After Sheng Xiuyi finished instructing the people to do the work, he hurried back to the Shengchang Marquis Mansion.

The mansion congratulated the Marquis of Sheng Chang and the third master Sheng Xiumu on the banquet, Sheng Xiuyi only accompanied him slightly, and returned to the Jing Courtyard the rest of the time to tease the children.

Occasionally, he would go to see his eldest son, Sheng Lehao, and listen to the child talk about his master's Protestant words, and the father and son were happy.

Once when Marquis Sheng Chang saw it, he reprimanded Sheng Xiuyi: "Since ancient times, a strict father has produced a filial son, you treat Brother Hao like this, if he doesn't grow up in the future, it's all your father!" ”

Sheng Xiuyi said respectfully in person, he was still very kind to the children behind his back, and he couldn't take out the strict father's frame at all.

His two sons were also close to him, unlike the Sheng Xiuyi brothers, who had been respectful to their father since childhood. Sheng Xiuyi's two sons, especially the second son Sheng Leyu, will even be coquettish in his arms.

Sheng Changhou was very angry, and he hated to be able to discipline his son for Sheng Xiuyi in person.

It's just that when the grandchildren saw him, they looked scared again, and he didn't know where to teach him a lesson.

Marquis Sheng Chang originally thought about sending Dong Ying and Sheng Lecheng away, thinking that the old Marquis Xue of the Marquis of Zhenxian Mansion would also agree. Unexpectedly, Marquis Zhen Xian did not admit his account, and even reprimanded him sharply, telling him not to take the emperor's words out of context.

So Marquis Sheng Chang ignored that Marquis Xue was a veteran of the Three Dynasties, quarreled with Marquis Xue in the Xue family's outer study, and coaxed back to Shengfu.

Every time he asked Sheng Xiuyi what he meant to Dongyu and the child, Sheng Xiuyi was always indifferent: "It's good for dad to take the idea, and the child has no objection!" ”

"Then don't go back to the Jing Courtyard, lest you leak the news in front of the Xue family." Sheng Changhou said to Sheng Xiuyi. He predicted that Sheng Xiuyi would soften in front of the Xue family, and he couldn't resist the coaxing of the Xue family's rhetoric, and he couldn't hide anything.

Sheng Xiuyi said: "If you don't go back, your mother should be worried!" ”

Only then did he step on Sheng Changhou's sore feet.

It's hard to talk about it again.

On the ninth day of the first month of March, someone finally talked back.

Sheng Xiuyi still went to the Guanyin Nunnery last time and met the people from the Dust Wind Hall.

The man said: "The little one followed the Xia steward of the King of Xingping, and went all the way out of the capital division, a two-day journey. There is a Qingyuan county. A secluded alley in the northeast corner of the county, there is an exquisite house. Rice grains, meat and vegetables were planted in the summer steward's carriage, all of which were used for daily chewing.

The one who opened the door was a big man, and he looked quite fierce.

Wait for Steward Xia to leave. The little one went to the rented house, called to the door, and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open it. The neighbors said that the house had been sold early. It had been nearly three years since anyone had come to live there, but they didn't know who it was, and they didn't see anyone in the house, but they only heard the boy's voice talking. If the voice is higher. Just go down immediately.

There is an old woman who serves, with a pious face, who goes out to buy things for ten days and a half months, and when she bumps into someone, she should not be seen. When people asked her questions, they pretended to laugh completely, but they didn't answer.

The little one happened to have an elder brother who worshiped the boy in Qingyuan County, and promised him some silver taels and asked him to take care of him for a few days. I came back and paid homage to my lord. ”

Sheng Xiuyi listened, couldn't help but bow his head, and called Laifu to reward him with ten taels of silver.

The man took it with joy.

Sheng Xiuyi said: "You take me tomorrow." After the deed is done. I have a reward. These ten taels of silver are just tea money. You have run for me these days, chariots and horses, foot strength, shelter, food, favors, which one does not produce money? Though you have some money in your church, I have only two taels of silver here. ”

That person originally used the money in the hall to do things, and if the hall took Sheng Xiuyi's money, he would not treat them badly for running errands. And ten taels of silver were extra gains, and he was glad that he could eat and drink for a few days. As soon as he heard Sheng Xiuyi recite such a big circle, he knew that the heavy reward was ahead. Busy from the bottom of his heart, he said respectfully: "The little one will handle this matter properly for the master." ”

Sheng Xiuyi smiled slightly.

He went home that day and was in a good mood. It's just that the face is still faint, and I can't see why. In the middle of the afternoon, I went back to the Jingshi Courtyard and saw Dongyu holding the child, and the nurse and the servants in the house were all playing on the side. The four aunts in the house sat on the brocade and talked with Dongyu.

Sheng Xiuyi came back, and everyone got up to salute him.

The eyes of several aunts turned around him, as if they wanted to see how he was doing, and he had never been hurt.

He went to the northwest for more than nine months, and these concubines also missed him.

When I came back, I ran into a banquet for the three dynasties and the Sheng family, and then I was looking for someone, so I didn't care about seeing these aunts.

Today is the first time we have met.

Sheng Xiuyi asked them all to sit and stepped forward to pick up the child in Dongyi's hand.

Dong Yuzheng's hand was a little sour, so he took advantage of the situation to give it to Sheng Xiuyi.

Aunt Tao was stunned. But in an instant, she regained her previous meekness and respect, and sat with a smile.

Sheng Lecheng didn't sleep, he opened his eyes and looked at his father. The little child had no expression, and he fell asleep with his eyes closed when he was tired.

Sheng Xiuyi handed over the child to the nurse on the side.

Dongyu asked the nurse to carry the child down, and let the servants in the house retreat.

Orange Red personally brought tea to Sheng Xiuyi, then withdrew, standing outside the felt curtain at the door of the inner room, not allowing the maids to approach the door.

Dong Yu smiled and whispered to Sheng Xiuyi: "Aunt Tao asked me to ask the prince, can Brother Yu be enlightened this year?" ”

The heirs of the hairpin clan were all enlightened at the age of six.

Sheng Leyu has turned six years old, Sheng Changhou has been busy with major affairs in the court, Sheng Xiuyi is not at home, and no one at home asks Mr. Sheng Leyu to enlighten him. Although Aunt Tao was anxious, she didn't dare to mention it.

Now that Sheng Xiuyi is back, Dong Ying doesn't look like a housewife, and she still leaves her husband in the house during confinement and doesn't send it to her aunts.

Aunt Tao originally wanted to wait for Sheng Xiuyi to go to her and then mention it to Sheng Xiuyi.

It's just that Sheng Xiuyi didn't mean to go, she couldn't help it anymore, so she took advantage of Dongyi's complexion and mood today to tell her.

Let her tell Sheng Xiuyi.

Dong Ying was not displeased, so he took it as a serious matter and told Sheng Xiuyi to listen.

Sheng Xiuyi thought for a while and said to Aunt Tao: "Brother Yu was enlightened this year. It's just that there is a spring festival this year, and Hou Ye thinks that after the spring festival, if there is a talented man who is famous outside but has a reputation in Sun Mountain, he will hire one to come to the house. ”

There are many talents, but there are so many Jinshi in each subject, there are many monks and few porridges, and there are always talented and famous talents in their hometowns.

It is not easy for these talented people to go to Beijing, and they will not return to their hometowns.

When they left their hometown and entered Beijing to take the exam, they all made the grand wish of "swearing not to return to the gold list". Neither will they return to their hometowns, but they are worried that their money will run out, so some people are willing to go to the government to teach and seek a foothold.

When Aunt Tao heard that Sheng Changhou and Sheng Xiuyi had this idea, the worries in her heart were swept away, and she couldn't help but reveal joy.

She was really locked up in the inner house all day, and she had a short experience.

She knelt down and kowtowed to Sheng Xiuyi: "The concubine is so thoughtful, so she asks such a foolish question, Xie Shiziye." ”

Sheng Xiuyi said: "Get up!" ”

Among the many concubines, after all, it is not the same for Tao.

Aunt Fan and Aunt Xue he didn't like it, one was too dusty, and the other was bad-minded. Shao Zitan is old and loyal, and when she was a maid, the maids and affairs in his house were handed over to her, and she was very relieved.

is a concubine, but there is less fun.

Only Tao is exquisite, well-behaved and sensible, Sheng Xiuyi has some friendship with her, so he admonished: "You don't need to worry about it in the future." The eldest grandmother is Yu Ge'er's mother, and she will plan for Yu Ge'er's future. Family affairs, even if the eldest grandmother is in confinement, and there is a wife, it is only right for you to serve the eldest grandmother with peace of mind. ”

Aunt Tao said yes, her face was flushed.

Listening to this, Dong Ying paused in his heart, what Sheng Xiuyi said about Dong Ying seemed to be so virtuous and loving. He wouldn't think that Sheng Leyu and the others were other women's children to Dongyu?

Thinking about it, she thought it funny again.

It's about a clash of ideas. Men of this era probably wouldn't think that their wives would regard their concubines as "other women".

In the eyes of the wife, the concubine is a slave, and the child is what she needs to take care of, and it is her responsibility.

In the eyes of a man, his wife is the mother of his children, and he will naturally plan for his children. And the concubine is just a slave who has given birth to a child, and asking Sheng Leyu about her future is arrogance.

To Aunt Tao, he was indeed very polite, but he just clicked to the point.

Compared with Aunt Fan's indifference, Xue Jiangwan's neglect, and Shao Zitan's carelessness, Sheng Xiuyi has some friendship with Tao.

When Dow entered the mansion, he was pretty and graceful, and he also brought him joy.

Before Tao got up, he knelt down and kowtowed: "The concubine is ignorant, thank you for the teachings of the prince." ”

Sheng Xiuyi said again: "Get up!" ”

Shao Zitan stepped forward to help Tao.

Tao took Shao Zitan's hand and stood aside.

Sheng Xiuyi said to Aunt Fan, Xue Jiangwan and Shao Zitan: "Go ahead." ”

Leave Dow behind.

Xue Jiangwan couldn't hide the jealousy in his eyes. She glanced at Dongyu and was a little unwilling, so she didn't move her feet.

Dong Ying didn't look at her.

She had to follow Shao Zitan and Aunt Fan out of the inner room.

When a few aunts left, and only Dongyu, Tao and Sheng Xiuyi were left in the inner room, Sheng Xiuyi said to Tao: "I came back recently, and my grandmother is in confinement, so I don't care about letting you come over to say goodbye." The last time I left, I remember you said that your brother's shop was short of capital, and I asked someone to send a hundred taels of silver. ”

Dow was shocked and looked at Dongyu uneasily.

Dong Yu had an indifferent smile on his face.

Only then did Dow say, "...... During the Chinese New Year, the sister-in-law of the concubine came over and sent some rouge gouache, all of which were in the shop, and the concubine honored the grandmother. It's okay in the shop, because it was sent over by Lin Da's housekeeper, and the neighbors always know that they have a relationship with Shengchanghou, and they are okay with them. The small business is enough for them to chew in Beijing. ”

Linda housekeeper is Lin Jiufu, the chief manager of the Shengchang Marquis Mansion.

Tao is the cousin of the second grandmother Ge, and she is a concubine from a small family. Her hometown is not in Kyoto, and it was her brother who came to Beijing to settle down, and he was also a concubine, who was instructed by his sister-in-law at home and a slave, so he took a few of the family's capital, thinking of taking refuge in the Shengchang Marquis Mansion to do some small business.

Sheng Xiuyi thought that Tao gave birth to Brother Yu, and said that there were three poor relatives in the imperial court, so he helped Tao.
