Dong Lianyue wanted to ask Mama Li again, but Dong Qianmo quietly pulled her and signaled her not to ask more. Dong Lianyue understood, and really shut up.

Mama Li asked the maid to set up a table of fruit and snacks on the stone platform in the garden, and asked Dong Qianmo and Dong Lianyue to wait while eating, and a little maid was placed next to her to pour fruit wine for them.

Dong Qianmo said: "I don't drink this, every time I drink this, I get dizzy the next day." ”

Dong Lianyue said with a smile: "I didn't expect the fourth sister to drink so shallowly, I taste this kind of fruit wine like sugar water, since the fourth sister doesn't eat it, then I won't eat it either." ”

"Then let's drink tea and eat Guizhi cake." Dong Qianmo suggested.

"Okay," Dong Lianyue instructed the little maid who poured the wine, "Let's not drink fruit wine, you go over there to play, don't disturb us." ”

The little maid walked away as she was told.

The two of them silently tasted a cup of tea, Dong Lianyue's eyes rolled, and then a little sly smile suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she grabbed Dong Qianmo's wrist and ran behind the rockery.

"Fifth sister, what are you going to do...... Dong Qianmo asked in a low voice.

"Fourth sister, don't ask, come with me."

Dong Lianyue pulled Dong Qianmo around behind the rockery, walking on a narrow path blocked by tree branches, and the flowers, trees, branches and leaves hung up the long hair of the two.

Dong Qianmo combed his messy hair with his fingers, and said dissatisfiedly: "Fifth sister, you are too naughty, I won't go with you." ”

Dong Lianyue said: "Come with me, it's guaranteed to be fun, but fourth sister, you remember, you can't even pant loudly for a while, remember." ”

Bypassing a wild lotus pond again, Dong Qianmo really stopped talking, she already knew what place this was.

There are eight houses side by side in front, and the rosewood doors and windows are all closed, but the faint smell of sandalwood comes out through the window paper, wafting all over the courtyard. This is the backyard of Yiheyuan, and three of the eight rooms are where the old lady rests.

It seems that Dong Lianyue is used to coming here, and it seems that this is not the first time she has done such a quiet thing. Seeing that she used her two hands to make a gesture that she absolutely could not speak, Dong Qianmo nodded solemnly, and she was relieved to lead Dong Qianmo to lean under the window.

The two of them held their breath and listened.

There was a sound of talking in the room, and it seemed that two or three people were talking. Apparently, the old lady was not taking a nap.

One of them was Aunt Tang's soft and demure voice, and I only heard her say: "I can only say a few words about these words, aunt, what else?" ”

The old lady Tang's voice was a little angry: "This third daughter-in-law is too unreasonable, I'll talk about her later." ”

An old lady's voice said: "No, the old lady still don't talk about the lady, she is such a delicate person, in front of everyone, there is no more delicate needle than her, so that people can't find a mistake." But once our Aunt Tang really has a shortage of things and shortages, and then find Mrs. to go, there is no way at all, let her drag it, she dares to drag it for you for twenty or thirty days. ”

The old lady said: "This Congyun, I have always said that she is generous, but I didn't expect her to grow up more and more." ”

Aunt Tang complained: "Before the change, this kind of thing made it difficult for me to say, she is a wife and I am a concubine, she sits, I only have to stand, but I swallow my anger and live a day is just a day." Fortunately, God is pitiful, give me Lin'er, if I can give birth to a son for my lord this time, I will close my eyes even if I die. ”

The old lady said: "Don't you want to say these unlucky words, I haven't closed my eyes yet, why do you close your eyes?" You are now the first hero of our Dong family, and after you give birth successfully, you will enjoy endless blessings and longevity. Now what you have to do is to raise the fetus with peace of mind, don't think about it, and when you give birth to a big fat boy to the third child, the third child will feel sorry for you from the bottom of his heart. ”

Aunt Tang said: "What my aunt said is that Aunt Xie explained, I feel much better this time." ”

"Go back and take care of it, the medicine should be drunk without falling, and the first three months are not sloppy at all." The old lady instructed, "You don't have to come here every day, you come and go with a big belly, it's too hard." ”

"Okay, my niece understands and will take care of herself."

"Let's go back if there's nothing else to do."

"But there's one more thing...... When I came, I asked my aunt by the way. Aunt Tang suddenly vomited a little.

"What's the matter?" The old lady asked.

"I heard that auntie, you are talking to the fourth young lady, and Geng Ti has taken it to Yuzhang Palace." Aunt Tang's voice suddenly turned smaller.

Dong Lianyue leaned forward and put her ear on the window paper. Dong Qianmo saw that she had her head up, and it was easy to be noticed by the people in the house, so he quietly pressed her head down.

The old lady said: "There is such a thing, this was originally a finger between Qianmo's mother and the late princess, and it was just a verbal joke at that time, but now, the two people who have made an agreement have entered the ground, I don't know if Yuzhang Wangfu still recognizes it." ”

"Probably will? After all, it was Princess Yuzhang who personally agreed. Aunt Tang asked cautiously.

"Qianmo's birthday has been sent by Mrs. Tian, and she replied that she had accepted it over there, and told us to wait."

"Only the fourth lady's birthday?" Aunt Tang asked slowly.

The point of Aunt Tang's question is to ask if Miss Four is the only one who has this opportunity?

I don't know if the old lady really didn't understand, or if she was pretending to be confused, I just heard her say: "In addition to the eight characters of the birthday, I also asked people to draw a portrait of Qianmo painted by the painter last year, as well as the teacups and embroidered thrushes painted by Qianmo, all of which were sent together." ”

Aunt Tang didn't want to inquire about these trivialities, but since the old lady didn't understand, she had to ask more bluntly: "Second Miss and Third Miss, why don't you send them together?" ”

After a pause, the old lady said: "Since it was planned for Qianmo, of course it was given to her." ”

"In case Miss Four's eight characters don't match, isn't it a waste of a great opportunity?" Aunt Tang persuaded softly, "Even if the fourth lady does it alone, you can also piggyback on others." ”

The old lady said: "I haven't thought about what you said, although Xuanying has reached the age when she should find her mother-in-law's family, but her mother's idea is big, and I passed the anger with her mother before, and it is not uncommon for Xuanying to marry into Yuzhang Palace." So what else can I say? As for Xian Pei, didn't she have a marriage contract with Shi Jiong, and later wanted to retire but didn't make it? ”

Aunt Tang hurriedly said: "Xian Pei and Shi Jiong's marriage contract has long been withdrawn, but I haven't had time to tell you that Xian Pei has no marriage contract now." ”

"Retreated?" The old lady was strange, "But last month, I asked the third child to go to Liu's mansion to find Lord Liu again, and let Lord Liu be the master of the family, and the third child came back and told me that Lord Liu shirked and said that he couldn't be the master of the Shi family, and if he wanted to withdraw his family, he had to discuss with Shi Jiong himself." Shi Jiong's overlord-like person, unreasonable and lawless, who can make sense of him? ”

mentioned Shi Jiong, the old lady was a little angry between her words, and she seemed to be extremely displeased with this person.

Aunt Tang said softly: "Don't talk about him like that, Shi Jiong just had his father die early, and he was used to falling alone, so he developed such a lonely temperament." Anyway, he's the same as Xianpei, calling you aunt and grandma, you don't call the shots for him, he doesn't even have an elder who can call the shots! ”

The old lady asked, "Since I have already withdrawn from my family, what else should I do?" ”

Aunt Tang sighed and said, "A few days ago, under the peace of Lord Liu, Shi Jiong promised to write a letter of divorce to Xianpei, but he had one condition, he wanted to choose another young lady in our family to marry. In other words, it is necessary to exchange a letter of appointment for a letter of resignation. ”

The old lady was greatly annoyed when she heard this: "This time Jiong is against the sky, and he dares to threaten the head of the Taishi Mansion, this kind of bastard bastard's bastard words, ignore him!" ”

Aunt Tang was embarrassed: "But Liu Youcheng mediated from it, we can't refute his face, and besides, Xian Pei and Shi Jiong quarreled as soon as they met, and what they lacked was a husband and wife." If you follow this family, you won't know how to make an earth-shaking quarrel in the future. ”

The old lady said: "I asked the third child to quit this family, but I don't want to be an in-law with the Shi family, and I want to follow Shi Jiong's request, isn't it the same to let this bastard boy be the Dong family's fast son-in-law?" ”

Aunt Tang was silent for a while, and said: "How can it be the same, Xianpei is not only your granddaughter, but also your niece, you usually love her more than other young ladies, is the most critical thing above you don't feel sorry for her?" ”

"I naturally love her, but Shi Jiong, that bad boy, our family and the Liu family can't do anything about him, so what?"

"Now that he has agreed to withdraw from the marriage, as long as he follows his request, Xian Pei can officially divorce him." Aunt Tang said word by word.

The implication is that as long as you pick one of the other daughters of the Dong family and replace Dong Xianpei, Dong Xianpei will not have to marry an unsatisfactory Langjun. It's just that although this method is good, it also requires the sacrifice of one person.

The old lady sighed, and after a while asked, "Who does he want to be replaced?" Xuanying doesn't need to mention it, it can't be done at all. ”

Dong Lianyue, who was eavesdropping under the windowsill, suddenly became nervous, just because she stood with her waist hunched for too long, her legs were numb, and her calves suddenly cramped under the fright, and her whole delicate body fell backwards, and Dong Qianmo just caught her.

The hands of the two were clasped together, Dong Lianyue's fingers were cold, and she grabbed Dong Qianmo tightly.

Then, I only heard Aunt Tang say: "Shi Jiong has no opinion on himself, he said that anyone can be changed, but——"

Dong Lianyue's heart beat to her throat.

"However, I think Miss Fourth is the most suitable candidate," Aunt Tang said, "I just met Miss Four, and I mentioned it to her, and she was a little willing." ”

Dong Lianyue's heart returned to her chest, and she slowly let go of Dong Qianmo's hand.

The old lady didn't believe it: "She is a little person who has no ideas, what can she be willing or not." ”

Aunt Tang said: "But she really nodded, I don't believe you asked her yourself, I also told her the general situation of the Shi family, there is no father-in-law and mother-in-law above, and you can be a housewife if you marry in." In terms of family property, the foundation of the family is there, Shi Jiong wants to lose, and he can't be defeated for a while. As for Shi Jiong himself, although his temperament is not easy-going, he also has real skills, and now he is also the fourth leader of the Xiaowei Battalion. ”

"But a lot of women died in their family."

"That was all caused by Shi Jiong's young and ignorant in the past, but now he is much more mature and capable, and he will never kill people indiscriminately. You know that kid, he is not bad by nature, and every time he kills someone, he is angry and doesn't stop. ”

"But what should I do with the other side of Yuzhang Palace?" The old lady's words were a little loose, obviously hesitating in her heart, "Geng Ti has been sent, and I haven't replied yet." ”

The old grandmother who had not spoken on the side suddenly spoke, "You are the aunt and grandmother of the third lady, if you have a good thing, you don't care about your own children, who are you close to?" Gengti's matter is too easy to do, just ask Tian Matchmaker to say that she made a mistake and take it back to change it, and change it to the third lady's birthday. ”
