Ninefold Purple

The daughter-in-law bought by Chen Jiaxin is called Yao Er. The husband and wife are both from the south. They used to be servants of a large family. Jin Yiwei's colleagues helped him find a few reliable servants, and Jin Yiwei over there bought this family to honor him in order to curry favor with him.Seeing that the woman was very orderly and steady, he let her manage the affairs of his inner courtyard, while Tao Er was on duty at the gate. One of the two sons worked with his father, and the other cleaned the outer courtyard, but the youngest daughter followed. Mother made a little girl in charge of flowers and plants in the inner courtyard.

It was the first time for Tao Er’s family to visit the British government. Before coming here, Chen Jia had repeatedly told her to let her know the importance of the British government to Chen Jia. She was very uneasy along the way. A black lacquered boxing carriage slipped in front of the mansion, and my heart was even more beating. I didn't expect Chen Jia to be so respectable in the British mansion. Hong, one of her hearts finally fell to the ground in the struggle of the reborn prince.

When I talked about it with Chen Jia when I went back, I couldn't help but feel happy.

Chen Jia was also a little surprised.

The British government doesn't just let you in when you come to give gifts. He doesn't have a third-rank official status, and the concierge doesn't even look at you. He is only a regular fourth-rank now. If he didn't go the way of Mrs. Shizi, how could he stand? place?How could the woman sent there get to see Mrs. Dou! [

He thought it would be better to move around more closely.

The next day, I took two tanks of high-quality realgar wine to see Duan Gongyi.

Duan Gongyi was like a mirror in his heart.

But there is no Chen Jia and Wang Jia, not to mention Chen Jia still has a temper with him, what does he care about?

He prepared a few appetizers and left Chen Jia to drink at home.

Chen Jiaben came here for this.Naturally, he readily agreed and suggested that Mr. Chen be invited over for a drink or two.

Duan Gongyi waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chen has something to do these two days, so he can't spare time. Next time you come, we will invite Mr. Chen to come over for a drink or two."

Chen Jia hurriedly asked what was the matter.

Duan Gongyi glanced at him with a smile.

He blushed, and said: "I can have today, all thanks to Madam Dou. I have always wanted to repay Madam, but Madam has everything. I just wanted to give something, but I couldn't get an idea. I just wondered if I could give it to you." Madame helped, that's why I asked this question."

Chen Jia said it intentionally, and Duan Gongyi listened intentionally.After sending Chen Jia away, he immediately went to see Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao was entertaining two young mistresses from the Lu family who came to give the gift, and Duan Gongyi waited for half an hour before seeing Dou Zhao.

"Ma'am, you asked me to inquire about it last time. Didn't I inquire about a ugly Yinmao?" He gave Dou Zhao an idea. "Do you think we can ask Mr. Chen Jia Chen to help inquire? His subordinates are specialized in this, we can't compare!"

Dou Zhao has always been curious about who was inquiring about the Li family in the first two years after the Li family moved out, and he was a little tempted when he heard the words.But he still said: "After all, it is an old matter in the mansion, it is always bad for people to know."

Duan Gongyi laughed and said: "I think that Chen Jia is very transparent. Let's just find any reason. Even if he knows the reason, he will pretend to be deaf and dumb."

Dou Zhao thought to himself, "I'll discuss this matter with Shizi first."

After all, it was related to Song Yichun's reputation, and Song Mo's face as a son was also blatant when the incident of that year was revealed.

Who knew that Song Mo didn't care that Song Yichun would affect him, and said with a smile: "That Chen Jia can't help but do two things for you, just leave it to him if you have anything to do!"

Dou Zhaodao: "What if he knows too much?"

Song Mo smiled and said: "He relies on me to get the position, even if he doesn't know anything, he still labels me. If he wants to change his course, he won't even think about being in the officialdom."

Dou Zhao thinks about it, and this is the truth.

Song Mo shook his head with a smile, and said: "You girls just like to think about the short stories of these parents. How long has it been since me, and you still want to know what's going on with the Li family?"

Dou Zhao giggled and said, "Isn't this something idle?"

Song Mo thought that Dou Zhao was very energetic when he had something to do, and seemed to be listless when he was not, so he couldn't help but smile slightly and respect the country.

If she finds these things interesting, let her go!

Song Mo told her about his plans during this time: "...the Tai Hospital has to be watched by people. However, most of the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital have been working in the Tai Hospital for generations. Well, it's not easy to ask for a message. Didn't the emperor always complain about headaches? I asked Yan Chaoqing to find a way to talk to a few staff members who came to Beijing to give gifts to the border officials. A famous doctor who is good at treating headaches is assigned to Tai Hospital. Things will be much easier."

The imperial hospital is related to the safety of the emperor, so it has the strictest control.

Dou Zhao told him: "You have to be careful, don't get yourself involved."

"En!" Song Mo smiled and shook Dou Zhao's hand, and then called the little maid to come in and change clothes.

Duan Gongyi went to Chen Jia's house in Yuqiao Hutong.

The two drank on the kang in the upper room and inner room.

Duan Gongyi half-truthfully complained to Chen Jia: "...I went to Ertiao Hutong several times, but I didn't ask about the south, east, and north. But I went so many times that I was recognized by people. It can be seen that this secret investigation It’s something that not everyone can do.”

Chen Jia regained his energy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "If there is nothing taboo about the matter, I will send a few people to help you find out."

"That's a good thing." Duan Gongyi smiled, "You are the son of the world, even if you have any taboos, it's not against you."

Chen Jia asked about what happened in detail.

Duan Gongyi hadn't finished speaking, but he already knew it in his heart.

Most of them are romantic debts left by the British Duke back then, and now the Shizi and the Duke are fighting, and they want to bring up the old matter again.

As long as he finds the people from Li's family, this matter will be considered a success.

Isn't that what he does best?

But no matter what, this is an old matter of the British government after all, Duan Gongyi was able to entrust this matter to him, it was not because the eldest son nodded his head.It was Mrs. Dou who nodded, and the two of them could point more, probably Duan Gongyi said something to him.

Chen Jia poured wine for Duan Gongyi with a smile, and finished drinking.Stuffed a purse for Duan Gongyi, and personally sent him to the gate. [

If you inquire about the Li family, you can leave it to Chen Jia.

Dou Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and waited for news at home.

As a result, a letter came from Huguang.It is said that Zhao Zhangru has diagnosed the happy pulse.

Naturally, Dou Zhao was overjoyed. She ate medicinal materials, gold and silver ornaments, silk and satin, packed a whole cart, and sent people to Huguang. She and Song Mo began to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival to enter the palace for the empress dowager, and the empress waited for the congratulations.

In the Compassion Palace, Dou Zhao met Dou Ming.

She was much thinner than before her marriage, with a pointed chin and big eyes.Even more charming.

Dou Ming also saw Dou Zhao.

Her gaze suddenly turned to a knife.

Dou Zhao wore a bright red court dress.He walked in from the outside talking and laughing in a low voice with Mrs. Changxinghou, Mrs. Xingguo, Mrs. Dongping, and other mistresses of the first-class meritorious families.

Her young face stands out among a group of women in their 40s and [-]s.

And they had just stepped into the Palace of Compassion and Peace.The most respectable Aunt Miao beside the Empress Dowager came up with a group of court ladies, greeted Dou Zhao and the others with a smile, and led them to the Empress Dowager's bedroom respectfully.Unlike them, the wives of the second and third-class meritorious families who have gradually lost their real power because they have long since lost their real power, they have to stand in front of the screen wall and wait.Only when the empress dowager calls for an audience...

Fortunately, Dou Zhao followed the ladies around the screen wall without looking sideways.

Dou Ming's hands clenched tightly into fists.

Someone else complained in her ear: "It's really different. When I entered the palace with my mother-in-law 30 years ago, I could see the nobles in the palace with just a notification. It's not like now, I have to wait outside." with..."

Dou Ming only felt that his face was burning hot.

Someone said in a low voice: "That young one is the wife of the Crown Prince, right? I heard that the concubine's delivery date is a few days before and after? What a blessing. Whether it is a man or a woman, I am afraid that the Crown Princess will remember it in her heart, that is the real blessing!"

Another person said: "Do you think that the British government is as shallow-sighted as you! The son of Shi Guogong was sealed as a hereditary fourth-rank official within a few days after he was born, and he started to participate in Qiuwei before he learned to walk. Who has such dignity? Their eldest grandson, even if he was born in July and a half, has a bright future, why are you helping me?"

Dou Zhao's due date is mid-June.

The person who was refuted was displeased, and gloated: "Maybe the eldest grandson of the British government really waited until July and a half to be born?"

"What nonsense!" Someone shouted, "This is in the palace, be careful that the walls have ears."

The lady still wanted to say something, but two maids came out from behind the screen wall.

All the voices stopped abruptly.

One of the palace maids laughed and said, "Who is Mrs. Jining Hou?"

Dou Ming was taken aback.

Someone next to her.

She hurried forward to answer.

The maid smiled and said, "The old ancestor heard that you are the younger sister of the British Crown Prince's wife, and would like to meet you!"

As soon as the maid finished speaking, Dou Ming seemed to hear a sigh of envy.

Her fists clenched tighter.

But as a noble person in the palace, she dared not reveal half of it.

Dou Ming thanked the two maids with a smile, and followed them to the Empress Dowager's bedroom. After bypassing the screen wall, she also stuffed two red envelopes for the two maids.

The two maids accepted it with a generous smile, and said: "Everyone says that Lord Dou gave his family wealth to his two daughters as dowry, and Madam Dou was also so generous when she entered the palace. You are welcome."

Dou Ming gritted his teeth angrily.

Dou Zhao got cheap and acted like a good boy. When did he get half of his father's property?

Thinking of this, her heart was covered with oil, and she couldn't breathe.

After kowtowing to the empress dowager, she almost turned her head to the empress dowager, brought her in front of her and looked at her carefully for a while, then raised her head and said to the empress empress and a group of wives from inside and outside: "It's still Yantang's daughter-in-law. Look better, Marquis of Jining, she's too thin!"

Fortunately, it is not too late!
