Chapter 242 Ending (3)

When Xue Dongrong came back, everyone in the Xue family was surprised.

Hearing that she and Xiao Xuanqin were farming the land to support themselves outside, everyone thought that Xue Dongrong would be very haggard.How can you look good when you are exposed to the wind and the sun?
But Xue Dongrong's flabbily skin and shining eyes are a little brighter than when she was in her mother's house.She laughed before saying anything, she was much more cheerful, not as lonely and lofty as she was in her mother's house.

Everyone stared dumbfounded.

Xue Dongrong and Xiao Xuanqin knelt down and kowtowed to the elders.

When the old lady helped her up, she couldn't help her voice choked up, and she was full of joy: "Sister Rong, good boy, get up quickly..."

The second lady was already sobbing.

Xue Dongrong smiled, and her eyes were wet.

Others also noticed Xiao Xuanqin.Different from the absurdity when he returned home, now he is dark-skinned, tall and strong, and his smile is a bit flying. He is not at all depressed because of the loss of life, and he is also much more cheerful.

Seeing them like this, everyone was moved.

Although the hairpins are coarsely clothed, Xue Dongrong is even more beautiful than wearing silk and satin; Xiao Xuanqin has rough hands, and looks more like a man standing upright.

Only then did everyone in the Xue family feel that Xiao Xuanqin was also a handsome man.

Through the crowd, Xue Dongrong saw Dong Yuan.She smiled at Dong Yuan, took a few steps forward, held Dong Yuan's hand, and looked at her belly enviously: "Ninth younger sister is happy again?"

Dong Yuan smiled and said yes, she felt that Xue Dongrong's eyes were as clear and kind as a mountain spring, which made people feel good.She wasn't bad in the past, but that rejection always made people uncomfortable.

These two years of life have transformed both her and Xiao Xuanqin.

After seeing the ceremony, the women of the family surrounded Xue Dongrong to the old lady's Rongde Pavilion, while the men dragged Xiao Xuanqin to sit in the outer courtyard.

The second lady kept holding Xue Dongrong's hand, crying continuously.

Seeing her mother so thin and pale, Xue Dongrong's tears were like broken beads.Just now he was able to control his emotions in the main hall, and greeted everyone with a smile, but now he can only cry in the arms of the second lady, choked with sobs.

Everyone was upset, and wiped away their tears one by one.

In the end, it was the eldest lady who first persuaded the second lady, and then Xue Dongrong, and the atmosphere became better.

"In the past few years, you have suffered outside..." When she sat down to talk, the old lady couldn't help but sighed, and touched Xue Dongrong's hand distressedly.

She was gratified that Xue Dongrong still had a pair of porcelain white and delicate hands that looked like a rich lady, not like a woman digging in the dirt at all.

Xue Dongrong smiled with tears in her eyes: "Grandmother, I have never suffered. Xiao Lang is a man. I don't need to worry about outside things. I just do some sewing at home... Look at my hands, aren't they still the same as before?"

Everyone's eyes fell on her, and they couldn't help admiring Xiao Xuan.

In the evening Dong Yuan returned to Sheng Mansion and told Sheng Xiuyi what happened today.

Sheng Xiuyi just smiled: "...Even if your sister spotted him back then, Xiao Xuanqin is not bad."

Dong Yuan smiled, agreeing with Sheng Xiuyi's words.

After Xue Dongrong returned to Beijing, Xiao Xuanqin could walk around without restricting his feet.

They rented a two-entry house near Zhenxianhou's Mansion.

Grandfather and grandmother gave Xiao Xuanqin a sum of money to manage his own life.This time he did not reject the Xue family's kindness. Within a month, Xiao Xuanqin partnered with the owner of the silk shop to sell goods in the northwest, and then returned from the northwest.

He also doesn't think this job is cheap, and he can do whatever can make money.

He can endure hardships, and he was a messy person in the past, dealing with all kinds of people.Old Master Xue was not worried that he would be deceived, so he let him go at ease.

It's just that Xue Dongrong is always worried, always worried for Xiao Xuanqin.

Because of Xiao Xuanqin's behavior, the entire Xue family looked at him with admiration.Xue Dongrong's elder brother, Xue Huaxuan, the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenxian's Mansion, drank with Sheng Xiuyi, and told Sheng Xiuyi about his fifth sister-in-law, and then said: "If others don't tell me, who still remembers the absurd Fifth Young Master Xiao, who was The current Xiao Xuanqin? It's like two different people..."

Sheng Xiuyi had a different attitude from Xue Huaxuan.

He didn't say it in front of Xue Huaxuan, but came back and told Dong Yuan: "...In the past, he was probably hiding his strength and biding his time, waiting for an opportunity. Unexpectedly, this is not a coincidence, and his family was ruined... The Xiao family blocked his way."

Dong Yuan couldn't help laughing.

Sheng Xiuyi still had the smell of wine on his body, and he asked her a little bit drunk: "What's so funny? Did I say something wrong?"

"That's not true." Dong Yuan stopped laughing, "I just think the words are familiar. In the past, when my grandfather and grandmother talked about you, they always said that the Sheng family blocked your future. It was very regrettable. The tone was exactly the same as you said about your fifth brother-in-law. .You two brothers-in-law really feel sorry for each other."

Sheng Xiuyi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and hugged Dong Yuan in his arms and kissed him vigorously.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was September [-]th, and Dong Yuan felt uncomfortable when he woke up in the morning, and his stomach ached in the middle of the morning.

Within half an hour, the amniotic fluid broke.

This time, she was not as scared or uncomfortable as Brother Shengcheng was when she was a child. Although she felt her stomach ached like a knife and tried hard, Dongyuan herself felt that there was not enough time, so Wen Po yelled to see the child. head off.

Mrs. Sheng made offerings to Avalokitesvara for sending her son during Dongci, and when she heard that the child came down so quickly, she stopped worshiping the Bodhisattva and hurried over to have a look.

The amniotic fluid broke at the beginning of the afternoon, and before Shenchu, two children were born.

"Madam is overjoyed, grandma is overjoyed, they are twins." Po Wen and Mama Luo happily congratulated Dong Yuan and Mrs. Sheng from the side.

Dong Yuan just breathed a long sigh of relief, his heart was full of sweetness.

She wanted a daughter very much, but she actually gave birth to two daughters at once. How could she be unhappy?
Sheng Xiuyi was even more excited, and threatened that the child's baptism should be more solemn.

Both Dong Yuan and Mrs. Sheng disagreed.

Mrs. Sheng said: "Brother Cheng's baptism was too heavy, and the child choked on water when he was born. The child is too young, so don't be expensive, or else he won't be able to bear the blessing. In the countryside of Huizhou, everyone gave the child a cheap Name, this is a good way to feed."

Sheng Changhou also felt that there was no need to make a fuss.

Sheng Xiuyi had no choice but to suppress the joy that filled his heart.

Different from Brother Cheng's indifference when he was born, Sheng Changhou was very active this time to find a Taoist priest to tell the fortunes of the two children.According to the fate of the two children, he named the boy Sheng Lejia and the girl Sheng Leying.

After getting the name, everyone called Jia Geer and Ying Jie like this.

Sheng Lejia and Sheng Leying are different from Brother Cheng, these two children love to cry very much.After they were born, they didn't arrange a yard like Brother Cheng did, and just rested in the warm pavilion of Jingsheyuan.Dong Yuan was woken up several times at night by the crying of the child.

Sheng Xiuyi was also half asleep and half awake when he heard the child crying.

As soon as the baby cries, the wet nurse rushes to serve, but it doesn't affect Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi's rest.

Sheng Xiuyi would still say: "Why do you love to cry so much? Brother Cheng never cried before..."

Dong Yuan smiled and said: "Brother Cheng is different from other children. Who doesn't like to cry? Brother Cheng is born with rigidity, so he doesn't like to cry."

Sheng Xiuyi thought for a while, and asked Dong Yuan very puzzled: "...Really?" Then he remembered something, and stopped talking.

Dong Yuan knew, he remembered that he still had three children, but he didn't know what the children were like when they were young, he felt a little weird.As the father of this era, he didn't really get in touch with the children's childhood until his marriage with Dong Yuan.

So he thought that when he was a child, he didn't like to cry like Brother Cheng.

Sheng Leying was born a little earlier than Sheng Lejia, she is the older sister.Like the two children, they love to cry a lot.

Sheng Changhou once had a whim, so he asked people to take the two children to have a look.

Sheng Xiuyi and Dong Yuan immediately felt terrified, wouldn't these two children want to occupy them too?
As a result, it didn't take long for Jia Ge'er to go, and she kept crying, and the nurse got better after feeding her.Marquis Shengchang thought he was clean, but sister Ying started crying again.

The repeated cries from Yuanyang Pavilion made Sheng Changhou's head grow dizzy, he hurriedly sent the child back, and frowned behind his back, "Like two girls!"

With that tone, I don't like Sheng Lejia's crying.

Dong Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.

She really didn't want her second son to be taken over by Marquis Sheng Chang.

As the days passed, the third grandma Shan Jiayu also gave birth to a boy for the third master. The powder carving was very beautiful, not quite like the third grandma, but more like the mold of the third master.

The third master is very happy.

Sheng Changhou named the third master's son Sheng Lechun.

When the third grandma was pregnant with Brother Chun, the two maids she married as dowry were the roommates.One of them became pregnant when Brother Chun was four months old, and gave birth to a baby girl ten months later.

Sheng Xiuyi's legitimate sons Sheng Lehao, Sheng Lecheng, and Sheng Lejia, his legitimate daughter Sheng Leying, his concubine daughter Sheng Leyun, the third master's legitimate son Sheng Lechun, and his concubine's daughter Sheng Lemin, the family had seven children at once.

When Sheng Lehao ​​was 17 years old, he passed the provincial examination for Juren, but failed for Jinshi.

The Sheng family also became worried about his marriage.

Sheng Xiuyi also mentioned to his father for the first time: "In the future, I want to leave the family business to Brother Hao. Brother Cheng and Brother Jia, I will leave them a fortune, so that they can live without worry. I will also do well. Tell Brother Cheng and Brother Jia to become talents and have a good future."

The implication is that he will help the two sons born to Dong Yuan to have a good future, but the title of title must be won by the two sons themselves.

This incident made Sheng Changhou half dead.

It was also the first time for Sheng Changhou to speak openly to Sheng Xiuyi: "Back then, the Chen family betrayed the Sheng family. How could the son she left behind become the head of the Sheng family? Let me tell you, you can either earn the title yourself and leave it to Brother Hao, or let him He gave up his heart. My position will only be given to Brother Cheng!"

Sheng Xiuyi knew his father's stubbornness early on, but he didn't dare to openly say that he didn't want his father's family business.

This is his unfilial piety.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say, so he went back to Jingsheyuan in a full stomach.
