Ninefold Purple

Contrary to the joyful and festive atmosphere of Yizhitang, the servants of Xixiangyuan were all trembling and did not dare to show their air.

Song Yichun was violently spinning around the room like a trapped animal: "...this little bastard, I don't know what he sold in front of the emperor, he coaxed the emperor around, and he actually acted like he wanted to stand up for him. If I had known this, I should have cleaned him up ruthlessly, and opened a ancestral hall..."

Tao Qizhong, who was standing with his hands down, was worried.

He called out "Master Guo", interrupted Song Yichun's chattering cursing, glanced at the room without a servant, and reminded in a low voice: "You said, how did the emperor know that the son and you had a quarrel back then?" What about it? Ordinary people don’t care about such things!”

Song Yichun was taken aback. [

Tao Qizhong said: "Grandpa, I think you can't be careless about this matter, you have to find a way to speak up in front of the emperor. Even if you can't explain today's matter clearly, it will prevent someone from telling you in front of the emperor in the future." Put on eye medicine. There are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, how can there be those who can guard against thieves for a thousand days? If things go on like this, we will be too passive."

Song Yichun fell into deep thought.

For a while, the room was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling.

However, a small figure nimbly flashed past the door next to it, rushed to the side of the flower wall, and quickly disappeared.

After Dou Zhao finished rewarding the servants, Dou's family and the relatives and friends who were close to Song Mo on weekdays also got the news one after another, especially Yin Huang of Shuntian Mansion who would often deal with Wucheng soldiers and horses in the future. Master Qi Huang, and Uncle Dong Ping, who is currently concurrently serving as the commander of the five cities' soldiers and horses, are all short of capable chief stewards who sent a generous gift.Therefore, on the day when Dou Zhao returned to her mother's house to live in the opposite month, Jing'an Temple Hutong was extremely lively. Not only the family from Huaishu Hutong came, but also the Ji family from Mao'er Hutong and the Han family who was about to give birth.

Dou Shiying felt that she had a lot of face, so she didn't ask why Dou Zhao didn't come to Dou Ming's banquet last time, and asked Dou Zhao directly: "How many days do you plan to stay at home? I can let the family prepare."

Live opposite the month.It is not necessary to live in the natal family for a full month, but to selectively live for a few days in the month after the girl gets married.

"I can only stay for two or three days." Dou Zhao said with an apologetic smile, "After two days, the prince will take office. I have to urge the government to investigate the leak in our house. I can only stay longer when I return to my mother's house next time." gone."

Married daughters, because they cherish the opportunity to get along with their natal parents, have to stay for at least four or five days.Some even stayed for a month, and those like Dou Zhao who only stayed for three days were very few.Fortunately, Dou Shiying feels that since her daughter is married to someone else's family as a daughter-in-law, she should naturally put her husband's family first.He didn't think it was embarrassing, and said with a smile: "If you stay for two or three days, you can stay for two or three days, and then let Yantang come to pick you up."

Song Mo hurriedly got up and answered "Yes".There is a bit of joy in the corners of the eyes and brows.

Dou Shiying looked at it and laughed.

I'm afraid the son-in-law wants his daughter to go back sooner!

The way he looked at Song Mo became more gentle.Talk to Song Mo about his errand: "You are young, so some people will not be convinced. But don't be arrogant, you know, those old officials are the worst to mess with. Most of them are experienced and He is proficient in the way of money and food, and even has personal relationships with the subordinates of the household department and the military department. Sometimes they are not good enough, but if they want to make a stumbling block, they are accurate. You still have a long way to go in the future. Don't be as knowledgeable as them. Be humble and prudent, tolerant, and learn to overcome rigidity with softness..."

Dou Zhao refrained from laughing out loud.

Song Mo is fine if he doesn't clean up others, but others want to clean him up?They are usually grasshoppers after autumn, and few of them can jump and grow.Moreover, these words of his father are all about humility and patience. If he really followed his words, Song Mo would probably be eaten to the bone.However, Song Mo usually treats people with emotions and desires without shame, is it necessary to show such a happy look in front of his father now?

This guy is too good at pretending!

Song Mo, on the other hand, acted obediently, listening attentively, nodding and saying "yes", as if what Dou Shiying said was all golden rules, so Dou Shiying spoke more and more vigorously in front of this third-rank son-in-law, The more I talk, the more excited I get.

Gao Sheng poked his head at the door. [

Dou Zhao hurriedly said, "What's the matter with the senior management?" interrupting Dou Shiying's nagging.

Gao Sheng was embarrassed, and said repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay."

Dou Shiying's face darkened.

Dou Zhao held a banquet, but Dou Ming didn't go, saying that he was going back to his mother's house to live in the same month, but he didn't even give Dou Zhao an explanation afterward; There is also truth to what she said.

The two sisters played [-] boards each.

So this time he specially asked Gao Sheng to invite Dou Ming in person, made Dou Ming have to come, and asked Gao Sheng to bring a message to Dou Ming: "No one should mention the past. From today on, the two sisters should be affectionate and affectionate. family."

But seeing Gao Sheng's appearance at this time, Dou Shiying still doesn't understand.

Dou Ming turned a deaf ear to his words and didn't care at all.

But in front of Dou Zhao, if he asked carefully, wouldn't the relationship between the two sisters be worse?What's more, there is a son-in-law present... Once this is said, what face will a daughter have in front of her son-in-law?

He suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said, "Is the banquet outside arranged?"

"It's been arranged, it's been arranged!" Gao Shengzheng didn't know how to answer, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Another servant came to report: "Master Fifth is here, and he is drinking tea with Master Six in the hall!"

Everyone was taken aback.

The married daughter went back to her mother's house to live on the other side of the month.

Dou Shiying whispered in her heart, and said to Song Mo: "Go, go and meet your fifth uncle. He is very familiar with those people in the household department. You take advantage of the opportunity of being in charge of the Jinwu Guard's military salary to hang out with those guys in the household department Familiar face, in the future, the money and food will be allocated faster, whether it is the top or the subordinates, they will treat you differently."

Song Mo replied "yes" respectfully, and followed Dou Shiying out without being humble or overbearing, but what he said flattered Dou Shiying unabashedly: "I have long wanted to ask my father-in-law to introduce me, but I was afraid that my father-in-law would dislike me for not being prudent. , have never dared to mention..."

Can he delay Yan Xinghou's military salary because he is not familiar with the household department?

He is not familiar with the household department, can he settle the accounts of the river workers on time?

Dou Zhao couldn't bear it anymore, lowered his head and laughed, and went to the flower hall where the female relatives were entertained.

My aunt was talking to my sixth and fifth aunts.Seeing her come in, he waved at her.

Dou Zhao walked over with a smile, and saluted the elders one by one.

The fifth aunt looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "This rose-red silk beige is worn on the fourth aunt's "grandmother". It is really spiritual." [

"Who said it wasn't!" Chua immediately answered with a smile, "The emerald green hairpin worn by Fourth Aunt today is also very beautiful. Look at this crested head, how energetic it is. The eyes are shining, as if alive." thing-like."

Dou Zhao just smiled slightly.

Everyone talked to each other, and the atmosphere was very lively.

After lunch, everyone set up a few tables of playing horses in the flower hall.

Dou Zhao took it off with great difficulty.Zhao Zhangru took her to talk in the small hall behind the flower hall.

Because of Dou Zhao's marriage, my aunt has already delayed a lot of time, and has scheduled a trip together in early October.If all goes well.It happened to go back for the New Year, so Zhao Zhangru was a little depressed: "I don't know when we sisters will meet again?"

Dou Zhao thought of his eldest cousin Zhao Biru, who would live with her husband and son-in-law in Kyoto in a few years: "Who can say for sure about things in this world? Look at me, I never dreamed that I would marry Song Yantang three months ago. You also Don't be so depressed."

Zhao Zhangru's eyes widened: "You call your brother-in-law Song Yantang!"

Dou Zhao coughed twice, and said softly: "A momentary slip of the tongue!" Then he blinked jokingly with Zhao Zhangru, "Don't tell others!"

Zhao Zhangru giggled, and became happy again, and asked about the escape from the British government: "Have those thieves been caught? Are you really rewarding others with 1000 taels of silver?"

"Of course it's true!" Dou Zhao and Zhao Zhangru were talking.Seeing Aunt Six coming out of the flower hall, she smiled and said to the two: "I'm getting old, my waist is not working well, I can't sit for a long time, come out and take a walk."

Zhao Zhangru hurriedly got up and took a thick cushion: "Sit down!"

Aunt Six sat down with a smile and asked them: "What are you talking about? You are so happy to say it."

"Talk about the reward offered by the British government." Zhao Zhangru was talking to the sixth aunt with a smile, and the sixth aunt listened with a smile.

But Dou Zhao's heart moved slightly, and he winked at Su Xin.

Su Xin entered the flower hall.

After a while, he came out and said to Zhao Zhangru: "Miss Biao, my uncle asked you to go over and show her the cards."

"Ah!" Zhao Zhangru was astonished, but he still stood up and bowed to the sixth aunt to leave, and followed Su Xin to the flower hall.

Dou Zhao took Ji's arm: "Aunt Six, let me accompany you for a walk in Chaoshou corridor!"

Ji looked at Dou Zhao with compassion in his eyes.

The two walked slowly in the verandah outside the flower hall. The maids and women were all standing under the veranda of the flower hall. Two people.

Only then did Ji open her mouth in a low voice: "Shougu, what should I do? Your twelfth brother did something ridiculous, and I dare not tell anyone. I am as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. I can only talk to you." Spit out bitterness..." Before he could finish his sentence, tears were already falling down.

Dou Zhao thumped in his heart, vaguely guessing that something happened between Dou Dechang and Ji Lingzedong.

She hurriedly comforted Mrs. Ji: "Aunt Six, there is a solution to everything. Don't worry, if I fail, there will be a son. Now is not the time to talk, nor is it the place to talk. I will stay at home for a few days God, there is no one in the family to host the mid-career, so I told my father, please stay and help. If you have anything to say, we will talk about it tonight."

Dou Zhao's composure infected Ji.

She nodded, quickly took out the handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and accompanied by Dou Zhao, she walked two more laps on the Chaoshou verandah. After her emotions calmed down, she patted Dou Zhao's hand lightly and said in a low voice. Said: "Good boy, I'm fine. Let's go in!"

Dou Zhao said "Yes", smiled and entered the flower hall with the sixth aunt.
