On the ninth day of June in the fifth year of Yuanchang, it is advisable to travel, sacrifice, dust, bathe, avoid marriage and burial. In the early morning, before the sky was bright, a big red lantern was hung in front of the gate of the Shengchang Marquis' Mansion, illuminating the door brightly. The servants stood in a circle, and a green carriage was quietly parked.

Sheng Xiuyi entered the court this morning, went to meet the saint, and then traveled from the palace to serve as the northwest patrol envoy.

Dong Yu and Mrs. Sheng and other female dependents, Sheng Xiuyi's two sons saw him off at the door of the house.

After Sheng Xiuyi saluted Mrs. Sheng, accompanied by Sheng Xiumu, the third master of the Sheng family, he got into the carriage.

Mrs. Sheng was teary-eyed, and Dongyu was not good at tears, so she had to wet her eyes.

Seeing that the car gradually moved away from the Shengchang Marquis's Mansion, and Chenxi turned into a tiny black shadow in the morning, Mrs. Sheng wiped her tears and returned to the inner courtyard with the support of Dongyu and the second grandmother Ge.

After Sheng Xiuyi left home, Dongyu didn't change much except for sleeping alone every night. Every day, I went to Mrs. Sheng's place in the morning and dusk, returned to the Jingshi Courtyard to meet a few aunts and children, and spent the rest of the time doing needlework and gossiping with the maids.

According to Mrs. Sheng, it took more than a month for Sheng Xiuyi to arrive at the Northwest Camp.

After Sheng Xiuyi left, Kyoto became hot day by day in June. Static shooting//The fastest text update, no pop-ups, no ads// The courtyard is left on the ice, except for the morning and evening, Dongyu does not go out of the room.

From the beginning of June to the end of June, the year passed in an instant. Dongyu's monthly letter from June still hasn't arrived, and she can already conclude that she is pregnant.

Rose knew, and Mother Luo also felt it, and asked Dongyu several times.

There is no diagnosis, Dongyu smiled and did not answer.

It's July in the blink of an eye. Shengjing in July is like a big furnace, the heat is unbearable, and the first day of the seventh month is even hotter than before.

Early in the morning, Dong Yu changed into a thin summer shirt, went to Yuanyang Pavilion from Jingshi Courtyard to ask for peace, and then followed Mrs. Sheng to the Zhenxian Marquis's Mansion.

Today is the day when Dongyi's fifth cousin Xue Dongrong leaves the pavilion, and the Xue family invites the daughters of the Sheng family to have a wedding wine.

In just a few steps, Dongyu's back was already drenched with sweat, and his pink cheeks were shiny. She kept pulling out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat. When I entered the inner room of Yuanyang Pavilion, I felt a little cool.

Mrs. Sheng was drinking porridge, and when she saw that Dongyu was sweating, she smiled and said, "It's too hot these days." ”

"Not really. There was not a single wind early in the morning. Dong Yu smiled and said, "Mother, can you hold up your body?" Otherwise, my second brother and sister will go, and you will stay at home. ”

Mrs. Sheng shook her head: "I won't go to the in-laws' house to do happy events, what are you talking about?" You've been out for more than three months, and I should go and say hello to the old lady. ”

Old Madam Xue is an elder in the eyes of Mrs. Sheng.

Dong Yu said no more. Help Mother Kang serve Mrs. Sheng together.

When Mrs. Sheng had breakfast, the second grandmother Ge Shi also came, she wore a pink thick gown, the powder gauze was light and thin, like a haze around the body, setting off the second grandmother's willow waist and peach cheeks with powder.

It's just that you can vaguely see the skin of her white jade-like arms.

Mrs. Sheng's face fell slightly, and she asked the second grandmother, "Where did this dress come from?" ”

The second grandmother saw that Mrs. Sheng's face was not good. The smile froze, and he said in a low voice: "The material that the second master brought in from outside the year before last is a seafood ......."

Mrs. Sheng's tone was slightly heavy. Said: "Go and change it." What kind of seafood do people like us wear? ”

This dress is beautiful, but it is too frivolous.

The second grandmother showed a little reluctance. She changed her clothes in the morning and looked in the mirror, and the maids and women in the room all said that they looked very good, and even the second master who was lying on the couch 'recuperating' bowed slightly.

Xue's Dongyu is a natural beauty, the second grandmother is not opportunistic in clothes, she will be compared to the dust by Xue, she doesn't want to go back to change clothes.

After thinking about it, she said, "Mother, it's hot." The garment is light and breathable. I've never been in good shape. If only ......"

"Then you take care of the second master and Sister Hui at home, and it is the same for your mother and your sister-in-law to go to the Zhenxian Marquis Mansion. It's weirdly hot, your body is thin, it's so hot, how can you do it? Mrs. Sheng didn't wait for the second grandmother to finish speaking, and smiled. He interrupted her.

The purple of the second grandmother's face was brushed.

She hurriedly said: "My mother and sister-in-law are not afraid of heat, how dare I be lazy." I'm going to change it. With that, he saluted Mrs. Sheng and turned around and walked out of Yuanyang Pavilion.

Zhenxian Marquis Mansion marries his daughter, and the guests who come are all high-ranking families, and the second grandmother wants to go, and it is good to know a few ladies and grandmothers.

Although the Marquis of Shengchang's mansion is prominent, Mrs. Sheng is not a native of Kyoto, and her personality is softer and she is not good at socializing. Those who have a good relationship with Sheng Changhou, because of Mrs. Sheng's indifference, the female relatives do not like to come to the Sheng family.

Invite Mrs. Sheng as a guest, but Mrs. Sheng doesn't like to go.

After going back and forth, Mrs. Sheng didn't know many noble ladies, and even fewer people who had close contacts with the daughters of the Sheng family.

The second grandmother, Ge, wanted to get to know some wives from high-ranking and noble families, but because her mother-in-law refused to socialize, she couldn't get past her mother-in-law. Even if the mother-in-law doesn't like to go, and the grandmother of the prince is in the way, it will not be the turn of the second grandmother Ge Shi to go out to socialize.

There are indeed not many opportunities like today, and the second grandmother doesn't want to miss it.

Although the second master is raised in the name of Mrs. Sheng, in the end, he is the son of Tongfang, how much can the second master get in this huge family business in the future?

Not only the second grandmother knows, but the people of the Kyoto Wang clan know. So her sister Hui is a concubine, and so far everyone who asks her relatives is a person who doesn't know what to do. is such a tall and wealthy family, and would rather marry Sheng Xiuyi's daughter Sheng Leyun, even if she was born to an aunt.

Because in the future, Sheng Xiuyi will be the Marquis of Shengchang, and the second master Sheng Xiuhai is nothing, this is the judgment of Yunni.

The second grandmother is not lively, and her sister Hui has to lose to Sheng Leyun, who was born to Sheng Xiuyi's aunt, everywhere. This made the second grandmother unbearable.

Looking at her pink coat, she couldn't help but sigh.

The mother-in-law is really, she has to let her daughter-in-law dress like her, and she can't get a little huā.

Look at Grandma Xia Er in the Mansion of Princess Wenjing, she often makes some new and clever clothes, and everyone in Kyoto boasts that she can dress up.

Xia Er's grandmother can, but Sheng Er's grandmother Ge can't.

The second grandmother, Ge Shi, couldn't help but think that the new Xue family was Mrs. Hesheng's temper, dressed in a serious way, without any whistle, and always turned over and over so many clothes and so many pieces of jewelry. When Xue got married, there were more than a dozen boxes of Ayaluo's clothes, and her hands couldn't fit in, but she loved some dark color gowns, and deposited so many precious and bright clothes at the bottom of the box.

The second grandmother only saw her with a dazzling Fengdian just three days before the Xue family passed the door. In the days that followed, she always had a little oil hairpin on her head, or two handfuls of tangled plum huā comb grates, or one inlaid with amber phoenix.

She didn't wear the dazzling and precious jewelry that Xue married, and Mrs. Sheng felt more and more that Xue was so good, and she was not allowed to renovate her second grandmother Ge.

The second grandmother thought about it, and her heart was on fire: if she had Xue's appearance, she would dress more neatly than Xue's.

But she didn't.

The mother-in-law asked her to dress herself according to Xue's clothes, didn't she be compared to Xue's as useless?

The second grandmother will not be so stupid.

She went back to the house, changed into a silver-red silk bat spring and summer gown, and secretly knitted a gold skirt with a folded feather tassel Fengdian, and the whole person was a little brighter, and took the maid again and went to Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion.

Mrs. Sheng bowed slightly.

She didn't want the second grandmother to dress plainly, but wanted her to dress modestly. Although it is bejeweled now, it is not abrupt, but there is a kind of grace of a noblewoman, and Mrs. Sheng no longer says anything.

The three mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law, surrounded by the maid and mother-in-law behind them, went out of the hanging huā gate, got into the green car, and arrived at the gate of the Sheng Mansion.

There were already carriages with canopy hanging plumage tassels waiting there, followed by several green canopy carriages.

The maids first helped Mrs. Sheng to get into the car, and then helped Dongyu and the second grandmother Ge, and then they also sat in the back car.

When he arrived at the Zhenxian Marquis's Mansion, a steward had already sent a servant to inform the greeters in the inner courtyard. Dongyi's sister-in-law Hang Shi greeted her, politely saluted Mrs. Sheng, and asked Mrs. Sheng for her safety.

Then he greeted Dong Ying and his second grandmother Ge Shi.

returned the salute to each other, and the eldest grandmother led them to the Yuanfeng Pavilion of the Rong family, the grandson and wife.

Dongyu smiled and asked the grandmother in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, don't you entertain your grandmother now?" ”

The eldest grandmother smiled and said, "It's been hot these days, and the ancestor used some chilled mung bean soup in the afternoon the day before yesterday. The old man has a bad stomach, he got up three times the day before and night, and he had a fever yesterday......"

Dongyi's footsteps paused slightly.

The eldest grandmother smiled and took her arm: "I asked for too much medicine, and it's fine." The old ancestor also instructed us that the ninth aunt and grandmother came back and treated them well, so that the ninth aunt and grandmother could be relieved, and the old ancestor would not be in the way. ”

When Mrs. Sheng heard this, she also said, "Why don't we take a look at the ancestors first?" ”

The eldest grandmother said: "No, Mrs. in-law, the doctor said that it is not good to see guests for quiet recuperation." After eating, I took the ninth aunt and grandmother to take a look, and the in-laws and the second grandmother came with me with peace of mind. ”

Mrs. Sheng had no choice but to say to Dongyu: "You go back and ask the ancestors for your mother." ”

Dong Yu said yes, but he faintly guessed in his heart.

My grandmother was always in good shape, and it didn't get in the way to use something cold in the summer.

She said she was sick, was it really that her health had deteriorated or was it for Dongyu?

A few days ago, Dong Yu asked Rose to come back and tell the old lady that she might be pregnant. The old lady also promised to find an opportunity to ask the imperial doctor to take Dongyu's pulse.

Thinking about it, Dong Ying became absent-minded.

The eldest grandmother, Hang, led them to the Yuanfeng Pavilion of the Rong family, the wife of the prince, to speak, and then moved to the main hall of the Xue family's inner courtyard to sit down.

The weather was too hot, ice was used in the main hall, and Mrs. Shizi also called the maids to fan on the side, but everyone still kept wiping their sweat and their appetite was not very good.

A few plump ladies and grandmothers also went to change their clothes halfway.

Taking advantage of the gap, Dong Ying asked Mrs. Sheng to go to see Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Sheng bowed slightly, and Dong Ying took the maid Rose to the old lady's Rongde Pavilion.

Hearing that the little maid and grandmother Jiu Gu were coming, the old lady hurriedly came out of the inner room, smiling, walking steadily, and not sickly, Dong Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that my grandmother is sick, and it is really for Dongyu.

"Grandmother, my sister-in-law said you had a cold." Dongyu stepped forward to greet the old lady, and helped her into the inner room, "You're all right, aren't you?" ”
