Chapter 117 Visitor (2)

Sheng Lehao ​​was a little surprised.

He saw the tenderness in Dong Yuan's eyes, and his tone was very sincere. After thinking for a while, he said softly: "Mr. , There is something not to do when you are poor, and what you don’t get when you are poor. Cultivate your body first, and then build words, morality, and meritorious service.”

The smile in Dong Yuan's eyes became more and more intense, and he said: "Yes, a national scholar should have a strong character, but how can a gentleman restrain himself?"

When Sheng Lehao ​​heard this, he suddenly realized what his aunt wanted to say, and his voice became more calm, and he said: "Don't see anything wrong with it, don't listen to anything wrong with it, don't speak anything wrong with it, don't move anything wrong with it."

Sheng Leyu and Sheng Leyun looked at his brother with a little envy when they saw his brother's eloquence.

After Sheng Lehao ​​finished speaking, he glanced at Sheng Leyu.

Sheng Leyu raised her pink face and asked, "Brother, Brother Yu is going to study too..."

Dong Yuan smiled and said: "Brother Yu will go to the outer courtyard to study next year, and he will be as eager to learn as big brother. Do you know what big brother said just now?"

Sheng Leyu shook her head honestly, wrapped her arms around Dong Yuan, climbed onto her body, and asked with a sweet smile: "Mother, brother Yu didn't study, so I don't understand..."

Dong Yuan laughed, and roughly explained the sentences such as "see no evil" in vernacular.

Then he asked Sheng Leyu: "Brother Yu, tell me, what do you mean?"

Sheng Leyu was still at a loss.

Sheng Leyun at the side tentatively said: "Brother Yu, you overheard your grandfather getting angry just now, it's not a gentleman's doing. That's not good..."

Sheng Leyu suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking at Dong Yuan as if asking for proof.

Dong Yuan nodded slightly, boasting that Sheng Leyun was right.

Sheng Leyun relaxed her awkward expression, and lowered her head and smiled lightly.

"Then..." Sheng Leyu panicked, "Then I can't be the number one scholar?"

Saying this, I was about to cry.

Dong Yuan couldn't help laughing.

Sheng Lehao ​​and Sheng Leyun were also amused by Sheng Leyu's expression, and the siblings pursed their lips.

Dong Yuan hugged him and said with a smile: "Brother Yu just listened to it once, it's fine to change it next time. It doesn't matter this time..."

Sheng Leyu hurriedly asked: "Then I won't eavesdrop on others from now on, can I still be the number one scholar?" His tone was urgent.

Dong Yuan nodded with certainty: "Yes."

Sheng Leyu didn't seem to believe it, and turned to look at Sheng Lehao.

Sheng Lehao ​​suppressed a smile: "Brother Yu will listen to his mother from now on, be filial to her mother, and not eavesdrop on what other people are saying. When he grows up, he will be the number one scholar."

Only then did Sheng Leyu feel relieved, and nodded his head like garlic: "I don't listen to others anymore, I am filial to my mother."

Qiangwei at the side saw Sheng Leyu clinging to Dong Yuan's body, she was worried all the time, only now did she dare to hug Sheng Leyu, and said with a smile: "Second young master, grandma is tired, can this servant carry you down, okay?"

Sheng Leyu hurriedly agreed, and ordered Qiangwei to come down.

Dong Yuan's eyes were a little tired, so he asked the three of them to go back to their houses.

The three brothers and sisters came out of the Jingsheyuan, followed by Sheng Lehao's servant, Yanyu, and greeted them.

Sheng Leyun and Sheng Leyu lived in the inner courtyard, each with a wet nurse.

Saying goodbye to Sheng Leyu and Sheng Leyun, Sheng Lehao ​​took his servant, Yanyu, to the outer courtyard.

Sheng Leyu called his elder brother behind his back.

"Brother, I'm going to play in your yard." Sheng Leyu shook off Sheng Leyun's hand, and ran towards Sheng Lehao ​​with small steps.

Without waiting for Sheng Lehao ​​to agree, he took Sheng Lehao's hand and led him away.

Mother Su, who followed Sheng Leyu's nurse, hurried forward, squatted down and said to Sheng Leyu, "Second Young Master, if you are going to play in the outer courtyard, you should report to Madam first. Otherwise, Madam should be worried."

Sheng Leyun also persuaded: "Brother Yu, elder brother wants to study, we will go another day."

Sheng Leyu refused, wrapped around Sheng Lehao's arms, and hid his head on Sheng Lehao's body: "I'm going to Big Brother's yard, I want to study with Big Brother..."

He is still young and doesn't know how hard it is to study, but he is envious of Sheng Lehao's eloquence.

Sheng Lehao ​​couldn't laugh or cry.

Mama Su, Sheng Leyun, and Mama Dai, Sheng Leyun's nanny, all persuaded her, but Sheng Leyu just refused to let her go.

Sheng Lehao ​​had no choice but to say: "...I took him to say hello to grandma, and then ask grandma."

Sheng Leyun frowned, and stopped Sheng Lehao: "Brother, grandfather returned to the inner courtyard early and is in Yuanyang Pavilion. Just now when my second brother and I went to pay our respects, Xiangru didn't let us in..."

That is to say, Marquis Shengchang and Mrs. Sheng have a private conversation, and others should not disturb them.

Sheng Leyu was clinging tightly again, Sheng Lehao ​​had no choice but to take him along.

Sheng Leyun has always taken good care of the young Sheng Leyu, so she followed.

So Sheng Leyun and Sheng Leyu's nurses and maids followed, and the group went to Sheng Lehao's yard together.

After the children left, Dong Yuan's mood of trying to calm down surged again.

Did something happen to Sheng Xiuyi?
Was the strange man that Bi Qiu came back to talk about sent by Sheng Xiuyi?

Thinking about it, my heart was on fire, wishing I could go to Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion immediately to ask about the situation.

But just now Sheng Leyu said that Marquis Sheng Chang was in Yuanyang Pavilion and was angry.Besides, when Mother Kang reported the situation to Mrs. Sheng, she winked at Mrs. Sheng and dismissed Dong Yuan.

I don't want her to know.

Sheng Changhou was still on fire, Dong Yuan didn't want to get into trouble.

She reclined on the large pillow with ink and brocade, closing her eyes and feigning sleep.

Qiangwei thought she was tired, so she put on a thin fur coat for her, in case she would catch a cold.

Dong Yuan didn't bother to open his eyes, thinking about his own thoughts alone.

Since the bell rang, Qiangwei told her to get up and go to greet Mrs. Sheng.

Changing into a moon-white begonia-patterned begonia, Dong Yuan supported Qiangwei's hand, and a little maid followed them to Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion.

She entered the house and saw a room full of people.

Marquis Sheng Chang's face was tense, and his expression was very ugly; Mrs. Sheng tried her best to accompany her smile; the third master Sheng Xiumu sat on a row of grand master's chairs along the kang.

Above him, sat a man wearing a bluestone-colored cocoon silk gown.

Dong Yuan's heart skipped a beat, is it the person Bi Qiu came back to talk about?

Could it be the person Sheng Xiuyi sent back...

She faltered suddenly.

She saluted Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Changhou, and then saluted the third master.

The third master returned the salute, pointed at the man in green and said to Dong Yuan: "Sister-in-law, this is the eldest cousin from my hometown, and he just came from Huizhou today."

Is it someone from Huizhou's hometown?
The tone that Dong Yuan held in his heart slowly fell, if it wasn't the bad news for Sheng Xiuyi.

She didn't have time to look at the eldest cousin, so she knelt down and saluted him.

The eldest cousin returned the gift to Dong Yuan.

When he was seated, Dong Yuan glanced at him.There seemed to be two or three points similar between the eyebrows and Sheng Changhou, but his face was bitter, and he couldn't see the joy of visiting relatives.

After Dong Yuan sat down, the room became quiet again, and no one spoke.

Mrs. Sheng had no choice but to find something to say, saying that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Dong Yuan sent in the afternoon was delicious and very appetizing, and asked her how she made it.

Dong Yuan smiled and said: "The sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the yard are in bloom, so I picked fresh ones. Mother Luo made them, and she made good pastries."

Mrs. Sheng said with a smile: "I'm getting old, and I also love these easy pastries. Let Mama Luo teach me how to cook..."

Dong Yuan said yes.

Then, there was another silence.

Madam Sheng had no choice but to say again: "Ah Yuan, you should go back first. The road is not easy to walk after dark, and you are twinned."

Dong Yuan sensed that this "cousin" was unusual, and the oppressive atmosphere made her uncomfortable.It wasn't bad news for Sheng Xiuyi, she felt relieved and didn't want to stay longer.

Mrs. Sheng asked her to go back first, she was so eager to get up, she hurriedly got up to salute Sheng Changhou, Mrs. Sheng, the third master and the first cousin, and retreated.

People from the Sheng family in their hometown?

Except for Kang's mother, all the servants in the family were bought after they went to Beijing, and they couldn't find out even if they tried to inquire.Not to mention that the matter has nothing to do with him, Dong Yuan walked back to the Jingsheyuan with a slow pace.

Sheng Xiuyi has been away for so long, and there is only one letter.

Since then, there has been no news.

The next day, after breakfast, he went to greet Mrs. Sheng. During the chat, Dong Yuan asked what the elder cousin was doing here.

"Brother Chen is going to Beijing to do some private business, so come over to see us." Mrs. Sheng smiled and said to Dong Yuan, "Uncle has been away for many years, and Huizhou is far away from the capital, so they usually don't come here very often."

Dong Yuan smiled.

She heard Mrs. Sheng call that eldest cousin Brother Chen, and guessed that his full name should be Sheng Xiuchen.

Sheng Wenhui, Marquis of Shengchang, has two younger brothers. The second uncle is Sheng Wenming, who works as a petty official in Kyoto;

I never heard that Sheng Wenhui has a big brother.

"I've never heard of an uncle in Huizhou..." Seeing Mrs. Sheng mentioning the uncle's family, Dong Yuan's expression darkened slightly, and he didn't dare to ask further questions, so he had to exchange casual greetings, trying to find a way to divert the conversation away. .

Mrs. Sheng said: "Uncle is the concubine brother of Lord Hou, who has been gone for more than ten years. His heirs are weak, and there is only one brother Chen who serves in front of your aunt. Your aunt's surname is Cheng, a native of Huizhou, and she refuses to leave her hometown. , so he didn’t come to Kyoto with us. He stayed in his hometown to guard the house.”

Dong Yuan made a sound.

After two months of peaceful life, Shengjing entered the winter month.

On the ninth day of the first winter month, Dong Yuan drew a circle on the book on the table.

Sheng Xiuyi's trip to the northwest has been five full months.If things are settled, he will start his journey back to Beijing now, and maybe he can catch up with the birth of Dongyuan's child.

She is six months old.

If you can't, you're missing out.

The weather that day was frighteningly gloomy, with black clouds pressing down everywhere, and the cold wind cutting his face like a knife.

After the weather turned cold, Mrs. Sheng asked her to sit in Yuanyang Pavilion every day when she was free, so as not to say hello in the morning and evening.She was afraid that the road would be slippery in the dark, and she would hurt herself.

Dong Yuan also agreed.No matter it's windy or rainy, at the beginning of every day, I have to go to Mrs. Sheng's place to sit.

Mrs. Sheng scolded her.

She said she was bored and wanted to talk to her mother.She was very persistent, and Mrs. Sheng let her go, but ordered a few more maidservants to accompany her.

Went to Yuanyang Pavilion on the ninth day of the first winter month, Mrs. Sheng was telling the two little maids to pack their bags.

"Mother, is Daddy going out?" Dong Yuan asked Madam Sheng after seeing a men's fur coat wrapped in the bundle on the kang after bowing to Madam Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng looked sad: "No, Brother Mu is going out. Your aunt in Huizhou is gone. Neither Brother Yi nor Master Hou can go back. Let Brother Mu go back to see her off."

The third master Sheng Xiumu has an errand.

And the second master, Sheng Xiuhai, was beaten up last time because of Miss Yuan's matter, and has been "bedridden", quit his errands, and stayed at home.

"Is Second Master going too?" Dong Yuan asked.

Mrs. Sheng paused, sighed, and said, "Brother Hai suffered from some wind and cold and couldn't hurry, so I let Brother Mu go."
