"This sister is really ......," Mrs. Peng also said with some envy, "I haven't been silent since I was a child, but I didn't expect it to be the life of a phoenix." ”

The eldest lady nodded involuntarily and muttered, "Isn't it fate?" When he was pregnant, King Jin had been fighting outside, and he didn't even have time to make trouble. gave birth to a son in the first child, and was liked by the emperor like that, who would have thought that she would be so rich a few years ago! I'm afraid that when Shen was there, I didn't dare to think that her daughter could reach this point. ”

Mrs. Peng felt that the topic was a little crooked, so she pulled back: "Then why don't you find a time, let's go see Sister Xin and Brother Kun?" I think it's going to fall on her. ”

The eldest lady thought about it, and besides that, she had no other way, so she nodded in agreement. At the end, he added: "When the time comes, bring the five girls in the second room, she is very decent in front of Sister Xin'er." ”

Mrs. Peng frowned almost invisibly, wasn't the eldest lady ashamed when she said this? She is not as good as an elder and a concubine in the second room, you must know that Du Mingxin is now the biggest reliance of Du Mansion, doesn't she know that she is diligent and stammering?

That's it, after Brother Kang marries Du Mingzhu, his family and the Jin Wangfu will be able to get close, and he will train his daughter-in-law well.

After the two agreed, Mrs. Peng went home. When she reached the Hanging Flower Gate, her footsteps stopped, and after a moment of thought, she turned and went to Peng Kang's study.

Two days ago, Mr. gave Peng Kang a debut topic, he spent two days writing carefully, and today he just handed it over to Mr. for review, and he is practicing calligraphy in the study at this time.

Seeing his mother come in, Peng Kang hurriedly put the pen on the pen holder and stepped forward to say goodbye.

Mrs. Peng looked at her son carefully, feeling a little remorseful. If he could have been less entangled with Du Fu on the dowry, would the prosperous Du Mingxin fall to his own family?

In the past, she looked at Du Mingzhu well, and it was not that she had no idea of hiring her as her daughter-in-law. But after looking at the things of the past two years, this girl is actually useless.

It's a pity that the Great Zhou Dynasty of the Ningbo Mansion has died, and the family is just surviving with a little favor from the emperor of the new dynasty.

"What does a mother do with her son?" Peng Kang saw that his mother's eyes were a little stunned, so he helped her sit on the circle chair next to her, "You just came back from outside?" ”

"Your father and I have set up a family affair for you, and we will marry you back after the New Year." Mrs. Peng said with a smile.

When Peng Kang heard this, his heart tightened, and he instantly remembered Du Mingxin who he met last time in the back garden of Du Mansion. He smiled curtly: "Didn't you say that you would wait until I finished the spring exam before kissing?" Why are you suddenly anxious again? ”

"I used to be afraid that blind marriage and dumb marriage would trap you, but now the one I am talking about is something you know, and you are probably happy in your heart." Mrs. Peng smiled, "When your daughter-in-law marries home, I can also have more helpers, so it will be easier." ”

"Aren't there still sisters-in-law and second sisters-in-law at home? I just want to concentrate on studying now, and I don't want to marry these things......" Peng Kang found that he was not interested in the choice of a wife at all, and his heart was full of sourness. If you can work hard at that time, why is it that she is now at the point of "not hearing each other at this time"?

"You kid, aren't you confused in reading!" Mrs. Peng smiled, "Don't ask who it is?" ”

Peng Kang smiled reluctantly: "Please also ask my mother to speak clearly." ”

"It's your cousin Mingzhu, what do you think?" Mrs. Peng asked, staring closely into her son's eyes.

At this time, Peng Kang couldn't continue to be indifferent, he asked in shock, "Why did you decide on Cousin Mingzhu?" She's not ......."

After saying that, Peng Kang remembered that Du Mingzhu was still in the boudoir. Because Du Mingzhu and Li Ling's marriage was set early, he knew that this cousin had already been married since he was twelve or thirteen years old, and this impression is still in his mind.

"I've treated my cousin as a sister since I was a child, and I've never thought about it." Peng Kang's tone was a little rejected. "You tell me kiss, I don't object, just don't be Cousin Mingzhu, okay?"

If he marries Du Mingzhu, the Du family will become his father-in-law, and Du Mingxin will be his aunt...... It is inevitable to see each other during the New Year's holidays, looking at her and the dragon and phoenix King of Jin Yan Yan among the people, Peng Kang felt that he didn't want to bear such pain.

Seeing her son's obvious refusal, Mrs. Peng guessed a few reasons after thinking about it. Her mouth suddenly felt as if she had just chewed a handful of coptis, and it was extremely bitter. But now that it's come to this, what can she do? Thinking that his son would become an official in the future, he would have to think about the help of his in-laws and the power of the lintel, so he ruthlessly said the difficulties in the family.

“…… I also wanted to choose a daughter-in-law for you, even if the family is not high, as long as De Rong's speech skills are good, I will be the daughter-in-law of our uncle's house. can see that this Great Zhou World has been replaced by Dayan, and the people in the capital are all nouveau riche. Like us, they all have to be people with their tails between their legs, for fear of offending anyone! ”

"Just like the Zhuangzi incident this time, if it was before, our family would always be able to find a few people to talk to. But now, is Sun Ke, the eldest prince of Anguo, willing to look at us right now? ”

Peng Kang pursed his lips and said nothing. He is not a person who is dead and unable to read and practice, he knows that his family has lost some prosperity in the past two years, and he also knows the embarrassing situation of his family in the old days.

Among their families, only the Duke of Wei is doing well. But their family was one of the best in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and since they were happy and convinced, Chen Yuantai was of course willing to be a benevolent monarch who bought his bones.

And this kind of inconspicuous family in Huiningbo Mansion is just two drops of rain and dew Jun'en falling slightly, if you want to have more, then there is no more.

Mrs. Peng saw that her son seemed to have figured it out, and the big stone in her heart fell, and Wen Yan continued to persuade: "Besides, Mingzhu may not be bad. In the past two years, her marriage has not been smooth, but it is just bad luck. Seeing that she is almost twenty years old, your aunt can't beg to come to our house, if she refuses from you, will it be possible that your grandfather and grandmother are so old that they can't sleep day and night for their granddaughter's marriage? ”

Peng Kang was silent, it seemed reasonable that he should marry Du Mingzhu. But what about the heart?

He was a kind, soft-hearted person after all, and he also understood that his obsession had no meaning, so he nodded lightly: "Well, I know." Everything bothers my mother, I, I have no objection. ”

Mrs. Peng breathed a sigh of relief, instructed her son a few more words, and went back to the inner courtyard to discuss with her mother-in-law.
