Du Mingzhu's face suddenly became ugly, she originally expected the second sister to tell her a good family affair, but who knew that she would have to pick a child.
The eldest lady didn't think so. Du Mingxin mentioned Ding Shao's marriage before, but was rejected by their mother and daughter. Now that Ding Shao has entered the Hanlin Academy, the eldest lord in the same department of the General Administration Department quietly said that He Nanbu's political envoy Ding Shifeng will soon enter the Ministry of Industry and then enter the cabinet, and the eldest lord came back and scolded her urgently, and then ordered her to settle this family business.
The eldest lady felt that it was the Ding family who begged Du Mingxin at the beginning, but her own family was unwilling. Now I go back to the Ding family, although I am a little embarrassed on my face, but for the sake of my daughter's lifelong happiness, what is this face?
She cleared her throat and instructed the Lu family: "The old lady has something to say to Sister Xin alone, you take a few sisters to the wing room to talk first." ”
Lu got up and agreed, beckoning to take a few younger sisters out. Du Mingshu glanced at Du Mingxin worriedly, saw her smile at herself, nodded again, and followed Lu out with an uneasy mood.
"I wonder what you're going to say to me?" Du Mingxin picked up the teacup and took a sip, it was the Wuyi Mingcong that Mrs. Du was used to drinking, the soup was deep and tasteful, she didn't like it very much.
Mrs. Du didn't say anything, only motioned for the eldest lady to speak.
"Didn't you mention the marriage of the Ding family to me before?" The eldest lady smiled, "At that time, Sister Zhu and I were shallow. Later, your uncle scolded me severely, saying that this was chosen by you with your heart, and it was an excellent marriage, and told me not to disappoint your good intentions. Can the parents of the young man be in the capital? If not, he might be in charge of his own affairs? Sister Zhu'er is not too young, so it's better to settle down early......"
Du Mingxin smiled indifferently, his eyes only rolling on the eldest lady's face.
"You girl," said the eldest lady, touching her face and laughing, "what do you look at on my face?" ”
"I want to see some news on my aunt's face!" Du Mingxin smiled, "I want to see what can make the eldest aunt change her mind so completely and so quickly!" ”
The eldest lady smiled wryly, "What else can there be?" ”
She quickly glanced at Mrs. Du and said with a smile: "In our family, all major affairs are up to your uncle." Since he said so, can I still disobey? ”
"But I remember that when I mentioned this marriage to you, Brother Kun hadn't even been born yet!" Du Mingxin smiled, "It's almost four months since Brother Kun is now, and this can't be done." ”
When the eldest lady heard her say this, she couldn't help but change her face, frowned and asked, "How did you say this?" Could it be that the son of Nading has already decided on a family affair? ”
"It's also decided, although the Geng post hasn't been exchanged yet, but both sides have already taken a fancy to it." Du Mingxin said with a smile.
Now the eldest lady is really panicked, if this family business is also yellow, the eldest lady has to eat her alive.
Old Mrs. Du coughed twice, and said slowly: "Since the Geng post has not been exchanged yet, it is not yet a decision." The Ding family came to us first, if we say yes, his family may not necessarily have to marry that family, right? Sister Xin'er, this is a major event in your third sister's life, if you have some heart, she will accept your love in the future. ”
Du Mingxin smiled: "The third sister has accepted my love, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to explain it to the fifth sister!" ”
"Huh?" The eldest lady didn't turn the corner for a while, and asked, "What's the matter with Sister Guan Shu'er?" ”
Mrs. Du glared at her, this eldest daughter-in-law is really regressing more and more! "Sister Shu'er is still young, since the Ding family can take a fancy to her, there will definitely be the Zhang family and the Li family in the future. I'll be in charge of this family business, and tell Sister Zhu! ”
Du Mingxin secretly sneered, everyone in this family hurts, but she and Du Mingshu are like weeds growing in Du Mansion, no one asks, what you should get has to be given to others first, why!
"Grandmother, aunt," Du Mingxin said with a smile, "Haven't you heard of the saying 'A good horse doesn't eat grass'?" What's more, I've already taken Sister Shu to see Ding Gongzi, people don't just need to marry a Du family girl, but they must marry Sister Shu'er. ”
The eldest lady showed an angry look on her face, and after a few breaths, she changed her tone of self-righteous and flattering: "Sister Xin'er, if you are unwilling to help Sister Zhu because I offended you in the palace last time, then the eldest aunt will kneel on the ground and kowtow to you three times to make amends." Hengzhu, you are now the princess, and you can stand my three heads, and no one will say anything about you. ”
"Seeing that your third sister is already nineteen years old, you are the same age, you see that your child is almost half a year old, and her family affairs have not yet been ......" The eldest lady said and said, and the true feelings came up.
She fiddled with her sideburns with red circles and showed it to Du Mingxin: "I'm only in my early forties, look at it, the hair here is gray...... It's all about Sister Zhu's marriage in the past two years...... Sister Xin, you should pity your eldest aunt and third sister, if you continue like this, she has not yet married, and I will die of sorrow first! ”
Du Mingxin lowered his eyelids and said, "Auntie, it's not that I don't think about Sister Zhu, this marriage is also mentioned by her first." I had no choice but to mention it to Sister Zhu and you twice, but you both refused, what else can I say? ”
"Sister Zhu's marriage is so unsmooth, don't be in a hurry to complain about others, do you have your own reasons? First of all, there was the Li family's incident, and you always said that Sister Jing had picked up the leaks and got a great benefit. But when she got married, you and Sister Zhu were only afraid that they would still have fun in their hearts, right? ”
"Then there is the Ding family, you and Sister Zhu both disliked Ding Gongzi's father at first because he had no official status and a bad family background. Even the clay people still have three points of temper, let alone a scholar like Ding Gongzi? Don't say that I can't hurt Sister Shu for Sister Zhu'er, that is, I can pull down my face and go to the Ding family, if you go back on your word like this and go to Qin and Twilight, will Ding Gongzi still be willing? The reputation of the Du family girl is not very good outside, and the eldest aunt should cherish it. ”
After speaking, she got up and said goodbye: "I originally came to talk to my father today, and I came to see my grandmother by the way." It's not too early now, so I'll go to my father's study first. ”
She turned to leave, and heard no more of the big lady's shouting behind her.
Because Du Mingxin sent someone to deliver the letter yesterday, the second master did not go to the Ministry of Rites to order it. Hengzhi is the father-in-law of the King of Jin, and he is also idle, and there is no one in the Ministry of Rites to make it difficult for him.
"If you don't say that you will come home, I will be ready to go to the palace to find you in the next two days." The second old man said excitedly.
"What's the matter with my father?" Du Ming intuitively sensed that the second master would not have anything good waiting for her.
