Ninefold Purple

Chapter 43 Changing Strings

Wang Xingyi's hand rested heavily on Wang Zhibing's shoulder.

A young man was poking around outside the flowerbed.

Wang Xingyi's face was slightly gloomy, and he had an awe-inspiring air: "What's the matter?"

The servant ran over tremblingly: "My lord, there is a man surnamed Du who said he is the steward of Zhending Dou's family. The fifth master of their family is of the same age as you. He sent you a letter by the order of their old master." .”

"Could it be Dou Zhenzhi?" Wang Zhibing asked in confusion. [

Zhenzhi is Dou Duo's epigraph.

"It should be him." Wang Xingyi sneered, "Didn't he say that Yingxue killed his daughters-in-law? The blood feud is irreconcilable. I don't know what he wants from us?" He said, ordering the boy, "Take the letter. come over."

The boy trotted all the way to bring the letter.

Wang Xingyi glanced at it and handed the seal to his son.

Wang Zhibing took the letter suspiciously, read ten lines at a glance, and quickly finished reading: "Dou Zhenzhi actually wants you and their housekeeper to ask Zhao Ruifu to agree to set Yingxue upright?" .

Wang Xingyi sneered, and said to his son: "Now you know why I said that?"

Wang Zhibing didn't know.

Wang Xingyin sighed helplessly, and taught his son patiently: "If the Dou family sincerely does not want to right Yingxue, let alone the Pang family went to make trouble, even if Yingxue refuses to leave, they can forcefully frame her. It has been delayed until today, but the Dou family has their own plans. When you came back and told me, I was still a little uncertain, but now I can guess eight or nine. Most likely Dou Yuanji watched his teacher reuse I, I was afraid that I would steal his limelight. I wanted to use Yingxue Fuzheng to sell my favor. As a result, Dou Duo and the people in the Zhao family disagreed. Not only did Dou Duo disagree, but he also hoped to anger me through you, so that Yingxue's death will give Dou Yuanji a drudgery." Wang Xingyi said.After snorting coldly several times, he said, "But Dou Zhenzhi suddenly changed his mind. Put the responsibility on the Zhao family - it's not that he disagrees, but Zhao Rui disagrees." He pondered, "If my guess is right I'm afraid Dongdou and Xidou are at odds with each other. The reason why Dou Duo temporarily changed his mind is because Xidou has only one seedling, Dou Shiying, and he has a career. The power is weak, and now I am in Gansu Governor, you want to get married with our family, and take advantage of me to join forces against Dou Jiyuan."

Seeing his father's eyes full of admiration, Wang Zhibing said sincerely, "Then what should we do now?"

Wang Xingyi didn't seem to hear it.He said to himself, "Could it be that Yingxue really killed Mrs. Zhao?"

Wang Zhibing was astonished.

Wang Xingyi said loudly: "Dou Zhenzhi's letter said that he had sent people to negotiate with Zhao Ruifu twice about Yingxue's rectification, but Zhao Ruifu avoided him and asked me to meet Zhao Ruifu. It doesn't matter if Dou Zhenzhi wanted to bypass Dou Yuanji Let me accept his favor, or want me to see how much energy he has spent on Yingxue's rectification, or want to prove to me that Zhao's death is indeed related to Yingxue, or want to use my official authority to suppress Then Zhao Ruifu agrees, you can go for me. By the way, let's see what medicine is sold in Zhao Ruifu's gourd?" It seems that the sentence just now was just a momentary slip of the tongue.

Wang Zhibing was quite hesitant: "Father, the Dou family said that it was the younger sister who killed Mrs. Zhao, and at the same time wanted to correct Yingxue for the sake of father being respected by Mr. Zeng Ge... cold and ungrateful... isn't it possible?" The person I made friends with...My sister may not have a good life..."

He looked at his father hesitantly.

"I know." Wang Xingyi said contemptuously, "I want to see, what are they trying to plot against me?" When he said this, he paused. "As for Yingxue, help me persuade her and tell her all these interests. If she still insists on being with that Dou Shiying... Her sufferings will only be suffered by herself..."

It means not helping her anymore.

Wang Zhibing looked at his father in surprise.

"Justice and fairness are easy, but it's hard to be unbiased." Wang Xingyi murmured, "Although I hope she can live well, I can't live on her behalf. There are some things that she has to understand herself."

Wang Zhibing nodded heavily: "Father, I understand. After I went to meet Zhao Ruifu, I immediately set off for Zhending." [

And when the second wife knew that Dou Duo had contacted Wang Xingyi privately and asked Wang Xingyi to help persuade Zhao Si to agree to set Wang Yingxue upright, it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival in September, when osmanthus seeds were fragrant, chrysanthemum yellow and crab fat, and this news came along with it Yes, there are also Dou Shiying and Dou Shiheng who are both famous on the list.

Everyone in the Dou family was overjoyed, and Dou Duo even exchanged a basket of copper coins from the first year of Taiping. He sent two stewards to stand at the door of his house, and they sent them out whenever they met. People from the whole Zhengding County flocked to the door of Xi Dou.

Mrs. Ji personally combed Dou Zhao into a bun, wore a pearl headband, and changed into a bright red shirt with ten patterns of makeup and flowers. With an unstoppable smile in her eyes, she asked her: "Shou Gu are you happy?"

Go through everything again, no matter how happy things are, there will be less surprises.

But she still answered "Happy" with a smile in accordance with her identity.

Ji kissed her on the cheek with a "slap", and took her hand: "Go, let's go congratulate your uncle and grandma, and ask for a red envelope for you."

Dou Zhao nodded with a smile, and went with Mrs. Ji to the Ertai Madam.

It's just that as soon as they opened the curtain and entered, they heard the sound of broken porcelain coming from the inner room, and then the second wife's madam roared angrily: "What does he mean by that? We are afraid that we will kill her niece!" ? At 30 years old, why didn’t he say let us guarantee her to live past 50 years old?”

Knowing that she came at the wrong time, Ji hurriedly dragged Dou Zhao to her aunt.

Dou Zhao was very curious about who the second wife was talking about and what made her so angry, but she was not in a hurry, Aunt Six should figure it out soon, as long as she stayed by Aunt Six's side all the time.

Thinking of this, she felt a little worried.

As she gets older, I am afraid that this kind of effortless thing will not be enjoyed in a few years.

After drinking a cup of tea with the auntie, they went back to the house.

Cai Lan who was standing in the veranda also followed in.

She glanced at Dou Zhao first, bowed her knees to salute Mrs. Ji, and then said in a low voice, "The fifth master has come. He said that Uncle Zhao promised to straighten Aunt Wang..."

"Ah!" Aunt Six was taken aback.

Dou Zhao was relieved.

It seems that uncle is not a brave man.

Whoever wants to do this kind of thankless task can do it, and there is no need to drag himself into the water.

In the previous life, my uncle paid too much for her.In this life, she would rather suffer some grievances than to make her uncle repeat the mistakes of the previous life.

Wang Yingxue wanted to straighten her up.Then fix her up.

In the previous life, Wang Yingxue could barely pretend to be happy when she entered the door. In this life, she has been in the door for five months and gave birth.And Dou Ming's marriage.I'm afraid it will be more difficult than the previous life. [

"However," Cai Lan glanced at Dou Zhao again, "Uncle Zhao's family has put forward two conditions. One is that the Wang family is not allowed to intervene in Miss Fourth's marriage. The other is to allocate half of the property in the West Mansion to Miss Fourth as a dowry. From the day the Wang family gets the consent of the righting, a special manager will take care of the dowry of the fourth lady; if the fourth lady dies after the age of 30, the dowry will be handled by the fourth lady; if the fourth lady dies before the age of 30 and has children, the dowry will remain To the heirs, if there are no heirs, Miss Fourth's dowry will be used as compensation and belong to the Zhao family."

"What did you say?" Aunt Six gasped.

Cailan glanced at Dou Zhao again and repeated.

"How could this happen?" Aunt Six said with a headache, "Zhao Ruifu really dares to say it!"

Dou Zhao was already dumbfounded.

I was afraid that the Wang family would marry her casually.She can understand; half of Xidou's property can be divided... Not to mention the grandfather, even the second wife of Dongdou would not agree.

No wonder the second wife has been clamoring for "50 years"!

However, she soon sobered up from her daze and calmed down.

The Dou family can make demands, but why can't uncle make conditions!

Just like the Dou family's request to straighten Wang Yingxue, the uncle's proposal to give her half of Xi Dou's property as a dowry is equally unthinkable, but your Dou family can do it.Why can't uncle think of it?

Asking prices all over the sky, just sit on the ground and pay back the money!

Only an uncle with such awareness can protect himself and not be eaten alive by Dou and Wang's family!

The corners of her mouth could not help but bend into a pleasant arc.

Let the Dou family worry about this matter!

Ji's green fingers touched her forehead: "Silly girl, you're still laughing! Do you know what your uncle has done for you?" She sighed, "Your uncle gave up the chance to get promoted and get rich. With all my heart, I only hope that you will grow up safely and marry a good man, and in the future, you must be filial to your uncle!"

Dou Zhao kept nodding, and said sweetly: "I will be filial to my sixth aunt when I grow up."

She spoke the truth.

In the previous life, if she hadn't listened to the words of the sixth aunt before she got married, she would definitely have taken many detours.It's a pity that the sixth aunt in her previous life was a gentle and polite daughter-in-law of the Dou family who was always somewhat alienated and indifferent in her bones. , And always stay on nodding and smiling when meeting.

In this life, even though she is an ignorant child, Aunt Six doesn't care whether she remembers her goodness or not. She not only takes good care of her, but also helps her plan how to survive in Dou's house surrounded by wolves...Give her a fish , it is better to teach him how to fish.She will never forget this kindness.

Where did the sixth aunt think of this, she smiled and said: "Oh, our birthday aunt's mouth is so sweet."

But Dou Zhao could tell that the sixth aunt was very happy.

In the evening, the sixth aunt and Wang Momo whispered: "...I have always been worried that Zhao Ruifu would go head-to-head with the Wang and Dou families. Now it seems that we have all underestimated Zhao Ruifu. The third uncle went to Wang Xingyi behind Uncle Fifth's back, just to get rid of him. The ball was kicked to Zhao Ruifu because I did not agree to straighten Wang Yingxue, it was the Zhao family who made a hindrance. Now Zhao Ruifu kicked the ball back cleanly, it was not because I did not agree to straighten Wang Yingxue. It can be regarded as lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot!"

"That's not it." Wang Momo said with a smile, "I heard that the old man was so angry that his eyes were blackened, and he closed his breath on the spot. If Duan hadn't helped the old man with his hands, the old man might have fallen headlong into the lotus pond Yes. However, our wife was happy after smashing the teacup, and even talked with Lang Geer for a long time."

"That's it," Ji said with a smile, "according to me, if our wife is more transparent, she should come forward to persuade my third uncle to agree to Zhao Ruifu's conditions. Anyway, if the money is not given to Shougu, it will not be the Dongfu's turn. Why don't you just be a favor and be disgusted? Wang Yingxue, don't you want to help? Then take out half of Xi Dou's property and give it to Zhao Guqiu's daughter. If Wang Yingxue finds out, I'm afraid the quilt will be torn tonight."



I think Uncle Zhao's idea is pretty good, what do you think?
