Before Mrs. Du could speak, Du Min took the lead and smiled: "It's a coincidence!" Our family Ah Huan came here today for this purpose. There was nothing to do in the moon, and he was asked to come over and get close to his cousins. ”

Then, she sat down next to her mother again, hugged Mrs. Du and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I will also take this opportunity to stay at home for a few days, and be filial to my mother!" ”

Mrs. Du knocked the hookah pot on the table, and said slowly: "You live here, what should my uncle do?" ”

"It's almost the end of the year, and the yamen is busy. He's busier in the Shuntian Mansion," Du Min said with a smile, "He already left early and returned late." Besides, can there be less people in the family to serve him? ”

Mrs. Peng smiled: "I really envy Mrs. Gu!" It's almost the New Year, and the grandmothers and wives who are in charge of the feeding are so busy that their feet don't touch the ground, but you can still live back to your parents' house for a few comfortable days! ”

Du Min was very disappreciative in his heart, didn't you send your son here to calculate Du Mingxin? If you could move in, I'm afraid I'll say it sooner!

She picked up the teacup, dialed the tea leaves, and was about to speak, when Mrs. Du spoke: "Since you say that you are serving me, you will live with me." Ah Huan and Young Master Peng are old, and they both live in the guest rooms in the outer courtyard, so I asked someone to clean them up and add two more people to serve them. The in-laws' wife can rest assured. ”

Mrs. Peng smiled: "Then it will disturb the house." When the New Year comes, I will come back to thank the old lady again. ”

After lunch, Mrs. Peng said goodbye and went back. The eldest lady was about to send the two children to the outer courtyard, but Mrs. Du said, "It's not the first time I've come, just ask someone to send them over." You stay, I have something to ask you. ”

The eldest lady glanced at Du Min, who turned around and went to the inner banquet room, and secretly paid attention.

"What's going on with these two sending children to our house?" Old Mrs. Du stared at the eldest lady and asked.

"Why did Mrs. Gu and Ah Huan come, my daughter-in-law doesn't know. Brother Kang is coming over, and that was said a few days ago. Thinking about the New Year, the emperor was afraid that he was going to open Enke, so he came over to study with Brother Kai, and the two of them could take a step further......"

Mrs. Du glanced at her and said coldly, "I told you well, but I didn't tell me!" ”

The eldest lady heard that her tone was wrong, and hurriedly knelt down, but she didn't know where the old lady Du's anger came from.

"You look at me as old and think I'm getting old, and I don't talk about anything at home!" Mrs. Du knocked the table with a hookah, "You didn't have much friendship with the Shen family back then, and you were indifferent to the second family, why did they come back this time, but you put down the elders' shelves and rushed to tie up your sister?" You also called your nephew over, what is your idea? ”

The eldest lady knew that Du Min must be eavesdropping next door, so she used nonsense to prevaricate: "Mother, these two things have nothing to do with each other!" I originally felt sorry for my sister's mother at a young age, and when I was in Kaifeng Mansion, I heard that Aunt Liu didn't treat her very well, so I thought about hurting her more...... As for Brother Kang, he really came to study and discuss knowledge with Brother Kai......"

"Do you dare to say that your mother's family doesn't have the idea of marrying your sister and going home?"

"This ......" The eldest lady is in a dilemma, saying yes, then the words ahead will be in vain. Say no, what if the old lady comes out to block people with this in the future?

"Sister Xin'er looks good and has a good personality, you also saw it today, my sister-in-law really likes it...... If I want to say that I will not marry in the future, I don't dare to play this package ticket, after all, I am just Kang Ge'er's aunt, and I can't do his marriage. ”

After asking for a long time, it was only these high-sounding words that came out. Mrs. Du waved her hand impatiently and told the eldest lady to get up: "I'm tired, I want to take a nap, you can go back." ”

The eldest lady then got up and took leave.

As soon as she went out, Du Min came over and helped Mrs. Du into the inner room.

"After listening to it for a long time, what are your ideas?" Mrs. Du asked.

Du Min smiled wryly: "Mother is in charge of this matter." Your son-in-law is in his thirties, and he still works in Zhengliupin, living in the capital, spending a lot of money, and his family is not wealthy......"

"Although there is no one in Sister Xin's family, she and the royal family are both families in the northwest, and the two families also had a lot of contacts back then. I thought, maybe one day the emperor and the queen mother remember this little incense, what can they reward...... Moreover, there were many Zhuangzi shops left by the Shen family back then, and in the future, when Sister Xin marries in the past, she can also subsidize the family's ......"

"Less face and no skin! Before your daughter-in-law enters the door, you start calculating the dowry! Mrs. Du scolded in a low voice, "Your second brother has been taking the imperial examination all his life, and he is still just a lifter, if you calculate this little thing, let him drink the northwest wind when he is old?" ”

Du Min was anxious, took his mother's hand and said, "Mother, the palms and backs of these hands are full of meat, you can't just think about your son, don't think about me!" Look at my clothes, or the material you gave me last year, I don't wear them at home, but only when I go out. You have to count which one you have already passed through and which one you haven't passed through, otherwise people will see too many of them, and you will have to laugh at them......"

As she spoke, she began to whimper and cry.

"That's it!" Mrs. Du said, "It's okay for you to fool your uncle with this little bit of drama, it's useless in front of me!" Your sister-in-law didn't say it explicitly just now, but I can also see that it is also Sister Xin'er's idea to fight in the Ningbo Mansion. Your eldest brother must have agreed, and the second brother has always listened to the boss...... You might as well go directly to Sister Xin'er to do kung fu and ask Ah Huan to go! ”

Du Min raised his teary eyes and said happily, "Mother, do you agree?" ”

Mrs. Du took away the pillow, closed her eyes and lay on the bed, and said quietly: "Marrying into your family, I don't worry about what waves she can make...... But you can only take half of the dowry! The other half has to stay in the Du family! ”

After taking a nap, Du Mingxin was sitting on the bed in a daze, thinking that Mr. Jiang didn't know which old home he had gone to, if she didn't send a letter over, how could he send someone to inquire?

Just thinking about it, Chuncao came in with a smile and said, "Girl, the third girl has come to talk to you." ”

Du Mingxin hurriedly asked her to clean her face, and after cleaning up, she went to the banquet room.

Du Mingshu was very demure at a young age, and she was obediently sitting on the edge of the big kang near the window to do needlework.

"Ran to me to hide from Qingjing?" Du Mingxin said with a smile.

"Second sister is really smart!" Du Mingshu put down the needle and thread and said with a smile, "It's too noisy in that yard, and the eldest sister didn't live at noon, beating and scolding the girl, throwing tea and throwing bowls." It was easy for her to stop a bit, and I hurried over. ”
