Gu Caiwei smiled when she heard it.

"Is she really sick, or did she hear that Hou Ye had become a celebrity in the court, and the limelight covered all the Lang Jun of the Du family, she was afraid that Hou Ye would use his power for personal gain and take revenge, so she was directly scared of illness?"

Du Ren lowered his head: "This subordinate is not clear." ”

He's also a wonderful guy. A sentence that is not clear definitely does not mean that he is not clear in his heart, on the contrary, he is like a mirror in his heart, but he knows that this kind of thing cannot be spoken, so he responds to the past vaguely.

Therefore, Gu Caiwei can be sure that the Duchess of Lai Guo is scared and sick!

Du Junqing lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Since Daddy told me to go back, let's go back!" ”

He has an average relationship with Duchess Lai, but he still has a little admiration for Duchess Lai.

After Gu Caiwei heard this, she had to nod. "Then let's go. Anyway, now they shouldn't dare to drug you anymore! ”

Du Junqing's eyes darkened slightly, and he pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

Now that they had decided, the three of them hurriedly changed their clothes and went to the Guogong Mansion.

Not surprisingly, the atmosphere in the Guogong Mansion was very strange. Of course, this weirdness is completely different from that of Princess Taiping's mansion. Princess Taiping was angry, so whenever she saw something unpleasant, she would be furious, causing everyone to endanger herself, and she didn't dare to say a word or make more moves, for fear of annoying her master again. However, the people in this mansion rushed up and down cautiously, but they were all out of fear of offending their guests.

From the moment they entered the door, Gu Caiwei found that the attitude of the people in this mansion towards them was so nervous that they didn't even dare to look at them more, as if they were afraid of accidentally upsetting them, and then they just threw their hands and left.

Du Yi looked all the way over, and he couldn't help but whisper to Gu Caiwei and bite his ear: "You're really right!" When people are powerful, they can indeed do whatever they want! Now, the entire Du family has been trampled under our feet. ”

"So, I told you not to worry about them. If you offend, you will be offended, and now they are not cautious about scolding us, for fear that we will ignore them? Gu Caiwei nodded with a smile.

Du Yi hurriedly nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice. "You're right. In the future, I will be like Daddy, strive to get ahead, and gain a firm foothold in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. In this way, our family can continue to do whatever we want in the future! ”

Burst!

Gu Caiwei couldn't help but rub the top of his head. "Look at your little bit of talent!"

Du Yi suddenly grinned. "I think it's a good wish! It's down-to-earth again, and it's not so easy to implement. How many people can't do it in a lifetime! ”

"Here we are."

Suddenly, Du Junqing's voice came from ahead. The two people who were whispering to each other hurriedly shut up, and saw that the small courtyard where the Duchess of Lai Guo lived was already in front of them.

It's ridiculous to say. Gu Caiwei has been in this body for so long, and she has been to this Laiguo Mansion a few times, but now it is the first time she has come to the residence of the Duchess of Laiguo.

If this news is known to others, I am afraid that she will be scolded for being disrespectful to her aunt as a daughter-in-law.

Gu Caiwei smiled lightly, she walked slowly to Du Junqing's side and grabbed his hand.

Sure enough, his hands were a little stiff and still trembling slightly. All this shows that he is very nervous now.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" She whispered comfort to him.

Du Junqing turned his head to look at her, and nodded his head. "Hmm."

Then, I saw Du Junze, the eldest son of the Du family, and his wife Pei Shi coming out together.

"Seventh brother, you can be regarded as here!" Du Junze hurriedly shouted affectionately, as if nothing had happened before, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him up, "Come with me to see A-Niang!" She has fallen ill since the last time you left, and now her condition is getting worse day by day, not only can she not get out of bed these days, but she has not eaten water. If it weren't for that, we wouldn't dare bother you! ”

Pei Shi came to Gu Caiwei. She stared at Gu Caiwei with complicated eyes for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "Since the seventh brother and sister are here, let's go and show my aunt too!" No number of doctors we've hired have helped, and now it's up to you. ”

Even the tone of his speech is awkward.

But Gu Caiwei is completely understandable.

Last time, she was angry and told Du Junze's secret in public. Although Du Junze and his wife were not there at that time, but the matter was so big at that time, even if Lai Guogong and his wife wanted to hide it, how could they hide it?

So early the next morning, Pei's already knew the news, and then naturally there was a landslide and a crack.

She was clamoring to reconcile with Du Junze, and scolded Duchess Lai Guo for being shameless, actually helping her son to deceive her daughter-in-law all the time, and screaming and jumping to go outside to drag out the maid's family and beat her to death. That whole day, the entire Guogong Mansion did not stop.

The loss is that now the Laiguo Mansion has little weight in Chang'an City. Otherwise, with Pei's trouble, I don't know how many incidents will happen!

But even so, it took a lot of effort for Lai Guogong's family to persuade Pei's family. Du Junze personally apologized to her and admitted his mistake, and offered to send all the children raised outside far away, and promised not to care about them in the future; Even the Duchess of Lai Guo took the initiative to bow her head and admit her mistake to her daughter-in-law; In the end, someone from Pei's mother's family came to persuade her daughter. With a multi-pronged approach, Pei's can be regarded as stopping.

However, this is only a superficial stop. Any woman, as long as she knows that her husband has done such a thing without her, and the people around her still know about it, and a group of people join forces to hide it from her, she will be panicked whenever she thinks about it. So now, her life is not easy, and Du Junze's life is not easy either. Even the entire Laiguo Mansion, everyone is also walking on thin ice, lest the Pei family will be in a bad mood and make trouble again.

And now seeing Gu Caiwei, the person who pierced Du Junze's disguise at the beginning, Pei's heart is even more mixed.

She didn't know how to be nice to this person. Do you hate her, or are you grateful to her?

If Gu Caiwei hadn't said this, she would probably not know until she died that her husband, who thought she was respectful to her, would actually do this kind of thing behind her back, and she even helped other women raise sons! But if Gu Caiwei didn't say it, their family would definitely be able to maintain the original harmonious atmosphere, and the family would be harmonious, where would they fall to the point where they can't help but quarrel after saying a few words like this?

Naturally, her attitude towards Gu Caiwei became weird.

So Gu Caiwei didn't care about Pei's attitude, she even took the initiative to smile at Pei's: "What are the symptoms of Auntie, sister-in-law, tell me carefully!" And which doctors have been invited to come over before, and what the doctors say, you can tell me. ”

Pei Shi stared at her for a long time before finally nodding. "Okay, I'll tell you."

The two of them walked in while talking, and the brothers Du Junqing and Du Junze in front of them were simpler, and after they said hello, they had already hurried inside.

Passing through a clearing at the front of the courtyard, we came to the bedroom of the Duchess of Laiguo. As soon as she lifted the curtain at the door, Gu Caiwei smelled a strong and bitter smell of medicine coming to her face, and she couldn't help frowning slightly.

Pei was carefully watching her reaction. When she saw Gu Caiwei like this, she hurriedly explained in a whisper: "Auntie has been taking medicine these days. The doctor said that her liver fire was rising and could not go down, which led to phlegm obsession, so she was prescribed a lot of coptis cork, and she has been eating this for the past two days. ”

How bitter is Coptis cork, Gu Caiwei was fed to her mouth by her grandfather when she recognized medicine when she was a child, and she still remembers the taste until now.

Even now that she thinks about it, she can't help but stick out her tongue quietly. "I see, I see."

Pei Shi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now there are many people standing in the room of Duchess Laiguo, and these are naturally the ladies of the Du family. When everyone saw them come in, they all took the initiative to step aside and make enough room for them to go to the Duchess of Laiguo.

Du Junqing and Gu Caiwei also passed generously.

Gu Caiwei found out: Duchess Lai Guo is really sick. She was much thinner than the last time she saw her, and her face was sallow, her eye sockets were sunken, her cheekbones were raised high, and there was hardly much flesh to be seen on her whole face. Although her eyes were closed, there was a difficult gasp in her throat, and she looked pitifully tight.

Du Junqing called softly: "A-Niang." ”

Duchess Lai Guo slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw clearly who was standing in front of the bed, two tears immediately rolled out of the corners of her eyes.

"Shichiro!" I only heard her miserable scream, and I hurriedly tried to get up. It was easy to get up with the help of the maid, and she was busy grabbing Du Junqing's hand, "Qilang, A-Niang is wrong!" That time it was A-Niang's ghost who sent God, I had something wrong with my brain, so I would do such a thing to you, in fact, I really didn't mean it! Although you are not my own child, you are also raised by me with hard work, and in my heart there is no difference between you and your other brothers. A-Niang is really wrong, can you forgive A-Niang? ”

She looked so sick, and then begged for mercy and admitted her mistakes in such a low voice as soon as she opened her mouth, which really took advantage of the time and place, and people couldn't be cruel to her.

Duchess Lai Guo is actually a smart person!

Gu Caiwei thought in her heart, she quietly looked around, and saw that the rest of the Du family all lowered their heads, as if they hadn't seen or heard anything. As for Lai Guogong? He didn't even see a ghost.

Du Junqing was originally a cold-hearted person, he lived for more than 20 years, and in fact, he didn't say a few words to Duchess Laiguo. Now that she was holding her head and saying so much, his reaction was not flattered, nor angry, but - scared!

No matter how Duchess Lai Guo pulled him and chattered, he hurriedly turned his head to Gu Caiwei to send a look for help.

Gu Caiwei was suddenly so amused.

Anyway, she knew that now was not the time to gloat, so she hurriedly stepped forward and broke the hand of Duchess Lai Guo to rescue Du Junqing, and then said coldly: "Auntie, don't say these unspeakable words again." Didn't you call us back today just to let everyone go? How can a family have an overnight feud? We forgave you. ”

Duchess Lai Guo was stunned, she was about to continue to grab Du Junqing's hand, but she took it back.

When the rest of the Du family heard this, they also looked happy.

"Seventh brother, I already knew that you were a big-hearted person, how could you really get along with your aunt and brothers?" Du Junze nodded excitedly.

In the face of his overtures, Du Junqing did not say anything, but looked directly at the Duchess of Laiguo: "Auntie, what else do you have to do when you ask us to come back, just say it clearly!" Since it's a family, there's no need to beat around the bush. ”

He said it so bluntly, as if they had called him back to take advantage of him!

Although it is said...... That's exactly what they think.

Duchess Lai Guo wants face. Hearing this, she couldn't hold her face.

Du Junze moved his mouth, but after all, he still couldn't say anything, so he could only look at Pei's eyes. Pei Shi gritted his teeth before he smiled at Gu Caiwei again: "Seventh brother and sister, you also see what Aunt looks like now." My aunt has indeed suffered too many sins these days, and she has invited so many doctors to come over and taken so many medicines, but she has not improved. Since you are a miracle doctor, then you should hurry up and show your aunt now! If you can cure your aunt, this can be regarded as your filial piety in front of your aunt. ”

Gu Caiwei chuckled. "Didn't the previous doctor say it? Auntie, she is caused by the liver fire, this is a heart disease, and it is difficult to cure it with direct medication. But didn't we just say that we would forgive her? Then this knot in her heart can be untied. As long as she keeps her mood in a good mood for the rest of the day, she will be fine in just three or five days. ”

Pei's meal.

That's not what they want.

"Although I said that, since my aunt is already sick like this, how can we, as juniors, watch her suffer like this? Seventh brother and sister, you are also a doctor, so help prescribe a pair of medicine for your aunt and help her get better as soon as possible! Pei Shi was busy urging again.

"That'll do fine." Gu Caiwei nodded, and then took the hand of the Duchess of Laiguo to check her pulse, "Those doctors are right, Auntie is those problems." But since the prescription that should be prescribed by other doctors has already been prescribed, I can't prescribe a better one. In this case, I'll give my aunt a recipe, and you can make her a copy every day. After two or three days of eating, she will definitely be fine. ”

Pei Shi nodded hurriedly. "Say it quickly!"

"This is also simple, you ask the kitchen to prepare a pig lung every day, wash it and cut it into small pieces, add water to stew with mung beans, turn to low heat and simmer slowly after boiling on high heat, stew for more than half an hour, stew the pig lungs and mung beans are rotten, and you can get out of the pot." Gu Caiwei said slowly, "If you feel that the taste is light, you can also add some pears, apricots, ginkgo seeds, millet or something to it as appropriate, and change the taste appropriately." This dish reduces liver fire, collects lung qi, fixes phlegm and asthma, and turns water into water, which is very useful. ”

After finishing speaking, she added: "In our countryside, if someone has a cough or something on the fire, go to the butcher shop and buy a pig lung and stew it, and almost one can be cured." ”

"Okay, okay, I remember, I'll let someone prepare it for Auntie!" Pei Shi hurriedly agreed, and then asked someone to prepare pig lungs.

When Duchess Lai Guo heard this, her face turned black and her eyes were full of disgust. "Pig lungs are so dirty, can't they be replaced with sheep lungs or cow lungs or something?"

"That's not going to work. Although the medicinal properties of cattle and sheep lungs and pig lungs overlap, there are also differences. And the beef and mutton originally had a warming effect, and if you eat too much, you will get angry, Auntie, you are now in a heavy fire, and you can't eat it anymore. So right now, pig lungs are the best choice. Gu Caiwei explained to her seriously.

Hearing her tell the truth, Duchess Lai Guo couldn't refute it at all, so she could only grit her teeth and admit it. It's just that now, her face is not much better than when Gu Caiwei and the others entered the door just now.

Seeing that they finished talking about the matter, Du Junze said to Du Junqing with a smile: "Okay, A-Niang is still sick now, let's not disturb her rest here." Brother, let's go out and talk! Daddy is also waiting for you to meet him in the study! ”

Du Junqing immediately bowed his head.

Gu Caiwei had already had enough of the bitter smell of medicine in the room, so she turned around and ran out without hesitation.

When he got outside, Du Junze pulled Du Junqing to walk through the study of Lai Guogong. Pei Shi pulled Gu Caiwei up: "Seventh brother and sister, let's go to the kitchen together!" Although I understand the pork lung mung bean soup you said, the people in the kitchen are stupid, and I'm afraid they won't be able to do it well. You'd better teach them first, and when we're done, won't we be at ease? ”

"She's not going to the kitchen, she's going to go with me." Du Junqing immediately said.

Pei Shi was stunned, and Du Junze was slightly gloomy: "Brother, are you protecting her so carefully?" Now in our family, who can still bully her? ”

Du Jun glanced at him lightly. "I'm worried that I'm not there, she's bullying others."

Du Junze was immediately choked and speechless.

Pei's face was also pale for a while, but neither of them could say anything to refute - after all, Gu Caiwei had proved with practical actions several times before that she was not a good bully. On the contrary, she is a bully!

But when she heard these words in Gu Caiwei's ears, she was not happy. She couldn't help but pinch Du Junqing: "What do you mean by this?" It makes me feel like I'm spilling all the time. I also look at people when I sprinkle it, isn't it just anyone who can let me splash it, okay? ”

Du Junqing was pinched and gasped, and he quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake. "Madam, it's wrong for your husband."

Gu Caiwei snorted softly with satisfaction.

This scene fell in the eyes of Du Junze and his wife, but they were shocked - how long has it been since the relationship between these two people has been so good? And it's still getting better and better for the eyes to see!

This is not a good thing for their Du family.

Du Junze was calm, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Seventh brother, since you want to take your seventh brother and sister, then bring it." We're all family, and there's nothing we can't let others know. ”

"But what about the pork lung soup in that case?" Pei whispered.

"Didn't I already tell you how to make it? Just let the kitchen do the same. The big deal is that it's hard to eat, but the effect is still there. Gu Caiwei responded indifferently.

The corners of Pei's mouth twitched several times when he heard this.

After saying this, Gu Caiwei had already left with Du Junqing. Du Junze diligently led them in front.

As for Pei's? She watched these people leave in a dashing manner, and stomped her feet hard: "If you don't want to cook yourself, forget it!" Anyway, no matter how unpalatable it is, it's not for me to eat, what do I care so much about? ”

With that, she also turned around and walked away.

Gu Caiwei and Du Junqing followed Du Junze to Lai Guogong's study, and saw that many people had gathered here.

Lai Guogong sat behind the table with a serious face, and he didn't know what he was thinking with his eyes down.

It was still the little maid who said: "Grandpa Guo, Qilangjun and Qiniangzi have arrived." ”

Lai Guogong seemed to wake up, and quickly raised his head.

"Daddy." Du Junqing stepped forward to salute, and Gu Caiwei and Du Yi followed closely to salute.

Lai Guogong hurriedly waved his hand. "It's good to be back, it's good to be back. You've already seen your aunt just now? ”

"I've seen it. Gu also gave her a prescription for dietary therapy, thinking that A-Niang would be able to get better soon. Du Junqing said slowly.

In front of Lai Guogong, his attitude was much more relaxed. Gu Caiwei saw it in her eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh again.

Lai Guogong nodded again and again when he heard this. "That's good, so I'm relieved. By the way, I called you over today, in addition to letting you see your aunt, I have one more thing to tell you. ”

"Daddy, please speak." Du Jun cleared his head.

"I have already decided to pass on the position of the prince to your brother."

Du Junqing's face froze at ease. Gu Caiwei couldn't help but sink her heart, and then she suddenly wanted to laugh.

"Do you need to be in such a hurry?" She asked softly, "Uncle, you're not that old!" ”

Du Junqing just glanced at her lightly, and a touch of shame appeared on Lai Guogong's old face, and he stumbled a little and said: "I am fifty or sixty years old, my body is not as good as day by day, and many things can no longer be done." Your brother is in the prime of life, and I can rest assured that the position of the prince of the country will be handed over to him. Now I just hope that you brothers can work together to raise the reputation of our Du clan again! ”

"Daddy, don't worry, the child will definitely do his best to let our Du clan regain the glory of their ancestors!" Du Junze hurriedly shouted excitedly.

Of course he was excited. Before Lai Guogong died, he had already passed the title of Duke Guogong to him. Then he will be the righteous Duke of Laiguo in the future, and all the resources in the Duke of Laiguo Mansion will be used by him. Just thinking about it makes him feel so good.

However, Gu Caiwei was very skeptical - why did the Laiguo Guild suddenly make such a decision? Is it to appease the messy Duchess of Laiguo? Or is it to give Pei's a reassuring pill to eat? Or is it both?

But no matter what the purpose is, this definitely has nothing to do with their Changning Marquis Mansion.

Then, Lai Guogong must have other purposes for calling them over in such a hurry.

Du Junqing naturally thought of it, so he directly bowed his hand to Du Junze: "In this case, the little brother will be here to congratulate Brother Lai on becoming the Duke of Lai Guo." ”

"Seventh brother, you are so polite, for my brother, I haven't congratulated you on becoming the general of the right guard, and now you are even more famous in the entire Chang'an City! Compared with you, my reputation as the Duke of Lai Guo is not worth mentioning at all. Although Du Junze said this, he was already smiling from ear to ear.

He even took the initiative to take Du Junqing's hand again. "No matter what happened before, in the days to come, our brothers must go hand in hand, support each other, and reproduce the original glory of the Du family together!"

Hey, obviously I had already told them not to go around the bend and not to go around the bend, but they still went around and around, and the detour is finally going straight to the point.

Gu Caiwei sneered in her heart, but Du Junqing directly withdrew her hand. "Brother, you're right, in the future, the Lai Guo Mansion will be supported by you alone."

"How could I be alone? Aren't there still seven brothers to you now? Du Junze hurriedly said, "You are now a celebrity in front of Her Majesty the Empress, and you still have a refined iron ore in your hand. ”

Du Junqing's face sank when he heard this. "Someone came looking for you? So how did you react? ”

"You just don't have to worry about this seventh brother, we don't pay attention to them. The gifts they sent to the door were also returned. Since we have not received your consent, how can we make our own decisions? Du Junze hurriedly comforted him.

Du Junqing breathed a sigh of relief.

But right away, he knew that he had let go of his breath too soon. Because, he immediately heard Du Junze say again: "But seventh brother, I have discussed it with my father in the past two days, and you have found this iron mine well, but you are the only one in the Hou Mansion, and the eighteenth lang is too young, and there are few people available around you." Now that other forces in Chang'an City are also eyeing this iron mine, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it if you alone! Especially now, Her Majesty the Empress didn't even have time to prepare for the fact that she asked you to go to Yongxing County with the people from the Ministry of War, I am afraid that you are a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and there is no return! ”

"Brother, do you think so?" Du Jun said lightly, neither anxious nor frightened.

Look at Gu Caiwei again, she was so bored that she lowered her head and began to play with the jade pendant on her waist.

Du Junze couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly.

He had obviously made the seriousness of the matter so clear, but Du Junqing and Gu Caiwei were both thick-skinned, no matter how far they explicitly hinted at it, these two people pretended to be crazy and stupid for him.

In desperation, he could only ask Lai Guogong for help.

Lai Guogong was helpless, but he could only say cheekily: "Qilang, Da Lang is right. You are indeed a little weaker now, and if someone really targets you and wants to grab the iron ore, you are afraid that you will not be able to fight them. At this time, you'd better have a few brothers around you to help out. “

Du Junqing slowly raised his head to look at him, but he still only pursed his lips and said nothing.

Gu Caiwei couldn't stand it anymore.

She was about to speak, but Du Junqing stopped her. "Don't say it, let me say it."

"Oh, well!" Gu Caiwei also nodded.

It was between him and his family. She is a married daughter-in-law, and she really doesn't have much weight to speak, especially now that the person who speaks is Lai Guogong.

Du Junqing slowly spoke: "Daddy, do you think that in this matter at the moment, do I need their help, or do they need to use this opportunity to enter the center of the imperial court?" ”

Lai Guogong was stunned, and a brother hurriedly whispered: "Seventh brother, have you made things so clear?" We are a family, we help each other, share the benefits together, and do our best to help each other when we encounter difficulties, isn't this how it should be? ”

"But until now, I don't know when you helped me? Can Brother Five say something to remind me? Du Junqing asked.

Du Wulang suddenly shut up and stopped talking.

Du Junqing looked at Lai Guogong again, and Lai Guogong's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to confront him head-on.

"That...... Shichiro, it's true that the family ignored you too much in the past. It's just that it's all in the past, so let's not bring it up again, okay? As for the future...... Well, I'll admit it, now we still need you to support your brothers and nephews. Our title of Duke of Laiguo is not of much use at all! ”

"Daddy!" Hearing this, Du Junze was not happy.

Lai Guogong looked at him coldly. "I'm just telling you the facts, what do you have to deny? You should also know in your heart that even if you become the Duke of Laiguo, our family is still only a third-class noble in Chang'an City, and you can't be on the stage. If you want to have a big development and a big breakthrough, now you can only rely on Shichiro! Since this is the case, then we should have an attitude of asking for people, what is the use of holding a lofty posture all the time? ”

Du Junze kept his face calm and did not speak.

Du Junqing's voice was cold for a moment: "Looking at my brother's appearance, you seem to be very reluctant to bow to me?" If that's the case, that's fine. I have already agreed with the Qin family's thirteen langs, this time we will go to Yongxing County, and several of his family's sons and nephews will go with us. ”

Du Junze suddenly couldn't pretend to be deep.

"Seventh brother, since you can bring outsiders, why don't you bring your own children and nephews? There are a lot of men available in our family! ”

"However, Qin Thirteen brought someone to beg me by himself." Du Junqing said.

The implication is self-evident.

Before they knocked on the side, Du Junqing and Gu Caiwei could pretend to be stupid. But now at this stage, Du Junze can't pretend.

He had just hesitated for a while, and one of the brothers had already taken the initiative to speak: "Seventh brother, I beg you, take me with you!" I don't ask for anything else, you just have to give me a similar position. Even if you leave me in Yongxing County to help you look at the mines, I don't mind! ”

This one is Du Junhong, the sixth-room brother who was beaten all over the ground by Gu Caiwei that night.

Before, they were single-minded, and it was very likely that they would inherit the Duke of Laiguo's Dafang Du Junze and a group of people. As a result, now, Du Junze has confirmed that he is about to become the Duke of Lai Guo, but he directly left Du Junze alone and began to hug Du Junqing's thigh. And the holding posture is called a simple and rude, and I don't know how to write the word implicit at all.

And with him opening, the other brothers suddenly let go of their reserves, and took the initiative to ask Du Junqing for officials. Some are for themselves, and some are for their children.

Yes, it's all begging, no one pretends to be 'I'm good for you' anymore, and they are still pretending to wait for Du Junqing to take the initiative to ask them for help.

Since everyone has put their attitudes so well, Du Junqing also bowed his head: "A few brothers are right, I am indeed short of manpower in the iron ore mine. Since the elder brothers are willing to come to help me, the younger brother naturally can't ask for it. But for a while, I don't know what you are suitable for, so you will have one person in one room first, and I will take it to Yongxing County, and then see the actual situation and then make specific arrangements. However, we have to say in advance that when we arrive in Yongxing County, everything they have to be arranged by me, and they must not make their own decisions, let alone dislike the bad arrangements I have made. Otherwise, I'll just send the people back. ”

"Of course! You just have to rest assured, there are no such insatiable people in our family! The brothers all nodded quickly.

Although they are also working as consuls in the imperial court, their official positions are pitifully low, and many of them are still idle. In this way, many children and grandchildren in the family are still not arranged! Now Du Junqing is willing to provide them with a position, and it is really closely related to the iron mine, so even if they are asked to guard the iron mine, they will definitely agree.

They are not stupid, and they have already calculated this account clearly in their hearts - even if the gate of the iron mine is guarded, this is also a credit. In the future, as long as the iron dug out of the iron ore is made into various sharp weapons and makes a contribution, he will naturally be able to get a share.

As long as there is merit, then you can be promoted to the knighthood. That's much more promising than guarding a false title in the court for the rest of your life!

Therefore, no matter what conditions Du Junqing proposed, they did not hesitate to agree.

Seeing that they agreed so quickly, Du Junqing naturally agreed to the matter with a lot of face.

So, he had five more men under his command.

When Du Junze saw this, he suddenly became anxious.

"Seventh brother, I was wrong!" He hurriedly seized an opportunity to speak, "Brother was wrong just now, Brother also needs your help urgently!" I'll agree to all the conditions you just mentioned! ”

Du Junqing stared at him for a while, and Du Junze began to be frightened until he saw it, and then he bowed his head. "Okay, I got it."

Du Junze hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lai Guogong also quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and he immediately laughed happily again: "Okay, you see, now that everyone has spoken, won't everything go smoothly?" It's all a family, and we can't write two Du characters in one stroke, so we still have to work together and struggle together in the future. ”

"That's what Daddy said." Du Junqing nodded hurriedly.

The other brothers of the Du family also followed suit.

Only Du Junze was so angry in his heart that he couldn't do it.

Obviously, he is already the Duke of Zhun Lai, but why do he still bow his head in front of Du Junqing, the marquis? And looking at Du Junqing's posture, he actually planned to step on his head, and he didn't plan to move his feet!

And himself, under their coercion and temptation, since he has lowered his head, it will be difficult to raise his head in the future.

Why did things come to this point? Obviously, his original plan was to show off his power in front of Du Junqing - look, what if you climb up to Di Ge Lao? You are just a third-grade official, as long as I become the Duke of Laiguo, it will be a first-grade title, much higher than you!

Outcome...... Before he could get complacent, the news that Du Junqing had iron ore in his hand came out, and he was dizzy on the spot.

Forget it, the iron mine is his, and that is the Du family. Then they kindly sent people to help him guard, which is still a great help to him!

However......

In the end, everything became their request for help from him. In the end, it became Du Junqing's kind-hearted brothers and nephews at home! Everyone should be grateful to Du Junqing!

This battle, he lost again, and he lost much worse than the last two.

Even, he still has a hunch - I'm afraid that the distance between him and Du Junqing will get bigger and bigger in the future, and if he continues to go forward, I'm afraid that he won't even have the opportunity to look up to Du Junqing!

Du Junze's chest was so painful that he couldn't do it, but he didn't dare to vent it, and he had to put on a smiling face: "Daddy is right." In the future, our family will have to work well and strive to gain a firm foothold in the court! ”

Seeing that his sons were living together in harmony again—at least in his eyes, Lai Guogong was in a good mood, so he hurriedly instructed the kitchen: "Come on, prepare a table of wine and food, I want to celebrate Qilang in advance!" ”

"Let's forget about the banquet!" Du Junqing immediately said.

Lai Guogong's face stiffened with a smile again, and the others also chuckled in their hearts!

The banquet at the Guogong Mansion is also a big shadow for Du Junqing. The haze that lingered in my heart last time has not completely dissipated, and now Lai Guogong said that he would set up a banquet again...... He would be a normal person who would refuse.

"Qilang, this ......" Lai Guogong wanted to explain something, but Du Junqing shook his head, "Daddy, you understand what you mean." The child also said that the matter has passed, and the child will not pursue it further. It's just that time is pressing, and we will go to Yongxing County the day after tomorrow, and there are still many things in the children's house that have not been packed. Now that I have come to visit A-Niang, I know that Daddy is still in good health, and the child is relieved. It's time for us to go. ”

No matter how tight his time is, how much more time can he spend on staying for a meal?

Lai Guogong knew that he was making up nonsense. But even as an elder, he found that he was not qualified to scold Du Junqing now.

After all, the last time the Duchess of Laiguo poisoned him, it was really too bad. Even afterwards, in order to ensure the tranquility of his home, he calmed down the turmoil. Duchess Lai Guo didn't get any lessons except for a slap from him, and the other accomplices were all dealt with by him, but what was the use?

Du Junqing's heart has been severely broken.

And after that, he even had the cheekiness to trick Du Junqing back, let Du Junqing forgive them, and take the men of the Du family to work in iron ore together. In fact, when he first planned this matter, his old face was red with shame.

And the more Du Junqing behaved calmly today, the more guilty he became.

That's why he thought about setting up a table of banquets and getting in touch with Du Junqing again. As a result, he almost forgot that Du Junqing had only planted it at the banquet last time......

Hey, he owes more and more to this child.

So Lai Guogong really didn't have the face to say anything to him now, so he hurriedly waved his hand. "In that case, then go back! Tomorrow, I will ask each room to send the selected children to the Hou Mansion, and they will be at your disposal in the future. ”

"Yes, the child is gone." Du Junqing immediately took Gu Caiwei and retreated.

However, even when he walked out of Lai Guogong's study, his face was still stiff, and there was an aura around him that no one was close to, so that the maids and maids around him only watched from a distance, and they were all frightened and hid to the side.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Gu Caiwei finally couldn't help but pinch Du Junqing's arm. "Have you packed enough? Now it's time to laugh! ”

Du Junqing immediately grinned at the corners of his mouth, and was about to release a smile on his face, when he saw Pei Shi leading two beautiful little maids on the opposite side to appear.

"Seventh brother, this is an apology prepared by my aunt for you and my younger siblings, and I plan to take it for you to use on the road." Pei said with a smile.

Seeing this, Gu Caiwei's eyes immediately burst into flames, and she exploded!
