130. The family has long been poor

Du did not forget to miss Tang Yin with Meijiao for a while.

Du did not forget to find that Tang Yin's tomb was very simple, just a small dirt bag, and the tomb plate was almost decayed, so he said to Mei Jiao:

"Mei Jiao, can I borrow some money from you to use it well?"

Mei Jiao replied:

"You actually say such things, isn't my money your money? You haven't eaten me and drunk me all the way, if you talk about borrowing in the future, be careful that I ignore you!"

Then he asked:

"Brother Du, what do you want money for?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"I want to rebuild this cemetery for Brother Tang Yin, I feel that this is too simple, and it really insults my Brother Tang Yin's reputation in Suzhou!"

At this time, the aunt on the side said goodbye to Du and the two of them were ready to leave.

Du did not forget to hurriedly follow and asked:

"Auntie, I don't know if you know the whereabouts of Tang Yin's daughter Tang Yan and several maids in the house!"

The aunt said:

"I heard that Tang Yin is now living in this mansion with a maid named Hua Ying, who came not long ago, and I heard that both of them were forced to live in a nearby brothel, alas!"

Du Yi did not forget and asked:

"Auntie, do you know which brothel they are in?"

The aunt touched her head and thought about it, then said:

"It seems to be a newly opened family in the city called Tang Honglou!"

Du did not forget and asked again:

"Auntie, do you know where the two maids in the house went before?"

The aunt replied:

"I heard that after the two of them heard the news of Du Houye's death, they left in a few days, and they didn't know where to go!"

Du did not forget to sigh and said to himself:

"It's all my fault that I'm not angry and hurt these people around me!"

Then he left here with his aunt, and sent his aunt back to a nearby house, and when he returned to his house, he found that the door was open, and Du Yi did not forget to enter the house with Mei Jiao.

At this time, I saw a woman in a long skirt supporting the back of a slender woman and walking in the direction of the hall!

At this time, the two of them seemed to find that someone in the house had come in, so they quickly turned around and were stunned for a moment, these two people were naturally Jacaranda and Tang Yan.

Du Buyi first looked at Tang Yan, and found that Tang Yan at this time was no longer the innocent little girl she was at the beginning, but dressed up as a beautiful young woman who seemed to be a little dignified and skillful, and had a lot of temperament!

At this time, the jacaranda came over first, and said to Du Yiyi and Mei Jiao:

"Who are you, and why did you trespass into our house?"

Du didn't forget to hesitate, and Mei Jiao on the side rushed to reply:

"This is our house, we go back to our own house, how can we trespass without permission!"

The jacaranda then said:

"Don't you know whose mansion this is? This is the mansion of Du Tanhua and Du Houye, you hurry up and let me out!"

Then he came to push the two of them, and Du did not forget to remember that he was still wearing a mask, so he immediately uncovered his mask and said to the jacaranda:

"Jacaranda, don't you remember me?"

At this time, he was shocked and said:

"Are you the ghost of Lord Hou back, don't scare me!"

Then he hurriedly ran back to Tang Yan's side, and pulled Tang Yan, who was also stunned, to run to the hall!

Du didn't forget to chase after him at this time, but he didn't expect to be pulled by Mei Jiao's ears on the side!

Mei Jiao said:

"I didn't think I was with you for so long, you were actually lying to me with a human skin mask!"

Du did not forget to quickly explain:

"You should also know that I have died in the eyes of the world, and wearing this mask is also a last resort!"

At this time, Mei Jiao took a closer look at Du Yi's face and said:

"I didn't expect your real face to look much better than wearing that human skin mask, if you hadn't worn a mask in the first place, I might have taken a fancy to you at first sight!"

Du Bu replied:

"Then aren't you all my women now?"

As the two of them were talking, Tang Yan and Hua Ying came over again, and after getting close to Du Yifu, they looked at them carefully.

It turned out that the two of them were frightened just now, and after running back to the hall, they thought about it and felt that something was wrong, so they mustered up the courage to come back and find out!

Du did not forget to say to Tang Yan first:

"Yan'er, I didn't expect you to become a big beauty now!"

Tang Yan still seemed a little timid and didn't reply, but Hua Ying came over directly and reached out and patted Du Cheng's chest, saying:

"It's true, it's true!"

Then he came directly and hugged Du Buzhi, and then cried and said:

"Master Hou, do you know?

Du Buyi also patted the jacaranda on the shoulder, comforted and said:

"Don't cry, Jacaranda, I'm not back, if you like to call me Gongzi in the future, don't call Hou Ye anymore"

Seeing that the jacaranda nodded, Du did not forget to say to Tang Yan again:

"Yan'er, I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for two years, and you actually look like a big lady!"

Tang Yan only then believed that Du Buyi was alive, and after the jacaranda left Du Bufu, she quickly hugged Du Bufu, shed tears and said:

"Uncle Du, you don't know, although you have been busy outside and rarely go back to Suzhou Mansion to accompany us, but my father and I have always regarded you as the closest person, since my father left, I only have you as a relative!"

Then he said:

"Although you are my father's brother, but in my heart, you have always been my dearest brother, I know that you are an informal person, can I call you Brother Du in the future?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Of course!"

Tang Yan shouted:

"Brother Du!"

Then Du did not forget to let Mei Jiao introduce the two of them, only to hear Mei Jiao introduce herself and say:

"I'm your lord's sister!"

When Tang Yan and Jacaranda listened to Mei Jiao's introduction, they stared at Du Bucheng with their eyes, and Du Buyi was very embarrassed to see it!

Seeing this, Du Bu also understood that the two of them might have guessed their relationship with Mei Jiao, so he said:

"Let's go inside and have a look!"

Then I walked around the house, and found that everything was the same, the room where I had lived before was still empty, as it had been before, and the antiques that I had brought back from the house were still neatly and intact.

When Du Bu Bu walked into the study, he found that in addition to the ones he had brought back before, there were a lot of novel calligraphy and paintings.

Then I flipped through a pair of books that Tang Yin wrote for himself, only to see that it was written:

Brother Tang Yin, Quan Nai, and the younger brother Du did not forget to take it in, so he did not forget his brother's grace, and pretended to make these calligraphy and paintings to be given to his brother in the future

Brother Tang Yin

At this time, Tang Yan came over and said:

"Brother Du, this is my father's painstaking work in the past few years!"

Du Bu carefully flipped through Tang Yin's calligraphy and paintings one by one, and saw the exquisite and refined atmosphere and graceful charm in the paintings, and couldn't help but be full of appreciation and praise, which gradually turned into emotion!

Seeing this, Tang Yin said again:

"Does Brother Du know where my father's grave is?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"I just went to Brother Tang's tomb and came back!"

Then the jacaranda came and said:

"Childe, Miss Tang and Miss Mei Jiao should go to dinner!"

A few people came to the table in the hall, sat down, and prepared to eat!

At this time, Mei Jiao looked at the table, and there was actually a bowl of gruel in each person's bowl, and there were only two plates of green vegetables, so she said:

"I didn't have an appetite, so I went to the garden alone!"

As soon as Mei Jiao left, then the jacaranda said to Du Yi:

"Childe, we ......"

Du did not forget to understand naturally, so he immediately waved his hand, signaled the jacaranda to stop talking, and then he ate the vegetables first, drank a big mouthful of porridge, and said:

"It tastes good!"

Then he motioned for Tang Yan and the jacaranda to eat too.

After a while, I didn't forget to finish the porridge in my bowl, and then drank the coquettish porridge on the side.

The jacaranda then asked:

"Childe, are you full of food like this, if you are hungry, I will go and add some porridge to you!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Jacaranda, you are so delicious, I went to the stove room to add porridge, and then came to the stove room to see that there was only a little rice soup left in the pot, and then I stored the jar next to the stove room to see that it was basically empty, and even the rice in the rice jar bottomed out!"

At this time, when I was about to go out of the stove room, I saw Tang Yan and Hua Yan standing at the door at this time, and Du Yi did not forget to come over and said:

"Why do you have to suffer yourself, if you really have no money, those antiques and valuable calligraphy and paintings can be taken out to the pawnshop for life!"

Then he asked:

"Is that why you committed to a brothel?"

Jacaranda preemptively replied:

"Childe, how can we move your things, we two women can't weave and embroider like others, after being introduced by a nearby son, we have to go into a brothel to make a living!"

Then he explained:

"Miss Tang is just selling talent in a brothel, not what Childe thinks!"

Du Yi did not forget and asked:

"What about you, Jacaranda!"

Jacaranda hesitated for a moment, and replied:

"I'm going to lose my body to that dog Taoist priest anyway, so it doesn't matter if I naturally pick up customers!"

Du said to the two of them:

"You're not allowed to go to the brothel starting today, you know?"

Both of them burst into tears at this time, and Tang Yan, who had never had a chance to speak, said:

"We owe money to the brothel now, and if we don't go, people will come to us!"

Du Yi did not forget and asked:

"How much do you owe?"

Tang Yan replied:

"I owe a total of three hundred taels to the brothel, all of which I owe to the neighbors with Xiaoyi and Xiaoxin before, after Xiaoyi and Xiaoxin left, I and the newly arrived Jacaranda had to beg the brothel to help us pay the one hundred taels owed to the neighbors in order to repay the money!"

Du did not forget to ask again:

"How did a hundred taels become three hundred taels?"

At this time, the jacaranda on the side said:

"Of course, this extra two hundred taels is the interest given to us by the brothel, but the two of us have already repaid six taels of money in exchange for picking up customers and performing arts in the past month!"

Du did not forget to say angrily:

"This brothel is so dark, I'm going to trouble them now!"

At this time, Mei Jiao actually walked over, stopped Du Yifu, and said:

"Isn't it just three hundred taels of silver, I'll go out for them, don't go and make trouble, it can't be okay for people to open a brothel in this bustling Suzhou City, let's make less trouble now!"

Du did not forget, calmed down and said:

"Okay!"

At this time, Tang Yan and Jacaranda hurriedly saluted Mei Jiao and thanked her, and the matter of the previous dinner table disappeared!

Mei Jiao said to Du Yi again:

"I'm still hungry, you go get the money first, go out for a big meal with me, and then let's go find that Tang Honglou!"

Du inconvenient replied:

"Okay!"

Then he took out the big bag of silver and gestures from Mei Jiao, and counted more than three hundred taels.

Seeing that Mei Jiao had so many gold and jade jewelry, the jacaranda on the side asked:

"Mei Jiao girl, I didn't expect that you can have such wealth at such a young age, isn't it a family heirloom!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Meijiao also earns it by her own efforts, how can there be such a good thing as a family heirloom!"

The jacaranda came over and took Mei Jiao's arm and asked:

"I don't know Sister Meijiao, how did you earn it, tell me about it!"

Mei Jiao replied:

"Luck and hard work, if you work hard in the future, you may earn more than me!"

Tang Yan came over at this time and interjected:

"We don't have such a natural beauty as Sister Meijiao!"
