"This, this ......," said the eldest lord worriedly, "then we should return all the things sent by the Bofu." ”

The eldest lady's heart seemed to have been stripped of a piece of flesh, and it was bleeding from pain. If the Queen Mother hadn't pointed out Du Mingxin to Peng Kang, then she would have to smash the pot and sell iron to make up for the Shen family's dowry! This damn Liu!

Mrs. Peng glanced at the eldest lady coldly, and said to the eldest master: "I hope you will be the talker!" ”

After sending Mrs. Peng away, the eldest lady angrily went to the back room of Mrs. Du's yard and kicked Aunt Liu who was squatting to wash clothes.

"! Where did you get all the Shen dowry? The eldest lady scolded hatefully.

Aunt Liu was kicked by her coldly, her body was crooked, and the clothes she was washing in her hand were dragged to the ground. She wiped the water splashed on her face and carefully dusted off the dust from her wet clothes.

"All the jewelry went to Mrs. Gu's, and the ones I collected from my house can be filled back with what I took that day." Aunt Liu said calmly, "As for those two Zhuangzi, you should ask the second master." In Kaifeng that day, there were more than a dozen girls in the house when there were many of them, all of whom did not do needlework and female red, but only knew how to wear gold and silver. Over the years, you should always know what it costs to buy a beautiful girl outside. ”

The eldest lady said angrily: "What about the income of the shop and the Zhuangzi over the years? To say the least, there must be fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver! ”

"Madam, don't all those people in the family eat or drink?" Aunt Liu replied in her mouth, and the work in her hand did not stop.

The eldest lady was very angry, and she was so blocked that she couldn't speak, so she threatened viciously: "I don't care about your reasoning like this, I'll give you two days, and if you don't give me the money clearly, I'll go to a rich man's stupid son to marry Sister Yan and give her a dowry!" ”

Aunt Liu's expression finally had a hint of emotion. She looked at the eldest lady and said with a smile: "Sister Zhu'er is going to get married in the second half of the year, and it is just right for the two shops in the capital to give her a dowry." ”

"Hmph," the eldest lady sneered, "Sister Yan'er's family background and appearance, if she really doesn't pick someone or uncle, she will sell more than two shops!" I returned the shop to my sister, and I lost the money to make up for it! If Sister Yan is sold again, won't Sister Zhu'er's dowry money be there? ”

Looking at the anxious look on Aunt Liu's face, the eldest lady finally felt a little happier. "Think about it for me!" She put the words aside and led the people out of the backyard.

Early the next morning, Du Mingxin changed his clothes and went out to accompany Mrs. Du for breakfast. This is Mrs. Du's new rules, Xu feels that the girls in the family are getting older, and they can't stay at home for a few years, she wants to use this way to teach them to have more admiration for her.

After dinner, a group of people gathered around Mrs. Du to drink tea.

Du Mingyan looked at Du Mingxin wearing a newly-cut Yunjin short shirt and the corresponding knee-length horse face skirt, and asked in a weird manner: "I don't know who went to Nanyuan today?" My sister's outfit looks like she's going to the ring with someone! There are all royal relatives and nobles, and they are carefully joked that they are dirt buns from the countryside, and everything good is piled up on their bodies! ”

Du Mingzhu felt that what Du Mingyan said was not so unpleasant, and she also laughed and said: "Sister Xin should really learn to dress, otherwise such a good material will be wasted, what a pity." ”

Du Mingxin slowly blew the tea leaves in the teacup, and said with a smile: "Thank you two sisters for reminding me." A few days ago, my uncle sent a lot of materials for Yunjin and Shu brocade, and I asked someone to cut several clothes out. It's a shame that I haven't had time to send it to you, otherwise it would be a joke. ”

She turned to Du Mingshu who was silent and smiled: "Your two sisters both dislike my rustic clothes, good sister, I know you don't dislike my things, I'll ask someone to send you all those materials later!" ”

Du Mingshu looked at the sisters carefully, and laughed in a low voice: "The second sister has already given me a lot, and if I want to send it again, I'm afraid I won't be able to let it go!" ”

"It's better to not let it go than to spoil it!" Du Mingxin smiled.

Mrs. Du listened to their sisters arguing openly and secretly, and never said a word. In her opinion, whether it is the west wind or the east wind in this family, it is always in her best interest that both sides are evenly matched. Seeing that Du Mingxin now has an uncle who has strong support, she should favor Du Mingzhu more.

Mrs. Du was about to speak, but someone outside came to communicate: "The third lady of Dingguo Gong is here to pick up the second miss of our family to go to Nanyuan." The third lady said that there were no elders in the family today, and she was a junior who was not good enough to come and visit herself, so she ......"

Mrs. Du snorted coldly: "Who are the people, who are we?" ”

After a cup of tea, Du Mingxin walked outside the door of Du's mansion and saw a black and flat-headed carriage parked there quietly.

"Sister Du," a porcelain doll-like face suddenly popped out of the window of the carriage, "Would you like to sit with me?" ”

Du Mingxin smiled and said hello, and ordered Chuncao and Xia Ye to take the carriage prepared by their home.

When he got in the car, Du Mingxin found that Xu Yuan had poured all the tea for himself.

"Sister Du, it's okay for you to call me Ayuan." She smiled and handed the tea to Du Mingxin, and said with a smile, "Today, the princess and Sister Deng said that they want to ride a horse, can you?" ”

Du Mingxin shook his head and said with a smile: "I haven't studied it." ”

"Don't worry!" Xu Yuan smiled, "I'll teach you!" If you don't want to learn, we can also go to Nanyuan Lake for ice fishing, I heard that it is interesting! ”

Du Mingxin smiled and nodded at her. Xu Yuan's skin is very fair, her two round eyes are two points bigger than Du Mingxin's, and her small face is white and red, revealing a healthy luster.

"It's a pity that Xingguo Gong didn't come today," Xu Yuan said regretfully, "Otherwise, we would still be able to call him for ice fishing." ”

Du Mingxin looked at her wrinkled little face, and couldn't help but smile: "Are you very familiar with my uncle?" ”

"Of course!" Xu Yuan smiled, "He's been in my house since he was a teenager!" In the past few years, he has gone out to fight with the emperor and my father, and he has seen less. It's easy to get to the capital, and the emperor has opened a mansion for Brother A Yao again, and we see even less......"

It turned out that my uncle was not alone all these years, and he was accompanied by the Xu family. Du Mingxin felt a lot better, and became a little closer to Xu Yuan.

While speaking, the carriage went to Nanyuan. There was a grandmother standing at the door with two palace maids waiting for the two.

"The princess and the eldest lady of the Anguo Mansion have already arrived, so let's go in with the slaves."

There are mountains and rivers in the South Garden, there are horse farms and martial arts fields, and there are many pavilions and pavilions, it is the royal garden that Emperor Changqing went to most often before building Changchun Garden.

"You two came early!" Deng Wenjiao saw Xu and Du coming, so she smiled and said, "I just heard the movement, I thought it was Cheng Anhou and King Jin coming." ”

King Jin is coming today? Du Mingxin's heart fluttered. I don't know which monk of Shaolin Temple became the king of Jin?
