Yutai Bi

Chapter 201 Freezing 3
Zou Xiongjie was also a little nervous, always feeling that Du Yansui was smiling and throwing knives at him.He made up his mind that no matter what today, he would lie down and be a little patient.

Du Yansui knew it was her grandmother's arrangement.But the girl got married, but he wasn't there.No matter how you look at Zou Xiongjie, no matter how you think he married Yan Wan, he is taking advantage of the fire.

Everyone raised their glasses.Member Zou drank happily, and Cen Zhibai never refused to come.Du Yansui quietly looked at the tea in Zou Xiongjie's hand.

Zou Xiongjie's mouth was bitter, and when he was married, he drank sweet soup made of distiller's grains.He went all out, and changed the bowl with a smile: "Since there is an exception, let's drink refreshingly!"

After drinking a bowl of wine, Zou Yuanwai opened his mouth in surprise. Is this Da Lang who never drinks in his family?
Du Yansui smiled, slapped Zou Xiongjie on the shoulder, and slapped him directly under the table.Then he went to help him embarrassingly: "For those who practice martial arts, there is no weight in their hands, brother-in-law, don't blame me!"

Zou Xiongjie pretended to be drunk, and giggled with his tongue out: "It's nothing... nothing!"

Du Yansui looked at him with extremely clear eyes: "Don't pretend to be drunk in front of me. I won't be relieved if I don't marry my sister while I'm not around."

Zou Xiongjie couldn't even laugh.

Du Yansui laughed again: "Okay, since I married Yan Wan, it's fine to treat her well. No, it's not a matter of slapping her."

"Yes, yes, that is." Zou Xiongjie secretly wiped his cold sweat, and finally passed the test.

Du Yansui held up his wine glass and respected Zou Yuanwai: "My wife caused you to burn such a precious flower to death. Isn't this a waste of money? I have long wanted to make amends to you."

One sentence touched Zou Yuanwai's heart: "You are welcome, General. I have nothing to lose, Da Lang will compensate me."

Zou Xiongjie stared in anger.

Du Yansui pulled Cen Zhibai and said in a low voice: "With such a shrewd father-in-law, the second cousin is probably going to be miserable, right?"

Cen Zhibai felt relieved, Du Yansui talked to him intimately, it seemed that he didn't know about his father's letter.If the bureaucracy really pushes his father to be the scapegoat, maybe Du Yansui can help.He also laughed in a low voice: "There are only two words outside the staff: no money!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Listening to the laughter coming from the other side of the screen, the female relatives also smiled slightly.

A meal is also very pleasant to eat.

After sending the guests away, I resigned from the old lady.Cen Sanniang lost her temper, and said to Du Yansui with a smile, "My mother will be buried in three days. You have to keep her filial piety, so I will go back first."

It made it impossible for Du Yansui to say that I did not keep the spirit.

Du Yansui reached out and grabbed her: "Yes, I plan to guard my mother for three days, you and me."

Cen Sanniang couldn't say the word "no" either, feeling as if she was shooting herself in the foot with a stone, and followed him to the mourning hall angrily.

Du Yan sent the girls away.

Cen Sanniang didn't stop her, and angrily knelt on the futon to burn paper for Mrs. Zhang.

Seeing her kneeling beside her, Du Yansui moved a futon and knelt beside her, throwing paper money into the copper basin while saying, "My mother loves me the most. That day Hei Qi came and said that after I left, She got dressed and went. I just cried."

Cen Sanniang felt sore when she thought of Mrs. Zhang's departure.

"Yan Wan is also married. As long as the Duke's Mansion is still alive, the Zou family will treat her well no matter what. Seeing Zou Dalang's low-key appearance, at least it is because of Yan Wan. I am relieved."

Cen Sanniang remained silent.

Du Yansui sighed softly again: "I have won the title, and my grandmother has nothing to worry about. Sooner or later, I will be reunited with my grandfather. You are the only one by my side. You still doubt me, what do you want me to do?"

Cen Sanniang raised her head and stared at him angrily: "Why do I doubt you? You are playing tricks..."

Before she finished speaking, Du Yansui reached out and pressed her mouth, looked at her steadily and said: "I just came back, I have time to talk to you in detail, so you just act like I'm sorry for you. "

That was also misled by you and the old lady.Cen Sanniang patted his hand away without saying a word.

Du Yansui put her head on her shoulder and closed her eyes: "My mother is watching. Don't push me away, she must like us to be good."

Shameless, this can also be used as an excuse.Cen Sanniang spat secretly in her heart, and her heart softened half again.

"I almost died. You wouldn't even look at my wounds."

Cen Sanniang couldn't help but glanced at him.

Du Yansui closed her eyes and pulled her hand to her chest: "Two arrows were shot in the shoulder. I didn't feel any pain at the time, but I was shivering when I took a breath afterwards. There are also several wounds on the chest."

Cen Sanniang stopped struggling.

"I can't move when I lay down. I was still in a coma when Danhua came. I just heard her talking about the past. How strict was the master when I was a child, what was it like to kill someone for the first time... The prince knows your boudoir name, I I don’t know. There is a swing in the prince’s study room, and there are two dolls, one is you and the other is him. I woke up so angry when I heard it... One day, I will go into his study and steal it .”

Cen Sanniang thought to herself, at that time King Teng forced her to say that she was terribly afraid of death, and she didn't say it on her own initiative.

"I promised you when I got married, what do you still doubt me about?" Du Yansui said dissatisfiedly, raising her head to look at her, "In front of mother, tell me, do I want to treat Danhua? If you have an ambiguous attitude, you don't want me?"

Cen Sanniang still didn't speak.

Du Yansui snorted and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't talk, can you let me do it?"

Cen Sanniang glared at him: "You promised me. If I don't want to, you will help me leave the Duke's mansion."

Du Yansui said solemnly: "My mother testified in heaven. Today I formally take back that promise."

Cen Sanniang held her breath, and said after a while, "You are a scoundrel."

With a bright smile on Du Yansui's face, he kowtowed to the coffin and said with a smile, "Mother, she is not angry with me anymore. Son, thank you for protecting me."

Seeing his rambunctious appearance, Cen Sanniang wanted to laugh, but tried not to.I don't know when the breath that I have been holding in my heart for a whole day has dissipated.

Du Yansui stretched out her hand and embraced her: "Ding You for three years, the emperor, Wu Zhaoyi and the prince are afraid that they would not let me really idle. However, compared to being in Qianniuwei, I can rest at least. Yi, when spring comes, let's go out for a walk. Don't disappoint your good name."

Cen Sanniang felt better and nodded in his arms.

In February, the cold spring is expected, and the wilderness in the suburbs of Beijing has been quietly covered with a layer of fluffy green.

On the official road, a group of guards surrounded a carriage and slowly moved towards Mount Li.

After Zhang's family was buried, the Duke of the country's corresponding Yongye land was allocated.It stands to reason that Du Yansui should go to the Ministry of Officials to select corresponding staff members and establish a corresponding office organization.The concierge, the office of the outer courtyard, the tent staff, the assistant officials, etc.There is a saying that the prime minister's concierge is the seventh-rank official.The concierge has no official rank, but the staff in the Duke's Mansion are all of rank.The clean-ups hired by the family may be released someday, and they can be the head of any county.

Du Yansui dragged on with the excuse of keeping his filial piety.Turning around, she explained to Cen Sanniang: "The emperor is wrestling with the old ministers. I don't know how many eyeliners need to be placed in to watch. Why don't we drag it first."

After Zhang's funeral, there was an endless stream of people visiting the house.Du Yansui simply reported to the old lady, and quietly left Chang'an under the pretext of inspecting her own farm.

Cen Sanniang did the math.For my dowry, I only bought two villages, which together only amounted to [-] mu of land.

The Guogong Mansion also has two Zhuangzi, with 150 acres of land, which is equivalent to [-] acres of land.

Du Yansui attacked the duke and enjoyed the duke's salary.The salary of General Qianniuwei was cancelled.In exchange for four hundred Qing land, equivalent to six thousand acres of land.Among them, there is a villa at the foot of Lishan Mountain with 1 mu of land.The combined income of the whole family is about [-] taels of silver a year.

In addition, although the Duke's Mansion did not elect officials and staff members, the quota was placed there, and the money was allocated accordingly.The emperor knew that the Du family had a weak foundation, so he asked the household department to transfer 5 taels directly.

Apart from the money for Yan Wan's dowry, as well as the money from the Brocade Pavilion and the money for selling down jackets, Cen Sanniang suddenly felt like she had gotten rich overnight, and repeatedly praised Du Yansui for not building a government office and eating the empty money.

The mansion still let Du Xifu be the head of the outer court, so Jing Chu and others don't have to dismiss and go home, and he will be the head of the guards.Re-established a 300-person personal guard, and practiced in the martial arts field of the Duke's Mansion every day.

Fang's mother stayed in the inner courtyard, and it was spring at the beginning of summer.There are Yin's mother and Danhua in Zhengqi hall.Although there are not many people, everything is well arranged.Cen Sanniang took Ah Qiu and Nuan Dong to travel with Du Yansui.

Mrs. Du is at home, and the two of them can't travel around the country, and they can't be too far from Chang'an.Du Yansui mentioned that at the foot of Lishan Mountain, a Bieyuan was rewarded.

Cen Sanniang couldn't help but think of Concubine Yang Guifei, who was bathed in hot spring water.At this time, although I don't know if there will be this beauty in the future, Lishan Mountain is beautiful, and she is full of yearning for hot springs, so she decides to visit her own hot spring resort.

After getting off the official road, Lishan Mountain is already in front of you.Cen Sanniang and Nuan Dong were sitting in the car, and they lifted the curtain to look out curiously.

Du Yansui urged the horse to walk beside the cart, and said with a smile, "It's still a long way to see the dead horse run over the mountain. We won't be able to reach Zhuangzi until evening."

Cen Sanniang was like a bird released from the cage, constantly asking: "You will take me up the mountain to hunt and teach me how to use arrows!"

Du Yansui was amazed: "Those with thin arms and legs, can you open a half crossbow? You can ride a horse and learn how to archery?"

Cen Sanniang was full of yearning for a chivalrous woman: "I'll be fine with a crossbow. It doesn't matter if I can't draw the bow. If one day I get an order, I won't be powerless."

After hearing this, Du Yansui fell into thinking and did not object.
