As soon as the curtain rang outside, the eldest master and the second master came in.

The eldest man heard Tao Huan's words outside, and felt that his sister's son really couldn't support the wall. He was originally hesitating between Peng Kang and Tao Huan, but now he feels that Peng Kang is more reliable. Otherwise, I made a lot of effort to get married, and found that I chose a mud that couldn't support the wall, wouldn't it be a loss!

He rebuked in a deep voice: "After reading all these years of books, you have no insight or bearing at all!" The matter between Brother Kang and Sister Xin'er, you alone, whether it is true or false is still in doubt. Even if it's true, Sister Xin is your cousin, you should always surround her, why did you fall into the well? ”

Isn't that a matter of indistinguishing between right and wrong, covering up and conniving? Tao Huan slandered in his heart, but he was afraid of his uncle since he was a child, and his father's official position was not high, so he had to shrink into a ball and listen to the reprimand like a quail.

Mrs. Du was very dissatisfied with the old man's statement, and she didn't take care of her sister-in-law, but went to take care of his wife's family! She saw that Mrs. Peng was about to climb up the pole, so she blocked her words back: "If the two of them are fine, then it is the best!" Brother Huan is just afraid that they will go astray. Don't be here in the pestle, you go and ask the maid to pass the meal. ”

The last sentence is addressed to the eldest lady.

It was still a table for men and a table for women, and they ate through the screen. Because Tao Huan made a fuss, the atmosphere on both sides was not good, and he ate a meal in a dull manner.

After the meal, the table was withdrawn, the maids served tea, and the eldest man was about to take the grandfather to the study in the outer courtyard, and the mother-in-law on the second door came to report: "There are two mothers-in-law sent by the Wei State Mansion outside, saying that they are sending posts to our house." ”

The Du Mansion has never had anything to do with the Wei Mansion, and this sudden post made everyone scratch their heads. The eldest lady turned her head to look at Mrs. Du, and saw that she didn't know what to do, so she asked, "But what did you say about the post that was sent?" ”

"I just said that it was a post from the grandmother of the Wei State Mansion."

Then it is unlikely that Mrs. Du and Mrs. Du will be invited.

"Please come in." Mrs. Du commanded, and handed the freshly lit hookah to the maid who was waiting next to her.

The two mothers-in-law sent by the Duke of Wei were well-behaved, dressed and spoke decently: "...... My grandmother heard that the second girl in the house was also a student of Mr. Jiang, and because of this rare fate, the eldest grandmother wanted to invite the second girl to sit at home. In the future, everyone will be in the capital, so it is good to have a care. ”

Du Ming's heart was very happy, she was thinking about how to open her mouth to Mrs. Du, and the post had already arrived. Mrs. Peng was only a little happier than her, and felt that this daughter-in-law was really too cost-effective to marry.

The Duke of Wei is almost in his prime, and he is the highest ranking among the nobles left over from the Zhou Dynasty. Because Chen Yuantai raised troops under the banner of Shuntian and the people, after arriving in the capital, the more people who returned to Shun, the better.

The unprecedented preferential treatment he gave to the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty also won the hearts of many people. However, Wei Guogong vacillated between being a loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty and protecting his descendants, and finally had to compromise, he resigned from his errand with his son who had passed the year of the Mandate of Heaven, and stayed at home to let his eldest grandson come out.

The eldest lady smiled: "This friendship is really rare! On that day, my sister will definitely go. She thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile, "But this is the first time that Sister Xin has gone out as a guest in Beijing, so Sister Zhu will accompany her, so she can take care of it." ”

Du Mingzhu was very irritable in her heart, why did Du Mingxin come, it was her turn to do good things, but she became an old mother who went out with others! Wei Guogongfu, hum, I am not afraid of the high threshold of other people's homes and falling on my heels!

Du Mingyan is a person who is used to seeing the wind and rudder, and when she saw that Du Mingzhu was going to follow, she hurriedly smiled and said: "I grew up with my sister Xin'er since I was a child, and she went out as a guest when she went out, and I should accompany her." ”

Du Min was still sulking for his son who had just eaten the eldest brother's row, and when he saw that the eldest lady wanted to stuff Du Mingzhu with him, he said mockingly: "People only said that they invited Sister Xin alone, right?" You are going to go this one, and you are going to that one, don't make it difficult for these two mothers. ”

The two mothers-in-law of the Wei Mansion were worried about themselves and didn't know how to refuse, and when they saw a step sent over, they hurriedly smiled and said, "This is not ours." When the eldest grandmother made a post, we didn't inquire about how many grandmothers and young ladies there were...... Next time, I will definitely complete the number of gifts! "Not this time.

Du Mingzhu glared at her mother angrily, she didn't want to go, but her mother was troubled, and she lost a lot of face in front of such people!

Seeing off the mother-in-law of the Wei Mansion, Mrs. Du instructed the eldest lady: "You make arrangements for Sister Xin in the past two days, and our family will come and go back to the Wei Mansion for the first time, and we must not lose our courtesy." ”

The eldest lady was annoyed that she was reckless, so she casually agreed.

On the day of the visit, Du Mingxin had breakfast and instructed: "I will take Chuncao, Qiulin and Grandma Cui today, and Xia Ye will take Dongzhi to watch the house." ”

Cui Mama said curiously: "I'm an old woman, join in this fun!" The girl still took Xia Ye with her, she is more stable than Qiulin, and I will keep it at home. ”

Du Mingxin said with a smile while changing his clothes: "How old are you, and you are starting to be lazy!" The post specifically told you to take you there. ”

"That's even more strange!" Mama Cui smiled, "Grandma Wei Guogong knows who I am?" Don't coax me, girl. ”

"There's a letter in the post." Du Mingxin smiled, "It was Mr. Jiang who wrote it, saying that he must take you there, and she has something to ask you!" ”

Although Mama Cui still felt puzzled, she didn't bother, quickly changed her clothes to go out, and followed Du Mingxin to the Wei Mansion by car.

The grandmother of the Wei State Mansion is the third daughter of Lord Ding, the political envoy of He Nanbu, who is said to have a very stubborn temper, and after being raised by Mr. Jiang for three years, she ascended to the sky in one step and got this marriage that everyone envies.

She waited for Du Mingxin at the second gate, and as soon as they met, she held her hand and smiled: "I always heard Mr. talk about my sister, and when I saw it today, I was really convinced!" ”

"I don't dare to get such praise from my grandmother." Du Mingxin smiled humbly.

"My girl's name is Ding Juan, how old are you, just call me Sister Sheng!" Ding Juan smiled.

"Yes, Sister Juan."

Ding Juan took her to meet the Duchess of Wei and the Prince, and the two of them were very polite and loving, and they both gave a lot of meeting gifts, obviously prepared.

Afterwards, Ding Juan took Du Mingxin to his own garden. After walking for a short time, I saw a small and unique courtyard, in which a nunnery was faintly visible.

"There are obviously spare rooms at home," Ding Juan complained, "but Mr. has to live in such a place, which is really gaffeless." ”

"I'm afraid that Mr. is used to being quiet and does not want to disturb people." Du Mingxin said with a smile.

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw Mr. Jiang setting up a tea stove under the eaves of the porch, and cooking tea by himself.

When she saw Du Mingxin coming in, she put down her fan and smiled: "Let me ask you, what happened to you recently?" ”
