Ninefold Purple

Dou Zhao got off the kang, and said to Su Xin: "Let's go, let's go to Xiaohua Hall! People from Daxing Farm have sent all the little girls over, and we'll pick a few smart ones to stay."

Because she was attacked on the way, Su Xin returned halfway, so the matter of choosing a maid was naturally delayed.

Daxing Grange didn't know what happened.But what was originally agreed suddenly changed, and the head of Tianzhuangzhuang felt very uneasy.A few days later, Yizhitang brought a letter and asked her to take the girls directly to Yizhitang, and she became even more nervous.

Afraid that Dou Zhao would be dissatisfied with the people she had chosen, they all returned; she was afraid that the little girls who had never seen the world would be ridiculed if they said wrong words or did wrong things... She repeatedly told the little girls to stand up. Straight, don't turn your eyes around, and don't speak too loudly or too softly, so that the little girls who have lived in the farm since childhood and listened to their ancestors telling how the British government grew up in a prominent place are frightened, and their hands and feet don't know what to do. put away.

When Dou Zhao and Su Xin went in, several little girls were standing in the middle of the hall like logs with pale faces. [

She couldn't help but smiled slightly, remembering the scene when she first saw Gan "Lu" and Su Juan in her previous life.

"Which farms did they send them from?" She talked to the head of the farm in a gentle voice, and the expressions of the little girls relaxed a little.

"These two belong to our farm." The Zhuangtou's family pointed to the little girls and introduced them to Dou Zhao one by one, "This one belongs to Wanping Farm, and these two belong to the farm over there in Langfang..."

There were a total of twelve little girls, all between eight and nine years old, all of whom lived in farms near Kyoto, and their ancestors had been tenants of the Song family for several generations, and some of their elders had worked as servants in the British government.

Dou Zhao was very satisfied and kept all the little girls.And said: "Although there is a certain number of maids and servants, when I came to the capital from Zhending, only Su Xin and a few servants followed me. They should be my dowry maids!"

Since she is a dowry maid, the clothes for the monthly and four seasons come from Dou Zhao's dowry.

Zhuangtou's family was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed their knees to express their thanks.

Originally it was said that only six people would be needed, but now all of them are kept. Others will not think that these little girls are all favored by Madam, they will only say that she has such dignity in front of Madam.

Zhuangtou's family couldn't help feeling secretly in their hearts.This woman has a rich dowry, but it's different. She can keep people if she wants to.

Dou Zhao entrusted the children to Su Xin to be disciplined, then called Gao Xing's family in, and led Zhuangtou's family to handle the paperwork for the children.

This place has just been set up, and Song Mo came back from the Wucheng Bingmasi Yamen.

Dou Zhao asked him, "Are you going to be on duty at the Wucheng Bingmasi Yamen from now on?"

"It's just temporary." Song Mo let Dou Zhao change his clothes.He smiled and said, "Jinwuwei is the main one." Then he asked about the maid: "I heard that Daxing has sent all the people here. Is there any suitable candidate?"

"I think it's pretty good," Dou Zhao smiled, and Song Mo led her to sit on the big kang next to her, "All of them stayed here." As for where the expenses will be paid, Dou Zhao thinks it's a trivial matter, not much explain.

Since Song Mo handed over Yizhi Inner Court to Dou Zhao.Naturally, Dou Zhao has the final say on these matters, he will not intervene, what he is most concerned about now is Dou Zhao's body: "After I left, have you vomited again?"

Get up this morning.She vomited so faintly that in the end, she even vomited out water, which frightened Song Mo into a petrified state.It took a while to react, holding Dou Zhao in his arms and stroking her back non-stop.comforted her.

"No." Dou Zhao said with a smile, "I've been fine since you left. I asked Gao Xing's family, and she said it's normal, so don't worry. It might get worse after a while, but after three months Enough."

Song Mo pondered and said: "I think it's better to bring my aunt here! With her old man here, I feel more at ease."

Dou Zhao had experience, so she didn't think there was anything to worry about, but Song Mo insisted, so she had no choice but to comply. [

Early the next morning, Song Mo went to Jing'an Temple Hutong.

Fortunately, Dou Shiying went to the Yamen, Song Mo only said that Dou Zhao was not feeling well, there was no elder at home, and he wanted to invite his aunt to stay for a few days.My aunt listened, and when she counted the days, she was overjoyed immediately. Before Song Mo finished speaking, she stood up and said, "I see. I'll take her cousin to the house to chat for a few days. You are busy with business, so you don't have to Take care of it. Leave it to me."

Before Song Mo was worried that his aunt would be scruples and would not want to live in the British government. Now seeing his aunt answering his request without saying a word, and thinking of Dou Zhao talking about how the Zhao family treated her well, he couldn't help feeling very I am grateful, and I am a little more respectful to my aunt.

When Dou Shiying returned home, she was shocked when she heard that her aunt was going to live in the British government for a few days, and asked her what happened.

The aunt was smiling all over her face, so she let Dou Shiying know about it.

Dou Shiying was stunned, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time, but after she came back to her senses, she kept smiling foolishly. When Song Mo came to pick up her aunt, Dou Shiying pulled Song Mo up and down for a good look, and finally Said: "I still have some good things in my hand, which are specially reserved for my grandson. You have to fight hard."

Song Mo was sweating instantly.

Is this just a matter of his striving?

But the father-in-law had already spoken, so he could only bite the bullet and say "yes" submissively.

Only then did Dou Shiying let go of Song Mo with a smile on his face, and sent Song Mo, his aunt, and Zhao Zhangru to the gate.

Over there, Dou Zhao had already packed up the guest room and waited for his aunt. They met each other, talked and laughed, and only left in the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, my aunt ordered the kitchen to make radish porridge, and poured some vinegar on the porridge.

Dou Zhao ate two bowls before putting it down.

The smile on Song Mo's face didn't dissipate until Wucheng soldiers and horses.

Those who have good things think it is an opportunity, and when they talk about Wei Tingyu: "...I didn't expect to be hand in hand with the eldest son!"

Song Mo said gently and authentically: "In the British government, I am the eldest son, and in the Wucheng Bingma Division, I am the imperial court official. Just call me 'Master' or 'Song Qian Shi'."

The flattery patted the horse's leg.

The visitor looked embarrassed.

Someone warned him: "Master Song has been here these days, have you seen Master Wei visit?"

The face of the visitor changed drastically, and he cupped his hands in salute: "Brother, please give me some pointers!"

The man looked around and saw that there was no one there, so he said in a low voice: "I heard that Master Song married the daughter of the Dou family, but Mrs. Wei was recognized as the daughter of the Dou family because of her biological mother's support. Mrs. Song is a girl. Mr. Song even looked down on Mrs. Wei's background even more because he kept in touch with Mrs. Wei when he was young. You must know that Mr. Song is the eldest son of the British government."

It was the first time for the visitor to hear about this, and he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "What else do you know, tell me quickly!" [

The man smiled, but didn't make a sound.

The visitor suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "It's because I didn't think carefully. Later, we will go out and have a drink or two."

The man smiled and nodded: "Today I will bother you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, running in opposite directions.

※※※※※

Dou Zhao, his aunt, and Zhao Zhangru sat on the kang doing needlework.

The aunt taught her earnestly: "Children's clothes. You need to find some old clothes and change them. The "hair", "rough" and rough places can be worn smoothly, so that the child's delicate skin and tender flesh will not be hurt... This woman gave birth, It's like passing through the gate of hell... After three months, you have to walk around the yard frequently. The heavier the month, the more you have to move. Why do the nobles in the palace often have dystocia, but the "women" in the field have one life? This steady woman, The "nanny" needs to be found in advance, so as not to panic after the baby is born..."

Zhao Zhangru's eyes widened, and after a while he glanced at Dou Zhao's belly, and after a while, Dou Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, and laughed softly while his aunt and Su Xin opened the box to find old clothes Said: "Just say what you have to say. You are like this, making people panic!"

Zhao Zhangru leaned on Dou Zhao's shoulder when he heard the words: "Are you really pregnant?"

"Ten times." Dou Zhao said with a smile, "It won't be confirmed until the doctor checks the pulse next month."

"You are really amazing!" Zhao Zhangru looked at Dou Zhao with admiration, "The eldest sister was married for half a year before she got pregnant. You have only been married for less than two months..."

Dou Zhao can't laugh or cry.

A little servant girl came in cautiously, and said: "Ma'am, there is a man who calls himself Chen Zanzhi and asks to see him!"

Chen Zanzhi, Chen Jia.

What is he doing here?

Dou Zhao simply said: "No see!"

The little maid responded timidly.retreated.

Zhao Zhangru wondered: "Who is Chen Zanzhi? Can you see a foreigner? Doesn't the son talk about you? Just leave it to you?"

"What nonsense!" Dou Zhao pinched Zhao Zhangru's cheek, "I meet guests openly. Why is it called nonsense!"

"Ah!" Zhao Zhangru tilted his head, avoiding Dou Zhao's attack, and said, "Your Majesty treats you very well, my second brother-in-law don't tell my second sister to see a foreigner, even if I go back to my mother's house, I will hum Haha, it made my mother sigh!"

Dou Zhao was very surprised. Just as he was about to ask carefully, the little servant girl came in again: "Madam, that Mr. Chen insisted on seeing you, and also said that it is related to the son..."

This Chen Jia, what do you mean?

Since it was related to Song Mo, he should go to Song Mocai. No matter how bad it was, he could also go to Mr. Yan or Chen Hai, and came to find her. What's the matter?

Dou Zhao frowned, but she thought that he was the governor's business, and she didn't dare to gamble with Song Mo's safety, so she hesitated a little, and still met Chen Jia in the Xiaohua Hall.

Chen Jia was wearing a very ordinary cocoon jacket, with low eyebrows and smooth eyes, coupled with his usual appearance, as if he could not be found in the crowd, without the slightest ostentation of Jin Yiwei, but it made Dou Zhao feel slightly stagnant , looked at Chen Jia twice more.

"Ma'am!" Chen Jia saluted Dou Zhao respectfully, and said in a deep voice, "The emperor is going to Xiyuan in a few days, but the son is sick, so he has to wait in front of the bed and cannot go with him. Maybe Dong Qi, the eldest son of Guang Enbo, accompanied the emperor to Xiyuan for a short stay, do you know?"

Dou Zhao was startled, turned his head a few times before he understood what Chen Jia meant.

This is a world she doesn't understand.

She pondered: "What is the old grudge between Dong Qi and Shizi?"

"Dong Qi has no old grievances with the son." Chen Jia whispered, "Eighteen years ago, when Guang Enbo and Ying Gong were just sons, they had a very good relationship. Later, for some reason, the two turned against each other. Afterwards, Dong Qi won the crown prince in Qiuwei, and also took away the position of deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard from the crown prince..."

He told Dou Zhao something about Song Mo and Dong Qi in Jinwuwei.

Dou Zhao listened to him quietly, smiled and said "Master Chen, thank you for your hard work", and served tea.
