Du Mingxin heard that such incomprehensible words could come out of his father's mouth, and he was really too lazy to socialize with him, so he frowned and said: "If there is such a thing in the future, my father will send someone to say it, and I don't need to come in person." ”

Second Master Du squinted at his daughter's face and sneered, "What's the matter?" You're just a princess, and you dare to make your father look good! Heaven and Earth Monarch, even if you become the crown princess, you can't give me any less respect! ”

Du Ming put down the teacup with a heavy heart, looked at Second Master Du coldly, and said nothing.

Second Master Du jumped up angrily, pointed at Du Mingxin's nose and shouted: "Dead girl, if it weren't for me, how could you be sitting here wearing gold and silver and calling slaves and servants like this today?" Do you think that if you plucked Chen Xi and asked him to press me to be an errand in the Ministry of Rites, I wouldn't be able to get ahead, wouldn't you? ”

Du Ming's heart froze, and he asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Second Master Du said proudly: "The emperor ordered the repair of the imperial mausoleum, Gao Shoufu and Dingguo Gong presided, and Lord Zhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, sent me to assist Gao Shoufu!" This is the first imperial mausoleum since the founding of our Dayan, and it is the imperial mausoleum that opened the foundation of the world! When the dungeon is completed, I am afraid that the black gauze hat on my head will be changed! ”

Du Mingxin instinctively felt that this errand was very unsafe, so he said anxiously: "You are staying in the Ministry of Rites, why do you need to take such a risky errand?" Haven't you heard of the fact that Empress Shen's family was beheaded at the end of the previous dynasty? ”

"Humph!" Second Master Du said contemptuously, "The woman is foolish! Above the court, how can the cause and effect of some things be clearly understood by women and children? That Emperor Changqing has been dissatisfied with the Shen family for a long time, and the collapse of the imperial tomb underground palace is just the reason he is looking for! If he didn't find such a reason, how could he uproot the Shen family and depose Empress Shen and the crown prince? If you want to blame it, you can only blame the younger brother of Queen Shen, don't take this porcelain job if you don't have diamonds! ”

Du Ming was extremely angry, knowing that there would be no result in arguing with his father over this, so he forcibly softened his tone and said: "Even if what you said is right, but this matter is very important, behind you are the entire Du Mansion and so many in-laws!" You only see the credit of the imperial tomb after it was built, but how much do you know about the art of Kanyu? How much do you know about the 'Three Rites'? ”

A sentence poked at the sore spot of Second Master Du, although he thought he was a well-educated person, he was really a little weak in etiquette. But no matter what, he can't lose face in front of this unfilial girl.

"You've only been studying for a few days? Dare to talk about etiquette in front of your father! Second Master Du said angrily, "Besides, I am not such a stubborn person, and the regulations for building the imperial mausoleum are discussed by everyone in the Ministry of Etiquette......

"But you're the one who takes responsibility!" Du Mingxin did not flinch.

"Ignorance! Stupid and blunt! Amusing! Second Master Du originally came to his daughter here to show off with joy, but he didn't expect to provoke such an unhappy scene, and immediately brushed his sleeves away hatefully.

When Chen Xi returned home, Du Mingxin's emotions had not calmed down. After he asked the reason, he put his arm around Du Mingxin's shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, I'll find someone to keep an eye on my father-in-law's ......."

Du Mingxin leaned his head on Chen Xi's chest and said depressedly: "My father-daughter relationship with him is long gone...... He is stupid and unaware, he loves to listen to people's praise but does not learn and does not know how to do it, I am afraid that he will take this responsibility, something will go wrong, and you will be implicated! After all, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at you up and down the court......"

Chen Xi stroked her hair and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I have everything with me!" Just rest assured, I'll take care of it. ”

Du Ming nodded in confusion, got up to wait for Chen Xi to change his clothes, and the two went to the banquet room for dinner.

“…… The indistinguishability between the descendants and the concubines is the root of the chaotic family, and this ideal must be understood by you better than me. Qianqing Palace, Chen Yuantai said slowly to Lin Lang, who was kneeling on the ground.

Lin Lang's heart sank slowly, it seems that the emperor is going to pull the shelf!

"However, I also know that your family is not prosperous, and it is normal for people to be anxious for their heirs."

Chen Yuantai took a sip of tea and felt that it was really difficult to say this. He has always prided himself on being a fair and upright person, walking rightly, and sitting upright. But thinking about his daughter's disgraced face, Chen Yuantai still said the words: "Anping is angry in his heart, you are older than her, so be more considerate when you should be considerate." You are still young, and you are not in a hurry in the past two years. ”

Lin Lang's lips were closed, the emperor had put his posture so low, how could he refute it?

Anping said that she had seen all the doctors in the palace and the capital who were slightly famous. I think the opportunity has not yet arrived, and you have nothing to do on weekdays to go to the Buddhist temple. I have also ordered people to visit famous doctors in the northwest, Jiangnan and other places, and you two will take a look at it when the time comes! ”

Lin Lang's heart sank, the emperor is implying that he may not be Princess Anping's fault! Speaking of which, Lin Lang knew that it was useless to say more, so he had to remain silent to express his attitude.

Chen Yuantai didn't pay attention to it, he turned his head and instructed the prince: "You take the horse to Cining Palace, just say what I said, ask the princess to go back to the house with the horse, just when the family is reunited for the Lantern Festival!" ”

"Minions, let's go." The prince received the order, invited Lin Lang to get up, and took him to Cining Palace.

Chen Yuantai rubbed his eyebrows, opened a book on the bookcase casually, looked at it for a while but never looked at it, then threw it aside and ordered someone to drive Jingren Palace.

Qian Yulan was reclining on the big pillow by the kang in the banquet room at this time, eating the peeled grapes in the crystal plate with a small silver fork, while listening to the eunuch's reply.

“…… Hou Ye said that everything was fine at home, and so were the two brothers. Last time, you asked for the emperor's grace and invited a gentleman to the two brothers, and now you read every day, and even the marquis goes to discuss and discuss with your husband from time to time. ”

Qian Yulan nodded and said, "That's good." Although the family is now ...... But the children are literate and reasonable, so that they will not fall into the family style, and they will be better slowly. ”

"Yes, Hou Ye said the same." The eunuch said yes again and again, but said with some embarrassment, "It's just that before leaving, Mrs. Hou called the servant over and said, saying that the family's use is some, and it is a little difficult......"

"How so?" Qian Yulan exclaimed, "Didn't the emperor give you land when he was knighted?" Can sister-in-law elaborate? ”

The eunuch replied: "Mrs. Hou said that although the grange is on the outskirts of Beijing, it is only a hundred acres in total...... In addition, there are only some antique toys rewarded by the emperor at home, as well as some gold and silver from Jiangnan. It's good to say when it's good, but I'm afraid it's going to pawn things when it's bad. ”
