Original Collection

Xiao Shiji raised his small face and looked at the two women quietly.

Tian looks a bit older, although her complexion is still fair, but the deep crow's feet at the corners of her eyes reveal her age.Wearing an orange-red half-arm, light grass-green high-waisted skirt with small florals, she is wearing a scarlet gauze cloak, holding a brocade handkerchief with happy eyebrows in one hand, and a handkerchief in the other. A moon-white round fan, with all kinds of golden jewelry on its head, shining brightly in the sun.

Mrs. Sun is younger, with a round face, pink, glossy and fat, wearing a light blue dress with a low chest and half arms, revealing most of her snow-white chest. When she giggled and chuckled, her chest trembled.

Du Xiancheng hurriedly clasped his hands together and said, "The two sisters-in-law were joking. Because today is the big day for Shuang'er to catch Zhou, I have to go to Luoyang first, but I can't make it in time, so I went home first. I planned to wait until after Shuang'er caught Zhou. I took Shuang'er and Wu Niang to Luoyang to see my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to come here in person, and I deserve to be honest."

Mrs. Tian cast a sideways glance at Mrs. Sun, and both of them took half a step back, avoiding Du Xiancheng's salute, "Third brother will be out of touch if you say that. We are a family, Shuang'er is your eldest daughter, she Why don’t we come here? Besides, we missed the full moon ceremony, if we miss the Zhou ceremony again, in the future, the third sibling won’t let us go through this door, right, third brother?”

Du Xiancheng hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no! Your third sibling will never do this." After a pause, he continued: "If she really does this, the two sister-in-laws will tell me, I will never let you The two sisters-in-law were wronged."

Mrs. Tian nodded in satisfaction, stretched out her hand and waved behind her, "Hengji, Hengcai, come quickly to meet your third uncle. Aren't you always talking about missing your third uncle?" As he spoke, he gently pushed Du Xiancheng once more. He said, "Third brother, for more than a year, you really rarely go back to Luoyang. It is the foundation of our Du family, so don't forget about this."

Du Xiancheng took a step aside and looked back.

Two young men came out from the back porch.

The taller one is Du Hengji, who is seventeen this year, and the shorter one is his younger brother Du Hengcai, who is 15 years old this year.

Mrs. Sun also quickly waved back, "Henglan, Hengjiao, Heng'e, come here too!"

Three and a half-year-old children ran over behind Du Hengji and Du Hengcai.

Du Henglan is Sun's eldest son, 13 years old this year.Du Hengjiao and Du Heng'e are her two daughters. Hengjiao is ten years old, and Heng'e is Sun's husband, who was born in the year when Du Xiancheng's second brother joined the army. He is only seven years old this year.

Xiao Shiji stared at Du Hengji and Du Hengcai, who were like adults, and couldn't help asking Du Xiancheng: "Uncle Du, my mother said that men and women have different seats at seven years old, and children who are three feet old are not allowed to enter the inner house. These two people." He pointed Du Hengji and Du Hengcai, "They are more than...three feet."

Xiao Shiji's mother, that is, Xiao Xiangsheng's wife, Long Xiangye, is a daughter of a scholar's family. She has been educated since childhood and is very outstanding in a small family. Although she is not as beautiful as Fang Wuniang, she is dignified and gentle. There is a ladylike style.Xiao Xiangsheng valued her tutor, so he only hired three matchmakers and married her as his first wife.

Du Xiancheng knew that Xiao Shiji's mother was very polite, and explained to him with a smile, "Your mother is right. But there are exceptions to everything, for example, they are my close relatives, so there is no need to abide by these rules."

"Oh." Xiao Shiji responded with a vague understanding.

Their words attracted Du Heng'e's attention.She walked over with a smile, looked at Xiao Shiji's small face, turned around and said, "Mother, this little brother is so handsome!"

Du Heng'e is seven years old, Xiao Shiji is only four years old, and he is also a head taller than Xiao Shiji.

Xiao Shiji was furious, but knowing that he was Du Xiancheng's close relative, he didn't want to get angry, he just put on a face, pushed Du Heng'e away, and hid behind Du Xiancheng himself.

Being pushed, Du Heng'e staggered back a few steps, plunged into Sun's arms, felt ashamed, hugged Sun's high-waisted skirt tightly and refused to let go.

Covering her mouth with a round fan, Tian smiled and said, "Third brother, whose family's little brother is this? He is really handsome."

Although he was young, his facial features were surprisingly handsome, even more beautiful than a little girl.

Du Xiancheng withdrew his smile, and said calmly: "This is the eldest son of my righteous brother Brother Xiao."

Both the Tian family and the Sun family knew that Du Xiancheng's adopted brother was Xiao Xiangsheng, his former comrade in the army, and one of the two major salt merchants in Chang'an called "East Xiao and West Du".

Xiao Xiangsheng's salt store opened in the East Market of Chang'an City, and Du Xiancheng's salt store opened in the West Market of Chang'an City. Together, the two controlled almost [-]% of the salt supply in the north of the Huaihe River in Dazhou.

"Hey, this is Uncle Xiao's eldest son. I mean, he looks so familiar." Mrs. Sun immediately came to her senses, walked to Du Xiancheng's side, and looked behind him.

Xiao Shiji hid behind Du Xiancheng, his little brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

The Xiao family, that is also a wealthy family that is not inferior to the Du family.

Sun's eyeballs rolled around, turned around and pulled his daughter Du Heng'e over, and said to Du Xiancheng: "Third brother, second sister-in-law has never asked you anything. But today I hope you will help me for your niece's sake. Second sister-in-law is doing me a favor."

Du Xiancheng hurriedly said: "Second sister-in-law, feel free to say something, as long as it is something Xiancheng can do, she will definitely say it."

Sun smiled and pushed Du Heng'e behind Du Xiancheng, and collided with Xiao Shiji.

Xiao Shiji moved further and further to the side.

"Third brother, look, isn't your niece and this Young Master Xiao a match made in heaven?——Just trouble third brother, help us Heng'e to order Young Master Xiao to be his wife, and your second brother is not in vain for you , the love of dying on the battlefield." As he said, Sun wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

Du Xiancheng's face darkened, and he said to Sun: "Second sister-in-law, Shiji is not my child, I can't be his master. Besides, Heng'e is three years older than Shiji..."

Mrs. Tian listened at the side, walked up to Mrs. Sun with a smile, patted Mrs. Sun on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, you don't understand this. As the saying goes, female juniors hold gold bricks, this is the right way What about a beautiful marriage. Besides, our Du family and their Xiao family are the real match. You have fulfilled this marriage, not only your second sister-in-law who is alive, but also your dead second brother, and even our father under the nine springs Mother, I will always say good things about you."

Although Du Xiancheng respected the two sisters-in-law very much, he was not stupid, filial and brainless. It was just that the two sisters-in-law were so enthusiastic, he would not sweep their face, so he said indifferently: "Shiji is too young, he Parents once said that they would not give him such an early engagement. If Heng'e is willing to wait, he can wait for ten or eight years, and let's talk about it when he can get engaged."

In ten or eight years, Du Heng'e will become an old girl before she gets engaged. How can she afford to wait? ——This is a disguised rejection of Sun's proposal.

Mrs. Sun was a little embarrassed to come down from the stage, and her face was ugly for a while.

Mrs. Tian hurried to smooth things over, "Okay, ok, today is the day when our niece Hengshuang will catch up with her. Come on, let's go to the house to meet the third sibling and Shuang'er. ——Third brother, yours I entrust you to take care of my two nephews." Pushing his two sons, Du Hengji and Du Hengcai, to Du Xiancheng to take care of them.
