Chapter 198: Li Dai Taozhuang (15)
More than ten days ago, since the day Yongxingfang left home in a hurry, Mu Qing would never have thought that in just ten days, when she saw the solid and thick door of Yongxingfang from afar again, she actually added two sons for nothing.
At this moment, she was sitting in the green cloth carriage, her head resting on the thick and familiar shoulders beside her, staring at the green tent above her head in a daze, as if there were too many voices talking in her head, but she couldn't hear a single sentence clearly. These days, every word that enters her eyes and ears has become a muffled thunder, and the muffled is all blocked in her heart.
Seeing Du Chuke that day, she knew why Yang Xiuniang said that he was inseparable, but seeing that his figure should be similar to Du Ruhui, he was worn to the point that he was really escaping death, and she glanced at her a few times, and then she asked Yang Xiuniang to take out a letter from the shadows.
Du Ruhan's face turned from white to blue when he read the letter, his fingers pinching the paper became tighter and tighter, and the masseter muscles on both sides of his cheeks showed that he was biting his back molars fiercely at the moment. ”
This was the first time in more than ten years that Mu Qing had heard him scolding with his own ears, and his anger shattered his usual gentle and jade-like bearing. Mu Qing picked up the letter that he had abandoned underground, and read it silently, and his astonishment and dizziness came to his mind together.
Du Dalang was actually killed by Du Yan at the instigation of Wang Shichong, and Du Sanlang was also imprisoned by him for half a year, tortured into the current appearance, all of which originated from the hatred between Du Yan and Du Ruhan's uncle and nephew in the old days of wives and concubines. The letter was written by Du Yan to Du Ruhui, and the words were ruthless and harsh, as if facing a provocation without the slightest fear.
The loss of humanity and the cruelty of relatives are all for a breath that has not been swallowed for many years. Mu Qing read the letter again in disbelief, and couldn't help but feel guilty in her indignation, after all, this matter started by her, she thought that things had changed, but she never thought that she was waiting for her here.
The shock brought to her by the letter has not yet been completely dissipated, and the night before the burial, Du Ruhui's decision made her even more jaw-dropping.
"The elder brother and his wife are now gone, and although the children next to him are concubines, they still have a mother to rely on, but the pair of sisters-in-law have no father or mother to rely on, even the grandfather can no longer be relied on. I thought...... It's better to teach us to take us back to the house and raise it under your knees to comfort the soul of our brother, and in the future our Shiro will have two more brothers. ”
Mu Qing was already ashamed in his heart, and nodded without hesitation, "It should be so." ”
Du Ruhui did not express his feelings because of her cheerfulness, but became more and more hesitant, looked at Shiro who was sleeping on the bed and was cute and cute, and after a while, he turned to Mu Qing and stared at her eyes very seriously, "Mu Qing, this is one case, and there is another case, I am about to wronged you." ”
"How can you and I still say this?" She tugged at the corners of her lips slightly.
"My brother's death is all affected by me, although I have the heart to repay it, but his house has been scattered, Ah Gou and Ah Ho are both under my knees, and they are older than Shiro, in the future, if I get the Huai ribbon, Ah Gou will inherit the official title."
He said word by word, clearly and decisively, Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and went over what he said in his mind again, before he woke up, even if she never cared about the wealth of the official lord, she couldn't decide the way he wanted to do in the future for Shiro, and at this moment, it seems that the way that Shiro is very likely to do in the future has been extended under the feet of others.
Daddy and Mother owed, but asked him to pay it back, Mu Qing's heart was full of bitterness, as a mother, she felt very wronged for her child, this was her fault, she couldn't say anything, she had to bury her face in Du Ruhui's chest, hide the sadness on her face, and said softly: "Hereditary replacement, inheritance and glory, these may not be very proud things, so there is nothing wronged or wronged, just be worthy of others." ”
The next day, his father and brother were buried, and Du Wei and Du He gave heirs to Du Ruhui and Mu Qing in front of the clansmen, and since then she has added two sudden sons.
……
"Mu Qing, it's me who can't stand you." Finally a voice broke through all the noise in her head, sighing leisurely in her ear, calling her wandering gaze back from the green tent above her head. "I thought that after leveling Liu Wuzhou this time, most of the world has been decided, and I should also handle the marriage ceremony that I owe you well, and seriously include your name in the register, but what I thought was not as fast as variables......"
Mu Qing sat up straight, "The filial piety ceremony of the twenty-seventh month should always be kept, I have to wait for ten years, why not wait for another three or two years, am I still afraid that you will run away?" ”
Du Ruhui held her cold fingertips into his palm, looked at her carefully for a moment, and slowly pulled the corners of his lips, "Can I run away?" Besides, didn't you never run, didn't you still teach your hind feet and chase after you? ”
This is the first time he has shown a smile in the past half a month, although it is subtle and difficult to check, it is a lot of relief in her heart, when he spoke, Mu Qing's gaze carefully brushed his slightly clear and tired face, and finally stayed on one side of the sideburns, there were two piercing white hairs, which were mixed with black hair, which had never been found before, and it should have been added these days. Calculated that he is now thirty-five, and in his prime, he has already shown gray hair, which makes her heart very tight.
The house of Yongxingfang is spacious, and because Mu Qingsu likes to be quiet, there are not many domestic servants, and now two and a half children are added, and another remote courtyard is placed in a remote courtyard, and it is inevitable that a few more family members will enter. Du Wei and Du He have changed their words to call Du Ruhui "father", but he took out a few points of father's money, especially before the two brothers were admitted to the hospital, solemnly affirmed the family style and family rules, and did not allow Mu Qing to put a maid for the two of them, only with a small servant to accompany him, and three servants, only for daily sprinkling and cleaning, not for personal service.
There is a gentleman at home who teaches Fu Yanyan, which is a good one, so there is no need to invite another gentleman, Mu Qing added him an extra honorarium, and even taught Du Wei Duhe together, but he taught different books, counting on Shiro to enlighten and teach at home together.
In this way, the Du Mansion of Yongxingfang is no longer as quiet and silent as before, and it is becoming more and more the same as other portals in the Fang, and those pairs of eyes staring at this house day and night can not see any difference: the male owner of the fifth or sixth rank should be every day, and the value will be scattered in the afternoon; The talented hostess takes care of the housework every day, guards the schoolwork of several children, and flips a few pages of books; Occasionally, there are friends in Dongshi, acquaintances with officials, and Duling relatives come to visit, just like the days of ordinary officials in Chang'an.
Those who look at these unchanging trivialities day by day are inevitably bored, and it is common to relax for a few days, and those who are here can not always take these chicken bits and pieces to return.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year's Festival has passed, and the gardener in Dufu, who has not shown up for a long time, began to enter the mansion every now and then to take care of the flowers and plants. Mo said that those eyes in the dark had not been noticed, even Mu Qing had not noticed it until several days. It is said that she has always been sensitive, and the fact that there are many people in the house who often come and go only after a few days is the result of another tricky matter in the house.
In the middle of the New Year, Mr. returned to his hometown, and the children had a full fifteen days of relaxation, and Mu Qingyuan also felt that the children did not have to study hard every day.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the little maid around Du Gou came to the main courtyard to report, only saying that Fu Yanyan and Du He were fighting, and the family couldn't hold it back, and they didn't dare to move, so they invited the lady to persuade them. Mu Qing expected that there would be children messing around, and she didn't feel at ease for a while, and when she and Ah Liu leisurely transferred to the side hospital, they were firmly frightened by the situation in front of them.
Three or four small guys walked around in the side courtyard, some shouted "Ayan", some shouted "Erlang", and when Mu Qing stepped in, he saw Fu Yanyan's small palm slashing downward. Although Fu Tanyan is three years younger than Du He, he has been practicing martial arts since he knew how to walk the aisle, and how can he be compared to the Du family brothers who grew up in the high-ranking family servant maid and servant, seeing that it was about to fall to the back of Du He's neck, Du Gou didn't know where to jump out of it, and blocked a palm for his younger brother, but in order to stabilize his body, he took Du He to roll backwards and fell to the ground together.
"Ayan!" Aliu screamed in shock. This sound was not enough to stop the first palm, but it stopped the second palm that he had raised in mid-air.
There was already a small guy on the side who urgently called "Da Lang, Erlang", and stepped forward to help the two Du Gou brothers up.
"You are all good at it now, and the words of the brothers and friends who were trained by the head of the father, turned around and forgot them completely? I don't care who is right or wrong in today's affairs, if I want to tell me, everyone is at fault, and no one can stay out of it. Mu Qing didn't ask what was going on, he glanced at the three people who were fighting in a circle, and at this moment they all stood silently in front of her with their hands down, and finally stopped at Du Gou, "Ah Gou, as the eldest brother, the younger brothers are messing around, you naturally can't get out of it, don't say how well you are taught by ordinary restraints, just say that your father gave you hopes, but you failed to live up?" ”
Du Wei stared at her for a while, his eyes full of disbelief and disdain. Mu Qingquan didn't see it, so he went on and said, "Ayan, copy Mencius's 'Five Lun and Ten Teachings' twenty times. Ah He, with the title of "Brothers, Friends and Brothers" in the "Five Lun and Ten Teachings", discusses one article, regardless of whether it is neat or not, and focuses on the meaning. ”
Fu Yanyan touched a slightly curly dark brown messy hair, and looked at Ah Liu a little blankly, Ah Liu was ruthless, and deliberately turned his head away from him. Du He also turned his head to look at the eldest brother at a loss, he was young, and his confusion and unwillingness were all written on his face.
"Ah ......" Mu Qing looked at him thoughtfully for a while, "If I give you a heavy punishment, can you be convinced?" ”
Du Wei bit his lower lip and said coldly: "Everyone in the courtyard can prove that it is Ayan who disrespects his brother, and his mother also saw him punching and beating people with her own eyes, and when he was punished, he didn't care about the reason, but he was punished the lightest, so no matter the reason, it was indiscriminate and unacceptable." ”
Mu Qing didn't laugh angrily, turned his head and raised his chin towards him, "That's why I said that it was you, the eldest brother, don't you really want me to understand?" ”
Du Wei was stunned for a moment, his face fell in an instant, and he hurriedly dodged Mu Qing's slightly sharp gaze, raised his hand and bowed, "The mother is very good at teaching, and the son knows that he is wrong." ”
"You were a smart child, and since you know that you are wrong, this punishment ......" Mu Qing took two steps forward and helped him up with the body he had been bowing, and suddenly realized that this face was actually like Zheng Guanying, who had already fled to the outside of the gate, not only the image, but also the appearance of seven or eight points, this style of behavior is the same. In an instant, she seemed to return to that time, and she didn't feel lost.
"The son deserves to be punished." Du Wei's rough voice as a teenager woke her up.
Mu Qing stabilized his mind and took a deep breath, "Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", I think you have already learned it when you were enlightened, and from today's situation, you have probably learned too shallowly, or you have not learned its essence. Among them, the article "Water Goodness" is particularly important, and you will take "goodness is like water, water benefits all things without fighting" as the title, and the article should not be gorgeous, high-sounding words, and profound. ”
At that moment, the three of them were punished, and Mu Qing dispersed everyone, and returned to the main courtyard with Ah Liu.
After entering the main house and seeing that there was no one left and right, Ah Liu said crampedly: "I see, it's better to separate Ah Yan from Da Lang Erlang to study." Ayan, he is stubborn and strong, I have been taught again and again, and I can't guarantee that I will do it again and again. ”
"Ayan is strong, but he is also a sincere child, I have watched him grow up since I was a child, and his upbringing was mostly given by Keming, I can't be wrong." Mu Qing sat down on the low bed, stretched his legs, and leaned on a brocade cushion casually, "I can understand today's matter, although Ayan moved his hand, it was not him. ”
Aliu let out an "ah" and leaned forward in surprise.
"It was probably Ah Gou who instigated Ah He to do something, or say something, deliberately annoying Ah Yan. As soon as I entered the side hospital, we just saw Ayan beating people, and he stepped forward to protect Ahe at the right time. We are not in a hurry, before we get to the courtyard, he has so many opportunities to persuade the rack, the subordinates are hindering their identities, they can't be persuaded, he can always persuade him, why do you have to wait for us to arrive, and the appearance of the eldest brother appears under our noses? ”
Mu Qing snorted lightly, and continued: "I punished him with "Water Goodness", and he knew that he taught me to see through his secret calculations, so he didn't dare to contradict him again. Others taught him to be blinded, and he couldn't see through his ideas and thoughts, so couldn't I see through it either? At a young age, you have learned to play tricks, and when you are older, if you are a little skewed......" She gasped, frowned and shook her head, her voice weakening, as if it were for herself...... If he is not ruthlessly restrained, he will inherit the lintel in the future, and Keming's clean reputation will be ruined in his hands. ”R1152
