after rebirth

The small courtyard where Du Jinrong lives has a small door that can be directly entered and exited, without having to go through the gate of Anwuhou Mansion, which is considered convenient.The courtyard was very small, and the sky seen from the small courtyard was also narrow and constricted. It wasn't that Du Hekun wanted to torture Du Jinrong in these aspects, but that he really couldn't find a bigger courtyard to house Du Jinrong and his family.Du Hekun is good at franchising, and money is always needed to make a relationship. If it is too little, it will not look good, and if it is too much, it will not be able to pay. In fact, Marquis An Wu has always been in a situation where he cannot make ends meet.

The title of Marquis Anwu should have belonged to Du Jinrong, but when Du Kun died, Du Jinrong was young, Du Hekun left his relationship, and through the hands of Deng Sheng and others, he begged for the grace of Emperor Xuan. Inheriting the title is also justified.However, if you get in touch with the old Hou Ye's attitude towards Du Hekun and Du Hekun's own personality, you probably won't think so. It is true that Du Hekun is not a good successor, and the glory of An Wuhou will be defeated by him sooner or later.

Old Hou Ye, that is, Du Jinrong's grandfather, had no choice but to marry his successor, Mrs. Ye after the death of his first wife. Mrs. Ye is a daughter of a small family. Family, her little cleverness is not enough at all.The old Hou Ye didn't like Mrs. Ye, except for the rare few times when he shared the bed, he never stepped into Mrs. Ye's room again. Mrs. Ye's stomach was considered to be up to date, and within three years of marrying into the Mrs. Du Hekun.

The old Hou Ye's heart has already followed the original wife to death, and then he put all his expectations on the eldest son Du Kunqian, and adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards the second son. Anyway, he would not expect the second son to become a nobleman and make any great achievements.But Mrs. Ye didn't think so. She thought that her son had the same possibility of becoming a prince, even better than Du Hegan.Day and night, she complained in front of Du Hekun about the unfairness of God towards her, her husband's lack of love for her, and her stepson's unfilial piety towards her. God knows that the old Hou Ye has not given her love, but she has everything that a hostess of the Hou Mansion should have. up.

As I said before, the Ye family came from a small family, with narrow vision, and what he knows is all about cleverness and tricks. Du Hekun is also a short-sighted, big-eyed, empty-minded, and penny-pinching person. Learned nothing.When Du Hekun was still there, Du Hekun had no chance to stand up. Du Hekun was gone. Could it be that Du Hekun couldn't even deal with an underage child?Du Hekun's death could not have been done without Du Hekun's hands and feet.

Colluding with the elders of the Du family clan, through the hands of Deng Sheng and others, Du Hekun became the master of Anwuhou Mansion.Du Hekun's ability to give birth to children is similar to his ability to specialize in his business. The aunts carry houses to the Hou's mansion year after year, and a large group of concubines and concubine girls are born. Du Hekun's wife is also a character, with four sons and two daughters. , Du Hekun has too many children.

They have to socialize outside, maintain the face of the princes of the aristocratic family, and support so many mouths, how can the Anwuhou mansion get the money.

"My lord, are you back?" As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old drying clothes in pink clothes and skirts. When she saw Du Jinrong come back, she cried out happily. There were two small faces on her face. The pear vortex is very cute and delicate.

Hearing the call of the girl in pink, Uncle Zhao, a middle-aged man who was using a stove to boil water, and a tall and strong man who was carrying water came out to meet him. The man was wearing brown shorts and looked very capable. His name was Hao Ren, and the girl in pink was him. His sister, named Hao Yi, the two of them were rescued by Du Jinrong on the battlefield, and they have been following Du Jinrong ever since. Du Jinrong, no matter how much credit he has made, he will not be rewarded with a corresponding official position.

The middle-aged man is Uncle Zhao, Du Jinrong's father Du Heqian's personal attendant when he was alive. If he hadn't dealt with Du Hekun, then Du Jinrong would not have just been given to Zhao Hengxu by Du Hekun. Benefit.

"Young master." Uncle Zhao is not married, and he treats Du Jinrong as his own child, with the love of an elder on his ordinary face.

"Uncle Zhao." Du Jinrong smiled lightly, seeing that Uncle Zhao and Hao Ren, brothers and sisters, were in the calm and peaceful environment of their family members, and they could temporarily put aside the turmoil of the outside world.

Du Jinrong knew each other well for Uncle Zhao, Hao Ren, Cai Jie, and Liang Shiwei. When they were about to enter the room to talk, a boy in gray clothes rushed over through the corner door, "Young Master Du, Master Hou is here to invite you."

Uncle Zhao looked at Du Jinrong, his worry was palpable, Du Jinrong smiled and comforted him, "I'll come as soon as I go, nothing will happen."

"The servant girl will go with the young master."

Du Jinrong wanted to decline, but Cai Jie had a serious expression on his face. He felt that if he refused, there would be serious consequences. He nodded helplessly, and Du Jinrong took Cai Jie to Songtao Residence in the main courtyard.Cai Jie is calm, introverted and speaks little. Few people know her, so Du Jinrong doesn't have to worry about being recognized by others when he brings her. Cai Cai is someone close to Zhao Hengxu.

In Songtao Residence, Du Jinrong stood in the hall with his hands down, all kindness and tenderness disappeared completely, his whole person seemed indifferent and silent, repelling others thousands of miles away, Du Hekun in the first seat drank tea with drooping eyes, also silent, The obese woman sitting next to him is his wife, Xiaoye. She is not as full of jewels as usual, and she is very neatly dressed. After thinking about it, it is clear that the empress is gone. Although the emperor did not mourn the public, the courtiers always have to express their attitude .Mrs. Xiaoye is the daughter of Mrs. Ye's main family, and her status is much higher than Mrs. Ye's. The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are at odds with each other.

"Your child is just a piece of wood. Are you still complaining about your uncle and aunt? Alas, uncle and aunt can't do anything about it. After all, hehe." The autumn mood is strong, Xiaoye is still holding a brocade fan, and when she laughs, she picks up the fan Covering his mouth and nose, with a malicious and mocking smile in his eyes, "Hehe, if your uncle hadn't sent you to the emperor, you wouldn't be able to become a capable person for His Majesty, don't you think so?"

Du Jinrong looked at the green bricks on the ground and said nothing.

When Xiaoye was young, she looked good. As she grew older and had more children, her figure became round like an inflated balloon. Now the round face and facial features have sunk into the flesh. In the eyes, the eyes appear to be smaller, and when they turn around, they are full of calculating light.Playing with the round fan in his hand, Mrs. Xiaoye said slowly: "I am worried that you will not have a good future, but your uncle tried his best to send you to His Majesty's side, so that you can increase your knowledge, so that you can earn fame and have a good future. Seeing that you are so good now, we are worthy of your dead father. After you return to Beijing, it is your uncle who pities you because you have no place to live, and does not despise your status. Oh, good boy, let’s not talk about it. , your uncle was worried about you, moved you out of the yard for you to live in, and gave you money for you to spend."

Cai Jie raised his eyes and looked at the wonderful Xiao Ye who he said to himself, his eyes were indifferent.

Xiaoye's small eyes stood up, and she pointed with her fat finger, "Okay, what a slave, you dare to be rude to the mistress, please drag me out to teach me the rules."

The maidservant behind Xiaoye's knees should be, rolled up her sleeves and was about to go out with Cai Cai to teach Cai Cai the rules.Du Jinrong took a step forward, stood in front of Cai Jie, and looked straight at Du Hekun who was sitting in the main seat.

"Nonsense." The cup slammed on the table, Cherry was startled, and stopped halfway without retreating.

Xiao Ye waved her hand impatiently, "If you don't have the rules, quickly back down." His eyes were on Du Jinrong, and the contempt in his eyes was undisguised.

"Yes." The maid named Cherry nodded hastily and retreated.

"Jinrong, don't blame your aunt, she just respects the rules, but your maid should take good care of you, your status is unusual, and the maid who doesn't know the rules can easily cause trouble for you." Du Hekun's words meant Du Jinrong is a close minister of the emperor, so he has an unusual status, but with Xiao Ye's foreshadowing, his words changed their flavor.

Du Jinrong remained silent and looked at Du Hekun silently. Du Hekun and his father were brothers from the same father, but they didn't imagine it. The so-called mutuality comes from the heart, and Du Hekun's face naturally took on the look of power and villainy. It's not as clear and clear as the breeze and the moon like his father.

Du Hekun's hands hidden in his sleeves gradually tightened, and he managed to control his emotions. Du Jinrong's eyes were too similar to Du He's. Self-restraint, deeply suppressing the disgust in my heart, there are more important things to do, "Jinrong, you are by His Majesty's side, do you know something, you also know what happened on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet..." Du Hekun paused here After a pause, "Did Your Majesty say anything?"

"No." Du Jinrong said simply and clearly.

Du Hekun choked, he didn't just want these things, "Jin Rong might as well say more, you also know that uncle is an official in the court, and uncle has experienced previous courts, so it is inevitable that His Majesty will... For the sake of uncle, and also for the good of the Du family." Well, the Du family is well, you have someone to rely on, your brother and nephew will take care of you for the rest of your life, and won't dislike your status, so Jin Rong might as well talk a little bit more, so uncle can make preparations."

From Du Hekun's point of view, the only thing Du Jinrong can rely on is His Majesty's love. Without love, Du Jinrong is nothing. What kind of future is there for a man who has been a male favorite? The only thing he can rely on is the Du family and Anwuhou's mansion In order to make the rest of his life better, Du Jinrong should understand that helping him is the best choice.

Du Jinrong was silent, no emotion could be seen on his indifferent face.

The flesh on Xiaoye's round, white and chubby face trembled. He really couldn't stand Du Jinrong's look of a dead pig who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. , What a white-eyed wolf."
