Section 216 Affair (1)
Dong Ying entered the palace and told the queen that Sheng Xiuyi was willing to follow in the footsteps of Old Marquis Xue.
Sheng Xiuyi will not disobey the queen. The Sheng family will only follow Old Marquis Xue, no matter where the direction of the wind is biased, Sheng Xiuyi will follow Old Marquis Xue. If the queen is dissatisfied with the government, she can't blame Sheng Xiuyi.
Sheng Xiuyi is just the young master of the crown prince, just following the Xue family.
Since then, the queen mother has indeed never summoned Dongyu into the palace.
She probably understood it, too.
Emperor Yuanchang was afraid that his life would be short, and he was anxious to pave the way for the crown prince, so he advocated innovation. He thought that he would definitely get the support of Old Marquis Xue.
After all, he believed that such an innovation would definitely be beneficial to the crown prince.
But Old Marquis Xue was the most resolute in the opposition voice.
Old Marquis Xue is more sober than Emperor Yuanchang, and the current innovation will not make the prince stable in the future, but will leave endless troubles for the prince.
Emperor Yuanchang, who had finally recovered a little, was so angry that he vomited blood again and passed out. After that, his consciousness became more and more unclear, and he was no longer able to go to court.
Not only was the matter of the prince's selection of concubines delayed, but all the government affairs were handed over to Old Marquis Xue and Qin Shangshu.
These things that happened later, Dong Ying learned from Sheng Xiuyi's simple description. Her life is still between inches and inches of the mansion in the Sheng Mansion.
The first day of March next year is the wedding date of the third master Sheng Xiumu, and Dongyu has been helping Mrs. Lin Sheng prepare for the third master's marriage.
The courtyard of the third master is built in the southeast of Yuanyang Pavilion, which is the closest to Yuanyang Pavilion and has been basically completed.
The Marquis of Sheng Chang discussed Sheng Xiuyi and Sheng Xiumu what to name the courtyard.
Sheng Xiuyi only said that he listened to his father.
The third master, Sheng Xiumu, has always been resistant to family affairs, and he lazily said that he would be a casual father.
Sheng Changhou could see that their brothers were not careful, and he was angry for a while, and then pressed back again. Since his resignation, Sheng Changhou has been practicing calligraphy and painting from time to time, not to mention the side, his endurance is much better than before, and his temper is quite restrained.
He thought about it for himself. said to Sheng Xiuyi: "Brother Mu'er's courtyard is called Mu Enyuan." ”
Sheng Xiumu's title is Mu Enbo.
It can be seen that Sheng Changhou is also too lazy to bother with Sheng Xiumu.
Sheng Xiuyi said yes, and then told the name to Lin Jiufu, the steward of the outer courtyard, and asked someone to carve a plaque back.
Pass to the inner court. Mrs. Sheng heard that the courtyard of the third master will be called Mu'en Courtyard in the future, but she likes it.
The next day, when everyone in the family went to ask for peace, Sheng Changhou was also there, and Mrs. Sheng talked about the third master's courtyard and praised Sheng Changhou's good name.
The third master couldn't help but roll his eyes, he didn't dare to laugh if he wanted to laugh.
Sheng Xiuyi looked upright, as if he didn't understand. Nodding his head in accord with Mrs. Sheng's compliment.
Dong Yu, the second grandmother Ge Shi and the second grandfather Sheng Xiuhai couldn't help laughing, and all three of them lowered their heads and snickered.
Mrs. Sheng obviously gave Sheng Changhou such a cheer, which made people feel that she had an almost childlike love for Sheng Changhou.
When you are older, you like to listen to flattery. The children are reluctant to say it, only the wife is willing to cheer.
Where is a good name? It is clearly a direct use of the title given by the emperor.
Although I wanted to laugh when I heard it, I felt that they were very affectionate and sweet, and Dongyu and the second grandmother and others were all moved. Young couples are old companions, and they can still think about each other so much at this age. Isn't it happiness?
The second grandmother thought about it, and couldn't help but glance back at the second master.
The husband who always feels uncompetitive on weekdays seems to be indescribably down-to-earth at the moment. She couldn't help but smile.
Sheng Changhou listened to Mrs. Sheng's exaggerated praise. He coughed awkwardly, but did not refute Mrs. Sheng's words.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became warm.
Sheng Changhou glanced at his son and daughter-in-law, he was not used to seeing the eldest son's taciturnity, the second son's gloomy grace, and the third son's impatience, but now looking at them all looking thoughtful and well-dressed, they are all beautiful sons, rare talents, and there is a kind of comfort in his heart.
The mentality has changed, and the children feel different.
"You don't have to stay here, just get busy." Sheng Changhou got up. To all people.
He himself walked out first.
And they took their leave.
Dong Ying went back to Jingshi Courtyard, first looked at Brother Cheng, and then played with Brother Cheng for a while, then took out a needle and thread to make a horse coat for Sheng Lehao.
A seemingly simple piece of clothing, Dong Yu has been sewing for six days. It's almost time to call it a day.
In the afternoon, Kankan finished doing it, and hurriedly took out Sheng Leyun's gauntlet to do it.
The maids served on the side, and Orange even said, "Grandma, I'll do it for you, right?" You've been doing this with your head down lately, beware of a sore neck. ”
These little things, although they are not very worked, are very laborious.
For the first time, Dong Ying did the work for Sheng Xiuyi's children, and he didn't want to be honest, so he did every stitch and thread by himself.
"No, I don't." Dong Ying smiled, and then remembered what he said a few days ago, and made a look at the Rose and the others, and asked them all to go out to get busy, leaving only Orange Red in front of him.
Orange Red suddenly felt uncomfortable.
She had already known from Xun Fang that Dong Ying had paid attention to her going back, and she had specially asked.
"You sit down." Dongyu pointed to the little brocade next to the kang and said to Tang Hong, "Let's talk." ”
Orange refused to sit down, and reluctantly smiled: "You say, I'll stand and listen." ”
Dong Yu was no longer reluctant. The needle was a little sharp, Dong Ying wiped it on his head, carefully threaded the needle and thread, and asked Tang Hong casually: "Last time I went back, did your mother-in-law say anything about you?" ”
Orange Hong knew that she couldn't hide it, and she wasn't going to tell a lie, so she lowered her voice and said after a while: "Zuo is still those words." Erzhuang's personality is very cold, and my mother-in-law knows it, so she doesn't talk about her son, she just talks about me and won't coax him......"
said, it was full of grievances.
The needle and thread in Dongyu's hand paused slightly.
"Does Erzhuang know that your mother-in-law is always talking about you behind your back?" Dong Ying continued to do his work, and did not look up and asked Orange Hongdao.
Orange Hong didn't expect Dongyu to ask like this, and was a little surprised. Thinking about it, it seems that Erzhuang knows. She said: "Every time my mother-in-law talks about me, he knows it...... He would tell me, don't listen to my mother. My mother is old and very verbose. ”
This kind of unsalty and unpleasant words can't comfort the unhappiness brought by her mother-in-law to Tangerhong, so Tangerhong never took Erzhuang's words to heart.
His comfort was of no use to her.
Now that Dongyu mentioned this, Tang Hong remembered that Erzhuang is such a stuffy gourd, and he actually comforts himself every time, isn't it rare?
Is it something that you have overlooked?
Thinking about it, her face was hot, and her resentment towards her husband, who was like a wooden man, suddenly decreased a little.
Dong Ying listened to Orange Hong's words, then put down the needle and thread, and pulled her to sit on the kang opposite her.
"Have you not liked Erzhuang since you got married?" Dong Ying asked Orange Red in a low voice. The two seem to have returned to their childhood, Dong Ying is still the little girl, holding Orange Hong's hand, and telling Orange Hong that she has nothing to do with it, writing and embroidering are not tired at all, as long as her grandmother is happy.
Orange Hong seemed to see the young lady she had served since she was a child, and the familiar smile warmed her heart.
What do you like and dislike?
Thinking about it, Orange Blushed and bowed her head slightly, not knowing how to answer.
"Are you not interested in Erzhuang?" Dongyu saw that she was very ashamed, so she asked a different way.
"He always doesn't speak." Orange Hong muttered after a while, "I don't know what is going on in my heart, I can't say two words a day, and he doesn't understand if you treat him well." I don't have any hope for living with him......"
It's like throwing a small gravel into a big lake, and in a moment the ripples disappear, and there are no waves at all. Orange Hong didn't respond to her husband's warmth, so she naturally felt unbalanced.
Moreover, judging from Dazhuang's appearance, Erzhuang, as the younger brother of the twins, should not be a good-looking man. She is not handsome, and she is like a wood, and it is enough to embarrass her by asking a young woman to pay for Orange Hong.
They only met when they got married, and Orange Red was not chasing after her to marry Erzhuang.
Dazhuang and Tangerine are in love again, which makes Tangerine even more frustrated, and she is becoming more and more dissatisfied with her husband.
"Look, such a wooden man, I still know that you have been wronged, so don't think about it......" Dongyu said softly, "Your mother-in-law didn't talk about you in front of Erzhuang, right?" You have been wronged behind your back, and he understands it in his heart. Whether you are good or bad to him, he knows it in his heart. Some people just don't like to talk. But I know in my heart, isn't it rare? It's better than those who are slippery on the lips but confused in their hearts? ”
Orange also regretted her indifference to her husband.
Unless her husband is gone, the man is going to live with her for the rest of his life. Of course, she also hopes that the relationship between the two will be more harmonious.
Now that Dongyu is like this, Tangerine suddenly realizes that she is also a wooden person.
Maybe Erzhuang is like her and wants to live a good life. As a result, Erzhuang is not good at expression, and Orange Red is also a stuffy gourd, and the life of the two of them is getting worse and worse.
Orange nodded sullenly: "Grandma, I know ......"
Dong Ying slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She said: "You, Tangerine Xiang, and Luo's mother served me when I was very young, except for my ancestors, you are the closest to me in the family." I don't have any skills, I can't say what I can give you in the future, and I always hope that you will live a comfortable life. Tangerine has a smooth life, I am happy; I'm sad that you're like that. The husband and wife live, he is willing to accommodate you a little, and you will be more wronged for him, he understands in his heart that you are not wronged, right? You're all doing well, and I'm relieved. ”
With a serious speech, Orange Red couldn't help but be moved.
She nodded slowly: "Grandma, I understand." After the New Year, everything is arranged here, and I will go out. I don't let you worry. ”
Dong Ying patted her hand lightly and smiled.
The two were talking, and while Dong Ying was doing needlework, she listened to Orange Hong talk about her mother-in-law and her husband, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the aunts to say goodbye.
Rose, who was serving outside, said that Aunt Shao, Aunt Xue, Aunt Fan and others were here, so Dong Ying asked Orange Hong to collect the needlework and dustpan and meet the three aunts.
The three of them were all dressed tightly and behaved to greet Dongyu.
"Grandma, the slave maid made two pairs of shoes for the prince and you." Aunt Shao stepped forward and handed over a green cloth bag to Dongyu to see. (To be continued)
