Chapter 3 Catch the Week
Xiao Shiji raised his little face and quietly looked at the two women.
Tian looks a little old, although her complexion is still fair, but the deep crow's feet at the corners of her eyes reveal her age. Wearing a high-waisted skirt with orange-red half-arms, light grass and green with small flowers, holding a scarlet sara shawl, holding a brocade handkerchief with joyful eyebrows in one hand, and a moon-white fan in the other, with various gold dangling jewelry on his head, shining in the sun.
Sun was younger, with a round face, pink and fat, a light blue low-cut half arm, revealing most of his snow-white breasts, and when he giggled, his chest fluttered together.
Du Xiancheng hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The two sisters-in-law laughed. Because today is the big day of Shuang'er to catch Zhou, I want to go to Luoyang first, but I can't catch it, so I go home first. I was going to wait for Shuang'er to catch Zhou, and then take Shuang'er and my mother to Luoyang to see the sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, but I didn't expect the sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law to come in person, Xiancheng really deserved it. ”
Tian Shi glanced at Sun Shi obliquely, and the two of them took half a step back together, avoiding Du Xiancheng's salute, "The third brother will see the outside when he says this." We are a family, Shuang'er is your eldest daughter, her Zhou ceremony, why don't we come? Besides, we missed the full moon ceremony, if we miss the Zhou ceremony again, in the future, the third brother and sister will not let us enter this door, right, third brother? ”
Du Xiancheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no!" Your three siblings would never do that. After a pause, he said: "If she really does this, the two sisters-in-law will tell me that I will never let the two sisters-in-law be wronged." ”
Tian nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand behind him and beckoned, "Hengji, Hengcai, come and meet your third uncle." Haven't you been talking about it, thinking about your third uncle? As he spoke, he gently pushed Du Xiancheng again, "Third brother, for more than a year, you really rarely go back to Luoyang." It is the foundation of our Du family, don't forget your roots. ”
Du Xiancheng gently took a step to the side and looked back.
Two young men stepped out of the back porch.
The taller one is Du Hengji, who is seventeen years old this year, and the shorter one is his younger brother Du Hengcai, who is fifteen years old this year.
Sun also hurriedly beckoned back, "Henglan, Hengjiao, Heng'e, you guys come over too!" ”
The three-and-a-half-year-old children ran after Du Hengji and Du Hengcai.
Du Henglan is the eldest son of the Sun family, and he is thirteen years old this year. Du Hengjiao and Du Heng'e are her two daughters, Hengjiao is ten years old, Heng'e is Sun's husband, that is, Du Xiancheng's second brother was born in the year he went to join the army, and he is only seven years old this year.
Xiao Shiji glared at Du Hengji and Du Hengcai, who were like adults, and couldn't help but ask Du Xiancheng: "Uncle Du, my mother said that men and women are seven years old and have different seats, and three-foot boys do not enter the inner house." These two. He pointed to Du Hengji and Du Hengcai, "They don't ...... Three feet. ”
Xiao Shiji's mother-in-law, that is, Xiao Xiangsheng's wife Long Xiangye, is the daughter of a talented family, who has been knowledgeable since she was a child, and is very outstanding in small households. Xiao Xiangsheng valued her tutor, so he hired her three media and six times, and married her as the original matchmaker.
Du Xiancheng knew that Xiao Shiji's mother attached great importance to etiquette, and explained to him with a smile, "What your mother said is right. But there are exceptions to everything, such as them, who are my closest relatives, and these rules do not have to be followed. ”
"Oh." Xiao Shiji replied as if he didn't understand.
Their words attracted Du Heng'e's attention. She walked over with a smile, looked at Xiao Shiji's little face, and turned around and said, "Mother, this little brother is so handsome!" ”
Du Heng'e is seven years old, Xiao Shiji is only four years old, and his height is also a head taller than Xiao Shiji.
Xiao Shiji was furious, but he knew that Lu Dao was Du Xiancheng's close relative, and he didn't have a good seizure, but he just made a tiger face, pushed Du Heng'e away, and hid behind Du Xiancheng.
Du Heng'e was pushed so badly that she staggered back a few steps, plunged into Sun's arms, felt embarrassed, and hugged Sun's high-waisted skirt and refused to let go.
Tian covered his mouth with a fan and smiled: "Third brother, whose little brother is this?" Born really handsome. ”
Although he is young, his facial features are surprisingly handsome, and he looks even more beautiful than a little girl.
Du Xiancheng smiled and said lightly: "This is the eldest son of my righteous brother Brother Xiao." ”
Both the Tian family and the Sun family knew that Du Xiancheng's brother-in-law was his former comrade Xiao Xiangsheng in the army, and he was also one of the two major salt merchants in Chang'an City known as "East Xiao and West Du".
Xiao Xiangsheng's salt store was opened in the east market of Chang'an City, and Du Xiancheng's salt store was opened in the west market of Chang'an City, and the two joined forces to control almost eighty percent of the salt supply north of the Huai River in the Great Zhou.
"Yo, this is Uncle Xiao's eldest son, I said, he was born so familiar." Sun immediately reacted, walked to Du Xiancheng's side, and looked behind him.
Xiao Shiji hid behind Du Xiancheng, his little brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
The Xiao family, that is also a rich family that does not lose to the Du family.
Sun's eyes rolled around, turned around and pulled his daughter Du Heng'e over, and said to Du Xiancheng: "Third brother, the second sister-in-law has never begged you for anything. But today, I hope you will do your second sister-in-law a favor for your niece's sake. ”
Du Xiancheng hurriedly said: "If the second sister-in-law has something to say, as long as Xiancheng can do it, she will definitely do it." ”
Sun smiled and pushed Du Heng'e behind Du Xiancheng, and collided with Xiao Shiji.
Xiao Shiji hid more and more to the side.
"Third brother, look, aren't your niece and this Xiao Gongzi a match made in heaven? - Just trouble the third brother, help us Heng'e to book Xiao Gongzi as his wife, and it will not be in vain for your second brother to die on the battlefield for you. As he spoke, Sun took a handkerchief to wipe away his tears.
Du Xiancheng's face sank, and he said to Sun: "Second sister-in-law, Shiji is not my child, I can't be his master." Besides, Heng'e is three years older and ......"
Tian listened to it on the side, walked to Sun's side with a smile, patted Sun's shoulder and said: "Third brother, you don't understand this, as the saying goes, a female junior, hug the gold brick, this is a splendid relationship." Besides, our Du family is a real match with their Xiao family. You have fulfilled this marriage, not only your second sister-in-law who is alive, but also your dead second brother, and even our father and mother under Jiuquan, will talk about your good. ”
Although Du Xiancheng respects the two sisters-in-law, he is not a foolish and brainless person, but the two sisters-in-law are so enthusiastic, he will not sweep their face, so he has to say lightly: "Shiji is too young, his father and mother once said that they would not give him such an early engagement." If Heng'e is willing to wait, she can wait for ten or eight years, and then talk about it when she can get engaged. ”
After ten or eight years, Du Heng'e will become an old girl if she is not engaged, where can she afford to wait? - This is a disguised rejection of Sun's proposal.
Sun couldn't get off the stage, and his face was ugly for a while.
Tian hurriedly played the round, "Okay, okay, today is the day of our Hengshuang niece to catch Zhou, come, let's go to the house to meet the third brother and sister, and Shuang'er." - Third brother, your two nephews are entrusted to your care. "Push his two sons Du Hengji and Du Hengcai to Du Xiancheng to take care of.
