Du Hengshuang knew a thing or two about the little girl, but she didn't bother to inquire.

Xiao Shiji didn't tell her everything. Besides, those details were bloody, and saying it would affect Du Hengshuang's mood.

That's a good result.

Du Hengshuang sat in front of the dressing table to remove her makeup, took off the hairpin rings on her head one by one, and said to the mirror: "Have you asked everything?" Is her status very valuable? ”

Xiao Shiji sneered, "Valuable! Really valuable people are enjoying happiness in the desert royal court, how can they come out to be born and die? - She's just one level higher than the woman who died. For example, she was a first-class maid, and the woman who died was a second-class maid. ”

In this way, Du Hengshuang completely understood. She smiled, "I see. "I didn't mention this matter, and talked about proposing marriage to An Zichang and Zhu Susu.

"Do you want to bring the dowry with you? Brother Ping'er is not young, so it's best not to delay it for too long. Now to get married, at the end of the year, what do you think? Du Hengshuang looked back at Xiao Shiji.

Xiao Shiji sighed, "As soon as possible." - It's better to marry Brother Ping'er before I go on the expedition. ”

Du Hengshuang's hand shook, and she looked at Xiao Shiji with some concern.

Taking the initiative to fight the Turks, this battle will be more dangerous than any battle Xiao Shiji has ever fought.

In the past, they were all in a defensive position, fighting against the invading enemy on their own land, and they had no worries about fighting.

But this time, they wanted to go out of the borders of Daqi and go deep into the hinterland of the other party to fight to the death.

Although Xiao Shiji is famous, he is also a good fighter. is an unborn general, but he really hasn't fought such a large-scale battle yet.

This battle will either destroy the Turks. Or, he's going to bury his bones in the desert.

The two have been husband and wife for more than 20 years, and they have loved passionately, hated fiercely, and been sweet, resentful, and fighting. Even broke up.

What someone else has done for several lifetimes. They seem to have already done it.

By now, all the passion has been precipitated, and what is left is only a strong affection that cannot be dissolved.

It seems too thin to say that it is love. It is too one-sided to say that it is family affection.

In short, the involvement between two people. It's been tightly fitted. No one else can step in anymore.

Xiao Shiji understood Du Hengshuang's worries, he walked over and put his hand on Du Hengshuang's shoulder. Wen Yan said: "I am a soldier, this time, it is the national hatred and family hatred mixed together, I ......"

Du Hengshuang interrupted him and said with a smile: "I understand." I just hope you are careful and careful. - I'm in Fanyang, waiting for the news of your return from a great victory. ”

Xiao Shiji's heart was excited, he bent down, kissed Du Hengshuang on the cheek, and said in a low voice: "When Your Majesty agrees to send troops, I still have some things to discuss with you." After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "This time, if you don't agree, I will never do it." However, I still want to explain the stakes carefully with you, don't promise to be good now, and then regret it and make trouble with me again, I can't stand it anymore. ”

"What happened that year? What year did it happen? Du Hengshuang asked playfully, "What if you want to do it all over again?" ”

"If I do it all over again, I'll go to His Majesty to confess, and then the whole family will wait for His Majesty to come down and cut off his head." Xiao Shiji said half jokingly, half seriously.

Du Hengshuang was stunned for a long time, bowing slightly, "I understand." This time, I won't be ignorant. ”

Gone are the days of spontaneity.

Xiao Shiji patted her on the shoulder, and said, "This time I went to propose to Brother Ping, should I bring the dowry by the way?" ”

Du Hengshuang covered his sleeves and smiled: "You don't have to worry about this." I was in the Zhuguo Mansion in Chang'an, and I had already saved the dowry. At the beginning, Su Su saw it and said that such a good thing in the warehouse, I don't know who will be cheaper, but I don't know that the most expensive thing is still cheaper for their family......"

Xiao Shiji remembered Zhu Susu's "greed for money", and also laughed, and said: "She doesn't have to worry about money now." I heard that her Zhu's medical hall is getting bigger and bigger, and it has already opened to other state capitals in Daqi. ”

"Our family also got a piece of the pie." Du Hengshuang said with a smile, "At the beginning, Xue'er and I both invested in her Zhu's Medical Hall. Haven't you seen the annual dividends now? ”

"That's your private money put in, you don't have to report it to me." Xiao Shiji said with a smile, went to the bathroom to wash, and the two of them slept without mentioning it.

The next day, Xiao Shiji took Du Hengshuang and Brother Heping, and Xu Shao went on the road from Fanyang to Chang'an.

They stayed overnight, day and night, and soon returned to Chang'an City.

Brother Ping knew that this time he was going to propose marriage to him, and he was a little nervous along the way.

Somehow, when I think of An Zichang, I feel a little embarrassed. - He really doesn't have the style of a father-in-law.

"Su Su's eldest son, Brother Yan, got married last year, and when he turns eighteen next year, he will get married." Du Hengshuang looked at Brother Ping with some emotion and said.

Brother Yan is four or five years younger than Brother Ping, and one year younger than Brother Yang, so he is about to get married.

Brother Ping smiled and said, "Mother, didn't you say that your children and grandchildren have their own blessings?" Why can't you see it again? As he spoke, he remembered Brother Shun and Brother Jiu, who followed Long Xiangye to Luoyang, and then said: "Don't talk about Brother Yan, even Brother Shun has already made a marriage, did my mother give a gift?" ”

"Of course I did. That's your serious cousin, your second uncle's eldest son, can you not send it? Du Hengshuang said disapprerovingly.

For Brother Shun, since he chose to follow Long Xiangye, Du Hengshuang only regarded him as a relative.

The affairs of the relatives' family are good in courtesy, but it is impossible for her to care about him as before.

"It's just Brother Jiu'er, I wrote to me a letter a while ago, saying that I wanted to come to Chang'an to get an errand." Brother Ping thought about it, and still mentioned the matter of Brother Jiu.

Du Hengshuang lowered his head and pondered for a long time, shook his head and said, "He is still too young, let's talk about it after he gets married." ”

Without a rejection, there is still hope.

Brother Ping nodded happily.

After returning to the Zhuguo Mansion for a little rest, Xiao Shiji entered the palace to face the saint.

Du Hengshuang packed up his things. I also handed a post to the Anguo Mansion.

Zhu Susu was very surprised when he saw that Du Hengshuang was coming, and hurriedly said to the servant woman who came to deliver the post: "What kind of post to send, it's too foreign, isn't it?" Invite your ladies to come over. If I don't come, I'll pass! ”

The servant woman hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Our lady said, "Let you wait, and she'll be right over." ”

The servant woman knew that she was here to propose marriage to their eldest young master, how could she let the female family come to the door? That's too unremarkable.

Zhu Susu restlessly waited for a stick of incense, and heard that Du Hengshuang had already arrived at the second gate.

Zhu Susu hurriedly greeted him.

The two haven't seen each other for two or three years, and they want to cry when they meet. Laugh again. Mixed with joy and sorrow, holding hands and deed, he went to Zhu Susu's main house hand in hand.

Du Hengshuang tasted all the elements in her heart, and saw that she was more and more graceful and luxurious. Extraordinary magnanimity. It can be seen that the past few years have been really smooth. There's nothing troubled inside or out. Perhaps, except for Sister Zheng'er's family affairs...... Other than that, she was really comfortable.

The two of them went to the inner room. sat on the Luohan bed under the south window together, tasted a cup of tea in front of the small coffee table, ate a few snacks, and briefly talked about the events of the past few years.

In fact, the two of them have not cut off communication over the years, and they both know what is happening around each other. But when it comes out of the other person's mouth, it's different.

After gossiping, Du Hengshuang got to the point. She quietly took out Brother Ping'er's Geng post from her sleeve pocket, held it in her hand, and said seriously: "Susu, although we have been friends for many years, this matter is related to the lifelong affairs of our children, so it is better to be cautious." ”

Zhu Susu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he only felt that his heart had fallen to the bottom.

Du Hengshuang's tone, to Zhu Susu's ears, seemed to be coming to give her a showdown, saying that their brother Ping already had a heart.

Zhu Susu couldn't help but feel extremely sad for her daughter, she turned her head, quietly wiped away the tears that had just come out of the corners of her eyes with her hands, turned sideways, and said without looking back: "Yes, the twisted melon is not sweet, I understand this." It's a pity that my sister Zheng, she may never be happy again for the rest of her life......"

Brother Ping happened to come to the door of the Moon Cave, and wanted to knock on the door to enter in person and express his sincerity to the aunts, but when he heard such a sentence, his mood was extremely agitated. thought that if she hadn't suddenly opened up, wouldn't Sister Zheng be happy in this life? Is her mind about herself already so deep and heavy?

One person's joy is tied to another, and for others, it may be too heavy for others to choose to escape.

But for those who have a burden and a heart, they are willing to be happy with this "sweet burden".

Brother Ping didn't feel heavy, he just felt that his heart was so happy that it seemed to explode. He doesn't like to guess with others, like Sister Zheng'er to show it clearly.

In short, in the eyes of a lover, everything the other party does is good and right. If someone doesn't think it's right, it must be something wrong with your eyes.

Brother Ping came to the Anguo Mansion after Du Hengshuang. He felt that since his mother went to propose marriage in person, he should also come to the door in person. In this way, if you say it in the future, it will be said that the future mother-in-law and husband will come to the door to propose marriage together, and Sister Zheng will have more face on her face. It is rare in the entire Chang'an City.

At the beginning, his little aunt Xiao Yanran got married, and it was her mother-in-law Mrs. Lu and her husband Lu Erlang who came to the door to ask for a kiss, and it has been talked about by many noblewomen in Chang'an City, taking it as the face of the woman's family.

What official media, private media, and even His Majesty's marriage are not as big as this face.

Now that he heard that Zhu Susu had obviously misunderstood, Brother Ping was very anxious.

Du Hengshuang was also surprised in the inner room, she was stunned for a moment, put Brother Ping'er's Geng post on the small coffee table between the two, and said with a smile: "Of course the twisted melon is not sweet." However, the melons are ripe and falling, and it is a good time for the harvest. - Our Brother Ping really wants to ask your sister Zheng to be the original wife, I don't know if Lu Daoxian and his wife will allow this marriage? ”

Zhu Susu was immersed in the pain in her heart, and thought that when An Zichang came back, the two of them would go to Fan Yang together to pick up Sister Zheng. - I can't help Brother Ping'er to get married, and Sister Zheng is still living in someone's house......

Suddenly heard Du Hengshuang say that he asked Brother Ping to marry Sister Zheng as his wife, Zhu Susu was so frightened that he froze there dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond.

Brother Ping waited outside for a long time, and he didn't hear Zhu Susu's reply, so he was in a hurry, and he opened the curtain and went in regardless of it, walked up to Zhu Susu, and said, "Please Aunt Zhu, I really want to marry Sister Zheng as my wife." ”

Zhu Susu was so frightened that she leaned back suddenly, patted her chest and said, "You're not kidding me, are you?" Why did you suddenly figure it out again? He took two deep breaths, calmed down, sat up straight and said, "You can't agree to marry our sister just because you pity our sister." I tell you, because I pity a woman, it is most important to marry her. You're not doing it for her's good, you're hurting her, and you're harming her for the rest of your life, and you're going to hurt you for the rest of your life, do you understand? ”

Zhu Susu has seen too many such couples, either both parties are not interesting, or one party is interesting, and the other party is just forced by various pressures, or pity the other party for a deep affection, and finally agree to get married. As a result, it didn't take long for "true love" to jump out and make the two of them jump.

Zhu Susu didn't want Brother Ping to regret it in the future, claiming that he was just "pitiful" Sister Zheng at the beginning, so he married her, and then focused on "true love", whether it was a concubine or a concubine, Zhu Susu felt that he couldn't stand it, it was better to lock Sister Zheng at home and not marry for the rest of his life, so as to save himself from this fragmentary idleness in the future.

Du Hengshuang listened to Zhu Susu's words, and also felt that it made sense, she looked at Brother Ping'er, and said: "What your aunts said is a wise saying, you think about it, it's too late to regret it now." Don't rush into marriage for the sake of face or anything else. You also know that your father and I have never forced you to marry. Only when you feel that you have truly found the person you want to live your life with is the time to get married. ”

Brother Ping smiled at Zhu Susu, and his face as bright as the moon made Zhu Susu feel sorry for him. - Such a good child, if she really likes her sister, how good would it be?

"Mother, aunts, I understand your concerns. But don't forget, I'm twenty-two years old, I'm not a hairy boy, and I didn't agree to this family business because of pity before, so how can I change my mind now because of this nonsense reason? - You have to believe me, I really love Sister Zheng'er, I am willing to marry her as a wife, and cherish her for the rest of my life. "Brother Ping said very sincerely. His voice is as warm as a spring breeze in March, and every sentence tugs at the heartstrings of the listener.

The maids and mothers-in-law of Anguo Mansion were all moved by Brother Ping'er's words, and they couldn't wait for Mrs. to nod immediately and marry the eldest lady to the eldest young master. - Such a noble son-in-law with such a character, appearance, family background, and good hands is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
