Long Xiangye held the gilt bronze hand stove painted with gold on a blue background and said with a smile: "You are the master mother of this family, who do you want to talk to, who dares to say the word 'no'?" - Go, go, you don't have to ask me for instructions. ”

Du Hengshuang smiled, didn't go to his heart, bent his knees and blessed, and left Xuanrong Hall with Zhihua's hand.

Knowing the number, he went to the wing room where Aunt Jin and Chen Yuejiao lived.

When I came to the wing, I only saw Aunt Jin doing needlework on the kang in the house, and Chen Yuejiao didn't even see a shadow.

"Sister Zhishu is stepping on the ground, I don't know what to order?" Aunt Jin saw that it was the big girl beside Du Hengshuang who knew the number, so she hurriedly put down the work in her hand and asked diligently.

Zhishu put his hand on his waist and saluted, and said, "Aunt Jin, our young grandmother wants to talk to Little Lady Chen, but unfortunately Little Lady Chen is not there. ”

Aunt Jin lives in the Xiao family, and she originally wanted to have a good relationship with Du Hengshuang. She can see that although Du Hengshuang is not happy with the old lady, she is the person in Uncle Xiao's heart, and she is the original match, and now she is pregnant again, in this family, the status of the old lady is not as good as before, and she will have to rely on this young grandmother in the future. They are orphans and widows, and there are many places to ask for help, where do they dare to snub Du Hengshuang? Busy said: "I don't know what the young grandmother said?" Can I do it in the past? ”

Zhishu thought about it for a while, and then agreed, "Then trouble Aunt Jin to run with the slave maid to see what the young grandmother means." ”

Aunt Jin straightened her skirt and followed Zhishu along the verandah to the main courtyard.

Du Hengshuang returned to his main room from Xuanrong Hall and took off the mink fur on his body. Walk into the warm pavilion and sit down.

This year's winter has been really cold. Although Du Hengshuang was wearing a silk jacket, a silver rat jacket, and a gray squirrel skin skirt, she also wore a mink fur coat on her body, a mink hair Guanyin pocket on her head, and a warm tube in her hand.

Sitting in the warm pavilion where he had caged the earth dragon and burned the fire wall, Du Hengshuang breathed a sigh of relief, and took a small sip of the stomach soup brought to her by Ou Yangniang.

After a bowl of hot soup, she felt that her frozen limbs came to life again.

"It's been too cold this year. The subordinates in the house gave each person an extra fifty catties of charcoal. Each person added an extra sheepskin jacket, and the older ones should not be on duty, but kept at home. Let's wait for the beginning of spring to send out work. Du Hengshuang thought of the people in the house. He commanded again. She wears a variety of silver rats, grey squirrels, and mink furs. They were all so cold that they couldn't speak, and the people who wore only a cotton jacket worked outside all day. How can you stand it?

The Xiao family is a charitable and generous family, and she also wants to accumulate blessings for Xiao Shi and his good deeds, and bless him to return victorious on the battlefield.

Zhihua said with a smile: "The young grandmother is so kind-hearted, and the house is praised up and down." ”

Du Hengshuang pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't choose all the good things to say, I also compare my heart to my heart." The next person is also a human being, and he came out to say that our Xiao family is mean and unkind, and it is not good if someone dies. ”

Zhihua went down to spread the word, and ordered the housekeeper's daughter-in-law to go to the treasury to register and get things and send them down.

The descendants of the Xiao family were naturally grateful to Du Hengshuang for three points.

It's not that there are no people who treat their subordinates generously, but there are not many masters like Du Hengshuang who really think about the life and death of their subordinates.

Even the chief manager Xiao Yi of the outer courtyard heard about this, and secretly admired Du Hengshuang's hand of "buying people's hearts" without a trace.

Only the big shopkeeper of the outer courtyard, Wu Cheng of the Golden Abacus, heard about this and did not praise Du Hengshuang with everyone. His nephew Wu Yong, who finally didn't survive this cold winter a few days ago, died in the house outside.

He only has such a descendant in his life, but because of Du Hengshuang, he is gone. He didn't dare to be jealous of Xiao Shiji, so he had to put this account on Du Hengshuang's head.

When he returned to his house, he ordered food and wine to be brought, and he ate and drank for himself, and then he fell to sleep.

In the inner courtyard of the Xiao family, at this time, many people went to Du Hengshuang's courtyard to kowtow and thank him.

Aunt Jin waited for these people to disperse, and then followed Zhishu into the house, saluted Du Hengshuang with a smile, and praised: "Grandma Da Young is really a bodhisattva." Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and the eldest young grandmother is also accumulating good fortune for the little young master in her belly. ”

Du Hengshuang listened to her thoughts, and was much kinder to Aunt Jin than before, smiled and asked her to sit down, and said angrily to Zhishu: "I asked you to invite Little Lady Chen to come over and talk, why do you bother Aunt Jin and her old man to go on a trip in person?" ”

Aunt Jin hurriedly stood up and said, "Grandma Da Shao, I'm worried that you have something important, if you miss Grandma Da Shao's matter, it won't be good, so I rashly begged to come along, and it has nothing to do with Sister Zhishu." ”

Du Hengshuang couldn't bear it when she saw Aunt Jin looking so scared. In the end, it is a relative, an old man, and an elder, speaking seriously, he put on a score like this, but he was rude, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Aunt Jin, sit down." You are an elder, so you don't have to be so polite. "I ordered the maid to serve tea.

Aunt Jin took the sweet white porcelain begonia pattern tea bowl from the little maid's hand, and saw that Du Hengshuang was smiling, not looking angry, so she put down her heart, sat down, took a sip of tea soup, and praised: "Grandma Da Shao has a good tea face here." ”

Du Hengshuang turned the soup bowl in his hand, but smiled silently.

After Aunt Jin finished drinking tea, Du Hengshuang said: "Aunt Jin, you have been in the Xiao family for so long, I haven't spoken to you, I am too lazy, please forgive me." After speaking, he bowed his head slightly and apologized.

Aunt Jin put down the tea bowl and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "What did the young grandmother say?" We are helpless and run away, the young grandmother does not dislike us, and we are already very content with good food and clothing. ”

Du Hengshuang listened to Aunt Jin's words, but she was a good look. Although she had some problems with her before, she was a woman, and she relied on her mother-in-law Long Xiangye to stay, and she kept talking to Long Xiangye, and it was impossible to do anything.

took away most of the previous bad feelings, and chatted with Aunt Jin for a long time and a short time.

Aunt Kim's chatterbox was opened, and she was also a talkative person.

From her words, Du Hengshuang knew about the situation of their Chen family.

It turned out that Aunt Jin's husband's family ran a pharmacy. Originally, it was also a well-off home. A family of three lives on a small pharmacy, which can be regarded as a happy one.

It's just that somehow later, he was accused of selling counterfeit drugs, and was taken to prison by the magistrate, and like Xiao Xiangsheng, he died in prison before the trial began.

Aunt Jin and Chen Yuejiao were squeezed by the people in their hometown and couldn't stand it, so they came to Chang'an to join their relatives.

"I just didn't expect that my sister and brother-in-law also suffered. There was no way, so we had to vote for our niece. Aunt Kim said. and wipe away the tears.

Du Hengshuang hurriedly said: "Quickly wipe the silk with Aunt Jin's tears." "And comfort her." Aunt Jin, don't be sad, the past is all in the past, I don't know what your plans are in the future? Mrs. Chen is also thirteen years old after the New Year, right? ”

The maid on the side hurriedly carried a plate with a plain white silk on it.

Aunt Kim took it and wiped away her tears. Thank you Du Hengshuang. pondered Du Hengshuang's intentions in his heart. I don't know what she wants to do when she mentions this matter, so she half-spit and half-reveal it: "Don't hide it from the young grandmother." I'm trying to find a good husband for Jiao'er. But we are penniless, our family background is ruined, and there is really no decent family who can look down on our family. - And Jiao'er, this child, has a good heart and sincerity, especially admits death, others treat her well, she can't wait to be very good to others, such a good child, I can't bear to wronged her. I wonder if Grandma Lu Dao has any ideas? ”

Du Hengshuang lowered his head, took a bamboo skewer to pick the ashes in the stove, had an idea in his heart, looked up and said with a smile: "It is indeed difficult to find." But if you want to, it's almost the same to recruit a son-in-law. ”

Aunt Jin hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No need, no need, we won't recruit trouble." As long as Jiao'er can live well in this life, I can do anything. ”

It's really a motherly feeling.

Du Hengshuang sighed in her heart, didn't say anything for a while, and as soon as the words changed, she asked: "Aunt Jin, your Jiao'er is not young, but do you have any plans?" ”

Aunt Jin has been worried lately, it's not that she hasn't thought about it, but after thinking about it, she can't make up her mind. If her family is still the same as before, she is reluctant to let her daughter become a concubine. - Whether it is for Xiao Shiji or Xiao Taiji, she is reluctant.

But if they don't become concubines, what good family can they marry in terms of their family background?

She also knew that although the rich concubine was a little worse, it was better to live at home than a poor wife who relied on her own hands to eat every day.

And the two masters of the Xiao family, she has lived under the same roof with them for so long, and she also knows each other well.

Xiao Tai and that posture, even she can't look down on it, but Xiao Shiji is good. But the lady in front of her didn't know if she was getting along well.

Hearing Du Hengshuang keep asking her what her plans were for Chen Yuejiao's life, Aunt Jin also pondered what Du Hengshuang meant.

Could it be that Du Hengshuang took a fancy to Jiao'er and wanted to take her with her to raise her, and when Chen Yuejiao was ready, she would open her face and be an aunt? - This was also experienced by many families in the previous Great Zhou, just like raising children and daughters-in-law. However, the difference is that this is the concubine room raised by Mrs. Zhengfang for her husband, and she is completely trained by herself, which is called "child concubine".

If Du Hengshuang really planned it like this, it would be a beautiful thing with all four corners.

Jiao'er is smart and clever, raised by the grandmother, and naturally has her heart towards her, and she is the lady's confidant.

Besides, although the young grandmother and the uncle are so good now, everyone knows that men are impermanent. Even if you marry a fairy, you will be happy to leave it behind for three or five years, and then carry a new color, and the young and tender aunt will enter the door.

The young grandmother wants to take Chen Yuejiao with her to raise her, what a rainy day!

There is a big age difference between her Jiao'er and her uncle, and when the eldest and youngest grandmothers are old, Jiao'er is the same age as Jiaohua, which is just used to compete for favor with the aunt who came in behind. And he often serves by the side of the eldest and youngest grandmother, the uncle watched her grow up, and the affection was different, and he took the house in the future and had another son, and he was on a par with the eldest and youngest grandmother. I don't have to move out of the house, I have been living in the Xiao family, and Long Xiangye can't stand up in front of him.

Thinking of this, Aunt Jin couldn't help but secretly praise, "Good plan!" The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I understood Du Hengshuang's intentions. Looking at her bulging belly again, I felt that what I was thinking was really inseparable, so I coughed and said with a smile: "Grandma, why don't I train Jiao'er for you." You take her by your side and let her go east. She didn't dare to go west, let her stand up, she didn't dare to sit down. Rubbing the circle and pinching it flat, it all depends on the words of the young grandmother. - No matter what the grandmother wants her to do, she will obey everything. ”

When Du Hengshuang heard Aunt Jin's words, she couldn't help but be stunned for a while, stroked her forehead and sighed, "Aunt Jin laughed." Your daughter is not a slave, what is the matter with me? Besides, I'm pregnant now, and I can't take care of it myself, so how can I have time to teach other people's children? - Don't hide it from Aunt Kim. Even Sister Yanran, I don't have the kung fu to teach. I thought that Aunt Jin was going to let Chen Yuejiao follow her to learn the rules. Learn to be a housekeeper.

Ou Yangniang heard Aunt Jin's words next to her, and couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

Du Hengshuang didn't hear the meaning of Aunt Jin's words, but Ou Yangniang was clear, so she sneered a few times in her heart. - This old pious woman. What a good idea. Looking at the people around our grandmothers, they are all dead!

Ou Yangniang endured her anger. stepped forward with a smile, poured a glass of warm water for Du Hengshuang, and advised: "The young grandmother has been talking for a long time. Be careful with thirst. Then he looked back at Aunt Jin, who was sitting on the brocade with a smug face, and said, "Sister-in-law of the Chen family, what did you say, some of our young grandmothers are called by maids, what do you want to bring the daughters of relatives with you to raise them?" It's not a five- or six-year-old child. - Thirteen-year-old girl, who is about to get married, and serves in our grandmother's room, what is your old man's idea? ”

Aunt Jin said curtly: "If you take it with you, it doesn't have to be a maid." Our Jiao'er is the most honest, who is good to her, she remembers it, and she will repay the young grandmother twice in the future. Saying that, he muttered again: "Anyway, we want to enter the people, we Jiao'er knows the roots, and we are the daughters of good families, isn't it more reassuring than buying outside?" ”

Du Hengshuang understood what Aunt Jin meant, and was a little ridiculous, so she simply smiled: "Since this is the case, why don't I help your girl be a matchmaker." Dowry or something, you don't have to worry. Since you are the maiden relatives of the second brother and sister, and you have defected to us as individuals, you will naturally not be wronged, and you will definitely let your Jiao'er marry from our Xiao family, what do you think? ”

As he spoke, he put down the teacup and wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk, "My mother's family has a child and a maid, even if she wants to accept the house, she will not beat the idea of a relative's girl." Aunt Jin, when you say this, where are you really going to put me? This is going to get out of the way, do I still want to be a man? Do we still want to be an official? ”

When Aunt Jin heard this, her whole body was half cold.

It turned out that the other party didn't have the idea of taking Jiao'er into the house.

Aunt Jin sat there, her face suddenly blank.

Du Hengshuang saw that Aunt Jin had the original idea, and she no longer had the heart to deal with her, this kind of person was still in the house, she was causing trouble for herself, so she took out a deed that she had prepared a long time ago, and said: "Aunt Jin, since Mrs. Chen is about to discuss marriage, it is not good to live in someone else's house all the time." This is a two-entry house in Xinchang Fang, although the place is not big, but the location is good, single-door detached household, the surrounding neighbors are businessmen, you live in the past, where it is good to find the right person to discuss relatives. When the New Year is over, you can move in. We will not keep you, so as not to delay the great event of your little lady's life, but our sin. ”

This is directly going to drive people out.

Aunt Kim's face turned red all of a sudden.

But the other party threw out such a big bait, she couldn't refuse it if she wanted to.

Having her own house in Chang'an City, where every inch of land is valuable, is simply her dream all along.

Aunt Jin couldn't help but take the deed and take a look, and when she saw that it was her name written on it, she couldn't put it down.

Back in her wing room in Xuanrong Hall, Aunt Jin saw that Chen Yuejiao had come back from the second room, and was sitting on the kang to make shoes, so she took out the deed and showed it to her, and said with a smile: "Jiao'er, we also have our own house!" ”

"What house?" Chen Yuejiao inexplicably took the deed and looked at it, "Where did this come from?" ”

Chen Yuejiao listened to Aunt Jin's story, looked at the deed again, her face became more and more pale, her hands trembled and snatched the deed from Aunt Jin's hand, and said stiffly: "Mother, we can't have this house!" With that, he turned around and walked out of the wing room and went to Du Hengshuang's main courtyard.
