Chapter 1262 Benefiting the common people (3)
Mr. Kong is a great Confucian of the gentry, and his family has a long history. Needless to say, the family tradition of the Kong family.Now that he has made friends with such a wealthy in-law, the emperor asked him to be the secretary of the household department at this time, obviously because he wanted to use the relationship between Mr. Kong and the Hong family to make more money in the land in the south of the Yangtze River.Moreover, Mr. Kong was originally the governor of Jiangsu, and he is quite familiar with the families of merchants and landlords in the Jiangnan area.Now that he has become the Minister of the Ministry of Households, I am afraid that the treasury will no longer be called poor next year.

"That's really double happiness. I wonder if Young Mistress's health is better now?"

When Steward Hong saw Du Ruo asking about it, he also respectfully replied: "Young Mistress's health has improved a lot. The master just solved some housework two days ago, and now Young Mistress may recover sooner."

Liu Qiqiao listened to Steward Hong's cryptic words, but she already vaguely guessed in her heart what the so-called housework was, and it was probably the matter of Kong's mother-in-law Yang.Liu Qiqiao smiled: "Sometimes housework is annoying, and if it is not handled well, it will kill someone."

This was originally a very casual sentence, but it happened that something like this happened to the Du family just now. When Du Erye heard it, his face immediately became hot and his cheeks turned red.Seeing Second Master Du's embarrassment, Du Ruo said, "Housekeeper Hong has come from afar, why don't you leave after dinner here today? What do you think, Uncle Ertang?"

Second Master Du hurriedly followed to persuade him to stay, but Steward Hong had already got up and said, "No, I have other things to do, so I won't be here to complain." He said: "Some small gifts on the car are not a tribute, they are all things from our Hong's shop, give them to Second Master, Young Master Du and the girls at home."

After sending Steward Hong away, the servants brought in the gifts from the Hong family.The best tea, the best spices, and the best silk.But it seems that they are all gifts chosen by men. If Kong’s body recovers, naturally they will not just send these over. Presumably, Kong’s body will not recover so quickly and easily.

Liu Qiqiao looked at these things and found nothing particularly good, so she said, "Second Tang uncle, we came from the capital, and we can't carry the things we brought with us. Where do we need these things? Let them stay at your house." .”

First Master Du declined, and then Du Ruo came up to say the same, and then Second Master Du agreed, and only asked the maid to go to the backyard and call the eldest wife over.Liu Qiqiao became more and more sure that the Lin family was the head of the Du family.

When Du Ruo and Liu Qiqiao returned to Liuyuan, Mrs. Du had already returned, with a tired look on her face, she just shook her head and said, "It can't be done, it can't be done, such a girl can be raised. How can I get married in the future."

Liu Qiqiao naturally also knew that it was Du Qin who was talking about, so she stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Don't worry about the old lady, the children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Besides, the old lady is also the elder in the next room, so I don't care about their affairs."

Old Madam Du sighed again, only shook her head and said, "I didn't expect that your second aunt was so confused that she actually took her own granddaughter as her daughter-in-law. This messed up her seniority. Fortunately, she can do it."

Liu Qiqiao remembered that there were not many people who did this kind of thing in history, and Empress Lu even married her granddaughter to her son to be the queen.Besides, the second master was raised by the second old lady's name, but in fact, he has no blood relationship with the second wife at all. From a genetic point of view, they are really legitimate.

But Du Qin was miserable, if this incident happened, I'm afraid that the second old lady would not spoil her anymore.
