Not to mention that in the vertical arch hall, Zhao Rui had all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and Du Tan in the other compartment got off the palace, and only returned home and didn't sit down for a while, when he was stopped by an old servant in his grandmother's room.

"Official, the old lady has something to look for you."

He nodded, put aside the matter at hand, and immediately went to the wing where Mrs. Du lived.

The other man was sitting by the window, sewing the sleeves of a dress in the sunlight.

Du Tan stepped forward and said, "Grandmother, the girl who has her own needle and thread under her head, why is it your turn to do this?" ”

Mrs. Du pinned the needle into the half-sewn sleeve, and when she raised her hand, she wiped a handful of tears and said with a forced smile: "San Lang is back." ”

Du Tan originally had two elder brothers, none of whom were supported, so he was originally called San Lang in the family.

He was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" But what's wrong with you? ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and called the one who bowed down to serve.

Mrs. Du hurriedly stopped: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's because I'm old, and I will inevitably think about it." As he spoke, he raised the clothes in his hand and said, "Do you still recognize what this is?" ”

Du Tanzhi looked at it, and the shirt was made of coarse cloth, which had been worn to the point that the corners were worn out, and it looked very familiar.

Seeing that he didn't react for a long time, Mrs. Du couldn't help but sigh: "You are an official now, how many things you have to think about day and night, and there are things that you don't remember in the past...... This is the clothes that your second uncle made when he went to work as a bookkeeper in the past. ”

Speaking of this, her eyes turned red again, and she said: "At that time, the family was very poor, and the fabrics made by other people's families were better than the ones that our family could afford...... Then you got so badly dressed that I put it back in and he put it on himself. ”

She touched the shirt with her hand, and as she spoke, she couldn't help it anymore, covered her face and cried, "Your second uncle...... It's also unlucky...... Wait a few more years, and when you have a chance, how many benefits are waiting for him to enjoy...... It's ...... Call me an old immortal messing around here, and I'm a burden ......"

Du Tanzhi couldn't hear this, and was really sad in his heart, so he hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "Grandmother, what are these words, how can you say that they are burdensome...... If it weren't for you, my grandson wouldn't know if he would survive now, and how could he have today! ”

Mrs. Du wiped her tears and said: "Where is it not burdened, I can't help take care of the family, forget it, I am sick all day long, and I want your daughter-in-law to take care of it, she is pregnant, I can't help, a good fetus, sit until it is formed, or it is gone......"

Du Tanzhi was even more sad, but said: "Mu He and I are both young, it is really easy to conceive again in the future, this is also the will of God, how can I blame you for coming up?" Besides, it's not that there are no subordinates in the family, so why do you need to take care of it yourself? ”

I comforted her for a long time with a good voice, and when I saw that Mrs. Du slowly eased up, she didn't call anyone, and went to hold a copper basin filled with water in person, and twisted a handkerchief to let her wipe her face.

Mrs. Du wiped her face with a handkerchief, blew her nose again, and then said, "I called you over today, in fact, there is something I want to discuss with you." ”

He pointed to the chair next to him and asked his grandson to sit down.

"I told your daughter-in-law a while ago, and I specially asked her not to tell you, and now our ancestors and grandchildren are also angry, lest she beat the side drum and ask one day, you don't know."

Mrs. Du said: "I told your daughter-in-law that day, your second uncle left early, and now you have a head and a face, and you are no longer like before, while I am still here, I can be the master, so I will let you take care of his room, marry you another family, and ask your daughter-in-law's opinion." ”

Du Tanzhi's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he said: "Grandmother, Mu He just sat in Xiaoyuezi, and it was uncomfortable in his heart, how could he talk to her about this at this time!" He added, "This matter must not be done, not to mention that I don't want to, and what will my father-in-law think about it, if outsiders know about it, how will they look at me?" ”

When Mrs. Du saw him like this, she frowned and said, "Don't say it to her at this time, when will you talk about it?" The two of you have been married for more than a year, and now you don't have a child, and you are in your thirties. ”

Du Tanzhi was very helpless, and replied: "It's not a child, Mu He only passed the door last year, and it didn't take long for her to get pregnant, but this time she didn't sit firmly and it will be gone, and when she will raise it, ask for another one, where is it not very easy?" ”

Mrs. Du snorted: "You are also an official, different from ordinary people, I heard someone say that a woman like your daughter-in-law, when she was pregnant, many of them took the initiative to arrange room for their husbands, you two had a good relationship in the past, she didn't want to, I don't blame her, only now the child is gone, let alone will be raised for a year and a half, so it is good to have it again." ”

He also said: "This first child can't sit steadily, it's hard to say whether the second child will be good, for the sake of the heir, even if there is no contemporary, you should have a child first, your daughter-in-law is from a family, and she will not be as cautious as the country woman." ”

On the one hand, he didn't want to hurt her heart, on the other hand, he also knew that the other party was indeed for his own good, but the method was a little wrong, so he had to say: "At most, it's half a year's thing, what's not to wait?" You also know that my father-in-law is now a gentleman for the prince, and there will be no emperor in the future, I am a poor man, and I said a thousand good things before I got married that day, and I have only been married for a year, and I am also a concubine, and I want to accept the small, and I will be known, and I will say 'bad conduct' in front of the Son of Heaven, how can there be good fruit to eat in the future, grandmother and don't mention this again! ”

Mrs. Du frowned and said: "It wasn't that we begged to marry that day, it was your husband who took a fancy to you, I don't believe it, how many ministers have concubines and concubines, three rooms and two rooms, and the people next to them don't say that they are 'misbehaving', but want to say that you are 'misconduct'?" ”

He said: "San Lang, you listen to me, you haven't gone through anything, you don't know how difficult things are, I'm also a person who is half cut into the ground, I haven't seen anything, not to mention whether the little baby can be born, even if it is born, it may not be able to feed, you used to have six uncles, and finally became a human, plus your father, there are only two left, your mother gave birth to three of your brothers, and only you survived, the children in the world, where is it so easy to raise, who is not able to ask for more, your daughter-in-law has not spoken, you yourself jumped out and said no, How can there be such a stupidity. ”
