Chapter 205 The House (1)

What happened to Rue Xiang caused Aunt Fan to make a fuss beyond everyone's expectations.

The reason is that Zhilan next to Shao Zitan is getting old, and Shao Zitan thinks that she has served her with all her heart for many years, while Dong Yuan is too busy taking care of Brother Cheng and serving Mrs. Sheng, so she doesn't pay attention to the things around her aunt, so Shao Zitan offered to let Dong Yuan take care of her. Yuan released Zhilan.

Since the servant girl is going to be released, Zhilan can't be the only one.

The maids in other rooms will also be released together.

This is the master's grace to the maids, and it was originally a matter of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds.

But with Aunt Fan being so inexplicably mixed up, this matter became complicated and confusing.Xue Jiangwan secretly wondered what Ruxiang had done.

After thinking about it for a long time, I can only think of Ruxiang's honesty and good relationship with Aunt Fan, the two always talk and laugh, like sisters.

Xue Jiangwan thought again that it was Shao Zitan who proposed the release of the maid, and couldn't help wondering if Shao Zitan was playing some tricks against Aunt Fan.

Xue Jiangwan had no scruples, so he whispered about it to the maid beside him.

So Shao Zitan's intentional words spread.

Shao Zitan was frightened half to death, ran to Dong Yuan and cried, saying that she had absolutely no intention of harming Yunxiang, repeatedly emphasizing that she really just wanted Zhilan to have a good future and hired her while she was young.

Her crying, in the eyes of the maids around Dong Yuan, it seems that there is no silver 300 taels here.

Mother Luo even asked Dong Yuan: "You said, did Aunt Shao do it on purpose?"

Dong Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom also follows others? Doing it on purpose, there must always be motives and interests. Aunt Fan and Aunt Shao don't compete for favor, nor do they compete for heirs and family property. What kind of enmity can there be between them? Even if there is enmity, there is no need to fight Come to me. If it is exposed, what good will it do for Aunt Shao? She always flatters me, just wanting me to find a good marriage for the young lady, so that she will not discredit the young lady when she is not married. "

Mother Luo thought about it, what Dong Yuan said was indeed reasonable.

Shao Zitan should have no possibility of causing trouble now.

But what happened to Ruexiang?

Not only Luo's mother, Dong Yuan himself was also at a loss.How did Yunxiang and Aunt Fan offend Sheng Xiuyi, Sheng Xiuyi didn't want to talk about it.

In spite of Dong Yuan's face, Sheng Xiuyi took over Dong Yuan to manage the inner house, and he didn't intend to apologize.Dong Yuan naturally wouldn't wrong herself to please him.

When two people get along, although they can't always be unreasonable, they can't be servile.

Dong Yuan will not make trouble unreasonably, but will fight with reason.When you live as a couple, if you tolerate unconditionally, you will only make the other person get used to it time and time again.

In the end, no matter what happens, the one who compromises is always you.

Once you get used to compromise, it is a lifetime of compromise.

"I look at the maidservants around my aunts, and Rue Xiang is the first one who is honest and sincere." Mama Luo sighed again, "Sister Yuan, did you say why you want to get rid of Rue Xiang?"

Dong Yuan was having a headache. Hearing Mother Luo's question, he looked at her weakly, and said with a wry smile: "Mom, didn't you really see that I was frowning? The Master Shizi dismissed my treatment of Ruxiang without even saying anything. Rue Xiang was kicked out without mentioning the reason. I also want to know why, so please don’t ask me again.”

Luo's mother hurriedly apologized and smiled: "Mom is getting old, her mouth is broken..."

After a pause, she still couldn't help but said, "Sister Yuan, you won't be angry with the Shizi, are you? Oh, men are meant to be coaxed, Sister Yuan..."

Dong Yuan couldn't stand Mother Luo's thoughts, so she got up and went to Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng also heard about Rue Xiang.

It's just that the outside version is different from the Jingsheyuan's.

What Mrs. Sheng heard was that Dong Yuan had promised to keep Yun Xiang to serve Aunt Fan in the morning, but at night, someone suddenly drove Yun Xiang away.

"I shouldn't have asked about the matter in your yard." Mrs. Sheng said, "It's just why the trouble started? I heard that Auntie Fan almost got into a fight with the steward. Ah Yuan, Mother knows you are kind-hearted, but she can't." I always let my aunts make nonsense, and the jokes go to the outer court."

Even though he said the same thing, the way Mrs. Sheng spoke made Dong Yuan's heart warm.

Although she blamed Dong Yuan for not handling this matter well, she showed her concern for Dong Yuan in every sentence.

The meaning is also to the point.

Dong Yuan is not easy to defend.

The matter Sheng Xiuyi did made Dong Yuan a little bit dumb and painful to eat coptis.She really didn't know how to explain it.

Said that Sheng Xiuyi disregarded her decision and acted without authorization?
Husband does not care about her decency, is she glorious?So she will never mention this.

Said that she was capricious in her own affairs?That can only show that she is incompetent and will weaken her prestige in the hearts of the servants.

Anyway, it couldn't be explained, Dong Yuan smiled helplessly, and said to Mrs. Sheng: "Mother, I won't do this again next time. Regarding Aunt Fan's matter, I will discipline her well in the future."

Mrs. Sheng nodded slightly, but did not ask what was going on.

In this way, Ruexiang was sent away inexplicably.

Dong Yuan also started a cold war with Sheng Xiuyi.

Sheng Xiuyi seemed like nothing had happened, he came back every day as usual, but he didn't mention anything about Aunt Fan.Dong Yuan was also very indifferent to him, the two of them seemed like strangers, only having simple conversations.

As for Sheng Xiuyi, he still didn't intend to explain, leaving Dong Yuan speechless.

What is the unspeakable secret in his heart? As the days passed, Dong Yuan became more and more curious.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of October, Madam Sheng asked Dong Yuan: "What happened to the matter that Mother mentioned to you last time?"

Dong Yuan was stunned, and only remembered something after a while.Last time when she told Yun Xiang and others to go out, Mrs. Sheng said she asked Dong Yuan to choose two of the maids around her to be housemaids for the young master Sheng Lehao.

Because of the matter between Aunt Fan and Rue Xiang, Dong Yuan actually forgot about it.

She smiled awkwardly: "Mom, I..."

"Did you forget?" Mrs. Sheng smiled gently.As expected.

Dong Yuan nodded, embarrassed and said: "I'll do it when I get back."

Dong Yuan didn't quibble or lie, which made Madam Sheng quite satisfied.Anyone can see that she forgot.Mrs. Sheng was very relieved that she didn't make excuses, and said with a smile: "There is no rush, you choose slowly. The character of a child is the most important thing, but the appearance is second..."

Dong Yuan felt a little conflicted about this matter, so he still nodded vaguely.

Back at Jingsheyuan, Dong Yuan felt a little embarrassed.

She sent everyone else out, leaving only mother Luo, Ju Hong and Qiangwei by her side, and told them what Mrs. Sheng meant.

To Dong Yuan's surprise, the three of them nodded calmly, and helped Dong Yuan come up with ideas on which maid to choose.

It was only then that Dong Yuan realized that in the eyes of people of this age, for young masters of a rich family like the Sheng family, at this age, it is extremely common for young masters to choose maids for the house.

It's just that she is so weird alone.

"Yugui is not bad." Qiangwei recommended to Dong Yuan, "Although she is a rough servant girl, she acts in a safe manner. I still want to introduce her to the eldest grandma and make her a second-class maid in a few days. She is 15 years old this year. The young master is quite suitable."

Mother Luo and Ju Hong also nodded in agreement.

They all obviously knew Yugui.

Dong Yuan didn't know him.

She still didn't pay much attention to this matter, when Qiangwei mentioned it, she said, "Yugui counts as one..."

Afterwards, Mother Luo and Ju Hong each named a few maids, and they gathered four third-class maids in total for Dong Yuan to choose.

One is called Yugui, one is called Pearl, one is called Baoshan, and the other is called Jinse.

Dong Yuan was not enthusiastic enough about it, and said: "I'll take a look tomorrow."

With that said, he went to brother Cheng's place.

After hugging Brother Huicheng, he took out his needle and thread to make handguards for Sheng Leyun.This gauntlet Dong Yuan has spent a lot of effort in making it exquisite, and it is about to be finished.

In the afternoon, the gauntlet was ready, and Mama Luo and others praised her female celebrity for her progress.

In the afternoon, the aunts came to greet Dong Yuan.The four former aunts, now Aunt Tao is sent out, and Aunt Fan is grounded, only Xue Jiangwan and Shao Zitan are in front of them.

The two looked cautious, as if they had become frightened birds.

Xue Jiangwan used to be very gossip, but now he doesn't dare to ask Yun Xiang what's going on, he just discusses it in private.

Not long after the aunts left, brothers and sisters Sheng Lehao ​​and Sheng Leyun came to greet Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan gave the gauntlet to Sheng Leyun.

Sheng Leyun liked it very much, said a lot of grateful words, and said: "Mother's needlework is really good, much better than me. Can I learn needlework from my mother in the future?"

This is the initiative to get close to her.

Too much intimacy will destroy each other's goodwill.

Dong Yuan is really not sure that he can be a good mother.

It's too difficult to be a mother, especially if the other party is not my own daughter.She had no choice but to refuse, and said with a smile: "Sister Yun, you must pay close attention to your needlework. Learning needlework from your mother will only delay you..."

Need to hurry up with needlework, that is to say, she is about to get married, and she has to hurry up to finish the needlework and sew the dowry for herself.

Sheng Leyun understood, her cheeks were flushed, but she didn't say anything, just said yes in a low voice.

Dong Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

Sheng Lehao ​​has been listening quietly, with gentle eyes.

Dong Yuan thought of what Mrs. Sheng explained, and seeing such a young child, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

The crown prince is only ten years old and is about to get married; Sheng Lehao ​​is already thirteen, so it is absolutely reasonable in this age to give him two roommates.

Dong Yuan thought about it, and said to Sheng Leyun: "Sister Yun, mother has something to say with your brother, you should go back first."

Sheng Leyun didn't think much, and got up to leave.

She didn't look like a little girl, asking what was going on ignorantly.

It's not that Dong Yuan doesn't want to treat them as ignorant children, it's just that they themselves, under the influence of this age, have already grown beyond Dong Yuan's cognition.

They are people of this age, and they follow the upbringing of this age.

11-year-old Sheng Leyun never treats herself as a little girl.

Sheng Lehao ​​didn't expect Dong Yuan to keep him.He looked at Dong Yuan, and asked a little bit in his eyes: "What do you want mother to do?"

Dong Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Brother Hao, the wisteria beside you will be released when you get older. Mother has re-selected two servants for you. But, mother doesn't know what you think."

"Mother, please tell me." Sheng Lehao ​​was at a loss.
