Du Hengshuang took the prayer post and looked at it, and put it back in Zhishu's hand, "Okay, I know the truth, you go and prepare." ”

Knowing the number, he accepted the greeting post and went to prepare a gift for the guest.

Daqi people pay attention to being a guest and not empty-handed to the door, no matter how big or small, they must express it, which is the way to be a guest.

Du Hengshuang went to the kitchen to see the dishes prepared by the cook. Tomorrow I will celebrate my birthday with the three children and Xu Yanchao, except for the fact that she will make Shou Mian by herself, the other dishes are Du Hengxue's meals.

Du Hengshuang's cooking skills are not as good as Du Hengxue, and Du Hengxue also likes to cook for children, so she unceremoniously took it down.

Du Hengshuang went to the kitchen, just to see how the ingredients were prepared.

When the cook saw Du Hengshuang coming, she hurriedly put down the things in her hand and came over to salute.

Du Hengshuang nodded with a smile and went in for a spin.

The head of these cooks was brought by her from Chang'an, and everyone else bought them in Dingzhou City. So the kitchen is still very clean and tidy, just like the furnishings in the Chang'an Zhu Guohou Mansion.

Du Hengshuang was very satisfied, called the head of the two cooks, and boasted: "Thank you for your trouble, I will give you double monthly allowances for your hard work this month." ”

The cooks were suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly came over to kowtow to Du Hengshuang.

Du Hengshuang left with confidence, just waiting for the next day to have a good birthday for the three children and Xu Yanchao.

In the evening, Du Hengxue quietly called Brother Ping and Sister An aside and told them: "Don't put your father in front of your mother." ”

"For what?!" Brother Ping and Sister An'er widened their eyes, very puzzled.

Du Hengxue was suffocated. "...... Well, your mother and father have quarreled and haven't reconciled yet. Now that you are talking about daddy, your mother will be unhappy. ”

Sister An tilted her head and asked, "My mother didn't say anything." We also mentioned my father today, but my mother didn't get angry and didn't scold us. As she spoke, she nodded her head to indicate that what she said was true.

Du Hengxue wanted to stroke his forehead. How can she say this kind of thing so that the two children can understand?

Xu Yanchao hugged his arms. followed Du Hengxue and watched for a while. Seeing that Du Hengxue couldn't even handle Brother Ping and Sister An. He pursed his lips disdainfully, lowered his arm, staggered over, and made a detour in front of Du Hengxue. Half squatted down in front of Brother Ping and Sister An. Look them level in the eyes. He said in a deep voice: "Your aunt is wrong. Your father and mother are not quarrelling, but parting. ”

"And leave?" Brother Ping and Sister An only felt that their heads were big, and they didn't understand what this word meant at all.

Xu Yanchao was stunned. stood up and scratched his head, looked back at Du Hengxue, and said a little embarrassedly: "Second sister, they don't know what is called harmony?" ”

Du Hengxue pushed Xu Yanchao angrily, "Go, go!" You know that the way of the road is making a big deal out of it. They are only six years old, how can they understand what harmony is? But ......" Du Hengxue thought about it, but still gritted her teeth and said: "In this matter, you should ask your mother." It's not a problem for her to keep it hidden. - Really, Yan Chao? The last sentence was also asked by Xu Yanchao.

Xu Yanchao is not much older than these two children, although he is smart, he doesn't understand the human feelings of this kind of husband and wife and children.

“…… Uh, huh? The eldest sister must know how to tell them......" Xu Yan smiled at the thief's head, "Let them ask the eldest sister!" With that, he ran away with a puff of smoke.

Du Hengxue stomped her feet and scolded in a low voice: "Dead words, I actually slipped away!" ”

There was no way, Du Hengxue had no choice but to take Brother Ping and Sister An to see Du Hengshuang.

Du Hengshuang had just finished taking a shower and sat in front of the dressing table and asked Zhichai to dry her hair.

Seeing Du Hengxue bring Brother Ping and Sister An in, Du Hengshuang turned her head with a smile and beckoned the two children over.

"What's wrong? Don't go to sleep at night, and follow your aunt to your mother's place? Du Hengshuang asked gently.

Brother Ping and Sister An asked in unison: "Mother, what is Heli?" After speaking, he looked at Du Hengshuang nervously, his whole body stiffened, and he stood up straight.

Du Hengshuang glanced at Du Hengxue with some surprise.

Du Hengxue lowered her head, not daring to look at Du Hengshuang's eyes.

"Sister, I want to...... I want to help you, but it turns out ......" Du Hengxue was staggered, and his voice was softer than a mosquito.

Seeing this, Brother Ping hurriedly said: "Mother, that's the case, my aunt asked us not to mention my father in front of my mother, saying that my mother and my father were reconciled, and if we mentioned my father again, my mother would be unhappy." After speaking, he glanced at Du Hengxue, "Yes, auntie?" ”

Du Hengxue didn't dare to look at Brother Ping, just kept nodding.

Du Hengshuang understood a little, shook his head funny, and said to Du Hengxue: "You go and rest, I'll tell them." "Let Zhichai go down again.

Zhichai put the big cotton towel behind Du Hengshuang and bowed his knees.

Du Hengxue also quickly turned around and left.

Only Du Hengshuang and two children were left in the inner room.

Seeing that the two children were very confused and frightened, Du Hengshuang took a deep breath and knew that he could no longer hide it from them.

But how do you say that?

Du Hengshuang groaned while pulling the hands of the two children, letting them hug them in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Your aunt is right, my mother is separated from my father." Mother begged to leave the court, no longer husband and wife with your father. ”

"What is a couple?" Sister An asked curiously.

"A husband and wife are two people who live together after a man and a woman, after the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, they become relatives and worship heaven and earth. But now, my mother and your father have dissolved this relationship, and we no longer live together, and we are no longer husband and wife. Du Hengshuang explained to them as much as possible in words that the two children could understand.

Brother Ping and Sister An don't seem to understand.

"Why do you want to go to court? Why do you want to reconcile and separate? Can't you go back and live with your dad? Brother Ping and Sister An remembered the days when they used to be with their parents, and they longed for it.

Du Hengshuang stroked the heads of the two of them, and said softly: "But my mother is not happy with your father." We quarreled all day and didn't want to see each other. Sometimes even fights. Do you think you are still willing to live with such a father? ”

Brother Ping frowned and said, "But Sister An and I sometimes quarrel, and I don't want to see her." But I didn't leave her, I didn't drive her away......"

Du Hengshuang was a little ridiculous, and hurriedly corrected Brother Ping, "This is different." Sister An is your own sister. Relatives cannot be chosen, but husbands and wives are not relatives and can separate at any time. ”

"Oh......" Brother Ping replied sullenly, very entangled in his heart.

Du Hengshuang comforted him. "Still. Although my father and mother are no longer husband and wife, you are still the heirs of the Xiao family, and in the genealogy of the Xiao family, you will grow up in the future. I also want to go back to Xiao's house. So he's still your daddy. You can be as good as you used to be with your father. ”

"Really? Will that mother be unhappy? Sister An asked cautiously.

Du Hengshuang shook his head. "Of course not. Your father loves you very much, I took you away, and he can't see you. I'll miss you too. ”

Brother Ping and Sister An were happy at this time, but it didn't take long for Brother Ping to immediately think of another thing, and said anxiously: "I remember, I heard Ou Yangniang say before that my aunt also divorced from my little uncle." Ou Yangniang said that the aunt can remarry someone else, and the uncle can also marry someone else as his wife. Will Dad marry another woman? Are we going to call that woman a mother? - Don't, mother, I don't want to go back to Xiao's house and call other women to be mothers! ”

When Sister An heard this, she burst into tears.

As soon as they thought that their father would marry a bride, they felt as if they had been abandoned, and they suddenly became sad.

Du Hengshuang sighed, hugged the two children tighter, and said, "Your father will definitely marry again, but you don't have to worry, follow your mother, you will not be wronged in this life." When I return to the Xiao family in the future, there will be no place for you, so let's see. ”

Brother Ping and Sister An sobbed and followed Du Hengshuang to sleep in the inner room.

Du Hengshuang didn't close his eyes all night. Instead of worrying about herself, she worries about her two children.

She thought that when she was a child, because Du Xiancheng was gone, Fang Yuniang took her and Du Hengxue to marry into the Xu family, and the two of them were really bullied and ridiculed by the two brothers Xu Yanhui and Xu Yanbang. Although the two brothers later reined in a lot and no longer teased them, the exceptionally strong temperament that was cultivated by discrimination since childhood was deeply rooted in her bone marrow.

Is she going to put her children through all this?

Du Hengshuang thought about it all night. When it was dawn, she suddenly figured it out.

She doesn't have to remarry, even if she wants to marry, she will find a man who has no children and doesn't have to climb high to marry, won't she have it? Their sisters were looked down upon at that time, wasn't it because Fang Yuniang married Xu Shao and climbed the Xu family?

If the two families are right and the other party has no children, even if she remarries, the two children will not be the same as when she was a child.

Thinking of this, Du Hengshuang's mood suddenly improved.

It was bright outside, Du Hengshuang got up quietly, and after cleaning up, he went to the kitchen to prepare shou noodles.

From rolling noodles to preparing soups and toppings, she takes care of them all by herself.

A meal of longevity noodles took an hour to make four small bowls.

Du Hengshuang put the good noodles in the food box and carried them to the side hall.

Brother Ping, Sister An, and Brother Yang, and Xu Yanchao were all sitting there waiting.

Fang Yanniang and Du Hengxue sat on the side with a smile, Xu Yanbang had already returned, and he was also sitting under Du Hengxue.

Du Hengshuang put the prepared Shou Mian in front of them and said, "Come, eat Shou Mian, grow up quickly, and last a long time." "Said some auspicious words.

Brother Ping and Sister An thanked Du Hengshuang with a smile and buried themselves in eating noodles.

Xu Yanchao picked at the chopsticks and said with a smile: "This noodle is rolled out well, eldest sister, your cooking skills are no worse than the second sister!" ”

Du Hengshuang glanced at him with disgust, "You don't have to be like a flood of words, my cooking skills are far from Xue'er." As he spoke, he twisted a thin strip of noodles in front of Brother Yang and fed him them.

The maid who was waiting put other dishes made by Du Hengxue herself, and a large table was always set up.

The family was eating happily, but a mother-in-law hurriedly replied at the door: "Madam, someone from Chang'an City has come to congratulate the eldest young master and eldest lady on their birthdays." ”

Du Hengshuang was stunned for a moment, and his hand that was feeding Brother Yang stopped.

Brother Yang saw a mouthful of longevity noodles in front of him, but he couldn't reach it, he couldn't eat it in his mouth, he was so anxious that he screamed, and he struggled to move forward, wanting to eat the noodles on Du Hengshuang's chopsticks.

Du Hengshuang hurriedly put down the small bowl, motioned for Du Hengxue to come and help her feed Brother Yang, walked to the door and asked, "Who is from Chang'an?" ”

The mother-in-law replied: "He said that he is Xiao Yi and the chief steward of the outer courtyard of the Xiao family. "This woman is also a subordinate who bought it in Dingzhou, and I don't know about Chang'an.

It was actually Xiao Yi.

Du Hengshuang was stunned for a while, nodded slowly, and said, "Bring him in." ”

The mother-in-law answered, and hurriedly went to the second gate to invite Xiao Yi in.

Xiao Yi walked all the way and looked all the way, and saw that this mansion covers a wide area, the house is magnificent, although the subordinates are not as calm as those in Chang'an City, but they are very diligent and enthusiastic, and over time, they are not worse than those in Chang'an, so he nodded slightly in his heart. And when he first came, the two goalkeepers in brass armor he saw at the door sighed slightly in his heart.

He just inquired and knew that the two goalkeepers were sent by the Xiahou family.

He also knew that when Du Hengshuang was in Chang'an, he had a relationship with the little prince Xiahou. As soon as she and Xiao Shihe reconciled, she moved to Dingzhou to live, is it an accidental coincidence?

Xiao Yi shook his head in his heart, and followed the mother-in-law to the place where Du Hengshuang and them ate in the inner courtyard.

Du Hengshuang stood under the cloister at the door, watching Xiao Yi walk in with his head down.

"Ma'am, the people have brought it." The woman curtsied and stepped aside.

Xiao Yi looked up and saw Du Hengshuang wearing a double-forest silk embroidered gold partridge long-sleeved short shirt, tied with a begonia red beaded beast pattern trailing long skirt, wearing a gold-inlaid jade Guanyin on his head full of Chijiao distraction, wearing a light pink thin silk half-arm, fluttering and standing on the steps, compared with when he left Chang'an, his complexion was much better.

Xiao Yi thought of his uncle's thin and haggard appearance again, and he was not sad in his heart. But he couldn't blame Du Hengshuang, after all, his uncle was a little too much for a while, and he was not ordinary close to Mu Yelai......

In addition, Emperor Yongchang and the crown prince have never been waiting to see Du Hengshuang, and Du Hengshuang begged to go to court, just to find a way to live.

If you want to blame, blame the will of heaven......

Xiao Yi sighed in his heart, and saluted Du Hengshuang: "Madam, I was sent by my uncle to congratulate the three children on their birthdays. Our uncle really wanted to have three children, and said that when he was free in the future, he would come to see them. ”

Du Hengshuang nodded, and said lightly: "Let your uncle bother." Then he asked him, "Have you eaten breakfast?" Come and sit down. ”

Brother Ping and Sister An looked up and saw that it was Xiao Yi who came in, and hurriedly cheered and got off the table, and said to Xiao Yi, "Where is my father?" Is my dad here? ”

Xiao Yi was very happy to see that the two children still remembered their uncle, and took out the gift Xiao Shi and prepared for them with a smile, "This is your father's birthday gift for you, take it and play." ”
