Chapter III: Message

On the fourth day, Du Qinxin got up early in the morning and wore a pink yarn skirt, she has always disliked such pink clothes, but her mother likes it very much, this one was sent by her mother a few days ago, Du Qin thought that it might be because of the fact that she was displeased with her mother by picking pomegranates on the tree, so her mother did not see herself.

deliberately dressed like this to admit her mistake to her mother, and her mother may not be angry. As soon as I arrived at the door of Mrs. Du's courtyard, I was stopped. Du Qinxin was unhappy now, so he had to break through, shouting as he went, "Mother, mother and child know that they are wrong!" You let me in! I don't dare anymore! ”

Du Qin's heart was a little panicked, because his mother had never been like this, and if she made a mistake in the past, her mother should be punished, and she had never been so cold to herself for several days. Du Qin thought that he must see his mother today.

"Miss, Mrs. Miss said, I don't see you, you go back first!" Although the maids in Mrs. Du's courtyard were also very embarrassed, they didn't dare to disobey Mrs. Du's orders, and stubbornly stopped Du Qin's heart.

And Mrs. Du here, hearing the noise outside, frowned, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. Motioned for Du Qinxin to come in.

The maids who had received the order quickly dispersed with relief. I'm afraid that I will be hated by the lady if I run slowly.

Du Qinxin glanced at the maids and dispersed, pouted, and straightened the messy skirt by Su Qing, and then walked towards his mother's room.

"Mother..."As soon as Du Qinxin entered the room, he saw Mrs. Du sitting on the Luohan bed. Instantly felt a stomach aggrieved, and his mouth pouted.

Mrs. Du also hadn't seen her daughter for a few days, and she didn't want to show her emotions in front of her daughter, but she really couldn't help it. Tears fell all at once.

"My daughter!" Mrs. Du hugged Du Qinxin in her arms and was speechless.

Du Qin saw his mother so sad, and he didn't know why, "Mother, mother, what's going on?" ”

Mrs. Du didn't know how to tell her daughter that although the holy decree had not been issued, the palace had already asked for her daughter's birthday. Ben still has some fantasies, but now ...... Ay!

Du Qin comforted his mother and asked what happened! Before Mrs. Du stabilized her mood, the front hall came to report, and the holy decree arrived!

When Mrs. Du heard this, she cried even more fiercely! Du Qinxin thought that something had happened to the court at the right time and implicated his father!

"My heart!" persuaded his mother for a long time to calm down and tidy up her appearance, Du Qin went to the front hall to receive the order!

When Du Qinxin and his mother came to the front hall, the justice who came to deliver the decree drank tea with Du Chengye, Du Minglang stood aside, Du Qinxin looked at his father and brother and did not feel that a big disaster was coming, but his eyes were a little different from the past.

Mrs. Du greeted her father-in-law, and Du Qinxin also saluted.

"Lord Du, that is, when everyone is together, the old slave will announce the decree!" The father-in-law smiled and glanced at Du Qinxin and said.

All the people in Du Mansion knelt down to receive the order.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict, and Du Qin, the daughter of Du Chengye, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is skillful and generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding appearance. The Queen Mother and I were very happy to hear it. When the king of Rui is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman to match. Du Qin, the daughter of the Shangshu, treats the boudoir in the world, and the King of Rui can be called heaven and earth, in order to become a beautiful woman, and the Queen Mother is specially ordered to be the princess of King Rui. All etiquette is handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor to jointly handle it, and the marriage will be completed on a good day. ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Du Chengye kowtowed and thanked him.

The moment Du Qinxin heard the content of the holy decree, his head was stunned, give marriage? Wise King? That cold-blooded prince? Su Qing also couldn't believe it, and trembled to help Du Qinxin, who was still stunned.

"Congratulations to Master Du, Miss Du! The holy decree has arrived, and the old slave will stay soon, and he will return to the palace to resume his life! "Wait to send off the people in the palace. Mrs. Du was the first to hold back, tears fell suddenly, and she grabbed Du Qinxin's hand.

"My miserable daughter!"

Tears fell on Du Qinxin's hands, and she came back to her senses and looked at her sad mother, father and brother with sad faces. Du Qinxin, who still had a stomach full of grievances and wanted to ask why this was, opened his mouth, but he really didn't know what to say, so he led Su Qing Su Ling back to the Heart Hospital.

Stepping into the courtyard, Du Qinxin found that he had already burst into tears. She will be in trouble at the end of the year, it's not that she hasn't thought about the marriage of a man and a woman, her father and mother love her so much, and she will always think about herself. But I don't want to be married to such a high-power, fierce and cruel person.

Su Qing and Su Ling didn't know how to comfort Miss, so they could only cry silently. Although she is married to be a princess, I am afraid that no one in this entire Shangshu Mansion is happy.

Du Qinxin didn't eat all day, and in the evening, Su Qing was a little anxious, her own lady had never wronged herself, seeing that Du Qinxin was so sad, she persuaded her a few times, but Du Qinxin only said that she was not hungry.

At the moment of holding the lamp, Du Qinxin suddenly got up and hurriedly ran out, and Su Qing reacted and hurriedly chased after him. Du Qinxin trotted all the way, thinking about it and still not wanting to marry King Narui, she went to beg her father and mother to let her father think of a way.

When Du Qinxin arrived at her mother's yard, no one stopped her, and Du Qinxin couldn't wait for someone to report it, so she walked quickly towards her mother's room.

"Master, have you thought about it?" Du Qinxin heard his mother's words outside the door, and stopped.

"How can I bear to see my daughter suffer? But if this resignation angers the Holy One, the time will ...... Madame is afraid? Du Qinxin heard his father say that he would resign, but his father wanted to resign because of the marriage?

"Father and mother, can you sleep peacefully?" Du Qinxin knocked on the door and asked.

"No, why are you here?" Mrs. Du opened the door as she spoke, but she didn't expect Du Qinxin to come. Looking at her daughter with slightly red eyes, I felt very uncomfortable.

Du Qinxin was led in by her mother's hand, "Father, mother, today's daughter is willful." Worried my father and mother! ”

"Xin'er, I have consulted with your mother and plan to ······"

"Father and mother, I think this marriage is very good! Don't they all say that the face of King Rui is like a crown of jade, and he is very handsome. Du Qinxin didn't know where he got the courage to say such a thing, obviously he wanted his father to push off the marriage when he came. However, the moment he heard his father resigning, Du Qin understood in his heart that if his father had a way to resign, there would be no such decree of marriage today.

Du Chengye and his wife looked at Du Qinxin in disbelief, "Xin'er? Do you know what you're talking about? ”

"Of course the daughter knows, the daughter came to say to her father and mother, don't worry! The hour is not early, the father and mother rest early, and the daughter retires! Du Qinxin didn't wait for Du Chengye to say more, and turned to leave.

Du Chengye and his wife looked at their daughter who left in a hurry and sighed again and again.

Leaving Mrs. Du's courtyard, Du Qin felt that this day was the worst day since he grew up. dragging his tired body, he half-leaned on Su Qing and moved back to the Liuxin Courtyard.

Stepping into the courtyard, Du Qinxin looked at the pomegranate tree by the wall. Early this morning, Su Qing asked people to pick some fully ripe pomegranates, and Du Qinxin asked her to bring her a big and red looking pomegranate to peel it off, pinch a pomegranate seed and put it in her mouth! Sure enough, careful care is different, it's really not so sour!

Following.

Early in the morning, Du Chengye sent someone to summon Du Qin's heart to the past.

When Du Qinxin went to his father's study, his eldest brother Du Minglang was also there. Du Qinxin saluted obediently.

"Xin'er asks you, but you heard what I told your mother last night about my resignation, so that's why you said that?" Du Chengye went straight to the point and asked Du Qinxin straightforwardly.

"It's not!" Du Qin quibbled.

"That's your marriage event, you have to think about it!" Du Chengye saw that Du Qinxin didn't admit that karma didn't force her.

"Sister, don't be willful, this is about your lifelong happiness!" Du Minglang saw that Du Qinxin didn't admit it, and looked at Du Qinxin with a distressed face.

"Brother, don't worry!! Since it is a marriage given by the saint, no matter how cruel he is, he should not dare to blatantly bully me, and at most he will not be able to look good when he marries, so I should be careful," Du Qin said with a swear. In fact, my heart is very empty, but in any case, I can't ignore the entire Shangshu Mansion because I let my father resign. My brother is still young and has a great future, how can he delay because of himself.

"Moreover, my father is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he still has to have some scruples in the Rui Wangfu! Father, brother, don't worry! Du Qin hoped that his words would dispel his father's decision.

The father and son stayed in the study for a long time before Du Minglang and Du Qinxin left together.

Du Chengye does not have many heirs, so Du Qinxin Du Minglang is a brother and sister. The main reason is that Du Chengye only has one concubine except Mrs. Zheng, and she is also the maidservant brought by Mrs. Du's marriage, and she has never even been pregnant. And since Mrs. Du gave birth to Du Qinxin, her body is not as good as before, she has never been pregnant, and she also wants to take a concubine for Du Chengye, and Du Chengye has not agreed to mention it several times, Mrs. Du naturally would rather have a reputation for being good and jealous than find herself unhappy. For so many years, Mrs. Du's life has been smooth.

"Brother, you can prepare for the autumn festival with peace of mind, don't worry about me." Du Qinxin said.

Du Minglang looked at his sister, who was a head shorter than him, and nodded. The two of them are close relatives, and they are the only young master and young lady in the house, and their relationship has always been good. It's this personality that is different, the elder brother is polite, and the younger sister is lively and free. Thinking about the road Du Qinxin was going to take in the future, Du Minglang could only secretly make up his mind.

Rui Wang's Mansion.

"Master! Do you really want to get married? "Yesterday, the same decree also reached the Rui Wangfu, and Su Li saw that his prince accepted the decree, and there was nothing else to say. I held it all night and asked it. That's Du Chengye's daughter, where is she worthy of her own prince.

"Father's intention was for my good! It doesn't matter, just a few more bowls! Zhao Qirui looked at the fold in his hand and didn't raise his head, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.

Su Li scratched his head, and didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only slander himself.
