A sentence of "empty thoughts" may be two lives.

That smart and cautious Mrs. Yuan, that gentle and virtuous Miss Yuan Puying, what happened to make them end up like this?

Do you covet the wealth and glory of the Sheng family? Do they know that it is difficult to be in the Sheng family?

Was he forced by the second master Sheng Xiuhai? Yuan Tiju passed away, Mrs. Yuan San took the two young masters and Yuan Puying back to Kyoto, the people were cold, they were originally side branches, they lost Yuan Tiju's dependence, why did the Marquis of Jianzhao take a look at their orphans and widows? Naturally, they couldn't climb the Gaomen compound where the Zhaohou Mansion was built. It is also possible to be reduced to being bullied.

No matter what it is, Miss Yuan and Mrs. Yuan San, who were once praised by the old lady of the Xue family, no longer exist.

Dong Yu gently hugged Sheng Xiuyi's waist and buried her head in his arms.

Sheng Xiuyi hugged her, and his hand slid under her shirt.

The next day, Dong Yu went to greet Mrs. Sheng, Sheng Changhou had not yet returned, and the second master came again early in the morning. He stood in the east room, silent, and only begged Mrs. Sheng to make the decision for him, and he had to marry Yuan Puying as his wife.

The third master of the Sheng family was on duty today, and he went out early.

Sheng Xiuyi didn't need to go to the yamen to order Mao, he accompanied Dongyu to greet Mrs. Sheng.

The second grandmother didn't come, and the second lady Sheng Lehui's nurse led the second lady here.

Seeing his father standing silently, Sheng Lehui was puzzled, and stepped forward to take his hand: "Daddy, why are you standing here?" Then he looked at Mrs. Sheng suspiciously.

Mrs. Sheng couldn't bear it, and beckoned to Sheng Lehui.

Sheng Lehui ran to her grandmother's side.

Mrs. Sheng hugged her in her arms and said with a smile: "Sister Hui, you follow your sister and brother to the back garden to pick some gardenias for your grandmother, okay?" He asked Kang's mother again, "Are the gardenias in our yard blooming today?" ”

Kang's mother smiled: "It's early." ”

"Then you took the three of them!" Mrs. Sheng said with a smile and handed over Sheng Leyun, Sheng Lehui and Sheng Leyu to Mother Kang.

Nine-year-old Sheng Leyun seemed to see the contradictions of adults, and her grandmother asked her to take her younger brother and Sister Hui to play in the garden. She took Sheng Leyu, who was excited, and Sheng Lehui, who was at a loss, and followed Mother Kang out of Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion.

Mrs. Sheng said to Miss Qin Yi who asked for peace: "Sister Yi, go back too." ”

Qin Yi said yes and hurriedly retreated. Very sensible.

When only Sheng Xiuyi and his wife and the second master Sheng Xiuhai were left in the room, Mrs. Sheng sighed and said to Dong Jin: "Ah Jin, being a mother is the most difficult. ^//^ The son who is almost thirty is like a child, and you have to maintain his dignity and protect his daughter. He has no parents above and no children below. but you will cover it for him in every way. He may not be grateful for everything you do for him, when you are hypocritical! ”

These words are all for the second master.

The second master knelt down with a puff: "Mother, the child is not filial......"

"That's it!" Before the second master's words fell, Mrs. Sheng interrupted him, her voice was still gentle, "You didn't come out of my belly, I didn't work hard to give birth to you and raise you." Where can I stand your filial piety? ”

When the second master heard this, he kowtowed to Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng leaned on the large ink pillow, as if she couldn't see it. said to Sheng Xiuyi: "You go to the outer courtyard to take a look, your father has not come back, go and inquire if the court has arrived." If he goes, send a servant to pick him up and let him come back from the court. ”

Then he said, "Ah Ming, there is something in your yard, go back." ”

Dong Ying and Sheng Xiuyi both said yes, saluted Mrs. Sheng, and withdrew.

"Lord Shizi. I'll go back first. Dong Ying took the maid Rose and broke up with Sheng Xiuyi at the fork in the road.

The master and servant walked back, and Rose told Dongyu what Dongyu had asked her to inquire about last night.

"The mother-in-law who is keeping vigil at the door, from the beginning of the morning to the beginning of the morning, can't leave the door for a moment." Rose whispered to Dong Ming, "This is the rule that Hou Ye established five years ago. At that time, the mothers-in-law in the family didn't care, so the Hou Ye asked the nurses to check at any time, and if they were a little slow, they would be killed......"

As she spoke, Rose trembled in her heart. She paused before continuing: "After killing seven or eight mothers-in-law, everyone didn't dare to slack off. Over the years, Hou Ye has often had to check. The rules set up at home, where the rules are wrong, the maids and mothers-in-law don't have to live......"

When Dong Yu heard this, he was also shocked, and said, "Go back and tell these words to the people in our courtyard." Although you are my companion, you are also a person from the Sheng Mansion now, if you violate the rules of the Hou Ye, even if the Hou Ye sees my face and spares it, I will not spare it. ”

What's more, Dong Ying felt that Sheng Changhou would not give her face at all.

The practice of taking her people is just right to deter the backyard.

Rose said yes.

At noon, Sheng Xiuyi did not return.

After lunch, Dong Yu rested for a while, and Sheng Xiuyi's aunt and children came to greet her.

The four aunts were beautifully dressed, and the three children were courteous.

The five-year-old second young master, Sheng Leyu, took his sister's hand and jumped in lively. He still wore the collar given to him by Dong Yu on his neck, and his little pink face was smiling innocently, and after he entered the door and awkwardly saluted Dong Jin, he threw himself into her arms and called his mother sweetly.

The clear eyes and immature voice made Dong Yu's somewhat depressed mood inexplicably much better.

"Mother, the gardenias we picked." He didn't wait for Sheng Leyun to speak, he pointed to the small flower basket in Sheng Leyun's hand and smiled at Dong Yu. It's very interesting.

"Mother, grandmother asked you to wear it." Sheng Leyun was a little restrained, and handed the wicker basket to Dongyu.

The flower basket made of fresh wicker, small and exquisite, and full of greenery, Dong Yu held it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and asked Sheng Leyun: "Who made this basket?" It's so beautiful......"

Before Sheng Leyun could answer, Sheng Leyu, who was in Dongyu's arms, said first: "It was made up by the eldest sister." Mother, the eldest sister can make up a lot of things. ”

"Really?" Dong Ying was surprised and asked Sheng Leyun, "What else will you make up?" ”

Sheng Leyun was a little nervous, she couldn't make up her mind about Dongjin's attitude, she didn't know whether her smile was kind or disguised, and she was speechless for a while.

"Grandma, the eldest lady's nurse Dai's mother will make these up, and the eldest lady also learns to make up a few to make Mrs. happy. When I grow up, I will learn needlework and spinning, and I will no longer knit it, but I will only weave a few baskets......" Aunt Tao, who was sitting in the second place under the edge of the kang, got up with a smile and replied for Sheng Leyun.

Sheng Leyun seemed to have met a savior, and hurriedly said: "Yes, mother, I don't do much of this now." "It's as if this is not doing business, and I'm afraid that Dongyu will blame him.

When the eldest lady was hesitant, Aunt Tao spoke decisively and helped the eldest lady make a decision.

Sheng Leyun was hesitating just now, should she deny it or tell the truth, right? She wasn't sure if Dongjin was praising her or blaming her, right?

But as soon as Aunt Tao spoke, Sheng Leyun was immediately guided by her and thought of Dong Yin's punishment.

This Dow is really powerful!

Dong Ying thought, the smile on his face did not decrease, and said to Sheng Leyun: "It's a pity, I still want you to teach me." I heard that people who can make things up are very smart, and Sister Yun is really amazing. ”

Sheng Leyun was a little surprised, and her face was slightly red, saying that her mother was too famous.

"Aunt Tao is very familiar with the eldest lady and the second young master, right?" Dong Yu asked Tao with a smile again.

Tao said yes with a smile, his expression was not half panicked, and said: "The eldest young master, the eldest young lady and the second young master are all masters, I often pay attention to these and try my best to serve the masters well." ”

"Aunt Tao is a caring person." Dong Yu praised with a smile.

Dow's expression paused for a moment before he smiled and said, "It's what I should do." ”

Dongyu's smile became more and more gentle and soft, and she said to the other aunts: "Aunt Tao is right, you also learn, know what you should do and what you shouldn't do, and do your duty well in order to serve your master well." ”

It seems to be praising Aunt Tao.

Xue Jiangwan, Aunt Shao, and Aunt Fan all got up.

Aunt Tao's expression finally became a little unnatural. Although Dongyu's words were sincere, she could hear her sarcasm. She paused in her heart, and her impression of this big grandmother changed again. A few days ago, she arranged the day, and Aunt Tao thought she would be a person. Now it seems that he is not only a man, but also a person with a kind face, a heart and a good word.

Xue Jiangwan and Aunt Shao also thought that Dongyu was praising Aunt Tao, and they had their own feelings.

Xue Jiangwan was a little unhappy, she secretly scolded Dong Yu in her heart, she didn't suppress this aunt who gave birth to a son and was favored, and she still promoted her in front of everyone.

Aunt Shao was happy that Aunt Tao had won the approval of the housemother.

Only the smile in Aunt Fan's eyes was a little narrow.

The eldest lady Sheng Leyun and the second young master Sheng Leyu didn't understand either, and laughed with everyone.

The eldest young master, Sheng Lehao, raised his eyes and looked at Dongyu, and quickly lowered his head.

Dong Yu's eyes swept over lightly, and he took everyone's expressions in his eyes and smiled slightly. She asked Rose to give the gardenias in the small basket to the aunts.

Everyone picked one and put it in their sideburns.

Only Xue Jiangwan held it in his hand.

Dongyu asked her, "Don't you like Aunt Xue?" ”

Xue Jiangwan said with a smile: "I don't look good, I can't hold up flowers, and I'm wearing vulgar powder." "She's laughing at the other aunts for being vulgar fans.

Aunt Shao didn't understand it very well, but Tao and Fan understood it.

Aunt Tao was naturally silent, and the young Aunt Fan was a little unhappy on her face.

Dong Yu smiled: "Aunt Xue is still the fastest update of the Daishu Book House." Flowers and Hua have the same sound, which means wealth and glory, and they should only be auspicious. ”

The eldest young master, Sheng Lehao, raised his eyes and looked at Dongyu again.

Xue Jiangwan couldn't disobey again, so he had to stick it in his sideburns.

After talking for a while, Dongyu looked a little tired, so he let them go separately.

Aunt Tao stood up and said, "Sister, the embroidery on your skirt is really meticulous, can you teach me?" ”

She had something to say to Dongyu alone.

Everyone also understood and took their leave.

Dongyu left Aunt Tao behind.

"It's the prince's business." When everyone in the house had gone, Dongyu bluntly asked her what was the matter, she smiled softly and told Dongjin.
