Chapter 71 The Secret of the Sheng Mansion (2)

Hearing that the aunt and the young masters and ladies came to say hello to the grandma, Dong Yuan sat on the kang with a faint smile on his face, and asked Qiangwei to lift the felt curtain and invite them in.

Sheng Xiuyi's eldest son, Sheng Lehao, walked in the front.He has low eyebrows and smooth eyes, a thin stature, and a natural timid appearance, wearing a straight gown of purple cocoon silk.Behind him, followed by his concubine sister Sheng Leyun, who was holding the lively and lovely five-year-old Sheng Leyu by her hand.

Compared with the ruddy and healthy concubine Sheng Leyun, Sheng Lehao's thinness reminded Dong Yuan of his former self.

A little reluctance and anxiety flashed in her heart.

Although Sheng Lehao's maternal grandfather's family was punished for treason, and his mother died suddenly for no reason, it made Dong Yuan understand that the future clan succession of the Sheng family cannot be handed over to the eldest son whose identity has been tarnished by his maternal grandfather and mother.But he is the heir of the Sheng family, how can he be raised like this?
Thinking of her mother-in-law's gentle eyes and her father-in-law's calm smile, Dong Yuan was startled.In this family, I am afraid that the mother-in-law will listen to the father-in-law in everything, including the affairs of the inner house.From Sheng Lehao, Dong Yuan can guess what kind of person her father-in-law is.

In Shengchanghou's mansion, the one she must not offend is her father-in-law!

Behind the three Sheng Lehao ​​brothers and sisters, followed by four women.The leader is Xue Jiangwan, who wears a water-red butterfly wearing a hundred-patterned beanie.She is delicate in stature, beautiful in appearance, gentle and sweet when she is not speaking, and looks charming and charming.

Standing behind her was a woman in her thirties wearing an apricot-yellow gown with a vase pattern.She gradually revealed plumpness and a demure appearance. She should have served Sheng Xiuyi since she was a child and later raised her aunt Shao Aunt Zitan, Sheng Leyun's biological mother.

Following Aunt Shao was a woman wearing a jade-colored embroidered begonia pattern gown.She looks even softer than Xue Jiangwan, tall and graceful, with thick black hair and translucent white skin.The smile on her face looked elegant and charming.If she was true to her appearance, she should be the second grandmother Ge Shi's aunt, Tao Shi, and the birth mother of Sheng Xiuyi's concubine Sheng Leyu.

I heard that she reads well, knows a thing or two about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is gentle and generous, very elegant. Mrs. Sheng likes her very much.

The woman standing at the back, wearing a palace green embroidered red peony, was looking at Dong Yuan.Seeing Dong Yuan looking at her, she lowered her eyes.She is younger than Aunt Tao and Aunt Shao, so she should be the aunt Fan that Sheng Xiuyi's boss gave him.

Aunt Fan is not yet 19 years old, she has been with Sheng Xiuyi for two years and has no heirs. I heard that Mrs. Sheng is very dissatisfied with her.

But it can be seen that her temperament is not gloomy, but the most lively and bold.

Several people saluted Dong Yuan one after another, and reported their families one by one: Dong Yuan guessed everything correctly!
Dong Yuan said no courtesy, and asked Qiangwei to sit on the brocade bamboo for them, and said to the children: "You guys sit on the kang."

Sheng Lehao ​​glanced at his concubine Sheng Leyun; and the nine-year-old Sheng Leyun was a little hesitant, wondering if she should sit down or not.The five-year-old Sheng Leyu was innocent, and he was favored on weekdays. As soon as Dong Yuan finished speaking, he ignored his brothers and sisters, and threw his head into Dong Yuan's arms like he did to Mrs. Sheng, calling sweetly: "Mother!"

Very naturally cooked.

It was the first time for Dong Yuan to get close to such a big child, she was a little unnatural, but quickly calmed down, smiled and hugged Sheng Leyu in her arms, then pointed to the kang next to her: "Brother Hao, sit here. "

Seeing Dong Yuan's words, Sheng Lehao ​​didn't dare to disobey, and sat down beside Dong Yuan.Dong Yuan saw that he actually looked at his sister-in-law when he acted, and felt distressed and uncomfortable.

Seeing that her elder brother and younger brother had sat down, Sheng Leyun sat down gently on the opposite side of the kang, and thanked her mother again.

Several aunts also sat down one by one.

Sheng Leyu asked loudly, "Mother, are you the Nine Heavens Xuannv?"

Dong Yuan was slightly taken aback.

Aunt Tao's face changed slightly, she didn't know what the child was going to say.If they offended the mistress when they met for the first time, the two wives would not have a good life in the future.But at this moment, Aunt Tao dared not answer rashly.

When the mistress talks to the young master, how can it be her turn to talk?

Others looked at them in puzzlement.

Sheng Leyu said again: "Grandmother said that Nine Heavens Xuannv is the prettiest. Mother, you are so good-looking, even more beautiful than my aunt!"

Aunt Tao was horrified, and hurriedly knelt down: "Grandmaid, the second young master speaks out loud, don't take offense. The concubine's status is low, I dare not compare with the eldest grandma, concubine deserves to die!"

This person is so good!
But be careful and remember your identity, it's always right.

Dong Yuan was thinking in his heart, but his face was full of smiles, he asked Qiangwei to quickly help Aunt Tao, and said with a smile: "Auntie is worrying too much. You also said that the second young master speaks like a child, how could I be offended. We two The young master praised me for being good-looking, I am very happy."

After all, let Qiangwei take something to reward Sheng Leyu.

Qiangwei seems to be more troublesome than Aunt Tao.She not only gave Sheng Leyu a necklace with a tourmaline pendant, but also a jade pendant inlaid with lapis lazuli, and a pair of gold-thread hollowed-out and inlaid large east bead curly pattern bracelets, which were put together in a box.

When Dong Yuan opened the box, he understood Qiangwei's intention, and his smile deepened.

She put it on for Sheng Leyu herself, and Sheng Leyu was overjoyed again, saying it looked good, even better than his neck, thank you mother.

Dong Yuan gave the jade pendant and the bracelet to Sheng Lehao ​​and Sheng Leyun respectively: "You also have a share..."

These two children obviously didn't expect it, and they looked at Dong Yuan in slight surprise.

Seeing that Dong Yuan's eyes were full of smiles, he gave it to them sincerely, and both of them accepted it, and then said thank you.

Sheng Xiuyi who was in the study heard the commotion here, and stepped forward.

When he entered the Dongci room, everyone stood up and saluted him.

He was sitting on the kang, Dong Yuan was sitting opposite him, Qiangwei added brocade to the children.Dong Yuan looked at the room full of people, and felt a sense of ridicule: They are actually a family, but they don't have the warmth of family at all.

Dong Yuan knew that these children were grown up, no matter how hard she tried, they would not get close to her, and would even be wary of her harming them.There is a proverb in Kyoto that says: "The clouds in the dark sky hold the heart of the late lady".It is said that Wan Niang's heart is dark, the most vicious.

Therefore, she and these children will always stick to their own duties and do their best to show affection.Even though she felt sorry for Sheng Lehao, she didn't dare to take the initiative to get close to him.

If this fell into the eyes of someone with a heart, they would think that she had ulterior motives and wanted to murder the eldest son.

As for the aunts, they will not foolishly expect Dong Yuan to look like their sisters, and Dong Yuan will not think about being intimate with them.If people don't offend me, I won't offend others. This is still a kinder thought.If you have crooked thoughts, I'm afraid it's life and death.

This kind of marriage made Dong Yuan a little upset.

But remembering that this marriage saved her and prevented her from entering the palace, she felt better again.

At least now, she can sit side by side with her husband.

If she enters the palace, she will not only bow down to her "husband" emperor, but also his "right wife" empress, and even the concubines of first rank, second rank and third rank.She may not even be as good as Fan Shi who is sitting at the back at the moment.

People should be satisfied, what they want, what they can want, and only the lesser of two evils.Rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, probably because of her mentality.

Thinking of this, Dong Yuan's expression became softer.

Sheng Xiuyi asked the eldest son Sheng Lehao ​​about his homework.Compared with the timidity just now, Sheng Lehao ​​held his head upright at this moment, and answered very fluently and competently, Sheng Xiuyi couldn't help but nod his head.

"Study hard." He said to Sheng Lehao ​​with a light smile.

Sheng Lehao's eyes showed surprise, and he hurriedly said yes.

Sheng Xiuyi asked Sheng Leyu a few more words, then said that he was a little tired and told them to go down.Everyone got up one after another and left the Jingsheyuan.

Sheng Xiuyi said to Dong Yuan: "They can't stop talking. You've been tired all day, so take a break. You have to go and say hello to your mother later."

It turned out that he was here to help her get out of the way.

Qiangwei pursed her lips and smiled, and Mother Luo couldn't help laughing either.

Dong Yuan felt embarrassed, and respectfully said yes.

Sheng Xiuyi seemed to look normal, got up and said: "I'm going to the outer courtyard, and I will have dinner in the outer courtyard. If Mother didn't invite you to eat, you can eat by yourself when you come back, and you don't have to wait for me."

Dong Yuan said yes again.

As soon as he left, Luo's mother laughed: "Our son is very good at loving people!"

Qiangwei was also happy, and said, "No way!"

Sheng Xiuyi probably saw that she didn't take a break at noon, and was afraid that she would be out of energy and show fatigue in front of Mrs. Sheng later, which would annoy her mother-in-law, right?If you get dizzy for the first time, if you offend your mother-in-law, you will have a bad first impression, and you will not be able to repair it after ten times the effort.

Sheng Xiuyi was still very careful.

It's just embarrassing to be told by Luo's mother and Qiangwei.

She changed the subject and asked what secret Mama Cui from Qiangwei Kitchen had told her.

Qiangwei glanced outside the curtain in Dongcijian, only Ziwei and Honglian were on duty, so she slightly lowered her voice: "It's the young master's business..."

Dong Yuan thought at first that he wanted to tell Sheng Xiuyi some secret.Now that I think about it, it should belong to the young master Sheng Lehao.

Serving in the Jingsheyuan, gossiping about the son of the world, mother Cui is going to die?

But the new mistress must be happy to hear the gossip of the ex-wife and the son-in-law, so she can speak innocuous things, which can please Dong Yuan without offending the son-in-law.This mother Cui is also smart.

I'm afraid that what Mama Cui told Qiangwei is known to everyone in the Sheng family, only the newcomers don't.Cui's mother said in advance that she just took the lead.

"What are you talking about, Eldest Young Master?" Dong Yuan suddenly lost interest.

Qiangwei said: "I saw that Madam seems to like the Second Young Master rather than the Eldest Young Master, so I asked Mama Cui why. Mama Cui said that Madam used to like the Eldest Young Master very much, but there was a time when Yuanyang Pavilion often lost things. Later it was found out that the young master took it. Master Hou was very angry. The young master moved to the outer courtyard before he was nine years old, and he was not allowed to visit his wife often. The wife likes children, and the second young master is cute and lively. That love was transferred to the second young master."

Marquis Shengchang...

Dong Yuan's heart couldn't help but tighten.
