Ninefold Purple

After breakfast the next day, Wang Zhibing bid farewell to Dou Duo: "...My father only asked me to take my sister back. There are some things I don't know yet, so I have to tell my father."

During those years in the Northwest, Wang Zhibing not only served his father’s food and daily life, fulfilled his responsibilities as a son, but also helped his father, who was tortured in prison and unable to write at his desk for a long time, organize books, copy the residence newspaper, and write letters to old friends. , He also did what the staff should do. He has long been used to his father entrusting him with a job. Father complains or complains or even credits

The same is true for Wang Yingxue

He thought that although there were twists and turns, he could finally bring his sister back.

But now, things have long deviated from the direction, and he has no way to make a decision [

Dou Duo smiled and said, "That's what it should be."

personally sent Wang Zhibing to the door

Turning around, I heard Wang Zhibing's servant whispering to Wang Zhibing who was coming

Wang Zhibing's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurried out

Dou Duo's heart moved, and he whispered to Du An: "You!"

Duane walks away

After about two sticks of incense, he came back and said: "It is one of Mr. Wang's attendants who came. Hearing the accent, it seems that Mr. Wang is going to Gansu to become an official. Let Mr. Wang set off for Xi'an immediately... "

Dou Duo stood up from the chair all the time

"Could it be that the emperor is going to open the horse market?" He frowned and looked at Chaoqixia Courtyard

At the same time, the second wife also got the news

She rubbed the paper in her hand, pondered for a while, and called her close mother Liu to come in: "It's no fun staying at home every day, let's go to Mrs. Six's for a visit."

Ms. Liu was busy smiling, she must have helped the second wife to tidy up, arranged for a maid to serve her close by, helped the second wife into the small bamboo sedan chair, and personally brought the green silk and tung oil to Ji's place.

Mrs. Ji was talking with Wang Momo: "... There are advantages and disadvantages to opening a horse market. Even if Zengge's old and newcomers have such a plan, it stands to reason that they should figure it out slowly, otherwise, if they are not careful, they may lose everything. It’s a bit too hasty.” He said again, “But this trick is also very good. Everyone knows that Mr. Wang is determined to open the horse market. Even if those people below object, thinking of Mr. Wang’s determination, they must think about it. Second, if you want to open up the situation soon, it's really up to Mr. Wang."

Hearing that Mrs. Second Tai was coming, both of them were very surprised and exchanged glances. Mrs. Ji led Madam Wang to greet her with a smile.

The Second Madam glanced around and said with a smile, "Why don't you see Shou Gu?"

Ji's eyelids twitched slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Hui has already started to learn

Dou Zhao sat in front of the drawing table and practiced calligraphy. Although Tuoniang and Cailan were helping to fan him, his face was still red and his nose was covered with sweat.

Sensing someone coming in, she still finished writing the last stroke, and then looked up

Seeing that it was the second wife, she smiled and handed the pen to Haitang, the little girl who served beside her, and Tuoniang carried her off the chair, and bowed to the second wife.

The Second Wife chuckled, and said to the person next to her: "Look at this little man, he has only been with the Sixth Wife for a few days, and he behaves like a grown-up."

The people next to me laughed

Ji's eyes flickered a little.

Dou Zhao looked at Mrs. Er Tai with a half-smile

In the previous life, her father married Wang Yingxue ignorantly, and the two families became in-laws. In order to get Wang Xingyi's support, Uncle Wu became Wang Yingxue's biggest backer in Dou's family. If she wanted to grow up in peace, she had better not provoke Wang Yingxue's eyes, so she was sent to the villa to live with her grandmother in this life. In order to control her, the second lady wanted to raise her in the East Mansion and keep her in front of her eyes.

In the moment of death and thought, life is turned upside down!

It's so ridiculous... In mid-July, my father and sixth uncle arrived in Kyoto smoothly, and each sent a letter of safety back

And Zhao Si, who is far away in Ganquan County, Yan'an Prefecture, also received a note from his niece Dou Zhao

Angrily, he crumpled the note and threw it on the ground: "The Dou family is too deceitful! I want to see how the two of them get married if I don't write a letter of consent!"

Mrs. Zhao walked in lightly, looked at the ball of paper thrown in the middle of the study, bent over to pick it up, unfolded it slowly, stroked it and placed it on her husband's desk

"I just asked the person who sent the letter." She poured a cup of tea for Zhao Si and said softly, "Dou Shiying went to the capital to participate in the provincial examination and entrusted Shougu to the sixth wife to look after them. They are clerks in Ji's shop."

"You mean?" Zhao Si's gaze could not help falling on the crumpled piece of paper

"Shougu is only a five-year-old child, and she can't even hold a pen steadily," Mrs. Zhao said, "How does she know what to say and what not to say?"

Zhao Si's eyes suddenly became bright and sharp: "You mean, this envelope was written by Mrs. Six with Shou Gu's pen"

"Is it true? I don't know yet." Mrs. Zhao said carefully, "I just think these few words have a lot of meaning."

Zhao Si calmed down, sat in front of the desk, and held up the note with only a few lines of writing facing the sunlight... Wang Xingyi was of medium height, and ten years of torture in prison had made him grow prematurely, haggard and old

At this time, he was wearing a coarse kudzu coat and standing in front of the flower garden. If he hadn't opened and closed his eyes, he looked like a farmer in his dying years.

"Dou Duo," he murmured, "he is forcing me... to give Yingxue death"

Wang Zhibing was horrified and broke out in a cold sweat

"Daddy," he yelled, "you won't..."

Wang Xingyi glared at his son fiercely: "I, Wang Xingyi, have daughters and don't teach them, but don't they have any responsibility at all for the Dou family? It is said that Yingxue killed the Zhao family, did Yingxue contradict the Zhao family? Or is it in the Zhao family? Poison was thrown into the bowl of Dou’s house? She didn’t want Yingxue to come in, so she just insisted on not agreeing. Could it be that Yingxue could bypass her to enter Dou’s house? Since Yingxue was allowed to come in, then the Zhao family should guard their wives and concubines carefully. The way, what should be managed, what should be punished, what should be rewarded, and why did she make such a gesture again? Could it be that Dou Wan took a concubine and she was going to die? Was it that Dou Wan who killed the Zhao family? Your sister killed Mrs. Zhao, I think you will still say that you should not listen to the wind and the rain! She is your sister, the sister who feeds you, wears you, and takes care of your wife and children!"

Wang Zhibing kept silent

But Wang Xingyi was still furious, and said: "If Yingxue is wrong, then do whatever you want. As a father, I will never shirk, and I can guarantee that Yingxue will not shirk, but if Dou Duo wants to kill Zhao Shi I will never agree to falling on Yingxue's head."

Wang Zhibing couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said: "Father, that's not what I mean, I just think it's a bit inappropriate for Yingxue to behave like this..."

"Wen Wei, I'm the one who's sorry for you!" Wang Xingyi called the eldest son's name, his expression suddenly slumped, "You have been smart since you were young, but you haven't even got the reputation of a scholar; your brother grew up in the eyes of everyone since he was a child. Big, timid and cowardly, without a backbone; how can your sister show up in front of the public in order to make a living at a young age, compared to the daughter of a daughter who was raised in the palm of her parents' hands and has a simple mind? I know all these, I know all of this," he turned his face away Go, lest my son see his wet eyes, "Once I succeed, I will kill you for myself!" He said, turning his head suddenly, staring at Wang Zhibing like an eagle, "If you What's wrong, I am willing to compensate others thousands of times, but if you want me to kill you for my own name, then let them take my life first!"

The sonorous voice echoes in the flower garden

Wang Zhibing knelt down in front of his father with a "plop", tears instantly blurring his vision: "Father, it has nothing to do with you, it's because we failed to live up to you and lost your face..."

Today I spent a lot of effort to edit the character list. I haven’t had time to correct the typo in this chapter. Everyone will just read it first.
