Section 217 Affair (2)
It's shoe making again.
Since Aunt Tao went out, Shao Zitan has been so diligent that she doesn't know what to do with her.
In the past six months, Dong Ying has not allowed Sheng Xiuyi to go to the aunts, and Xue Jiangwan will complain; Aunt Fan will despise Dongyu and speak ill of her behind her back; Only Shao Zitan did not complain at all, and often made shoes and socks for Dongyu and Brother Cheng, and was diligent.
Dongying asked her not to do it again, and she was so frightened that she cried with snot and tears, crying heartbreakingly, as if Dongying was going to drive her away.
Now, seeing that she made two pairs of double-beam shoes for Dong Ying and Sheng Xiuyi, especially Dong Yuan's, which are so delicate that they seem to be works of art, Dong Ying is very helpless.
"Aunt Shao bothered." Dong Yu said lightly, "I also have people who make shoes here, you don't have to be tired, you don't have to do this next time." ”
Shao Zitan listened and said yes softly.
She'll do it next time. Every time I say her, I agree respectfully, but next time I do it.
Aunt Fan was amused by Shao Zitan's pretentious appearance, and couldn't help but sneer. But the room was very quiet, and her laughter was clear and abrupt, and she was busy coughing to cover it.
"Aunt Fan, are you caught the cold?" Dongyu looked back at her and asked her.
Aunt Fan hurriedly coughed a few more times, and said, "It's quite cold these days, and the concubine does suffer from some wind cold......
"Then you have a good rest, you don't have to come here to say hello for half a month." Dongyu Road.
The aunts can't go out, and they also go to other aunts to hang out on weekdays, and the most important thing is to go to the housemother to say goodbye. Letting Aunt Fan not use it to ask for peace is equivalent to grounding her.
Shao Zitan and Xue Jiangwan both lowered their heads and laughed.
Aunt Fan has always been lonely. The prince doesn't like her, and everyone in the Sheng Mansion knows it. And she doesn't talk to the prince. doesn't please the grandmother, it's really incredible.
Xue Jiangwan always felt that there was something wrong with this Aunt Fan's brain.
Besides, on weekdays, when they go in and out of a small courtyard, Aunt Fan bullies Shao Zitan and Xue Jiangwan a lot, and the two don't like Aunt Fan either.
Aunt Fan listened to Dongjin's words. A smile appeared on his face. As if Dongyu had given her great glory, she stepped forward to salute Shi Shiran, and said in a pleasant voice: "Thank you for your grace." ”
Dong Ying was also quite speechless in his heart.
This Aunt Fan. It was useless to beat her.
People say that if there is no desire, then there is rigidity. Aunt Fan seems to really have no desires for the Sheng family, so whether Dongyu ignores her or beats her, she doesn't care, she still does her own thing.
But such a blatant ridicule of other aunts must be punished.
Although this punishment has no effect.
Dong Yu didn't say anything more, and brought tea and asked them all to go back.
Aunt Fan got up and was the first to say goodbye; Xue Jiangwan followed behind Aunt Fan. Shao Zitan has never been clever around Dongyi. This time, he was actually a step behind, stepped forward to salute Dongyi, and then whispered: "Grandma, the slave maid has something to ask grandma." ”
I didn't say it just now, but I only mentioned it now. That must be to tell Dong Yu alone, and he doesn't want to be heard by other aunts.
Dong Ying bowed slightly.
Xue Jiang paused in his footsteps, wanting to hear what Shao Zitan said before leaving. But Aunt Fan didn't look back, Xue Jiangwan remembered Dongyi's attitude just now, and didn't dare to stay any longer, and left a little unwillingly.
Only then did Dong Ying ask Shao Zitan what was the matter.
"Grandma, Zhilan beside the slave is already twenty years old. She has been by her side for many years, serving her slaves and maids with all her heart. The slave maid wants to ask the grandmother for a favor. Let her out to match people. Shao Zitan said softly.
That's the right thing.
The maids in the family are old, and they should indeed be released to match people.
Although they were not released until they were twenty-five years old, when they were about twenty years old, as long as they were not punished, the masters would release them while they were young, and they would not serve in vain.
This is also to tell the other younger maids. As long as you do things well, you will naturally not embarrass them, and you will definitely give them grace and go back to find a good home as soon as possible.
"I know what to expect." Dong Yu smiled.
Shao Zitan didn't dare to ask more, and said yes in a low voice, ready to quit and quit.
"Aunt Shao." Dong Yu called her.
Shao Zitan hurriedly stopped and stood respectfully aside.
"In the future, you don't need to make shoes for me and the prince. If needed, I will call you. There was no smile in Dong Yu's voice this time, "If you do something wrong, even if you make me shoes every day, I will still punish you." Do you understand? ”
That is to say, her making shoes does not mean that Dongyu will see her as her own.
Shao Zitan's body trembled, and he said weakly for a while.
"The clothes, shoes and socks at home are all custom-made, and you are not the one who makes shoes for us, so you don't have to work hard." Seeing her like this, Dongyu thought that she had always been honest, and felt a little unbearable in her heart, and added.
Shao Zitan listened to this, his spirit was slightly straight, and he was busy saying yes.
After she left, Dong Ying called Rose, Xun Fang, and Biqiu to come in, and asked them to count the aunts, Sheng Lehao, Sheng Leyun and the maids in the Jing Courtyard, which of them were over twenty years old, and they were going to be released at the beginning of the lunar month, and they would buy a batch of maids next spring to fill them.
Rose, Xun Fang, and Bi Qiu got the order, and the three of them went one after another.
Yao Tao, Tang Hong and Luo's mother are still serving by their side, and Dong Ying still takes out a needle and thread to make hand guards for Sheng Leyun.
Before a few stitches were done, Sheng Lehao and Sheng Leyun brothers and sisters came to say goodbye to Dongyu.
Sheng Lehao was wearing a bluestone-colored gray squirrel big squirrel coat, a royal blue velvet jacket, a dark blue straight jacket, and foundation soap boots, and his face contour became more and more like Sheng Xiuyi. Compared to when Dong Yu first entered the door, he has grown a lot taller, but he is still very thin.
A boy at this age is growing taller, so he is thin and thin.
He respectfully saluted Dongyu and called out to his mother.
Sheng Leyun was wearing a bright red silk cloak, a pink Ruyi moire collared long jacket, an official green brocade skirt, a double bun on her head, and four beaded flowers. She looks like Shao Zisandalwood, her appearance is not beautiful enough, but she is kind and amiable.
Dong Ying asked Sheng Leyun to sit beside him, and Sheng Lehao sat on the Taishi chair on the side.
Then he called Luo's mother to come in and asked her to take out the horse coat she made for Sheng Lehao and give it to him.
As soon as Sheng Le Hao heard that he had clothes for him, he immediately stood up and waved to Dong Yu: "Thank you, mother." ”
Dong Yu smiled.
Luo's mother came out after a while. handed the clothes into Sheng Lehao's hands, and said with a smile: "Young master, this is sewn by the eldest grandmother herself." The best felt velvet is the most cold-proof. Although the leather is a little heavy. But when you read at night and dress for yourself, it's not cold at all. ”
Sheng Lehao didn't expect that it was made by Dong Yu himself, so he took it in his hand in a daze. Look at the fine stitches. He couldn't help but be moved.
If this is a stepmother's stammering with her child, Sheng Lehao also feels that such a knot is very warm.
He didn't have any aversion to this kind of stuttering, but enjoyed it.
He gave Dong Ying a deep bow and said, "Thank you mother!" ”
It's a simple four words, but it's very powerful. Compared with the politeness just now, his gratitude now is from the bottom of his heart.
Dong Ying smiled and said, "It's not good." You should only think of it as your mother's heart, don't dislike it. Then, without waiting for Sheng Lehao to speak, he took Sheng Leyun's hand and said, "Mother is also going to make double handguards for you." It's just that you've recently driven your brother's horse coat, and yours hasn't done it yet. You wait a few days. ”
Sheng Leyun was pleasantly surprised: "Do I have it too?" ”
"Of course." Dongyu blinked and smiled.
Sheng Leyun smiled and said happily: "Thank you mother." ”
In fact, she should have a lot of hand guards, but when she heard that Dong Ying was going to give her hand guards, she was still so happy, which made Dong Ying feel that this child knew how to be grateful.
In this way, Dongyu really has a feeling of motherly and filial piety to them.
The thought flashed, and Dong Ying looked at them and smiled slightly.
The two children sat for a while. Dong Yu let them go back.
In the middle of the afternoon, Rose, Xunfang, and Biqiu came back one after another and told Dongyu about the situation in their courtyard.
"The Zhilan beside Aunt Shao, the Rue Xiang next to Aunt Fan, and the wisteria next to the eldest young master are all twenty years old." Rose told Dongyu.
"The wisteria and asters around the eldest young master are all rewarded by the lady......" Dong Yu groaned slightly, "I will ask the lady tomorrow first." ”
The next day, I went to greet Mrs. Sheng. Dong Ying told Mrs. Sheng about this.
Mrs. Sheng called Mother Kang and asked Mother Kang, "Wisteria is twenty years old, and Aster is not young, right?" ”
Kang's mother smiled: "Aster is more than a year younger than wisteria......
Mrs. Sheng stroked her forehead and smiled at Dong Yu, "I thought the two of them were the same age. In this case, Ziyuan will stay for a few years, and she will take care of the affairs in Brother Hao'er's yard, so you can also worry about it. Wisteria let it out. ”
Higashi-dori Road is.
Mrs. Sheng paused, and then said, "Choose two more for Brother Hao to serve, and choose from the powerful maids around you." It's best to be no more than fifteen years old and look neat. If there's anything good, bring it to me first......"
Dong Yu was slightly stunned, and then reacted.
This...... Is this to choose a room girl for Sheng Le Hao?
The boy was only thirteen years old.
Seeing Dongyu's slightly surprised expression, Mrs. Sheng knew that she understood, and laughed: "I told Master Hou about Brother Hao'er's marriage." What Hou Ye means is to let him take the test first and then talk about his family. ”
Then he sighed again, "Where is it so easy to test fame?" So I first thought about choosing two girls who knew cold and hot to put in the room. If you hadn't said this, I would have mentioned it to you in the New Year. Since you said it, let's do it together. ”
Dongyu couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
If you release the maid in the room now, will it delay the child's learning?
When I was a teenager, wasn't I just sensitive to this?
But Mrs. Sheng said it, and Dong Yu couldn't refute it. This is a conflict of concepts, if she raises objections, she still thinks that she has some crooked thoughts and does not think about Sheng Lehao.
A stepmother should have the measure of a stepmother.
Higashi-dori Road is.
After she returned to the Jing Courtyard, she instructed Rose to tell Aunt Shao and Aunt Fan the news, and took out a needle and thread to make a hand guard for Sheng Leyu.
After a few clicks, I heard the maid outside say that Aunt Fan was here.
The maid's voice fell slightly, and Aunt Fan hurriedly rushed in.
