When Du Lingshi heard this, he lowered his eyes, looking like he was down, but in fact, he bit his cheeks with hatred in his heart. This useless man has been with him for almost twenty years, and he has no interest at all. If it weren't for the fact that she still had some love for him in her heart, and he was wholeheartedly good to her, she would have kicked this useless man away a long time ago.

Look at him like that, I want to get that cheap girl back, dreaming!

"Master, the concubine will go down first. You drink the ginseng soup first, rest early, don't get tired. Du Lingshi stood up, wiped the corners of his eyes with an embroidered handkerchief, and admonished with a look of grievance and concern.

"Go down, don't think about it so much. I'll find something on Yiyi's side. Let's talk about this tomorrow! Du Heng stroked his forehead with one hand, didn't even look at Du Lingshi, and waved at her with the other hand, signaling her to go out.

In the early morning of the next day, Du Zhigao was very surprised when he saw Du Heng who appeared on the table.

"Dad, are you back?"

Du Heng glanced at his proudest son and nodded.

"Sit down!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Du Zilin walking in slowly.

This Du Mansion, since there is no Du Yi, Du Zilin feels that this life is getting better and better. There are no eyesores, and you can hum a song every day when you are in a good mood.

This Du Mansion is her family's. In the future, she will be the eldest lady of Du Mansion, and if she marries, she will be the eldest lady of Du Mansion. This identity is very useful, how many people have to slap her?

As the daughter of an imperial merchant, it is still very easy to find a son of an official eunuch. In addition, the family has a rich heritage, some of them are silver, and the dowry in the future, you don't have to think about it, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is ten miles of red makeup.

Those men, aren't they still at her pick? Besides, after Ling Fenfang became her sister-in-law, why don't you help her as a meritorious sister-in-law?

That Ling Fenfang is Miss Sun from the dignified Guogong Mansion, if it weren't for the fact that she was in Du Mansion, after her mother took charge of this family, how could she have the opportunity to tie up with the young lady of the Guogong Mansion?

But now all obstacles have been removed, just waiting for the eldest brother to marry Sister Fragrance, and she has ten miles of red makeup and a tough backstage mother's family.

When Du Zilin stepped into the dining room, she saw Du Heng sitting on the main seat, she was slightly stunned at first, and then a smile bloomed on her face: "Dad, you're back." My daughter misses you so much, did you bring a gift to someone when she came back this time? ”

Du Heng, who was still a little depressed in his heart, saw his daughter who was becoming more and more iconic in front of him, and a touch of pride burst out of his heart. His sons and daughters are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and they will have a good future in the future.

"Yes, yes, yes. When did Dad come back and didn't bring you a gift? When you finish breakfast, Daddy will bring it to you. Du Heng's hand was swayed from side to side by Du Zilin, and people also swayed from side to side.

"Really? It's really good, people know that dad is the best for others. What did Dad bring to his daughter this time? People can't wait to find out! ”

Du Zilin pouted, pulled Du Heng's sleeves and feet with both hands and swayed from side to side, making a disobedient appearance. It means that you want to know now, and you want to see now.

"You, okay, Daddy will tell you first. You are so relieved that you don't even want to eat. Du Heng's face smiled.

"This time, my father brought you cloisonne inlaid with red coral Ruyi golden hairpin, and your mother's gilt flower holder inlaid with olive-shaped yang green jade hairpin. Yiyi had few jewelry, so she prepared a golddee butterfly whisker inlaid with pearl bee love flower gold hairpin, gold inlaid with inverted hanging lotus flower step shake and cloisonnΓ© inlaid black agate earrings. Your eldest brother likes to drink tea, so he brought Junshan Silver Needle, and everyone didn't fall behind. ”

Du Heng made Du Zilin coquettish, and he had long forgotten that Du Yi was no longer in the mansion now. And he told who he had bought and what he had given him.

Du Zilin, who was originally very happy, suddenly turned red with anger when she heard that she and her mother were only one, but Du Yi's cheap girl had three. Although Du Yi was no longer in Du Mansion, her father was worried, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

His face changed, and he flicked the sleeves of his shirt that he was originally pulling: "Dad, you still think about her and bring her so many gifts." But what about her? Have you ever thought about you? Have you ever thought about this home? Since he disregarded the reputation of our Du Mansion, he did such a thing as eloping with his subordinates. ”

Du Heng saw his daughter's attitude change, and when he heard this, he was in no mood at the moment, and his face sank: "This family is Yiyi, and it will always be hers." She's your sister, don't you want to say that? Where did your upbringing go, did I teach you to speak ill of your sister behind your back like this since I was a child? ”

When Du Lingshi stepped into the dining room, he heard Du Heng's unhappy voice, and his heart beat a drum. The only thing that can make Du Heng so angry is Zilin's girl. Zhigao wouldn't be so eyeless and angry with his father early in the morning.

"Ouch, what's wrong with this early morning? Zilin girl, why did you anger your father early on? Your father has just come back, is there anything you father and daughter can not talk about after dinner? Okay, okay, let's eat first, Bigui, go to pass the meal. ”

This meal, Du Heng is destined to eat unpeacefully. Thinking that Yiyi's whereabouts are unknown now, where is he still in the mood to eat. He had a calm face, and his chopsticks barely moved, so that the mother and son present were also in a bad mood.

Du Zilin's hatred for Du Yi became stronger and stronger. That cheap girl is no longer in the house, and she can still affect their family like this. It's best that she doesn't appear in front of her in this life, otherwise she will have a lot of suffering.

Du Lingshi almost gritted the root of her teeth, she saw that Du Heng was still not giving up, and wanted to find Du Yi, and she vomited blood in her heart. She must get rid of her before the master finds that cheap girl.

Du Zhigao looked at the atmosphere at the dinner table, and his mood was not good. Does Dad still want to find the woman who made the next job, and then let him marry her? It's impossible, let alone this life, it's impossible even in the next life. His wife can only be fragrant.

Xu thought of Ling Fenfang, his face flashed with tenderness, and his heart throbbed slightly. But at that moment, when the attention was focused on the dinner table, a touch of irritability and impatience faintly emerged.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the oppressive atmosphere made everyone unbearable. Du Heng frowned, and the worry in his heart became heavier and heavier. Du Zilin had already held her breath, and when she saw her father like this, she couldn't help but say, "Dad, what are you thinking?" Do you still want to get her back when Doe did something like that? Why don't you want to think about it, what will people outside think of our Du Mansion if she does this? What will you think of me? I haven't decided to marry yet, do I want her to ruin my life? ”

When Du Lingshi heard this, he hurriedly raised his head and said sharply to Du Zilin: "Zilin, what is your attitude?" Is that what my mother taught you? ”

Du Zilin's eyes were red, tears hung in the corners of her eyes, she pouted, and looked stubborn: "I'm not wrong." = How old am I? Du Yi is like this now, we Fengcheng, who doesn't know? Now what are the people outside talking about our Du Mansion, do you know? They all said that the young lady of Du Mansion was uneducated, and the good daughter didn't do it, so she had to do this kind of thing. is also a secret knot, and the young ladies of Du Mansion are like this, let alone the young lady. They all said that it was time to bring her back to Shentan, otherwise there would be something wrong with our Du Fu's teachings. As soon as I went out, people were behind me, pointing at me. Dad, you only have Du Yi in your heart, but can you have me? I'm your daughter, have you ever thought about me? You want to find Doe back, have you ever thought that my reputation will be ruined by her? Have you ever thought about how I will find my in-laws in the future, and who else will want me? ”

Du Zilin said at the end, her eyes were red with grievances, and tears were dripping down one by one. Du Zhigao pursed his lips tightly and frowned slightly.

Just as Du Heng lowered his eyes and sighed, Du Lingshi glanced at Du Zilin with appreciation.

"Anyway, this home belongs to Yiyi. If you are afraid of being tired and ruining your reputation, let your mother take you back to Jixian County. When Yi Yi and Lu are ready, I will exchange Du Mansion for her. We are the Du Mansion of Jixian County, which has nothing to do with the Du Mansion of this Fengcheng, at most we are relatives. This will not tire your reputation, and it will be easy to find you an in-law in the future. In the past few years, my father has also made a lot of money. You don't have to worry about your dowry. Your future, Dad will arrange it for you. ”

When Du Zilin heard it, where was she willing to do it. Du Mansion in Ji County? What are you kidding, go back to that dilapidated place, even if you have money, your status is not as good as this Du Mansion. Back there, it's the daughter of a merchant. Shinong businessman, she knows it very well. When she returned there, she had a low status, which official eunuch was willing to marry her? It's good to be a concubine.

But this Du Mansion is different, this is the richest place in Fengcheng, plus there is also the name of the imperial merchant. Even if it is also a business business, but if you add an imperial character in front of it, it will be different.

He was working for the royal family, and nominally, he was also an official in the imperial court. Even if there is no real power and no money, it is different. Besides, behind which imperial merchant is not supported by a court official. If their family left this Du Mansion, it would be nothing.

"Daddy......" Du Zilin is really anxious now. If her father really wanted to do this, wouldn't everything she had planned with her mother before be in vain?

When Du Lingshi heard this, his heart also jumped. If the master didn't say it, she would have forgotten about their life in Jixian County. No matter what the conditions are, everything depends on the local officials. From time to time, we have to dredge up the relationship, and during the New Year's holidays, there is no less gifts. Today's lady has a birthday, tomorrow the aunt's birthday, and the day after tomorrow, there will be this little young master's full moon and so on.

It doesn't matter if you don't care about these, you have to talk to those people. Looking at people's faces, those who live are really aggrieved.

What now? She lives here, pinching the power of Du Mansion, as long as she stomps her feet, those people are afraid. Even the city lord has to give her three points of face, not to mention those who she used to befriend in Jixian County.

"Master, no matter what, everything will wait until you find Yiyi before making a decision. If we go back to Du Mansion in Jixian County now, there will be no one to take care of it in this mansion? The people outside spread those words, and it would be good to wait for the rumors to pass after a while. Anyway, Yiyi is not here now, and Zilin is still young, so she is not in a hurry to say goodbye. It's Zhigao, he's not too young, and Yiyi doesn't know what's going on now, so he can't let our son wait like this, right? ”

Du Zhigao heard his mother speak for him, and his heart was full of joy. When he opened his mouth and wanted to speak, he heard Du Heng say: "This matter, don't worry." Zhigao is not that big, and it is not too late to wait another two years. Yiyi's whereabouts are unknown now, do we want to do a happy event? What do outsiders think of us? Originally, Du Mansion was now on the cusp of the storm, and everyone knew that Zhigao was Yiyi's fiancΓ©. At this time, it is not appropriate for us to let Zhigao set a marriage or get married. Outsiders will say that we took advantage of Yiyi's absence to seize her property. I will not allow this to happen, and this home can only be Yiyi's. Now that she's gone, I'm just keeping it for her temporarily. I'll give her back when she comes back. What she wants is up to her to decide. The reason why my brother handed Du Mansion into my hands was because he trusted me, and I couldn't live up to my eldest brother's trust in me. Zhigao will wait for two years, and if Yiyi has not been found after two years, then the decision on marriage will be made. Now I can't give me anything, I'll send someone to find Yiyi, you don't have to worry about this matter. ”

Du Lingshi never dreamed that Du Heng would react like this. At the moment, I was so angry that I broke one of my fingernails, and I didn't feel any pain at all.

Seeing his daughter's gaze, he took a deep breath and showed a gentle smile: "Zilin, Zhigao, it's not wrong to listen to your father." When we find Yiyi, our top priority is to find Yiyi first. She was alone, outcast, unsafe, and didn't know what was going on now. Ay! She is your family no matter what you say. ”

When Du Heng heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and got up to leave. He handed over this home to Du Ling's to take care of, and he was right. No one could be more suitable than her.

After Du Heng left, Du Zilin stomped her feet: "Mother......"

Du Zhigao raised his eyes and glanced at his mother, turned to leave. Now he must go to the Guogong Mansion and tell Fragrance what happened, and he must be appeased.

After Du Lingshi waited for his son to leave, he waved his hand and let the subordinates disperse, then sat down in his position and said lazily: "I said you girl, what are you anxious about?" It's been a long time since you arrived. Your father said that he would wait for the girl to come back, and that would have to be the girl's life. Leave this matter to your mother, you can rest assured. In this Du Mansion, you are the only eldest lady, and there is no one. My mother will definitely take advantage of this position to find you a good husband and ensure that you have no worries in your life. ”

Du Lingshi lovingly reached out and touched this daughter who looked very similar to him when he was young, and his heart was full of strong maternal love.

For the sake of her children and her own future, she will sweep away all the obstacles in front of her.

Fleeting ......
