When the speaker walks away, Du Zhen comes out from behind the rockery. Does her father want to take a concubine? Why didn't she know about such a big thing?
And if her father really wants to take a concubine, her fourth aunt, who has always disliked her, should come to her immediately and tell her.
Du Zhen looked towards the west courtyard. It seemed that the Fourth Aunt's place had been quite quiet recently.
Several of her uncles were separated by her grandfather after they got married, and they ran the Du family's business in different places. Apart from her father, the Du family was now the fourth uncle whom her grandfather loved most.
And the fourth aunt always felt that her father had no son, and the Du family should be given to their fourth room. It was her grandmother who kept suppressing her, so the fourth aunt didn't make too much trouble. However, the fourth aunt didn't think about it. The fourth uncle obviously always thought about the imperial examination. .
The fourth uncle has always been very kind to her, but the fourth aunt he married was not very kind. He taught her embroidery when he first got married the year before last, but later he learned that her grandmother didn't like her, so he ignored her.
Last year, I gave birth to my seventh cousin, and I am no longer as polite and respectful to my grandmother as before.
Aunt Mo once told her that although the fourth aunt was the daughter of the fourth uncle's teacher, the fourth uncle's teacher always felt that women should not be literate. Reading and literacy would make a woman heartless, and she would not be able to care for her husband and raise her children with peace of mind, which would harm the harmony of the family. Unfavorable, so the fourth aunt has been doing embroidery and cooking since elementary school, but she doesn't know a single word.
She was quite shocked when she heard it at the time. Aunt Mo also said to her at the time, "If people don't read and read, they will become shallow. She must go to school obediently."
Du Zhen didn't want to become shallow and annoying, so she never got tired of going to school. Du Zhen thought about her fourth aunt, and when she returned to the yard, she saw her fourth aunt sitting in the hall drinking tea.
Bitao was standing next to her with an embarrassed look on her face. Du Zhen hurriedly walked in and heard the fourth aunt say to Bitao: "When the outer room comes in, your lady will not be the only lady in the big room. Running around like this, there is no one to protect you."
"Fourth Aunt, what are you talking about?" Du Zhen couldn't listen anymore.
"Hey, our eldest lady is back."
Seeing Du Zhen come back, Mrs. Duan raised her eyes and glanced at the maids behind Du Zhen, and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, when your father takes over the outer room, you won't be your father's only daughter." , as the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, Zhenzhen, you can't run around like a wild child in the future without taking your maid with you."
"Can't you learn from your mother's running around?"
"Fourth Aunt, I call you Fourth Aunt because I respect you as my elder. I hope you can act like an elder. Otherwise, I don't mind going to my grandparents and saying it." Du Zhen looked up at her little face. Afraid of Duan, he looks quite majestic.
Before Duan got married, she heard about Du Zhen's mother. At that time, she lamented that her uncle was so affectionate and loyal. Su Jin even ran away, but he still refused to abandon her and refused to marry her.
Who would have thought that it turned out that the family had raised an aunt outside, and that aunt was pregnant with a son and a daughter. The older one was only one year younger than Du Zhen, and the younger one was only three years older than Du Zhen.
How ridiculous.
Duan stood up and looked down at Du Zhen, with an inexplicable smile on her face. She said, "Your grandparents asked you to be the eldest daughter of the Du family for the sake of your maternal family. Do you really think they love you? These days Years of indifference haven’t made you understand?
Wake up, your father is the only one in the whole house who really cares about you, but when your father has other children, will he still love you so much? After all, you have a shameless mother. She has embarrassed your father and the Du family. When you have a new child, will you still be the pampered eldest daughter of the Du family? "
"Miss, your mother abandoned her husband and daughter and eloped with others. Such a woman is the most despised. If you compare her to goods, she is the least valuable.
And as her daughter, without the protection of your father, you are like this dust, not worth mentioning. "Ms. Duan knelt down, looked at Du Zhen's tearful eyes, and spoke word by word.
She touched the ground lightly with her finger and put it in front of Du Zhen's eyes. There was a hazy layer of dust on the white and tender fingertips. She wiped it gently with a handkerchief. There was nothing left, but the white handkerchief became dirty. Sewage.
"Because you have a mother like that, you are like this stained handkerchief in front of your father, and you are easily thrown away." Duan smiled meanly, not caring that the only person hurt was an eight-year-old child.
"You lied, my father will never want me, and my mother is not a commodity." Du Zhen pushed Duan hard and ran out.
"Miss..." Bi Tao shook off the two maids holding her and followed her.
The two maids who had been thrown away by Bitao rushed over to help Duan up, and heard Duan curse in a low voice: "Wild girl."
"Madam, how are you? Did you fall anywhere?"
"I'm fine, but something will happen to the big house soon." Duan said bitterly.
"This fourth master is determined to take the imperial examination. Madam, can you do this?" the maid in green said cautiously.
"Imperial examination, hey, he has not passed the examination twice. My father said that he is not talented. He might as well live guarding the Du family's property. My brother Hao will not be able to look like his cousins in the future. Live your life with other people's faces." Mrs. Duan said bitterly, not paying attention to what the maid in green wiped on her hands, and walked out with a flick of her sleeves.
She came here specifically to irritate Du Zhen today, just to wait for her to cause trouble, and wait for the big room to become chaotic, so that she could reap the benefits.
In a teahouse in Xishui Town, Su Jin was sitting in a private room on the third floor, drinking tea slowly and looking out the window.
Ling Xiao, who was impatient with waiting, took another sip of tea, but it was still bitter. When he came to Su Jin's side, he looked out the window like her. They were all ordinary people, nothing interesting to see.
"You come here to sit here for three or four hours every day, but what do you do?" Ling Xiao asked.
In the past three years, Su Jin taught him the mental swordsmanship, and he taught Su Jin the medical and poison skills.
Su Jin didn't seem to be very patient, but he had to work all night and day to learn medical and poison skills. He was so tired that he wished he could replace Suning and go out to find beggars and come back to learn martial arts.
Finally, Su Jin succeeded in his studies, and the Nameless Medicine Valley gradually became famous as a new group of disciples traveled out, so Su Jin brought him to Xishui Town.
Suning was also asked to go to the Du family to inquire about information and see how the young lady of the Du family was doing.
Originally, he thought Su Jin missed his daughter, but he hadn't seen her make any other moves for so many days, just sitting here every day.
He really couldn't figure it out, and was even curious about what Su Jin was thinking, and asked her husband to go to her ex-husband's house to visit her and her ex-husband's daughter.
Anyway, he couldn't figure it out and didn't want to think about it anymore. He now wanted to go back to Wuming Valley and see the little poisonous insects he had managed to raise in the past few years. For this reason, he was willing to stay up all night with Su Jin to learn medical skills.
"Su Jin, learning medical skills requires persistence. Giving up midway is the most taboo thing. You haven't learned anything new in the past few days, right?"
"Do you have anything new for me to learn?" Su Jin asked doubtfully.
Ling Xiao:......
"Junjun..."
Su Jin looked up and saw that it was Suning, "How is it? Is Zhen Zhen having a comfortable stay at the Du family?"
