Ninefold Purple

Song Mo heard that there was something in Dou Zhao's words, and it also involved Huaishu Alley. When Gao Sheng disappeared, he couldn't help asking Dou Zhao with concern: "What happened? Do you want me to help?"

"Not yet." Dou Zhao pursed his lips and smiled.

If Song Mo knew what was going on, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy, would it?

She urged Song Mo to have lunch: "...you might as well leave early." Then she said, "It's so cold, why don't we go directly to Daxing's farm? At Fengtai, since we entrusted someone to help take care of the flowers and trees, With good news, they will come to report, and there is no need to be so anxious, if it falls into the eyes of interested people, maybe ten taels of silver will become 20 taels, and they will be slaughtered as fat sheep."

Going to the flower market was originally just to make Dou Zhao happy, but since Dou Zhao was not interested, Song Mo followed suit. [

After the two had lunch, the carriage went straight to Daxing without stopping.

The steward, maidservant, mother-in-law, etc. had been waiting at the door, surrounded by Song Mo and Dou Zhao, and entered the farm.

For some news, Song Mo was accompanied by the steward to inspect the fields, while Dou Zhao was still served by the daughters-in-law from the previous visit, talking in the banquet room.

※※※※※

The flower hall of Jining Marquis Mansion was full of people, not only the three aunts and six dependents of the Wei family, but also the relatives of the Dou family in Kyoto, except for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Maoer Hutong, most of them were there, namely the Gao family, Pang family and Wei Tingzhen. All the sisters-in-law also attended in costumes, laughing and talking, and it was very lively.

Mrs. Wang Qinghuai, who was sitting in the crowd, was very disturbed.

Before the banquet, they were made to wait for a while for no apparent reason, and after the banquet.But she didn't see Mrs. British Crown Prince.

Did Dou Zhao sit somewhere else?

Mrs. Wang Qinghuai craned her neck to look around, but she met the eyes of the third wife of Jing Guogong's mansion.

The third wife of Duke Jing's mansion smiled and nodded towards Mrs. Wang Qinghuai.

Mrs. Wang Qinghuai hurriedly returned her a kind smile.

The third wife of Jing Guogong's mansion turned her head away, looking from east to west, from west to east, as if she was looking for someone.

Mrs. Wang Qinghuai's heart moved, she whispered to her sister-in-law Zhou who was sitting beside her, "I'm going to wash my hands", then she got up and left the table, walked slowly through the banquet where the female family members of the Dou family were sitting, and walked out of the flower hall.

She heard intermittent voices of discussion: "...the fourth aunt didn't come... I heard that the father of the seventh uncle sent someone to invite... She said that she waited for others no matter how others treated her... Didn't you see the fifth aunt? His face is ugly..."

Wang Qinghuai couldn't help facing Dou Ming who was toasting Mrs. Gao with a smile all over his face.

The smile was really stiff.

Wang Qinghuai's wife hurried to the toilet.

when you come back.She saw Jing Guogong's third wife's personal nurse whispering to the third wife.

She passed by the banquet written by the ladies of Jing Guogong's mansion. [

Only vaguely heard the sentence "the wife of the British prince did not come".

Mrs. Wang Qinghuai sat down again calmly.But there is no mood to continue to stay.

After the banquet, the maids brought refreshments.

Mrs. Wang Qinghuai was about to leave, but the third wife of Jing Guogong's mansion suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "I'll say goodbye to the two monkeys at home. I don't know what happened. I feel like I have a rabbit in my heart." Yes. There has been no peace since entering the door." She said.He took Dou Ming's hand, "Mrs. Jininghou, we can't do it today. We can only meet again in the next day."

Wei Tingzhen was slightly annoyed.

The third wife's children are surrounded by maids, daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law. She has been hanging on the horse for a whole day. Why didn't she say that she misses her children, but now she looks like a loving mother who loves her children. Who is she showing?

It was the first time for Dou Ming to have sex with the third wife, thinking that the third wife would not be able to let go of the child for a moment, so he enthusiastically persuaded him to keep him.

The third wife insisted on leaving: "...next time, next time I will bring all the children here." She also joked with a smile, "I'm afraid that the noise will make you uneasy, and I will regret asking me to bring the children here."

"It's an honored guest that can't be invited, why does the third wife say that?" Dou Ming exchanged pleasantries with the third wife, but in the end they couldn't get the third wife out of the flower hall.

Mrs. Wang Qinghuai watched and also stood up.

"Tomorrow is my aunt's 'nine days', I have to go back and get ready." She bid farewell to Wei Tingzhen, "It's enough to have my younger siblings here." She said, smiling at Mrs. Zhou.

This is true.

Wei Tingzhen was not easy to stop, so he smiled and asked Mrs. Wang Qinghuai to come and play when she had time.

How could Mrs. Zhou sit still!

She is also a sister-in-law, and the elder sister-in-law rushed back to save face for her sister-in-law, but she was having so much fun at the Wei family... What's more, her daughter-in-law, who has only been in the family for two years, is being observed by her mother-in-law...

"Let's go back with my sister-in-law!" She grabbed Mrs. Wang's sleeves, "There's no reason to let my sister-in-law suffer, but I play on the sidelines."

All the people here are mother-in-laws who have been married for many years, so it's not easy to stop her.

After saying a few polite words, he sent Wang's sister-in-law out of the Jining Marquis Mansion.

As soon as the three left, the second wife of Duke Jing's mansion also realized that she ignored Dou Ming's persuasion, found an excuse, and left in advance.

Wei Tingzhen's complexion was very ugly, but Dou Ming noticed it and continued talking to the female relatives present.

The fifth wife sighed when she saw it, and said to Cai: "You stay here, I'm mentally weak, so I'll go back first!"

Cai Shi is not willing to stay here. [

If Dou Zhao misses it, the loss outweighs the gain!

She held the fifth wife tightly: "Mother, why are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll take you back! Isn't there still a sixth sister-in-law here?" She had to go back with the fifth wife.

The fifth wife was not happy, and she couldn't get angry in front of everyone, so she had to leave the dull Guo Shi, and took Cai back to Huaishu Alley.

Grandma Dou and others saw each other and left one after another.

After a while, there were only two tables left in the flower hall that was already full, and they were all relatives of the Wei family.

Dou Ming's face changed drastically.

But Dou Zhao, who was far away in Daxing Farm, was talking with the management wife of Daxing Farm.

"The older maids in my room are all at the age of release. If I want to add a few younger maids, cleverness is the second priority. The most important thing is to be loyal and endure hardship." She laughed, "You help me in the Song Dynasty. Keep an eye out in the family’s farm to see if there are any suitable candidates. It will also save me from bringing them here from Zhending and having to re-learn the Kyoto dialect.”

The steward's daughter-in-law was stunned.

Usually this kind of good thing is taken over by those prestigious stewards in the mansion, even the general stewards and steward mothers can't get in their hands, so there's no place for them!

She only thought that Dou Zhao didn't know the rules, so she readily agreed, and said with a smile: "I don't know who the sisters following Madam have promised? Don't forget to give it to us when you get married. We will have to ask for a cup no matter what. Wedding wine!"

"I haven't betrothed to anyone yet." Dou Zhao said with a smile. "It's just a rainy day."

The daughter-in-law in charge said flatteringly: "The older sisters are not only good-looking, but also smart and capable. I don't know who is so lucky to marry them..."

Su Lan blushed as if she was saying that, and said angrily: "I don't want to marry. I want to be by Madam's side. I will serve Madam for the rest of my life."

All the servants in the room laughed.

Su Lan quarreled with them in spite of herself.

Dou Zhao watched from the side with a smile.

Everyone became more and more courageous.The laughter went straight outside the house.

Finally, when it was time for dinner, Suxin served Dou Zhaojing's hands, and couldn't help but whispered: "Madam wants to add someone to the house. Why don't you have a matchmaker? Most of the British government are servants, and the relationship is intricate, and even a little thing can cause trouble." Everyone knows everything together. Moreover, the girls in the farm are not well-educated, and sometimes it is difficult to get rid of the small family spirit with a lot of effort..."

"I'm not just here to add a few maids." Dou Zhao whispered to her, "After Mrs. Jiang passed away, more than half of the servants in the British government changed, so we wanted to find someone to ask. I can’t find out what happened back then. It’s impossible for them to let everyone out. Some people must have been sold or driven to the farm. I let the wind out and said that there was a maid in my house. Anyone who is interested must know that Shi Ziye and The Duke of the state is at odds, maybe we can find a few descendants who served in Madam Jiang's house back then."

Su Xin suddenly realized.

Dou Zhao smiled and said: "However, you have indeed reached the age to be released. If you have plans, just tell me, and I will help you decide!"

Su Xin replied "yes" respectfully, but couldn't hide the shyness between her brows, which made Dou Zhao laugh out loud.

Song Mo found out, and discussed with Dou Zhao: "How about allocating Su Xin in your house to Lu Ming? After a few years, I will let Lu Ming go out to be a hundred households or something, and I promise that I will not wrong her."

Dou Zhao thought of Zhao Liangbi.

Judging by her status, Zhao Liangbi knew that Su Xin was Sima Zhao's heart.

She hesitated: "I have to think about this matter carefully."

Song Mo thought for a while after hearing this, and said, "Do you want to keep Su Xin by your side?"

Dou Zhao answered vaguely.

Song Mo said with a smile: "Then ration it to Chen He. I'm going to let Chen He stay at home and take care of things."

"Su Xin is several years older than Chen He!" Dou Zhao shook his head without thinking.

However, Song Mo was determined to let Dou Zhao's people integrate into Yizhitang as soon as possible. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then marry Su Lan to Chen He. They are about the same age, so they should get along well. "

Dou Zhao couldn't help pondering: "Let me discuss it with Su Xin! After all, they are not servants who have signed a death contract."

Song Mo smiled and nodded.

Chen He came in and said softly, "Chen Jia is here."

Song Mo signaled Dou Zhao to hide behind the screen, and asked Chen He to bring Chen Jia in.

Chen Jia wore a lilac-colored short brown, a felt hat that blocked his eyes, and a pair of straw sandals on his shoes. He bowed his body, like a farmer who was bent over by the burden of life, and he was not shrewd at all. Capable.

Dou Zhao felt alarmed.

Such a character who can stretch and bend, he is afraid that the picture is not small.

In the last life, he was Song Mo's confidant, but in this life, I don't know if Song Mo can subdue him.

Dou Zhao looked out from the gap in the screen, and saw that Chen Jia took off his felt hat, and his body suddenly stood up like a flexible bamboo body, and his ordinary face became sharper, as if a sword came out of a box, showing its sharpness .

"Master!" He saluted Song Mo neither humble nor overbearing.

Song Mo looked at him with a dull expression and didn't say a word.

Chen Jia stood there respectfully, silent, waiting for Song Mo to speak.

Song Mo smiled coldly and picked up the teacup.

Chen He was stunned, and it took him a while to react, and hurriedly yelled "seeing off the guests" loudly.
