Chapter 92

Going back from Second Grandma's Xiguiyuan, Qiangwei knocked on the door along the way, and had to bother the mother who was watching the night, luckily she brought a purse with her.

Along the way, about two taels of silver were sent away.

When he was about to reach the gate of Jingshe Courtyard, Dong Yuan suddenly stopped, staring blankly at the dark courtyard behind him.

Qiangwei and Ziwei followed behind her, looking at Dong Yuan puzzled.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" Qiangwei asked worriedly.

Dong Yuan pointed to the way they came, and said to Qiangwei: "Qiangwei, we came back so quickly..."

Qiangwei was a little puzzled, she didn't understand Dong Yuan's meaning.

"If you talk about the housekeeper, Madam's character is soft, she is probably not as good as our old lady of the Xue family. But after the key of our Xue family is locked down at night, the women must have gone to play cards, drink, and chat. As long as the time of opening and closing the door in the morning and evening is not delayed, the old man People don't care about them, who will always guard the door? But look at the Sheng family, when we came back from Xiguiyuan, we knocked on the door for only a moment, and someone answered." Dong Yuan sighed slightly, "The inner house of the Sheng family is really well managed. Yan..."

When Qiangwei and Ziwei heard it, it was true.

"That's right, the servants of the Sheng family are more restrained than ours." Qiangwei smiled, "It's a good thing to have rules, grandma."

It is indeed a good thing to have rules, but the rules are so strict, isn't it like a court under high pressure and terror?
Can such a rule really last long?

Only when there are rewards and punishments, when there is relaxation and relaxation, can people take a breather!

And isn't the management of the inner courtyard of the Sheng family somewhat militarized?
Marquis Sheng Chang actually manages these matters in the inner court, and manages them so strictly that he trains his servants to be as disciplined as soldiers.

There must be resentment in the hearts of the servants.

Dong Yuan thought of his second grandmother, Ge Shi, who said just now: "When you have children, you will know that the Sheng family has no good things..." Was she talking about her father-in-law, Sheng Changhou?

Dong Yuan shuddered.

"Qiangwei, go secretly and find out what the rules are for the women who watch the night at the corner gate." Dong Yuan turned and went back to Jingsheyuan, and told Qiangwei.

Rose said yes.

Ziwei on the side is still like a transparent person, she is silent, and Dong Yuan never asks her anything.

After Dong Yuan washed, Qiangwei helped her distribute it.The chiming clock on the wall was ticking, and it was already Zichu.

Qingsi spread out, Qiangwei helped make the bed, and asked her: "Grandma, are you resting now?"

"I'll be waiting for your son, you go first." Dong Yuan sat on the big kang by the window, pulled over the big silver and red embroidered peony-embroidered pillow that stood beside the board wall, and reclined.

Qiangwei covered her with a thin fur, and then retreated outside to rest.

Dong Yuan took the "Six Secret Teachings" that Sheng Xiuyi put on the kang table and read it from the front to the back. They were Wen Tao, Wu Tao, Long Tao, Hu Tao, Leopard Tao, and Dog Tao. Tao began to read.It's been a few years since she came to this world, and she has been specially taught by Xibin. She can't recite poems, compose fu, and can't write stereotyped essays, but there is no obstacle to reading.

Among the six Taoists, Quantao is commanding the army, as if planning a strategy. Dong Yuan just read half a page, and heard Qiangwei's voice from outside the curtain to Sheng Xiuyi.

She got up and got off the kang, and Sheng Xiuyi had already entered.

Dong Yuan greeted him, and asked, "Has the second master gone back? Is mother okay?"

Sheng Xiuyi said vaguely that he would pay it back, and went to clean the room.

Qiangwei arranged for Honglian and Lvli to serve outside.

By the time he washes up properly, he is already upright.

After Sheng Xiuyi blew the lamp and went to bed, Dong Yuan put down the curtain, and said to him after lying down: "I sent my second younger sibling back, but she didn't cry anymore."

Sheng Xiuyi hummed lightly.

Dong Yuan saw that he didn't want to talk more, so she didn't ask any more, and closed her eyes to cultivate sleep.

But Sheng Xiuyi stretched out his hand, lifted her quilt, hugged her in his arms, rested his chin on her head, and said after a long while: "The matter of the second younger brother will be discussed when Daddy comes back tomorrow. Today is Uncle Yongning's." On the day when mother was full of clothes, daddy went to give gifts. Dad and Uncle Yongning are best friends, and the two are the most flirtatious, and they will not come home until they are drunk, so I'm afraid they will rest in Uncle Yongning's mansion."

Seeing that he seemed to want to talk to her, Dong Yuan greeted her lightly, and then asked: "Who does the second master want to marry as a wife? Why didn't you hear any rumors before?"

Sheng Xiuyi's hand gently stroked her blue hair, but his voice was a little cold: "He never wanted to marry anyone as a wife. We have a concubine and a third prince in our family. Dad is always cautious. Second brother knows it. It is impossible to agree that he is broken. Gang often married two concubines. He just wanted to take a noble concubine."

Dong Yuan was astonished.

Is this worth it?
Seeing her doubts, Sheng Xiuyi explained: "He has always had such a temperament since he was a child, and he always leaves a way out. If he said he wanted to take a noble concubine at the beginning, but his family disagreed, there would be no room for bargaining. He said first that he wanted to marry an ordinary wife. , the family disagreed, and he made a fuss again, and only said to accept a noble concubine after the quarrel, so naturally there would be no hindrance."

Dong Yuan understands this.

Just like a vendor in a small market, a trinket of 20 yuan is offered at 50 yuan, and at the end of the bargain, the customer bought it for [-] yuan and felt that he had made a profit.

The second master Sheng Xiuhai has a business mind.

Dong Yuan laughed: "Second Master is very smart..."

Sheng Xiuyi snorted coldly: "It's really smart!" His tone was very unpleasant.

Dong Yuan knew that his joke was inappropriate, so he quickly suppressed his smile and said: "Mother knows his tricks, so why delay with him?"

But Ge Shi, who is the second mistress, doesn't seem to know.She cried and cried, making Mrs. Sheng upset, and Mrs. Sheng had no choice but to ask Sheng Xiuyi and Dong Yuan to reconcile.

Before the second mistress left, she said "Mother, please say something", probably because Mrs. Sheng has not expressed her position since the second master said that he would marry a flat wife?

Gentleness is sometimes a sharp weapon.

"Father needs to decide this matter. If he knelt down in front of mother, mother would not promise him anything. If father disagrees, mother will bear it for him." Sheng Xiuyi's voice softened, and he kissed her. Sideburns, "Ah Yuan, our family's affairs are all decided by dad."

It even includes things in the inner courtyard.

Dong Yuan had an inexplicable conflict in his heart towards his father-in-law, Sheng Changhou.Her grandfather Zhen Xianhou never intervened in the affairs of the inner house, and the Xue family was also prosperous.

But the Marquis of Shengchang controls everywhere, and the heirs of the Sheng family are strangely weak.

"Tianhe, won't daddy allow the second master to marry a noble concubine?" Dong Yuan raised his eyes and asked Sheng Xiuyi, "Who does the second master want to marry, and it must be a noble concubine?"

If Marquis Sheng Chang would agree, Second Lord Sheng Xiuhai would not force Mrs. Sheng to express his opinion like that.

The second master could have guessed that Sheng Changhou would not agree.

It's just marrying a concubine, but the second master actually spent so much effort, fighting with his aunt and father.

Sheng Xiuyi paused for a moment, then said: "Whether Daddy agrees or not is the second, and whether he is willing to marry is the key."

Dong Yuan was astonished.

She didn't understand where the second master sang.

"Do you know Jian Zhaohou Yuan's family?" Sheng Xiuyi asked Dong Yuan.

Of course Dong Yuan knew, she said: "Jianzhaohou Yuan's family and my natal family are good friends, Jianzhaohou's Mrs. Tai who went first had frequent contacts with my grandmother, Jianzhaohou's wife Chen Shi is even close friends with my eldest aunt, Move around frequently." She thought for a while, and then said, "Second Master doesn't want to marry Miss Seven of Jianzhaohou's Mansion, does he?"

She said, she didn't believe it.Even if the second master had no knowledge, he would never have thought of beating Miss Jian Zhaohou's Mansion.

Except for Miss Seven, there are no other girls in the Marquis Jianzhao Mansion who are waiting to be married.

Sheng Xiuyi said: "Of course not." Then he said, "Marquis Jianzhao has a side brother who used to be a Jiangning Salt Division Commissioner. He died of illness last year, do you know?"

Dong Yuan paused slightly.

She really does.

In the twelfth lunar month of last year, Mrs. Yuan San took her daughter Yuan Puying to visit Mrs. Xue, who was recommended by Dong Yuan.Mrs. Yuan San's husband is Jiangning Salt Division Tiju, and Dongyuan's father Xue Ziming was a classmate and good friend of the Imperial College when they were studying.

Yuan Puying?
"It's her?" Dong Yuan frowned, and told Sheng Xiuyi about Yuan Tiju's wife's visit to Mrs. Xue, and said in surprise, "...Second Lord wants to marry her? She is a young lady from a scholarly family, how could she give Our family is a concubine? Besides, she was born in September, and she is under 15 years old."

At that time, Mrs. Xue asked Yuan Puying's age, and Dong Yuan was on the side. She remembered Mrs. Yuan San said that Yuan Puying was born in September in the same year as Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan will be 15 years old this Spring Festival, so Yuan Puying won't turn up until September.

Hearing Dong Yuan say that Yuan Puying is a young lady from a scholarly family, Sheng Xiuyi paused, and then said: "She is pregnant with the flesh and blood of her second brother..."

Dong Yuan was shocked, but couldn't speak anymore.

She still remembered that when she first met Yuan Puying, she was a gentle and shy, shy and frail little girl with a coquettish attitude, how could she...

It's less than half a year away.

"The second brother's family has few heirs. The second brother and sister have been in the house for eight years, but there is only one sister Hui. The two aunts have not been moved, and the same is true for the two housemates. Now that Miss Yuan's family has his flesh and blood, our family naturally wants to marry him. However, Jian Zhaohou took her back to Jianzhaohou's mansion. Jianzhaohou's mansion has already announced that if it is not Ping's wife, this matter should be brought to His Majesty." Sheng Xiuyi sighed heavily, "But our family, it is impossible Agree to marry a flat wife. When Dad comes back tomorrow, the family is afraid..."

The Marquis of Shengchang is afraid that he will punish the second master Sheng Xiuhai, and there will be another disturbance in the family.

Miss Pangzhi of Jian Zhaohou Mansion is also related to the reputation of Jian Zhaohou Mansion.If she became a concubine to the Sheng family, people who don't know why would think that the Marquis of Jianzhao was currying favor with the Marquis of Shengchang, selling her daughter for glory.

The Yuan family of the Marquis of Jianzhao undoubtedly favored the Xue family of the Zhenxian Marquis rather than the Sheng family politically.

In the future, if there is a battle for the position of crown prince, and Yuan Puying, a concubine, is in the Sheng family, Jian Zhaohou's attitude will become unclear.If he wanted to become a henchman of Zhenxian Hou Xue's family, it would be impossible for him to marry a side branch's prostitute daughter to the Sheng family as a concubine.

Yuan Puying was taken to the Jianzhaohou Mansion, so she and the unborn child might not survive.

Dong Yuan looked at the blurry ceiling, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

Sheng Xiuyi asked her: "What are you thinking?"

Dong Yuan asked him back: "What do you think?"

Sheng Xiuyi paused, and then said: "Jianzhaohou and your family are close friends..." After a pause, he said, "Second Brother, I'm afraid it will be a waste of time."

He also felt that neither the woman nor the unborn child would survive?
