Section 234 Accident (2)
The news that there is no need to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings made everyone in the Sheng family feel their hearts skip a beat.
Marquis Sheng Chang hurriedly asked Lin Jiufu, the head of the outer courtyard, to find out what was going on.
And Dong Ying helped Mrs. Sheng back to Yuanyang Pavilion.
Since you don't have to enter the palace, you don't need to wear court clothes anymore. Dongyu and Kang's mother stepped forward to serve Mrs. Sheng and changed their homely gowns, and citrons and incense plants helped on the side.
Sheng Changhou went to the outer courtyard.
"You go back and change your clothes first." Mrs. Sheng chuckled and said to Dongyu, "I don't feel comfortable wearing this dress, so I changed my clothes and went back to my mother to talk." ”
Dong Yu said yes, and returned to the Jingshi Courtyard with the maid.
Seeing that Dongyu had suddenly returned now, Mother Luo and a few of the maids who were serving were frightened, and they hurriedly stepped forward to serve, and asked what was going on.
Dong Yu told them that he didn't need to go into the palace to ask for peace.
These major events, the maids and daughters-in-law did not dare to answer, and several people silently took off the heavy ornaments on Dongyu's head, changed the homely folded branch begonia placket, and wore a blue-gray silk cloak outside, and wore two double butterfly flowers on his head.
After changing this dress, the whole person looked elegant and beautiful.
Luo's mother personally brought hot water and served Dongyu to clean her face.
After being busy, Dong Ying went to Mrs. Sheng and asked if there was any news from the palace. Since there is no need to go to the New Year's greetings, something big naturally happened.
The two mothers of the Sheng Mansion are in the palace, and no one dares to get away with it.
Mrs. Sheng held on so not to show anxiety, but her brows were involuntarily tightly locked.
"Ah Jin, what did you say happened in the palace?" Mrs. Sheng asked Dongyu softly.
Dong Ying didn't dare to guess.
She shook her head: "Mother, don't worry. The prince went out early in the morning, he should know what was going on. Wait for him to come back. Isn't that clear? ”
Mrs. Sheng did not stretch her brows because of Dong Yu's words. She called out to the citron beside her and instructed her, "You go to the outer courtyard and take a look, and see what the Hou Ye is busy with." ”
The citron departed.
It didn't take long for the citron to fold back. said to Mrs. Sheng: "Madam, Master Hou is out... Hou Ye changed his clothes in the outer study, saying that he was going to Yongningbo's Mansion. ”
Sheng Changhou and Yong Ningbo are close friends. If it was a normal day, Mrs. Sheng wouldn't think much about it at all.
But in this situation, it is clear that the wind and rain are coming. And Sheng Changhou actually had the intention to meet friends, which shows that he went to inquire about the news.
Mrs. Sheng couldn't help but get anxious. No matter what happened, she didn't want Sheng Changhou to get involved again. He managed to retreat from the center of the whirlpool, and now writes and paints at home. teasing Brother Cheng'er, her body and spirit are getting better day by day, and Mrs. Sheng is very satisfied with her current life.
She didn't want the former high-ranking but irritable Sheng Changhou.
"Go and tell Lin Jiufu: Let people go to Yongningbo's Mansion and ask Hou Ye to come back, and say that I am not ......very good," Mrs. Sheng said to Citron.
This era. To say that it is not very good, it probably means that it is very sick. Medical conditions are extremely poor, and most serious illnesses are equivalent to the death penalty. Mrs. Sheng spoke like this on the first day of the New Year, and it was still spread to Yongningbo's Mansion, which was a curse to Mrs. Sheng herself, and also made Sheng Changhou worried.
Dong Yu took Mrs. Sheng's hand: "Mother, you have a long life, how can you say such a thing on the first day of the new year?" When Daddy heard this, wasn't he worried about his mother? Daddy went to Yongningbo's Mansion. It's just drinking and watching a play, why are you in a hurry to find him back? ”
Mrs. Sheng glanced at Dong Jin, and her expression was a little insistent: "Ah Jin, you don't understand this thing. Your daddy ......"
"Is my mother afraid that my father will be involved in the court again?" Dong Yu interrupted Mrs. Sheng with a smile. It was the first time she interrupted Mrs. Sheng so rudely, and said with a smile, "If Daddy really has a thought." I probably won't go to Yongningbo Mansion. Although Yongningbo's mansion has a crown princess, Yongningbo has no power in the court...... Daddy used to have so many protégés, and now there are still many people in high positions, if Daddy has the heart to return to the court, he will go to those protégés. ”
Mrs. Sheng thought carefully about Dongyu's words and felt that she was reasonable.
She couldn't help but smile bitterly, and the insistence in her eyes was a little slack: "What you said is reasonable, but my mother didn't think it through......"
The minister's house is going to enter the palace in the morning to pay New Year's greetings, so there are no guests at home in the morning. Although there is no need to enter the palace this year, everyone doesn't know the reason, and they don't dare to go out rashly, for fear that there will be news suddenly and let them enter the palace. Then I panicked.
It was very boring to sit idly, Brother Cheng also woke up, Dongyu asked Mrs. Sheng, and then asked the maids to invite the second grandfather and second grandmother, Sheng Lehao, Sheng Leyun and Sheng Lehui to Yuanyang Pavilion, and several people accompanied Mrs. Sheng to laugh.
"Grandmother, can Sister Hui and I go to pay New Year's greetings this year?" As she spoke, Sheng Leyun blinked her eyes and asked Mrs. Sheng, "Aunt Seventh said that when she turns eleven, she can go out with her father and mother to pay New Year's greetings." ”
The words were vague, but everyone understood.
When girls are older, they will not only follow their mothers to attend banquets, but also follow their mothers to visit relatives during the New Year's holidays, see the world, meet women of the same age from good families, and make close friends in the boudoir.
The Sheng family has been enlightened in recent years, as long as they are close to others, it is not rude for girls to interact with each other.
Hearing Sheng Leyun's words, Sheng Lehui's eyes also lit up, and she looked at Mrs. Sheng with longing.
Mrs. Sheng listened to the child's words, and her face showed a little embarrassment.
She didn't know how to answer Sister Yun.
Of course, Sister Hui can follow the second grandmother Ge Shi around to pay New Year's greetings. As long as the second grandmother is willing to take her.
But whether Dongyu is willing to take Sister Yun with her. Within the Sheng family, Sheng Leyun is a concubine, and Dongyu is a stepfamily. She originally attended various occasions and was very embarrassed to be a step-room in the name of the county lord. Let her take her maiden around again, what will she think in her heart?
Even if she is open-minded, others will look down on her!
Unless Sheng Xiu inherits the lord in the future and Sheng Leyun becomes the concubine of the Marquis of Shengchang, her identity will improve by leaps and bounds.
And now? She is just the concubine of the prince of Shengchang Hou. Maybe when they come to kiss in the future, others look at Sheng Xiuyi's future, thinking that she is at least the biological daughter of Sheng Changhou in the future, and Sister Yun can get a better family affair than Sister Hui. But it doesn't mean that outsiders can take a high look at Sister Yun now.
There are more young ladies in the prince's house.
Sister Yun'er's future depends on Sheng Xiuyi's hard work. If he becomes an emperor in the future and has a high and powerful position, Sister Yun will rise to the top.
Looking at the hope in the child's eyes, Mrs. Sheng felt a little self-blame.
At the beginning, there were few children in the family, and because of Sheng Xiuyi's reputation as a "wife", the heirs were not prosperous, and there were only four grandchildren and granddaughters in the family.
But now the Sheng family is no longer Mrs. Sheng's housekeeper, but Dongyu. The problem of the heirs in Sheng Xiu's room gradually returned to normal.
In Sheng Xiu's room, Brother Cheng was added last year.
Mrs. Sheng can not care about her concubine, but what will Dong Yu think? Will she think that Mrs. Sheng is deliberately elevating her concubine to suppress her stepfamily?
Although Dongying and Mrs. Sheng get along very harmoniously now, once someone provokes and there are these gaps in it, Mrs. Sheng does not dare to guarantee that Dongying will not be suspicious.
Anyone can have such doubts, right?
Besides, Dongying was born in the Shengchang Marquis Mansion, she grew up in the real poetry hairpin clan since she was a child, and the concept she accepted should be a clear distinction between the descendants and the concubines, right?
Mrs. Sheng felt more and more that she shouldn't have spoiled Sister Yun too much at the beginning.
Just like Brother Yu'er's death at the beginning, wasn't Mrs. Sheng too pampered and raised him like a sister-in-law, and the child couldn't bear the blessing and left?
I couldn't help but suddenly think of Brother Yu, and Mrs. Sheng's heart ached.
She furrowed her brows, letting her breath calm as much as she could.
Sheng Leyun saw that after she asked such a sentence, her grandmother suddenly saw such a change of face, and she immediately panicked, and looked at Dong Yu at a loss.
Dong Ying smiled and replied for Mrs. Sheng, "Of course you can." Sister Yun and Sister Hui are old, so they naturally want to go out to pay New Year's greetings. ”
Then, he looked at Mrs. Sheng again: "Mother, this year, my second brother and sister and I will take Sister Yun and Sister Hui, right?" ”
She could probably guess the reason for the change in Madame Sheng's expression.
It's nothing more than a fear of embarrassment.
Dong Ying didn't think there was anything to be embarrassed about.
Sheng Leyun is a girl, she is going to marry in the future, and there is no conflict of interest with Dongyu. Since the Sheng family is willing to raise her value and find a good marriage for her in the future, Dong Ying is happy to be an intermediary.
The second grandmother looked at Dongyu and Mrs. Sheng in confusion.
She was very puzzled by Mrs. Sheng's sudden change of face, and she was very confused by Dongyu's lightness. What are these two guys playing?
However, do you want Sister Yun and Sister Hui to go to the New Year together?
Sister Yun was born to her aunt, and Sister Hui was born to her wife. If the two of them are together, won't others look down on Sister Hui'er?
The second grandmother had a disgust for Sheng Leyun in her heart: she was obviously born of a cheap maid, but she preferred to show off in front of her wife and grandmother, and raised herself to the same position as Sister Hui.
Although the family will be separated in the future, Sister Yun is a descendant, and Sister Hui is a side branch, which may be a little different. Now, it's far from it.
The second grandmother knew what Mrs. Sheng meant, and wanted to give Sister Yun a better future. And Dong Yu has no daughter. Even if she has a daughter, her status is much higher than that of Sister Yun, so she doesn't care how Mrs. Sheng raises Sister Yun!
The second grandmother couldn't stand it. She can't call a concubine to ride on the head of Sheng Lehui.
Thinking about it, the second grandmother looked at Sheng Leyun's eyes, and she was a little ruthless.
She wanted to say something, but remembered that she had made up her mind to handle the relationship with Dong Jin, so she suppressed the anger in her heart.
And when Mrs. Sheng came back to her senses, she heard Dongyu say that she was willing to take Sheng Leyun out to pay New Year's greetings. She looked at Dong Yu's face, it didn't look like she was pretending, she was very sincere, so she bowed her head slightly and said with a smile: "Okay." It's time for our Sister Yun and Sister Hui to go out and see the world. ”
Sheng Leyun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled knowingly.
Sister Hui'er's eyes were bright but darkened, and her smile was a little astringent.
Although she didn't speak, she could see the faces of the adults clearly. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
