Yutai Bi

Chapter 173
The head of the patriarch, Du Hansong, came forward with a smile and personally helped the old lady to sit on the head.The second old man naturally sat in the first place in the middle.

Everyone in the room sat down and served tea, and Mrs. Du could barely speak: "What wind brought you all here today?"

The second-bedroom old man snorted and said: "Of course I came to see off my grandniece. The Cui family wants our granddaughter of the Du family to go to the nunnery of the Kaiguohou's mansion to eat fast and chant scriptures. It is difficult for the Du family to send someone there in a carriage." Is it? What a woman knows!"

As he said that, he slammed his crutches down heavily.

Mrs. Du was so surprised that she lost her mind.

The patriarch said seriously: "Third Auntie, the ninth house of the Du family, although only two families from the direct branch came here today. But let the Cui family take a closer look, the Jingzhao Du family is not a small family."

Back then, when one son was beheaded and the other was demoted, the big house kept coming and going, but there was a sense of propriety.The second room is even more unavoidable.For the past ten years, the third house of Du's family has been supported by her, an old widow.Now... the sun is out in the west?Mrs. Du couldn't believe it.

She was in a turbulent mood, but she didn't want to take away the kindness of the eldest room and the second room, and called out: "Yan Wan, come and kowtow to your second grandfather, uncles and aunts."

With tears in her eyes, Du Yanwan knelt down and kowtowed meekly: "How can Yanwan be so kind to the elders?"

The second old lady's tone softened a bit: "...you must know that you are a Qingxiu by order. The daughter of Du Guogong's mansion, you must remember your identity, and don't embarrass the Du family!"

"Yes. Yanwan always remembers Second Grandpa's admonition." Du Yanwan was rare and gentle.

At this time, Cen Sanniang felt that the second old man was very cute.The contempt for taking advantage of second-bedroom mortgages has faded a lot.

The third room of the Du family was very friendly.Drinking tea and chatting, waiting for the Cui family to come.

Du Jingshu, who was standing behind the eldest lady, found an opportunity at this time, said to the eldest lady, and walked up to Cen Sanniang: "Sanniang, I'm sorry, I just came over to see you today. I, I..." After a few sounds, his face blushed and his eyes were filled with water vapor.

Cen Sanniang hurriedly dragged her to the corridor next to her, took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears and said, "Is it because the second room borrowed the yard? Your father is the head of the patriarch, and he was so entangled that he made the second room come to the country. If the government is looking for trouble, you will be ashamed to come to see me."

Du Jingshu's eyes were rounded, her eyelashes were wet, like feathers, she was extremely cute: "...you know all about it?" She stomped her feet as she spoke, "Brother Jiu must have told you. He came to ask me why I broke up with you, saying that you have few friends in the first place."

Cen Sanniang was taken aback, Du Yansui still meddling in this business?This man was really meticulous, and she was a little touched.

Du Jingshu looked at her, pouted and said, "Sanniang, don't you get angry with me, okay? Brother Ninth already told me. He said I'm not enough friends!"

Cen Sanniang burst into laughter, stretched out her finger and pointed at her forehead, and the knot in her heart was untied: "If you don't come to talk to me again today, I will really blame you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, reconciling as before.

Du Jingmei said: "Ninth Brother and Dad talked for a long time last night. Dad said this morning that Ninth Brother was right. The matter of Yan Wan is also a matter of the whole family. I went to find Second Grandpa overnight, and we came together today. "

Family...Cen Sanniang didn't feel anything in the past.Seeing that the entire Du family's direct branch came to give Yan Wan a boost today, I felt a lot of emotion.She remembered that the third son of the second room came to borrow the yard. Du Yansui once said that the trees wanted to be quiet but the wind never stopped, and the harem's turmoil and the court were full of undercurrents. These trivial matters should be dealt with as soon as possible.Perhaps in Du Yansui's heart, the entire Du family is a part of the rear.Only when the rear is stable can he have the energy to deal with the situation in court.

Around Chen Shi, the porter passed the news that someone from the Cui family had come.

All the Du family members in the main hall stopped discussing and sat and waited.

It was still the mother Zhang who came.He brought two women with him, and he rode in a carriage with green walls, but he didn't bring a single guard with him.

Looking at the open red lacquer gate of Du's house and the guards with swords standing on both sides, she felt a little apprehensive.Thinking of what Master Hou and his wife ordered, Mama Zhang took courage again.The emperor's decree, could it be that the Du family dare not make friends?She walked in with her mother-in-law.

"Wait." Du Xifu stopped her, and said with a half-smile, "But the Jianguohou's mansion came to pick up my girl?"

"Exactly." Mama Zhang puffed her chest out and replied reservedly.

Du Xifu glanced at the carriage, and waved his hand: "Hurry up!"

The two guards of the Du family stepped forward and urged the coachman to the side.

"Let me tell you, the emperor ordered your girl to enter the nunnery of the founding marquis's mansion to practice! If you dare to drive me away, you are against the order!" Mother Zhang said loudly.

Du Xifu glanced at her and said, "Why are you yelling so loudly? My master's carriage is about to come out, and the carriages of you slaves will naturally have to stand aside and wait! What's the hurry!"

He walked in with a flick of his sleeves.

"Let me tell you..." Zhang's mother chased Du Xifu to go in, but was stopped by the guard, "My family manager asked the girl to come out. You wait and go. Don't look at your identity, the main entrance of the Duke's Mansion Also you can go?"

Zhang's mother was so angry that her face became embarrassing, she gritted her teeth and wanted to wait until she picked up your girl back to the house, and then look at the old lady's methods.

After a quarter of an hour, a large group of people came out of it.

Mother Fang was shocked when she saw so many people.If you look closely, you can see that the men of Du's family are either in court clothes or ordinary clothes, and they are all very imposing.All the female family members are ordered to dress up, ranging from the seventh rank to the first rank, luxurious and graceful.The headed old lady is dressed in first-grade official clothes, which is extremely luxurious, who is it not Mrs. Du?
Fang's mother immediately lost her arrogance, and stepped forward to salute: "My maidservant, Mrs. Zhang, who is in charge of the Kaiguohou's mansion, has met Mrs. Du."

"Let's get up. Our Du family will send the girl to the Jianguohou's mansion today. You follow." Mrs. Du said.

The whole family sent Du Yanwan to the founding marquis' mansion?Mother Fang couldn't even close her mouth.

At this time, a row of carriages drove out of the side door.Mrs. Du took the Zhubi Huagai car first.Cen Sanniang and Du Yanwan took one, the other two were girls and women, and the third was luggage.The second room of the Du family's eldest room also boarded the carriage parked at the door.

The men rode their horses one after another and ordered the guards to escort them.

It wasn't until the team started that Zhang's mother, who was following the Du family's team, came back to her senses and murmured, "What is the Du family going to do?" With a groan, she lifted the curtain and said to the driver, "Hurry up, take the trail and grab the Du's house." The front of the team hurried back to the residence, Mrs. Hou is not prepared at all!"

Seeing that the Cui family's carriage entered the alley quickly, the Du family didn't stop it, and ostentatiously went to the Jianguohou's mansion.

Fortunately, the Du family had a lot of cars and horses, and Zhang's mother was sweating on her forehead, so she finally returned to the Jianguohou's mansion before the Du family arrived.

"What?" Marquis Cui and his wife stood up in shock.

"Good job! Today I want to let the Du family know what it means to be as deep as the sea once you enter the Houmen!" After Cui Houye said this, he and Mrs. Li hurried to the door.

Cui Mengdong's mourning hall has not been evacuated, and the whole house has not been seen.Cui Hou, his wife and two sons Leng Sensen stood at the door, wanting to see what tricks the Du family was playing.

After waiting for half an hour, Master Cui ran out of patience: "Where is the person?"

Mother Fang wiped her sweat and said, "There are more than a dozen carriages, hundreds of people, and the journey is slow."

During this half an hour, the anger of the founding marquis dissipated a bit, and he finally regained some composure: "Ji Dong, what do you think?"

When Mrs. Li heard this sentence, she couldn't help but glared: "Zhong Dong, what do you think of this?" After Da Lang left, Master Hou began to value the concubine, which made Mrs. Li extremely dissatisfied.

Cui Jidong said: "It's just to create momentum. When people come into our house, is it possible that the Du family can still visit the Jianguohou's mansion as the back garden of the Du family?"

Cui Zhongdong was pushed by his mother and said: "Okay, our family is not empty, guards, fuck you!"

Master Cui turned his head and reprimanded: "Shut up! If someone wants to act, you're already a showman! Just stay there and don't speak indiscriminately!"

Cui Zhongdong was stunned by the scolding, but he didn't dare to speak up, so he closed his mouth aggrieved.

Mrs. Li was displeased, and was about to speak, but saw Master Cui handing him a cold look: "Speak more good things later, so that the Du family can't find fault with our family, understand?"

With a breath stuck in Li Shi's chest, she turned around and walked in: "Say I'm sick! Zhong Dong, help your mother go back!"

Master Cui didn't stop her, instead of letting Li Shi keep her mouth shut, it's better to let her go back and lie down.With a sneer, he watched the brigade approaching at the entrance of the alley, and said, "Has the house been cleaned?"

"Father, don't worry. Mrs. Du wants to see it in person, but she can't be bothered." Cui Jidong replied.

"Okay, let's meet my father and see what the Du family is singing!" Master Cui Hou raised a smile on his face.

After a while, the carriages and horses of the Du family stopped at the gate of the Jianguohou's mansion.The girls and women helped Mrs. Du down.

"Old lady is well." Master Cui Hou smiled all over his face, and brought Cui Erlang forward to salute.

Mrs. Du also smiled, and said politely: "My granddaughter has to chatter about the Duke of Jianguo's mansion for a whole year, and I am deeply disturbed. After thinking about it, I think it's better to clarify some things with Master Hou face to face."

The gate was surrounded by people watching the excitement.Both Cui and Du's families are rich and noble, so many imperial wives gathered at the gate of Jianguohou's mansion, and the common people were excitedly waiting to watch the play.

Master Cui Hou said tactfully: "Miss Du came to our founder's mansion to clean up according to the order. This Marquis will follow the emperor's instructions and take good care of it. I don't know if the old lady has any doubts?"

Mrs. Du said with a smile: "Of course I believe that the Founding Marquis Mansion will not wrong my granddaughter. It's just that the Marquis Mansion has provided a place to clean up, and the Du family should take care of other things. If you want to come to the nunnery, there are also vegetarian dishes. In order not to disturb the Kaiguohou's mansion too much, the Du family has prepared a cook who is good at cooking Vegetarian dishes. In order to let the granddaughter recite scriptures and practice with peace of mind, the Du family also has four rough envoys and two women. The girl is at her disposal. I think the hut of the Jianguohou's mansion can accommodate these servants. There is another 1000 taels of silver, please help the Jianguohou's mansion to buy and set up the kitchen for everything you need..."
