Chapter 78 Returning to the Door (3)

Dong Yuan's face was hot, he didn't know whether it was from drinking or from embarrassment, when he heard his family's uproar and thought of Sheng Xiuyi's thoughtfulness, something seemed to flow in his heart, and he couldn't calm down no matter what.

She lowered her eyelashes and said nothing.

But the roots of the ears were flushed red, making everyone laugh again.

The old lady helped her out, and scolded with a smile: "All of you, you have broken your conscience by making fun of the bride! You are all envious of the good-looking Ninth Young Master? Which of your young masters looks crooked?"

Everyone laughed again, and they all clamored that the old lady was partial, which made the old lady laugh non-stop.

It seems that the Xue family has not been so lively for a long time.

The old lady also praised in her heart: the last time I saw Sheng Xiuyi in Yonglian Temple, he had a low face and didn't speak much, he looked Zhou Zheng, but he was gloomy and distasteful.When I saw him again today, it was as if I was elated after being named on the gold list, and the confidence that flowed when I spoke added to his spirit, and I felt even more handsome and extraordinary.

Compared with the young man of eighteen or nineteen, he is more calm; compared with the men of the same age, he is more handsome, Dong Yuan is indeed lucky.

The old lady glanced at Dong Yuan, who was blushing with embarrassment, and was very happy in her heart as she looked like a newlywed daughter.But thinking of the original intention of getting married between Xue and Sheng, I couldn't help but sigh again.

Others don't know, but the old lady knows it.How long can they live such a loving life?

The guests have left the table.

On the other side of the screen, Old Hou Ye and the others were still in high spirits, and there was an endless stream of cups and laughter.

A stage was set up at home, and Mrs. Shizi arranged for the female relatives to listen to the opera.

They sang "Magpie Bridge Meeting", which was festive and lively.

The old lady sat down for a while, then said that she was very tired and wanted to go back to the house for a rest.Mrs. Shizi wanted to get up to serve, but the old lady smiled and said, "No, no! Sister Yuan, you can stay with grandma."

Dong Yuan hurriedly got up and said yes.

Qiangwei, who was waiting on the sidelines, also followed Mother Zhan back to the old lady's Rongde Pavilion.

The old lady took off her royal blue beanie with twigs and vase pattern, and changed into a homely sky blue beanie with wishful cloud pattern.Baojin and Baolu hurriedly served hot tea to Dong Yuan and the old lady.

The old lady glanced at Dong Yuan, then at Qiangwei who was standing beside her, and asked Qiangwei, "How are the Hou Ye, Madam and Shizi of the Sheng family treating your grandma?"

Qiangwei saw that Dong Yuan's face was red again, she hurried forward, bowed her knees to the old lady, and then said respectfully: "Don't worry, old lady, our grandma is doing well in the house. Madam likes grandma very much, and we will give you a temporary gift during the marriage ceremony." Grandma has added some face; the son of the world also loves grandma very much, and he even spoke for grandma in front of his wife yesterday."

Speaking for the daughter-in-law in front of the mother-in-law?

The old lady raised her eyebrows and looked at Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan suppressed his embarrassment, and said: "It's just that the second younger sibling made a joke, and Shi Ziye took it seriously, so please give her a compliment. Mother didn't blame her..."

As soon as the old lady heard that Sheng Xiuyi was speaking for Dong Yuan, she was worried that her mother-in-law was careless, thinking that Dong Yuan was a coquettish child who provoked discord between her husband and mother-in-law.Seeing that Dong Yuan said that Mother didn't blame her, the old lady felt relieved.

"Good boy, the Sheng family is no different than before, you have to serve your grandma with all your heart." The old lady told Qiangwei, and waved her to go out.

Qiangwei bent her knees, turned around and left the inner room.

Only Dong Yuan and the old lady were left in the inner room. The old lady took her hand, looked her up and down, and said with a smile, "How does your mother-in-law treat you?"

Dong Yuan justly said: "Mother is very kind. The son helped me to speak, I was really afraid that mother would be unhappy. Mother didn't blame her at all, she quite liked it..."

The old lady nodded and said with satisfaction: "The last time I saw your mother-in-law in Yonglian Temple, I saw that she is gentle and honest. But it will take a long time to see people's hearts. I hope she looks the same. Sister Yuan, you were never married before. , There are many things grandma can't tell you, but now I tell you, you have to keep it in your heart."

Dong Yuan nodded hurriedly.

"Tianhe is a good person. He will do something in the future. Don't disrespect him just thinking that he is not happy now." The old lady said earnestly.

Dong Yuan said: "My husband is heaven, grandmother, I understand my duty."

The old lady knew that Dong Yuan understood, so she avoided these corners and corners, and told Dong Yuan the original intention of getting married between Xue and Sheng, and said: "...your father-in-law is a minister of pillars, but he is a favorite. Fame and fortune. As long as there is a chance of survival, he will not give up fighting for the third prince of Concubine Sheng. Our family also needs the protection of the royal family. If the two clans fight in the future, Sister Yuan, your grandfather and I will live together. Keep you safe and sound; if we are not here, don't listen to the Xue family and get yourself involved. You have to remember that when you leave the Xue family, you are the daughter-in-law of the Sheng family. No matter how much favor you have to the Xue family After a hundred years, the Xue family will not set up a memorial tablet for you, and will not let you enter the ancestral grave. The Sheng mansion is your home."

The old lady said that the water splashed by the married daughter will help her mother's family deal with her husband's family, and it will not be good at both ends.

If the Xue family is in trouble, they will naturally help.

If the Xue family is against the Sheng family, Dong Yuan should not help the Xue family, even if the Xue family is the place where she was born and raised.She got married, and her honor and disgrace had nothing to do with the Xue family.No matter how prosperous the Xue family is, it doesn't have a piece of the pie as a married woman like her.

Only when Shengfu is prosperous and prosperous can Dongyuan have a good future.

Marrying a daughter naturally hopes to bring harmony between the two clans.But if it can't be realized, it is important to let her daughter Mingzhe protect herself and protect herself.

Is the old lady afraid that her conscience will be broken, and she followed the old path of the Chen family?
His eyes were a little dull, and Dong Yuan said in a low voice: "Grandmother, the situation of the court is changing rapidly. Maybe the two clans will not be enemies in the future. It is nothing more than a struggle for the position of the crown prince and the successor. If the imperial concubine and the second prince are selected, the Sheng family should be safe. Are they divided into courtiers? Could it be that they will follow the old path of the Chen family?"

The Chen family was the natal family of the Fifth Prince.Knowing that the crown prince's ascension to the throne is unchangeable, the Chen family also helped the fifth prince to take risks, and finally killed the fifth prince and ruined the lives of a whole family.

The risk is too great.

Dong Yuan knew the character of his grandfather and uncle.If Concubine Sheng and the third prince were selected as queen and prince, the Xue family would not act rashly for the second prince.

But what about the Sheng family?
Thinking of his father-in-law Sheng Changhou, Dong Yuan was not sure.

"Look at the good fortune." The old lady sighed, "Your father-in-law is not someone who gives up easily."

Sure enough, the old Hou Ye and the old lady were also worried about Sheng Changhou.

"It's too early to talk about this now." The old lady sighed, "I don't know if the emperor's throne is safe..."

The old lady also told Dong Yuan about Taifu Xiao's roaring at the court, controlling the government, holding military power, and despising the imperial power.

"Teacher Xiao is like this. It is impossible for the royal family to allow the queen to give birth to a prince. Abandoning the queen is a certainty. If the Xiao family puts all their eggs in one basket, I am afraid that the Xue and Sheng clans will not be able to keep the emperor." The family is harmonious. But once the Taifu Xiao is eliminated, the Empress Xiao is deposed, and the new empress and the prince are still undecided, it may be the time when our two clans will fight hardest. At that time, don’t make your father-in-law and husband suspicious. thing, be careful."

Dong Yuan nodded heavily.

The old lady saw that she was clever and could understand the important affairs of the court, she was very pleased, and said: "Sister Yuan, you are a smart child. Live a good life in the Sheng family, and you will have children and grandchildren in the future. Loyal ministers don't care about two masters, good Women don't marry two husbands, no matter what happens in the future, don't be half-hearted about the Sheng family because of the Xue family."

Dong Yuan promised: "Grandmother, I will do my best to prevent the two clans from becoming enmity. If it is beyond my ability, at least I will not persuade the Sheng family to harm the Xue family."

The old lady laughed.

The grandfather and grandson talked for a long time, and the previous scenes ended one after another. Mrs. Shizi and others came to talk to the old lady again for fun.

Before he knew it, it was the second moment of Shenzheng, and it was time for Dong Yuan to return to Shengchanghou's mansion.

The feast of the old Hou Ye and others in front is also over.

Sheng Xiuyi followed the old Hou Ye back to Rongde Pavilion, but Xue Ziyou, the eldest son, and Xue Ziming, the fifth master, did not follow.

Old Hou Ye laughed loudly: "Heaven is a good drinker, you can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. The boss and the fifth can't drink, they will be as drunk as mud."

The old lady glanced at Sheng Xiuyi who was blushing slightly, nodded and smiled.

Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi resigned from the old Marquis, the old lady, and all members of the Xue family, and returned to Shengchanghou's mansion in a carriage in Youchu.

Sheng Xiuyi drank, although he didn't show his stagger, he was still a little drunk.He didn't ride a horse, and sat in a canopy carriage with Dong Yuan.

"Ah Yuan, you have so many family members." It might be because of drinking, he lost the coldness and solemnity of the previous few days, with a warm smile.

The smell of alcohol on his body was very strong, which made Dong Yuan feel a little uncomfortable, she smiled slightly, and didn't answer Sheng Xiuyi's words.

"Ah Yuan, grandfather is worthy of being an important minister of the three dynasties, his knowledge is beyond the reach of others." He approached Dong Yuan, and smiled in her ear again.

Dong Yuan wanted to move his body, but he grabbed his wrist.

"Grandfather has seen it once, so he can raise you so well." Sheng Xiuyi was very emotional, he held Dong Yuan in his arms, and said softly, "Grandfather said, let me treat his sister Yuan well."

Dong Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, and pushed him: "You drank too much!"

Sheng Xiuyi laughed loudly: "How much wine is it?"

He was obviously drunk, but he still didn't admit it.

Breaking away from his embrace, Dong Yuan hastily brushed her temples, for fear of making a mess and making outsiders laugh that she is not dignified enough.

Sheng Xiuyi also realized her worry and didn't bother her anymore.

Back at Sheng's house, red lanterns were hung at the door, and the butler greeted him personally at the door.

After getting off the carriage and entering the Chuihua Gate of Sheng Mansion, Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi each took a small sedan chair with green curtains and went to Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion.

Sheng Changhou is also there.

Sheng Xiuyi lost the briskness and joy he had when he was in Xue's mansion, he immediately walked steadily, with a deep smile, and respectfully greeted Lord Hou and his wife.

He was that cold and serious son of the Sheng family again.

Dong Yuan saw it in his eyes, and felt a little reluctance in his heart.

Seeing that he smelled of alcohol, Sheng Changhou frowned and said, "If you can't handle the alcohol, don't be brave. If you get drunk, you will lose face to your natal family."

Sheng Xiuyi said yes.

Mrs. Sheng hurriedly said: "The child returns home, and the Xue family is a rich family. Could it be that he dares not eat the toast? Well, well, you two have been tired all day, go back and rest."

As if to save them from the siege.

In front of her new daughter-in-law, Sheng Changhou really didn't give Sheng Xiuyi any face!

Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi greeted Sheng Changhou and Mrs. Sheng, and they came out of Yuanyang Pavilion.

Sheng Xiuyi's good mood when he was in Xue's residence was gone.
