Du Mingxin saw a woman of his age standing next to her, so he looked at Mr. Jiang inquiringly.

Ding Juan immediately smiled and said: "This is my sister-in-law, the second in the family, a tiger, I'm afraid she is one or two years older than you." ”

The woman smiled and saluted Du Mingxin and said, "Yuan Ying has seen the Du family's sister. ”

Du Mingxin saw that her eyebrows and eyes were warm and generous, but she was faintly sad, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart. After she saluted, Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "You go, I'll have another one here!" Over the years, the beautiful little girls around me have been one after another, and they are very beautiful! ”

Yuan Ying saw that the water in the red clay stove was boiling, so she took a silk hemp pad, took down a cup of tea from the fire, and said with a smile: "I am stupid, I can't compare to my sister-in-law and Sister Du......"

Mr. Jiang waved his hand, pointed at Ding Juan and Du Mingxin and said with a smile: "These two, one skin and the other quiet, are not as intimate as you." ”

said that Ding Wan pulled Du Ming's heart and was about to leave: "I thought that only such a cold-hearted man in this world could do the thing of 'seeing the newcomer laugh and not hearing the old man cry', but I didn't expect my husband to be like this!" ”

Mr. Jiang couldn't stop laughing, pointed to the brocade stool next to him, and said with a smile: "You sit down for me, I have something important to ask Mingxin." ”

Du Mingxin remembered the strange thing that Mr. Fang Caijiang asked, so he told him what happened in Du Mansion recently: "...... There is no reason why many things have been done well, especially the servants in the family also said that Mrs. Huining Bo Shizi used to go to the Du Mansion, and she was all with her nostrils facing the sky, and she had never put down her body like this to be good to anyone......"

"Then do you think it's a good family?" Mr. Jiang asked tentatively.

Du Mingxin shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not so arrogant, I'm the eldest daughter of a widow, and my father doesn't even have a background in the two rankings, what do people look down on me?" There must be demons when things go wrong, and I don't believe them if they don't have a plan behind them. ”

"Where do you say that you are so unbearable!" Ding Wan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Du Mingxin, and said with a smile, "But if you can have these achievements in your heart, you can also suffer less losses." ”

Mr. Jiang held the hot tea in his hand, looked at Du Mingxin, and said seriously: "Most of the generals who followed the emperor are from the northwest. Among them, there is a newly named Xingguo Gong, this person's surname is Shen, his name is Yao, and he is a native of Shaanxi and Hanzhongfu. ”

Du Ming looked at Mr. Jiang inexplicably, but found that she had turned her gaze to Mama Cui behind her.

"Does Mama feel familiar?" Mr. Jiang asked with a smile.

Mama Cui's old face was first surprised, then became ecstatic, and then asked cautiously, "How old is this grandfather?" But twenty-six or seven? ”

Mr. Jiang nodded with a smile and added: "It is said that the emperor once said that the prince of Xingguo was the descendant of the Shen family in Hanzhong back then. ”

Mama Cui stepped forward and pulled Du Mingxin, tears fell from her eyes, and she cried silently in an instant: "Girl, you have survived for so many years, and the hard days have finally come to an end......

Du Mingxin turned his head to look at Mr. Jiang and asked, "This Xingguo Gong is mine...... Uncle? ”

Mr. Jiang smiled: "Eight or nine out of ten." It's not just your name, age and place of origin, whether it's your aunt or aunt, they're all people who have lived in the capital for a long time. A month ago, the emperor was crowned a hero, and the affairs of these people were spread all over the streets and alleys, and the Tianqiao teahouse, plus they were in-laws, so they could naturally think about it early. ”

Uncle...... In her previous life, she hadn't even heard of her having an uncle. But what kind of person would he be? Can you become your own support as Mama Cui thinks?

"For now, you just have to wait with peace of mind. The Duke of Xingguo was sent by the emperor to Shaanxi to welcome the queen mother, the prince, and the princess into Beijing. If you don't want to do the two things in your family, let them make trouble. The west wind and the east wind always have to make trouble for a while before winning or losing. ”

Du Mingxin nodded, and then he was completely relieved. Her chest suddenly brightened, and her spirit was much more relaxed, and she couldn't help but ask King Jin: "...... I heard that he was born in Shaolin Temple, right? ”

Mr. Jiang glanced at her strangely, and immediately thought that Du Mingxin had lived in Songshan, so he smiled and said, "Could it be an old acquaintance?" ”

Du Mingxin shook his head with a smile and said, "I just often go to the temple to worship the Buddha, and I only know a few monks. ”

Ding Juan interjected with a smile: "The one who talks the most about stories in the teahouse is King Jin!" I heard that he is just twenty years old this year, he looks good, and he has a good martial arts, and he once saved the emperor's life! Only then was accepted by the emperor as a righteous son. I don't know if the guest monks in the Shaolin Temple can practice martial arts? ”

Du Ming smiled in his heart: "As far as I know, I don't practice." "But I was thinking in my heart, I am twenty years old this year, I am about a monk of the same generation, and there are many outstanding martial arts, and I don't know which one it is?

A few people were talking lively, and a curling figure walked into the small courtyard.

"This is the sister of the Du family, right?" The woman was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with her hair full of pearls and emerald ornaments, and walked straight towards Du Mingxin.

When I walked in, I found that she was similar to Yuan Ying, Du Ming knew it, got up and saluted with a smile, and said, "This is the younger sister of the Yuan family?" ”

The girl pinched her handkerchief and covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister is so smart! I have a single name and a single name, and I have three lines in my family. ”

As soon as she came in, the smile on Yuan Ying's face faded a little, and even Ding Wan, who was quick to talk, had less words, and Mr. Jiang had even fewer words in front of unfamiliar people.

Du Mingxin sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and was about to warn himself to be careful, when he heard Yuan Rong smile and said, "My sister has been talking here for a long time with Mr. Jiang, are you willing to go and sit with me?" Although I am not as elegant as Mr., I can still afford to be entertained with good tea and water. ”

Du Mingxin was reluctant to step into the inner courtyard of the Wei Mansion in such a confused way, and politely refused: "It's inconvenient for me to go out at home, so it's easy to come over today, I really have something to ask Mr. Jiang." It's better to visit my sister another day. ”

Yuan Rong frowned and said, "Sister really doesn't want to reward me with this face?" ”

Du Mingqiang smiled apologetically: "It's really a big thing to burn your eyebrows...... There are no elders in my family who call the shots, so I can only ask my husband to give me an idea. ”

Yuan Rong saw that she insisted on resigning, and no longer insisted, and said with a reluctant smile on her face: "That's really unfortunate." My sister promised to come and see me another day, but don't break my promise. ”

"It's nature."

After Yuan Rong left, Ding Juan hurriedly apologized to Du Mingxin: "I'm really sorry for my sister, so you can encounter such an embarrassing thing!" I thought I would come to Mr. to sit quietly, but I didn't expect her to come over! ”

"Who is she?" Du Mingxin asked suspiciously.

"It's my mother-in-law's biological daughter." Ding Juan glanced at Yuan Ying and said helplessly, "My father-in-law and second sister were both born to the first Mrs. Shizi. Later, her old man passed away, and her father-in-law remarried the current one, and gave birth to Yuan Rong and two younger brothers. ”
