Chapter 45: Hands-on
Speaking of Xiao Shiji, the edges and corners of Du Hengshuang's body seemed to have softened.
With a thin smile on the corner of her mouth, Du Hengshuang nodded slightly, "What the adoptive mother said makes sense." After speaking, he looked at the scenery outside the car window and worried, "When I was born, my brother and I came to Luoyang once a year, but I didn't come this year." I brought a letter to ask, but there was no reply, I was really sad, and I don't know what happened to their family. โ
Ou Yangniang's face also added sadness, and she nodded: "Exactly." I think of Master Xiao, when I came to Luoyang for the first time, I walked on two legs, and I walked for a full month, and when I arrived at our house, I was like a flower child, and the eldest lady recognized him at a glance and let him in. At that time, the Xiao family had not yet been in the mood, and he came to celebrate the eldest lady's birthday, and he had carved a wooden hairpin by himself, but fortunately, he still picked a good agarwood. With this heart, the money will not be changed. โ
Du Hengxue had been thinking in her heart that after returning home for a while, she would find an opportunity to plead with the second young master and ask him not to tell his father about his sister's situation, but now when she heard Ou Yangniang mention Brother Xiao, she also followed with a smile: "Brother Xiao is fine." I remember that when Brother Xiao came to Luoyang the second year, he was much neatly dressed, and he still came with the team. What I gave to my sister was a silver hairpin, carved in the style of butterfly love flowers, so attentive, the butterflies' whiskers were drawn with silver wire, coiled up one by one. My sister is still a treasure. Back then, I was ignorant, my eyes were greedy, crying and shouting to ask my sister for it, and my sister gave me everything, but she didn't give me the silver hairpin. โ
Du Hengshuang also smiled, and two blushes flew on his cheeks. "Do you want it now? I can give it to you right now if I want. โ
Du Hengxue stuck out her tongue, "I don't dare to ask for it." I was ignorant when I was a child, in fact, I didn't particularly like the hairpin, it just looked good. โ
Du Hengshuang took out the silver hairpin from his sleeve pocket, handed it to Du Hengxue and said, "If you really want it, you can take it now." I'm not going to be mad about that again. Besides, between me and my brother, we don't need these things to prove anything. The gift he gave was his heart. All I have to do is understand his heart. The purpose of sending this hairpin. And that's it. As for what he gave me, it was mine, and it was my business to give it to whomever I wanted. It has nothing to do with him. โ
Du Hengxue chuckled and shook her head. "Sister. I really don't want to. I don't particularly like it, and besides, even if I like it very much. I wouldn't ask my brother-in-law to make something with his own hands, so what would it look like? โ
Du Hengshuang was surprised: "Isn't it like this?" She didn't think much of it.
Ou Yangniang smiled and shook her head, "It's really not good, and hairpins are not ordinary things." Think about it, what would happen to you if Young Master Xiao gave him the shoes you gave him to other men to wear? โ
Du Hengshuang bit her lower lip, knowing that her proposal just now was indeed a little inappropriate, her face flushed, and she solemnly put away the silver hairpin in her hand.
Ou Yangniang knew the reason, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Du Hengshuang has especially cherished her soft-natured sister over the years. After her mother personally remarried, most of her energy was put into her newborn brother, as well as her stephusband, and the housekeeping of the entire Sima Mansion, and she could not care more about their sisters than before. Du Hengshuang doesn't care, she is already sensible, and her sister is still young, so to a certain extent, she has assumed the role of father and mother for this sister, as if she brought it up single-handedly.
Like many parents, they can't wait to give her all the good things.
Fortunately, Du Hengxue is also very well-behaved and sensible, and she is also very attached to this sister. If my sister likes it, she likes it. What my sister hates, she hates to the core. I won't do anything that makes my sister unhappy.
Like some people, the fight between sisters for family wealth and men is incredible, in Du Hengxue's opinion. For her, the most important person in her heart is her sister. Even her future husband can't say that her sister is half bad.
Du Hengshuang also knew that Du Hengxue listened to her, so she didn't want her sister to be wronged even more. The two sisters depend on each other, and they have been in the back of Sima Mansion for four years.
Ou Yangniang knows that the Xiao family business is now revived, even stronger than when the master of the Xiao family was alive, of course, she is not worried that Du Hengshuang will have to endure hardships when she marries, but she doesn't know how the Xiao family got rid of the fate of being persecuted by the nobles back then.
"Miss, the next time Young Master Xiao comes to see you, why don't you ask him, what is he doing now, do you need our Sima Mansion to help you with one or two?" Ou Yangniang tentatively mentioned Du Hengshuang.
"Don't!"
Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue said in unison.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Ou Yangniang had no choice but to put it aside.
Back at Sima's Mansion, Du Hengshuang told Du Hengxue and his subordinates not to mention today's incident to Mrs. Sima, so as not to make her feel useless.
As a result, as soon as they entered the house, trouble came by themselves.
Xu Shao's two concubines were going to Fang Yuniang's side to say goodbye, and when they went out, they saw Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue walking over from the verandah with the maid.
"Second Miss, Fourth Miss." The maids brought by Du Hengshuang were busy saluting the two concubines.
They were originally the eldest and second ladies of Sima Mansion, because Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue married in with her mother, and they were slightly older than them, so they became the second and fourth misses.
When the two concubines didn't see Du Hengshuang's subordinates greeting them, they squeezed each other's eyes, stood motionless at the entrance of the cloister, and said to the other with a smile: "Sister, the ba'er dog I raised would have stood up yesterday to make a fuss for others." Would you like to come along? โ
The other nodded and said, "Sister is amazing, even a dog can be trained to give people a trick." โ
"But no, even if you have a dog, after a long time, it is also sensible, and it knows how to protect the master, and it also knows how to repay it. Unlike some people, who are provided with fine clothes and food in other people's homes, but they can't support their families, they run out at every turn, and the reputation of our Sima Mansion has been lost by them! The older maid shook her handkerchief, covered her mouth and giggled, very proud.
Du Hengshuang's willow eyebrows were upside down, and he immediately retorted: "The dog looks like a master, so he knows that he is flattering, and if he doesn't make a gun for people with a shy face, he can't live anymore." After speaking, he turned back to Du Hengxue and said, "Sister, remember." Some people are like dogs, if you don't hit her, she will chase and bite you, and make you annoyed. If you annoy us, you might as well subdue them once, and you won't dare to make trouble in the future. โ
"Who are you scolding a dog?" The younger fourth lady couldn't hold her breath in the end, so she stepped forward and pushed Du Hengxue.
Du Hengxue didn't prevent them from really making a move, they were pushed back a few steps and fell to the ground.
The hand-copied verandah was paved with fine stones, and as soon as Du Hengxue fell to the ground, the delicate palm was immediately scratched, leaving a few traces of blood on the ground.
Du Hengshuang hurriedly turned around to help her up, stood up and glared at the fourth young lady, and said coldly: "I wrote down this account." Let's go back to Master Sima's commentary! As he spoke, he wanted to quickly help Du Hengxue back to the room to deal with her hand injury.
The two concubines saw that Du Hengxue saw blood, and their faces were also a little pale, and they were hesitating, and a coughing sound came from the other end of the verandah, and it was Xu Shao's eldest son, Xu Yanhui, who walked over with his hand in his hand.
"Big brother!"
"Big brother!"
The two concubines hurriedly surrounded them, looking worried.
Xu Yanhui's voice was colder than Du Hengshuang's voice: "I saw everything just now." Your sister accidentally bumped into someone else and fell to the ground by herself, isn't she going to sue my father? - My two younger sisters have always been knowledgeable and have never competed with others. You provoked them, and you still don't apologize?! โ
Du Hengshuang glared at Xu Yanhui angrily, and the fist in his hand was squeezed and released.
She had long known that these two concubines were just trying to get trouble with their sisters-in-law in order to tie up Xu Yanhui and Xu Yanbang, the two sisters-in-law.
His mother-in-law didn't dare to care about these two originally married sons-in-law, and besides, one of them was eighteen and one was fifteen, and they didn't have to take care of their mother-in-law for a long time.
Du Hengshuang took two deep breaths and calmed down, "Since the eldest young master said so, we will admit it." Who let us not be the Xu family, but live in the Xu family and eat the Xu family. The eldest young master can have a large number of adults, giving our sisters a way to live, and our sisters are grateful. But the eldest young master will be angry in the future, just look for me, don't hurt my sister. She was young and didn't understand anything. All the places that I can't live in are borne by me Du Hengshuang alone. - Bullying the weak is not done by a big husband! โ
tried his best to suppress his anger, just like a peony blooming wantonly, suddenly deceived by the rain and dew, and had to lower his arrogant head. It is more pitiful than the softness of those who have been low.
Xu Yanhui was unmoved, and he had already learned Du Hengshuang's sharp teeth, he grinned when he heard this, walked to Du Hengshuang's side, and reached out to lift her jaw, "This is a bit of a drag oil bottle." What's the use of being so domineering all the time? It's not like you're going to be killed by a man at that time! - Humph! If you come and serve me, I may make you a member of the Xu family......"
Du Hengshuang was so angry that he trembled all over, couldn't hold back any longer, and slapped him over.
Xu Yanhui's eyes were quick, he grabbed her wrist, pushed it out, and pushed Du Hengshuang onto the pillar.
"I warn you, next time, I'll just drag you away!"
After Xu Yanhui finished speaking, he dusted off his long shirt and walked away with a few small servants.
Xu Yanbang stood in front of the Moon Cave Gate from afar, and when he saw this scene, he wanted to fly over with his wings, but he was stopped by An Zichang.
"What did you do in the past? Do you have a fight with your big brother? โ
