The man named Yongxuan hurriedly saluted Mrs. Sheng and said with a smile: "Aunt Sheng, I haven't seen you for a few years, are you okay?" ”

Mrs. Sheng laughed, invited him to sit on the kang, and instructed the maid to make a good Pu'er, and said with a smile: "I see, I have been to Wantong Mansion for a few years, and it has darkened a little ......."

Then he looked at Sheng Xiuyi as if seeking verification.

Sheng Xiuyi's tone was flat and gentle: "It's darker." ”

Yongxuan said with a smile: "Aunt Sheng, you don't know, I often have to take the people under my rule to the fields and fields, and I also dug a cave to live in with my own hands, where can I compare to the days of studying in Shengjing?" ”

As he spoke, his afterglow drifted to Xue Dongyu, who was standing aside.

Sheng Xiuyi saw it in his eyes and introduced Dongyu and said, "This is clumsy. ”

Yongxuan got up, gave Dong Yu another look, and called his sister-in-law.

"This is my classmate from yesterday's meeting, called Cheng Yongxuan." Sheng Xiuyi said to Dongyi again.

is not only a classmate, but I am afraid that he is still a close friend, and he used to come to Sheng's house to play. Looking at Mrs. Sheng's attitude, she should like Cheng Yongxuan very much.

Dongyu bowed his knees and saluted him back.

After Cheng Yongxuan gave Dongyu a courtesy, Mrs. Sheng then asked him interesting things about the northwest.

After talking for a long time, Sheng Changhou and Sheng Xiumu, the third master of the Sheng family, came back from the next court.

Cheng Yongxuan hurriedly got up and gave their father and son a hand.

Sheng Xiumu was also happy when he saw Cheng Yongxuan, and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Yongxuan's brother is much faster than before. Is it hard to endure in the west? ”

Sheng Changhou also had a smile in his eyes.

Cheng Yongxuan said: "Didn't you also stay in the Northwest Military Camp for three years?" If you ask such a question, it is clearly schadenfreude! ”

The third master, Sheng Xiumu, laughed.

Sheng Changhou also smiled and said to Cheng Yongxuan: "Living here today, I have something to ask you." ”

Cheng Yongxuan has just returned from the northwest, and Sheng Xiuyi is about to go to the northwest. What Sheng Changhou wants to ask is about the situation in the northwest.

Cheng Yongxuan didn't refuse, yes.

Mrs. Sheng instructed the maid to go to the kitchen to add vegetables, and left Cheng Yongxuan to eat in Yuanyang Pavilion today. Then he asked someone to move the Taishi chair, and several people sat down one after another.

Dong Yu sat quietly at the back.

"Tianhe, the matter of your journey to the west. Today, the emperor has been approved. The journey began on the ninth day of June. Sheng Changhou said, with a faint smile on his face, "You prepare early." ”

Sheng Xiuyi said yes, not surprised. Everything was expected.

Cheng Yongxuan said: "Yesterday, Tianhe told me about the westward journey. It's just that Xiao Xuanxiao, the eldest son of Mrs. Xiao, is known for being brave and resourceful, and he has far-reaching strategies and martial arts in the Northwest Army. I just had a change of office. There is no vacancy for a while, so it is better for me to go west with the sky and the west, what does Uncle Sheng think? ”

Sheng Changhou's eyes lit up. Smiled: "Okay, good! So the best! ”

I am very satisfied with Cheng Yongxuan.

Dong Yu couldn't help but wonder, what kind of background did this person come from, so that he was liked by everyone in the Sheng family.

The topic of Sheng Changhou and others always revolved around the current situation in the northwest, and Dongyu couldn't interject, so he quietly retreated and instructed the maid to make new tea and add tea to them.

At noon, I had lunch at Yuanyang Pavilion. Sheng Changhou and Sheng Xiumu had to go to Yamen in the afternoon, so they took the first step.

Sheng Xiuyi sent Cheng Yongxuan out. Seeing that Mrs. Sheng was a little tired, Dong Yu also retreated with Sheng Xiuyi and Cheng Yongxuan.

Seeing the maid Ziwei who followed Dongyu, Cheng Yongxuan's expression was slightly paused.

Then, he looked at Ziwei twice, as if he wanted to see her appearance clearly.

Ziwei lowered her head deeply.

Dong Yu was a little unhappy in his heart.

Sheng Xiuyi also found out, frowning slightly.

When they broke up at the fork in the road, Sheng Xiuyi sent Cheng Yongxuan to the outer courtyard, and Dongyu and Ziwei went back to the inner courtyard.

Sheng Xiuyi saw that Dongyi's master and servant were walking away, so he asked Cheng Yongxuan with a smile: "You weren't such a person before, why are you staring at the clumsy maid today." What's the idea? ”

Cheng Yongxuan was also a quick and wise person, and said with a smile: "It looks good." Would you like to reward me? ”

Sheng Xiuyi smiled meaningfully: "You are not such a person. Something unspeakable? ”

Cheng Yongxuan's smile became deeper: "It's hard to say." I just didn't look carefully, I don't know if it's this person. Can you give it to me, that maid? ”

Sheng Xiuyi shook his head: "Like someone?" It was a clumsy dowry, and I wanted to ask her. ”

Cheng Yongxuan stopped saying this.

Sheng Xiuyi understood that he refused to tell the truth, probably because he thought there was something wrong with that maid. He has known Cheng Yongxuan since he was a teenager, and the two have been classmates for seven years, Cheng Yongxuan is not the kind of person who can't move when he sees sex.

If he was that kind of person, he would also look at Dongyu and show a strange appearance, not the young and clumsy maid.

When Sheng Xiuyi sent Cheng Yongxuan out of the gate of the Shengchang Marquis Mansion, Cheng Yongxuan paused and said to Sheng Xiuyi: "Tianhe, you and I are close friends, I have always been honest with you." You're right, there's something I won't tell you, it's not that you're a friend, it's just not enough. That maid, you ask your sister-in-law what she means, is it good to reward me? ”

When he said this, Sheng Xiuyi smiled and said, "I'll go back and ask." You've opened your mouth, so naturally I won't be reluctant to give up a maid. ”

Sheng Xiuyi sent Cheng Yongxuan, thought about it, and went to the Zhenxian Marquis Mansion again.

He wanted to tell Old Marquis Xue about part of his plan for his trip to the northwest.

I met the old marquis Xue in the study of the outer courtyard of the Xue family, and after talking for half an afternoon, the old marquis Xue stayed in the outer courtyard for dinner, and Sheng Xiuyi returned to the Shengchang Marquis Mansion.

After going to greet his parents, he went back to the Jingshi Hospital.

Today is still Xue Jiang's late day, but she was grounded, and Sheng Xiuyi couldn't be happy.

After coming back, Sheng Xiuyi told Dong Yu what Cheng Yongxuan said and asked her: "Is she powerful by your side?" If you are willing, you will be given a few more maids next time, and you will be reluctant to forget it...... Yongxuan is not a ridiculous person, and your maid gave it to him, which can be regarded as a future. ”

To be small for the old man is more decent than to be a wife for the steward or the little servant, which is the hierarchical concept of the whole era.

became the wife of a slave, and she is still a slave; is the master's little wife, even if she is half a master.

Dongyu was not very happy in her heart, but Sheng Xiuyi asked her for it, and she couldn't help but give it. That Cheng Yongxuan seems to have some ability, Sheng Changhou values him very much, and he must be beneficial to Sheng Xiuyi's career in the future.

"Yes. Tell him to pick a day and take it. Dong Ying smiled, "I'll find out her deed of sale now?" ”

"Don't be busy, it's okay if you agree, I'll go back and ask him, choose a date." Sheng Xiu said, and then frowned. Asked Dongyu: "Do you think that maid is any different?" In addition to her martial arts......"

Dong Ying thought for a moment. Shaking his head, he said, "Didn't you notice that Ziwei doesn't talk much?" She seemed to stutter a little. ”

Sheng Xiuyi really didn't pay attention to this.

He thought about it, didn't say anything, and went to the clean room to wash. Rest here in Dongyi.

The two were lying down, and Dong Ying asked Sheng Xiuyi what the identity of the person named Cheng Yongxuan was.

Sheng Xiuyi said: "He is the grandson of General Cheng. Daddy is also a protégé of General Cheng. Later, General Cheng returned to his hometown in Shandong. Cheng Yongxuan stayed in Shengjing alone. He had the same interests as me, and he could talk well in front of my father, and he often came to the house to play. ”

I thought about it. He added, "The eldest daughter of the eldest princess of Wenjing is Cheng Yongxuan's fourth aunt, and he is now in the eldest princess's mansion. ”

Dong Ying bowed slightly.

Sheng Xiuyi turned around, faced her, and carried her into his quilt.

Dongyu's face was slightly hot, and he said softly: "Tianhe, I ......"

Sheng Xiuyi knew what she wanted to say. He whispered, "I don't mean anything else...... Go to sleep. ”

Just hugging her to sleep.

The next morning, Sheng Xiuyi went to the outer courtyard. Mother Luo, Tang Hong, and Tang Xiang came in to serve Dong Ying, and saw that the maids on duty at night were Qiu Wen and Xiao Tao, and Luo's mother asked, "Rose is uncomfortable, where is Ziwei?" ”

As he spoke, he called Autumn Moon in and asked.

There are only two big girls in Dongyu now, Rose and Crape Myrtle.

Qiu Wen said: "Last night, Sister Ziwei arranged for me and Sister Yaotao to be on duty at night, saying that she went out for a walk. Later, the door was closed and she was not seen to return. Grandma and Shiziye fell asleep, and Sister Yaotao and I were afraid of arguing with grandma and Shiziye, so we didn't dare to look for her. ”

Dongyu's heart moved slightly, she didn't say anything, she asked Luo's mother to serve her to comb her hair, and called Tangerine Hong and Tangerine Xiang to serve her to wash and change clothes.

Luo's mother told Qiu Wen to go to Ziwei's house to have a look.

Qiu Wen wen, came back after a while, and said to Dongyu: "Grandma, Sister Ziwei is no longer in the room, and the quilt is also neat, I'm afraid I got up early and went out for a walk, but I want to look for her?" ”

Dong Yu got up and said with a smile: "Are you still afraid that she will lose it?" I'm going to say hello to my wife, and you and Yao Tao will follow me. ”

Then he instructed Luo's mother, "Mom, you find out Ziwei's deed of sale." ”

Luo's mother was taken aback and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'll talk about it when I get back." Dong Ying glanced at the chiming bell on the wall, and was afraid that it would be too late to go to Mrs. Sheng, so he took two second-class maids and hurried out of the door.

When Dongwei came back, Luo's mother had already found out Ziwei's deed of sale, but there was no trace of Ziwei in the morning.

Mother Luo said: "Ziwei is silent on weekdays, but it has never been like today...... Grandma, will you send someone to find her? ”

Dong Ying didn't say anything for a long time.

What a strange thing.

Sheng Xiuyi and Sheng Changhou have a vision for looking at people, that Cheng Yongxuan should not be an anxious person, but he looked at her maid three times in front of Dong Jin.

It can only be said that Ziwei surprised Cheng Yongxuan.

She may be someone Cheng Yongxuan knows.

And the matter of giving Ziwei to Cheng Yongxuan was whispered by Dongyu and Sheng Xiuyi in the inner room, and without the maid in front of her, Ziwei didn't know at all.

But she was missing.

She seems to be running on her own.

When she saw Cheng Yongxuan, she ran away. Is she afraid of Cheng Yongxuan? Afraid of what?

Ziwei is only fourteen years old today, and she was only eleven years old when she entered the Xue family, and Cheng Yongxuan is almost thirty years old, so naturally it is not an emotional matter.

"Mom, go search Ziwei's house and see what is missing from her things." Dongyu Road.

She was eighty percent sure that Ziwei had escaped.

Sure enough, Luo's mother took the maid to search, and came back after a while to say that there were a few sets of clothes missing, and the jewelry, gold and silver were all gone.

"Grandma, will you report to the official?" Luo's mother asked if she ran away from the maid for no reason, so she naturally wanted to report to the official.

Dong Yu paused and said, "I'll talk about it tomorrow." "Tell Luo's mother to take Sheng Xiuyi's middle coat out, and Dong Yu should hurry up and make the clothes for him. To be continued
