"You are …?"
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Iron Egg asked with a frown.
"If you are Iron Egg, then I am your uncle, Du Yanheng!"
The middle-aged man said with a kind smile.
Iron Egg's face immediately showed displeasure. He snorted, "I don't have an uncle ~! I only know that when I was young, my sister and I depended on each other for survival. We almost starved to death. Other than the people in the village, no other relatives were willing to help us. If my father didn't come back in time, my sister and I would have been long gone! "
Being scolded by a child like this, Du Yanheng's old face was somewhat embarrassed. But thinking that he came here today to acknowledge his family, not to quarrel and make enemies, he could only patiently explain,
"Tie Dan, back then, your grandfather strongly opposed the marriage between your mother and your father. He didn't even hesitate to sever their relationship as father and daughter in order to stop the marriage. However, your mother threatened him with her life. She insisted on marrying only your father. In the end, even a vicious tiger won't eat its cubs. With your grandmother's help, your mother finally married your father."
"But since then, under your grandfather's insistence, the Du family no longer had any contact with your father and mother. Tianhu changed his name and went to live in the countryside with your mother. Later, your family moved several times. After your grandfather passed away, the Du family didn't even know where your father and mother lived! So … "
"Then why didn't my grandfather agree to my mother marrying my father ~?"
Iron Egg asked angrily. In his opinion, his father was a hero who had fought on the battlefield. The only person he had met so far who was stronger than his father was Li Zexuan. So when he heard that his father was disliked by the Du family, he was naturally very unhappy.
"Uh ~ ~"
When Du Yanheng heard his nephew's question, he couldn't help but have a headache. He thought to himself, Why is it so difficult to deal with children nowadays? Is it because I haven't dealt with children for a long time, or is it because this child in front of me is too monstrous?
"Iron Egg, there are too many things involved in the past. I'm afraid it's not convenient to talk about it now. If you really want to know, you can ask your uncle after you send your sister's dowry, or you can go back and ask your father ~!"
Du Yanheng shook his head and said in a deep voice.
"Why can't you say it now? If you are really my uncle, then please explain everything clearly now! Otherwise, we don't want the dowry you added! "
When he asked Hu Hanyun earlier, Hu Hanyun wasn't willing to go into detail. Now that he asked Du Yanheng, Du Yanheng was also being secretive. Iron Egg couldn't help but ask impatiently.
"You ~!"
When had Du Yanheng ever been humiliated by a child like this? He was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at the Iron Egg and was about to explode.
"Cough, cough! Iron Egg, don't make a fuss. Your uncle is here to add to your elder sister's dowry. This is related to Miss Han's happiness for the rest of her life. Don't make a fuss and let others see you as a joke. Let's send the dowry as usual first and talk about other things in private later ~! "
When Hu Hanyun saw that his nephew and uncle were about to start fighting, he hurriedly tugged at Bruiser and said earnestly, "Don't worry about it.
Although Old Hu was careless, he spoke with a sense of propriety at critical moments. He knew that Iron Egg cared a lot about his elder sister, so he directly brought up Han Yuxi and used this to persuade Iron Egg to look at the big picture and not make a fuss that would embarrass both of them.
Sure enough, Iron Egg's stubborn face immediately loosened. After a while, he hesitated and said, "Then we will listen to Uncle Hu and go to Master's house to send the dowry first!"
After that, he cupped his hands at Du Yanheng and said coldly, "Thank you, Uncle, for sending my elder sister's dowry ~!"
"You're welcome ~!"
How could Du Yanheng, who had lived half his life, not see the perfunctory expression on Iron Egg's face? He waved his hand expressionlessly and then returned to the Du family's dowry team.
Thus, the slowly moving dowry team finally returned to its normal speed and continued to drive towards Yongle Lane.
Most of the onlookers had more or less figured out the background of the Du family, as well as the romantic affairs between Father Han and Du Shiniang back then. They couldn't help but feel satisfied, secretly thinking that today's trip wasn't in vain!
"Ha ~! This Han family is really lucky. More than ten years ago, Han Tianhu married the Du family's daughter, and now his daughter is married to a young county founding man. This fortune is really amazing! "
"Yes ~! This Han family's fortune is really heaven-defying ~! "
"Aiyo, look, look, another team has come. Don't tell me they are also here to send the Han family's young miss' dowry?"
The new team had more than fifty carriages and hundreds of gifts. It looked like there were more gifts than the Du family's previous gifts.
"It's from Duke Yi's Mansion. The leading carriage has a symbol on it!"
Someone with sharp eyes immediately recognized the words on the carriage and quickly shouted.
"Hey ~! The leading carriage is also from Strange Interest Pavilion. Don't touch me, how generous ~! "
"Aren't you talking nonsense ~? What kind of status does Duke Yi have? How can he not get a carriage? The question is, what does Duke Yi have to do with the Han family ~? "
"I know this. Do you still remember the bandit suppression a few months ago? Duke of Yi Guo, Duke of Lu Guo, Duke of Wu Guo, Great General Niu, and a thousand Yulin Guards all filed out of Yanxing Gate at noon. In the evening, the army escorted several thousand bandits back in triumph. Many people saw it!
"I also saw it at that time, but what does this have to do with the Han family's young miss ~?"
"Hey ~! It has a lot to do with it. Why don't you think about it? What kind of bandits can actually alarm the three dukes and the Yulin Guards to take action at the same time? "
"Yes ~! Generally, bandits can be eliminated by the county government. Why did they make such a big scene? "
"Haha! It was said that at that time, those bandits kidnapped the adopted daughter of the Duke of Yi. The Duke of Yi was furious and wanted to go out of the city to suppress the bandits. How could His Majesty bear to let him take the risk alone, so he sent a thousand Yulin Guards to help! And this Han family's young miss is precisely Duke Yi's adopted daughter! "
As if to confirm what he said, a manservant in front of the Qin family's caravan started to beat gongs and drums while shouting:
"Duke Yi's Mansion has added 4 million copper coins, a thousand mu of fertile land, five shops, and thirty carts of silk, satin, gold, silver, and jade!"
"Wow ~! This Han family's young miss actually has such a big background ~! "
"Hiss ~! Duke Yi's Mansion actually added so much dowry. 4 million copper coins and a thousand mu of fertile land! They are really willing to part with it! What does this mean ~? It means that Duke Yi really dotes on his adopted daughter, Han family's young miss ~! "
"That's right ~! Who was just saying that the Han family's girl marrying into the Li family was climbing up the social ladder? In my opinion, these two families are well-matched! "
"Hey ~! I heard that the Han family's young miss is a famous peerless beauty in the villages outside the city. She is not inferior to those aristocratic families' young misses ~! Duke Li really has good luck with women ~! "
"Hehe ~! Duke Li is also handsome and suave. He looks like a talent! I think that not only are they well-matched, they are also a golden boy and jade girl, a match made in heaven ~ "
Qin Huaiyu walked at the front of the Qin family's caravan and listened to the discussions around him. The corner of his mouth curved into an elegant arc. These people's analysis was correct. Due to Han Tianhu and Li Zexuan, his parents really doted on Han Yuxi and almost treated her as their own. Ever since they recognized this daughter, his mother had personally gone to the Han family to visit Han Yuxi more than once. This time, the Qin family had also spent a lot of money to add to the dowry. It was to give Han Yuxi face and prevent others from saying that Han Yuxi married Li Zexuan because the Han family was climbing up the social ladder.
From the looks of it, the effect was pretty good ~!
