Chapter 149 Resignation
When returning from Jingsheyuan, Xue Jiangwan walked slowly, and Yinger followed her cautiously.

She seemed to be weak in her feet and walked slowly.

Back in the yard, I saw Aunt Fan and her maid, Yunxiang, doing needlework under the rattan trellis in the courtyard, and brocade burdens were spread on the stone chairs. Aunt Fan was young and lively, and her eyebrows and eyes were flying when they talked and laughed.

Aunt Fan didn't know what to say, and Yunxiang stretched out her hand to pinch her face.

Aunt Fan didn't think it was disobedient, but giggled instead, the two got along like sisters.

For the first time, Xue Jiangwan didn't have the desire to quarrel with Aunt Fan, so he went back to his room.

Aunt Fan looked curiously at Xue Jiangwan, who looked like an eggplant beaten by Qiushuang, and asked Yunxiang, "What's wrong with her? She's half dead..."

Yunxiang hissed, signaling Aunt Fan to stop talking.

Aunt Fan just smiled, said no more, quietly embroidered a silk handkerchief.

Xue Jiangwan didn't take off the beanie on his body, and lay lazily on the kang.Ying'er, Yan'er and Que'er were all afraid of her, and they didn't dare to persuade her from a distance.Seeing her like this, her nurse, Li Mama, covered her with a thin fur.

Xue Jiangwan grabbed Mama Li, sent the maids out, and asked Mama Li, "Am I not looking good?"

Mother Li hurriedly said no, and then worriedly asked: "Auntie, is grandma still angry with you?"

Xue Jiangwan's eyes dimmed.

She really didn't do anything, but when she passed Zhenyuan, she wanted to see Brother Cheng, and deal with Brother Cheng's wet nurse and Mama Xia who was in charge.

She thought about replacing Dong Yuan and becoming the aunt of the yard, but the eldest son of the Sheng family ignored her for a year, and her original ambition was gradually obliterated by the ruthless facts.

Without the love of the eldest son, without a child, what could she use to compete with Dong Yuan?
No, she can't even compete with Dow.

Her background is not as good as that of Tao Shi, but Tao Shi has an advantage over her in everything: Tao Shi gave birth to a son, who was very popular with his wife; From Tao's place, it can be seen that among all the aunts, the eldest son valued Tao's most.

Dong Yuan is right, why is she more honorable than Dow now?

Because she is Teng Yuan's concubine.

If Dong Yuan loses power, she will have nothing!

Now, although the eldest son is not coming, she has no worries about food and clothing, and a few aunts are under her. Compared with the days of boarding in the south, isn't it much better?
All of this was not given to her by the Shizi, but by Xue Dongyuan.

Suddenly figured this out, Xue Jiangwan was unable to cling to the big pillow, and burst into tears.

The enemy she wants to defeat, the direction she has been striving for, is actually the big tree on which she lives.She is like a vine, seemingly climbing very high, only now did she realize that it was the tree that gave her strength and height.If that tree fell, she would fall with it.

She actually relied on Dong Yuan to survive.

And Dong Yuan is the only resistance for her to move forward.

She didn't want to be under others for the rest of her life, so she needed to overthrow Dong Yuan.But Dong Yuan collapsed, and she couldn't survive.Her life has fallen into such a predicament!

Seeing her crying, Mother Li hurriedly persuaded her: "Auntie, don't cry, Auntie..."

Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, Li's mother wiped her tears herself.

Xue Jiangwan felt that he was very sad, and there was no one who cared about himself around him.

Aunt Fan and Yun Xiang are sisters, Shao Zitan and Tao Shi have children, and she is the only one who is lonely and helpless.The only one who keeps her company is her wet nurse, Mama Li.

Weeping and crying, she buried her head on the big pillow and did not move for a long time.

Mother Li was worried and stayed by her side.

After a long time, she raised her eyes and looked at Li's mother with sparkling eyes: "Mom, if I can give birth to a son..."

As she spoke, her eyes were extremely bright.

Li's mother was frightened by her sudden dejection and crying, and suddenly she was radiant, and she didn't know what to say for a long time.

***********
After Xue Jiangwan left, Mother Luo and others came in to serve Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan got up, called Qiangwei, and went to the inner room to talk.

"You are getting older, and you look good. You hired someone earlier, and you feel at ease, so I feel at ease." Dong Yuan pulled Qiangwei and sat beside him, talking to her from the bottom of his heart, "Don't be shy, I'm telling you straight."

Qiangwei's face was flushed red, but she was no longer shy, and murmured: "Grandma, tell me..."

"I don't know what's going on in your heart." Dong Yuan said, "Mama Luo and I have seen four of them. If we talk about the future and stability, Mama Luo and I feel that we are blessed by the side of the Shizi. In the future, the Shizi After becoming a noble, he is probably the chief steward of the outer court, like Lin Jiufu. Although he is not handsome, he is not slick, so you will be the first to marry him."

Qiangwei lowered her head, but her heart was beating bulgingly as if hit by something.

She tried her best to suppress herself, but she still blushed all over her face.

"...But you have to know that if you marry Laifu, you will go out. The mother who is in charge by my side will be like Mother Kang in the future, managing the entire inner house. If Laifu manages the entire outer courtyard again, it would be inappropriate. Proper." Dong Yuan said.

Just like the enterprises of later generations, executives cannot be husband and wife.

If the executives are husband and wife, it is easy to overwhelm the power of the president.

Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi are the masters, and the most trusted people around them are the senior executives of the inner and outer courtyards of the Sheng family.In this era, there is no such thing as a husband and wife being the top stewards of the inner and outer courtyards at the same time.

Hearing these words, Qiangwei was slightly taken aback, and her heart suddenly fell.

She bit her lip and hung her head in silence.

Dong Yuan wanted her to make a choice: would she marry a decent man, and in the future a wife would be expensive by her husband, and she would be honorable by virtue of her status as a man among the servants of the Sheng family; The mother of the chief steward of the inner courtyard is Dong Yuan's assistant.

Whether she wants to be a wealthy wife or a strong woman, Dong Yuan needs to choose for herself.

Before Qiangwei could answer, Dong Yuan continued: "...the other three I saw, one is Zhang Youhong, the little steward in the accountant, fair and handsome, with gentle and shy speech; the other is Huang Wenrong, the little steward in the concierge, clever He can talk, probably thoughtful; there is also Wu Zongnan, the son of Cheng Li's mother in the kitchen, who is also the concierge, and takes care of the men when they go out. Fu is hard to say, the rest are all considerate..."

Qiangwei still hung her head in silence.

Dong Yuan held her hand, said with a smile: "You think about it for two or three days, don't rush to answer me." Then he said, "You haven't been with me for a long time, but you are the most effective at doing things, Qiangwei, I am the You are the same as Ju Hong, Ju Xiang, and Mother Luo. I sincerely hope you are well."

Qiangwei nodded quickly, of course she knew.If it's not for her sincerely, just point her to someone, what can she say?
Asking her in this way means giving her great honor.

"Grandma, I'll tell you tomorrow. I'm going out to do some work first." Qiangwei got up, still bowed her head, bowed to Dong Yuan, and retreated.

After Qiangwei went out, Dong Yuan also left Dongci Room.

After dispatching Xunfang, Biqiu and Yaotao who served Dong Cijian on errands, only mother Luo and Ju Hong were left, Dong Yuan asked, "Did Qiangwei fall in love with Laifu?"

Ju Hong was slightly startled, and said: "Why did she fall in love with Laifu? I saw that Laifu doesn't look good, so dark."

Mother Luo asked Dong Yuan, "What did she tell you?"

Dong Yuan shook his head, and said: "I said Lai Fu first, although she was very ashamed, she looked good; then I said that if it was Lai Fu, at least she would not be able to stay by my side to be in charge, she would not be too happy look; I said three more later, I feel she is absent-minded..."

Mother Luo and Ju Hong were both slightly pensive and did not speak.

In the outer courtyard, Lai Fu, who followed Sheng Xiuyi out, also took the opportunity to ask Sheng Xiuyi what grandma said about it on the carriage back.

Sheng Xiuyi told Lai Fu about Dong Yuan's desire to keep Qiangwei: "...Only Qiangwei is the most comfortable with Grandma. She will be the mother in charge of the inner courtyard in the future, so naturally she cannot match the people around me."

Laifu knew that this was not going to happen.

He was silent for a while, then suddenly said to Sheng Xiuyi: "Master, let me go out!"

Sheng Xiuyi's face fell instantly: "What nonsense!"

For the sake of a woman, don't you even want your future and master?Sheng Xiuyi couldn't help getting angry.

"Master, I've actually thought about this for a long time, and it's not just because of Qiangwei." Seeing Sheng Xiuyi's face darken, Lai Fu quickly explained, "Didn't you say you wanted to stop doing it last time? There is an annual income of 20 taels of silver. No matter what you do in the future, where will you lose money? I will go out and use my real name and surname to manage these businesses. Even if there is an investigation in the future, someone will stand in your way!"

"I saved you because I want you to take the blame for me?" Sheng Xiuyi's voice was unusually cold, like the cold winter wind, making people uncomfortable.

"That's not what I meant..." Lai Fu hurriedly said.

There was silence in the carriage, neither the master nor the servant spoke.

After a while, Sheng Xiuyi asked him: "If there is no such thing as Qiangwei, do you plan to go out?"

Lai Fu thought about it for a long time, and his shoulders were a little slumped: "...I am reluctant to let you leave those businesses. Without the matter of Qiangwei, I also thought about going out. Lord, there is no real money in this world, and it is difficult to move a single step.."

This incident was just an opportunity.

Sheng Xiuyi took a deep breath.

"Qiangwei is not my maid, but grandma's dowry. If you want her, grandma must agree to it." Sheng Xiuyi said after a while, "Grandma has seen several people. If you go out, you may not be able to compare with them, grandma. Not necessarily willing to..."

Isn't Laifu's biggest advantage that he can be the chief steward of the outer courtyard in the future?
Lai Fu looked at Sheng Xiuyi in astonishment.

So, agree to let him go out, agree not to leave those businesses?

He couldn't help being delighted, and said, "You agree with me going out?"

Sheng Xiuyi pondered for a long while before nodding his head slightly: "You are right, the matter of Qiangwei is a good excuse..."

Laifu laughed.

In other words, Qiangwei's business can also be accomplished!Two things in his mind were resolved at once!
How can you be unhappy?
