In Shengjing City, there has always been a folk saying.

The north is rich and the south is rich, and the east is rich and western.

It is said that the north side is inhabited by the elite, while the south side is mostly rich and urban.

The east side is dominated by businessmen, and the northwest is mostly where artisans and ordinary people gather.

Therefore, the Dong family, who has taken root in Shengjing City for several generations, has a house in Nafang City, which is located in the southeast.

Three streets and six alleys divide the market into rules.

Among them, the place where the Dong family is located has a good name, Dengwen Street.

The street is full of street vendors rushing to the market, and the shopkeepers are shouting.

Although it is not to the point of succession, it is also very lively.

Dong's house is at the intersection of Dengwen Street.

From the outside, the face is not big.

If you don't look closely, you think it's just an ordinary courtyard of a private house.

But there is no hole in it.

It's a three-entry courtyard with things across the courtyard.

The small bridge is flowing water, simple and elegant.

Although it is a family of merchants, it does not have the slightest breath of getting rich.

On the contrary, it is planted with green pines and cypresses, plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums that many literati and elegant guests like.

The scenery is pleasant, as if moving a Jiangnan garden at home.

The eldest lady Dong's carriage stopped at the door, and the maids Chanjuan and Sujuan helped her get out of the carriage.

Seeing that the third girl from the family had returned, the little maid who was guarding the door immediately stepped forward and said with a smile.

"The little one said hello to the third aunt and grandmother, why did the third aunt come back?"

"What about them, sir? Are they all at home? ”

"Yes, but the uncle and the second grandfather and the second grandmother are not at home."

The eldest lady Dong thought about it, and immediately commanded the little girl.

"Go and bring them back, and say that I have something important to discuss with them, and you have to be quick, you know?"

Seeing the expression of the eldest lady Dong, the little girl was a little serious.

So he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately got up and said.

"Third aunt and grandmother, don't worry, the little one will go!"

With that, he trotted towards the Dong family's medical hall.

The eldest lady Dong entered the door of the Dong family and went straight to the main courtyard where her parents were.

I didn't have time to take care of the good scenery along the way, but I met my sister-in-law Wang halfway.

This sister-in-law's family and their Dong family have been good friends for generations, so since she married in.

The family lived happily.

I saw that she was slender and well-maintained.

Although she is a merchant woman, she is not in the habit of wearing gold and silver.

Instead, he prefers to use jade and pearls.

Under the sun, the mutton fat white jade bracelet hanging on her wrist is warm and delicate, which is the heirloom of the Dong family.

There are three of them.

The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, and the girl Dong Qinzhen (the eldest lady Dong) all have them.

Seeing the sister-in-law Wang, the eldest lady Dong immediately stepped forward.

I saw that Wang Shi also looked at Dong Shi with a puzzled face, and asked curiously.

"Why did the third sister come back suddenly? Don't say hello, I'll send someone to meet you at the door. ”

"Sister-in-law, I came in a hurry, so I didn't say it in advance."

"What's going on?"

"There's a letter from the palace, saying that I can enter the palace in two days."

"Really?"

Sister-in-law Wang is also full of surprises, for Lin Wanyi, a little girl, their whole family likes it very much.

At the beginning, when they knew the news that she was going to enter the palace, everyone was not happy.

I thought that this entrance to the palace was as deep as the sea, but I was afraid that I would lose my family in this life.

I didn't expect to be able to enter the palace so soon.

So his pace quickened a little, and he walked briskly towards the main courtyard with the eldest lady Dong.

In the main courtyard, there is delicacy everywhere.

This delicacy does not lie in the carved beams and paintings, but in the flowers and trees cultivated with care.

Many of them are famous species transported from the south of the Yangtze River, especially the podocarpus that is symmetrically placed on the left and right sides, also known as the money pine, which is called a beautiful one.

One of the two elders of the Dong family is learning characters, and the other is sorting out silk threads.

If there are no outsiders to disturb you, it is a quiet time.

"The daughter-in-law gave her father-in-law, and the mother-in-law asked for peace, and the third sister came over."

The old lady and his wife of the Dong family raised their heads when they heard their eldest daughter-in-law Wang speak.

As a result, when I saw my daughter suddenly appear, I was also full of doubts.

I thought something was wrong.

Immediately put down the matter in her hand, and Mrs. Dong hurriedly walked over and asked.

"What's going on? Are those people in your husband's family making things difficult for you again? ”

The eldest lady Dong smiled bitterly.

And then immediately explained.

"No, it's news from the palace, saying that I can go into the palace to see Qianqian, so I rushed to report the good news to the second elder."

After knowing her intention, the second elder relaxed.

"Ouch, I'm scared to death, I thought something was wrong with you!"

It was Mrs. Dong who spoke, and she patted her chest with her hand to give herself relief.

There was also some doting blame in his expression.

And the old lady Dong who was standing on the side didn't speak, but she looked at her daughter with a lot of love between her eyebrows.

Mrs. Dong is also in her sixties now, but her body is very strong and strong.

There is neither pot-bellied poop nor senile dragon clocks.

If you look carefully at the eyebrows and facial features, you must have been a handsome man when you were young.

Therefore, when I am old, I have not seen the turbidity.

And the old lady Dong beside him is even more properly maintained.

It is probably because of the love of the husband and the filial piety of the children, so he has lived a safe and smooth life.

The body is a little fat, but this is indeed a good blessing in the eyes of outsiders.

Seeing that my parents are in good health and in a good mood.

Dong thought about it and spoke.

"My daughter came this time, firstly, to report the good news, and secondly, to let my parents think of ideas and let me bring a few prescriptions in."

"Prescription?"

"What is it for? But there's trouble there? ”

Mrs. Dong is worthy of seeing the slightest knowledge, and his daughter just opened the first sentence, and he guessed a rough idea.

I saw that the eldest lady Dong's face turned from happy to worried, and then said.

"I was afraid that my father and mother would worry, so my daughter didn't say anything. When Hesong participated in the dragon boat race, he came back and said that Qianqian's foot was injured, and when the old man was summoned by the emperor to enter the palace a few days ago, he was told about Qianqian's poisoning, so he ......"

Before the eldest lady Dong finished speaking, the old lady Dong's body went limp.

If it weren't for the quick eyes of the old lady Dong next to her, I was afraid that people would fall to the ground.

The old lady Dong took Dong's hand and asked anxiously.

"How so? How so? ”

They were outside, although they knew that life in the palace was not easy.

But I didn't expect it to be so much trouble.

Wounded?

Poisoning!

It's unbelievable.

The Dong family has always been very rigorous.

There is no concubine, and there are no descendants.

Therefore, the days of harmony in the family house and the help of relatives have passed for many years.

Every time they mentioned the suppression of the Lin family's big house, they had to sigh for many days.

Who knew that his beloved granddaughter had entered the palace, but she was living a life of licking blood from the knife's edge, which really made the Dong family worried.
