When Mrs. Sheng saw that Marquis Sheng Chang happily agreed to visit Miss Shan Qi, her heart fell.
The next day, Dongying went to ask for peace, and she told Dongying about it, urging Dongying to do it as soon as possible.
Dong Yu smiled and said, "I'll find a reason tomorrow and go back to see my aunt." It's best to ask the Shan Guo Mansion to arrange for us to meet Miss Shan Qi. The words in the mouth of the matchmaker are always not fully believed. Who hasn't picked up good things to say? ”
Mrs. Sheng nodded: "Let's see for ourselves, naturally it's best." But it can't be too obvious. If it doesn't work, how can the girl's face get by? Her sister-in-law is your cousin again, and there will be a gap between your sisters in the future. ”
Higashi-dori Road is.
In the evening, Sheng Xiuyi returned to the Jingshi Academy, and Dong Ying told him about it.
He thought for a while and said, "The Shan Guo Mansion is a poetry and book heirloom, and the door style is rigorous; Although Shan Guogong is young, he is arrogant and honest, and he does not make friends with any forces in the DPRK and China, which is the most rare. ”
"Where is the third master......" Dong Ying asked hesitantly.
She is also afraid that the third master himself has a fancy family. If he is not satisfied, he will also make a fuss and mess up the marriage, and the eldest aunt Rong's heart is afraid that it will be broken.
The eldest aunt Rong acted as a matchmaker for Xue Dongrong and Xue Donglin, but it didn't end well.
This time, if it weren't for the second sister being her own biological daughter, the eldest aunt would be afraid and unwilling to take care of this matter for the Shan Guo Mansion.
Sheng Xiuyi smiled lightly: "As long as Daddy agrees, it's fine......"
That is to say, the third master Sheng Xiumu did not dare to disobey Sheng Changhou. As long as the Marquis of Sheng Chang agrees, this marriage can be completed.
"Then I'll go back to the Zhenxian Marquis Mansion tomorrow and meet the eldest aunt." Dong Yu said, and then there was some difficulty, "What to bring with you?" Every time my aunt came, she always brought us something new and ingenious......"
Sheng Xiuyi said: "Is watermelon okay?" ”
Dong Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up, and said, "At this time, can you get watermelon?" "In this era, there was no greenhouse cultivation, and most watermelons were only marketed around the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Sheng Jing can eat watermelon, at least until mid-August.
It's only mid-July.
Sheng Xiuyi smiled: "I can get it." But tomorrow is too late. Will it be done the day after tomorrow? ”
Dong Yu thought about it, there was indeed nothing new and ingenious at home. The Sheng family has it, and the Xue Mansion is not lacking. She went back to the house, and it was not good to leave empty-handed. Let people guess the purpose of her going.
Things are undecided, and the less people know about it, the better.
"Then I'll go the day after tomorrow." Dongyu Road.
In the afternoon of the next day, the little maids in the outer courtyard carried a few baskets of watermelons in the big sun, all of them shiny and round, and two or three of them were full of baskets.
"Grandma, the prince said. The watermelon you want is loaded in the outer yard. These are sent in for everyone to try. Lai'an said to Dongyi.
Dong Ying smiled and asked Rose to send a few dollars from the little guys carrying the basket.
After Lai'an and the little servants went out, the maids in Jingshi Courtyard helped Dongyu count, a total of ten large watermelons.
"Madame's Yuanyang Pavilion sends three, pick up the largest; the second grandmother's Xiguiyuan sent two; Miss Cousin, Miss Major, and Miss Second will each send one, and we will keep two for ourselves. Dong Yu said to the people who served around him.
Rose went out and arranged for the rough mother-in-law to come in and carry the watermelons everywhere.
Mother Luo arranged for the big girl to go with her: Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion, let Rose go; The second grandmother called Xun Fang to go; Miss Table, Miss Eldest and Miss Second. They are Biqiu, Yao Tao and the second-class maid Qiuwen.
It's still hot today, and the sun is still quite scorching in the middle of the afternoon. Rose didn't want to force these maids to suffer, so she first rewarded the person who carried the basket with twenty cents.
Then the crowd was willing. They each carried watermelons and followed the big girl.
Dongyu asked the little maid to hold an umbrella by herself, went to Yuanyang Pavilion by herself, and told Mrs. Sheng the reason for the incident.
Mrs. Sheng also felt that their husband and wife had done this properly, so she smiled and said, "Brother Yi'er, where did you get this Qiaozong?" This is the time of year to bring in such a big watermelon. ”
Dongyu didn't know, and said with a smile: "Mother, cut it for you to taste." ”
"Put it in ice water." Mrs. Sheng looked good today, and said with a smile, "Mother, this is better, where can I eat raw and cold things?" You cut it and eat it......"
Dong Yu said: "I still have it there, so I won't eat it here." Besides, I have only come in the sun. The body is hot, and I am afraid that I will feel uncomfortable when I eat cold. ”
Mrs. Sheng didn't let her anymore.
Mother Kang said on the side: "Madam, it's better to pour in the ice water first, and wait for the Hou Ye to come back and eat ...... evening."
Mrs. Sheng nodded and said yes.
Kang's mother instructed Citron to go and chill the watermelon with ice water, and instructed Xiangzhi to send the ladies who carried the basket in the Dongyuan courtyard to hang two pieces of money.
Mrs. Sheng has the most reward here.
The others also sent their mothers-in-law and maids to reward money.
Only the second grandmother was not very happy.
"Although our second master is not born to Mrs. But it is also raised in the name of his wife, and in the future, he will be separated, and one of the three shares of the Shengchang Marquis Mansion belongs to our second master. Why did Zhuangzi bring fresh food and send it to Xue's yard, so that she could be a good person and please the whole family? The second grandmother said indignantly.
Mother Ge, who was serving on the side, lowered her voice and said, "More than that." I heard that there were more than 20 cars in the outer courtyard, and all of them were even more round than the ones sent in. That's for the eldest grandmother to go back to her parents' house tomorrow. ”
The second grandmother was even more angry: "Her Xue family is the daughter-in-law of the Sheng family, so I'm not?" She wants to go back to her parents' home, and I don't have my mother's home? I'm going back tomorrow. Lilac, you go to the outer courtyard and talk to Manager Lin, and ask him to prepare some for me, I will go back to my mother's house tomorrow. ”
Then he got up and got off the kang and said, "I'll go back to my mother." ”
When the second grandmother came, Dong Ying was talking to Mrs. Sheng. There was no room ice in the house, and the little maid on the side helped to fan.
Seeing that the second grandmother invited An to come earlier today, Kang's mother was slightly surprised. She always counted the hours and never wanted to come early.
The second grandmother went straight into the inner room, greeted Mrs. Sheng, and then told Mrs. Sheng about her desire to go back to her parents' house tomorrow.
Mrs. Sheng was never harsh on her daughters-in-law, but when she went back to her parents' house, she smiled and said, "Go, go, go." Just on a hot day, carefully heat stroke. ”
The second grandmother smiled and said yes.
The sun was gradually turning west, and Dongyu was about to go back to eat, so together with the second grandmother, he got up and quit Mrs. Sheng.
As soon as he walked out of the long corridor in front of the courtyard of Yuanyang Pavilion, he saw Mother Ge next to the second grandmother coming over. Dongyu only came to pick up the second grandmother, so she smiled and woke up with the second grandmother to say goodbye.
Mother Ge muttered a few words in the second grandmother's ear, and the second grandmother's face suddenly looked bad.
She looked at Dongyi's back as she walked away, the arrogance in her heart came up, she stepped forward quickly, and shouted loudly to Dongyi, telling her to wait.
Dong Yu stopped his steps and turned back to look at the second grandmother.
The roses and maids who followed Dongyu were a little surprised, and they all walked around behind Dongyi.
"Sister-in-law, are you going back to your parents' house tomorrow?" The second grandmother's face was not very good, and her tone was open-minded.
Dong Yu was slightly surprised, and then smiled: "Yes." I was going to go today. It's too hot, so I'll go tomorrow. ”
The second grandmother sneered: "I heard that the watermelon sent in today, I heard that the housekeeper outside picked some to stay, and the sister-in-law will bring it back to her parents' house tomorrow?" ”
Only then did Dong Yu know why the second grandmother suddenly proposed to go back to her parents' house.
It turned out to be a watermelon thing.
She found it boring.
"yes." Dong Yu still smiled, "I told the prince yesterday that I wanted to go back to my parents' house and wanted something new and ingenious, and the prince asked someone to send it today." Have the second siblings tasted it, does it taste good? ”
"It tastes good, of course." The second grandmother said coldly, "Sister-in-law, I have to go back to my parents' house tomorrow, can you give me some of it?" I also brought it back and asked my mother's family to try it. At this time of year, watermelons are a rarity. ”
"No." Dong Yu smiled, "Those are all fixed amounts, but I'm afraid there won't be any more." Second brother and sister, there is still something in my hospital, so I will go back first. ”
After that, he turned around and left with a large group of maids and mothers-in-law.
Forbearance will not make Ge grateful, it will only make her gain an inch. Since Dong Ying entered the door, Ge has never had good intentions towards Dong Yuan.
She reminded Dong Ying of her middle and high school classmates. The rejection of outsiders such as transfer students by those girls is the same as the rejection of Dongying by the second grandmother.
The second grandmother, Ge's mother and her maids were stunned and looked at Dongyu's distant back, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
didn't hide it at all, so he told the second grandmother directly: No!
The second grandmother came back to her senses, and her body trembled with anger. She pointed in the direction where Dong Yu had gone: "She...... How dare she be so arrogant! What kind of thing is she? Even if she is a princess, she is only the stepfamily of the Sheng family, and my second master of the Ge family is the original match! She ......"
She gasped for breath.
The maid Holly hurriedly supported her.
Mother Ge persuaded on the side: "Second grandmother, now Master Hou has given the housekeeper's pair of cards to the eldest grandmother." Did she do that to you before? Now people's waists are straight. ”
With that, he sighed deeply.
The second grandmother was even more angry.
She originally got Mrs. Sheng's consent that she could go out of the house and return to her parents' house tomorrow, and she was in a very good mood. At this moment, he was simply furious, and his original good mood was in vain.
When he returned to Xiguiyuan with a stomach, the second master Sheng Xiuhai had already returned, and he was sitting on the big kang near the window in the east room, with a gloomy face.
The second grandmother was slightly stunned, what happened?
"Second master......" The second grandmother was about to open her mouth to complain, but the second master stared at her suddenly.
"You're going back to your parents' house tomorrow?" The second master asked coldly.
The second grandmother said yes, and was about to explain, but the second grandmother said again: "You went to the outer courtyard to ask for watermelon?" ”
The steward of the outer courtyard has sued the second master!
The second grandmother was even more angry, and couldn't help crying: "What if you want it?" Can the things at home only be given to her Xue? Am I not the daughter-in-law of the Sheng family? Let her once, she thought that I was a bully, and in the future, nothing good at home would fall into the hands of our second room. ”
"Don't cry!" The second master suddenly raised his voice, stood up, pointed at the second grandmother and scolded, "Who told you that it was sent from the Zhuangzi at home?" ”
