Long Xiangye's thoughts have turned so much, in fact, it is only a matter of a moment, and when he looks at Du Hengshuang again, the more he looks at it, the more he likes it. couldn't help but smile on his face, sincerely hugged Du Hengshuang, kissed her on the cheek, and took out a jade plate inlaid with gold and jade, and hung it around Du Hengshuang's neck, saying: "This is what our master gave me when he was hired at that time, saying that it will be the heirloom of the Xiao family in the future, and it will be passed on from generation to generation, and it will only be passed on to the eldest daughter-in-law who can be a clan wife." Take it well, and in the future, I will teach you how to be a sect woman who knows how to advance and retreat, no worse than those noble women! ”

Fang Yuniang smiled and hugged Du Hengshuang from Long Xiangye's arms, and gently stroked her head, "We Shuang'er, as long as we live a peaceful and happy life, we can be happy." ”

Long Xiangye chuckled, "That's right. As parents, of course, we want our children to be safe and happy for the rest of their lives. ”

Among the guests, a middle-aged Confucian in a blue shirt glanced at Fang Yuniang several times before turning his head casually, laughing with the people at the table next to him, and asking, "This Du family, but the Du family in East Xiao and West Du?" ”

"Xu Xiucai, you are all here to sit at the table, how can you not know who the master of the road is?!" A guest next to him was particularly surprised.

The person who came over with this blue-shirted Confucian was Xiao Xiangsheng's friend, and he hurriedly said: "Xu Xiucai just came to Chang'an from Luoyang, and it is not strange to follow me over to join in the fun." ”

"Oh? You're from Luoyang? The man became interested, "I heard that your Luoyang flower will be very famous." Luoyang peony is the best in the world, very powerful! ”

Xu Xiucai smiled and arched his hand: "Awards!" ”

The person who brought him came to his side and said in a low voice: "Xu Sima, I have neglected today, I hope you don't take it to heart." ”

Xu Xiucai said softly: "...... Here, I'm Xu Xiucai, don't call Sima. ”

After drinking a few glasses of wine, he said goodbye in advance with the man, and when he left, he couldn't help but look back at Fang Yuniang again.

"The woman holding the child is Du Xiancheng's wife?" Xu Xiucai looked very curious, "Born so beautiful, which high-ranking lady is it?" ”

The man who brought him smiled and said, "Where is the high gate?" It is the daughter of the Fang family in Fang City. We are small households, just trying to live a comfortable life. Marrying an ordinary family is much better than a black-eyed chicken from a wealthy family fighting with that group of people. ——The Fang family married their daughter to Du Yuanwai, and they really love their daughter. ”

Xu Xiucai laughed twice, stopped making a sound, followed back to the inn where he lived, and went back to Luoyang the next day.

His serious identity is Sima of Luoyang City, managing the internal and external affairs of Luoyang, and he is also secretly summoned to meet the new emperor Emperor Dezhen.

Inside the Du house, the feast and drink are in full swing.

Xiao Xiangsheng was happy in his heart, and said loudly to the guests in the house: "Today is also the engagement gift of my Xiao family and the Du family!" ——Someone, book a hundred tables of banquets for me to Xinfeng Building, send them to Du's house, and invite all relatives and friends to eat flowing water banquets. Let's eat for three days and three nights, and we won't get drunk or go home! ”

Everyone applauded, and asked people to go back to report the news and send another table gift.

It was Du Hengshuang's gift of catching Zhou, and now it is the engagement gift of the eldest daughter of the Du family and the eldest son of the Xiao family. These two are the big salt merchants in Chang'an City, and they are also the objects that many people are eager to tie up, but they have never had a chance.

Now that Dongxiao Xidu has become a family, it can be regarded as a good story.

In the midst of joy, Du Xiancheng's two widowed sisters-in-law, Tian and Sun, were so angry that their faces turned white. Especially Sun, a piece of brocade handkerchief in her hand was about to be crushed by her.

"Huh? What age is too young to get engaged right now? Why didn't he think the eldest son of the Xiao family was too young when he was ordered to his daughter? - It's obviously favoritism. Our Heng'e, which point is worse than the fat Du Hengshuang?! Sun was indignant and pulled Tian to complain constantly.

Tian's face was also not good-looking.

Du Xiancheng had just rejected her proposal for his nephew, and under the guise that the child was too young to marry early, he turned around and ordered his one-year-old daughter the eldest son of the Xiao family.

Bah! - It's just that she hates the poor and loves the rich, and looks down on her mother's family.

When Fang Yuniang was about to leave the flower hall with Du Hengshuang in her arms, she caught a glimpse of the resentment that the Tian family and the Sun family had no time to hide, smiled slightly, shook the handkerchief in their hands at them, and said hello, and went back to the backyard to go to the room surrounded by a group of maids.

The Du family was lively for a whole day.

In the evening, when the guests finally left, Du Xiancheng returned to the bedroom and saw Fang Yuniang sitting in front of the dresser combing her hair, and asked with a smile, "Where is Shuang'er?" ”

Fang Yuniang pouted at their thousand-handed, one-third of a room's size.

"The little ancestor was too excited today and refused to go to sleep. My adoptive mother couldn't coax her, so I brought her over and simply slept with us today. ”

Du Xiancheng was very happy, "I'll go change my clothes, and then go and hug her." I drank outside for a day today, and I was full of alcohol. So saying, he went behind the screen and took off his robe and changed into the clothes he wore in the house.

Fang Yuniang walked around the house with Du Hengshuang in her arms, humming a soft lullaby in her mouth, coaxing her to sleep.

Seeing Du Xiancheng come in, Fang Yuniang finally asked about what she had been hiding for a day.

"Didn't you say that the child is still young and can't be engaged so early?"

Du Xiancheng took Du Hengshuang from Fang Yuniang's arms with pity on his face, shook his arm lightly, and said with a light smile: "What is this?" Let's see something good, let's settle down first. In the future, if that kid grows crooked, we don't want him, kick him, and then go to find a good one. "I don't want to suffer at all.

Fang Yuniang turned her anger into joy at this time, and gently pushed him, "It's better for you to think like this." I'm also worried about your reputation, even if that child is not good in the future, you have to force Shuang'er to marry. - If that's the case, I don't care, I take Shuang'er back to my parents' house, and I don't recognize you as a father again! ”

Du Xiancheng smiled: "How can I let our children suffer? At present, Brother Ji'er is indeed a good person, let's settle him down first. In this way, we can attack and retreat. If I really don't succeed with my brother in the future, even if I have a good relationship with Brother Xiao, I still have to withdraw from the marriage. ”

Fang Yuniang covered her mouth and smiled, "Brother Xiao probably won't disagree." But sister-in-law Xiao is not necessarily, when the time comes, the moral reputation will be full, it depends on how you deal with it. "The sister-in-law Xiao in Fang Yuniang's mouth is Long Xiangye, Xiao Xiangsheng's wife.

Du Xiancheng sent Du Hengshuang, who had fallen asleep with his shaking, into Fang Yuniang's arms, "I'm going to bathe." To withdraw from the marriage, it is not a sentence from Brother Xiao. Hasn't sister-in-law Xiao always flaunted herself as virtuous and virtuous? Still don't listen to Brother Xiao honestly? ”

The two of them talked with a smile and were very harmonious.
