Chapter 167

Mrs. Zhu saw Du Yu for the first time, so she asked the maids to take the box and gave her a meeting gift.

Since his father became an official, Du Yu has received many greeting gifts, so he has already gotten used to it.Thanked Mrs. Zhu and asked Xiaomo to put it away.

And Mrs. Zhu also brought a granddaughter she liked, and Mrs. Hu also took off a bracelet she was wearing, saying it was for a little girl to wear.

The Zhu family is rich, and there is no shortage of good things. What is rare is that the magistrate of the county can give face and give a gift, even if it is ordinary things, for them, it will make their face bright.

Mrs. Zhu also has a lot of granddaughters who were born to concubines. Those who can appear in front of Mrs. Zhu and please her are not stupid or stupid, so they happily accepted the bracelet from Mrs. Hu.

Mrs. Zhu's daughter, Mrs. Zhu, also came to pay respects to her mother's birthday. She is now in the Zhu family, and her status has improved a lot, because now she is the mother of a scholar. Whenever Zhu Dahu mentioned that grandson, he would be very happy, so give it back. There are many things in Haven.

Even Zhu's elder brother and younger brothers are not stingy with these things. After all, they have money, and the most important thing they need is money.

When Mrs. Zhu saw Mrs. Hu, she was also very respectful. Du Yu found that Mrs. Zhu's attitude towards them was the same as that of respected elders.

The Zhu family also has a special theater building, which is two stories high. This time Mrs. Zhu celebrated her birthday and said that she invited a theater troupe from the provincial capital to sing for five days and five nights.

Du Yu was accompanied by a little girl from the Zhu family, as well as Qin Wanniang. The little girls listened very attentively. Even Du Yu found it very pleasant to listen to. It was a bit like the tone of Huangmei Opera, but it was completely different. The little girl said, this is the Deqing class from the provincial capital, and there are several famous actors in it, such as Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Bailing, who can't easily come out to sing.

This time, their Zhu family also spent a lot of money to invite people here.

"Miss Du, if you feel bored, just tell me, and I will take you to our garden."

Because the Zhu family is rich, the house occupies a large area, and the garden is also very well maintained.

Du Yu shook his head and smiled, "I'll just watch the play, the troupe sing really well."

Since the guests are not going out, Miss Zhu will not insist on dragging them to the garden for a stroll.

What Du Yu thought was that the little wife of Zhu's big family would have many children, and if he met a few in the garden, it would be bad if something happened, so he should stay here honestly. People who are generally quiet are less likely to have accidents than those who like to watch the excitement.

Mrs. Hu took Du Yu to eat lunch and then left, which was considered as a face to the Zhu family.

And when Mrs. Zhu heard what her confidant mother-in-law came to report, she was already furious in her heart!
When she was celebrating her birthday, such an ugly thing happened, it really slapped her in the face too much.

It turns out that there are many concubines in the big Zhu family, and now the most favored ones are the young ones, those who are sixteen or seventeen years old. Among them is Xiangqiao, who just entered the house not long ago. She turned out to be the daughter of a fisherman. Because of his good looks, Zhu Dahu took a fancy to him, so he brought them back and doted on him very much.

Mrs. Zhu is used to this kind of thing. Anyway, no matter how many women Zhu Dahu brings back, she is a regular wife, and no one can shake her.

But this Xiangqiao actually took advantage of Mrs. Zhu's life, and the family was busy with the affairs ahead, so she had private meetings with others.

It was discovered by another concubine, and she was about to stab Zhu Dahu directly. It was Mrs. Zhu's eldest daughter-in-law who decisively concealed the news, otherwise it would be really embarrassing and thrown outside.

These concubines only know how to intrigue and don't care about Zhu's family's face at all, and today is Mrs. Zhu's birthday. If the big family of Zhu finds out, it may be spread out by then. The grandson who is studying in the county school, and the grandson who has become a scholar, will be ridiculed!
So she asked people to guard Xiangqiao and another concubine who bumped into someone and wanted to sue. Forgive Mrs. Zhu, she didn't know the name of the concubine who complained. There were too many of them. How could she have one? Remember, anyway, the master can afford it, a month is just a waste of money, as long as it doesn't bother her!
"Striving and being jealous, you're going to make trouble in front of outsiders. Master, who do you usually spoil? Did I say anything? But the face of the Zhu family, you can't lose it! It's hard to send the children to the county school, and they have that hope , and now it is ruined by these things, what do you say?"

Zhu Dahu said: "It goes without saying, I sold it directly. It's a worry-free thing."

Mrs. Zhu said: "What are you selling? There are only buyers in our family, and no sellers. I think that, each person sends a little money and sends it back to each family. That's Xiangqiao. I also asked, and that person is her." My cousin, I said before that we should be kind now, so you just give in, it's just a joke, let people go back, and lovers will eventually get married, which is also a merit of yours."

Zhu Dahu said: "Madam, you can figure it out. I don't have any opinions here, but if they talk about Tulu, then our family will be talked about?"

Mrs. Zhu said: "We have treated them like this. If they still say it, then they are not kind. At that time, they were just a little girl, and our Zhu family has no way to treat them?"

"That's right. My wife is wise. So be it."

The woman went with this one, and another one, he didn't have to have that one.When a man reaches his age, he doesn't pay much attention to love. He just thinks that this young girl looks very lively, and he also feels young.

The fisher girl named Xiangqiao originally had a childhood sweetheart cousin, but later her family’s fishing boat was lost by the storm, and the family had no money to buy another boat, so it seemed that they could no longer make ends meet. , so her father was ruthless, so he gave her to Zhu Dahu. In the hearts of these fishermen, Zhu Dahu is a very big boss. Basically, the things they fished were collected by Zhu Dahu's family. Xiangqiao was also good-looking and young, so Zhu Dahu took it in, and then Xiangqiao had a new fishing boat at home.

This time when my cousin came to see me, it was because Xiangqiao heard that my mother was sick, and my cousin came to deliver a letter to me, who knew that I had already been targeted.

When she was imprisoned, she was terrified of dying, so she was soaked in a pig cage, or directly sent to Sea Dragon King.

But now someone told her that not only was she fine, but now the master gave her some money, set her free, and let her go with her cousin.

This, is this really true?Xiangqiao really couldn't believe it.

"Ma'am, can I really go?" Xiangqiao asked in disbelief.

"If you tell you to go, you can go. Our master and wife are not the kind of people with small intestines. Besides, there is no point in staying here for those who are not willing. Our wife said that their Zhu family is not a villain. , consider it a good deed.”

Xiangqiao was told that her cousin had also been released, and was waiting for him to go home together at the back door. Xiangqiao carefully took the package from Zhu's family, went to the back door, and saw her cousin.

The two checked the situation, and then opened the package, and there was still money. Only then did they know it was true. The two hugged each other and cried, thinking that they really met a kind person.

Xiangqiao's cousin has been waiting for Xiangqiao, now that his dream has come true, can you not be excited?

However, before leaving, cousin Xiangqiao said to Xiangqiao: "The Zhu family has a great kindness to us, and I can't be an ungrateful person. I have something to talk to Master Zhu about."

"You want to see me? It's not enough for me to wear a green hat, you want to see me?" Zhu Dahu said angrily, although he had already graciously let him go, the pleasure is not to see this person, right? He's not really out of this world.

But Mrs. Zhu said: "If you can think of this, others can't think of it. I must have something to tell you, otherwise I will come to see you at the risk of being scolded by you. This person is not a fool, just take a look. Whatever happened, it might still be beneficial to us.”

After hearing his wife's words, Zhu Dahu said, "Sure, let's meet him and see what he has to say."

Xiangqiao's cousin came over and told Zhu Dahu what he knew without ambiguity. Zhu Dahu listened calmly and said, "How can I believe what you said?"

"Master Zhu, what good will it do me if I lied to you? Just don't tell me, I feel uneasy, so hurry up and get ready, it's my repayment!"

It turned out that when Xiangqiao's cousin was out fishing, he happened to see a group of people on a nearby island. Those people looked like pirates, and they said they were going to go ashore to get a ticket. They also talked about Zhu Dahu's house, saying His family is rich.

Xiangqiao's cousin hurried over to meet his cousin because he was worried that Xiangqiao would be implicated. If Zhu Dahu hadn't spared them like this, he wouldn't have said that, after all, those people were pirates.What did he say they were doing?
It can be buried in the heart completely.After hearing this, Zhu Dahu said that he knew it, but Xiangqiao's cousin can take someone away, so don't mention this matter in the future, so as not to cause trouble for himself!

"I think this is true in eight or nine out of ten cases. Master, we have to be on guard, but these pirates usually rob at sea, and they are going to go ashore suddenly? Our Peng Ze, even if he is robbed, he will Nothing."

Zhu Dahu said: "Maybe it's not in Pengze, but in my warehouse near the sea." Zhu Dahu said.

"Those storerooms are just seafood, and it's useless to steal them." Pirates still lack this?
"No, I have to discuss it with someone. This matter must not be sloppy, or our Zhu family will suffer a big fall." Zhu Dahu was in a hurry to leave.

Mrs. Zhu hurriedly said: "As far as I'm concerned, it's better to find the county magistrate and ask the county magistrate for protection. There are very few pirates here in our place. It hasn't happened in so many years. Now they suddenly appeared. Am I not Said, what the person said just now was a lie, I always feel that someone might have set us up for this matter.

Besides, there are really pirates, and we asked the county magistrate to wipe them out, so the credit is not for the county magistrate, but it is also good for the county magistrate. "
