Du Hengshuang's brows were completely twisted.

Mrs. Lu's words sounded strange. But what she said was right. Women and families can't support the family business, either by their father, or by their husbands, and then by their sons. At Mrs. Lu's age, her father is gone, and her husband is gone, so she can only rely on her son.

Du Hengshuang was about to comfort Mrs. Lu for a few words, when she heard a mother-in-law report outside the door: "Madam, the Qiu Niang outside is here again, kneeling outside the door, saying that she wants to wear linen and filial piety for the master, and also said that the child in her belly is the seed of the master. ”

Du Hengshuang knew that Lord Lu's outer room was called Qiu Niang, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, so he stood up and said, "Mrs. Lu, are you busy......

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lu pulled her to sit down, and just said coldly to the mother-in-law outside: "She can kneel if she wants, just don't kneel at the door of my house." If you kneel at my door, bring me a big broom and drive me out of the house!" - If she kneels in the street, leave her alone. ”

The woman took the order and went away.

It didn't take long for Mrs. Lu's eldest son, Lu Dalang, to come back and report outside the door curtain: "Mrs. Zhuguo is well." He also asked Mrs. Lu to say goodbye, "Mother, don't be sad, that woman's son will take care of his mother and don't let his mother worry a little." ”

Mrs. Lu's face softened, and she bowed her head and said, "Go ahead." Don't get tired. Your Majesty has already made an order, and you will go to serve under the Marquis of Jiangling Zhu in the next year, and you must not fall into the prestige of our Lu family. ”

Lu Dalang replied repeatedly: "My son obeys the order!" ”

After Lu Dalang left, it was quiet inside and outside the house.

Du Hengshuang had nothing to say for a while. I had to stroke the sable sleeve jacket on my body, pondering what Mrs. Lu meant by what she said just now.

Mrs. Lu glanced at Du Hengshuang, leaned over to her, and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Zhuguohou, I said this because I saw that you were suffering from the same illness as me." - Your son is still young, and now he still has to rely on the Marquis of Zhu to support this family, unless it is absolutely necessary, don't be like me......"

Du Hengshuang's eyelids jumped, and he glanced at Mrs. Lu. "Mrs. Lu. I don't understand that. ”

Mrs. Lu smiled, sat back in her position just now, lifted the lid on the bowl of tea, and knocked on the rim of the cup. He whispered: "Actually, I'm with our master." has long been a husband and wife on the scene. If he hadn't lost his mind, he would have gone mad. If that woman has to be with me, and take away my son's title and family business, I really don't bother to care about them. Even if he calls that woman his wife outside, I won't pay attention to it. He said. The lid of the bowl was lowered and there was a crisp sound on the cup.

Du Hengshuang suddenly understood, her pink lips opened slightly, and her dark eyes became more and more shiny, "Mrs. Lu, you ...... It's too daring. Du Hengshuang sighed heavily after speaking.

"If it were someone else, I wouldn't have said it. But Mrs. Zhuguohou is different, I see you like I saw when I was young. - Of course, I'm not as beautiful as you, and my family background is not as good as yours, but like you, I've suffered with my dead ghost man. I thought that he could live to old age and die without pain like this, but alas, who knew that he would still be unable to protect his old age. Mrs. Lu wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, but there was not a single tear.

Du Hengshuang couldn't help but want to laugh, and whispered: "Mrs. Lu, I can save it." After a pause, he said, "From the day I watched that scene with Mrs. Lu in the Ten Mile Changting Pavilion outside the city, I understand. It's just that I didn't expect Lord Lu to be so confused. "I actually want to let the outer room be married to the original wife!

"Don't hide it from Mrs. Marquis Zhu, even if His Majesty gives him a marriage and a concubine, I won't let him succeed. - I've worked hard all my life, and when I'm old, I only have so much hope, and he will take my son's food, where will he put our mother and son?! I also have a little daughter, who is only as old as your eldest son, and I won't let her grow up watching her father and her mother look like each other. Mrs. Lu had calmed down, changed the topic as if nothing had happened, and said to Du Hengshuang: "There is another thing that I heard when my son went to the military department to handle the handover. ”

Du Hengshuang raised his head, "Something to do with me?" ”

"Pretty much. The second brother of the Marquis of Zhuguo, that is, your second uncle, has already received a certificate from the Ministry of War, and he is also going to serve your husband in Jiangling. He'll set off with me. Do you know this? Why don't you bring something for your husband? Mrs. Lu brought the small teapot that was already boiling and came over to refill Du Hengshuang's tea.

Du Hengshuang was stunned, "I really don't know what to do." He was originally white, how could he get the certificate of the military department? "It can't be Xiao Shiji's doing, right?

Because he has no confidence in Xiao Shiji, Du Hengshuang is now like Zhizi suspicious neighbor, and whenever there is something bad, the first thing that comes to mind is Xiao Shiji.

Mrs. Lu shook her head with a smile, "I heard that I took the East Palace Gate." - Your Hou Ye, now you are really a big celebrity in the East Palace. ”

Du Hengshuang smiled bitterly and perfunctory twice, "Yes, yes, it's quite red." ”

"But your reputation hasn't been good lately. They all say that you have fallen out of favor......" Mrs. Lu covered her sleeves and smiled, although she was nearly forty years old, her charm still existed.

Du Hengshuang's mind was all on Xiao Tai and the certificate of receiving the military department, and he didn't hear Mrs. Lu's words clearly, but he just took Mrs. Lu's words absent-mindedly: "Yes, yes, it's a fall from favor......

Mrs. Lu: "=,=" Mrs. Zhu Guohou is really sincere......

Du Hengshuang came back to her senses, her face flushed with embarrassment, "Mrs. Lu, I ...... just now That's not what it means......"

"I know. There's a lot going on in your house. However, I would like to say that you must not be merciful to those who want to squeeze into your house. Ordinary people don't go for it like that. It's just that if you meet someone who is diligently pursuing, and it happens to make your man feel something interesting, you should also take action. Otherwise, would you keep it for the New Year? "Mrs. Lu has long been dead to Lord Lu, and her son has started a family, so dealing with this kind of problem is completely from the root, and it is a hundred times.

Du Hengshuang is thinking about this matter these days. Even if she wants to leave, she will not be able to turn over Mu Yelai.

She made the scheme break her leg, it was only a stopgap measure. She didn't want Mu Yelai to die. Somehow, Chen Yuejiao's business. The shadow given to her is a bit big, she is always worried that if she deals with Mu Yelai like she did with Chen Yuejiao, it will make her climb higher, if that is the case, she will be even more troublesome......

So this time, she must draw her salary from the bottom of the kettle and fundamentally disintegrate Mu Yelai's foundation first. In this way, even if she can enter the door of the Xiao family, she will definitely not be able to turn over the wind and waves.

Du Hengshuang listened to Mrs. Lu's house tell Mrs. Lu about the interesting stories of the officials and eunuchs in Chang'an City for a long time, and then left.

Mrs. Lu personally sent her to the gate.

Across the street not far from the door of Lu Mansion, there was Qiu Niang, who was wearing linen and filial piety. With a big belly. The face is blue and crumbling.

Seeing Mrs. Lu come out, Qiu Niang screamed sadly, and walked over on her knees. Kowtow to Mrs. Lu. He said in a loud voice: "Madam! Madam! Ask Mrs. to give Qiu Niang and the child in her belly a way to live! Qiu Niang didn't ask for anything else. I just hope to give birth to a child and let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and Qiu Niang will hang herself immediately. From Lord Lu underground! ”

When the onlookers around saw it, they couldn't help but sigh, saying that Master Lu was really a blessing.

Mrs. Lu's face was indifferent, she stood on the five steps at the entrance of the Lu Mansion, looked down at Qiu Niang who kowtowed to herself at the bottom of the steps, and sighed: "You go quickly." Our lord is out of power in your house, and my son is about to find someone to cure your sin, and for the sake of the child in your womb, I persuaded him alive and dead, and you are still not satisfied. Even so, I don't care, go and call the uncle over, just say, I won't stop him, he can do whatever he wants......" said, took Du Hengshuang's arm, and sent her to the car of the Zhuguo Marquis's mansion.

Du Hengshuang got into the car, and when she looked out of the car again, she saw that Qiu Niang had already held the hands of her subordinates and quickly slipped away like a rabbit, and couldn't help laughing.

Mrs. Lu stood under the car and said sarcastically: "If our master is still alive, we should really let him see what his little heart looks like." - If it weren't for me burying these stinky men, if it weren't for their power and power, where would there be so many 'affectionate' little ladies crying and shouting to live with them for the rest of their lives? Why didn't I see a little lady who was 'affectionate' to the beggar on the street? It was originally a relationship between a bitch and a prostitute, one was willing to buy, the other was willing to sell, wouldn't it be a two-way deal for silver? If you have to make the ghosts and gods earth-shattering, you just coax those soft-eared dead ghost men, it's really disgusting! ”

Du Hengshuang pursed her lips and smiled, waved to Mrs. Lu, and returned to the Marquis of Zhuguo's mansion in the car.

After returning home, she wanted to ask Xiao Taiji to come over and ask, but Xiao Taiji came first and took the initiative to say to Du Hengshuang: "Sister-in-law, it's not a problem for me to eat idle meals at home every day. Now that the eldest brother is fighting abroad, I also begged the prince to go to Gangneung to help the eldest brother during the Chinese New Year. - I have received all the certificates from the Ministry of War, and my sister-in-law has something to bring, so I can pack it up slowly, and when I leave, I can take it with me. ”

Xiao Taiji confessed like this, Du Hengshuang had nothing to say, but said: "Fighting is not fun, your eldest brother is enough to be alone outside, and it will not be possible if there is no man in this family." ”

Xiao Taihe said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is more powerful than a man, we have a sister-in-law in our family, but we have the backbone, so we are naturally not afraid." Besides, my sister-in-law has two sons, and I also have sons, and we have successors to the Xiao family, so I should still go out to experience the experience. He apologized to Du Hengshuang again, saying that he was ignorant in his early years, and he did something painful and hateful, and asked Du Hengshuang to forgive him, this time he wanted to atone for his previous behavior.

With sincere words, Du Hengshuang just gave up, and instructed him: "Follow others to learn more and practice, don't be blindly strong." When you see your eldest brother, listen to him, and don't be self-conscious. ”

Xiao Tai and all agreed, and went back to prepare not to mention it.

Du Hengshuang settled the affairs of the family, and went to call Xiao Yi to come over and ask: "When I asked you to buy the IOUs from the sons of the Muhou family, how much did you buy?" ”

It's been a long time since this incident, and Xiao Yi saw that Du Hengshuang didn't mention it anymore, so he sent all the IOUs to her and stored them in the warehouse, and said busily: "I received Mrs.'s library last year." ”

Du Hengshuang ordered Zhishu to go to the library to find out those IOUs.

This was a move prepared by Du Hengshuang in order to deal with Mu Yelai. She thought she wouldn't need it, but she didn't think it would come in handy today.

got the IOU in the box, Du Hengshuang looked at it one by one and counted it.

"Three cents a month, which is quite magnanimous." Du Hengshuang quickly calculated all the IOUs, and finally came up with a number.

It's not big, it's not too small, if Muhou Mansion tightens his belt, he can still pay it back.

However, Du Hengshuang didn't think of using these IOUs to collapse the Muhou Mansion. What she fancied was the horse farm run by Muhou Mansion in Anxi.

Du Xiancheng told her that after the Great Qi unified the Quartet, salt, iron and other businesses that made a lot of money would be owned by the imperial court, and the only thing that the people could run independently was the horse farm.

Daqi lacks war horses, and today's war horses, except for the horses exchanged by Mobei from the Turks, are from the horse farm in Anxi. There are also horses in the Bashu area, but the horses there have a good load. As a war horse, he is not strong and fast enough.

Du Hengshuang has bigger plans for the future of the Xiao family.

Even if she is separated from Xiao Shi. Her son still has to inherit the Xiao family's family business and Xiao Shiji's assassination history.

She never let go of what she and her son deserve.

If Xiao Shiji is defeated, her horse farm will become a retreat for her son.

If Xiao Shiji rises all the way, her horse farm is the biggest help for her son. In short, it is a good move to attack and retreat. In addition, it can also weaken the strength of Muhou Mansion. Let the Muhou Mansion be completely defeated.

Du Hengshuang knew how to go. Mu Hou will definitely not sell the horse farm, but a few of his sons who are losers may be......

However, Du Hengshuang didn't plan to let Xiao Yi do it. She knew that Xiao Yi was Xiao Shiji's person.

After putting away the IOU, Du Hengshuang went to the Haixi Palace, begging Du Xiancheng to give her a few reliable people, and to carry out her plan with someone born in Chang'an.

Du Xiancheng naturally agreed quickly, and instructed his henchmen: "Go, take some more silver, and continue to lend money to them." Whether it is gambling or prostitution, in short, in a short time, let them write an IOU of one million taels. ”

With an IOU of one million taels, it is possible for several of Mu Hou's sons to sell their fathers, let alone a horse farm in Anxi?

Mu Hou's horse farm is controlled by Mu Hou, how important it is to Mu Hou's Mansion, Mu Hou's son does not know what to do for the time being. - In general, if you take away this horse farm, Muhou Mansion will become an empty shelf. This is the bottom of Anzi's often through Zhu Susu to Du Hengshuang.

"Dad, this matter must be done in secret, and they can't be told that I want to buy their horse farm." Du Hengshuang quietly instructed Du Xiancheng.

"It's nature. How do I let them know who did it? Then didn't I scream in vain?! Du Xiancheng reassured Du Hengshuang.

Soon the New Year passed, and spring came, and it was already the seventh year of Yongchang.

The grass in the south of the Yangtze River flies, and the water in the river sends out a peach blossom flood, causing the water of the Jiangling River to soar, from the Three Gorges to the east, rumbling like thunder, resounding through the world.

Xiao Miao, who had just passed the first Spring Festival after "ascending the throne", looked at the mighty and surging river and was very happy. He thought that the water situation was so fierce, and there was a natural danger in the Three Gorges, and the Great Qi Navy did not dare to go east, so he could only wait for the water to recede before making plans, so he let the soldiers rest and recuperate, and did not take precautions.

Most of the generals of Daqi were northerners, and they were a little frightened when they saw such a surging river, and they all hoped to wait for the peach blossom flood before sending troops to attack Jiangling.

Xiao Shiji refused, he strongly persuaded Qi Xiaogong, the king of Nanping County, and said: "The soldiers are fast, and the opportunity must not be lost." We just have to catch the opponent off guard in order to win in the shortest possible time. According to the spies, Xiao Miao's rebels also thought that we would not attack during the Peach Blossom Flood, and they had just withdrawn the outer city defenses and were unprepared. Why don't we take advantage of the rising waters and attack the city with all our might? The so-called lightning speed, quick victory! ”

Xiao Shiji's words stirred everyone's hearts. - Especially the words "quick fix"!

And in the palace of Jiangling City, the capital of Xiao Milling, Xiao Yuexian, who was dressed in military uniform, walked to the palace angrily, glared at the concubines who were singing and dancing lightly in front of Xiao Milling and reprimanded: "Get out of this palace!" ”

"Yo, is our princess here?" One of Xiao Milling's favorite concubines smiled and came up with a wine glass, "Come, this palace salutes His Royal Highness!" ”

Bang Dang!

Xiao Yuexian pulled out her sword, and stabbed the concubine through the heart with a sword, and the wine glass held by the concubine fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and the wine flowed together with the blood flowing from the concubine's body, and flowed to Xiao Miao's feet.
