In the study, Du Huo sat on the couch with a gloomy face, and Du Lan in front of him said indignantly: "...... Do you want such a merchant girl to be a powerful person in the house? Do you see what she looks like today? It's just that relying on the rich wealth of the Xiao family, they are so arrogant that they have no rules, and even A-Niang was burned by her! ”

The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and pushed away the tea soup served by the maidservant: "What is the identity of our Du family, if it weren't for the fact that my grandfather remembered a little old kindness with the Xiao family and decided on this marriage, how could he let such a person enter the door, it is also too deceitful to say that the second and third rooms are too deceitful, obviously they are all children of the Du family, but I want to arrange this matter to you." ”

Duho didn't say a word, just lowered his eyes, his thin lips pursed tightly.

"San Lang, you can't let her be like this, marrying her is just an expedient measure, is it possible that you will become an official in the court in the future, and you will let such a lowly woman be her wife?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Du Lan was very dissatisfied: "I'm afraid that it will drag down the lintel of the Du family." ”

Du Huo slowly raised his eyes to look at her: "What does Sister mean?" ”

A gleam flashed in Du Lan's eyes: "What she is relying on is just a dowry given by the Xiao family, without a dowry companion, she can only obey you in everything, where do you dare to be so presumptuous, it is better to ......"

Du Huo interrupted her words and frowned: "How can I make up my mind about the Xiao family's dowry, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it, Sister still don't want to talk to me about this." ”

He shook his head: "It's A-Niang's business to give a little bit of feed, and I won't ask about the affairs of the inner house." ”

Du Lan was very unhappy, he was wholeheartedly planning for the Du family, thinking about Du Huo, but he didn't appreciate it, but he was right, it was the matter of the mother's Pei family, she went to tell Pei's that Pei's would inevitably think of bringing Xiao's dowry.

She made up her mind, so she didn't stay here anymore, and after a few more words with him, she got up and hurried back to Chunhua Garden.

Watching Du Lan walk away, Du Huo sat on the couch for a moment before calling his attendant Changbai: "I'll go to the main room." ”

Changbai hurriedly called the maidservant to come in for him to change his clothes: "The eldest lady has returned to Chunhua Garden." ”

Du Huo's expression was cold: "Although Sister Ah is kind, but it is too much, these are the affairs of the Du family, she is a lady who marries outside, and she should not interfere more." ”

"Today, Mrs. sent someone to Jiang's house to deliver a message."

Seeing that the maid had changed into a half-new satin robe for herself and tied a wide belt, Du Huo said slowly: "But what she said is right, the Xiao family doesn't know the height of the sky, it's time to teach a lesson, this matter should be done by A-Niang, and the dignified gentleman can't get involved in the dispute in the inner courtyard." ”

Only then did Changbai understand Fang Cai Du Huo's intentions, and he was even more in awe, and he stepped forward to straighten the corners of his robe for him: "Today, Erlangjun went to the Surprise Pavilion again and lost more than a dozen dollars." ”

Du Huo finally smiled a little: "The second brother really has Yaxing, it seems that the Deng family brothers have put a lot of thought into it." ”

Changbai hurriedly said: "The Deng family Lang also sent a message the day before yesterday, and I want to invite Lang Jun to get together in the Huayue Building." ”

Du Huo looked at the robe on his body, neat and crisp, and then raised his legs and walked out with satisfaction: "Back to him, I will visit the master these days, and it will not be too late to meet again after a while, so that he does not have to come to invite him for the time being, so as not to hear anything about the second brother." ”

Changbai hurriedly agreed to retreat.

Turning the corridor, I was about to enter the Half Moon Gate, but I heard someone talking in a low voice on the corridor on the side, and I couldn't see who it was for a while, I could only hear their voices.

“…… Why bother to come, the day is big, your body is weak, even Mrs. is reluctant to let you come out, why are you still here? The maidservant persuaded in a low voice, "What's more, in Chunhua Garden today, this lady of the Xiao family didn't give you a good face, but I'm afraid that I can only be angry when I come now." ”

Another voice was soft and tactful: "Anyway, she is the wife of the third cousin, I am afraid that she will annoy me today, I should also come over to give her a gift, I can't embarrass my aunt and the third cousin, as long as she is no longer angry, it doesn't hurt for me to be a little wronged." ”

The maidservant sighed again and again: "Why should the lady wronged herself like this, Mrs. and San Langjun are no better for the lady, but such a lady from a merchant marries in and is still so domineering......"

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the voice: "Don't say that, my aunt and my third cousin have no choice but to do so, this marriage was decided by the elders...... Even I rejoiced for my third cousin. ”

At last her voice became lower and lower, with a little choked voice, and the master and servant came from behind the flowers, and were startled for a moment when they met Du Ho, who had stopped here to listen to them.

It was Pei Yuan, the second lady of Pei, who came with the maidservant Jinsi, and when she saw Du Huo, her face was surprised and happy, her pink cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head: "Third cousin, I'm here to see my third cousin." ”

Seeing her gentle and shy appearance, Du Huo's originally cold face had a slight smile: "Ah Yuan, you don't have to wronged yourself like this. ”

He heard it all, and he sighed even more in his heart, compared to the Xiao family, who was useless except for marriage, Ah Yuan was really considerate and submissive, and would rather grieve himself and come to apologize to the Xiao family, or for his own sake.

Pei Yuan's eyes were bright, and he said in a low voice: "For the sake of my third cousin, I don't feel wronged, I just hope that my cousin-in-law can make you embarrassed without doing anything for me." ”

She lowered her head slightly, her slender neck was snow-white and slender, like a lotus flower bent by dewdrops, Du Huo was also moved, but after all, she couldn't help it, nodded and said, "You better go back first, I still have something to say to her, you can come back another day." ”

That's it?

Pei Yuan seemed to be stunned, and it took a while before he came back to his senses and pulled out a smile: "Then, then I'll go back first, so as not to disturb the third cousin." ”

Du Huo nodded, and ordered Jin Si Haosheng to wait for Pei Erniang to go back, and then he turned around and walked to the main room.

When he walked out of Qiushi Garden with the handmaid's hand deep, shallow and shallow, Pei Yuan's eyes suddenly turned red, he bit his lip and didn't say a word, and the cool fan in his hand was almost clutched.

Seeing her like this, Jin Si hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, lady, today San Langjun must have something to say to the lady of the Xiao family, and he will ...... if he can't take care of it for a while."

Pei Yuan walked a few steps, and a little wry smile appeared on his sad face: "I know, it's because the Pei family is out of trouble, my aunt took me to the house, and I didn't even say a word, and now even the third cousin is ......."

"It's just that I'm unwilling, even a merchant girl is married, how can I not, the third cousin treats me really well, where else can I go except the Du family!"
