Ninefold Purple

Dou Zhao watched Aunt Six leave, but he was thinking about Uncle Fifth asking for leave.

Uncle Fifth is the servant of the Ministry of Officials. If he asks for leave, who will he ask for?

Of course it was his immediate boss, Zeng Yifen, Minister of the Ministry of Officials and Master's Office.

what!

Dou Zhao couldn't help laughing. [

I don't know if Wang Xingyi heard the news, would he rush back to the capital to explain to Zeng Yifen, who was also his teacher, why the fifth uncle asked for leave?

Tuo Niang looked at Dou Zhao inexplicably and laughed, and called out "Miss" in surprise.

"It's okay, it's okay." Dou Zhao smiled more cheerfully, and she shook Caishu's arm, "Caishu, I want to go home, I want to see Daddy!"

"But Mrs. Six has ordered that she will take you back home when she comes back." Cai Shu was in a dilemma.

Dou Zhao didn't care and insisted on going back.

She is a child now, it is normal to be noisy and willful.

Caishu had no choice but to call a little maid to ask Mrs. Ji to show her.

Mrs. Ji is in the flower hall.

She glanced at the second wife who was sitting on the main seat, and then at Lang Geer, eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law sitting opposite her, feeling a little delicate.

But the second wife looked at Dou Shishu, Dou Shiyang, the third wife, Dou Shiheng and Ji Shi sitting opposite her, but her heart was full of anger.

What to talk about, the third, fifth, and sixth siblings have discussed it a long time ago, but their third room is trying to drive ducks to the shelves. I didn't know why the second wife called them here before, and how to discuss it ?

She understands the truth that there are no eggs after the nest is overturned, but she is forced to clean up the mess for Xifu just like this.She was furious.If she objected, with Lao Wu's heart, I'm afraid there are a lot of reasons waiting for her, can she speak Lao Wu's words?One mistake.It may also leave everyone with the impression that she seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, and does not dare to take responsibility. She is the clan wife of the Dou family, so what prestige and credibility will she have in the Dou family in the future?

The second wife glanced at the first wife.

The eldest lady was pale.His eyes were puffy, but his expression was calm.

A widow who has been a clan wife for more than ten years, her husband has died, and her child is still young, she has her own plans.

Among the uncles and brothers, the fifth brother, Dou Shishu, has the best future. Brother Lang will rely on this fifth uncle for help in the future. They must not turn against Dou Shishu.

When the uncle was alive, he served as an official in Jiangnan for many years.They have quite a bit of savings, not to mention these things, even if the Dong Mansion distributes half of the property to Shou Gu, and the other six houses share the remaining half equally, save some money.It is enough for them to live for two or three generations, so why bother making trouble for money.

As long as there are people, I am afraid that there will be no money!

However, the second bedroom has the most sons, so if I propose to share the six bedrooms, I'm afraid the second bedroom will not agree. [

Fortunately, now that she has relieved herself of the responsibility of the clan's wife, she doesn't have to take the lead in these matters.

The eldest lady pursed her lips tightly.

The second wife was full of resentment.

If I had known this, I shouldn't have listened to Mrs. Er, and followed my husband.

In order to let his sons study hard, he was afraid of being charged with "unfilial piety".She left all four sons in Zhending.Now the eldest son, Dou Wenmao, is studying and practicing with the master in Kyoto. The second son, Dou Yuchang, the third son, Dou Xiuchang, and the fourth son, Dou Guangchang, who is the fifth among the brothers, study in the family school.Wenchang is in his thirties, but he is still a scholar; although Yuchang is good at reading, he is much worse than his two uncles, Dou Shiheng and Dou Shiying; needless to say, Xiuchang got married early, The son has given birth to several.But reading books is not as good as his son Zhigeer; Guangchang is a little better than Xiuchang...

Thinking of this, she broke her heart and said with a smile, "What does fourth brother say?"

Dou Shishu, the fourth master of the Dou family, has been stagnant in raising people's fame. A few years ago, he finally gave up the idea of ​​being nominated for the gold list. Through Dou Shishu's request, he made a long history at the Xinyang Prince's Mansion, the eldest son of the emperor in Xinyang. It is said that King Xinyang liked him so much that his family moved to Xinyang two years ago.

Dou Shishu listened, hesitated for a while, took out the envelope from his sleeve, and signaled the servant girl to pass it to the second wife: "This is the reply letter from the fourth brother. I thought something was wrong, so I didn't take it out..."

The second wife scolded Dou Shishu a hundred times in her heart.

Xinyang is thousands of miles away from the capital, and as soon as I open my mouth, you will be able to take out the letter from the fourth child... Didn't you premeditate, I bumped my head to death in this hall!

But I understand in my heart that the general situation is over!

The fourth child has long been in collusion with the fifth child...

She didn't need to read the letter, she already knew what was written in the letter.

But she couldn't resist opening the letter.

Sure enough, Dou Shishu not only agreed with Dou Shishu's distribution of property in Dongfu, but also suggested that Shougu's dowry should be shared equally among the six families.

The second wife simply gave the letter to the eldest wife.

The eldest lady showed a faint smile when she looked at the corner of her mouth.

The second wife sighed secretly in her heart, and then she heard the eldest lady laughing, "Fourth uncle and I thought about going together. I think we can do it according to what fourth uncle said. This is not a matter of any one family. , this is related to the future of Fifth Uncle and the rise and fall of the Dou family."

"I didn't show fourth brother's letter earlier, just because I was afraid that the two sisters-in-law might misunderstand." Dou Shishu hurriedly said with a smile. I appreciate the kindness of this sister-in-law. Since this matter is decided by me, let me take care of it? I can't drag everyone into trouble."

What the second wife wanted to say, the second wife had already smiled and said: "He also discussed this matter with me, and I also agreed. You don't want to argue any more, it's decided like this." The second wife made the decision , told Mother Liu: "Go and talk to Guanshi Dou and ask him to invite the old man from the West Mansion over, and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him." Then she said to Dou Shibang, "You have always been in charge of the general affairs of the two families. Take the time to sort out the accounts in a few days, and when the time comes, someone from the Zhao family will come to discuss which properties should be transferred to Shougu's name."

Dou Shibang hurriedly stood up and answered "yes" respectfully.

The little servant girl who was asked by Mrs. Ji saw the situation, how could she dare to go forward, she ran back and said that there was no way to get in front of Mrs. Six.Caishu had no choice but to coax Dou Zhao non-stop. [

It happened that Grandma Liu came out to deliver a message, seeing this, she couldn't help laughing and said, "What's the matter?"

Cai Shu hurriedly told Mother Liu what had happened.

Nanny Liu is the second wife's close old servant, namely Dou Shishu.Also give her some face.Normally, it would be fine if she asked a few questions about her concerns, and she would never take the matter on herself.She can think of everything that happened in the flower hall just now, based on her understanding of the fifth master of the Dou family.As long as it's something Dou Wuye wants to do, there is nothing he can't do, and the weight of the Fourth Miss in the West Mansion in her heart has suddenly risen linearly.It has reached a point where people cannot ignore it.

She couldn't help laughing and said: "I was ordered by Madam Tai, and I am about to invite Guanshi Dou to go to the West Mansion. Why don't you let Guanshi Dou take you there, and you just leave a message for Mrs. Six. Flesh and blood, how can there be no regrets?" Missed? It’s no wonder Fourth Miss insisted on going back.”

With Mammy Liu's words, Caishu became more courageous, told the little maid beside her, and accompanied Dou Zhao back to the West Mansion with Tuoniang.

Gao Sheng is instructing the boy to move Dou Shiying's cage.

See Dou Zhao is back.Hurry up and salute.

Dou Zhao asked him, "Where is my father?"

He smiled happily: "Qi Ye went to Qixia Courtyard."

Dou Zhao turned around and wanted to leave, after a little thought, he asked Haitang to accompany Caishu, and took Tuoniang to Qixia Courtyard by himself.

From a distance, she saw Pangzi standing proudly in the yard, instructing the maids and mother-in-law to serve tea and water.

Dou Zhao made a detour to Dou Shiying's study.

The corner door in the backyard of Qixia Courtyard.Diagonally facing Dou Shiying's study.

The corner gate is ajar and guarded.

She entered the Qixia Courtyard without a hitch.

There are several magnolias planted in the backyard of Qixia Courtyard. When the flowers bloom, they are as bright as brocade, so the courtyard is named Qixia Courtyard.

Dou Zhao listened to his father and Wang Yingxue talking in the Nuan Pavilion behind the inner room.

"...I'm just an ordinary man, selfishly wanting to live happily and forget the past," said the father, "but whenever I see you, I will think of Gu Qiu How did you die? My heart hurts like a knife...Yingxue, let's start all over again!"

Wang Yingxue was stunned: "You, what do you mean?"

"Yingxue, don't you understand?" Dou Shiying looked at Wang Yingxue with a complicated expression and murmured. "If we're together, I can't give you anything other than fame..."

Dou Zhao in the warm pavilion gritted his teeth angrily.

What is a new start?

What do you mean you can't give anything other than your name?

A woman, you are willing to give her a name, what is more important than this!

She couldn't listen anymore, she came out of the warm pavilion angrily, and went straight to the courtyard of Qixia courtyard.

Like a gecko, Pang was lying on the lattice and eavesdropping, while her maid was watching from the side.

The maidservant of Dou's family stood far away in the corner of the verandah, with a bit of contempt in her expression.

Dou Zhao stood there quietly, looking at Pang with a half-smile.

Pang's maid suddenly found Dou Zhao.

Her face was flushed, and she kept tugging on Pang's clothes: "Second Grandma, Second Grandma..."

"Don't make noise!" Pang said impatiently, "When you speak, I can't hear you!"

"No," the servant girl was so anxious that she was about to cry under Dou Zhao's gaze, "it's the Fourth Miss, the Fourth Miss of the Dou family is here..."

"Who?" Pang turned his head and saw Dou Zhao not far away.

"Oh, so it's Miss Fourth!" She patted her skirt seriously, trimmed her sideburns, and said with a smile, "Miss Fourth, why are you here? Who accompanied you here?"

In past and present lives, Dou Zhao admired her self-talk.

The people in the house rushed out when they heard the movement.

"Shougu?" Dou Shiying looked at her daughter with a gaping mouth, "Why are you here? Aren't you at your sixth aunt's place? Who brought you here?" As he said, he looked around and saw Tuoniang, his face darkened, Just as he was about to teach him a lesson, Dou Zhao said, "Caishu came with me." After saying that, he turned around and walked out, "I'll go back with Steward Dou's car later!"

She didn't want to stay in this place for a quarter of an hour.

"Slow down!" Dou Shiying chased after her daughter, "I'll go with you to say hello to grandfather..."

Wang Yingxue, who followed, stood on the steps, watching the figures of Dou's father and daughter gradually drifting away and slowly disappearing from his sight.
