Chapter 124 Missing (1)

After returning to Shengchanghou's mansion, Shengchanghou and his son got out of the carriage.

Mrs. Sheng sent her maid, Citron, to wait for Sheng Xiuyi at the door.

She was going to greet Sheng Xiuyi in person, but was interrupted by Dong Yuan's sudden delivery and went to the Jingsheyuan.

Seeing them entering the mansion, Citron followed all the stewards and servants and saluted them.

Shengchanghou's face was ashen, trying to put on a kinder expression, but he still saw a stern expression.

He caught a glimpse of Citron next to Madam Sheng in the crowd, called her to come forward, and asked, "Why don't you serve Madam by her side. What's the matter?"

Citron hurriedly saluted him again, and said: "Grandma gave birth to a son, and my wife is with her. Today, the eldest son returned to Beijing, and the third master entered the nobility. Madam asked the servants to welcome the Marquis, uncle and grandpa at the door." Grandpa."

Sheng Changhou said coldly: "Understood. You go back to Madam, I have something to say with Shizi, and I will go back to the inner courtyard in the evening."

Citron on its knees shall be.She was really afraid of speaking in front of Lord Hou, her cold appearance made people feel a little timid, and she didn't dare to breathe.

Sheng Changhou turned around and went to the outer study.

There are three outer study rooms in the Sheng family, one bright and two dark.

There are two dark study rooms, one belongs to Sheng Xiuyi and the other belongs to Sheng Changhou.

Sheng Changhou's dark study room was the place where he met with the Qing's staff and discussed important matters; Sheng Xiuyi's dark room was mostly where he stayed and rested.

After entering the study, Sheng Changhou called Sheng Xiuyi and Sheng Xiumu into his dark room.

Pushing open the fan with antique porcelain placed in the northwest corner, a door with the same color as the wall slowly moved out.

The father and son entered the dark room, and the door was slowly closed.

Follow Sheng Changhou's boy to guard the door.

Behind the dark room is a pavilion in the water of the Sheng Mansion, and lotus leaves are planted in front of the window.There is a large kang by the window, with two pairs of large ink pillows, black ink kang tables, and a whole set of tea sets.

On the opposite side is a shelf of books taller than a person, neatly stacked with Sheng Changhou's books.

A pen holder is set up on the desk.

Pushing the window open, you can see the gazebo in the distance and smell the fragrance of peach pistils in early spring.

Sheng Changhou had long since ignored the matter of scolding Sheng Xiuyi for resigning the position of the third-rank servant, and straight to the point, he said how to deal with Dong Yuan and the child: "...the child stays, and there will always be a chance to send it in in the future; that woman, send it to me first after confinement Tianlong Temple, someone from the palace will naturally pick her up."

Hearing his father's words, Sheng Xiumu wanted to nod his head, but seeing Sheng Xiuyi's expression was cold and normal, he withheld his approval.

"Brother, what do you think?" He asked Sheng Xiuyi.

Sheng Xiuyi was silent for a long time, and said to Sheng Changhou: "Father, just now I was talking with my third brother in the carriage, and my third brother said that the emperor often goes to the palace of our noble concubine these days, is it true?"

Marquis Sheng Chang was waiting for him to speak, but after waiting for a long time, he heard irrelevant words, so he got angry: "Take care of the affairs in your room, let's talk about others! The imperial concubine and the empress have me and Brother Mu."

Sheng Xiuyi already knew it in his heart, and said: "I have no objection to sending her and the child away. Daddy and Old Master Xue can discuss it."

Said, got up to go out of the dark room.

Sheng Changhou was very dissatisfied with him, but when he heard his words of agreement, he didn't bother to pursue the matter, he just stopped him: "You must not let your mother know about this matter."

He was talking about the secret knot between Dong Yuan and Emperor Yuanchang.

Mrs. Sheng liked Dong Yuan very much, if she found out, she would be very sad and disappointed.Sheng Changhou didn't want Mrs. Sheng to be too sad.

When sending Xue Shi away in a few days, it will not be too late to tell her the truth.

Sheng Xiu said yes, turned around and left the darkroom.

Sheng Xiumu glanced at Sheng Changhou, and said with a dry smile: "Father, you can find someone to discuss how to deal with it, I'll go out first."

Sheng Changhou was preoccupied with how to send Dong Yuan away, so he nodded vaguely absent-mindedly.

Sheng Xiumu hurriedly followed Sheng Xiuyi's pace and went out.

He went out of the study and saw Sheng Xiuyi going to the inner courtyard, thinking that Sheng Xiuyi was going back to Jingsheyuan to see Mrs. Xue, so he stepped forward and stopped him: "Brother, where are you going? Don't mess with Dad anymore. "

If my father heard that the eldest brother had returned to the Jingsheyuan, he would be scolded again and would become very angry.

Sheng Xiuyi paused, then said with a faint smile, "I've been away for nine months, and it's time to pay my mother a visit when I come back."

Sheng Xiumu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I'll accompany you."

Sheng Xiuyi nodded.

The two brothers went back to the inner courtyard side by side, the more Sheng Xiumu thought about it, the more he felt that his eldest brother was really strange.If Sheng Xiumu's wife had caused such a scandal, he would definitely not be able to contain his anger.But the eldest brother was calm and calm, acting as if nothing happened.

He is really tolerant.

The two brothers entered the inner courtyard and went straight to Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion.

Mother Kang and Citron were both in the Jingsheyuan, leaving only Xiangrui to guard the courtyard.

Seeing the two brothers Sheng Xiuyi coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said with a smile: "Why are the son and the third master here? Madam is at Grandma's."

Then he blessed Sheng Xiu Yifu's body, "My servant congratulates the son on his precious son."

Sheng Xiuyi smiled slightly, and entered the east room of Mrs. Sheng's living and banqueting place.

Sheng Xiumu looked at his back worriedly, and followed him in.

Xiang Ru felt that something was wrong with the two masters, so she didn't dare to say any more.She didn't know what happened to Sheng Xiuyi and Sheng Xiumu, so she simply didn't say anything, so as not to make too many mistakes, she just ordered the servant girl to serve them tea, and stood aside to serve them with her head bowed.

"Go and tell Madam that Shi Ziye and I are here, and see when Madam will come back." Sheng Xiumu sipped two sips of hot tea and said to Xiang Ru.

Xiang Ru looked suspiciously at Sheng Xiuyi and Sheng Xiumu again, bowed her knees in response, and walked out of Dongci Room.

On the way to the Jingsheyuan, she couldn't help being curious: In the past, I saw that the son and the grandma were like glue, but now the grandma gave birth to a fat boy for the son. When the son returned to Shengjing for the first time, he knew that Mrs. Sheng was in the Jingsheyuan , should just have an excuse to rush back to see the big grandma.

How come he is sitting in Yuanyang Pavilion drinking tea leisurely when he knows Mrs. Sheng is at Grandma's place?
After thinking about it, she entered the Jingsheyuan.

The courtyard was extremely quiet, and the maids and women held their breaths.

Mrs. Sheng is currently choosing a nanny for the newly born Third Young Master.

Several nannies were in front of her, and Mrs. Sheng looked at it again and again, feeling unsatisfied.

Xiang Ru poked her head in, but when she saw Mrs. Sheng was busy, she retracted her head again.

But Citron in the room saw him right.She quietly raised the felt curtain and walked out.

"What's the matter?" Citron asked, "What are you doing here if you don't guard the yard? The yard is full of maids, and you're not here, I'm afraid the sky will be turned upside down."

Xiang Ru took Sheng Xiuyi and Sheng Xiumu to the Yuanyang Pavilion, told Mrs. Sheng to go back, and told Citron, "It should be said that the son should go back to Jingsheyuan to see his wife, but..."

Citron shot her a sharp look.

Xiang Ru didn't dare to say anything immediately.

Citron poked her forehead lightly, and said in a low voice: "It's still the same temper, dare to say anything nonsense! Just wait, I'll go in and report to Madam."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and entered the East room.

Mrs. Sheng was talking to Kang's mother about the candidate for the third young master's wet nurse: "...Sijin used to be in our courtyard, and she was the most considerate and careful person. She is willing to come in to serve the third young master and has a lot of milk, so let her be her."

Mother Kang smiled and said yes.

Sijin, surnamed Qiao, used to be a maid in Yuanyang Pavilion, and then married Kang's mother's nephew.She gave birth to a daughter not long ago, and now that the milk is good, Mother Kang recommended her to be a wet nurse in the third young master's house.

The wife is in charge of the family, and the third young master's wet nurse is chosen by the wife.

Choosing Qiao Sijin to be the third young master's wet nurse is not only to look good on Sijin, but also to give face to Kang's mother.

After Madam Sheng gave instructions to the wet nurse, she raised her eyes and asked Citron who was standing quietly beside her, "Who is looking for you?" She saw Citron go out just now.

Citron smiled and said, "It's Xiangrui that's here. Shizi and Sanye are waiting for you in Yuanyang Pavilion..."

As soon as Mrs. Sheng heard that Sheng Xiuyi had returned, her face was full of smiles. After thinking about it, she felt something was wrong, and asked Citron: "When you went to the outer courtyard to pay your respects, didn't you say that I was here?"

Citron smiled and said, "The servant said it."

Mrs. Sheng became suspicious, called Xiangru to come in, and asked her what Sheng Xiuyi and Sheng Xiumu were doing in Yuanyang Pavilion, and asked her if she had told them about their brother Dong Yuan's birth.

Xiang Ru said: "Ma'am, the servants are still congratulating the son. They drank tea, but they didn't move. Then the third master asked the servants to invite the wife."

Mrs. Sheng heard some clues.

It seems that she has something to say to her, it is not good to come to Jingsheyuan.

She got up and got off the kang, Citron and Xiangru hurriedly squatted down to help her put on her shoes.

"Stay here and take care of it for a while, if there is anything, tell someone to report to me." Mrs. Sheng got up and told Kang's mother.

Mother Luo and Qiangwei just entered the door and heard Mrs. Sheng's words.

In fact, Mother Luo and Qiangwei were outside just now.They also listened to what Xiang Ru told Mrs. Sheng.She didn't come in until Mrs. Sheng was about to leave.

"Ma'am, Grandma is fine. The third young master was nursed by Qiao's mother. Don't worry after eating twice." Luo's mother said to Mrs. Sheng with a smile.

Mrs. Sheng smiled, and told them to serve carefully, leaving only Mother Kang, who returned to Yuanyang Pavilion with Citron and Citron.

As soon as Mrs. Sheng left, Mama Kang went to Xici Room to see the third young master.

Qiangwei and Luo's mother went into the inner room to look at Dong Yuan.

After the child landed, Dong Yuan knew that Mrs. Sheng was present and would not let the child have anything to do, so he went to sleep with peace of mind.She was so exhausted that she slept until now before waking up.

"What time is it?" She asked Qiangwei.

"It's the second quarter of the Youchu, grandma." Qiangwei replied.

That is to say, it was almost dusk.

She asked Qiangwei: "Has the son not arrived at the mansion yet?"

Qiangwei and Luo's mother looked at each other for a while, not knowing how to answer.

Although Dong Yuan was a little weak, he could see clearly, and asked Qiangwei: "Is something wrong?"

"No." Qiangwei dodged Dong Yuan's eyes, not knowing how to speak.

Mother Luo couldn't bear it, and said in a low voice: "Sister Yuan, the eldest son came back, but he went to the Yuanyang Pavilion of the madam. Citron and Xiangru both told the elder son that you gave birth to a young master, and also told the madam that you were taking pictures in Jingjing. Courtyard... Shizi still went to Yuanyang Pavilion with the third master."

In other words, I don't want to go back to Jingsheyuan.

Dong Yuan was stunned.
