Ninefold Purple

Dou Zhao couldn't tell whether he was jealous or envious, all his blood rushed to his chest, feeling overwhelmingly uncomfortable, he was afraid that if he looked at his son one more time, he would do something that he regretted.

"Bring the right card to Shi Ziye." She instructed Cui Leng, "Pass on my words, from now on not only Shi Ziye's house, but also Second Master's and Sister Yin's house will be handled by Mrs. Zhu."

"Mother!" Brother Wei raised his head, feeling something unusual.

"Ma'am, don't do it!" Zhu's voice was shrill, and his face turned pale in an instant.

After all, it is the person I choose, very transparent. [

With her watching beside the children, she can also guard against those ghost tricks.

Dou Zhao closed his eyes and waved his hands: "I'm tired and want to take a break, you all go down!"

"Ma'am!" Zhu Shi kowtowed to Dou Zhao with tears in her eyes.

Brother Wei looked at Mrs. Zhu in puzzlement.

Dou Zhao waved his hand again and turned his back.

"Ma'am, don't worry, even if the servants give up their lives, they will take good care of the young master and young lady." Zhu muttered, kowtowed to Dou Zhao again, and retreated with brother Wei.

The room was quiet, and there was a kind of desolation and loneliness after people left the building.

Dou Zhao felt sad from the heart.

If Wei Tingyu was more mature and willing to take on the responsibilities of a man, how could she, a housewife, take care of the general affairs of the Wei residence?How could he ignore the strangeness of the two children?

If the mother-in-law cared more about the two grandchildren and didn't always think about praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, how could the two children treat the Zhu family who has no blood relationship as their close relatives?

Or, did she simply choose the wrong person?

If Mrs. Zhu was greedy, greedy, trampled on highs and lows, vulgar and courteous, and liked to gossip, the two sons would not be obsessed with her.

But how could she let such a person stay by her son's side and teach him?

She didn't even know who to resent!

Whenever this time, Dou Zhao would think of his mother who died young.

She is so young, why is mother willing to leave her alone?

If the biological mother was alive and taught her how to be a wife and a mother, wouldn't she have to suffer so much, take so many detours, and the children would not be separated from her?

This is an answer.

Dou Zhao only felt tired all over his body. [

She covered her head with a quilt and buried herself in the silence.

Dimly, she heard a burst of crying one after another, and wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were as heavy as gold, and she couldn't lift them no matter what.And Wei Tingyu cried softly in her ear, "What can I do if you are gone?" After a while, the voice changed into Mrs. Guo's again, "Don't worry, brother Wei is my grandson-in-law, how can I do it?" Keep him safe."

Am I dead?

Dou Zhao struggled to open his eyes, and found himself sitting on the heated kang, the sun shone on the snow in the yard, and reflected through the doors pasted with Korean paper, and the room was bright with snow.

A pretty young woman with a red mole on the corner of her mouth was sitting opposite her, playing with her rope.There are also four or five maidservants ranging in age from ten to fifteen sitting around the kang doing needlework.

They all wore fine cotton padded jackets, coarse skirts, or small silver lilacs, or silver hairpins. The plainness revealed the little girl's orchid quality, which made people smile knowingly.

Dou Zhao didn't know anyone in the room, but he felt very kind.

In the past, at my natal family in Zhending County, their servants dressed like this in winter.

It turned out that she had entered the dream again.

Dou Zhao giggled, and slipped down the kang, wanting to see how some little maids were doing needlework, but his feet failed to touch the ground, and he was hung on the edge of the kang.

Several little maids pursed their lips and smiled.

The pretty young woman hurriedly helped her get off the kang, still muttering: "What does Fourth Miss want? Talk to the nurse! The nurse will get it for you."

So this is her wet nurse!

Dou Zhao couldn't help laughing.

In the past, the nanny was a white and fat steamed bun, but this time it was a delicate branch flower. I don’t know what it will look like next time?

She ran towards the little maids who were doing needlework, and suddenly found that she had become much smaller. The tables, chairs and benches that were normal to her in the past were more than twice as tall.

ha!This dream was done to the smallest detail!

The little maids doing needlework raised their heads and smiled kindly at her.

Among them, the older ones are doing shoe soles, and the younger ones are doing webbing. All of them are skilled in their techniques, and it can be seen that they are used to doing these jobs.

A biting cold wind poured in.

Dou Zhao raised his head and saw that the warm curtain was raised, and a woman walked in surrounded by several servant girls.

People in the room got up and saluted the woman one after another, calling them "Grandma Seven". [

Dou Zhao stared at her blankly.

She is only eighteen or nine years old, of medium height, slender and slender, with a long face, willow-leaf eyebrows, a small cherry mouth, and wearing a peach-colored vase-covered beige, which reflects her skin light as snow, and people are like flowers. Jiao.

This is her mother!

I don't look like my mother at all.

She is tall, curvaceous, with an oval face, long eyebrows, plump red lips, white skin, slightly sharper eyes, and a heroic and aggressive look, just like her father was printed in the same mold.When she first married into the Jining Hou Mansion, in order to make herself look softer, she trimmed her long eyebrows and painted them into willow-leaf eyebrows. She talked with people with half-lidded eyelids, and she was able to pretend to be a three-pointed mother.

Mother walked over with a smile.

She could see more clearly.

Mother's face was white and crystal clear, like the best jade, without any blemishes, it was very beautiful.

She bent down and scratched Dou Zhao's nose, jokingly said, "Shou Gu, what's the matter? I don't know my mother anymore!"

Shougu?

Is it her nickname?

She never knew she had such a nickname.

Tears came suddenly.

She hugged her mother's thigh indiscriminately.

"Mother, mother!"

Crying like a helpless child.

"Oh, ah!" The mother didn't feel her sadness at all, and asked the nurse with a smile, "What's wrong with Shougu? Why did you start crying?" There was no doubt or blame on the nurse, obviously I have a lot of trust in the nanny.

"It was fine just now." The nurse was also very surprised, so she had to say, "Maybe it's because you came? My daughter cried when she saw her."

"Really?" The mother carried her to the hot kang, "This child, my skirt is wet from crying."

Dou Zhao was stunned for a moment.

Shouldn't the mother be most worried about why the child is crying?Why is mother most worried about her skirt...

She, is she really her mother?

She widened her eyes.

There were still two rows of crystal clear teardrops hanging on the small face.

The mother laughed "Pu Pu", wiped her tears with her handkerchief, and said to the wet nurse, "This child, you are so stupid!" Then she hugged her tenderly, kissed her little face, and said, "You are so stupid!" Daddy is coming back soon, are you happy?" The corners of his eyes and brows were filled with uncontrollable joy.

Dou Zhao said "ah" and was about to jump up.

How could she forget such an important thing!

What happened between her parents back then, she didn't know the details.However, according to Tuoniang, her father met her stepmother when she went to Kyoto to take the provincial examination.As soon as the poor mother knew about it, she saw a letter from her father saying that she would travel around the capital. She didn't doubt him, but she just looked forward to it at home every day, and was worried that her father's money was not enough, thinking about secretly sending her companion Yu Daqing I sent some silver to my father as an envoy, but somehow my grandfather found out about it, and in exchange for a scolding, I gave up.

The township examination was in August, and it was already snowing outside. It should have entered severe winter at this time, and my father hadn't come back yet, but my grandfather was still alive. He couldn't celebrate the New Year outside. That is to say, it was still too late to warn my mother.

But the mother hugged Dou Zhao tightly, and Dou Zhao struggled several times but couldn't stand up, so anxious that she called "Mother" loudly.

"What's wrong with Shougu today?" The mother was puzzled by her daughter's unusual uproar, and looked at the nurse sternly.

The nurse's expression became a little nervous: "I slept with Fourth Miss until Chenzheng, and I ate a bowl of millet porridge, a meat bun, and a flower roll..."

"Didn't I say that every morning when you wake up, you should give Shougu a glass of warm water first?" The mother interrupted the nurse's words in a deep voice, "Did you give her water this morning?"

"Drink it, drink it!" The wet nurse hurriedly said, no longer as relaxed as before, "I followed your instructions, covered it with a quilt first, and put a close-fitting little jacket on the fourth lady, and then I served the fourth lady Warm water to drink..."

oops!What are you talking about now?

She grew up with her grandmother in the farm in the countryside until she was 12 years old. In summer, she went fishing with the farm laborer’s children. When she was thirsty, she drank water from the small river. In winter, she went to the mountains to hunt sparrows. When she was hungry, she roasted sparrows. adult.

Dou Zhao shook his mother: "Mother..." He wanted to tell her "Daddy is going to bring a woman back", but as soon as the words came out, he felt as if his throat was blocked by something, and the good sentence turned into a vague "Daddy ... woman ..." two words.

Seeing Dou Zhao speak, the mother turned her head, looked at her with a smile, and said patiently, "Shou Gu, what do you want to say?"

"Mother," Dou Zhao said with difficulty, "Daddy...woman..." This time the words were clearer, but still not clear.

She was so anxious that her forehead was sweating.

The mother smiled, ignored the word "woman" and said happily: "So our birthday girl misses daddy too! Gao Sheng sent a letter back, saying that your daddy will be here in two days and bought a lot of fireworks for the New Year." , Lanterns and candles. It’s the fireworks in Kyoto! They can bloom in a variety of colors, not to mention Zhending County, even Zhending Prefecture doesn’t sell them...”

At this time, what kind of fireworks and firecrackers are there!

Dou Zhao was so anxious that he simply said "daddy" and "woman" repeatedly.

The mother's expression gradually became serious, and she said seriously: "Shougu, what do you want to say?"

Feeling relieved, Dou Zhao took a deep breath and said word by word: "Father, father, take, let, woman, person, come back..."

The childish voice is childish, but clear and loud.

As if someone had slapped her across the face, the mother showed shock, doubt, and astonishment on her face.

The nurses and maids looked at each other in dismay, with panicked expressions.

The room was dead silent.

The warm curtain was thrown aside with a "shua", and a little girl with a three-girl bun ran in panting: "Grandma Qi, Master Qi is back, Master Qi is back from Kyoto..."

"Really!" The mother immediately beamed with joy, lifted her skirt and ran out, ran two steps, stopped, thought for a while, turned around and came back to hug Dou Zhao, "Let's go pick up daddy together!"

It seemed that my mother became suspicious.

Dou Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, put his arms around his mother's neck, and said "yes" loudly.
