Chapter 39: Genealogy

On the day of Chongyang, Yi'er got up early, and after a simple freshen-up, she went to the main room to ask Li Shi for peace, and Li Shi saw that she was still good-looking, so she was a little relieved, and left Yi'er to have breakfast with her.

After eating breakfast, Yi'er led Lan Qiao to look at it again in the yard to confirm that everything was normal, and Yi'er Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

Lan Qiao laughed at her and said, "Looking at the young lady's appearance, it's like a general who is going to fight is inspecting the camp!" ”

Yi'er glanced at her and said: "A few people around me, you see that even Lufu is busy, just you, as if you are nothing, and there are idle jokes about you Miss I, if you are idle again, I will send you to tea and dinner to help help!" ”

Lan Qiao was startled, and pouted, "Where are the slaves and maids idle?" Sister Qingli has already confessed, no matter how busy she is, there is no shortage of people waiting around Miss, so she let the slave maid always follow Miss. ”

Yi'er deliberately made a face and said, "Ouch, I said something about you, are you still using Qingli to press me?" I don't understand, whether I'm the master or Qingli is the master, why do you all listen to her one by one? ”

Lan Qiao naturally knew that Yi'er was joking with her, and she was not afraid at the moment, so she said seriously: "Of course Miss is the master, isn't it also what Miss said, what happened in Miss's room makes us all listen to Sister Qingli, we listen to Sister Qingli, so naturally we listen to Miss!" Hehe, besides, we maids don't have a fixed shape, and it's not that you, Miss, are used to it! ”

Yi'er was stunned by the blue buckwheat, and before she could speak, the grandmother on the door said back and forth that there were already guests.

Yi'er looked at the hour, just after the end of the day, thinking, who is this, she came so early, when she led Lan Qiao to hurry to the Hanging Flower Gate to welcome the guests, Yun Ying got off the carriage early, pounced like a gust of wind, hugged Yi'er, and shouted: "Sister Feiji, I'm early, tell me, am I the first to come?" ”

Yi'er pulled Yun Ying, looked left and right, didn't see Yun Da Lady Qu, and couldn't help asking, "Sister Yao'er, where is the eldest lady?" ”

Yun Ying said: "There are many things in my mother's family, how did I come so early?" She will have to wait for a while before she comes, Sister Kite, don't worry, Du Mansion will invite a banquet, and her mother will definitely arrive! ”

"You're coming alone?"

"How can that? Even if I thought, my mother wouldn't say yes! I came here with the fifth brother, he is going to the house of Master Xun today to accompany Mr. for the holiday, just by the way, I came with him, I visited Lord Du outside the door, just left, Sister Fei Kite, if you come out earlier, you can see the fifth brother! ”

Seeing that Yun Ying seemed to be a little regretful that Yi'er didn't see Yun Xuan, Yi'er didn't feel funny, nodded the tip of her small nose, and pulled her into the inner courtyard.

Yun Xuan naturally wanted to visit the Li family first, because the moon was still short, and the Du Mansion claimed that the Li family was ill, but did not specify the specific reason.

Gradually, the guests arrived at the door one after another, Yi'er didn't have time to accompany Yun Ying to play, even the Li family went out of the main room, and pulled the screen in the arranged Ji Hua Pavilion, Yi'er greeted the guests at the hanging flower door, and the ladies or elderly Mrs. Yi'er let people take them to the Ji Hua Pavilion, and the Li entertained them.

The backyard of the government is not big, and there are not many people invited by the Du Mansion, even the state government, but it is to invite the Zhu family, the Xie family, and the Xue family, and the Xue family, and the Beikai County Ya only invited the Zhang family of the county order, and there are some squires and celebrities like the Yun family.

There are not many people who post it, but there are many people who come to give gifts.

The prefect is hospitable, how can those who want to run away, get through relationships, and be good at drilling camps miss this good opportunity? It is the people who receive gifts on the concierge are very busy, but these people who do not post and rush to the door to give gifts are just gifts, and the concierge will not go in to report, let alone let people in, these people are basically after giving gifts and then go back to their respective homes and disperse.

It was nearly noon, and His Royal Highness King Tang arrived.

Tang King Yang Quan has been sitting in Beikai, Du Mansion invited a banquet, naturally he will not forget to send invitations to the Tang King Courtyard, but Du Ziwu took office this time, and there are many discords with Tang Wang in terms of political opinions, although he does not say-for-tat, but they know each other, where can others not see it? In just a short period of time, the official residence of the government office in Pakakaesong was almost divided into two factions. Although Du Ziwu sent an invitation to King Tang, he really didn't know if His Royal Highness King Tang would come, but now His Royal Highness King Tang is not only here, but it is not too late, and it is a little bit of Du Ziwu!

Du Ziwu led a group of servants to kneel down to greet him, and King Tang dismounted and hurriedly helped Du Ziwu up, saying, "I hope this king is not too late!" ”

Du Ziwu said: "Your Royal Highness is here, and the humble house should be full of brilliance." His Royal Highness's condescension is the glory of the Du Mansion, and if you can't ask for something, where will there be a difference between morning and evening? ”

Along with the Tang King, there was also Wei Ling, the general of the West Direct Battalion, and after Du Ziwu greeted him, he personally welcomed the two into the courtyard.

The news of King Tang's arrival was reported to Yi'er by Liuying, and Yi'er didn't think it was strange, although she also knew that King Tang should not deal with his father Du Ziwu in political affairs, but they were all colleagues in the same hall, and even if they had a little face, they would show a little affection!

However, after Liu Ying finished speaking, she added a sentence later: "His Royal Highness the King of Tang is going to the Northern Three Prefectures for disaster relief this time, I heard that he did not bring his family over, otherwise, I am afraid that Princess Tang will also come to our Du Mansion backyard as a guest, then we maids can see the real princess, the slave and maid are so big, I have never seen such a noble woman as the princess, and I don't know what Princess Tang looks like, it's a pity to think about it!" ”

When Liuying said this, Yi'er was in the refreshment room, and Lan Qiao was the only one with her, but Yi'er still frowned and didn't speak.

At noon, someone set up an incense case futon and other things in the largest welcome hall in the Hanging Flower Gate, and then the male guests were also invited into the welcome hall, and then some people started to talk about it.

There is a screen in the reception hall, and behind the screen are female dependents.

After Du Ziwu stood in the hall and told the cause and effect of the incident, the entire welcome hall suddenly exploded.

Almost all of them were full of surprise, especially the few families who had been walking around Du Mansion before. However, Yi'er once told Yun Yu about this, obviously Yun Yu didn't tell Qu about it, but Qu was also very surprised, and looked at Yi'er in disbelief.

After a short period of discussion and inquiry, everyone's congratulations sounded in the welcome hall, all of which congratulated Du Ziwu and his wife on their reunion.

Even Tang King Yang Quan also spoke: "Ten years ago, in fact, this king still has some impressions, before this king was still wondering, where did Lord Du come from such a young daughter, but it turned out to be like this, it is really impermanent, there is cause and effect!" Fortunately, the reunion of Lord Du's family, although it is ten years late, but it is a happy event, even if it is late, it is worth celebrating! ”

King Tang spoke, and everyone responded one after another.

Next, two big chairs were placed in the welcome hall, Du Ziwu and Li sat upright, Yi'er wore a hat and entered from the layman, knelt down in front of the two of them and bowed three times, and then Qingli stepped forward with a tray, Yi'er took tea from the tray and raised her hands above her head to serve her parents.

The whole confession meeting lasted for tea, and after Yi'er served tea, Du Ziwu and his wife sealed red envelopes as a meeting gift.

According to the customs of the time, the baby generally died or lost after the age of five, the name tablet can enter the family temple ancestral hall, when Du Feiyuan was just one year old was abducted by the flower child, not to mention the family temple ancestral hall, even the family tree did not record her name! Now that Yi'er has been found, the genealogy is naturally going to be on, but the ancestral hall of the Du family is in Beijing, and if you want to go to the family tree, you need to return to Beijing later, but Du Ziwu in order to show his attention to Yi'er, he actually created a family tree before, and now he invited the family tree, and Du Ziwu personally wrote it, and added Du Feiyuan's name.

This change surprised everyone who watched the ceremony.

You must know that the Du family of Qingxiang Marquis is a famous family in Beijing, and the hereditary first-class marquis mansion sealed by Emperor Gaozu himself. Du Ziwu was originally the eldest son of Du Jialu, the Marquis of Qingxiang in the previous generation, but after Du Jialu's death, the title of Marquis of Qingxiang fell on the head of Du Ziqi in the fourth room.

Du Ziwu is the old Qingxiang Marquis Du Jialu's wife Shen Shi, Shen died of dystocia when he gave birth to Du Ziwu, Du Jialu married the continuation of the Lin family, Lin family from the Jiangnan Lin family, the family is illustrious, after marrying, and has given birth to four sons Du Ziqi for Du Jialu, five sons Du Ziping, won Du Jialu's love.

Speaking of which, Du Ziwu was also brought up by the Lin family, but almost everyone believes that the children born by others are not the same as the children born by themselves, which is not the conclusion reached by any conspiracy theorists, this is human nature, and the later facts have proved this in turn, and the title of Marquis of Qingxiang finally fell on the head of Du Ziqi, who was born to the Lin family!

Many people believe that the relationship between Du Ziwu and the current Qingxiang Marquis Mansion is very delicate, after all, Mrs. Lin is still here, and it is not to be stiff, but in Du Ziwu's heart, he may no longer regard himself as a member of the Qingxiang Marquis Mansion. There is also their evidence to support this statement, Du Ziwu has been a foreign post for so many years, except for returning to Beijing to report on his work when his term of office expires, he basically does not return to the Qingxiang Marquis Mansion at ordinary times, this is the empirical evidence!
