Chapter 79 Arrangement
Originally returning home happily, Sheng Xiuyi chatted with his grandfather, very happy.But because of Sheng Changhou's words, his mood plummeted. When he returned to Jingsheyuan, his steps were very fast, and Dong Yuan and Qiangwei had to trot to keep up with him.

Back at Jingsheyuan, he went to the clean room to wash up, and Dong Yuan arranged for Ziwei and Honglian to be on duty tonight.

After he finished grooming, Dong Yuan went to groom himself.

Coming out of the clean room, I saw Sheng Xiuyi leaning on the bedside reading a book, Dong Yuan sitting in front of the dowry, and Ziwei helping her distribute it.After they were done, Ziwei withdrew.

Dong Yuan glanced at the eyelid, with a strange expression on his face.Ziwei is on duty tonight.

She thought of Qiangwei's expression this morning, and felt embarrassed.Really want her maids to stay on duty at night and listen to everything between them and their husbands and wives?
It's scary just thinking about it.

Sheng Xiuyi raised his eyes, not knowing what Dong Yuan was thinking, he could only see her staring blankly at the shaking curtain.

He whispered: "Does your maid also practice martial arts?"

Dong Yuan regained consciousness, and knew that Sheng Xiuyi was talking about Ziwei.He practiced martial arts by himself, and he could see that the steps of martial arts practitioners were different from ordinary people.The maids at home require their steps to be light when they walk, but Ziwei's steps are so light that they land almost silently.

Sheng Xiuyi noticed it once the day before yesterday, secretly paying attention.It was just now that the inner room was quiet, and when Ziwei walked out, there was no sound at all.

Sheng Xiuyi affirmed his judgment.

"She was bought from outside. She has only been in the mansion for two years. She is Qiangwei's god-sister." Dong Yuan explained to Sheng Xiuyi, and added, "Qiangwei said she is very nice."

Sheng Xiuyi could see that Dong Yuan trusted the maid named Qiangwei very much, so he didn't say anything, and continued to read with his head buried.

Dong Yuan went straight to bed, put down the curtain, and lay down outside.Sheng Xiuyi put a ram's horn lantern inside, and read a book by the dim light.

Dong Yuan could still smell the scent of wine that hadn't dissipated from him.

Seeing that Dong Yuan fell asleep, he put down his book and turned off the small lamp in the bed.

The curtain instantly went dark.

"Mrs. Shan Guogong, is Concubine Xue's younger sister?" Sheng Xiuyi asked Dong Yuan, as if looking for a topic to get close to her, "I paid my respects to Empress Dowager in the Forbidden Palace, and once met Concubine Xue, they are very similar... ..."

Mrs. Shan Guogong refers to Xue Dongyu, the uncle's second daughter and Dong Yuan's second cousin.

"It's the younger sister." Dong Yuan laughed, "Last June, when the old Duke Shan Guo died, the second brother-in-law only became a nobleman. The family used to refer to the second sister, but only the wife of the son of Duke Shan Guo. You suddenly said Mrs. Shan Guogong , I thought about it before turning the corner."

She seemed to say more nonsense on purpose to soothe his depression.

While the two were talking, Sheng Xiuyi naturally hugged her in his arms, stretched his hand along the skirt of her clothes to her back, and stroked her gently.

In this way, making intimacy a lot more natural.

After he drank the wine, there was an intoxicating aroma between his lips and teeth, and his palms were scorching hot.

Dong Yuan grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"You five, are you the eldest daughter?" Sheng Xiuyi's voice was soft and ambiguous, "Concubine Shu's appearance is somewhat similar to yours, but her eyes are ordinary, not as charming as yours..."

Concubine Shu, are you talking about her eleventh sister Xue Dongshu?

He said she has beautiful eyes.

Dong Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "You are making fun of me. Others say that the eyes are like a fox, they are too charming and easy to be frivolous."

Sheng Xiuyi couldn't help laughing, and said: "Nonsense! Ah Yuan won't be frivolous."

He turned and pressed her down.

Not long after, the bed curtain swayed, and there was a slight panting that made people blush and heartbeat.

Dong Yuan tried her best to suppress herself, she didn't want Ziwei to hear it, it was too embarrassing.

Sheng Xiuyi ignored her and took her beauty.

After using the water and lying down, Dong Yuan felt his body aches badly.Looking at Sheng Xiuyi who had already fallen asleep, she couldn't help thinking, will this always be like this in the future?
She was in excruciating pain every time.

Soon, Dong Yuan realized that her worry was too much.

After saying hello the next morning, the mother-in-law left her alone to talk.

"Brother Yi and daughter-in-law, now that you have passed through the door, you should take care of everything in the son's house. Otherwise, there will be no regulations, and it will be out of order." Mrs. Sheng said to Dong Yuan in a soft voice.

Something about the room?

Isn't it just about the concubine's room?
On the wedding ceremony on the second day of the wedding, Dong Yuan blocked Wugu's grandma with a word, and her mother-in-law was very happy.Dong Yuan guessed that her mother-in-law was very gentle and honest, and often fell behind others, so she hoped that her daughter-in-law would be more alert and not be bullied.

Dong Yuan smiled and said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law is only in front of my grandmother at home. My daughter-in-law is not very clear about how the mother and eldest aunt will manage the house. I ask mother to help the daughter-in-law to make an idea on how to arrange for the aunts in the house."

The Chen family has been gone for three or four years, how will Sheng Xiuyi's aunts arrange it? Could it be that Aunt Tao is in charge?
Judging by Aunt Tao's cautious temperament, it shouldn't be.

That was naturally arranged by my mother-in-law.

Mrs. Sheng saw that Dong Yuan's mind was spinning quickly. She mentioned something, and Dong Yuan understood, which saved her a lot of words and energy. This aunt is in charge. But when you are new here, Mother will not make things difficult for you, she will make an arrangement for you, just see how it goes."

Dong Yuan hurriedly listened attentively, and said that there was an arrangement for Lao Niang.

"Aunt Xue is your concubine Teng, far more noble than other concubines; Aunt Tao is a concubine to marry, no more than Aunt Shao and Aunt Fan; Aunt Fan was forced by King Xingping to the eldest son, he is not very I like it, but when my aunt comes in, a bowl of water has to be leveled. In this way, every month, Aunt Xue’s room will be arranged for four days, Aunt Tao’s three days, and Aunt Shao’s and Aunt Fan’s two days each. What do you think?” Mrs. Sheng smiled gently. with.

The mother-in-law asked her what she thought.

Dong Yuan felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

She thought of Sheng Xiuyi who pretended to be indifferent in front of outsiders, but caring and gentle in front of her. Although he was much older than Dong Yuan, he was like a big boy.

But before he got married, he knew that he had a concubine; one of his noble concubines was brought over by himself from his natal family.I just feel unhappy now, isn't it too hypocritical?
Besides, he was gentle and considerate in front of her, how could he not be in front of aunts?

The sadness was gone in an instant, Dong Yuan smiled and said: "After the daughter-in-law went back, she asked Qiangwei to inquire about the little days of the aunts, then arrange a specific date, and report to the mother later."

Madam Sheng's smile became more gentle, thinking in her heart, Mrs. Xue is indeed worthy of Madam Xue's liking, she is really smart, if she has such a granddaughter, she will also like it very much.When Mrs. Sheng said one sentence, Xue Dongyuan could think of three sentences, which made Mrs. Sheng very rare for this daughter-in-law.

"Stagger your own little days first. If you have conflicts with your aunts, it's nothing to make them feel wronged. You are the mistress, and giving birth to Lin'er early is a major clan event." Mrs. Sheng warned.

This sentence alone made Dong Yuan's heart warm.

Even if Mrs. Sheng's motive is to want a grandson, Dong Yuan can still see her mother-in-law's acceptance of her as an outsider from this maintenance.

Some things are easy to think of, but difficult to sit up.Just like for an outsider like a daughter-in-law, it is easy to get close to her, but it takes time to really plan everything for her.This is what develops feelings.

But it had only been four days since she entered the house, and her mother-in-law favored her.

She looks seductive, and when her husband helped her speak, her mother-in-law didn't pull her face and call her a vixen, Dong Yuan was already very grateful; now that she hears these words again, the sadness in her heart just now has long since disappeared.

In this day and age, marriage has nothing to do with love.

Marriage is the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents, either for the benefit of the clan, or for the political future.Her marriage was a helpless political marriage.

Mother-in-law is naturally aware of the severe conflicts.

Treating her coldly, using her mother-in-law airs to teach her a lesson, what can Dong Yuan do?

Before entering the door, she also thought about trying her best to please her mother-in-law.She even thought of a whole set of plans, how to get her mother-in-law's favor.

As everyone knows, her mother-in-law is kind-hearted.Her methods have not yet been used, and her mother-in-law is already affectionate and kind to her.

Perhaps, when the mother-in-law came in, she was made things difficult by the grandmother-in-law, so she knew how sad it was, so she specially treated Dong Yuan with more courtesy, right?
Not wanting to let down her mother-in-law's love, Dong Yuan asked Qiangwei to ask each aunt for her letter date when she returned to Jingsheyuan.

Coincidentally, several aunts are in the first and middle ten days of each month, and Dong Yuan's monthly letter is also in the first ten days of each month.If she ranks the life of her aunts in the first and middle ten days, she is afraid that there will be complaints in the back house.Compared with them, she has more days in a month, so she simply discussed with Qiangwei, and the days of the aunts are connected.

"They are not in the letter period at the end of each month. The 21th and 24th of each month are the days of Aunt Fan; the 25st to 27th are the days of Aunt Xue; the 28th to 29th are the days of Aunt Tao; [-]. [-] belongs to Aunt Shao. You go and tell them respectively." Dong Yuan asked Qiangwei to bring a pen, and she wrote it down by herself, and then went to inform the aunts.

The nineteenth of every month happens to be the day after Aunt Fan's little day, and she is very happy.

Although the other aunts did not have such a coincidence, they were not deliberately arranged by Dong Yuan, and they did not hold any resentment.

Dong Yuan's kindness is her first impression on the aunts.

In the evening, I told Sheng Xiuyi about this matter, and also told him about the lives of the aunts in detail, and said: "I will also tell Honglian and Lvli to remind Shi Ziye when the day comes. I will also help me to write it down."

After hearing this, Sheng Xiuyi's expression fell slightly.

Sitting on the kang, he was silent for a while before he said: "Don't wait for the time being, let's talk about it when you are healthy."

Dong Yuan was horrified, and hurriedly said: "No way!"

Sheng Xiuyi raised his eyes to look at her, with fear and reluctance in his eyes.

Seeing Dong Yuan's face change slightly, Sheng Xiuyi knew that this was arranged by her mother.Dong Yuan has already made arrangements, so naturally he told his mother.

Now that I am repenting, my mother must think that it was Dong Yuan who acted the same way to the face and behind the scenes, and urged her husband to neglect the concubine's room and alienate his mother. In addition to the fact that he spoke for Dong Yuan in front of the mother a few days ago, I am afraid that the mother will be in trouble from now on. I am cold-hearted towards this duplicity daughter-in-law.

If the mother-in-law doesn't like it, life will be difficult.

Seeing Dong Yuan's frightened face, Sheng Xiuyi could only say: "Then do as you say."
