Original Collection

Xu Shao didn't know what to say, and after a long time, he said softly: "You were too much back then. Killing the king and father, and finally killing the whole house, why bother? Your father is sorry for you Mother, I'm sorry, but other people in the house..."

An Zichang raised his thin lips, and his slender phoenix eyes sparkled, "...I killed them because they deserved to die. They are the bastards of my father who is not as good as a beast. Since they are so 'filial', I will send them to you." They go to hell together, to accompany the old man to fulfill his filial piety."

Xu Shao was speechless, knowing that An Zi was often talking about his concubine brothers and sisters.

"Uncle, it's not that you don't know how powerful my father is. When he was going to marry my mother, didn't he promise you that no one would go past her? But she had only been in the door for two months, and a woman who was three years old The eldest son knelt at the door of her room, begging her to give them a way out. My mother’s first child was so lifeless. In fact, I am my mother’s second child. The first The child, I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl, so it’s just gone.” An Zi often wiped his face with his hands, “Forget it, let’s not talk about these things, they’re all dead anyway, early death and early reincarnation. As for me, I never planned to live a long life in this life."

"Your father was born very well. In fact, I didn't approve of my younger sister, that is, your mother marrying your father. But my younger sister insisted on marrying, and An Guohou also insisted on marrying, so I had no choice but to fulfill them. However, If I don't marry, I won't have you today." Xu Shao forced a smile.

An Zichang followed suit with a smile, "What's the use of being well-born. Women are just stupid. When I see a man with a straight face, I don't want to let it go. You have to fly moths to the flame, and you will know how powerful it is when you are burned."

Beautiful men, like beautiful women, are the most deceitful.

Xu Shao finally frowned, showed his uncle's money, and said majesticly: "Stop talking nonsense. To be serious, Muhou's mansion sent me a message, which is interesting to you. I want to tell you about a marriage, You must go to the autumn banquet in three days. Did you hear that?"

An Zichang stood up lazily, and said in a drawn out voice, "Go, definitely go, I'll go dressed up colorfully... Hahahaha..." Laughing out of the study.

In the afternoon.The most prestigious families in Luoyang City have all received invitations for the Muhou family's autumn banquet.

In Xu Shao's Sima Mansion, Fang Wuniang saw that there was a special post for Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue. She was very happy. She took the post in person and went to the embroidery building where Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue lived. The autumn banquet at the Hou Mansion. You two sisters must tidy up well, so that no one will take you lightly."

Du Hengshuang looked at the post.He asked, "Are they newcomers?" If they weren't newcomers, why did they suddenly think of inviting the two of them to visit?In the past, those aristocratic families in Luoyang usually avoided the two sisters with good intentions.

Fang Wuniang clapped her palms and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter when they came, anyway, this time, you two sisters must give me credit." Saying that, she wanted to help Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue match the clothes and jewelry for going out.

Du Hengxue said that something happened, but she didn't know where she went.

Du Hengshuang was alone in Xiulou's room.After listening to Fang Wuniang's persuasion for a long time, she still didn't want to go.Holding the invitation card in his hand, he read it over and over again, and said softly: "Mother, can I not go?"

Fang Wuniang was taken aback.She hadn't heard Du Hengshuang call her "mother" for four years, her nose felt a little sore for a moment, and her voice became softer, "I know you don't want to go, but think about your sister..."

Du Hengshuang understood immediately.

Ou Yangniang had taught her that the various banquets and entertainment activities of these aristocratic families are actually occasions to see son-in-law and daughter-in-law in disguise.

When I was in Chang'an before, there were various flower fairs held by the Princess Mansion, which brought together the noble girls who came together every year to let everyone show their talents.

Du Hengshuang was already engaged, so of course he didn't want to join in the fuss.

But Du Hengxue has not been found yet.Although she is only 11 years old, engagements are always done sooner rather than later.Just like going to the market to buy things, if you go late, only broken and defective products are waiting for you.

Du Hengshuang loves this younger sister the most, and Du Hengxue is soft-tempered, so he really needs to choose carefully for the husband-in-law.

"Mother, the people who will go tomorrow are from aristocratic families. But according to my younger sister's temperament, she may not be able to marry those aristocratic families as a daughter-in-law. According to my daughter, it is better to find a family with a good family for her. As long as the population is simple and the family is harmonious, it will be fine." " Du Hengshuang also wanted to persuade Fang Wuniang.Although it is said that marrying a daughter is more expensive than marrying a daughter-in-law, there are also many families with low-married daughters who live more comfortably than those with high-married daughters.

In a word, as long as the mother's family can help, and I can live up to it, no matter whether it is a low-marriage or a high-marriage, you can live a good life.But if she can't stand up by herself, even a princess will sometimes be bullied by her son-in-law.

Fang Wuniang didn't take it seriously, "Shuang'er, you are a child, and you don't understand many things. Your husband's family will be either rich or expensive in the future, how can you let your sister marry only a small family? ——The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat , I want at least a bowl of water to be flat. Don’t say any more, pack it up, and go to Muhou Mansion for a banquet in three days. I will go too, and the two concubine daughters of the master, oh, yes, the young master and the second daughter The young master is going too."

Du Hengshuang knew that he was talking about Xu Yanhui and Xu Yanbang, so he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, "Are men also invited?"

"Autumn banquet, autumn banquet, it's not a women's banquet, why don't you invite men? You're so funny." Fang Wuniang smiled for a while, and then took the maidservant back to the main room to be a director.

When lighting the lanterns at night, Fang Wuniang ordered her maidservant to bring over two boxes of jewelry for Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue to choose from.

When Du Hengxue heard that she was going to a banquet, she was so happy, she wished she could find all her suitcases and ask Du Hengshuang to help her choose them.

Du Hengshuang helped her choose a pink-blue short jacket, smoke-colored half-arms, and a light blue skirt. The jewelry on her head was from Du Hengshuang's collection. The goods purchased from the merchant in France are specially reserved for Du Hengshuang.

Du Hengshuang felt that it was more suitable for Du Hengxue, and originally kept it and planned to give it to her when she was old, and now it just came in handy.

As expected, Du Hengxue fell in love with that set of aquamarine head and face jewelry, and even wanted to leave Du Hengshuang's huanghuali wooden box in which the jewelry was placed.

Seeing Du Hengshuang's big maid, Zhihua's mouth twitched, her heart ached to death.

While sleeping at night, Zhihua asked Du Hengshuang: "Miss, this is our unique set of aquamarine face, you just gave it to Miss [-] like this?——This is a good thing that can't be bought with money, And it's a thought left by the master..."

Du Hengshuang glanced at her, and said indifferently: "Talky. My father is also Xue'er's biological father. Since he left behind his thoughts, Xue'er also has a part. That set of jewelry, although expensive, doesn't look good on my head. , is still more suitable for Xueer."

Zhihua tilted her head and thought for a long time, and said: "The lady is still generous. If the servant has such precious jewelry, even if the servant wears it as ugly as the aunt who sells pork, the servant will not be willing to give it away." Du Hengshuang smiled, scolded "poor mouth" with a smile, and lay down to sleep.

Two or three days passed quickly, and the aristocratic families in Luoyang City were busy going to the autumn banquet in Muhou Mansion these days.

Although the world is chaotic and the people's livelihood is difficult, for the dignitaries and nobles, they are still drunk today, and they are constantly collecting news about cities, counties and counties in the middle of King Qi, and all of them raise their hopes.

Luoyang has long been ruled by King Qi.

Today is the day of the autumn banquet.

When Du Hengshuang got up early in the morning, he began to tidy up and play with Du Hengxue himself.

After changing her clothes, combing her hair, and picking out a few aquamarine jewelry to put on, Du Hengxue's eyes and teeth became brighter and more charming.

Du Hengxue's maid, Zhishu, brought over rouge and wanted to put makeup on her.

Du Hengshuang looked at it carefully, then shook his head and said, "No need. My sister is naturally beautiful, and now she's young, so it's not good to wear makeup."

Of course Du Hengxue listened to her sister and refused to put on rouge.

After they had breakfast, they went to meet Fang Wuniang.

The other two concubines, Second Miss and Fourth Miss, were already waiting there.

Fang Wuniang was dressed in a pomegranate dress with scattered flowers and a smoky-colored cloak, with a gold-encrusted jade full of chignon inserted in the middle of her hair bun, and her aura immediately became extraordinary.

Live in the body, raise Yi Qi.

Having been Mrs. Sima for four years, Fang Wuniang is no longer the direct wife of that merchant.Every gesture has the majesty of an official's wife.

Du Hengshuang brought Du Hengxue into the main room, and after paying respects to Fang Wuniang, Fang Wuniang stood up with a smile: "It's getting late, let's go."

Outside the gate of the Xu family, two carts were prepared.Fang Wuniang originally planned to take her two daughters in one car, and the two concubines took the other car together.

Xu Yanhui and Xu Yanbang stood beside the cart on horseback.

Xu Yanhui was wearing a black Futou and a silver-gray robe bordered with lace.Xu Yanbang was wearing a gray Futou and a blue-gray robe bordered with lace.

Seeing Fang Wuniang coming out with the four ladies, Xu Yanhui and Xu Yanbang both got off their horses and nodded slightly to her.

Fang Wuniang nodded, "The two young masters have to work hard today."

"What did Madam say, the two younger sisters will have to work hard today." Xu Yanhui said lightly, but he smiled meaningfully at Du Hengshuang.

Du Hengshuang ignored him, took his younger sister and followed Fang Wuniang forward.

Xu Yanhui raised his fist and coughed lightly.

Second Miss Xu understood, and begged with a smile: "Mother is going out on behalf of our Xu family to socialize, should I take my fourth sister and me in the car? After all, mother's big car is the car that represents the Sima Mansion. The car at the back was originally for the guests of Xu's family." After speaking, he led the fourth lady forward, pushed Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue aside, and led the fourth lady to climb into the cart where Fang Wuniang was sitting.
