Ninefold Purple

Dou Zhao was in a complicated mood.

If the woman who suddenly appeared was the stepmother, the mother would be disappointed if she tried to make a fuss about her identity.

Her stepmother's surname is Wang, her maiden name is Yingxue, she is the daughter of Wang Xingyi.

Wang Xingyi, courtesy name Yousheng, was born in Nanwa Township, Lingshou County, North Zhili Province.In the 36th year of Zhide, he was a Jinshi in Jichou Division.At the beginning, he served as the head of the Ministry of Officials, and later he was promoted to Wai Lang, the car driver of the Ministry of War.During this period, Mongolian Altan Khan led troops to invade the northern border several times. At that time, Xinghou Shiduanlan, the commander-in-chief who guarded Datong, asked to open the horse market to make peace with him.Wang Xingyi wrote

Dou Zhao hugged the aunt's neck tightly: "I want, mother, yes, aunt, yes, third aunt..." Weeping loudly, the aunt was shocked.

The mother hurriedly took Dou Zhao, blushing with embarrassment and annoyance, "I don't know what's wrong with this child. These days, he always follows me every step of the way. Whenever I leave, he cries so badly that it makes people uneasy." ..."

The eldest aunt sighed and stroked Dou Zhao's hair: "People of the older generation often say that mother and daughter are connected. This child is smart. She knows you are suffering, and she is afraid!"

What she said made her mother cry, but the hand holding Dou Zhao was much tighter.

"Just let her follow you!" The third aunt sighed, "Anyway, she is still young."

Mother said "hmm".

A group of people turned around the hall and went to the flower hall in the backyard.

It was snowing heavily, and the plum blossoms on the branches were in full bloom.

A woman with a graceful figure was wearing a rose-red jacket and stood upright beside her, complementing the cold plum blossoms outside.

Dou Zhao's heart tightened.

It's stepmother!

She will never forget this figure!

When her grandfather and grandmother passed away one after another, and her third uncle sent her to the capital to reunite with her father, she once stood by the side like this, looking at herself sharply; At the side, staring at herself with a sinking face; after I let Wei Tingyu take over the maid who sent her to the house and then asked Wei Tingyu to give the maid away, when she returned to her natal home for New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival, she once stood by the side like this, holding her hands tightly Looking at herself silently; when she wanted to marry Zeng Yifen's granddaughter for her younger brother Dou Xiao and was rejected, she called herself back to her natal home, and once stood by with such a hideous face...

Dou Zhao stared at the figure intently.

From trepidation to laughter, she walked barefoot in purgatory.

Who has pity on their own pain and wailing.

Mother's steps slowed down.

The rains and rains are like poplar flowers.

The figure turned around.

Smooth forehead, high nose bridge, clear eyes, beautiful like mountains and rivers. [

The mother jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Why are you? Wang Yingxue, why are you!"

She was on the verge of falling, holding Dou Zhao's arm and falling down. Dou Zhao hugged his mother's waist so as not to fall.

The eldest aunt and the third aunt looked at each other, and the third aunt wittily embraced Dou Zhao in her arms.

Wang Yingxue walked out calmly.

She stood under the veranda and bowed her knees to salute her mother, calling "sister" softly.

"Our Zhao family has only one daughter, I don't know when I have another sister?" The mother sneered, although she tried her best to maintain the calm and elegant look just now, she couldn't hide the embarrassment between her brows, "Did you recognize the wrong person! "

Wang Yingxue lowered her eyelids and knelt on the cold bluestone bricks under the veranda, with a humble and humble expression, just like the respect she showed in front of Dou's parents: "Sister, our two families live next to each other. I don't have sisters, and my sister doesn't. There is only one elder brother, who grew up together like siblings, and my elder sister is the most clear about my temper. Although my family is poor, I am not that shameless. Gao Jiaming knew that my family was in trouble, and married his daughter. My sister-in-law married my elder brother In less than a month, he offered to let his elder brother take care of his father to go to Xiningwei. Now my nephew, Brother Nan, is seriously ill, and even if he sells the four acres of fertile land that the family relies on for his livelihood, he can’t make up enough money for medical treatment. I originally thought that as long as someone Yes, I admit to being a slave or a servant girl, but I never thought about it, but I met my brother-in-law." She said, and kowtowed three times to her mother, "It's a big mistake, I have nothing to say. I can only ask you , if my sister agrees to let me in, I will forget about my predecessors and serve my sister wholeheartedly. My sister..." The eyes flickered in the corner of her eyes, "If you want to blame it, you can only blame good luck." You must serve your sister well!"

"Ha!" The mother sneered, looked at Wang Yingxue with piercing eyes, and raised her eyebrows, "What if I don't agree?"

Wang Yingxue was slightly stunned, then she laughed at herself and said, "Then I beg my sister to reward me with a white silk."

Without saying a word, the mother took off the big red sweat towel around her waist and threw it on the ground. She smiled and asked Wang Yingxue, "Is it long enough?"

Wang Yingxue looked at her mother firmly, stood up slowly, walked in front of her mother with a smile on her mouth, bent her knees, picked up the red sweat towel, said "Thank you sister" lightly, turned and walked towards the flower hall.

The heavy snow fell between her lacquered black hair, and soon disappeared.

This is Zhuangzi whom my aunt married as a dowry. If there is a murder case, her reputation will be ruined.

The eldest aunt became frightened, and hurriedly said: "Seventh brother and sister, who is the girl? How do I know you?"

The mother looked at the flower hall where the door was closed with a "snap", and said in a daze: "She is Wang Yousheng's daughter, and lives in Nanwa... She used to be the same as my father, and our two families had contacts from time to time... She is two years younger than me... When I got married, she gave me a handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers on both sides... I never thought... I never dreamed of it... No wonder Wan Wan refuses to say yes Who...they made a trap to trick me..."

The eldest aunt and the third aunt were shocked: "Wang Yousheng, is that Wang Yixing who was exiled because he offended Chen Dong?"

Mother nodded slightly, and shed two lines of tears.

"Why is Seventh Uncle so confused? Her father is a Jinshi in Jihou years, and he is in the same discipline as your Fifth Uncle." The eldest aunt was in a hurry, "No, I have to go and tell my younger uncle..." Then she told the third aunt, "Stop Miss Wang quickly, I'll call someone!"

Because it is not a glorious thing for a young man to take a concubine, the servants serving inside and outside the flower hall were dismissed by the aunt long ago.

The third aunt also realized the seriousness of the situation.

The Dou family is not afraid of offending the rich and powerful, but they are afraid of being accused of killing their down-and-out daughter.

She promised without a voice, and ran towards the flower hall with her skirt in hand.

Mother stood quietly on the bluestone slab bridge, letting snowflakes pile up on her body, turning into a snowman.

Accompanying her is only the little Dou Zhao.
