"We are all civil officials, and we pay the most attention to a clean reputation." Seeing that his younger brother's mind was loosened, the eldest lord said in a relaxed tone, "Even if Lin Lang has a good temper and can treat his sister well, what kind of reputation will he have when the coffin is closed in a hundred years?" They are noble families, and those who are military generals don't care about reputation, but what about our family? Brother Kai, the sons you will give birth to in the future will all go through the imperial examination to enter the office. There is an uncle with such a reputation in the family, what do you think of them by your name Shilin Qingliu? ”

The eldest master's words can be regarded as talking about the second master's heart. He went on a career and admired wealth, in the final analysis, for the sake of posterity, for his son who had no trace of him. Otherwise, wouldn't the Kiji camp end up empty?

"My brother and sister-in-law are right," the second old man looked grateful, "This family affair can't be knotted!" Then after the New Year, you will have to trouble your sister-in-law. ”

The eldest lady smiled: "Don't wait so long, I'll take my sister to meet the guests during the New Year!" Our girl is good, but don't worry about not being able to do it! ”

"There is another thing...... the second master wanted to mention his own renewal, but it was really embarrassing to say this in front of his sister-in-law, "That's it, yes, the Shen family has also been gone for all these years, and no one cares about the mess in my house......"

The eldest lady thought for a moment, and then smiled and said, "This matter is also on me!" And when I'm done with my sister's business, she will definitely go down, and I'll be busy with you. ”

"No, no, in fact, I ......" said that he had a crush on his daughter's husband? Rao is the second master is thick-skinned, and he can't say this in front of his sister-in-law.

The eldest man smiled: "No matter how anxious you are, you have been widowed for all these years, Sister Xin'er missed this year, and you won't be able to pick a good one if you look for it again!" ”

The second master thinks about it, whether Mr. Jiang is a widow or unmarried, and he has not been married for so many years, so he is not in a hurry.

The eldest lady was relieved when she saw him. If the second master marries the step-room first, where will it be her turn to interfere in Du Mingxin's marriage!

After sending off the second master, the eldest master and his wife went back to the inner courtyard together, washed up, and whispered in the inner room again.

"I think the second brother still doesn't know anything, I'm afraid I'm still waiting for someone to deliver the message in front of the Queen Mother in the future!" The eldest lady said while facing the mirror and removing the hairpin ring on her head.

"Whether it is the Queen Mother or others, both horizontal and vertical are the dignity of the Shen family in front of the emperor." The eldest man was crooked on the bed, holding a book in his hand, and said absentmindedly, "If he wants to climb up with these, it depends on whether his sister is willing or not." ”

"The second brother is really confused," the eldest lady said with a smile, "how can such a daughter be treated so harshly!" Throwing it on the village village when he hit a child is really chilling. ”

"He's not been a smart man since he was a child," the eldest man said casually, turning a page of the book idly, "Besides, if he hadn't been confused, would it have been your mother's turn to do this good thing?" ”

"What's wrong with my mother's family?" The eldest lady dug out a little balm from the tortoiseshell box, patted it evenly and wiped it on her face, and said unhappily, "Huining Bofu is also a hereditary count in the Zhou Dynasty!" If it weren't for bad luck and a change of day, I wouldn't look down on Du Mingxin in my eyes! ”

The eldest man didn't answer this, and turned another page of the book in his hand.

"When the time comes, I will say to the second brother," the eldest lady moved to the side of the bed and lay down against the eldest master, "The girl's family is all extroverted, and when she gets married, she is devoted to her husband." If he wants to rely on his daughter, he still has to marry his daughter to his in-laws. I'm in the mansion, can the Bofu ignore me? In the future, the two will definitely go hand in hand, and both will be prosperous. ”

The eldest lord quietly moved inside and said, "If you want to take advantage of this, take advantage of the Chinese New Year to get things done." It's late, people come to the door, and the second brother is about to sit on the ground and start the price. ”

"Of course I know that." The eldest lady sat up and blew out the candle at the bedside in one fell swoop.

Before noon on the second day, two groups of guests came to Du Mansion. Mrs. Du Min brought a son and a daughter over to greet the old lady, and took a look at the second brother's family by the way. The eldest lady's maiden sister-in-law, Mrs. Huining Boshizi, brought her son Peng Kang to visit her in-laws.

After everyone greeted each other, Du Min stepped in front of Mrs. Bo Shizi of Huining, took Du Mingxin with one hand, took out a handkerchief with the other and began to wipe her tears: "When your mother first came to our house, I was not married, and I really followed my second sister-in-law to learn the rules and upbringing for two years. Not a few years after I left the house, your mother went to ...... at a young age."

Du Mingxin looked at his aunt who was crying sincerely in front of him, but he was thinking about Grandma Cui's words in his heart. Because the Shen family was much higher than the Du family back then, the Du family's daughters were naturally wary and jealous of the Shen family. When they saw that the second master and the Shen family were often arguing, they all began to fall into the well. When Shen died, before the funeral, Du Min teamed up with Aunt Liu to coax the second master and pulled off the clothes in Shen's house.

As for the eldest wife, Xu is self-conscious, or only planning behind the scenes, and she is not in these things. But if it is said that their relationship when the Shen family was there, it can only be regarded as a face-to-face relationship.

Mrs. Peng was not careful, and was preempted by Du Min, and she was naturally angry in her heart. But after all, they are serious relatives, so they had to smile and say to Mrs. Du: "...... When I was a child, I saw it a few times, and at that time I said it was a beautiful embryo, but I didn't expect that after this grown, it was even more beautiful than the beauty on the painting! ”

Mrs. Du smoked a hookah, glanced at her daughter who was still crying, and then looked at Mrs. Peng, who had changed her arrogant attitude, and felt that she needed to pull her eldest son to ask what was going on at home.

Peng Kang and Du Min's son Tao Huan are both fifteen or sixteen years old, and it is reasonable that the two of them should not sit in the inner courtyard for a long time. But the elders seemed to deliberately ignore this, and the two had to sit with their backs straight.

Hearing Mrs. Peng's praise of Du Mingxin's appearance, Peng Kang's ears couldn't help but feel a little hot. The purpose of today's visit, his mother has already told him in detail. He was worried that Du Ming's heart was unsalted, but he had to marry. At a glance, he was already willing to do so.

Du Mingzhu and Du Mingyan were very irritable in their hearts. The two of them used to be the focus of attention at home, and when there were guests at home, if they wanted to praise them, they would praise them first, when would it be Du Mingxin's turn?

Mrs. Peng saw that she had been talking for a long time, and Mrs. Du had been lukewarm, and her face was a little unbearable. What is it! Where is this, the tail is cocked high, and I am not afraid of falling down and dying when I climb high!

Seeing that her sister-in-law was angry, the eldest lady hurriedly smiled and said, "Old lady, although it is already a month now, the children's homework is more important than anything else. Kang Ge'er has always worked hard, and in the past few days, he has written a topic over and over again. The gentleman said that it was good, but he was not satisfied, so he wanted to come to live at home for a few days and learn from Brother Kai. ”
