Chapter 201 Standing in Line (3)

Not only Dong Yuan saw the unnatural expression on Juhong's face, Qiangwei and the other big maids also saw it clearly.

Everyone doesn't speak.

As soon as Luo's mother and Ju Hong left, Dong Yuan asked them: "Why do you see Ju Hong, is she not willing to let her go out every month?"

Xunfang and Biqiu came from Mrs. Sheng's side to Dong Yuan's side, and Ju Hong was an old man by Dong Yuan's side. They didn't dare to talk about Ju Hong; Too elevated herself, putting herself in the same position as Ju Hong, Qiangwei and others, she also bowed her head slightly and remained silent.

Qiangwei saw Dong Yuan asking, and saw that everyone was silent, so she opened her mouth and said, "I often hear her mention that my mother-in-law always talks about her and Erzhuang..."

Xunfang didn't want to be the first bird, so Qiangwei spoke before she dared to answer: "I once heard from Sister Juhong that Erzhuang's brother-in-law doesn't like to talk, and she can't talk either. The two of them seldom talk at home. She My mother-in-law always said that sister Ju Hong is clumsy, and she doesn't have a good relationship with brother-in-law Dazhuang like sister Ju Xiang."

Dong Yuan knew about these things early on.

When Ju Hong married, she said that Er Zhuang didn't like to talk, and the two of them rarely communicated.

How come after so long, the problems between the two of them didn't improve, but got worse?
Because of the lack of communication with her husband, the relationship between the two of them is getting weaker and weaker, so is the mother-in-law dissatisfied?

Dong Yuan has been busy with family affairs recently, and lacks concern for the maids around him, and indeed has no energy to take care of Ju Hong's affairs.

Moreover, Dong Yuan felt that, in the end, it was Ju Hong's own marriage, and Dong Yuan couldn't intervene if he wanted to.Things between husband and wife will only become more complicated when others get involved.The relationship between husband and wife cannot be exerted by others.

Only she and Erzhuang can solve it by themselves.

It seems that Tangerine must go out like Juxiang.

However, Qiangwei is going to get married soon, Ju Hong goes out, Ju Xiang is still in confinement, what about her affairs?Thinking of these, Dong Yuan also had a headache.

Qiangwei's marriage was agreed with Laifu at the end of the year, but now it's October.Qiangwei must be married before the twelfth lunar month.

Ju Xiang has just given birth to a daughter, and she can only come in to serve the child at least one year old.

Dong Yuan didn't say anything more, and asked all the maids to help her cut the material, preparing to make some cold-proof small things for others.She was going to make a velvet hat for Mrs. Sheng, a pair of hand guards for Sister Yun, and a close-fitting little mandarin jacket for Sheng Lehao, which she could wear when studying at night.

Mrs. Sheng and Sister Yun's things use less material, but they are worn for eyesight, and the needlework must be exquisite; Sheng Lehao's mandarin jacket is made of a lot of material, but it is worn inside, and does not need exquisite patterns. It's easier.

Dong Yuan first made mandarin jackets for Sheng Lehao.

While cutting the material, the steward of the outer courtyard suddenly came to report, saying that the palace rewarded Mrs. Sheng and Dong Yuan, and it was personally delivered by the empress's servant Kun Ning.

Dong Yuan hurriedly put down the scissors and went to Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion.

Afterwards, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the outer courtyard, received the reward from the empress and empress, and gave the father-in-law some gifts in return.

Back in the inner courtyard, Mrs. Sheng and Dong Yuan asked people to bring in the things that the empress had rewarded them with.

The queen rewarded a lot of things, such as an exquisite squirrel fur hat with dark blue peony flower pattern, which is very suitable for Mrs. Sheng to wear; two brand-new brass pan Chite stoves, which are light and beautiful, and the handles are decorated with rubies. It looks like a butterfly, generous and precious; there are also a few pieces of warm jade and a wishful handle.

"It's all thanks to you." Mrs. Sheng said to Dong Yuan with a smile, "When the weather is cold, the empress thinks of you, so she rewarded these things."

It was indeed because of Dong Yuan, but it was definitely not the kind of sisterly love Mrs. Sheng thought.

Dong Yuan didn't want to argue either, and smiled and picked up a squirrel fur hat and put it on Mrs. Sheng: "Would it be warm if you try this?"

Madam Kang and Citron, who were beside Mrs. Sheng, helped Mrs. Sheng take off the hat on her head and replaced it with this velvet hat.

Just right, not too big or too small, Mrs. Sheng said with a smile: "It's very warm and light. The things in the palace are smarter than what we use."

"Then don't take it off, lest you freeze your head." Dong Yuan laughed, "I just dug out the felt fleece given by my grandmother at home to make a hat for you. Now that I have this, I will make you a protective hat instead." hand."

When Mrs. Sheng heard this, her eyes filled with smiles.She scolded Dong Yuan: "In such a cold day, you worry about everything at home, and you still have to take Brother Cheng with you. Why do you make those things? I don't lack woolen hats here? No need, there are many hats and gauntlets here. I can't use it..."

"Your place is yours, and what I do is mine." Dong Yuan smiled, "Don't dislike it, just do it."

Then without giving Mrs. Sheng a chance to refuse, he asked her again: "I'll take one of this hand stove and give it to my second brother and sister, do you think so?"

"You take them all." Mrs. Sheng said, "Is there no hand stove at home? This is a reward from the empress, you keep it for yourself."

"I also have a lot of these." Dong Yuan smiled, and ordered Citron to wrap up one of the copper hand stoves, and send it to Second Mistress later.

The remaining Nuanyu Dongyuan took one piece, and left the rest to Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng saw that she was really sincere, and she didn't bother to push her back and forth, so she asked Mother Kang to put them away.If I go by myself in the future, these things will still be left to Dong Yuan, but they will be kept for her temporarily, so there is no need to say no to Dong Yuan.

Besides, Dong Yuan's dowry was generous, although these things were expensive, they couldn't catch her eyes.

The empress's reward was nothing more than a reminder to Dong Yuan that it was time to find a reason to go to the palace to visit the empress.With this reward, shouldn't Dong Yuan enter the palace to thank him?
The queen probably still wants to know the latest progress of the crown prince's concubine selection.

Dong Yuan didn't know either.

Back at the Jingsheyuan, Dong Yuan asked Qiangwei to add new charcoal to the hand stove and place it on the kang table in a more obvious place.And she herself continued to sit in the jacket for Sheng Lehao.

When Wanxi Sheng Xiuyi came back, he saw her buried in her needlework, so he asked her what she was doing.

"It's cold, let's make some small things for mother and the children." Dong Yuan replied without raising his head, "Last year I was pregnant with brother Cheng, and I didn't have the energy to do these things, and I was always feeling sorry."

Sheng Xiuyi saw that she kept bowing her head, so she reached out and snatched her needle and thread, and said, "Take a break, isn't your neck sore?"

As soon as he said it, Dong Yuan really felt his neck sore.

She raised her head and shook her neck, thumped the back of her neck lightly a few times, and put down her needle and thread obediently.Then, he took out the hand stove that the Empress Empress had rewarded today and held it in his hand, and asked Sheng Xiuyi, "Is this hand stove good-looking?"

Sheng Xiuyi didn't notice any difference between this hand stove and the one at home.He looked at it and asked, "Who gave it to you? It's just a hand stove. It took so much thought..."

He meant that the decoration of this hand stove was too luxurious, and the engraving was too delicate, which put the cart before the horse.Hand stoves are just for warming your hands, and that's about it.

"Your Majesty rewarded it." Dong Yuan smiled, and told about today's gift from the Empress Empress, and said, "I will hand out the sign tomorrow and go into the palace to thank you."

Sheng Xiuyi immediately understood the Queen's intention, and also understood what Dong Yuan wanted to ask.

He hesitated for a moment before saying: "I'm afraid the crown prince's choice of concubine cannot be settled for the time being..."

Dong Yuan asked: "Didn't you say that His Majesty is very anxious about this matter? Why can't it be settled yet? What do you mean by Your Majesty and the ministers?"

"It's still under discussion." Sheng Xiuyi said, "It has a lot to do with it. I'm just the prince's junior teacher. If His Majesty asks me, I will naturally recommend Miss Xue. It's just..."

Dong Yuan was slightly silent.

"Your Majesty wants to follow the example of the previous court, remove the post of Tai Tuo, and form a cabinet to assist the government..." Sheng Xiuyi said after a while, "Master Xue disagrees. What Mr. Xue means is that every change will inevitably cause turmoil. Your Majesty The health is not good, and the crown prince is young. If your Majesty is a hundred years old, the lord and ministers are suspicious, and the government is unstable. If you withdraw the Grand Tutor and form a cabinet at this time, I'm afraid..."

It turned out that this matter was involved.

Although Dong Yuan doesn't know much about politics, he also understands one thing: reforming the system is very difficult.It is even more difficult when His Majesty is in such a bad health.If His Majesty dies suddenly, the new ruler will have no prestige in front of the veterans, and the situation in the court will be paralyzed.

Xue Laohou has gone through three dynasties, and what he has experienced is not comparable to that of Yuanchang Emperor.

This matter is undecided, the situation in the court and China is unclear, and the choice of the descendants has become more difficult.

But does the empress know this?

Dong Yuan had a headache.

After thinking for a while, she finally said: "I understand. I will tell the empress that you have always stood by the side of the Xue family and obeyed the arrangement of the grandfather. If the grandfather agrees that Sister Rui is the crown princess, you will naturally help; if the grandfather does not Agree, there's nothing you can do about it."

Sheng Xiuyi suddenly looked up at Dong Yuan.

Aren't you afraid of offending the queen?Why are you willing to say such things in front of the queen for him now?
Dong Yuan looked into his eyes, felt moved, and smiled: "Tianhe, what I want is to stand with you instead of relying on you. No matter what the future holds, won't you protect me? Your empress wants Yes, far less than what my grandfather wanted. If the government cannot be stable, what can Sister Rui do if she becomes a princess and queen?"

Seeing the determination on his wife Mingyan's face, Sheng Xiuyi's heart suddenly stirred.

He got up and held Dong Yuan in his arms.

"I always want you to worry less." He murmured, "I'm sorry for not treating you well."

Dong Yuan laughed: "What's the matter? The empress is my cousin, is this also your fault?"

This way of pretending to comfort him easily made Sheng Xiuyi even more grateful.He hugged Dong Yuan tightly, put his head on her shoulder, and whispered to Ah Yuan.

The next day, Dong Yuan went into the palace and told the Queen what he had said.

The empress was a little confused immediately.She didn't quite understand what Dong Yuan meant by this, so she asked Dong Yuan to retreat, and then asked the servant to find out what Old Master Xue was up to recently.

Knowing that Old Master Xue was trying his best to encourage His Majesty to let the eldest granddaughter of Princess Wen Jing become the Crown Princess, the empress was only a mouthful of blood spurting out.

Is grandfather always dizzy?

The second one is delivered, do you have the pink ticket?
