Ninefold Purple

The second wife, accompanied by the sixth wife, Ji, was playing leaf cards with the fifth uncle's two daughters-in-law Guo, Cai, and Dou Zhengchang's daughter-in-law, Han.

Seeing Dou Zhao coming in, Mrs. Six hurriedly got up and waved to her with a smile: "Come here quickly, show your uncle and grandma the cards."

The second wife's eyes are not good, and when playing cards, someone must stand behind her and quietly register the cards for her, and then help her play a few hands at critical times.

Dou Zhao knew that Ji's eyesight hadn't been very good these past few years, so it must have been a strenuous task for Ji to help Mrs. Tai read the cards like this.

She smiled and sat beside Mrs. Tai. [

Mrs. Tai and Dou Zhao were chatting one after another, while Guo and the others were listening.

"Meet your father?"

"seen."

"Why didn't you stay at home for a while?"

"Several juniors from the Hanlin Academy came to visit my father, and invited my father to go to Jing'an Temple to listen to the presiding lecture, so I came back first."

The second lady nodded.

Dou Zhao hurriedly pointed to the cards on the table: "Granduncle, Kong Jiji." Then he drew a "Kong" for the second lady, and threw a "Ji" on the card table.

Cai shi obediently played fun in front of the second wife: "It's still the fourth sister, we can't even please our ancestors."

The second lady laughed.

Everyone's attention was finally on the poker table.

When it was time for dinner, Dou Zhao helped the second wife win more than ten taels of silver.

Mrs. Cai took Dou Zhao's arm: "I didn't expect the fourth younger sister to be a master, helping the ancestor win all our money."

"Just your skin!" In just a few days, Mrs. Tai fell in love with this lively granddaughter-in-law, and she spoke intimately and easy-going.

Both Ji and Han laughed.

Guo's eyes darkened involuntarily.

Mrs. Fifth came in.

"Mom, where do you think the dinner is placed?"

After the second wife lived in Huaishu Hutong, no matter how busy she was, the fifth wife insisted on keeping her bed in the morning and evening, serving the wife's meals, and abiding by her duty as a daughter-in-law.Mrs. Tai was very satisfied, and therefore she was very lenient to Mrs. Fifth, and she was exempted from serving meals for Mrs. Fifth, but Mrs. Fifth was very persistent, and finally changed to only serve dinner.For this reason, Mrs. Tai told Dou Shishu more than once to treat Mrs. Fifth better.

The fifth wife's complexion is a bit ugly today, and her smile is also forced. [

Dou Zhao guessed that she was worrying about the rumor that the Wei family was going to divorce.

Although she is not the wife of the Dou family.But in Kyoto, Dou Shishu's official position is the biggest, and while a wife is expensive by her husband, she also has responsibilities and obligations-this matter fell on her head.

Dou Zhao found an opportunity to tell Su Xin: "You go to Mr. Ji and tell him. I have something to tell him and ask him to come here when he is free." Her elders, but she lived with her grandmother in Xidou, so everyone came to report to her if there was anything wrong.She keeps her promises, and she can make up her own mind about everything.Came to Kyoto.Although there are fewer elders above, she lives in Huaishu Hutong. If there is anything, everyone will report to Dou Shishu or the fifth wife, or if it is not good, they will report to the sixth wife. She has nothing to do.Even if he wanted to see Mr. Chen, it became very inconvenient, let alone Ji Yong.

Speaking up.It's still really good!

Perhaps it was for this reason that it took five or six days for Ji Yong to come to see her.

At this time, the fifth wife had heard the news that Wei Tingzhen had met Miss Ting'an Houfu, and she was so angry that she closed the door with the sixth wife to deal with it.

Ji Yong sat carelessly on the grand teacher's chair beside the kang, and asked Dou Zhao, "Why are you looking for me? Don't you want to tell me that you want to divorce Wei Tingyu?" There was a bit of sarcasm in his tone.

It seems that Ji Yong insists on marrying Wei Tingyu or Geng Huan.

Dou Zhao asked him, "What did you ask Dou Ming to do for you?"

Ji Yong was slightly taken aback, and said: "You know!" Then he said curiously, "How did you know? Dou Ming was caught by you?" He sighed again, "I knew Dou Ming was unreliable, no Thinking of her revealing herself so soon. What did she say to you..."

Dou Zhao stared quietly into his eyes without speaking.

Ji Yong felt a little uncomfortable being watched by her, and said loudly: "Okay, okay, why are you looking at me like that? Don't you just want to know what I asked Dou Ming to do? I'll just tell you. I looked at Wei Tingyu That kid didn't have much concentration, so he asked Dou Ming to coax Wei Tingyu to accompany her to the Daxiangguo Temple..."

After all, it still looks like Dou Ming and Wei Tingyu conferred on each other in private.

Dou Zhao couldn't help closing his eyes, and it took him a while to calm down, and asked him, "And then?"

"What?" Ji Yong was suspicious for a moment, but quickly realized it, and said with a smile, "I just wanted to see if Wei Tingyu would be fooled..."

Dou Zhao looked into his eyes and interrupted him: "I thought you would respect my decision."

Ji Yong's voice stopped abruptly, and the indifferent laughter gradually faded away, revealing a little solemnity.

"Or, do you not believe my judgment?" Dou Zhao continued, "So no matter what decision I make, as long as you think it is wrong, you will find a way to help me correct it until I follow your wishes. So far?"

not like this.

Ji Yong subconsciously wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that no matter how he defended, it seemed that they were not strong enough.

"Brother Ji." Dou Zhao stared at him sincerely, "I hope you can have more confidence in me and stop meddling in my marriage. If I need your help, I will ask you for help." She said, The corner of the mouth turned up slightly and smiled at Ji Yong.

Ji Yong couldn't laugh. [

For the first time in his life, he felt as if a big rock was pressing on his heart, making him breathless.

There was a sudden commotion outside.

This is the inner courtyard of the Dou family, how could there be such a noise?

Dou Zhao frowned slightly.

Su Xin rushed in hurriedly, ignoring Ji Yong's presence, and said in a hurry: "It's not good, Fifth Miss wants to visit Daxiangguo Temple with Marquis Jining, but Manager Gao found out and blocked the gate."

Although he knew that such a thing might happen, when it came to an end, when he heard it with his own ears, Shang Dou Zhao's expression changed.

Did Dou Ming intentionally make such a big commotion?

If we went to visit Daxiangguo Temple with Wei Tingyu, not only her name would be ruined, but the Dou family's reputation would also be ruined.The second wife will not let her go, but if she fails to visit Daxiangguo Temple with Wei Tingyu.There was no way to explain to Ji Yong.This is the best way - not only to block Ji Yong's mouth, but also not to make things get out of hand and make himself a target of public criticism.

She glanced at Ji Yong.

Ji Yong's face was very ugly.

He thinks that Dou Ming, who is superficial and knowledgeable, and who will do it obediently if he is threatened, but at the critical moment, he is with him, and he still completely obeys his request, so that he can't find anything wrong.

Dou Zhao told Su Xin: "Let's go and have a look!"

He left Ji Yong alone in the flower hall.

In the early spring afternoon, the sunshine in the flower hall through the glass makes people feel warm and warm.But the wind blowing on his body still carried a bit of biting chill.

Looking at the dust dancing in the air, Ji Yong left Dou's house in a daze.

Within a few days, he got the news that the Wei family once again invited a matchmaker to the Dou family to discuss the wedding date.

Ji Yong, who was lying on the bed and didn't want to get up, couldn't help but cursed hard.

Old Mrs. Ji walked in with a smile, and said dotingly: "I heard that you are not feeling well? I think you are in good spirits. Who made our family unhappy? Would you like your great-grandfather to beat him for you?" Kid's muzzle.

Ji Yong felt very annoying.

He glanced at his great-grandfather and said lazily, "Why didn't you hang out with your cousin and the others today?"

The implication is to let Mrs. Ji have fun wherever it is fun.

Old Master Ji smiled and sat beside Ji Yong, and said: "I heard that the Dou family and the Wei family have already started discussing the date of marriage. It seems that your plan is useless!"

Ji Yong was shocked and sat up suddenly.He opened his eyes wide and looked at Mrs. Ji.

Old Master Ji laughed even more happily: "You want to spoil the reputation of Marquis of Jining, so that the Dou family is dissatisfied with Marquis of Jining and withdraws from the Wei family. In the end, the son of the British prince is involved, and Marquis of Jining's reputation is not bad. Cheng, and married Song Mo. Then you instigated Dou Ming to lie to Jininghou to visit Daxiangguo Temple together. As a result, Dou Ming did not go out and the matter was exposed. Not only did the Dou family not withdraw from the Wei family, but they also seemed to have settled their suspicions. I sat down and decided on the date of the wedding...Jianming, what are your plans now?" There was a bit of teasing in his tone.Quite a taste of schadenfreude.

Ji Yong's face suddenly turned livid.

Old Mrs. Ji said: "I mean, I saw Ming. When you were young, you jumped off the eaves wearing a piece of cloth. You said you wanted to learn how to fly birds. Later, you burned half of the ancestral house. You said you wanted to practice the elixir of immortality. Later, You said that you want to be a courtier, so that you can worship the prime minister and enter the cabinet before the age of 30, and give the Ji family an explanation; although it is absurd, there is always a reason. Look at you now, the fourth lady of the Dou family has already said I understand very well, I want to marry into the Wei family, but you are lucky, you insist on dismantling the family, so tell me, what is it for you?"

As if listening to the teacher's question, Ji Yong immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

"Since your old man knows everything, tell me, is someone like Wei Tingyu worthy of the fourth sister? If the fourth sister marries Wei Tingyu, it will be like a flower stuck in cow dung. It's like a blue-and-white porcelain pen holder with wolf hair, it looks good, but it's not easy to use."

"Even so, so what?" The smile on Mrs. Ji's face gradually faded away, because the curious and lively eyes from time to time added a bit of solemnity and showed a bit of sharpness, "I remember one time I brought a You and Mingo

Beads of sweat appeared on Ji Yong's forehead!
