Chapter 100: The Origin of the Marriage

readx;

Du Yi blinked his eyes and looked disapproving, as if he was pointing out that Du Zilin was ignorant and couldn't even see the occasion clearly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

Everyone knows that the news of Du Yi's elopement with his subordinates only came out in Du Mansion four years ago. In other words, Du Yi only left Du Mansion four years ago, and now she said that Du Zilin has lived in the Bao Yi Pavilion, that is, only Du Mansion's concubine has lived in the courtyard where she can live for seven years, and the meaning behind this is self-evident.

She came back later, and then she lived back again, but Du Zilin wanted to live in it again, and there were many layers of meaning in it.

First of all, Du Yi came back, how did she come back, why did she bring a son, where did she live after she came back, and how did she live back to Bao Yi Pavilion? In addition, Du Yi has emphasized that she is the master of Du Mansion, and her uncle, who is also Du Heng, is just the manager on his behalf. It is impossible to replace it now.

It's not okay for Du Zilin to want to live in Baoyi Pavilion, if she really likes it, then she is building a courtyard like Baoyi Pavilion, but she definitely can't live in it.

Du Zilin asked Du Yi to speak, her face turned red and purple, and she felt that everyone's hot eyes were staring at her, as if she was standing in front of everyone with a red fruit, so that she had nowhere to hide.

When Zi Yifeng heard Du Yi's words, his eyes flashed again, what did Du Yi mean by this? Du Heng is his person, Du Yi wants to take back Du Mansion, it depends on whether he is willing or not, who doesn't know that Du Mansion is his Zi Yifeng's treasury?

Du Yi is Ling Sheng's niece, and he is naturally good friends. Ling Sheng is also a person from Ziyi City, could it be that Ziyi City went to talk to Mrs. Hou because of this?

Du Yi didn't know that if she broke the siege for herself, Zi Yifeng felt that this was a means for Zi Yicheng to declare war on him. But when his eyes looked at Xiao Shuai, a smile appeared on his face.

If he remembers correctly, this eldest lady of the Du family has not yet married. If he solves her life's work, will Doe be used by him?

Looking at her counterattack against Du Zilin just now, it can be seen that this woman, although she is not very smart, is not very stupid either. It's also easy to get her back.

"What Miss Du said is that you sisters can discuss things like this in private. Ziyi City made a rare noise. Originally, something like this had nothing to do with him, it was just a matter of competition within the Du Mansion. It's just that this involves his interests, and he has to speak out to coordinate.

Du Yi looked at Zi Yifeng again and saluted again: "I'm sorry, let the sixth prince laugh! Sister, you have to think twice about everything, and if you say it, you have to look at the occasion first!"

Du Zilin didn't expect Du Yi to be at this time, and she was still taking the opportunity to teach herself, which made her completely unable to get off the stage. Lin Heru stood aside and watched the play from beginning to end, and she knew that Du Yi could solve it by herself without her help at all.

"Sister Yiyi is here, hurry up, don't stand outside here, please sit inside! You guys are still performing, why don't you have one too?"

Ling Fenfang didn't know when, out of which corner, and the one who followed her was naturally Du Zhigao. The faces of the two of them were a little distorted, it seemed that they were reprimanding Du Zilin, and they all listened to it, if not all of them, at least half of them.

Sister-in-law laughed, Yiyi has no mother since she was a child, and her father has been busy outside for many years, and when Yiyi was ten years old and a little sensible, he left again. This doesn't hurt my father, I don't love my mother, where will these things happen? Yi Yi just take a look, maybe after watching it, he can learn a thing or two. ”

Du Yi's words made Du Zhigao's family's faces even more distorted. What she meant by this was that she was young and didn't have time to study, which was normal. When she is ten years old, it should be the time to study, because her uncle's family took over, so she naturally neglected to take care of her, so it is reasonable that she will not do this.

Didn't she slap outsiders in the face in front of them? Saying that she Du Yi was the eldest lady of Du Mansion, she was actually treated so harshly.

Du Heng was in charge of her property, but she didn't even invite Mama Xi, or rather, even her residence was taken away by Du Zilin. There is no need to describe the bits and pieces here, these people in the mansion can naturally figure out the doors. shook their heads one after another, and whispered that Du Ling's and Du Heng's people were not authentic.

Even with it, the eyes that looked at Ling Fenfang and Du Zhigao became interesting. I heard that Du Zhigao and Du Zilin originally had a marriage contract, but they didn't expect to marry Ling Fenfang. These two people won't be now, they just want to deal with this eldest lady of the Du family, right?

Lin Heru saw that the effect was almost over, so she took Du Yi's hand and said, "Yiyi, let's find a spare place to sit down first, and my mother should come over later!"

The Duchess didn't say a word from beginning to end, she just wanted to see how many catties and taels this Duyi had, which could make her daughter suffer a big loss. After seeing it, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

It seems that this girl is not a powerful person, otherwise where would she embarrass her sister like this in front of everyone. There are cleverness, but they are definitely not witty. It seems that the baby daughter will suffer last time, and it is just carelessness.

When Xiaoshuai came over, he was told by Du Yi that he couldn't recognize or call Ziyi City when he saw it. As long as you are obedient and obedient, you must not say too much. When he saw Zi Yi Cheng first, he originally wanted to go forward, but Du Yi held his little hand tightly, and he could only watch Zi Yi Cheng and his aunt go together.

Hearing Du Yi and Du Zilin's words at this time, the little guy just kept a calm face and didn't say a word. The original excitement of seeing Ziyi City has disappeared.

Although the little guy didn't quite understand what Du Yi said, he could still hear the words that everyone muttered about unmarried childbirth, wild seeds, and the like. He has heard these words since he was a child, and he knows that they are not good words.

Although Ziyicheng and Du Yi have told him that he is not a wild seed, nor is he a child that no one wants. But in the little guy's heart, he has already begun to decide that this is because Ziyi City doesn't want them, so he is said like this. Du Yi and Zi Yi Cheng didn't know that Xiao Shuai's little heart had already begun to label Zi Yi City.

"Come on, arrange a separate table for the eldest lady of the Du family!" Duchess Guo smiled, and when she saw that Ling Fenfang was going to take Du Yi into the table where there were few others, she raised her voice.

Du Yi was not among her invitees, and she didn't see how she treated her daughter in the Du family before. What Fang Cai Du said had already deeply satirized her daughter. An unmarried pregnant woman like her is not worthy of being her guest at all.

Ling Fenfang was stunned, she didn't expect her mother to embarrass Du Yi like this in front of everyone. Although she can relieve her anger a little by doing this, it will inevitably give people the feeling of being a child. After all, the door-to-door is a guest, how can anyone treat guests like this.

"Miss Du, you're late, and this table is a little messy, I'll let you open a table alone, don't you mind?" The Duchess asked Du Yi with a smile, what she said was completely for Du Yi's sake.

Lin Heru was angry in her heart, her face was flushed, and she reached out to pull Du Yi, but she secretly pinched her, signaling her to be calm.

"Yi Yi has seen the Duchess of Guo, and if Mrs. Hui is back, Yi Yi will not mind. If the Duchess of the Kingdom let Yi Yi sit on the table that had already moved, she would have contempt for Yi Yi. ”

Originally, Zi Yifeng wanted to ask Du Yi to go to his table, which also gave her a great face, and she would be grateful to herself when she looked back. Unexpectedly, Du Yi distorted all the meanings of the Duchess of Guo in turn, and completely said that the Duchess of Guo was thinking about her Du Yi, so she didn't want her to share the table with others, so that she seemed to respect her Du Yi.

The daughters of all the official families, who originally had contempt for Du Yi, subconsciously frowned when they heard the words of the Duchess of Guo. There are soft-hearted people who even want to ask Du Yi to come to their table, but they didn't expect Du Yi to answer like this.

I couldn't help nodding at her, although she was an orphan girl, she was a clever girl, but it was a pity that she had already given birth to a child, otherwise with her appearance and figure, she would still have to find a good family.

Lin Heru was also relieved when she heard Du Yi's words, but she also made a note of the Duchess in her heart. It's just a person who has just come to the capital to gain a foothold, and he dares to despise the people of their Hou Mansion without even standing on his heels in the capital, hum!

"In that case, I have bothered the Duchess of Guo to arrange a new table, and I'm waiting here with Yiyi. "Lin Heru is the wife of the little marquis, and she is the daughter of the secretary of the military department, so her words naturally have weight.

When everyone saw her obviously unhappy expression, they immediately made up their minds not to deal with this country mansion in the future. Although the Hou Mansion supports the emperor's faction, the emperor is young, but he has the regent Ziyicheng, as long as Ziyicheng is there, it will be difficult for these six princes to claim the world.

Now the situation in the court has begun to tilt a little towards the emperor's side, especially after the daughter of the military department Shangshu married the little marquis of the Zhongyong Marquis's mansion.

When the Duchess heard Du Yi's answer, the corners of her mouth stiffened, but she quickly reacted. Doy she can be offended, but she forgot who Doe came with. also forgot about Du Yi's other identity, her maternal uncle is the Marquis of Zhongyong, her aunt Ling Yang is the daughter of Yang Taishi, her cousin is the hereditary little marquis, and her cousin-in-law is the daughter of the military department.

"Come on, put the new table next to the main table!" If I originally planned to arrange Doe in the corner, after thinking about the relationship inside, I followed Doe's words and placed the table next to the main table. In this way, it seems that she is respecting Du Yi, or rather, her respect for Ling Yang and others.

When Doy heard this, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. Even if the Duchess of this country is not too stupid, she just followed the topic and went down the steps.

After the new table was set up and the things on the table came up one by one, Du Yi took Xiaoshuai and sat down with Lin Heru.

The Duchess of Guo secretly hated in her heart, but she still had to smile and said: "Where is the performance?" Let's continue, the regent has something to do, and there is a lack of a referee, why don't you ask our Xiangye to make a judgment?"

When Prime Minister Wang heard this, he stood up and arched his hand: "Since this is the case, then the old man should not give in." ”

Wei Rushan waited until everyone shifted their attention to the stage, then got up and walked to the stage. She was going to paint on the spot, but Du Yi was not interested, looked at the things on the table, picked up the chopsticks, and fed Xiaoshuai.

She really wasn't interested in performing a skill like this. These people are just fed and supported, and that's all they will have. If there is a disaster and they are starved to death, they should be on time.

"Yiyi, are you really not going up?" Lin Heru felt that Du Yi should be very powerful, and there was no reason to bury it. What she said just now, although it seems to be the truth, Lin Heru doesn't think so.

"No, wouldn't it be better to take a look down here?" Dui spoke in a very small voice, afraid of being heard. She knew that the people here were very high in martial arts, and they couldn't be careless when they spoke, especially if they wanted Zi Yifeng.

Xiao Shuai blinked, took his own small chopsticks, looked at the empty bowl, thought about it, and said, "Mother, Xiao Shuai wants to eat rice!"

On this table, there are some delicate things, but for Xiao Shuai, who is used to eating rice and home-cooked food, it is okay to eat two bites of those exquisite side dishes, but it can't be without rice.

Zi Yifeng had been paying attention to Du Yi's actions, and when he heard Xiao Shuai's words, he turned around and whispered to the people standing behind. Just as Doy was about to ask someone to bring rice, someone had already brought a bowl of rice.

Doe wasn't surprised that this would happen, she wasn't curious about who it was, she didn't have to guess to know. At the moment, he took it with peace of mind and picked some into Xiaoshuai's bowl: "Eat slowly, what do you want to eat, my mother will clip it for you!"

Du Yi touched Xiaoshuai's hair, and saw that his son could eat and drink, and his heart was much more steady. She was afraid that after Xiaoshuai came to the capital, she would be unaccustomed to the water and soil. So far, everything is adapting well.

Du Zilin, who was in the distance, watched all this, and didn't have the heart to stare at the situation on the stage at all. Seeing that Du Yi was like no one beside him, eating and feeding the children, he felt contempt in his heart.

"What a dirt bun, come to this kind of place, just to eat? If you want to eat, you won't go back to eat? It's really a shame to die!" she said very quietly, but it still made Xiang Xinhe, who was sitting next to her, hear.

Xiang Xinhe, who was originally listening to the stage, looked at the main table and saw that Du Yi's mother and son were eating with relish. On the other hand, Lin Heru and the others next to him were staring at the stage with their eyes tightly and were fascinated.

"Is this meal really so delicious?" Xiang Xinhe whispered, and then picked up the chopsticks. The ladies at the same table naturally saw her move and looked at her in surprise.

"This white jade tofu is really good, no wonder she can eat it so deliciously!" After Xiang Xinhe put down her chopsticks, she picked up the embroidered handkerchief, gently wiped the corners of her mouth, looked at everyone, and glanced in the direction of Du Yi, and then said.

The ladies at the same table, except for Du Zilin, all followed her gaze, when they saw that Du Yi had no scruples at all, and was having a big appetite, some frowned, some were attracted by Du Yi, and like Xiang Xinhe, they picked up chopsticks and couldn't help but try some food.

These ladies, on weekdays, will never eat with chopsticks at banquets. One is to pay attention to the image, and the other is to perform, if you eat, turn around and go out of the situation to call it bad. Usually they will eat some pastries on the way there, and when the banquet is over, on the way home, they can eat some pastries to fill their stomachs.

Du Yi didn't know that his actions had caused many ladies, who picked up chopsticks and tried them one after another, regardless of etiquette. This is the first time this has ever happened.

The men's table and the women's seat are separated by a screen, so naturally I didn't see this situation, but the position of the male and female main tables is on the high side, so the male seats sitting on the side of the main table can see it clearly.

I don't know who discovered this situation first, and soon the people at the main table looked at the women's table, and when they saw this situation, everyone was stunned, and even Zi Yifeng subconsciously pinched a chopstick.

"Ling Guogong, the dish of yours is really good, I don't know who made it?" Zi Yifeng, who originally tried it out of curiosity, tasted this dish and asked out loud.

Ling Guogong naturally didn't care about these trivial matters in the house. When the Duchess on the women's seat heard this, she got up and bowed: "Back to the sixth prince, it was ordered by Yiji Restaurant." The Guogong Mansion had only been here for a short time, and I didn't know everyone's tastes, and I heard that the business of Yi Kee Restaurant was good, so I went there and selected these in person. ”

"Yiji Restaurant?" Zi Yifeng flashed a hint of scheming in his eyes when he said this.

"Yes, it seems that the food at this Yi Kee Restaurant is really good. Look at this situation, but it doesn't happen on weekdays, especially this chestnut chicken. If it weren't for the use of relationships, this dish would be difficult to buy. ”

When Duchess Ling Guo said this, she looked a little proud. This chestnut is not available at all in this season, which is not at all the same concept as the greenhouse vegetables that can be sold for money.

Now there are chestnut dishes outside, and the price is more than 20 taels, and you have to make an appointment half a month in advance. And there is only one a day, and the one with the highest price gets it.

Today, she was able to get twenty Dao, and it took a lot of connections and a lot of money to get it. This chestnut chicken is not said to be in the capital, even in Fengcheng is extremely rare, and the price is more than ten taels.

"Indeed, I don't know who the owner of this Yiji Restaurant is?" As soon as Zi Yifeng asked this, Ling Guogong knew that he was paying attention in his heart.

Now that the vitality of Du Mansion has been greatly damaged, in the past two years, it needs to be slowed down, and there is not much silver that can be provided. The business of this Yi Kee Restaurant is so hot, I am afraid that one restaurant will be able to top many industries in Shangdu Mansion. I heard that this Yiji Restaurant is also available in the entire Purple Moon Country, and in this way, there is a lot of silver that can be earned in a year.

Ling Guogong, who didn't think about it so much, moved his mind after being asked like this. If this Yi Ji Restaurant can be used by them, what if Du Mansion is delayed for two years? They can be like the owner of the Yi Ji Restaurant who cultivated Du Heng Naye.

"I heard that it's a man named Ling Fan!" Speaking of this Ling Fan, it is impossible for Ling Guogong not to know. During the previous drought, he had people give porridge at the gate of Fengcheng until Fengcheng was connected with water.

That Ling Fan is a living bodhisattva in the eyes of the people of Fengcheng, and when he heard that the people wanted to make a difficult problem for him, he was suffering from not being able to see him. Being able to give soup porridge for so long at that time shows that the person's financial resources are abundant, and if they can use it, then they don't have to worry about the source of money at all.

What Ling Guogong thinks is what Zi Yifeng thinks. Because Du Heng could not provide him with a source of silver, now he could only use the silver he had taken from the treasury before.

It's just that if it goes on like this, it's not a solution, and it has to be solved. Now this Ling Fan is the person he needs to woo.

"You go and contact that Ling Fan, and say that this king invited him to come to the mansion as a guest!"

Bai Mei stood behind Du Yi, and when she heard this, she whispered it to her as it was. I saw a smile on the corner of Du Yi's mouth, and he felt extremely contemptuous of that Zi Yifeng in his heart. What a leech, where he sees blood, sucks it wherever he goes. I wanted to see her, but there was no door.

"Are you full?" Du Yi saw Xiao Shuai put down his chopsticks, took out an embroidered handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, and wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth for him.

"Well, mother, Xiaoshuai wants to eat what his mother made!" Xiaoshuai thought this was delicious, but it was not as good as his mother's work.

"Okay, when I go back, my mother will make it for you. Now sit down and don't talk to the show in the stands. ”

Du Yi wanted to leave, it was very boring here, either acting or calculating. It's just that Ling Yang's hasn't come back yet, and it's really hard for her to leave.

A performance on the stage had just ended, and Ling Yang and Zi Yicheng had returned. Dooy and his gaze met in the air, quickly shifting, as if they had just inadvertently looked at it.

"Uncle, Xiao Shuai is full!" Although Xiao Shuai has only been here for a day, he knows who is good to him. Therefore, when he saw Du Ling Yang coming back, he said to her sitting beside him in a milky voice.

"Oh, then Xiao Shuai told her uncle, which dish is the best?" Ling Yang couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiao Shuai when he saw it, how good it would be if she Ru'er also gave birth to such a big grandson for her.

Xiao Shuai stretched out his short little hand, pointed out all the dishes, and then said: "It's all delicious, but it's not as good as my mother's cooking!"

As soon as he said this, Lin Heru and Ling Yang laughed. Their laughter quickly drew people in. Zi Yicheng naturally looked at the smile on Du Yi's face, while Zi Yifeng was confused, and glanced around the three big and one small on the table.

The feast began to come to an end, and the praise had come to an end. It was Li Meixin who got the golden butterfly whiskers inlaid with pearl bees and flowers and golden steps, and Du Yi heard Ling Yang tell her that it was the daughter of Li Taishi's family. As for what she performed, Doe didn't know at all.

Ling Yang took Du Yi and told her without a trace who was who, what was the background, etc., so that Du Yi could understand that when he turned around, he could sit in the right seat.

Everyone left in groups, and Du Yi saw Du Zhigao with Du Zilin, without even saying a word, and left directly. She doesn't think much of their attitude.

Du Zilin sat in the carriage, thinking of the prize that should have belonged to her, the gaze that should have belonged to her, and was taken away by Li Meixin, and she gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart. It's all Du Yi's slut, where Li Meixin's performance is good for her, it's all her. If it weren't for her, how could her aura be easily taken away?

When not to come, but at the end of her performance. That slut must have done it on purpose, absolutely on purpose.

"If you don't have the ability, don't be embarrassed, who will show this expression now?" Du Zhigao saw the expression on his sister's face, and was a little angry. This girl really doesn't know what to think, knowing that she is not the opponent of Duyi's cheap girl, but she still bumps into it stupidly.

"Whose big brother are you?I'm being bullied, why don't you come to help me?" Du Zilin, who was still angry alone, heard this, and her hands trembled with anger.

There is no difference between this eldest brother and not, his daughter-in-law treats her like this, and now he yells at her again, what kind of ability. In front of his daughter-in-law, he is a man with soft legs.

"Help you? What do you want me to help you with the things you do? Isn't it that Xiang Xinhe and Ling Qixuan are married, are you jealous and want to frame her? I didn't expect that the framing could not be achieved, but instead pushed other people's maids into the lake, right? With a woman like you and such a vicious mind, who would dare to ask for it? Fortunately, I am only your eldest brother, not a man you fancie, otherwise I would rather marry a daughter without salt than marry a woman like you. ”

It is rare for Du Zhigao to say so many words, he is really angry today. If it weren't for Du Zilin, who didn't have a long eye, to provoke Du Yi, would Du Yi be able to be so many in front of so many people? Originally, he had made a lot of friends, but after Du Yi's cheap girl said that, he began to slowly distance himself from him, and finally avoided him.

The people who were originally sitting with him had unconsciously changed positions, and the places around him were empty. Who is responsible for all this? Although it is true that Du Yi is a slut, it is Du Zilin, the sister who is not long-eyed, who started first.

The first time he was in the cloister, it was none of his business, it was his sister's problem. So what did Du Yi say the second time, that is, his family problem, he came out of such a family, even if the family was rich, those officials and eunuchs who regarded themselves as superior would not disdain him to deal.

I thought that I would take this opportunity to get to know more people and that his examination would be helpful. It's good now, it's all ruined. And the one who ruined all this was the handwriting of the short-eyed sister in front of him.

If he knew that this would be the case today, he would definitely not bring her here. The shame is not to mention, and it also affects him.

"You ......" When Du Zilin heard this, she couldn't wait to step forward and scratch Du Zhigao's face. But she didn't dare, it was her eldest brother, and the family still hoped that he could be admitted to fame, be able to embark on a career and add glory to the family, and she would have to rely on her mother's family in the future, and she would never offend him.

"I will tell my mother the truth, and when I go back, give me a good introspection. Don't think you're all right, just blame others!" Du Zhigao's eyes widened, he snorted coldly, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.

Orange Rose, who was sitting outside the car, heard this, stretched out her hand to wrap her clothes tightly again, and lowered her eyes with a smile.

When the group returned to the Hou Mansion, Du Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She particularly dislikes the atmosphere of banquets and the like, which reminds her of things in modern times.

Every time she attends a banquet, it is with a purpose. Her good father is always looking for the best marriage partner, and she is the object of that marriage. Finally, she was going to get married, thinking that this life would be like this. Unexpectedly, an explosion sent her here.

I don't know if God took pity on her, so that she could survive in this time and space in her current identity, maybe all this was arranged in the dark.

Due to the cold night and the snow in recent years, the banquets between these dignitaries in the capital are arranged during the day, and they are generally lunch.

When they returned, it was close to the time of Shen. Xiao Shuai needs to sleep for about half an hour every afternoon, and when he saw him yawning, Du Yi said: "Bai Mei, take Xiao Shuai down to rest first, this child should also rest!"

"Yes, Miss!" Bai Mei also noticed that Xiao Shuai's eyes were a little red, and his eyes were even more listless, obviously he already wanted to sleep, but he still endured his appearance.

Ling Yang and Lin Heru were also a little tired, and when they saw Xiao Shuai like this, they said loudly: "Yiyi, you can go back and rest first!"

Du Yi glanced at the two of them before nodding and said, "Okay, I'll do it myself for dinner today, and invite my uncle, aunt and cousin and sister-in-law to come over for a light meal, and by the way, taste Yiyi's craftsmanship!"

Before Ling Yang's reaction could be made, Lin Heru, who was still a little sleepy, became excited: "Really, Yiyi, do you really want to do it?"

How Doy cooks, she is not knowing. But every time Ling Yuanfan returned to the Hou Mansion, he would praise her, which made her curious. Today's banquet in the Lingguo Mansion, she thinks it's good, after all, the reputation of the Yi Ji Restaurant is there, and it is difficult to eat it.

But thinking of Xiao Shuai and Ling Yuanfan's words, she was a little moved. Now when she heard Doe's words, she longed to let Doe cook now, so that she could taste if it was really that delicious.

"Really, when it's time for you, come back and make sure you still want to eat!" Doe smiled when he saw her. I was secretly glad that her uncle's family was good, of course, except for that Aunt Qiuyue, everyone else was quite easy to get along with.

"Mother, then let's go back first, and come over when you are here. Xianggong said that Yiyi's craftsmanship is so good that even the chef in the Yiji Restaurant is not half as good as hers. I heard that the dishes in the Yi Kee Restaurant are all from Yi Yi's hands. Mother, you said the food in the Guogong Mansion was delicious today?"

"Well, that's good! it's much better than the cook at home!" Ling Yang was dragged out towards the bamboo garden by Lin Heru. When I heard that Du Yi was very skilled, I couldn't help but be surprised.

"Mother, when you weren't there, Xiaoshuai said that he wanted to eat the food made by Yiyi. Come to think of it, we all borrowed the light of Xiaoshuai. Originally, I heard from my husband that Yiyi never cooked easily. But she cooks, which is extremely missed. Xiaoshuai's child also said that the meals in Ling Guogong's mansion today were not as delicious as Yiyi's cooking. Mother, everyone can lie, but children can't. ”

"Is it really that delicious? You haven't eaten it before. Well, in that case, let's come over earlier today. Mama Fang, you talk to Mama Wei, what do you need, just open your mouth!"

Ling Yang even made up his mind in his heart, if the food made by Du Yi was really delicious, then the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, could they come directly to Du Yishan Garden and live together. The chef in this house has long been tired of eating it.

"Yes, ma'am!"

She didn't go far, and when Mama Fang returned to Shanyuan again, she listened to Du Yi's instructions: "Mama Wei, these may need to trouble you." If not, you can directly ask someone to pick it up at Yi Kee Restaurant!"

Seeing that Du Yi had already ordered, Mama Fang retreated. Today, when she heard about Doe's actions, she looked up to her. Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she listened to people very carefully.

"Miss, you said you want to make a hot pot, so how do you prepare this pot and seasonings?" Zi Ding gave Du Yi a hand, and after hearing Du Yi's proposal to make a hot pot, he asked out loud.

She hadn't heard of what kind of pot this hot pot was, and what Du Yi said, the seasoning had to be mixed out separately, so how to do it?

"Don't ask so much, just listen to me. Prepare an old duck and some mung beans, let's make a mandarin duck pot today, the light side, mainly the duck soup, the spicy side, don't care, when the time comes, just eat it directly. Now you can just boil the duck and mung beans for me. ”

On the side where Du Yi prepares the clear soup, he directly makes a soup pot, and today's so-called mandarin duck pot is two separate pots, one red soup and one clear soup. Just now, she had already asked Mama Wei to go to the pharmacy to buy peppercorns and the like. Chili peppers are available in this house, as for sesame paste and the like, she has it herself, and no matter how much it is not in the Yi Ji Restaurant, she doesn't have to worry about it.

As for the vegetables, there are them in the greenhouse. There are also fresh vegetables in the Hou Mansion, and even if there are none, there are also in the Yi Ji Restaurant. As long as Mama Wei takes her token to get it, whatever she wants, the other party will cooperate.

After waiting for the dishes and the seasonings that Du Yi needed, as well as the unique Chinese pot in Yi Kee Restaurant, Du Yi took people to get busy. Washing the vegetables, slicing the slices, Du Yi himself is boiling the base of the pot.

Sichuan pepper, dried chilies, huo bay leaves, grass fruits, cinnamon, star anise, cumin seeds, pepper seeds, rock sugar, and of course, green onions and oil are essential.

After stir-frying it in order, Doe thought about it and asked him to boil some bone broth to make the soup base. In winter, mutton is the warmest supplement, but when Mama Wei went to Yiji Restaurant, she didn't find mutton, so she brought some pork back.

Du Yi looked at the half pig, thought about it, and shaved off the bones of Rang Baimei and boiled them. Taking advantage of this effort, I simply made a drunken pork ribs, a fried cabbage, and a shredded potato and shredded pork. By the way, I also stuffed the rice again. After everything is loaded with two medium-shaped pots, it is close to the unitary time. At this time, Du Yi was extremely glad that this small kitchen in Shan Garden was fully equipped. There are two stoves of this size, each of which can hold two pots.

"It's so fragrant!" The far door was opened, and Du Yi, who was still busy, heard Lin Heru's voice.

"It'll be all right soon, you go to the parlor and sit down for a while!" Du Yi asked people to put some plant ash at the bottom of the porcelain basin as he spoke, and then put the burning charcoal fire in it, and then let the two pots be brought over.

When these are ready, they are served with washed and cut dishes, and then a bowl of homemade seasonings is put away for each person.

"Alright, get ready to go!" Lin Heru, who couldn't wait for a long time, waited for Du Yi's words. When Du Yi's words fell, she was the first to run in, which made Ling Yuanfan couldn't help but shake his head.

Xiao Shuai took a deep breath and smelled the fragrance in the air, and said to Du Yi: "Mother, it's so fragrant!"

"You can start eating it right away, but Xiaoshuai, you drink a little bit of this duck soup first, and then the hot pot lady will give you a little bit, and you will eat rice to know if you don't!"

Xiao Shuai is still young, and Du Yi doesn't want him to touch these more stomach-stimulating things. The three dishes she made were originally prepared for Xiaoshuai, but she was afraid that someone would not be able to accept the hot pot, so when she fried it, she increased the amount a little more.

"I know my mother!"

Xiao Shuai still thinks a little about Ziyi City, but when he thinks of today, he doesn't ask Du Yi about why Uncle Zi didn't come.

"This is a hot pot, and eating it can warm your body. Let's eat quickly, and let Mama Wei and them taste it after eating. I've prepared all their dishes, and they'll eat them themselves when I get back!"

Du Yi said, and scooped a bowl of duck soup for everyone. Before eating, let everyone drink the soup and cushion their stomachs first. Lest you be stimulated for a while, you can't stand it, and it's easy to have stomach trouble at night, which is not good.

When everyone was drinking the soup, Du Yi first picked up some vegetables and threw them into the pot to cook. When she finished drinking the soup, she picked up a cabbage leaf with chopsticks, dipped it in the prepared sesame paste, and put it in her mouth, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The taste is really nostalgic, counting the time, she has been here for more than four years, and she hasn't eaten hot pot for six years. After returning to the Du family, the Du family was busy training her, not allowing her to eat this or touch that, which was very troublesome.

Since this time I ate it, it was still in modern times, when my mother was still eating. Thinking of this, Du Yi suddenly missed her mother a little, even after so many years, her mother's appearance was still deeply imprinted in her mind.

Lin Heru, who had just finished drinking the soup and learned to eat Du Yi's shabu-shabu, saw tears shining in the corners of Du Yi's eyes, and her heart tightened: "Yiyi, what's wrong with you, but what's uncomfortable?"

As soon as her words fell, everyone's eyes shifted to Du Yi, and even Xiao Shuai put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Du Yi with a worried face. The little guy was originally sitting in his own chair, next to Doy. At this moment, he directly stretched out his short little hand, followed Doyi's previous actions, and covered her forehead.

"Mother, are you uncomfortable? don't cry, as soon as you cry, Xiaoshuai wants to cry!"

Du Yi noticed Xiao Shuai's actions, and when he heard the sound that he had begun to burp, he quickly collected his emotions and said, "If you don't cry, how can your mother cry." Just now, the dish was too hot, and my mother was burned. Just wait for my mother to drink saliva, handsome and good, don't cry! Man, don't bleed or cry, have you forgotten?"

When the little guy heard that Doe was burned, he sniffed, glanced at Doe suspiciously, and after making sure that he was okay, he began to eat his own meal.

Du Yi's words can only deceive a child like Xiaoshuai, and the eyes of the others looking at her are full of inquiry. It was all fine just now, why is it suddenly like this, what the hell is going on?

Doubts are doubts, but they still haven't been asked. Du Yi's mood had been put away, so he beckoned everyone to eat: "Whatever you want to eat, burn it yourself, like this, throw it into the soup pot and cook it, dip it in this seasoning and eat it." If you think it's delicious, go back to our restaurant and launch this hot pot. ”

Ling Yuanfan naturally likes spicy food, even Ling Sheng is too. Only Lin Heru and Ling Yang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law eat with clear soup, but occasionally the two will go to the red soup to eat some slices of meat.

"Yiyi, this is so delicious, I've never eaten so delicious!" Lin Heru's meal was small, and after simply eating some, he stopped using his chopsticks. I wanted to eat a little more, but unfortunately I couldn't hold it in my stomach. At this time, she touched her stomach, which was a little swollen after eating, and sighed again and again.

"Since we think it's delicious, then the day after tomorrow, that is, in the new year, we can try to launch this dish in Yi Kee Restaurant. By the way, cousin, today Bai Mei told me that Zi Yifeng has moved his mind to Yiji Restaurant and wants to ask me to be a guest at his house!"

Xiaoshuai had already eaten enough and asked Ziding to take him down for a walk, and Du Yi took advantage of this opportunity to tell the story.

"Today, when you are in the Ling Guo Mansion?" Ling Yuanfan, who was originally still in the soup pot with chopsticks, picked up the meat and put it in the bowl, and was not in a hurry to eat it.

"Well, the dishes at the banquet in the Guogong Mansion today are all from the Yi Ji Restaurant, isn't it just something to remember? You also know that now that the Du Mansion has not yet recovered, during this time, he will definitely have to find another way out and find another merchant who can provide him with a large amount of silver to cooperate. No, do you have a crush on me today?"

"What are you going to do?" Ling Yuanfan had no appetite at this time, and the group moved to the study to talk. Originally, it was inconvenient for Ling Yang and Lin Heru to participate in such a matter, but today's Guogong Mansion needed the two of them. No one is more familiar with the thoughts and movements of those dignitaries in the capital than their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"I didn't plan to do anything, so I didn't show up. Didn't he just want me to give me some money? I'm not so stupid, where do I have so much silver? The little money I earned was not enough for me to invest in the development of the canal passage. ”

Du Yi has never hidden these things from Ling Yuanfan. She knew that even if she concealed it, he would still know it as soon as she turned around.

"Invest in the canal? What's going on, let's hear it. But it's okay if you don't see it, I'll let people let out the wind when I turn around, that Yiji Restaurant is a partnership between my Hou Mansion and Ling Fan. ”

"That's okay, but once the news is released, will it force Zi Yifeng to be anxious? He has no source of money now, once he knows that Yi Ji is related to the Hou Mansion, it means that this Yi Ji is related to Zi Yi City. When the time comes, if he is desperate, it will be in trouble. The people outside of our Purple Moon Country are not having a good time now, if something happens in the court at this time, what should the people do? As for the opening of the canal, I told Ziyi City. The river you opened out is getting bigger and bigger, and I plan to let people continue to dig it up, and when the time comes, make reasonable use of it, and transport it for water transportation. In this way, it can not only connect the entire Purple Moon Country, but also develop the economy along the river. The Purple Moon Country can't only have land transportation, and the existing waterway is simply a tyrannical treasure. ”

"You don't have to worry about the rumors, I'll go back and discuss it with you. As for the canal you mentioned, how long will it take, when will it be launched, how much money will be needed, and how long will it take to recover the cost? Once it is developed, what will be the benefit to my Purple Moon Country?"

Ling Yuanfan suddenly felt that he was worthy of being Yu Ziheng's friend, and under his influence, when it came to these ways of doing business, it was the head of the road. People who don't know still think that he, the little marquis, is going to change careers and do business.

"I won't know this until I discuss it with Yu Ziheng. As for the benefits, you'll know when you keep your eyes open. By the way, uncle, I have something I want to ask you!" Du Yi looked at Ling Sheng, who was asking about the Ling Yang Clan's banquet in the Guogong Mansion today, and asked out loud.

"What's the matter, you say!" Ling Sheng turned his head with doubts in his eyes.

He doesn't know much about business, just have a son. As long as he knew some things in the imperial court, such as Ling Yang's participation in the banquet this time, he could learn about the recent movements of each family from the words of other people's conversations.

"Uncle, I forgot everything before, and you know it. I've always heard that Du Zhigao is my fiancΓ©, and you must know about it. It is said that I was entrusted by my father before his death, why did my father want me to marry Du Zhigao, he is my cousin, or a cousin of the same family. I have a closer relationship with him than other people's cousins in the house. My father and uncle are half-brothers, as are my mother and aunt. How could my dad have such a thought in this case? I want to ask, were you present when my dad said his last words?"

About this matter, Du Yi once asked Liu, she said that she was a subordinate, and before her father died, he just called her in and came out after a few words, and then called others in.

In the past, Du Yi thought that it was a ridiculous thing for close relatives to get married in ancient times, but after crossing here, he found that there were even more ridiculous things. Originally, she didn't want to do so much, but now that she has Xiaoshuai, as soon as she goes out, she will be pointed at, and Du Zhigao will be involved, which can't help but make her a little angry.

"No, your father was dead when we passed. Your uncle said that before your father died, he entrusted you to him, and let him manage the family property for a while before you died. Wait until you have finished your time to return it. He also said that before your father died, he married you to Du Zhigao, although he thought it was a little ridiculous, but he had a marriage contract in his hand and your father's fingerprints on it. I've already confirmed that although the word wasn't written by your father, it does have your father's handprint on it. I checked with the horse steward and heard that he was there. As for whether there is anyone else, it is not clear. ”

When Du Yi heard this, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, her father's instructions before his death would be like this, no matter how she thought about it, it was incredible. But when I heard it, only Du Heng and Ma Steward, and whether there were anyone else, I didn't know. Isn't this so-called marriage up to them?

Assuming that Du Heng calculated Du Mansion's property at the beginning, then her father's so-called return from being injured would be a bit intriguing. As for Du Heng's coming to Du Mansion, whether he was invited or uninvited, these are two different things. In addition, whether the horse steward has been bought by Du Heng is another matter.

If Du Heng's target is the property of Du Fu, then it is very likely that Ma Guan was bought. And the matter of the marriage contract is that they set up a bureau with the purpose of finally taking over the property of Du Mansion as a matter of course. And his kindness to Dui in the eyes of everyone can also be explained in another way.

As for Doy's residence, ignore it. Every time he came back, he was good to Du Yi and bought the best things, with the purpose of arousing Du Zilin's jealousy and asking her to torture Du Yi. And Du Yi is an orphan girl who has no ability to resist, and Du Ling must stand by her daughter's side.

He Du Heng is away all the year round, whether Du Ling's jealousy of his sister at the beginning, or if he wants to occupy the property of Du Mansion, he will definitely not treat Du Yi well. And all this, it is impossible for him, a master of Du Mansion, not to know.

So if it is successful, then everything can be explained. Du Heng became xx and wanted to set up a chaste archway.

After Du Yi figured out all the possibilities, he asked the doubts in his heart: "Uncle, have you ever thought that my father did not entrust me to him at all? Do you think my father will marry me to Du Zhigao, he is my cousin." In my uncle's impression, my father is such a confused person?"

Du Yi's words made Ling Sheng stunned. Originally, he didn't suspect it, but Du Heng's written evidence made him unable to explain. How could a person who was already dead scream and asked. The other is that the human and physical evidence are all there, what can he do?

At that time, Du Yi was still young, he only knew how to cry, and he didn't know anything about it, even if he had the heart, he was powerless.

"Naturally not, then according to the current situation, what do you want to do?" Ling Sheng suddenly felt that if Du Yi had the heart to take back Du Mansion, then he would inevitably have to get to the bottom of it and find out all the things that happened back then, so that he could sort out this matter.

At this time, Ling Yuanfan also pondered when he heard this. If his uncle hadn't done this, then when did Du Heng start calculating, and was his uncle's death an accident or man-made? In other words, everything was probably calculated by him. In the years that Du Yi lived in Du Mansion, he lived under Du Heng's careful calculations?

"Whether it's true or not, I'll have to find out. If it's true, then my father's mind was confused before he died. If it's fake, the person who designed me in such a way, then what am I polite?"

When Du Yi said this, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. The original owner is also pitiful enough, if that is really the case, then the original owner's family died under the calculation of people with intentions.

Since she crossed over and lived for her, there are some accounts that have to be calculated. After all, those things in the past were easy to affect her life, which made her feel very unhappy.

Someone blocked her way, and she had to clear it. She Du Yi is not a weak person, what should be counted, must be calculated clearly, not to mention, she still has a little handsome now.

"Well, if you need any help, just say it. Don't say anything else, just check it out, there is a pimple in the heart of the province. ”

Ling Sheng sighed, this kind of thing, it was inconvenient for him to make a move. Once he makes a move, it will attract Zi Yifeng's attention. It would be better for Doe himself to spy on it.

"Well, by the way, uncle, what do you think of today's hot pot? If it's okay, I'll let people prepare to push it away, take advantage of the cold weather, and make a fortune." Those people don't have any silver, but there are many rich merchants and dignitaries in the capital, and this silver must be easy to earn. ”

"It tastes good. Say, what do you want your uncle to do?" Although Du Yi only arrived in the capital yesterday, Ling Sheng didn't know her very well, but when he heard her ask this again, he knew that she must have something in mind.

Du Yi smiled and admitted very generously: "It's nothing, I just want my uncle to go back to Yiji Restaurant to invite those colleagues of yours to have a meal on the day when the hot pot is newly launched." Uncle, look at how much I think about you, this meal is still free for you. It's good for you to invite your colleagues to have a meal a year ago, and it's a lot of face-saving things, right?"

"Yiyi, why didn't you hear you, you want to invite me to a meal. I haven't eaten it yet, thinking about what day you are doing it, tell me first, I'll go back to Shangshu Mansion and call my father and mother to taste it. But since you're going to open your business, do you have to treat me to a meal too? I'm your cousin, so you can treat me too!"

Lin Heru thought of the hot pot just now, and couldn't help but lick the corners of her mouth secretly, and she was still quiet in the deliciousness. It's just that her move fell into Ling Yuanfan's eyes without a trace. I saw that his originally bottomless black eyes flashed a glimmer of light, and in the depths of his lowered eyes, there was a faint fire beating.

"Yes, please, please. It's just that I said cousin-in-law, let me invite, isn't it a little unauthentic? If I invite, I have to pay for my own money, don't forget, that Yiji Restaurant also has a share of the Hou Mansion. Well, ask your cousin how much he has. I'm afraid that you will earn much more money than I do!"

With a smile on the corner of Du Yi's mouth, he looked at Lin Heru, who was a little dumbfounded, and blinked when he saw it, and then said, "Since that's the case, forget it." I'll bring someone over to taste it myself, Yiyi, I'll say it first, if it's not as delicious as you make, you'll have to compensate me another day. ”

Doe shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer.

Spiritual Garden.

As soon as Du Zhigao returned to the Hou Mansion, he rushed to Du Ling's house and said loudly: "Mother, don't let me take Zilin out in the future, it's not enough to be ashamed!"

Du Lingshi was confused, how could he come back, but he was angry. It's not supposed to, if you go to the Guogong Mansion, at least you won't be happy when you come back, at least it won't be like now.

"What's going on?"

"What else can it be, it just doesn't have eyes. First, Xiang Xinhe was designed, but the design was not successful, and in full view of everyone, the girl was pushed into the ice lake, but fortunately, Xiangfang revealed the matter. As a result, she couldn't make a plan, and she had another plan. Seeing that Doe is coming, he lies and doesn't make drafts. let Du Yi expose it on the spot, and in turn, she was reprimanded on the spot. That's it, but the implication of Doyi's words is that we have mistreated her. Mother, tell me, how can you give birth to such a stupid daughter? I, Du Zhigao, don't have such a sister, and I feel ashamed to say it. If it weren't for her today, I would have handed over some of the eunuchs. Originally, the eldest brother and the second uncle introduced me to a few. As a result, she made a fuss, well, everyone saw me and wanted to hide away. Had it not been for her to provoke the head, would Doe have been able to say those words, and how could the people I have befriended be far from me?"

Du Lingshi frowned, and said, "What about her, but she came back with you?"

"It's back, but as soon as I come back, I hide in my room. I really don't know what the so-called girl is, I think Naduyi's cheap girl is right, Zilin should be disciplined well. Speak without thinking at all, and do things without consideration. After Du Zhigao finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and left hatefully.

Du Lingshi frowned, and then said loudly: "Bigui, you go and call Miss over!"

De Bigui, who had been standing aside, heard this, and respectfully withdrew.

At this time, Orange Luo was in the room, and persuaded Du Zilin bitterly: "Miss, you have just come back from the Guogong Mansion, you should go to Madame's first!"

Du Zilin, who was lying on the bed, heard this, and shouted: "Don't go, don't go, just don't go, why do I want to go? Needless to say, my eldest brother must have gone to sue, and my mother must have reprimanded me, so why should I go?

Orange Luo sighed, seeing Du Zilin like this, she was also helpless: "Miss, Madame loves you so much, how can she scold you?" Besides, Miss Xiang's maidservant fell into the water, and it's not your fault, it's someone framing you, isn't it? Miss, you show Madame the shoe print of the shirt, and she will know." As for what Miss Doi said, you just didn't hear it. Miss, the banquet in this mansion is nothing, you have to think about it, next, in the twenty-sixth year, there will be a palace banquet, that is the moment when the young lady shows her great talent. As long as the young lady behaves well and can be appreciated by the queen mother, it will not be easy to find a good family affair when the time comes? Now the young lady only needs to go to the lady's side and talk about it well. Doesn't Madame think about it for Miss? As long as Madame wants Miss to attend the palace banquet, there is definitely a way. You must know that Madame is the young lady of this Hou Mansion, and in this capital, there are still a few good handkerchiefs. ”

Du Zilin, who was still in a temper tantrum, raised her head in surprise when she heard this, and looked at Orange Rose: "What you said is true?

"Unless someone doesn't want Miss to participate, if Madam wants Miss to participate, there will naturally be a way. Besides, the matter of this palace banquet was heard by the slave maid in the Guogong Mansion today, and the news is absolutely correct. Miss, don't lose a big one because of a small one, pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon. ”

Du Zilin pondered for a moment, then got up, straightened the clothes on her body, and prepared to go out: "You're right, Orange Rose, you take that shirt, let's go!"

"Yes, Miss!" Orange Rose, who heard Du Zilin's words, breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the two arrived at the door, they saw Bigui coming: "Miss, Madame, please come over!"

Because they were all in the Spirit Garden, Du Zilin didn't walk a few steps to arrive. As soon as she entered, she saw Du Ling's calm face, and shouted angrily: "Rebel girl, don't kneel down for me yet!"

Although Du Zilin guessed that Du Ling's would be angry, she didn't expect to be angry like this. Seeing that she was stunned, she was so angry that she said loudly: "Mother, what did I do wrong, why did I become a rebel girl?"

Orange Luo also held the shirt in her hand, and after hearing Du Ling's words, she hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, Miss Xiang's matter, you can't blame Miss, she was framed." Look at the dress, and the footprints. If the slave said something that was not to be heard, if it hadn't been for the young lady standing up, the young lady would have cleared her reputation today. Seriously, it's actually someone who wants to frame Miss. wanted to use Miss's hand to push Miss Xiang into the lake. It's still Miss Clever, stabilized herself, and saved Miss Xiang again. Madam, you see, these footprints are obviously deliberately framed. ”

Orange Luo used to want to divide Du Ling's family and Ling Fenfang, but now the relationship between the two is not as good as before. It was only after arriving in the capital that the relationship between the two eased because the Ling Guo Mansion moved to the capital, and now she only needs to add a fire and pull the previous crack bigger.

When Du Zilin heard Orange Rose's words, she nodded again and again, her voice was full of grievances: "Mother, my sister-in-law doesn't want to see me, my eldest brother is dedicated to my sister-in-law, can you believe what they say? Fortunately, Orange Rose testified to me, otherwise I would not have died unjustly." When Du Yi targeted me, my sister-in-law not only did not help, but stood aside and watched the play. But if she is a little good for me, just when Duyi's cheap girl speaks, she will come to solve the siege. She did this, not the last time I fought with her, and it made her hold a grudge. ”

Du Ling, who was originally angry, heard this, reached out and took the shirt from Orange Luo's hand, and carefully knocked on the shoe print, which was obviously bigger than Du Zilin's three-inch golden lotus. She thought for a while, looked at Orange Rose again, and said, "Take off your shoes, I'll take a look!"

The maidservant's feet belong to the heavenly feet, and they are much larger than the feet of the young lady. Because the maidservants have to do things, if it is a three-inch golden lotus, it will make them unable to go far and do things.

Orange Rose's feet are naturally natural, but she was born with small feet, and those small feet are slightly bigger than Du Zilin. After hearing Du Ling's words, he knew her suspicions. Immediately, he took off his shoes and put them in his hands.

Du Lingshi only needed a glance to see it. The feet of the orange rose are much smaller than this shoe print. Originally, she was only a little skeptical, but now she was completely relieved.

I secretly sighed in my heart, what the hell was I thinking. After this orange rose was saved by Zilin, she has been dedicated to her wholeheartedly since then, and orange luo will definitely not betray Zilin.

Before Du Lingshi could speak, Du Zilin was stunned by her mother's actions. I saw her jumping to her feet and said, "Mother, what do you want? Even if the whole Du Mansion will frame me, she will definitely not, how can you suspect her? Today, Orange Rose was originally walking behind me, but it was squeezed away by other people, which is obvious that they want to frame me." Mother, you can doubt anyone, but you must not doubt orange dill. ”

Orange Rose, who lowered her head, heard this, and looked up at Du Zilin with a little grateful. This made Du Zilin, who originally defended her, even more proud. As long as Orange Rose followed her with all her heart, then what if she said a few words of maintenance.

"Okay, don't I want to see how big the shoes are wearing for Orange Rose?" Du Lingshi felt a little unhappy about his baby daughter, for a girl and her big voice.

But after thinking about it, this way she can make Orange Rose more desperate for her daughter, and the anger in her heart has dissipated a little.

"Let's not talk about it. What your eldest brother said, what did you lie about, let that cheap girl debunk it, what's the matter?"

Du Zilin originally thought that this matter was revealed like this, but she would have thought that her mother would ask from this. suddenly remembered Orange Rose's words, so he lowered his head and said coquettishly: "Mother, people know it's wrong." It's not that you don't know, I don't have a good impression of that cheap girl. As soon as they saw her, they couldn't help but look for trouble. But people have learned a lesson today, and they will definitely not be next time. No, there is no next time. Mother, you put out the fire!"

Du Zilin's words were rarely convinced, which made Du Ling's family extremely useful. This girl can say such a thing, it seems that she just went back to reflect on it.

"Do you really know it's wrong?" Although I already believed it in my heart, I still had to hear Du Zilin's answer in person.

As soon as Du Zilin heard the voice, she knew that Du Lingshi was not angry. It seems that what Orange Rose said is really good, as long as it is soft.

"Mother, it's true, people really know it's wrong. Didn't my mother say that when I came back today, I would go to my grandmother's side to admit my mistake? My daughter is so old, how can she still be ignorant!"

Du Lingshi nodded, patted her hand and said, "Now that you know, it's good." As for someone framing you, Huihui will talk to your brother about it. During this time, you must not quarrel with him, and it is not long before the start of the exam. ”

Du Zilin, who was still counting on Du Zhigao to increase her chips, nodded when she heard this. Then he said: "Mother, you don't know how hateful Du Yi's cheap girl is." People danced so that those people were stunned, but when she didn't come, she chose when people dared to end. Fortunately, she came with her aunt, and the regent happened to have something to do to find her aunt, so he attracted everyone's attention. In the end, all the aura of the talent competition was taken away by others, and these should have belonged to the daughter. ”

When Du Zilin said this, she took the embroidered handkerchief in her hand as Du Yi, and squeezed it tightly, eager to pinch Du Yi to death.

When Du Lingshi heard this, he didn't get angry, but said earnestly: "You are your aunt's niece, and your aunt specially took her there to support her." You're a stupid girl, and you're stupid enough to bump into it. She's not easy to mess with. Now that you have your aunt's backing, it's even harder to deal with. Didn't my mother tell you to be a little restless? Why are you still so anxious? Forget about this matter today, and wait until your eldest brother finishes the exam. During this time, when you see her, you can hide as far as you can, you know?"

Du Ling didn't plan to do it herself, she just waited for her aunt to come forward to clean up Du Yi. Now when she comes to the capital, she wants reputation. The reason why she endured it for so long was not for Du Zhigao, everything was just waiting for him to finish the exam, so she didn't need to endure it anymore.

Du Zilin was a little depressed, forget it, she will endure it for a few days for the time being.

Suddenly remembering something, a blush floated on Du Zilin's face, and she said to Du Lingshi a little delicately: "Mother, I heard that there will be a palace banquet in five days, can my daughter go to participate?"

"Gong Yan? Do you want to go? No, you tell your mother honestly, do you have a crush on which son?" Du Ling's originally wanted to say that if Ling Yang's was willing to take her, it would naturally be no problem. But when I suddenly thought of the delicate voice of my precious daughter just now, I felt something different.

"Mother......" Du Zilin was a little embarrassed, thinking of the handsome face of Ziyi City, her heart beat wildly. She didn't know what was wrong, but at that glance, she had already taken a look. This is a little different from Ling Qixuan's feeling.

"My mother's daughter is also older, and it's time to start a family. If it weren't for the sudden death of the emperor, I am afraid that now I am afraid that I would also be a wife and a daughter-in-law. Come, tell my mother, which son-in-law you fell in love with, and if you look back, your mother will definitely let you get her wish!"

Those who can go to the Guogong Mansion today are all in this capital, with identity and status. Generally, they are sons of concubines, and there are very few concubines who participate. If Zi Lin can climb into a good family, it will also be a great foil to their Du Mansion.

The flush on Du Zilin's face became deeper and deeper, and there was a delicate smile on the corner of her mouth: "Mother, yes...... It's the Regent!"

Du Ling, who had already listened attentively, stood up suddenly after hearing this, and asked with a solemn face: "Niang didn't hear it, you say it again, who is it?"

Du Zilin looked inexplicable, saw her mother's actions, let go of the shyness in her heart, and said: "It's the regent, my daughter has taken a fancy to him, and he won't marry in this life." The daughter thinks that only a man like this can be worthy of a daughter!"

"No, whoever you want to marry or who you like, my mother doesn't care, but he can't. Du Ling's heart was anxious and angry, this girl didn't look good, but she fell in love with the regent.

"Mother, you don't have to say so much, my daughter has already decided, I want to marry him, even if it is for a concubine, my daughter is willing!"

Du Zilin remembered what those daughters said, Ziyi City has not had a single woman in the palace until now. Only a man like him who is clean and self-loving can be worthy of her. She felt that Zi Yicheng might be waiting for her, looking for a beautiful girl like her.

"Don't say this kind of thing again in the future, this thing is impossible, you give me this heart as soon as possible. In the future, I will find your marriage for you, and you just have to wait for the marriage with peace of mind. Orange Rose, send Miss back! No, go directly to Moon Garden. ”

After Du Lingshi finished speaking, he directly began to pick people up. When he saw Du Zilin reluctantly walking away, he walked back and forth in the room uneasily.

If Zi Yifeng knew that their daughter liked Ziyi City, I am afraid that they would not give them a good life. It is estimated that before Zi Lin has anything to do with Zi Yi City, their family is already living in dire straits.

She returned to the capital for a few days, and she heard a lot of things. Not to mention that Zi Yicheng is the opposite of the sixth prince, just because he is in his twenties and is still single, there must be something wrong with his body, and she will never marry her daughter to such a person.

Aside from this factor, now that the situation between the DPRK and China is unclear, they are on the side of the sixth prince, Zi Yifeng. Once it is discovered that they have a change in their hearts, there is no doubt that there is no need to wait for Ziyi Zi Yifeng to make any moves, and the Guogong Mansion will not let them go first.

Du Zilin walked sullenly on the way to the Moon Garden, looked at Orange Rose, and said in a low voice: "Orange Rose, do you also think the regent is not good?"

Regarding this question, orange pear cannot but answer, whether it is good or not. After thinking about it, he said: "Miss, the slave maid doesn't know if the regent is good or not, the slave maid heard that the regent likes male style." It's been more than 20 years, and I'm still alone, and I'm surrounded by men. Miss, what kind of noble status does the regent have, what kind of woman will he want? But now that there are none of these, we can't rule out some rumors. ”

Orange Luo knew about Du Yi and Zi Yicheng, she felt that she couldn't say that he was bad, so she could only use what she heard to dispel Du Zilin's thoughts. It's not that she looks down on Du Zilin, it's that Du Zilin doesn't know how many pounds and taels she weighs, and she is very narcissistic all day long, thinking that she is the most beautiful and best in the world.

When Du Zilin heard Orange Rose's words, she thought about it and felt that it made sense. But he still asked with some uncertainty: "Are you sure he really likes men?" Maybe he's been looking for a woman who is worthy of him. He's so different, so good. I feel that looking at the entire Purple Moon Country, only I can be worthy of such a man. ”

Hearing this, Orange Rose forced a smile and said, "Miss, there are many things that can't be said well." The slave and maid say something that is contrary to the ear, if the young lady is not happy, the slave and the maid will be punished by you, and the slave and the maid will never complain. The slave maid thinks that if the regent is really interested in the young lady, how can he not look good when the young lady is performing and dancing?

Du Zilin knew that what Orange Rose said was the truth, and she was still dreaming of beauty, but when she heard this, her originally unhappy face instantly sank.

If Zi Yicheng really looked at her in his eyes, it was indeed as Orange Luo said, and he would never have made such a move. As soon as the banquet ended, she took the lead and left, not to mention giving her any hints.

After half a ring, Du Zilin said sullenly: "Then, what do you think of the Sixth Prince?"

Throughout the banquet, Du Zilin's eyes were on these two people. The sixth prince Zi Yifeng is good-looking, but it's a pity that he has a concubine. But if it's compared to a person who has a habit of breaking sleeves, it seems to be a normal thing to have a concubine.

"The sixth prince, the slave maid thinks that the sixth prince is like a normal man. Handsome in appearance, noble in status, kind in person, and even in demeanor, it is much better than the other one. Today in the Guogong Mansion, the young lady also saw that the sixth prince is easy-going, and he can talk to anyone. People like this are popular. And the regent, from beginning to end, also talked to his uncle and wife, and the rest of the time, he didn't say a word. Miss, the slave maid felt that it was really boring to live with such a person, and there was no one to talk to. ”

Du Zilin thought about it and felt that it was right. A person like Zi Yicheng would really be very tired to live with him. Maybe at first, you will feel that everything is good. But if he doesn't like you, and he approaches you and doesn't talk to you, it's not a good feeling.

Orange Luo felt that it was best to send Du Zilin and Zi Yifeng to the pile, and when the time came, they would clean up together. In addition, if Du Zilin went to the Six Princes' Mansion, she would definitely be able to stir it into a pot of porridge. And before that, she must get out first, she doesn't want to go over as a dowry girl.

"Orange Luo, you say, can I marry the sixth prince as a side concubine?" Du Zilin thought, if she can be a side concubine, if something happens to the little emperor and the regent has no heirs, then the sixth prince will naturally be able to succeed to the throne, and she is a high concubine.

When I thought about it, I felt that it would not be so good to marry the regent. She just wants to stand in that kind of high position, so that everyone can look up to her. And before she didn't like it, a will, she could execute them.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was right to marry Zi Yifeng, a man like Zi Yicheng was not worthy of her at all. Even, thinking of Ziyicheng's handsome face, he unconsciously and a little disdainful.

On the outskirts of the capital.

"Ru'er, bear with me, it'll be here soon!" Du Heng sat in the carriage, looking at the person who was blue from the cold and a little shivering, and hugged her tightly in his arms in distress.

"Master, how long will it take? Ru'er is so cold, so cold!" Liu Ru wanted to return to the capital, and after taking Du Heng back to Du Mansion from outside, he told him that Du Zhigao was going to participate in the Spring Festival next year, and with his father by his side, he would definitely be able to pass the exam.

In addition, Du Ling's and Du Zilin and others have gone, so it makes no sense for him, the father, to ignore this matter. In addition, there are also people who have moved out of Duyi, and there are only two people in Dufu for the New Year this year, which is not like a word.

And Du Heng took into account that the Ling Guo Mansion had moved back to the capital, and now he had to go to the capital to talk to Zi Yifeng about the income of the shop, and by the way, he asked him to give him a year or two of recuperation time, and after he recovered, how to give it at that time, or how to give it.

In addition, this Du Yi rarely went to the Hou Mansion, and he was a little worried, so he had to go over and see it in person. Anyway, we can't let Du Yi be harmed by Du Ling's aunt now.

He knew that Du Ling's taking Du Yi to the capital this time was definitely uneasy and kind. And he was going to stop it, and he couldn't let it happen.

"Madam, let's take a sip of hot tea!" Xiao Ya took a cup of water warm with a charcoal fire and handed it to Liu Ruye. It's freezing outside, and when the young lady arrives at this season, her legs are sore and sometimes she can't walk. This made her come to the capital, which was really difficult for her.

"Ru'er, drink more hot water first, and you will be at the city gate immediately. "Du Heng has the token given by Zi Yifeng, even if the city gate is closed, he can enter.

It's just that it's so late, and I have to go to the Hou Mansion, I didn't say anything in advance, I don't know if Ling'er will make arrangements.

Liu Ru's legs were sore, her whole body was cold, and her whole body was in pain. Just to be able to go back to the capital, it's all worth it. She's coming back, coming back to see her home, where her siblings are.

The steward in the other carriage didn't know why, and the closer he got to the capital, the more uneasy he felt in his heart. But he couldn't say what he was worried about.

The carriage gradually approached the city gate, and with Zi Yifeng's token, it quickly entered the capital. Although the city gate has been closed and there are scattered snowflakes in the sky, there are still people coming and going on the streets, and it is obvious why the capital can be called prosperous.

"Master, Ru'er is so tired, I really want to rest, when can we go to the Hou Mansion? Master, you say, will my sister not want to see Ru'er? Otherwise, let's stay at the guest house today, and when it dawns tomorrow, let's go back to the Hou Mansion?"

Liu Ru said this cautiously, wanting to go to the Hou Mansion, but he was afraid that Du Ling's family would be unhappy, so he was so entangled.

"Since we are all here, there is no reason to go to the guest house, let's go, let's go to the Hou Mansion!" As Du Yi thought, Du Heng was guarding against Liu Ruyi. He was afraid that if he lived outside, he would give Hui Liu Ru an opportunity to reveal his news to the people in Ziyi City.

In the Shan Garden, Ziding held a small note in his hand, walked up to Du Yi, who was about to fall asleep, and whispered: "Miss, Lu Liu, Liu Su Niang and Xiao Shi have followed Liu Ru to the capital." Liu Ru and Du Heng will go to the Hou Mansion later, they are outside the city and can't get in. ”

When Doe heard this, he was surprised. Before she left, there was a message to Green Willow, so that she had something to contact with Liu Rus. Now that they have arrived in the capital, are all the people in Du Mansion planning to come to the capital for the New Year?

If that's the case, it couldn't be better. When the time comes, find an opportunity to catch them all. Even if they fail to achieve their goals, they can be demoralized.

"Take my waist card and let the secret guard take people to the Yiji Restaurant to settle down. This matter must be done more secretively, here is no better than Fengcheng, everything is careful is the best policy. ”

Du Yi said, taking out the waist card that Ling Yuanfan left for her before leaving tonight, she didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly. Fortunately, it was given by Ling Yuanfan, if it was from Ziyi City, she really wouldn't dare to use it.

Zi Yifeng must have sent someone to keep an eye on his every move all the time, once he uses Zi Yicheng's waist card, he will be known within a night.

And the one given by Ling Yuanfan was given by the Ministry of War, that is, Lin Heru gave it to her. After going around like this, Zi Yifeng would not be too sensitive to pay so much attention.

"Yes!" Ziding took the other and left, and Duyi's sleepiness disappeared.

In the Moon Garden, Du Zilin knelt in the living room of Mrs. Qiuyue hungry and copied the female ring. When she put down the pen, her legs were numb.

"Grandmother, after they copied it, they really knew that it was wrong, this is the female ring copied by others, please take a look!" Du Zilin learned to be obedient at this time, and did not dare to show her dissatisfaction at all. Holding the copied female ring in her hand, she blew it and handed it to Mrs. Qiuyue.

Lady Qiuyue just glanced at it, and then said, "Let's go back first, remember not to be so impulsive next time." ”

"Yes, Zilin remembers her grandmother's teachings!" Du Zilin said this, bowed, and left with the orange rose.

When they were far away and couldn't see the Moon Garden, Orange Luo carried the lamp and said to Du Zilin: "Miss is hungry? Soon we will arrive at the Spirit Garden, and later the slave will go to the kitchen to get some simple pastries and fill Miss first." ”

"At this time, how can you not be hungry. It's because she's still my grandmother, and she doesn't know that she feels sorry for me. I didn't even give a bite of food, and I was going back hungry, and I didn't treat a subordinate like that. I have never seen anyone who is a grandmother, and she has to punish her granddaughter for copying the female ring, and she has to write it on her knees, and the real meat is not her own, and she doesn't know how distressed. It's freezing on this day, and if she breaks my kneeling leg, how can she afford to pay for it? It's just an aunt, and she calls her grandmother, and she still can afford to look up to her. ”

Orange Luo hurriedly looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, she patted her chest and said, "Miss, you are really scared to death." Although I can't see the road in the dark, I can't say this kind of thing outside. Lady Qiuyue is Madame's aunt no matter what. You are outside here, you have to call her Mrs. Qiuyue immediately. This grandmother can't scream, and if they let their uncle and wife find out, it won't be like this. ”

Du Zilin is already dreaming of a concubine, where can she take care of so much. She wondered if she should write a letter back to her father. Tell his father what she thinks, and he will need her father's help when the time comes. On her mother's side, these days, it's still boring not to go to herself.
