Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 300
Huang Lishu knew that the members of the Zhao family were very satisfied with Sima Jing. Du Xiaoyu had already written a letter to Feixian County, and the Sima family also supported the marriage between the two families. Be more diligent, run around for the shop every day, and just came back from Qingzhou to buy some jade today, and I don't care about rest, so I have to run out in a hurry.

Mrs. Zhao stopped him, pointed at his face, and said, "Look at how thin you have become. You have been traveling back and forth with the car for more than ten days. How can you not rest? Even hard-working people can't do this!"

"It's okay, I'm fine, and thinner people look better, Xiaoyu said." Huang Lishu didn't care. His enthusiasm for the shop was not without reason. After all, Sima's family was also a wealthy businessman's family. Shi, I really want to marry her in the future. I am just a poor scholar. To be honest, if there is no Li family and Bai family, he is not worthy at all.You can only be more diligent and learn more knowledge, so that you will be able to be independent in the future.

"Hey, you child, listen to your aunt, don't go out today, you have to rest for a day, if you are exhausted, how can I explain to your mother?" After finishing speaking, he asked Caiping to bring a bowl of ginseng from the kitchen. Chicken soup, "It was originally for the little fish, but now I think you have to make up for it."

Huang Lishu had no choice but to take a few sips to drink.

Du Xiaoyu was lying on the beauty's couch, holding a thorny wood lotus light Luoling fan in his hand, and said with a smile, "It looks good if you are thin, but if you get thinner, you will become numb. Miss Sima I don't even recognize you."

"Where is it so exaggerated, hey, I don't go to the shop today." He moved a chair and sat down beside Du Xiaoyu, looked at the big belly and smiled, "It's good to accompany my nephew."

After the two chatted for a while, Huang Lishu went in to sleep.

Just as Du Xiaoyu was about to sit up and walk around the yard, he saw a young boy running in in a hurry. He looked very flustered and almost tripped over a flower pot.

The boy was named Da Luo, and he usually accompanied Du Wentao. Seeing him coming back at this moment, Mrs. Zhao's heart sank, and she asked, "What's going on? You shouldn't be staying in the Hou's mansion, Wen Tao?" ?”

Da Luo stammered, "The young master is here, but in the Hou Mansion, something happened..."

Zhao's expression changed immediately, and he shouted, "What happened? What happened to Wen Tao?"

Du Xiaoyu also stared at Dagong closely.

"No, it's not the young master's accident, it's the young master of the Hou Mansion." Da Luo kept waving his hands, "But it has something to do with the young master, and the young master, so I come back and report to my wife and aunt."

The young master of Hou Mansion?There were two young masters studying with Du Wentao, and Du Xiaoyu hurriedly asked, "Which young master is it? What happened, tell me quickly!"

"It's Master Tingxiu, he fell into the water."

Zhong Tingxiu is the youngest son of the Marquis of Wen An, and he is also the most favored on weekdays. When Mrs. Zhao heard that he was related to Du Wentao when he fell into the water, he was so frightened that he couldn't help shaking, and asked in a trembling voice, "How could he have something to do with Wen Tao?" ?”

Daluo shrank his head and said, "I don't know, young master, Tingrui, Tingxiu, and the three young masters of Ding's family are studying together this afternoon. Later, the master has to leave for something, so I asked them to rest for a while, young one. I originally followed the young master, but the third young master of the Ding family said that we were in the way and told us servants to stay away. The other young master's followers have all gone, and it is not good for the young one to stay. The villain just chatted with Xiao Song outside the door , Who would have expected that something would happen within half an hour, Master Tingxiu drowned in the pond."

"Then how is Young Master Tingxiu now? Does it matter?" Du Xiaoyu asked, "If Wen Tao doesn't come back, is it because the Hou Mansion won't let him come back or something?"

"He was rescued, but he was still in a coma. The young master refused to come back. In fact, the Hou Mansion didn't know what happened in the middle."

When Du Xiaoyu heard this, he hurriedly asked Caiping to prepare the sedan chair, and Mrs. Zhao also wanted to follow. Du Xiaoyu stopped him, "Mother just wait for the news at home, I will definitely find out."

"Be careful yourself." Mrs. Zhao thought that she might not be able to help if she went, and that it would be even worse if she was too worried about Du Wentao and said something she shouldn't say, so she decided not to go. Daughter be careful.

When we arrived at the Hou's Mansion, Mrs. Tong greeted him at first, "I was thinking of sending someone to take Wen Tao back, but he refused, so you can come here. Actually, no one is to blame for this matter. The two children have a little dispute because of Inevitably, I have already told my mother that Wen Tao has a gentle temper, so he must have been careless..."

Du Xiaoyu's heart sank when he heard this, why has this matter been found out?It sounds like Du Wentao got Zhong Tingxiu into the water.

Tong looked at her face, "I know that Wen Tao is a good boy, but mother always loves Tingxiu the most, even her husband can't compare to her." The meaning in the words is obvious, Mrs. Hou is blaming Du Wentao .

"It's really Wen Tao's fault, I will definitely teach him well." Both Du Xiaoyu and Tong Shi have straightforward temperaments, and she doesn't beat around the bush, "I just don't believe that Wen Tao would do such a thing. Young Master Tingxiu, two people? Why would they argue? Wen Tao is not a person who uses his emotions."

Mrs. Tong took her hand and sat down on the stone bench outside, "Master's family has something to go out today and let them arrange it themselves. Later, the four of them went to Yunquan Pool and heard from the third young master of the Ding family that today The master asked a question, and both Wen Tao and Ting Xiu answered it, but the master said that Ting Xiu answered better, so Wen Tao was a little unhappy." Then he glanced at Du Xiaoyu, "Wen Tao is talented in literature and martial arts, None of our young masters can compare, this is a rare time to beat him."

Du Xiaoyu said with certainty, "Wen Tao is not such a narrow-minded person, even if he loses once, he will never have any dissatisfaction with Tingxiu."

Tong did not comment on this. After all, Tingxiu is from the Zhong family. She couldn't turn her elbows completely out, and continued, "Tingxiu may have made a mistake. It is rare for him to win. He is happy in his heart and keeps fighting in front of Wen Tao. Show off, and then when I turned my back to the pool, I was pushed into the water."

"Ah!" Du Xiaoyu exclaimed, "Wen Tao would never do that!"

This is a blatant murder of human life!
"Where are the other two people? Did they really see Wen Tao doing this?"

"Tingrui just happened to be tired. He closed his eyes and rested. He didn't see anything. That's what the third young master of the Ding family said." Tong Shi also thought it was a one-sided statement, but it was connected back and forth. After all, the child is a child. Maybe Du Wentao really Because of being irritated by Tingxiu, it may not be certain that she will really do this.

Hearing the third young master of the Ding family, Du Xiaoyu sneered to himself, birds of a feather really flock together, as expected Ruan Yu did not do good things by bringing him in, but it is hard to guard against, this is in the Hou Mansion, these three young masters are so courageous !
"Wen Tao didn't say anything?" She stood up.

"Just say that he didn't do it, and don't say anything else."

Tong Shi then led her to a main room in a side courtyard. Du Wentao was standing there motionless with his back to the door, and turned around when he heard Du Xiaoyu.

"I heard Mrs. Zhong say that you don't want to come back?" She said softly.

Du Wentao's eyes were red. He had been holding back his tears just now. Seeing his relatives now, the grievance in his heart was overwhelming, but he didn't cry in the end, he just wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

"Second sister, I didn't do it. I didn't push Tingxiu into the water."

"I believe you, so you can say it now? Who pushed it?"

"He slipped and fell down, Ding Qigao didn't even notice, so he framed me with nonsense!"

"Then why didn't you talk to Mrs. Hou Fu just now?"

Du Wentao bit his lip and said angrily, "Ding Qigao made things clear in front of his wife as soon as he came, no matter how much I defend myself, my wife won't believe me, she will only think that I'm just trying to shirk."

"But you don't want to plead guilty, so you won't leave, right?" Du Xiaoyu asked.

He nodded heavily.

Mrs. Tong still likes Du Wentao very much, so when she asked something suspicious, "The third son of the Ding family said that you were dissatisfied with Tingxiu's answering better than you, so he wanted to vent his anger. Although I don't believe it, the servants all said it was true, Tingxiu How do you convince people when you win the first time and then you fall in the water?"

Du Wentao hesitated for a while, "Master can testify for me, but I don't want others to know." Just now a large group of people gathered around the main house, if he told the story in person, it would inevitably spread in the future.

The other two looked at each other, not knowing what he meant.

"Tingxiu has always worked very hard in his studies, but he lags behind me every time. He has been unhappy about this recently. I deliberately lost him this time to make him happy. Master can definitely see it. Because of this problem, I once secretly I asked my master." He said it in one breath, a little ashamed, and said in a low voice, "If Tingxiu finds out about this, he will definitely resent me as I look down on him, but I, I just want to use this to motivate him .”

With such a pure heart, Tong could not help but be very moved, and sighed, "It turns out that you are a child with good intentions, and we all blamed you."

Du Xiaoyu hugged Du Wentao with a smile, and said confidently to Tong Shi, "I said he is not such a person, do you believe it now?"

"I'm going to tell my mother right now." Tong looked at Du Wentao tenderly, "Tingrui and Tingxiu are lucky to have a friend like you, but I think you should stop letting Tingxiu. This kid is easy to be complacent, and it’s hard for him to show off triumphantly after seeing him win once, it’s hard for you to always be ahead of him, so that he has a goal to work hard on.”

"If the string is taut, it will break. I think Tingxiu is too nervous about his performance. Let him win once to boost his confidence. Why not?" Du Xiaoyu had the opposite opinion.

Tong Shi laughed, "What you said is also reasonable. In the future, when we raise children, we need to communicate well." After finishing speaking, she went to Mrs. Hou's mansion to explain the matter.
