In the yard, Xuanxuan and her younger brother were building snowmen. After seeing Du Gou, she hurried over and greeted her very politely.

"Uncle II, are you here? Are you going to build a snowman with us? I can build a small size for you later as you look!"

Every time Du Gou saw this little niece, he was amused and held his niece's hand and smiled: "Okay, after the second uncle finished talking to your father, I will come to build a snowman with you."

The old man beside him stroked his beard and said, "These are Shaoqing's two children, right? What a pair of golden boys and jade girls."

"Huh? Who is this old uncle? Second uncle, did you bring the customer to find your father?" Xuanxuan asked curiously.

Du Gou nodded and said, "Xuanxuan, this is not an old uncle. This is your grandfather's younger brother. You should call him the second grandfather."

It turned out that the person here was Du Ruhui's younger brother Du Chuke.

"Hmm? Second Grandpa?

Second Uncle, you remember it wrong. I only have one third grandfather, so how can I have a second grandfather? You didn’t meet a liar on the way, right?” Xiao Xuanxuan said vigilantly.

Du Gou turned around apologetically and said to Du Chuke: "Second uncle, the child is ignorant, don't mind."

"Where can I have the same knowledge as my children? Let's go and meet Shaoqing.

Xuanxuan, whether I am your second grandfather, I will naturally see you when I take us to see your father.” Du Chuke and Xuanxuan said cordially.

Xiao Xuanxuan took a step back and curled her lips and said, "I have three grandpas. The grandpa who had held me when I was a child is gone. When I came to Chang'an, my grandpa told me that the grandpa who gave birth to my father is no longer there, so these two grandpas are on the tablets of my family's ancestral hall.

Now I have a third grandfather, and I often go to see him and third grandmother.

I never knew that there was a second grandfather. It seemed like you were a liar who was cheating. Uncle Second, please stand here and hide. I'll call my dad."

Puff... Du Gou was stunned. What's going on? Did the elder brother teach the child so much?

Du Chuke was also embarrassed and thought to himself that he was so unpleasant to his children? How did you see that I am a bad person?

Seeing Xuanxuan running away, Du Gou greeted the little Du Zhong and said, "Zhong'er, where is your father? Can you take me and your grandpa to find your father?"

Xiao Du Zhong was interrupted by being immersed in the concentration of building snowmen. He stood beside the two of them and looked at Du Chuke curiously for a while, bit his finger and shook his head and said, "No, Uncle Er, where did you find this person? Zhong'er doesn't like the smell on him."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

This child... Du Gou was speechless and could only take Du Chuke to Du Shaoqing's study by himself.

It happened that Du Shaoqing was pulled out by his daughter and ran into the two of them. When he saw that person, why didn’t Du Shaoqing recognize him? When Du He was deposed, it was this second uncle who had killed his relatives for justice who came to announce that Du He was removed from the genealogy.

Du Gou said enthusiastically: "Brother, this is our father's younger brother and our second uncle Du Chuke.

Something is coming today.”

"Well, then go in and talk." Du Shaoqing said calmly, and then led the two to the living room.

Xiao Xuanxuan grabbed her father's sleeve and reminded: "Dad, I don't think that old uncle looks like a good person. Why do you still bring him into the house? He isn't really my second grandfather, right?"

Du Shaoqing rubbed his daughter's little head and said in a doting way: "It's okay, go and take your brother to play, daddy greets the guests."

Neither admitting nor denying, nor saying anything, nor saying hello. This attitude made Du Chuke feel melancholy in his heart, and he felt that this Divine Doctor Du was not very welcome to him.

Seeing the little guy running away quickly, Du Gou said, "Brother, the child has to be in charge. This is too rude to the guests. Fortunately, it is our second uncle. If other guests come, wouldn't it mean that our children are not well-educated?"

Although Du Gou was kindly persuading, Du Shaoqing paused his feet, didn't raise his head, and said calmly: "The children in the world are the most spiritual. Before the age of twelve, they have not closed their eyes and can see things that ordinary people cannot see."

"This... brother, what do you mean?" Du Gou said in confusion.

"It means that children can distinguish between good and evil and bad in different ways than us. They have their own judgment on whether a person is close to each other. This is nature, so why should they be erased?

Whether to attract children or not, you need to find the reasons for the adults involved, rather than blame the children."

From beginning to end, Du Shaoqing never looked at Du Chuke directly, as if he was talking to Du Gou like his brother was educating his younger brother.

Du Gou is not a fool either. He has figured it out and knows that the eldest brother didn't like Du Chuke because of his third brother Du He.

Just as he was about to persuade him, Du Chuke had already spoken on his own initiative, "Hahaha, although this explanation is unheard of, but when you think about it carefully, it does make sense. No wonder some people like children, and some people hate children.

Shaoqing, you said, "Uncle, I have no children, so why should I avoid my uncle and nephew?"

Du Shaoqing did not say anything, but led the two to the living room, and took the guest and host to sit down, then said: "Mr. Du is a high-ranking official and has a prominent background. In fact, I, Du Shaoqing, can be as high as the mountain people, and the uncle and nephew can say no more.

Secondly, I just said that the problem of child fate is that adults are not children, and the teacher can reflect on himself and check it out, which cannot be taught by others."

you……

Du Chuke hit a nail, his old face turned red and he couldn't speak.

Du Gou persuaded: "Brother, what are you doing? The brother of your and my brother, and the second uncle Du Chuke is our father's younger brother. How can you talk to the second uncle like this? It's so rude."

Um?

Du Shaoqing glared at Du Gou, and the latter's aura was immediately suppressed. He was so timid that he did not dare to speak again. Du Shaoqing snorted coldly: "Second, if you know I am your elder brother, don't interrupt, you have your own opinions for your brother.

Mr. Du came to the door and didn’t know what was going on. Why not say it out loud."

Nowadays, even the emperor has to give in. No one in the world dares to speak with each other. Du Chuke has something to ask for, and his eyes rolls and plays the emotional card, "Shaoqing, I know that because of your ancestors back then, you are still complaining about me.

But this time I came here without any malice. If you don’t look at monks and Buddha’s faces, you are going to drive me out of my uncle? You can’t even ask for a cup of tea here?"

"I am a bad guest without invitation. I don't think the Du family in Luoxia Town has any business dealings with you. Everyone knows that there is no servant in my house who serves tea and water. Why should Mr. Du ask this more?

I’m very busy. If there’s nothing else, I’d better go to another place to ask for tea.”

You... Du Chuke almost choked and bleeding.

Du Gou stood up and smoothed out, "Hehe, don't be surprised by the second uncle, it's me who was negligent. The eldest brother is indeed like this here. His home is very casual, so I'll pour tea now.

Brother, you are a reasonable person. Since the second uncle is here, no matter what, why should you keep people from thousands of miles away? And today this is a good thing."

After saying that, Du Gou was busy pouring tea himself. Du Shaoqing did not speak anymore, but turned to look at Du Chuke.

The latter sighed and said, "I came today because I was ordered by the clan to let you and Du He recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, back then..."

Before he could continue, Du Shaoqing burst into laughter. Sure enough, he guessed it.

"Mr. Du, do you know where this is? And who is I, Du Shaoqing?" Du Shaoqing sneered.

Du Chuke was stunned for a moment and replied seriously: "This is your Marquis' Mansion in Zheng State. You are a miracle doctor in Chang'an, and you are the current son-in-law of the prince. The official position of the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple is well known to everyone, so why did you come here to ask?"

Du Shaoqing nodded with interest and said, "That's right, but it seems that my reputation is not enough. Mr. said less. I was also named the Prince's Young Master, and I am ranked second-ranked, at the same level as the current prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to the fact that Your Majesty and the Princes can talk to me like this, even many princes have to salute me when they see me.

Who are you? Do you dare to order me, Du Shaoqing?"

He wanted to scold something, but after thinking about it, he still gave his dead father Du Ruhui a face so that the old man would say that the child was unfilial.

You, you... Du Chuke was repeatedly choked by Du Shaoqing, and was pointed at him in person and scolded him in front of him. No one could suppress his anger.

He pointed at Du Shaoqing and said angrily: "Even if you are the most powerful minister, so what? Could it be that you can bear the ancestors and forget the clan?"

Du Shaoqing said: "My Du Family Ancestral Hall worships the tablets of the ancestors of the Du Family in Luoxia Town...

Hum, why should I explain to you?”

Du Chuke suppressed his anger and said, "That is the ancestor of your adoptive parents. You worship the Du family in Luoxia Town to repay their kindness. No matter what, you are a descendant of the Du family in Duling. How can a man admit his mistake in his ancestors when he is in his lifetime?

Now that the Duling family has recognized your identity, it is time to recognize your ancestors and return to your family tree.

For this clan, the unfilial son of Du He has been allowed to re-enroll himself. From now on, the Duling Du family lineage will be your backing. This is a good thing, why are you so confused?"

Du Shaoqing was not confused at all, “Haha, good thing?

Isn’t it because my third brother and I are now rising and we can use it for you, so I will win over us?

Have you forgotten that when you expelled the third brother, you were like throwing away the plague god, for fear that the Duling Du family’s reputation would be implicated. At that time, I didn’t know where the so-called backing was?

Like you fencemen, we brothers disdain to join us.

Second brother, please see off the guests. Don’t bring some villains at home in the future.”

"What??? Being presumptuous! Do you dare to insult me ​​like this?

OK OK OK OK OK Erlang, take me to find your mother, but I want to ask my old sister-in-law in person, this is how I educate my son?" Du Chuke was furious.

Du Gou's scalp was numb, and why did he turn around and make a pot of tea become tense?

He hurriedly went up to hold Du Chuke, and Du Gou persuaded: "Brother, the second uncle is still working on everyone's affairs at such an old age. Why do you have to do this? He is our dear uncle, so you can't harm you and me, right?

Second uncle, please go out for a walk and calm down first, let me persuade the elder brother.”

In desperation, Du Chuke could only sigh and leave the living room, hoping that Du Gou could talk about something. After all, the Du Shaoqing brothers must win over.

The current strength of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce and the achievements of the Peninsula to destroy the four countries, let alone the wealthy families, even the entire Tang Dynasty would have to work hard.

But the Du Family Chamber of Commerce is so powerful. For this help, the Duling Du family even rubbed their old faces on the ground.

Du Shaoqing kept giving Du Gou face and was not angry. Seeing his younger brother pouring tea with a smile, Du Shaoqing said, "I don't have a good impression of Du Ling Du family, you don't have to persuade me anymore. You know my personality, you don't ask for anything, and I don't care if you don't help your arms.

As for the third brother, now he has started a family and started his own business. You can ask him yourself, but I won’t interfere.”

Du Gou smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you chatted to death as soon as you came up. How did I speak?"

"If you can't speak, go back. I won't leave you for dinner today. I want to come and have a meal alone, or bring my younger brother and sister-in-law to come over. Your elder brother and sister-in-law both applauded and welcomed you." Du Shaoqing said angrily.

"Actually, I don't look down on their fictional style, but so what? After all, they are all tribe members connected by blood. Whose family is not of different quality? The Duling Du family can have people like you, Dad and Brother, which means there are still capable people and good people?

I also know that my elder brother looks down on the strength of the Duling Du family and can’t use any help. But now in this brother, everyone in the world is close to the reliable ones of their own. Brother, your family business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are always times when people are used. After all, the people in my hometown are still surnamed Du, so they still have advantages in using it.”

Du Shaoqing said disdainfully: "You don't know this truth if you are appointing others based on your merits and not nepotism?"
