Chapter 138 Unkind and Unfilial (2)

Mama Yang was talking to Mama Luo during Dongci, Dong Yuan in the inner room heard her visit.After a while, a woman wearing a light green short-padded blouse and a light red thread skirt came out and said to Mama Yang with a smile, "Mom, grandma, please talk inside."

It is the rose beside Dong Yuan.

It's only been a year since I saw her, and her behavior has become more and more standard.

Yang's mother almost didn't recognize it, she just felt that the figure was elegant, like a thin flower and thin jade, with a powdery fragrance, vaguely like a small household jasper.Seeing that it was Qiangwei, he greeted her with a smile: "The girl is more tidy than before."

Qiangwei smiled, Sushou raised the felt curtain for Mama Yang, and Mama Luo accompanied her in.

When Mama Yang entered the inner room, she smelled rosemary lit in the bronze censer.Entering the door is a twelve screens of yellow pear wood embroidered with light flowers, weak willows, and misty and rainy boats in the south of the Yangtze River; passing around the screen, there is a curtain embroidered with rich and noble peonies hanging behind the screen, and the golden curtain hook hooks the curtain. There are assorted boxes, all kinds of antiques and a few new gadgets.

Bypassing the assorted scorpion, the main room of Dongyuan's inner room is found.The whole set of golden nanmu furniture, with half a window open, can smell the fragrance of peach stamens outside the window and the breath of the sun on the green grass.On the side of the board wall on the big kang near the window, there are four large silver-red embroidered crabapple pillows, and a row of Taishi chairs along the kang are covered with the same color and color of the same color.

In the southwestern corner stood a few cabinets that passed the silver corner, half a person's height, and on the top of the cabinets were placed crystal fruit bowls, filled with fashionable fruits and snacks.

A chiming clock ticks.

A few little maidservants held their breaths and stood aside to serve.

The potted twigs of the money orange tree in the corner were bent into the shape of an old pine by the gardener, and new buds sprouted, and the tender green leaves are pleasing to the heart.

On Babu's bed was a moon-white veil of caterpillar fungus and clouds of smoke, and Dong Yuan was wearing a half-new silver-red thin satin jacket and a snow fox fur hat, reclining on a large black pillow embroidered with blessings, longevity and health patterns.

Her face is fair and clean, her smile is gentle, she is plump compared to when she was a girl, her skin is plump, her eyes are brighter and clearer, and her eyes are full of beauty.

Mother Yang knelt down and kowtowed to Dong Yuan: "Congratulations to the eldest grandma on the birth of a son, and my maidservant pays respects to the eldest grandma."

Dong Yuan laughed softly: "Mum doesn't have to be like this, help her up quickly."

A few little maids came to help her, but Mama Yang kowtowed her head three times, and then stood up with the little maids' hands.

Qiangwei brought the tea in with her own hands, and asked the little maid to move the brocade bamboo to sit on for Mama Yang, and served the tea to her.

Mother Yang took the tea, and even said a few times that I am tired, and then half sat on the brocade stick.

Qiangwei glanced at Dong Yuan, and seeing Dong Yuan nodded slightly, she led the waiters in the room, leaving only Mama Yang talking to her, and Mama Luo serving at the side.

"Mom is here, but mother has something to tell me?" Dong Yuan didn't beat around the bush, and asked Yang's mother straight to the point.

Mother Yang was taken aback, she probably didn't expect Dong Yuan to be so direct.Fifth Madam Yang came to see Dong Yuan this morning, was so angry at what Dong Yuan said, and returned to the mansion to cry with Fifth Master for a long while.

Fifth master Xue Ziming was also very angry, scolding Dong Yuan for being unfilial at home, and even wanted to ask Dong Yuan about his crime of disobedience.

It was Yang's mother and Bi Tao and Bi Liu in the yard who persuaded him hard.

Finally, Mama Yang was sent.

Mother Yang dare not learn Fifth Madam's domineering words.She had already thought up her speech along the way, so as to convey the meaning of the fifth lady clearly without angering Grandma Jiu.

Grandma Jiugu is still in confinement, so she should not be able to see guests.Helplessly, the fifth lady didn't care about it at all, and rushed to see Grandma Jiugu in person.Jiugu's grandma is a daughter, and she didn't dare to stop her aunt from the door when she was confinement, so she met her.

Who knew that it would be best to be scolded by the fifth lady, which made her angry.

There is nothing to say out of anger.If the anger is good or bad, the old lady and the Sheng family will definitely not spare the fifth lady and Yang's mother lightly.

But Mother Yang dared not not come.Asking the maids serving in the house to come, on the one hand, Xue Dongyuan was treated lightly, and on the other hand, Mother Yang was worried that they could speak clearly.

So since she came to the door today, she has been anxious and uneasy, thinking about how to open her mouth to bring the topic to the fifth lady's visit in the morning.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Jiugu spoke happily.

Dong Yuan asked directly, and Yang's mother saved some drowsiness, and smiled: "Madam asked the servants to bring some tonics to my aunt. What do you want to tell? My aunt is serious."

Dong Yuan listened, and smiled slightly, thinking that this old lady is very good at talking, better than her stepmother Yang.She asked: "Mom, mother came over in the morning, grandma doesn't know you are coming now, right?"

Mother Yang was stunned again, she didn't dare to lie, and said: "The old lady doesn't know, aunt. The old lady has recently spared the lady's morning and evening sleep. The lady and the servants go out, and they dare not disturb the old lady to know."

The old lady spared the fifth lady's morning and evening peace?
Dong Yuan could tell that Yang's mother meant that the fifth lady was very angry with the old lady, and that the old lady forbade the fifth lady to go to Rongde Pavilion again.The fifth lady couldn't intercede with the old lady, so she had to come to Dong Yuan.

Such a fifth wife with sisters-in-law, children, and aunt, the old lady really couldn't restrain her feet.If she is grounded, her prestige will be lost in the future, and she will not be able to subdue everyone. Could it be that the old lady manages the affairs of Wu Ye's room in person?

I can't stop the Fifth Madam's feet, but she is not allowed to go to Rongde Pavilion again, lest the old lady will get bored looking at it.It's like the old lady's temper.

Dong Yuan nodded slightly.

She said: "Since my mother has nothing to say, let my mother tell me. I want to ask my mother, what did Miss Twelve say to the young master of the Chen family?"

"It's the meaning of the old lady." Yang's mother's smile became forced, "It is said that the young master of the Chen family is a young talent, and after the spring is about to pass, if he wins a Jinshi, he will get married within this year; if not, he will wait for three years, and wait for Master Chen to go to high school. Make a marriage contract first."

Dong Yuan nodded, motioning for her to continue.

"Miss Twelfth said that the young master of the Chen family once wanted to marry Grandma Wugu, but she gave up because she didn't want to. Now she told Miss Twelve. Miss Twelve felt that she picked up what Grandma Wu left behind. Not happy." Yang's mother said softly, holding the teacup in her hand, not daring to drink, "The old lady said that the young master of the Chen family and the fifth aunt's grandma didn't get along, so she gave up. It's not something left behind! Miss Twelve doesn't believe it, so tell me in person. I contradicted the old lady a few words."

After all, she glanced at Dong Yuan uneasily.

Dong Yuan's face darkened slightly.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mama Yang continued, "It just so happened that the old Hou Ye came back and the old Hou Ye got angry and wanted to send Miss Twelfth to the family temple. Fifth Lord and Fifth Madam begged for mercy, but it was useless. The old lady finally persuaded her. Old Hou Ye, let Miss Twelve be confined for three months."

Dong Yuan was speechless for a long time.

The inner room was so quiet that one could even hear the chirping of the sparrows in the cage under the eaves.

Mother Yang just wanted to tell Xue Donglin to the Chen family, but she didn't say why she suddenly wanted to marry Xue Donglin.According to the old lady's temper, knowing that the fifth lady has such an indistinct temper, how could she take care of her daughter's marriage?
As long as it is not outrageous, the old lady will turn a blind eye.

And the Fifth Madam married Gao Zhipan on behalf of Xue Donglin.This alone will not lose the face of Zhenxianhou Mansion.

If Sheng Xiuyi's matter hadn't been involved, the old lady probably wouldn't have cared about Xue Donglin, lest at this age, she would be angry with her son-in-law and that naive granddaughter.

Dong Yuan guessed that it should be related to what Fifth Madam said about Sheng Xiuyi in the morning.

She still didn't understand what the fifth lady wanted to say.

If he just scolded Dong Yuan just to vent his anger, he also scolded Dong Yuan in the morning, why did he call this mother over?

She kept her composure and continued to wait for Mama Yang to continue.

Mother Yang saw that Dong Yuan didn't answer a word, but she hadn't gotten to the point yet, so she couldn't stop talking.If you don't explain it clearly, it's not easy to do business when you go back, so you don't dare to hide it, paused for a while, and said: "There is a saying, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

If you shouldn't say it, you shouldn't ask this question.Dong Yuan thought in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Mom, but it's okay to say."

"As the old lady said, she is getting old, so she didn't want to worry about Miss Twelfth's marriage over Lord Fifth and Mrs. Fifth. It was only a few days ago that Miss Twelfth made a joke, and the old lady remembered what happened earlier. Say hello to her." Mother Yang said in a low voice, and after she finished speaking, she glanced at Dong Yuan to test her reaction.

Sure enough, Dong Yuan frowned slightly, and asked, "Is Miss Lin being naughty again?"

Regarding why Xue Donglin was said to be a relative, it is considered to be the matter that Grandma Jiu is most concerned about, right?

Mother Yang thought about it, and finally she felt a little relieved. Dong Yuan listened to Mother Yang's words alone in such a silent manner, which made Mother Yang hold her breath.

Now that she was breathing, Mother Yang's expression relaxed a bit, and she said in a low voice: "It's not naughty at all. Mrs. Xiang's daughter and Ji Li have invited the Fifth Madam and Miss Twelfth to be guests. There are also several other daughters at the same place. Joking. Princess Hexu’s daughter also went. When she talked about Young Master Ninth, she probably said that Young Master Ninth’s trip to the Northwest was not worthy of the name. Miss Twelve was so angry that she started to fight with her. Princess Hexu has the most unruly temper. Came here to protect my daughter's shortcomings, and the old lady found out about it."

It was very cryptic.

Xue Donglin spoke well of Sheng Xiuyi in public, maybe she also said something that shouldn't be said, and even made people see some clues, right?
The old lady is afraid that if this drags on, sooner or later the Xue family's reputation will be ruined.Discipline is no longer possible, after all, she is already old.Better to get married early.After leaving the cabinet, he will always be more sensible, and those muddled thoughts will be forgotten.

Dong Yuan gradually understood what Yang's plan was, and also understood the purpose of Yang's mother's trip, she couldn't help but laugh.
