Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 155 Lu Ming Banquet

The conditions of Dong’s nephew’s family are not very good. His father is a plasterer. When he is rarely at home, his mother does housework alone and has to look after ten acres of land. There are two sons and one daughter in the family. Her nephew is the eldest. , has already passed the government examination, but has been unable to pass the college examination, and is still a child.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao was not very satisfied.

Dong said with a sneer, "My nephew is not a stubborn person. If he fails the exam next year, he will follow his father to build a house, and he will still have a lot of money every year."

This is a 17-year-old man who reads books all the time and doesn't know how his body is. Building a house for someone is a physical job. Mrs. Zhao thought for a while and said, "I'll mention it to my sister, and it's not easy to be a master."

Having said that, Mrs. Dong couldn't force her, so she talked with Du Xiaoyu about raising rabbits and then got up to leave.

In the evening, Zhao Dongzhi came to fish in their pond, and Mrs. Zhao told her about it.

As a result, Zhao Dongzhi shook his head like a rattle, repeatedly saying no.

Although the family background is not very good, but there is no need to look down on others, right?Mrs. Zhao said sternly, "Everyone pays attention to the right family. Although Xiaoying is one in a hundred, we can't climb to the top of the family. What kind of family are you looking for? Tell me carefully, so that Miss Wu will be wasted when you get it." effort."

Zhao Dongzhi put the net bag in his hand on the ground, "Of course he looks good, has a good character, a good family background, is good to us Xiaoying, and everything is good, what else can we ask for?"

The requirements are really high, perfect!

Mrs. Zhao spat and became more serious, "Tell me well, don't come here to fool people."

"Who says I'm fooling people?" Zhao Dongzhi pouted, and laughed again, "Well, in fact, I just hope to be similar to Wen Yuan, good-looking, able to study, and that's the end of it."

Mentioning this son, Zhao's face flashed with sadness, he patted Xiao Qingqiu's back lightly, and spoke after a while of silence, "Do you want a son-in-law who can test for fame?"

Zhao Dongzhi smiled, "That's right, what's the future of farming for a lifetime! Isn't your son-in-law also able to study? Can't I find someone like this? I don't want Xiaoying to be like me, living in a village all day long, with no future I don’t see the world, I hope she will be well-clothed and well-fed in the future, and it’s better to have a few people to take care of her!” After finishing speaking, she looked at Mrs. Zhao, “Xiaoyu will marry when she grows up, I don’t believe you don’t think so .”

Why rely on others?Du Xiaoyu curled her lips beside her, she can also live this kind of life herself!
Mrs. Zhao sighed, "I didn't think about it, they are just happy."

What happened to Du Huanghua moved her a lot. Like all mothers, she used to look forward to her daughter being beautiful and marrying a good family, but later she realized that everything is doomed and unpredictable, let alone the second daughter. She is still such a strong-minded person, she doesn't want to worry about these things any more, just let nature take its course.

Zhao Dongzhi was a little embarrassed, but quickly stepped forward to take Zhao's arm, and said coquettishly, "I forgot, Xiaoying is not as good at making money as Xiaoyu, you are different from me."

Now that she knew what she was thinking, Mrs. Zhao didn't say much, "Okay, I'll tell Sister Wu that if you want to find someone who can study, he must be a scholar, right?"

"You have to look good and have a good character!"

"Yes, yes." Mrs. Zhao pushed her, "Go get your fish."

Everyone in Zhao Dongzhi's family likes to eat fish. They often come to the pool here, and in a short while they caught two crucian carp, and greeted, "Sister, Xiaoyu, if you want to eat fish soup, come to my house at night."

Seeing that they answered, they went back happily.

Looking at her back, Mrs. Zhao felt a little headache, but she still mentioned the request to Aunt Wu, and Aunt Wu was really embarrassed.

This kind of scholar is rare in the village, and he has to be good-looking and good-natured, which is even rarer. If he is from the county, it is even more impossible for him to be willing to find a girl from the countryside.

As a result, the matter dragged on until Du Xian and his son came back, but they couldn't find a suitable one.

The family had a happy gathering, Mrs. Zhao and Du Huanghua prepared a table full of good dishes, Zhao Dongzhi's family also came, Du Xian and his wife Xiaobiesheng were newlyweds, the two had endless conversations, and Du Wenyuan discussed the content of the rural examination with Bai Yushi, They didn't go home until late at night.

In fact, the Guibang of the capital city came out a long time ago, and Du Wenyuan was on the list, ranking [-]th, but it was half a month after the news reached Feixian County.

For a while, the entrance of Du's house was as lively as a market, with people coming and going, and congratulatory congratulators in an endless stream. Those who came to give gifts, Du Xian's family greeted them and sent them off. They were so busy that they never stopped.

Then there was a banquet for all parties, which lasted for three days and three nights.

The county lord also held a deer-cry banquet, and invited several candidates from the county to gather with local gentry. Neither Zhang Zhuoyu nor Qin Tai passed the exam this time. I was comforted.

But after all, he is young, and he will have a chance in the future, and he will soon regain his strength.

As for Qin Tai, she didn't see it. Mrs. Dong came to their house to mention it once, saying that his son didn't perform well, and he would definitely succeed in the next exam.

Du Xiaoyu hated this person very much, with such a bad temper, he guessed that he must have lost his temper at home and was jealous of her second brother, otherwise, if he went to the exam together, generous people would definitely come to congratulate him, such as Zhang Zhuoyu, so he didn't take it seriously. Dong said what he said in his heart.

Whether he passed the exam has nothing to do with their family!

Just when everyone envied the Du family for having a Juren son, there was finally some movement on the Li family's side. No matter how bad the two sides were, Du Xian was always a member of the Du family, so Du Wenyuan was also the grandson of the Du family!
When Mrs. Li was about to do something to coerce Du Wenyuan to return to Du's house, a shocking news broke out in the village.

It turned out that Du Wenyuan was not the biological son of Du Xian and his wife, but was just fostered by their family!

The villagers were boiling again, and the door of Du Xian's house was even more lively, with people poking their heads every day, and whenever their family members walked on the road, someone would point and gossip behind their backs.

"Tsk tsk, it turns out that the son doesn't belong to their family. It's a waste of time to fetch water from the bamboo basket. Hey, I would have known that my basket of eggs would not have been sent there!"

"Yeah, I still want to take our daughter..."

"Don't dream, then Du Wenyuan's biological father is a high official in the capital, you have no way to curry favor!"

"Hey, then it's good for their family to raise children for others. After all, it has been raised for more than ten years, right? There is always affection, and there is always something to repay, isn't it?"

"Are there still fewer white-eyed wolves? Where will you remember the person who raised him when you go to the capital?"

"That's not necessarily the case. We'd better not offend their family."

Listening to all kinds of gossip, Du Xian's back began to hunch again, and he sighed.

"Father, don't care what they say, let's live our lives well! The second brother is gone, and the eldest sister, and me, as well as Fu Dan and Qing Qiu!"

Du Xian patted her head, "Why doesn't dad know, I just miss your second brother, he took me around in the capital to eat, drink and have fun, and didn't read much, I know he feels guilty too. Forget it, I can't Keep him." He stood up straight and smiled, "Xiaoyu, you are right, I still have you children, Wen Yuan should go to a better place, our status is very important to him. There will be no benefit in the future."

Hearing the last sentence, Du Xiaoyu couldn't help being heartbroken, but he still said, "As long as I figure it out, let's go back."

Du Wenyuan was leaving today. Hearing that his father was Minister of the Ministry of War, the Du family dared to stop him. They obediently took out the genealogy. It was Lin Song who crossed out Du Wenyuan's name on the genealogy.

A dark red carriage with pearl, jade and brocade curtains was parked at the door. The Lin family also knew the truth at this time, and Du Wenyuan's grandmother and aunt had come.

The two dressed up richly, with pearls and hairpins around their heads, but their faces were not pretty.

Du Xiaoyu also understood that when Du Wenyuan disappeared, the Lin family sent many people to look for it. How could the Zhao family not know that they lived in her natal family at that time?After hiding it for so many years, it is impossible for them to have no resentment.

It must be due to Du Wenyuan's face that there is no outbreak now.

Seeing this posture, Du Xian felt a little guilty, Du Wenyuan called him father, and helped him to sit on the big chair in the main room, where Mrs. Zhao was already sitting.

"Kowtow twice and go, your father is waiting in the capital." Du Wenyuan's aunt Lin said in a very cold tone.

This was impolite, but the old lady of the Lin family didn't stop her and didn't say a word.

Du Xian hurriedly stood up, "Hey, Wen Yuan, you can go now, you don't need to kowtow." After all, it was their family who made a mistake, and the Lin family was obviously full of anger, so why bother to make them unhappy.

After hearing this, Mrs. Lin chuckled, "It's true, but it's not the real parents. Our family has not yet..." Before finishing speaking, Lin Song reprimanded, "It's just you who talk too much and wait outside. go!"

She seemed to be extremely afraid of this big brother, and immediately shut up, but she gave Mrs. Zhao a hard look. She heard that this crazy woman was going to snatch her sister's son!

Du Xiaoyu stepped forward and took Du Xian's hand, told him to sit down, and said softly, "If the second brother doesn't say goodbye, he won't let it go, Dad, you just accept his gift."

Du Xian had no choice but to sit down again.

Du Wenyuan kowtowed three times to Du Xian and Mrs. Zhao.

"I will never forget the kindness of father and mother in nurturing me in my life." He said solemnly, although he was picked up, or even taken by force, but the strange thing is that he didn't have the slightest resentment in his heart.

Maybe it's because his biological mother is dead, and he is a bastard, so even if he was born in that family, his life would not be as simple and happy as he is now.

But if it is possible to change it, if his biological mother is not dead, it may be different.

Human emotions are always so complicated...

But no matter what, he will never forget this feeling, never will.
