Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 12
The wise are dead long ago.

Mama Wu went to the village to be raised, but she wouldn't dare to let her go in that way!
Mrs. Wang's actions were really neat. While chatting with Mrs. Xiao on one side, she did not let go of counting Du Boshu's dowry on the other side, and even took advantage of Mrs. Xiao's several visits to list out the missing and broken items. Anyway, I couldn't take it away, and I discounted it together with the whole set of huanghuali wood furniture that Du Boshu bought when she got married.

Mrs. Xiao paid for the compensation in pain, and at the same time smiled and socialized, feeling really depressed for a while.

But this matter is a foregone conclusion, and I can only hope that in the future, the Gaoyi county master will remember this love and find a job for the men of their Xiao family, which is not in vain for her to spend so much effort.

Mrs. Du took advantage of this period of time to bring her youngest son, Du Boyan, to buy and sell a lot of things in the land of Lanling, basically all of them are shared by young girls. The old man is also afraid that Xiao Huaisu will not be able to adapt to Bianjing for a while. The sights and objects from here are bought according to the needs, which also shows the concern and love for her.

It's already the twelfth lunar month, and seeing the battle of the Du family, I'm afraid they will have to rush back to Bianjing for the New Year after finishing their affairs here.

Mrs. Xiao was thinking in her heart that she would start to arrange the marriage between Xiao Yihai and the Gaoyi county magistrate once the Du family left. Just get by.

Mrs. Du finally decided to leave for Bianjing on the ninth day of December.

It was rare to see the sun two days before leaving, and the warm sun in winter is especially rare.

Xiao Huaisu crawled out of the bed early, and the continuous rain has not stopped for several days. She felt that she was getting moldy, so she just took this opportunity to go out to bask in the sun.

The Du family really doted on her. Except that Mrs. Wang was arranging the trip and didn't accompany her, Mrs. Du's mother and son were both there, and they even asked the maid to carry the table and chairs in the yard. There were snacks and fruits on the table, including bright yellow oranges. , red winter jujube, also dotted with a few limes, all kinds of colors mixed together, it looks especially gratifying.

Du Boyan hugged Xiao Huaisu in his arms, and she still twitched uncomfortably, so happy that Du Boyan couldn't help but smile, "Mother, look at this girl, she's even shy!"

Mrs. Xiao pursed her lips and smiled, but her eyes were full of love, "Huai Su's mother left early, and my father... I'm afraid he didn't get close to her very much, so he has some sympathy for you, the fourth uncle. Well, the whole room is pampering her, and gradually she will not be afraid of life."

Xiao Huaisu moved his nose, looked at Du Boyan secretly with a blushing face, but nodded seriously to Mrs. Du, "Grandmother is right, you and my aunt love to hug me, but now it's a different person... ...It's always a bit uncomfortable..."

"You girl!"

Du Boyan gently rubbed Xiao Huaisu's forehead hair, his eyes couldn't hide his love, "Your third cousin is less than a year older than you, and now she is also... and has no mother, you two will work hard in the future." Companion, uncle is in pain!"

Mrs. Du couldn't help but glanced at her youngest son, and sighed softly, "Bo Yan, the Liu family has been gone for these years, and you haven't thought about finding another one? Isn't the Liu family still thinking of marrying a daughter? If Sister Yu My aunt has entered Du's house, and I will treat her well in the future..."

Du Boyan's expression froze, and he slowly closed the corners of his lips, "Mother, don't say this in front of the child, Sister Yu is still so young, wait until she is older."

"You!"

Mrs. Du sighed again, glanced at Xiao Huaisu, seeing that her attention was not on the two of them at all, she just shook her head regretfully.

Xiao Huaisu naturally listened to the conversation between the two, she reached out and took a winter jujube, and bit it into her mouth with a "snap bang", it was crunchy and sweet, and the taste was really good!

Du Boyan's marriage problem is not her concern, but the men in the Du family are considered long-term lovers, and their family traditions are upright. There is no one who takes concubines, and all the children are descendants. Think about it when you grow up in such an environment All full of positive energy.

The atmosphere was a little gloomy for a while.

Xiao Huaisu narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the two of them, smiled and grabbed a few red dates and stuffed them into Mrs. Du's arms, "Grandmother eats it, it's so sweet!"

Only then did Mrs. Du come back to her senses, she took a bite of the red dates with a smile, looked at Xiao Huaisu's expectant eyes, she couldn't help nodding her head in approval and said: "It's really sweet, we Huai Su are so good, we don't forget to give something good Grandmother!"

Du Boyan snorted pretending to be angry, "Did Huai Su forget uncle?"

Xiao Huaisu giggled, rolled his eyes, and brought a lime to Du Boyan, "Fourth Uncle, eat this!"

"You girl!"

Du Boyan shook his head and laughed, I dare say that this girl can look at the dishes at a young age, give the sweet ones to my grandmother, and give the sour ones to my fourth uncle, she really has a wink.

Mrs. Du also laughed, the dullness just now was swept away instantly, she took Xiao Huaisu's hand, and the little girl slid down Du Boyan's legs, leaning into the arms of her grandmother, let her He ran down the black hair from the back of his head to his shoulders.

"This child is so sweet!" Mrs. Du laughed and said, "It's really grandma's pistachio!"

"What pistachios?!"

Wang's voice turned from far to near, Xiao Huaisu turned his head to look, and a smiling woman was walking on the all-colored bluestone path, who else could it be if it was not Wang?

"Talk about Huai Su!" Mrs. Du nodded affectionately on Xiao Huaisu's nose.

Xiao Huaisu hurriedly raised her head and called Wang Shi sweetly, "Auntie!"

Mrs. Wang nodded and smiled at Xiao Huaisu, then patted her head lovingly, then nodded slightly at Du Boyan, "The fourth brother is here too!"

Du Boyan stood up and bowed to Mrs. Wang, saying: "These days my sister-in-law has worked so hard, and my brother didn't do much to help me, I'm really ashamed!"

"Come on, what is our uncle and sister-in-law talking about!"

Mrs. Wang gave Du Boyan a smile with a smile, sat aside generously, took the tea from Chunliu to moisten her throat, and then said: "You taught the homework of the two monkeys at home. If you say thank you, wouldn't sister-in-law want to thank you very much!"

Du Boyan is Yongning's Tanhua Lang for 12 years. Although he is usually silent and doesn't like to talk, he is very talented and knowledgeable. He is not close to outsiders, but he treats his family first-class.

"Sister-in-law's talk is far away," Du Bo said with a serious face, "It's my wish to be able to teach my two nephews. If my father and elder brother are not free, how can it be my turn to play the ax?" He couldn't help laughing at this point, " I was worried about Sister Yu when I came to Lanling this time, but it was Sister Yun who helped me take over the job, and my sister-in-law taught me well, Sister Yun is only nine years old and already has the demeanor of a big sister!"
