Since Du Fu received the decree of marriage, there has been an endless stream of people visiting the door in the past few days. On this day, Mrs. Peng came to the door again, and took Du Mingxin's hand with a burst of sympathetic emotion: "I can only blame my family for not being blessed, I personally picked such a virtuous daughter-in-law, and I couldn't fall into our family's ......"

Du Mingxin frowned and said, "Madame is cautious." If these words are spread, it will damage the reputation of your house and my house. ”

Mrs. Peng nodded the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief to hide her embarrassed look, then turned her head and smiled: "Why don't you see Sister Zhu and Sister Yan today?" I heard that Sister Yan was going to marry Li Shangshu's mansion, why didn't she dare to show up? ”

"Sister Zhu'er and the two of them are infected with the cold, and they are afraid that they will be sick to you, so they didn't call out to see them." The eldest lady said with a wistful expression, in fact, both of them were reluctant to come out to meet people. Don't look at Mrs. Peng's face since she came to the present, she has always been kind and pleasant, but she knows in her heart that Mrs. Peng's trip is to ask for the dowry sent before.

"Old lady, madam, the young grandmother of the Wei Mansion has brought two girls over to see the second girl." The little maid outside came into the house to report.

Du Ming was overjoyed, and he was finally able to find a reason to leave Mrs. Peng.

At this time, three figures sneaked out of the back door of Du Mansion, a maid carrying a small burden, and a woman with a headscarf wrapped in her hair and half of her face with both hands.

The little guy on the side hurriedly said: "Big girl, let's go quickly, there are guests at the front door at this time, and they are in chaos, let's go out from this alley, make sure no one can see it." ”

Du Mingyan nodded, and dragged the maid magpie forward quickly.

After bypassing the alley and getting farther away from Du Mansion, the nervous mood of the three people calmed down a little.

"Fu'an, how far is it in Jingshui Hutong?" Du Mingyan asked.

"Big girl, the little one is going to call you a sedan chair. If you don't go all the way, not to mention that your legs are sore and your feet are numb, the subordinates of the Hou Mansion will not look indecent. ”

Du Mingyan smiled: "That's exactly the reason. Or will you do things, and if you follow me in the future, you can't be wrong in life. ”

"Then the minion will thank you big girl first!" Fu'an got Du Mingyan's words, and went to find a sedan chair for her.

It was much faster to get on the sedan chair, Du Mingyan sat inside, holding the burden tightly in her arms, and sweetly fantasized about Lin Lang's appearance. He's supposed to be tall, right? Since he is a military general, he must be very energetic. The princess took a fancy to him at a glance, which showed that he was very good-looking......

Du Mingyan buried her face in her burden, imagining that she was going to see Lin Lang in a while, and her heart fluttered.

As soon as the sedan chair turned into an alley, Du Mingyan heard Fu'an laughing outside: "Brother Wang, why are you waiting at the mouth of the alley?" ”

"That's Miss Du in there?" The eldest brother Wang asked, and stretched out his hand to the sedan curtain as he asked.

Du Mingyan sat in it and was caught off guard by someone who opened the sedan curtain, and looked up at the man, who was also a thoughtful-looking young man.

Du Mingyan raised her head and made Brother Wang look straight at him. His throat moved almost invisibly, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Fu'an saw that Du Mingyan had a look of displeasure on his face, and hurriedly introduced: "Big girl, this is the eldest entourage of Hou Ye's side, Wang Chengwang's eldest brother." The first time I went back to the Hou Mansion to deliver the letter, I met Brother Wang, and he sent kindness to help me forward the letter to the Hou Ye. ”

Du Mingyan was stunned when she heard this, and asked in disbelief: "You, didn't you hand over the letter to Hou Ye personally?" ”

Fu'an was also stunned by her question, and Wang Cheng on the side smiled and said: "Miss Du, Master Hou is busy, how can anyone say that he will send a letter or something, and come out to see him in person?" ”

"This, this ......" Although Du Mingyan felt that he was right, she still felt very uneasy for no reason. Hou Ye is waiting in the house, right? Let's not delay, get over it. ”

Wang Cheng looked at her delicate face, listened to this soft and glutinous voice, and his heart blossomed. "The girl may not know that the wedding date of the Hou Ye and the princess has been set, just at the end of April. Mrs. Tai said this morning that she would come to this house to take a look, and she was afraid that there would be many people to accompany the princess to marry, so she would vacate this place for preparation. ”

"So, what should I do?" Du Mingyan was completely panicked, this was different from what she thought!

"Don't be afraid, girl," Wang Cheng said with a smile, "Before entering the palace today, the Hou Ye ordered that the little one take you to my brother-in-law's house for two days, and when he finds a house for you, he will move over immediately." ”

"Your home?" Du Mingyan's eyes widened, "That narrow door and shallow door, how can I live there?" It is impossible for your lord to have only one house in Beijing, just ask me to live in any place first, what's the matter with living in someone's house? ”

"Miss Du, that's what my lord commanded." Wang Cheng saw that her eldest lady's temper had come up, and her tone became tougher, "The little one just does what he is told, why don't you wait for you to see the Hou Ye and ask him yourself?" ”

"You!" Du Mingyan thought about it, but still endured her temper. I have an outer room, and I haven't even seen the face of the prime minister, and I lose my temper with the prime minister's long-term entourage on the street, which is too cost-effective.

"Let's go, then." She stretched out her hand and ripped the sedan curtain off Wang Cheng's hand, and sat in the sedan chair sulking.

Wang Cheng greedily glanced at the burden in her hand, rubbing his two fingers back and forth, feeling the touch of Du Mingyan's fingertips crossing his palm.

*

Du Mansion didn't get into chaos until the time of the lamplight.

"Good, good, good! Where the girl went, you don't know! The second master was in Du Mingyan's house, and shouted angrily at the maid who was kneeling on the ground, "If you don't tell me about the ugly man today, I will sell it to you early tomorrow morning!" ”

A maid cried, "Master, we really don't know! Since she came to the capital, the girl only asked the magpie to serve alone, but whenever there was any important errand, the girl also called her. ”

The eldest man walked around the house irritably, the girl in the family had such a thing, and the few who didn't say goodbye would definitely be delayed, and Du Mingxin, who was given marriage, might be implicated!

"Go and call me all the people at the back door and the second door," said the old man angrily, "the three big living people are gone, can they still fly out of the house!" ”

Du Mingxin remembered the correspondence between Du Mingyan and Lin Lang that he had inquired about before. She explained the cause and effect, and then said, "Maybe Cheng Anhou will have the whereabouts of her sister there." ”

"Cheng Anhou?" The old man suddenly felt that his head was as big as a fight, "This dead girl!" What is she doing to provoke Cheng Anhou? Don't you know that he is the emperor's favorite son-in-law? ”

The second master also felt very panicked, in case the princess went to Du Mansion because of Du Mingyan's grudge, then his five-rank official position that had not yet been covered would be suspended.
