Mother Yang was talking to Mother Luo in the East Room, and her coming was heard by the East Lady in the inner room. After a while, a woman wearing a green short mattress jacket and a light red thread skirt walked out, and said to Mother Yang with a smile: "Mom, grandma, please talk inside." ”

It's the rose next to Dongyu.

I haven't seen her for a year, and her appearance is becoming more and more standard.

Mother Yang almost didn't recognize it, but she felt that the character was elegant and like a light huā thin jade, with a powdery melt of fat and fragrant, and she vaguely looked like a small jasper. Seeing that it was a rose, he smiled and greeted her: "The girl is more neat than before"

Rose smiled, lifted the felt curtain for Mother Yang with her bare hands, and Mother Luo accompanied her in.

Yang's mother entered the inner room and smelled rosemary lit in the bronze incense burner, which was fragrant and drowsy. Entering the door is a pineapple wood screen of the Jiangnan water town embroidered with light huā weak willows and smoke and rain paintings; Bypassing the screen, there was a curtain of rich peonies embroidered in the back of the screen, and the golden curtain hook hooked the curtain, and it was a one-person-high assorted mallet, with all kinds of antiques and a few new gadgets.

Bypassing this assorted mackerel, the party is the main room of the inner room of the East Eye. The whole set of golden silk nanmu furniture, half of the window is opened, you can smell the fragrance of peach outside the window and the smell of the sun on the green grass. There are four silver-red embroidered folded branches and begonias on the side of the board wall on the big kang near the window, and there are also huā colored elastic ink chairs along a row of Taishi chairs along the kang.

In the southwest corner of the wall stood several cabinets with silver horns, half a person high, and on the top of the cabinets were crystal fruit bowls, filled with new fruits and snacks.

A self-striking bell ticks.

A few little maids stood aside with bated breath to serve.

The branches of the potted orange tree in the corner of the wall are bent into the shape of an immortal pine, and the new shoots are drawn, and the tender green leaves are pleasant.

On the stepping bed, there was a light gauze curtain of white cordyceps clouds and smoke, and Dong Ying was wearing a half-new silver-red thin silk jacket, a snow fox fur hat, and a large pillow with a dark embroidered Fushou Ankang pattern.

Her face is white, her smile is gentle, she is plumper and her skin is plump compared to when she was a girl before. The more the eye waves are invented, the more brilliant and clear, and the flow is perfect.

Mother Yang knelt down and kowtowed to Dongyu: "Congratulations to the eldest grandmother for her happy son, and the slave maid to the eldest grandmother to say goodbye." ”

Dongyu laughed softly: "Mom doesn't have to be like this, help her up quickly." ”

A few little maids are going to help. Mother Yang still kowtowed three times before getting up with the little girl's hand.

Rose came in with the tea herself, asked the little maid to move the brocade for Yang's mother to sit on, and brought the tea to her.

Mother Yang took the tea, and said a few words to the tired girl, before half-sitting on the brocade.

Rose glanced at Dongyu and saw that Dongyu bowed slightly. She led the servants in the house down, leaving only Mother Yang to talk and Mother Luo to serve on the side.

"Mom is here, but Mom has something to tell me?" Dongyu didn't beat around the bush, and asked Yang's mother straight to the point.

Mother Yang was stunned, she probably didn't expect Dongyu to be so direct. The fifth lady Yang came to see Dongyu this morning, and was half angry by Dongming's words, and returned to the house to cry with the fifth master for a long time.

The fifth master, Xue Ziming, was also so angry. scolded Dong Ying at home for not being filial, and even wanted to ask Dong Ying about the crime of disobedience.

It was Mother Yang and Bi Tao and Bi Liu in the yard who worked hard to persuade her.

In the end, Yang's mother was sent.

The five ladies said those domineering words, Mother Yang didn't dare to learn them. She had already figured out her rhetoric along the way. not only conveyed the meaning of the fifth lady clearly, but also did not anger the ninth aunt and grandmother.

Grandma Jiu is still in confinement, so she shouldn't be able to see guests. Helplessly, the fifth lady didn't care about it at all, and rushed away to see the ninth aunt and grandmother in person. Aunt Jiu's grandmother is a daughter, and she didn't dare to stop her grandmother at the door while she was in confinement, so she saw her.

How do you know that it is best to be scolded by the fifth lady and make me angry.

There is nothing to say about it. If they were angry, the old lady and the Sheng family would definitely not spare the fifth lady and Mother Yang.

But Yang's mother didn't dare not come. asked the maids serving in the house to come, one treated Xue Dongyu lightly, and secondly, Mother Yang was not worried that they could speak clearly.

So today we begin. She had been anxious, thinking about how to open her mouth to lead the conversation to the matter of the fifth lady's visit in the morning.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Jiu opened her mouth happily.

Dongyu asked directly, and Mother Yang also saved some saliva, so she smiled and said, "Madame asked the slave maid to send some tonic medicine to my aunt and grandmother." What do you say? My aunt and grandmother were serious. ”

Dongyu listened and smiled slightly. I thought that this old mother was very good at talking, better than her stepmother Yang. She asked, "Mom, Mother came here in the morning, and you come here now, Grandmother doesn't know, right?" ”

Mother Yang was stunned again, and she didn't dare to lie, and said, "The old lady doesn't know, aunt and grandmother." The old lady has recently been exempted from the morning and dusk of the lady. When the lady and the slave went out, they didn't dare to disturb the old lady to know. ”

The old lady exempted the fifth lady from the morning and dusk?

Dongyu could hear that Mother Yang should mean that the fifth lady was very angry with the old lady, and the old lady did not allow the fifth lady to go to Rongde Pavilion again. The fifth lady couldn't intercede in front of the old lady, so she had to come to Dongyi.

Such a fifth lady with a concubine, children, and an aunt, the old lady is really not good at forbidding her feet. If she is grounded, her prestige will be ruined in the future, and she will not be able to subdue everyone, will the old lady personally manage the affairs of the fifth master's room?

The fifth lady's feet can't be forbidden, but she is not allowed to go to Rongde Pavilion again, lest the old lady look at it and get bored. It's like an old lady's temper.

Dong Ying bowed slightly.

She said, "My mother has nothing to say to her. I want to ask my mother, what did Miss Twelve say to the young master of the Chen family? ”

"That's what the old lady meant." Mother Yang's smile became reluctant, "Said that the young master of the Chen family is a young talent, and he is about to pass the Spring Festival, if he wins the Jinshi, he will get married within this year; If not, I will wait for three years and wait for Young Master Chen to reach high school. Make a marriage contract first. ”

Dong Ying bowed his head and motioned for her to continue.

"Miss Twelve said that the young master of the Chen family once wanted to kiss the fifth aunt and grandmother, but the fifth aunt and grandmother were unwilling, so they gave up. Now I will say it to Miss Twelve. Miss Twelve felt that she had picked up the remnants of her fifth aunt and grandmother, and she was not happy. Mother Yang said softly, holding the tea cup in her hand, not daring to drink, "The old lady said that the young master of the Chen family and the fifth aunt and grandmother did not agree, so they gave up, and it was not something left!" Miss Twelve didn't believe it, and bumped into the old lady in front of her a few words"

With that, she looked at Dongyu uneasily.

Dong Yu's face was slightly gloomy.

Mother Yang saw that she didn't speak, so she had to continue: "It just so happened that the old marquis came back, and the old marquis was angry and wanted to send the twelfth lady to the family temple. The fifth master and the fifth lady pleaded, but it was useless. The old lady finally persuaded the old marquis to only let Miss Twelve be grounded for three months. ”

Dong Yu was speechless for a long time.

The inner room was so quiet that you could even hear the chirping of finches in the cages under the eaves.

Mother Yang was just an old lady who wanted to tell Xue Donglin to the Chen family, but she didn't say why she suddenly wanted to say goodbye to Xue Donglin. According to the old lady's temper, knowing that the fifth lady is that unclear temperament, how can she care about her daughter's marriage?

As long as it's not outrageous, the old lady will turn a blind eye.

And the fifth lady said goodbye to Xue Donglin, so she naturally picked up Gao Zhipan. This alone will not lose the face of the Marquis of Zhenxian's Mansion.

If there was no Sheng Xiuyi's matter mixed in, the old lady would probably not care about Xue Donglin, so as not to be angry with her son and daughter-in-law at this age, and also to be angry with the ignorant granddaughter.

Dong Ying guessed that it should be related to what the fifth lady said in the morning and something related to Sheng Xiuyi.

She still didn't understand what the Fifth Lady was trying to say.

If it was just to scold Dongyu for a breath, and I scolded it in the morning, why did I call this mother?

She remained silent and continued to wait for Mother Yang to continue.

Mother Yang didn't answer a word when she saw Dongyu, but she hadn't said anything about her topic yet, and she couldn't help but say it. If you don't explain it, it's not good to go back, and you don't dare to hide it, so you paused, and said: "There is a saying, slaves don't know whether to say it or not."

If you shouldn't say it, you shouldn't ask like that. Dongyu thought in her heart, but said in her mouth: "Mom, it's okay to say." ”

"The old lady herself, she is old, and she didn't want to go past the fifth master and the fifth lady to worry about the marriage of the twelfth lady. It was only a few days ago that something happened that Miss Twelve made a joke, and the old lady remembered to kiss her first. Mother Yang said in a low voice, and glanced at Dongyu to test her reaction.

Sure enough, Dong Yu's brows moved slightly, and she asked, "Is Sister Lin naughty again?" ”

As for why Xue Donglin was said to be a parent, it can be counted as the thing that Aunt Jiu is most concerned about, right?

Mother Yang thought about it, and her heart was finally lighter, and Dongyu listened to Mother Yang's words alone silently, which made Mother Yang breathe and couldn't breathe.

Gasping for breath at this moment, Mother Yang's expression also relaxed a little, and she said in a low voice: "It's not naughty." Lord Xiang's daughter and courtesy, invited the fifth lady and the twelfth lady as guests. There are also several other daughters who laugh mischievously. Princess Hexu's daughter also went, and when she talked about Aunt Jiu, she probably said that Aunt Jiu's trip to the northwest was not worthy of the name. Miss Twelve was angry and quarreled with her. Princess Cozy is the most rude temper again, and she came to protect her daughter's shortcomings, and the old lady only then knew about it."

It's very vague.

Xue Donglin said that Sheng Xiuyi was good in public, and maybe he said something that shouldn't be said, and even let people see some clues, right?

The old lady was afraid that if it dragged on like this, sooner or later the reputation of the Xue family would be ruined. Discipline is no longer possible, after all, she is old. It's better to marry early. After leaving the cabinet, I will always be more sensible, and those foolish thoughts will be forgotten.

Dong Ying gradually understood what the Yang family was planning, and also understood the purpose of Yang's mother's trip, and she couldn't help but laugh in her heart.
