"You know that Da Zhou is already rotten, and he is not the opponent of the Qi family at all, and it is only a matter of time before the Qi family takes the throne. Your mother won the favor of Emperor Dezhen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and our Xu family ...... I also thought about swearing allegiance to Da Zhou. Do you know that the words 'chaotic ministers and thieves' are not affordable for everyone. Xu Shao sighed, stood in front of the fine-edged lattice window sash in the study with his hands behind his back, and looked at the blazing summer scene outside the window.

Many willow trees are planted around the yard, and the green willows are weeping and shady, covering the rectangular front yard with shade.

Under the large black velvet purple famous peony in front of the corridor at the entrance of the study, there is a snow-white Persian cat, lazily motionless and enjoying the shade.

Xu Shao's brows furrowed, and he commanded in a deep voice outside the window: "This is Xue'er's cat, why did no one come here to look for it?" There was anger in his voice.

The servant who was waiting in the courtyard of the study trotted out from under the eaves, picked up the Persian cat who was enjoying the shade under the peony flowers, and replied with a sweaty head: "The little one is gone, I hope the lord will forgive the sin!" ”

Daqi pays attention to "men don't keep cats, women don't raise dogs", so that others can see that there are Persian cats in the men's outer yard, just like being seen that there are large watchdogs in the inner courtyard of female dependents.

Xu Shao snorted, closed the window, and sat back on the bamboo couch.

"My mother is just the lord of the county, not a princess, even if she is the princess of Da Zhou, she is only a monk in the nunnery now......" Xu Yanhui was shocked by Xu Shao's words, but still a little unconvinced. There are so many noble relatives in the Great Zhou. It's not for nothing that they voted for Cheng Daqi early, and it's not too late for them to vote for the Xu family......

Xu Shao picked up the teacup, took a sip of herbal tea, and groaned for a long time, feeling that he should still mention a word to him, lest he not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, and cause trouble in the future.

"Your mother was originally just the county lord, but she fell into someone else's trick and intervened in a piece if it shook out. It is a great mistake that can make us destroy our family. It's a pity that when I knew the Tao. It's already a step too late. Your mother took her county lord's seal and used her mother's manpower to help chase down a person who shouldn't be hunted down. The man was blessed with a great life, and was rescued from the city. Your mother knows that the assassination failed. Only then did he save the heart of death. He began to discuss with me about finding a house. "It's been a long time. Xu Shao still doesn't know whether his original decision was right or wrong.

Xu Yanhui was taken aback, "Who?!" Unless it's ....... Otherwise, how could there be a crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family? Although Xu Yanhui did not say the words "the current emperor", Xu Shao had already heard the meaning of his words.

"Not the person you think, but it's almost ....... In short, that person is not dead, and your mother will be pushed out as a scapegoat at any time, so your mother has only one way to die. After careful consideration, we chose Fang Yuniang to fill the house. ”

Xu Yanhui showed a look of disdain, and seemed to disagree with Xu Shao's statement.

"Of course, there are many women who meet your mother's screening conditions, but Fang Yuniang is the most beautiful one. Men are all lustful, and if possible, I pick the most beautiful one, and everyone will be happy, so why not? Besides, Fang Yuniang came from a humble background, her mother's family can be regarded as completely absent, she married in, there is no obstacle to the two of you brothers at all, only the two of you are disgusted with her, she can't pinch you at all. Second, although she came from a humble background, she has a lot of money. Although our Xu family is not greedy for her family wealth, but she is rich herself, she will not fight the idea of our Xu family's property, let alone covet your mother's dowry. There are many incidents in the family, in addition to fighting for power, that is, profit. And Fang Yuniang, not only will she not take away the profits of our family, but she also expects me to take care of their Du family's business, which is actually a mutually beneficial and cooperative relationship for the two of us. Third, Fang Yuniang herself has a good character, and she is spicy and capable, so she doesn't care about her, as long as she doesn't count her, she won't turn her face with you. To be honest, living with her is more comfortable than living with your mother. Xu Shao said very frankly.

He values beauty, but he also values Fang Yuniang's character. Of course, there are also reasons for her own family background, which determined that at that time, she was Xu Shao's best candidate to fill the house.

"Also, if I marry a remarried merchant's wife to fill the house, I can also greatly reassure the King of Qi at that time, and I will not be involved with the old dynasty again, nor will I be in the same mood as those new upstarts. It is a matter of mutual benefit. ”

Xu Shao saw that Xu Yanhui's face gradually straightened up, and his heart was relieved, and he didn't need to say the deepest meaning. Anyway, Fang Yuniang has already become his house-filler, and Du Hengshuang is also going to marry into the Xiao family, and their Xu family has at least one layer of protection. There is also that Xiao Shihe is a six-rank Xiao cavalry captain at a young age, what is the reason in the middle, others don't know what to do, but Xu Shao knows it.

Xu Yanhui gradually understood, sat on the mahogany chair with his head drooped, and was silent for a long time before he said, "I understand." Since my mother is kind to our Xu family, I know what to do. ”

In the past, he never refused to call Fang Yuniang "mother", and even owed the word "wife", but now he changed his name to "mother", Xu Shaozhi said that this time, he really listened.

Xu Shao nodded with satisfaction, "You are ready to study, and if you marry at the end of the year, you must also restrain your daughter-in-law and don't look for your stepmother's bad luck." If you make a fuss, you will be separated from each other directly. ”

Xu Yanhui was completely said to have no temper. If he separates from the family, he will be a white body, what will he do to walk around in front of people? Even Xiao Shiji is not as good.

Although in some families, the daughter-in-law has passed the door, and the mother-in-law is no longer in charge of family affairs, but the Xu family is different. The family is completely supported by Xu Shao alone, Xu Shao is also in the prime of life, and Fang Yuniang is even younger. And looking at Xu Shao's meaning, he still asked Fang Yanniang to continue to be in charge, although he Xu Yanhui is the eldest son, it also depends on whether he has a future interest, otherwise, Xu Shao can use the family's resources to cultivate the most promising son.

Anyway, I have two younger brothers under me.

Thinking like this, Xu Yanhui had to bury his mind deeper, stood up and said respectfully: "Thank you dad for your teachings, I know what to do." ”

repeatedly vouched for Xu Shao. is also ruthless to make a career to glorify the ancestors.

Xu Shao smiled as he listened, and waved his hand to let Xu Yanhui go.

Xu Yanhui had just walked out of the courtyard of Xu Shao's study, but saw Du Hengxue walking over briskly with a flushed face, and took his Persian cat from the servant in the study.

"Xuetuan, how did you get here? I've been looking for you all morning......" Du Hengxue lifted the Persian cat in surprise and rubbed its soft and snow-white body on his face.

Xu Yanhui was about to turn around, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xu Yanbang coming from the corner of the rockery and standing in front of Du Hengxue to talk to her.

Du Hengxue seemed to have run out of the inner courtyard alone, and after the servant in the study handed over the cat, he went back quickly.

On the gravel path outside the study. Only Du Hengxue and Xu Yanbang could be seen.

Xu Yanhui thought for a moment. Still took a step back and hid in the shadows under the weeping willow trees on the courtyard wall.

Xu Yanbang grabbed Du Hengxue's arm, pulled her to the shade of the tree on the side, and scolded in a low voice: "Where are all your maids and daughters-in-law dead?" Let you run to the outer courtyard alone? Do you want a reputation anymore? ”

Du Hengxue's arm was dragged by Xu Yanbang and hurt. With tears in his eyes, he said, "They all went to see my sister's dowry." I was in a hurry. I couldn't wait for them to come over with me, so I went out to hunt for snow alone. As he spoke, he lifted the snow ball in his arms. said to Xu Yanbang: "It's all its fault, you scold it." ”

The little Persian cat didn't know that Lu Dao was used as a scapegoat, and meowed twice at Xu Yanbang flatteringly.

The anger on Xu Yanbang's face disappeared suddenly, and he couldn't help laughing.

He was born tough, although he was not as handsome as Xu Yanhui, but he was more manly, and now under a smile, he is much softer.

Du Hengxue has always been afraid of Xu Yanbang, and has never seen him smile, but now that he sees it, he can't help but laugh, and said cautiously: "Then I can go back now, right?" ”

Xu Yanbang didn't let go of her arm, dragged her to the second door together, and asked in a low voice as he walked: "I heard that your mother is looking for relatives for you, do you know which one Lu Dao has ordered?" ”

Du Hengxue's face flushed with shame all of a sudden, and she said in a low voice: "This kind of thing, how can I know this kind of thing as a girl?" The second son asked me what I was doing? ”

Xu Yanbang glanced at her, "I'm your second brother, called second brother!" After speaking, he snorted again, "I'm not your second brother, you should call me the second young master." ”

Du Hengxue pursed her lips inexplicably and muttered a few words.

"What did you say?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

"Remember, if your mother is good for you, remember to tell me, and I'll help you see each other." It was almost time to reach the second gate, Xu Yanbang stopped and let go of Du Hengxue's arm.

Du Hengxue sandwiched the Persian cat under her arm, touched her arm that was dragged by Xu Yanbang, and pouted: "My relatives, my own mother, and my sister are in charge, I just listen to them, they will not harm me." ”

Xu Yanbang sank his face, "How do you know that they won't harm you?" If they marry you off without asking about good people, isn't it harmful to you? ”

Du Hengxue also sank her face and said angrily: "Don't say bad things about my mother and my sister!" They will not harm me, I believe in them! - You're the bad guy, I don't want to talk to you! With that, he turned around and ran into the second gate.

Xu Yanbang flashed his body back, dodged the inquiring eyes of the mother-in-law who guarded the second gate, and stood in the root of the courtyard wall for a long time before returning to his courtyard step by step.

Du Hengxue was angry, and returned to the courtyard where she and her sister Du Hengshuang lived with the Persian cat, and saw a large group of slaves and maids scattering in all directions, and her maids and adoptive mothers were sweating profusely looking for themselves.

"My third miss, you can come back, I am dying of my wife." The adoptive mother walked up quickly and led Du Hengxue into the yard.

In the open space in the courtyard, Du Hengshuang's maid was registering the dowry, and in a few days, it would be carried to the Xiao family.

Her wedding to Xiao Shiji was half a month later.

As soon as Du Hengxue saw Du Hengshuang's busy figure, she forgot everything about what had just happened, and pounced on her to give Du Hengshuang ideas.

"Sister, this purse is too plain, let's change that magpie to Dengmei, it's a good omen."

"Sister, there are only twenty-eight sets of clothes in spring and autumn, too little......

"Sister, this set of camphor wood cages is the best for silk and satin, not afraid of insects."

"Sister, I added a box to my sister for this set of pink and purple pearls."

Du Hengshuang looked at Du Hengxue with a smile, and in a mixture of joy and busyness, he finally ushered in the day of his wedding.

The first night was at Xu's house, and it was also the last night at Du's house. Du Hengshuang insisted on not marrying from the Xu family, but returning to his Du family's house, and would marry from here the next day.

The Du family's house was originally sold when Fang Yuniang returned to Luoyang with her family.

But when they returned to Chang'an, Fang Yuniang didn't know what means she used, and bought this house back.

Du Hengxue doesn't have much impression of this place, but Du Hengshuang has a deep memory of this place.

"Dad, I'm getting married tomorrow. I am from the Du family, and I will marry from the Du family when I get married. Du Hengshuang put a pillar of incense on Du Xiancheng's tablet and kowtowed.

Fang Yuniang watched silently at the door, and waited for Du Hengshuang to finish kneeling before she said, "Shuang'er, let's go back to the room." Mother sleeps with you today. ”

When her daughter gets married, of course, the mother has to teach the confidential matters of the flower candles in the cave room. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please read it on m.biquge.info. )
