"When did you have a part in speaking? Are you not convinced? It's useless if you don't accept it! The eldest lady was very angry with these people from the second master's family, but she couldn't do anything to Du Ming, so she had to vent her anger on Du Mingyan.

"You, you old pious woman, I'll fight with you!" Seeing that her father was silent, Du Mingyan became more and more flustered, and with a spicy temperament, she bumped into the eldest lady.

The juniors and subordinates in the house hurriedly stopped and protected them, and they made a person turn on their backs.

Mrs. Du took the hookah pot and knocked it on the coffee table a few times, and scolded: "I'm not dead yet!" What howl? What's the fuss? ”

The eldest lady was so angry that her face turned pale, and she pointed at Du Mingyan and scolded: "Mother, look at it, this is the girl raised by that little woman!" I don't know that the young lady of the official eunuch family in the world knows what kind of pious woman or something! While your sister-in-law and sisters are here, do you want to tell us what a 'pious woman' is? ”

"That's it!" The eldest lord couldn't listen to it anymore, so he shouted loudly and said to the Lu family, "Go and take the girls out!" ”

Lu hurriedly responded, beckoning the Du Mingzhu sisters to follow.

As soon as a group of people came out of the door, they heard the eldest lady inside say: "Second brother, tell you clearly, if you agree to ask Du Mingyan to marry Li Ling Chongxi in Shangshu Mansion, I will be responsible for finding the Shen family's jewelry that my sister-in-law wants to come back and she took away, and the rest will be made up by my sister-in-law!" ”

Du Mingyan's face turned pale, and she hesitated for a few moments, but she never heard her father's answer.

"Big sister, do you want to marry Shangshufu?" Du Mingxin looked back at her a few times, but he couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward and asked.

Du Mingyan raised her head and said coldly: "Don't think that if you become a princess, you can give me charity so condescendingly, I'm not rare!" ”

She glanced at Du Mingshu, who was following behind Du Mingxin, and said mockingly: "Your mother sent Sister Shu'er's aunt to seduce my father in order to compete for favor with my aunt, don't think I don't know about this!" One or two are pretending to be high and merciful here, but they don't know who is cheaper than whom! ”

"No, it's not like that!" Du Mingshu said excitedly, "You are talking nonsense! ”

"I'm not talking nonsense, you go back and ask your aunt! Look at her face! Du Mingyan glared at the two of them, flicked her sleeves and was about to leave.

Du Mingxin said behind her: "Big sister, the Buddha doesn't save people, only people live by themselves." Think it out for yourself. ”

"Hmph," Du Mingyan sneered, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" You're afraid that I'll marry into Shangshufu, and you can't just humiliate me in the future, right? ”

Du Mingxin knew that it was useless for her to say anything, she and Du Mingyan were sandwiched between the grudges of the elders, and I was afraid that she would not be able to be ordinary sisters in this life.

She turned around and took Du Mingshu's hand and walked away. Life is difficult, who can manage so much? Just look at the people in front of you.

At this time, the Cining Palace was also full of dark clouds, the Queen Mother leaned on the big pillow with a gloomy face, and Concubine De squatted on the footrest and gently beat her legs with a beauty.

After a while, the Queen Mother asked aloud: "How was the holy decree written in the end?" ”

A small eunuch standing next to him was nervous and replied: "Back to the words of the Queen Mother, there is no sentence written on it, 'In the words of the Queen Mother'......"

"Hmph......" The Queen Mother finally felt a little more relieved.

Concubine De smiled softly: "Queen Mother, the emperor cares about you!" How dare you disobey you! ”

"Why wouldn't he dare?" The Queen Mother said indignantly, "I said that I would not let Chen Xi marry a woman from the meritorious family, and my decree was sent out of the inner palace, and he could still send someone to chase it back!" That is the will to give Du Mingxin a marriage, and it is not for Chen Xi, and it is worth the emperor's great effort? ”

"Isn't that the King of Jin in love with Miss Du......" Concubine De's words sounded like she was helping Chen Yuantai explain, but it added fuel to the anger of the Queen Mother.

"So what! Who is not the order of the parents to marry? As far as he Chen Xi is special, he not only wants to marry the girl of the hero's family, but also marry the one he likes! ”

Concubine De hurriedly took a bowl of tea and handed it to the Queen Mother, and carefully persuaded: "The first bubble here is a Hangzhou fetal chrysanthemum, you can taste it and extinguish the fire." You are an ancestor, where can you be angry with a junior? ”

"I'm not angry with others, I'm the emperor!" The Queen Mother pushed the tea and said in a self-reliant voice, "I said that I promised Huiningbo Mansion and promised Du Mingxin to be his granddaughter-in-law, but the emperor refused!" For Chen Xi, save my face! ”

Concubine De's eyes rolled, and she asked casually as if nothing had happened: "This thing is indeed strange, when it comes to the King of Jin, the emperor always favors him, and I don't know what's going on?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at her and didn't answer the words: "It's not in vain Chen Xi, I forced the emperor to agree to Xu Yuan to Zhao'er." When Xu Yuan and Lu get married, you tell Zhao'er to wait patiently for two more years. ”

Concubine De was immediately overjoyed, and knelt down and kowtowed to thank her. "Queen Mother, I must let him remember the heart of King Yu if you love him, so that he can always remember his grandmother's affection for him!"

The Queen Mother waved her hand and called her up, saying: "Zhao'er grew up beside me since he was a child, I don't take care of him, who else remembers him?" ”

Speaking of this, Concubine De's face was difficult again: "I heard that Kunning Palace also has the idea of beating Miss Xu, if the emperor promises Miss Xu to King Yu, how can it be good if he is not happy over there?" ”

"She's fine!" The Queen Mother said disdainfully, "King Yu, you two should be careful these days." She will definitely not talk about this on the surface, but she is afraid of using the topic to play. ”

"She originally had a good wishful thinking, asking Deng Hong to marry Xu Yuan, and asking that fierce girl to marry Chen Xi, she wanted to be beautiful! If it is really as she wants, I am afraid that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not follow her surname Deng! Co-authored the emperor was born and died all these years, all of them worked for her mother's family? ”

When Concubine De saw the Queen Mother say this about the queen, she was overjoyed in her heart, and became more and more careless to flatter the Queen Mother.

In the middle of the night, Du Ming was about to fall asleep in a daze with Tang Pozi in his arms, but suddenly heard a "click" from the window.

Before she could stare at her, a tall figure had already sat on the edge of her bed. "Are you asleep?" Chen Xi's gentle voice came.

Du Mingxin glared at him and said, "Why do you act like a thief every time?" ”

"I also want to walk through the main gate to your house openly, I'm afraid of being beaten out by Lord Yue!" Chen Xi stretched out his hand and tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and said with a smile.

"Why are your hands so cold!" Chen Xi's hand touched Du Mingxin's cheek, and she couldn't help but sigh.

"And you're going to warm me up?"

Du Mingxin glared at him, and seeing that Chen Xi was just looking at himself and laughing, he couldn't help but laugh: "Are you stupid?" A small hand came out of the quilt and held Chen Xi's big hand.
