Section 163 Speculation
Mrs. Han is the sister-in-law of Dongyuan's biological mother, if the Xue family is still willing to go around with Mrs. Han, it should also be the old lady who ordered Mrs. Shizi or Dongyuan's sister-in-law to come over to greet Mrs. Shizi, why are the third masters and third grandmothers in the second room here?
Mrs. Han was slightly confused when she saw Dongyu, and estimated that she didn't know, so she explained to her with a smile: "Your third sister-in-law is the niece of your second aunt, and her mother and your second aunt are sisters. Your third sister-in-law came to sit down and asked your second aunt how it was, and by the way, the old lady asked your two cousins to send some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones. ”
Dong Ying understood and smiled.
Within two years of her arrival at the Xue family, the third master went to Sichuan. For this third cousin and sister-in-law, because it is not a one-room one, Dongyu is not very familiar with it.
It was really for the Xue family to send congratulations.
As he spoke, he entered the gate of the Han Mansion.
Downstairs is a row of rooms.
Not far from the room, there is a two-person high pink oil wall in the wide field.
It's just that the years have passed, and they are covered with vines. Now, although the vines are removed, they still see mottled shadows.
Mrs. Han and Han Naihong, Han Naihua brothers took Dong Ying and Sheng Xiuyi, and Rose followed the two maids behind her, bypassing the wall shadow, and it was a tall half-moon-shaped gatehouse, with eight low houses under the gatehouse, which was the gatehouse of the Han family.
"This yard is really magnificent!" Dong Yu held Mrs. Han and sighed.
Mrs. Han's eyes darkened, and she sighed: "This is half of the old mansion in the past, and the other half is separated from the corner gate on the west side, and it was sold when she left Beijing!" At that time, the neighborhoods here were all princes and nobles, but now they are very desolate! ”
Sheng Xiuyi explained with a smile: "After Han Lao Shangshu returned to seclusion, Zhengrongbo and Wan Guogong also died of illness within two years. The family business gradually failed, and some strange things happened, so the people who used to live in moved away, and it was quiet. ”
Mrs. Han Da suddenly bowed her head slightly.
As he spoke, he entered the second instrument gate of the Han Mansion. There was no little servant waiting with a carriage, but Mrs. Han asked them to bypass the corner gate on the east side and go directly into the inner courtyard.
She was a little embarrassed and explained to Dongyu: "This time I went to Beijing to accompany your two cousins to take the exam. There is not much pomp and circumstance. So the maid at home only bought a few, and wronged you to go away......"
"This garden is beautiful, what is it worth walking?" Dong Yu said with a smile, and asked Mrs. Han again, "After my cousin won the Jinshi, will he fall in Shengjing in the future?" ”
Mrs. Han smiled: "It also depends on where you choose." If the following counties are chosen, it is natural to take office with the whole family. I won't stay here either. If I choose to be in the Ministry of Officials and Households, I will not return to Anqing Mansion for the time being, and I will live with me for a while. If you don't win, you'll have to wait another three years. ”
The tone is very tactful, and I can hear that I want to settle in Shengjing.
"This subject will definitely be in high school!" Dongyu Road.
Mrs. Han laughed.
As he spoke, he walked about a stick of incense before entering the inner courtyard.
From a distance, Dong Ying looked at a long man wearing a azure cocoon silk jacket. Beside her, a slender woman wearing a moon-white gown and a palace-green skirt, the two looked forward to it.
It is Xue Huaxuan, the third master of the Xue family, and Cai, the third grandmother.
Seeing them coming, the third master and the third grandmother stepped forward to greet them a few steps.
Dong Yu saluted them. called the third brother and three sisters-in-law.
Sheng Xiuyi also saluted.
Xue Huaxuan and the third grandmother returned the gift, and the third grandmother smiled and said to Mrs. Han: "The ninth sister and the ninth brother-in-law are really a pair of golden boys and girls. ”
Mrs. Han laughed.
Dong Ying hung his head slightly.
Entering the main house of Mrs. Han's courtyard, the two little maids served tea to everyone.
Mrs. Han ordered them to sit down, let the two cousins accompany them, and personally went down to order the meal.
Sheng Xiuyi asked the two cousins of the Han family how they were doing with their homework.
Both said it was okay and very modest.
He asked Xue Huaxuan again how everyone in the Xue family was, and how the old marquis and the old lady were doing, and Xue Huaxuan also told with a smile.
"When will the third brother return to Shengjing?" Dongyu smiled and asked, "I thought you were still in Sichuan." ”
"I've been back for more than half a month." Xue Huaxuan said: "There is still one year left in the term. My mother was not in good health, so I resigned early and returned to Shengjing. ”
It may be that Xue Dongrong's matter hit too hard, and the second lady's originally weak body collapsed.
Sheng Xiuyi asked, "What are your plans now?" ”
Xue Huaxuan laughed at himself: "I have been in Sichuan all these years, and when I returned to Shengjing, my eyes were black, and I didn't know what I could do. Waiting for my grandfather to arrange it for me. ”
"Four|Chuan is the place where the prime minister returns. The third brother has been in Sichuan for many years, and he will be the top pillar of the country one day. Sheng Xiuyi laughed.
Xue Huaxuan was stunned.
Fourth, Sichuan is the place where the prime minister returns, which is the saying of the Tang and Song dynasties.
At that time, the capital of the country was in the northwest, and Sichuan was the back garden of the capital, providing food and defense for the Jingshi, and the status of Sichuan was very important. At that time, if someone was sent to Sichuan to be an official, everyone would guess that after his term of office expired, he would be a candidate for prime minister.
That's why there is a saying that "Four|Chuan is the place where the prime minister returns".
By the time of the previous and current dynasties, Kyoto had long since moved away from the northwest, so this statement slowly disappeared.
If you don't know the history books well, you probably don't know about it.
Hearing Sheng Xiuyi's words, not only Xue Huaxuan was a little surprised, but also the two young masters of the Han family, who were full of poetry and books, were also surprised.
Sheng Xiuyi is good at everything.
Although it was a word of comfort and encouragement, Xue Huaxuan was very happy, and the words with Sheng Xiuyi gradually increased.
The two young masters of the Han family looked at him a little more seriously, and talked to him about the exam questions of previous years.
Although Sheng Xiuyi had never participated in the Spring Festival, he had a clear understanding of the exam questions in previous years, and several people talked eloquently, and they did not rest until the beginning of the year.
Dongyu wanted to ask about the fifth sister Xue Dongrong several times, but thinking that it was in the Han family, she was afraid that Xue Huaxuan and the third grandmother would not be able to answer, so she couldn't help but ask.
She remembered Brother Cheng in her heart, and she was about to leave after eating.
Xue Huaxuan was also afraid of disturbing Han Naihua and Han Naihong's study, so he also got up to say goodbye.
Mrs. Han did not leave them in vain, and personally sent them out.
"Tianhe, let's get together again after the list is released!" Han Naihong, the eldest young master of the Han family, said to Sheng Xiuyi when he was leaving. Although he is a Confucian disciple, he likes Huang Lao's learning, and Sheng Xiuyi is proficient, he listened to Sheng Xiuyi's words, and he was still unsatisfied, and he made an appointment to meet again.
Even my brother-in-law stopped calling. Like a classmate, shouting Sheng Xiuyi's words.
Sheng Xiuyi hurriedly said yes.
Han Naihong almost forgot about Xue Huaxuan, and hurriedly added: "Brother Huaxuan will also come then." ”
Xue Huaxuan also likes Sheng Xiuyi and Han Naihong brothers, and he is also very speculative when he speaks today. I readily agreed.
When he went home, Sheng Xiuyi sat in the carriage and closed his eyes and fell asleep, silent.
Dong Ying was a little surprised, and asked him softly, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”
Sheng Xiuyi opened his eyes at this time, reached out and rubbed his cheeks, and said slowly: "I said too many words, my face hurts!" ”
Even the facial muscles hurt when he spoke......
Dong Ying was speechless. Burst out laughing: "Why bother? It's okay to say less! ”
Sheng Xiuyi continued to close his eyes and pretend to sleep, and really didn't say anything.
The more she thought about it, the funnier it became, and she secretly laughed for a long time.
People who don't talk much on weekdays suddenly talk too much, and their faces are indeed uncomfortable.
She returned to the Sheng Mansion and followed Sheng Xiuyi to Yuanyang Pavilion.
Brother Cheng fell asleep in Mrs. Sheng's warm pavilion.
When Mrs. Sheng saw the two of them coming back from outside, she didn't keep them longer, and let the nurse hold Brother Cheng. followed Dong Ying and Sheng Xiuyi back to the Jingshi Academy.
Dongyu went out, afraid that his clothes would be dirty, so he didn't dare to hug Brother Cheng. Let the nurse Qiao's mother hold it all the time. When he arrived at Zhenyuan, he said to Qiao's mother: "Take it to Jingshi Courtyard." I haven't seen Brother Cheng all day today! ”
Mother Joe said yes.
After returning to the courtyard, the two of them washed up and changed into clean clothes, and Brother Cheng woke up. Dong Yu hugged him and teased him once, and was picked up by Sheng Xiuyi.
******
In the Yuanyang Pavilion, after Dong Ying and Sheng Xiuyi left, Mother Kang smiled and said to Mrs. Sheng: "Grandma must have encountered something good today, I looked at her with a smile on her face." ”
Mrs. Sheng also felt that she couldn't help but smile: "The little couple went out of the door, naturally they were happy." ”
As he spoke. Sheng Changhou and the third master Sheng Xiumu returned to the inner courtyard.
The third master just came over to say goodbye to Mrs. Sheng.
Sheng Changhou went to the inner room to change clothes, and then went to the clean room.
Sheng Xiumu was ready to say a few words to Mrs. Sheng, and then went back to the outer courtyard to rest.
"Mother, what do you say to Mother Kang, so happy?" Sheng Xiumu asked Mrs. Sheng.
Mrs. Sheng told the third master about Dongyu and Sheng Xiuyi going out.
As he spoke, Marquis Sheng Chang came out of the inner room.
He said to Sheng Xiumu: "Go back and rest earlier." ”
Sheng Xiu Mu is about to say yes. Mrs. Sheng grabbed him and said to Marquis Sheng Chang with a smile: "Master Hou, I have something to tell you. Brother Mu listened together. ”
Sheng Xiumu sat back down.
The maid brought tea to Sheng Changhou, he took a sip and asked what was the matter.
"Fifth aunt and grandmother want to protect Sister Yi's matchmaker...... Mrs. Sheng looked at Sheng Changhou's face cautiously, and said with a smile, "Say it to Princess Hexu's second son, Qin Weihou's second young master Wei Qingfeng." Master Hou, what do you think of this family business? ”
Marquis Sheng Chang groaned slightly, and was about to say something, but his gaze suddenly crossed Mrs. Sheng and landed on Sheng Xiumu's face.
The light in his eyes involuntarily became stern.
Mrs. Sheng followed Sheng Changhou's gaze and saw the third master standing up in a daze.
Swept away by his father's stern gaze, he was startled and hurriedly sat back.
Sheng Changhou and Mrs. Sheng are both from the past, Sheng Xiumu reacted so much, how could the two of them not understand?
Mrs. Sheng was very surprised.
Sheng Changhou had a cold face and said to Sheng Xiumu: "Sister Yi'er wants to say kiss, what are you doing like this?" ”
Sheng Xiumu was anxious for a moment, but he didn't know how to speak, his lips moved and he looked at his father, and finally couldn't say a word.
Mrs. Sheng asked, "Brother Mu, are you getting along with Sister Yi?" ”
Sheng Changhou snorted coldly.
Sheng Xiumu hurriedly stood up and said firmly: "No! "If he gets along with Sister Yi, his father will definitely say that Sister Yi is unruly.
"I ......" Sheng Xiumu didn't know what to say for a long time, seeing that Sheng Changhou's face was getting worse and worse, he looked at Mrs. Sheng for help and said, "Mother, I want to marry Sister Yi!" ”
