Chapter 363: The Clan Meeting
Jingfu asked Mama to go back to the house to arrange it first, and sent someone to notify the Du family, telling the second and third uncles that when the time comes, they will write posts for the daughters of each family who have not left the pavilion and come to the palace to play.
The Du family was very happy to get the news, and they had already begun to buy new materials to prepare for clothes.
Du Zhao is also back, with his new wife, and he is going to hold a low-key wedding in the spring after the New Year, and this time Du Zhao did a good job in the northwest and was transferred back, but not in the capital, but on the side of Baihe.
Du Zhao sent someone to summon Jingfu, wanting her to go back, and there were some things to discuss.
Jingfu didn't want to refuse, but the person who came was the butler of the patriarch's grandfather.
The housekeeper stepped forward and said, "The old lady asked you to consider going back and showing up, and if he doesn't like something, he will definitely not agree, so he will block it for you."
But when your father comes back, you still have to go back to meet him, and you can't touch the crockpot with porcelain, it's not worth it. Then there is the matter of the clan I want to tell you, next year a few children will enter the examination room, very hopeful, the family specially said that I want to thank you in person. ”
When Jingfu heard this, she knew that it was the patriarch's grandfather who was euphemistically persuading her not to be willful, to maintain the reputation of her father and daughter, she could have no feelings but not touch hard, and it was only the younger generations who suffered.
At the same time, the Du family has not gone back for a few days, and they have to go back to contact the clansmen to have their feelings, which is also what grandpa meant.
"Cheng, grandpa said so, I'll go back tomorrow."
"Hey, don't worry, the old lady is here, he doesn't dare to make excessive requests."
The housekeeper is also old, and he nodded happily when he heard Jingfu's softness, this kid can listen to persuasion, but he is unlucky to have such a father.
"Cheng, I'm tired of you at such an age, you still have to go on a trip in the ice and snow, I heard that your grandson is also enrolled in school, but is it famous?"
Jingfu is very grateful to the patriarch grandfather, and she can smile a little more at his people.
"Thank you, you're already a showman."
"Oops! Great, but there is a promising child, Mama, you can give a copy of the notes left by my third brother to the housekeeper and take it back to copy by hand. ”
Turning his head, he said, "This is my third brother's note, you can take it back and let the child copy it by hand, it may be helpful to him." ”
"Thank you so much, I'll let the child copy it and send it back to you, such a thing is precious, maybe someone else can use it."
The old butler bowed again and again and thanked him.
"No thanks, we're all our own people. I'll go back tomorrow and let grandpa rest assured. “
"Done."
The old butler took his things and went back to his life.
Jingfu glanced at Mama Li, "Looks like we have to go back." ”
"Let's go back and take a look, you owe favors everywhere with your money and efforts over the years, why do you let Du Zhao pick up the cheap, I know that that little cub is also a talent."
Mama Li whispered beside her.
Jing Fu pursed her lips for a while before speaking, "I know, the children of the Du family are all smart, but it's a pity that they don't take the right path." ”
"Who says it's not, at this time, you should firmly grasp the Du family in the palm of your hand, cultivate a few more capable children, don't ask them for any help, but a few more talents, you can do some results in the court, this is your waist pole."
"I get it, don't worry."
"Well, I'll go back with you tomorrow?"
Mama Li asked.
"No, you go back to the palace to help me watch the preparations for the banquet, let Mama Wang accompany me, you go back with Mama Wang, I have thought about it carefully, at this juncture, I should hold a banquet, which is also the meaning of showing my face to Brother Hao and contacting a few more contacts."
"Okay."
The next day, Jingfu dressed up and was surrounded by Lilac and Qingdai and got into the car and returned to Du's house.
Everyone held a clan meeting in the hall next to the ancestral hall of the main courtyard, and gathered together to talk and laugh, preparing to eat together at noon.
"Fu'er is back, come and sit down, get a hand warmer, don't freeze."
The patriarch saw Jingfu being surrounded by people and greeted him with a smile.
"Say hello to grandpa, hello to grandpa and uncles, Fu'er is late, there was a little snow last night, and the carriage ran slower."
"It doesn't matter, it's snowing this year, so it's supposed to be a good year."
Everyone was smiling happily.
It started to snow in the middle of the night last night, and it has been falling until now, but the snow is not heavy, and it is very clean when you look at the white patch.
"Fu'er, did I hear that the emperor gave the prince a ship guide? Can we help? If you want me to say that the Lin family is a military general, I can also help in this, and your mother has also entered the door, so I can also help you. ”
Du Zhao smiled and spoke, looking confident.
Jingfu picked up the hot tea and sipped it slowly, without saying a word, just looking at her father with a smile on her face.
A clan elder suddenly laughed, "Don't mention any mother-in-law, you are a stepfamily, and the children are all married as adults, where did you get the face to be Fu'er's mother." Can you tell whose grade is higher?
Don't you just want to give the Lin family some benefits, and help, her father is just a leader, only a fourth-grade official, where can the connections help.
I also came to harass Fu'er several times, my face is really big, and the Du family's face has been ruined by you. The Du family was the first not to agree to this, don't daydream. ”
Du Zhao's face suddenly turned red, "I have come to the door several times, when it happened, why don't I know." ”
The eyes dodged and he was obviously a little weak-hearted.
"So my father doesn't know? The prince is still very angry and wants to trouble the Lin family, what do you think should be done about this, Mrs. Du still wants to threaten me with Yifan's life, do you think I should take care of my brother's life, or it is better to push two five or six to make you lose your household. ”
Jingfu squinted and smiled very happily, but the words she spit out were very cold and ruthless.
Du Zhao's face changed, "Maybe it's a misunderstanding." ”
"It's not a misunderstanding, but I brought a letter here, my father must give me an explanation today, I only have one mother, where does anyone dare to claim to be my mother? Did you kowtow to my mother when you entered the door? If you don't kowtow, don't blame me for being polite. ”
Jingfu's attitude was very arrogant and domineering, and she didn't save face for Du Zhao at all.
Du Zhao's face turned red, but he couldn't say a word, and his status had already reversed.
"You must kowtow when you enter the door, don't worry, our old guy is not dead yet, there must be rules." It is necessary to open the ancestral hall and kowtow during the New Year's holidays, and the reputation of the Du family is not allowed to be damaged by anyone, otherwise they will be expelled from the clan. ”
The patriarch's grandfather said categorically, I'll kill you again, you go to the palace of Hades and kowtow to your father.
"Yes, uncle, don't worry."
"If you are not allowed to claim to be my mother outside, if you annoy me, I will want her whole family's life, and you must be self-aware."
Jingfu snorted coldly, her face was full of disdain and disdain, this father simply made her look down on her.
Du Zhao was silent, his face was as black as charcoal, and he didn't say a word, and the two brothers Du Peng and Du Heng closed their eyes slightly, and refused to help him.
After Du Heng came back, he asked Du Peng and his subordinates, only to know how excessive Du Zhao had done, and the brothers had become much more indifferent, and they had not even eaten a meal together, and they were reluctant to get too close to him.
Although he has been released for many years, Du Heng has a letter to his family every month, and he must tell Jingfu to study and make progress, and exchange letters with each other, so it can be said that Jingfu is carefully upbringing as if she were his own daughter.
Du Zhao did this, undoubtedly giving Du Heng a few mouths, and also cooled his brother's heart.
