The tea cup in Sheng Changhou's hand slammed heavily on the kang table, the tea spilled out, and Mrs. Sheng's royal blue eight-treasure rabbit skirt wet a corner.

"Bastard thing!" Sheng Changhou angrily reprimanded: "When your son and mother are gone, you can decide your own marriage!" Don't get out yet! ”

Sheng Xiumu was taken aback by Sheng Changhou, looked at Mrs. Sheng uneasily, and wanted to ask Mrs. Sheng for help.

His mother, who had always loved him, lowered her eyes and did not look at him.

His father's anger made him dare not stay longer, so he got up to salute Marquis Sheng Chang and Mrs. Sheng, and reluctantly withdrew.

Sheng Changhou was so angry that he scolded: "What kind of system? Since ancient times, marriage events have been the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and they actually said who they wanted to marry, which family's rules are this? ”

Sheng Changhou takes the rules very seriously.

Mrs. Sheng comforted him with a smiling face: "Brother Mu is not sensible, Master Hou just scolds him." Don't be angry. ”

Then he called out to the citron and asked him to make another cup of tea for the Marquis of Shengchang.

Sheng Changhou was angry for a while, looked at the self-striking bell, and it was just the beginning.

He stood up, and Mrs. Sheng said, "I have some folds to see, and then I'll go over." You should rest first. "Today is the day to rest in Aunt Lin's house.

Mrs. Sheng said yes.

Sheng Changhou went to the small study of Yuanyang Pavilion first.

He watched the excerpt until Haizheng, and then went to Aunt Lin's yard.

After Sheng Changhou left, Mrs. Sheng asked her to close the courtyard door and rest herself, so that Kang's mother could sleep on the foot of the Luodian bed.

"The older the child gets, the more I can't read." After lying down, Mrs. Sheng said to Kang's mother, "In the first month of last year, when the saint gave Brother Mu a marriage, he didn't mention Sister Yi at all. Now that Sister Yi is about to say goodbye, he said this. You say, what is in his heart? ”

Kang's mother was shocked.

She understood what Mrs. Sheng wanted to say, but she couldn't say it from her mouth, so she smiled and said, "At that time, it was a holy decree to marry. Brother Mu has always been sensible, how could he mention those words of children's affection? Now the Xiao family is defeated. Family affairs are also imminent, so it is natural to mention them. ”

Mrs. Sheng shook her head: "That's not the case! At that time, the marriage was decreed, and he was not unhappy. However, Sister Yi ...... "Mrs. Sheng carefully recalled the events after Sheng Xiu Mu gave her marriage in the first month of last year...... Did she get sick once? ”

Kang's mother thought about it. Said: "I contracted a cold in the first month and was sick for a few days. ”

Mrs. Sheng thought quietly for a long time before she said, "I also lost a lot of weight, and I slowly got better later." She was always silent, and I didn't think much of it. ”

Kang's mother hurriedly said, "Madam, you are thinking too much. Who is sick and should not be cleared? ”

"I hope so." Madame Sheng let out a long sigh and said no more.

Her heart sank. If Brother Mu and Sister Yi had been fine, they would have gotten along a long time ago. When the marriage was first given, what did Brother Mu think?

Does he think that Sister Yi is a folk girl, and it will be enough to give her a noble concubine in the future?

Mrs. Sheng thought about it, and her heart was a little cold. Children have grown up and are no longer innocent and innocent at an age, good and bad in this world. They have all learned and have their own opinions. Compared with Sheng Xiuyi, who grew up in Huizhou, when Brother Mu was born. His father made him a marquis.

He has been a child of the Hou family since he was a child, and his friends are also the heirs of the Wang family.

His heart may be different from Mrs. Sheng, who was born in a Huizhou squire.

Now Qin Yi was about to say kiss, and he was about to say it to Houmen, but he suddenly said such a sentence.

Because of this incident, Mrs. Sheng didn't sleep well all night.

The next day, Sheng Changhou had breakfast in Aunt Lin's house, and went to the court, and Sheng Xiumu was also on duty.

Dong Yu and Sheng Xiuyi were still the first to come to say goodbye.

Mrs. Sheng's face was not very good, and she said to Dong Jin, "Ah Jin." If you still have something to do in your yard, go back first. Brother Yi talked to his mother. ”

Dongyu has been married for so long, and Mrs. Sheng has never hidden anything from her, but this time she asked her to avoid it.

She was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said yes, and retreated first.

After Dong Yu left. Mrs. Sheng asked Mother Kang to go out with Citron and Xiangzhi, and said, "If the second grandmother and Miss Cousin come, they will say that I am not feeling well and have not gotten up yet." ”

Kang's mother said yes.

Sheng Xiuyi looked at Mrs. Sheng's expression and asked worriedly, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

Mrs. Sheng got up and let the inner chamber go.

Sheng Xiuyi hurriedly followed in.

The mother and son sat on the big kang near the window in the inner room, and Mrs. Sheng looked stunned and asked Sheng Xiuyi: "When will Brother Mu and Sister Yi get better?" ”

Sheng Xiuyi didn't expect Mrs. Sheng to ask this, and said with a smile: "Mother, what are you asking?" ”

Mrs. Sheng's face fell slightly: "Don't fool your mother!" Don't you really know? ”

Sheng Xiuyi saw that Mrs. Sheng was really annoyed, so she smiled and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

Mrs. Sheng didn't answer, but only asked when Sheng Xiumu and Qin Yi got along.

"In July of the year before last, my mother took her second brother and sister, Sister Yi and the children to Yonglian Temple to offer incense, and I and Brother Mu accompanied me." Sheng Xiuyi had no choice but to say, "In the evening, the two of them are together...... Speak in one place. I happened to bump into me. I asked Brother Mu, and he told me. He and Sister Yi happened to be in school for a short time. ”

Mrs. Sheng closed her eyes slightly and sighed a little tiredly.

There was a few sadness on her face.

Sheng Xiuyi understood, called out to his mother softly, and said, "Mother, are you okay?" ”

Mrs. Sheng sighed heavily and asked Sheng Xiuyi: "Brother Mu was given marriage last year, did he think about how to arrange Sister Yi'er?" Did he tell you no? ”

"I told Brother Mu at the time that although Sister Yi is an aunt and cousin, she has no identity, and her father will not agree in the future." Mrs. Sheng said cautiously, "Brother Mu said that he knows it in his heart, and Sister Yi also knows it in his heart!" ”

"What?" Mrs. Sheng suddenly opened her eyes, "You say, Sister Yi also knows it in her heart?" She knows that she can't be a wife to Brother Mu in the future, but she is still good with Brother Mu? ”

"Mother's ......" Sheng Xiuyi took her mother's hand, not knowing what to say.

The latter words are not something that he, as an elder brother, can say.

People are willing to do it, but it's really hard for him to say anything and destroy other people's good things.

Brother Mu probably never thought of marrying Sister Yi seriously, and Sheng Xiuyi knew about it. Brother Mu knows her father's temper very well, Sister Yi and the Sheng family are not in the right household, and it is impossible for Dad to be willing.

What kind of daughter-in-law the Sheng family marries is related to the reputation of the Shengchang Marquis Mansion.

But what Sister Yi thinks, Sheng Xiuyi doesn't know very well.

Brother Mu was given marriage, she was also very sad, seeing that she was haggard, so that Brother Mu was also soulless during that time, and she was distracted in front of her father several times, and Sheng Xiuyi helped cover it up.

Has this matter been leaked?

"Go back!" Mrs. Sheng waved her hand weakly.

Sheng Xiuyi wanted to say something, and Mrs. Sheng said again: "Go back." Then he paused and said, "Brother Mu and Sister Yi'er, don't talk to Ah Ying about it first." After all, it's not decent enough to talk about our own affairs. ”

Sheng Xiu Yi Tao is.

Seeing that Mrs. Sheng didn't want to talk more, she had to go out.

Mrs. Sheng leaned on the big kang by the window in the inner room alone, and thought for a long time before calling Mother Kang in: "You go and call Miss Biao." ”

Kang's mother said yes.

Qin Yi was stopped when he went to greet Mrs. Sheng in the morning, and now suddenly Mother Kang came to call in person, he was confused, and followed Mother Kang into Yuanyang Pavilion.

Mrs. Sheng sat on the big kang by the window in the east room, and when she saw her come in, she smiled at her kindly, her expression was very gentle, and she didn't see anything unusual.

Qin Yi's heart was only a little fixed.

"Sister Yi, you've been in our house for almost ten years." Mrs. Sheng beckoned, let Qin Yi sit beside her, took her hand and sighed, "How is Aunt treating you?" ”

Qin Yi sighed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Aunt treats me like her own daughter!" ”

Mrs. Sheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "Aunt does treat you like her own daughter, do you treat your aunt as your own mother?" ”

Qin Yi hurriedly said: "I have always regarded my aunt as my mother!" ”

Mrs. Sheng's smile was even more satisfying.

She paused before she said, "Sister Yi'er, since you treat your aunt as your mother, and your aunt also treats you as a daughter, your aunt will not beat around the bush." Since ancient times, marriage has been determined by parents, Sister Yi is almost sixteen, and my aunt wants to set a family affair for you. ”

Qin Yi's heart was beating hard, and his face turned red.

She muttered, "It's all up to my aunt." ”

His expression was uneasy.

Mrs. Sheng saw it in her eyes and said with a smile: "Qin Weihou Mansion is the Concubine's Mansion of Princess Hexu, does Sister Yi know?" Qin Weihou's second son, named Wei Qingfeng, is only sixteen years old this year, and he is a talent. Now that Princess Hexu is entrusting her fifth aunt and grandmother to be a matchmaker, are you willing? ”

Princess Cozy, Qin Yi has seen it once. Last year, in the mansion of the eldest princess of Wenjing, the eldest princess who scolded her eldest cousin when she entered the door.

Qin Yi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

She bowed her head and was silent.

Mrs. Sheng saw it in her eyes, her heart was cold, but she still smiled: "If you don't speak, your aunt will be willing." Auntie, this is the matter of the Cozy Princess's Mansion? ”

In the end, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Qin Yi was shy, and said, "I listen to my aunt's ......"

"Good boy!" Mrs. Sheng said as if sighing.

After sitting for a while, let her go back.

Mrs. Sheng let out a long sigh, snuggled up to the big pillow, and didn't speak for a long time.

Kang's mother looked at her worriedly and gently beat her legs.

"Although I treat her as a daughter, I can't give her a more honorable status." Mrs. Sheng said to Kang's mother: "She is only afraid in her heart, always worried about her future future. Now that she said that she was married to the Hou Mansion, and she was willing to ask for marriage, she was relieved. ”

Kang's mother didn't dare to say a word, and listened quietly.

"That's it!" Mrs. Sheng was disappointed and said, "The future is important, the future is more important than anything else, I was worried that she would be wronged, but I was worried in vain......"

Then he said to Kang's mother, "You ask the maid to call the second daughter-in-law." ”

Kang's mother called Citron and asked her to invite the second grandmother.

The second grandmother was also surprised, what was going on today.

She came in and saluted, and Madame Sheng told her about agreeing to the Marquis of Qinwei's mansion.

"Then I'll go back to my fifth aunt!" The second grandmother Ge Shi looked very happy, "The fifth aunt and grandmother said, Princess Hexu is waiting for the echo of this matter!" ”

Mrs. Sheng bowed slightly.

The second grandmother, Ge Shi, went in a hurry.
