When Dong Ying and Rose bypassed the corner gate of the Yanxi Marquis's Mansion, they met the first-class maid Hua Ren beside the eldest lady. (。。 ｃｏｍ)

When she saw Dongyu's master and servant, she was stunned at first, and then chuckled like a sudden realization: "Grandma Jiu is going to Rongde Pavilion, right?" The second aunt and grandmother just went. The slave maid showed the way to Aunt Jiu, and the corner gate was reopened here, and you haven't walked through it yet. ”

Hua Ren means that the Yanxi Marquis Mansion and the Zhenxian Marquis Mansion have reopened the road, and there is a shortcut to the old lady.

Dong Yu smiled and thanked him, and followed Hua Ren to Rongde Pavilion.

The second girl, Xue Dongyu, really spoke in front of the old lady.

Seeing Dongyu coming, she was not surprised, and smiled and greeted Dongyi.

Dong Ying returned her salute and hurriedly saluted the old lady.

The old lady had a ruddy complexion and a kind face, and she couldn't help but smile at the corners of her eyes when she saw Dong Yu coming.

Verse 227 admonishes, "Don't serve your mother-in-law?" After saluting, the old lady pulled Dongyu to sit down beside her and asked about the Sheng family.

Dongyu said: "My mother didn't come today." She was infected with the wind and cold, and it was inconvenient to go out, so my second brother and sister and I came to congratulate my aunt and uncle. ”

The old lady bowed slightly.

Shengjing in the winter moon is very cold, and if you are not careful, you will be infected with wind cold. For such a minor illness, the old lady did not ask much. She turned to ask Brother Cheng how he was.

Dong Yu answered them one by one.

The second sister, Xue Dongyu, also smiled and sat aside and listened quietly.

The old lady took a gap and said to Xue Dongyu: "Your mother is also busy entertaining guests over there, you can go and serve your mother." Grandmother here, your ninth sister is with you. ”

Xue Dong said yes, got up and saluted and retired.

As soon as she left, the old lady asked Dongyu: "Recently, the queen mother has announced that you have entered the palace?" ”

Dong Ying was slightly surprised, she didn't expect the old lady to ask like this. She didn't hide it. told the old lady what the queen mother said a few days ago that she had entered the palace.

"I heard my father-in-law tell Tianhe that the candidate for the crown princess will probably not be the granddaughter of the eldest princess Wenjing." Dongyu Road. "The queen mother still wants the eldest brother's daughter Sister Rui to enter the palace. Your own niece should always be more intimate. ”

The old lady listened. I was not surprised at all by the advice of verse 227, and smiled indifferently: "Niangniang's mind is nothing more than the fear that the power of the harem will fall." She also has good intentions. ”

It can be seen that the movements of the queen mother are known to the old marquis and the old lady.

After a pause, the old lady said again: "Your second sister said that the queen mother also announced her a few times, and wanted to find an errand for your second brother-in-law." Your second sister said that your second brother-in-law was an idle person. It is difficult to be a big responsibility, and it pushes the kindness of the queen's mother. But the queen repeatedly announced that she went in and spoke......"

The second sister and the queen are sisters, and the queen wants to add an official to the knighthood for the second brother-in-law, which is understandable. ()

It's just that at this moment before, he acted so rashly. Will it cause criticism?

"What does the queen mean...... Dong Ying asked the old lady softly, "Does she still want Sister Rui to be elected as the crown princess, and want the second sister to help persuade her grandfather?" ”

Old Marquis Xue did not agree with Xue Fengrui's candidacy for the crown princess, and Dong Yu had already heard about it from Sheng Xiuyi.

The old lady sighed softly: "The queen mother is afraid. In the past, the Queen Mother was not a good match, she was under the Queen Mother and the former Queen for many years, and she raised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with fear. Now it's easy to be a queen, but I can't always feel at ease. ”

This is to say that although the queen mother is a mother in the world, she always has no sense of security. I want to have everything in my hands.

Her thoughts conflict with Old Marquis Xue's calculations.

"Your second sister came to see her grandmother and said that she listened to her grandfather and grandmother and did not participate in the matter of the crown princess. Sister Yu, grandmother also wants to tell you that you and Tianhe have to stay out of the matter. The old lady said earnestly. The queen mother spent all day in the harem, and all she saw was the square inch of the inner palace. Our family is not suitable for mixing and choosing concubines. ”

Dongying had long known that the Xue family didn't want to get involved with the prince's choice of a concubine, and she and Sheng Xiuyi didn't want to get involved even more. They are not upstarts, and they will not think of opportunistic shortcuts, stand in the right direction in the matter of the crown prince's selection of concubines, and hope to make great progress in their careers in the future.

Only the upstarts would take such a risk.

The Xue family won't, and the Sheng family won't.

In Dongyu's cognition, the Sheng family is to avoid suspicion, and the Xue family is afraid that if it is too full, it will overflow.

But the old lady continued: "How can I and your grandfather not know the thoughts of the queen mother? Among the children and grandchildren of our family, there are not many people who have really learned. In the future, the queen will be old, and the grace of the Xue family will slowly disappear. It is of course the best to be able to become a descendant of two generations, which can ensure the wealth and glory of the family and endure for a long time. ”

Dong Yu was stunned.

It turned out that the old lady felt that the Xue family didn't need to avoid the limelight?

So is there another reason why the Xue family is unwilling to get involved in this matter?

She listened quietly.

“…… But the Xue family did not have such a position. There are some things, if the Xue family interferes, they will be attacked in the future. The old lady sighed, "Sister Yu, if the queen mother announces you into the palace again, you will tell her that it is grandmother's words: the old marquis and the mother have the same heart." The Xue family will just be better for the sake of the mother......"

Dong Ying didn't quite understand the reason, and he didn't understand what the old lady's position was.

She always thought that the Xue family wanted to avoid being jealous of flowers and brocades.

But what the old lady meant, this is not the main reason.

The Xue family has no choice.

This is about what Sheng Xiuyi said, "Your Majesty, in addition to the crown prince, there is also a person who can't rest assured." Another person Your Majesty can't let go of should be the restraint of the Xue family.

Although she didn't understand, Dong Ying still bowed her head slightly, and assured the old lady: "Tianhe has always been stable, and we are not greedy for high-ranking officials, so naturally we will not go to the camp at this moment." Grandmother rest assured. ”

The smile in the old lady's eyes deepened, and she bowed slightly.

The two ancestors and grandsons talked for a long time in the inner room, and the topic was bypassed from the prince's selection of concubines to the affairs of the Xue family's various rooms.

Dongyu avoided the fifth room, and didn't ask how the fifth lady and the twelfth sister Xue Donglin were, but only asked about the other rooms.

"Your third sister-in-law has a body again." The old lady mentioned Mrs. Cai, and her tone was very intimate, "Today's wedding banquet for your eldest aunt, I said earlier that she would help." Now that she has only been diagnosed for two months, I asked her to rest, and she had to make trouble, just like a child. ”

The tone was full of love.

Dong Ying felt that the old lady's preferences were very strange. Among the granddaughters in the family, she likes the gentleness and hard work of Dongying and the fourth sister Xue Dongting; As for the daughter-in-law, she likes the spicy and cheerful of the third lady and the third grandmother.

She smiled and said, "I don't know." In a few days, I will bring Lilly to see the third sister-in-law. ”

The old lady just smiled.

"Is the second aunt okay?" Dong Yu asked again.

The smile in the old lady's eyes narrowed slightly, and she shook her head and said, "It's getting worse and worse." Recently, I heard from your third sister-in-law that your second aunt often dreams of your second uncle at night. Sister Rong'er's matter made her suffer a lot, and she was weak herself, because Sister Rong'er's matter was empty, and she couldn't come back......"

Dongyu's heart also sank.

She still remembers the words of the fifth sister on the eve of the wedding.

The fifth sister, who has lived for two lifetimes, is the life she wants now? If the second aunt goes away because of her, will it become an eternal burden in her heart?

People like the old lady feel that the second lady's health is so bad now that she was worried about the fifth sister at the beginning.

The second lady's badness was caused by the fifth sister.

“…… Last time, the queen came down, invited a few of us, and asked about the fifth sister. Dongyu said to the old lady, "She said, find a suitable time to let the fifth sister and the fifth brother-in-law return to Beijing......

The old lady was slightly stunned, and then asked Dong Yu carefully why the queen mother said this at that time.

Dongyu told the old lady the reason why the queen deliberately led the prince to choose a concubine. The queen mother just started with the matter of the fifth sister, leading to her wanting to interfere in the prince's choice of concubine.

The hope that floated in the old lady's heart suddenly dissipated, and she sighed helplessly.

Then he told Dongyu about his fifth brother-in-law, Xiao Xuanqin: "...... The kid was very stubborn, and he didn't want anything from home. The two lived in two thatched houses. In the past, the Xiao family was also clothed and fed, and it was difficult for him to endure hardships like this. Your grandfather used to say that when he looked away, the boy was a malleable talent. ”

It is said that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. Xiao Xuanqin used to be a gentleman, enjoying the wealth of the world, but suddenly falling into poverty would be unbearable for ordinary people. Everyone will think that he can't bear it.

When he withstood such a gap and was able to stand on his own feet, he won the favor and admiration of everyone.

Dong Ying smiled and comforted the old lady: "How can the fifth sister's vision be bad?" Grandmother, the fifth sister is still young, who can predict what will happen in the future? Will always come back...... The fifth brother-in-law has a backbone and will not let the fifth sister suffer. ”

Whether or not they will come back, and when they will be back, no one can predict.

But relatives always comfort each other and give each other hope.

The old lady smiled and said yes, she will always come back.

After talking for a long time, it was not until the eldest lady and the eldest grandmother came to invite the old lady to sit at the table that Dong Yu followed the old lady to the Yanxi Marquis Mansion.

At the banquet, Dongyu saw a lot of distant relatives and friends, and female relatives who were close to each other. Everyone greeted each other, and it was very lively.

After the meal, the eldest lady invited everyone to go forward to listen to the play.

The old lady said that her body was not good, so she went back to Rongde Pavilion first.

Dong Yu stayed on the table.

After the banquet, everyone gathered in the Spring Festival Building. Dongyu was arranged in the west and met the second sister Xue Dongyu and the fourth sister Xue Dongting.

The second sister is with all the daughters of the Shan Guo Mansion, and the fourth sister is by the side of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Yao of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Dong Ying and the second grandmother Ge Shi came in, and everyone saluted.

Second, ***'s eyes fell on the ladies of the Shan Guo Mansion.

She is looking for Shan Jiayu, the seventh lady of the single family, the fiancée of the third master of the Sheng family.

After watching it for a long time, she still couldn't tell who it was.

After sitting down, the second grandmother exchanged words with Dong Yuan: "Sister-in-law, which one is the seventh lady of the single family?" ”

Dong Yu smiled and looked over as well. In the crowd, Shan Jiayu, who was wearing a lotus lotus lilac collar silk jacket, did not apply fat powder, and her white face was a little shy, and she followed Shan Guo's Duchess Xue Dongyu, looking docile and well-behaved.

Dong Yu quietly pointed it out to the second grandmother. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )RQ！！！
