Ninefold Purple

Dou Zhao knew what the uncle and grandfather had said, but when the uncle came back, his expression was very ugly.

"Ruifu," the aunt walked up to him worriedly, "what did the in-laws say?"

"What good things can he say!" Uncle sneered, glancing at the heated kang out of the corner of his eye, he saw Dou Zhao sitting at the end of the kang with a pompom, curiously looking at him with big eyes that were as bright as morning stars. he.He felt a pain in his heart, thinking that Dou Duo was the grandfather of his niece, and Dou Shiying was her father, he swallowed the words of resentment, and was afraid that his face would frighten Dou Zhao, so he forced a smile, Wen Wen He asked his wife in a low voice, "Have the children had their lunch yet?"

"It's all been used." The aunt replied, and couldn't help but follow the uncle's gaze and look back at Dou Zhao, and a little water appeared in his eyes immediately, "This child seems to know that his mother is gone. He doesn't cry or cry." Nao, I can eat whatever I feed her... In the past, she was the one who didn't eat this or that... I don't know how much I will suffer from now on?"

The uncle lowered his head sadly, and said, "I just wanted to discuss this matter with you..."

"You say yes." My aunt took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, "When I married, Gu Qiu was only five years old... On our wedding night, she insisted on sleeping with me, saying she liked me as an older sister... I put her When she was 16 years old, she personally married her to Dou's family. She is my aunt, but she is more like my daughter... You don't have to discuss her affairs with me. You can do whatever you want, and I will never say too much Say something."

"Xiaomo!" Uncle shook his aunt's hand gratefully, "You have worked hard all these years!"

"We are husband and wife," my aunt's ears were red, "what are you talking about?" She sat down on the kang with some embarrassment, hugged Dou Zhao on her lap, and coaxed Dou Zhao, "Cousins ​​all go to take a nap Now, can you take a nap too? After taking a nap, you can have the energy to play with your cousins ​​in the afternoon. Do you want to play with your cousins?"

Dou Zhao has been waiting for his uncle to come back.

Now my uncle has something to say to my aunt, if she pretends to be asleep, the uncle and aunt will definitely be more scrupulous about talking.

Dou Zhao nodded slightly and yawned.

My aunt helped her take off her outer jacket, pulled the quilt to wrap her around her, held her in her arms and patted her gently, then called her maid to pour hot tea for uncle, and told her: "I and Master has something to say, you should watch outside."

The servant girl responded and left.

Uncle and aunt sat side by side on the kang, and said: "I want to take Shou Gu to live with our parents."

Dou Zhao's ears moved with his eyes closed.

The aunt didn't have any objection, and said: "Shougu is here, just to be with Zhangru."

A gleam of relief flashed in the uncle's eyes, and he pondered: "You said last time that Shougu and Sister Tian's son are engaged, do you have a token?"

"Yes." My aunt said while patting Dou Zhao, "It's a suet jade bracelet that Sister Tian gave as a dowry when she got married."

"Gu Qiu just left, and the Dou family probably hasn't had time to pack her things." The uncle said in a low voice, "Gu Qiu's things have always been taken care of by Nanny Yu, so you can send your own maid to find Nanny Yu quietly. Madam, take Shougu's engagement token in your hand."

Although my aunt was taken aback, she didn't ask any questions, and called a maid to come in and give instructions.

The uncle explained: "Now that Gu Qiu is gone, and the marriage between Shou Gu and the Wei family has not been formally engaged, I'm afraid there will be some twists and turns. I think Dou Shiying is two hundred and five. If women look at him more, he will I don’t know what’s going on...” Speaking of his father, the uncle was a little excited, “He doesn’t even know how much he weighs, so expecting him to be the master of Shougu is better than expecting him to die soon! When he dies, we at least You can justifiably intervene in Shougu's affairs..."

"Keep your voice down!" the aunt hurriedly said, "Be careful to wake up the child."

Uncle leaned over to look at Dou Zhao, and seeing her eyes closed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone gradually eased: "If Shougu finds a good family in the future, I don't mind mentioning this matter. If there is no suitable one, there is this token With it in hand, if the Wei family wants to repent, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Dou Zhao's eyes were astringent. [

After her mother passed away, she became a "bereaved woman and the eldest daughter", a person who taught and taught, and no better family would marry such a girl as a daughter-in-law.

Uncle, I have thought of everything for her...

She suddenly remembered.

When mother and mother-in-law exchanged tokens, she thought it was in a dream, so she didn't care.In fact, she never saw any keepsakes before she got married in her previous life. On the wedding night, Wei Tingyu took a jade pendant and a pair of bracelets, saying that they were the engagement tokens of the two families back then.She thought it was her father who gave it to the Wei family.

Could it be that this jade bracelet was in the hands of my uncle in the last life?

Her heart couldn't help beating wildly.

Uncle's apologetic voice came from next to my ear: "Xiao Mo, I want to...sell all the ancestral property except the [-] acres of sacrifice land!"

"Ah!" My aunt exclaimed, "Why, why did you sell your ancestral property?"

Dou Zhao was also taken aback, squinting his eyes to peep at his uncle.

The uncle lowered his eyelids, and said softly: "Xiao Mo, you were originally a young lady who never touched the spring water, but since you married me, you not only have to serve the paralyzed mother-in-law, raise the young sister-in-law, and give birth to my son. Raising children, doing housework, and going to the fields to patrol the fields during the busy farming season... Inside and outside, it all depends on you... I remember it in my heart... I wanted to study hard to get a good name and earn a phoenix crown for you , so that you can also feel proud for a while... But what happened to Gu Qiu, I can't even ignore my only sister for the sake of my own future... You can't enter the Hanlin unless you are a Jinshi, and you can't enter the cabinet unless you are a Hanlin... Yes I'm sorry……"

"No, no." My aunt said anxiously, her eyes were red, "You treat me very well, I know, after I gave birth to Zhangru, my mother was afraid that you would dislike me, so she asked someone to buy a beautiful little one from Jiangnan. The girl asked you to bring it back, but you said you couldn't afford it, so you refused to take it anyway..."

Uncle was in a state of embarrassment after a lie was exposed, and said forcefully: "I can't afford it!"

The aunt laughed heartily, and echoed the uncle meekly: "Yes, I can't afford it." Tears fell down.

Dou Zhao's tears almost fell.

The elegant and handsome uncle stood beside the fat middle-aged aunt, not like a husband and wife, but like a brother and sister, and they are at least five years apart in age.

But my uncle never forgot his roots, always remembered his aunt's kindness, and never wanted to make his aunt sad.

"What are you talking about! Bi Ru and the others are my own flesh and blood anyway." Uncle said uncomfortably, and threw a handkerchief to aunt, "Wipe your tears quickly."

My aunt laughed and wiped her tears.

The uncle said: "I want to go to Beijing to do some management, and find a way to find a real vacancy. At that time, we will take Shougu to take up the post." Speaking of this, the uncle's tone was a bit bitter, "However, I have the final say, it is Selling the few acres of land owned by my ancestors is probably not enough...Can you," the uncle's voice gradually dropped, with a look of shame and shame on his face, and he didn't even dare to look at his aunt, "give your dowry Lend it to me... I will return it to you as soon as I am alive..."

"What are you talking about!" my aunt scolded, "Is mine not yours! Back then, my parents gave me so much dowry, didn't they just want us to have a good life? As long as we live well, this dowry will do its best. , what's the point? If you don't talk to me when you encounter such a big event, I think you and I are not of the same mind!"

Dou Zhao cried.

"Shougu, Shougu, what's the matter with you?" The aunt hugged her in a panic, "What's the matter? What's the matter?" [

Dou Zhao lay on his aunt's shoulder and burst into tears like venting.

In the last life, when my mother passed away, my uncle fought against the Dou family. He endured the grief and went to the exam. Then he used his aunt's dowry to find a real job. He wanted to take her to the post, but she bit her in front of the Dou family. The aunt slapped her and shouted not to go with her... The uncle has already let the aunt down for the sake of his sister, and if he does not take up the post because of the real vacancies, the uncle will lose his position because of this, then he will be even more sorry for the aunt who has sacrificed so much for the uncle ...And the Zhao family's property has been sold, so they can't leave.

who is it?

Who instigated her to bite the aunt?

Although she lost her mother, her father and grandfather were still alive. If she strongly expressed her reluctance to go to her uncle's house, there would be nothing wrong with her uncle.

And in that situation, her resistance was tantamount to slapping her uncle and aunt hard!

Dou Zhao straightened up and stopped crying, his little face covered with tears was full of determination.

She wants to find this man!

※※※※※

Uncle got the mutton fat jade bracelet without any suspense, and he handed it to his aunt for safekeeping: "... I will set off after Guqiu Qiqi, and you take care of everything at home. As soon as I have news from my side, you On the pretext of picking up Shougu to stay at home for a few days, and then took her to work with her. When she grows up, we will send her back to Dou’s house to get married.” He said again, “Where mother-in-law and uncle are, please keep quiet. Go see them before leaving, and write a letter to the old man to apologize when we settle down."

The aunt didn't hesitate: "I've been arranging things at home in the past two days."

The servant girl guarding the door coughed heavily, and said loudly: "Third Master, Sixth Master!"

The aunt whispered: "Go and do your work, I will take good care of Aunt Shou."

Uncle nodded slightly, lifted the curtain and came out.

The aunt combed Dou Zhao's hair, and said with a smile, "Shou Gu, will you follow Auntie from now on?"

Her expression was relaxed, and there was a bit of joy in her tone. It could be seen that not only did she have no grudges against her uncle's arrangement, but she was also very happy.

Aunt, is a very good woman!

Dou Zhao's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and his smile was as sweet as sugar.

The aunt gave her a bite.

Zhao Zhang rushed in like a thud: "Shou Gu, Shou Gu, I found a nest of ants under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in your house. Let's go see the ants moving things."

Zhao Biru walked in steadily, and stopped her younger sister: "My aunt is gone, don't run around. Shougu has to go to the mourning hall to offer incense to my aunt."

If Zhao Zhang didn't understand these things, he blinked his eyes wide and asked his mother, "Where did aunt go?"

The aunt touched her daughter's head and said sadly: "My aunt went to Nanhai."

"Oh!" Zhao Zhangru understood, "So my aunt went to see the Bodhisattva."

Zhao Biru turned her face away.

The aunt put Dou Zhao on the ground and told her softly, "Let's play in the yard with my sisters!"

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Zhao Zhangru took Dou Zhao's hand and ran out.
