Chapter 107 Family Banquet Including Blossoming Blossoms and Choi(2/2)
Du Hengshuang thought for a while and felt that the Guan family could not do this alone, so he asked: "When you released them, did you carefully read their contracts of sale?"
The deed of sale usually clearly states the period of sale, price, name, place of origin, address, parents, etc.
If Mrs. Guan had carefully read the deed of sale, she probably wouldn't have made such a big mistake.
Guan said anxiously: "Of course I read it. There is no price tag for selling one's body on those body deeds. Otherwise, I really wouldn't dare."
Du Hengshuang's expression changed slightly. He was playing with a black jade paperweight in his hand. He put it down for a long time and said: "Besides returning their deed papers, what else have you done? Are you going to work in the government?"
When a person who sold himself into slavery is deregistered, in addition to the return of the deed of sale to his master, the master's family also has to go to the government to cancel the registration and move his name from the slave status to the good status, which is the real deregistration.
Otherwise, those who do not count can be treated as runaway slaves at any time.
The law on escaped slaves in Da Qi was as strict as that in Da Zhou, and few people were willing to become escaped slaves.
Guan suffocated and stood in front of Du Hengshuang with her head lowered and hands down, like a child who had done something wrong, "...I don't remember. It seems that I ordered Xiao Yi, the steward of the outer courtyard, to go to the government to work." She wanted to do good things to the end.
, send Buddha to the West.
"Oh, I understand. You go back first. I'll ask Manager Xiao later." Du Hengshuang stood up with a smile to see off the guests.
Guan didn't get the right answer from Du Hengshuang, and heard Xiao Shiji coughing several times outside the curtain. Knowing that he was impatient, she hurriedly said, "The family banquet has begun. Please invite the uncle and eldest mistress to come."
He said goodbye and left.
Xiao Shiji walked in and asked, "What's the matter? You're sneaky."
Du Hengshuang didn't hide anything from him and told him the story again.
Xiao Shiji snorted, and sat down next to Du Hengshuang with his arms folded, "You are a smart fool. Xiao Yi told me about it, and I asked him to send those people to Zhuangzi to stay temporarily. I spent a lot of money to find the needle and thread
Master, she just took it upon herself to develop it without even asking, and she doesn’t know whether she thinks this is really her home, or whether she thinks I’m a fool to be fooled.”
Du Hengshuang couldn't answer the question, so she pushed him and said, "Don't worry about these family matters in the future, just leave them to me. Otherwise, you, an eldest brother, will have to get entangled with her?"
Xiao Shiji said "hmm" and said with a wry smile: "You think I want to take care of it? There's nothing you can do about it. It will be fine from now on. I will leave this family to you, my wife. - Even I am yours."
Yes, you can do whatever you want..." As he said this, he became unruly and put his hands on Du Hengshuang's slender waist, "... I can break this small waist with just one hand."
Du Hengshuang pushed his hand away with a snap, "It's time to go to the family dinner, and you're still complaining. If it's too late, my mother won't say anything about you, and she won't be nice to me."
Xiao Shiji stood up with a smile and said, "How could it be? It was me who delayed my wife's time. I will make it clear to her." After saying this, he took her to the central hall.
In the courtyard of the central hall, more than ten yellow nanmu gilded flower and bird palace lanterns were hung high around the courtyard wall, illuminating the central courtyard as bright as day.
In the central hall, a huge transparent butter candle as thick as an arm reflected the red magpies on the branches of the red sandalwood trees, creating a solemn and solemn atmosphere.
When the two of them came in, the rest of the Xiao family had arrived.
Long Xiangye sat at the top and stood up with a smile on her face, "The young lady is here. If she doesn't come, my old lady will starve to death."
In front of everyone in the Xiao family, Du Hengshuang didn't expect Long Xiangye to actually say what he said, and his face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head and came up to salute and apologize.
Xiao Shiji pursed his lips, followed Du Hengshuang and saluted Long Xiangye, and said with a smile: "Are you blaming your son?"
Long Xiangye snarled and waved to Xiao Shiji, "You are busy with your affairs. Mother knows all about it. How could she blame you?" The implication was that they were late and it must be Du Hengshuang's fault.
She was holding back.
Xiao Shiji took a step forward, helped Long Xiangye sit down, and said with a smile: "My son was delayed today because of something, and Shuang'er was a step late because he was waiting for me."
Long Xiangye nodded, "That's right. When you get a daughter-in-law, all you have to do is take good care of my son. I won't blame you for being lazy in front of me, an old woman."
Daqi people all claim that when they marry, they first serve their parents and elders, and then carry on the family line.
Long Xiangye was clearly saying that Du Hengshuang only had eyes for her man and had no parents, which was extremely unfilial.
Du Hengshuang had no choice but to admit her mistake, "I was late today, please punish my mother-in-law."
Long Xiangye ignored the suddenly cold face of the eldest son next to her, and said with a smile: "Of course I will be punished. - I will punish you to accompany me to dinner today and serve me food."
How could it be so easy?
As a daughter-in-law, when serving the aunt, she has to serve tea and water. When the mother-in-law is eating, the daughter-in-law should serve the dishes nearby. This is basically a due responsibility and is not a punishment.
Du Hengshuang was surprised and happy, and felt that Long Xiangye was not an unreasonable person. He smiled at Xiao Shiji, his eyes flashed, and said to Long Xiangye: "Mom, you are siding with me." Then he left.
He came forward and said to Xiao Shiji, "I will serve your mother."
Xiao Shiji paused, then nodded, walked to the table where he and Du Hengshuang sat down alone.
With a smile on her face, Long Xiangye said to the people in the room: "We are all here today, and my two sons are married. From now on, you must stay together as husband and wife, be diligent and thrifty, and do not cause trouble or cause chaos in the house."
." After saying that, he said to Xiao Shiji and Xiao Taiji: "Brothers working together can break through metal. You two brothers must support each other well so that we can have a prosperous family."
Xiao Shiji and Xiao Taiji responded in unison.
Longxiang Ye raised her chopsticks first before everyone started eating.
Du Hengshuang stood aside and served Longxiang Ye with a bow.
On weekdays, this work is done by Longxiangye's maid Meixiang.
Today, Du Hengshuang stood at Mei Xiang's place, and Mei Xiang had no choice but to hide in the booth on the side of the nave.
"My mother-in-law loves to eat this Guangming Shrimp Grilled. The heat looks pretty good." Du Hengshuang arranged and served the Longxiang Ye.
Long Xiangye was very picky about her food today. She stopped eating every dish after two bites. Du Hengshuang also asked Du Hengshuang to eat the remaining dishes on the spot, calling it a "reward" to her.
It is common for elders in large families to give meals and vegetables to younger ones, but it is rare for elders to give leftovers that they have actually eaten to younger ones.
Du Hengshuang never eats other people's leftovers, and Long Xiangye's favorite dishes are all things she doesn't usually eat, but the elder gave it to her and she couldn't refuse it, so she had to hold her nose and swallow it.
It was the last dish of tender beef intestines, and Du Hengshuang couldn't eat any more. She stood hunched over the dragon fragrant leaves, feeling sick to her stomach by the strong smell of mutton fat. Today she ate a lot more than usual.
There is so much fat and meat in it that I can’t hold it for a while.
My stomach was churning, and I vomited when I opened my mouth. Just from top to bottom, a sour and smelly filth vomited all over Longxiang Ye's face. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.

ps: There was a double update yesterday, but there were still very few pink tickets. My friends and I were shocked. So my friend suggested that I not do a double update. o(╯□╰)o. No one is really pink.
Do you have a ticket? If it really doesn’t exist, I won’t ask for it. I’ll squat in the corner and draw circles...
