Chapter 186 Congratulations (1)

The engagement of the third master of the Sheng family, Sheng Xiumu, was originally a happy event.

But under the noise of Princess Hexu and Dong Yuan's stepmother Yang, the happy event became a bit depressing.

The grandma of the fifth aunt of the Sheng family was frightened by Sheng Changhou, and felt suffocated again when she returned to the mansion.She didn't dare to go to Sheng's house to make trouble anymore. Sheng Changhou was certainly not good-looking and the past might be revealed, but Grandma Wugu herself had to bear the greatest criticism and indifference.

She is not a prostitute.

She was angry in her heart, and she didn't dare to provoke the Marquis of Shengchang's mansion, but she added fuel and jealousy in front of Princess Hexu, exaggerating the Sheng family's arrogance and fraudulent marriage.

Princess Hexu believed deeply in the words of Grandma Wugu, and was furious, disregarding the dignity of the royal family, she came to ask for an explanation in person.

Sheng Changhou didn't dare to scold Princess Hexu.He allowed Princess Hexu to talk nonsense and confuse truth and wrong, without even answering a word.After Princess Hexu left, he ran to the palace and went to the emperor to accuse Princess Hexu of disrespecting him, and asked the emperor to transfer him to the imperial tomb to serve the queen mother.

Marquis Shengchang resigned without hesitation, and Emperor Yuanchang was very grateful to him.Hearing that Princess Hexu went to the old official's house to cause trouble, Sheng Changhou came to complain again, meaning that he was out of office and was being bullied by the princess.

That's pretty cool!

Although Marquis Sheng Chang resigned, there are still some forces in the court.If Emperor Yuanchang passes away and Marquis Shengchang rises again, won't Emperor Yuanchang's son be controlled by others?
Emperor Yuanchang hated the brainless Princess Hexu so much that he immediately dispatched his servants to issue an imperial decree to scold Princess Hexu, scolding her for losing her royal dignity and not having the measure of a princess.In the end, she was punished to pay [-] mu of fertile land to Marquis Shengchang as an apology, while Princess Hexu herself was banned for half a year by imperial decree.

When Princess Hexu heard His Majesty's decree scolding her for losing her princess dignity, she fainted from fright.Wouldn't this be taking away her princess title?
Knowing that she didn't win the title, but only asked her to apologize to Marquis Shengchang, she was also relieved, and happily gave up the three thousand acres of fertile land.

But this matter quickly spread throughout the capital, and Princess Hexu became a joke in the capital.

The Marquis of Shengchang has also come out, and the three thousand mu of fertile land has also been obtained, and I feel very happy.

In those few days, Dong Yuan could always meet him in the morning and evening.He was also very kind to Dong Yuan, and even asked the wet nurse to show Brother Cheng to him.

The two sword eyebrows stretched out, and there was a faint smile on his face.

On the first day Dong Yuan entered the door, he saw Sheng Changhou's smile.His smile is only used when perfunctory is required.In the backyard, Sheng Changhou always had a cold face, which made people fearful just looking at him.

Today, he really has a smile on his face.

Not only the son and daughter-in-law of the family were surprised, but Mrs. Sheng, who had lived with him for more than thirty years, was also amazed.

It's just that Princess Hexu suffered a bit, so why are you so happy?
Sheng Xiuyi said to Dong Yuan: "Daddy backed down, panicking in his heart. This time he finally let out his breath, and it's inevitable that he would feel happy. His tone not only made Princess Hexu feel embarrassed, but also made Princess Hexu feel embarrassed. The resentment of forced resignation has dissipated."

Dong Yuan couldn't help laughing, and asked: "Old child, the older you get, the more you look like a child. Is that what you mean?"

Sheng Xiuyi also laughed.

Princess Hexu wanted to marry her daughter to Mu Enbo, making such a big joke, but it didn't affect Dongyuan's stepmother Mrs. Xue Wu.

Dongyuan's eldest aunt, Rong, wanted to protect the matchmaker for her twelfth younger sister, Xue Donglin, but she lost face because of the troubles between the fifth wife, Yang, and the Yang family.

Mrs. Xue's health is also getting worse day by day.

Therefore, the family no longer cares about the matter of the fifth house, and let the fifth wife, Mrs. Yang, to toss about it by herself.Although the fifth lady was optimistic about the Sheng family, but the Sheng family refused to buy it and refused to propose marriage, so she had to find another good son-in-law.

Who would have known that Miss Xue Twelve loved her ninth brother-in-law, and even yelled "Sheng Lang" in public, which had already spread throughout the capital.

Anyone with a little family background is unwilling to marry Miss Xue Twelve, for fear of being embarrassing; and the fifth wife looks down on those with weak family background.Picking and picking, until the marriage of the third master of the Sheng family was settled, the twelfth miss of the Xue family was still ignored.

The fifth madam couldn't help feeling angry. She heard that the eldest madam was the matchmaker for the third master of the Sheng family, drawing a red thread for the third master of the Sheng family and the seventh miss of the Shan family. The fifth madam thought that the elder madam was deliberately making things difficult for her.

She didn't fear that the eldest lady was the biological mother of the empress, and she burst into tears when she came to the door: "...my niece and sister-in-law don't worry about it, but work hard for outsiders. I know that my sister-in-law doesn't like me, but I shouldn't repay it to my child. Sister-in-law Knowing that Sister Lin and Mu Enbo are a match made in heaven, but deliberately telling Mu Enbo about the Seventh Miss of the Shan family. Could it be that Miss Shan Qi is closer than my own niece?"

The doctor's angry heart, liver, spleen and stomach hurt.

How can there be such an unreasonable person?
The eldest lady felt that arguing with someone like the fifth lady would lower her style.She just stood up with a cold snort, looked at Mrs. Wu and said, "Fifth brother and sister speak from the heart first. I'm also busy here. The fifth brother and sister are fine in the future, so don't come here for a stroll."

The fifth lady's face suddenly turned purple.

Mother Rong, who was beside the eldest lady, was even more rude. After the eldest lady left, she asked the servant girl to take away the teacup in front of the fifth lady, and drove them away very bluntly.

Fifth Madam burst into tears immediately.

Not only was she crying, but she also spread around the mansion how the eldest lady bullied others, and what the eldest lady said was vicious and vicious, and now she is using the power of the empress to do evil.

Fortunately, Da Furen has always distinguished between public and private, and is generous. Although she is the housekeeper in the mansion, she never seeks personal gain.He is straightforward in handling things, rewards and punishments are appropriate for doing things, and there is no dissatisfaction among the servants in the family; among the sisters-in-law, whoever has a difficult problem, the eldest lady will help everywhere; Let it go, and the sisters-in-law also obey her.

On the contrary, the fifth lady's inconspicuous temperament is well known in the whole family.

She came out to cry and complained, but she didn't get sympathy. Instead, she gained popularity for Da Furen.All the respectable women in the family went to pay their respects to the eldest lady; the sisters-in-law also came to comfort her.

Seeing her family like this, the eldest lady was so grateful that her eyes filled with tears, and she no longer cared about the stupid words of the fifth lady.

On Qiangwei's mother's birthday, Qiangwei made a pair of shoes and sent them back. When she came back, she told Dong Yuan about the Fifth Madam's bad words about Da Furen.

And Mrs. Sheng also heard about it from the side.

The fifth lady not only spoke at Xue's house, but also went to Yang's house to speak, making the eldest lady very unbearable.Because this matter was related to the Sheng family, Mrs. Yao, Hou of Dingyuan heard about it and came to tell Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng thought that Dong Yuan didn't know, so she called Dong Yuan to ask.

Dong Yuan heard from Qiangwei that Mrs. Sheng asked her if it was true, and she was very embarrassed.

"Don't think too much about it." Seeing that Dong Yuan was not at ease, Madam Sheng knew she was serious, and comforted her, "Mother asked you this because she was thinking about your aunt's generosity, and because she didn't want to lose face to argue, she just I'm afraid it must be a grievance, but it's because of Brother Mu's matter, our mother and I will go to visit the old lady tomorrow, and take a look at your aunt by the way."

Dong Yuan's face turned red.

Her natal family has such things, how can she be glorious?
Hearing Mrs. Sheng's words, she got a little better, hurriedly said yes, and agreed.

Originally scheduled to go to see the old lady of the Xue family and the eldest lady on the tenth day of September, but on the night of the ninth day, Sheng Xiuyi brought another piece of news to Dong Yuan.

The eldest son of Zhenxianhou's mansion has finally been decided.

The grandfather chose Xue Huaxuan, the third young master of the second room, as his successor to the title.

Dong Yuan was slightly surprised, and then remembered that the prince Zhu Yuanzhang passed away in the Ming Dynasty, and he also chose Zhu Yunwen, the son of the deceased prince, as the heir to the throne.

After the uncle was ennobled, he was separated from Zhenxianhou's mansion.The second wife of the Marquis of Zhenxian's mansion is a descendant and should inherit the title.But the second master passed away for many years, the third master of the third house was rebellious, and the fourth master was a concubine, so Dong Yuan thought that the fifth house must be the successor.

Unexpectedly, the old Hou Ye changed his mind and directly asked for the seal for the eldest son of the second room, and the third young master Xue Huaxuan became the son of Zhenxianhou.

"Your father is also the biological father of Concubine Xue Shu, and His Majesty will definitely reward you in the future. The old Marquis probably thinks so, so he gave Chengjue to your third brother." Sheng Xiuyi was afraid that Dong Yuan would feel disrespectful, so he comforted her with a smile.

Dong Yuan shook his head and smiled: "Tianhe, I know more about our family than you, so you don't need to comfort me. No matter what my grandfather does, as a junior, he dare not criticize him. Besides, I don't think my grandfather has done anything wrong. .The eldest uncle is a marquis, so naturally the second uncle inherits the family business. The ancestor's rules are like this, I didn't think much about it."

Maybe Wu Furen and Wu Fang felt that Old Master Xue didn't give them face, but Dong Yuan didn't feel that way.

The fifth master has soft ears and lacks much knowledge; while the fifth wife is ignorant and domineering. If the Xue family's ancestral property is passed on to the fifth lady, their reputation for a hundred years may be ruined.

At that time, Dong Yuan really lost his face.

Dong Yuan's biological father, Xue Ziming, was the biological father of Concubine Xue Shu, and Concubine Xue Shu had been favored for a long time, if she wanted to give the fifth master the title, she would probably have given it long ago.

Concubine Xue Shu's feelings for the fifth master and fifth wife, Dong Yuan is too clear.Concubine Xue Shu entered the palace as a young lady from Zhenxianhou's residence, and she will rely on Zhenxianhou in the future.No matter who Zhen Xianhou is, he will be willing to be her backer, so as to enjoy the glory brought by her, and rely on each other with her.

She didn't need to give Lord Wu another title or seek another backer.

At this moment, Dong Yuan even speculated that if His Majesty did not award the Fifth Master alone, could Concubine Xue Shu be the hindrance?Compared with Dong Yuan, as a concubine, Concubine Shu, who has lived under the same roof for more than ten years with the tenth sister who was killed by the fifth wife, has no grandmother to rely on, and endured the persecution of her aunt when she was growing up. Concubine Shu, whose biological father was indifferent, hated Fifth Master and Fifth Madame more strongly than Dong Yuan.

Every concubine wants her natal family to be prominent and become her own reliance.But Dong Yuan felt that Concubine Shu probably never regarded Master Wu as her natal family.

She just relied on Zhenxianhou's Mansion.

You have never been nice to me, but you want me to bring you glory and wealth?

How could Concubine Shu be willing?

Putting herself in the situation, Dong Yuan thought that she couldn't be willing to be willing to someone who had lived two lifetimes.

"Tomorrow, my mother and I are going to visit our ancestors, you ask the steward of the outer court to prepare another congratulatory gift, and I will send it to my third brother and third sister-in-law." Dong Yuan said to Sheng Xiuyi, and then asked him, "Are you going? "
