Chapter 257

Du Yu seemed very relaxed. The Ji family settled down on the marriage of their youngest son, so they paid special attention to Du Yu's stomach, for fear that Du Yu might feel uncomfortable.

When it was time to give birth, Du Yu was not even allowed out of the yard, and stayed by Du Yu's side all day long, waiting for Du Yu to have an attack at any time.

One night at the end of September, Du Yu finally gave birth to a little boy after two hours.

Now Du Yu can be regarded as having both sons and daughters!

When Yuan Yuan saw her younger brother, she felt that he was not as good-looking as she imagined, so she complained a few words, and was told by everyone, and then Yuan Yuan felt that she was neglected, and everyone didn't like her anymore, so she still cried In the first scene, Hu Xin coaxed her for a long time, and then said that even if there is a younger brother, everyone likes her, but because the younger brother is younger, everyone should love her even more. Yuan Yuan is also a sister, so naturally It is more necessary to love and protect the younger brother.

Yuan Yuan said that he will take good care of his younger brother in the future, because she is an older sister, and when she becomes an older sister, she will be different from before.

How can I compete with my younger brother for things?

As long as children listen to the words, they are often more effective than adults.

At first, Du Yu was worried that Yuan Yuan would be spoiled, but seeing her like this now, she felt that she was worrying too much.

Hu Xin asked Uncle Hu to name his son, and Uncle Hu said, "I'm not very literate, so you should choose."

"Father, you can name me and Xing'er very well, why can't you choose your grandson's name?"

Uncle Hu knew that Hu Xin was doing it for his own good, so he thought about it for several days, and finally named his grandson Hu Kang, which means good fortune and longevity, and his nickname is Ping An. Peace and security is the best.

Xiaoping'an's full moon wine was very lively, and the Hu family also held a banquet, and many people came to the door, and those who did not receive the post were not invited, so that they could hardly sit down in the end.

"I see you, this house should be changed. It looks a bit small now. We will entertain guests in the future. If this happens all the time, it's not good." Grandma Wang said to Du Yu as a visitor. .

Du Yu said: "I also want to change it, but I haven't been able to find a suitable one. Let's take a look at it first, and ask the dental shop to find it for us."

Hu Bing is really going to get married in the future, so we can't let him live in the wing room, even now that they have two children, they still feel a bit cramped.

There are several maidservants and nurses for the children. If Hu Bing's child is born by then, it will be difficult to live there.

Moreover, Yuanyuan is also growing up slowly, and in the future, she will have to have a separate courtyard, even if it is a cross-courtyard, at least there is a private space.

So the three-entry house is obviously not enough.

It's just that houses in the capital are also in short supply, and it's not so easy to find them.

Now they don't lack the money to buy a house, they just need a good house.

Grandma Wang said: "Let me also help to ask, a good house is hard to find."

Because she has become an in-law, Grandma Wang is not an outsider, and she will help with this matter if she can.

Du Yu nodded, saying that it would be great if he really found it.

After Du Yu finished confinement, it was winter. This year passed so quickly, it passed in the blink of an eye.

If the days are going well, the time will fly fast, but if the days are difficult, it will feel like years.

No, another two years have passed.

Du Erlang also passed the Juren examination and became a Juren, but he didn't take the examination in the second year of Chunwei because he felt that he was not sure enough, and Tian's grandfather died of illness last year, so Du Erlang took Tian Shi and two sons rushed back to Yunyang County to see Mr. Tian off.

Because of her grandfather's death, Tian was also seriously ill, and it took her a long time to recover, because now she has a child and a husband, she has to cheer up, and when a person has someone to love, he can quickly get out of adversity, So is Tian.

As the grandson-in-law, Du Erlang was dedicated to Mr. Tian's funeral, which made everyone sigh with emotion and admiration, thinking that the Du family's family education is good, and Mr. Tian's vision in choosing his grandson-in-law is good.

Don't say anything else, let's just say that Mr. Tian has to send a lot of things every year, and then find someone to take care of Mr. Tian. He originally wanted to bring Mr. Tian to the capital. I don't mind, it's just that Mr. Tian disagreed with his life and death, and felt that he was used to staying in Jinxi Academy, and he would be unaccustomed to go to the capital, so he didn't force it in the end.

But Du Youxian and Du Youde went to visit Mr. Tian in person during the holidays and took good care of him, which was enough for any family.

After all, Mr. Tian just married a granddaughter, and she didn't take care of her, and no one was wrong, but the Du family took care of everything, so the Du family was kind.

Yuan Yuan is five years old, and Ping An is two years old. After two years, they have grown up.

Last year, Grandma Wang's daughter also married, and now she is really pregnant.

Before Mrs. Wang married, Du Yu and Hu Xin had already bought a four-entry house, which was still lived in by an official. They sold the house because they were going to retire from their old age, but the main reason was that the family could not make ends meet, so It was a complete waste to keep a house as big as the capital, so I sold it as soon as I gritted my teeth. This house is also in the east of the city, and it is a little closer to Du Yuniang's house, at least much closer than the previous three houses.

For Yuan Yuan, the new house is good, because she can often go to her grandmother's house.Moreover, her mother said that when she is seven years old, she will be given a separate courtyard and let her treat it as her own boudoir.

Although she is only five years old now, it will not take two years.

My younger brother, Ping An, is only two years old, so it is too early to have a separate yard.But the younger brother is chubby, and she wanted to pinch his face when she saw it. In the past, the younger brother didn't resist, but now she still bites her own hand. Once, Yuan Yuan was bitten by her younger brother. Now she knows how powerful her younger brother is. , and dare not pinch his younger brother's fat face casually.

Du Yu hasn't been pregnant in the past two years, so she thinks it's good, but frequent births are not good for her health.

Now the second sibling is also pregnant, and everyone has to take care of her.

The four-entry courtyard is good, there are many cross-yards, and Grandma Hu herself likes it. She doesn't want to live in the well-behaved main house, so she chooses a cross-yard, and she is quiet and quiet. Turned it over again, and planted vegetables.

Not to mention, everyone likes to eat the vegetables grown by Grandma Hu herself, and they think the taste is particularly good.Grandma Hu said that she was very old and lived in the main house, so she felt uncomfortable, seeing other people's homes, those old ladies, didn't they all live in a quiet courtyard, coaxing the juniors and enjoying themselves.

So now Uncle Hu and Ji are living in the main house.Two wing rooms are reserved as inner and outer study rooms, and the others are used as guest rooms or for entertaining guests.

This courtyard with four entrances is really nice, and there is a small garden at the end. In spring, the flowers inside bloom, and Du Yu also held a flower feast here. You can’t always go to other people’s homes. It's outrageous that the family doesn't do anything.

In the past, the house was small, so we just invited people to eat and drink. Now that we have this small garden, it becomes elegant all at once.

And when the weather is warmer, she will take the children to stroll in the garden, and the whole person will be in a good mood.

In the past few years, because Hu Xin has done a good job, he has been rewarded by the palace from time to time.Sometimes gold and silver are rewarded. Silver is official silver, so the quality is naturally good. Gold, of course, cannot be real gold rewards, but golden melon seeds, golden peanuts and the like.

There will also be rewards in the palace for grandma Hu's birthday.After all sorts of things, not all of them are unusable, and many of them are very valuable. Of course, things in the palace do not need to be returned, and what is given to you is yours, so the people in the palace spend the most money.

In the past two years, the original queen was somewhat dissatisfied with their family and Du's family, because Du Youzhong did not accept the queen's natal child, although it is not clear what happened, but his attitude is not good, that's for sure.

But ever since Hu Xin caught the second prince born to the queen who was about to fall from a tree, the queen's attitude changed, and she was very kind to the Hu family.

As for the age of the emperor's princes, the oldest one is only ten years old. The first prince is not born to the queen, and the second prince is a descendant, but he is also quite mischievous. A child of seven or eight years old got rid of the servants in the palace and learned to climb trees by himself. I climbed up and felt very proud, but was discovered by the emperor who came over. At that time, the emperor asked Hu Xin to follow and say some confidential words, but the second prince was found by his father on the tree. About to fall from the tree.

The emperor was also startled at that time, Hu Xin had already caught the child quickly, and finally his arm was broken.

Fortunately, it was Hu Xin who caught him, otherwise, if he fell from such a tall tree, the second prince would be disabled if he didn't die, and the queen is such a son, if he really was going to die, heartbreak would be unavoidable.

And if it is disabled, then it will lose the right to inherit the throne, and those who have not become emperor are still disabled.

Because of this matter, both the emperor and the empress have rewarded Hu Xin a lot, so naturally they would not say thank you, because the emperor is a saint, and no one can bear his thanks.

As a courtier, Hu Xin should stand up at that critical moment, but how many people can do it?
He was just stunned, and he didn't think of catching it, and he couldn't be blamed.So the queen sincerely thanked Hu Xin for saving her son and hope.

Although the second prince was a bit mischievous, he was very smart, and the emperor had high hopes for him, after all, he was his own son.If there is nothing else, he will be the prince in the future.

The emperor didn't seem like the kind of person who didn't want his son to be better than him, nor was he the kind of person who was afraid that his son would seize power.

He often said that only when one generation is stronger than the next can the legacy of the ancestors be passed on forever. Those who can say such things are not the kind of people with small intestines.

Because of this matter, the queen's dissatisfaction with the Du family was gone. After all, compared with her mother's family, her son was the most important.

After the incident, the queen asked the second prince to thank Hu Xin in person.

Although he is a prince, he must have the sincerity he should have.

Hu Xin didn't show off that he saved the second prince. At that time, if it was any child who happened to be at that place, he would pick him up. Otherwise, if a living person was thrown to death, he would I can't get over my hurdle.

The second prince is just a child who is not much older than his own child, and he is also a father, so his heart is softer towards the child.

After Du Yu, he took good care of his eldest cousin for several months, because he was injured for [-] days, which was a real broken arm and forehead. It was so painful at that time, thanks to his eldest cousin who endured it.

A seven or eight-year-old boy weighs several dozen catties, falling from a height, the momentum is really great.

But the second prince, because Hu Xin saved him this time, he wanted to make Hu Xin his husband.

But the emperor did not agree to this matter, Hu Xin is his confidant, there are many things to do, how can it be wasted like this?

However, while everyone was in the palace, he called the second prince over and asked Hu Xin to teach him alone.

Du Yu expressed a little worry. In the eyes of others, maybe his family has started to stand in line, but when saving people, he really doesn't know who it is.

This may be God's will.

The eldest cousin is getting more and more attention now, and the emperor has explained many confidential matters to Hu Xin.

Naturally, there are people in the court who are displeased or jealous.It's just that there is no way to do it. As long as you are valued, some people will dislike you, and some people will want to replace you.

Since Mr. Tian passed away, Mr. Wang took over Mr. Tian's position and became an errand similar to the dean of Jinxi Academy.

In the past few years, he has not gone to other places to be a master, and he has calmed down, especially Mrs. Wang's thoughts at the time, made Master Wang feel that he could not trouble the Du family anymore, otherwise, what would have happened?

Fortunately, he did well in Jinxi Academy, and Dean Chu paid more and more attention to him.

Since Mrs. Wang was given a harsh scolding by Master Wang last time, she has not had much contact with her sister, Mrs. Ma.

But this year, she received a letter from her sister, saying that her husband's health was not good because of his bad business, and he didn't know what happened now.

Mrs. Wang thought that she was going to marry a daughter-in-law now, and she really didn't have the energy to care about the girl who had been married for so many years.

Moreover, if he hadn't been the elder sister back then, it would have been hard to find her future marriage based on what her sister did.

So, that's it, Mrs. Wang feels that she has been right for her sister all her life.

Since then, Mrs. Wang has not heard from Mrs. Ma.Who knows that something big or small happened to Mrs. Ma.

But this is too irrelevant, Mrs. Wang doesn't know.

Du Yu knew that his cousin was very busy these days, and sometimes he couldn't do it for several days, because the emperor gave him a task. Like Kang Yuanxing, he conducted a detailed and thorough investigation of the household department. Of course, this was done in private. Yes, and it has been concealed from the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

Du Yu didn't know much about this, so he only knew that Hu Xin was very busy.

It's just that one day the eldest cousin went out and didn't come back, and then a few servants came to the palace and directly invited Du Yu and Uncle Ji's Hu to come over.

As for inviting Grandma Hu, Du Yu confessed his love and gave the servant a little money, expressing that Grandma Hu was getting old and not feeling well.

The waiter collected the money, but didn't let Grandma Hu go there again. Du Yu felt that the atmosphere was unusual, even Ji's. He even held Du Yu's hand, feeling a little nervous.

Du Yu explained the family's children and affairs to the second younger sibling to watch at home, and then thought, whether it is a blessing or a curse, and the disaster cannot be avoided.

Du Yu felt something was wrong after his eldest cousin went out and didn't come back, especially when the waiter he didn't know came.

The queen mother and the queen in the palace are supposed to be very good to them. Could it be that something happened to the eldest cousin?

Moreover, these servants did not lead them to the palace, but went directly to Dali Temple.

Because Hu Xin has an official position, the three of them got seats when they were in Dali Temple.

Du Yu saw that his eldest cousin was also sitting in the hall, but what made Du Yu's eyes widen was that Mrs. Ma was actually kneeling in the hall, and there were also two men and women in their twenties kneeling beside her. .

Du Yu told himself, don't panic, in fact, there is nothing at all.

When Ji Shi and Uncle Hu saw Ma Shi's face, their hearts thumped, but after all these years in the capital, they had seen many big scenes, so although their hearts thumped, their faces were still calm. The three of them They were all sitting, and Mrs. Ma was kneeling.

When Mrs. Ma saw that Mrs. Ji was still wearing the official clothes, she became jealous, and then she cried and complained about her unfair treatment. On the contrary, she accepted a woman from the outside world as her mother, and took all the benefits.

Mrs. Ma came to Dali Temple to sue Hu Xin directly, saying that Hu Xin was disobedient and unfilial, and refused to recognize his biological mother. If you commit the crime of disobedience and unfilial piety, your whole life will be over.

Who is it that wants to bring down his big cousin?Came up with such a sinister trick?

It is absolutely impossible for Mrs. Ma to take the initiative, because she has no idea that the eldest cousin is her own son, and it is impossible for Mr. Wang to tell her. As for Mrs. Wang, Du Yu can't guarantee it. Did the wife tell Mrs. Ma?

It's just that if it's really his own mother, how could he ruin his own son's future like this?If there is no trick here, Du Yu would not believe it at all, there must be someone playing tricks behind his back, trying to get the big cousin down.

Thinking about the busyness of the big cousin these days, did he really violate the interests of some people, so he found Mrs. Ma?
Du Yu told himself to be calm, because he was afraid that his uncle and aunt would not be able to bear it and would be intimidated to come out.

The people in Dali Temple must have the confidantes of the people who are behind the scenes, otherwise such things, before there is no evidence, they will be detained first, after all, it is the face of an official.

But looking at this posture, as soon as Mrs. Ma came to Dali Temple to complain, she immediately invited Hu Xin in, and then called them in as well. It was the servants who invited them over. Could it be that this was from the palace? Are people related?
The emperor doesn't care?Maybe the emperor doesn't know?
Don't think about all this, let's get this matter over first.

As soon as Ji heard Mrs. Ma say that a biological mother is not a biological mother, she immediately scolded: "Who are you? When did my son have a biological mother like you? My biological mother gave birth to him in ten months of pregnancy, you are talking nonsense , Be careful and I will sue you!"

Mrs. Ma sneered and said: "You say I'm talking nonsense, then look at my face, then look at his face, and you will know who is the biological mother!"

Mrs. Ma pointed to Hu Xin and said to everyone, "Everyone will know who gave birth to him when they saw it. I know that I gave birth to you back then and didn't take care of you. Sorry, your own father has passed away, and I am a woman, what should I do? You blame me, and I will not say anything, but I gave birth to you, without me, where did you come from.

How could you do this? You knew that I was your biological mother, but you didn't even say you would find me and give me an order, or that I didn't want an order. You just told me that you were doing well. How could you be so silent? ? "

It was said that she shed tears, and the son and daughter-in-law next to her also cried together.
