Returning from the second grandmother's Xiguiyuan, Rose knocked on the door along the way, and had to trouble her mother, who was keeping vigil, but fortunately she brought a purse with her.

All the way down, about two taels of silver were sent down.

When he was about to reach the gate of the Jingshi Courtyard, Dong Yu suddenly stood and looked at the dark courtyard behind him.

Rose and Ziwei followed behind her, looking at Dong Yu in confusion.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" Rose asked worriedly.

Dong Ying pointed to the way they came, and said to Rose, "Rose, let's come back so quickly......"

Rose was a little confused, she didn't understand what Dong Yu meant.

"If you talk about housekeeping, Mrs. has a soft personality, and she is probably not as good as the old lady of our Xue family. But after our Xue family fell into the night, the mother-in-law must have gambled, drunk, and chattered. As long as there is no delay in opening and closing the door in the morning and evening, and the old lady doesn't care about restraining them, who will always be by the door? But look at the Sheng family, let's come back from Xiguiyuan, and after knocking on the door for a while, someone answered. Dong Ying sighed slightly, "The Sheng family is so strict in managing the house......"

When Rose and Crape Myrtle heard it, it was indeed so.

"Yes, the Sheng family's descendants are more constrained than our family." Rose smiled, "It's good to have rules, Grandma." ”

It is indeed a good thing to have rules, but the rules are so strict, is it like a court under high pressure and terror?

Can such rules really last?

There are rewards and punishments, gallops and relaxations, so that people can take a breath!

And the management of the Sheng family's inner courtyard is not a little militarized?

Marquis Sheng Chang actually had to take care of these things in the inner courtyard, and he managed them so strictly, training his subordinates in the family to be as disciplined as soldiers.

There must be resentment in the hearts of the people.

Dong Yu remembered the second grandmother Ge Shi and said: "When you have an heir, you will know that the Sheng family does not have a good thing...... "Is she talking about her father-in-law Sheng Changhou?"

Dong Ying shuddered.

"Rose, you secretly went and inquired. What are the rules of the mothers-in-law who keep vigil at the corner gate? Dong Yu turned around and went back to the Jing Shi Yuan. Tell Rose.

Rose Road is.

Ziwei on the side is still like a transparent person, she is silent, and Dongyu never takes the initiative to ask her anything.

After Dong Ying washed, Rose helped her distribute it. The chiming clock on the wall was ticking, and it was already the beginning of the year.

Qingsi scattered, and Rose helped make the bed and asked her, "Grandma, are you resting now?" ”

"I'll wait for the prince, you go first." Dong Ying sat on the big kang near the window, and pulled the silver-red embroidered peony standing on the side of the board wall with auspicious elastic ink pillow. Leaning.

Rose took her a thin fur and put it on her body. before retreating outside to rest.

Dong Yu took Sheng Xiuyi's book of "Liutao" on the kang table and looked at it, turning it from front to back, they were Wen Tao, Wu Tao, Long ~~-Update the first ~ ~ Tao, Tiger Tao, Leopard Tao, and Dog Tao, and she started to read from the back of the dog. I have been in this world for some years, and I have been taught by Xibin. She can't recite poetry or write eight-strand texts, but she has no barriers to reading.

Among the six Taos, Dog Tao is in command of the army, as if strategizing, Dong Yuan just read half a page and heard the voice of the rose outside the curtain asking Sheng Xiuyi for peace.

She got up and got off the kang, and Sheng Xiuyi had already come in.

Dongyu greeted him and asked, "Has the second master gone back?" Is my mother okay? ”

Sheng Xiuyi said vaguely. And he went to the clean room.

Rose arranges for red lotuses and hedges to serve outside.

By the time he washes up, he'll be ready.

After Sheng Xiuyi blew out the lamp and went to bed, Dong Ying put down the curtain and lay down before saying to him: "I sent my second brother and sister back, but she didn't cry anymore." ”

Sheng Xiuyi hummed softly.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, Dongyu didn't ask again. Close your eyes to cultivate sleep.

Sheng Xiuyi's hand reached over, lifted her quilt, held her in his arms, rested his chin against her head, and said after a while: "The matter of the second brother, wait until my father comes back tomorrow." Today is the day when Yongningbo's mother is fully dressed, and his father has sent gifts. Daddy and Yongningbo are close friends, the two are the most opportunistic, drinking and not getting drunk and not returning, but I am afraid that I will rest in Yongningbo's mansion. ”

Seeing that he seemed to want to talk to her, Dongyu greeted her softly, and asked, "Who does the second master want to marry as a flat wife?" Why didn't you hear any wind ahead? ”

Sheng Xiuyi's hand gently rubbed her green silk, but her voice was a little cold: "He never wanted to marry anyone to be his wife." Our family has a noble concubine and a third prince, my father is cautious everywhere, and the second brother knows it, and it is impossible to agree to him breaking the gang often marrying two rooms. He just wanted to take a concubine. ”

Dong Ying was stunned.

Is this worth it?

Sheng Xiuyi saw that she was puzzled and explained: "He has been such a character since he was a child, leaving a way back for everything. If he said at the beginning that he wanted to take a noble concubine, and the family did not agree, there would be no room for bargaining. He first said that he wanted to marry a flat wife, but the family did not agree, and he made a fuss again, and only after making a fuss did he say that he would accept a noble concubine, so naturally there was no obstacle. ”

This Dong Yu understands.

It's like a vendor in a small market, a gadget of 20 yuan, the price is 200, and in the end the bargain is made, and the customer buys it for 50 yuan, and he thinks he has made a profit.

The second master, Sheng Xiuhai, is quite business-minded.

Dong Ying smiled: "The second master is very smart......

Sheng Xiuyi snorted coldly: "It's really smart!" The tone was unpleasant.

Dong Ying knew that his joke was out of place, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Mother knows his tricks, so she delays with him?" ”

But Ge, who is the second grandmother, doesn't seem to know. She cried and grabbed the ground, making Mrs. Sheng upset and irritable, and Mrs. Sheng had to ask Sheng Xiuyi and Dongyu to come forward to reconcile.

When the second grandmother was leaving, she said, "Mother, you have a word", probably because since the second grandfather said that he was going to marry a flat wife, Mrs. Sheng did not express her position, right?

Gentleness is sometimes a sharp weapon.

"This matter needs to be decided by my father, he kneels in front of his mother, and his mother will not promise him anything. In case my father doesn't agree, my mother will take care of him. Sheng Xiuyi's voice softened and kissed her sideburns, "Ah Jin, our family's affairs are all decided by my father." ”

Even the things of the inner court.

Dong Ying had an inexplicable resistance to his father-in-law, Sheng Changhou, in his heart. Her grandfather, Marquis Zhenxian, never interfered in the affairs of the inner house, and the Xue family was also prosperous.

And the Marquis of Sheng Chang controls everywhere, and the heirs of the Sheng family are thin and weird.

"Tianhe, won't my father agree to the second master to marry a concubine?" Dong Yu raised his eyes and asked Sheng Xiuyi, "Who does the second master want to marry, and it has to be a noble concubine?" ”

If Marquis Sheng Chang would agree, the second master Sheng Xiuhai would not force Mrs. Sheng to express her position like that.

The second master could guess that Sheng Changhou would not agree.

It's just a concubine, and the second master actually spent so much effort to fight with his mother and father.

Sheng Xiuyi paused, and then said: "Whether Daddy agrees or not is secondary, and whether people are willing to marry is the key." ”

Dong Ying was stunned.

She didn't understand where the second master was singing.

"Do you know the Yuan family of Jianzhao Marquis?" Sheng Xiuyi asked Dongyi.

Of course, Dong Yu knew, she said: "The Yuan family of Jianzhao Marquis and my mother's family are good friends, and the wife of Jianzhao Hou who went first often has contact with my grandmother, and Mrs. Chen and my eldest aunt are close friends and often move around. She thought for a while, and then said, "The second master wouldn't want to marry the seventh lady of the Jianzhao Marquis Mansion, right?" ”

She said, not believing it herself. Even if the second master has no knowledge, he will not think of the idea of building Miss Zhaohou Mansion.

Except for Miss Seven, there are no girls to be married in the Jianzhao Marquis Mansion.

Sheng Xiuyi said: "Naturally not. He added, "Jianzhao Hou has a side branch brother, who used to be a Jiangning salt division secretary, and died of illness last year, do you know?" ”

Dongyi's body paused slightly.

She really knows.

Last year, Mrs. Yuan San took her daughter Yuan Puying to meet Mrs. Xue, and she was recommended by Dongying. Mrs. Yuan's husband is Jiangning Salt Division Si Tiju, and Dongming's father Xue Ziming was a classmate and friend of Guozijian when he was studying.

Yuan Puying?

"Is that her?" Dong Ying frowned, told Sheng Xiuyi about Yuan Tiju's wife's visit to Old Madam Xue, and said in surprise, "...... The second master wants to marry her? She is a young lady from a scholarly family, how can she be a concubine for our family? Besides, she was born in September, and she was not yet fifteen years old. ”

At that time, Mrs. Xue asked Yuan Puying's age, and Dong Ying was on the side, she remembered that Mrs. Yuan San said that Yuan Puying was born in September in the same year as Dong Ying.

Dongying turned fifteen years old during the Spring Festival this year, so Yuan Puying won't be able to reach until September.

Hearing Dongying say that Yuan Puying was a young lady from a scholarly family, Sheng Xiuyi paused before saying, "She is pregnant with the flesh and blood of her second brother......"

Dongyu was stunned, but could no longer speak.

She still remembers that when she first saw Yuan Puying, she was a gentle and shy, shy and weak little woman, and she had a weak willow and a romantic posture, how could she ......

It's been less than half a year.

"The heirs in the second brother's room are thin. The second brother and sister have been in the door for eight years, and only one sister Hui has been in the door, and the two aunts have not moved, and the same is true for the two rooms. Now that Miss Yuan has his flesh and blood, our family naturally asks to marry him. However, Marquis Jianzhao took her back to Marquis Jianzhao's mansion. The Marquis of Jianzhao's Mansion has already released a word, if it is not a flat wife, this matter will be brought to His Majesty. Sheng Xiuyi sighed heavily, "But it is impossible for our family to agree to marry a flat wife." When Daddy comes back tomorrow, the family is only afraid of ......"

Marquis Sheng Chang is afraid that he will clean up the second master Sheng Xiuhai, and there will be a turmoil in the family again.

Miss Punzhi of the Jianzhao Marquis Mansion is also about the reputation of the Jianzhao Marquis Mansion. If you give the Sheng family a concubine, people who don't know why still think that it is the Marquis of Jianzhao who befriended the Marquis of Sheng Chang and sold her daughter for glory.

And the Yuan family of the Marquis of Jianzhao is undoubtedly politically biased towards the Xue family of the Marquis of Zhenxian, rather than the Sheng family.

In the future, if there is a competition for the position of the prince, Yuan Puying, the concubine in the Sheng family, and the attitude of the Marquis of Jianzhao will become unclear. If he wanted to become a henchman of the Xue family of the Marquis of Zhenxian, it would be impossible for him to marry the concubine of the side branch to the Sheng family as a concubine.

Yuan Puying was taken to the Jianzhao Marquis Mansion, so she and the unborn child are afraid that they will not survive.

Dongyu looked at the vague tent top, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

Sheng Xiuyi asked her, "What are you thinking?" ”

Dong Ying asked him rhetorically, "What do you want?" ”

Sheng Xiuyi paused before saying, "Marquis Jianzhao and your family are good friends...... and then said, "Second brother is afraid that he will have to waste some thoughts." ”

He also thinks that the woman and the unborn child can't live?
