Chapter 365 Duke Anguo’s Mansion (3)

"The fourth sister is still as beautiful as when she left. A beauty is a beauty..."

Someone broke the awkward atmosphere, and the room quickly became lively. Several sisters-in-law got up first and gathered around Du to chat affectionately.

Du Ruhai said in a long tone with a straight face: "Get up, family, don't just be formal."

"yes!"

Du stood up and led Mu Zhongqing to meet everyone one by one.

"This is my eldest brother. When I left, my eldest brother was already a sixth-grade editor of the Hanlin Academy. Now I don't know what position he holds?"

Du Yongzhi smiled proudly and said: "Brother Wei is just a fifth-grade middle school student now, which makes Fourth Sister and brother-in-law laugh."

He said it was a joke, but the look on his face was clearly one of pride, as if he was so great.

Speaking of which, if Du Yongzhi himself were to rely on him, he might not even be able to secure a position as a sixth-rank Hanlin Academy editor. Fortunately, he has a second-rank mighty general as his brother-in-law. Now his brother-in-law has been promoted to a first-rank national protector general, serving in the court. For a time, she was in the limelight. Her brother-in-law had a deep affection for his sister, and naturally he also supported and cared for his elder brother-in-law.

"This is the second brother. He was still studying in the academy when I left. Now I don't know what position he holds in the official position?"

Mrs. Du pointed at Du Yongbang and introduced to Mu Zhongqing, who hurriedly came forward to greet him.

Du Yongbang nodded and said: "Sister-in-law and sister-in-law don't have to be polite. I am an elder brother but not talented. I only served as an inconspicuous little official like Cheng Yilang, and I didn't make my sister-in-law and sister-in-law laugh."

Mu Zhongqing said politely: "My second brother is the same age as Zhongqing, but his official rank is up to the sixth rank, while Zhongqing is still a scholar without rank or rank. Speaking of which, Zhongqing is really ashamed of himself!"

Mu Zhongqing's politeness greatly satisfied Du Yongbang's vanity. When he looked at Mu Zhongqing, he no longer looked down upon him with disdain. Instead, he said with a smile: "Although my brother-in-law is temporarily frustrated, he has his ambition."

He was just about to say, with 'Mr. Huo' as his son-in-law, do he still worry about not having an official position?

But when he said this, he suddenly stopped talking. He was so proud just now that he almost let it slip. When Mr. Huo sent people to talk about this matter, he had repeatedly told him not to let the Mu family know that he was there. He wanted them to recognize each other behind his back. He certainly didn't want to touch Mr. Huo's back and cause him to be dissatisfied, so he was glad that he shut up in time.

"Haha, I mean, my sister-in-law has a lot of talent and knowledge, and winning the election is just a matter of chance. Sooner or later, he will become an official!"

Du Yongbang reconciled the situation in time, and Mu Zhongqing politely bowed his hand, and went with his wife to meet the last uncle.

"This is the third brother, the youngest son of my parents,"

"Also the most useless one!"

Du Yongchun didn't wait for Mrs. Du to finish her words, but stopped her. He cupped his hands to Mu Zhongqing casually and said nonchalantly: "My sister-in-law is laughing at me. My brother is just a mediocre Hanlin Academy official now. My sister-in-law has a bright future." , he cannot be judged by his sister-in-law."

Du Ruhai glanced at his younger son. Although he was dissatisfied, he had long been accustomed to his behavior. He snorted and turned his face to the side.

Mrs. Du led her husband and met everyone in the house one by one. There were also some unknown young masters and ladies, who must be the children of these brothers. Because they were juniors, Mrs. Du did not allow her husband to meet them.

In this room, Mrs. Wang had her emotions brewing, so she beckoned Mrs. Du to her side, took her hand and sat down, took out her handkerchief, wiped her tears, and sobbed: "My son, back then, My parents were forced by that old beast of King Guangling, so they had to leave you to save our whole family. Don’t blame your parents!"
