Chapter 138 Sleepwalking 1
Mrs. Du sighed helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to borrow the yard. This mansion may be taken back by the Ministry of Households one day. There is no real duke in the Duke's mansion. The mansion bestowed by the emperor is not worth living. I dare not borrow."

"Oh, third aunt. Isn't Yan Sui just in favor? How can the emperor not give the old Duke the face of your first-rank wife. It's impossible to take it back. How about it, let's lend it to Xiaosan for the time being. If the emperor really takes it back, it won’t be too late for Xiaosan and the others to move out! I’m optimistic about it, Zhiting Courtyard is next to the courtyard wall of the back garden, and there is a door on the wall, which is the backyard of the second bedroom. It is also convenient to travel. In this way, they can not go through the main entrance of the Duke's Mansion. It will not affect the Duke's Mansion!"

Mrs. Liu has already made up her mind.

Mrs. Du is an elder.It's hard to say not to lend the yard to the juniors.So it was pushed on Cen Sanniang: "Hey, old age is useless. I always have to take a nap after lunch. His aunt, Sanniang is in charge of the house now, and I can't be in charge. Sanniang, send him off. Aunt. Mother Yin, help me to rest."

no?Mrs. Du couldn't fight Liu's entanglement, so she pushed her to herself?Cen Sanniang was dumbfounded, seeing the old lady smiled apologetically at her, and helped Yin's mother into the inner room.

"Little Ninth Daughter-in-law!" Liu moved her buttocks to Cen Sanniang's side, and her mouth, half eaten by rouge, was getting closer and closer to her.

Cen Sanniang was sweating profusely from behind, she couldn't do anything about this aggressive and cheeky woman.

"Ouch!" Cen Sanniang's stomach twitched, and she immediately enlarged it, clutching her stomach and calling Xia Chu, "Go and ask the doctor to come and see, why is it so painful after drinking medicine!"

Xia Chu helped her and prepared the soft sedan loudly.

Cen Sanniang said weakly to Mrs. Liu: "Auntie, I'm really sorry today. I'm here for a little day, and I'm in so much pain that I can't greet you."

"Hey, hey, San Niang!" Mrs. Liu followed her out.

Yin Sanniang quickly got into the soft sedan chair, and told Xia Chu, "Find a sedan chair to take Auntie home."

The soft sedan carried her away in a hurry.

Xia Chu held back his laughter, and quickly called a few more people to bring up the soft sedan chair, stuffed Liu Shi in with a smile, carried her out of the mansion.

Liu lifted up the curtain and shouted, "Go back and tell Sanniang that I will look for her tomorrow!"

Come tomorrow?Xia Chu sighed deeply for his master.

Go back and tell Cen Sanniang.Cen Sanniang hugged the quilt and beat the bed and rolled: "...I'm dead!"

Ah Qiuxia couldn't help laughing, and stepped forward to persuade her: "Young Madam, hiding is not an option? I send her away today, but she will come back tomorrow. I will send her away tomorrow, and she will come back the day after tomorrow."

Cen Sanniang said bitterly: "A pot of mutton soup costs one tael of silver. Even eating and taking food will take up our house. Thinking about it makes me vomit. No, I must think of a way tomorrow to let her know that the Duke's mansion It's not easy to bully if the man is not around!"

When Du Yansui was here, she didn't see this uncle and aunt come to the door, she must be afraid of him.I thought Mrs. Zhang was ill in the mansion.Yan Wan is not married and it is not convenient to quarrel, so she bullies the old lady who is about [-] and herself who just passed the door.

"Young madam, your body can't withstand a slap from someone, you can't force it!" Xia Chu said worriedly.

Hearing her talk about her body shape, Cen Sanniang suddenly thought of someone, her eyes lit up: "Go, get Mother Fang. I think she is the only person in this mansion who can challenge the uncle and aunt of the second bedroom!"

Ah Qiu and Xia Chu also applauded: "That's right, I think Fang's mother was carrying two kitchen knives back then, it was really majestic!"

The three of them finally regained some confidence.

Early the next morning, Du Yanwan came with her girl Duo'er.

She was wearing a long-sleeved shirt for meeting guests, with a side bun.The purple peony sent by Cen Sanniang that day was inserted into the bun, making her delicate face look a little more charming.

Cen Sanniang was about to send people to the Zhengqi Hall to report the news, and asked the old lady to pretend to be sick. When she saw Du Yanwan came to the door, she understood what she meant: "Yanwan, you just stay with your mother and grandmother."

Du Yanwan entered the room, quickly pulled out a riding whip from her sleeve, put it on the table, and raised her brows: "Sister-in-law, don't reason with those shameless people. Listen to me, if you dare to be rude, just wave the whip to drive away go out!"

"When my elder brother was away, my grandmother said that it was inconvenient because there was no male master in the house. She closed the door and refused to see visitors, and no one was allowed in. When the second grandpa came, the guards dared not stop him. Grandma could only pretend The second grandfather went to the head of the patriarch and borrowed two yards with two entrances from the big house. He never paid a penny in rent, and did not mention when to pay it back. I think that, the second room was borrowing for nothing for a lifetime. "

"According to me, there should be no food. The two families are separated by a wall, and you can walk over in a few steps after going out the door. If you eat well, the whole family will come to eat in the future."

"...Grandmother is an elder, and she can't shame herself. What are we worried about?"

Cen Sanniang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she asked Duo'er to put away the whip, and said softly: "Since he is the elder in the next room, it's not good to drive him out with a whip."

"Sister-in-law! Don't be soft-hearted!" Du Yanwan thought that in the past there were only her grandmother and mother in the house, and she never reached out to the second wife for help.

"I know, I know." Cen Sanniang comforted her, and turned the topic to Du Yansui: "After your brother came back, did the second room borrow the room? How did your brother cope?"

"My brother? When the uncles said it, he just listened. After talking for a long time, my brother still asked me to serve tea."

"That's it?" Cen Sanniang thought, this is too simple, right?
Du Yanwan cleared her throat, stood up and said, "Every time I see the uncles in the second room leaving angrily. My brother stood at the door to see me off, and shouted, 'My nephew has benefited a lot, and my nephew will listen to some of you tomorrow." Uncle taught!'"

She bowed Du Yansui to the end, raised her hands and shouted vividly.It made Cen Sanniang and the maids waiting in the room all laugh.

Du Yansui's left ear went in and out of his right ear, and his attitude was still respectful.The uncles in Erfang couldn't beat him except for talking.Of course, it can only be defeated.

So this time the uncles of the second room did not show up, and instead asked their own daughter-in-law to come to Cen Sanniang.

Since I have all experienced failures, it's no big deal to bump my nose here.Cen Sanniang thought about it, and said confidently to Du Yanwan: "Yanwan, it's inconvenient for you to come forward in this matter. Just remember to keep your righteousness and don't let anyone scratch your grandmother. I have a killer skill!"

Du Yanwan thought to herself, you are two years younger than me.

"Okay, okay, go back quickly. Close the door and wait for my good news!" Cen Sanniang urged her to leave.

"Sister-in-law, if you can't resist anymore, just call a girl to call me!" Du Yanwan urged nervously.

"understood."

Maybe it was because Cen Sanniang's expression was too calm, Du Yanwan left in doubt.

As soon as she left, Cen Sanniang murmured, "It would be great if I could really drive her out with a whip and a stick. The Duke of Fu still lacks force?"

Ah Qiu was a little worried: "Young Madam, can the solution we think of work?"

Cen Sanniang pouted her lips: "It's not okay to deal with others, but it's definitely no problem to deal with the uncle and aunt of the second room. Go ahead and tell everyone to get ready."

Seeing that the time was approaching, Cen Sanniang took Xia Chu to the meeting hall.

Du Xifu recalled the past when the Second Household came to borrow the yard: "...there are several masters who came here, but Young Master Sun is not here, and if the old lady gets sick, she will naturally be out. There are only a few wives and young wives. I can't, the whole family is sick, right?"

Young Master Sun of the Duke's Mansion got married and opened the middle door wide, which meant that he would no longer close the door to thank guests.The second room is next door, and you can walk over there in a few steps.

There is always a good time when you are sick.There are many grandchildren in the second house, and the house can be borrowed for decades.

Cen Sanniang nodded: "Illness is not a cure for the root cause."

Du Xifu's eyes became a little eager: "Young Madam, have you thought of a good solution?"

Cen Sanniang took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Du, I remember I asked you last time. Can the vacant yard of our house be rented out? I mean rent it to someone other than the second bedroom?"

Du Xifu smiled bitterly, and what he said surprised Cen Sanniang: "Actually, when the old Duke was here, the mansion bestowed by the emperor was not this one..."

After the Du brothers separated their families, the third room was assigned to the present Duke's Mansion.It is also a house with five entrances.But the homestead area is not as large as it is now.

Later, when he got the title of title, he was given a mansion according to the system.

The old man of Dafang was the patriarch when he was alive.He wished that the Duke's Mansion would be built in Pingkangfang.The three families of the first branch all live together. Speaking of Du Guogong's mansion in Pingkangfang, the second house of the eldest family also gained glory and increased their status.The ancestral hall was opened and the elders of the clan were invited to witness, and all the ancestral property in the back was allocated to Sanfang Jianguo Gongfu.The old man is used to living at home, and his left and right are brothers.So he resigned from the mansion rewarded by the court and rebuilt the Duke's Mansion here.

At that time, the second-bedroom old man had only one son and one daughter.

"I understand. One day the Duke's Mansion really abolishes the establishment, someone in the clan will jump out and bring up the matter of the year, and want to take back the homestead that was allocated to Sanfang, right?"

Du Xifu said indignantly: "When the old man was still there, the young master gave up the princess. Didn't they get rich? When the Duke's mansion was defeated, they left it clean. The homestead was distributed to the third room. It’s not for nothing, it’s also given money. If you want to take over the homestead, the interest on the land you bought back then can be used to buy a third house.”
