Chapter 640: The Way Home II

In front of the Du ancestral hall at the foot of Yangcui Mountain in Kishu, under the old trees around the square paved with bluestone, there are many people sitting around, among which the family sitting under the old locust tree closest to the ancestral hall is the most eye-catching.

Da Wan's head full of pearls and emerald brocade clothes, is the focus of everyone's attention, she is holding a celadon lotus tea cup, drinking slowly and elegantly, the second wife on the side is slightly cramped, the two sons sit behind her and the old lady with a pestle, and the second master Du is sitting next to the big horse golden knife.

It is said that he and his two sons should go to the ancestral hall, and I heard that when Du Yunqi's brothers came back this time, in addition to sending Du Yunqi's yuan to Tu Wei'an, they also had to record his newborn son in the ancestral tree.

I just didn't know that when I came to the ancestral hall early in the morning, the patriarch sent someone to stop the second old man and his son at the door, and the second master didn't dare to carry it with the patriarch, so he had to touch his nose and let people carry him and sit under the old locust tree.

The door of the ancestral hall was closed, and the people of the Du clan in the square turned their heads to look at it from time to time, some of them were well-informed, and they exchanged their heads from time to time, and as the sun gradually rose, there were more and more strange eyes cast on the mother and son of the Dawan family.

Second Master Du was uncomfortable, and when he couldn't help but want to get angry, he was stopped by his mother.

"You're stupid! These people can't wait to see you play, do you really want to obey them and show them a temper? Da Wanshi gently put the tea cup on the plum blossom table beside him, these things were all brought from home.

Da Wan looked at the people sitting under the other trees with disdain, her disdainful eyes from their dresses to the tables and chairs they were sitting on, she pinched Luo Pa to cover her mouth and nose, as if she smelled something bad, and the maids and servants waiting around her also frowned.

"Why does it stink so much!" Da Wan asked, looking at his two grandsons. Brother Du Yungao lowered his eyebrows, as if he hadn't heard his grandmother's question, and he didn't react at all, which made Da Wan very unhappy.

Just as he was about to turn his head and open fire on his daughter-in-law, the door of the ancestral hall opened, and the patriarchs and the elders either held the hands of their children and grandchildren, or slowly walked out of the ancestral hall on crutches. The patriarch stood at the door of the ancestral hall. read Du Xiang's letter of resignation, and then said to Da Wan's family, "You are now living in the property of our Du family." I heard that you ordered someone to pack your luggage early, but you are very self-aware. ”

The patriarch paused, and turned his head to look at Second Master Du, "Although the parents are not separated. But your father is in charge, and I am the patriarch. It's not easy to put a beak, but your father asked me to buy you a house in the city, and your father gave you this house. The patriarch beckoned to the second wife kindly, and the second wife hesitated to look at the mother-in-law and husband who were still stunned. I don't know if I want to step forward.

"Mother, the patriarch tells you to come over, and you go." Du Yunda whispered in her ear. "Befriending the patriarch is good for the future of the son and the eldest brother."

When the second wife heard this, she immediately stopped hesitating. Stepping forward, the patriarch took a wooden box from the hand of Chief Du, "You put it away, this is what your father-in-law gave you this room." ”

Lightly opened the wooden box, there were a lot of silver tickets and land deeds inside, and the second wife couldn't hide her surprise and looked up at the patriarch, "This, this is too much!" ”

"The old lady said that if the two young masters want to go to school and marry, they must be managed by the second wife." Mr. Du lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "The old lady said that I have wronged you." ”

The second wife's nose was slightly sour, and she responded with tears, and the chief manager turned to the patriarch again, "I also want to ask you and the elders to take care of our young master Sun!" ”

The patriarchs and elders bowed their hands, and the repeated voices were not a problem, and before the polite words were finished, they suddenly heard a terrible scream from under the old locust tree behind them.

I saw that Da Wan, who was originally sitting in the chair with a shelf, didn't know what was going on, and the whole person fell to the ground, she shook her head in disbelief, and roared loudly in her mouth, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, the old lady, the old lady promised his aunt that he would treat me well for the rest of his life, and he would never leave me!" She screamed hoarsely and slammed to the ground.

Da Wan, who has always paid attention to appearance and demeanor, did not see the bearing of Mrs. Decree at this time, and saw her sitting on the ground and sprinkling, her hair full of pearls and emeralds crumbling on the scattered bun, most of the clansmen knew why Da Wan was suspended, and the look at her was mostly disdainful.

If you can't tolerate the son of the previous man, then don't marry someone to be a stepmother!

Look at the son she taught, I don't know who she offended, she was sent back to her hometown to avoid trouble, her old lady didn't know how to restrain herself and be a low-key person, and she was also a high-minded and contemptuous person, and I heard that she offended many ladies in the city.

It's good now, I've been suspended! What a joy!

Du Yunxun and others have learned from the patriarch and other clansmen that Dawan's mother and son have done many angry things in their hometown, such as conniving at the subordinates to forcibly seize the clansmen, forcibly occupying people's clan fields, etc., everyone originally thought that this was Du Xiang's wife, so they forbearance in every way, and now they know that Dawan's family is really bold, and her mother's nephew actually colluded with the mountain bandits to murder Du Dashao's grandmother.

Even though the Da Wan clan kept shouting injustice, if her maiden nephew hadn't been instructed by her, how could he have the audacity to dare to do such a poisonous hand to the family of the court official?

Da Wan's kept shouting about wrongs and injustice, Du Yunxun helped his brother to walk up to her, and looked down at her condescendingly for a long time, "You dare to say that you didn't instruct people to murder my mother?" ”

"O conscience of heaven and earth! I'm holding your mother in the palm of my hand and pampering it! Who can be so good to her daughter-in-law! Spend a lot of money to buy high-quality medicinal herbs and give her tonics? Da Wan was very aggrieved and said that he was a good mother-in-law.

Du Yunxun sneered, turned his head and asked the second wife, "The second aunt is the grandmother's daughter-in-law, dare to ask the second aunt, when you were pregnant with the second brother and the fourth brother, did your grandmother give you a supplement?" ”

The second wife said in her heart, since she can ask this, it can be seen that she knows the joints! Although the mother-in-law is the biological mother of her husband, she has been divorced, and the economic power of the family has been handed over to her by Du Xiang, what does this mean? Thinking of what Chief Administrator Du had just said to the patriarch, his mind was already making a decision.

Immediately said loudly: "When I was pregnant with my brother, my mother-in-law didn't let me eat more, even if my mother's parents sent tonics, she didn't let me use more, saying that if I often took tonic when I was pregnant with a child, the child would be too big, and when I gave birth, it was easy to have a difficult birth." ”

Da Wan's heart was shattered when he heard this, and he yelled at his daughter-in-law. "You are talking nonsense, your mother's family is just a broken household, where did you get the ability to buy medicine and tonics!"

The second wife nodded, "Yes, my family is not as good as the Du family, but it is several times stronger than your family, otherwise why didn't you hire your niece and nephew to marry the second master." But they chose me? You have a private house to buy medicine and tonic for your sister-in-law. Why can't my mother's family take it? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone talked about it, and everyone maliciously sabotaged the stepson's marriage. The past of wanting to force her stepson to marry her niece and meddling in the marriage of her sister-in-law's daughter is still fresh in my memory, especially after Du Yunxun's brother returned to his hometown, many old people learned that Du Yunxun married Fan Anyang. I will tell my children and grandchildren about this past.

Du Xiang's brother and sister depend on each other, and the elder brother works hard to learn. The sister-in-law has a good family, and the history of the struggle of the brother and sister is the best teaching material for many old people to educate their children and grandchildren.

Now I know that the brother and sister have been released. The old people in the clan felt relieved.

At the entrance of the ancestral hall, the second wife was not afraid of Da Wan's murderous eyes, "The eldest brother and sister-in-law have not returned to Beijing yet." Old lady, you scolded us so badly, I didn't expect the good news from my sister-in-law. You seem to have changed as if you have changed your sister-in-law, you care about your sister-in-law, and your eyes are green when you look at it in the morning and evening! ”

At that time, the third wife was also pregnant with a child, but the treatment was very different from Mrs. Du's Xu, and the second and third wives cursed their mother-in-law's partiality in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, the person who was envied and jealous by them would be born prematurely before the melon was ripe, and almost died in one body.

At that time, they knew that they were afraid, and later, when her sister-in-law learned about it, she realized that her good mother-in-law was not easy and kind at all! Xu's sister-in-law didn't survive a year before she went, and the daughter she gave birth to with all her life died early before she was ten years old!

The second wife thought of all the things her mother-in-law had done, and she couldn't help but feel frightened in her heart, thinking of the future of her two sons, and couldn't help but think more, don't repay her own children for the sins that her mother-in-law has done! Thinking of this, she was even more sure to move closer to Du Xiang's side.

Dig up the bottom of the mother-in-law and spare no effort, the people of the Du clan originally had some sympathy for the Da Wan clan, no matter what, she always gave birth to the old Du family! After being divorced at such an age, isn't this asking her to die? felt that Du Xiang's divorce of his wife was a little unkind.

But after listening to what the second wife said, everyone looked at Da Wan's eyes and there was only disdain left.

An elder's wife said loudly, "Thanks to our grandfather's large belly, we can allow such poisonous women to show off their power in our old Du family for so many years." ”

"Du Xiang is loyal to the country and works for the emperor, it is inevitable that he will be negligent in family affairs, and now he finally has his hands free to clean up this poisonous woman!"

"O Patriarch! She is not the daughter-in-law of our Lao Du family anymore, and she can't live in the main house anymore! "Du Xiang is a grandson, his old house is called the main house by the clansmen, and the person who spoke lives near the main house, and he is bullied by the people of the Dawan clan on weekdays.

The patriarch reiterated again, Du Xiang is in charge, the three sons are separated, the old house in Beijing is given to the third, and the old house in the clan is naturally reserved for the eldest son, please ask the patriarch to help buy a house, it is for the second.

The second master was out of the situation from beginning to end, and when he heard this, his face was happy, and he beckoned to his wife, "What did my father give me, and bring it to me to see?" ”

"Master doesn't have to worry about it, the concubine will take care of the property that my father gave us in the second room." The second wife hugged the wooden box tightly and stood at the door of the ancestral hall to bless him.

The second master was furious when he heard this, "If you are told to bring it, what are you doing!" Slut! ”

He was used to scolding his wife and children, and he forgot that this was at the door of the ancestral hall, the patriarch and others frowned when they saw this, and Da Wan was still sitting on the ground and sprinkling, but no one paid attention to her, and the maids and servants who were waiting were at a loss to guard her.

Du Yunqi looked at the farce in front of him coldly, and after a long time, he turned his head to Du Yunxou and said, "Let's go!" ”

Seeing that they were leaving, Da Wanshi hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold them, but she was crying and screaming too much, and her head was still a little drowsy.

Du Yunxun turned his head and shouted to the maids who were gathered around: "What are you doing standing still, why don't you help your old lady up quickly, and send her back quickly!" Seeing the maids helping Da Wan up with all hands and feet, he reminded him coolly, "Don't send it to the wrong place, she is no longer from my Du family, and my old house will not let her enter." ”

Yes? The maids were stunned, where were they going to send the old lady?

The second lady spoke at the right time, "Hurry up, send the old lady to the second master's new house, no matter what, the old lady is the second master's biological mother after all, and we have to give birth to her for the rest of our lives." ”

As soon as the second wife said this, she was immediately praised by the Du clan, and the second old man was half angry, but he didn't dare to scold his wife angrily.

His mother was divorced, and his identity as a sister-in-law was suddenly a little embarrassing, so he angrily scolded his wife, and was immediately scolded by the patriarch and elders.

Du Yunxun's brothers and Du Da Guan left, the patriarch and elders also left, Da Wan was sent to the car and sent to the second master's new house, the second wife is today's big winner, and she has gained face and lining. (To be continued)
