Sheng Lehao was a little surprised.

He saw the tenderness in Dongyi's eyes, his tone was very sincere, and after thinking about it, he said softly: "Mr. said, self-cultivation and self-denial." A countryman should have a backbone, live in, be rich, do something, do nothing for the poor, and don't take anything from the poor. Self-cultivation first, and then speech, morality, and meritorious service. ”

The smile in Dongyi's eyes became more and more intense, and he said: "Yes, a countryman should have a backbone, but how can a gentleman deny himself?" ”

When Sheng Lehao heard this, he suddenly realized what his grandmother wanted to say, and his voice became more and more calm, and said: "Don't look at incivility, don't listen to incivility, don't speak incivility, and don't move incivility." ”

Sheng Leyu and Sheng Leyun saw that their brother was exporting, and they all looked at him with slight envy.

After Sheng Lehao finished speaking, he glanced at Sheng Leyu.

Sheng Leyu raised his pink little face and asked, "Big brother, Brother Yu is also going to study......

Dong Yu said with a smile: "Brother Yu will go to the outer courtyard to study next year, and he will be as knowledgeable as his eldest brother." Do you know what Big Brother Fang meant? ”

Sheng Leyu shook his head very honestly, wrapped his arms around Dongyu, climbed on her, and asked with a sweet smile: "Mother, Brother Yu didn't study, so I can't understand ......."

Dong Yu smiled and roughly explained the sentences such as indecent disregard in the vernacular.

Then asked Sheng Leyu: "Brother Yu, what do you mean?" ”

Sheng Leyu was still confused.

Sheng Leyun on the side said tentatively: "Brother Yu, you just overheard your grandfather getting angry, it was not a gentleman's doing. That's not good......"

Sheng Leyu's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Dong Yu as if he were verifying.

Dong Ying bowed his head slightly, and Kua Sheng Leyun was right.

Sheng Leyun's somewhat awkward expression was relieved, and she lowered her head and smiled lightly.

"Then ......," Sheng Leyu panicked, "then can't I be the champion?" ”

As he spoke, he was about to cry.

Dongyu couldn't help but laugh.

Sheng Lehao and Sheng Leyun were also amused by Sheng Leyu's expression, and the brother and sister pursed their lips.

Dong Ying~~-~~ hugged him and said with a smile: "Brother Yu just listened to it once, just change it next time." It's okay this time......"

Sheng Leyu hurriedly asked: "Then I won't eavesdrop on others in the future." Can I still be a champion? The tone was urgent.

Dong Ying nodded his head very affirmatively: "Yes." ”

Sheng Leyu didn't seem to believe it, and turned his head to look at Sheng Lehao.

Sheng Lehao couldn't help laughing: "Brother Yu will listen to his mother in the future, be filial to his mother, and don't eavesdrop on others." When you grow up, you will be the champion. ”

Sheng Leyu was relieved at this time, and nodded like pounding garlic: "I don't listen to others anymore, I am filial to my mother." ”

Rose on the side saw Sheng Leyu climbing on Dong Yuan's body, and she was always worried, so she dared to step forward to hug Sheng Leyu at this moment, and said with a smile: "Second young master, grandma is tired." Slave and maid carry you down, okay? ”

Sheng Leyu hurriedly said yes, and went down with Rose's hand.

Dong Yu felt a little tired in his eyes, so he asked the three of them to go back to the house.

The three brothers and sisters came out of the Jingshi Courtyard, and followed Sheng Lehao's little maid Yanyu to greet them.

Sheng Leyun and Sheng Leyu live in the inner courtyard, each with a nurse to follow.

Saying goodbye to Sheng Leyu and Sheng Leyun, Sheng Lehao took the little girl Yanyu to the outer courtyard.

Sheng Leyu called his eldest brother behind his back.

"Big brother, I'll go play in your yard." Sheng Leyu shook off Sheng Leyun's hand. Running towards Sheng Lehao with small steps.

He didn't wait for Sheng Lehao to agree, so he took Sheng Lehao's hand and pulled him away.

Mother Su, who followed Sheng Leyu's nurse, hurriedly stepped forward, half-squatted down and said to Sheng Leyu: "Second young master." If you want to go to the outer courtyard to play, you should also pay attention to Madame. Otherwise, Madame would have worried. ”

Sheng Leyun also advised: "Brother Yu, the eldest brother wants to study, let's go another day." ”

Sheng Leyu didn't follow, wrapped his arms around Sheng Lehao, and hid his head on Sheng Lehao's body: "I'm going to my eldest brother's yard, I want to study with my eldest brother......"

He is still young and doesn't know the hard work of studying, but he just sees Sheng Le Hao exporting. Envious.

Sheng Le Hao couldn't cry or laugh.

Mother Su, Sheng Leyun and Sheng Leyun's nurse Mother Dai were all on the side to persuade Sheng Leyu to be unrelenting.

Sheng Lehao had no choice but to say: "...... I took him to greet my grandmother, and then my grandmother. ”

Sheng Leyun frowned and stopped Sheng Lehao: "Big brother, grandfather went back to the inner courtyard early, in Yuanyang Pavilion." Just now when my second brother and I went to say goodbye. Xiang Zhi didn't let us in......"

That is to say, Marquis Sheng Chang and Mrs. Sheng have private words that others can't bother.

Sheng Leyu was glued tightly, Sheng Lehao had no choice, so he had to take him with him.

Sheng Leyun has always taken care of the young Sheng Leyu, so she also followed.

So Sheng Leyun and Sheng Leyu's nurses and maids all followed, and the group went to Sheng Lehao's courtyard together.

After the children left, Dongjin's mood of trying to calm down surged again.

Did something happen to Sheng Xiuyi?

The strange man Biqiu said when she came back was not the one sent back by Sheng Xiuyi?

Thinking about it, his heart burned with fire, and he couldn't wait to go to Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion to ask about the situation immediately.

But just now Sheng Leyu said that Sheng Changhou was in Yuanyang Pavilion and was angry. Besides, when Mother Kang told Mrs. Sheng about the situation, she gave Mrs. Sheng a look to open Dongyi.

I don't want her to know.

Sheng Changhou was still on fire, and Dong Ying didn't want to touch the mold.

She reclined on a large pillow with heavy brocade and closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Thinking that she was tired, Rose put a thin coat on her, fearing that she would catch a cold.

Dong Yu didn't bother to open his eyes, thinking about his thoughts alone.

When the bell rang, Rose told her to get up and go to greet Madame Sheng.

Changed into a moon-white folded branch begonia pattern gown, Dong Ying held Rose's hand, and a little maid followed them to Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion.

She entered the house and saw a room full of people.

Sheng Changhou's face was tense, and his expression was very unsightly; Mrs. Sheng tried to laugh with her; The third master, Sheng Xiumu, sat on the Taishi chairs in a row along the kang.

Above him, sat a man in a bluestone-colored cocoon silk jacket.

Dong Yu's heart moved, is it the person Biqiu came back to say?

Could it really be someone sent back by Sheng Xiuyi......

Her steps suddenly froze.

She saluted Mrs. Sheng and Marquis Sheng Chang, and then saluted the third master.

The third master returned the salute, and pointed to the man in Tsing Yi and said to Dongyu: "Sister-in-law, this is the cousin of my hometown, and I only came from Huizhou today." ”

Is it someone from Huizhou's hometown?

The breath that Dong Yu was carrying in his heart slowly fell, it was not good news that Sheng Xiuyi was not good.

She didn't have time to look at the big brother, so she bowed to him.

This hall brother returned the gift to Dongyi.

When he sat down, Dongyu glanced at him. Between the eyebrows and Sheng Changhou, there seemed to be two or three points of similarity, but his face was bitter. I don't see the joy of visiting relatives.

When Dongyu sat down, the room was quiet again, and no one spoke.

Mrs. Sheng had no choice but to find something to say, saying that the guihuā cake sent by Dongyu in the afternoon was delicious. Very appetizing and asked her how she did it.

Dong Ying smiled: "The guihuā in the courtyard opened, and I picked the fresh ones." Luo's mother made it, she made a good pastry. ”

Mrs. Sheng smiled: "I'm old, and I love such easy-to-temperate pastries. Go back and let Mother Luo teach me how to cook here......"

Higashi-dori Road is.

Then, there was another silence.

Mrs. Sheng had no choice but to say again: "Ah Ming, you go back first." It's dark and it's hard to walk on the road. You're a double man again. ”

Dong Ying felt that this "cousin" was unusual, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that she was uncomfortable. It's not bad news for Sheng Xiuyi, her heart is relaxed, and she doesn't want to stay longer.

Mrs. Sheng opened her mouth and asked her to go back first, she couldn't wait, so she hurriedly got up and saluted Sheng Changhou and Mrs. Sheng, the third master and the lobby brother, and withdrew.

The Sheng family is in their hometown?

Except for Kang's mother, all the maids in the family bought them after going to Beijing. I can't ask if I want to. And it didn't matter to himself, Dong Yu walked slowly and returned to Jingshi Hospital.

Sheng Xiuyi has been gone for so long. There is only one letter.

Since then, there has been no news.

The next day, after breakfast, I went to greet Mrs. Sheng, and when we chatted, Dong Yu asked what the lobby brother was doing.

"Brother Chen went to Beijing to do some private affairs, and by the way, he came to see us." Mrs. Sheng smiled and said to Dongyu, "Uncle has been gone for many years, and Huizhou is far away from Kyoto, so they don't usually come much. ”

Dong Yu smiled.

She heard Mrs. Sheng call the lobby brother Brother Chen, and speculated that his full name should be Sheng Xiuchen.

Sheng Wenhui, Hou of Shengchang, has two younger brothers, the second uncle is called Sheng Wenming, who is a small official in Kyoto; The third uncle, Sheng Wenqing, is a Sven reader. I have never entered the office, and I live in Kyoto, not far from the Shengchang Marquis Mansion.

I didn't hear that Sheng Wenhui still has a big brother.

"I haven't heard of an uncle in Huizhou......" Dongyu saw that Mrs. Sheng's expression darkened slightly when she talked about the uncle's family, and she didn't dare to ask deeply, so she had to say a casual greeting, ready to find a way to say something.

Mrs. Sheng said: "Uncle is the cousin of Master Hou. It's been more than ten years. His heirs are thin, and he only has a brother to serve in front of your aunt. Your aunt's surname is Cheng, a native of Huizhou, and she refused to leave her hometown, so she didn't come to Kyoto with us. Stay in the hometown and guard the house. ”

Dong Yu sighed.

Two months passed in a peaceful day, and Shengjing entered the winter moon.

On the ninth day of the winter month, Dong Ying drew a circle on the book on the desk.

Sheng Xiuyi's trip to the northwest has been a full five months. If things are done, he will start to leave for Beijing now, and he may be able to catch up with the birth of Dongyuan's child.

She's seven months old.

If you can't, you're going to miss it.

The weather was terrifyingly hazy, with black clouds pressing down on all sides, and the cold wind cut his face like a knife.

After the weather turned cold, Mrs. Sheng asked her to go to Yuanyang Pavilion every day when she was free, so as to avoid saying hello in the morning and evening. I was afraid that the road would slip in the dark and hurt her body.

Dong Ying also agreed. No matter how windy or rainy, I have to go to Mrs. Sheng to sit at the beginning of every day.

Mrs. Sheng blamed her.

She said that she was bored and panicked and wanted to talk to her mother. She insisted very much, and Mrs. Sheng also let her, but ordered to send a few more maids and wives to accompany her.

On the ninth day of the winter month, I went to Yuanyang Pavilion, and Mrs. Sheng was telling the two little maids to pack up their burdens.

"Mother, is Daddy going out?" After Dong Ying saluted Mrs. Sheng, she saw a man's fur jacket wrapped in a bag on the kang, so she asked Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng looked sad: "No, Brother Mu is going out." Your eldest aunt in Huizhou is gone. Brother Yi and Master Hou couldn't go back, so let Brother Mu go back to see her off. ”

The third master Sheng Xiumu has an errand.

And after the second master Sheng Xiuhai was beaten up last time because of Miss Yuan's affairs, he has been "bedridden" and has not done errands, and is idle at home.

"Is the second master going too?" Dong Ying asked.

Mrs. Sheng paused slightly, sighed and said, "Brother Hai suffered some wind and cold, and he couldn't hurry, so he let Brother Mu go." ”
