Chapter 194 Rejection (3)

Mrs. Sheng's stomachache was a relapse of an old disease, and Sheng Xiuyi didn't worry too much.

When he came back from the Prince's Mansion in the evening, he first went to Yuanyang Pavilion to greet Mrs. Sheng, and then returned to Jingsheyuan.

Dong Yuan told him that Second Aunt Lin wanted to go out, and said: "... She and Aunt Lin are siblings, so there is nothing wrong with worshiping. But she wants to go out to worship at Zhuangzi, I always feel something is wrong, so I didn't agree. You won't make it difficult for Dad, right?"

Sheng Xiuyi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said with a faint smile: "You follow the rules, what's your problem?"

Dong Yuan couldn't help but think of those strange thoughts when he was in Yuanyang Pavilion, his heart moved slightly, and he blurted out: "I'm in a dilemma. Don't you feel the same way?"

Sheng Xiuyi was thinking about what was wrong with Second Aunt Lin going out, when he suddenly heard Dong Yuan's ridiculous words, he couldn't help but look up at her.Although she had a sly smile on her face, her eyes flickered, as if she was probing for something.

He couldn't help thinking to himself, is there something else going on at home recently?
He glanced at Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan was regretting her slip of the tongue, when Sheng Xiuyi's calm eyes swept her away, her cheeks were slightly hot, she lowered her head with a smile, avoiding Sheng Xiuyi's gaze.

Sheng Xiuyi got up, sat on the kang beside her, and asked her softly: "Are you restless lately?"

Really misunderstood.

Dong Yuan really wanted to slap herself in the face, the resentful words she said were really unreasonable and unreasonable troubles, it was enough for her to think wildly for no reason, but she blurted it out.Sheng Xiuyi is also a careful man, he will naturally notice the changes in Dong Yuan's mood and the unhappiness in his tone.

How should this... be explained?

There was a bit of shame in Dong Yuan's eyes.

She smiled and said: "No, they are all fine..." Then she called Qiangwei to come in to take care of her, got up and went to the clean room to take a shower.

Sheng Xiuyi looked at her back and frowned suspiciously.

Dong Yuan came out of the clean room, and Sheng Xiuyi went to wash up.When he came back, Dong Yuan sat on the big kang by the window and read the account book.She didn't have an abacus in front of her, she just flipped through the ledger to pass the time.

When Sheng Xiuyi saw her frowning slightly, she was so unhappy that she rarely saw her, and she couldn't help worrying again: What happened?
Before going to bed, he asked again: "Do you have something on your mind?"

Dong Yuan dodged and replied: "It's really all right..." His tone was very guilty, and he was afraid that Sheng Xiuyi would press further.

Sheng Xiuyi became more and more puzzled.

But Dong Yuan didn't want to say it, and he couldn't force it, so he put his arms around her waist and murmured in her ear: "If there is anything embarrassing, just tell me."

Dong Yuan vaguely agreed.

The next day when Sheng Xiuyi returned home, Mrs. Sheng's illness was almost healed, and Dong Yuan also returned to her previous appearance, as if nothing had happened.He worried about his heart for a whole day before putting it back in place.

——*——*——

Second Mrs. Yang wanted to recruit Han Naihua as her son-in-law, but after meeting with Dong Yuan and Mrs. Sheng, she went to Xue's house.

The eldest lady was busy with moving the house, and because the Yang family was the fifth lady's natal family, she didn't want to interfere, so she politely rejected the second lady Yang.

Mrs. Yang opened her mouth cleverly and asked the third grandma, Mrs. Cai.The third grandma, Mrs. Cai, is now the wife of the eldest son. Although she is young, she is quite important in her appearance.

The third grandmother and the third young master Xue Huaxuan have been in Sichuan for many years, and they are not as smooth as the other sisters-in-law in the family, and they are more down-to-earth.Mrs. Yang Er is also known for being eloquent. The third grandma is young and thin-faced, and she couldn't stand her begging. After she had run out of good words, she agreed to go and find out.

At the beginning, the third grandma went to Sichuan with the third young master within three months after marrying Xue's family. The family didn't know her very well, and they didn't know what kind of temperament she was. Go and tell her not to worry about Mrs. Fifth's natal affairs.

If you say it directly, you will be suspected of sowing discord.

The old lady hates the infighting among the sisters-in-law and sister-in-law in the family the most, and the female family members of the Xue family are also used to being cautious.

If the third grandma had the personality of the fifth lady, she might turn around and tell the fifth lady what others warned her about.

The women of the Xue family have been under Mrs. Xue's hands for a long time, and all of them are unwilling to show off and provoke suspicion.

The eldest lady wanted to teach the third grandma, but she herself was too busy recently to find time; and the second lady Yang started too quickly.Furthermore, the third grandma is a nephew's daughter-in-law, not her own daughter-in-law, and it's hard to say it's too obvious after being separated by one floor.

The third grandma and the Han family are also considered relatives, and she is a real person, so she went to ask Mrs. Han herself the next day.

"It's the fifth aunt's natal family, Uncle Jianheng's Yang family, which can be considered a century-old family. The fourth lady of the Yang family is named Wei, and I've seen her a few times. After Grandma disclosed Mrs. Yang's opinion to Mrs. Han, she also helped to say a few good words.

Mrs. Han's complexion suddenly turned ugly.

Since the third grandma is the wife of Zhenxian Hou Shizi, she is not easy to get angry, so she just asked with a faint smile: "Why did the Yang family want to marry our family? I heard that the fifth wife of your family didn't like sister Yuan back then. Our old lady Madam heard that Mrs. Fifth was treating Sister Yuan badly, so she was very angry..."

Although the third grandma is honest, she is not stupid. Hearing this tone, and seeing Mrs. Han's unnatural smile, she instantly understood what kind of foolish things she had done.

She smiled sarcastically: "Auntie, I just returned to the capital, and I'm not very sensible. The second wife of the Yang family is hard-pressed. If I say something wrong, don't take it to heart."

Admitting mistakes is sincere.

Mrs. Han didn't take Joe either, she let it go in her heart, she smiled and took the third grandma's hand, and said, "What's the matter? You're thinking about marrying Naihua, and it's too late for my aunt to be grateful. How can you say something wrong?" Reason? It's just that the Yang family..."

She paused, sighed, and said, "Although Naihua is in the capital, far away from the old lady. But Naihua's marriage must be told to the old lady first. You have also heard about our family. The old lady has always been brooding over Sanniang's death. Later, she heard that her stepmother, Yang, treated Sister Yuan badly. One thing is one thing, how can it make people feel happy? No matter how prominent the Yang family is, our Han family can't compete with their marriage."

The third grandma listened and nodded again and again.

On the way back, she was embarrassed.

How should she respond to Mrs. Yang?Just say Mrs. Han didn't want to be related to the Yang family because Mrs. Xue's fifth wife treated Dong Yuan badly?

This statement is somewhat petty.

The third grandmother is not smart enough, but she also understands some things.

It is true that Mrs. Han does not want to marry the Yang family, but this reason is only part of it.

She thought a lot, but still didn't know how to reply, annoyed that she shouldn't follow the advice of the second wife of the Yang family to do this matter.

After returning to Zhenxianhou's Mansion, the third grandma first went to pay her respects to the old lady.

The old lady smiled and asked where she went.

The third grandma didn't dare to hide it, and told the old lady about what the second Mrs. Yang begged her, and Mrs. Han's attitude, etc., like a child complaining about her grievances.

The old lady looked at the granddaughter-in-law, and felt that she was a bit like the third lady, she was a real person, she had too few calculations in her mind, and she was both fond of and anxious.

Honesty is a virtue, and the old lady likes it very much.

But the third grandma will be in charge of the entire Zhenxianhou Mansion in the future, so she can't be too real.Just like a steel bar, it is too rigid and easy to break.

The old lady asked her to sit beside her, suppressed her usual kind smile, and dispatched a room full of waiters before asking her: "What do you think about this?"

The third grandma has always been in awe of the old lady. When the old lady asked her to talk about her views on Mrs. Han's rejection of the Yang family's marriage, she felt uneasy, hesitated for a while, and hesitated: "I can't think of it. When the Yang family was the great ancestor It is a noble and noble family that has been sealed as a noble. Sister Wei's character and appearance are outstanding. My aunt has met Sister Wei, so it should be a good marriage... But my aunt said the words of the fifth aunt and the ninth aunt to reject the Yang family. ,I do not understand……"

The old lady smiled faintly, and said: "The Yang family's family status is indeed not bad. The Han family used to have some reputation in the capital, but in Han Shangshu's generation, they also lost about the same. After that, they left Beijing for more than ten years and did not interact with everyone. , if the current Han family is married to the Yang family, it is indeed Gao Pan, and my aunt should not refuse..."

The third grandma nodded again and again: "I thought so too at the time, so I accepted the second wife of the Yang family and went to ask my aunt..."

"But my aunt refused without even thinking about it, didn't she?" The old lady looked at the third grandma with a smile in her eyes.

The third grandma marveled at the old lady's ability to predict things like a god, and nodded hastily, with a troubled and confused look on her face, like a child.

The old lady couldn't help laughing.

"Naihua's child is good-looking, with good knowledge and upbringing." The old lady smiled, and analyzed it to the third grandmother, "It's the second place in the new department this year, a young Jinshi who is valued by the emperor. Anyone who sees it will like it a little bit." Mrs. Han knows in her heart that her son, Princess Shang, is not an exaggeration. The family of the Han family is very lonely. If the Naihua brothers want to gain a foothold, it is tantamount to regaining a piece of the world... Power is the only way for the Naihua brothers to have official careers in the future Smooth. The Yang family is the tallest, but the Yang family has no real power now, so they cannot get into the eyes of Mrs. Han. How could she tell you these words clearly?"

The third grandma woke up like a dream.

She stared blankly at the old lady, and after a while she murmured: "Grandmother, you know everything outside..." Her tone was filled with admiration and envy.

The old lady smiled helplessly, and patted her hand: "Stupid child, how can this be an outside matter? This is an inside matter. You just came to the capital, and you don't move around much, and you know very little, so naturally you can't figure it out. If you can't make up your mind about something in the future, ask your aunt first."

Then he thought about it, and said, "It's not good for you to stay at home. Tomorrow, I will tell your aunt to take you with you in everything, just like your sister-in-law, to learn from your aunt everywhere..."

The third grandmother said yes.

The old lady told her again: "For the matter of the Han family, you should tell the second lady of the Yang family as your aunt said..."

Third Grandma was stunned.Just say it straight?Didn't you offend the Yang family by saying that?

"Then, will the second wife of the Yang family bear a grudge against my aunt?" The third grandma asked softly.

The old lady laughed: "That's what my aunt told you. She is not afraid of offending the Yang family. What are you afraid of? Silly boy, if you don't say it directly, the Yang family will blame you for Naihua's engagement in the future. You want to help the Han family." Have you ever suffered? Don’t be afraid of offending people. If you don’t offend a few people who don’t know how to advance or retreat, others will think you are weak and easy to deceive!”
