Ninefold Purple

In the carriage back to the West Mansion, Dou Zhao seemed a little silent.

Both Su Xin and Su Lan went back to Zhending Prefecture to hold an anniversary ceremony for their father, and beside her was the more lively Ganlu.

She smiled and asked Dou Zhao: "Miss Si, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Dou Zhao said absently, "I'm thinking about some things from the past."

Miss Si has only been a few years ago, what about the past? [

What could have happened in the past?

Gan Lu imitated the maid in Ji's house and smiled.

Dou Zhao didn't notice Ganlu's strangeness at all, thinking about his own thoughts.

In the previous life, the sixth aunt came to Beijing when she was 14 years old, and soon bought a second-class house in Maoer Hutong next to Jing'an Temple for Dou Zhengchang to marry.

Dou Zhengchang married the niece of the sixth aunt's sister-in-law's natal family. Her surname was Han. Chang has become a well-known craftsman, as long as his comments are written, they will immediately sell well in the north and south. The husband and wife are like-minded and very affectionate.

Also because of this, in order to take care of the daily life of the sixth uncle and Dou Zhengchang and his wife, the sixth aunt lived in Kyoto after that, and she did not return to her real decision until she was reborn.

Could it be that she is about to part with the sixth aunt?

Thinking of this, her eyes were sour and she almost shed tears.

For several days, Dou Zhao's mood was somewhat depressed.

The grandmother only thought that Dou Zhao was tired, and asked her to rest more: "...There are only three people celebrating the New Year anyway, and it doesn't matter if there are shortcomings or lacks."

Dou Zhao giggled, taking the opportunity to be lazy.Leave the matter to Su Xin who has returned home to take care of it, and hide in the house to do needlework.

She will never return to the capital in this life. If the sixth aunt lives there, it may be difficult for the two of them to meet again in the future.Aunt Six took care of her like a mother for several years.Now that the journey is imminent, she wants to make some clothes for the sixth aunt herself to show her affection.

There were rumors in the family that she was unwell.

Dou Ming lingered in front of Dou Zhao's gate for a while, and finally turned around and left.

Dou Zhao shook his head lightly.A faint disappointment welled up in my heart.

She has always thought that people are kind, but it is a pity that Dou Ming is too unlucky.

First, she met Wang Yingxue, and used her to deal with her father, which gained a little more utilitarianism, but less of her mother's love; then, she met Wang Xu, who she kept as a pet, only knowing how to dote on her.I don't know who is responsible for her future; follow me now—I am not good at educating people, and my three women in the previous life are proof... Her suffering can only be swallowed by herself!

Upon hearing the news from the East Mansion, Mrs. Ji rushed over immediately.

Dou Zhao had no choice but to comfort her: "...It's just that the weather is cold, I want to sleep more!" [

Ji Shi saw that her face was ruddy and her spirit was radiant.Knowing that she was not perfunctory, he smiled and chatted with her for a few words before heading back home.

Even so, the second wife sent Nanny Liu to visit, and the second and third wives came in person. Fanchang and Dou Huachang's daughter-in-law and Dou Qijun's daughter-in-law Qi Shi came together, and the inner room was so crowded that there was no place to stay.

Dou Zhao had no choice but to keep explaining that he was seriously ill, but he felt a little tired occasionally, but Dou Shiheng still sent the stewards around him to bring the medicinal materials.

Go on like this.Dou Xiuchang and Dou Yuchang will probably send someone to question them.

Dou Zhao had no choice but to "OK".

It made the Bie sisters laugh in private.Su Lan even said: "I know it's hard for the emperor to be a good emperor. If the emperor wants to be lazy one day and not go to court, let's not talk about the concubines in the harem, even the ministers in the cabinet will quarrel the emperor. Can't live in peace."

Su Xin also joked with her: "It can be seen that this 'sneak in time' is not something everyone can do."

Seeing that the sisters were in a good mood, Dou Zhao joked, "Xiao Xiang, the owner of the other hall, can Zhao Liangbi help?"

When the Bie sisters went back.Zhao Liangbi took the chicken feather pawn arrow that she had given him before, and said, "This is what the young lady told me." The sisters of the Bie clan are all women, so I just leave it to him to run errands. I went with the sisters of the Bie clan. Dingzhou,

Su Xin and Su Lan didn't know whether they didn't see Zhao Liangbi's thoughts or didn't understand the meaning of Dou Zhao's words at all. They smiled generously and said, "Why didn't you help? Buying sacrifices, arranging banquets, and entertaining guests, thanks Shopkeeper Zhao." On the contrary, Dou Zhao didn't know what to say.

There were no Bies sisters in the previous life, Zhao Liangbi and Gan Lu got married smoothly, and the two respected each other like guests, which made me envious.In this life, Zhao Liangbi met Su Xin.

What else is going to change?

Dou Zhao was a little dazed, but also looking forward to it.

Ji Yong sent her a close servant to give her two 50-year-old ginseng: "Our young master said that sliced ​​ginseng and taking a piece every day before going to bed can calm the nerves and nourish Qi."

The Ji family really deserves to be a century-old wealthy family, and he just gave it to her like this, a holy product that no one else can buy with money.

Dou Zhao sincerely thanked: "Say to your young master, thank you for his ginseng, I'm already healed." Thinking about this medicinal material that can save a life, he didn't say anything, so Su Xin put it away and offered a reward Got two top-notch Feng Hong.

Thank you respectfully.

Dou Zhao asked him whether Ji Yong would spend the New Year at Dou's house or return to Yixing.

"It turns out that our old master asked our young master to celebrate the New Year with the two masters in Kyoto, but our young master said that Kyoto is not fun, so he came with Master Biao." Zi Shang was articulate, and he spoke clearly , "I'll go back to Kyoto with our aunt in spring."

Then give him a gift in return during the Chinese New Year.

It's just that this person doesn't lack anything, so I don't know what to give?

Dou Zhaozheng was in a dilemma, Ji Yong sent someone to ask Dou Zhao to help write the Spring Festival couplets: "...I was just idle, so I can help you. I don't know, this and that are saying something, five hundred couplets, all Throw it to me. Since you are all right, come and help me! Otherwise, when will this Spring Festival couplet be written.”[

This is the responsibility of the disciples of the Dou family, so what does it matter to her?

Even if you can't write it, you can't talk about her success.

But thinking of those two ginsengs, Dou Zhao decided to take a trip.

Just about to go out.Happy to report: "Young Master He is leaving for Anyang tomorrow."

Dou Zhao asked him, "How much money did the Dongfu send Cheng Yi?"

"500 taels."

"So much!" Dou Zhao was very surprised. Looking at Dou's family's account books, the largest expenditure of Cheng Yi was only 300 taels.It will be even less if she is Mrs. Hou, 200 taels.

It seems that the Dou family spared no effort to curry favor with the He family!

She ordered Gao Xing: "Then send 500 taels of Cheng Yi as Dong Fu's order."

Happily, Happily, someone carried the money and followed Dou Zhao to Dongfu.

He went to the guest room to send Cheng Yi to He Yu, and Dou Zhao went to Ji's.

He Yu was reading a book in the inner room, when he heard the person from Dou Shiying's house in the hall outside who came to deliver Cheng Yi to the steward next to him, "Miss Four said", he couldn't help but wondered secretly, couldn't help but come out of the inner room, and asked Person: "Is the fourth lady in your house presiding over the middle school?"

"Of course." Happy has always been proud of Dou Zhao.Respectfully and authentically, "Master Seven and Mrs. Seven are in the capital, and our fourth lady is in charge of all family affairs. Our fourth lady is very capable. The food and clothing of the people in the house, the business of the family, the entertainment of each room, What can we do without our Fourth Miss? I usually read and write with my husband. No, Master Ji Jiabiao couldn’t finish writing Spring Festival couplets, so he specially invited our Fourth Miss to help.” Finally, he said with emotion, “How about we Why did Master Seven send Miss Fifth back to our Miss Fourth to discipline him?"

He Yu was taken aback and said, "What's the matter with writing Spring Festival couplets?" There was an urgency in his tone that he didn't realize.

Gao Xing hurriedly talked about this tradition of the Dou family, and repeatedly emphasized: "...No matter the age, as long as the children of the Dou family can write well, they can help write."

He Yu let out an "oh", and let the servant who was close to him reward him with two high-quality Feng Hong, and went back to the inner room to stay in a daze for a long time.Then he ordered the servant next to him: "Give me a change of clothes, I should go and say goodbye to Mr. Ji when I go."

The servant hurriedly responded respectfully, changed He Yu into a bright red silk gown, put a gold hairpin on it, and helped He Yu hang sachets, purses and other things on his waist.

He Yu suddenly thought of Ji Yong.

That guy must be another cloth robe.

He told the servant: "Don't use the gold hairpin, use that bronze hairpin."

The servant hurriedly helped him put the hairpin back on.He nodded with satisfaction, and then went to the courtyard where Ji Yong lived.

Ji Yong is not at home.

His entourage told He Yu: "Our son is with my aunt."

He Yu laughed.

How did I come up with the idea that Dou Zhao is here with Ji Yong?

He went to Ji's.

When I entered the door, I saw Ji Yongzheng complaining to Dou Zhao: "...Who made this broken rule? Our Ji family has passed down the tradition for a hundred years and nothing like this has happened? Can writing Spring Festival couplets make you harmonious with your neighbors? I think it's better to give a reward during the Chinese New Year. A few coppers made them even more grateful..."

Rewarding coins, is that what the merchant's family does, okay?

Dou Zhao said angrily: "Each family has its own rules, has anyone in our family ever said that you belong to the Ji family?"

Ji Yong didn't make a sound.

Dou Zhao was still puzzled, and looked at him pretending to be confused: "Are you really a child of the Ji family? Could it be that you hugged him wrong!"

Ji Yong was so angry that he jumped up: "If you want to help, you can help, and if you don't help, you can leave. A girl, why are you talking so much?"

Does it mean she's playing tricks?

This is the seven crimes.

Naturally, Dou Zhao would not let him talk about it, and said, "Are you showing off in front of our Dou family again? Otherwise, why do everyone have something at the same time? Our Dou family sends so many Spring Festival couplets to the neighbors every year, but I've never heard of someone who can't finish writing. It can be seen that no matter how smart and capable this person is, he can't make people angry..."

"Dou Zhao!" Ji Yong gritted his teeth and handed her a pen, "Will you write or not?"

"Don't write!" Dou Zhao simply dropped the pen on the desk.

There was a sound of footsteps from far and near.

The two followed the prestige at the same time, and not only saw He Yu, who was smiling and nodding at them with a rich son's air, but also Song Yan who hurried over.

"Miss Si," he said timidly, wiping the sweat from his brow, "I help Ji Juren write Spring Festival couplets, is this appropriate?"
