Ninefold Purple

Mother stayed up all night, and Dou Zhao also stayed up all night.What mother was thinking, Dou Zhao didn't know, she thought about Wei Tingyu all night.

Day thinking, night dreaming.

Her mother-in-law had always treated her generously, and it made sense to dream of her mother-in-law.How could she dream of Wei Tingyu?

Where is she?

Dou Zhao thought of Wei Tingyu's cry and Mrs. Guo's promise that he had heard in a haze... and couldn't help but shuddered, and snuggled tightly into his mother's arms. [

The next morning, as if nothing had happened, my mother dressed up and went to the hall.

Dou Zhao pursed his lips and followed his mother every step of the way.

Her mother-in-law Tian's clothes are elegant yet gorgeous, with a gentle smile and a demure demeanor, like a magnolia flower blooming in spring, with a bit of beauty in the tranquility.

Dou Zhao's heart sank.

The mother-in-law looks 30 years younger.

This is not the point.

The point is, she knows her mother-in-law's temperament too well.

When my father-in-law was alive, my mother-in-law was as beautiful as pearls and jade. Her biggest regret was that spring came too late, and the peonies she planted beside the gazebo had only just formed flower buds in April.

So when her father-in-law left, she suddenly lost her mind, and people, like that flower, quickly withered, withered, and lost their vitality... let alone living so calmly and brightly?

She looked behind her mother-in-law.

I saw Wei Tingyu who was only five or six years old.

Her fair face was still a little baby fat, her moist jade-like eyes were wide open, pure and clean, looking at the people and things around her with unmistakable curiosity.

Feeling someone looking at him, he looked over.Seeing Dou Zhao staring at him blankly, he raised his small face, let out a soft "hum" through his nostrils, and turned his face away.

The mother-in-law has already hugged Dou Zhao: "This is your little girl? She is so beautiful!" She smiled warmly and kindly, and gave Dou Zhao a red gold necklace inlaid with precious stones and a pair of red gold bracelets. Greeting ceremony. "However, your little girl doesn't look like you at all. It can be seen that she looks like my brother-in-law!" She said, smiling at her mother with a little teasing in her eyes.

The mother pursed her lips and smiled, her smile was charming, with a sense of pride, as if her daughter was like a husband, which made her feel very proud, and there was no trace of arguing with her father.

The mother-in-law recruited Wei Tingyu to greet her mother.

He saluted his mother well and behaved well, and it could be seen that someone had carefully guided him.

Mother liked it very much, and gave Wei Tingyu two isolated scriptures from the previous dynasty and two ancient inkstones, and then asked him how old he was, whether he was enlightened, and what he usually did.

Wei Tingyu answered one by one, speaking clearly and methodically. [

The mother showed a look of envy: "Our Shougu is not very good at talking until now."

"Girls are no better than boys." The mother-in-law comforted her mother in a warm voice, "Girls will marry in the future, and they must be pampered. Boys will inherit the family business in the future, so you can't be strict. Besides, our brother Yu is the eldest son. , those who want to inherit the title in the future must not be sloppy." Looking at Wei Tingyu's eyes, his heart ached.

Mother nodded and wondered, "Why didn't you bring Sister Zhen back?"

"Our aunt has a very close personal relationship with the aunt of Duke Jing's mansion," the mother-in-law said with a smile. "She acted as a matchmaker, and Sister Zhen got engaged to the eldest grandson of Duke Jing's mansion. I'm forcing her to learn from female celebrities at home." He said again, "I didn't plan to bring Brother Yu this time. It was just that my grandfather told me repeatedly that he wanted to see Brother Yu, so I brought him with me."

This time Tian's return to his hometown is because Tian's grandfather, who is over eighty years old, is critically ill.

"As the old man gets older, he always misses the younger generation." The mother smiled, "Fortunately, the old man has great blessings, and he survived." Then said, "Sister Zhen is engaged, and my sister also has something on her mind. Congratulations Sister! Don't forget to send me an invitation card when Sister Zhen gets married. Otherwise, I will blame my sister."

"That's for sure." The mother-in-law said with a smile, "Our two families are friends from ancestors, no better than others."

The mother rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Is Brother Yu engaged?"

"He's still young," the mother-in-law mentioned her son's eyes softly, "Master Hou and I are all focused on Sister Zhen, and haven't considered his affairs yet!"

The mother smiled and said, "Our birthday aunt is not engaged either! I wonder when brother Yu's birthday is?"

The mother-in-law was taken aback.

Dou Zhao "thumped", his face flushed.

Wei Tingyu often said: With my majestic Marquis of Jining, what kind of noble lady in Kyoto can't get married?If it weren't for the friendship between the two generations, how could I have married you!

While saying this, he salivated and hugged her to bed.

She originally thought that Wei Tingyu wanted face, and wanted her to follow him...

Dou Zhao didn't think so.

She didn't expect to remember it in her dream, so it can be seen that she still cares about this matter in her heart.

The mother smiled coquettishly, and said: "When our adults are talking, they are standing aside like wooden stakes. Why not let them play in the study next door! The ground dragon is also burned over there to keep warm."

The mother-in-law nodded, called Wei Tingyu to her, and gave some instructions.

Wei Tingyu nodded obediently, and obediently followed Madam Yu to the study with Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao left Wei Tingyu behind, opened the noren curtain and looked out.

The mother smiled and raised the teacup, signaling her mother-in-law to drink tea. [

"I value Brother Yu's upbringing at such a young age, and I like it very much. If my sister doesn't want to, just pretend I didn't say so." His expression was somewhat sad.

"No, no!" The mother-in-law apologized, "Brother Yu is the eldest son, this matter should be discussed with Lord Hou..."

"Sister, stop talking!" The mother shyly smiled awkwardly, "I don't know the severity." Then she took the fruit on the table and asked her mother-in-law to eat, "Come, try this persimmon cake. It's homemade. It's sweet and delicious." Nuo. Does it suit your appetite?"

The mother forcibly changed the subject in this way, which made the mother-in-law very disturbed.

"Gu Qiu," she hesitated, "how about I go back and discuss it with Lord Hou?"

The mother smiled embarrassingly: "Sister, don't mention it anymore! You also know my temper, saying that the wind is the rain. I'm just talking..."

Grandma laughed.

Or when she thought of the past, her eyes became more gentle: "You, what's the matter? You're already a mother and you're still so frizzy!" As she spoke, her expression condensed slightly, and she said, "As long as you I'm willing, why don't I want to? It's just that it's not good for us two women and children to say these things here, you have to ask your brother-in-law and your father-in-law what they mean!"

"Sister!" Mother's eyes lit up, "I'm afraid I'll wrong Brother Yu!"

The mother's undisguised joy made the mother-in-law happy too, she smiled and said: "The poems and books of the Dou family are handed down, I am afraid that it is true that Shougu is wronged."

"Where, where!" Mother said, and turned back to the room to take a piece of jade pendant and handed it to the mother-in-law, "Sister, this is an ancestral item of our Zhao family, you know it. I gave it to Brother Yu."

"This..." The mother-in-law didn't answer it, and it didn't matter if she didn't.

The mother laughed and said: "If the two children are destined, you and I will be very happy. If there is no fate, I will also be Brother Yu's aunt!"

The mother-in-law smiled, thought for a while, took off a suet jade bracelet, and said: "This was given to me by my father when I got married, and I will give it to Shougu." She took the jade pendant.

The mother beamed with joy, and solemnly put the jade bracelet in her arms.

Dou Zhao's nose was sore, and she felt someone pulling her clothes.

"What are they doing?" Wei Tingyu's voice came from behind.

Dou Zhao snatched back the corner of his clothes from Wei Tingyu's hand, said, "I don't know!" and left him to go to the hot kang.

Wei Tingyu opened his mouth wide, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He ran over and got on the kang ahead of Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao glanced at him, leaning on the big welcoming pillow, absent-mindedly biting sticks of honeydew melon.

It has been four days and three nights?

Every detail is vivid and vivid...

Is this in a dream?

If not in the dream, where is she?

Dou Zhao doesn't like this out-of-control state, it's very annoying, but he doesn't want to leave this dream.

In any case, even if it was a dream, helping her mother defeat Wang Yingxue would more or less comfort her.

Wei Tingyu kept staring at Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao didn't even look at him.

His face flushed, and he said, "Is this your home?"

Dou Zhao said "hmm" and continued to think about his own thoughts.

In Jining Marquis Mansion, Wei Tingyu is the center of everything.The first time he was left out in the cold, he was indignant and said loudly, "Your tea is really bad!"

Nanny Yu was ashamed.

Dou Zhao raised his eyes, glanced at him lightly, and said, "You don't need to drink!"

"You..." Wei Tingyu blushed and turned pale with anger, and shouted, "Your food is also unpalatable!"

Dou Zhao didn't bother to talk to him, and called "Tuo Niang", "Take me to the desk!"

If she goes out at this time, with the importance her mother attaches to Wei Tingyu, she will definitely feel that she and Wei Tingyu can't get along well, and it's her who neglects Wei Tingyu, but she doesn't want to wrong herself to endure Wei Tingyu's reasoning, so she simply separates and waits for the adults to finish talking. I will naturally come to find them.

Anyway, it was almost lunch time, even if Wei Tingyu lost his temper, he wouldn't make a fuss for a long time.

Sure enough, there was no time for a cup of tea, when Wei Tingyu was staring at her like cross-eyed, he came in with a smile and invited them to the flower hall for dinner.

Dou Zhao hurriedly followed with a smile and slipped away.

It may be that grandfather and father have received the letter, but Wei Tingyu was carried by the servants to the main hall.

Dou Zhao ate his lunch comfortably.

The good habits she has cultivated make her movements as natural and generous as flowing clouds and flowing water.

The mother-in-law couldn't help but nodded and said, "You are indeed the daughter of the Dou family."

The mother was a little puzzled, but she was very interested in the praise of her mother-in-law, and put the uncertainty in her heart behind her.

After the meal, Wei Tingyu was carried back by the servant, and got a lot of pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Dou Zhao thought to himself.

Why are they still not leaving?

No matter what, we must find a way to get Wang Yingxue to sign the contract of selling himself!

If his father became cruel and kept Wang Yingxue outside, it would be even more troublesome for Wang Xingyi to recover after three years.

How can I convince my mother?

She frowned, thinking about it, but couldn't find a better way.

■

If there is a problem, discuss it with you here.

Regarding the issue of the exile of criminal officials, generally speaking, it does not involve treason, and it will not implicate the family members.Therefore, although Wang Xingyi was exiled, his family could still live a normal life. In order to take care of the scholars, the court also allowed the relatives or children of the exiles to take care of the daily life of the exiles in the place of exile, but the expenses had to be borne by themselves.Some people who were exiled were even taken care of by their parents because their parents were old, and sometimes the imperial court was exempted from exile.

Don't misunderstand that Wang Yingxue was betrayed by some official. What Wang Xingyi committed was not a major crime of treason.
