Chapter 203 Intimate Love (2)

It's making shoes again.

Ever since Aunt Tao left, Shao Zitan was so courteous that Dong Yuan didn't know what to do with her.

In the past six months, Dong Yuan refused to let Sheng Xiuyi go to his aunts, and Xue Jiangwan would complain; Aunt Fan would despise Dong Yuan and speak ill of her behind her back; only Shao Zitan didn't have a single complaint, and often gave Dong Yuan and brother Cheng My son makes shoes and socks, and is very attentive.

Dong Yuan told her not to do it anymore, she was so frightened that her nose burst into tears, and she cried heartbroken, as if Dong Yuan wanted to drive her away too.

Now, watching her make two pairs of beam shoes for Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi, especially Dong Yuan's, which are as exquisite as works of art, Dong Yuan feels very helpless.

"Aunt Shao is bothering you." Dong Yuan said lightly, "I also have people who make shoes here, so you don't have to work hard, don't do this next time."

Shao Zitan listened and said yes softly.

She will do it next time.Every time I talk about her, I respectfully agree, but next time I will do the same.

Aunt Fan was amused by Shao Zitan's ostentatious appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle.But the room was extremely quiet, her laughter was clear and abrupt, and she hurriedly coughed to cover it up.

"Aunt Fan, are you suffering from a cold?" Dong Yuan asked her, looking back.

Aunt Fan hurriedly coughed a few more times on purpose, and said: "It's quite cold these days, the concubine has indeed suffered from some wind and cold..."

"Then you have a good rest, you don't need to come over to say hello for half a month." Dong Yuan said.

The aunts are not allowed to go out, and they hang out with other aunts on weekdays, and the most important thing is to pay their respects to the mistress.Telling Aunt Fan not to pay her respects is tantamount to grounding her.

Shao Zitan and Xue Jiangwan both lowered their heads and smiled.

Aunt Fan has always been lonely and brave.The eldest son doesn't like her, and everyone in the Sheng family knows it.And she neither flatters the eldest son nor the eldest grandma, which is indeed unbelievable.

Xue Jiangwan always felt that there was something wrong with Aunt Fan's mind.

Besides, they went in and out of a small courtyard on weekdays, and Aunt Fan bullied Shao Zitan and Xue Jiangwan a lot, and they didn't like Aunt Fan either.

Aunt Fan listened to Dong Yuan's words with a smile on her face.As if Dong Yuan had given her great honor, she stepped forward to salute Shi Shiran, and said in a cheerful voice, "Thank you, Grandma, for your kindness."

Dong Yuan was also quite speechless.

It's useless to beat Aunt Fan.

People say that if you don't have desires, you can be strong.Aunt Fan seemed to have no desire for the Sheng family, so whether Dong Yuan ignored her or beat her, she didn't care, she still went her own way.

But openly mocking other aunts like this must be punished.

Although this punishment has no effect.

Dong Yuan didn't say anything more, brought tea and told them all to go back.

Aunt Fan got up and left first; Xue Jiangwan followed behind Aunt Fan.Shao Zitan has always been unfaithful around Dong Yuan, but this time he was a step behind, stepped forward to salute Dong Yuan, and then whispered: "Grandma, I have something to ask Grandma."

I didn't say it just now, but I mentioned it now, it must be to tell Dong Yuan alone, and I don't want to be heard by other aunts.

Dong Yuan nodded slightly.

Xue Jiangwan paused, wanting to hear what Shao Zitan had to say before leaving.But Aunt Fan didn't look back, Xue Jiangwan remembered Dong Yuan's attitude just now, and didn't dare to stay any longer, and left unwillingly.

Only then did Dong Yuan ask Shao Zitan what was the matter.

"Grandma, Zhilan who is next to this servant has turned 20 years old. She has been by this servant's side for many years, and she has devoted herself to serving this servant. This servant wants to ask Grandma for a favor and let her go out to be a match." Shao Zitan said softly.

That's right.

The maids in the family are getting old, so they should be released to make a match.

Although they were only released at the age of 25, but when they were around 20 years old, as long as they were not punished, the masters would release them while they were young, and it would not be in vain for them to serve them.

This is also to tell the other younger maids that as long as they do things well, they will naturally not embarrass them, and they will definitely be given grace to go back earlier to find a good home.

"I know it well." Dong Yuan smiled.

Shao Zitan didn't dare to ask any more questions, and said yes in a low voice, ready to leave and leave.

"Aunt Shao." Dong Yuan called to her.

Shao Zitan hurriedly stopped and stood aside respectfully.

"In the future, you don't need to make shoes for me and Shi Ziye. If you need it, I will call you." Dong Yuan's voice was not smiling this time, "If you do something wrong, even if you make shoes for me every day, I will I will punish you as usual. Do you understand?"

That is to say, her making shoes does not mean that Dong Yuan will regard her as one of his own.

Shao Zitan's body trembled, and it took him a while to say yes weakly.

"The clothes, shoes and socks at home are all made to order. You are not the one who makes shoes for us, so you don't have to worry about it." Seeing her like this, Dong Yuan couldn't bear to think that she had always been honest, and added.

Hearing these words, Shao Zitan straightened up slightly, and hurriedly said yes.

After she left, Dong Yuan called Qiangwei, Xunfang, and Biqiu to come in, and asked them to count, among the aunts, Sheng Lehao, Sheng Leyun, and the maids in Jingsheyuan, who were over 20 years old Yes, I plan to release them at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and buy a batch of maids next spring to make up for them.

Qiangwei, Xunfang, and Biqiu were ordered, and the three left one after another.

Yaotao, Juhong, and Mother Luo were still serving by her side, and Dongyuan still took out needles and thread to make handguards for Sheng Leyun.

Before doing a few injections, Sheng Lehao ​​and Sheng Leyun came to greet Dong Yuan.

Sheng Lehao ​​was wearing a bluestone-colored squirrel cloak, a sapphire blue quilted jacket inside the cloak, a dark blue straight jacket, and powder-soled soap boots. His facial features looked more and more like Sheng Xiuyi.Compared to when Dong Yuan first entered the door, he has grown a lot taller, but he is still very thin.

Boys of this age are growing, so they are thin and thin.

He respectfully saluted Dong Yuan and called his mother.

Sheng Leyun was wearing a big red tapestry cloak, a pink Ruyi cloud pattern cross-collared long jacket, an official green brocade skirt, a double bun on her hair, and four pearl flowers.She looks like Shao Zitan, her appearance is not gorgeous enough, but she is honest and amiable.

Dong Yuan asked Sheng Leyun to sit beside him, and Sheng Lehao ​​sat on the grand teacher's chair beside him.

Then he called Mother Luo to come in and asked her to take out the mandarin jacket she made for Sheng Lehao ​​and give it to him.

When Sheng Lehao ​​heard that he had clothes for him, he immediately stood up and bowed to Dong Yuan: "Thank you, mother."

Dong Yuan smiled.

Mother Luo came out after a while, handed the clothes to Sheng Lehao, and said with a smile: "Master, this is sewn by Grandma herself. The best felt is the best for keeping out the cold. Although the leather is a bit heavy, but you Dressed for studying at night, it is not cold at all."

Sheng Lehao ​​didn't expect that Dong Yuan made it himself, so he took it in his hand in a daze.Looking at the fine stitches, he couldn't help but feel moved.

If it is said that this is the stepmother's fawning on the child, Sheng Lehao ​​also feels that this kind of fawning is very warm.

He didn't have any aversion to such flattery, on the contrary, he enjoyed it very much.

He bowed deeply to Dong Yuan again, and said, "Thank you, mother!"

Four simple words, but very powerful.Compared with the politeness just now, his gratitude now comes from the heart.

Dong Yuan smiled and said: "You didn't do well, you just take it as your mother's wish, don't dislike it." Then without waiting for Sheng Lehao ​​to speak, he took Sheng Leyun's hand and said, "Mother is also going to protect you It’s just that your brother’s mandarin jacket has been rushed recently, and yours hasn’t been finished yet, so you have to wait for a few days.”

Sheng Leyun was pleasantly surprised: "I have it too?"

"Of course." Dong Yuan blinked and smiled.

Sheng Leyun smiled and said joyfully, "Thank you, mother."

In fact, she should have a lot of gauntlets, but she was still so happy when she heard that Dong Yuan made them for her, which made Dong Yuan feel that the child knew how to be grateful.

In this way, Dong Yuan actually had the feeling of motherly kindness and filial piety towards them.

Thoughts flashed by, Dong Yuan looked at them and smiled slightly.

After the two children sat for a while, Dong Yuan let them go back.

In the middle of the afternoon, Qiangwei, Xunfang and Biqiu came back one after another, telling Dong Yuan what was going on in their yards.

"Zhilan by Aunt Shao's side, Ruexiang by Aunt Fan's side, and wisteria by Eldest Young Master's are all full twenty." Qiangwei told Dong Yuan.

"The wisterias and asters around the young master were all rewarded by my wife..." Dong Yuan pondered slightly, "I will ask my wife tomorrow."

The next day, he went to greet Madam Sheng, and Dong Yuan told Madam Sheng about this matter.

Mrs. Sheng called Mama Kang over, and asked Mama Kang, "The wisteria is over twenty, isn't Ziyuan not too young?"

Mother Kang laughed and said, "Ziyuan is more than a year younger than Wisteria..."

Mrs. Sheng caressed her forehead, smiled at Dong Yuan: "I thought they were about the same age. In that case, Zi Yuan will stay for a few years, and she will take care of the affairs of Brother Hao's yard, so you don't have to worry about it. Let Zi Teng go out." Bar."

Dong Yuan said yes.

Mrs. Sheng paused, and then said: "Choose two servants for Brother Hao, from among the capable maidservants around you. It's best to be younger than fifteen and look neat. If there are good ones, bring them first. Let me see..."

Dong Yuan was slightly stunned, and then came to his senses.

This... Is this going to select a house girl for Sheng Lehao?

That kid is only 13 years old.

Seeing Dong Yuan's slightly surprised expression, Mrs. Sheng knew that she understood, and laughed: "I told Hou Ye about Brother Hao's marriage. What Hou Ye meant was that he should get his merits first before we talk about marriage."

Then he sighed again, "Where is it so easy to test for fame? So I first thought about choosing two girls who know the cold and the hot to put in the room. If you didn't say this, I should have mentioned it to you after the new year." .Since you said it, let's do it together."

Dong Yuan couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

Letting go of the house maid now, will it delay the child's study?

Aren't you just sensitive to this when you were a teenager?

But Mrs. Sheng said it, and Dong Yuan couldn't refute it.This is a conflict of ideas. If she raises objections, she will think that she has some perverted ideas and doesn't care about Sheng Lehao.

A stepmother should behave like a stepmother.

Dong Yuan said yes.

After she returned to the Jingsheyuan, she ordered Qiangwei to tell Aunt Shao and Aunt Fan the news, and at the same time took out a needle and thread to make hand guards for Sheng Leyu.

After a few moves, I heard a maid outside say that Aunt Fan is here.

The maid's voice fell slightly, and Aunt Fan rushed in hastily.
