Chapter 024: Walk into the Du family
Li Zizheng's careless move made him very embarrassed, and he lowered his head embarrassedly, thinking secretly: How could I have such bad luck to meet this unruly young lady, how good is this! The expression was extremely ugly, and he was stubborn, and said apologetically: "I just offended, please forgive me!" ”
Miss Diao Man came to her senses at this time, thinking of the fact that she had just been slighted by Li Zizheng, her face was red and her ears were hot, she was angry, she glared at Li Zizheng, and said sharply: "What are you doing here at my house?" ......" The latter words were really ashamed to come out, stomped his feet, and snorted coldly.
Li Zizheng was speechless for a moment, and glanced at Qin Xuan and the others with a look of help. Qin Xuan comprehended, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Zizheng relieve the siege and said, "Girl, the right talent ......."
Before Qin Xuan finished speaking, Miss Diao Nan turned to stare at Qin Xuan, stretched out her finger, pointed at Qin Xuan and said angrily: "Hmph, and you, preaching to me on the street has caused Miss Ben to lose face." My aunt and grandmother haven't gone to settle accounts with you, but you dare to come to the door by yourself! ”
When Qin Xuan heard this, he didn't know how to deal with it, and he slandered in his heart: This little girl can't be her aunt's family!
Du Huizhen heard Miss Diao's words, stared at it for a long time, and asked softly, "Are you-Juan'er?" ”
Miss Diao Man was slightly stunned, then looked at Du Huizhen, frowned slightly, and asked, "My name is Du Juan, how did you know?" ”
Du Huizhen was overjoyed, stepped forward, grabbed Du Juan's arms, and said eagerly: "I am your aunt!" ”
Du Juan looked Du Huizhen up and down, and thought to himself: I heard my father say that I have an aunt, but I have been away from Pingyang City for more than ten years. The woman in front of her ...... Oh, I see, she must have helped those two out of the siege and tricked me. Swinging Du Huizhen's hand, she replied coldly: "Where are you a woman from, how can you come here to recognize relatives!" ”
Du Huizhen's hands were pushed away by the cuckoo, and she couldn't help but be a little stunned. Listening to the cuckoo's words, he seemed to doubt himself, and hurriedly explained: "I am really your aunt, I even hugged you when you were a child!" ”
Anyway, Du Juan was confident that his calculations were correct, and replied casually: "Cut, anyone who pretends to be a relative is like you!" Do you think I'm low IQ? ”
Seeing that Du Juan still didn't believe it, Du Huizhen hurriedly explained: "I am really your aunt, my name is Du Huizhen!" Your father Du Chengming is my brother! After a slight pause, he continued: "You also have an elder brother named Du Xingwen!" ”
"Yo, I also inquired about my family's situation in advance, it seems that you are quite well-intentioned!" Du Juan didn't even look at Du Huizhen, and said casually.
When Li Zizheng heard this, he thought to himself: It seems that this troublesome lady is not without brains! And Qin Xuan was a little angry when he heard Du Juan's words, and said sharply: "If you don't believe it, you might as well call your father or your brother to come out and identify it!" ”
Du Huizhen saw that Qin Xuan's tone was a little unkind, and she was worried that the two would quarrel, so she said earnestly: "I left Pingyang City for more than ten years, and at that time, you only babbled, of course you don't remember me." ”
Du Huizhen's words were convincing, which made Du Juan doubt his own ideas. Looking at Du Huizhen, she asked softly uneasily, "Are you really my aunt?" ”
Seeing Du Huizhen nodding affirmatively, Du Juan hesitated for a moment, nodded and agreed: "Then you come in with me, and let my brother see if it's true or not!" ”
Walking into the gate of Du's house, the previous aroma of wine is even stronger. It came to his face as if he was going to get drunk. Qin Xuan looked around, and the Du family courtyard was much more lenient than the Qian family. There are five main houses facing south in the north, seven or eight side rooms in the east, and a one-person high fence in the west, with an arch in the middle of the fence, which looks a bit idyllic. Looking through the cracks in the fence, I vaguely saw some huge wooden barrels, orderly placed in the courtyard. Qin Xuan said secretly: With such a strong aroma of wine wafting from the west, presumably this Du family must be specialized in winemaking, and those wooden barrels should be specialized in winemaking.
After walking dozens of steps, I walked into the hall of the Du family. The hall looks a little old, but the exquisite structure contains wealth and elegance. The cuckoo motioned for everyone to sit on the chairs in the hall and wait. He ordered his subordinates to serve some tea, and asked people to find his brother Du Xingwen to come and identify him.
Li Zizheng took a sip of the teacup. said in his heart: This Miss Du family is not only rude, but also knows the gift of hospitality!
Everyone sat and waited, and the cuckoo tiptoed up to Qin Xuan and whispered, "Hmph, even if you are really my relative, I won't let you go!" ”
Li Zizheng on the side, after hearing this, looked at Qin Xuan's gaze with schadenfreude and sympathy. Unexpectedly, after Du Juan finished speaking to Qin Xuan, he turned his head to stare at Li Zizheng, his tone was weak, and he said softly: "And you, just now at the door, Miss Ben will definitely settle accounts with you!" ”
But he said that the maid Xiaolian came to Du Xingwen's room and said softly: "Young master, there are a few guests at home!" Say yes ......"
Before Xiaolian finished speaking, Du Xingwen interrupted: "Don't you see that I'm busy?" Just say I'm not there, send it away! ”
Xiaolian looked aggrieved and muttered tremblingly: "However, there is an old woman among them, who said it was your aunt!" ”
Du Xingwen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said in a daze: "What did you say?" Is it my aunt? ”
Xiaolian replied with a sad face: "That's what the old woman said! ”
Du Xingwen put down the account book in his hand and said hurriedly: "Let's go, come with me and have a look!" ”
Du Xingwen hurriedly came to the hall, and looked at Du Huizhen, who was sitting on the Hu chair, and immediately raised his eyebrows, like a child, ran to Du Huizhen quickly, and said happily: "Aunt! It's you! ”
Du Huizhen got up, reached out and patted Du Xingwen's arm, and said kindly: "Xingwen, you have grown so tall, you are an adult!" Then he smiled and said: "It's not too young, how can you still be as anxious as when you were a child!" ”
Du Xingwen touched his head with a smile and said, "What did my aunt say?" Haven't I always been a child in front of you? Suddenly thinking of something, he hurriedly said: "By the way, aunt, where have you been all these years?" Daddy always talks about you! ”
When Du Huizhen heard this, she was slightly stunned and said, "Brother-it's okay!" ”
"Good! It may be better to know that you are back! Du Xingwen motioned for Du Huizhen to sit down quickly, and said excitedly.
Du Huizhen had some complaints about her brother because of the events of the past, but now they are approaching their twilight years, and some of the past has faded. Casually responded: "That's good!" ”
Du Xingwen looked at Zhang Lao on the side, hesitated slightly, and asked Du Huizhen: "Auntie, this is the person you are thinking of!" ”
Du Huizhen was a little embarrassed when she was mentioned by the juniors, but she still nodded and replied: "En! Approaching the twilight of his life, his aunt has reunited with him, if you recognize him, just call your uncle! ”
When Du Xingwen was a child, his father was relatively strict, and only his aunt loved him very much. Without hesitation, he saluted: "Uncle! ”
Zhang Lao stroked the goat's whiskers, smiled and agreed: "En! ”
The cuckoo, who was a little dumbfounded on the side, bit his lip and walked up to Du Huizhen. "Auntie, I'm ...... just now"
What did Du Juan want to say, Du Huizhen understood in her heart, waved her hand and said: "The matter of Fang Cai, Juan Er did the right thing, how can you casually let people run to our Du family to recognize relatives!" Holding Du Juan's hand, he looked up and down: "Juan Er should be sixteen years old this year!" Look at this look so handsome, after a while, I'm afraid that the person who proposes the family will kick the door of our house to smash! ”
When Du Juan heard Du Huizhen's praise, he was overjoyed in his heart, and when he heard the words behind him, he said shyly: "Aunt - people are still young, so don't get married, if you want to marry, you have to be like your aunt, find someone you love, even if you can't go to the twilight in your life!" ”
Suddenly, a deep, hoarse voice came from the back hall. "Who is looking for someone to love?"
Qin Xuan turned around and saw an old man dressed in a blue-gray robe with some gray hair, slowly walking behind the support of a maid. His complexion was haggard, his face was wrinkled, and his neck was a little swollen. Qin Xuan muttered in his heart: This should be his aunt's brother Du Chengming, why is his neck so thick? Could it be that you have a big neck disease?
When Du Juan heard the sound, he was a little nervous, quietly hid behind Du Huizhen, and said softly: "Auntie, my father is here, I guess he is going to scold me again!" ”
When Du Huizhen saw Du Chengming, her whole body trembled slightly. Du Chengming put the maid away, stepped forward quickly, and said with a smile: "Zhen'er, you're back!" It's all because my brother was confused back then, which made you waste half of your life. Now that you're back, don't go! Glancing at Elder Zhang, who was a little nervous, he was stunned, but immediately continued: "The matter between you and Brother Yuan Han is that my brother can't stand you, from now on, you will live here, let my brother make up for it!" ”
Du Huizhen's eyes welled up in tears, and she sobbed: "Brother-"
Du Chengming stretched out his hand to help wipe the tears on Du Huizhen's face, and said in a peaceful tone: "Okay, don't cry!" Didn't you just talk about laughing and laughing, why did you cry and mourn when you saw me! He tilted his head slightly, looked at the cuckoo and quipped: "It's still your ability to be an aunt, and when we met, Juan Er wants to learn from you and find someone to love!" ”
When the cuckoo heard her father laughing at her, she said coquettishly: "Hmph, how can you make fun of people, daddy!" ”
The atmosphere then became a little lively. Du Chengming pulled Zhang Lao and Du Huizhen to the side to chat about family life, and Du Xingwen also walked to Qin Xuan to talk. "I don't know, what do you call this son? What is the relationship with my aunt? ”
Qin Xuan said secretly: This relationship is a bit complicated, how should I explain it to him? After sorting out his thoughts a little, he said: "Aunt Ling is now my aunt, and you and I are also relatives of the same generation." My surname is Qin Mingxuan, and I am younger than you, so I will call you Brother Du! ”
When Du Xingwen heard Qin Xuan's words, he thought for a long time before he understood what the relationship was. smiled and replied: "Then I will entrust you and call you Brother Qin!" ”
Then Qin Xuan introduced Qian Ruyu and others one by one, and then talked and laughed with the honest Du Xingwen.
