() Du Mei returned to the dock, it was late at night, Du Ying cooked salted duck and snacks, but she didn't dare to sleep, she had been waiting anxiously, Du Mei saw this, in order not to worry her, only told her that it was a temporary banquet in the Shu Palace, the county lord was hospitable, kept talking, and came back late, Du Ying saw her look as usual, and believed her words, and did not take this matter to heart.

After two consecutive days, there was no abnormal movement, Du Mei slowly put her mind at ease, she guessed what Chu Lin probably said, and broke Chu's thoughts.

Du Mei has re-invested in the operation of the restaurant, the research and development of new dishes, day by day busy without touching the ground, the business is in full swing, diners have reached the point where they want to eat a meal of Mei Kee Restaurant, they have to book in advance, otherwise when it comes to the meal, the crowd is surging, and they can't wait at all.

As for the wedding banquet, full moon wine, birthday banquet, etc., you have to look at the days of Mei Ji, because there are too many people who book, and it is no longer the day you want to have which, even so, there are still more people flocking to it, and the business of the restaurant is full of orders every day.

At the end of the day, it was past the meal, the guests were gone, Du Mei and the cook in the restaurant had to eat around, but they saw the patriarch Du Huaibing and her uncle coming in a hurry.

"What's going on in the village?" Du Mei hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and greeted them, Lin Dai saw this, and hurriedly turned around to pour tea.

From Dujiagou to Jiangling City, it takes most of the day to walk by carriage, and at this time the fields are busy planting seedlings.

"There's news about that evil barrier in Du!" Daikin sat down on a chair next to him and slapped his thigh.

"Who said that?" Du Mei chuckled in her heart, as if she had a sense of foreboding.

"The two brothers, Du Zhu and Du Zhu, also heard the news somewhere, saying that Du Zhu was wronged and locked up in the prison of Ningzhou Mansion." Du Huaibing took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"Since the day of the beating, your aunt is worried every day, this son got this news, no matter whether it is true or not, it is noisy all day long, I have no choice, I have to beg the patriarch to come together." Daikin held the cup and said with a bitter face.

Du Mei only knew that Du Xuan was bullying and dominating the market in the South Street vegetable market, but he was arrested now, thinking that it was Murong Xi who said that he had his own way.

"Du Shu was not wronged, I saw with my own eyes that he forcibly collected taxes, overcharged taxes, and bullied vendors in the South Street vegetable market!" Du Mei couldn't help but tell the truth.

"That's the thing!" Hearing this, Dajin and Du Huaibing were stunned for a moment, they glanced at each other, they originally had some hope, but at this moment they were ruthlessly punctured by Du Mei.

"Meizi, I'm here, whether it's right or wrong, he's always my son, please ask for a favor for me for the sake of blood and family, let me meet him, go back and talk to your grandma and your aunt, so I can have an explanation." Daikin pleaded with a bitter face.

"This ......" Du Mei turned his eyes to look at Du Huaibing.

"Hey, in the final analysis, Du Xuan is always our Du Jiagou person, and he is the eldest grandson of your family, your grandfather is not here, if you have a breath, you will also climb here, I originally wanted to take your uncle by myself, but Shen County Ling is now Shen Zhizhou, I am afraid that my face is not enough, so I want to drag you along." Du Huaibing rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment.

"It's just that the father and son meet, I think Shen Zhizhou can still be accommodating, it shouldn't be a difficult thing, you take a break."

Later, I'll tell them, let's go. "Du Mei didn't eat anymore, and simply arranged for the evening.

Du Mei was not there that day, Lin Dai took care of himself and went back to the restaurant, because he had to deal with Zhang Min's child's 100-day banquet, he could only be forced to speak and socialize, and now he has really stepped through the first hurdle, and the progress is very fast.

Lin Zheng took the carriage and sent the three of them to the Zhizhou Mansion, and Dajin carried a big burden, all of which were food and clothing prepared by the Zhou family, as well as some silver money for some money.

"My mother and my master are all right." Du Mei hasn't been back for some days, and when he meets people from his hometown, he always asks.

"They are well, the women of the village are grateful for your kindness, and they are willing to sell any surplus summer grain to your family's grain store." Du Huaibing nodded.

"How's the summer grain harvest going this year?" Speaking of which, Du Mei inevitably asked more.

"This season is good for the wind and rain, the wheat and rape harvested well by the big guys in the village, and most of the people who have credited your rice have used ducks to settle their accounts, and Du Zhong asked me to be a witness, so I know about it." Speaking of this year's harvest, a little smile appeared on Du Huaibing's face.

"That's good, everyone's life in the second half of the year can be lighter." Du Mei smiled.

"Qinghe County has a new county magistrate, or our own family, he came to our village yesterday to take a look, and specially asked me to accompany you to your house, to see your mother, the village people are flocking to see the excitement, and there is honor." Da Du Huaibing said with relief.

"Really?" The corners of Du Mei's mouth rose, and her mother was afraid that she would scatter the snacks at home to others.

"Your mother has a good heart and is blessed, and everyone in the village is rushing to get rid of it." Du Huaibing smiled, the corners of his eyes full of wrinkles.

The two of them talked, Dajin didn't say a word, Zhou's jealousy of Du Mei, hatred of Xu's, basically on his face, he was caught in the middle of a dilemma, the two families broke off for a long time, if it wasn't for Du Xuan being fettered, how could Zhou tolerate Dajin coming to Du Mei!

Although it is early summer, the afternoon sun is already very strong, and there are few people walking on the road, so the carriage went smoothly, and soon arrived at the Zhizhou Mansion, Shen Zhanghua was reading a book in the back hall, and heard that the official said that Du Mei was coming, so he hurriedly re-curled his hair and changed his clothes to come out to greet him.

"Patriarch Du, you are here too." Shen Zhanghua was a little surprised, but when he saw Dajin, he understood.

"Master Shen, my rebel son has caused you trouble!" Dajin was about to kneel, but Shen Zhanghua grabbed him.

"Uncle Du doesn't have to be like this, it's him who is wrong, not you, you are here today, just to persuade him, don't be obsessed and destroy your future." Shen Zhanghua let the three of them into the living room, and a servant had already brought tea.

"Can I go see him, then?" As soon as Daikin heard this, he couldn't sit still.

"That's nature." Shen Zhanghua gave an order, and a servant took Dajin and Du Huaibing away.

"Meizi, the cell is full of pickled ground, don't go to a girl's house of yours, besides, you can't bump your luck, you just wait here and talk to Shen Zhizhou." When Du Huaibing was leaving, he whispered to Du Mei that she was in business, and her fortune was very important, if she was entangled by the evil spirit, she would be unlucky, and he Du Huaibing could not do this kind of thing that outweighed the losses.

"Hmm." Du Mei didn't want to see Du Xuan, but when he said this, he nodded in agreement.

"Let's go see the plum I brought." There were only two of them in the house, and Shen Zhanghua was happy in his heart for a while

I didn't know what to say, but I blurted out such a sentence.

"Okay." Du Mei said with a smile.

Just as Shen Zhanghua was secretly annoyed that he could say such a sentence, when he saw Du Mei's bright smile, he felt that the room suddenly brightened a little, and his heart also brightened.

The two of them went out of the house and walked to the back hall, there was a lush loquat tree in the courtyard, the canopy was like an umbrella, and the corner of the wall saw a newly planted plum, which was exactly the same as the location of the plum planted in Qinghe County.

"It's growing so well, and it's going to bloom this winter." Du Mei stretched out her hand to touch the shiny leaves of the plum, perhaps Shen Zhanghua took good care of it, and the plum that was transplanted in the spring was not only alive, but even the branches were thicker.

"When the flowers bloom in the wax moon, I invite you to come and see!" Shen Zhanghua stood beside Du Mei and sincerely invited.

"Okay, when you have time in winter, I'll set up a charcoal stove here for you, invite Ye Dan, and learn from other people's green ant new brewing wine, red clay small stove, but we don't drink alcohol, replace wine with tea, wouldn't it be wonderful to drink tea and enjoy flowers?" Du Mei tilted his head and smiled, and the early summer afternoon sun passed through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the loquat tree, scattering on Du Mei's face, and he smiled like a flower.

"When you say that, I wish it would be snowing tomorrow." Shen Zhanghua also smiled, full of joy, as if that day was just around the corner.

This girl's smile is bright and sincere, staying with her makes people feel like a spring breeze, and they can't help but want to be closer to each other, and how many troubles in the world can be thrown away.

The two talked for a while, nothing more than the business of the restaurant and the recent situation of their friends, Du Mei didn't ask about Du Xuan, and Shen Zhanghua didn't take the initiative to talk about it, he knew that they were not on good terms, but Du Mei was not a childish person, otherwise he wouldn't have brought Dajin here, but he didn't want to take the initiative to mention it, and he didn't want to block her.

About half an hour later, Du Huaibing and Dajin turned around, Dajin's eyes were red, as if he had cried, he was an elder, in front of the juniors, it was inevitable that he would be a little embarrassed, so when Du Mei saw it, he only pretended not to see it, and did not ask anything.

Back in the living room, the tea was already cold, Shen Zhanghua asked the official to change the tea again, the four of them sat down, Du Huaibing and Dajin naturally thanked Shen Zhanghua for their kindness, and asked him about the reason for the matter, sure enough, as Du Mei said, he was caught doing evil in the South Street vegetable market.

Shen Zhanghua asked them rhetorically if they had enlightened Du Xuan to tell the person behind the scenes, Du Huaibing and Dajin both shook their heads, and only said that Du Zhuo bit him to death.

"Incorrigible, incorrigible!" Shen Zhanghua slapped the table angrily.

Du Xuan's death is not to say, he has no good way, he can't be tortured every day, and then he will be beaten into a trick and framed.

Du Huaibing rarely saw Shen Zhanghua angry, and when he saw him like this at this time, he felt that his old face was dull, and he was panicked, and he was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Dajin didn't dare to plead, like a winter bird, cowering and not daring to squeak.

Seeing this, Du Mei had nothing to say, so she proposed to go back, and the three of them returned to the restaurant, just in time for the evening guests, she was busy entertaining, Du Huaibing and Da Jinwo made do with the night in the back hall, and left early the next morning to go back.

Du Mei thought that she was benevolent and righteous, and she helped everything she could, thinking that this matter was over, but she didn't expect that Zhou was unreasonable, and seeing that she couldn't save her own son, she was indignant every day, and she was angry with Du Mei, conspired with outsiders, and did a shocking thing in a frenzy, which almost changed her life!
