Chapter 31: Marriage Contract, First Meeting of Big Brother

Buddha Incense Pavilion.

Mrs. Du sat on the warm couch and twisted the Buddha beads in her hand, and Mother Fang came over lightly to change the cold tea.

"What's going on over there in Jufu Pavilion?" The old lady closed her eyes, but her voice showed shrewdness, Du Mansion was so big, when her husband died, she relied on her own strength to support the cloth business of Du Mansion.

"Back to the old lady." Fang's mother lowered her voice and said, "The eldest lady is quite quiet over there, and I haven't seen any movement." ”

The old lady didn't raise her head and didn't open her eyes.

"But ......," Fang's mother hesitated.

The old lady's eyes opened suddenly, "Go on." ”

"But the second lady went to the Jufu Pavilion, and I heard that she also reprimanded the maid over there, and later helped the eldest lady pick out some ...... to wear at tomorrow's banquet."

Fang's mother explained the matter in detail, and the old lady's face sank like water, "The second girl has always been a delicate girl, but it's a pity that she can't understand my hard work." ”

Du Mansion and the Han family of Taishou Mansion have long had a marriage contract, and if Du Wei hadn't disappeared, he would have married Han Qingshan, the eldest young master of Taishou Mansion, a long time ago.

Later, Du Fu couldn't, so he had to push the second lady Du Xue'e out, just waiting for her to marry next year, but now Du Wei suddenly came back, seeing that this marriage was about to change again, how could the old lady not worry.

Many places in the business of Du Mansion still rely on the help of Taishou Mansion.

The old lady sat on pins and needles all night, but Du Wei was happy to be relaxed, and after dinner, the eldest lady came to talk to her in person, and finally waited for the person to be sent away, Canglan timidly leaned over and whispered: "Miss, I'm so afraid." ”

Du Wei pulled her over and gently patted her back with her hand, "Now you know why I don't let you be a slave?" As long as you become a slave, your life is equivalent to being held in the hands of others, they tell you to live, you live, they let you die, you have to die! ”

Canglan pursed her mouth, "Miss, aren't you afraid?" People here are inconsistent. ”

"What did you hear?" Du Wei was surprised.

Canglan told me about overhearing the second lady talking to the maid today.

"Taishoufu? Engagement? Du Wei felt a little nerve-wracking, but she didn't expect that she had just had a new identity, but she still couldn't escape the heavy shackles that ancient women carried.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of small footsteps outside the courtyard.

"There's a man out there......" Canglan said suddenly.

Du Wei looked at her in surprise, "How do you know?" ”

"Listen to the footsteps." Canglan smiled shyly, "My father also taught me kung fu at the beginning, although I am not as good as my eldest brother." ”

Du Wei didn't expect that the inconspicuous freesia in front of her could actually do martial arts, which really made her pick up a treasure.

At this moment, the maid outside the house came to report: "The eldest young master has arrived." ”

Du Wei hurriedly got up and tidied up her clothes.

The eldest lady had mentioned to her before that she had three older brothers in Du Mansion.

The eldest young master and the second young master were both born to the eldest lady.

The eldest young master, Du Yifan, learned to do business with Master Du early, walked the rivers and lakes, and had the demeanor of everyone in everything he did, and it is said that he was closest to him when he was young.

The second young master, Du Zixi, was sent to the academy to study, and last year he won the show, and the old lady hoped that he would be able to make a name for himself in the officialdom in the future, so as to change the fate of a businessman in the Du Mansion.

And the third young master, Du Zhenghong, was born by the third aunt Ning Zhu'er, with mediocre qualifications since childhood, and he has been an apprentice in the cloth village for two years but still can't take charge of himself, and the old lady has obviously lost expectations for him.

This will suddenly, the arrival of the eldest young master makes her feel a little uncertain.

She took the freesia out to greet her, and Du Yifan was standing under the ancient tree outside the door, holding a beautiful wooden box in one hand and carrying it behind him with the other, showing his body in the night.

Outside for some reason, there was broken snow, Du Wei lifted the hem of her skirt and walked over, bowing down.

"I've seen Big Brother." The ring on the coat chirped slightly, crisp and pleasant.

Du Yifan didn't speak for a long time, but walked over slowly, Du Wei lowered her head and deliberately didn't raise it, staring at the toes on the ground.

"Vile." It was a pleasant surprise that came to my ears.

Du Wei raised her head, and the first thing she saw was a pair of eyes that were as warm as a lake, with a hint of sunshine warmth, which made people involuntarily infected by him when they saw it.

Unconsciously, Du Wei's lips were slightly raised, and the smile on her cheeks gradually spread.

Her mood was inexplicably relieved.

It's like the person opposite, she really seems familiar.

It seems that it is also on such a snowy day, a female doll wearing a big red colorful dress, holding a sugar gourd in her hand, staggered to the eldest brother who returned from the academy.

The corners of the clothes were stained with snowflakes, and only a pair of small footprints were left in the snow......

The reaction of "Big Brother ......" is completely the instinct of this body, and Du Wei feels that she is about to become one with this body.

Since the time of jumping into the river, her soul has completely become the master of this body.

She is Du Wei, and Du Wei is her.

The memories that didn't belong to her before also came to her.

Du Yifan suddenly picked her up, Du Wei only felt that her body was in the air, as if she was flying, and she was so frightened that she screamed.

The maids and ladies in the courtyard were so shocked that they all rushed out, "Young Master, I can't help it, I will scare the eldest lady!" "They all know how precious the eldest lady is, and if something goes wrong, they will all be punished.

Du Yifan actually picked her up like a child and turned her around.

Du Wei's face was full of crimson, even though she was a modern woman, it was the first time that she had grown so big and was carried around in circles by others like a child.

"What, it really scared you?" Du Yifan asked with a smile, "When you were a child, you liked to play like this very much, and often pestered me to go in circles. ”

"But I'm not a kid anymore." Du Wei reached out and stabbed the opponent's back heavily.

Du Yifan smiled and touched the top of her head, the feeling he brought her was really like a big brother next door.

"This is my gift to you." He pointed to a wooden box on the ground not far away.

"It's for me?" Du Wei was surprised.

Du Yifan nodded.

Du Wei walked over and opened the wooden box, only to see ten delicate little wooden figures neatly arranged inside, each painted with gorgeous oil paint.

She picked one up and noticed that their hands and feet could still move.

"When you were seven years old, I promised you a ...... every year on your birthday It's just a pity that these gifts are ten years late. ”

Looking at the tenderness in the eyes of the eldest brother, Du Wei suddenly felt that it was good to be able to find relatives here.

Looking at these little wooden figures, Du Wei suddenly said: "There is one thing I wonder if the eldest brother can tell the truth?" ”

A thick piece of snow suddenly fell on her shoulder, brushing away all the snow on her body.

Turning around, she saw Du Yifan standing there smiling at her, "Wei'er wants to know something, just ask." ”

"I want to know if the marriage contract of the Taishou Mansion has anything to do with me?" She was right.
