Chapter 828 The Du Fu Family

After listening to Mrs. Hu's words, Feng'er was a little surprised, looked at Tao Bao carefully, then turned to ask the maid beside her, Lu Zhu, and then stepped forward to bless Fushen with a light smile.

"I don't know how old the girl is? Feng'er is fifteen years old this year, so I don't know whether to call her sister or sister."

"I'm eighteen this year, my younger sister can be my older sister." Tao Bao replied without blushing.

Feng'er didn't think there was anything wrong, so she called her sister and asked, "Sister, did you come to find my house on purpose? I don't know who uncle is...?"

"Oh, this, I'll know after meeting Mrs. Du, please forgive me, it's not convenient for me to say it now."

Tao Bao smiled apologetically, took the three catties of Hubing cakes handed over by Aunt Hu, put them into the basket in Feng'er's hand, and said affectionately:
"I don't know where to look, it's great to meet my sister, can I take my sister for a ride?"

Feng'er didn't know how to answer, so she nodded and said, "Of course, sister, please follow me."

Then he ordered to Luzhu: "You go home first and inform your mother that there is a guest at the door."

"Miss, it's not good to leave you alone, isn't it?" Luzhu didn't know Tao Bao's background, and she was very worried. Her lady was innocent, and she was afraid that she would be cheated.

Feng'er understood what she meant, but since her home was not far away, and all the neighbors knew each other, and there were police patrols, she was not afraid of what Tao Bao, a girl, could do to her.

"It's okay, you go back and inform Madam first, so as not to neglect the guests." Feng'er said this again, Luzhu couldn't say more, and walked away first.

Seeing her leave, Feng'er smiled and said to Tao Bao: "Sister, follow Feng'er."

Tao Bao smiled at Mrs. Hu, followed Feng'er and left, and came to Du's mansion.

Although this Du Fu became an official, he was still considered a celebrity in front of the emperor, but he was an upright person who would not accept bribes, and lived with the little salary from the imperial court. Although he lived in a large mansion, there were only four or five servants. The furnishings in the house are also simple.

It looks like a huge mansion from the outside, but once inside, you realize that it is no different from an ordinary people's home.

In the early years, Du Fu's family wandered in the south, and the husband and wife suffered a lot with their children, and they still can't get over it now.

Mrs. Du is only in her 50s, but when she came out, she looked like an old lady.

Originally, everyone was a lady, but now there is only sadness on her face.

On the contrary, her daughter-in-law looks much more dignified.

Du Fu had two sons, named Zong Wen and Zong Wu. Zong Wen was starved to death in Du Fu's early years, and the remaining one, Zong Wu, wandered with his father in the south.

She married the daughter of a junior official of the seventh rank, her boudoir name is Wang Ximei, which can be regarded as a side branch of Wang's surname. Although her father's official position is low, the family power is very powerful.

It is precisely because of this intricate relationship that Du Fu's family regained a firm foothold in Chang'an City.

Compared to the simple clothes of Feng'er and Mrs. Du, the young lady in charge was much more solemn. However, Tao Bao noticed that Mrs. Du only had satisfaction in her eyes, not dissatisfaction, and knew that this young lady was not deliberately treating her mother-in-law and sister-in-law harshly.

It's just that the Du family needed a lady to support their appearance, so they had to dress more magnificently.Otherwise, people will look down upon them.

The two ladies were waiting at the inner door. After all, Lu Zhu said she was here to recognize her relatives. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't guess who it was, but no matter what kind of relatives they came out to welcome, they would not lose their etiquette.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out frequently, and finally saw Feng'er leading a girl in black and Hufu.

At that moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward, because Mrs. Du found that she did not recognize such a relative.

Grandma Du didn't even know it. When she married into the Du family, the Du family didn't tell her that they had other relatives.

However, she has been in charge of the house for many years, and she responded very quickly. While inviting people into the house, she smiled and said kindly.

As a result, everyone went to the main hall, and apart from knowing Tao Bao's name and age, they didn't get anything out.

Mrs. Du was a little annoyed when she didn't come out with words. It can be seen that Tao Bao's dress and conversation didn't want to come to the door to play the autumn wind. Daughter-in-law and daughter talk and laugh.

"Miss Tao, your father is" Wang Ximei looked at Tao Bao suspiciously, leaving half of what she said so as not to be too straightforward.

"Miss Tao, please drink tea!" Luzhu broke the tea and served, Tao Bao took the tea first, and then replied with a smile:

"If Master Du doesn't come back, I hope Tao Bao can't tell."

Wang Ximei frowned slightly, but she forced a smile on her face and asked, "The girl came here alone? Didn't she bring any guards?"

"I'm sorry, Tao Bao can't tell you if Master Du is not coming, please forgive me." Tao Bao replied with a smile.

"Sister Tao, are you sure you came to my house? Why don't you say anything?" Feng'er stared at Tao Bao dissatisfied. Dare to explode.

Mrs. Du's face was already sad, but when she heard Feng'er's question, her heart began to lighten up.

Carefully looking at Tao Bao's face, I felt that her features were somewhat similar to my husband's. When I thought of her attitude, I wanted to wait until Lord Du came to talk about everything, and I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Seeing that she couldn't ask any more questions, Wang Ximei felt annoyed in her heart, she slowly put away her smile, and said with a warning:
"Miss Tao, since you said you came to look for my family, but you refused to reveal even half of your life experience, isn't there something wrong? Could it be that woman who has learned some evil ways and came to deceive my family!"

"You said your surname is Tao, but my family has no relatives named Tao!"

Seeing the eyes of the whole family looking at him become more subtle, Tao Bao coughed twice, smiled and said:

"Mrs. Du, Mrs. Du, Miss Du, I really can't say this in front of you. It's absolutely impossible to say this without seeing Mrs. Du. Please understand."

The three of them looked at each other, and Wang Ximei was just about to take the opportunity to get some other side news when a fat doll in red rolled in from outside the gate.

"Mom! Mom! My daughter is hungry. Where are the Hu Biscuits? My daughter wants to eat Hu Biscuits!"

The chubby baby has a round face, obsidian's big half-black eyes are rolling around, revealing a sense of wit.

He is really white and fat, about three or four years old, wearing red clothes, with a small bun on the top of his head, tied with a red stick, looking very festive.

He opened his hand and rushed towards Wang Ximei, huddled in her arms, and muttered:
"I'm hungry, I want to eat Hubing, I want to eat Hubing!"

After his murmurs, the three of Mrs. Du realized that their family didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so they had to put down the interrogation of Tao Bao's life experience, and ordered the servants to prepare a meal.
