Dongyu has indeed lost some weight, to the point where she looked before confinement.
Compared to Sheng Xiuyi and Mrs. Sheng, her emaciation is nothing.
Despite the torrential rain and the scorching heat subsided, the afternoon sun was still scorching. Dongyu invited Mrs. Xue to get into the carriage and went to Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion.
Mrs. Sheng had already woken up, and when she heard that Mrs. Yanxi had come to visit her, she was also confused for a long time.
When I saw that it was Dongyu's aunt, I understood. She was about to get up and get out of bed, but Mrs. Xue stepped forward and supported her: "You lie down quickly." I came to visit you, but you were tired? β
Mrs. Sheng didn't shirk either, leaning on the big pillow, and Dong Ying instructed the maids to bring Mrs. Xue's Taishi chair over and put it next to Mrs. Sheng's bed.
Mrs. Xue sat and talked to Mrs. Sheng, and Dong Yu held tea to her.
"How is the old ancestor lately?" Mrs. Sheng asked with a smile, "I am a junior, but my body is not good, and I may not have gone to ask my ancestors for a long time." β
Mrs. Xue hurriedly smiled and said, "The old ancestor is healthy. You are in charge of this big business, and you must be tired......"
"Now it's Ah Ying who helps take care of it, and I don't care about it." Mrs. Sheng said with a smile, "Enjoy the blessings, take care of your body and go to the ancestors to say goodbye." β
Mrs. Xue glanced at Dong Yu and was a little surprised. Her mood changed quickly, and surprise only flashed from the bottom of her eyes, and she took Mrs. Sheng's words: "You just take care of your body." β
After saying kind words for a long time, Mrs. Xue watched Mrs. Sheng gradually lose energy, and she didn't want to bother much, so she asked the maid who came with her to take two brocade boxes and show them to Mrs. Sheng: "The bird's nest that the third master of our family got back from Nanwan Kingdom." I heard that it came from Nanyang, and it was better than buying it outside. The ancestor asked him to send it to you to replenish your body. β
Mrs. Sheng wanted to excuse herself, but Mrs. Xue said again: "The third master is now the teacher of the lord of Nanwan Kingdom, and he has sent more than a dozen boxes back to honor his ancestors. This is what my ancestors specially asked me to give to you. Don't dislike something bad, just try it. β
Mrs. Sheng didn't want to push it anymore, thank you and thank you.
Mrs. Xue smiled and told her not to be polite. I gave it to Dongyu casually.
Dongyu took it, thanked her, and handed it to Mother Kang on the side to take it.
Mrs. Xue said some auspicious words again, and Mrs. Zhu Sheng had already recovered. followed Dongyu out of Yuanyang Pavilion.
Dongyu asked her to go to the Jingshi Courtyard to sit down and go back.
Mrs. Xue said yes.
"Now you are the one in charge of the house?" When she arrived at the Jingshi Courtyard and sat down, Mrs. Xue took Dong Yu's hand and asked quietly.
Dong Ying smiled slightly and nodded yes.
Mrs. Xue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your grandmother is always worried that you are not living in the Sheng family. Now it's good. I'll go back and tell your grandmother, and I'll be happy. β
Dongyu lowered her head and smiled again, just as the maid came in with a teacup.
She took it with her own hands and handed it to Mrs. Xue. Ask her, "Is there anything going on at home?" β
"There's a lot going on." Mrs. Xue took the teacup and drank it slowly, with a spring breeze of smug joy between her eyebrows, "Your uncle has made a marquis, and the Holy Lord has rewarded us with an opening house." After thinking about it, I bought the gatehouse on the west street in our house, and built a house in connection with the Zhenxian Marquis's Mansion. When the other side was covered, he went out through the corner door from the Yuanfeng Pavilion. When the corner gate is closed, there are two mansions. It's still a family when you open the corner door, it's cheap and affectionate......"
Dongyu listened and couldn't help but be happy: "That's the best." When will construction begin? β
"It's all set. I also looked at feng shui and days, and started construction on July 20. Mrs. Xue was full of pride, and a smile overflowed the corners of her eyes, "On the day of the start of construction, the house will invite guests to sing in the hall, and I will give you a post for your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." β
"I'm going." Dong Yu assured.
She hadn't been back to see her grandmother for a long time.
Mrs. Xue smiled and said yes.
Dongyu remembered that the fifth lady Yang had a fuss in her confinement, and then there was no news, she wanted to know the following text, so she asked Mrs. Xue: "Sister Lin'er's matter, is it decided?" β
Mrs. Xue paused. sighed: "No, this time it was completely pushed." I'll ...... in front of Mrs. Yuan," so he stopped talking, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
She doesn't say that Dongyu understands.
Mrs. Yuan, Marquis of Jianzhao, and her aunt are very good friends, and the two are like sisters. Mrs. Yuan's maiden family, Chen Shilang's mansion, really wants to marry the Xue family. But Xue Dongrong, the second room of the Xue family, and Xue Donglin, the fifth room, were both pushed. Although the old lady has the heart to make face for the eldest lady, the concubine and niece don't give face. The old lady was helpless.
The eldest lady also lost face in front of Mrs. Yuan.
The son of the Chen family is young and promising, not a gentleman, and the eldest lady speaks for the nieces, not to harm the children. As a result, they trampled her love under their feet one by one, calling her not a human being inside and out.
If Mrs. Xue is a little more vicious and uses some means, I am afraid that things will not be so easy to refuse.
She also thinks that she has two daughters, and she understands the heart of being a mother very well. Who doesn't want their daughter to marry well? Others say it's good, but they don't like it, how can they rest assured that they will marry their daughter?
Treat others with herself, and the fifth lady is a character who only cares about herself and doesn't want others, and the eldest lady suffers a loss, and it is known to the world that she is not easy to shout. I was angry, so I didn't bother to care.
She is a sister-in-law, and it is not good to complain about the concubines in front of Dongyu, the niece. She was not happy in her heart, so the words came out of her mind.
As soon as he said it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he hurriedly stopped.
Dongyu didn't pick it up anymore.
ββ¦β¦ Your Majesty has conferred the title of Marquis of Yanxi, your eldest uncle, and rewarded your grandfather with the title that can be given to the second son. Mrs. Xue smiled, "These days, your father and mother are fighting famine in front of your grandmother every day. β
Dong Yu was slightly surprised.
In the words of the second son, the second uncle died; The third uncle went to Nanwan to be the teacher of the lord of the country, and often watched him send some rare uses back, it should be a good mix, he probably didn't want to go back to Beijing to be constrained; The fourth uncle is a concubine.
So, the grandfather's title will fall to Dongyu's father Xue Ziming?
Dong Ying thought of the domineering appearance of the fifth lady Yang, and had some reservations in his heart.
She raised her eyes and looked at the eldest lady, and asked with a smile: "Grandfather, please decree, has you made your father the prince?" β
The eldest lady gently saw the tea cup resting on the kang table, her eyes changed, and she said with a smile: "I didn't say it for the time being." Please ask for advice or not, left is just a matter of the past few days. β
Dong Yu said no more.
The eldest lady said again: "Look at me, just talk about these corners and corners, and forget about the matter." Your second sister came back a few days ago and told me something. Your second brother-in-law has a younger sister who only passed away in August this year......"
Dong Yu immediately thought of the third master, Sheng Xiumu.
My aunt is here to talk about it, huh?
Seeing that her expression was slightly unnatural, the eldest lady immediately understood her scruples, and said with a smile: "I'm not here to force you." If you don't believe your eldest aunt, ask someone to inquire about what kind of character the seventh lady of the Shan Guo Mansion is......
Dong Yu hurriedly smiled: "How can I not believe the eldest aunt?" The second brother-in-law's house is also thinking about marrying the third master of our family? β
The eldest lady didn't lie in front of Dong Ying, and said, "Now this unmarried noble man in the capital, which one is better than the third master of your family?" Who doesn't covet? β
"But... My father-in-law ......," Dong Yu said vaguely.
The eldest lady understood, and said with a smile: "It was your father-in-law who resigned from the official position, and your second brother-in-law and second sister had such thoughts." Look at the fate of the Xiao family, who didn't sweat for your family before? β
Although the Marquis of Sheng Chang resigned, he was also a veteran of the two dynasties, and his protΓ©gΓ©s were all over the government and the opposition. He was not in the temple, and the Shengjing Wang clan did not dare to look down at him.
On the contrary, he stepped back from the cusp, and the knowledgeable family was more willing to marry his daughter to Mu Enbo Sheng Xiumu.
The words have already been spoken, and the eldest lady is sincere, and Dong Ying does not hide it, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law used to have the final say on family affairs. I don't know what he's going to do now. Tomorrow, when I say goodbye, mention it to my mother-in-law. Auntie, don't go back to the second sister yet, this matter may not be ......"
The eldest lady asked why.
Dong Ying married Qin Yi, the princess of Harmony's concubine, to Qin Yi, and the goal was to marry Princess Harmony's daughter to Mu Enbo, and tell the eldest lady.
"Marry her daughter?" The eldest lady was slightly surprised, and then smiled, "Sister Yu, the eldest aunt said something to you that is heart-wrenching, and marrying back is also a disaster!" What kind of docile and virtuous daughter can Princess Cozy raise? I've seen her daughter a few times, and it's even more difficult than Sister Lin. At least our sister Lin didn't dare to sprinkle in front of your grandmother, the daughter of Princess Kindness, but she was not afraid at all. β
"I know it too." Dong Yu said, "But what my father thinks, I can't make the decision, I can only help Titi." You wait for my letter. β
The eldest lady said yes.
The next day, Dongyu went to greet Mrs. Sheng and told Mrs. Sheng about it.
"I know ...... Shan Guo Mansion," Mrs. Sheng said with a smile, "Mrs. Shan used to be okay with me, and often came to our mansion to walk around. She is not in good health, so she went early, and now it's almost ten years, right? Later, I met the lady who was newly married by Shan Guogong a few times, but I didn't fall in love very much, so I gradually stopped interacting with their house. The seventh lady that your aunt said, was she born to the first lady, or was it born to the current lady? β
The old Duke Shan passed away last year, and Dong Yu's second brother-in-law inherited the title of Duke Shan Guo.
The current Mrs. Tai refers to the stepwife of the old Shan Guogong.
"It was born to Mrs. Xian, and she is now the sister of Shan Guogong." Dong Yu explained.
Mrs. Sheng was a little moved.
"I'll talk to Master Hou at night. It is said that the daughter's character is like that of her biological mother, if this is the case, that Miss Seven should vote for my temper. Mrs. Sheng said.
Dong Yu said yes.
Later in the evening, Marquis Sheng Changhou returned to the inner courtyard, and Mrs. Sheng told him about it.
He thought for a moment and said, "Is it Brother Yi's daughter-in-law who said this?" β
Mrs. Sheng was afraid that Marquis Sheng Chang would blame Dongyu for being troublesome, so she pulled out her friendship with Mrs. Shan Guoxian and nagged again.
Sheng Changhou said: "You don't have to cover it up for her. She is only in charge, and since she has spoken about it, she can't refute her decency. Tomorrow, I will officially ask someone to inquire about Miss Shan Qi. The side is not informal, and the personality is more relaxed. Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on fate. (To be continued)
