In the fourth month after Sheng Xiuyi left, Dongyi's belly was gradually revealed.

She started with a lot of morning vomiting, but it stopped after a few days.

Mrs. Sheng praised the child in her womb for being obedient, and told Dong Ying how hard she had been pregnant: "...... When I was pregnant with the concubine Niangniang, I vomited for seven months, and after the concubine Niangniang was born, I was so thin that I couldn't form it. Later, when I was pregnant with my brother, I vomited for several months, and when I was pregnant with my brother, I was not comfortable. There has never been a time when you have a good ......."

Then he said to Dong Yu, "Brother Yi is not around, you don't have to be afraid." When my mother was pregnant with three children, Hou Ye was going out to ......"

Dongyu noticed that Mrs. Sheng said that she was pregnant with three children, and did not mention Sheng Xiuqi, the daughter of the Sheng family who entered the palace in May this year.

Wasn't the third lady Sheng Xiuqi born to Mrs. Sheng?

"I'm not afraid." Dong Ying's mind turned, he didn't dare to ask more, and he was busy smiling and talking.

Mother Kang brought in the sweet oranges broken into petals with a blue and white gold porcelain plate, and invited Mrs. Sheng and Dongyu to eat the oranges.

Dongyu didn't love the taste, so he barely ate a piece and stopped eating it.

Mrs. Sheng didn't like it very much, so she ate a piece and asked Mother Kang to bring it down to the maids serving in the house to eat.

Kang's mother got up with a smile and brought down the plate again.

Dongyu and Mrs. Sheng chatted in Dongji, and Mrs. Sheng's maid Xiangzhi served on the side.

After Kang's mother brought the oranges, she didn't come back for a long time. After a while, Dongyu heard the voice of a maid in the courtyard.

When Kang's mother came in again, her face was not very good.

She stood aside. gave Mrs. Sheng a look.

Mrs. Sheng saw it in her eyes and knew that there was something wrong with Kang's mother, so she said to Dongyu: "You go back to the house first......

Dongyu said yes, get up and get off the kang.

Xiangzhi stepped forward and knelt down to put on her shoes, and Kang's mother called Rose to come in.

When he came out of Yuanyang Pavilion, Dong Ying saw a maid in a purple mattress standing under the eaves, talking to Mrs. Sheng's eldest maid, the citon.

Dong Ying seemed to have never seen that maid. I couldn't help but look at her again.

The maid obediently bent her knees and saluted Dongyu.

Dong Ying smiled, turned around with Rose and left.

In the inner room of Yuanyang Pavilion, Mother Kang whispered something to Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng's face changed instantly. I couldn't help but clench my mother's hand: "...... What did he come to do? Hou Ye said that he was not allowed to step into the ...... of Shengjing"

"Cheng's can't do it...... "Kang's mother whispered, "I can't swallow my breath." After being out of food for several days, I repeatedly recited Brother Hai and Sister Qi, and I couldn't die or live. ”

Mrs. Sheng's expression was full of compassion: "She has been so pitiful all her life......"

"Yes, Brother Chen can't stand it when he sees his mother like this. I had to go to Beijing in person to beg Lord Hou and ask him to take his brothers and sisters back to see his mother for the last time. Kang's mother whispered, "The person is there in the concierge now." Madame, you have an idea, you can't leave people in the concierge, can you? ”

"What ideas can I have?" Mrs. Sheng heard that Cheng was no longer good. There were tears in his eyes, and he sighed, "I said back then, Brother Hai and Sister Qi were my children, and the Cheng family personally agreed." It is impossible for Hou Ye to let Hai Ge'er go back to Huizhou again; Sister Qi also entered the palace. I can't go either. If I let Brother Chen come in, Master Hou should scold me again......"

That's true.

It is impossible for Sheng Changhou to let Sheng Xiuhai and Sheng Xiuqi return to Huizhou.

Besides, Sheng Xiuqi entered the palace, and it was impossible to go back.

“…… So what to do? Can't you always let Brother Chen wait in the concierge, right? He looks like someone from our family, if those tricky minions see something, chew out something......" The more Kang's mother thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her voice lowered even lower.

"Take it to Brother Mu's hospital." It's been a long time. Mrs. Sheng thought about it and decided, "Send someone to wait at the gate of the palace, wait for the shift change, quickly find Brother Mu to come back, and let him see Brother Chen first." Their brothers have something to say. If Hou Ye was angry and wanted to kill Brother Chen, Brother Mu could still stop him...... I can't stop Master Hou......"

Mother Kang belched, and when she saw that Mrs. Sheng was pale and had tears in her eyes, she asked the citron to come in and serve.

She hurried to the outer courtyard.

***

Dongyu and Rose returned to the Jingshi Courtyard, and Luo's mother was drying the quilt with orange red and orange fragrance.

Seeing Dongyu coming in, Luo's mother smiled: "Today is an auspicious day, take out all the clothes and quilts in the house to dry." Grandma sat in the house first......"

Dong Yu did not enter the house, but turned around and sat on the rattan chair in the courtyard, watched them drying quilts, and said with a smile: "I also bask in the sun......

There are two osmanthus trees in the corner of the Jingshi Courtyard, which are full of rich and fragrant gardens at this moment. Dong Ying likes it very much, looking at the soft fragrant broken stamen falling under the breeze, and the mood is very comfortable.

Rose didn't stop her, but turned around and went into the house, and took a cushion and a thin fur to cover her, for fear that she would catch a cold.

Seeing Dongyu watching the osmanthus flowers fall into a trance, Rose asked her with a smile: "Grandma, do we want to make some osmanthus cakes to try?" This year's osmanthus flowers are blooming well......"

"Wow." Dongyu looked back and said happily.

When Tang Xiang heard it, she put the quilt and didn't dry it, squeezed to Dong Yuan, and looked at Dong Ying flatteringly: "Grandma, I'll go up to the tree to pick osmanthus flowers, right?" ”

Toyo sneered.

Luo's mother also laughed, shook her head and said, "How adult, like a child, how good is it to fall?" If you want to make osmanthus cake, let a nimble little girl pick it, you can be honest. ”

Tangerine Xiang hurriedly stood up and regained her wrist: "Mom, I'm the one with flexible hands and feet." ”

The maids and women in the yard laughed.

Dong Ying couldn't laugh either.

In the end, it was Tangerine Xiang who led the little maid to pick two baskets of osmanthus flowers.

Luo's mother made the best pastries, she went to clean her hands and knead the dough, and Tangerine and Tangerine helped on the side.

In an hour or so, the osmanthus cake was ready.

Dongyu tasted it, it was sweet and not greasy, and it was easy to restrain it.

"Send some to Mrs. and Second Grandma, Miss Cousin, and Third Master." Dong Ying smiled and looked at the roses, "I found a food box to put it." ”

Rose Road is.

When Rose found four food boxes, Luo's mother helped divide them.

Rose took it and sent it to Madame Sheng. Yao Tao sent it to the second grandmother, Xunfang sent it to Miss Cousin Qin Yi, and Biqiu sent it to Sheng Xiumu, the third master in the outer courtyard.

In a moment, Rose, Peach, and Xunfang all returned.

Mrs. Sheng was very happy and rewarded Rose with a pair of bracelets.

Miss Qin Yi rewarded Xun Fang with an eight-cent silver bill.

The second grandmother also rewarded Xun Fang with a few dollars.

Only Biqiu, who gave the third master osmanthus cake, has never returned.

"Biqiu went for half a day. It's terrible, can you fall into the water? Tachibana smiled.

The Sheng family is full of ponds.

Biqiu and Xunfang used to be on errands in Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion. Hearing Tangerine Xiang ask, Xun Fang explained with a smile: "Biqiu and the painting piano in the Sanye Courtyard have always been stubborn. Later, the third master came back from the northwest camp. After living in the outer courtyard, the lady sent the painting piano and painting fan to serve the third master. It's about a piano that stumbles to speak. Grandma, I'm looking for her. ”

Dongyu shook her head. smiled: "We're okay here, it's rare for her to go out, and it's not in the way to go shopping." ”

Seeking Fang should be.

As soon as the words fell. Biqiu came back, carrying the same food box in her hand.

She smiled and opened the food box, which was a plate of hibiscus shortbread.

She said to Dongyu, "...... When I first went, the third master was not there, and a strange man was sitting in the house, accompanied by Madame Kang's mother. I didn't know who it was, and I was about to put down my things and leave, just as the third master came back. When asked me what was the matter, I told me directly, and the third master asked me to wait. Then he went into the house and talked to the man. I waited for a long time, and then the painting piano came out, saying that the third master bought it yesterday, and it tasted good, so let me give it to my wife and grandmothers to taste. Just as I went. Just let me bring it back, and the third master won't send anyone to send it over..."

Then he took out two silver bills from the bottom of his sleeve and gave them to Dongyu: "The ...... rewarded by the third master"

Dongyi's mind was no longer on this shortbread, but she was just curious about what was going on with Mother Kang sitting in the third master's house with a strange man.

Seeing Biqiu take out the silver bill, Dong Yu smiled and said, "The third master rewarded you, you just accept it." ”

Biqiu curtsied yes.

Toyo left shortbread. There were still some osmanthus cakes left, and Luo's mother asked Tangerine Xiang to take them and distribute them to the maids and sons to try them.

In the future, when she was far west, Luo's mother asked the maids to help collect quilts and clothes.

Dong Ying sat on the big kang near the window, only to feel that her body was tired and tight, and Rose took the beauty hammer to gently help her knock her legs.

"Rose, you say, did the prince send someone back from the northwest?" Dongyu has been wondering who is in the third master's house, and Mrs. Sheng's most powerful mother Kang is still with her, which is very weird.

Could it be that Sheng Xiuyi had an accident and deliberately avoided Dongyi?

Her back stiffened as she thought.

Rose was startled by her, and hurriedly helped her to lie down, and said with a smile: "Grandma is too careful." If the prince comes back with news, Madame will definitely call you to go. ”

Dong Ying knew that this was a word of comfort, and he had been waiting with anxiety.

In the afternoon, the aunts and children greeted Dongyu.

"Mother, grandfather is back and scolding people in the house." Sheng Leyu crawled into Dongyu's ear and whispered to her.

Dong Yu thought of the man in Sheng Xiu's house again, and his heart jumped suddenly.

Although Sheng Leyu whispered to Dongyu, his voice was not small, and everyone in the room heard his words.

Several of the aunts listened intently.

Sheng Leyun was busy hugging Sheng Leyu, and whispered to Dongyu: "Mother, Brother Yu is not sensible......"

Dong Ying smiled and said to Sheng Leyun: "It's okay, it's okay." "Take advantage of the situation and hug Sheng Leyu.

Rose watched from the side and was frightened, for fear that Sheng Leyu would accidentally hit Dongyu's stomach.

Dongyu smiled and said to the four aunts: "I'm a little tired, you guys are all busy, just let the children accompany me." ”

I didn't hear the words of Sheng Changhou's anger, as if he swallowed half of the words, and several aunts were not very comfortable in their hearts, but they didn't dare to disobey Dongyi, so they got up and said goodbye.

Especially Xue Jiangwan, his expression was obvious.

As soon as the aunts left, // the fastest text update has no pop-up windows and no ads // Dong Ying asked Sheng Lehao and Sheng Leyun to sit next to her, and then asked Sheng Leyu: "Brother Yu wants to take the top prize and be a learned scholar, but?" ”

Sheng Leyu nodded hurriedly.

Dong Ying smiled and touched his head, then raised his eyes and asked Sheng Le Hao: "Brother Hao studied with Mr., you told your mother and younger brother, how can you become a pillar of the country?" ”
