Of course, Cen Yin also saw the two sisters, got up gracefully, and watched the sisters in the courtyard gradually approach.

At the end of April, the spring is thick, and the courtyard is full of flowers, a purple and red, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.

The sisters walked unhurriedly, and under the background of the flowers, they were radiant and more delicate than flowers.

Cen Yin's narrow eyes were slightly in a trance, and his memory suddenly returned to the scene when they met by chance in the suburbs of Beijing four years ago......

In the blink of an eye, four years have passed.

Duanmu Fei is also thirteen years old, and his face has gradually grown, and he is slim.

Both of their sisters have fair skin like jade, shining eyes, facial features and temperament are not very similar, the elder sister is hearty and bright, with a bit of chivalrous heroism; The younger sister is clever and cute, and she is a little cunning like a cat and a fox.

Who can see that these delicate sisters are a pair of orphan daughters without a father and mother, who once struggled to survive in this capital......

Sometimes, Cen Yin would think that if the Zhenbei Mansion had not been destroyed back then, and the northern border was still safe and peaceful, would Duanmulang and the Li family still be alive now, and would Duanmujun's life be another situation......

However, there are no "ifs" in life.

Only the present and the future.

Cen Yin's eyes became unusually deep and determined.

"Master Cen ."

The two sisters quickly walked to the center of the hall and saluted Cen Yin, and also woke Cen Yin from that brief suddenness.

Cen Yin smiled at the sisters, and all three sat down.

Cen Yin pointed to the Buddha lamp placed on the desk, and said to Duanmujun: "Duanmu girl, this is the Buddha lamp I asked for from Lingyin Temple." ”

Originally, Cen Yin could have asked his subordinates to send this Buddha lamp, but when the words came to his lips, he still changed his words, and couldn't help but run this trip in person, and it was on the night of his return.

As soon as he heard Lingyin Temple, Duanmufei's eyes lit up, and he was even more excited than Duanmuxuan.

Since she arrived in Jiangnan, she has been trapped in Gusu City, and she has never had a chance to go to Lingyin Temple......

Wait a minute. Duanmu Fei suddenly thought of something, her long eyelashes trembled, Cen Yin "Your nobles are busy", she still has nothing to do.

Duanmufei hurriedly went to hold tea, a person like her who has no ambitions is still okay to drink tea.

Duanmu Fei accidentally flew out of the sky.

Duanmu Jun didn't pay attention to her sister, her eyes fell on the Buddha lamp intently, and she took it from Cen Yin's hand with her own hands.

Her eyes were dark and bright, and the corners of her lips curled up little by little.

"Thank you, Master Cen." Duanmujun raised his eyes to look at Cen Yin, his pupils overflowing, "I will offer it in the small Buddha hall and pray sincerely." ”

He never broke his promise to her.

"The houses in Jinli Hutong have been repaired, I went to see it at the beginning of the month, and according to your suggestion, it was repaired just right." Duanmu Jun said with a smile, "Next time, I'll invite you to take a look." ”

Of course! The little scorpion on the side thought as a matter of course: After the overseer's care, can this house not be perfected?!

Cen Yin almost ignored the sparkling eyes that looked directly at Duanmujun, and vaguely replied "Another day", and turned his head to serve the tea cup on the side.

Golden Carp Alley?! Duanmu Fei came back to his senses, and after being stunned, he remembered that they were talking about the house that his sister bought on Zhongchen Street. Before she left Beijing last year, the house had not yet been repaired, and now it has been repaired?

Listening to my sister's meaning, it seems that Cen Yin later contributed to the repair of the house...... Duanmufei looked at Duanmujun, then at Cen Yin, and then at the Buddha lamp, and always felt that something was wrong......

What is it exactly?

Duanmufei's little face wrinkled tightly together, and he always felt that something vague in his heart was about to come out.

Well, she just needs a little hint.

Duanmufei looked at Cen Yin again, but saw that Cen Yin had already put down the teacup, stood up, arched his hand and said, "I'll take my leave first." ”

Duanmujun thought that Cen Yin had just returned to Beijing, and he must have been very busy, so he got up with a smile: "Master Cen, I just happened to drop you off." ”

Duanmu Fei continued to be her sister's little tail, and she also stood up obediently, and the two of them sent Cen Yin to the Yimen.

Then, the sisters first brought the Buddha lantern back to Zhanqing Temple, and then went to Yongxi Hall again.

The departure of the two sisters was just two teas, and the Yongxi Hall was still full, and the people in each room did not leave, and Duanmuxian and Yang Xuyao had not yet returned, and there was no change before they left.

The curious eyes of everyone shot towards the two sisters in unison, looking Duanmu up and down one by one, and there was silence around them.

Xiao He's eyes were so hot that they almost burned.

Duanmujun ignored everyone's gaze and sat down again.

Duanmu Fei's ass had just touched the chair, when he heard Duanmu Heng's calm voice: "Fourth sister, what books have you read in the past six months?" ”

Duanmufei's shoulders almost didn't collapse, her instinct was right, the big brother really set his eyes on her again!

Duanmu Fei tried to fool the past, and said with a very well-behaved and cute smile: "Big brother, I often go to Taifu to study with Cousin Hanxing. "She's very well-behaved.

Duanmu Heng was not so easily fooled, and asked again, "What did Taifu teach?" ”

Duanmufei's scalp was almost numb, she had been to class for a few days, but that was when she was unlucky on the boat and was arrested, she didn't listen carefully to what the masters said......

Duanmujun looked at the two, the corners of his lips were slightly curled, his eyes were soft, and he felt that the relationship between the two brothers and sisters was really good.

Xiao He stared at the smile on the corner of Duanmujun's lips, and his fingers almost crushed the teacup in his hand. Duanmujun is proud of the spring breeze, and she pity her sister Qi......

"Sister Wei!"

Xiao He suddenly called out, her voice was a little sharp, a little high, and it was particularly harsh in the room.

Knowing that Xiao He's people immediately heard a little bit of the taste of those who are not good and those who are good are not coming, the fourth lady and the fifth lady exchanged a look with each other, and they were all waiting to see a good show.

Xiao He's yin and yang continued strangely: "I heard that you have already decided on a family affair, this is a happy event, why are you still hiding it from us?" ”

Xiao He's smile and words were amazing, which made the others suddenly realize, and a certain guess appeared in their hearts:

Could it be that Zeng Gongzi is the future uncle?

A curious gaze looked at Duanmu Jun from Xiao He's again, and no one noticed that Duanmu Xian frowned, and a touch of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Duanmujun's expression did not change, and he didn't care about the eyes that were placed on her at all, and he still looked down and generous, "Second aunt, whether my marriage has been decided, I don't care about you." ”

The corners of Xiao He's eyes twitched, he sighed faintly, and said righteously: "It stands to reason that my aunt shouldn't care about her niece's marriage, but, sister, your marriage is not just your business." ”

"You, the eldest sister, have never married, and the people here may think that our Duanmu family has no rules, and Sister Qi has to be married by the emperor, and even Brother Heng'er's marriage will be delayed."

"Sister Jun, it's not your aunt who said you, you have decided on someone, so you will marry early, what is it like to always rely on your mother's family?!"

"What kind of system did that Zeng Gongzi come to the door once, twice, three times?!"

"What a shame! People here don't know, and they think that our Duanmu family is a green building! ”

Xiao He's words are sharper and sharper, and every sentence is more ugly than the other, and in the last sentence, it is almost heartbreaking!

After the words fell, the hall was silent, everyone closed their lips and remained silent, and the people were even more shocked and silent, and the air was heavy, as if a storm was coming.

The second old man, Duanmu Chao, frowned, although he also felt that it was indeed unseemly for a prince from Beppu to come to the door all the time, but Xiao He's words were too ugly.

She said that the Duanmu family was a green building, so what is the boy and girl in the family? ! His wife, these years have become more and more out of tune!

The old men and ladies in the four bedrooms and five bedrooms also looked at each other secretly, although they guessed that Xiao He's was going to make trouble, but they didn't expect her to say so desperately and make such a big fuss.

Everyone looked at Duanmujun, wanting to see how she would respond.

Duanmujun has been in charge of the middle feed in the house for several years, who doesn't know that she is shrewd and powerful, and she doesn't suffer anything if she eats!

Duanmujun didn't know who Xiao He was talking about at first, thinking that she was making something out of nothing, but when Xiao He talked about Zeng Gongzi, he realized that she was talking about Cen Yin.

Duanmu Jun frowned delicately, very displeased.

The second aunt has always been at odds with herself, and many times, she doesn't bother to pay attention to her little belly chicken intestines.

However, how could Cen Gongzi let her speak foul language at will!

Cen Gongzi is such a good person, how can he be pulled by others at will!

"......" Duanmu Fei also understood, his expression was subtle, on the one hand, he was displeased because of Xiao He's foul language, and on the other hand, he was a little speechless.

Hey, can't she, the second aunt, live a good life? Why do you have a brain cramp every now and then!

Duanmu Jun looked at Xiao He quietly, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, and his expression became cold.

She turned her head to look at Duanmu Heng, and said with a straight face: "Ah Heng, you can ask your mother to have a doctor." ”

What Duanmu Jun means by this sentence is obvious.

Xiao He was like a bucket of hot oil poured on his head, and his whole body burned with a bang, from the inside out, from head to toe.

She stood up, raised her voice and said angrily: "You dare! ”

Duanmujun didn't look at Xiao He's and smiled faintly.

Immediately after, Duanmu Heng also stood up and nodded at Duanmu Heng.

When his eyes looked at Xiao He's, his eyes were like a deep pool, calm and waveless.

For his mother, he had learned not to hope. If there is no hope, there will be no disappointment.

"Mother, go back first." Duanmu Heng calmly said to Xiao He.

Xiao He felt as if he had been slapped in public by his son, and he was even more angry, and his cheeks were red with anger.

"Smack!"

She slapped her palm on the table, shaking the teacups on the table slightly, and two loquat on a fruit pot rolled down, rolling on the table.

Xiao He looked at Duanmu Heng angrily, wanting to scold him for being unfilial, and actually treated his mother like this for Duanmujun, but thinking about her son's future, she didn't dare to say the word "unfilial" after all, so she could only turn her anger to Duanmujun.

"Duanmujun," Xiao He took a step closer towards Duanmujun, "What kind of Gu did you give Brother Heng, he wants to help you like this!" ”

She wanted to push Duanmu Jun, but Duanmu Heng hurriedly stopped in front of her, this scene saw Duanmu Chao's face blue and white, and he only felt that their second room was about to become a joke, and he blocked Duanmu Chao's chest in one breath.

Duanmu Jun looked at Xiao He coldly, still angry at her for pulling Cen Yin into the water.

"Second aunt, I only want to ask you, do you dare to say this to your grandfather?" Duanmu Jun asked unhurriedly, and even the tone of his voice exuded a hint of coldness.

"......" Xiao He seemed to be choked by something, dumbfounded, his heartbeat thumped faster, and the person quickly calmed down.

How disgusted Duanmu Xian is with himself, Xiao He still knows, if it weren't for Duanmu Heng's future, if it weren't for the fear that Duanmu Heng's white jade would affect his career, Duanmu Xian was afraid that he would have let Duanmu Chao take a break from his career.

Xiao He's heart is weak and afraid.

Duanmujun didn't bother to say more to Xiao He's family, and ordered: "Come on, go and ask the doctor to come over." ”

A mother-in-law responded with low eyebrows and hurriedly ran out.

"Sister Jun," at this time, Duanmu Chao suddenly said, "Your second aunt's mind is not clear, don't worry about her." ”

Xiao He's must be "sick", and he must always give Duanmu and Duanmu scarf...... There is also an explanation from my father.

"I think it's better for your second aunt to live with your grandmother, and you can take care of each other." Duanmu Chao gritted his teeth.

Xiao He is his wife, of course he doesn't want to slap her in the face in public and slap his own face, but Xiao He is so disagreeable that he must let her learn a lesson.

"Daddy!" Duanmu Qi screamed in surprise, even more excited and unbelievable than Xiao He's.

Father, is he crazy?!

Mother has been complaining to her, and now in her father's eyes, she only has the Mo family and the cheap race born by the Mo family, but after all, the mother is the father's wife, and there is a big brother, and the father is just snubbing the mother at most, how can it not reach the point of spoiling the concubine and killing his wife!

However, reality slapped her hard!

Even if the mother has a gaffe, what she said is the truth, how can the father treat his mother like this for the sake of Duanmujun, an outsider, the other people are here! In the future, how should my mother face her concubine and her subordinates in this house!

Duanmu Qi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Duanmu Chao: "You are a married girl, and you can't take care of your mother's family affairs!" ”

Duanmuqi's face turned pale, and his mouth opened and closed. Yes, she is a married daughter, and now her mother's family can't control her, and similarly, she can't manage her mother's family affairs, as long as her father gives an order, someone can drive her out of Duanmu Mansion.

She is now relying on her mother's family in the Yang family, if she is kicked out, what will the people of the Yang family think?!

Duanmuqi hesitated.

"Come on, don't 'take' the second lady down!"

Duanmu gave an order, and immediately two mothers-in-law ran over, squeezed away Mama Song on the side, and clamped Xiao He's left and right.

Xiao He's heart was extremely cold, she looked at her husband, looked at her son, and then looked at her daughter, only to feel that everyone had betrayed her relatives, and her heart was like piercing holes, and the wind was whistling through the ......

And the smiling eyes of the others pierced her like dozens of needles, as if they were sneering, you also have today!

Suddenly, an inexplicable force arose from the bottom of Xiao He's heart, she struggled desperately, and shouted: "Duanmu Chao, you dare!" ”

Duanmu Chao really dared, but he was still so uncertain in his heart, and he became indifferent at this moment.

We can't let Xiao He's be embarrassed outside!

"Pull it down!"

Hearing Duanmu Chao's reprimand again, the mother-in-law didn't dare to delay any longer, and their subordinates worked harder and harder, and hurriedly dragged Xiao He down.

"Putting ......"

Xiao He still wanted to shout, but the mother-in-law was afraid that she would alarm the old lady, so she hurriedly covered Xiao He's mouth with her fat and rough palm, and whispered in her mouth: "Second lady, offended." ”

After a while, Xiao He was dragged out of the gate of the courtyard and disappeared, and the main hall was quiet, but the atmosphere was a little strange.

Duanmu Heng was still standing in place, looking expressionlessly in the direction of the courtyard gate, his dark eyes were gloomy and gloomy, and there was a bitterness at the bottom of his throat that only he knew.

The fourth lady and the fifth lady quietly exchanged a look.

According to them, Xiao He's family is not happy to find herself, she is jealous that Duanmu Jun will marry better than Duanmu Qi, so she will be angry in the future, now the girls of the Duanmu family are the daughters of the Shoufu Mansion, how can the husband's family be better than the Yang family in the future, right? !

But......

The fourth lady and the fifth lady quietly looked at Duanmujun, as if there was a worm crawling in their hearts, and they wanted to inquire who that Zeng Gongzi was.

This big family surnamed Zeng in Beijing said that there are not many things, and there should be a lot of less, and Duanmujun will not be a merchant if he can look at it, at least it is a noble family, right?

Everyone in each room was secretly thinking to themselves, but no one dared to ask, no one in the room spoke, and no one cared when Duanmuqi sat back on his stool.

Duanmujun didn't care about the stares around him at all, drank tea by himself, and occasionally talked to Duanmu Fei about tea and snacks.

After a while, Duanmuxian and Yang Xuyao came back one after the other, Duanmuxian's face was not very good-looking, and Yang Xuyaoze was respectful, with a courteous smile on the corner of his mouth, and he almost crossed the threshold with Duanmuxian.

Duanmuqi could barely look directly at Yang Xuyao, his face was so hot and painful that he felt extremely embarrassed.

She is a married daughter, and it is rare to go back to her parents' home, but her mother has been humiliated like this, whether it is Duanmujun, or her father and brother, they have not given themselves any face, and now her husband is so groveling...... fell in the eyes of others, especially in the eyes of Duanmujun and Duanmufei, maybe how to laugh at her!

Her face was disgraced!

Duanmu stood up suddenly, and said to Duanmu Xian: "Grandfather, it's not too early, we should go back too." ”

"There's curfew coming soon, it's time for you to go back." Duanmu Xian said casually, not noticing that Xiao He's was no longer here.

After the little couple saluted, they retreated, Duanmuqi subconsciously quickened his pace, and the figure almost fled.

Yang Yanxu naturally sensed that Duanmu Qi was sulking, frowned, and said in his heart: His wife looks pretty good, and her background is good, but she has a big temper.

The sky outside was already a dull gray-blue, revealing a faint silver moon, and night was about to fall completely.

After the Yang family's carriage drove out of Duanmu Mansion, it sped up and galloped all the way, at this time, the streets outside were empty, and there were no passers-by.

The carriage where the two of them sat was quite spacious, but Duanmuqi felt that the carriage was a little stuffy, so he opened the curtain on one side slightly, and the evening breeze came in.

"Qi'er, what's wrong with you? Who you off? Yang Xuyao sat beside her from opposite her, although he was impatient, he still patiently coaxed.

Duanmuqi looked at the receding scenery outside the window, the corners of his mouth tightened, and ignored him.

Yang Xuyao took Duanmuqi's little hand, gently rubbed her fingertips, and her voice became softer, "Qi'er, something happened at home recently...... he said vaguely, "I can only ask your grandfather for help." ”

Duanmuqi withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at Yang Xuyao.

There was a gauze lamp lit in the carriage, and the candles in it swayed as the carriage moved, so that the carriage also flickered.

Duanmu Qi has been married to the Yang family for a while, she knows that although the Yang family is not short of money, they are much richer than the Duanmu family, but since losing the title of Earl Qingyuan, now the tree is scattered, and the former old friend has long turned his face and does not recognize people, so he is helpless above the court, and now Yang Xuyao is still on an errand in the Beicheng Terracotta Division.

Duanmuqi also thought about begging her grandfather to change Yang Xuyao's errand, but her grandfather was still angry about Duanmuyuan's affairs and didn't want to pay attention to her at all.

Now, what happened to the Yang family?

"Husband, what's going on at home?" Duanmu Qi asked straight and straightforwardly.

Yang Xuyao's eyes wandered for a moment, avoiding the important and light, "Qi'er, you also know that now that the Yang family is in decline, there are always villains who take advantage of the danger of others to use some old accidents to play ......"

Who doesn't have some unsavory selfishness. Duanmuqi didn't pay much attention to it, and responded casually.

For her, it is a good thing that the Yang family has a request from the Duanmu family, so that she can live a better life in the Yang family, whether it is her mother-in-law or husband, everyone must respect her for three points.

Seeing that her face was slightly softened, Yang Xuyao took her in his arms and asked again, "Qi'er, are you unhappy that I went to ask my grandfather?" ”

The curtain that had been raised in the corner fell, keeping the evening breeze out of the carriage.

Duanmu Qi leaned on his broad chest, his ruddy cherry lips pursed slightly, and his eyes became dark and gloomy again when he remembered the scene that had just happened in Yongxi Hall.

"It's all to blame for Duanmujun!" Duanmuqi gritted his back molars, remembering that Yang Xuyao had never forgotten Duanmuqi, and his heart was like a flame burning.

Her eyes flashed, and she didn't plan to hide it for Duanmujun, she always wanted Yang Xuyao to see what kind of thing the woman he once fell in love with!

"You and your grandfather were not here just now, so I don't know, just a great-son visited, and my eldest sister went to meet someone in front of her, and I don't know when she hooked up with him, and she still refuses to admit it."

"Now the family is facing her, my mother is afraid of ruining the reputation of her sisters in the family, so she kindly reprimanded her for a sentence or two, but my father let my mother take her away......"

The more Duanmu Qi spoke, the more hated he became, and his delicate brows were twisted together.

Yang Xuyao was stunned, and his warm and generous palm rubbed and moved twice on Duanmu Qi's soft waist, and then he remembered that when he and Duanmu Xian returned to the main hall, they didn't seem to see his mother-in-law.

It turned out that this happened when they left.

"Qi'er, my father-in-law is also angry for a while, the husband and wife quarrel at the end of the bed, and soon it will be fine." Yang Xuyao coaxed a few words a little absent-mindedly, and his mind flashed: Who is Zeng Gongzi?!

Yang Xuyao immediately remembered that before he got into the carriage, the little servant whispered in his ear, saying that Cen Yin had come.

Could it be that Cen Yin is talking about?!

An unusually bright sharp light flashed under Yang Xuyao's eyes.

That little thing about their Yang family, if Cen Yin was willing to help, it would be nothing at all.

Cen Yin is the brother-in-law of the fourth girl of the Duanmu family, did he come to Duanmu Mansion for Duanmu Fei, or did he really fall in love with the eldest girl of the Duanmu family?

If it's the latter......

Bang bang bang!

Yang Xuyao's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and his eyes were half-drooping, covering the different colors at the bottom of his eyes.

With the regular sound of cars, the carriage soon drove out of Quanyu Street.

The night completely enveloped the capital, but the Yongxi Hall was still full, and everyone was sitting in place, and their eyes all fell on Duanmu Xian and Duanmu Heng in front of Duanmu Xian.

“…… The grandson failed to dissuade his mother in time, and asked his grandfather to punish him. ”

Duanmu Heng respectfully maintained a posture of pretentiousness and did not raise his head for a long time.
