was looked at by Sheng Xiuyi, and Dongyi's heart tightened slightly.
Marrying into the Sheng family, she avoided being a concubine for the emperor, avoided entering the forbidden garden of the deep palace, and successfully rounded the house: at the marriage ceremony, her father-in-law and mother-in-law gave her decency. None of her worries came up, and she was naturally in a good mood. Tangerine Xiang and Tangerine Hong have been stubborn with her since childhood, and in front of them, just like being alone in front of Old Marquis Xue and Old Madam Xue, Dongyu is a little childish and cheerful.
I relaxed my vigilance, and I was in a happy mood, and naturally I had the liveliness of a young woman, which could not be concealed.
But she forgot her son's demeanor as a housewife, and was seen by her newlywed husband, would he think she was not dignified enough?
Dongyu was really suffering from gains and losses, so he looked at Sheng Xiuyi again.
Unexpectedly, he found that he had faint smile lines in his eyes.
She breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't keep a straight face.
Orange Hong and Tangerine Xiang retreated, and Sheng Xiuyi sat on the kang opposite Dongyi. Ziwei and Red Lotus made tea, and Dongyu personally held it to him, with a respectful and docile attitude.
Sheng Xiuyi looked at her and couldn't help but soften a little.
He tasted it. tea, put down the teacup, and asked her, "What interesting story did you just say?" After that, he also pulled the silver-red brocade pillow behind him and leaned on it, looking leisurely chatting with her.
Dong Ying remembered that he was only a small five-pin lang in the criminal department, and it was the first day of the wedding, so he really didn't have any official business. Chatting can enhance the understanding between the two people, Dong Yu suddenly smiled, and told Sheng Xiuyi what Tangerine Xiang said about stepping on lotus roots and fishing.
Sheng Xiuyi looked at the look of her eyebrows flying when she spoke, and couldn't help but lose her mind for a moment. Before Dong Yu found out, he had already collected his emotions.
In the past, he thought that he was not a superficial person, and he would not be seduced by a woman's appearance. Therefore, in order to please his father, people often give him beautiful maids. He looked, and his heart never moved.
From last night to now, less than twelve hours, he was frequently attracted by the light smile of his new wife, and his heart throbbed. It's not that he's not seduced, it's just that he's never met a real beauty.
Sheng Xiuyi remembered his father's words again: "Look at it today, the Xue family is beautiful and smart, it is a good one, you have to be careful." If she stays with you, sooner or later she will be your scourge. If you think about it carefully, we mentioned to the concubine Niangniang that we wanted to marry the twelve girls of the Xue family, and the concubine Niangniang also told the emperor: The queen mother gave the emperor so many candidates and asked him to marry the Xue family, but the emperor finally chose you. Just because you are a wife, he wants the Xue family in the future, as long as it is rumored that the Xue family "died violently" like the Chen family, he can take the Xue family away. Xue's is beautiful, men love her, don't forget, our honor and disgrace are far more important than a woman, and you can't offend the emperor because of her. Why does a husband have no wife? ”
Why does a husband have no wife?
Because the emperor has taken a fancy to his wife, he will give it away, is this his father's principle of doing things? There was a sneer on the corner of Sheng Xiuyi's lips.
After so many years, the Sheng family has already established a solid foundation in Kyoto, but his father's handling method has not changed at all, and it is still the same as when he first came to Kyoto to gain a foothold.
If the emperor had what he wanted, he would not have given him the Xue family to marry him in the first place! If you want to learn from Yao Shun and be a Ming Jun who will be praised for all generations, the emperor's constraints are often more than ordinary people. As long as you can find a checks and balances, you can keep your family and your wife.
Today's saints are working hard to achieve thousands of great causes. He thought about the Xue family, but he refused to give up the country for the Xue family.
Dong Yu was talking to Sheng Xiuyi about orange fragrance, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a sneer flashing at the corner of his lips, and his heart froze. Did she say something wrong?
When he looked at it again, Sheng Xiuyi regained his calm expression, as if the sneer just now was just an illusion of Dong Yu.
If it weren't for Dong Yu's luck, he raised his eyes at that moment just now, otherwise he wouldn't have seen the fleeting change in his expression at all.
This man is very good at controlling his emotions.
Dongyu couldn't be sure for a moment whether he liked himself or not.
Husbands, fathers-in-law, mothers-in-law, it seems that only mothers-in-law are kinder, and joy and anger appear in all shapes: the joy and disgust of husbands and fathers-in-law cannot be judged by their expressions.
Before she got married, her grandmother thought that she was a girl in the boudoir, and many of the Sheng family did not mention it to her. Regarding Sheng Xiuyi, his grandmother's evaluation of him is: a rich and unsuccessful, mediocre talent!
How can such a man who is good at hiding his emotions achieve nothing?
“… You haven't seen catching fish or stepping on lotus roots, have you? Sheng Xiuyi saw that she was full of interest, but she didn't understand anything, so he asked her.
The leader of Dongyu smiled again: "Have you seen it?" "Well, we also stepped on lotus roots when we were kids." Sheng Xiuyi said.
"Go to Zhuangzi to play, and follow the steward?" Dong Yu was curious. She couldn't imagine that Sheng Xiuyi was also a naughty person when she was a child. Now looking at his calm and introverted, I thought that he had grown old since he was a child, just like Dongyu's third cousin.
Sheng Xiuyi raised his eyebrows: "No, in my hometown." There is a lotus pond not far from the old house, and the long-term workers at home often fish and pick lotus, and the second and third uncles take me and often go to the river to play. ”
Home?
Dongyu thought he was growing up in Shengyu.
Didn't the Sheng family use to be in Kyoto? Why did my grandmother never mention these past events of the Sheng family?
"Are there a lot of rivers there?" Dong Ying asked tentatively.
She wanted to know where the Sheng family's old mansion was, but she was afraid of touching the taboo, so she didn't dare to ask directly.
Sheng Xiuyi glanced at her, his eyes were deep, and he said! ', many rivers, the land of fish and rice in Zhengzhou. "Huizhou in Anhui? The Sheng family turned out to be from Huizhou?
Sheng Xiuyi is willing to say, then the past of the Sheng family should not be obscure. When it came to Huizhou, there were a few wisps of lightness in his tone that couldn't be hidden. It should be his glory there, and it should have given him a very good childhood, so he was willing to mention that he was from Jiaozhou, and his tone was very proud.
Dong Ying took the opportunity to ask: "The prince grew up in Zhengzhou when he was a child?" ”
Sheng Xiuyi nodded: "I only came to Kyoto when I was eight years old. ”
Dong Yu smiled: "I know Huizhou." ”
Sheng Xiuyi couldn't help but be moved when she saw that her tone was very loud, and there was a faint smile in her eyes, and she asked, "Do you know?" Dong Ying nodded affirmatively: "I know Hui Shang!" Sheng Xiuyi couldn't help laughing, but heard her soft voice, and continued: "Hui merchants have a resolute temperament, and they have traveled thousands of miles to bring economic prosperity. But I think that Huizhou women are the most respectable. Sheng Xiuyi smiled.
"Men do business, women keep their homes. Taking care of the family business, educating the children, and being filial to the in-laws, they bear many of the responsibilities that a man should bear. Shiziye, is my mother a Huizhou woman? Her eyes cleared and she looked at him.
These words sound like ordinary praise on weekdays, and there is nothing new about them.
But her last sentence, whether her mother was a Huizhou woman or not, made Sheng Xiuyi's heart move. He remembered the years when his father went out to fight, and his mother guarded the old house.
Now looking at his mother, he is gentle and kind, but he doesn't know that when she first married into the Sheng family, she was cowardly and timid. But there is no husband in charge of the family, the in-laws are old and faint, and a woman who does not dare to speak loudly forces herself to quarrel with evil slaves and fight with her neighbors, just so that the Sheng family will not be bullied.
These hardships are only clear to Sheng Xiuyi, who is the eldest son.
"My mother is a Huizhou woman!" Sheng Xiuyi said resolutely.
Dong Ying laughed: "My mother is also from Anhui, and the land of my grandfather's mulberry is in Anqing Mansion, is it very close to your Huizhou Mansion?" ”
Sheng Xiuyi nodded again: "I have an aunt who married into Anqing Mansion. Not far from Huizhou. ”
Dong Ying pestered him and said about Huizhou and Huizhou merchants. A lot of her understanding of Huizhou merchants is from the film and television and nasal books of later generations, and she has jumped out of the current cognition and has a deep insight. Sheng Xiuyi talked about Huizhou merchants and Huizhou, she could always pick up one or two sentences, and what she said was very incisive and profound, which made Sheng Xiuyi both sigh and surprise.
Huizhou is the land of Sheng Xiuyi, and he has a very good memory there. He was very willing to talk about this topic, and Dongyu was able to pick up the conversation again, so that the topic had interaction, and the more the two talked, the more energetic they became, and before they knew it, it was lunch time.
Sheng Xiuyi stayed here for lunch.
After eating, Sheng Xiuyi got up and went to the small study of Jingshi Courtyard.
There are four main rooms in the Jingshi Courtyard, eight ear rooms on the left and right, and four hugging rooms. Sheng Xiuyi's study is in the first main room in the west, next to the inner room.
Dongyu was a little sleepy, and she didn't dare to pace back and forth in the house like at home to eliminate food and sleepiness.
Rose and Luo's mother, who were just going to learn the rules, are back.
Knowing that Sheng Xiuyi was in the study, several people spoke softly.
Dong Ying asked Rose and Luo's mother, "Have you eaten?" "Rose and Mother Luo both said they had eaten it.
"Grandma, we have a small kitchen in the yard." Rose said to Dong Jin, "It's similar to Mrs. Shizi's small kitchen, with two mothers, two little maids, and a cook. ”
Dong Yu smiled, she didn't have to guess to know. Although the Sheng family is not as deep as Xuefu's roots in Kyoto1
But it is a family of powerful ministers, and there are a lot of rules for these uses.
But this small kitchen, Dongyu probably won't use it.
The wife of the prince of Xue Mansion, Rong's family, also has a small kitchen, in addition to hot water, you can also set aside some ingredients to open a small stove separately, which is the same as the small kitchen of the old lady of Xue Mansion. But Mrs. Rong's family has been in charge of the house for more than ten years, and she eats in the public middle school, and has never used the small kitchen to cook and eat openly.
If you don't become the supreme authority in the inner house, don't do things that make your subordinates jealous and suspicious.
Seeing that Rose was a little happy, Dong Ying was about to pour cold water on her, when she heard Rose continue: "Mother Cui, who is in charge of the small kitchen, her mother's family is not from the Sheng Mansion. Her maiden niece married the nephew of Mother Qin, who is in charge of the huā garden in the backyard of our Xue Mansion......"
Not only Dongyu, but even Luo's mother couldn't help laughing.
"You can find such a relationship between the horns and horns!" Dong Ying couldn't laugh well, and he didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of being heard by Sheng Xiuyi.
Rose was slightly red by their laughter: "Mother Cui loves to talk, and I took the monthly example in your house, so I took the opportunity to get close to her, but I didn't think about it, the relationship climbed, and it really climbed!" "That is, Rose wants to inquire about the Sheng Mansion. Because Cui's mother is in the Dongyu house, she naturally doesn't dare to ask her about the situation everywhere, so Rose can feel at ease to climb relationships and clichés.
Dong Ying smiled slightly: "What did Mother Cui tell you?" ”
Rose glanced in the direction of the study, her eyes down and she didn't speak.
What about Sheng Xiuyi?
Dongyi's heart jumped, and she didn't ask again, thinking that she would wait for Sheng Xiuyi to leave before she elaborated.
The maid outside came in and said, "Grandma, aunts and young master and young lady say hello to grandma." ”
