Chapter 217 Dislike
On New Year's Eve, everyone from the Sheng family gathered in Yuanyang Pavilion for the New Year's Eve.

This year, Sheng Changhou was in a particularly good mood, and brother Cheng's laughter was particularly loud. The third master Sheng Xiumu also put away his recent hesitation, and talked about interesting things outside with a happy face.

His words were quite funny. At first, everyone secretly looked at Sheng Changhou's face and didn't dare to laugh, but they found that there was a little smile on Sheng Changhou's brows, and even scolded the third master with a smile: "...you are a poor listener!"

Then he personally added the anecdote that the third master had heard.

When he said it, everyone dared not stop laughing, and then the third master answered again, and everyone laughed in agreement.

Not only the third master, but even Sheng Xiuyi and the second master Sheng Xiuhai were forced to tell several jokes for everyone to laugh at.The second master Sheng Xiuhai still couldn't let go of his hands and feet in front of Sheng Changhou, and was a little timid, so the third master yelled: "We have heard what the second brother said a long time ago, and we will punish the second brother three cups!"

Mrs. Sheng knew that Shengchanghou didn't like the second master the most, and being reminded by the third master like this, maybe Shengchanghou would scold the second master a few words.

At that time, the good atmosphere was gone again.

She hurriedly winked at the third master, and then looked at Shengchanghou.

Seeing Sheng Changhou raised his eyebrows slightly, he said calmly: "Since you know how to distinguish between good and bad, why don't you be a command officer. Anyone who says something bad will be punished."

This was said to the third master Sheng Xiumu.

Everyone was shocked again.No one expected that Sheng Changhou would speak like this.

In their memory, Sheng Changhou never exaggerated the atmosphere, he would only make the family break up.In the past, he was a little moody, and sometimes when he said something that was wrong, he would immediately explode into cursing.

It's really different now.

Is it because of Brother Cheng in his arms?
Brother Cheng might be a little tired, yawning from time to time in Shengchanghou's arms.Mama Joe, the Nurse, tried to hold him, and he burst into tears at once.

Sheng Changhou only let him hold him in his arms.

The third master was equally astonished when he heard Sheng Changhou's words.But looking at Shengchanghou's face, he didn't seem to be talking ironically, so he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be a commanding officer. Why don't you take out the peach blossom wine that was sent from the Huainan village in the spring of the previous year, and whoever says something wrong will be punished." How's the wine?"

The Sheng family has many Zhuangzi in Anhui.

Huainan is famous for its peach blossom wine, and the stewards in the village are the best at dealing with people.He promised that he didn't need the wine shop to make money, and he also gave away a lot of expensive things, so he got the secret recipe of the best local wine shop, made peach blossom wine and sent it up every year.

The rain of the year before last was a coincidence, and the materials used were rare in decades, and thirty altars were brewed.

Marquis Shengchang also loves wine. After tasting it, he felt that the wine was already top-grade, and he could not find it, so he asked people to store it in the cellar, and only brought it out to drink when there were important weddings.

During the Chinese New Year last year, two altars were moved out, and the third master always recalled that it was delicious.But he didn't dare to make up his mind about Sheng Changhou's things, that is, he just glanced greedily when he happened to pass by Mrs. Sheng's storage room.

It was an abnormally good mood to see Sheng Changhou today.The third master didn't know when his father would be in such a mood next time, so he decided to ask for the wine immediately.

Mrs. Sheng secretly gave him a wink, telling him not to annoy Sheng Changhou.

Sheng Xiuyi and the second master Sheng Xiuyi were watching the fun from the sidelines.

They also relished the deliciousness of the wine, but they dared not ask for it openly.Now that the third master has spoken, their brothers also want to get rich.

Sheng Changhou glanced at the third master, hesitated for a moment before saying: "No, next year you marry a wife, I plan to use it to entertain guests. Drink it now, then there will be no good wine, how can I entertain guests?"

"Stay in the third master to marry a daughter-in-law to drink..." Second Mistress couldn't help laughing, "Third master, you have to bear with it, and you will be able to drink it in March next year."

The others laughed too.

Mrs. Sheng also teased the third master: "Don't mess around, your father is the one who has the foresight. It is serious business for you to marry a wife."

The third master suddenly became uncomfortable, and coughed to change the subject.

Everyone laughed again.

If time went back half a year ago, no one in the Sheng family would have dared to imagine that Sheng Changhou would make fun of the third master, and no one would have thought that he would be able to joke with Shengchanghou Shou Sui tonight.

Dong Yuan also laughed.Her eyes fell on Brother Cheng from time to time.He nestled in Shengchanghou's arms, opening and closing his eyes for a while, he looked like a sleepy person, trying hard not to fall asleep.

He also shook his head slightly, as if to wake himself up.

Seeing this scene, Dong Yuan seemed to be his own illusion.Such a small child, why does he want to control his drowsiness?Don't children always sleep when they want to sleep?

Brother Cheng saw his mother through the crowd.

He opened his mouth and smiled at Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan's heart suddenly softened.

This kid is truly astonishing.

Then he rolled his eyes again and laughed.Dong Yuan followed his gaze and saw Sheng Xiuyi's eldest son, Sheng Lehao, looking at Brother Cheng.

Brother Cheng found Sheng Lehao ​​looking at him, so he smiled at him.

Sheng Lehao ​​was stunned, and took a moment to look away.

Then, the third master forced everyone to say something interesting, and Dong Yuan's attention was diverted from the children.

But the two girls sitting together, Sheng Leyun and Sheng Lehui, seemed to have noticed the difference between Brother Cheng.The two looked at Brother Cheng, pointing and whispering.

Mrs. Sheng noticed it, and asked Sheng Leyun and Sheng Lehui: "Sister Yun, Sister Hui, what are you looking at?"

Everyone's attention turned to Sheng Leyun and Sheng Lehui.

Sheng Leyun is not used to everyone's stares, she blushed slightly, pointed at Brother Cheng and blurted out: "Brother Cheng... Brother Cheng, he is sleepy, he...he hasn't slept yet..."

The two sisters also saw Cheng's abnormality.

Brother Cheng's eyes widened, as if he was denying Sheng Leyun's words and proving to everyone that he was not sleepy at all.

Dong Yuan, who had been paying attention to Brother Cheng, felt a thump in his heart.

Her premonition about Brother Cheng is getting stronger and stronger.

But the way he stares is very endearing.

Mrs. Sheng was extremely rare: "Look, Brother Cheng is in high spirits. Who said that Brother Cheng is going to fall asleep?"

As soon as Mrs. Sheng finished speaking, Brother Cheng couldn't help but yawned, very disrespectful to Mrs. Sheng.Mrs. Sheng found it interesting and laughed.

Dong Yuan also can't laugh or cry.She took a step forward, trying to hug Brother Cheng: "Father, Brother Cheng always sleeps a lot, I'm afraid he's really sleepy. My daughter-in-law took him to rest."

Sheng Changhou frowned slightly, a little bit reluctant to part with Brother Cheng, and annoyed at how unreasonable it was for Dong Yuan to come to have a child at this time.

Dong Yuan deliberately ignored his displeasure and stood still.

Sheng Changhou had no choice but to give Brother Cheng to Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan hugged the child and went to the Nuan Pavilion.

Mother Qiao, the nurse, nursed him, and he fell asleep after drinking the milk.

Sure enough, what he saw just now was not Dong Yuan's illusion.

Dong Yuan wanted to ask the nurse a few words about Brother Cheng, but thinking that everyone in the Sheng family was still watching the new year outside, he didn't say anything else, told the nurse to take good care of Brother Cheng and went out.

The family sat together, talking and laughing with each other, and the child's hour arrived soon.

The second master and the third master ordered the stewards to prepare the fireworks.

Sheng Changhou said: "Let's go to Linbo Tower to have a look. The terrain is higher there, so it looks even better."

Seeing Sheng Changhou in such good spirits, it's too late for the family to be happy, so where would they refute?Everyone hurriedly said yes.

Dong Yuan then ordered the maids to go to the Linbo Tower to hang warm curtains and blankets.These things in Linbolou will be ready when winter comes, and they are also convenient to use.

By the time everyone in Xue's family moved to Linbo Tower, the maids and women had already made Linbo Tower comfortable and warm.

Marquis Sheng Chang went in first, and Mrs. Sheng led Dong Yuan, Second Mistress and the children in.Brother Sheng Xiuyi went out to set off fireworks one after another.

Seeing Sheng Lehao ​​obediently following behind Dong Yuan, Sheng Xiuyi paused and called him, "Brother Hao, don't you want to go with Daddy to set off fireworks?"

Sheng Lehao ​​couldn't help but look bright.

He was about to nod his head, as if remembering something, he looked back at Sheng Changhou.

Sheng Changhou also heard Sheng Xiuyi's words, turned his head to look at Sheng Lehao, and immediately showed a disgusted expression.Even Sheng Leyun and Sheng Lehui could see this kind of expression clearly, the two little girls who were originally chattering suddenly fell silent.

Dong Yuan didn't speak either.

Although she was grateful that she married into the Sheng family and didn't have to enter the palace, she never thought about playing such a powerful role in Sheng Xiuyi's previous marriage.

Sheng Xiuyi's children, she will do her duty to take care of them.As for the deep level of motherly kindness and filial piety, she is not very yearning for it.

She is always afraid of too much.If she started to take care of the grievances between Sheng Changhou and Sheng Lehao, she might end up with an ill-intentioned impression in Sheng Lehao's heart.

That being the case, she steps back and doesn't get involved.

Mrs. Sheng saw that Sheng Changhou's face changed all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but feel alarm bells ringing in her heart. She hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to pull Sheng Lehao: "Brother Hao, go set off fireworks with your father, second and third uncles."

When grandma spoke, Sheng Le Hao Gong said yes.

But in his eyes, there was a bit of disappointment.Sheng Changhou's attitude was indeed very hurtful.

Sheng Changhou didn't seem to like Sheng Lehao ​​in the past.At the beginning, I heard that Sheng Le Hao moved to the outer courtyard at a young age because of his theft.Dong Yuan felt at the time that it was ordered by Marquis Shengchang.

Just because Sheng Lehao's mother is from the Chen family?
Is there no other reason for this?
Although Dong Yuan wanted to know, she would not ask Sheng Xiuyi, because she didn't need to know.Sheng Xiuyi treated her and brother Cheng very well, and that was enough.No matter how he treats Sheng Lehao, Dong Yuan will never be jealous, let alone argue with Sheng Lehao.Her dowry is enough for Brother Cheng to live comfortably in the future.

Sheng Lehao ​​is the eldest son, and Brother Cheng is also the eldest son.

Although Brother Cheng was born to his second wife, he may be weaker than Sheng Lehao, who was born to his first wife.But his mother's family is the prestigious Zhenxianhou Mansion; his biological mother, although a stepmother, is a princess with a title, so she doesn't need to kneel and kowtow to her original tablet.These are far stronger than Sheng Le Hao whose mother's family was ransacked.

Both Dong Yuan and Cheng do not need to compete with Sheng Lehao, whether it is family fortune or fame, what Dong Yuan gave to Cheng is enough.

Sheng Lehao ​​is not the enemy of Dong Yuan's mother and son.

Therefore, Dong Yuan doesn't need to know about the grievances between Sheng Lehao ​​and Sheng Changhou.

The men went to help set off the fireworks.

In a moment, the sky was full of gorgeous blooms, dyeing the secluded blue sky magnificently.

And the good atmosphere just now disappeared without a trace after Sheng Changhou's attitude towards Sheng Lehao.Everyone began to hold their breath again.

The New Year's Eve's watch on New Year's Eve has finally come to an end.
