Chapter 218 Changes (1)

Dong Yuan felt that this was the first New Year's Eve she left Xue's house.

Although she spent last year's New Year's Eve in the Shengchang Hou Mansion.

Last year, Sheng Xiuyi was still in the northwest, and his life and death were unknown; Sheng Changhou was as usual, with a tense face, and there was no sound at the dinner table;Dong Yuan didn't have the right to be a housekeeper at that time, and she was still pregnant with Brother Cheng.

Mrs. Sheng was afraid of her hard work, so she didn't keep her to watch the new year, and asked her to go back to Jingsheyuan early to rest.

Last year tonight, no glorified impression was left.

But this year's New Year's Eve, which was supposed to be enough for everyone to reminisce for a year, was disrupted by Sheng Changhou's attitude at the end.Although he has a kind attitude towards Sheng Xiuyi and Sheng Xiumu brothers, he is still disliked towards the second master Sheng Xiuhai as always; he is even less amiable towards Sheng Lehao.

Dong Yuan has roughly figured out Sheng Changhou's temper: he hates whoever he hates, and he won't change easily.

Although he is good to Brother Cheng now and trusts Dong Yuan, but he is still very indifferent to Dong Yuan.Although reason made him understand that Dong Yuan would not betray the Sheng family, so he handed over the rights of housekeeper to Dong Yuan.

But he doesn't like Dong Yuan.

It was not until early morning that Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi went back to the Jingsheyuan to rest.

Although Dong Yuan has a lot to say to Sheng Xiuyi, but thinking that tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, they not only have to welcome guests, but also go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings; and then go to Xue's house to pay New Year's greetings. Tired, she suppressed what she wanted to say, and stopped serving Sheng Xiuyi.

Sheng Xiuyi also had something to say to Dong Yuan, it can be seen that she was tired, so she swallowed her words, and just gently hugged her in her arms.

Both of them just took a short nap.

As soon as he arrived at Yinchu, Dong Yuan woke up.She got up lightly, called Mother Luo, Ju Hong, Xun Fang, and Bi Qiu to serve her, changed into the imperial dress of the princess, and dressed up.

Sheng Xiuyi didn't wake up until Dong Yuan was almost fully dressed.

He looked at Dong Yuan's clothes, and said with some distress: "It's still early before entering the palace, why did you change the court clothes now?"

The court clothes are heavy and uncomfortable to wear.

Dong Yuan smiled: "There are still things to do at home, I'm afraid it will be too late. Change your clothes first, and then no matter how long the family matters get into, you won't worry about losing your etiquette when entering the palace."

Sheng Xiuyi smiled helplessly, he felt that Dong Yuan was a little nervous.

In fact, Dong Yuan was well prepared for fear of being in a hurry.

Sheng Xiuyi also got up, changed into court clothes, and had breakfast with Dong Yuan.Dong Yuan went to the flower hall to meet with the women in charge at home, and gave instructions for today's specific matters.

Sheng Xiuyi went to Mrs. Sheng's place.

Seeing Dong Yuan dressed so solemnly, all the women suddenly felt a little afraid in front of her, and held their breaths.

"Today I'm going out to pay New Year's greetings. If there's anything I need to make up my mind about at home, I'll ask Miss Xunfang." Dong Yuan finally said, "Xunfang's words are mine. If you are not convinced, you can argue when I come back.... "

All the women looked at Xunfang, showing envy.

Xunfang responded to their eyes generously, quite imposingly.

But when she returned to the inner room, her palms were full of sweat, and she whispered to Dong Yuan: "Grandma, the servant is young, afraid of being ignorant, doing something wrong, and disgracing Grandma. Why don't you let Mama Luo take care of it?" , the servants will run errands for Mother Luo..."

When something happened, Luo's mother made up her mind, and Xunfang helped run the errands. People who didn't know it still thought it was Xunfang who made up her mind.In this way, it was safe, and it did not show timidity in front of the woman in charge, which would damage Dong Yuan's prestige.

Dong Yuan praised in his heart, and smiled at Xunfang: "Mom is getting old, I can't bear her to work so hard. You are young, it's time to share my worries. Don't be afraid, no matter what you do, you are waiting for my orders. Even if the women in charge at home are not afraid of me, they are afraid of the whip of Lord Marquis. You can do things at ease, and don't tell them to underestimate the people in my house..."

Only then did Xunfang remember how harshly and cruelly Hou Ye handled the affairs of the inner house for his wife in the past.

Now the women in charge of the family are all carefully selected from Lord Hou.They may not be the best at handling things, but they are absolutely obedient and obedient, and they dare not make things difficult for their master.

Xunfang is acting on behalf of the grandma, and the women at home should not treat her lightly.

Thinking of this, Xunfang became more courageous, bowed to Dong Yuan and said: "Grandma, slaves will not embarrass Grandma."

Dong Yuan smiled in relief, and asked Bi Qiu to help Xun Fang.

After they left, Dong Yuan called Mother Luo and Ju Hong to come to him: "... I will let Xun Fang leave your errands to others. On the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, you all rest and don't need to come in serve."

During the Chinese New Year, the family came and went, and Dong Yuan was the new housekeeper, so naturally there were many things to do.The ones around her who are capable, Ju Xiang is still in confinement, and Qiangwei is married, if Luo's mother and Ju Hong leave again, there will be nothing they can do.

Mother Luo also wanted to take advantage of the New Year's Eve to rest for a day or two, but she was no ordinary servant, she was just loyal to her master.

Luo's mother and Dong Yuan are not only masters and servants, they love mother and daughter; Ju Hong and Dong Yuan have also served since childhood, and they are like sisters.

"How many things have to be busy during the big festival?" Luo's mother politely refused Dong Yuan, "How many things can you see with your hands and eyes? We rest, don't we want to train you alone? Otherwise, let Ju Hong rest first In a few days, mom will wait until the fifteenth day..."

Seeing that Luo's mother had left her behind, Ju Hong suddenly cried out in displeasure: "Mom, look at what you said. You don't rest, what am I, just let me rest for two days during the Chinese New Year?"

Dong Yuan watched and couldn't help laughing: "I still don't know your hearts? Now that Lord Hou and his wife are still healthy and healthy, what's the big deal at home? I let you rest for two days during the Chinese New Year, and there is another purpose..."

When Luo's mother and Ju Hong heard that they had another purpose, they stopped talking immediately and just looked at Dong Yuan.

"...Mom and Ju Hong have been by my side since childhood. Although you don't need to take care of many things now, you are the most respectable in front of me. During the rest of the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, there are only Mama Kang and Second Mistress who are beside my wife. Mama Ge next to me has such an opportunity. I gave you the ones in my room to let people know that no matter who will manage the affairs of my room in the future, the old people around me will always be the most honorable. In this way, those later maids Just know the rules." Dong Yuan said slowly.

She bit the word "rules" very hard.

Mother Luo and Ju Hong were a little puzzled at first, but then they gradually understood Dong Yuan's intentions: I am afraid that next year, she will not reuse Mother Luo and Ju Hong again, and will give their positions to other capable maidservants.

Tangerine will have no objection to this.She promised Dong Yuan a long time ago that she would go out after the new year, so as not to cause discord with the Erzhuang couple.

Mother Luo is even more incapable.She had no desire for power in the first place.She was by Dong Yuan's side, but because of her predestined relationship with Dong Yuan, the two had a deep affection.She was originally indifferent, when she was at Xue's house, things in Dongyuan's house were very simple, with the help of orange red and orange fragrance, Luo's mother could handle it decently.

But when he arrived at the Sheng family, Dong Yuan became the eldest daughter-in-law, and she will be Mrs. Sheng Changhou in the future.Things in her room gradually became more and more complicated, and Mother Luo often felt powerless.I am always afraid that if I can't do well, the maids of the Sheng family will look down on the old man around Dong Yuan and embarrass Dong Yuan.

Now, Dong Yuan wants to change the people around him, and Mother Luo agrees.Her daughter Qiuwen was working in the eldest master Sheng Lehao's house again, so she didn't have anything to worry about.To be at leisure, to walk around in front of Dong Yuan from time to time, not minding things, is what Luo's mother wants.

But Dong Yuan was afraid of wronging them.

Although they understand each other, in the eyes of others, Ju Hong and Luo's mother seem to be outdated.Those who step on the highs and the lows are afraid to look coldly at Mother Luo and Ju Hong.

Dong Yuan tried his best to praise Luo Mama and Ju Hong, just to build momentum for them.This is the "rule" she said: the old people around her are always honorable.

No matter how embarrassing things are around him, Dong Yuan will first think about arranging the escape route for Luo's mother and others, which makes Luo's mother and Ju Hong very moved.

"That's fine." Luo's mother laughed, "My family always wears autumn patterns to celebrate the New Year on Zhuangzi. This year it's rare to be in Kyoto. It's best for me to rest for two days..."

"Juxiang is still in the confinement period. My mother-in-law is afraid of being in a hurry at the beginning of the new year. I will go back and help her, and she will say less about me next year." Juhong also said with a smile.

The two also comforted Dong Yuan with words.

Dong Yuan couldn't help being in a good mood.

When everything here is done, we have already arrived at Maozheng.

Dong Yuan went to Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion.

Sheng Xiuyi was not in Yuanyang Pavilion, he went to the Prince's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings first.

Mrs. Sheng also got up early, seeing that Dong Yuan had already changed her clothes, she said with a smile: "Did you change your clothes so early?" Mrs. Sheng was wearing a homely beanie, and sat on the kang to accompany Sheng Changhou to eat.

Dong Yuan smiled and said yes.

Sheng Changhou said to her in a flat tone: "You don't need to serve here. You all have to go out today, and the housekeepers should give instructions to the women in charge in advance, so as not to panic the visitors."

"Already ordered." Dong Yuan replied respectfully.

Sheng Changhou paused for a moment with the chopsticks in his hand, and did not speak again.

At the beginning of Chen, the second master and the second grandma led sister Hui, and the wet nurse led sister Yun. Sheng Lehao ​​and third master Sheng Xiumu came to greet Sheng Changhou and Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng sent out red envelopes to everyone.

Afterwards, Mother Qiao came out to greet Sheng Changhou and Mrs. Sheng with Brother Cheng in her arms.

Brother Cheng has already woken up, rolling his black eyes, babbling and not knowing what to say, his expression is very happy.Mrs. Sheng was very happy to see, and rewarded Brother Cheng with the biggest purse.

Mother Qiao kept it for Brother Cheng, but felt that the purse was very heavy, and it probably contained a lot of money.

"We all have to go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings. The family affairs are all arranged, you just need to take care of them." When it was almost the third quarter of the first day of the morning, Mrs. Sheng told the second grandma, Ge Shi.

The second grandmother does not need to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings.

Second Mistress said yes.

Both Marquis Shengchang and Mrs. Sheng changed into their court clothes. Dong Yuan supported Mrs. Sheng, and when they were about to go out, Lin Jiufu, the steward of the outer court, suddenly ran over: "Master, Madam, grandma, there is a letter from the palace, you don't need to enter this year." Palace greetings."

Everyone was stunned.

Don't need to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings?

Could it be Emperor Yuanchang...

This was the first thought that floated in Dong Yuan's mind.
