Ninefold Purple

In the evening, Dou Zhao, who was only allowed to drink a glass of wine, slept with his aunt and cousin Zhao Zhangru.

They said goodbye.

Although there are often letters to and from, being able to squeeze together on the same bed and look at the face that I miss day and night is a pleasure that letters cannot satisfy.

Soon, the sound of the third watch drum came to my ears.

Zhao Zhangru had fallen asleep with his head tilted. [

Dou Zhaozheng asked enthusiastically, without any sleepiness at all: "...So, the new chief secretary and uncle are in the same department?"

"So you don't have to worry about us anymore." Her topic revolved around her uncle, and her aunt naturally knew what she was thinking, and said, "Not only that, when Mr. Li joined Chunwei, he lived in an inn with your uncle, and the two of them had a good temperament. They were quite congenial, and we often exchanged letters after that. This time when Mr. Li took office, he was the first to invite your uncle to manage the affairs of his subordinates. He also negotiated more with your uncle. How could your uncle be promoted to Qingyang Mansion so smoothly? The magistrate also has a lot to do with Master Li."

Wang Yixing stayed in Shaanxi Province for several years, and the pattern of the entire temple has changed, not to mention Shaanxi, and his uncle's official career has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Dou Zhao's happiness was beyond words, she smiled and said, "Then Mrs. Li, aunt has to walk around a lot."

The aunt laughed and said, "Our Shougu has really grown into a big girl, and she even knows this."

Dou Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, and asked about the three cousins.

"They are all very good." The aunt said in a general way, and then asked about Dou Zhao's birthday ceremony, "Who will insert the hairpin for you? Who are the judges and praisers?"

"The second lady is going to help me insert the bamboo stick. The judge and the praiser were originally scheduled to be Miss Shu, and I will find one from among the relatives." Dou Zhao smiled, "I didn't expect that you and the sixth aunt would come back, the sixth My aunt was afraid that I would not have any supporters or supporters here, so she brought Cousin Ji over here, since you are here, why don't you help me insert it?"

Compared with the second wife, Dou Zhao hopes that his aunt will be the guest of honor.Moreover, my aunt came from afar. Out of respect for Dou Zhao's family, as long as Dou Zhao gets out, he should offer to let his aunt insert the bamboo stick.

It turned out that the second wife personally helped Dou Zhao insert the bamboo pole!

My aunt was very surprised, but more, she was relieved.

Letting the second wife who is highly respected in Zhending help to insert the hairpin will improve Dou Zhao's status, and it will only benefit Dou Zhao and not harm.

She Zhao Zhangru came back because she was afraid that Dou Zhao's Jijili would not have a suitable judge or praiser, but now that everything was arranged properly, she was relieved and did not mention Zhao Zhangru's matter.

"It's better to let the second wife insert the hairpin for you!" The aunt laughed, "It's rare that she has such a heart. But it's your sixth aunt, you have to be filial to her, she can treat you like a daughter born to you."

Dou Zhao nodded repeatedly.

The aunt was concerned again, and urged Dou Zhao with a smile: "We are going to stay in Zhending for two months. If you have any questions, it is enough to ask. Go to bed now, and there will be a wedding ceremony tomorrow! Such an important day, if you are energetic If it doesn't work, it will be bad." Then he helped her tuck the quilt.

Dou Zhao was giggling like a child, and couldn't sleep, but thinking of his aunt coming back from such a long distance, he must be very tired, so he stopped talking.

Soon, she heard her aunt's steady breathing.

In the quiet night, the normally deserted room suddenly felt warm. [

Dou Zhao curled up his mouth and closed it, then fell into a deep sleep, and woke up the next day after being pushed by Su Xin.

She sat up hastily.

Auntie's calm and smiling voice came from beside her ear: "No hurry, no hurry! It's still early! I told you to sleep again, but Su Xin said, if you let her get upright, she will wake you up. I can't stop it either."

"Is this just right?" Dou Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that Zhao Zhangru was still sleeping like a piglet, and such a movement did not wake her up.

"It's been three quarters since Maozheng." Su Xin hurriedly said, "In half an hour, the Second Tai Furen and the others will come over."

Dou Zhao made the final calculation in his heart, and he became more relaxed before it was too late.

She let the nanny she invited help her dress up, while her aunt went to wake Zhao Zhangru up.

Zhao Zhangru yelled, he took off his shoes and found that he didn't wear socks, and he couldn't find the sweat towel after wearing socks, so he shouted anxiously: "Shougu, lend me one of your sweat towels." The waiters covered their mouths and laughed.

The aunt was funny and angry, and scolded: "Look at you, you are two years older than Shougu, but not as stable as Shougu. How can I marry you off with confidence like you are?"

Zhao Zhangru blushed.

Hearing that there was something in these words, Dou Zhao took advantage of his aunt going to the toilet and asked his third cousin in a low voice, "Did I have another wedding wine?"

Zhao Zhang gave Dou Zhao a hand, and said in a low voice embarrassingly: "Daddy wants to keep me at home..."

The memory of the previous life gradually became clear in Dou Zhao's mind.

My uncle has never taken concubines, and has only three daughters.Both the eldest cousin and the second cousin were married to his scholarly family in the place where he wandered, and the eldest cousin's husband was also awarded a Jinshi.The third cousin is recruiting a son-in-law at home.It's just that except for the eldest cousin, she has never met the other two cousins, let alone have any friendship.She didn't know who the third cousin was married to.

She looked at Zhao Zhangru who was pouting, and said with a smile, "What? Don't you want to stay at home?"

"Will it be of any use to me!" Zhao Zhang murmured, "I can't let my parents depend on me!"

A good man with ambition who is willing to marry.

Dou Zhao can understand Zhao Zhangru's mood, but as she said, don't let her uncle and aunt depend on her old age.

The atmosphere was a little dull for a while.

Zhao Zhangru hurriedly smiled and said, "Forget it, don't talk about me. Today is your good day."

However, there is no bad news about my uncle's family, so I must be living a good life... Besides, the future is long, and now Zhao Zhangru is not engaged.

Dou Zhao smiled and took Zhao Zhangru's arm and went to the hall. [

After a while, the women's family members of Dongfu and some wives who watched the ceremony all arrived.

The second wife wore the dress of the third wife grandly, and she also lightly applied some powder. She wore an emerald green head and looked very energetic.

She took her aunt's hand as soon as she entered the door, and said with a smile: "Today, I will insert a bamboo stick for Shougu, and ask your daughter to give Dou Zhao a tray, and Miss Ji's family will be the praiser." Then, without waiting for my aunt to say goodbye, she said, "This piece I decide the matter, and none of you should say anything. You came all the way to celebrate Shougu and Ji, this kind of affection is not only remembered by Shougu, but also by me."

Everything changes.

In the past, the second wife naturally wanted to suppress her aunt for the sake of the Dou family, but now she has to lift up her aunt in order to suppress Wang Yingxue.

Dou Zhao knew in his heart that he was more happy to see such a scene, so he pulled his aunt's sleeves and asked her aunt to agree.

Pang Jinlou's wife, who was treated as an ordinary guest and didn't even have a seat assigned, looked very ugly.

The aunt thought that Dou Zhao was alone in Dou's parents, and couldn't bear to make her sad, so she quickly agreed.

The hall was peaceful.

When the auspicious time came, Zhao Zhangru supported the red gold and ruby-studded Buyao specially sent by Dou Shiying for Dou Zhao and Jianli, and Yu Jiling assisted the second lady to insert the Buyao in Dou Zhao's hair.

The golden phoenix steps are lifelike, and the rubies are shining brightly, against which Dou Zhao, who is dressed in a bright red brocade robe inlaid with gold and sapphire blue passionflower, is graceful and luxurious, radiant and radiant. Ling couldn't help but look sideways.

She looked at Dou Zhao who was generously and enthusiastically sifting wine for the elders during the banquet, and hesitated to speak several times.

But Zhao Zhangru whispered to her: "Shougu is really beautiful today, don't you think so?"

Ji Ling nodded and hesitated, "Is she really engaged to the Marquis of Jining?"

"Of course." Zhao Zhangru smiled like a flower, "My mother is here this time, not only to congratulate Shougu and Ji, but also to see how Shougu's dowry is prepared. Didn't the Jining Marquis send someone to say Do you want Shougu to marry within a hundred days? My mother thinks that Jining Mansion looks down on people, and Shougu's dowry should not be neglected..."

Ji Ling let out a "huh" and listened absent-mindedly.

※※※※※

After two days, the guests who came to congratulate him all dispersed, and my aunt took Zhao Zhangru back to her natal home. It was rare for Ji to come back to show his filial piety in front of the second wife, so Dou Zhao had time to check the list of gifts.

"Hey, Mr. Yan, Xu Qing and Lu Ming all sent congratulatory gifts!"

"Yeah." Li Dan Suxin had already counted it before, and he probably knew who gave what, "Not only did the three of them send congratulatory gifts, Tanjiazhuang also sent a Wanshou Jiangshou Buddha as a congratulatory gift."

"Ah!" Dou Zhao was very surprised, and laughed, "I'm not celebrating my birthday." But it also made her a little curious, and told Su Xin, "Let's go and have a look."

Su Xin and Dou Zhao went to the warehouse where the gifts were placed.

There are too many gifts, and the volume is on the way.

Su Xin and Gan Lu took a few little maids to find it after searching for a long time.

The Longevity Buddha is only three feet long, but it is carved out of suet jade.

Dou Zhao said with a smile: "Now that Tanjiazhuang does something good, we have to give a big gift."

"What's rare is this dignity." Su Xin smiled, "Tan Family Village is in Lingbi County, and it's one of the few big families."

Dou Zhao nodded, but wondered why he didn't see Ji Yong's congratulatory gift.

With his personality, he shouldn't miss this excitement.

She went back and looked at the list again.

Indeed, there was no congratulatory gift from Ji Yong.

Neither did Song Mo's.

But I saw a piece of Zhao Boju's "Pavilions on Fairy Mountains" sent by Wu Shan.

Sandwiched in the Ru Kiln Linghua Brush Wash given to her by Dou Dechang.

Dou Zhao could not help but sigh.

Instruct Su Xin to keep "The Picture of Pavilions in the Immortal Mountains" at the bottom of the box.

In a few days, the sixth aunt came to leave with Ji Lingze: "... I will be hired in September, and there are still a lot of things waiting for me at home." And tried to persuade Dou Zhao to go to Kyoto with her through my grandmother, " ... She is going to marry in the capital in the future, so she should go there as soon as possible to familiarize herself with the situation." Dou Zhao said, "We will live in Mao'er Alley with me. If anyone asks, just say that I asked you to help me. At most Say hello to Liuye Hutong. Can you still be forced to stay?"

Just to say hello, she doesn't want to fight with members of the Wang family!

Dou Zhao smiled and shook his head.

She will go to Kyoto, but not now.
