Chapter 206 The House (2)

Sheng Lehao ​​was really at a loss.

Why are you so nice, and suddenly asked him what he thought of the maid?
The servant girl is just serving him, what can he think?When Wisteria and Ziyuan came to him from his grandmother, they were unfamiliar with him at first, but then they became close, and the two older sisters became his confidantes and treated him very well.

Any sincerity must be exchanged for hard work.

Don't others treat you well for no reason?

The maid who is given to him now is just a stranger, no matter who it is, it makes no difference to Sheng Lehao.

Sheng Lehao ​​felt that his stepmother should understand this truth.Like herself, she has a lot of experience in imperial court.Otherwise, how could she have been praised by everyone in the mansion less than two years after entering the mansion?
So when his stepmother asked this question, Sheng Lehao ​​was puzzled.

He looked at Dong Yuan puzzled.

Dong Yuan was a little embarrassed, she coughed, tried to keep her gaze calm, and said: "There are two second-class maids by my side, one named Qiuwen and the other named Danliu, they are all very capable, just Because of her young age, she no longer serves in my house. Qiuwen is the daughter of my nanny, and I treat her like a sister; No, mother will reuse them.

In addition, there are a few maids by my side, who are gentle in temperament and handsome in appearance. They are all dowry brought by me from my natal family, so naturally there will be no difference.If they come to serve you, they will always stay by your side in the future.

Mother just wants to ask you, what kind of maid do you want? "

Sheng Lehao ​​still looked at Dong Yuan puzzled.

But Dong Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was embarrassed.

He suddenly thought of something.

The first type of maid that mother mentioned is just someone who serves him, and if she wants to marry someone when she gets older, she may return to her side to be a mother in charge; while the second type is to be given to him forever, even if he doesn't need it.

Then, the second type of maid is his.

his people...

Sheng Lehao ​​understood the meaning of this.

He glanced at Dong Yuan again.

How does this tell him to answer?
He also became embarrassed.

After a long while, he stammered: "Mother, my child likes exquisite things since he was a child. Even if it is a small toy, he would rather lack it than waste it. The child thought that the second-class maid next to his mother should be one in a hundred, so naturally Better than other maids. If the mother rewards the child, the child will remember the mother's kindness, study hard, go to high school as soon as possible, bring glory to the family, and not let the mother down."

Dong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief slowly.

She seemed to have vomited out the depression in her heart.

Sheng Lehao's meaning was obvious.

First, the most important thing for him at the moment is to study and get a good reputation, so as to bring glory to his family.Other things don't have much temptation for him.

Second, he likes delicate things.The servant girl in the house will carry his aunt in the future, and he doesn't want the maid to be his aunt.Because the status of a maid is always lowly, the child will be said to be a maid giving birth in the future, which is not good for the child.That's what he meant when he said that he would rather be short than excessive.

The heavy stone in Dong Yuan's heart finally fell to the ground, and she smiled with satisfaction: "Since this is the case, I will give you the autumn pattern and light willow beside my mother. You have to remember what I said today."

Sheng Lehao ​​said yes.

In this way, Dong Yuan solved the matter of Sheng Le Hao Tong's maid invisibly.

When she told Mother Luo, Ju Hong and Qiangwei about this decision, Mother Luo was stunned at first, and then was speechless.

She froze on the spot, and asked after a long while: "Sister Yuan... Do you want Qiuwen..." She couldn't believe it, in Mother Luo's heart, Dong Yuan would never do such a thing.She should try her best to protect Mother Luo's daughter, instead of just giving her daughter to the young master as a housemate.

Mother Luo was not angry, she was just surprised by this decision.Because she knew that Dong Yuan must have something to say.She wouldn't treat Mother Luo like this.

Ju Hong and Qiangwei were also very surprised.

Dong Yuan smiled and said: "Madam wants to arrange a housemaid for the young master. But I still think that the young master is too young, so we can wait a few years to talk about it. Qiu Wen and Dan Liu are just going to serve the young master, not what you think... ..."

She looked back, looked at Luo's mother, and said cautiously: "Mom, I didn't lie to you. I told the young master that Qiuwen is my biological sister, and the young master understands this."

Mother Luo was relieved.

It is very good to be able to be a maidservant next to the young master.

Besides, Dong Yuan is in the mansion, so Mother Luo doesn't have to worry about Qiu Wen's future.Dong Yuan is the child she brought up. She knows Dong Yuan very well. She never worries about her future or her daughter's future. Dong Yuan will take good care of them.

"What about Madam?" Qiangwei asked worriedly.

Dong Yuan smiled and said: "It's not a problem. Madam won't break the news, but will hint to the young master that these two maidservants will be placed in his room in the future. I have already told the young master, he understands me Meaning, there is no misunderstanding. Madam, she will only think that I put my confidant maid in the young master's room..."

Qiu Wen is the daughter of Luo's mother, and Luo's mother is Dong Yuan's nurse, so it seems to others that Dong Yuan is thinking about Qiu Wen.

This reason will not be broken.

Sure enough, when Dong Yuan told Mrs. Sheng the maid's name, Mrs. Sheng really missed it.She smiled and said, "Qiu Wen is Mama Luo's daughter, right? I've met her twice, she looks very good. With Mama Luo first, there is no need to be suspicious of her temper."

Then, she hesitated slightly, "Dan Liu is good-looking, honest and honest, and diligent in doing things. It's just that she is too old..."

Dan Liu was one of the maids Mrs. Sheng gave Dong Yuan back then, so Mrs. Sheng still has some impressions of Dan Liu.

Dong Yuan smiled and said: "Dan Liu is only 16 years old, although she is older than Qiu Wen, but she is more stable. Brother Hao is still young, so he can't let the people around him be ignorant. Wouldn't it be better to be older?"

What she meant was that the young one was not very sensible and might have brought Sheng Lehao ​​down.

Sheng Lehao ​​is just at the age when love is just beginning, if he is brought up badly, the future will be bad.Mrs. Sheng also has such worries.

So when Dong Yuan said this, she was also relieved.

"In this case, let's do as you said." Mrs. Sheng said.

Dong Yuan said yes.

She felt a little uneasy about keeping Mrs. Sheng in this way.

But after thinking about it, what they said was ambiguous, and Dong Yuan's behavior was not considered fraud.

She couldn't let two girls be with a 13-year-old child by her own hands.If so, her heart will definitely be even more awkward.

Once Sheng Lehao's road to fame in the future is not smooth enough, this awkwardness will be exaggerated invisible, and even become Dong Yuan's guilt.

Her worries mainly come from the fact that teachers and parents restrained her first love in middle and high school, which is not groundless.

Boys and girls of this age will really be led astray by ignorant feelings.Otherwise, why is the prohibition of puppy love so popular in later generations?
The smooth resolution of this matter made Dong Yuan feel much happier.

But the cold war with Sheng Xiuyi continued.

As for Sheng Xiuyi, he really didn't intend to apologize, which made Dong Yuan very angry.

In the blink of an eye, it was Dongyue, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Apart from going to Mrs. Sheng's place every morning and evening, Dong Yuan hid in the house to do needlework, and stayed with Brother Cheng.

Brother Cheng, who is already eight months old, would giggle and laugh happily when Dong Yuan teased him.

He even simply yelled out a vague word, although he didn't know what he was talking about.All these make Dongyuan's life wonderful.

However, the relationship between Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi has not improved much.Dong Yuan even thought, is he tired of her?

They say love has a short lifespan.After the deadline, he relied on patience to support him. Has Sheng Xiuyi passed the period of love for her and entered the period of patience?

Even outside, did he have a girlfriend?

These thoughts are briefly in the mind at first, and then occupy longer and longer.The more he thinks like this, the more Dong Yuan doesn't want to talk to Sheng Xiuyi.

She couldn't bear this kind of grievance.

She seemed to be expecting more and more from this relationship, which somewhat exceeded Sheng Xiuyi's understanding of marriage.At least in Sheng Xiuyi's education, it is normal for him to have three wives and four concubines, but Dong Yuan doesn't let him have a concubine's room.

Does he feel that Dong Yuan makes him breathless?
Thinking of this, Dong Yuan is also very discouraged: the three views are different, it is really difficult to fall in love.

On the third day of the first winter month, another heavy snowfall covered Kyoto, dyeing the row upon row of streets in pure white.

Dong Yuan went to greet Mrs. Sheng as usual, and then started sewing in the house.

After Sheng Xiuyi came back, as usual, he first went to greet Mrs. Sheng.Lai'an brought another jar of wine.

Dong Yuan couldn't help but think of what happened on the night of the first snow last time, and felt an inexplicable surge in his heart.Looking at the wine, she knew that Sheng Xiuyi was finally ready to surrender and wanted to ask her for peace.

Dong Yuan smiled.

She insists that he apologize first.As long as he apologizes, she will stop making trouble.

Sure enough, Sheng Xiuyi came back from Yuanyang Pavilion and asked Dongyuan: "Did Lai'an bring the wine here?"

Dong Yuan said: "It has already been delivered."

The tone was still very flat.

Sheng Xiuyi leaned over, approached her and said, "The wine is warmed up, I want to drink it at night."

Dong Yuan said yes lightly again.

Sheng Xiuyi had no choice but to go to the clean room first to change clothes.

When he came out, the big kang in the inner room by the window was already full of wine and vegetables.Sheng Xiuyi looked at Dong Yuan and couldn't help but smile.

Dong Yuan first sent the servant girls out of the house, poured wine for him with his own hands, and said: "You have nothing to say to me?"

Sheng Xiuyi was slightly stunned, and then hugged her tightly, saying: "Ah Yuan, what I did last time was reckless, don't get angry again."

Dong Yuan was held in his arms, and said: "If you explain one more thing, I won't be angry."

"what?"

"Why didn't you apologize to me until today?" Dong Yuan raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes seemed to see through him.

Sheng Xiuyi let go of her and sighed.

Dong Yuan got up and sat in front of him.

Sheng Xiuyi paused and asked, "If I tell you the reason, will I not be angry anymore?"

Dong Yuan nodded with certainty.

"Because I'm ashamed to speak!" Sheng Xiuyi said.
