Original Collection

When Du Hengshuang heard that Xiao Shiji was rebuilding the yard of the new house in Xiao's house, he raised his head from the embroidery in front of him, and looked at the green ground in the yard and the exotic peonies in the corridor through the Qian screen window, he was stunned. for a long time.

Fang Wuniang was also in a very complicated mood, and deliberately gave Du Hengshuang a few days to spare, not to talk to her, and let her study the details by herself.

That day when Xu Shao came back from the yamen, his official robes were soaked in sweat.

Fang Wuniang smiled and went forward to help him tidy up, and ordered her mother-in-law to bring warm water in, let Xu Shao go in to take a bath, and personally picked out a cool and comfortable fine Gebu summer gown, put it on the bed in the back room, and waited for Xu Shao to come out after taking a bath put on.

Xu Shao washed away the heat all over his body, and the irritability in his heart dissipated a lot. Fang Wuniang smiled and said, "I will have dinner in the outer courtyard tonight, and I still have a few words to tell Yan Hui and Yan Bang."

When Xu Shao talked about the two sons of the original concubine, Fang Wuniang never answered, she just smiled and brought over a sapphire tray with a bowl of iced mung bean soup in it, and served Xu Shao to drink it slowly.

"Shuang'er is going to get married in August, right? Although she is not my own, but I watched her grow up. There is a relationship between relatives. I will add makeup to her tomorrow, so don't refuse." Xu Shao asked about the mung bean soup, and even the last bit of anger disappeared, and the eyes looking at Fang Wuniang became a little softer.

Fang Wuniang is also in her thirties, but she has always been pampered, besides, she is a person who does not use her energy, she is well maintained, and she is still amazingly beautiful. Standing with Du Hengshuang, she looks like her sister.Unlike her mother.

Xu Shao stretched out his hand, and gently tied up a strand of beautiful hair that was hanging down for Fang Wuniang.

"But Xue'er and I have a father-daughter relationship. Since she called me 'Father', I can't wrong her. You have to think about her marriage carefully. If the marriage is not good, I won't agree. "Xu Shao's impression of Du Hengxue was much better than that of Du Hengshuang.

However, that's about it.

Fang Wuniang understood what Xu Shao hadn't said, and curled her lips in disdain in her heart.With a smile on his face, he said: "I will go to see Xueer after Shuang'er is sent out. Xueer is young and not in a hurry. But Shuanger, even though it was a marriage arranged since childhood, I am still a little dissatisfied. Thinking about waiting."

Xu Shao's hand paused.As if nothing had happened, she moved away from Fang Wuniang's cheeks, stood up and said: "She is your daughter, you make the decision. I went to the outer courtyard." After finishing speaking, she turned around and went out.

Fang Wuniang supported her chest with one hand, leaned on the table and looked at Xu Shao's back, and sighed silently. ——The half-way couple lived like them, in fact, they were already signed.But he has sons.She has a daughter, and there has never been a life for the two of them.

"Take out the colorful satin that was rewarded from the former palace. Follow me to the eldest lady's room." Fang Wuniang ordered, and took her maidservant to Du Hengshuang's room.

When Du Hengshuang saw Fang Wuniang coming in, he quickly put down the embroidery frame in his hand, and called "Mother" with a smile.

Fang Wuniang stepped forward, took Du Hengshuang's hand, and carefully looked into her eyes.

Fortunately, just some bloodshot.It should be tired of rushing to work and embroidery for several days.

Eyelids are not red and swollen, and there are no tear marks on the face.She probably didn't hide and cry secretly.

Fang Wuniang nodded in satisfaction, and waved her hand to let all the maids who were serving in the room go down, then pulled Du Hengshuang to sit on the bamboo couch by the window, and asked in a low voice: "My mother hasn't come to talk to you these days, do you know what it is?" The reason?"

Du Hengshuang nodded slightly, "Mother wants me to let myself be quiet and think about my marriage."

Fang Wuniang squinted her eyes and smiled in satisfaction, stretched out her hand to support Du Hengshuang's chin, and saw that her face resembled her own, but her eyes were exactly the same as Du Xiancheng's.Although he has just turned 15 years old, he is calm and determined, with an indomitable spirit in it.

That is to say, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.She is a little girl's family, how does she know about troublesome things like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

The smile on Fang Wuniang's face gradually faded, replaced by worries about Du Hengshuang's future fate, she took Du Hengshuang's hand, and whispered: "Then what do you think?"

Du Hengshuang hesitated for a while, then said slowly: "I know Aunt Xiao doesn't like me very much, but my brother's heart is still towards me."

Fang Wuniang shook her head in disapproval, "Shuang'er, mother said something that made you sad. If Shiji's heart is with you, Long Xiangye is also his mother. He can not want his wife, but he can't want his mother, you understand ?"

Du Hengshuang bowed his head and remained silent.

"In my whole life, I have been with your father first. When I married him, he no longer had parents. I have never tasted the pain of my mother-in-law, and you have never seen her mother-in-law in any way to make things difficult for her daughter-in-law. Later I Remarried to an adult, he is not too young, and his parents are long gone. Although I am filling the house, I am still in charge of the house in the mansion. , I know, you are really older than me, and you were raised pampered, how can I be willing to let you marry into the Xiao family with your appearance?" Fang Wuniang persuaded earnestly.

After listening for a long time, Du Hengshuang suddenly raised her head and saw a white hair appearing on the side of her mother's temple. She was also filled with emotion, and finally said a word, "Mother, I still said that, Brother Ji is a sensible person, now that he knows the truth, he will not let me be wronged in the future."

"How do you know what will happen in the future?" Fang Wuniang hit Du Hengshuang calmly.The little girl is just beginning to fall in love, and she has the determination to make a choice like Du Hengshuang, which is not bad.Once again, Fang Wuniang deeply regretted making an appointment for Du Hengshuang so early.

Du Hengshuang held Fang Wuniang's hand firmly and forcefully, "Mother, father said, you can't give up eating because of choking. My aunt has many bad things, but being good to my brother, in my heart, can offset many of my aunt's bad things. And my brother recently Mother knows better than me what he is doing. He did not blindly obey, nor did he blindly oppose the family. He has done the best within his ability."

Fang Wuniang frowned and interrupted Du Hengshuang, "It's not good enough."

Du Hengshuang knew that Fang Wuniang's requirements were very high.He wished Xiao Shiji could leave Long Xiangye completely and move out to live alone with her.

"Brother Ji is the eldest son, mother, he has his responsibilities. If I marry in the past, I will be the eldest daughter-in-law, and I will also have my responsibilities. Don't worry, mother, I am not a persimmon and will not be manipulated by others. Prejudice, but the human heart is fleshy. After a long time, she will naturally know what is good and bad, and she will not embarrass me too much. Take a step back and say, if my brother and I divorced because of my aunt, I will do it again later. Looking for a husband and son-in-law. Can it be perfect? ​​Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, brother, which family doesn’t have these things? Does the mother still want to find a husband for me and my sister, and find two son-in-laws to come to the house?” Du Hengshuang said to the end , has already started to joke.

Fang Wuniang sighed softly, stroked Du Hengshuang's somewhat thin shoulders, shook her head and said, "That's all you need to do. I know that you are stubborn and not someone who can suffer. But your sister is different. She has a soft temper. If you meet someone like your Aunt Xiao, who can swallow her skin and bones, she is still helping people make wedding clothes. In short, I must keep my eyes open when choosing your sister's husband. And you will marry in the future After she is married, I will also help your sister to look good, and choose a husband with good character for her. You don't need to be rich and expensive. As long as you have a good character, you can treat her well for the rest of your life. Even if I give her all my private houses to accompany her Yes."

Du Hengshuang's heart skipped a beat, and she remembered the dream she had before. In the dream's flowing mirror, she seemed to have glimpsed something that hadn't happened yet.

Up to now, those things have been fulfilled one by one, for example, the "battle" between himself and the unknown soul.

And his own sister, will she really die amid poverty and illness?

Du Hengshuang's pupils shrank sharply, and after a long while, he said nonchalantly: "My sister's marriage, I will discuss it with my mother. Her dowry should be as many as possible. Why don't you give all the shops that father left behind to my sister. "Most of the Du family's property, Fang Wuniang had followed Du Xiancheng's advice when he was alive, and gave Du Hengshuang a dowry.

"Are you really willing to give your sister a part of the shop?" Fang Wuniang asked cautiously.She was unwilling to go against Du Xiancheng's last wish, but if Du Hengshuang offered to share the property with her sister, she would be happy to see it happen.

Du Hengshuang tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "My sister doesn't know much about business. If you give her the shop and don't know how to take care of it, it will harm her instead. Why don't we divide all the shops of the Du family into four. My mother will get one share, and my younger sister and I will each get a share. I will take care of the shop, and I will distribute dividends to my mother, younger brother and younger sister every year, is that okay?"

Fang Wuniang saw that Du Hengshuang gave away more than half of Nuo Da's family wealth without hesitation. Although it was for her younger brothers and sisters, there are many people in this world who even plot against their own parents for ten cents. With emotion, he said with a smile: "If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how expensive it is. When you get married in the future, you may regret today's decision."

Du Hengshuang smiled and shook his head, "Mother underestimated me. The shop father left behind is the capital, if I can't regenerate the capital several times, father is teaching me for nothing."

The Du family is a merchant's house. Ever since Fang Wuniang remarried to Xu Shao and it was inconvenient to take care of the Du family's property, Du Hengshuang began to learn to read the books and learn to do business with the shopkeeper of the Du family. Better than Lan's posture.

Fang Wuniang thought about Du Hengshuang's thoughts in the shop these years, and believed what she said today, and said with a smile: "If you think about it this way, I, a mother, must be on your side. How about it, I don't want my share." Yes, I will make a dowry for you. The shop is divided into four, and you take two. With half of the capital in hand, it is more legitimate for you to manage the shop."

Du Hengshuang was right when he thought about it, and he didn't refuse. He nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely take good care of the Du family's property and leave a way out for my younger brother and younger sister."

Seeing that Du Hengshuang had considered everything carefully, Fang Wuniang stopped trying to persuade her, and got up and said, "Then you should embroider your hijab carefully. In two days, the master of Yijinyuan will bring you a wedding gown for you to try on." .If there is something that needs to be changed, you should discuss it with the master yourself.”

Du Hengshuang sent Fang Wuniang out with a smile, finally letting go of a stone in his heart.

At this time Xu Shao was in his study, and also called Xu Yanhui and Xu Yanbang over to talk.

Xu Yanhui and Xu Yanbang stood in front of Xu Shao's desk with their hands down, thinking about what Xu Shao wanted them to do.

Xu Shao sat quietly for a while, and then slowly said: "I'm the one who greeted Dali Temple about the matter, just dismiss him. ——He's not guilty of death, Boss, do you understand me?"

Xu Yanhui moved his body, "Father's arrangement is of course good, but it's just that the old man took advantage of it."

"It's just greed, dismissal and never being hired is enough. After all, it's a human life, and you are still young, so there's no need to carry a burden for this family." Xu Shao said slowly, as if he knew what Xu Yanhui was doing in private.

"I am naturally happy that you can love your brothers and sisters. The Guan family and the Xiao family are too deceitful, so we should show them a little bit of color. Don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. Shuang'er's mother is my wife, they are like this Counting on Shuang'er, she just doesn't take me seriously. Although Xiao Shiji is capable, but there is no place for him to be obliged by King Yi County. His mother is thinking about pressing Shuang'er right now, lest she enter the door Although the idea is good, it is too short-sighted. If Shuang'er hadn't insisted on marrying Xiao Shiji, I would have let the Xiao family have nothing again right now." Xu Shao's face is white and bearded, and he has the image of a refined literati, but The words that came out were cold and without any emotion.

Xu Yanhui was a little moved by this, and couldn't help raising his head and asked: "The Xiao family treats her like this, and she still wants to marry?!"

"What she?! Who is she?!—She is your younger sister! Put away your unethical and goddamn thoughts as soon as possible! Both Shuang'er and Xue'er will marry in a dignified manner, and you should also discuss marriage Wife is gone, please take care of yourself and stop messing around." Xu Shao's words were soft and hard, although he scolded Xu Yanhui, he was actually beating Xu Yanbang.

Under Xu Shao's fury, Xu Yanhui and Xu Yanbang didn't dare to say anything.Besides, Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue are indeed their sisters in terms of etiquette, and this cannot be changed.

Xu Yanhui and Xu Yanbang walked out of Xu Shao's study, all the way silent.

When approaching Xu Yanhui's courtyard, Xu Yanhui stopped Xu Yanbang and asked, "Do you want to go in and sit?"

Xu Yanbang shook his head, "I'll go back and rest, I'm tired and don't want to talk."

Xu Yanhui took a deep look at him, and said in a low voice: "I can't help it, I'm going to get married soon. You... just take care of yourself."
