Chapter 248 Not Proper
"Brother." Dong Yunji shouted, "Although we are separated, we will always be one family."

"That's right, we are all descendants of the Dong family. Even if we don't live under the same roof, we are close relatives whose blood is thicker than water. It is enough for you to remember this." Dong Yuncheng patted Dong Yunji on the shoulder, " Alright, hurry up and pack it up, it's going to be busy for a few days."

Dong Yunji nodded and said goodbye. After he left, Mrs. Tai looked at the elder and said to Dong Yuncheng, "Father and son, come with me."

Over the past few years, Mrs. Tai has aged a lot, and the white hair on her temples can no longer be concealed. She walked tremblingly into the inner room and sat on the big couch by the window with the support of Mother Cui.The cushions on the couch are embroidered with purple and gold patterns, rich and gorgeous.

"mother."

"grandmother."

The old man and his son sat down one after another. After looking at each other, the old man spoke first, "What are your orders?"

Mrs. Tai's eyes fell on the old man's body, her eyes were already stained a little cloudy, and she squinted slightly when looking at things.Mrs. Tai's spine was straight at all times, but at this time she was slightly hunched.

"I called you here because I have two things to say, and you can guess a bit if you think about it." Mrs. Tai said slowly.

The old man was slightly silent, while Dong Yuncheng nodded lightly, "Grandson can guess how much the grandmother wants to explain, please rest assured that even if the second uncle's family is separated, they are still members of the Dong family."

Mrs. Tai laughed and sighed, "Of course they are from the Dong family, but even though they are all from the Dong family, they are still divided into relatives and estrangements."

Dong Yuncheng pursed his lips slightly, the Elder's expression was not very good-looking, they all understood the meaning of Mrs. Tai's words, but they didn't want to understand.Many times, the truth hurts the most.

"Mother, isn't it too early to say this now?"

"It's not too early." Mrs. Tai naturally saw her son's hesitation, so her voice was extraordinarily firm.

"Grandmother." Dong Yuncheng said, "Actually, father has thought about it a long time ago, but he just hasn't been able to make up his mind."

Hearing her grandson's words, Mrs. Tai's expression softened a bit, "Since this is the case, now is the time to make up your mind. If you are so uncertain, neither Prince Ning nor Prince Jing will regard you as own people."

As the matter of Dong Yunji granting officials to the mansion and separating the family was settled, Mrs. Tai knew that the Dong family had split into two paths and headed in different directions.If she was alive, she would not allow such a situation to happen, because the final result would still damage the Dong family.King Ning is a person who is favored by the left and right, so there are more people attached to King Ning than Prince Jing.But in the past two years, Prince Jing has been rising all the way, relying on his outstanding political achievements and skills to fight his way through the court.Now Master Wen has a lot of love for Sister Zhao, and Dong Yunji is reused by the emperor. These are all signals that cannot be ignored. She has come here all her life, and she is more willing to trust her instinct that nothing will happen.

"Then what do you mean?" the elder asked, with a little hesitation in his eyes. In fact, he could guess what his mother meant, but he just didn't want to say it himself.

Mrs. Tai lowered her eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "I am already old, and the affairs outside the mansion are all based on hearsay. You can decide this matter yourself. You must know that since ancient times, the monarchs have liked pure ministers. If you are so half-hearted, the Dingguo government will be in trouble in the future. No matter which side you choose to follow, it is your own optimism, and the future results need to be borne by yourself."

There was silence in the room. This was a rather heavy topic. What surprised the elder was that Mrs. Tai did not directly say which party to rely on, but let him choose.But this made him hesitate even more.

Dong Yuncheng listened quietly without interjecting, and then heard his grandmother say: "This is the first thing, and there is another thing. I heard that Yunji brought a girl from the south, and asked the second child's family to bring her back. show me."

The old man was taken aback, he didn't expect his mother to know about this matter, so he quickly stood up and apologized, "It's because my son is not good at hiding it from you, the main reason is that there is no specific explanation for this matter. Zhang Zhang, I just wanted to wait until the second brother sorted out the matter before telling you, but I didn't expect to disturb you."

Hearing the old man's words, Mrs. Tai laughed instead, and said meaningfully, "This child Yunji is a hundred times stronger than his father, and the time to bring this child back is just right. Go and tell your second brother that as long as this child He comes from an innocent background, looks upright, and can barely catch the eye in terms of rules, if that kid Yunji really likes it... then he should."

When these words came out, not to mention the elder, even Dong Yuncheng was taken aback.

"Mother, isn't this very good?" The Eldest Master was in a dilemma. His son married the daughter of Yan Wenmao, a great Confucian of the generation.But if his younger brother's son married an orphan girl, if it got out, how many people would poke him in the back and say that he had no good intentions.This is too wronged, he never thought of tampering with Dong Yunji's marriage, let alone Bei'an Hou watching.

"I don't need to say much about this matter. You ask your second brother and sister to come and tell me in person, and I will explain it to them. Your second brother has no future at all, and his mother Yunji has a strong character. Smart, but it's a pity that his vision is shallow. Now that Yunji is entrusted to a high position by the emperor, if Yunji's daughter-in-law is from a taller family background, the emperor will not feel at ease. What's more, under the guise of saving his life, Yunji can also Being praised as a person who knows how to repay the favor, the Yue family can feel at ease even if they don’t appear to be the emperor.” Mrs. Tai sighed lightly, her eyes narrowed slightly, “I will go to Jiangsu to take up the post after the new year, and the girl from the south must be more familiar with the local area. On the contrary, she will be a good helper for Yunji. Being able to save people in distress shows that this girl has courage and insight. Yunji's errand is full of dangers. With this good wife by my side, we can feel more at ease in the capital .A strong dragon does not fight against a local snake. Although this girl was born in the common people and is an orphan, she has survived until now. She is a person with a heart, so she is not wronged by Yunji."

Seeing that the old man was still a little reluctant, Mrs. Tai added another sentence, "Marry a wife and marry a virtuous man. Back then, your second brother was such a dude, but I could lower my figure and personally ask for the Xing family's daughter for him. Why? The daughter-in-law's two children are well educated, and my painstaking efforts were not in vain. For the sake of the Dong family, I feel sorry for your second brother, but I can't even bring your second brother's children to suffer limitations and grievances. It's the same now, Since that girl is a good girl, as long as she is covered with a beautiful coat, her birth can still confuse people's eyes. What's more, this coat has already been delivered to her hands, and since the family has been separated, the stronger the second wife, the better. It is more appropriate for the government to watch over and help each other, do you understand?"

The Eldest Master was shrewd since he was a child, so he naturally understood it at this time. Thinking about it this way, he really felt that he was still a little narrow-minded sometimes.I was just thinking about how others would look at him, but I forgot that since the brothers have separated, this family should not only be separated beautifully, but also make the two families more intimate.Then the breakthrough was in the marriage of Yun Ji, who was in a stalemate in the second room. After thinking about it, I realized that there is still a long way to go between me and my mother. The head of the Dong family should not only care about his own self-interest, but also take a longer-term perspective. is.

The elder was convinced, and Dong Yuncheng was also shocked.

Grandma has endured far more than they thought.

The splitting of the Dong family was regarded as Kyoto's contribution to the last topic of the year, and when the topic disappeared, it would be the end of the year.

Huiyu received a letter from Mrs. Dong Er, inviting her to visit her new home.Huiyu laughed when she saw the contents of the letter. Ji Qiyu came in at this moment, and seeing the smile on Huiyu's face, she asked, "What are you laughing at? Whose letter is it?"

"My mother's letter, let me go to my new house to have a look." Huiyu said cheerfully, "My mother said that she left me a small courtyard in the mansion, just like when I was in the Duke's mansion. The name of the yard is still It's called the Liuli Pavilion, and the furnishings inside are exactly the same as before..." Huiyu's eyes turned red as she spoke, probably because Mrs. Dong Er was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, and she was thinking of the girl she had grown up in the Duke's Mansion. Liuli Pavilion, so I simply cloned the Liuli Pavilion in the Duke's Mansion to her new home.

Ji Qiyu's eyebrows twitched, "Mother-in-law is really thoughtful." Mother-in-law is just too thoughtful, and it puts a lot of pressure on him, a son-in-law, to be a husband. "When do you want to go back and have a look?" The day after tomorrow is thirty, even if you want to go, you only have one day tomorrow, the schedule is too tight, I'm afraid even if you go, you can only take a look and sit for a while coming back soon.

"Let's go back tonight and stay in the Liuli Pavilion for one night, how about we come back tomorrow morning?" Huiyu has never lived in her mother's house since she got married. She used to live in the Duke's mansion. There are many rules and etiquette. She dare not speak like this of.Even if Mrs. Dong Er allowed it, Mrs. Tai would not allow it. "My mother also said that my grandmother met Ji Xiaocui and said that she agreed to my second brother's marriage. My mother is angry at home, and I'm afraid they will really start a fight, so I can feel relieved when I go and have a look."

Originally, Second Madam Dong was dissatisfied with Ji Xiaocui, but Mrs. Tai made a decision directly. Can Second Madam Dong be happy?She is not happy, and none of their family will be happy, so they just moved to a new house and don't make a scene and be laughed at by others.

Ji Qiyu was really surprised when she heard the words, she didn't expect Mrs. Ding Guogong to agree to this marriage, but it's not appropriate to go over Mrs. Dong's second wife.
