Ninefold Purple

Dou Zhao greeted him happily.

In addition to two or three guards she had fancied did not want to leave their hometown and stayed in Zhending to continue working as a nursing home in Xidou, Duan Gongyi and Chen Xiaofeng all followed. Not only that, they also brought seven or eight tall guards from Zhending. A strong young man, vigorous and powerful in his gestures, he looks like a Lianjiazi.

Duan Gongyi explained with a smile: "The juniors were introduced by relatives and friends. If they look good, I will bring them to you."

Next, Dou Zhao and Dong Dou will take stock of half of Xi Dou's property, which has long been under his own name, and there are plenty of places to employ people.

"Since it is Master Duan's fancy, then accept all of them!" She smiled and told Su Xin, "Today, I will welcome Mr. Chen and Master Duan, and send someone to invite shopkeeper Fan, shopkeeper Cui, and shopkeeper Tian from the brush and ink shop. Come here, just take this opportunity to gather together.” [

Su Xin went away in response.

Dou Zhao asked his grandmother: "...the last time I wrote, it said that this year's eggplants and melons grew well, and the family couldn't finish eating them, so I distributed a lot to the neighbors. Is her health okay?"

"It's tough!" Chen Qushui smiled and took out a letter from his arms, "Aunt Cui asked me to bring it to you."

Dou Zhao took the letter, looked at the hanging flower door with dripping eaves, suppressed the urgency to read the letter, and said with a smile: "You just arrived, not when you are talking about these things. Your resting place has been arranged, and when you settle down , let’s talk about it in detail.”

Chen Qushui said "yes" with a smile.

Dou Zhao called Wu Yi.

Wu Yi was staring at Chen Qushui with wide eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

Chen Qushui couldn't help but smiled slightly, and nodded towards Wuyi.

If it weren't for the well-trained Chen He in the past few years, Wu Yi would have jumped up a long time ago.

He muttered: "Mr. Chen, please come with me!" He led Chen Qushui, Duan Gongyi and the others to the group room on the west side that had already been cleaned.

Duan Gongyi looked at the freshly painted small courtyard and side rooms, and couldn't help saying to Mr. Chen: "After all, it is the British government's residence. Look at this house. Although it is simple and elegant, it also looks grand."

Chen Qushui smiled and said nothing.

This was discussed by Dou Zhao and Song Mo long ago.

Those like Chen Qushui and Duan Gongyi were divided into three rooms with an inverted seat and a small backyard;

After entering the house, all the general furniture is arranged.

Duan Gongyi, Chen Xiaodong and the others couldn't help clicking their tongues.

However, Chen Qushui nodded invisibly as he touched the frame covered with Korean paper.

It seems that the Shizi still respects his wife very much, so he gave up the cross courtyard on the west side, and let people spend a lot of time on arranging it.

They should be able to integrate into Yizhitang soon! [

Chen Qushui divided the house.

Someone asked: "Mr. Chen, can you bring your wife and children to live in?"

"I have to discuss this with my wife first." Chen Qushui smiled, and ordered a group of rough old men who looked around curiously, "Hurry up and wash up, and you will have a seat later."

Everyone laughed and went back to their houses.

Chen Qushui turned around.I saw Wuyi.

He was staring at Chen Qushui without blinking!

After all, he has served him for half a year.

Chen Qushui thought for a while and walked towards Wuyi.

But Wu Yi woke up with a shiver, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen, Madam said, wait for you to live in, such as maids and servants. If you have anything to do now, you can tell Xiao Jiu, and he will I will serve by your side." He said.He brought out a boy with a handsome face, who was about fifteen or six years old, and ran away in a hurry.

Brother Chen said: Some things, if you know it, you have to pretend not to know it; there are some things you don't know, but you have to pretend you know it.

He had to pretend he didn't know about it.

Wu Yi thought about it.Run faster.

At noon, Song Mo personally served as the host to welcome the people who came from Zhending.Mr. Yan and Xia Lian accompanied him.

This surprised Mr. Chen and the others, and made them feel a little grateful.

However, Tian Fugui, who was pulled here temporarily, was trembling with excitement, his hands were shaking constantly, and the wine in the wine cup almost spilled out, and he murmured: "It's worth it. It's worth it! You can drink as much as the British Duke." The wine of the son of the world is worth it in my life!"

Cui Shisan couldn't help but glared at him fiercely.He reminded in a low voice: "Sit up straight for me, don't lose face to Madam."

"I know, I know." Tian Fugui murmured in response, but his hands and feet were numb and his hands were still shaking.

After a few rounds of drinking, he and Cui Shisan were called to drink tea in the study with Mr. Chen and Guard Duan.

He is chaotic, and he doesn't know how he got in. The room is huge and has a lot of books; he sits on a carved chicken wing wood chair, 16 taels of silver a piece; Bao; the little maid who served tea was only twelve or thirteen years old, but she was dignified and beautiful, with small red gold earrings on her earlobes, or a silver hairpin newly passed down from the south of the Yangtze River on her head. Extravagance.

The little maid is not qualified to wear gold and silver, she must be rewarded by the mansion.

If those nephews and nieces in the family can work as servants in the British government, they will really fall into the lucky nest, how wonderful it would be!

He was thinking wildly there, when he suddenly heard Song Mo ask him: "When did you marry Madam?"

Is Shi Ziye talking to him?

Tian Fugui opened his mouth wide, and seeing Song Mo smiling slightly at him, he was sure that the voice he heard just now was not a hallucination.

He quickly swallowed his saliva, and said in a hurry: "It's the day when Madam and Ji Li were born. Everyone congratulated Madam, and I was thinking that there must be something different for the emperor's birthday. Don't those officials and lords all offer auspicious omens? I just wanted to make auspicious omen for my wife. Later, I inquired and found out that someone in Baoding Mansion raised a pair of golden pheasants, so I rushed to Baoding Mansion overnight..." He panicked, his mind went blank, and put Why did I buy the pair of golden pheasants so coaxed and lied to, and why I hid behind the rockery next to the flower hall of Dou Mansion and waited for Dou Zhao to pass by... I said everything about bamboo and beans.

Cui Shisan wished he could swallow Tian Fugui alive.

Song Mo and the others burst out laughing.

Only then did Tian Fugui realize that he had made a mistake.

He looked at Song Mo in fear, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

"Not bad, not bad." Song Mo smiled and said kindly, "From now on, I will serve Madam with such heart."

"Thank you, Shizi!" Tian Fugui came back to his senses, and wanted to stand up and salute, but his legs were limp.After trying twice, he failed to stand up. Just as he was in a hurry, Song Mo's gaze fell on Cui Shisan: "Are you from the Cui family?"

Cui Shisan stood up, saluted respectfully, and answered "Yes".

Courtesy and thoughtful, neither humble nor overbearing.

Song Mo nodded secretly, and said with a smile: "Since he is a member of the Cui family, he and Madam are close relatives, so I have nothing to do in the future, so I often come to the mansion to walk around and talk to Madam."

Cui Shisan has dealt with dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital for the past few years, and he is no longer the old Wuxia Amon, and only treats these as polite words."Yes" with a smile.

Seeing people's hearts for a long time, Song Mo didn't say much, thinking that with the addition of Mr. Chen and others, Dou Zhao would have his own guards around him, and there would never be such a thing as the British government going into trouble again.He immediately felt in a good mood, and chatted with Chen Qushui and others for a while with a smile, revealing the meaning of "we will be a family in the future, cooperation will benefit both, and separation will harm, we must live in harmony".Yan Chaoqing followed Song Mo's lead and talked about how the members of the Dou family helped the son.The expression is full of thanks, as if you are all my benefactors.

Chen Qushui knew that Song Mo was reassuring them, so he was humbled.It expresses the meaning of "they have all received the grace of Dou Zhao, and they will follow wherever Dou Zhao is, and they will only follow Dou Zhao's lead".

Liao Bifeng admired Dou Zhao greatly.

To be able to instigate these people and make them say such things in front of the prince, Madam is not ordinary!

He whispered to Yan Chaoqing in a low voice: "The meeting is over. Let's buy Mr. Chen a drink alone?"

Yan Chaoqing also felt the need, and nodded with a smile.

Song Mo stood up.Smiling, he said to Chen Qushui and others: "Everyone has worked hard all the way, take a good rest these few days, Madam must have a lot to ask you, so I won't delay everyone's rest."

Everyone got up to send Song Mo off.

Song Mo went straight back to the main room, and asked Dou Zhao who was sitting on the Linda Kang doing needlework: "I'm doing well today, right?"

Dou Zhao couldn't help laughing, put down his needle and thread, and said, "Why are you becoming more and more like a child?"

"I'm younger than you!" Song Mo said disapprovingly, and took a look at her sewing, "What are you doing?"

"I'll make you a winter coat," Dou Zhao smiled. "The Spring Festival is coming soon."

Song Mo stared at Dou Zhao and smiled, sat with him for a while, and said reluctantly: "I'm going to visit Gu Yu later, so you can talk to Mr. Chen."

Dou Zhao really has something to discuss with Mr. Chen.

She replied "Yes" with a smile, and sent Song Mo out of the house.

At this time, in a remote three-entry courtyard in the southeast corner of Tanjiazhuang, Lingshou County, the heroic Tan Juren stood respectfully in front of the white-bearded old Mrs. Tan, talking in a low voice: "The news is from The news from Cangzhou can never be wrong. Not only the chaos in Cangzhou, but also chaos in Kyoto, Taiyuan, Datong, Tianjin and other places. There are brothers fighting for Qiancheng, and friends turning against each other for money. Master Gongshi has a good trick, and a few thousand taels of silver have caused endless turmoil in the world. Fortunately, we took the child into our hands without saying a word, otherwise, we don't know what is waiting for us!" As he spoke, he showed worry, "At that time he asked us to deal with Miss Dou's family, but we refused. I don't know if he still remembers?"

Old Mrs. Tan didn't speak, but carefully twisted his chest-length beard, and said after a while, "How is Duan Gongyi at Dou's house now?"

"It should be a good time." Tan Juren said, "Miss Dou Si asked him to go to the capital with him. It is said that he will not come back for a while. He entrusted someone to help take care of the house, and he plans to take his old mother with him in a few days Go to Kyoto."

Old Mrs. Tan laughed when he heard this, and said, "Miss Dou's Fourth Miss got married, it seems like we haven't given any congratulatory gifts yet?"

Tan Juren's eyes lit up.

Song Mo's methods are vicious, and they live in seclusion here, fearing that they will be implicated by Song Mo if they are close, and fear that they will be hated by Song Mo if they are far away.Fourth Miss Dou is high-spirited, but she is a friend.

"I'll do it now!" His voice couldn't help being louder. (to be continued)
