When Du Hengshuang heard that Xiao Shiji was rebuilding the yard of the new house in the Xiao family, she raised her head from the embroidery in front of her and looked through the Qian screen window at the green shade in the yard and the exotic peonies on the porch. She was startled.

for a long time.

Fang Wu Niang was also in a very complicated mood, so she deliberately gave Du Hengshuang a few free days without talking to her, and let her study the details by herself.

Xu Shao came back from the Yamen that day. He was covered in sweat and his official robe was soaked through.

Fang Wu Niang smiled and stepped forward to help him clean up. She also ordered her mother-in-law to bring warm water in for Xu Shao to take a bath. She personally picked out a cool and comfortable fine Gebu summer robe and put it on the bed in the back room until Xu Shao came out after taking a bath.

Put on.

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

When Xu Shao talked about the two legitimate sons born to his original wife, Fang Wu Niang never answered the conversation. She just smiled and brought over a sapphire tray with a bowl of iced mung bean soup in it, and served Xu Shao to drink it slowly.

"Shuang'er is getting married in August, right? Although she is not my biological child, I have watched her grow up, so we are relatives. I will add makeup to her tomorrow, so don't refuse." Xu.

When Shao drank the mung bean soup, even the last bit of anger disappeared, and his eyes looked at Fang Wuniang with a touch of softness.

Fang Wu Niang is also in her thirties, but she has always been pampered. Moreover, she is a hard-working person, well-maintained, and still stunningly beautiful. Standing next to Du Hengshuang, she actually looks like her sister, unlike her mother.

Xu Shao stretched out his hand and gently tied up a strand of hair hanging down for Fang Wu Niang.

"But Xue'er and I have a father-daughter relationship. Since she calls me 'Dad,' I can't wrong her. You have to think carefully about her marriage. If it's not a good marriage, I won't accept it."

"Xu Shao's impression of Du Hengxue is much better than that of Du Hengshuang.

However, that's all.

Fang Wu Niang understood what Xu Shao didn't say and curled her lips in disdain in her heart. She still said with a smile on her face: "After Shuang'er is sent out, I will go and see Xue'er. Xue'er is young and is not in a hurry.

.As for Shuang'er, even though the marriage was arranged since childhood, I'm still a little dissatisfied and wondering if I should wait any longer."

Xu Shao's hand paused. He removed it from Fang Wu Niang's cheek as if nothing had happened, stood up and said, "She is your daughter, you make the decision. I'm going to the outer courtyard." After that, he turned around and went out.

Fang Wu Niang supported her forehead with one hand, leaned on the table, looked at Xu Shao's back, and sighed silently. - The couple's life was like this, which was actually a sign of success. But he had a son, and she had a daughter.

There is no life for two people.

"Take out the colorful satin that you admired from Qian'er's palace. Follow me to the eldest lady's room." Fang Wu Niang ordered and took her maid and wife to Du Hengshuang's house.

When Du Hengshuang saw Fang Wu Niang come in, he quickly put down the embroidery bandage in his hand and called "Mother" with a smile.

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

Fortunately, it's just a little bloodshot. It must be from the exhaustion of working on the embroidery for days.

There is no redness or swelling in the eyelids, and there are no tears on the face. There should be no hiding and crying.

Fang Wu Niang nodded with satisfaction and waved all the maids and women waiting in the room to leave. Then she took Du Hengshuang and sat on the bamboo couch by the window and asked in a low voice: "My mother hasn't come to talk to you these days. Do you know why?"

Reason?"

Du Hengshuang nodded slightly, "Mom, you want me to take a break and think about my marriage."

Fang Wu Niang narrowed her eyes and smiled with satisfaction, stretched out her hand to lift Du Hengshuang's chin, and looked at her face, which looked exactly like hers, but her eyes were exactly the same as Du Xiancheng's. Although she had just turned fifteen, she was calm and determined, with a strong personality.

The indomitable spirit is inside.

In other words, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. How could she, a small girl, know about such troublesome things as mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sisters-in-law?

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

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

Fang Wu Niang shook her head in disapproval, "Shuang'er, mother, let me say something to make you sad. Shiji's heart is with you, and Long Xiangye is also his mother. He can not want his wife, but he can't want his mother, you understand.

?”

Du Hengshuang lowered his head and said nothing.

"My whole life, I have been with your father first. When I married him, he no longer had his parents in the house. I have never experienced the suffering of my mother-in-law, and you have not seen the ways in which your mother-in-law can make things difficult for her daughter-in-law. Later, I

Remarried to an adult, he is not young anymore, and his parents are long gone. I

Although I am filling a house, I am still in charge of the house. To be honest, I have never suffered from those cowardly attitudes. I know your temperament is actually bigger than mine, and you were raised in a pampered manner. You are like this

, How can I be willing to let you marry into the Xiao family?" Fang Wu Niang persuaded her earnestly.

Du Hengshuang listened for a long time, then looked up suddenly and saw a white hair on her mother's temple. She was filled with emotion in her heart. The words rolled on the tip of her tongue for a long time before she said, "Mother, I still said the same thing.

Brother Ji is a sensible person. Now that he knows the truth, he will not let me be wronged in the future."

"How do you know what will happen in the future?" Fang Wu Niang calmly attacked Du Hengshuang. It is good for a young girl to have a new love and have the determination to make a choice like Du Hengshuang. Fang Wu Niang once again deeply regretted booking for Du Hengshuang so early.

Marriage.

Du Hengshuang held Fang Wu's hand firmly and forcefully, "Mom, dad said, don't stop eating because of choking. My aunt has many bad things, but being as good as my brother, in my heart, can offset many of my aunt's bad things. My brother recently

Mom knows what she is doing better than I do. He doesn’t blindly obey, nor does he blindly go against the family. He has done his best within the scope of his ability."

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

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

"My brother is the eldest son, mother, he has his responsibilities. If I get married, I will be the eldest daughter-in-law, and I will also have my responsibilities. Don't worry, mother, I am not a soft persimmon and will not be manipulated by others. Although my aunt has some feelings for me,

Prejudice, but the human heart is full of flesh. As time goes by, she will naturally know what is good and what is good, and will not make it too difficult for me. Take a step back and say

, if my brother and I break off the engagement just because of my aunt, and find a husband later, will it be perfect? ​​Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, brothers, which family doesn’t have these things? Do you think my mother still has to sit for me and my sister?

If you are looking for a husband after giving birth, why don't you find two sons-in-law to come to your home?" Du Hengshuang started to joke at the end.

Fang Wu Niang sighed softly, stroked Du Hengshuang's thin shoulders, shook her head and said: "That's it for you. I know you have a tough temper and are not someone who can suffer losses. But your sister is different. She has a soft temper.

If I meet someone like your Aunt Xiao, you can swallow her skin and bones, and she is still helping others make wedding clothes. In short, I must keep my eyes open when choosing your sister's husband. And you will marry me in the future.

After you get married, you should also help your sister grow up and choose a husband with good character for her. It doesn’t have to be rich or noble. As long as the character is really good and he can treat her well for the rest of his life. Even if I give her my whole private house, it will be fine.

Yes."

Du Hengshuang's heart moved, and she remembered the dream she had had before. In the light mirror in the dream, she seemed to have glimpsed something that had not happened yet.

Until now, those things have come true one by one, such as the "battle" between myself and the unknown soul.

And will my sister really die of poverty and illness?

Du Hengshuang's eyes suddenly shrank, and after a long while, he said calmly: "My mother and I will discuss the details of my sister's marriage together. Her dowry should be as large as possible. It's better to give my sister all the shops left by my father.

"Fang Wu Niang originally followed Du Xiancheng's advice when he was still alive, and gave most of the Du family's property to Du Hengshuang as a dowry.

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

Du Hengshuang tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "My sister doesn't know much about business. If I give her the shop and she doesn't know how to take care of it, it will actually harm her. How about this, we divide all the Du family's shops into four parts.

My mother will have a share, my sister, I, and my brother will each have a share. I will take care of the shop, and I will give my mother, my brother, and my sister a share of the dividends every year, is that okay?"

When Fang Wu Niang saw Du Hengshuang, she gave away most of Nuo Da's wealth without hesitation. Although it was for her younger brother and younger sister, there are many people in this world who would even plot against their own parents for ten cents, and she couldn't help but think more

He sighed with emotion and said with a smile: "If you don't become a family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. If you get married in the future, you may regret today's decision."

Du Hengshuang smiled and shook his head, "Mom underestimated me. The shop that dad left behind is capital. If I can't multiply the capital several times, dad's teachings to me will be in vain."

The Du family is a family of merchants. Ever since Fang Wu Niang remarried to Xu Shao and it was inconvenient to take care of the Du family's property personally, Du Hengshuang began to learn to read the account books and follow the Du family's shopkeeper to learn business. Up to now, there are already some people who are better than others.

Better than blue's stance.

Fang Wu Niang thought about Du Hengshuang's thoughts in the shop over the years, and believed what she said today, and said with a smile: "If you think so, I, the mother, must be on your side. Let's do this, I don't want my share.

I will make a dowry for you. The shop is divided into four parts, and you occupy two. With half of the capital in hand, it is more legitimate for you to take charge of the shop."

Du Hengshuang had the right idea and did not refuse. She nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely take good care of the Du family's property and leave a way out for my younger brother and younger sister."

Seeing that Du Hengshuang had thought everything through, Fang Wuniang stopped trying to persuade her. She stood up and said, "Then you can embroider your hijab. In two days, the master of Yi Jinyuan will send you a wedding dress for you to try on."

.If there is anything that needs to be changed, you can discuss it with the Grand Master yourself."

Du Hengshuang sent Fang Wuniang out with a smile, and a stone in her heart was finally relieved.

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

Xu Yanhui and Xu Yanbang stood in front of Xu Shao's desk with their hands down, wondering what Xu Shao was going to do when he asked them to come over.

Xu Shao sat quietly for a while and then said slowly: "The matter of Guan Zheng is that I sent a message to Dali Temple to dismiss him. - His crime will not lead to death. Boss, do you understand what I say?"

Xu Yanhui moved, "Dad's arrangement is of course good, but it's just that the old man got an advantage."

"It's just corruption. It's enough to be dismissed and never hired. After all, it is a human life. You are still young, so you don't have to bear a burden for this family." Xu Shao said slowly, as if he knew what Xu Yanhui was doing in private.

"I'm naturally happy that you can be friendly to your brothers and sisters. The Guan family and the Xiao family are bullying others too much, so I have to give them some color. Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. Shuang'er's mother is my wife, they are like this

Shuang'er is plotting against Shuang'er, but she just doesn't take me seriously. Although Xiao Shiji is capable, Prince Yi doesn't have a situation where he has to do it. His mother is now thinking of overpowering Shuang'er to prevent her from entering.

Although the idea of ​​being alone is a good one, it is too short-sighted. If Shuang'er hadn't insisted on marrying Xiao Shiji, I would have left the Xiao family with nothing now." Xu Shao had a white face and a beard, and looked like an elegant scholar, but

What he said was cold and emotionless.

Only then did Xu Yanhui become a little moved. He couldn't help but raise his head and asked, "The Xiao family treated her like this, and she still wants to get married?!"

"What her?! Who is she?! - She is your sister! Put away those unethical bastard ideas of yours as soon as possible! Shuang'er and Xue'er both want to get married openly, and you also want to discuss marriage.

My wife, please calm down and stop fooling around." Xu Shao's words were both soft and hard. Although he was scolding Xu Yanhui, he was actually beating Xu Yanbang.

When Xu Shao was furious, Xu Yanhui and Xu Yanbang did not dare to say anything. Besides, Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue were indeed their sisters in terms of etiquette, and this could not be changed.

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

When they were approaching Xu Yanhui's courtyard, Xu Yanhui stopped Xu Yanbang and asked, "Would you like to go in and sit for a while?"

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

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