Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 163 The two governments compete for marriage (5)
Du Zhong waved his hand and said: "I know the situation of your family. If your family were not honest and hardworking, I would not have told you. Forget about the girl who goes out, she's from her husband's family, and you can't talk about it, but you can still make decisions about your two boys, and their errands in the mansion are not particularly good. There is a better future. There are also six girls, seven boys and nine boys. They haven't got any errands yet. You see, there are not many people in the mansion. You have to eat, drink and wear clothes. You only work in the mansion. It’s not a long-term thing.”

Gao Laoshi was taken into consideration by Du Zhong, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.Du Zhong stretched out his arm and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Honestly, we are not outsiders, your family is kind and honest, that's why I tell you this. Believe me, no matter where the eldest girl in our family marries It won't be too bad in any house, and it will definitely be much better than it is now."

"Uncle Zhong, do you mean that the nephew and the whole family are following the elder girl?" Gao honestly asked in a low voice.

Du Zhong nodded and said: "That's right, that's what I mean. If you are willing, I will go and talk to the eldest girl for you, and the eldest girl will definitely agree."

Gao Laoshi quickly waved his hand and said, "No hurry, Uncle Zhong, the elder girl's marriage has not been settled yet, so it's inappropriate to say this at this moment. Your nephew will keep your words in mind. Let your nephew's family go to discuss it. If there is no objection from the family, when the eldest girl chooses the family to accompany her room, you will remember your nephew as the first one."

Du Zhong nodded and said: "Well, that's what you said. To be honest, that's all for now. I'd like to tell your family members not to talk nonsense."

Gao honestly said: "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, the ones in my nephew's house can't be more tight-lipped, and she won't say anything unless she is asked to die."

Du Zhong nodded and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good. By the way, they gave me some sugar cakes a while ago. I'm old and I don't like to eat these sweet and sticky things. You can bring them to the children later. Come on, every child loves sweetness."

Gao Laoshi hurriedly got up to thank him, Fang sat down to drink with Du Zhong again, and ate until the moon shadow was setting in the west, Gao Laoshi just went home with a big bag of sugar cakes.

Du Heng, who didn't know that the old housekeeper had already started to arrange his dowry, returned to Xiyuxuan, called Hong Ling to him and questioned him carefully, and Hong Ling explained in detail what happened in the mansion today.

In the middle of the afternoon today, the official media sent by Prince Wei's Mansion and Prince Ning's Mansion successively came to ask for marriage, and the two official media even had a big quarrel in the mansion. He sent someone to propose marriage to the eldest girl in the mansion.Madam Su was supposed to accept the post, but because Madam Su had her bald head shaved, she couldn't meet people because she didn't buy a fake bun for a while, so this post can only be accepted by the old lady.If it was just a family asking for marriage, the old lady would definitely agree to it at the time, but the two official media made a fuss, which made the old lady helpless, so she could only accept the post first, saying that she would reply after discussing it.

The master who is in charge of the family is far away in northern Xinjiang, and the old lady is deeply afraid of her daughter-in-law, and more importantly, she is afraid that she will be poisoned, so she ordered someone to wait for the eldest girl at the gate, and invite her to come as soon as she enters the door. Yishouyuan to discuss.Mrs. He is also too old to use her brain, and she forgot that she can send someone to bring her granddaughter back to discuss immediately.And Du Zhong was not in the mansion when he went out to do business in the afternoon, so no one went to report to Du Heng, otherwise she could have prepared earlier, so that she wouldn't be beaten in the face as soon as she got home.In the Summer Palace just now, Du Heng almost fainted from anger.

After listening to Hongling's detailed words, Du Heng said in a deep voice: "Qingfen, go and call your mother, Yangmei, go out and have a look, don't let anyone eavesdrop on our conversation. Hongling, you... you can stay here .”

Everyone was ordered to come to the upper room, Yang Mei inspected to make sure no one was eavesdropping, Du Heng said to everyone in a deep voice: "Everyone knows what happened today, I can't marry regardless of Prince Wei's Mansion or Prince Ning's Mansion, but now The current situation is that if I don't leave, I will have to marry one of them. What do you think should be done?"

Nanny Li said first: "Girl, the Tao is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Now that the master is far away in the northern border, your marriage cannot be decided."

Du Heng said coldly: "Do you think that Tangdiyuan will not seize this opportunity?" Mother Li was speechless after asking a single sentence, she lowered her head and did not speak.

Yang Mei said bluntly: "The girl is definitely not right to marry, and the servant is willing to protect the girl and escape from the house."

Hong Ling hesitated for a moment and then said: "Girl, this servant is also willing to escape from the General's Mansion with you."

Du Heng was surprised and said, "Hongling, are you willing too?"

Hong Ling nodded and said: "Yes, I am willing. I am already sixteen this year, and I will have to be married in a few years. Instead of being randomly assigned, I am willing to accompany the girl to escape from the general's mansion. I believe that with the girl's ability, It’s not bad to live anywhere. It’s not bad for slaves to follow the girl.”

Du Heng smiled lightly and said, "You're blunt. But can you part with your old lady?"

Hong Ling lowered her head and said in a low voice: "If you can't bear it, you have to give it up. Anyway, the slaves will not stay at home for a few years, so let them be slaves and get married."

Qingfen and Qinfang also shouted anxiously: "We are the girl's servant girls, we will be where the girl is." Du Heng has the identity deeds of the two sisters and Nanny Li, and these three girls are actually Du Heng's. A servant, not a servant of the general's mansion.

Nanny Li said helplessly: "The servants also want to follow the girl. If the girl is determined to leave, the servants will find a way to arrange it. In the past, the servants could live with the two of them. When they leave the mansion, the servants will do more. Some embroidery work can also allow the girl to live the life she is now."

"Are you all willing to come with me?" Du Heng asked again solemnly.

"Yes, servants and maidservants are willing." Madam Li and the other five knelt down and said solemnly.

There was a smile on Du Heng's face, she nodded and said: "That's good, you all get up, and start making arrangements to leave the capital starting tomorrow. I have long intended to go to the south, and now it just happens."

Nanny Li hurriedly asked, "What about Sister Liao, she can't move now."

Du Heng said in a deep voice: "I have my own arrangements for Mammy. Since I want to leave, I can't leave anyone behind."

The six masters and servants have discussed and made a decision, and Du Heng feels more at ease. For the future life, Du Heng is full of new hope in his heart.
