Chapter 024: Qinqing
Jinzhou is a border fortress town, and the commander of the Weibei Army stationed here is Xu Qingyu, the current head of the Xu family.
Xu Qingyu was born in a reckless manner, without a father or a mother, an orphan, and has fought all the way from the bottom of the big head soldiers to the present. Of course, this is also indispensable for the help of his father-in-law's family - Cheng Guogong, the old commander of the Weibei Army and now Zhishi, was extremely optimistic about him when Xu Qing was young, and married his only daughter Cheng Ling to him.
This Cheng Ling is now Mrs. Xu. Xu Qingyu was grateful for the kindness of Cheng Lao Guogong, and he also met Cheng when he was young, and he was called a childhood sweetheart, and he never accepted a concubine for most of his life, even if he was a good performer after the war, he took over the Weibei Army and became a national prince, and his feelings for Cheng have always been the same.
The two have three sons, Yu Sheng, Chu Sheng, Lan Sheng, and a younger daughter, Shu Yuan. The little girl Shuyuan was lost in a rebellion, which became a heart problem for the Xu family.
Xu Yusheng, the son of the Xu family, should have inherited his father's business, but he didn't like swords, swords, and shadows, and only liked dancing and writing; The second son, Xu Chusheng, doesn't like to dance and write, but in the same way, although he jumps up and down, he has no interest and talent in marching and fighting.
It's just that Xu Lansheng, whose name is most like a little lady, fell in love with the battlefield in the sky, and now he has been fighting with General Xu for several years before he is at the age of a weak crown.
Of the three sons, only Xu Yusheng is married. Xu Yusheng is the eldest son, and it stands to reason that the eldest daughter-in-law should also be a well-connected lady, and it is best to be the eldest daughter who can be in charge of the family director. But one day at the flower viewing banquet, it was a coincidence that Xu Yusheng looked at the second daughter of a concubine in Anpingbo's mansion, and when he came back, he knelt down and begged his father and mother to let him marry this girl.
This Xu Qingyu and Cheng Ling's marriage is the product of love, and Xu Yusheng is also the daughter of a good family, although Anpingbo's Mansion is not as good as before, and the daughter of the concubine branch can't be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xuguo Mansion. But what can be done, the son fell in love with his father and didn't plan to beat the mandarin duck, so he could only go to the door with a gift to ask for a kiss.
The girl Xu Yusheng wants to marry, her father is the concubine of An Pingbo's half-brother, which can be said to be the concubine of the concubine. But this girl is from his wife, although her father is a young official, he is an upright official, and it was Xu Qingyu who nodded.
After Du's marriage to the Xu family, he and Xu Yusheng Qin Se and Ming, only three years after entering the door, there was already a two-year-old fat boy under his knees. Du's married well, and her mother's family is very willing to move around with her. In her father's room, there is a girl who is close to her and ranked seventh, called Du Jingqing, who has lived in the Xu family for more than a year due to changes in the family.
Mrs. Xu was willing, and she was close to her, and this time she was in line with her eyes, so she had already released her words to let her marry in Xu's mansion.
This Du Jingqing is indeed a wonderful person, although his identity is embarrassing, but he is not like a fish in water in Xu Mansion, but he also likes many people. On weekdays, she is also well-behaved, knowing that she is under the fence, except for going to Mrs. Xu and Du's yard, she only stays in her own corner of the courtyard.
At this time, Du Jingqing was going to the bamboo garden, and happened to meet Mrs. Xu, so she came over affectionately.
Mrs. Xu saw that Du Jingqing was wearing green clothes and looked like a little cabbage, so she couldn't help but joke: "Yo, where is this little cabbage, why did you come in front of me?" ”
When Du Jingqing heard this, he also turned around and said, "Where do you still need to ask?" Of course I'm the little cabbage in the old lady's yard. ”
Mrs. Xu laughed twice, couldn't help but feel better, patted Du Jingqing's arm twice and said, "Okay, okay, little cabbage, you go back first, I'm busy here, I can't take care of you." ”
Du Jingqing was not depressed, took Mrs. Xu's hand and said, "I originally came to ask for peace, and I was satisfied when I saw the old lady." Qin Jing doesn't bother you, this is a step back first. ”
After that, Du Jingqing was generously blessed and retreated.
When she entered her small courtyard, the maid Shuang'er behind Du Jingqing said in a low voice: "Miss, I don't look very good at Mrs. Xu today." ”
Du Jingqing understood: "How can it be good, the daughter who has been lost for many years is finally recovered, and she fainted." ”
He hurriedly instructed Shuang'er again: "Don't go to the fourth lady over there in the main courtyard these days, and let me let you go when you meet the maid over there, don't touch the mold." ”
Shuang'er's heart was sour, and the eldest lady who came out could only look at people under the eaves of others now, and said, "Yes, Miss." ”
The Qingmei Courtyard where Du Jingqing lives is in the north of Xufu, the environment is not good, and it is far away from the kitchen.
As soon as Du Jingqing entered the courtyard here, the maid Yue'er inside greeted her and said, "I've seen Miss." ”
Du Jingqing frowned and said, "In a hurry, what can't you go in and say?" ”
Yue'er hurriedly confessed, and said: "Miss, it's not that the slave maid wants to stir up trouble, it's just that the mother-in-law in this kitchen is really too deceitful, and she doesn't give anything to the order, and it's already cold when lunch is delivered today." ”
Du Jingqing didn't raise his eyelids, only put his hand on Shuang'er's hand, and said calmly: "Okay, if you don't have it, you won't have it, don't argue." I wanted to be quiet at the beginning, so I asked Mrs. Xu for this courtyard, could it be that you want me to go to Mrs. Xu to swallow my words back? ”
Shuang'er helped Du Jingjing to go back to the room, and neither of them looked at Yue'er
Seeing this, Yue'er stomped her feet for a while in anger.
Shuang'er was about to leave the hospital again after a while, and Yue'er hurriedly chased after her and asked, "Shuang'er, what are you going out for?" ”
Shuang'er was already angry at this time, and when she heard that this Yue'er was still so unrelentingly entangled here, she immediately sneered at each other: "What am I doing when I go out?" Of course, I went out to get Miss's lunch. Some people don't do any superficial work now, knowing that the yard is far away, they don't pick up the hot ones to send them here, and they try to pick some cold ones. ”
Yue'er was willing to show weakness, and replied: "I'm for the good of Miss, and I pick all the good dishes and good meals, so I don't have to slander me here without doing anything!" ”
Du Jingqing listened upset in the room, and shouted in a low voice: "Okay! ”
Shuang'er glanced at Yue'er and turned away.
Yue'er was fearless, snorted coldly, and left.
The reason why Du Jingqing came to Xu Mansion was because her own mother died, and her father's marriage to Xu Xian tossed her in every way, and she used some means to stay in Xu Mansion, and she also won the love of Mrs. Xu.
Du Jingqing is a smart person, he is very measured at all times, and he doesn't take advantage of Mrs. Xu's little liking to do anything. She knew very well that it was useless to rely on her shallow friendship with Du's and the current Mrs. Xu in the past, and if she wanted to live well, and even if she wanted to marry a good family in the future, she had to maintain Mrs. Xu's liking.
She also knows very well that a large part of Mrs. Xu's good impression of herself also comes from the sustenance of her lost little daughter back then.
Now that Xu Shuyuan is back, Du Jingjing thought, it seems that it is necessary for her to get along with this young lady.
