Ninefold Purple

Chapter 33 I Don't Know

Of course Dou Zhao didn't know what Wang Yingxue's sister-in-law said in the house. She was taken to go fishing by her father Dou Shiying.

In June, the weather is still very hot, but the carriage is running, and the wind passes through the bamboo curtains, which still makes people feel very comfortable.

Gao Sheng, his father's entourage, acted as the coachman this time.While driving the car, he talked to his father: "...I went fishing with you two years ago. The kudzu on the mountain is pink and sweet, and I have never eaten such delicious kudzu. But this time it’s not the season, I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat it.”

"However, there is wild mugwort on the hillside," my father said with a smile. "It's not bad to pick some mugwort leaf tea or make mugwort porridge to clear away heat and fire!"

Looking at the carriage with only three people, Dou Zhao wondered, "Why doesn't Daddy bring a few servants and maids with him? There will also be someone to help with things!"

Gao Sheng chuckled and concentrated on driving the car.

The father patted her head, but did not make a sound.

As if she had said something wrong.

Dou Zhao murmured in his heart, and looked again, why is the scenery on the roadside so familiar!

She leaned on the car and looked out.

The dense sorghum field seems to be stretching as far as the eye can see, with several small farmhouses dotted in it, and the oily green hills in the distance rise one after another, and occasionally the road is lined with lush poplar trees.

This, isn't this the way to Grandma's Grange?

Dou Zhao looked back at his father in astonishment.

Her father thought she was shocked by the scenery in front of her, and pointed at the land of Shushu with a smile: "See if there is any yellow beard, it is Shushu. I will ask Gao Sheng to go down to have a look later. If it is familiar, I will break a few for us." Take it to the mountain and bake it."

Gao Sheng laughed again.

Dou Zhao was noncommittal.

The carriage quickly took a fork in the road, passed through a sorghum field, and drove towards a small hill.

Inexplicably, Dou Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.

The Lang family planted this millet field, and the grandmother's farm was next door to the Lang family's. The boundary marker was a human-high bluestone, engraved with the big Chinese character Dou.

After a while, the carriage stopped, they got out of the carriage, Gao Sheng tied the horse, and followed them with fishing gear on his shoulders.

Walking around an old pine tree, Dou Zhao heard the sound of gurgling water.

The expression on her face became a little weird.

She is too familiar with this place.

This is a small river located at the junction of the Lang family and the Dou family. The river water is clear and transparent, the river bed is very shallow, and the pebbles inside are clearly visible.Every June, a small whitebait like a shuttle in the river will eat green grass by the river.She often rolled up her trousers with the children on the farm and went fishing in the river net. [

On the other side of the river is a slope, and there are three wild peach trees growing in the shape of a character. Every spring, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, as delicate as pink, very beautiful.In summer, the wild peach trees will bear small green peaches, which are bitter and astringent, and cannot be eaten at all.At this time, they will run to the depression next to the wild peach tree to pick wild vegetables.Pearl vegetables, okra, physalis, southern alfalfa... In spring, young leaves are picked for cooking, and in summer, fruits are picked and sold in Zhending drug stores. , Reward two pennies to buy snacks.

Naturally, she doesn't have to do this for snacks, but wherever she goes, she always brings two maids who look like little tails with her. The two maids pick wild vegetables or fruits, and she shares them with her companions. Now, everyone likes to play with her more and more.

How did father know about this place?

Dou Zhao's mind was a little knotted, and when she came to her senses, she was already standing with her father under the big locust tree by the stream.

Gao Sheng set aside a stool under the big locust tree and served herbal tea.

Father took Dou Zhao to sit down on the beard stool under the big locust tree.

Gao Sheng chose a place with abundant aquatic plants to stand, took out the fishing rod, put on the bait, and started fishing.

This is what my father called fishing?

Dou Zhao was a little tongue-tied.

But her father drank tea leisurely, and told her: "Don't run under the sun, be careful to burn your skin."

Dou Zhao chatted and looked at Qingtaozi on the other side.

The wind blew, the branches rattled, and the green peaches swayed with the wind.

Father laughed and said, "The peaches are bitter and astringent, so you can't eat them. When the next spring comes, I'll send someone to Zhending Mansion to buy you peaches from Kyoto and come back to eat."

Even know this!

Dou Zhao widened his eyes.

Over there, Gao Sheng has already caught a small fish.

He threw the small fish into the small bucket and said with a smile: "As it is today, Master Qi and Miss Fourth will have fish to eat tonight!"

The father laughed and said, "Today we'll go to Baoshan's house to grab a meal!"

Gao Sheng said "oh" a little strangely, but didn't ask further.

But Dou Zhao had no scruples, and said, "Why should we go to Feng's house for dinner?"

Father hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Aunt Wang's sister-in-laws are here. Their family is not what it used to be, and they have some connections with Fifth Brother. It stands to reason that I should treat them well, but Aunt Wang is a concubine after all. It's not right to come out to entertain those who are not well-known. When we go back after we have dinner at your Uncle Feng's house, they should also go back to Nanwa."

No wonder the hot weather comes out to fish! [

Dou Zhao was stunned.

The father smiled and said, "Let's go to the hillside to have a look!" Then he climbed to the top of the hill with Dou Zhao in his arms.

Looking around, the grandmother's house can be clearly seen, and Dou Zhao can even see the grandmother standing in the front yard talking to the servant.

Dou Zhao was very surprised.

I don't know if it was her illusion, but grandma kept looking at them as if she could feel their presence.

Dou Zhao turned around.

The father stared at the grandmother's house intently, with a serious expression.

There was a "buzz" in Dou Zhao's mind.

It turned out that my father had always expressed his longing for my grandmother in this way.

She never knew!

Father, what's the secret?

Dou Zhao was thinking, and his father murmured to himself: "I didn't know that I was not born by my mother when I was nine years old. I just want to know what kind of person gave birth to me? I don't want to make my mother sad." But when I think of her staying alone in this farm for so many years, I feel very sad..."

She just felt panicked.

Could it be because of this reason that she was sent to the farm in the previous life?

That day his father told Wang Yingxue that he needed a legitimate son.

Could it be because of this reason that Dou Xiao only existed in the previous life?

In the previous life, her father had only two concubines, but he seldom spent the night in the concubine's house. She thought it was because her father liked Wang Yingxue. Dou Xiao two...

She really wanted to ask her father.

But these have never happened in this life.

She was in a mess.

※※※※※

Gao's heart was also in a mess.

She knew that Pang Zi was a man with many eyes and no rules in his words and deeds, but she never thought that she would say such a thing, let alone that my sister-in-law would show emotion on her face.

She couldn't help but get angry, and sternly scolded Pang Zi: "Don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others. It's too..." She wanted to say "too shameful", but she thought that she would have to be in the same room in the future. In and out, Naidi corrected, "It's too much!"

Pang Yulou was very happy when he saw Gao's face changed, and he spoke unambiguously, "Sister-in-law, I am not like you. I have read the books of sages and sages, and my words are all the same. I know, people do not do what they want, and heaven and earth are destroyed! My sister-in-law ended up like this, why? It’s not because of our family! Now the family has improved a little, why, I think my sister-in-law is ashamed, so she turns her face and refuses to recognize anyone? You can do it , I can't do it! I know, this person needs to know what is good or bad. Back then, when my sister-in-law was a girl, who was not pointing at our family behind my back for the family's business, why didn't you jump out and say something at that time? Etiquette, righteousness and shame? After all, it’s because you have to rely on my sister-in-law for food..."

Gao couldn't help but glanced at Wang Yingxue, and saw Wang Yingxue nodding her head almost imperceptibly.

She suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and there was a bit of coldness in her heart.

"Shut up!" Mrs. Gao sternly interrupted Pang Yulou, "it's fair to rely on one's own hard work, so why be afraid of the gossip and gossip of those villains! Dou Qiye is engaged, but you are doing it for selfish reasons To destroy the marriage of Dou Zhu's family, to act despicably, everyone can despise, how can it be compared..."

Pang Yulou sneered: "What is selfishness? What is publicity? Is it selfishness to want to eat, dress, and live a good life? Giving all your things to others is publicity? Is my sister-in-law not as good-looking as the fifth lady of the Zhu family? Or is she born less than the fifth lady of the Zhu family Miss? What's more, it was Dou Shiying who lied to my sister-in-law that he was not married, and my sister-in-law was careless for a while. Why can't she right it? Why can't she take back what should belong to her? Sister-in-law, don't forget , you are from the Wang family. My sister-in-law met Dou Shiying because she was asking for medicine for your son!"

Gao's face turned pale, his chest heaved violently, and he couldn't say a word for a while.

"Sister-in-law, I support you in this matter." Pang Yulou sat on the head of the bed, and immediately changed into a gentle and watery appearance, comforting Wang Yingxue, "If others neither eat nor drink from you, if they say you are not good, then It should be. But those people who ate your food, drank your food, and blamed you there are more vicious than the outsiders..."

"Second sister-in-law!" Wang Yingxue cried and leaned on Pang Yulou's shoulder.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Pang Yulou took out a handkerchief to help Wang Yingxue wipe away tears, "You listen to me, I promise that the family will retire obediently..."

Gao closed her eyes and opened them after a while, her expression calmed down a lot.

She called "Yingxue" softly, and said: "At the beginning, it was my sister-in-law who was sorry for you, and I will apologize to you. I have been married to the Wang family for so many years, and I said that I was the host, but in fact, without you, this I can't support my family at all. You have always been smart, and you don't need to say some things, you should understand. The concubine's room is corrected, and the Zhao family is required to write a letter of consent. The Dou family and the Zhao family are so deadlocked, how can the Zhao family Maybe you will write a letter of consent? And you have seen the attitude of the Dou family. If they intend to straighten you up, when the Zhu family disagrees with the date of marriage, they can just take the opportunity to dissolve the engagement with the Zhu family. Why did they wait until this time? What's more, the Zhu family It's not a small family, the Dou family can't offend the Zhu family for us. Although my father has recovered, he is only a small seventh-rank county magistrate. You have to think about what to do in the future."

Wang Yingxue leaned on Pang Yulou's shoulder and said in a soft voice: "Sister-in-law, didn't you always tell me that there are some things that you have to try to know?"

Gao was so blocked that he couldn't breathe, and finally said "Think about it carefully", and walked away.
