Sure enough, Du Zhao didn't come to the family banquet in the evening, and he shirked that Yichen needed to be taken care of, so he didn't come, and everyone was not reluctant.

"If the eldest brother doesn't come, we can also get together and taste Fu'er's medicinal wine."

Du Peng poured wine with a smile.

"Okay, big brother has always been like this?"

Du Heng couldn't help but ask.

"It's so strange that he's been awkward since he came back, as if everyone else should follow him, and it's better to beat Fu'er to death and everything will be fine.

My son is like that, it's not good to be a baby, I have to say that we don't like mercy and Yichen, they are not settled, I have to protect them, I think he is just making excuses for his behavior, but he is unwilling to admit that he is wrong. ”

Du Peng snorted, also very dissatisfied.

"Hey! How could the eldest brother become like this, Yichen, this kid is ruined. ”

Du Heng also sighed.

"Dad, why are you worrying about this, Yichen has always been like this, our brothers are not close to him, they can't get close, and no one in the clan cares about him. Once it was said everywhere that Fu'er was bad, and the patriarch beat her up to be much more honest. ”

Du Chen pursed his lips contemptuously, he didn't look down on Yichen, a brother, he was too ruthless and didn't follow the right path.

"Forget it, it's rare to be happy today, Brother Chen, you're going to go out, you have to work hard when you go out, you can't miss this opportunity, without your sister's hard work to support you, you can't have today." Cherish every opportunity today, it is not easy to come by. ”

Du Heng admonished his son not to be arrogant.

"Yes, Dad, don't worry, I know that I have today's scenery and future, which my sister has worked hard for me, I know it in my heart, I will do it well."

Du Chen nodded seriously, with a solemn expression.

"Brother Nan and Brother Jun also have to work hard, as long as they have a good ranking, there is no shortage of your future, you know what kind of person your sister is, don't be jealous, the future is out of your own after all."

Du Heng didn't forget his two nephews.

"Yes, the third uncle's is, we are not jealous of the third brother, the master of the clan is also from Jinshi, and my sister also found us the notes of the master of the Qi family, I haven't forgotten our brother, we can't be jealous, we will work hard."

Brother Nan glanced at his younger brother, smiled at each other, and stood up generously to speak.

Du Heng smiled and pressed his hand on them to sit down.

"You must not beat your sister when you go out in the future, let me and your father know, and break your legs."

Du Heng snorted angrily.

"Yes."

"Well, let's eat, it's a good day, the family is happy to have a meal, and I will allow you to drink two glasses of monkey wine."

Du Peng also smiled and spoke.

Du Heng came back for the New Year a few days ago, the house was cleaned up, Jingfu stayed in Du's house for the New Year, she couldn't run around anymore, she was going to get married in the spring, and it was not appropriate to run back to her grandfather's house again, it would make people talk.

During the New Year's Festival, people sent some gifts to the Yang family, with their own needlework, and some good materials and two sets of imperial jewelry for their aunts and sisters Pan'er. Zero Zero is always a big bag.

This year, everyone is very lively, but Du Zhao has been not very happy with a straight face, Yichen did not come out, stayed in his yard to recuperate, he had a bad time this year.

Du Zhao and Jingfu treated each other indifferently, avoiding them if they could, almost to the point of not speaking, and others were helpless when they saw it.

However, everything that should be persuaded has been done, Du Zhao refuses to turn back, no one can do anything, everyone no longer persuades, let him go.

Du Heng asked about the old lady's illness, learned the specific reason for the Li family's affairs, and sighed in private, "My mother's life is too smooth, she married a gentleman and climbed high step by step, from a merchant girl to an official wife, if it weren't for my father's early death, my mother can be said to be envied by many people."

Although it is not easy to be widowed with us, the patriarch uncle is a kind person, and he brings us together in front of him to teach, my mother hardly bothered, and there are no people in the clan who are high and low, and some are also outsiders.

Our three sons have all become officials, and they all praise my mother for her ability and teaching three good sons, in fact, we know in our hearts that this is all the credit of the patriarch's uncle, without him teaching us harshly, we would not be where we are today.

Mother has always hoped that the Li family can change the court, and the Li family listens to her mother's words, but it is difficult for her to accept that someone in the Du family dares to resist her.

The sister-in-law was the first to refuse to give in and lost her life, while Fu'er was the second, but her wolf-like personality finally defeated her. ”

Hearing this, the Qian family persuaded softly, "You can't blame Fu'er, the Li family hasn't stopped all these years, and mercy has been taught like that, with the credit of the Li family and the Li family."

What can children understand, they didn't teach it well at the beginning, and at a young age, they used money to buy someone to drug Fu'er and want her to die. I don't believe that the Li family didn't have an idea.

I'm still afraid that I'm in the way of mercy, I don't have a good heart, I give money to my eldest brother, and they also have a share of credit for alienating the relationship between father and daughter, they died unjustly, and after all, they still left a little cub, which can be regarded as leaving a root for the big house. ”

Du Heng sighed, "I know, the Li family has not done anything good, I have asked Du Peng, these years with the Du family is very arrogant outside, this time it was cleaned up, and the patriarch was also willing in his heart."

This time, the patriarch's uncle also talked to me for a long time, and now the Du family has a new look, regrouped, and looks different in appearance and spirit, and the second brother is becoming more and more clear and upright, which is really good. ”

Qian said with a smile: "Fu'er, this child, has means and scheming, but also has a great kindness, no matter how wronged he is, to the Du family and your brothers, Fu'er is worthy of conscience, and is worthy of the surname of the Du family." ”

"Yes, I don't blame her for my mother's business, I know in my heart that this is my mother's calamity, without this incident, there will be other things, Fu'er will not punish the nine clans if she shoots the Li family, and if you change the opponent to attack, there will be no living people in the Li family."

How can Du Heng not understand the sinister nature of officialdom when he is an official, he is not good at scheming but he is not stupid, and being upright and honest is his best protective umbrella.

"Don't worry, Fu'er said that the old lady is only recovering slowly, but it won't be a big deal in three or five years."

Qian gritted his teeth with hatred for this mother-in-law, but because of her husband's face, she hid it in her heart and didn't say anything, and now she can't say anything when she sees the old lady falling ill, but in fact, she is happy in her heart, this is the bad person has evil retribution.

"When Brother Chen becomes a parent, you can go out with me, let Brother Chen take his daughter-in-law away, and don't put your mother-in-law's score, the Li family has the kindness of Brother Chen, we have to treat other people's daughters well."

Du Heng pulled his daughter-in-law to sit beside him, gently brushed the broken hair from her sideburns for her, looked at her face and found that she also had faint white hair, and couldn't help but feel pity.

"Daughter-in-law, I have wronged you all these years, my mother is not a gentle mother-in-law, and I didn't know how to do housekeeping when I was young, so I was inevitably blinded by my mother, and I didn't protect you enough.

Now that our son is older, we don't have to worry so much about being able to stay together, I know that the Du family is sorry for your three daughters-in-law, what I can do is to leave the rest of my life to you alone. ”

Qian burst into tears and fell into her husband's arms.
