First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 473

In the study of the Du family, the Second Master was talking to Master Du.

"...I heard from the news from the south that this plague is very severe. Not only is it highly contagious, but once you get it, there are nine out of ten..." The second master sighed, and said in a low voice, "Now I don't know What's the situation with the eldest niece, but I'm afraid it's also..."

Master Du's eyes were full of gloom, upon hearing this, he just closed his eyes and rubbed the center of his brows wearily.

The second master paused, then changed the topic, "Speaking of which, although many places have been affected by disasters and plagues broke out one after another, the Shanyin County and other places under the jurisdiction of my nephew and son-in-law have less disasters due to proper defenses, and they have been opened again." His Majesty praised the warehouse for helping the victims of disasters..."

Seeing that Master Du didn't respond, he continued, "Now His Majesty has ordered Mr. Tian Zhihuan to go to the south for disaster relief... I think Mr. Tian was a disciple of the old Lord..." He lowered his voice and said, "Wait The term of nephew and son-in-law has expired, and the future is bound to be immeasurable."

Master Du still didn't speak, just opened his eyes and looked at him indifferently.

The second master has always been a little afraid of his elder brother, but when he thought of the matter he and his wife were arguing in the house...he sighed softly, "The Song family's holy family has not declined in recent years, and the niece and son-in-law are up to date...but our family Zhi My sister's fortune is poor, but it's a pity that this good marriage..."

Master Du said indifferently, "Say something straight."

"Hey, hey!" The second master hastily poured a cup of tea for Master Du, and said tentatively, "In my brother's opinion, if, if my eldest niece really fails—"

Master Du's gaze was thrown at him like a knife.

The second master gritted his teeth, and said in a vigorous voice, "Brother, don't blame the younger brother for being blunt: Since she chose such a good bed for sister Zhi after a lot of choices, she can pay it back if she is good. If not—our Du Song The marriage between the two cannot be broken just like that!"

Master Du was so angry that he couldn't help laughing, "Why, now that your niece is still alive or dead, you are already impatient?"

The second master said awkwardly, "Brother, what are you talking about... Sister Zhi is also my own niece. As the second uncle, I hope that it is too late for her to get better, so why... I am not doing it for our Du family , for the sake of my little nephew!"

Master Du sneered with a gloomy face.

The second master argued aggrievedly, "Brother, think about it, our Du family's talents have withered over the years, and we can't find anyone who can stand out among the younger generation... Now it's rare that Brother Zhao loves reading at a young age and has good qualifications." , Brother, don’t you plan for him?”

Seeing that Master Du frowned and wanted to speak, he quickly said, "Furthermore, even if eldest brother disdains to rely on this relationship, he is confident that Brother Zhao will not need the support and support of these in-law families in the future. What about Sister Wan?" He moved He said affectionately, "The eldest niece has only such a drop of blood. If she really leaves like this, the eldest brother will have the heart to ask a four or five-year-old child to suffer in the mansion? An eldest daughter who lost her mother and has no siblings, once In the future, when the new mistress comes in, who will take her seriously?"

Master Du frowned into the word "Chuan".

The second master said sincerely, "Although what I said is not pleasant, but it is really for us all. It would be best if the eldest niece can be lucky this time, but if not, we have to go early Make preparations—the Du family needs an in-law like the Duke's Mansion, and Sister Wan also needs someone who will truly care for her."

Master Du was silent for a while, then Fang slowly said, "You've said so much... don't you even think about the candidate?"

The second master paused, his thoughts turned in his mind a few times, and he said hesitantly, "Theoretically, this candidate should naturally come from the elder brother's house... It's just that the next few nieces and daughters are all concubines, and they belong to the Duke's mansion." The lintel of the door...is too low after all."

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Master Du's eyes, he looked at him and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

This is what the second master waited for all night. When he heard this, he was overjoyed, but on the face he was very embarrassed, "This matter is really difficult... I will choose another virtuous and dignified girl from the clan for my nephew. The son-in-law reunited, and he was afraid that the relationship would be too far away, so she wouldn't kiss Sister Wan..." He secretly glanced at Master Du, and boldly said, "I've been thinking about it... Now that I'm about the same age, Her background and temperament are also suitable, it seems that Qing girl is the only one..."

Master Du curled his lips coldly, and the dark tide in his eyes was tumbling, almost rushing out in the next moment, but he said in an unusually calm voice, "So, wouldn't you be wronging Miss Qing too much?"

The second master didn't feel any difference at all, and waved his hands with righteousness on his face, "As a daughter of the Du family, for the sake of the family, what kind of grievance is this—"

Before he finished speaking, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, "Is what the second master said still human?!"

But she saw Madam Du walking in with scarlet eyes, as if she had listened to what the second master said just now.

The second master hurriedly stood up, "Sister-in-law misunderstood..."

"There is nothing to be misunderstood!" Mrs. Du tightened the handkerchief in her hand and stared at him, "My Ah Zhi will be fine, and my uncle will not marry again! I advise the second master to give up his heart as soon as possible." !" Seeing her trembling with anger, Master Du hurried forward to hold her hand, fearing that she would faint again, "Why are you here?"

Madam Du burst into tears and said angrily, "If I don't come, how will I know that Ah Zhi's life or death is uncertain, and someone is rushing to send my daughter to the door!"

The second master's face turned green and pale for a while, and he finally found his voice, and he couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment, "Sister-in-law, why do you speak so badly... I don't do so many things for our Du family——"

"Shut up!" Master Du yelled sharply, "Your sister-in-law taught you, do you have the qualifications to argue?!"

The second master widened his eyes in disbelief, "Brother..."

Master Du looked at him coldly, "I thought you would make some progress after being an official outside for so many years... who knows that you are still so stubborn!"

He said coldly, "Do you think that if you hug this big tree in the Duke's Mansion, you will be able to rise to the top? Stop dreaming! Like you, you are so ambitious and don't want to make progress. Don't think about anything in this life!"

Master Du took a deep breath, "Don't say that you still don't know what's going on with Rong Zhi, it's just—" Feeling his wife's hands trembling suddenly, he said sharply, "It's absolutely impossible for me to speak for you. It's shameful for the Du family to follow you!"

"Okay, okay..." The second master looked angrily at Mrs. Du who was next to Master Du, "It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know a good heart! No wonder my sister always said that my elder brother has changed, I just don't believe it... Now I am I have taught myself!" He stood up abruptly, "Brother, remember what you said today, and don't regret it in the future!" After saying that, he slammed the door angrily and left.
