Chapter 202: Determination (Pink 780, 810+)
Zhishu had never seen Sun Xu's stern face. Or maybe there had been before, but the face was not to her, but to the young lady.
At that time, she gloated at this countenance, but now she trembled with fear.
"Old lady, the slave is still pregnant...... Zhishu had to sacrifice the last life talisman.
Sun Xu said angrily: "Don't come with me to this set!" My son is so promising, how many grandchildren do you want to have it? Who is rare to be a cheap seed born of you, a cheap embryo! β
Sun Yaozu was unhappy when he heard it, and said in a long voice: "Motherββ! That's my son, why do you talk like that? β
Sun Xu straightened his waist and said with a majestic face: "Where did I say something wrong?" Or do you really care about the maidservant born to the maid? β
Sun Yaozu said with his hands behind his back: "No matter who gave birth to it, it is my species." Mother, they are all your grandchildren. β
"Can it be the same when you come out of your concubine? Are you stupid to study? Sun Xu was very unhappy. She raised Zhishu in order to respond to Du Hengxue, but she didn't really look at Zhishu's frivolous appearance.
Sun Yaozu looked at Tianguang, didn't want to be entangled anymore, and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, let's go and make breakfast." β
Zhishu had no choice but to walk into the kitchen step by step.
Looking at the black stove, she squatted down and tried a dozen times, but her face was covered with black and dust, and she couldn't catch fire.
Sun Yaozu was so hungry in the upper room that Venus was rising in front of him, and he couldn't wait to demolish the house.
Angry and came to the kitchen, he asked, "Do you make a roast tail feast?" Why is it almost an hour, and not a single breakfast has been made? β
Inside the kitchen. A man with a black face turned his head sideways, and said with a sad face: "Uncle, I haven't lit the fire yet......"
Sun Yaozu was so angry that he couldn't speak, turned around and left, and said loudly as he walked: "I won't eat it, I will buy it on the way!" β
When Sun Xu heard this, he quickly chased him out, and found that Sun Yaozu had already ridden away, so he stomped his feet at the door and said, "There is food at home." I also have to go out to buy food and spend money. What a loser......"
Then come to the kitchen. I saw Zhishu still squatting in front of the stove to light the fire.
Although I was very angry, I thought that if I didn't teach her, I would have to do these tasks by myself in the future.
Since Du Hengxue entered the door, Sun Xu felt that he should enjoy the blessings of his daughter-in-law. He let go and became a great treasurer.
And Du Hengxue used to be a girl at home. Didn't do any of these things. But she herself is smart by nature and attentive in learning, and Sun Xu gave a little pointer. She can draw inferences from one another, and she is so good at cooking that even the best banquet in the Zhuangyuan Building outside can't compare to her level.
Sun Xu's year has been really comfortable and happy, raising his eyebrows.
Suddenly being beaten back to his original form, returning to the days of cooking, laundry, tidying up the house, and sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard by himself, Sun Xu was very unaccustomed.
It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
It's true of everyone.
Sun Xu had no choice but to be patient and began to teach Zhishu and Qing'er to cook.
But Zhishu and Qing'er seem to be many times stupider than Du Hengxue, Sun Xu taught until Sun Yaozu came back from the yamen at night, and Zhishu and Qing'er didn't even learn to light a fire.
I don't know if Lu Dao is really stupid or fake stupid.
Sun Xu snorted in his heart, so he had to return to his old business and start making dinner.
Sun Zhengping had been hungry for a whole day, and he was already hungry, so he sat down and didn't say anything else, just picked up the food and ate it.
But after taking a bite, he spit it out, pointed to the blackened dish with his chopsticks and asked, "What is this?" β
Sun Xu took a look, "Stir-fry the chrysanthemum stalks." β
Sun Yaozu also tasted it, quickly spit it out, and said: "Mother, is our house out of oil, or out of salt, so faint, and a strange smell of burnt, how can people eat?" As he spoke, he muttered again: "The dishes made by Xue'er are many times better than this." β
Sun Xu was furious, knocked on the table with chopsticks and said, "You two are the opposite!" Lady, I have been doing this for more than ten years, don't you also eat happily? You haven't eaten my food for a year now, so you can't get used to it? - Hurry up and finish it for me! Otherwise, just wait for Cher to come back and you can eat again! β
Sun Yaozu looked at the dishes full of invisible colors on the table, he had no appetite at all, threw the chopsticks on the table with a snap, got up and said, "I'll go pick up Xue'er and go home." β
Zhishu and Qing'er stood in the corner of the house, looking at such a meal, and they had no appetite at all.
Sun Xu saw that these people didn't eat, so he also put a chopstick in his mouth, but chewed it for a long time before swallowing it.
The Sun family's dinner was unhappily dispersed, but thinking that Du Hengxue would be back soon, it didn't matter if he was hungry for a day.
Here, Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shihe finally returned to Xiao's house with the group.
Long Xiangye was supported by Long Shuzhi and Xiao Taihe, standing at the gate and looking forward to it. Xiao Yanran stood behind the three of them, keeping her head down, trying to keep a certain distance.
On the field under the steps of the gate, there was a row of people standing in the black press, first Xiao Yi, with Ou Yangniang, Zhishu, and the servants of a large house, who were also waiting for their return.
Seeing Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shihe getting out of the car with a child in their arms, Xiao Yi, Ou Yangniang and Zhishu took the lead and knelt down.
"Welcome Mrs. Hou home!" The sound resounded through the sky.
Du Hengshuang nodded with a smile, "Everyone has a heart." β
Long Xiangye had tears in her eyes, supported by Long Shuzhi and Xiao Taiji, walked down the steps quickly, came to Du Hengshuang's side, grabbed her arm and said, "Shuang'er, you're finally back." Then I knew that you were not dead. They say you've been taken captive by the exiles, and I don't believe it......"
Xiao Shihe's expression changed greatly, and he said sharply: "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Shuang'er was obviously deceived by Chen Yuejiao's slut to hide in Zhuangzi, and even His Majesty issued an order to apply for help, what does my mother mean by that? β
Long Xiang Ye Se shrank and muttered, "I also heard what people said, what are you yelling at me?"
Du Hengshuang's expression did not change, and he said with a smile: "Master Hou, I really don't blame my mother-in-law for this. The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, the mouth grows on others, and there is anything to say. You can't say a word from anyone else. We're going to be a needle. As soon as I came back, I heard that my mother-in-law had a lifelong engagement with someone. I was surprised, but I didn't believe a word. - unless the person can produce evidence like a marriage certificate. β
Long Xiangye's face suddenly became ugly, and the trace of color in the depths of his eyes disappeared without a trace. Her lips were pursed and she looked at Du Hengshuang in disbelief. - She threatened her! A daughter-in-law dares to threaten her mother-in-law!
Long Shuzhi pursed her lips beside her and said disdainfully: "Sister-in-law, do you really listen to what others say?" I don't know who else said it? - Don't you make it up yourself, sister-in-law, right? β
Du Hengshuang glanced at Long Shuzhi, "Who is this?" - Forgive me for being clumsy, I don't know. β
Long Shuzhi blushed. She was married to Siu Tai and two years. But a serious media is marrying. Later, she was a countess for a year, and now she has just "stepped down", and when she was full of discomfort, Du Hengshuang actually pretended not to know her!
Xiao Taiji didn't want his eldest brother and sister-in-law to make trouble as soon as they came back. Besides, they have to go to the Hou Mansion to live together. How can you still live if you are stiff? He played a round and said, "Big brother, sister-in-law." Let's go talk first. β
Du Hengshuang nodded, turned to Xiao Shiji and said, "Master Hou, I have already thought about it." After we move to the Hou Mansion, this old mansion will have to be cleaned up. The courtyard next to it should have been torn down to build a family temple. - The second brother and sister died unjustly, she has a spirit in heaven, and she must want to see the retribution of those who hurt her. We are both members of the Xiao family, so we can't be too favoritistic. The spiritual seat of the second brother and sister can be enshrined in the family temple, and if someone wants to do so in the future, they can clean up in their own family temple and pray for the blessing of their families. β
Xiao Taiji had no choice but to respond, and then said: "Sister-in-law, she is Long Shuzhi, and she is the filler for my remarriage." The sister-in-law had seen her before, and I thought it was because the nobles had forgotten and forgotten her. β
Du Hengshuang glanced at Long Shuzhi up and down, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be you." Didn't I say back then, if you go back and never come to our house, I will spare you. If you come to our house again, you will do it at your own risk. β
If Long Shuzhi hadn't found fault with Du Hengshuang as soon as he came back, Du Hengshuang wouldn't have bothered to mention the things of the year.
But she doesn't know each other herself, so don't blame others for hitting her in the face.
At that time, Long Shuzhi was still young, living in the Xiao family, and wholeheartedly helped Long Xiangye to rectify Du Hengshuang, and fell into the hands of Du Hengshuang.
However, Long Shuzhi has been confident that after so long, Du Hengshuang's inner room has been searched by her several times after she married in, and those handles must be gone, so she pretended not to know and said: "Did sister-in-law say this?" I don't really remember. Sister-in-law, no matter what, our uncle is the only brother of Hou Ye, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, is it necessary for the sister-in-law to be so aggressive? β
Du Hengshuang smiled: "I don't know if your second master or uncle, dare to ask when was it sealed by His Majesty?" β
Only then did Long Shuzhi realize that she had slipped her mouth. - Xiao Taiji's earl has already been taken away.
Xiao Shihe took Sister An from Du Hengshuang's hands, held the two children in both hands, and said to Du Hengshuang: "Let's go in." How to pack things up is waiting for you to decide. In the future, you will have the final say in this family, inside and out, but you have to trouble Mrs. and those who are able to work hard. β
Du Hengshuang said with a smile: "Master Hou has a life, don't dare to disobey." As he spoke, he took his sister Du Hengxue and Xiao Shihe together to pass by Long Xiangye, Long Shuzhi and Xiao Taihe, and entered the courtyard from the gate.
The descendants of the Xiao family were all attracted by the exciting news that "the old lady made a private engagement with someone for life", and the words of Long Xiangye saying that Du Hengshuang was "taken away by the homeless" immediately disappeared without a trace, without even leaving a trace.
If Zhu Susu was here, he would definitely praise Du Hengshuang for being self-taught. Because the way to dissipate a rumor is to replace the previous rumor with another, more vigorous rumor.
Back in his inner room, Du Hengshuang looked at the furnishings in the house, compared them with the furnishings in his memory, and said with a smile: "There are still people living here." β
Du Hengxue and Xiao Yanran took their two children to the wing room to help them pack up their things.
There were only Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shihe left in the inner room.
Ou Yangniang and Zhishu guarded in the outer room, not letting people approach.
Xiao Shiji walked over, shook Du Hengshuang's hand, and said in a low voice: "Shuang'er, you have suffered." β
The two have been together for so long, and this is the first time that the two have been alone.
Du Hengshuang felt a little uncomfortable, and struggled gently.
Siu Shiji did not let go. continued: "My mother ......"
Du Hengshuang's face paled, and finally shook off Xiao Shiji's hand vigorously, "Master Hou, I told you no, I was infected with typhoid fever by Guan Yunlian in the outer room here." And her typhoid fever, do you know where the Tao came from? β
Xiao Shiji pursed his lips and looked at Du Hengshuang inquiringly.
"It's from Chen Yuejiao. She went to Chen Yuejiao's house, and came back with a food box, saying that it was Chen Yuejiao's dim sum. Give it to me. Of course I won't eat what Chen Yuejiao makes. It was only when she saw that Guan Yunlian's face was wrong, so she reached out and probed her forehead. - It was this investigation that almost killed me. Du Hengshuang was the first time to talk to Xiao Shihe about her illness in detail.
Siu Shiji listened very attentively.
"If Su Su hadn't arrived in time, not only would I have died. Our children. Even your mother. Almost all the people in this house are now dead. Du Hengshuang said lightly and sat on the side of the bed. Reaching out and stroking her moon-white Shuanglin silk pillow.
Xiao Shiji was a little moved, "So serious? β
"Typhoid fever is also an epidemic and a plague, Su Su said, this disease also has a name, called the Black Death. Do you say it's serious? Du Hengshuang glanced at Xiao Shiji.
A cold sweat broke out on Xiao Shiji's back, and his hands clenched his fists tightly, "Chen Yuejiao is so vicious, it seems that she is still cheaper to kill her." β
Du Hengshuang was silent for a while, and then said: "There is a sentence that I have endured in my heart for a long time, and I have to say it today." β
Xiao Shiji also sat next to Du Hengshuang, gently put his arm on her shoulder, and said in a low voice: "You say." β
"If it weren't for your mother, Chen Yuejiao wouldn't have had the opportunity to do so many things." Du Hengshuang lowered his eyes and lowered his head, twisting a handkerchief in his hand over and over again.
If it weren't for Long Xiangye to leave Chen Yuejiao and Aunt Jin in the Xiao family, which made Chen Yuejiao covetous, Du Hengshuang would not have had this unwarranted disaster.
Although it is said that the Son does not speak, the Father is at fault.
They shouldn't have made irresponsible remarks about the mistakes of their elders.
But Long Xiangye's mistake this time, Du Hengshuang felt that it was difficult to tolerate.
It's just her own life, but now, it involves her two children, and even indirectly her sister's life.
Du Hengshuang had no doubt that if he really died this time, his sister would definitely be frustrated to death by the Sun family.
Her life is no longer her own. On her shoulders, she has already borne the weight of other people's lives.
Xiao Shi and Da Yan were silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "...... The marriage certificate is still there. When we move to the Hou Mansion for a banquet, I will invite the second uncle into the mansion as a guest. β
Du Hengshuang nodded, "I'll take it seriously." You make it clear to your mother. There are some things, some words, in her capacity, she can't do a single thing, she can't say a word. If she did it and said it, the consequences were only at her own risk. β
Everyone has to pay for their words and actions. Even if it is an elder, it depends on whether the junior is willing to buy it.
The two of them talked in the room, but they were at ease.
Xiao Shihe went to the outer courtyard to reconcile with Xiao Yi, and wanted to hand over the shop to Xiao Yi when Du Hengshuang left home and then take it back for Du Hengshuang to take care of.
Xiao Yi is still responsible for the specific affairs of the outside industry, but the account has to be attributed to Du Hengshuang, which can be regarded as an additional layer of supervision mechanism.
In fact, those industries were only half of what Du Hengshuang handed over to Xiao Yi at the beginning. The other half, when it was taken over by Xiao Taihe, was transferred to Commander Chang.
Commander Chang is the prince's doorman, and Prince Yi is not all the way.
Of course, Siu Shik will not rest on his laurels. That part of the industry was originally Prince Yi's. Now falling into the hands of the prince for no reason is a great blow to them.
Xiao Shiji couldn't wait to settle down the affairs of the family, so that he could free up his hands to deal with Commander Chang.
Du Hengshuang took his subordinates to count the cages in the inner courtyard, counted them one by one, made a book, and had double documents to check if they wanted to take away and leave them behind.
When it was almost evening, Zhishu came in lightly and reported: "Madam, Aunt Sun is here, waiting in the gatehouse, saying that I will take the second lady home." β
Du Hengshuang's eyebrows didn't move, and he said lightly: "I just left yesterday, and I came to pick it up today?" - You go and ask Miss Two. See what she has to say. β
