Ninefold Purple

After hearing Dou Zhao's words, Shuangzhi looked at Dou Zhao with a bit of horror in his eyes.

Dou Zhao didn't care.

As long as the mother and elders are not suspicious, no matter how much the servants talk about it, it will be nothing more than talk.

Dou Zhao directed Tuoniang to carry her back to the house.

Xi Dou's personnel affairs are simple, and although the swords at the Crane Shoutang made the servants very nervous, they were far from panicked. [

As soon as Shuangzhi talked about Tuoniang and Xiangcao going to Dou Zhao's house as errands, everyone's attention was quickly put on the two of them.

Some scolded with a smile: "The little hoof of Vanilla finally made her succeed. I don't know whose way it is?"

More people greeted Tuo Niang, introducing themselves "I am Ginkgo" and "I am Lilac", and someone asked: "Which house did my sister work in, why was she suddenly transferred to the fourth lady's house?" ?”

Tuo Niang was not used to such enthusiasm, so she answered in a murmur.

Hearing that she was the rough envoy of the laundry room, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, a little at a loss.

Tuo Niang was even more cautious when she saw her.

"Okay," Shuangzhi smiled and helped Tuo Niang, "you can talk later if you have anything to say. Let Tuo Niang settle down first." Then he thought, "Sister Hanxiao and I still have two beds in the room. Seventh Grandma and the others don't know when they will come back, but Fourth Miss can't cut off people. I think, let Tuo Niang sleep in our room first, and wait for Seventh Grandma to tell us."

Tuo Niang breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone also came to their senses, or volunteered to help Tuo Niang pack up, or offered to help Tuo Niang make the bed.

Tuo Niang refused to leave Dou Zhao even one step: "Who will serve by Miss? I'll wait until the vanilla arrives."

Dou Zhao smiled slightly.

Tuo Niang admits to death.

When she married to Jining Hou's Mansion, her future was uncertain, and she didn't dare to bring Tuo Niang there. When she got a firm foothold in Jining Hou's Mansion and wanted to take Tuo Niang over, Tu Niang died of illness.

Thinking of this, her eyes turned red, and she gently shook Tuoniang's hand.

Tuo Niang looked at her seriously, and said solemnly: "Miss Si, don't worry, I will watch over you every step of the way." The other people seemed to be villains, and the faces of the people in the room were all black. Seeing Tuo Niang's gaze was a bit unkind, but Tuo Niang didn't notice it, and stood by her side sternly, unmoved.

Shuangzhi had no choice but to resentfully order the maid to go to the washing room to report the news, and tidy up the place where Tuo Niang rested.

Everyone acted separately, and no one struck up a conversation with Tuo Niang again.

Dou Zhao and Tuoniang stayed in the inner room with big eyes and small eyes.

After a while, Vanilla ran in: "Miss Four, Grandma Seven and Yu Yu are back!" [

He didn't mention his father.

Dou Zhao's heart sank, and he asked, "Father?"

Xiang Cao wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said: "The seventh master, the old master, the third master and the third wife are still in He Shoutang."

Are you discussing taking concubines?Still discussing how to make mother let go?

Dou Zhao was a little anxious, got off the kang with the help of Tuoniang, and ran out.

Tuo Niang and Vanilla followed closely behind her.

The mother with a sullen face was supported by Nanny Yu, and walked in with an expression on her face.

"Mother, mother!" Dou Zhao rushed over.

The mother looked pale, bent down and picked up Dou Zhao, kissed her little face, and then handed her over to the smiley behind her: "Go play rope with Miss Fourth."

With a smile, he hurriedly hugged Dou Zhao.But Dou Zhao held on to his mother's lapel.

The mother suddenly became very impatient: "You child, why are you disobedient? Mother still has something to do, you play with Hanxiao." As she spoke, she raised her eyes and saw Tuoniang and Xiangcao, and raised her finger to them, "Why don't you and The two of them are going to play."

Knowing that his mother was not in the mood to coax her now, Dou Zhao obediently was hugged by Hanxiao, and when his mother and Nanny Yu entered the inner room, she slipped down from Hanxiao's arms and ran to the inner room.

The maid on duty didn't dare to stop her.

She entered the inner room smoothly.

The mother was crying on the kang table: "...you have seen it all. Before the person enters the door, he just protects him like this, for fear that the person will suffer a little bit of grievance. What else can I say. I followed his wishes. Let that woman in! I want to see what kind of ability that woman has, what kind of tricks she uses, how can she charm him so that his parents, wife, children, and reputation are all gone!"

Yu Yumo's eyes flickered slightly, and she said in a low voice: "Master Qi takes a concubine, whether he is big or small, look, do you want to send someone to tell uncle..."

"No!" Before Mammy Yu could finish her sentence, the mother suddenly raised her head and said in a hurry, "My brother will go to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival at the beginning of the new year, and he is studying behind closed doors at the moment. If you know that I have only been married for three years I have to take a concubine, and with my elder brother's temper, I will never let it go, and I can't delay my elder brother's future for my sake." She repeatedly told Madam Yu, "You are the one who serves my mother, if someone else I will not care about what you did behind my back, I know you are doing it for my own good. But this matter is no small matter. Our Zhao family has not been a Jinshi for 40 years. If it is because of you If you cause any trouble, you will trap me in injustice and make me a sinner for the Zhao family through the ages!"

Nanny Yu nodded, turned around and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Is uncle so good?

Dou Zhao curled his lips, and secretly said to his mother: Just go and disturb him.He is a Jinshi of Ding Weike.And as soon as he got the honor in the exam, he found a real job in the Northwest, took the whole family to the office, and never returned to the real job.

She only saw her uncle once on the day she got married.

Mother has uncle.When saying goodbye to her relatives, for the sake of her mother, she respectfully kowtowed three times to her uncle. [

Uncle seemed to be very excited, looking at her gave her the illusion that "my family has a girl who is just growing up".She was overjoyed at the time, thinking that her uncle was an official in the northwest, the distance was far away, and it was inconvenient to contact her, and her stepmother only saw her natal brothers in her eyes, and my uncle was a scholar, so he must be arrogant and unwilling to be humiliated, so she didn't Went to Dou's house.This time, my uncle came to see her off from his post, which shows that he still has her as a niece in his heart.She even planned to take the opportunity of this reunion to honor her uncle and let him tell her about her mother's past.

Unexpectedly, when she went out, my uncle returned to the northwest, and since then, he never said a word to her again.

If my uncle was jealous of his stepmother before, what fear would he have after she married into the Jining Marquis?

Dou Zhao couldn't figure it out.

Later, my uncle's eldest cousin, Zhao Biru, lived with her husband in Kyoto, and once visited her, and asked her to get away with three cups of tea.

Can such a person be counted on?

Dou Zhao was suspicious, and hid behind the curtain of the floor covering and pondered.

Since the mother agreed to the father's concubine, could it be that the stepmother was righted?

But every time the stepmother said it, she said that she was "married by the matchmaker of the Dou family and welcomed in with eight sedan chairs", and no one refuted her words!

The stepmother can dismiss the loyal servants of the mother, and can threaten and lure the servants of the Dou family. It is impossible for even the dignified officials and wives in Zhending County to open their eyes and talk nonsense!

Is there a woman in the middle?

That's not right, the stepmother is happy to come in, and the younger sister Dou Ming is only two years and seven months younger than her...

The more Dou Zhao thought about it, the more confused he became.

Walked in with a smile.

"Grandma Seven," she said cautiously, "The Third Wife is here."

The mother hurriedly wiped away her tears, and while telling her to "quickly ask the third sister-in-law to talk in the room", she got up to meet her.

The third aunt came in with a serious expression, surrounded by two maids.

Seeing her mother, her eyes turned red, and she took her mother's hand onto the kang.

All the servants in the room retreated obediently.

The third aunt did not wait for Mammy Yu to serve her tea and said: "I know you are sad. I don't want to persuade you. You can cry if you want to cry. But after crying, you have to cheer up. Look at Uncle Qi In this way, you still have tough battles to fight in the future!"

"I know!" Mother said, tears could not help but fell again, she did not complain, but said to the third aunt apologetically, "Third uncle, please ask the third sister-in-law to say a few words for me. I am angry That's why I said those things to Sanbo. Please, since I'm young and haven't experienced anything, Sanbo don't care about me like I do!"

"If you say that, you have alienated me from your third brother." The third aunt also shed tears, "After all, it's all your third brother's fault! If your third brother was not reckless, Seventh Uncle would not have made trouble Get this discount..."

"What does this have to do with Uncle San?" The mother sobbed and interrupted Aunt San, "I was talking about being a brother, but Uncle treats Wan Wan like his son. Standing on the sidelines doesn't matter? After all, it's still worth ten thousand yuan. He is obsessed with ghosts...I just hate...We grew up together. In terms of love, we should be better than other couples. He wants to take a concubine, why? Don’t discuss it with me first? I disagree, so he just knelt in the snow and couldn’t get up...My father-in-law only had his only seedling at the age of 42. Who did he think of me? Where did he put me? I think Thinking about it makes me feel cold..." Lying on the kang table, I began to cry again.

"Don't cry, don't cry!" The third aunt hugged her mother, "This person has never been rough all his life? Seventh uncle is still young, so it is inevitable that there will be times when he is confused. I am not afraid of your jokes. Your uncle should be Calm and introverted, right? When I first became a Jinshi, I learned how to publish books and accept concubines, and my sister-in-law was so angry that she cried at the time, but in a few years, after the frivolous frivolity, I know it’s better to be at home. Living with my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is almost 40 years old, and she has added Brother Lan... It can be seen that sometimes, you can overcome the tough with softness, and you can't be tough!"

"I understand what the third sister-in-law said." The mother listened, sat up straight, wiped her tears and said, "I have something, I want to ask the third sister-in-law." She didn't continue the question with the third aunt.

The third aunt was a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "Say it, tell it. As long as I can help."

"Since that woman wants to enter our house, I have to look at each other anyway!" Mother said, "I would like to ask the third sister-in-law and the eldest sister-in-law to accompany me when the time comes."

This was originally the rule of a wealthy family. Even if you agree to your husband to take a concubine, you have to look at the person first. If you are a seductive woman or have a flawed character, even if a wife refuses her husband's request, she is not "envious".It's no different than the outburst merchants, there's nothing special about it, you can take it home if you like it.

The third aunt suddenly realized: "Okay, okay, okay. I'll go tell my sister-in-law right away."

"Then there will be Mrs. Lao San." Mother said, standing up, "I'll tell Wan Wan to bring someone from Kyoto to Zhending."

The third aunt didn't answer, she patted her mother's hand with a smile, and said, "Seventh siblings have grown up too!"

The tone is half sighed, half relieved.
