Chapter Ninety-Two: The Long Overdue Du Family
Several inconspicuous carriages entered Chang'an City from Mingdemen, crowded by the bustling crowd and could only walk slowly, the driver of the car obviously had never seen such a lively scene, and repeatedly waved the whip to drive the horses for fear of hitting the pedestrians who came and went side by side.
A curtain was lifted in the carriage, and the young woman poked her head out, looking at the pedestrians and shops in the market in surprise, her eyes were full of excitement, but she was interrupted by another cool voice in the carriage behind her: "Cousin, Chang'an is not as good as Jiangning Mansion, and the noble family doesn't know much, we should set up rules when we come to Chang'an, but we can't teach people to think that we are the kind of people who have no rules and no knowledge, and look at the jokes!" ”
Mu Lian, who was looking at the joy, was like a basin of cold water poured on her head, looking back at Du Huo who was sitting in the carriage, only to see him looking at himself coldly, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and sat back, snorting: "I saw that Chang'an was prosperous and lively, and I didn't see such a lively ...... in Jiangning Mansion before."
But no one cared about her explanation, Pei Yuan, who was sitting proudly with his head held high on the other side, happened to be talking to Du Huo with a smile: "Speaking of which, I haven't been back to Chang'an for many years, I remember that Pei's mansion was in Anxingfang, where it was the prince's mansion, and the rules were strict. ”
She just smiled and spoke to Du Huo, ignoring Mu Lian who was glaring at her over there.
Du Huo frowned and nodded: "Chang'an is no better than Jiangning, and you can't mess with the rules in the future." ”
Mu Lian hung her head, but she was indignant in her heart, she was already like this, she was still holding on to the face of the Jiangning Du family, and she didn't look at this old and young family who came to Chang'an like fleeing from the famine, and they didn't have food and clothing yet, but they pretended to be here.
Du Mansion is still divided, the second and third rooms each asked for a shop, a Zhuangzi plus 5,000 yuan to divide out, the long house only got the mansion, and in order to fill the second room, the third room money and silver also discounted the mansion, the family can only follow Du Huo to Chang'an, planning to make plans in Chang'an next house.
However, the public account has long been empty, so Du Kui pulled his face and forced Pei to take out her own dowry to fill the shortfall, Pei was so sick that he still held his breath and quarreled with Du Kui, if it wasn't for Du Kui to take her back to Pei's house, she would probably not agree to die.
Finally, after Pei's distressed took his own money, he was able to complete the matter of dividing the Du Mansion and compensating the Zhou family for the ceremony, and the family squeezed these carriages and came to Chang'an with servants and belongings.
I never thought that I met the second room on the road, and He rented a boat, which was also to go to Chang'an with Du Yi and Du Yu's family, and saw it from a distance at Shanyang Wharf, but He told the boatman to go quickly, and he was unwilling to say hello to the people in the long house, which made Du Kui angry and lost his temper, and shouted that he wanted to call Du Yi back for a good lesson.
However, they rented a boat, but they were reluctant to pay for money, so they could only take a carriage, and they couldn't catch up, so they could only hold their breath and bump for many days to get to Chang'an.
The carriage and horses were tired, Pei was still sick, and had already instructed Lin's mother to arrange for someone to ride a horse to Chang'an to buy a house earlier, but she only gave five hundred yuan, and if she wanted more, she closed her eyes and couldn't hear it, and let Du Kui blow her beard and stare at her eyes, but she couldn't see it.
"Auntie, why don't I go back to Jiangning, I haven't heard a letter from Dalang after I have been gone for a while, and I also taught people to send back all the boxes and cages for the marriage! I'm afraid he's hardened, if he goes back this time, he can't say ......" Duran sat next to Pei Shi and muttered in a low voice.
Pei Shi puffed his head, leaned on the soft pillow and looked at her, and sneered: "You also know that he sent you back with a marriage, the Jiang family has already written a letter to release his wife, even if you go back to Jiangning, you won't be able to enter the door of the Jiang family!" ”
Seeing that Du Lan's eyes were red and her face was pale, she laughed twice: "Now that you have returned, you have to spend money on food, let people count all the dowries and put them in the public account, you can't let your grandpa and San Lang raise you for nothing!" ”
Du Lan shrank and stared at Pei's family: "Ah Niang, that dowry is my reliance for the rest of my life, and there is also a share from my grandfather and grandmother, as well as a share of the princess, how can I ......?"
Pei Shi didn't wait to finish listening, so he gritted his teeth: "I have raised you for so many years, and I have hurt you for so many years, and you have watched me being forced like this by your grandfather, and even my own marriage has to be taken out to raise you white-eyed wolves?" Aren't you filial? Where is filial piety? ”
She hammered the carriage again and again, so frightened that Bai Zhi and the others hid out, and Aunt Dai's carriage in front also heard the movement, Aunt Dai was talking with Du Kui, and when she heard the sound, she opened the curtain and looked forward, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the lady is teaching the lady a lesson again, and this road has never stopped." ”
Du Kui drooped his face: "I'm afraid she's crazy, Lan Niang has been driven back by her tiredness, what else does she want!" ”
When he thought of the affairs of Jiangning Mansion, he gritted his teeth in anger, he couldn't be the good lord of Dufu Mansion, and he was forced to come to Chang'an in such a down-and-out way, which was a good thing done by the Pei family.
Aunt Dai knew that he was very annoyed, so she hurriedly poured a cup of tea and served it: "Lord Lang is quick to dissipate her anger, and Mrs. is also unintentional, she has no merit and hard work in charge of the house for all these years, and she has raised the eldest lady and San Langjun, even if she goes to Chang'an, she has to rely on her housekeeper!" ”
It's good that she didn't mention this, but Du Kui's anger was even stronger when she mentioned it, and she said gloomily: "At the beginning, the uncles said that they would send her to Zhuangzi, and when they settled here, I would let people send her there, and I couldn't let her stay in the mansion no matter what." ”
Aunt Dai hesitated: "But there can't be no one to take care of the house, so it's better to let the eldest lady ......."
"What can she do with a big lady, if she really has that ability, how can she be driven back by the Jiang family!" Du Kui was even more dissatisfied.
Aunt Dai sighed: "This is also the reason why there is no lady who lets He Li come back." ”
Hearing her say, Du Kui looked up at her, frowned and stretched: "It's been a few years since you entered the door, and following me is considered a good rule, and your yard is well controlled, so you are a suitable person." ”
Aunt Dai was taken aback: "How does this make the concubine just an aunt, how can she be in charge, if the lady knows, I'm afraid she will ......"
Du Kui seemed to have made up his mind, and waved his hand: "I said that if I deserve it, I deserve it, and it is not her turn to be the master of this family!" ”
The carriage stopped in front of the small house in Yongyangfang, and Du Kui got out of the carriage with his family, looking up at the dilapidated and narrow mansion, his brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, and his face was full of resentment.
The dignified Jiangning Du family's long house was actually reduced to living in such a house!
Mother Lin on the side whispered: "Five hundred houses are really not suitable for Chang'an, and the price of this house is quite cheap, so I decided here." ”
Even in Jiangning Mansion, five hundred yuan is not enough to buy a big mansion, not to mention in Chang'an City, this mansion was still found by mistake, and it was finally a place for this big family to stay.
It's useless to be dissatisfied, and there is no other place to find here for a while, so Du Kui can only take the big and small into the mansion.
Du Huo stopped in front of the door of the mansion, and for some reason, he always felt that this mansion seemed to be a little familiar, and there were some inexplicable weirdness, which made him feel a little uneasy.
