Chapter 192 Extra Story 3 Du Changqing and Feng Lianzhu
Chapter 192
Du Changqing grew up with Du Lei and Lu Xiaowan in the military camp. Although Du Lei is already a general in charge of several battalions and has his own house in the capital, Lu Xiaowan insists on the principle of where her husband is and she is, and would rather build a house near the military camp. I live in a simple and humble family, and accompany Du Lei to endure hardships, and I don't want to go back to the capital to enjoy happiness alone.
After Du Changqing grew up, Lu Xiaowan, under Ning's suggestion, attached great importance to Du Changqing's enlightenment. From the age of four, he let him learn to read and write under the guidance of a military teacher.
She herself has never been to school, so in order to lead by example and set a good example for Du Changqing, no matter how busy she is every day, she will take time out to accompany him to memorize and practice calligraphy for an hour.
Lu Xiaowan's industrious, hard-working and motivated spirit had a very profound influence on the young Du Changqing. He worked hard in both literature and martial arts. At a young age, he read and practiced calligraphy every day, and stood on horseback. Playing with swords and guns, never shouting tired.
The military master saw that although the members of the Du family were thin, each generation was stronger than the next generation, he was quite touched and taught them more attentively.
And Du Changqing lived up to his painstaking efforts, and quickly applied what he had learned, showing his extraordinary military talent. He went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen, and was promoted to battalion commander at the age of 17, and his father, Du Lei, also became a senior soldier. General.
When Du Changqing was sixteen, in the eyes of outsiders, he was quite smooth, but he had a very distressing thing: because his face was too handsome.
He inherited all the advantages of his father Du Lei and his mother Lu Xiaowan, with a tall nose, slender eyes, a delicate and perfect face shape, and a tall and straight figure. When he was young, it was difficult to distinguish between male and female.
When she grows up, she has practiced kung fu all the year round and worked hard in the army. She doesn't have a bit of a girlish look, her features are handsome, and her temperament is bold and uninhibited. If any young lady sees her, she will scream and pass out on the spot.
It's just that there are no women in the military camp except for the red tents. Du Changqing doesn't know his appearance, how much lethality it has to the little lady, he only knows that he is in the army, and compared with those five big and three thick men, he is completely at a disadvantage, and Always be the object of those people's teasing.
When he appeared in front of his subordinates for the first time when he was promoted to commander-in-chief, none of the soldiers in the battalion convinced him except those who had fought side by side with him. After being beaten to the ground, these people put away their contempt.
But with Du Changqing's skin like that, the brothers in the camp often ignored his fists and his mind, and couldn't feel awe. This is a fatal weakness for a general.
Du Changqing's temperament inherited a bit of Lu Xiaowan's aggressiveness. Whenever someone questioned his ability because of his appearance, if he happened to be in a bad mood, he would strike at him if he disagreed with him, and he was punished a lot for this. And offset it with military merit, which made him quite depressed.
Du Changqing also inherited the thick beard of the Du family. At the beginning, Lu Xiaowan always reminded him to tidy up his beard every day. Later, when he entered the military camp and fought, he didn't even care about eating. How could he have time to tidy himself up?Often within a few days, the beard can cover most of the face, as if a completely changed person.
Later, Du Changqing simply let it grow and ignored it. With his height and evil spirit, he successfully bluffed many new recruits. Du Changqing was very proud of this, and his big beard became his symbol.
In the winter of the year when he was 16, Du Lei took his family of three back to Beijing to report on his duties. In fact, although Du Lei was a general, there was no hard and fast rule on whether he would return to Beijing to report on his duties.
The reason why Du Lei returned to the capital was that Father Du and Ning Shi were in the capital, and secondly, because his son was old enough to be close.
Lu Xiaowan didn't want her son to find a daughter-in-law whose natal family was too far away, like her, who didn't have time to go back to see relatives for several years.
She is better, her parents are gone, there are only some relatives, but even so, she still misses her family so much, not to mention if Du Changqing's future daughter-in-law and parents are all alive, I am afraid that she will miss her somehow.
For this reason, Lu Xiaowan asked the Ning family to look for some young ladies with similar family backgrounds in Beijing, preferably after military generals, such as the descendants of Father Du's same robe. When you return to Beijing, you can also meet your family by the way.
After returning to Beijing, both Ning Shi and Lu Xiaowan talked about Du Changqing's beard several times.Du Changqing realized the benefits that a beard brought him in the military camp, so he refused to give in easily.
The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't take it seriously when they saw him, thinking that the child was grown up and had his own ideas, so he let him do it.
So Du Changqing led a group of brothers who came back from the camp with him, with big bearded faces, jumping up and down in Beijing every day.
Somehow one day, around the end of the Lantern Festival, I rushed to a temple on the mountain.The reason seems to be that Qin Rimian heard that the young ladies of the big families in the middle of the capital, all of them have beautiful faces, a thousand times more beautiful than the fairies in the sky, so he wanted to take a look.
Afterwards, a few people counted it together, and they didn't hear it from anywhere. On the eighteenth day, many young ladies went back to the temple on the mountain west of the city to worship Bodhisattva, and a few people rushed past.
In fact, Du Changqing simply accompanied a few people to join in the fun.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Li Kingdom always liked to have officials of all sizes in the capital and their families spend the Lantern Festival together in the palace on the day of the Lantern Festival.
Du Changqing went there several times along with his grandfather and father. When he was younger, because of Du Lei's slapping of a noble lady, Ning Shi and Lu Xiaowan basically had no contact with the nobles in Beijing, so he has been detained all the time. by their side.
Now that they are older, it is not easy for the two of them to let him stay with the women, so they let him walk around and told him not to cause trouble.
Du Changqing basically didn't know anyone in Beijing, coupled with his big beard and intentionally unrestrained aura, those little ladies and boys of the same age would avoid him when they saw him.
Du Changqing didn't feel ashamed, on the contrary, he was deeply proud. Those young boys with delicate skin and tender flesh really couldn't catch his eyes.
As for the little ladies, Du Changqing was actually a bit curious, but when he saw him, his face immediately turned pale with fright, and he covered his face with a fan in his hand, so he couldn't see their faces clearly, which made him very bored, so he simply stayed alone. After drinking in the corner all night, he followed the elders back to the house in the morning.
Because of this, Du Changqing didn't have a good impression of those so-called rich ladies, but since the brothers wanted to watch it, he just wanted to watch it with them.
This time, because it was a nobleman and a female family member who came, the abbot of the temple asked people to guard the gates of several courtyards where the nobleman stayed, in case outsiders bumped into the nobleman.
Du Changqing, Qin Rimian and the others came to the mountain to see the rich ladies, not to fight with others. When the gatekeeper asked them to leave politely, they really left obediently in front of their faces.
However, after turning a corner and out of sight of the gatekeeper, several people got together to discuss countermeasures, and finally decided to split up. Du Changqing took the initiative to act as a bait to lure the gatekeeper away, and the others sneaked in while the gatekeeper was distracted. .
The original plan was good, but the gatekeeper was very experienced, and when he saw seven or eight people coming, only one person turned around and reappeared, he knew that the other party wanted to use a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so he waved at Du Changqing and led Proud to see through the opponent's tricks: "Young man, let's go!"
Du Changqing tried his best to provoke the other party, but the gatekeeper was unmoved, and later he got annoyed by him, and pretended to fight him desperately.
Du Changqing thought that the other party had been duped, so he was overjoyed, he chose a direction at random and ran away. The gatekeeper yelled loudly behind him deliberately, making Du Changqing think that he was really going to catch up, and ran faster and faster. Turning around and looking back, there is not even a ghost behind him, only to realize that I am a majestic battalion commander, a future general, who was tricked by a gatekeeper!
Du Changqing failed to fulfill his brother's entrustment, and he was very angry. The unrestrained aura coupled with anger, coupled with a full face of beards and a tall and straight figure, made the whole look even more fierce.
He gritted his teeth and cursed twice, looked up and looked around, and was attracted by a cluster of peach blossoms protruding from the corner of the wall, and unconsciously raised his feet and walked over.
It is true that there were wealthy families coming to the temple today, but not many, there were only two households, Mrs. Feng, the eldest daughter-in-law of Master Feng’s family, with her sister-in-law, Feng Lianzhu, and Mrs. Cao, the eldest daughter-in-law of Master Cao’s family. three people.
Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Cao, that is, the unborn mother of Cao Yunqing, were originally close friends in the boudoir. After they got married, it happened that the relationship between the two husbands and their families was good, but the relationship between the two became closer like sisters.
The parents-in-law are easy to serve, the husband-in-law is considerate, and the uncle and sister-in-law are easy to get along with. In the eyes of outsiders, these two people are like burning incense in the past life, and they are married to such a good family in this life. They are the envy of all the ladies in Beijing. object.
But these two people also have regrets, that is, they both gave birth to two sons after they got married, and now the youngest is three years old, but the two who wanted a daughter wholeheartedly have not moved.
So they met up to the mountain to worship the Bodhisattva, and begged the Bodhisattva to give them a daughter who is as smart, well-behaved and sensible as Feng Lianzhu.
Feng Lianzhu is the youngest daughter of Master Feng Dashi, with a gentle and demure temperament, proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a good appearance. There are only two older brothers on top, who have been loved and grown up since childhood, but without a trace of arrogance. Not long after Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Feng married in, both of them really fell in love with this beloved sister-in-law.
Therefore, when Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Cao came to the mountain to petition, they brought their sister-in-law Feng Lianzhu with them.
When the two prayed to the Bodhisattva, it was inconvenient for Feng Lianzhu's little lady who had not left the pavilion to stay by, so he asked her to go back to the Zen room to rest.
Feng Lianzhu, who had just turned sixteen, brought his maid, Xiaomi, to wait in the meditation room, which was very boring.
Xiaomi remembered hearing people say that there is a peach blossom in this temple that blooms earlier than other places, and it was already in full bloom before the Lantern Festival, so she said to Feng Lianzhu: "Miss, I heard that there is a peach blossom in this temple. This servant will take you to see it." How are you looking?"
Feng Lianzhu was a little hesitant, she was not young, and since last year, the family had started to help her find a marriage, if she met some foreigner when she went out and ruined her reputation, it might have an impact on her marriage.
"Miss, I heard from those young monks that these places have been guarded by people, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, and that peach blossom is very close to here, just next door." Xiaomi wanted to see for himself, and saw that his lady's face was a little loose, and continued Encouragement: "Miss, let's go and pick a peach blossom secretly, shall we take it back?"
Feng Lianzhu is a typical lady, she abides by etiquette in every word and deed, and rarely violates the rules, but not breaking the rules does not mean that she has no intention of breaking the rules.
Occasional rebellion is the biggest dream in every young girl's heart. At this moment, there is a great opportunity in front of her eyes. How can the young Feng Lianzhu resist this kind of temptation?
Outsiders don't know, but as her personal servant girl Xiaomi, she is very clear about her young lady's thoughts.
She stared at her young lady beggingly, as expected, Feng Lianzhu was moved and nodded.
The peach blossoms were indeed very close to the meditation room they were in. When they walked out the door and turned a corner, they saw a peach tree growing in the corner.
Recipe, Shining.
The pink color of the trees dazzled the eyes of the two, and when the wind blew, the peach blossoms fell down one after another, which was too beautiful to behold.
After coming out, Xiaomi realized that the temperature seemed to be a little lower than in the morning. When he just came out, he was overjoyed for a while, and forgot to put on the cloak for the lady.
If it was cold, all the masters and masters in the mansion would not spare her.
"Miss, wait a moment, this servant will help you get the cloak!"
Feng Lianzhu nodded, and after Xiaomi left, he excitedly ran towards the peach tree, raised his head, and saw a big hairy head popping out from the gap between the peach branches on the wall.
The four eyes met, and those eyes glowed like a beast in the dark.
With a cry, Feng Lianzhu took two steps back in fright and fell to the ground.
There was a sharp pain in his hand, and tears filled his eyes uncontrollably.
That fluffy head jumped into the wall courtyard and walked up to Feng Lianzhu.
She was wearing a pink dress with a circle of white fox fur on the neckline, which made her small face more delicate.
Xu Shi was frightened, his face was a little pale, his two beautiful eyebrows were slightly tangled, showing a little pain.
A pair of black and bright eyes, soaked in the tears, are crystal clear like black gemstones after being washed.
Du Changqing had never seen such a delicate and delicate lady so closely.
His heart throbbed suddenly, and he couldn't help but took two steps closer, wanting to see more clearly.
"Don't come here!" Feng Lianzhu was terrified and couldn't help screaming.
The previous resentment on Du Changqing's body has not yet dissipated, and he looks full of hostility.
It's just that to Feng Lianzhu, it was an unseemly high-pitched voice, but to Du Changqing, that soft, waxy and delicate voice was like a feather, tickling his heart.
He couldn't help but want to tease her to say more, "I won't eat you again, what are you afraid of?"
Although he said so in his mouth, Feng Lianzhu's eyes looked like he wanted to eat her.
Feng Lianzhu bit her lip, and only stared at him with a pair of watery eyes, hoping to use this kind of resistance and dissatisfaction in her eyes to make this apprentice leave quickly.
Du Changqing walked closer, "What's your name?"
Seeing that she was silent, she continued, "Why are you here alone? Where is your home?"
Feng Lianzhu still ignored him, Du Changqing saw that she was sitting on the ground, probably injured, and walked closer, "You are injured, how about I help you up?"
It is already very embarrassing to be seen by a foreigner, and now this foreigner has to support her, have physical contact with her, and spread the word, what about her reputation?
Thinking of this, Feng Lianzhu was so frightened that she couldn't help crying, "Go away! Go away!"
The little man on the ground was all pink and white, like a peach blossom, but at this moment he was crying like pear blossoms with rain, tears streaming down his face, his little nose was twitching, he was so pitiful.
Du Changqing suddenly felt distressed, and was about to reach out to comfort her, when another scream came from next to his ear: "Ah! Bad guy! What did you do to my lady?"
He looked up, and the furry face startled Xiaomi, but as a loyal servant, Xiaomi was only stunned for a moment, and immediately ran to Feng Lianzhu to block her, "Don't bully my young lady!"
This misunderstanding is huge!How could he bully her?
Du Changqing looked at Feng Lianzhu, wanting her to explain.
When Feng Lianzhu saw her maid, she felt relieved, and hid her whole face behind her, sobbing, only showing half of her hair to Du Changqing.
Du Changqing was tall and looked fierce. Xiaomi was actually very scared, but for the sake of his own lady, he had to pretend to be righteous and bluffed: "Dengtuzi! Go away, or I will call someone to arrest you Meet the officer!"
Du Changqing thought that he hadn't done anything, how could he be afraid of meeting officials?It's just that there are a group of brothers who came with him, if they are too tired to be arrested, it will be embarrassing.
He really wanted to spend more time with this little lady and listen to her more, but the little lady was crying so hard, she must have hurt from a fall, so she had to go back and find a doctor to check her injuries!
She didn't tell him which prefecture she was from, and he would just find a way to find out by himself.
Thinking of this, Du Changqing looked at the top of the head several times reluctantly, turned around and jumped over the wall to leave.
Xiaomi watched the terrifying man jump over the wall without looking back, finally let out a breath, and found her chest was thumping so violently.
She turned around and said softly to Feng Lianzhu who was still crying: "Miss, the villain is gone, this servant will help you up!"
Feng Lianzhu just fell, although it was a little painful, but he was not hurt because he wore a lot of clothes in winter, and he didn't stand up all the time, because his legs were weak from the fright of Du Changqing's appearance.
Now that Xiaomi said that the villain had left, he stood up tremblingly with Xiaomi's support.
Because of this fright, after returning to the mansion, Feng Lianzhu had nightmares for two nights in a row. In the dream, the wicked man with a beard suddenly turned into a wild beast with a bloody mouth, chasing her all the time, trying to kill her. Swallow it down.
In the winter, Feng Lianzhu was half asleep and half awake, his clothes were soaked through.
When I woke up in the morning, I found my head was heavy and my body was weak, and I reached out to touch my forehead, and then I realized that I was sick.
Feng Lianzhu was ill for a few days, while Du Changqing was out of his mind for a few days.
His mother Lu Xiaowan didn't notice his abnormality, but his brother Qin Rimian did.
"Boss, what's the matter with you these days? Like a little girl who is thinking about spring, sometimes giggling, sometimes dazed, listless!"
Sichun?Du Changqing's heart moved, "What is Sichun?"
Qin Rimian laughed meanly, "If a lady misses a man, or if a man misses a lady, it's called Sichun!"
Not to mention, he really thought about it every day, could it be that he was really yearning for that delicate little lady he saw in the temple that day?
"What should I do if I feel spring?" Du Changqing asked shamelessly.
"I'm thinking of spring, why don't you go to the brothel and find a random woman to vent your anger, or find a way to marry that little lady home, you can vent your anger any way you want!" Qin Rimian laughed quite lewdly.
Du Changqing was full of admiration: "How do you understand all this?"
"Of course! I don't even look at who I am, brother!" Qin Rimian patted his chest.
who is he?It's just a little bachelor who has never touched a woman!Because in the military camp, you can listen to what others say, and you can say a few words casually!
Compared with Du Changqing, a good-natured young man like Du Lei and Lu Xiaowan, he just listened to more nasty talk!
So this is ah!Du Changqing didn't know about it, and took what he said deeply.
"Boss, which lady do you like?" Qin Rimian guessed casually when he saw his appearance.
Unexpectedly, he guessed it right!
Du Changqing didn't hide it from him, and told Qin Rimian about meeting Feng Lianzhu that day.
Originally, Qin Rimian, who wanted to see the little lady of the rich family the most, did not see him, but Du Changqing, who took the initiative to help them divert the gatekeeper away, saw him.
Qin Rimian was a little bit regretful, but in order for his brother to get what he wanted, Qin Rimian volunteered to take on the important task of finding out Feng Lianzhu's whereabouts.
That night, Qin Rimian went to the mountain in the dark, knocked out a young monk, and took him to a remote place. Under coercion and temptation, he learned that on the eighteenth day, only Feng Cao's second residence came here. two ladies and a lady.
Qin Rimian asked again which family the young lady belonged to, but the young monk refused to say anything: the Buddha knew about this matter of ruining the reputation of the family, and he would punish her.
Qin Rimian thought that the range had been reduced to such a small size, so he didn't make things difficult for him, so he knocked out the little monk again and sent him back to the temple.
The Feng and Cao families are quite well-known in Beijing, and after a little inquiring, they knew that the little lady Du Changqing bumped into that day was none other than Feng Lianzhu, the young lady of the Feng family.
However, I heard that Feng's family is talking about marriage for Feng Lianzhu, and they have already met several families, and maybe they will be settled someday.
When Du Changqing heard this, he became anxious and ran to Du's mansion.
But he didn't ask his mother Lu Xiaowan to find someone to help him marry him, instead he went to his father Du Lei, "Father, how did you marry my mother back then?"
Du Lei usually has a very serious expression on his face, but when Lu Xiaowan is mentioned, his expression is much gentler.
Speaking of this, it was the pride of his life!Although he wondered why his son would be curious about this matter, he still answered him, "I have brought the betrothal gift and come directly to the door."
"It's so simple?" Du Changqing couldn't believe it, "My son heard people say, don't you have to discuss marriage first?"
"Cough cough," Du Lei coughed twice, unwilling to admit in front of his own son that he was teased by his brothers and forgot about etiquette, and said vaguely, "At that time your grandfather and grandmother had already passed away!"
I see!Du Changqing felt suddenly enlightened!Father directly married A Niang because A Niang's parents passed away.
If he wants to marry Feng Lianzhu now, he must get her parents' consent first!
In order to show caution, Du Changqing brought a group of brothers to Feng's mansion and asked to see Master Feng.
Master Feng is a literati and has little contact with military officials, but he has heard of Du Le's name as a "Three Masters".
Although he was very curious that someone from Du's residence wanted to see him, even if it wasn't Du's father, it should be Du Lei. Why did Du Changqing, who had just grown up, come?
After hesitating for a while, with the idea of supporting the younger generation, I still interviewed him.
It's a good thing they didn't see him. After seeing him, Master Feng immediately asked someone to take a broom and drove Du Changqing out.
Master Feng is the most courteous literati, how can anyone come to propose marriage for himself?
Don't say that his family is not worthy of his family, even if he is, with Du Changqing's looks and such a rough man, it is impossible for him to marry his spoiled and raised daughter to him!
In Master Feng's mind, the one who is worthy of his own daughter is a man who is handsome, handsome and handsome. Du Changqing, a vulgar man who came from the army, is not even worthy of carrying his daughter's shoes!
Du Changqing came out in frustration. Qin Rimian and others who were guarding outside knew that he was rejected by seeing his expression.
He was very annoyed in his heart, but he pretended nothing happened and said to Du Changqing, "Boss, what did Miss Feng say?"
"Master Yuezhang said that no one proposes a marriage for him!" Du Changqing said: "I plan to go back and find my mother to come forward!"
"Boss, then hurry up!" Qin Rimian said, "Here, brother, help you watch! Make sure no other matchmakers are allowed in!"
Du Changqing was already worried about what to do if someone else got on the board first. Hearing what Qin Rimian said, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Brother, help me watch it! I'll go back quickly!"
Qin Rimian patted his chest, "Okay! Put it on my brother!"
Dare to look down on my boss?Qin Rimian gritted his teeth, and thought viciously in his heart: I still have to let Miss Feng marry my boss!With Laozi here, let me see who dares to come to propose marriage!
Not to mention, not long after Du Changqing left, a matchmaker was entrusted to go to Feng's residence to arrange marriage for Feng Lianzhu.
When Qin Rimian saw the matchmaker, he immediately winked, and before the matchmaker approached Feng's residence, he dragged her two brothers into a dark alley.
The matchmaker had never seen such a battle before, her legs were so frightened that her legs went limp, "You guys, you are in broad daylight, at the feet of the emperor, do you want to know the law and break the law?"
"What law do you know, what law do you break?" Qin Rimian smiled grimly, "I just asked you to say a few words, ma'am, did you hit you or rob you?"
Just talking, do you need to look fierce?However, it's not just beating or robbing!
The matchmaker settled down, "Several strong men, what can I do with my old man?"
"It's nothing, I just want to tell my aunt that Miss Feng of the Feng family is attracted by my boss, Du Changqing, and no one can marry except my boss!"
Qin Rimian drew out his dagger, and the cold light shone out, colder than the cold wind in early spring. He lowered his head, slowly gestured the dagger left and right from his thumb, and said casually: "Anyone who dares to steal a wife from my boss has to ask me." This dagger in your hand!"
The matchmaker trembled, and the man seemed to say it casually, but the words were full of threats.
She is just a matchmaker in the capital city who makes a living by talking about marriage, she talks a lot, but this group of bastards always only move but don't talk, how can she be their opponent?
The matchmaker flinched, "I understand!"
"Also," Qin Rimian smiled, "tell all the matchmakers that no one else is allowed to accept Miss Feng's marriage except for my boss, Du Changqing!"
"Yes, the old man will leave first!"
After the matchmaker finished speaking, she quickly left the alley, stopped after walking for a long time, and said "Pooh" in Qin Rimian's direction, "A group of bandits, I really think I'm afraid of you? I don't want to be as knowledgeable as you!"
A soldier of the rank of commander Qin Rimian can't even compare with the gatekeepers of wealthy families in the capital.
But the more delicate and expensive a person is, the more he cherishes his life. He is not afraid of others being reasonable, but the most fearful is unreasonable people.
It's like Qin Rimian, who is not afraid of wearing shoes if he is barefoot, and nothing else, what a shame!
Porcelain to touch corrugated?How silly!
Although the matchmaker was angry in her heart, she was helpless!There's no point in risking your own life for those people!
After cursing secretly, she stomped her feet and went to the house that invited her.
When Du Changqing returned to the Du mansion, he immediately went to find Lu Xiaowan, "Mother, my son wants to marry Miss Feng from Dashi Feng's family, please help him to come and marry him!"
"What?" Lu Xiaowan and Du Lei exclaimed at the same time.
Lu Xiaowan wondered: "Changqing, how do you know that there is a Miss Feng in Dashi Feng's family? Have you met?"
Du Lei said impatiently: "Go and ask yourself! Don't bother your mother!"
Father, am I your own?Du Changqing curled his lips secretly, "My son went to beg, Master Feng said his son was rude, so he came back and begged my mother to come forward!"
"That's even more impossible!" Before Lu Xiaowan could say anything, Du Lei had flatly refused, "Since they have already rejected you, there is no reason for your mother to come and humiliate them!"
Most men in the army are straight-tempered, and Du Lei is no exception, but being straight-tempered doesn't mean he is stupid.
Those literati have always looked down on soldiers from the bottom of their hearts. When there is no conflict of interest, they can maintain a basic harmony when they meet face to face.
But when it comes to getting married, Du Lei knows very well in his heart that it is absolutely impossible for those literati to find a family of generals with no background like theirs.
Therefore, he and Lu Xiaowan, as well as Du Daddy and Ning Shi, have always only considered Du Changqing's marriage to a family of military generals of the same level.
Only in the eyes of generals, Du Changqing, who is good at literature and martial arts, is a piece of fragrant bun that everyone is rare.
In the eyes of literati, the current Du Changqing, just a battalion commander, even if he can become a general or a general in the future, he will still be nothing more than a rough man.
Because of this, Du Lei would never let Lu Xiaowan come and humiliate others.
Because Lu Xiaowan had conflicts with those noble ladies when she was young, she didn't like those people, even the families behind them.
It's just that this time it's about the marriage of his son Du Changqing. His son suddenly has a daughter-in-law he wants to marry. As a mother, I don't want to lose face, so I should help him fight for it anyway.
But Du Lei vetoed it outright, so Lu Xiaowan had no choice but to suppress this thought.
Du Lei said to Du Changqing with a very serious expression: "Father has no objection to whoever you want to marry! However, father and mother are only responsible for helping you prepare for marriage, and you can handle the rest by yourself!"
Du Changqing had no choice but to go back to the front of Feng's house.
Qin Rimian in front of the Feng Mansion proudly asked him for credit: "Boss, brother, I have already spread the word with the matchmaker in Beijing. This Miss Feng Mansion is not allowed to marry anyone except you, the boss!"
This is a good idea!In this way, Mr. Yue Zhang has to agree if he disagrees.
Du Changqing laughed loudly, and patted Qin Rimian on the shoulder, "Brother, thank you very much! On the day I and Miss Feng get married, I must respect you with three bowls!"
Outside the door, Du Changqing and Qin Rimian were very proud of their plan, while Feng Dashi and Feng's elder brother Feng Erge in Feng's residence were so angry that they wanted to rush out and fight with them!
Mrs. Feng immediately stopped a few people, "Those people outside are rough people, their arms are thicker than your third master's calves, what do you have to fight with them?"
Senior scholar Feng said angrily: "Unexpectedly, there is such a scoundrel in Du's house! Every day Lai rushes in front of Feng's house, but he can't drive him away, and let the matchmaker say that Ah Zhu is not allowed to marry anyone except him!"
Big brother Feng said bitterly: "This kid is too deceitful! How can he ruin my family's reputation so much!"
Second Brother Feng was gearing up, "I still don't believe it, he still dares to beat me up? If he really hit me, it's a good time to go to the governor to file a complaint!"
Speaking of the governor of the capital, Master Feng became even more angry. He went to the yamen in person. The governor just started to receive him well, and sent dozens of people to chase them away.
As a result, when those officers and soldiers saw Du Changqing and Qin Rimian, they immediately froze and didn't even dare to move their hands, so they apologized and went back.
Later, Fu Yin sent someone to send a letter, saying: "These people are just busy and need to walk around in front of Feng's house from time to time. They have no intention of threatening to kidnap or hurt anyone in Feng's house. Therefore, the government can't control this matter. Please discuss it privately." as well.
In a fit of rage, Grand Master Feng approached Du Lei for a theory after he came down to court. Du Lei said, "Let the juniors settle their own affairs!" which made Master Feng almost vomit blood in anger.
Your son is a weed that can grow anywhere, and he doesn't care about his reputation at all, but his precious daughter, Azhu, is raised up with golden branches and jade leaves, and she will surely have a smooth life in the future. leave this stain?
But the old man made it clear that he didn't care, what could he do?Feng University's morale was so angry that he hadn't had a good night's sleep for more than ten days.
Outside the gate, Du Changqing, Qin Rimian and others sent several people to take turns walking around in front of the mansion every day.
The three fathers and sons of the Feng family met Du Changqing and the others in it, which is no different from a scholar meeting a soldier. It's hard to explain why!In addition to anger, there is nothing to do!
Mrs. Feng said worryingly: "Sir, before every now and then, there would always be a matchmaker, or a lady who would come up to check on A Zhu's words, but now those people stand in front of the door, and there has been no one for a long time. He came to the door. If this continues, the concubine is worried that A Zhu's marriage will be affected."
Brother Feng said loudly: "The influence is the influence, at worst, my son will raise Ah Zhu for the rest of his life!"
"Bah!" Master Feng knocked on him, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could your sister not get married?"
Then he turned to Mrs. Feng: "Choose a suitable family from the family who came to marry you earlier, and you will come to the door in person and reply that you are willing to discuss marriage."
Mrs. Feng agreed. She was actually satisfied with two of them before, but she just wanted to choose another one for her daughter, so she never agreed.
Feng Dashiman thought that this would be the end of the matter.
As a result, when she came back the next day, Mrs. Feng's eyes were red and swollen, and she told two good families before that when she heard her visit, one refused to see her because she was unwell.
The other family met, but when they heard about her coming, they immediately said that because they couldn't wait for the reply from the Feng family, her son had already started discussing marriage with the young lady of the other family, and the two parties had already agreed verbally.
When sending someone to inquire about the news earlier, she also said that her son is not too old, so there is no rush, and she can wait for Feng's reply slowly.
Now that there is a sudden marriage discussion, how can Mrs. Feng not understand?
The few suitable families are already unwilling to get married, and no other family dares to come to propose marriage. The daughter is already sixteen. If no suitable family is settled within this year, it will be even more difficult to choose a good one next year or two. family.
Old Madam Feng felt sad, and couldn't help but her eyes were red.
Do you really want to marry your daughter to that rude boy in the Du Mansion?
In desperation, Mrs. Feng could only think of some good things.
This thought really reminded her of many advantages of the Du Mansion.
For example, the population is simple, there are only Father Du and Ning Shi, Du Lei and Lu Xiaowan in the family.
Mrs. Feng naturally knew that Du Lei slapped the noble lady because of Lu Xiaowan, and she also knew that because of this incident, the Du Mansion gained a good reputation for caring for daughters-in-law.
Lu Xiaowan was born in the countryside, if A Zhu married, she would definitely be able to find no faults.
Ning was originally a remarried widow, but I heard that she has a hot temper and is very sincere towards Du Lei and Lu Xiaowan.
A person who can't even be harsh on his daughter-in-law will naturally not be harsh on his grand-daughter-in-law!
After thinking about it, Mrs. Feng felt that apart from the fact that Du's family was poor and Du Changqing was rude, from a woman's point of view, it was really a good marriage!
The population is small, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along well, and the probability of being monopolized by the husband is very high.Is there anything happier than this for a woman?
Old Mrs. Feng is not a woman with shallow eyesight. She was born in a famous family and married into a wealthy family. She knows all about the dirty things hidden in the backyards of various mansions!
Even in such a noble Feng residence, there are some unspeakable things.
As Feng Lianzhu was her only and most beloved daughter, Mrs. Feng naturally hoped that she would be pampered by another person in the future.
(End of this chapter)
Du Changqing grew up with Du Lei and Lu Xiaowan in the military camp. Although Du Lei is already a general in charge of several battalions and has his own house in the capital, Lu Xiaowan insists on the principle of where her husband is and she is, and would rather build a house near the military camp. I live in a simple and humble family, and accompany Du Lei to endure hardships, and I don't want to go back to the capital to enjoy happiness alone.
After Du Changqing grew up, Lu Xiaowan, under Ning's suggestion, attached great importance to Du Changqing's enlightenment. From the age of four, he let him learn to read and write under the guidance of a military teacher.
She herself has never been to school, so in order to lead by example and set a good example for Du Changqing, no matter how busy she is every day, she will take time out to accompany him to memorize and practice calligraphy for an hour.
Lu Xiaowan's industrious, hard-working and motivated spirit had a very profound influence on the young Du Changqing. He worked hard in both literature and martial arts. At a young age, he read and practiced calligraphy every day, and stood on horseback. Playing with swords and guns, never shouting tired.
The military master saw that although the members of the Du family were thin, each generation was stronger than the next generation, he was quite touched and taught them more attentively.
And Du Changqing lived up to his painstaking efforts, and quickly applied what he had learned, showing his extraordinary military talent. He went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen, and was promoted to battalion commander at the age of 17, and his father, Du Lei, also became a senior soldier. General.
When Du Changqing was sixteen, in the eyes of outsiders, he was quite smooth, but he had a very distressing thing: because his face was too handsome.
He inherited all the advantages of his father Du Lei and his mother Lu Xiaowan, with a tall nose, slender eyes, a delicate and perfect face shape, and a tall and straight figure. When he was young, it was difficult to distinguish between male and female.
When she grows up, she has practiced kung fu all the year round and worked hard in the army. She doesn't have a bit of a girlish look, her features are handsome, and her temperament is bold and uninhibited. If any young lady sees her, she will scream and pass out on the spot.
It's just that there are no women in the military camp except for the red tents. Du Changqing doesn't know his appearance, how much lethality it has to the little lady, he only knows that he is in the army, and compared with those five big and three thick men, he is completely at a disadvantage, and Always be the object of those people's teasing.
When he appeared in front of his subordinates for the first time when he was promoted to commander-in-chief, none of the soldiers in the battalion convinced him except those who had fought side by side with him. After being beaten to the ground, these people put away their contempt.
But with Du Changqing's skin like that, the brothers in the camp often ignored his fists and his mind, and couldn't feel awe. This is a fatal weakness for a general.
Du Changqing's temperament inherited a bit of Lu Xiaowan's aggressiveness. Whenever someone questioned his ability because of his appearance, if he happened to be in a bad mood, he would strike at him if he disagreed with him, and he was punished a lot for this. And offset it with military merit, which made him quite depressed.
Du Changqing also inherited the thick beard of the Du family. At the beginning, Lu Xiaowan always reminded him to tidy up his beard every day. Later, when he entered the military camp and fought, he didn't even care about eating. How could he have time to tidy himself up?Often within a few days, the beard can cover most of the face, as if a completely changed person.
Later, Du Changqing simply let it grow and ignored it. With his height and evil spirit, he successfully bluffed many new recruits. Du Changqing was very proud of this, and his big beard became his symbol.
In the winter of the year when he was 16, Du Lei took his family of three back to Beijing to report on his duties. In fact, although Du Lei was a general, there was no hard and fast rule on whether he would return to Beijing to report on his duties.
The reason why Du Lei returned to the capital was that Father Du and Ning Shi were in the capital, and secondly, because his son was old enough to be close.
Lu Xiaowan didn't want her son to find a daughter-in-law whose natal family was too far away, like her, who didn't have time to go back to see relatives for several years.
She is better, her parents are gone, there are only some relatives, but even so, she still misses her family so much, not to mention if Du Changqing's future daughter-in-law and parents are all alive, I am afraid that she will miss her somehow.
For this reason, Lu Xiaowan asked the Ning family to look for some young ladies with similar family backgrounds in Beijing, preferably after military generals, such as the descendants of Father Du's same robe. When you return to Beijing, you can also meet your family by the way.
After returning to Beijing, both Ning Shi and Lu Xiaowan talked about Du Changqing's beard several times.Du Changqing realized the benefits that a beard brought him in the military camp, so he refused to give in easily.
The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't take it seriously when they saw him, thinking that the child was grown up and had his own ideas, so he let him do it.
So Du Changqing led a group of brothers who came back from the camp with him, with big bearded faces, jumping up and down in Beijing every day.
Somehow one day, around the end of the Lantern Festival, I rushed to a temple on the mountain.The reason seems to be that Qin Rimian heard that the young ladies of the big families in the middle of the capital, all of them have beautiful faces, a thousand times more beautiful than the fairies in the sky, so he wanted to take a look.
Afterwards, a few people counted it together, and they didn't hear it from anywhere. On the eighteenth day, many young ladies went back to the temple on the mountain west of the city to worship Bodhisattva, and a few people rushed past.
In fact, Du Changqing simply accompanied a few people to join in the fun.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Li Kingdom always liked to have officials of all sizes in the capital and their families spend the Lantern Festival together in the palace on the day of the Lantern Festival.
Du Changqing went there several times along with his grandfather and father. When he was younger, because of Du Lei's slapping of a noble lady, Ning Shi and Lu Xiaowan basically had no contact with the nobles in Beijing, so he has been detained all the time. by their side.
Now that they are older, it is not easy for the two of them to let him stay with the women, so they let him walk around and told him not to cause trouble.
Du Changqing basically didn't know anyone in Beijing, coupled with his big beard and intentionally unrestrained aura, those little ladies and boys of the same age would avoid him when they saw him.
Du Changqing didn't feel ashamed, on the contrary, he was deeply proud. Those young boys with delicate skin and tender flesh really couldn't catch his eyes.
As for the little ladies, Du Changqing was actually a bit curious, but when he saw him, his face immediately turned pale with fright, and he covered his face with a fan in his hand, so he couldn't see their faces clearly, which made him very bored, so he simply stayed alone. After drinking in the corner all night, he followed the elders back to the house in the morning.
Because of this, Du Changqing didn't have a good impression of those so-called rich ladies, but since the brothers wanted to watch it, he just wanted to watch it with them.
This time, because it was a nobleman and a female family member who came, the abbot of the temple asked people to guard the gates of several courtyards where the nobleman stayed, in case outsiders bumped into the nobleman.
Du Changqing, Qin Rimian and the others came to the mountain to see the rich ladies, not to fight with others. When the gatekeeper asked them to leave politely, they really left obediently in front of their faces.
However, after turning a corner and out of sight of the gatekeeper, several people got together to discuss countermeasures, and finally decided to split up. Du Changqing took the initiative to act as a bait to lure the gatekeeper away, and the others sneaked in while the gatekeeper was distracted. .
The original plan was good, but the gatekeeper was very experienced, and when he saw seven or eight people coming, only one person turned around and reappeared, he knew that the other party wanted to use a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so he waved at Du Changqing and led Proud to see through the opponent's tricks: "Young man, let's go!"
Du Changqing tried his best to provoke the other party, but the gatekeeper was unmoved, and later he got annoyed by him, and pretended to fight him desperately.
Du Changqing thought that the other party had been duped, so he was overjoyed, he chose a direction at random and ran away. The gatekeeper yelled loudly behind him deliberately, making Du Changqing think that he was really going to catch up, and ran faster and faster. Turning around and looking back, there is not even a ghost behind him, only to realize that I am a majestic battalion commander, a future general, who was tricked by a gatekeeper!
Du Changqing failed to fulfill his brother's entrustment, and he was very angry. The unrestrained aura coupled with anger, coupled with a full face of beards and a tall and straight figure, made the whole look even more fierce.
He gritted his teeth and cursed twice, looked up and looked around, and was attracted by a cluster of peach blossoms protruding from the corner of the wall, and unconsciously raised his feet and walked over.
It is true that there were wealthy families coming to the temple today, but not many, there were only two households, Mrs. Feng, the eldest daughter-in-law of Master Feng’s family, with her sister-in-law, Feng Lianzhu, and Mrs. Cao, the eldest daughter-in-law of Master Cao’s family. three people.
Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Cao, that is, the unborn mother of Cao Yunqing, were originally close friends in the boudoir. After they got married, it happened that the relationship between the two husbands and their families was good, but the relationship between the two became closer like sisters.
The parents-in-law are easy to serve, the husband-in-law is considerate, and the uncle and sister-in-law are easy to get along with. In the eyes of outsiders, these two people are like burning incense in the past life, and they are married to such a good family in this life. They are the envy of all the ladies in Beijing. object.
But these two people also have regrets, that is, they both gave birth to two sons after they got married, and now the youngest is three years old, but the two who wanted a daughter wholeheartedly have not moved.
So they met up to the mountain to worship the Bodhisattva, and begged the Bodhisattva to give them a daughter who is as smart, well-behaved and sensible as Feng Lianzhu.
Feng Lianzhu is the youngest daughter of Master Feng Dashi, with a gentle and demure temperament, proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a good appearance. There are only two older brothers on top, who have been loved and grown up since childhood, but without a trace of arrogance. Not long after Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Feng married in, both of them really fell in love with this beloved sister-in-law.
Therefore, when Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Cao came to the mountain to petition, they brought their sister-in-law Feng Lianzhu with them.
When the two prayed to the Bodhisattva, it was inconvenient for Feng Lianzhu's little lady who had not left the pavilion to stay by, so he asked her to go back to the Zen room to rest.
Feng Lianzhu, who had just turned sixteen, brought his maid, Xiaomi, to wait in the meditation room, which was very boring.
Xiaomi remembered hearing people say that there is a peach blossom in this temple that blooms earlier than other places, and it was already in full bloom before the Lantern Festival, so she said to Feng Lianzhu: "Miss, I heard that there is a peach blossom in this temple. This servant will take you to see it." How are you looking?"
Feng Lianzhu was a little hesitant, she was not young, and since last year, the family had started to help her find a marriage, if she met some foreigner when she went out and ruined her reputation, it might have an impact on her marriage.
"Miss, I heard from those young monks that these places have been guarded by people, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, and that peach blossom is very close to here, just next door." Xiaomi wanted to see for himself, and saw that his lady's face was a little loose, and continued Encouragement: "Miss, let's go and pick a peach blossom secretly, shall we take it back?"
Feng Lianzhu is a typical lady, she abides by etiquette in every word and deed, and rarely violates the rules, but not breaking the rules does not mean that she has no intention of breaking the rules.
Occasional rebellion is the biggest dream in every young girl's heart. At this moment, there is a great opportunity in front of her eyes. How can the young Feng Lianzhu resist this kind of temptation?
Outsiders don't know, but as her personal servant girl Xiaomi, she is very clear about her young lady's thoughts.
She stared at her young lady beggingly, as expected, Feng Lianzhu was moved and nodded.
The peach blossoms were indeed very close to the meditation room they were in. When they walked out the door and turned a corner, they saw a peach tree growing in the corner.
Recipe, Shining.
The pink color of the trees dazzled the eyes of the two, and when the wind blew, the peach blossoms fell down one after another, which was too beautiful to behold.
After coming out, Xiaomi realized that the temperature seemed to be a little lower than in the morning. When he just came out, he was overjoyed for a while, and forgot to put on the cloak for the lady.
If it was cold, all the masters and masters in the mansion would not spare her.
"Miss, wait a moment, this servant will help you get the cloak!"
Feng Lianzhu nodded, and after Xiaomi left, he excitedly ran towards the peach tree, raised his head, and saw a big hairy head popping out from the gap between the peach branches on the wall.
The four eyes met, and those eyes glowed like a beast in the dark.
With a cry, Feng Lianzhu took two steps back in fright and fell to the ground.
There was a sharp pain in his hand, and tears filled his eyes uncontrollably.
That fluffy head jumped into the wall courtyard and walked up to Feng Lianzhu.
She was wearing a pink dress with a circle of white fox fur on the neckline, which made her small face more delicate.
Xu Shi was frightened, his face was a little pale, his two beautiful eyebrows were slightly tangled, showing a little pain.
A pair of black and bright eyes, soaked in the tears, are crystal clear like black gemstones after being washed.
Du Changqing had never seen such a delicate and delicate lady so closely.
His heart throbbed suddenly, and he couldn't help but took two steps closer, wanting to see more clearly.
"Don't come here!" Feng Lianzhu was terrified and couldn't help screaming.
The previous resentment on Du Changqing's body has not yet dissipated, and he looks full of hostility.
It's just that to Feng Lianzhu, it was an unseemly high-pitched voice, but to Du Changqing, that soft, waxy and delicate voice was like a feather, tickling his heart.
He couldn't help but want to tease her to say more, "I won't eat you again, what are you afraid of?"
Although he said so in his mouth, Feng Lianzhu's eyes looked like he wanted to eat her.
Feng Lianzhu bit her lip, and only stared at him with a pair of watery eyes, hoping to use this kind of resistance and dissatisfaction in her eyes to make this apprentice leave quickly.
Du Changqing walked closer, "What's your name?"
Seeing that she was silent, she continued, "Why are you here alone? Where is your home?"
Feng Lianzhu still ignored him, Du Changqing saw that she was sitting on the ground, probably injured, and walked closer, "You are injured, how about I help you up?"
It is already very embarrassing to be seen by a foreigner, and now this foreigner has to support her, have physical contact with her, and spread the word, what about her reputation?
Thinking of this, Feng Lianzhu was so frightened that she couldn't help crying, "Go away! Go away!"
The little man on the ground was all pink and white, like a peach blossom, but at this moment he was crying like pear blossoms with rain, tears streaming down his face, his little nose was twitching, he was so pitiful.
Du Changqing suddenly felt distressed, and was about to reach out to comfort her, when another scream came from next to his ear: "Ah! Bad guy! What did you do to my lady?"
He looked up, and the furry face startled Xiaomi, but as a loyal servant, Xiaomi was only stunned for a moment, and immediately ran to Feng Lianzhu to block her, "Don't bully my young lady!"
This misunderstanding is huge!How could he bully her?
Du Changqing looked at Feng Lianzhu, wanting her to explain.
When Feng Lianzhu saw her maid, she felt relieved, and hid her whole face behind her, sobbing, only showing half of her hair to Du Changqing.
Du Changqing was tall and looked fierce. Xiaomi was actually very scared, but for the sake of his own lady, he had to pretend to be righteous and bluffed: "Dengtuzi! Go away, or I will call someone to arrest you Meet the officer!"
Du Changqing thought that he hadn't done anything, how could he be afraid of meeting officials?It's just that there are a group of brothers who came with him, if they are too tired to be arrested, it will be embarrassing.
He really wanted to spend more time with this little lady and listen to her more, but the little lady was crying so hard, she must have hurt from a fall, so she had to go back and find a doctor to check her injuries!
She didn't tell him which prefecture she was from, and he would just find a way to find out by himself.
Thinking of this, Du Changqing looked at the top of the head several times reluctantly, turned around and jumped over the wall to leave.
Xiaomi watched the terrifying man jump over the wall without looking back, finally let out a breath, and found her chest was thumping so violently.
She turned around and said softly to Feng Lianzhu who was still crying: "Miss, the villain is gone, this servant will help you up!"
Feng Lianzhu just fell, although it was a little painful, but he was not hurt because he wore a lot of clothes in winter, and he didn't stand up all the time, because his legs were weak from the fright of Du Changqing's appearance.
Now that Xiaomi said that the villain had left, he stood up tremblingly with Xiaomi's support.
Because of this fright, after returning to the mansion, Feng Lianzhu had nightmares for two nights in a row. In the dream, the wicked man with a beard suddenly turned into a wild beast with a bloody mouth, chasing her all the time, trying to kill her. Swallow it down.
In the winter, Feng Lianzhu was half asleep and half awake, his clothes were soaked through.
When I woke up in the morning, I found my head was heavy and my body was weak, and I reached out to touch my forehead, and then I realized that I was sick.
Feng Lianzhu was ill for a few days, while Du Changqing was out of his mind for a few days.
His mother Lu Xiaowan didn't notice his abnormality, but his brother Qin Rimian did.
"Boss, what's the matter with you these days? Like a little girl who is thinking about spring, sometimes giggling, sometimes dazed, listless!"
Sichun?Du Changqing's heart moved, "What is Sichun?"
Qin Rimian laughed meanly, "If a lady misses a man, or if a man misses a lady, it's called Sichun!"
Not to mention, he really thought about it every day, could it be that he was really yearning for that delicate little lady he saw in the temple that day?
"What should I do if I feel spring?" Du Changqing asked shamelessly.
"I'm thinking of spring, why don't you go to the brothel and find a random woman to vent your anger, or find a way to marry that little lady home, you can vent your anger any way you want!" Qin Rimian laughed quite lewdly.
Du Changqing was full of admiration: "How do you understand all this?"
"Of course! I don't even look at who I am, brother!" Qin Rimian patted his chest.
who is he?It's just a little bachelor who has never touched a woman!Because in the military camp, you can listen to what others say, and you can say a few words casually!
Compared with Du Changqing, a good-natured young man like Du Lei and Lu Xiaowan, he just listened to more nasty talk!
So this is ah!Du Changqing didn't know about it, and took what he said deeply.
"Boss, which lady do you like?" Qin Rimian guessed casually when he saw his appearance.
Unexpectedly, he guessed it right!
Du Changqing didn't hide it from him, and told Qin Rimian about meeting Feng Lianzhu that day.
Originally, Qin Rimian, who wanted to see the little lady of the rich family the most, did not see him, but Du Changqing, who took the initiative to help them divert the gatekeeper away, saw him.
Qin Rimian was a little bit regretful, but in order for his brother to get what he wanted, Qin Rimian volunteered to take on the important task of finding out Feng Lianzhu's whereabouts.
That night, Qin Rimian went to the mountain in the dark, knocked out a young monk, and took him to a remote place. Under coercion and temptation, he learned that on the eighteenth day, only Feng Cao's second residence came here. two ladies and a lady.
Qin Rimian asked again which family the young lady belonged to, but the young monk refused to say anything: the Buddha knew about this matter of ruining the reputation of the family, and he would punish her.
Qin Rimian thought that the range had been reduced to such a small size, so he didn't make things difficult for him, so he knocked out the little monk again and sent him back to the temple.
The Feng and Cao families are quite well-known in Beijing, and after a little inquiring, they knew that the little lady Du Changqing bumped into that day was none other than Feng Lianzhu, the young lady of the Feng family.
However, I heard that Feng's family is talking about marriage for Feng Lianzhu, and they have already met several families, and maybe they will be settled someday.
When Du Changqing heard this, he became anxious and ran to Du's mansion.
But he didn't ask his mother Lu Xiaowan to find someone to help him marry him, instead he went to his father Du Lei, "Father, how did you marry my mother back then?"
Du Lei usually has a very serious expression on his face, but when Lu Xiaowan is mentioned, his expression is much gentler.
Speaking of this, it was the pride of his life!Although he wondered why his son would be curious about this matter, he still answered him, "I have brought the betrothal gift and come directly to the door."
"It's so simple?" Du Changqing couldn't believe it, "My son heard people say, don't you have to discuss marriage first?"
"Cough cough," Du Lei coughed twice, unwilling to admit in front of his own son that he was teased by his brothers and forgot about etiquette, and said vaguely, "At that time your grandfather and grandmother had already passed away!"
I see!Du Changqing felt suddenly enlightened!Father directly married A Niang because A Niang's parents passed away.
If he wants to marry Feng Lianzhu now, he must get her parents' consent first!
In order to show caution, Du Changqing brought a group of brothers to Feng's mansion and asked to see Master Feng.
Master Feng is a literati and has little contact with military officials, but he has heard of Du Le's name as a "Three Masters".
Although he was very curious that someone from Du's residence wanted to see him, even if it wasn't Du's father, it should be Du Lei. Why did Du Changqing, who had just grown up, come?
After hesitating for a while, with the idea of supporting the younger generation, I still interviewed him.
It's a good thing they didn't see him. After seeing him, Master Feng immediately asked someone to take a broom and drove Du Changqing out.
Master Feng is the most courteous literati, how can anyone come to propose marriage for himself?
Don't say that his family is not worthy of his family, even if he is, with Du Changqing's looks and such a rough man, it is impossible for him to marry his spoiled and raised daughter to him!
In Master Feng's mind, the one who is worthy of his own daughter is a man who is handsome, handsome and handsome. Du Changqing, a vulgar man who came from the army, is not even worthy of carrying his daughter's shoes!
Du Changqing came out in frustration. Qin Rimian and others who were guarding outside knew that he was rejected by seeing his expression.
He was very annoyed in his heart, but he pretended nothing happened and said to Du Changqing, "Boss, what did Miss Feng say?"
"Master Yuezhang said that no one proposes a marriage for him!" Du Changqing said: "I plan to go back and find my mother to come forward!"
"Boss, then hurry up!" Qin Rimian said, "Here, brother, help you watch! Make sure no other matchmakers are allowed in!"
Du Changqing was already worried about what to do if someone else got on the board first. Hearing what Qin Rimian said, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Brother, help me watch it! I'll go back quickly!"
Qin Rimian patted his chest, "Okay! Put it on my brother!"
Dare to look down on my boss?Qin Rimian gritted his teeth, and thought viciously in his heart: I still have to let Miss Feng marry my boss!With Laozi here, let me see who dares to come to propose marriage!
Not to mention, not long after Du Changqing left, a matchmaker was entrusted to go to Feng's residence to arrange marriage for Feng Lianzhu.
When Qin Rimian saw the matchmaker, he immediately winked, and before the matchmaker approached Feng's residence, he dragged her two brothers into a dark alley.
The matchmaker had never seen such a battle before, her legs were so frightened that her legs went limp, "You guys, you are in broad daylight, at the feet of the emperor, do you want to know the law and break the law?"
"What law do you know, what law do you break?" Qin Rimian smiled grimly, "I just asked you to say a few words, ma'am, did you hit you or rob you?"
Just talking, do you need to look fierce?However, it's not just beating or robbing!
The matchmaker settled down, "Several strong men, what can I do with my old man?"
"It's nothing, I just want to tell my aunt that Miss Feng of the Feng family is attracted by my boss, Du Changqing, and no one can marry except my boss!"
Qin Rimian drew out his dagger, and the cold light shone out, colder than the cold wind in early spring. He lowered his head, slowly gestured the dagger left and right from his thumb, and said casually: "Anyone who dares to steal a wife from my boss has to ask me." This dagger in your hand!"
The matchmaker trembled, and the man seemed to say it casually, but the words were full of threats.
She is just a matchmaker in the capital city who makes a living by talking about marriage, she talks a lot, but this group of bastards always only move but don't talk, how can she be their opponent?
The matchmaker flinched, "I understand!"
"Also," Qin Rimian smiled, "tell all the matchmakers that no one else is allowed to accept Miss Feng's marriage except for my boss, Du Changqing!"
"Yes, the old man will leave first!"
After the matchmaker finished speaking, she quickly left the alley, stopped after walking for a long time, and said "Pooh" in Qin Rimian's direction, "A group of bandits, I really think I'm afraid of you? I don't want to be as knowledgeable as you!"
A soldier of the rank of commander Qin Rimian can't even compare with the gatekeepers of wealthy families in the capital.
But the more delicate and expensive a person is, the more he cherishes his life. He is not afraid of others being reasonable, but the most fearful is unreasonable people.
It's like Qin Rimian, who is not afraid of wearing shoes if he is barefoot, and nothing else, what a shame!
Porcelain to touch corrugated?How silly!
Although the matchmaker was angry in her heart, she was helpless!There's no point in risking your own life for those people!
After cursing secretly, she stomped her feet and went to the house that invited her.
When Du Changqing returned to the Du mansion, he immediately went to find Lu Xiaowan, "Mother, my son wants to marry Miss Feng from Dashi Feng's family, please help him to come and marry him!"
"What?" Lu Xiaowan and Du Lei exclaimed at the same time.
Lu Xiaowan wondered: "Changqing, how do you know that there is a Miss Feng in Dashi Feng's family? Have you met?"
Du Lei said impatiently: "Go and ask yourself! Don't bother your mother!"
Father, am I your own?Du Changqing curled his lips secretly, "My son went to beg, Master Feng said his son was rude, so he came back and begged my mother to come forward!"
"That's even more impossible!" Before Lu Xiaowan could say anything, Du Lei had flatly refused, "Since they have already rejected you, there is no reason for your mother to come and humiliate them!"
Most men in the army are straight-tempered, and Du Lei is no exception, but being straight-tempered doesn't mean he is stupid.
Those literati have always looked down on soldiers from the bottom of their hearts. When there is no conflict of interest, they can maintain a basic harmony when they meet face to face.
But when it comes to getting married, Du Lei knows very well in his heart that it is absolutely impossible for those literati to find a family of generals with no background like theirs.
Therefore, he and Lu Xiaowan, as well as Du Daddy and Ning Shi, have always only considered Du Changqing's marriage to a family of military generals of the same level.
Only in the eyes of generals, Du Changqing, who is good at literature and martial arts, is a piece of fragrant bun that everyone is rare.
In the eyes of literati, the current Du Changqing, just a battalion commander, even if he can become a general or a general in the future, he will still be nothing more than a rough man.
Because of this, Du Lei would never let Lu Xiaowan come and humiliate others.
Because Lu Xiaowan had conflicts with those noble ladies when she was young, she didn't like those people, even the families behind them.
It's just that this time it's about the marriage of his son Du Changqing. His son suddenly has a daughter-in-law he wants to marry. As a mother, I don't want to lose face, so I should help him fight for it anyway.
But Du Lei vetoed it outright, so Lu Xiaowan had no choice but to suppress this thought.
Du Lei said to Du Changqing with a very serious expression: "Father has no objection to whoever you want to marry! However, father and mother are only responsible for helping you prepare for marriage, and you can handle the rest by yourself!"
Du Changqing had no choice but to go back to the front of Feng's house.
Qin Rimian in front of the Feng Mansion proudly asked him for credit: "Boss, brother, I have already spread the word with the matchmaker in Beijing. This Miss Feng Mansion is not allowed to marry anyone except you, the boss!"
This is a good idea!In this way, Mr. Yue Zhang has to agree if he disagrees.
Du Changqing laughed loudly, and patted Qin Rimian on the shoulder, "Brother, thank you very much! On the day I and Miss Feng get married, I must respect you with three bowls!"
Outside the door, Du Changqing and Qin Rimian were very proud of their plan, while Feng Dashi and Feng's elder brother Feng Erge in Feng's residence were so angry that they wanted to rush out and fight with them!
Mrs. Feng immediately stopped a few people, "Those people outside are rough people, their arms are thicker than your third master's calves, what do you have to fight with them?"
Senior scholar Feng said angrily: "Unexpectedly, there is such a scoundrel in Du's house! Every day Lai rushes in front of Feng's house, but he can't drive him away, and let the matchmaker say that Ah Zhu is not allowed to marry anyone except him!"
Big brother Feng said bitterly: "This kid is too deceitful! How can he ruin my family's reputation so much!"
Second Brother Feng was gearing up, "I still don't believe it, he still dares to beat me up? If he really hit me, it's a good time to go to the governor to file a complaint!"
Speaking of the governor of the capital, Master Feng became even more angry. He went to the yamen in person. The governor just started to receive him well, and sent dozens of people to chase them away.
As a result, when those officers and soldiers saw Du Changqing and Qin Rimian, they immediately froze and didn't even dare to move their hands, so they apologized and went back.
Later, Fu Yin sent someone to send a letter, saying: "These people are just busy and need to walk around in front of Feng's house from time to time. They have no intention of threatening to kidnap or hurt anyone in Feng's house. Therefore, the government can't control this matter. Please discuss it privately." as well.
In a fit of rage, Grand Master Feng approached Du Lei for a theory after he came down to court. Du Lei said, "Let the juniors settle their own affairs!" which made Master Feng almost vomit blood in anger.
Your son is a weed that can grow anywhere, and he doesn't care about his reputation at all, but his precious daughter, Azhu, is raised up with golden branches and jade leaves, and she will surely have a smooth life in the future. leave this stain?
But the old man made it clear that he didn't care, what could he do?Feng University's morale was so angry that he hadn't had a good night's sleep for more than ten days.
Outside the gate, Du Changqing, Qin Rimian and others sent several people to take turns walking around in front of the mansion every day.
The three fathers and sons of the Feng family met Du Changqing and the others in it, which is no different from a scholar meeting a soldier. It's hard to explain why!In addition to anger, there is nothing to do!
Mrs. Feng said worryingly: "Sir, before every now and then, there would always be a matchmaker, or a lady who would come up to check on A Zhu's words, but now those people stand in front of the door, and there has been no one for a long time. He came to the door. If this continues, the concubine is worried that A Zhu's marriage will be affected."
Brother Feng said loudly: "The influence is the influence, at worst, my son will raise Ah Zhu for the rest of his life!"
"Bah!" Master Feng knocked on him, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could your sister not get married?"
Then he turned to Mrs. Feng: "Choose a suitable family from the family who came to marry you earlier, and you will come to the door in person and reply that you are willing to discuss marriage."
Mrs. Feng agreed. She was actually satisfied with two of them before, but she just wanted to choose another one for her daughter, so she never agreed.
Feng Dashiman thought that this would be the end of the matter.
As a result, when she came back the next day, Mrs. Feng's eyes were red and swollen, and she told two good families before that when she heard her visit, one refused to see her because she was unwell.
The other family met, but when they heard about her coming, they immediately said that because they couldn't wait for the reply from the Feng family, her son had already started discussing marriage with the young lady of the other family, and the two parties had already agreed verbally.
When sending someone to inquire about the news earlier, she also said that her son is not too old, so there is no rush, and she can wait for Feng's reply slowly.
Now that there is a sudden marriage discussion, how can Mrs. Feng not understand?
The few suitable families are already unwilling to get married, and no other family dares to come to propose marriage. The daughter is already sixteen. If no suitable family is settled within this year, it will be even more difficult to choose a good one next year or two. family.
Old Madam Feng felt sad, and couldn't help but her eyes were red.
Do you really want to marry your daughter to that rude boy in the Du Mansion?
In desperation, Mrs. Feng could only think of some good things.
This thought really reminded her of many advantages of the Du Mansion.
For example, the population is simple, there are only Father Du and Ning Shi, Du Lei and Lu Xiaowan in the family.
Mrs. Feng naturally knew that Du Lei slapped the noble lady because of Lu Xiaowan, and she also knew that because of this incident, the Du Mansion gained a good reputation for caring for daughters-in-law.
Lu Xiaowan was born in the countryside, if A Zhu married, she would definitely be able to find no faults.
Ning was originally a remarried widow, but I heard that she has a hot temper and is very sincere towards Du Lei and Lu Xiaowan.
A person who can't even be harsh on his daughter-in-law will naturally not be harsh on his grand-daughter-in-law!
After thinking about it, Mrs. Feng felt that apart from the fact that Du's family was poor and Du Changqing was rude, from a woman's point of view, it was really a good marriage!
The population is small, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along well, and the probability of being monopolized by the husband is very high.Is there anything happier than this for a woman?
Old Mrs. Feng is not a woman with shallow eyesight. She was born in a famous family and married into a wealthy family. She knows all about the dirty things hidden in the backyards of various mansions!
Even in such a noble Feng residence, there are some unspeakable things.
As Feng Lianzhu was her only and most beloved daughter, Mrs. Feng naturally hoped that she would be pampered by another person in the future.
