In the Du family's study, the second master was talking to Master Du.

“…… Listening to the news from the south, this plague is very powerful, not only is it extremely contagious, but once it is obtained, eight times out of ten will ......" The second old man sighed and said in a low voice, "Although I don't know what is going on with my eldest niece now, I'm afraid it's ......."

Old Man Du's eyes were full of haze, and when he heard this, he just closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.

The second master paused, and the words changed, "Speaking of which, although many disasters have been affected this time, and plagues have broken out one after another, Shanyin County and other places under the jurisdiction of my nephew and son-in-law have been relatively light because of their proper defense, and they have opened warehouses to help the victims, which is highly praised by Your Majesty......"

Seeing that Master Du did not react, he continued, "Now Your Majesty has ordered Lord Tian Zhihuan Tian to go to the south for disaster relief...... I think that Lord Natian was a protégé of the old grandfather back then......" he said in a low voice, "When the term of office of the nephew and son-in-law expires, the future will definitely be immeasurable." ”

Master Du still didn't speak, just opened his eyes and looked at him indifferently.

The second master has always been a little afraid of his brother, but he thought of the incident he had planned with his wife in the house before...... He sighed lightly, "In the past few years, the Song family has been in good spirits, and the niece and son-in-law are a competitive ...... It's a pity that our sister Zhi is blessed, but it's a pity that this is a good family business......"

Master Du said with a cold face, "I have something to say." ”

"Hey, hey!" The second master hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Master Du, and said tentatively, "In the opinion of the eldest brother, if my eldest niece really doesn't happen—"

Master Du's gaze slammed into him like a knife.

The second master gritted his teeth and said angrily, "The eldest brother is not to blame the younger brother for being outspoken: since he chose such a good east bed for Sister Zhi'er at the beginning, Zhi Yatou would have paid it back, otherwise, the marriage between our Du Song family can't just be broken!" ”

Master Du was so angry that he couldn't help laughing, "Why, now that your niece is alive or dead, you are already impatient?" ”

The second old man sneered, "What is the eldest brother talking about...... Sister Zhi is also my own niece, and it's too late for me to be the second uncle to hope that she will be well, so how can I ...... I'm not thinking about our Du family, it's for my little nephew! ”

Master Du sneered with a gloomy face.

The second old man defended with an aggrieved face, "Big brother, think about it, our Du family's talents have withered over the years, and there is no one among the juniors who stands out...... Now it's rare that Brother Zhao loves to read at a young age, and his qualifications are good, doesn't the eldest brother plan for him? ”

Seeing that Master Du frowned and wanted to speak, he hurriedly said, "Besides, even if the eldest brother disdains to rely on this relationship, he is confident that Brother Zhao will not need the support of these in-laws in the future, so what about Sister Guan?" He said with emotion, "The eldest niece is just such a drop of blood, if she really leaves like this, the eldest brother can bear to ask a four or five-year-old child to stay in that mansion?" A bereaved eldest daughter who has no siblings, once the new mother enters the door in the future, who will still look at her? ”

Master Du's brows furrowed into the word "Sichuan".

The second master said sincerely, "Although I don't like what I said, I really think about it for all of us." It would be best if the eldest niece was able to be auspicious this time, but if she couldn't, we had to prepare early - the Du family needs the in-laws of the Guogong Mansion, and Sister Guan also needs someone who really cares for her. ”dm

Master Du was silent for a while, and Fang said slowly, "You said so much...... Didn't you even think about the candidate? ”

The second old man was stunned, his mind turned around a few times in his mind, and he hesitated, "Reasoning, this candidate should naturally come out of the eldest brother's room...... It's just that the nieces and nephews below are all concubines, and they are equipped with the lintel of the Guogong Mansion...... It's too low. ”

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Master Du's eyes, and he looked at him and asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

The second master waited for this sentence all night, and he was overjoyed when he heard the words, but his face was very embarrassed, "This matter is really difficult to do...... When she wants to choose another virtuous and dignified girl from the clan to continue the strings for her nephew and son-in-law, I am afraid that this relationship is too far away, and she will not kiss Sister Guan's ......" He said and secretly glanced at Master Du, and said boldly, "I think about it...... Now that she is the same age and has the right background and temperament, it seems that there is only one Qing girl......"

Master Du hooked his lips coldly, the dark tide in his eyes rolled, and he was about to rush out almost the next moment, but his voice was unusually calm, "In this way, isn't it too wronged Sister Qing'er?" ”

The second master didn't notice any difference at all, and waved his hand with a righteous face, "As the daughter of the Du family, for the sake of the family, what is this grievance?"

Before he finished speaking, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, "Is this still human language that the second master said?!" ”

But I saw Mrs. Du walk in with scarlet eyes, as if she had listened to all the words of the second master just now.

The second old man hurriedly stood up, "Sister-in-law misunderstood......"

"Nothing to get wrong!" Mrs. Du tightened the handkerchief in her hand and stared at him, "My Ah Zhi will be fine, and my uncle will not marry again!" I advise the second master to die of this heart as soon as possible! Seeing her trembling with anger, Master Du was afraid that she would faint again, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand, "Why are you here?" ”

Mrs. Du's tears fell suddenly, and she said angrily, "If I don't come, how can I know that my Azhi's life and death are uncertain, and someone is rushing to send my daughter to the door!" ”

The second master's face suddenly turned blue and white for a while, and it was easy to find his voice, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and said angrily, "Why does my sister-in-law speak so ugly...... I'm not doing so much for our Du family—"

"Shut up!" Master Du shouted, "Your sister-in-law taught you, do you have the qualifications to argue?!" ”

The second master's eyes widened in disbelief, "Big brother......"

Master Du looked at him coldly, "I thought that you would always grow a little bit after being an official outside for so many years...... Who knew it was still so stubborn! ”

He said coldly, "Do you think that if you hug the big tree of the Guogong Mansion, you will be able to rise to the top?" Stop dreaming! Like you, you are so ambitious, you don't want to forge ahead, you only know how to speculate on the left side of the door all day long, and you don't want to have any interest in this life! ”

Master Du took a deep breath, "Don't say that I don't know what Rong Zhi is like now, it's-" Feeling his wife's hands tremble suddenly, he said sharply, "I will never be able to say Xiang for you, let the entire Du family be embarrassed with you!" ”

"Okay...... the second old man looked at Mrs. Du beside him angrily, "It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people!" No wonder my sister always said that my eldest brother had changed, but I just didn't believe it...... Now I've learned it myself! He stood up suddenly, "Big brother, remember today's words, don't regret it in the future!" With that, he slammed the door angrily and left.
