Chapter 155 Decision
The teacup in Sheng Changhou's hand knocked heavily on the Kang table, the tea splashed out, and the corner of Mrs. Sheng's sapphire blue Babao Bentu Fu skirt was wet.

"You bastard!" Sheng Changhou scolded angrily, "When your old man and mother are gone, you can decide on your own marriage! Get out!"

Sheng Xiumu was taken aback by Sheng Changhou, and looked at Mrs. Sheng anxiously, wanting to ask Mrs. Sheng for help.

His mother, who always loved him, lowered her eyes and didn't look at him.

His father's fury made him dare not stay any longer, he got up to salute Sheng Changhou and Mrs. Sheng, and reluctantly withdrew.

Sheng Changhou was so angry that he cursed: "What is the system? Marriage has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. It is the rule of which family to say who you want to marry?"

Sheng Changhou took the rules very seriously.

Madam Sheng comforted him with a smiling face: "Brother Mu is ignorant, so Master Hou just scold him. Don't get mad at yourself."

Then he called Citron, and asked Sheng Changhou to make another cup of tea.

Sheng Changhou was angry for a while, and glanced at the chiming clock, it was the first day of Hai.

He stood up, and Mrs. Sheng said: "I have some papers to read, so I'll go over there. You should rest first." Today is the day to rest in Second Aunt Lin's mother's room.

Mrs. Sheng said yes.

Sheng Changhou first went to the small study in Yuanyang Pavilion.

He read the booklets until Haizheng, and then went to Second Aunt Lin's yard.

After Sheng Changhou left, Mrs. Sheng ordered the courtyard door to be closed, and she also took a rest, letting Kang Mama accompany her to sleep on the footstep of the mother-of-pearl bed.

"The older the child, the more I can't understand it." After lying down, Mrs. Sheng said to Kang's mother, "In the first month of last year, when the Holy Majesty bestowed a marriage on Brother Mu, he never mentioned Sister Yi at all. Now that Sister Yi is about to kiss, he just said that. Tell me, what is he thinking?"

Mother Kang was shocked.

She understood what Mrs. Sheng wanted to say, but she couldn't say it out of her mouth, so she smiled and said: "At that time, the marriage was granted by imperial decree. Brother Mu has always been sensible, so why would he mention those words about the love of his children? Now that the Xiao family has been defeated, the marriage It is also imminent, so it is natural to mention it."

Mrs. Sheng shook her head: "That's not the case! He wasn't unhappy when the imperial decree granted the marriage. But Sister Yi..." Mrs. Sheng carefully recalled what happened after Sheng Xiumu bestowed the marriage on the first month of last year, "... Is she sick? one time?"

Mother Kang thought about it, and said: "I caught wind and cold in the first month, and I was sick for a few days."

Mrs. Sheng thought about it for a while, and then said: "I also lost a lot of weight, and then gradually got better. She is always silent, and I didn't think about it."

Kang's mother hurriedly said: "Madam, you are overthinking. Who is sick, don't you need to reduce it?"

"I hope." Mrs. Sheng sighed for a long time and stopped talking.

Her heart sank a little.If Brother Mu and Sister Yi were on good terms long ago, what did Brother Mu think when they bestowed the marriage?

Does he think that Sister Yi is a commoner girl, and it will be enough to give her a noble concubine in the future?
Mrs. Sheng felt a little cold when she thought about it.The children have grown up and are no longer innocent and innocent. They have learned all the good and bad things in this world and have their own opinions.Compared with Sheng Xiuyi who grew up in Huizhou, when Brother Mu was born, his father was named a marquis.

He was a child of the Hou family since he was a child, and he also made friends with heirs of prominent families.

His heart may be different from that of Mrs. Sheng, who was born in a rural gentry in Huizhou.

Now Qin Yi was going to say kiss, but also to Hou Men, but he suddenly said this.

Because of this incident, Mrs. Sheng didn't sleep well all night.

The next day, Marquis Sheng Chang ate breakfast in the house of Second Aunt Lin, and went to court, and Sheng Xiumu was also on duty.

Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi were still the first to come to pay their respects.

Mrs. Sheng's complexion was not very good, she said to Dong Yuan: "Ah Yuan, you still have something to do in the yard, so go back first. Brother Yi, please accompany your mother to talk."

Dong Yuan has been married for so long, Mrs. Sheng never hides from her anything, but this time she let her avoid it.

She was taken aback for a moment, hurriedly said yes, and retreated first.

After Dong Yuan left, Mrs. Sheng asked Kang's mother, Xiang Rong, and Xiang Ru to go out, and said: "If Second Grandma and Miss Biao come, just say that I'm not feeling well, and I haven't gotten up yet."

Mother Kang said yes.

Sheng Xiuyi looked at Mrs. Sheng's expression, and asked worriedly: "Mother, what happened?"

Mrs. Sheng got up and let the inner room go.

Sheng Xiuyi hurriedly followed in.

The mother and son sat on the big kang by the window in the inner room, Mrs. Sheng turned her face away, and asked Sheng Xiuyi: "When will Brother Mu and Sister Yi get together?"

Sheng Xiuyi didn't expect Mrs. Sheng to ask this, and said with a smile: "Mother, what are you asking?"

Mrs. Sheng's face fell slightly: "Don't fool your mother! You really don't know?"

Seeing that Madam Sheng was really annoyed, Sheng Xiuyi suppressed his smile and asked, "Mother, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Sheng didn't answer, but only asked when Sheng Xiumu and Qin Yi got married.

"In July of the previous year, Mother took my second younger siblings, Sister Yi and the children to Yonglian Temple to offer incense, and I was also accompanied by Brother Mu." Sheng Xiuyi could only say, "In the evening, the two of them were together... ... talking together. I happened to bump into him. I asked Brother Mu, and he told me. He happened to be with Sister Yi not long ago."

Madam Sheng closed her eyes slightly, and sighed wearily.

She looked a little sad.

Sheng Xiuyi understood it, called his mother softly, and said, "Mother, are you okay?"

Mrs. Sheng sighed heavily, and asked Sheng Xiuyi: "Brother Mu was given a marriage last year, did he think about how to arrange for Sister Yi? Did he tell you?"

"I told Brother Mu at the time that although Sister Yi is an aunt and cousin, she has no status. In the future, my father will not agree." Sheng Xiuyi said cautiously, "Brother Mu said that he knew it well, and Sister Yi also knew it number!"

"What?" Mrs. Sheng opened her eyes suddenly, "You mean, Sister Yi knows that too? She knows that she can't be Brother Mu's first wife in the future, so is she good to Brother Mu?"

"Mother..." Sheng Xiuyi held his mother's hand, not knowing what to say.

The latter words are not something he can say as an older brother.

If you love me, I would like to, but it is really hard for him to say anything, and it ruins other people's good deeds.

Brother Mu probably never thought of marrying Sister Yi in a serious way, and Sheng Xiuyi knew about it.Brother Mu understood his father's temper very well, it was wrong for Sister Yi and the Sheng family to be inappropriate, and father could not be willing.

What kind of daughter-in-law the Sheng family marries is related to the reputation of the Shengchang Hou Mansion.

But Sheng Xiuyi didn't quite know what Sister Yi was thinking.

She was also very sad when Brother Mu was given a marriage. Seeing her haggard, Brother Mu also lost his mind during those days. She lost her mind in front of her father several times, and Sheng Xiuyi helped cover it up.

Has this thing leaked?
"Go back!" Mrs. Sheng waved her hands helplessly.

What Sheng Xiuyi wanted to say, Madam Sheng said again: "Go back." Then she paused and said, "Don't tell Ah Yuan about the matter of Brother Mu and Sister Yi. After all, it's okay to talk about our own affairs. Not decent enough."

Sheng Xiuyi said yes.

Seeing that Mrs. Sheng didn't want to talk more, she had to go out.

Mrs. Sheng leaned on the big kang by the window in the inner room by herself, and after thinking for a long time, she called Kang's mother to come in: "Go and call Miss Biao."

Mother Kang said yes.

Qin Yi was stopped when he went to greet Madam Sheng in the morning, and now suddenly Mama Kang came to call her in person, feeling confused, and followed Madam Kang into Yuanyang Pavilion.

Mrs. Sheng was sitting on the big kang facing the window in the east room, and when she saw her come in, she kindly smiled at her, her expression was very gentle, nothing unusual.

Qin Yi's heart finally settled down a bit.

"Sister Yi, you have been in our house for almost ten years." Mrs. Sheng beckoned, let Qin Yi sit next to her, took her hand and sighed, "How does Auntie treat you?"

Qin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "My aunt treats me like my own daughter!"

Madam Sheng smiled in satisfaction, and said: "Aunt really treats you like your own daughter, do you treat Aunt as your real mother?"

Qin Yi hurriedly said: "I have always regarded my aunt as my mother!"

Mrs. Sheng's smile was even more satisfied.

She paused, and then said: "Sister Yi, since you treat Auntie as your mother and Auntie as a daughter, Auntie will not beat around the bush. Since ancient times, marriage is determined by parents, and Sister Yi is almost sixteen, Auntie thought Make an appointment for you."

Qin Yi's heart beat violently, and his face turned red.

She murmured, "It's all up to my aunt."

His expression was uneasy.

Mrs. Sheng saw it in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Qin Weihou's mansion is the son-in-law's mansion of Princess Hexu, does Sister Yi know? Qin Weihou's second son, Wei Qingfeng, is only 16 years old this year, and he was born with a good-looking talent. Now Princess Hexu entrusts Grandma Wugu to be a matchmaker, would you be willing?"

Princess Hexu, Qin Yi met once.Last year at Princess Wen Jing's mansion, the eldest princess Hexu scolded her cousin's sister-in-law as soon as she entered the door.

Qin Yi seemed relieved.

She bowed her head in silence.

Mrs. Sheng saw it, her heart turned cold, but she still smiled: "If you don't speak, Auntie will take it as your wish. Auntie just asked someone to agree to the matter of Princess Hexu's Mansion?"

After all, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Qin Yi was very shy, and muttered: "I always listen to my aunt..."

"Good boy!" Mrs. Sheng said with a sigh.

After sitting for a while, let her go back.

Madam Sheng let out a long sigh, leaned against the big pillow, and did not speak for a while.

Mother Kang looked at her worriedly, and gently beat her leg.

"Although I regard her as a daughter, I can't give her a more honorable status." Mrs. Sheng said to Kang's mother, "I'm afraid she's always worried about her future. Now it's said that she is marrying into the Hou's mansion, and she is willing to marry her." Asking to marry, she was relieved."

Mother Kang didn't dare to say a word, but listened quietly.

"That's all!" Mrs. Sheng said disappointedly, "The future is important, and the future is more important than anything else. I was worried that she would be wronged, but it was for nothing..."

Then she said to Kang's mother, "Let the servant girl go and call the second daughter-in-law."

Kang's mother called Citron and asked her to invite the second mistress.

Second Mistress was also surprised, what happened today.

She came in and saluted, and Mrs. Sheng told her about agreeing to Qin Weihou's mansion.

"Then I'll go back to Grandma Wugu!" The second grandma, Ge Shi, looked very happy, "Grandma Wugu said, Princess Hexu is waiting for an answer on this matter!"

Mrs. Sheng nodded slightly.

The second grandmother, Ge Shi, left in a hurry.
