Ninefold Purple

Dou Zhao looked at the two tall magnolia trees in front of the main house, as if in a lifetime.

She smiled and said to Su Xin: "Let's go, let's go see Aunt Cui."

Su Xin also fell to the ground with a tightly hanging heart. She smiled and pulled Dou Zhao back: "My good lady, you should wash and wash before you go! Look at your current appearance, I am afraid that Aunt Cui will see you." Worrying again."

Dou Zhao lowered his head and saw several mud spots on the lilac-colored embroidered shoes.

She couldn't help laughing, took a hot bath served by Ganlu, wrung out her hair, then changed into clothes and went to her grandmother. [

Hong Gu got the letter early and waited at the door holding an umbrella.

Seeing Dou Zhao, he bent his knees to bless him with a smile, and asked about the farm: "How is it? Can the crops be saved?"

"We can only count on Qiumai." Dou Zhao said, and entered the main room with Honggu.

Grandma sat on the large kang next to her, and she already knew what was going on by listening to the voice. She asked each family about the situation of the disaster, how to deal with it, and what the villagers said.

Dou Zhao answered one by one, but Song Mo naturally didn't mention a word.

Grandmother praised Dou Zhao: "... I didn't expect you to be so talented in farming! This matter is also handled very well. When the rain stops, you remember to tell Mr. Chen that each household will send ten buckets Cornmeal, let's get through these few months first."

"Mr. Chen is in a hurry and went to the capital." This is what he and Chen Qushui discussed in advance, "The old man was favored by a friend when he was young. Now that this friend is in trouble, Mr. Chen rushed over to help. Only in autumn can we return to true determination."

Grandma did not suspect him.I was just worried that Chen Qushui left in such a hurry: "It seems that this matter is not trivial. Shou Gu, you should write a letter to your father, but I can't help you. There is an acquaintance. You should be more courageous." He asked her again, "You Have you sent off Mr. Chen Cheng Yi? Who is serving Mr. Chen? He is also a man of his age, you need to take care of him more."

Grandma treats people with sincerity and honesty.Not a trace of hypocrisy.

Dou Zhao sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured, everything has been arranged properly, and Mr. Chen will not be wronged."

In fact, he did leave in a hurry, and because he was walking with Song Mo, Mr. Chen went on the road alone, with only ten taels of silver and 20 taels of silver bills that Dou Zhao and others made up.Fortunately, a few clothes were left in the farm, otherwise it would be a problem to change clothes.

Song Mo should be responsible for Mr. Chen's food and clothing.

Dou Zhao thought angrily, but was still worried that Mr. Chen would be wronged. When Duan Gongyi went to the cashier to pay the money, she told Duan Gongyi: "Find a way to send 1000 taels to Mr. Chen."

She has lived in Kyoto for ten years.I know that living in Kyoto is not easy.

Duan Gongyi complied, and following Dou Zhao's instructions, he bought not only some medicinal materials for nourishing the body according to Mrs. Tan's preferences, but also bought some calligraphy and paintings, and some ancient books and sent them to Tan's Village.

Mrs. Tan was over seventy years old, and when he heard that Dou Zhao had sent someone to visit him, he brushed his chest-length snow-white beard and smiled, and said to his grandson, Tan Juren, "This Fourth Miss Dou is a little interesting."

Tan Juren just laughed along with him.

Mrs. Tan asked about the child.

"I asked someone to take the child to Baoding Mansion overnight, and I asked Mr. Mei to take the nurse back. At that time, I will only say that the eighteen families have given birth to twins." Tan Juren said, "If the Jiang family can survive this Tribulation. I want the child to go back, and say that the child died. If I can’t survive this catastrophe, I will ask Shiba and them to come back in two years. By then, the child will be two or three years old, even if it is a few days away Not coming out. If anyone actually sees something, say one had a normal birth and one had a difficult one. Can also be put off - not all twins look exactly alike.[

The old man of the Tan family nodded in satisfaction, twirled his beard with his hands and said with emotion: "You always blame the rules established by your ancestors for blocking your future, but look at the Jiang family, it is rich and prosperous, and the fire is cooking oil. What happened? Someone brought the pot! I can't even keep my own flesh and blood..."

Tan Juren blushed suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, we really don't care about the Jiang family's affairs?"

"Everything in the world, every peck and drink is determined by the sky." Old Mrs. Tan sighed, "Even if we want to control it, can we control it? If we can kill him alone, in exchange for the lives of the whole family, his death is not wronged. .”

Tan Juren thought of the figure drinking from a big bowl, fencing swords and singing, looking at the world, and felt that his vision was suddenly blurred.

※※※※※

Dou Zhao is also thinking about the child, but she is thinking about whether the child was alive or dead in the previous life.

If only I had paid more attention to Song Mo's affairs back then!

She also had to decide how far to go with the Tan family.

With such a fierce tiger lying next to each other, how many people can sleep peacefully?

Those who know fear, if it weren't for Song Mo, how would she know about the Tan family?

What a headache!

Dou Zhao fiercely bit the plum in his hand, half of the plum was bitten away with a click.

Su Lan ran in bouncing.

"Miss Si, one piece of good news and one piece of bad news," she asked Dou Zhao, blinking her eyes slightly, "Which one do you want to hear first?"

Dou Zhao handed her a plum and said, "Listen to the bad news first, and then the good news."

Su Lan giggled, and said: "The bad news is that Mr. Wang was impeached. It is said that he buys and sells by force, does not cultivate personal morality, and allows his children to bully others..."

She was impeached because of Duke Ding!

Dou Zhao was a little disappointed, and said, "Did you say what they did?"

"No." Su Lan said with a smile, "But I heard that she was scolded very badly, even the emperor ordered to question her."

Dou Zhao curled his lips and said, "Then what you call good news is that my fifth uncle has become a cabinet scholar?"

"How do you know?" Su Lan's eyes widened.

"It's not easy." Dou Zhaoyi said in a downcast voice, "If someone else impeached Wang Xingyi, he would definitely list his crimes one by one, instead of putting a big hat on him like now and saying some general words, it must be I am afraid that the Dou family will be involved. Since even the emperor has issued an order to interrogate, no matter whether these things are true or not, the cabinet will definitely not let him join the cabinet in order to avoid suspicion. You said there is good news again, it is not my fifth uncle What else can you do if you are a cabinet scholar?”[

"Miss, you are amazing!" Su Lan was full of admiration.

"What's so great?" Dou Zhao said disapprovingly, "If you were like me, you would be as good as me."

"Not everyone can be like Miss!" Su Lan looked at Dou Zhao enviously, "Miss can't get tanned no matter how much she tans, and I can't get tanned even if I hide in the house."

Dou Zhao was taken aback.Then he laughed.

Su Xin came in through the curtain with a plate of washed peaches, and scolded her sister: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"No, no." Dou Zhao waved his hands, letting Su Lan eat peaches, "Who did you hear these two news from?"

Su Lan said: "It's the Sixth Master who sent someone back to repay the joy. The East Mansion has already started offering rewards. The little maids and servants who sweep the floor and clean the table are ten copper coins from the first year of Taiping each, and the third-class maids, The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are one hundred taels each, the second-class ones are two hundred, the first-class ones are three hundred, and the stewards and nuns are one tael of silver, and I saw with my own eyes the attendants of the third master bring the silver back!"

In the officialdom, one day earlier, one day was awarded Jinshi, and one day later, one was awarded Jinshi.Joining the cabinet one day earlier and entering the cabinet one day later is an important basis for seniority.

This is indeed something to celebrate.

She told Su Xin: "Wait for the people from the Dong Mansion to announce the good news to us, and we will reward them the same way as the Dong Mansion."

Su Xin smiled and went to prepare copper coins and silver.

The person who announced the good news from Dongfu came over.

"Go and tell Fifth Miss." Dou Zhao called Gan Lu and Su Juan to come in and help her dress up, "We have to go to the mansion to say congratulations to the second wife."

Su Lan took the initiative to run to inform Dou Ming.

When I came back, I whispered to Dou Zhao: "As soon as I told Miss Wu, Miss Wu burst into tears. I said, if you have red eyes on this happy day, I'm afraid the second lady will be unhappy. Miss Wu I was so angry that I threw a teacup at me. I blinked. The teacup fell to the ground and was smashed to pieces. I told Madam Zhou that this teacup was a new fighting color from the official kiln. A set of tea sets cost 12 taels of silver. , If one of them is broken, this set of tea sets will be useless. I'm afraid the nurse in charge of the storeroom will not explain it to you, why don't you buy a set outside to make up for it..."

Ganlu and Sujuan covered their mouths and laughed.

Dou Zhaonai shook his head.

At her age, she also liked to fight with others, let alone Su Lan, a little girl who was so lively that she was afraid of chaos.

"You are all older than her, why are you arguing with her?" Dou Zhao taught them, "Don't say such things in the future."

Ganlu and Sujuan agreed, but Sulan made a face and ran away.

After about half an hour, Dou Ming, dressed up, came over accompanied by Nanny Zhou.

Seeing that her face was smooth and rosy, Dou Zhao nodded secretly and went to the East Mansion together.

Everyone's faces were brimming with unconcealable joy, seeing Dou Zhao and Dou Ming congratulate Dou Ming non-stop, the flattery flowed out like running water, it was more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

After entering the second lady's hall, Dou Zhao discovered that everyone in Dou's family was present.

The second wife is discussing with the second wife how to celebrate.

Seeing Dou Zhao coming, he quickly invited her to sit beside him, and asked her, "Is it better to sing this big play for ten days or fifteen days?"

Last time, there were three scholars in the family, and they sang a big show for ten days.

Dou Zhao said with a smile: "I think the family members should gather around and have a meal. Singing opera is too noisy."

It's just that they are celebrating so much just after entering the cabinet, it's a bit arrogant, like that rich man.

The big furniture is stunned.

The second lady pondered for a moment, clapped her palms, and said, "It's better for us, Shougu, to be transparent. That's it. It's settled, the family members celebrate together."

The second wife also realized that when she looked at Dou Zhao again, she was a little more solemn: "Your sixth aunt has gone to the capital, and there is one less helper at home. Shou Gu, you have nothing to do at home. These few days Come here and help me set up a few tables, right?"

This is a rare exercise opportunity for other women in the boudoir, but for her, who can instruct others how to host the middle class, it is to help.

She wouldn't do such a thankless thing!

"I don't understand anything, let some sisters-in-law help you!" Dou Zhao refused with a smile, "The sun came out just after the rain stopped, and my greenhouse over there suffered disaster. I have to keep an eye on those maids and mothers-in-law to sort out my greenhouse, otherwise the two-color peony that survived this year may be doomed."

Mrs. Er Tai didn't know how to grow flowers, but she knew what it meant to grow a two-color peony, so she let Dou Zhao back to the house without hesitation.

After the Dou family had a celebration banquet, news came from the capital that Wang Xingyi was transferred to be the governor of Yunnan.
