Chapter 43 Provocation
Episode 043

As soon as the first month passed, the Sheng family formally invited a matchmaker to propose marriage to the Xue family.

Because of the sacred decree, Old Master Xue was very unwilling, but he also told his family members to cheer up and deal with the Sheng family.After all, sister Yuan will live in the Sheng family in the future.If you make the Sheng family unhappy now, sooner or later it will be repaid to Sister Yuan, and the child will suffer accordingly.

Since you can't resist the decree and don't obey it, let go of your grievances and make this marriage amicable.

The Sheng family didn't hold anything too high, and showed respect and respect to Xue Mansion and Xue Dongyuan, which made Old Hou Xue feel better.

Dong Yuan's life has not changed much.

In addition to going to the old lady's place for morning and evening meditation every day, she stays in the Shicui Pavilion to practice calligraphy and needlework. Occasionally, she walks around the Yuanfeng Pavilion of the deceased wife's wife Rong, and often meets the eleventh sister Xue Dongshu and Xue Jiangwan, who lived as a guest, the three sisters joked together for a long time, and then went back to their houses; Give her three points of courtesy.

Occasionally met her father Xue Ziming.As usual, Xue Ziming was so cold that Dong Yuan was chilled.

In February, on the day of Jingzhe, on the day when the dragon raised its head on the second day of the second lunar month, there was a light rain, and everyone in Shengjing was happy.Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and it rains on the second day of February, which indicates that the weather will be smooth and rainy throughout the year.

The old lady was also very happy, and called the female family members of the inner house to eat and play cards, and they didn't return to the house until Shen Zheng.

Dong Yuan came back from Rongde Pavilion, took off his plain velvet embroidered curly grass pattern jacket, and changed into a homely jade color embroidered bat pattern satin jacket, the little maid brought tea to eat, and heard the maid on duty outside called Jiang miss night.

Dong Yuan was slightly stunned, and saw the servant girl lift up the felt curtain, and a pretty woman in a brocade-dotted emerald feather satin cloak walked in, and said with a smile: "Ninth Younger Sister's yard is really unique and exquisite. I liked it the first time I came here. I don't know what to say."

She is very concerned about other people's furnishings, expenses and clothing, this is one of Dong Yuan's rare impressions of this distant cousin.A little displeased in his heart, but his face was still peaceful, Dong Yuan smiled quietly: "It's getting dark and it's raining again, why do you tell the servant girl to come here, how can Sister Wan'er come here in person? If I slipped my feet, it's all my fault !"

"It's all right!" Xue Jiangwan took off her cloak, and she was wearing a silver-red flowing color cloud brocade pattern jacket and a palace green bat-pattern pleated skirt. It was luxurious and gorgeous, and set off her delicate and small cheeks, making her even more charming and seductive.

Among the girls in the Xue family, only the twelfth girl, Xue Donglin, likes to dress gorgeously.Needless to say, Dong Yuan's clothes are plain and monotonous, the fifth girl Xue Dongrong is proud and loves elegant styles; the eleventh girl Xue Dongshu is forbearing and also likes light-colored clothes.

Xue Jiangwan's suit of clothes suppressed all the serious girls in Xue's family.She has been here for almost a month, but she still doesn't know how to measure, and only cares about her own appearance.Dong Yuan shook his head secretly, Xue Jiangwan was originally pretty, and he loved pretty clothes so much, he didn't know how to scruple, and it was easy to provoke hatred.

You can't get along with this person too much.

A thought flashed through Dong Yuan's mind, Xiao Yingying invited Xue Jiang to sit on the evening kang, and let the maids serve tea.

"I heard that Sister Juhong next to Nine Sisters is about to go out. I remembered that I brought a pair of bracelets from home and I can still meet people. It's a congratulatory gift for Sister Juhong." Xue Jiangwan took a red sandalwood box from Xueer, his maid. , put it on the kang table.

Ju Hong is scheduled to get married on February 25th, to Mama Luo's second nephew, and Ju Xiang, who is married to Mama Luo's eldest nephew on the [-]th of the first month, will be his sister-in-law.

Xue'er is the second-class maid in Mrs. Shizi's house, and now she is sent to serve Xue Jiangwan along with another maid named Yu'er.

Dong Yuan's eyes slid past Xue'er, and landed on the red sandalwood box.I saw Xue Jiangwan gently twisting the small lock with her green fingers, and opened the box. There was a faint fragrance, and inside was a pair of gray jade hollowed-out scroll-patterned bead bracelets.

The material is okay, but the style is too old-fashioned.

Xue Jiangwan secretly observed Dong Yuan's expression, and saw that her eyes were clear. Seeing that the pair of bracelets did not move her eyelids, she was taken aback: She should bring her pair of gold bracelets filled with Canaan incense and gold beads Yes, Xue Dongyuan is very fond of the old lady, and the good things Xue Jiangwan has seen are unimaginable, and this pair of gray jade hollow-out bead bracelets does not catch her eyes.

But this is one of my two best pair of bracelets!
Xue Jiangwan was discouraged for three minutes, but still smiled sweetly: "Sister, don't think it's shabby, sister can only get these things, don't make sister a joke."

Are you crying poor?

Dong Yuan pretended not to understand, looked at Qiangwei indifferently, told her to accept it, and said with a smile: "Thank you for thinking about it, sister, I accepted it for Ju Hong. Thank you for your gift."

As if it was just a silver ingot, her plainness made Xue Jiangwan feel ashamed.

Others don't even move the corners of their eyes when they treasure things that they regard themselves as treasures. This is the gap!
She was right to come to Shengjing, and so was Xue's residence!In the near future, I can also live a rich and luxurious life like Xue Dongyuan!

As long as she dares to plan!
Thinking about it, Xue Jiangwan smiled more and more charmingly, and said: "Ninth sister, you are welcome. You can accept such a small gift, it is to give me face."

Dong Yuan still smiled lightly and did not refute.

It's really just a small gift!

Xue Jiangwan felt another stalk in his heart.She quickly concealed her emotions and smiled kindly: "I saw the pattern of flowers embroidered by Eleventh Sister, which is different from ours in the south. Eleventh Sister said that Sister Orange Hong is the best at drawing flowers, and she wanted to ask Sister Orange Hong to help me make two sets of flowers." ..."

Dong Yuan smiled and said, "What's so difficult?"

Then let Qiangwei call out Ju Hong from behind.

Ju Hong came out of the inner room and curtsied when she saw Xue Jiangwan.

Dong Yuan gave her Xue Jiangwan's gift, and then talked about the fancy things. Ju Hong's cheeks were flushed first, and then she suppressed her shame and asked Xue Jiangwan: "What does Miss Wan'er want? I will draw it tonight." , and send it to you tomorrow."

"It doesn't matter, the sisters at home can describe what they look like." Xue Jiangwan said with a smile, "How dare I work hard for my sister to send them over? I will call Xue'er to pick them up tomorrow."

Ju Hong said yes, and went back into the inner room, only Qiangwei and a few maidservants were left to serve.

Xue Jiang sat still in the evening, gossiping with Dong Yuan about family affairs, the topic gradually changed from the difference between the customs on February [-] in the south and the difference in the north, talking about the bustle of February [-] in Xue's mansion, and talking about the girls and ladies in each house in Xue's mansion, the topic was as follows: It turned to Xue Dongshu, the eleventh girl.

"Recently, I heard the maids around me gossip and say nonsense, it's really annoying!" Xue Jiangwan looked heartbroken, "Jiumei doesn't know how those people arrange Jiumei behind her back. And sister eleven!"

Dong Yuan was secretly amused, she finally mentioned the real purpose of her visit with heavy gifts.

Pulling himself together, Dong Yuan feigned surprise: "What kind of gossip actually involves me and Eleventh Sister?"
