Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 17
Wang's face flushed, and she only said vaguely: "Where did the mother-in-law think, and the daughter-in-law also thinks the same way, she definitely doesn't mean that..."

At this point, Xiao Huaisu finally understood.

Mrs. Wang is planning for her own daughter, but Du Yanyun has made every effort to plan, even if she has a false age, she is only a ten-year-old girl, so she will be married at such a young age?
Even Du Boyan realized that something was wrong and walked away quietly, so as not to embarrass Wang.

The whole team set off again, and the car was silent for a while.

After a long while, Mrs. Du cleared her throat and said to Wang: "I'm not talking about you, any mother doesn't care about her children's marriage. Sister Yun will be ten years old after the new year, but you also know that our family said The relatives come in order, the second child's family is still staying in Fujian, and they will not be able to return to Beijing to appeal for another two years. At that time, Sister Ping and Sister Yun will talk about marriage together, and the good people in Bianjing will return to Beijing. It’s not up to us to choose, so don’t mess yourself up first!”

Wang was a little ashamed, and hurriedly lowered her head to admit her mistake, "It's my daughter-in-law who was reckless. I saw the fifth young master of the Gu family when he came to our house to play, and I thought that the eldest son was older and more stable, so I couldn't help but..." At this point, I was embarrassed He closed his voice a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, let's not talk about it!"

Mrs. Du waved her hand, and the conversation turned and she talked about her two grandchildren, "Brother Zhao is a sensible person, and he devotes all his attention to his studies, but Brother Yi is very playful and smart, so what can you do?" If it wasn't for the fourth brother holding him back, I'm afraid it would be even more..." After finishing speaking, he gave Wang a deep look, "Although our son of the Du family wants to be famous before we can talk about marriage, Brother Keyi You look like this, you mother should pay more attention to it!"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Daughter-in-law went back and talked to Brother Yi carefully, and she was busy with the matter at hand, so she entrusted the two children to the fourth brother. It was the daughter-in-law who was negligent."

"Bowen is the same." Now that the words have come to this point, Mrs. Du simply educated her daughter-in-law, "You husband and wife are busy in your own way, although the fourth child has a job in the Hanlin Courtyard and can help you take care of the children. homework, but if your own children don’t care about it, it’s unjustifiable!”

Mrs. Du's words made Mrs. Wang very ashamed, and she responded again and again.

Xiao Huaisu also felt a little restless when he heard it, and simply nestled in Chunliu's arms and pretended to be asleep. Both of them lowered their sense of existence in a very tacit understanding.

Originally, he didn't really want to sleep, but Xiao Huaisu went to meet Zhou Gong very quickly amidst the bumping of the carriage, and when he woke up again, a group of people had already arrived at the posthouse.

But this time the lodging was not so smooth, Jing Guogong's Gu's family obviously arrived before them and occupied a few of the better rooms.

Du Boyan also frowned slightly when he heard the news, and came to Mrs. Du for instructions, "There are still a few wing rooms, but they are a little bit out of the way in the backyard. There are no earth dragons and warm kangs, and even if the brazier is lit, there are still some rooms." cold!"

Mrs. Du took a look at Xiao Huaisu and fell silent for a while.

Mrs. Wang thought about it, and said, "Fourth brother, see if you can discuss it with the Gu family, as long as you give us two rooms to make do with and stay for one night. Can't stop!"

Du Boyan pondered and said: "Sister-in-law is right, it's not that we don't have friendship with the Gu family, so I'll go up and talk about it, mother, wait a moment!"

Only then did Xiao Huaisu poke out his head in a daze, looked around and took the initiative to stick to Mrs. Du, and whispered in the old man's ear: "Grandmother, could it be that group of people who galloped by today? The son of Duke Jing ?”

"You little brat!"

Mrs. Du embraced Xiao Huaisu in her arms, and nodded her nose, "I thought you had fallen asleep, but you still haven't heard anything!" She glanced at Mrs. Wang, and said in a low voice, "Don't Let your eldest aunt know!"

"Well, Huai Su saves it."

Xiao Huaisu smiled shyly, and didn't dare to look at Mrs. Wang, so she burrowed into Mrs. Du's arms again.

Wang didn't feel anything wrong, her attitude was still calm.

It can be seen from here that Mrs. Wang's demeanor is good, she really came from a big family, even if she is occasionally lectured by her mother-in-law, but in a blink of an eye she is the head of the house with a pleasant demeanor, shrewd, capable, and generous!
Xiao Huaisu admires Wang very much from the bottom of his heart. If she can have this kind of city and depth in the future, although she can't say that she can live a smooth life everywhere, at least she is a role that cannot be ignored. If others have scruples, they will naturally Give due respect.

Don't look at Mrs. Du talking about Wang Shi, but she didn't save her face too much, and every word was for their benefit. Wang Shi understood, so she sincerely accepted the teaching!

Du Boyan went back and forth, bringing back good news.

After all, the son of Jing Guogong is still reasonable, knowing that they are members of the Du family, he immediately let out three wing rooms without saying a word, and only kept two for himself. They simply have no female relatives in their line of work, and the men live together to make up for it It's over.

This seemed to be expected by Mrs. Wang. Although she had a smile on her face, there was no surprise in her eyes.

Du Boyan said again: "Your Majesty, you are too polite, and said that after we settle down, we will come to visit mother in person!"

Mrs. Du, however, was a little emotional, "The great family has such a background, no matter how prominent the family is, the etiquette and rules are completely in place, and people can't find any mistakes."

Mrs. Wang said with a smile from the side: "I heard people say that the Gu family's family style is strict before. Even if there is a lady in the family, I haven't seen the children below act frivolously. Although the fifth young master of the Gu family is more active and lively, when we are guests It's also well-behaved, the son of the world is naturally more..."

Mrs. Du hummed and didn't say any more.

Xiao Huaisu was even more curious. A noble son who is polite and knows how to give in is rare after all, but it is different from the dude she imagined. Anyway, she will see it later. I believe she has not deliberately avoided it at her three-year-old age. necessary.

The maids quickly tidied up the wing room, changed into the quilts they brought, lit the earth dragon and lit the brazier, and the room was as warm as spring for a while.

Even if Xiao Huaisu was wrapped into a rice dumpling on the carriage, she had also untied her big padded jacket and put on a light jacket, and Chunliu put on two baotou for her. Apart from her face being a little thinner, she was still a beautiful woman. Snow cute little girl.

After the group packed up and had their dinner, Duke Jing's son entered the house under the leadership of Du Boyan.

Xiao Huaisu stood beside Mrs. Du, and was gently held by her shoulders, but his eyes flashed with curiosity, and his eyes were cast on Jing Guogong's son as soon as he stepped through the threshold.

This is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with a tall body and high spirits, wearing a round-neck robe embroidered with dark gold patterns in indigo blue, his black hair is tied on the top of his head by a jade crown, leaving only two strands hanging by his ears. With a smile on his lips and a generous demeanor, he stepped forward and saluted Mrs. Du.
