Chapter 93 Divine Mother
A sentence of "wasting a lot of thought" may mean two lives.

That smart and prudent Mrs. Yuan San, that gentle and virtuous Miss Yuan Puying, what happened to make them end up like this?

Do you covet the wealth and splendor of the Sheng family?Do they know that every step of the way in the Sheng family is difficult?

Was it forced by the second master Sheng Xiuhai?After Yuan Tiju passed away, Mrs. Yuan San brought the two young masters and Yuan Puying back to the capital. The people were so cold, and they lost the support of Yuan Tiju, who were originally side branches. Why should the Jianzhaohou Mansion pay more attention to their orphans and widowed mothers?Naturally, they couldn't climb up to the high gate compound built in the Zhaohou Mansion.It is also possible to be reduced to being bullied.

No matter what it is, Miss Yuan and Mrs. Yuan San, who were once praised by the old lady of the Xue family, no longer exist.

Dong Yuan gently put his arms around Sheng Xiuyi's waist, and buried his head in his embrace.

Sheng Xiuyi hugged her, and slid his hand under her skirt.

The next day, Dong Yuan went to pay his respects to Mrs. Sheng, but the Marquis of Sheng Chang hadn't come back yet, and the second master came again early in the morning.He stood in the Dongci room, silent, and only asked Mrs. Sheng to make the decision for him, insisting on marrying Yuan Puying as his equal wife.

The third master of the Sheng family was on duty today, so he went out early.

Sheng Xiuyi didn't need to go to the yamen to ask questions, he accompanied Dong Yuan to greet Mrs. Sheng.

Second Mistress didn't come, Second Miss Sheng Lehui's nanny brought Second Miss here.

Seeing her father standing silently, Sheng Lehui was very puzzled, she stepped forward and took his hand: "Daddy, why are you standing here?" Then she looked at Mrs. Sheng in doubt.

Madam Sheng couldn't bear it, she waved at Sheng Lehui.

Sheng Lehui ran to her grandmother.

Mrs. Sheng held her in her arms and said with a smile: "Sister Hui, you follow your sister and brother to pick some gardenias in the back garden and give them to grandma, okay?" Then she asked Kang's mother, "Our yard is beautiful. Did the gardenias bloom today?"

Mother Kang smiled and said, "It's open early."

"Then you take the three of them!" Mrs. Sheng said with a smile, and handed Sheng Leyun, Sheng Lehui and Sheng Leyu to Mother Kang.

Nine-year-old Sheng Leyun seemed to be able to see the contradictions of adults, and her grandmother asked her to take her younger brother and sister Hui to play in the garden, so she led the excited Sheng Leyu and the bewildered Sheng Lehui, and followed Mother Kang out. Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion.

Mrs. Sheng said to Qin Yi, the cousin who greeted her, "Sister Yi, go back too."

Qin Yi said yes, and hurriedly retreated, very sensible.

When only Sheng Xiuyi and his wife and the second master Sheng Xiuhai were left in the room, Mrs. Sheng sighed and said to Dong Yuan: "Ah Yuan, being a mother is the most difficult thing. A son who is almost thirty is acting like a child. You You have to maintain his dignity and protect his daughter. He has no parents and no children in his eyes, but you have to cover it up for him in every possible way. He may not be grateful for everything you do for him. When you are hypocritical Woolen cloth!"

These words are all for the second master.

The second master knelt down with a plop, "Mother, the child is not filial..."

"That's all!" Before the second master could finish his sentence, Madam Sheng interrupted him, her voice was still gentle, "You didn't come out of my stomach, I didn't work hard to raise you, how can I bear your filial piety?"

After hearing this, the second master kowtowed to Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng leaned on the big ink pillow, as if she couldn't see, she said to Sheng Xiuyi: "Go to the outer courtyard to see if your father has come back, go and find out if he has gone to court. If he has, send a young man to pick him up , let him go down and come back."

Then he said to Dong Yuan, "Ah Yuan, you have something to do in your yard, go back."

Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi said yes, bowed to Mrs. Sheng, and withdrew.

"Master, I'm going back first." Dong Yuan took his maid Qiangwei and broke up with Sheng Xiuyi at the fork in the road.

The master and servant walked back, Qiangwei told Dong Yuan what Dong Yuan asked her to inquire about last night.

"Women who watch the night at the door, from the beginning of Haichu to the beginning of Chen, they can't leave the door for a moment." Qiangwei whispered to Dong Yuan, "This is the rule established by Lord Hou five years ago. Take care, Master Hou will let the guards check at any time, and if they are slow, they will be killed..."

Saying that, Qiangwei trembled in her heart.She paused for a moment before continuing: "After beating seven or eight women to death, everyone dare not be negligent. Over the years, Lord Hou has often checked. The rules set up by the family are a little wrong. Maids and women I don't even need to live..."

Dong Yuan was also shocked when he heard this, and said: "Tell these words to the people in our courtyard later. Although you are my dowry, you are still from the Sheng Mansion. My face is spared, and I will not spare it lightly."

What's more, Dong Yuan felt that Sheng Changhou would not give her face at all.

Taking her way, it can just deter the backyard.

Qiangwei hurriedly said yes.

At noon, Sheng Xiuyi did not come back.

After lunch, Dong Yuan rested for a while, and Sheng Xiuyi's aunt and children came to pay her respects.

The four aunts are gorgeously dressed, and the three children are courteous.

The five-year-old second young master Sheng Leyu held her sister's hand and jumped in lively.He still had the collar Dong Yuan gave him hanging on his neck, with an innocent smile on his pink face, he clumsily saluted Dong Yuan as soon as he entered the door, then threw his head into her arms and called mother sweetly.

The clear eyes and immature voice made Dong Yuan's depressed mood much better for no reason.

"Mother, we picked gardenias." Without waiting for Sheng Leyun to speak, he pointed to the small flower basket in Sheng Leyun's hand and smiled at Dong Yuan.It's very interesting to ask for credit.

"Mother, grandma gave it to you to wear." Sheng Leyun was a little cautious, and handed the small wicker flower basket in front of Dong Yuan.

The flower basket made of fresh wicker was small and exquisite, and full of greenery. Dong Yuan held it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and asked Sheng Leyun, "Who made this basket? It's so beautiful..."

Before Sheng Leyun could answer, Sheng Leyu, who was in Dong Yuan's arms, said first, "The elder sister made it up. Mother, the elder sister can make up a lot of things."

"Really?" Dong Yuan was pleasantly surprised, and asked Sheng Leyun, "What else would you make up?"

Sheng Leyun was a little nervous, she couldn't make up her mind about Dong Yuan's attitude, she didn't know whether her smile was kind or fake, she was speechless for a while.

"Grandma, Missy's wet nurse Mother Dai can weave these, and Missy also learns to weave a few to please Madam. When I grow up, I will learn needlework and weaving. I will no longer do weaving, and I will only weave a few baskets..." Sitting Aunt Tao, who was second on the edge of the kang, got up with a smile and answered for Sheng Leyun.

Sheng Leyun seemed to have met a savior, and hurriedly said: "Yes, mother, I don't do this much now." It seemed that this was not doing a proper job, and she was afraid that Dong Yuan would blame her.

When the eldest lady was hesitating, Aunt Tao opened her mouth decisively and helped the eldest lady make a decision.

Was Sheng Leyun hesitating just now whether she should deny it or should she tell the truth?She wasn't sure whether Dong Yuan was praising her or blaming her, right?
But as soon as Aunt Tao opened her mouth, Sheng Leyun was immediately guided by her, thinking of Dong Yuan's punishment.

This Dow is really amazing!
Thinking about it, Dong Yuan kept smiling, and said to Sheng Leyun: "It's a pity, I still want you to teach me. I heard that people who can weave things are very smart. Sister Yun is really amazing."

Sheng Leyun was a little surprised, her face turned red and she said that her mother was overrated.

"Aunt Tao is very familiar with the eldest lady and the second young master, right?" Dong Yuan asked Tao Shi again with a smile.

Tao Shi smiled and said yes, without any panic on his face, he said: "The Eldest Young Master, Eldest Miss and Second Young Master are all masters, I always pay attention to these, and try my best to serve the masters well."

"Aunt Tao is a caring person." Dong Yuan praised with a smile.

Tao Shi paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's what I should do."

Dong Yuan's smile became more and more gentle, and he said to the other aunts: "Aunt Tao is right, you should also learn, know what should be done and what should not be done, and only by doing your duty well can you serve the master well."

It seemed to be praising Aunt Tao.

Xue Jiangwan, Aunt Shao and Aunt Fan all got up and should do so.

Aunt Tao's expression finally became a little unnatural.Although Dong Yuan's words were sincere, she could hear her sarcasm.She paused in her heart, and her impression of this grandma changed again.A few days ago, when she arranged the day, Aunt Tao thought she would be a human being.Now it seems that he is not only good at being a human being, but also a kind-hearted, smart and kind-hearted person.

Xue Jiangwan and Aunt Shao also thought that Dong Yuan was praising Aunt Tao, and each had their own ideas.

Xue Jiangwan was a little unhappy, she scolded Dong Yuan in her heart for being stupid, for not suppressing this aunt who gave birth to a son and favored her, but still praised her in front of everyone.

Aunt Shao was delighted that Aunt Tao was affirmed by the mistress.

Only the smile in Aunt Fan's eyes narrowed.

The eldest lady Sheng Leyun and the second young master Sheng Leyu didn't understand either, and laughed along with everyone.

The young master Sheng Lehao ​​looked up at Dong Yuan, then quickly lowered his head.

Dong Yuan's eyes flicked past, and he took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and smiled slightly.She asked Qiangwei to distribute the gardenias in the small basket to all the aunts.

Everyone picked one flower and stuck it in their temples.

Only Xue Jiangwan held it in his hand.

Dong Yuan asked her: "Does Aunt Xue not like it?"

Xue Jiangwan smiled and said: "I don't look good, I can't hold flowers, and I wear vulgar fans." She was joking that other aunts are all vulgar fans.

Aunt Shao didn't quite understand, but Tao and Fan could understand.

Aunt Tao naturally remained calm, while the young Aunt Fan had a bit of displeasure on her face.

Dong Yuan smiled and said: "Aunt Xue should wear it. Flower and Hua have the same pronunciation, which means wealth and glory, and it is only for auspiciousness."

The young master Sheng Lehao ​​looked up at Dong Yuan again.

Xue Jiangwan didn't want to disobey again, so he had to stick it on his temples.

After talking for a while, Dong Yuan looked a little tired, so he let them go on their own.

Aunt Tao stood up and said, "Sister, the embroidery on your skirt is really meticulous, can you teach me?"

She has something to say to Dong Yuan alone.

Everyone understood and said goodbye.

Dong Yuan kept Aunt Tao behind.

"It's the son's business." After everyone in the room had gone, when Dong Yuan asked her what was the matter, she smiled softly and told Dong Yuan.
