Yuan Ying smiled: "What do they do?" No fun! ”

Ding Juan said persistently: "That's not the case, since they hit Sister Du with their idea, they should let her know the beginning and the end." ”

Du Mingxin smiled: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Ding Juan pointed at Yuan Ying and said helplessly: "At the beginning, my father-in-law had set a marriage for my second sister, but because of the war, the family was afraid that the capital would be trapped, so they hid in the countryside Zhuangzi. Who knew that the family was robbed clean by homeless people and bandits, and in the end, they were all killed......"

Yuan Ying lowered her head.

The tragedy of destroying the door can be said in just a few words, but what about those who once existed vividly?

"The second sister kept filial piety for a year, and then met the emperor who went out of the northwest at that time and wanted to attack the capital, so the family did not say goodbye to the second sister, and it was delayed until now."

It was easy to wait for the emperor to ascend the throne, but the mother-in-law only cared about Zhang Luo's own daughter and left the second sister aside. Now she is taking care of the middle feed, in the dowry left by her mother-in-law before, the proceeds of the Zhuangzi shop were all used by her to buy a dowry for the third sister, and when the second sister got married, she was afraid that there would be an empty shell left! ”

If you don't have a mother, that's it...... Du Ming felt sad in his heart, and asked, "Why did the third lady come to me?" ”

Ding Juan sneered: "Naturally, it is also for the rejuvenation of the country!" Your uncle hasn't married yet! ”

Du Mingxin smiled casually: "Then why don't you go to the king of Jin?" I'm afraid that the age is more appropriate. ”

"I need her to be able to do it!" Ding Juan smiled, and immediately felt that what he said was inappropriate, and quickly explained, "It's not that I look down on the Duke of Xingguo, it's just that the King of Jin has no father, no mother, no relatives, and is only loyal to the emperor. The ladies of all the families want to fight him, and there is no place to start......"

"It seems that the marriage of this King of Jin is for the emperor and the queen to decide." Du Mingxin said with a smile.

Ding Juan is a talkative person, and when she heard her say this, she became even more energetic, and said with a smile: "I heard the prime minister say that the official office in Beijing guessed that the princess of Jin was nothing more than three people. ”

She stretched out three fingers and counted them one by one: "The first one is the only daughter left by the emperor and the queen of Yuan, Princess Anping, and now the emperor is the only princess." The next one is the queen's maiden niece, named Deng Wenjiao, who is the cousin of the prince's concubine. This third is the youngest daughter of Dingguo Gong Xu Xing, whose maiden name is Xu Yuan. Dingguo Gong has followed the emperor since he was a child, and he has made his contributions to pacifying the northwest, Sichuan, and Gyeonggi, and he is really the first hero of the founding of the country! This Xu Yuan naturally rose to the top. ”

Mr. Jiang handed her a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Having said so much in one breath, let's drink saliva!" I want you to inquire about all these things clearly! ”

Ding Wan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Who of us, who is not looking forward to marrying these upstarts like them!" It's rare to change the world without a broken family, and you must always seek a rich and noble thousand-year-old one! ”

Yuan Ying pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister-in-law's mouth is really enviable, what she said seems to be unscrupulous, but it still makes sense." ”

Several people laughed.

Back at Du's mansion, Du Mingxin first went to the main courtyard to greet Mrs. Du, but saw that the people who were waiting on a cold day were standing under the eaves of the porch outside. The old man's angry voice came clearly from inside the room: "...... If you want to say that, you have no conscience! How much have I helped my brother-in-law over the years? It's his own mud that can't hold up the wall! I won't meet the officials, I can't do things, I don't even have a 'good' in the annual evaluation, and I still want to be promoted and make a fortune? It's easy for the family to have this hope, and you tell me to waste it in the muddy field of the Tao family? Dream on! ”

Du Min whimpered and cried: "Big brother, you just have a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, and you don't listen to what your mother says!" ”

The two sides quarreled, and it was good. Du Mingxin smiled slightly, and quietly left with someone.

Approaching the New Year, when everyone asked for peace, Mrs. Du instructed: "Our Du family is a scholarly family, in previous years, Brother Kai and Sister Zhu will write some Spring Festival couplets and post them at home, and this year you will also go to join in the fun!" ”

Du Mingxin stood up and agreed, and then followed Du Kai to the study.

Reading and writing, Du Mingxin is not afraid, but he has studied with Mr. Wu You for a few years, and he is still very good at handwriting. It's Du Mingyan, the second master never worries about his daughter's upbringing, and Aunt Liu doesn't have this knowledge, she just thinks that her daughter can dress up and clean up, and she is beautiful and good-looking, so she only knows some words, and she can't talk about calligraphy at all.

Du Mingxin took a pen, dipped it in thick ink, thought about it for a while, and wrote a pair of "One Yuan Repeats, Vientiane Renewal".

Peng Kang looked at Du Mingxin from time to time, and when he saw that she had taken a large pen, he couldn't help but sweat for her. Because of the weak arm strength of women, even those who are good at writing may not be able to write well.

Seeing that she finished writing, Peng Kang couldn't help but move over to look at it, but his eyes lit up, and he sincerely admired: "My cousin's family history is really good!" "I like Du Mingxin a little more in my heart.

Tao Huan glanced at the couplet, muttered "cheesy", and didn't say anything more.

When Du Mingzhu saw Du Mingxin's words, she felt surprised and a little jealous. How can a person who grew up in Zhuangzi write such good characters? Looking at his couplet again, he suddenly lost interest.

She calmly put what she had written into a ball, threw it into the brazier, and took Du Mingxin's two couplets and threw them in.

"What are you doing here?" Peng Kang exclaimed.

"To avoid trouble for the family." Du Mingzhu didn't raise his eyelids, and sat aside to drink tea.

Du Ming thought about it, probably because the word "Yuan" had offended the name of the new emperor. She tugged on her skirt and saluted Du Mingzhu, and said with a smile: "Thank you sister for mentioning it." ”

Du Kai looked at this, and then at that, and felt that the two younger sisters were very beautiful and intelligent, and there should be many nobles to help them in their future careers!

There was a small turmoil here, and Du Mingyan, who had good things on weekdays, didn't seem to see it. She was holding a pen, and there were already three or five drops of ink on the paper with a big red background, but she didn't care, her eyes staring at a certain point of the bookcase in a daze.

Du Mingshu's skills are not as good as Du Mingyan's, but she still writes hard. The couplets are stacked together, like the regular red painting of a newly enlightened young child.

Du Mingjing bit the pen and looked at Peng Kang and Du Mingxin for a while, and when she saw Du Mingzhu throwing the couplet into the brazier, she couldn't help poking Du Mingyan and laughed quietly: "Your sister-in-law is deflated." ”

Du Mingyan's mind came back from the fugue world, and she said a vague "um", and did not answer.

Du Mingjing looked at her strangely and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Du Mingyan turned her head and glared at her and said, "Not much! Write your words well! ”
