Why did you suddenly enter the palace, you don't know the ones in the palace ......" Mrs. Dong glared, Dong Yu was a lot of instigation, but he still didn't forget to complain.
Mrs. Dong also glared when she heard this: "How do you know that you are not familiar?" Do I have to be watched by you every day? I'm a mother, you're a son! ”
"Yes, yes, you're the best. So why did you enter the palace? Dong Yu said in an extremely perfunctory manner, and then he was concerned about entering the palace again.
Mrs. Dong snorted: "Why should I tell you about your attitude?" ”
Yes, it's arrogant again.
Dong Yu wasted a lot of effort, promised to send jewelry, and pinched his shoulders before finally getting the words out of Mrs. Dong's mouth.
It was because he knew that he had a good relationship with Shen Xingyue, so he deliberately found Shen Xingyue and wanted her to be able to attend his birthday banquet and surprise him.
This is really a surprise, at least after Dong Yu heard it, he didn't think she was bad, and even thanked her a few times, and praised Mrs. Dong comfortably.
It wasn't until Dong Yu left that Mrs. Dong reacted in hindsight, other friends from Dong's mansion were coming, and he didn't see him so happy, why was he so happy when he knew that Concubine Yue was coming?
This seems to be a very serious problem, but Mrs. Dong has never been focused on things, and she was quickly taken away by other things, and she forgot to think about it.
Dong Yu knew that Shen Xingyue was coming, and he was looking forward to the birthday banquet that he didn't like, after all, he was going to celebrate his birthday soon.
The birthday banquet was prepared early, but those eldest ladies all had their own tutors, and no one responded to the post sent by the Dong family.
But since Shen Xingyue said it, the other ladies have all said that they want to go, and they almost broke the threshold of the Dong family on the day of the birthday banquet.
The next day is the day of His Majesty's triumph, and today is Dong Yu's birthday, Shen Xingyue was invited as a special guest, and he came quite early.
At this time, the Dong family had almost cleaned up, and Mrs. Dong and Master Dong had also put on new clothes and were waiting for the guests to arrive at the door of Dong's house.
Not long after they stood up, they saw Takiyan, who had been following Shen Xingyue's side.
Next to Takiyan, it is a soft sedan chair.
"Concubine Yue is here." Mrs. Dong patted Master Dong excitedly, and the two of them also made a welcoming attitude.
The sedan chair stopped in front of the two, and a fair-skinned and slender hand took the lead in reaching out, and then the sedan curtain was lifted by the subordinate, and the people inside were also revealed.
