Although they are father and daughter, they can't call him father in person, and in front of outsiders, they have to use various methods to cover up and prevaricate......

Du Hengshuang looked at his father's eyes and said calmly: "...... No, I don't. Maybe I've just told Cher a little sad. Lord Wang, you still don't know the way, right? We...... Hou Ye may be going on an expedition. ”

Du Xiancheng did not miss Du Hengshuang's stiffness and reluctance when he said the word "Hou Ye".

He glanced at her again, and saw that she was still forced to calm down, and nodded with a smile, "In this way, I really have to worry." The husband was out fighting, and the hearts of the family were in their throats. As he spoke, he turned to Du Hengxue and said, "You go and get some ideas for the two children to eat." I don't understand some things in the ledger, I want to ask your sister for advice, can I? ”

As soon as Du Hengxue heard it, she knew that her father also saw that her sister had something on her mind. She herself has no way to ask the clue, fortunately her father came forward, how sure can she be? But she was worried about her father's health, so she couldn't help but hesitate for a while and said, "Father-in-law, you haven't taken medicine today." ”

Du Hengshuang hurriedly said: "Then I'll serve the prince to take medicine." "Let her do her filial piety.

"Then there is Mrs. Laozhu. In addition, the account book ...... matter" Du Xiancheng looked at Du Hengshuang with a smile, the beard on his cheeks was shining golden brown in the late autumn sun, at first glance, he was a Haixi person, and no one could recognize this as the generous and heroic Luoyang man in the "East Xiao Xidu" back then......

Du Hengxue looked at Du Hengshuang, "Sister......" with a hint of pleading.

Du Hengshuang smiled and made a "rest assured" gesture to Du Hengxue, turned his head to Du Xiancheng and said, "Lord Wang." Where is your study? When you read the account book, you always have to go to the study, right? ”

Du Xiancheng was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Please here, please here!" ——I heard that Mrs. Zhu Guohou is a good hand at doing accounts, so I have to take a good look at it today! As he spoke, he called out, "Lao Luo! Bring over the account book of the outer courtyard for more than a year to this king! ”

Someone outside answered.

Du Hengshuang was speechless, secretly wondering if he really wanted to read the account book? She knew that her father used to be a big salt merchant in Chang'an City, and it was said that his abacus was crackling. Even the old account office that has accumulated years is not as good as him. Coupled with the coarseness on his face, he is actually as careful as dust, how can there be an account book that he can't understand?

Du Hengshuang didn't know what Daddy Lu Dao was going to do, if he just wanted to trap her. She'd already tried it with Cher just now. Presumably, it is not a problem to fool Daddy in the past.

A mother-in-law brought Du Xiancheng's medicine over.

Du Hengshuang took it. Follow Du Xiancheng to his study.

Du Xiancheng has a separate study in the outer courtyard, and the study in the inner courtyard is a south-facing secondary room that has been reconstructed.

Entering the house, Du Hengshuang offered the medicine. Let Du Xiancheng drink.

Du Xiancheng took the medicine bowl and put it aside, pointed to the brocade in front of him and said, "You sit first." The medicine should be cooled and drunk. ”

"Huh?" Du Hengshuang was puzzled, "Don't you have to drink the medicine while it's hot?" ”

"My medicine is different from ordinary medicine." Du Xiancheng said with a smile, then changed the topic, and his voice became stern: "Okay, now there are no outsiders, tell me, what troubles are you encountering?" Look at your sad appearance, your heart is as happy as ashes. How can you still be a mother of three children? ”

Du Hengshuang pouted secretly in his heart, not at all intimidated by Du Xiancheng's stern appearance, but said with a smile: "Dad, there really isn't." I just told Cher......"

Du Xiancheng interrupted her, "Don't fool me with Xue'er." What you say is a holy decree for Xue'er, you can hide it from her, but you can't hide it from you. ”

Du Hengshuang's face was flushed by Du Xiancheng's words, and he immediately stood up from the brocade, his face was flushed, and he said hesitantly: "...... Dad, what are you talking about? ”

Du Xiancheng looked at the slim and beautiful eldest daughter in front of him, and said with infinite emotion: "It's big, the child is big." It's a big girl. I think when I left, you were only so little, and you were the closest to your father. No matter what grievances you encounter, the first one will tell your father. At that time, your mother said that you were stubborn, you made a mistake and refused to admit your mistake, and she wanted to beat you, but I stopped you, and almost quarreled with your mother. You don't want to see your father and mother quarrel, so you cry and admit your mistake. - You're really born with the wrong body. You should be a son, eat soft but not hard, and love to get out when you encounter problems. When you are good to people, you can't wait to dig out your heart, whether it is suitable or not, whether it should be or not, as soon as your brain is hot, you have to help others do it. ”

Listening to Du Xiancheng's deep voice talking about the past, Du Hengshuang couldn't help but have a sour nose, hurriedly raised his head, and tried his best to swallow back the tears that were almost in his eyes.

"Do you really see that you have something in your heart? - I'm just using it as a cover. Yesterday, two people came to the palace, Xue'er thought I didn't know the way, but in fact, I didn't know who was in the palace, and I lived to be a dog at this age. Du Xiancheng said warmly, and then pointed to the brocade in front of him, "You kid, you said to let you sit, what are you doing when you stand up?" ”

Du Hengshuang took two breaths desperately before suppressing the choking in his throat and slowly sat down.

"Daddy said that, it's not that Daddy doesn't care about you. It's just that no matter how capable Daddy is, he can't see through people's hearts. If it weren't for the fact that I knew that Xu Yanhui's kid also came to the palace yesterday, I wouldn't have seen that you really had something on your mind. Du Xiancheng said that Xu Shao's eldest son, as if he had nothing to do.

Du Hengshuang was even more gloomy.

"What Xu Yanbang's kid has in mind, I know very well. But Xu Yanhui's kid actually had this heart, but it was beyond my expectations. But at least it seems that he is still a person who knows the importance of Taoism. - Although he cares about you, he can think about you everywhere, and since you got married, he hasn't troubled you, right? ”

Du Hengshuang shook his head and said in a low voice: "No." Brother Xu is also very respectful to his mother now. She now calls Xu Yanhui "Brother Xu", also for the sake of her mother. Fang Yuniang is Xu Shao's stepmother, Xu Yanhui is her stepson, and the relationship between the two people is very bad. But since Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue got married one after another, Xu Yanhui and Xu Yanbang have become much more normal. No longer deliberately goes against Fang Yuniang, and the affection on the face can be maintained.

Du Xiancheng nodded, "That's good." It's a pity......"

Du Hengshuang smiled and said, "Dad, it's time for you to drink medicine." ”

"Drink later. Don't interrupt. Du Xiancheng snorted, "If you can work Xu Yanhui's master, your business must be extraordinary." But instead of looking for your mother, I came to find Xue'er, thinking that I wanted to borrow Xue'er's identity as the county lord? Could it be that there is a high man who is embarrassed by you? Du Xiancheng saw that Du Hengshuang just refused to say it, so he began to slowly analyze it by himself.

Du Hengshuang was stunned. Forced smiled: "Dad." I see you're switching to catching. In this way, no sinner can escape his father's eyes. ”

Du Xiancheng smiled and said, "I still want to be a small country catcher and investigate cases every day." Fool your boss. It can also fish and flesh one side of the people......"

Du Hengshuang:"=="

Du Xiancheng tried several methods. Du Hengshuang just refused to say.

The more she refused to speak, the more anxious Du Xiancheng became.

Because he knew the Tao, his own "disease". Zhu Susu said that he could not be happy and sad.

Du Hengshuang refused to say it, affirming that this matter was either "great joy" or "great compassion".

And looking at the appearance of the two sisters, Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue, it is definitely not "great joy", then it must be "great sorrow".

Du Xiancheng's heart tightened, he took the tea bowl from the table, lifted the lid and drank tea, and glanced at Du Hengshuang with his eyes from the edge of the tea bowl, and when he saw her bow her head, her face was extremely sad. But when she looked up, her face was as usual.

Although Du Xiancheng was extremely reluctant, he also understood. This incident must have something to do with that kid. Otherwise, what could make his daughter, who was not even afraid of death, have such a lonely look?

Putting down the tea bowl, Du Xiancheng got up first and opened the door and window of the house, and at a glance, there was no one around.

When it comes to really important things, you can't keep the doors and windows closed.

It's best to be in a spacious place, and it's best to know if there are people around at a glance.

When Du Hengshuang saw Du Xiancheng like this, he knew that this father was really not easy to fool, so he had to bow his head and think about it.

After making sure that there was no one around, Du Xiancheng whispered: "Shuang'er, let's do it, Dad will also tell you a secret." After you say that, will you also tell your father about your heart? ”

Du Hengshuang couldn't believe his ears. How old is Daddy, and he still plays this kind of child's trick?!

If you tell me a secret, I'll tell you a secret, otherwise we won't be friends......

Du Hengshuang couldn't help laughing, and said, "Dad, no matter how big your secret is, it's useless, because I don't have anything to worry about my daughter......"

Du Xiancheng smiled, suddenly sat there, took a deep breath, and his face became bruised, exactly the same as the time when he fell ill on the way to Luoyang and picked up Xue'er halfway!

Du Hengshuang was shocked, and hurriedly pounced on Du Xiancheng to beat his chest and back, and said in a low voice: "Dad...... Dad, you're fine, are you? ”

Du Xiancheng took another deep breath, his face had returned to normal, he looked at Du Hengshuang with a smile on his face, and said, "Did you see it?" That's Daddy's secret! ”

Du Hengshuang looked at Du Xiancheng in a daze, speechless for a while.

"Huh? No way? My daughter is so stupid? Can't see this? Du Xiancheng seemed to shake his head again and again regretfully, "Why do I have any heart problems?" - I'm pretending to be all that! ”

"Impossible!" Du Hengshuang subconsciously retorted, "Su Su is a miracle doctor, she said that her father does have a heart problem, she won't lie to me!" ”

Du Xiancheng said with a smile: "Su Su is indeed good at medicine, but she doesn't understand, for a person like me who has kung fu, it is too easy to change the pulse change with one hand and foot, and it is not even difficult to change the condition of the face and some parts of the body."

"Dad, why are you doing this? You're just trying to worry about our sisters, aren't you? Du Hengshuang couldn't help but say angrily, still a little incredulous.

Du Xiancheng asked Du Hengshuang to sit beside him and said in a low voice: "Of course I did this for a reason. I came back from overseas, laid down an island, and brought 3,000 sailors, do you think that one can really let me be a prince of peace here? Also, my identity is still fake, and I can hide it for a while, but I can't hide it for a lifetime. I did this to pave the way for me to retire slowly. If I stay here, sooner or later, I will become a threat to your sisters. When the time comes, it will be too late to regret it. ”

Du Hengshuang looked at Du Xian's honest and smiling appearance, and his knees weakened. Finally knelt in front of Du Xiancheng, leaned his head on his knees, and called softly: "Daddy......" Only fathers and mothers can think of this for their children. Of course, not every child has such good fortune. Du Hengshuang suddenly felt very warm, full of strength, it seemed that she was not afraid of no matter how big the blow was, just because she had such a selfless father who loved her like this!

"When I come back, I just want to see you sisters doing well. Your sister's marriage. I'll do it for her before I go. You won't have to worry about it in the future. You know, I am not a man who covets power. As long as the new monarch ascends to the throne, I will be able to retreat with my whole body. Du Xiancheng stroked Du Hengshuang's head, as if she had returned to when she was a child. Father and daughter sat under a wisteria trellis in the courtyard. The little Du Hengshuang washed his hair. With his hair scattered, he sat in his father's arms, clapping his hands and singing children's songs. When she was tired of singing, her father gave her a piece of cantaloupe that was sweeter than honey. At that time, only the cantaloupe that the nobles of Chang'an could eat, for the young Du Hengshuang, it was just an ordinary fruit that usually cooled off.

Du Hengshuang rubbed his head on Du Xiancheng's leg, and swallowed the tears that were about to gush out. She knew that her father came back for their sisters, and her father was leaving, and it was also for their sisters. For the sake of their sisters, Daddy really thought about everything......

"Okay, now you can tell what's on your mind, right? Daddy's kung fu is good, and the little wind and waves at sea are really nothing. Don't worry, Dad's illness is really fake. Du Xiancheng tried his best to persuade Du Hengshuang to find out what made her so sad.

Du Hengshuang had no choice but to say what he had just said to Du Hengxue.

Sure enough, Du Xiancheng was much spicier than Du Hengxue, and after listening to Du Hengshuang's words, his first reaction was, "Does that kid have someone else?" ”

Du Hengshuang's whole body shook and he shook his head hurriedly, but it was too late.

Du Xiancheng snorted lightly, and Du Hengshuang was very frightened when he heard it. She looked up timidly and looked at Du Xiancheng.

Du Xiancheng's loving face just now was as cold as ice. He looked down at Du Hengshuang and said coldly: "Your husband has an outside heart, what have you done?" ”

Du Hengshuang was stunned. Why is Daddy blaming her? She heard you right, right?

Seeing Du Hengshuang's unbelievable look, Du Xiancheng said sharply: "You kneel for me!" ”

Du Xiancheng is known as a prestige, and Du Hengshuang was busy kneeling straight in front of Du Xiancheng.

"Shuang'er, tell your father, no matter what Xiao Shi and that kid did, what did you do?"

Du Hengshuang was very aggrieved, and couldn't help but say, "Dad! Why are you elbowing out? What did the daughter do? Is my daughter doing too little? As she spoke, she told everything she had done for Xiao Shiji, including many things that Xiao Shihe was inconvenient to come forward for, she took the initiative to take her body, and even shot off Cui Sanlang's arms!

"Dad, you say, I haven't done enough? Even if his mother treated me like that, I didn't cut him off. Now I'm still taking care of his crazy mother! Du Hengshuang pouted, and no longer concealed his likes and dislikes in front of Du Xiancheng.

As soon as he talked about Long Xiangye, Du Xiancheng was a little speechless, and said stupidly: "Long Xiangye, that crazy woman, it's better to be crazy." After speaking, he looked at Du Hengshuang, who was pursing his lips and smiling, and said, "You are still laughing!" You can keep laughing! ”

"Dad, what's wrong with my daughter? You're going to curse like that! Du Hengshuang's eyes immediately turned red.

Du Xiancheng sighed, sat up straight, and said earnestly to Du Hengshuang: "When you were a child, you were still a good girl with ideas. But now, look at yourself, are you still my daughter? ”

"How am I not?!" Du Hengshuang was very unwilling. She asked herself that she had done everything she should have done, and she had done what she shouldn't have done, but she said that in Du Xiancheng's mouth, it seemed that she had done something wrong.

"You're right?" Du Xiancheng stood up and began to count Du Hengshuang.

"First, you are wrong for not being able to stand on your own feet. I gave birth to you and raised you, you are my daughter, one person! Not a vassal of his Xiao Shiji! - But what about you? Or is it still my daughter? Will my daughter leave her young children at home and wallow in her own grief? Don't forget, you have a high hall above, a child below, you are Xiao Shiji's wife, but you are also the daughter of me and your mother, the mother of your children, how can you seek death for a man? I feel sorry for you when you were in great trouble, and I never said anything about you once. But now it seems that it can't be said otherwise! Du Xiancheng was very distressed.

Du Hengshuang was stunned when he heard it.

"Second, your fault is that you can't improve yourself. Yes, if you get married, or marry a man who is your childhood sweetheart, he should know you and understand you. But have you ever thought that he is just your husband, not your father! Frost, you should have grown up. Your brother has grown up, he is a man, and he is still an ambitious man. You can't entrust your whole life to another man, no matter how good he is, he is not worthy of your life. The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it, how can you despise yourself? - You don't think of yourself as a human being. How can you expect others to treat you as a human being? Du Xiancheng's words were even harsher. Hearing this, Du Hengshuang burst into tears, but he kept covering his mouth and didn't dare to cry.

"Third, you are wrong because you don't know what you are doing. You are Siu Shiji's wife. Not the! You need to be on your own. Do you want to take all the bullshit that he has and doesn't have?! Besides, even his mother is a hands-off shopkeeper. What are you going to do to bother with him to such an extent?! When you do things, can you not just rely on your lonely courage, but also use your brain?! When helping people. Be sure to pay attention to whether you can protect yourself. If you can't, you'd rather not do it. - Only for the sake of your children do you need to be desperate, not your husband! Did you hear that?! ”

Du Hengshuang was ashamed to hear this, and hung his head deeply.

Although Du Xiancheng scolded Du Hengshuang like this, he was actually condemning himself in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that he had been gone for so many years, leaving the two children without a father since childhood, how would they become what they are now? and Xiao Shiji, if he stayed in Chang'an, even if Brother Xiao was gone, he would not become what he is now. Besides, if he didn't have his brains in the water, he must go to the ocean, maybe Brother Xiao would not end up in prison for unjustly dying. Long Xiangye's dead mother-in-law has no fart skills except for being able to give birth to a son! There is also Fang Yuniang, who is a woman in the end, although the two children are not short of food and clothing, but in terms of upbringing, they are still too careless.

What a child looks like is inseparable from the efforts of parents. In the absence of parents, the child grows like a weed.

"My daughter is a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go! I really don't know you now. Even if Xiao Shi and that kid empathize and don't fall in love, it's not worth your sadness to be like this! - What a shame on me! Du Xiancheng said, but still took out a handkerchief and asked Du Hengshuang to wipe his tears.

Du Hengshuang hurriedly took the handkerchief, woke up his nose, and the depression in his heart was unconsciously scolded by Du Xiancheng, but he felt embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look at Du Xiancheng's eyes.

Du Xiancheng took her hand and sat down, changed his tone, and said gently: "Come, give Daddy a smile." You're still alive, you're healthy, your children are lively and cute, your father and mother are there, you're still there, you're a sister, and you even have a younger brother who has the same mother, so it's not a big deal if you don't have that man. Daddy told your mother in the early years that if Xiao Shi and that kid don't learn well, we will kick him to find someone else. My daughter is such a good-looking talent, and some people are willing to hold you in the palm of her hand and love you for a lifetime. If that kid doesn't know how to cherish it, let's break up! Whoever wants to live with him, let him pass! - When the time comes, let's close the door and put the dragon leaves! ”

Du Hengshuang burst into tears and laughed, but felt even more embarrassed, and his head was getting lower and lower.

Du Xiancheng was about to explain Du Hengshuang a few more words, when he heard Du Hengxue's voice from a distance at the courtyard gate, "Father-in-law, the Marquis of Zhu Guo has come to pick up his wife and child." The voice was a little listless, and it was obvious that Du Hengxue was also affected by Du Hengshuang.

Du Xiancheng glared at Du Hengshuang, and Du Hengshuang stuck out his tongue.

Like what Du Xiancheng said today, Zhu Susu once said something similar, but it was not as clear as Du Xiancheng, and of course, it was not as effective as Du Xiancheng.

Sometimes, at critical moments, the person who drills the horns of the bull only needs a little enlightenment and nudge.

Du Hengshuang stood up and said, "Dad, I'll go out and let him go back first." ”

Du Xiancheng shook his head, "You go out, let him come in, I want to talk to him." ”

Du Hengshuang thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll call him in." "I didn't have the same mind that I had before and pounced on Xiao Shiji, for fear that Du Xiancheng would embarrass Xiao Shiji.

Du Xiancheng nodded secretly in his heart. Fortunately, even if her daughter can't think about it, she can be persuasive. It's just that he knows that Du Hengshuang's love for Xiao Shihe for so many years cannot be persuaded by one or two conversations.

Whoever started the trouble should end it.

Du Hengshuang walked out and saw Xiao Shiji standing beside Du Hengxue, stretching his neck to look into the courtyard.

"Master Hou, the prince asked you to go in and talk." Du Hengshuang said with a smile, not hiding her crying red eyes.

Du Hengxue saw it, and Xiao Shiji also saw it.

"Shuang'er, your eyes ......" Xiao Shiji hesitated a little, thinking that Du Hengshuang had complained to her father again, and if she went, she would definitely be beaten and scolded by him. But Du Xiancheng is not only his father-in-law, but also his master, even if he wants to be beaten or scolded, he can only bear it, and he can't help but feel a little uneasy, but he still bows his head and goes in.

When he entered the back room, Du Xiancheng saw him come in, but he stood up and bowed to him.

scared Xiao Shiji's legs weak, and immediately knelt down for Du Xiancheng.

"Huh? What's going on? The Marquis of Zhu Guo has such a big gift, this king really can't afford it! Du Xiancheng smiled, and he didn't look like he was going to support Du Hengshuang at all.

Xiao Shiji looked at Du Xiancheng suspiciously, was dragged up by him, and sat on the brocade next to him.

Du Xiancheng said to him in his heart: "Shiji, our two families are world friends, and you and Shuang'er also grew up together as childhood sweethearts." Over the years, I have seen how well you have treated her. ”

Xiao Shiji listened to this, how awkward he listened, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Father-in-law, Shiji also has times when he can't take care of Shuang'er. If you do something wrong, you can beat and scold! ”

Du Xiancheng smiled and pulled him to sit down again, and said, "What are you talking about?" It's too rusty. I know that you have been having trouble with Shuang'er recently, but I also know that Shuang'er's temperament is harder than a stone. I've already scolded her, tell her to think about how to be a person, don't just think about being a wife, but forget that she is a person. You can rest assured that she will not trouble you again in the future. ”

Xiao Shiji was even more uneasy in his heart, and glanced at Du Xiancheng again, but Du Xiancheng was obviously more experienced than him, and he couldn't see what he was thinking at all.

"Don't believe me. I mean it. Although I am very fond of frost, I never show mercy when it is time to beat and scold. Du Xiancheng was very ashamed.

Xiao Shiji pursed his lips in his heart, and secretly said that your old man will blow it, Shuang'er's mouth is deflated, your old man runs faster than a rabbit, and immediately uses eighteen kinds of martial arts to make the little girl burst into tears......

"Do you really not believe it? Alas, you must know that if you do something wrong, you will be punished, whoever it is. Even if you are my son-in-law, I will not tolerate it. It's the same for everyone, including myself. After speaking, Du Xiancheng let out a long sigh and raised his eyes to look at the sky outside the window.

"Shiji, do you know the way? The most wrong thing I did in my life was to leave my wife and children behind and go overseas alone to find a paradise. Back then, I was as young as you are now. I didn't realize that the best place in the world was my home. As long as the family is together, even if you are in hell, it is better than heaven. Unfortunately, I was wrong. So I spent my whole life making up for it. - Shiji, I hope you don't make my mistakes, and then spend the rest of your life regretting it. There is nothing more important in this world than your beloved wife and children. If you feel like there's something more important, it's because you haven't tasted loss yet. ”
