Ninefold Purple

No matter how calm Jiang Yan was, she was still just a little girl after all, when she heard that she was going out to play, she immediately became happy.

Dou Zhao asked her, "Where do you want to go climbing? The leaves of Xiangshan Mountain are turning red these days, and it's time to enjoy the scenery, but it's a bit far away. Fang'er Mountain and Xuanmo Mountain are good, but I'm afraid that the emperor will also go there at that time. Martial law is required."

Jiang Yan has never been there, so he can't talk about where he wants to go or where he doesn't want to go.

She hugged Dou Zhao's arm and said with a smile, "I'll follow my sister-in-law!"

That completely trusting tone made Dou Zhao's heart soften. [

She ordered Ruotong to go to the sewing room to see if the new clothes made for her and Jiang Yan were ready, and then ordered Ruodan to instruct the kitchen to prepare chestnut cakes and make chrysanthemum wine, and discussed with Jiang Yan to bring some maids. son to go together.

Yizhitang suddenly became lively.

An Shi, the wife of the eldest son of Yan'an Hou Mansion, came to visit.

Dou Zhao was quite surprised.

Yesterday Song Han confessed his relatives, but no one came from the Marquis of Yan'an. It stands to reason that they should avoid her for a few days. Why did they come to visit her in such a hurry?

She invited Anshi to sit in the banquet room.

Mrs. An didn't turn the corner. After tea, she asked Brother Yuan and explained her intentions: "I heard that Mrs. Bo, the Governor of the Five Armies, told your cousin about marriage, and you agreed. I don't know what this is Is the marriage settled yet?"

Dou Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a smile, "It's just a mention. The Shizi hasn't had a chance to say it yet, so it can be settled!"

Mrs. An let out a long breath, and said with a smile: "We are not friends, so I will speak directly. When I first met your cousin, I wanted to be a matchmaker for her, but I didn't Knowing what kind of family you want to find for your cousin, you have hesitated until today. Now that someone has come to propose marriage to your cousin, I am anxious again, for fear that you will marry her to someone else." She said, sipping She smiled, "The other party is a brother from my natal family. He is 28 years old this year. Although he is not as old as Miss Cousin. But this age also has its advantages. At least I know that it hurts people.

"His first wife was difficult to conceive, and he left behind a sister and son, who is also nine years old this year. In a few years, they should get married. There are two farms in the family, a crude medicine shop, a pawn shop, a grain and oil shop, The family is not rich, but they don't have to worry about food and drink. He is honest and loyal, and he is afraid that his sister will be wronged if he remarries, so he has dragged it until now.

"You discuss it with Shi Ziye, see if he likes my elder brother."

Not to mention being a bit old and not yet famous, this is not a good marriage.

Presumably An's thought the same way, so she wanted to be a matchmaker before but there was no movement.Now seeing that they all wanted to see each other as Mrs. Hu introduced, she came to propose marriage without hesitation.

This is like throwing a brick to attract jade.The line note that Mrs. Hu received at the beginning had an effect.

As for Song Motong's disagreement, it's like a blind man eating glutinous rice balls.Everyone knew it in their hearts, but it was just an excuse to let go. Dou Zhao agreed. Could Song Hei stop it?

Dou Zhao smiled and nodded.

An's mind was slightly settled, he chatted with Dou Zhao, got up and said goodbye.

Jiang Yan, who heard it clearly in the inner room, did not show the slightest shyness, but was white and pale.in silence.

Dou Zhao sensed that something was wrong, and sent a servant girl to ask her in a low voice: "Do you think the conditions of this house are not as good as you want?" [

Jiang Yan shook his head, hesitant to speak.

Dou Zhao sighed.

Li Tiaoniang is really harmful!

What a girl.Developed such a cowardly temperament.

She persuaded her softly: "We are one of the only relatives you have here. What can you not tell us? If you are afraid of trouble or blame and just bear it yourself, you will be sad. We saw Even if you say something at this time, even if it is not what you and my brother like, but you are living comfortably, we can feel at ease when we see it!"

Jiang Yan listened to his eyeballs rolling, held Dou Zhao's hand tightly, and said in a low voice, "I, I don't want to marry."

Is it because the trauma of the past still remains in her heart?

Dou Zhaodao: "What happened in the past is not your fault, you are also a victim. We will not force you to marry, but you also try to forget all the things in the past and start your life again. OK?"

Jiang Yan nodded gratefully.

When Song Mo came back in the evening, Dou Zhao couldn't help sighing with him.

Song Mo didn't make a sound, but when he was practicing calligraphy in the study, he called Lu Ming over: "The one surnamed Wei and the one surnamed He, you have to take good care of them and don't let them have any accidents."

Lu Ming shuddered, and retreated in response to the respectful voice.

Song Mo finished writing three sheets of paper without saying a word, and then returned to the inner room.

It was like opening a fan and everyone discovered what was going on inside. For a few days, someone came to match Jiang Yan.

Dou Zhao was very embarrassed, and said to Jiang Lizhu who came to visit the house: "If I don't agree with any of them, it will appear that I am hypocritical, and I don't like this or that. But if I agree, sister Yan will look at each other for a while. I wouldn't be in the mood. If I had known this, I shouldn't have agreed to Mrs. Hu so quickly."

Jiang Lizhu smiled and said: "You didn't expect that there are so many speculators, did you?"

speculation?

Think about it carefully, this is really the case!

Dou Zhao couldn't help laughing, and said: "It's because you have a clear mind and enlightened me with one word."

Jiang Lizhu smiled and asked, "Why didn't you see my cousin? Is he busy these days?"

Dou Zhao was very surprised, and said with a smile, "Do you have anything to do with your cousin? He's on duty in the palace this year, and he can only leave the palace at You o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Why don't you come back after You o'clock tomorrow?"

Jiang Lizhu hesitated for a while, and said: "I really have something to do with my cousin... I shouldn't hide it from my sister-in-law, but I don't know how to talk to my sister-in-law..."

Dou Zhao is not that kind of stingy person, not to mention that although she and Jiang Lizhu have only been in contact with each other for a few months, Jiang Lizhu is a straightforward person. Since she doesn't know what to say, Dou Zhao will naturally not ask.

"I'm not as narrow-minded as you think." She joked with a smile, "Why don't you come over early tomorrow morning, play with me all day, talk to your cousin, and go back after dinner."

Jiang Lizhu thought for a while, then smiled and agreed.

The next day, Dou Zhao arranged a banquet for her.

Jiang Yan enthusiastically accompanied her to watch the flowers and scenery.

The two met Miao Ansu at the gazebo in the back garden.

Ruotong, who was serving beside Jiang Yan and Jiang Lizhu, hurriedly said: "This is the second wife of our mansion." Then he introduced the two to Miao Ansu: "This is my cousin, Mrs. Jiang, and this is from the Jiang family. Thirteenth Aunt's Grandma, Young Mistress Wu."

The two sides bowed their knees and saluted.

Only then did Miao Ansu realize who Jiang Yan was.

She couldn't help but look at Jiang Yan a few more times.

Jiang Yan moved towards Jiang Lizhu a little uncomfortably.

Miao Ansu glanced at him, and exchanged a few words with Jiang Yan and Jiang Lizhu.Back to his new house.

Jiang Yan took a long breath.

Jiang Lizhu couldn't help shaking her head, and said, "You are an upright young lady from the British government, she is a concubine, what do you have to be afraid of?"

Jiang Yan murmured: "I, I'm just not used to it." Then begged her: "Good sister, don't tell my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law and brother know about it, and they have to worry about me again."

Jiang Lizhu patted her hand and said, "Don't worry. I'm not the one who picks things up."

Jiang Yan curled up his mouth and smiled, his small face was like a pear blossom in full bloom, gentle and delicate.

Jiang Lizhu sighed.

When the two returned to Yizhitang, the nurse in charge was offering Dou Zhao a taste of the newly brewed chrysanthemum wine.

Dou Zhao just smelled it, but asked the little maid to serve each of them a small cup, and said with a smile, "You guys have a taste too!"

It is brewed with high-quality thick wine, and the mouth is soft and sweet.

Jiang Lizhu praised.

Dou Zhao asked her to take the two altars home: "Give your parents-in-law a taste, it's our kindness."

Jiang Lizhu knew that Dou Zhao was trying to save face for her, so she responded with a smile, although she didn't say anything.But he kept this feeling in his heart, thinking about if there is a chance in the future.We must avenge Dou Zhao's support and support.

The three of them ate and drank in the inner room, teasing Brother Yuan who had just woken up, and Song Mo came back.

Jiang Lizhu and Song Mo went to the study to talk.

Dou Zhao and Jiang Yan tried on the clothes and jewelry worn on the Chongyang Festival mountaineering ground in the inner room.

When Song Mo returned to the house, there were things all over the chairs on the kang, Brother Yuan even grabbed a big red handkerchief in his hand, and he slammed his mouth and cried when anyone moved him.

Everyone was amused and laughed.

Song Mo teased, "Would this kid be a playboy when he grows up?"

Dou Zhao said with a smile: "Bo Yan also grabbed a box of rouge when he was catching Zhou. When he grows up, he won't be named on the gold list and entered the Imperial Academy!"

"Oh. And this?" Song Mo was very interested, and said, "Why did you have a box of rouge when you caught Zhou?"

Ordinary people expect their children and grandchildren to have great achievements, so they will not let these things go.

Dou Zhao smiled and said: "My father put it. When my eleventh cousin's family was seven catties, my father also put a bead flower on it. When my sixth uncle found out, everyone from the Han family had arrived. Aunt Six said, Uncle Six had no choice but to secretly pray that Qi Jin would never catch that bead flower."

Jiang Yan and the others leaned forward and back with laughter.

Song Mo thought of the deserted Jing'an Temple Hutong, and said with a smile: "On the ninth day of September, we also invited my father-in-law to climb the mountain together, right?"

Dou Zhao never thought of asking his father to travel with him.

She was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay! I'll let someone ask Dad to see if he has an appointment with someone else that day!"

Song Mo nodded and went to the study.

Dou Zhao and Jiang Yan accompanied Jiang Lizhu to dinner for one night, and then sent Jiang Lizhu to the Chuihua Gate. After the sedan chair left, they went back to their room to rest.

On the bed, Song Mo told Dou Zhao about Jiang Lizhu's intentions: "The story about my fifth uncle fighting me for money has spread, and my aunt has heard about it in Haozhou, so I asked my thirteenth cousin to ask me what happened to me." What's the matter? Tell me not to recognize Fifth Uncle as usual, saying that she will write a letter to reprimand Fifth Uncle, and let Thirteen Cousin bring me a letter, saying that if you give me something, it will be mine. This is also Uncle's wish. If the fifth uncle refuses to accept it, let the fifth uncle go to her to argue..."
