A quarter of an hour later, Du Yingzhu's girl came over, still holding a few clothes in her hands. Jin Xi'er stopped her at the door and took her to see Chu Huaixian first. Chu Huaixian was in the room with a gloomy face, and he had hardly spoken since this incident came out. Master Gong stayed stunned, and he couldn't say anything.

Seeing the girl come in, Chu Huaixian said coldly: "When did your girl come?" The girl didn't understand what was going on, so she owed her body and said, "I'm playing with Miss Zhuang by the water, I don't want to splash my clothes." Because it was close to here, I met Xiaochu girl and said that the son was not there, so our girl came over. ”

Xiao Chu said I wasn't there? Chu Huaixian didn't have the spirit to be angry with Xiao Chu. Lin Xiaochu doesn't come back every few days, and she won't stop. Du Yingzhu's girl saw Chu Huaixian pondering, afraid that he would not believe it, so she showed him the clothes in her hand: "Miss Xiaochu said that she has dry clothes, you can ask the girl to change them first, and said that she was afraid that it would not be good, so let me go back and get the girl's clothes." Childe, please see, this burden is there. ”

Chu Huaiguan waved his hand: "Go, your girl was frightened next door, you go over and comfort her." ”

When the girl went out, Master Gong opened her mouth in embarrassment: "Childe, it's good for me to leave." Chu Huaixian understated: "You have to stay, the girl who went out just now is from Lord Du Zilin's family." Lord Gong was even more anxious, his only thought was to understand one thing, Lord Du had a daughter to be married. Lord Gong didn't think much about it, and knelt down at Chu Huaixian's feet: "Please ask Gongzi to save me." ”

Chu Huaixian still spoke softly: "Adults get up and speak, but they can't say this sentence yet." Seeing that he seemed to be an old monk, Lord Gong didn't take it to heart, and didn't dare to get up, but just begged him: "If Lord Du knows, it will be difficult to protect the life of the lower official." ”

Chu Huaixian, who was sitting upright, looked at Lord Gong anxiously, and then smiled slowly: "My lord, is there a marriage match in the family?" "Lord Gong is a spirit, and I don't like it very much. Lord Du himself is a bit snobbish, and he doesn't look down on a poor Beijing official like him, and besides, Lord Gong is not on the same side as Prime Minister Zhang Cheng in terms of political views. He knelt on the spot, pondering the possibility, when he heard footsteps outside, and Jin Xi'er replied outside the room: "Lord Du and Mrs. Du have arrived. "It was Chu Huaixian who asked him to invite him.

"My lord comes with me," Chu Huaixian got up and walked outside, not forgetting to speak to Lord Gong. Master Gong was helpless, so he could only get up and go out.

Chu Huaixian welcomed Master Du into the room and asked Mrs. Du to see her daughter. Jin Cai firmly guarded the door outside, not allowing others to come close and disturb the conversation inside. When Jin Xi'er, who went to find Xiaochu, came back, the conversation inside was not over yet. Jin Cai whispered: "Mrs. Du also went in, first began to lose her temper inside, and now her voice is quiet." "As a family member, Jin Xi'er and Jin Cai both understand that Miss Du's family matter is settled. The ancients wanted to save face, and the girl was seen as disheveled, so she either committed suicide or married him.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door again, and Master Du came out with a straight face and a beard, his face was already blue with anger; Mrs. Du's face was gloomy, with the appearance that she would faint at any time. Master Gong, who walked at the back, didn't like it either. walked out of the door, bowed down to the back of Lord Du and his wife, and said, "Mrs. Du, walk slowly." Mrs. Du turned around and was furious, trying to smack him, but she endured it, brushed her sleeves and walked away. When Lord Du heard him, he let out a long sigh and said weakly to Lord Gong, "You come with me." Looking at Chu Huaixian who was sent out together, Master Du also thanked him: "Huaixian, thank you for taking care of me." Master Du's voice suddenly aged a lot. Chu Huaixian is always polite to his father, bowed down and said, "This is what the little nephew should be." ”

Master Du sighed gloomily, turned around and walked away a few steps, and then turned back to look at Master Gong, who was still stunned there, and sighed and beckoned. Lord Gong is in the clouds today, and this matter has changed too much. He was dizzy and had to keep up.

Du Yingzhu left first just now, crying and leaving. Wait until the Du family goes back, and Jin Xi'er goes back and forth to Chu Huaixian: "Xiao Chu went to the stable, led a horse and left." Chu Huaixian also sighed like Master Du just now, and said to Jin Xi'er: "She is not familiar with people in Beijing, Xiaoyi is still at home, where can she go?" It's just that I'm doing something like this, I'm afraid I'll get angry and hide out. You go back to let people be optimistic, and then go to Qin Ji Shop, Liang Gongzi and Gong's house to have a look. I'm really angry when I see her don't be frightened, let her stay outside for a few days. "I said that Chu Huaixian turned around and went in, if Xiao Chu was in front of him, he would definitely beat her hard.

When Mrs. Chu came back, Chu Huaixian replied to her alone: "Tell Uncle Du that I will let my grandmother be a matchmaker, and I will choose an auspicious day for Miss Du this month to make a family appointment, and I will get married before the end of the year." Old Madam Chu sighed when she heard it: "The reputation of this girl's family is the most important, so Xiang Zhi and the surname Wei are so angry that I don't want to hurt her." Later, I learned that there was no private teaching, but I liked someone casually, which shouldn't be. Old Mrs. Chu promised to be a matchmaker for the Du family, and Chu Huaixian said a few more words, without mentioning Xiao Chu.

At this time, at the bottom of the Du family, Mrs. Du was so angry that she scolded the chickens and dogs. Du Yingzhu could only cry in the room and couldn't say anything. Mrs. Du lost her temper before she came to ask her daughter, "How do you usually teach you?" How can you do something like this? Du Yingzhu cried and said: "I was annoyed with Miss Zhuang, she pushed me, and I fell into the river." When I go ashore, my clothes are wet and sticky to my body, and I am far away from here, so how can my daughter walk back? Xiao Chu came over, and he was also anxious for me, so he said that Brother Chu was not there, and asked me to go over to change my clothes. I went, asked the girl to come back to get the clothes, and Xiao Chu said to go out and fetch water for me. I was alone in the room, and I was frightened and screamed when several toads jumped in through the window. Speaking of this, Du Yingzhu cried even more: "How do you know that the toad will come out of Brother Chu's room!" Du Yingzhu was angry, annoyed and hateful, got up and ran to the corner of the table to bump: "Let me marry him, I won't live anymore." ”

There was no one else in the room, Mrs. Du was frightened and grabbed Du Yingzhu, Du Yingzhu simply sat on the ground, and cried: "I don't marry, I don't marry him." Gong was accompanied by Du to come out of the room, hearing such a cry, Du was not without embarrassment, no matter how angry he was, he had to cover up: "Go slowly, Ming'er will go back to Beijing, come to the house to drink tea." Master Gong just endured his anger, and when he heard the crying in the room, he changed again, and scolded himself for being a toad. Lord Gong, who was not handsome and graceful, said from between his teeth to Lord Du, who was smiling awkwardly: "I will pay a visit to Lord Gong tomorrow." ”

Master Gong, who walked away, was also very angry, and I was not satisfied with this family matter. For the sake of the reputation of your Du family's daughter, Gongzi Chu insisted on protecting the mountain, and Lord Du was stunned at first, but when he understood it, he also insisted on engaging his family. Lord Gong thought about the scolding just now, and said hatefully: "If you don't marry me, I still feel refreshed." ”

When Mr. Du, who had sent Mr. Gong away, went back to his room, he came in and scolded: "Get up, what do you look like when you sit on the ground?" When the pampered Du Yingzhu saw her father, she cried even more reluctantly: "If I don't marry him, let me marry him, and I will die." Lord Du trembled with anger, slapped her face, and scolded: "The rebel girl has lost face by misconduct, and she will be embarrassed by her father." As he spoke, he slapped him hard.

These two slaps stunned Du Yingzhu, and she covered her face and didn't dare to cry anymore. Mrs. Du burst into tears, stepped forward to hug her daughter and said to Master Du: "Let our mother and daughter die together, you will take advantage of your heart." Lord Du's beard trembled with anger, and he pointed to Mrs. Du's nose and said, "Who told her to run to the lower part of the Chu family to change clothes?" Okay, what clothes do you change, why do you run out again? ”

Mrs. Du wiped her tears and asked her husband to sit down, and asked Du Yingzhu to say the words again. Master Du heard Shen groan: "Why are you and Miss Zhuang fighting?" Du Yingzhu said it unclearly. When Master Du asked clearly, he was angry again. Seeing the two slap marks on her daughter's face, she couldn't bear to beat her again, so she only scolded Mrs. Du: "You raised a good daughter." I told you, don't be in a hurry with the Chu family, don't be too anxious! He just likes a girl, so he instigates others to bully him. Let Huaixian see it again, no wonder he advocated this family affair just now, and he was not sad at all. Then he pointed at his daughter and scolded: "If you don't enter the door, you must first commit the seven out of jealousy." You have today's affairs, and you are asking for it. ”

Mrs. Du, who was eccentric and protective of her shortcomings, calmed down and slowly said to Master Du: "If Miss Zhuang is good, how can she be instigated by Yingzhu to make things difficult together?" She has been there to regret and come to find Yingzhu again. Lord Zhuang has a high rank, of course Miss Zhuang doesn't take your daughter to heart, and pushes her into the water in front of people, is this right? Besides, there are many doubts about this matter today, Xiao Chu girl has only been bullied and oppressed by Miss Zhuang, and they are definitely not in a group. But suddenly she appeared and led Yingzhu to the lower part of the Chu family, saying that the son was not there, but she said it. When Yingzhu was not dressed in the room, a few toads suddenly jumped in the window, and there were many doubts about this matter. Why don't they jump into other windows? You and I have lived here for two days, have you ever seen a toad jumping in? ”

Mrs. Du said, Du Yingzhu cried even more, and kept saying: "I was calculated, and my father came to beat me." Lord Du was so upset by crying that he didn't know if he was right, or Mrs. Du was right. It's just rough and sounds reasonable. He flicked his sleeves vigorously, got up and said, "If someone calculates, my father will find it for you." But this family affair must be done! He said coldly to his wife: "I look at that Gong boy, he still doesn't mean to be happy." seems to think that Yingzhu is an inappropriate person when something like this happened today. Madame, teach your daughter well and make her understand things. This family affair cannot be changed! ”

When night came, there was silence everywhere, except for a few frogs in the lotus pond from time to time. This frog chirping made Chu Huaixian, who was already angry, even more irritable, and he turned over and thought about Xiao Chu again. Where to rest tonight? Did Jin Xi'er find her and comfort her? If you think about it again, you have to scare her. Xiao Chu's idea was originally calculated by Childe himself!
