Chapter 114 Rejection
Xiao Xuanqin and Xue Dongrong saluted everyone in the Xue family.

Of the two of them, Xiao Xuanqin was hungover and staggered slightly; Xue Dongrong was cold and indifferent, staying out of the matter.Different from the noise when Dong Yuan returned to the door, the atmosphere was strangely cold.

The mother-in-law took the futon and asked Xiao Xuanqin and Xue Dongrong to kowtow to the old Hou Ye and the old lady.

Old Hou Ye stood up abruptly, let out a cold snort and left the lobby.

The icy atmosphere suddenly froze.

The old lady also stood up tremblingly, and walked out holding the hand of the servant girl Baojin.

The second wife couldn't help covering her face and weeping, the fourth girl Xue Dongting hurriedly got up to comfort her mother.A man wearing a sky-blue thick gown also stepped forward to persuade the second lady.

He is Xue Huaxuan, Dong Yuan's third cousin, and the second wife's biological son.Because his younger sister Xue Dongrong got married, he rushed back from remote Sichuan.

Seeing such scenes, his face was ashen.

The Shizi sighed, and followed the old Hou Ye out.

Mrs. Shizi had no choice but to follow up to serve the old lady.

There was a lot of chatter in the main hall, some sighed, some sneered, some sympathized with the second lady, and some helped Xue Dongrong who was kneeling.

In the chaos, Xiao Xuanqin slowly possessed himself, and kowtowed three times to the seat where Old Master Xue and the old lady were sitting just now, landing loudly every time.

Dong Yuan's eyes turned to him.

Seen from behind, his back has a sense of similarity.He often went to pay Mrs. Sheng greetings with Sheng Xiuyi, Dong Yuan always walked behind Sheng Xiuyi, and sometimes saw his back inadvertently.

Xiao Xuanqin's back was somewhat similar to Sheng Xiuyi's.

The old Hou Ye and the old lady left, and Xue Dongrong also got up, but he kowtowed to the positions of the old Hou Ye and the old lady.

Looking at a person's conduct mainly depends on what he does and what he does not do.

Knowing that you will return home in three days, if you understand better in your heart, you will hide your clumsiness.No matter how absurd it is, they would not have had fun last night.

Obviously the old marquis and the old lady had already left and left him in the cold, but he still showed the respect his grandson-in-law showed his elders.

Seeing Xiao Xuanqin kowtow, some people in the Xue family rolled their eyes and some sneered, but Dong Yuan felt a little strange in his heart.

This fifth brother-in-law did it on purpose, right?Why did he make this ridiculous gesture?
Do you want to show Master Xue?
Xue Huaxuan, Dong Yuan's third cousin, was thoughtful.

When Xue Dongrong returned home, he ate very depressedly.

At noon the weather became hot again.

After eating, everyone was too lazy to watch the show.The guests this time were all married daughters of Xue's family. The weather was unbearably hot, so everyone went back to their mother's room to enjoy the cool.

Dong Yuan thought that the old lady and the old Hou Ye were angry, and wanted to go and laugh with the old lady and comfort the old man.She first went to pay respects to the fifth master and the fifth lady, and then took Qiangwei to the old lady's Rongde Pavilion.

The Qingwei small oil truck stopped at the gate of Rongde Pavilion, the mother-in-law picked up the little scorpion, Qiangwei got down first, and then helped Dong Yuan get off the car.

The little girl told Grandma Jiugu to see the old lady coming, and Mother Zhan came out to welcome her, saying, "It's such a hot day, Grandma Jiugu is double-bodied, why is she running around? Isn't there a seat at the front?"

Dong Yuan smiled: "The seats in front have been vacated, and the Fangxie listening to the opera is hot again, so everyone dispersed."

Mother Zhan smiled lightly, and asked Dong Yuan to sit in the Dongji room, and asked the little maid to serve Dong Yuan tea, then pointed to the inner room, and asked Dong Yuan to speak softly.

Knowing that the old lady and the old Hou Ye were talking in the inner room, Dong Yuan nodded slightly.

There is ice in the room of Rongde Pavilion, which is much cooler than outside.But Dongyuan and Qiangwei just walked in, and they still kept wiping away their sweat.

Zhan's mother held a snow-colored round fan to blow the wind for Dong Yuan.

Qiangwei stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Mom, let the servants come."

Mother Zhan didn't argue with Qiangwei, and gave her the fan, then lowered her voice and smiled at Dong Yuan: "Grandma Jiugu, the longer Qiangwei grows, the better..."

Qiangwei blushed slightly.

However, Dong Yuan seemed to hear some implication.

She was pregnant, and her concubine Teng was not liked by Sheng Xiuyi.I don't want other aunts to take advantage of her pregnancy, so it's time to arrange a room.

Mother Zhan doesn't mean that, does she?

If Mother Zhan meant this, it was the old lady who let her know.When Dong Yuan married into the Sheng family, they wanted Qiangwei to be Teng's concubine.

"Qiangwei's appearance is getting better and better." Dong Yuan laughed softly.

Mother Zhan glanced at Dong Yuan, but said nothing.

The maid lifted up the felt curtain, and the old Hou Ye came out from the inner room, his face was already calm, without the anger he had in the main hall.

Qiangwei helped Dong Yuan get off the kang, and saluted him.

Old Hou Ye saw her and smiled: "The table is over?"

Dong Yuan said yes.

"Sit with your grandmother, and go back when the weather gets colder." Old Hou Ye reminded, turned around and left Rongde Pavilion.

Dong Yuan and Zhan's mother entered the inner room.

The old lady waved at Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan sat beside her.

"It's such a hot day, I shouldn't have come here, what if I'm pregnant?" The old lady rubbed her with a kind smile.

"It's okay, just take a car and walk a few steps." Dong Yuan smiled.

The old lady asked her if she felt unwell in the past few days, etc., and said: "Tell your mother-in-law earlier, let her send a mother who knows how to give birth to be by your side."

"Mother Luo gave birth to two sons and a daughter, so she knows better than the mother in charge of childbirth." Dong Yuan laughed.

The old lady groaned, remembering something, and asked Mother Zhan about Mother Luo: "Did grandma take care of Grandma when she gave birth to Sister Rui?"

Mother Zhan smiled: "Isn't it? You said that she gave birth to three children, and she was never sick or ill. She was a caring person, so you sent her to take care of the eldest grandma. You also want her to be Rui's wet nurse. .”

The old lady suddenly realized, she laughed and said: "Yes, yes, I remembered."

Before Luo's mother was assigned to Dong Yuan, she almost became the wet nurse of Xue's eldest granddaughter?
Dong Yuan was astonished.

It is an extremely high honor to be a wet nurse for the eldest granddaughter of the Xue family; it is tantamount to demoting her to be the mother in charge of Dong Yuan six years ago if she goes out of the old lady's house.

This is the difference between heaven and earth.

At that time, Luo's mother could not foresee that Dong Yuan would be favored in the future, how could she be willing?

One is the wet nurse of the eldest granddaughter of the Xue family, she should be a more honorable wet nurse in the next generation of the Xue family, and has a bright future;

Most people will choose the former, right?

Luo's mother has never shown dissatisfaction in front of Dong Yuan, and she does her best to Dong Yuan.

If the old lady hadn't mentioned it today, Dong Yuan wouldn't have known about the past at all.

Dong Yuan was about to ask what was going on, but the old lady had already sighed and said: "... She knelt in front of me, saying that she was not blessed to be the nurse of the young lady, crying. Ask her what, but she can't tell, she is an honest person. .Later, I kept it for two years before giving it to Sister Yuan."

Mother Zhan nodded and said with a smile: "The old lady still has such a good memory."

Mother Luo doesn't want to go?
"Why don't you want to?" Dong Yuan asked, "Isn't it a good thing to be a wet nurse for Sister Rui?"

Mother Zhan rushed ahead of the old lady and said with a smile: "No, everyone said it was a good thing at the time, but she didn't want it. Grandma Jiugu, this is the fate between you and Mother Luo."

It seems impossible to say.

Dong Yuan just smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

Sit at the old lady's place all afternoon.

On the way, Mrs. Shizi brought her second sister Xue Dongyu to greet the old lady.Baojin went out and said that the old lady was not feeling well, and Grandma Jiugu was with her, and asked Mrs. Shizi and Grandma Ergu to go back first.

Later, Madam Shizi went to inform everyone, and no one came to bid farewell to the old lady.

And the old lady didn't mention Fifth Miss Xue Dongrong and Fifth Young Master Xiao Xuanqin.

Dong Yuan naturally did not dare to mention it.

As the sun sinks to the west, it casts shadows through the tall trees in the courtyard, and Rongde Pavilion is shaded by dark green and green.The bell on the wall rings, and it has been confirmed.

The old lady knew that Dong Yuan had to set rules in front of her mother-in-law, and she couldn't go back late, so she asked Mother Zhan to send Dong Yuan and Qiangwei out.

Before leaving, the old lady rewarded Qiangwei with a gold hairpin cut out with gold thread, and told her to serve Dong Yuan well.

Qiangwei took it, and after thanking the old lady, she followed Dong Yuan out of Rongde Pavilion.

On the carriage back to the Marquis of Shengchang, Dong Yuan asked Qiangwei: "Do you know why Mother Luo didn't serve as a wet nurse for Sister Rui back then?"

She was still thinking about it, but put the old lady's hint about Qiangwei behind her.

Dong Yuan will not arrange Qiangwei to sleep with her.

Because even if she was pregnant, Sheng Xiuyi's concubine would have no chance to take advantage of her.As Sheng Xiuyi's concubine, Shao Zitan has been by his side for more than ten years, Tao's for six or seven years, and Fan's for two years.If he liked someone, he would have loved him long ago, and he would have had children long ago.

She and Sheng Xiuyi are not newlyweds.

Besides, before she gave birth to Lin'er, Sheng Xiuyi might not be able to return from the northwest...

Might not even come back....
She hurriedly typed out her thoughts, not daring to think deeply.

When Qiangwei saw Dong Yuan asking her about Mother Luo, she smiled and said, "Grandma, Miss Rui is almost eight years old. It was eight years ago that I chose a nanny for her. I was only seven or eight years old at the time, and I lived in the old lady's hospital. I'm in charge of making tea, how can I know why Mama Luo doesn't work as a nurse for Miss Rui? Why don't you go back and ask Mama Luo. "

Dong Yuan couldn't help but laugh when she heard that, she was indeed looking far away.

Qiangwei paused, and said to Dong Yuan: "Grandma, the third young master has returned from Sichuan..."

Dong Yuan looked at her puzzled.

Qiangwei was a little embarrassed: "Grandma may have forgotten, I mentioned to grandma that my elder brother was served by the third young master of the second bedroom, and then the whole family went to Sichuan with the third young master. I watched the third young master come back, I Eldest brother probably returned to Shengjing too. Grandma, I want to take a day off with you and go back tomorrow to visit my brother and sister-in-law, who haven't seen each other for many years."

Dong Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, you can go tomorrow, stay for one night and come back."

Qiangwei shook her head and said with a smile: "Grandma is pregnant, and only I know about the whole yard. Others don't take good care of her, so I won't feel at ease when I go back. I'll go back in the morning and come back in the afternoon."

Dong Yuan couldn't help laughing: "You can go back to reunite with your siblings at ease, I still have Mama Luo and Juhongjuxiang..."

Qiangwei saw that what Dong Yuan said was very sincere and it was her great kindness, so she no longer declined and thanked Dong Yuan.

　Not today.I have something to do today, and I will compensate you more tomorrow, good night dears~~
