Verse 016 Let the maid go

Dong Yu entered the inner room, and the faint plum fragrance was ethereal. In the corner of the wall is still the plate of red plums from last time, dark brown branches, blood plums are blooming, proud of the cold.

The scarf took the two little maids to clean the broken porcelain on the ground, and the bluestone brick floor was soaked in tea and opened a light ink flower, which was charming.

Bao Lu took a bone china gold-painted tea cup again and made tea for the old lady.

The old lady closed her eyes and snuggled up to the brocade dot cui longevity boundless pillow, looking very tired. She wore a long jacket with a long collar of the peacock blue sea house, a dark blue eight-treasure rabbit secretly woven a golden blessing skirt, an agarwood inlaid beaded emerald tourmaline hairpin obliquely inserted into the sideburns, and a gilded emerald inlaid snow rice bead bat pattern on her forehead to cover her eyebrows, when she closed her eyes, her face was very pale, and the pearl jade ayaluo could not hide her frail and old age.

Dong Ying took a closer look, only to find that the old lady's sideburns showed a few strands of snow, as if they had popped out overnight, adding to the old dragon clock. Seeing my grandmother like this, I thought of Xue Dongwan again, and Dongyu's eyelashes were wet.

Bao Lu made tea, put it on the kang table in front of the old lady, and said softly: "Old lady, you drink tea......

The old lady opened her eyes slightly, and saw Dong Ying wearing a lotus-colored plum blossom pattern collared long jacket, her eyes suddenly softened, and her smile was cordial: "Sister Yu is here?" Come, sit down next to Grandmother......"

Dong Ying did as he said and sat down beside the old lady.

"Grandmother, haven't you slept since last night? You don't have much energy...... "Dong Ying asked the old lady worriedly, her eyes were soaked with crystal tears, and she became more and more beautiful and charming, and her eyes had a dazzling brilliance.

The old lady liked it when she saw it, and the smile on her face added a point, and she bowed her head indifferently: "Grandmother is old, and it is rare to have a good sleep." I couldn't sleep well while lying down, and I also delayed the night's sleepiness, so I was too lazy to sleep...... and then asked Dongyu what he ate at noon.

Dong Yu said them one by one.

The old lady asked her again why she had come, and that it was not the time of morning and dusk.

Dong Ying forced a sweet and lovely smile: "I went to the Yuanfeng Pavilion of the eldest aunt." The eldest aunt said to come and see my grandmother, so I came with me. ”

"Went to Yuanfeng Pavilion?" The old lady was infected by her laughter and laughed too.

In fact, they both knew in their hearts that Sister Wan went, but they had to pretend that nothing happened, and it was better to smile than to have a broken face.

Dong Yu snorted, and said with a smile: "Thinking that the New Year is approaching, the eldest aunt has a lot of things, and she will be even busier at the beginning of spring next year, I have some things in the house, so I will tell her in advance, so as not to temporarily add chaos to the eldest aunt." ”

The old lady's expression was much more relaxed than just now, her smile was a little more natural, and she asked her what was the matter.

"The matter of the two sisters of Orange and Orange Xiang ......" Dong Ying said, "Sister Orange Hong is eighteen years old, and Sister Orange Xiang will also be eighteen in February next year, our family's rules should be released." The two sisters were rewarded by my grandmother, and I should have asked my grandmother first, but I wondered if the eldest aunt was in charge of the family, or if I gave her first, and then I would tell you. The eldest aunt also said, "Ask what you mean, and we'll come over together......"

The smile in the old lady's eyes became more and more intense, and there was even some surprise.

The kid actually thought of her.

"That's the reason," said the old lady...... "Our family doesn't have a rule for keeping the maids as old girls, and you can let them go at the age of eighteen." ”

According to the current laws and morals, all maids in the family must be released before the age of twenty-five. In order to show virtue and prosperity, many hairpins in Shengjing began to release the maids when they were eighteen years old, and rarely kept people until they were twenty-five years old.

"What did your aunt say?" The old lady asked Dongyu with a smile again.

Dong Yu was about to answer, but the treasure towel who was waiting in Dong Jima shouted to the inner room, "Mrs. Shizi is here", and after that, he personally lifted the felt curtain for the Rong family.

Seeing that the old lady was not as cold and stern as just now, Rong returned to her usual kindness and kindness, and her smile became more and more calm and gentle, and she gave the old lady a blessing.

The old lady asked her to sit on the kang, and Baolu served her tea.

"Sister Ying and I are talking about you, you are here......" The old lady smiled lovingly, and she couldn't see the slightest sadness.

But the Rong family knows that the old lady has a lot of wind and waves in her life, and she can withstand the wind and waves the most. No matter how calm the surface is, the old lady is still very sad about Sister Wan'er's death, otherwise she would not have treated the Yang family like that.

She tried her best to talk about happy things and coax the old lady to be happy.

"What are you and Sister Yu arranging behind my back?" Rong smiled and sat diagonally opposite the old lady.

The old lady laughed and told the Rong family what Dong Yu had told her. He also asked Rong what he was going to do with the matter of orange red and orange incense.

"It was given to Sister Yao'er by my mother, and Sister Yao ran to ask me how to let it out, but I was embarrassed. The people in the mother's house, I don't dare to call the shots, so I took Sister Yu to ask my mother to show me......" Rong said with a smile, glanced at Xue Dongyuan, and sighed in his heart The intelligence of this little girl.

The butler's cards are in the hands of the Rong family, even if the old lady makes a decision, it must be implemented by the Rong family in the end. went directly to tell the Rong family and respected her as the master; The maid took the monthly example in the old lady's house, and the Rong family would definitely respect the old lady and come to please the old lady.

In the end, it was the old lady who made the decision, and there was no difference from Xue Dongyu telling the old lady directly.

But Xue Dongyu made such a detour, and gave the Rong family respect and decency, and did not offend the Rong family.

Rong couldn't help but glance at Dong Ying again, she liked the old lady, and she deserved it. When Rong was her age, she didn't have such a comprehensive shrewdness.

"You are in charge of this family, why can't you call the shots?" The old lady laughed, and there was less evil in her eyebrows.

Rong said: "That mother will hurt me once, help me get an idea!" ”

Dongyu pursed her lips and smiled.

The old lady also smiled, she groaned slightly, but turned her eyes to look at Dong Jin: "Sister Yuan, do you have a good idea?" ”

If it were normal, Dongyu would never come out. But this matter is about the future of Orange Red and Orange, and she can't let it go any longer. These two maids have been with her faithfully like sisters for the past five years, and Dongyu has feelings for them.

"I began to think that the two sisters were going to be released, and I discussed it with Luo's mother. The two elder sisters came to my house from my grandmother's house, they were wronged, and they have served me with all their hearts and souls, and I also want them to have a good future. Luo's mother said that her uncle's family has two twin nephews, who are in our family's Zhuangzi, and they will turn nineteen next year, and they have not said that they are ...... relatives" Dongyu said while figuring out the expressions of the old lady and the Rong family, and seeing that they did not frown, she knew that what she said was not bad, and she was bolder, and the more she spoke, the smoother she became, "Luo's mother's man is also on Zhuangzi, she said that if the two sisters can marry into their family, she also wants to go out and let her daughter come into the house to see the world......

Rong listened to Dongyi's words, and was a little confused at first: What kind of good future is marrying into Zhuangzi?

Then I suddenly understood that in the future, I could choose a companion room from Zhuangzi!

With the identity of a companion, it is naturally different. A shrewd and cautious person like Xue Dongyu will be satisfied with her unless she is a mother-in-law; is a natural coquettish appearance, her husband will not be too bad to her, and her companion may really have a bright future in the future.

The Rong family couldn't help but add a little weight to this niece in his heart.

The old lady looked at Dongyu with a slight twinkle in her eyes, and her expression was very inexplicable.

Rong was slightly stunned, it was rare for Dongyi's idea, and the old lady did not agree?

After a while, I heard the old lady's laughter.

This laughter is satisfaction from the bottom of my heart, happy and proud.

Rong's heart is determined, it seems that what Sister Yu said is in the heart of the old lady. She preemptively said: "Mother, our sister is by your side, and she has learned a little bit of her mother's style by acting and talking." I think that's a good idea, don't you think? ”

"Okay, you think it's good, just do what Sister Yu said." The old lady smiled and hugged Dong Yu in her arms, and said to Rong with a smile, "This child is the roundworm in my stomach, I want to know everything!" ”

Although Rong was puzzled, he still echoed and smiled.

"Sister Yu is older, Mother Luo wants to go out, let her go out." The old lady said, "When she goes out, let her daughter serve in Sister Yu's house." ”

Then as if he remembered something, he said to the Rong family and Dong Jin: "I have seen a good child, and I am going to give it to Sister Yu, and when the orange fragrance is released next year, her house will not be chaotic." ”

Then call Mother Zhan and ask her to bring Rose in.
