Section 029 Chen Family
Dongyu led Mrs. Yuan and Miss Yuan to Rongde Pavilion, and the old lady was instructing Mother Zhan to open the cage and take some medicinal materials for the fifth girl, Xue Dongrong.
Just now, Xue Dongrong's eldest maid Ginkgo went back and forth to the old lady, and the fifth lady took the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, and there was nothing to do in the afternoon, it was about to be fine, please rest assured the old lady.
The old lady was very happy, so she asked Zhan's mother to take some qi-replenishing herbs and send them to Xue Dongrong.
Seeing that Dongyu had brought someone here, the old lady looked at it fixedly, and said with a smile: "It's Grandma Yuan San, right?" Then he glanced at the shy and delicate Yuan Puying, and smiled again, "This is Sister Ying?" Ouch, I've grown into a big girl. ”
They had been here for a long time, and the old lady remembered them. Since she was a frequent visitor in the past, she still had to wait for the people in the fifth room to receive it before she dared to come to the old lady, this Mrs. Yuan was a cautious person, and Dong Ying couldn't help but smile lightly.
Mrs. Yuan and Miss Yuan were busy saluting the old lady and saying goodbye.
"It's been five or six years since we went to the south, and I don't think our ancestors still remember us." Mrs. Yuan was very moved, "Your old body is still so strong!" ”
"It's okay to see, but it's useless!" The old lady laughed, asked Dongyu and Zhan's mother to help Mrs. Yuan and Miss Yuan, and invited their mother and daughter to sit next to each other on the kang. Holding Miss Yuan's hand, the old lady looked left and right, and smiled at Mrs. Yuan: "It's only been a few years, and it's been so neat, and it's a lot calmer than before." When I'm older, I know how to be shy. ”
Miss Yuan smoked and muttered to the old ancestor.
"I remember, as old as our sister, they are all in the year of Xinmao......" The old lady said Yuan Puying's age, and she was not sure, so she asked Mrs. Yuan.
Mrs. Yuan hurriedly said: "She was born in September of the Xin Mao year. ”
In the past, when Mrs. Yuan came to Xue's house, Dongying was not favored, and the most proud granddaughter of the old lady at that time was the fourth girl, Xue Dongting. Seeing the old lady asking, Mrs. Yuan didn't know how big Dongyu was, so she didn't dare to speak, so she had to say her daughter's birthday.
The old lady bowed her head and said with a smile: "Our sister Ying is from the first month, a few months older than Sister Ying. ”
After sitting down slightly, Mrs. Yuan just came over to talk about the old feelings, not to ask for something, seeing that it was getting late, and it was not good to stay overnight, she wanted to get up and go back, saying that she would come back to the old lady another day to say goodbye.
The old lady asked Dongyu to send it off, and said to Dongyu: "You send Grandma Yuan San to the hall, you don't need to come over to say hello, I'm tired all day today, so let's rest early." ”
Dong Yu said yes, and led Mrs. Yuan and Miss Yuan out of Rongde Pavilion.
As soon as Mrs. Yuan left, the old lady suddenly remembered something, and said to Mother Zhan beside her, "Mrs. Yuan hasn't been here for a long time, right?" You go back and mention it to Brother Yu's daughter-in-law, and let you take Mrs. Yuan's house to sit. ”
Mrs. Yuan is the wife of the Marquis of Jianzhao Mansion.
When the old lady saw Grandma Yuan San who was next to the Marquis of Jianzhao, it was not surprising that she remembered Mrs. Yuan. Mrs. Jianzhao and Mrs. Rong were close friends before they got married, and now they are even more intimate.
Mother Zhan smiled: "Come back to Mrs. Shizi, I'll help Titi." ”
In the evening, Mrs. Shizi came to greet her, and Zhan's mother reminded the old lady on the side and asked about Mrs. Yuan, Marquis of Jianzhao.
Mrs. Rong was slightly stunned, and smiled directly: "Does my mother have anything to tell her daughter-in-law?" ”
"It's not for you to invite Mrs. Yuan to come during the year, I know that you are busy with visitors during the New Year, but you have this in mind, and when you have time for the New Year, you will take Mrs. Yuan to sit at her house." The old lady said with a smile.
"Mother, the nephew she mentioned to you last time still hasn't said goodbye." Mrs. Shizi asked the old lady tentatively.
The old lady glanced at Mrs. Shizi and smiled without answering.
Mrs. Rong didn't dare to say anything deeper, and after gossiping, she got up and said goodbye.
The old lady also instructed her to go and see the fifth girl, Xue Dongrong, and by the way, bring the tonic she found out in the afternoon.
Mrs. Shizi said yes and turned to go out. On the way back, she couldn't help but wonder what the old lady meant, why did she suddenly remember to see Mrs. Yuan when she came back from the palace?
Last time, Mrs. Yuan Chen mentioned her maiden nephew to the old lady and wanted to marry Dongying for her nephew.
The old lady excused herself on the grounds that Dong Ying was young.
Later, the old lady hinted a few words to Mrs. Shizi, which probably meant that she disliked the status of Mrs. Yuan, the Marquis of Jianzhao, and her status as a nephew was not worthy of Dongyu.
Mrs. Yuan's maiden name is Chen, her ancestral home is in Xiancheng, Shaanxi, and she started by selling horses and was very wealthy. Later, Mrs. Yuan's father studied hard, the official worshiped the military department, and married his daughter to build the Zhaohou Mansion, and the Chen family really gained a foothold in Kyoto.
But the old lady still looks down on the Chen family's background, in addition to wealth, the Chen family's family history is too reckless, and the hairpin family disdains.
When Mrs. Yuan said that she was pro-Xue Dongyu for her maiden nephew, the old lady blamed Mrs. Yuan for being frivolous. Is it great to have money? Dong Ying is the granddaughter of the Marquis of the Three Dynasties, and it is too aggrieved to marry into the Chen family!
In addition to this incident, Mrs. Shizi couldn't think of any other reason why the old lady wanted to see Mrs. Yuan.
Could it be that the old lady changed her mind and agreed to marry Dong Ying to the Chen family?
Mrs. Shizi remembered the matter of entering the palace today.
The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and even Xue Guifei didn't like the Nine Girls Dongyu very much.
Mrs. Shizi sighed, if she judged people by her appearance, the Queen Mother probably felt that the nine girls were too demonic, such women were placed by the emperor's side, and the emperor was only afraid that the hibiscus tent would be warm for the Spring Festival, and she would not go to court early, delaying the government and becoming a sinner through the ages, right?
And the queen mother and Xue Guifei are worried that the Dongyu saint is too prosperous, and their status is in jeopardy?
Mrs. Shizi can see it, and the old lady can naturally see it.
Because there is no hope of entering the palace, I want to tell Mrs. Yuan's maiden family, the Chen family?
The Chen family settled in Kyoto with a shallow foundation, and they wanted to tie up with the big families in Kyoto on tiptoe, so when the Xue family's daughter married, the Chen family would naturally be very courteous and respectful to her.
Dongyu is too glamorous, marrying into someone else's family, will her mother-in-law and concubine be jealous of her and be mean to her from now on? If you marry into the Chen family, will Dongyu be respected?
Is that what the old lady intended?
After understanding Dongjin's temperament, Mrs. Shizi felt a little regretful in her heart, a smart and reasonable daughter-in-law like Dongyu is the gospel of her mother-in-law. But everyone's first impression is her appearance, but they don't think about her seriously, so they deny that she is a good wife and mother!
If Dong Ying is frivolous, how can the old lady like it?
The old lady was notoriously shrewd and capable when she was young!
The old lady likes her, her behavior will not be bad, this alone, Dong Ying is a daughter-in-law worth marrying!
Mrs. Shizi thought about it, and sighed silently again, what a pity, I thought I could send her into the palace and help the concubine! But the noble concubine Niangniang clearly didn't think like this, and she didn't want Dongyu to enter the palace. When the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother deliberately snubbed Dongyi, she did not promote Dongyuan, but deliberately turned a blind eye.
Dongyu married into the Chen family, because she was wronged; But her mother-in-law's status is not as good as that of the Marquis of Zhenxian, so she is impressed by her, which is also one of the benefits.
Mrs. Shizi thought about it, although she regretted it in her heart, she couldn't help but laugh: At this moment, the Chen family of Jianzhao Marquis is going to be happy.
