Section 063 Dowry (1)
Rose didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to be the goddaughter of Aunt Zheng in the big house, and the next day Rong's mother called her, and Mrs. Shizi asked her if she was willing, so she politely delayed it for two days before replying.
Since then, Dongyu has not been in a good mood.
Rose Min 1 felt that what Mrs. Shizi gave her was not a good thing. She doesn't have Miss Nine to know everything in the house, she doesn't know many things, but Miss knows. Looking at Miss's depressed mood, Rose understood that Dong Ying was not very happy about this matter. Although she didn't know why, Rose had already made up her mind: she couldn't promise Madame Shiko.
In another month, she will marry into the Sheng family, compared to Mrs. Shizi, Miss Nine is her permanent master, and she can't offend Miss Nine for Mrs. Shizi.
Miss Nine didn't tell her, maybe this matter was very obscure and unspeakable.
Rose thought silently, and after a few days, Mrs. Shizi called her again, and she knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Shizi: "Madam, Rose is just a slave in the house, and her life is shallow and blessed, and she can't afford such a favor." Rose just wants to serve Miss Nine with all her heart, and can't be Aunt Zheng's daughter, so she begs Mrs. to take back her life! ”
Mrs. Shizi was slightly stunned, and only then did she laugh: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”
Rong's mother and Huā Ren helped Rose up.
Rose thought that Mrs. Shizi still wanted to persuade her, and she had thought of a rhetoric: she also had two younger sisters, and the fortune teller said that her fourth and fifth sisters were blesser than her, and her fourth sister was cute and clever, so she asked Mrs. Shizi to choose her sister as Aunt Zheng's daughter.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shizi smiled and said, "If you are reluctant, forget it."
Originally, Aunt Zheng looked at you well, and she looked like a third lady, and she wanted to keep you by her side to serve, but she was afraid that you would be wronged from Miss Nine's house to her house, so she wanted to recognize you as her goddaughter. You only recognize Miss Nine in your heart, this is your fate with Miss Nine, and you will serve Miss Nine more wholeheartedly in the future
Sister! Xide Rose kowtowed to Mrs. Shizi three times in a row, but she thought in her heart: What Aunt Zheng thinks she looks like the third lady is just an excuse. She is the old lady who appreciates Miss Jiu, and even Mrs. Shizi has no right to be her master, where does Aunt Zheng dare to take a fancy to her and ask her to go?
Back at the Shicui Pavilion, Rose told Dongyu about her rejection of the Princess.
As soon as Dong Ying heard this, she knew that the old lady had changed her candidate and left Rose by her side as a housekeeper. Dong Ying couldn't help but smile at the corner of her eyes: "Rose, you stupid girl, you have become Aunt Zheng's daughter, and you are the young lady of Xue Mansion, you are sincere in pushing it, how do you know how to do it?" ”
The words are happy, but they are not mean.
Rose could hear it, so she grinned: "I am blessed, and I don't have the life to be a young lady." Besides, I'm a stupid one, and in the old lady's house, I only know the old lady: in the lady's house, I only know the lady, and no matter how good the things are, the rose doesn't slander her. ”
said that Dongyu's heart was warm.
There are still more than 20 days to leave the cabinet, and Dong Yu wants to know who Xue Fu will choose to be her concubine Teng.
It's not a rose, there's always someone else.
The joy was replaced by this helpless emotion, and the nasal eyelids were a little stuffy.
On the second day after Rose resigned from Mrs. Shizi, Dong Ying heard that the old lady recognized the treasure scarf in the house as her granddaughter, just like the young lady in the family.
Bao scarf is the old lady's favorite maidservant, she is an orphan girl, when she was a child, her father and mother were on an errand in Xuefu, and her father's body was not good, and her father died when she was three years old. Her mother is a timid and fearful person, and she is cautious in doing things in the house, raising the scarf alone. In the winter of the year when Bao Scarf was seven years old, her mother also died.
Since then, she has been in the old lady's house, from a rough maid to a first-class maid.
Dongyu knew that the old lady liked the scarf the most.
Compared with the other first-class maids in the old lady's house, the treasure scarf is calm, silent, dedicated, her mouth is very tight, and she looks a little wooden, she doesn't accept anyone who pleases her, and there is really only the old lady in her eyes.
Although she didn't know how to act and offended some people, the old lady lifted her, but no one dared to oppress her.
The treasure scarf is about the person Dong Yu Teng married.
Hearing the news, Dongyu's eyes darkened slightly. Although I know that the old lady is for her good, I know that Bao Jian's marriage is for her to give birth to the heirs of the Sheng family and to fix her favor in the Sheng family. But her heart was just uncomfortable.
Even if she didn't make her own decisions, the concubine room was brought over by herself, and she herself pushed herself into the situation of polyandry and concubines.
After saying a few words in front of the old lady, she easily replaced Rose, she should be very content.
But my heart involuntarily tugged up.
Rose could see that Dongyu was unhappy when she heard that Bao Thou had become the granddaughter of the old lady. She didn't understand why Dongjin was unhappy, but she vaguely guessed that Baojin was a granddaughter and she was a goddaughter, both for the same thing, something that made Miss Nine unhappy.
What the hell is going on?
Rose was faintly uneasy.
In March and April, the spring is bright and bright, the fragrance of Xuefu hits people, and all kinds of fresh huā bloom and compete for beauty, adding noise to the spring. On the first day of the fourth lunar month, Mrs. Shengchanghou brought her second daughter-in-law, Ge Shi, to greet Mrs. Xue.
Dong Ying is a body to be married, and he should not have seen guests in the first place. The visitor is her future in-law's family, and she should avoid suspicion that the girls in the Dong family have all gone to sit, only Dong Yu is still doing needlework in the Shicui Pavilion.
Mrs. Sheng had lunch at Xue's Mansion, and then talked to the old lady until Shen Zheng went back for a moment.
Dong Ying asked Rose to inquire about what Lady Sheng was doing.
"Give a birthday gift to Master Hou." Rose came back and said to Dongyu, "The Sheng family and our family didn't have much contact with each other, and the Sheng family didn't know that March 19 was Hou Ye's birthday, and they didn't know until they met in Yonglian Temple that day. When Mrs. Sheng came back, she prepared a gift, and she was only ready today and sent it in person. And for good reason.
Dong Yu didn't think much about it.
Rose then said: "Mrs. Shizi invited the second grandmother of the Sheng family to go to Houhuā Garden for a walk, and left Mrs. Sheng and Miss Wan'er alone to talk to the old lady, and after talking for more than an hour, Miss Wan'er's eyes were red when she came out, as if she had cried. The old lady and Mrs. Sheng's faces were as usual, but they couldn't see anything ........."
When Dong Yu heard this, the needle in his hand paused slightly.
Mrs. Sheng's visit, does it still involve Xue Jiangwan?
Dong Ying has no good impression of this distant relative. In the first month, she knew that Dong Ying was given marriage and married Sheng Xiuyi as her steproom, and the eleventh sister was named a concubine, she actually provoked the feelings of Dong Ying and the eleventh sister, and wanted Dong Ying to fight for the opportunity to enter the palace.
Xue Jiangwan probably felt that Dongyu was so beautiful that she would definitely want to enter the palace to have a future: she probably also inquired about Dongying walking in front of the old lady to get rid of the persecution of the Yang family. Then, Xue Jiangwan must have thought that Dong Ying was stammering the old lady for the opportunity to enter the palace!
That's why she dared to sow discord at the first time.
If she succeeds, Dongyu will regard her as a confidant and take care of her everywhere in the future. With the care of a lady, her future will be brilliant. That alone was worth her desperate bet.
A woman who is brave and scheming, but her heart is too bad, and she tries to step on others for profit, which is hateful and despicable.
If Dongyu didn't have the knowledge of the palace in later generations, he would probably be very excited, right? If he is provoked by Xue Jiang later, he may really fight for it.
The relationship between Xue Dongshu and Sister Dongyu was a bloody battle. The defeated man is doomed to misery. In case of misfortune and both losers, the Xue family may lose two granddaughters at once.
Since then, Dong Ying didn't like Xue Jiangwan in her heart, although she was alone in the Xue family, she was very pitiful.
That time, after being beaten by the old lady, Xue Jiang had a lot of good nights, and he never made any more appearances, and spent these days peacefully in Xue Mansion.
In Yiyi's opinion, Xue Jiangwan was not discouraged, but was waiting for the opportunity in Taoguang.
People like her, who don't achieve their goal, won't give up. Because once she gives up, there is no hope for her future.
Her purpose is to find a good marriage.
This is the only purpose of her stay in Xue Mansion, right?
Could it be that she caught up with the Sheng family?
This incident left a shallow mark in Dong Ming's heart, and as Old Madam Xue had a normal attitude towards Xue Jiangwan, Dong Ying gradually didn't take it to heart.
On April 15, there were five days left before she left the cabinet. After dinner that day, the old lady specially left her to speak.
Old Marquis Xue also sat on the kang table, looking at Dongyu with a smile.
Zhan's mother took a delicate gift list to the old lady, the old lady looked at it, handed it to Dong Ying, and said with a smile: "Sister Jin, this is the makeup that grandmother prepared for you, and it will be carried to the Sheng family in a few days, you take a look first, what else do you want, and grandmother will buy it for you." ”
Dongyu's face was slightly red, a little embarrassed.
Facing the old lady's loving gaze, Dong Ying came over to take a look.
After watching for a long time, she raised her eyes to look at the old lady, her eyes were full of surprise, and there was water in her long oblique eyes: "Grandmother, this is too much, there are still several younger sisters in the family who have not yet left the cabinet"
Not to mention jewelry, silk and silk, cage furniture, only gold and silver, field shops, houses and houses, it is too luxurious.
The old lady gave her 6,000 acres of fertile land, 5,000 taels of silver, five shops on the most prosperous East Street in the capital, an eight-room companion house, and 16 wedding maids.
"Sister Yu, there are some things that are not in the public school, but your grandmother's dowry." The old marquis smiled and said, "Your grandmother's dowry, whether it is for you or for others in the family, is according to your grandmother's wishes." You are the lord of the county, and you have a dowry of eighty-eight years, which is not extravagant. ”
Dongyu knew that this was discussed between her grandfather and grandmother and her aunt and uncle, so she excused herself, which seemed very hypocritical.
Besides, if she marries into her in-law's family, the more she marries, the more confidence she has, how can she not know her grandmother's good intentions?
Dongyu got up and kowtowed to the old lady.
The old lady hurriedly pulled her up, smiled and hugged her in her arms: "Grandmother can't be brought to the coffin." If you don't give it to you, it's also a waste for them! ”
Then he smiled and said to Dong Yuan, "Sister Jin'er, there is one more thing, your concubine Teng, grandmother has set a late child, and she will go to Sheng's house on April 19 with your dowry." "Ask for a pink ticket
