Ninefold Purple

Chapter 21 Argument

There is an endless debate in the Crane Shoutang.

When Dou Zhao rushed over, he heard the third uncle say: "...This incident was caused by the seventh brother taking a concubine, so it can be called 'envious'. In this way, the Zhao family can't say anything. It can be regarded as taking care of the dignity of the two families."

She trembled with rage.

The dead are great!

Even so, you shouldn't let your mother bear such a bad name after her death in order to shrug off responsibility! [

Don't you know what "jealousy" means to a woman?

A person as proud as my mother, if he knew what he would be like after death, would he hang himself resolutely?

No wonder those servants in the previous life were always disdainful when they mentioned their mother in private!

It can be seen that no matter what happens to people, they must find a way to survive.

Only by surviving can there be hope and a future.

Dou Zhao lifts the curtain and enters.

It's a pity that the hall is empty and spacious, and the adults are all in a heavy heart, and there are people guarding the door, no one thought that someone would barge in without a sound.

The arrival of little Dou Zhao, like a leaf falling by the river, did not stir up a single ripple.

She squeezed her fists and was about to speak when her father, who was sitting far away alone, stood up abruptly.

"No! No!" He shouted excitedly, "Gu Qiu is not such a person, you can't say that about her! You can't let her die and bear such a bad name..." As he said, his expression suddenly became pale. Somewhat dejected, her voice lowered, "She, she was killed by me..."

Dou Zhao let out a long breath, and saw the face of the second wife who was sitting at the top darkened, and said "nonsense" in a low voice, the corners of his eyes and brows became very cold and embarrassed, "What time is it now? You still say such things? How old are you, why don’t you think about it carefully! Do you want to see the Zhao family and the Dou family fight? Gu Qiu was killed by you? Tell me, you beat her ? Scolded her? Or refuted her face in front of outsiders? Could it be that her death has nothing to do with your taking a concubine? "

Father was speechless.

"I, I..." After a long time, I didn't say anything.

Dou Zhao suddenly understood.

If it weren't for the father's concubine, there would be no trouble between father and mother.In the final analysis, the Dou family still believed that this incident was caused by Wang Yingxue.

If the father does not admit it, this is unreasonable.If he admits it, it just confirms the third uncle's accusation of "being jealous"!

Could it be that Uncle could only swallow this bitter fruit in the end because he was untenable in principle and suffered unspeakable hardships?

Dou Zhao looked dazed.

The Second Madam's complexion gradually eased. [

She said sadly: "I watched Gu Qiu grow up, and she left at a young age, don't I feel bad?" As she spoke, her eyes turned red, "But heartache is heartache, but you can't have children just because you love her. Long love..."

"But, you can't talk about Gu Qiu like that!" The second wife has always been strict. Everyone in the family is afraid of her. , How do you let others think of Gu Qiu?"

"This word will not be spread!" The second lady looked at the people present with warning eyes, and said firmly, "The law is not passed on. As long as we don't say it, people from the Zhao family will still go around Can't you make a fuss? Zhao Ruifu has given birth to three daughters."

"Yes!" The third uncle took the bait and persuaded his father, "If this word gets out, we will look good. You know Ruifu's temper. He treats people with the most sincerity and seriousness. If he gets into trouble, , your taking concubines will also be ruined by everyone, and the seventh sibling will also have the reputation of being 'jealous'. Why don't you appease Ruifu first, and after the funeral of the seventh sibling, your uncle will take care of you It's better to babble than to do something impulsive and say something hurtful!" After speaking, he winked at Uncle Six, signaling him to persuade his father.

Unexpectedly, the sixth uncle said: "Third brother, don't look at me, I don't agree with this matter!"

The whole room was stunned.

Including Dou Zhao.

The sixth uncle simply stood up and said: "I don't like to see the seventh brother and sister, because I think the seventh brother is too hypocritical, but if the seventh brother ignores her for anything, she will not be happy, and the seventh brother will go and give it to me." She apologized, how can she look like a good wife? But she is dead, and you are unkind. Gentlemen are magnanimous. We have been friends with the Zhao family for several generations, so we told Ruifu the ins and outs of the matter It's clear, he can do whatever he wants. I believe that the seventh brother is not a coward," he said, nodding to his father, which kind of means that I support you, "We just need to be ashamed..." His father was full of gratitude.

Dou Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder the father and the sixth uncle are so close. The sixth uncle is upright and calm, like a famous scholar in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.And the father is as famous as the sixth uncle... Or, the father is not as bad as he imagined!

Her eyes fell on her father, and she couldn't help re-examining her father, whom she had never looked at directly in her previous life.

"Zhongzhi!" The third uncle called out the name of the sixth uncle, and argued embarrassingly, "This is just a stopgap measure..."

"People are divided into three classes, and there are high and low in actions," Uncle Six said disapprovingly, "Even if it is an expedient measure, it shouldn't tarnish other people's reputation like this..."

The two brothers who were close relatives had a quarrel.

"Okay!" The grandfather who had been silent all this time said, "Stop arguing. You must tell Ruifu what happened, but the 'jealousy' incident is also a fact! This incident is like this It's settled."

In the end, I still have to use my mother's "jealousy" to stop my uncle's mouth.

Dou Zhao raised his eyebrows.

After all, it was across the house, so it was difficult for the sixth uncle to say anything, and the third uncle also knew in his heart that this was not done kindly, so he didn't show any joy.

"Daddy..." the father called to the grandfather anxiously.

Grandpa gave a cold "hum".

There was a rush of footsteps outside, Gao Sheng said through the curtain: "Uncle Zhao is here!"

The grandfather and the second wife exchanged glances, and the second wife told the third uncle: "You and Zhongzhi will accompany Wan Wan to meet Uncle Zhao!"[

The third uncle sighed softly, and the sixth uncle accompanied their father out of the hall.

Dou Zhao thought for a while, and chased after him, but was discovered by the second wife.

"Shougu! Why are you here?" She hurriedly ordered the maid who had been sent to the yard earlier, "Bring Miss Fourth to me!"

Dou Zhao was hugged by the waist.

"Let go of me! Let me go!" She broke free from the servant girl who didn't dare to force her, and ran away in a hurry.

The door of Dou's house was opened, and Dou Zhao saw his aunt, who had been resting in the wing room, come in with three cousins, surrounded by a man in filial piety.

He is of medium height, with more delicate eyebrows than a woman.

Although more than ten years have passed, Dou Zhao still recognized her uncle Zhao Si at a glance.

Her eye sockets immediately became moist.

If she hadn't been so self-willed back then, had listened carefully to what her eldest cousin said, and thought about it carefully, she and her uncle's family would not have been strangers to each other forever.

Dou Zhao quickly ran over.

I saw my uncle stepping forward in three steps and making two steps, and punched my father in the face.

The father was a little dazed by the beating, and he staggered and fell to the ground. He didn't recover for a long time, and his white jade-like cheeks immediately swelled up.

"You bastard!" The uncle grabbed his father's skirt and punched his father again. "You took a concubine after only three years of marriage. Do you still have Gu Qiu in your eyes? Do you have a birthday girl? You bastard!"

Father was punched in the face again.

Dou Zhao exclaimed.

The third uncle, the sixth uncle, the aunt, and the three cousins ​​all shouted and surrounded them. Some called "Ruifu", some called "Daddy", some called their father, some called their uncle, and the third uncle simply stood there. Between my uncle and my father, I said loudly, "A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands".

The uncle sneered, pointed at his father and said, "What kind of gentleman is he? Does he understand me when I talk to him?" As he spoke, he stepped forward to beat his father again.

His father drove away the third uncle who was standing in front of him, and knelt down in front of his uncle: "Brother, it's all my fault, I'm sorry for Gu Qiu...you fight! You fight...I'd rather you fight I have a meal..."

The sixth uncle's face turned black: "Dou Shiying, get up, get up! A man only kneels down to the heaven, earth, king, relatives and teachers, what's the matter with you!" Then he shouted at the servant beside him, "Don't give me up! Close the door!"

The housekeepers swarmed forward to close the door, not daring to look this way.

But the uncle said contemptuously: "Do you think that being beaten will offset your fault? Dou Shiying, let me tell you, there is no door..." He kicked his father.

The father knelt there, and was kicked by the uncle abruptly.

"Ruifu, Ruifu, don't be like this!" The third uncle hastily stopped his uncle, "Your brother and sister started fighting before the bones of the seventh brother and sister were cold, isn't it a joke for people to see? If you have something to say, don't say it I don't know..."

The uncle ignored the third uncle and asked his aunt: "Where is Shougu? Who is looking at Shougu?"

The aunt hurriedly said: "Shougu is in the mourning hall, and the maids in her room are watching her!"

Uncle started to go to the mourning hall.

Dou Zhao couldn't help but burst into tears.

She stood up and called "Uncle" loudly.

When Zhao Si looked over, his eyes immediately turned red.

"Shou Gu!" He hugged Dou Zhao tightly, "Let's go see your mother!"

"Okay!" Dou Zhao nodded, put his arms around his uncle's neck, and felt unprecedentedly at ease for the first time.

Offer incense, salute, and thank you.

The uncle and nephew solemnly completed the sacrifice.

Zhao Si handed Dou Zhao to his aunt: "Look at her, everyone is busy at this time, and accidents are most likely to happen. I'm going to see my in-laws."

The father, whose face was bruised and purple, stared blankly at his mother's coffin, but the third and sixth uncles were a little uncomfortable.

"I can save it." The aunt embraced Dou Zhao, nodded knowingly, and said, "Go and do your work, I will take good care of Shougu."

The uncle patted Dou Zhao's head affectionately, turned around and left the mourning hall.

Aunt coaxed Dou Zhao: "Come on, let's eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake!"
