836 Caring (3K5)
In terms of gambling and speech, Brother Ping, who has been a civil official for several years, is now better than the blue, and he can compete with the imperial history in the court for a few people back and forth, and even Xu Yanchao is not his opponent.
Xu Yan said to Zhilu that he had left his mouth, and his face was flushed for a while.
Du Xiancheng smiled gently, and said without care: "Okay, they are all relatives, don't say these words." Come, let's have a drink! Eat and drink! β
Everyone knows that Daqi can't help women to remarry. As long as the husband dies, the woman can remarry. Of course, if you have a son, it will be much more difficult to remarry. It doesn't matter if you only have a daughter. Basically, you can remarry after 100 days of your husband's death.
At the beginning, Fang Yuniang thought that Du Xiancheng died in the wind and waves at sea, and only after giving him filial piety for three years did she remarry Xu Shao.
Now she can be regarded as having a son and a grade, and she is no longer the widow of a businessman from a poor family who has no status, if she wants to remarry, it is really not easy.
And looking at Xu Yanchao's appearance, he definitely disagreed.
Xu Yanchao disagreed, Fang Yuniang probably didn't feel uncomfortable, and she wouldn't go with Du Xiancheng.
Du Xiancheng's mind was completely in Xu Yanchao's hands.
Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue glanced at each other, and they both felt panicked in their hearts.
The cheerful atmosphere in the flower hall just now suddenly became low.
Fang Yuniang's heart was worried, she only lowered her head and picked up the rice grains in the bowl with chopsticks, and didn't dare to look at Du Xiancheng's earnest eyes at all.
When I just met Du Xiancheng today and heard him say, "Do you want to go with me", Fang Yuniang was really excited. Forgot about everything and immediately responded to him, she wanted to be with him.
That was the most direct feeling in her heart, the most hidden expectation and desire.
But now seeing her son's gloomy eyes, Fang Yuniang realized that she was too forgetful. - She forgot that she was no longer the unmarried woman she had been. She has a family and a son.
In this current situation, how can she do whatever she wants by her mind?
The meal was listless, and Fang Yuniang barely ate much.
Du Xiancheng saw this scene. A heart sinks to the bottom. But he didn't say anything more, but his eyes became darker and darker. After eating, he directly instructed Du Hengxue to send Fang Yuniang back without much retention.
Xu Yanchao opened his mouth. I don't know what to say. I had to arch my hand. followed Du Hengxue and Fang Yuniang.
In the evening, Du Xiancheng called Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang to the outer courtyard where he lived, and said lightly: "I'm too thoughtful." So be it. You don't have to feast and tell others that I'm back. Anyway, those who should know the Tao know the Tao, and the others don't care. β
Du Hengshuang burst into tears when she heard this. She knew that this was because Du Xiancheng didn't want to burden Xu Yanchao after seeing his performance today, so he didn't want to make a big deal about it.
Du Hengshuang didn't care if the reputation of the Xu family or Xu Shao would be damaged, but she did care about Xu Yanchao's emotions.
At the beginning, Fang Yuniang was almost forced to remarry, but she had to worry about Du Hengshuang in her heart, and she couldn't get over this hurdle for a long time.
As for Xu Yanchao, he is a man again, and his father committed suicide because of the Xiao family, this hurdle must be even greater.
ββ¦β¦ Dad, you don't have to think too much. Speaking to him, maybe he will think about it in the future. Du Hengshuang tried to comfort Du Xiancheng.
Du Xiancheng shook his head and smiled: "I understand." Yan Chao is a good boy, and he is sincerely filial to your mother. If he has a pimple in his heart, even if your mother leaves with me, she will not be happy in this life. Why should I give her another layer of sorrow in her heart? Forget it, forget it. I'm also quite old. Coming back this time can be regarded as a wish. Whether it succeeds or not, I'm happy. He said happily, but the tears in the corners of his eyes couldn't hide from Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang.
But the two didn't persuade again, so as not to disappoint Du Xiancheng even more, but said: "Dad, don't think too much." We'll get together as a family and give you a name. I can't control anyone else, but my son and daughter must come to recognize you as a grandfather. After a pause, Du Hengshuang said again: "I have already sent a letter to Sister An, asking her to bring the child and her husband Chai Erlang back to see her grandfather." β
"Huh?" Du Xiancheng thumped his hands, "You kid, why don't you discuss it with me?!" β
Du Hengshuang showed a stubborn look on his face. This is the only thing she can do as a daughter for her father.
Xu Yanchao defended his father Xu Shao, so he didn't want Fang Yuniang to go with Du Xiancheng, and Du Hengshuang just wanted to do his best to protect his father Du Xiancheng.
"It's not just the Yan Dynasty that has a father. Cher and I have it too! Du Hengshuang's tears finally flowed out.
Xiao Shiji hurriedly grabbed her shoulders and persuaded her in a low voice: "I know that we have a father, we all have a father, who jumped out of the stone?" I know you're doing the right thing, and I'm here for you. - Who wants to see that you are not pleasing to the eye, I will kill him with a knife, and see who dares to chirp crookedly! β
Du Xiancheng looked at the couple dumbfounded, and couldn't help but say, "You two are also almost over forty, why are you still so naΓ―ve?" Can you say that kind of thing? β
Xiao Shihe sighed and said to Du Xiancheng in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, you also have to be considerate of Shuang'er's heart. Ever since the news of your death came, this knot has been in her heart. β
Du Xiancheng wiped a handful of tears with the back of his hand, nodded and said: "I know the way, I know the way, good boy, I have wronged you." β
Obviously, Du Xiancheng is the most depressed person, but he still has to comfort Du Hengshuang.
Du Hengshuang was even more reluctant in her heart, she was busy wiping away her tears, trying to make a happy face, and said with a tearful smile: "Dad, I want to be left." I listen to you. But Sister An must come back to recognize her relatives. β
Du Xiancheng nodded, "Okay." You're tired too, go back and rest. He said to Xiao Shiji: "Shiji, let the kitchen cook a few small dishes and accompany me to eat and drink." β
Xiao Shiji nodded hurriedly and asked Zhishu to accompany Du Hengshuang back.
The kitchen quickly sent a table of wine and food, and Xiao Shiji and Du Xiancheng went to the pavilion in the backyard of the Zhuguo Mansion to set up two tables and sit opposite each other to drink.
"It turns out that Frost has been haunting her." Du Xiancheng said with emotion.
Xiao Shiji nodded, "She doesn't do anything." I can't untie this knot in my life. You can let her be. β
The feeling of losing his father since childhood, Xiao Shiji can especially understand. Just like this time, he must Xu Shao pay for his life. He can let others go, but he must not spare the culprit. Even if the ending is a betrayal of relatives, he will not hesitate to do it. Otherwise, he will not be able to forgive himself until he dies.
And Du Hengshuang, like him, has always missed her dead father Du Xiancheng. She was a little luckier than him, and finally waited for her father to come back alive. But because of Xu Shao, her father had to remain incognito. watched his wife give birth to a son with another man. Never to be able to return to him.
Du Xiancheng ate a few glasses of wine, and he also had a lot of feelings in his heart.
He squinted his eyes and whispered to Xiao Shiji: "Shiji, I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I first came back. Zhilu said that your mother-in-law remarried Xu Shao. I was surprised. Because I know that the difference between the Taoist priests is like a chasm. It is insurmountable. What's so good about the concubine that she can let Xu Shao, the patriarch of the famous Luoyang Xu clan, marry her to fill the house?! As a good son of a concubine from a poor family, even if she is a yellow flower girl. is definitely not qualified to fill the house of a person like Xu Shao. What's more, she is still a businessman's widow, and she also carries two oil bottles! - It wasn't until now that I saw the life story of the girl revealed to the world, and I realized that the far-sightedness of Xu Shao was really terrifying. β
Du Xiancheng thought that Xu Shao's plan to fill the house was to learn about her life experience, so he did it intentionally, and he didn't know another meaning in the road.
Xiao Shiji's heart moved, he hurriedly lowered his head to eat a glass of wine, and silently did not dare to make a sound, for fear that he would be careless, so he would tell Xu Shao what he had done, and it was estimated that he would stab the hornet's nest.
Du Xiancheng is immersed in the memories of the past. His face turned gloomy.
"A woman is born beautiful, but I just know that Xu Shao has never been a person who covets beauty! So, after I came back that year, I went to Luoyang...... Hmph, what a Luoyang Da Sima, what a good means! Good strategy! This is a widow of a poor family, and he can figure it out! β
Xiao Shiji raised his head in surprise and asked, "Father-in-law, do you mean ......?" β
Du Xiancheng snorted coldly: "I am looking at the face of the concubine and Yanchao, and I didn't pursue it." If I wanted to investigate, I could have restored my identity at the beginning, and I sued Dali Temple, telling Xu Shao that his methods were despicable and forcibly occupied people's wives! You see if he still has the face to be his Jing Zhao Yin! β
According to the laws of Daqi, if Du Xiancheng sued this case, Xu Shao would be sentenced to return his wife and Du Xiancheng. If Xu Shao dares to use manpower to hunt down Du Xiancheng, he must also weigh it. Because Du Xiancheng has Xiao Shiji behind him. Under the protection of Xiao Shiji, it is very difficult for Xu Shao to succeed, and he may be guilty of one more degree.
But Du Xiancheng didn't choose to do this at the beginning, because he felt sorry for Fang Yuniang, and he shouldn't have chosen to throw their mother and daughter down, causing this helpless result, he endured it. He regarded this pain as the retribution he deserved, and he was always in the process of paying for his sins.
But now that Xu Shao is dead, he thinks that he can renew his relationship with Fang Yanniang, but as a result, Xu Yanchao, the son left by Xu Shao, can't accept the fact that Fang Yanniang remarried.
Xiao Shiji became more and more shocked when he heard this. He also thought that Xu Shao did the matter of forcing Fang Shao to remarry, and only he and Xu Shao knew it! But it turned out that Du Xiancheng had investigated clearly as soon as he came back. Sure enough, these things can't be hidden from those who have a heart......
Maybe except for Xu Shao's forcing Xiao Xiangsheng to die, Du Xiancheng knows everything, right?
In this case, Xiao Shiji gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, since you have talked about this level, I will not hide it from you." - Xu Shao was forced to death by me. I forced him to die! After speaking, he looked at Du Xiancheng fixedly, not flinching at all.
Bang Dang!
"Why is that?" Du Xiancheng stood up in shock. He was so anxious that he even overturned the case in front of him.
Xiao Shiji said word by word: "Old thief Xu is the mastermind behind forcing my father to death in the first place!" β
"Huh?! How unreasonable! Damn it! Damn it! Du Xiancheng slammed his fist on the pillar of the pavilion, and his face was immediately covered with a layer of murderous aura!
But after a while, he came back to his senses, looked at Xiao Shiji with a sigh and said, "Shiji, you should keep me to do this." It is only right that I help my brother take revenge. Moreover, I have nothing to do with them, it is more appropriate for me to kill Xu Shao or force him to death than you do. At least, you won't offend the Xu family, and you won't embarrass so many relatives. β
In Du Xiancheng's opinion, because Xu Shao's plan is in front, no matter what Xiao Shihe does, there will be a gap between him and Du Hengshuang's husband and wife.
If Xiao Shihe forced Xu Shao to death, he would clearly make him turn against Xu Yanchao, Du Hengxue and Fang Yuniang, so that everyone would betray their relatives and leave, and the worst thing was Du Hengshuang.
If Xiao Shiji looks at Du Hengshuang's face and doesn't attack Xu Shao, then Xiao Shiji, who is not happy, will obviously be angry with Du Hengshuang.
Therefore, Xu Shao's thousands of calculations and designs, in Du Xiancheng's view, actually fell on his daughter Du Hengshuang.
Among them, the most painful is actually his daughter Du Hengshuang......
"Old thief Xu hurt my daughter like this, it's really innocent! But you're really, too impatient, kid. Why don't you send a message to me to counsel and counsel? It's better for me to do it than for you to be different from each other inside and out......" Du Xiancheng rubbed his hands anxiously, "No one here knows me, I can pretend to be your father's brother who died in the army back then, it has nothing to do with you at all, and it will definitely not involve you!" β
Xiao Shiji's tears welled up all of a sudden.
This is the love of a true father. I'd rather have the black cauldron on his back than his own children carrying this heavy burden.
