After autumn, there were several autumn rains in a row, and it took seven or eight days of hard work, and the weather was cold and damp. Many wealthy families in the capital have already raised charcoal braziers in their houses to keep warm.

Du Xuexiang's room was damp and cold, she leaned on the bed and covered two quilts and still felt cold hands and feet, coupled with the uncomfortable stomach pain, the autumn rain outside was endless, and her mood was even more irritable and boring.

"How many days has it been raining?" Du Xuexiang was bored, her face and lips were pale.

The maid hurriedly comforted her: "In previous years, after autumn, it would rain for a few days in a row, but this year it was just a few days earlier. ”

Du Xuexiang stretched out his hand and threw out a thread-bound book at the head of the bed, and scolded sharply: "Who let you talk, something unruly!" ”

The maid was smashed, her forehead was suddenly red and swollen, and she knelt on the ground and walked without staying, and she was so resentful in her heart, but she felt relieved when she saw Du Xuexiang's painful expression.

When the stalemate was in the middle of the stalemate, Du Xuexiang's brother Du Jin came in, and saw his sister sitting on the bed with a violent face, the maid knelt on the ground, and the books on the ground fell apart and fell into two parts. He sighed first, waved his hand at the maids, and let them go down first.

Looking at the pale little face of the girl on the bed, Du Jin's words came to his mouth and swallowed again, and Wen Yan persuaded: "You are not feeling well now, don't always get angry, relax your heart, and your body will get better faster." ”

Du Xuexiang got angry when she saw her brother's gentle and honest appearance, and shouted: "What is the reason why I am not well? Isn't it that you can't even afford a charcoal fire at home? Zhang Yan handed me a letter saying that she now has two charcoal braziers burning in her room, and she just wants to wear a summer shirt when it is hot! ”

Du Jin choked. patiently persuaded: "The Guogong Mansion is the Guogong Mansion, how can our family compare?" Grandparents and grandparents are so old. We haven't lit the charcoal brazier yet, how can we juniors use it first? Besides, you can use all the hand warmers at home. "In other words, what is there not to be satisfied with?

Du Xuexiang's stomach was already hurting terribly, and Du Jinqi's head hurt, she bent over and cried on the bed, tears fell uncontrollably, and a large fuchsia satin quilt embroidered with Ruyi peony was wet.

Du Jin was a little distressed, since his little sister was pampered by the family. I have never been wronged, and now I am unwell. He was in a short mood, and he could understand it, "Let's find a doctor to take a look, I've never seen you so serious before......"

Saying that, Du Jin was embarrassed to continue, his slightly chubby face flushed, after all, it was a matter of the girl's family, and it was inconvenient for him to say more. 【】

"How do I find a doctor?" Du Xuexiang stopped crying. Keep your head up. How can I find a male doctor to come over for this kind of thing? I don't have the face to say it, and when I spread it, people still think that there is something wrong with me and I can't have children!

Du Jin thought about it, and suddenly said in surprise: "Isn't there a female doctor in the Tai Hospital?" It's just that Du Jin couldn't go on anymore, saying that people were a little unkind when they quit their relatives, and then said: "It seems to be surnamed Yuan, I heard that the medical skills at a young age are very good, I asked my father to come forward and invite her to show you." ”

Du Xuexiang is going crazy, ask Yuan Jinqing to come and treat her? There are no doors! Even if she dies of illness, she doesn't want Yuan Jinqing to show grace to her!

"Brother, what kind of crazy thing are you going to smoke? What to do with her? Don't you know that I've always been at odds with her! You're slapping your sister in the face! Du Xuexiang scolded angrily.

The anger on Du Jin's face gradually accumulated, gritted his teeth and desperately suppressed his anger, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't think I don't know why you don't get along with others? I'll only tell you once, if you think you're still the daughter of the Du family, don't do shameless things outside, how can you lick your face and flatter you? It's just a joke that my Du family is uneducated! ”

Although he didn't know Imperial Doctor Yuan, he heard that he was also a rule-abiding person, and his sister wanted to marry Wei'an, no matter who it was, as long as she had a relationship with Wei'an, I was afraid that his arrogant sister would look at her unpleasantly.

Du Xuexiang covered her stomach with one hand, her face was pale with anger, her hands and feet were cold, she was so sick now, her brother was fine, but he helped outsiders to bully her! "How can I not be ashamed? If I become the Duchess of the Kingdom, your uncle will be promoted to an official and make a fortune, and it will not be a matter of being caught? ”

Du Jin's face softened a lot, but the sneering look was still there, "Don't dare to be, although I, Du Jin, have no talent, but I am not a soft bone that relies on my brother-in-law to climb up!" ”

Look at his sister's proud face, she is almost stepping on the clouds, and she wants him, the eldest brother, to rely on his brother-in-law's promotion to make a fortune, who slapped whom in the face?

Du Xuexiang was also shocked to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and the stomach pain made her brain confused, so she simply softened, lowered her voice and said, "Big brother, didn't I say the wrong thing in a moment's hurry?" Zhang Yan trusts me and likes me, put more effort into her, and coax the old woman in the family, maybe the old woman will choose me! ”

After a pause, Du Xuexiang blushed again and said, "Brother, I really like Gong." ”

Du Jin's talent is not high, but he still reads a lot of sour and rotten books, and he was even more angry when he heard his sister say this, and pointed at her and shouted: "Do you know that marrying someone is the order of your parents?" Father and mother are reluctant to propose marriage to Mrs. Guogongfu, what is a girl doing in your family, jumping up and down there, licking her face to please others? Do you know how our family is spread in the capital now? Yes? said that our family wanted power and money, and wanted to go crazy, so that our pampered daughter came out to rob the marriage, and flattered and curry favor in front of my wife! No face and no skin is the first in the capital! ”

No matter how smart and thoughtful Du Xuexiang is, she is also a ten-year-old girl, and when she was scolded so ugly by her brother, tears fell down, "Brother, how can you say that about me?" ”

"It's not me who says that, it's people outside who say that about you. If you want me to talk about you, there are even more ugly things waiting for you! I'll make it clear to you today, I'm blocking the rumors outside, and I didn't let my father and mother know, if you are so ignorant and think about something you shouldn't think, I will ask my father to arrange your family affairs immediately, marry you to your aunt in the south, and only return to the capital once in the next ten or eight years! Du Jin gritted his teeth and said sharply.

Du Xuexiang was really panicked now, her eyes widened, the south is a wild and barren land, she should live in the prosperous capital, there are groups of slaves waiting, how can she go to that kind of place?

"Brother, you are so ruthless! What's in your way, sister? Du Xue Xiang has always been sad, she inhaled a cool breath with a stomachache, and asked with tears in her eyes.

Du Jin was ruthless and said: "People obviously don't look down on you, and they don't have the slightest intention of marrying you, but you think you are smart, and you jump up and down in front of everyone like a clown, and you lose the face of my Du family, you say, how can my Du family still tolerate you?" Who else in the capital will marry you? ”

Du Xuexiang wiped away her tears and said firmly: "As long as I have been in front of Mrs. for a long time, those people will naturally think that Mrs. belongs to me, and they are afraid that the family will not come to hire?" ”

Du Jin sneered: "Yes, I came to hire you to be my aunt to the family, and I happened to be a companion with your good sister Zhang Yan!" ”

"No, it won't!" Du Xuexiang was shocked. How could she be an aunt? She is going to be a genuine Duchess of the Kingdom, and she will manage the entire Guogong Mansion in the future!

"Won't?" Du Jin snorted coldly, looking at his beautiful and pale sister, his heart was full of anger, he hardened his heart, pointed at Du Xuexiang and scolded: "Why not? What are you compared to Miss Shangshu and the prime minister's daughter? If you jump again, your family will be annoyed and come directly to carry you as a concubine, where will you put your father's face on? ”

Du Xuexiang was crying darkly, how could she be willing? She is beautiful, smart, and reads poetry and books well, and the ladies in the capital count her outstanding, why can't she marry Wei An as a wife? What are those young ladies with good family backgrounds? Isn't it just that my father's official position is higher? Which one compares her?

"You just can't see me!" Du Xuexiang couldn't say anything about crying, "You don't have the ability to do it yourself, drag me down and can't find an in-law who I want, I'll plan my family affairs by myself, your useless brother not only doesn't help me, but also drags me back!" ”

Du Jinqi's face was purple with sauce, "I'm useless?" I'm dragging you down? Yes, I'm useless, I'm not as good as Wei'an, and martial arts are not as good as Meng Jun, even if I'm useless, but I still understand etiquette, righteousness and shame, and I know that people live with a face, I am still the head of the Du family, and the entire Du family will rely on me in the future.

What about you? Look at what you look like, just after seeing your husband a few times, you run to your wife all day long to flatter and flatter, and you are so shameless that you will be counted without shame! How can I have a sister like you, and lose the face of my Du family! ”

Du Xuexiang was scolded with a gray face, and the tears on his face couldn't stop flowing. The sound of the quarrel alarmed Mrs. Du and Grandma Du, who were resting in the backyard, and when Grandma Du came with Mrs. Du in her arms, she saw the brother and sister like roosters fighting red eyes.

"What are you guys doing!" Mrs. Du was so angry that she pushed away the child who was standing in the room, "Your sister is sick, and you still come to make trouble with her!" ”

Du Jin's face was ugly, "Mother, you will be less used to her in the future!" The shameless girl of the province is here! She's shameless, I still have face! ”

Grandma Du was born in a small scholarly family, and when she saw that her husband said something unpleasant, she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her husband's sleeve, this sister-in-law is the heart of her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law will not say anything, so she will settle the account on her daughter-in-law.

Du Jin was unmoved, pointed to Du Xuexiang, who was sobbing in Mrs. Du's arms, and said categorically: "I will call a doctor over this afternoon, if the diagnosis and treatment are not good, I will ask someone to ask Dr. Yuan from the Tai Hospital." If you dare to go out and do that shameless thing, I will tell my father and let him pick a family affair for you in the field as soon as possible, without your husband's permission, you will never want to set foot in the capital half a step in the future!
