Ninefold Purple

Wang Yingxue was thinking about how to ask this question, the second wife over there was already smiling and beckoning to Dou Zhao: "Come, come to my uncle!"

Dou Zhao smiled and hid behind Ji.

Ji slapped Dou Zhao lightly.

Dou Zhao was unmoved.

Ji had no choice but to smile and said to the second wife: "I don't know who this child is with? When I buy things, I have to read this and that, but when I give things, I become shy."

"It's good, it's good! It's true." The second lady didn't think it was disobedient, she still turned around and took out a paper box with a big red five bats coming to the door from under the kang and handed it to Dou Zhao, "This is your fifth uncle. Send someone to bring back the bone-in abalone conch from Kyoto, eat it!"

Wang Yingxue was taken aback.

Bone-in abalone is a famous dish in the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that it is made of milk.

When she was in Kyoto, she had heard the children of the rich and powerful families brag about it, but she had never seen it, let alone tasted it.

Ji Shi was also a little surprised.

The workmanship of boned abalone is complicated, and not many Jiangnan can do it.Or in response to the saying that what is rare is the most precious, Mrs. Tai likes to eat this very much, and Dou Shishu will get some for Er Taifu whenever he has the opportunity.This time during the Chinese New Year, Dou Shishu only brought back two boxes, but Mrs. Tai unexpectedly rewarded Dou Zhao with a box.

She hurriedly smiled at Dou Zhao: "Shougu, this is what your fifth uncle honored your uncle and grandmother. There are only two boxes in total. You should thank your uncle and grandmother soon."

Dou Zhao was surprised.

In her previous life, she had eaten abalone with bones at the family banquet of Wang Qinghuai, Marquis of Yan'an. At that time, Mrs. Wang Jiatai wrote down her faint complacency and was even ridiculed by Wei Yanzhen in private.

Didn't she accompany Aunt Six to pick up things from Ji's shop.Seeing people buying new year's goods all over the street, I felt that I should also buy something for the sixth uncle's family, and I was afraid that saving them would cause some unnecessary troubles, so everyone got a share.Bought a bunch of little things back.

The one given to the second wife was the small box in cloisonné enamel with a passion flower pattern in her hand.

I never thought that the second wife would reward her with a box of boned abalone conch.

Although she doesn't like the second wife, she will not misinterpret her kindness at will.

Dou Zhao smiled and went forward to thank Mrs. Er Tai.He took the box with a smile.

The second lady nodded with a smile.

When the little maid came in, she said: "Mrs. Second Grandma, Second Mistress Xiu brought the young master and miss of the Wu family to greet you. Sister Ming and Sister Yi also came here together."

"Please come in quickly, please come in quickly." The second wife said repeatedly.

Wu's family lives in Xinle, Dou's family lives in Zhending, and they are officials in the same dynasty, so they can be called fellow villagers.It's just that Wu Songnian is relatively lonely, and he is in the Hanlin Academy.One is in the Ministry of Officials. Although the two are relatives by marriage, they have not been in close contact.Later, Dou Shishu was unhappy, and Wu Songnian often invited Dou Shishu to drink at home instead, and the two got closer and closer.Because of this, Mrs. Ertai attached great importance to Wu Songnian's two children.This is why Wu Shan and Wu Ya often come to the house as guests.

In the previous life, Dou Zhao had only heard of Wu Shan's name. [

He is good at calligraphy and painting, and he is a bosom friend with Dou Dechang.After Dou Dechang abducted Ji's cousin, it was Wu Shan who accompanied him around the Ji and Dou families. One sang the red face and the other sang the bad face. It became a momentary favorite.

Dou Zhao was very impressed.

She has always felt that anyone who can turn black and white is not a simple person.

Therefore, when the Wu brothers and sisters were surrounded by a large group of people and several children walked in, she took a good look at the only boy, Wu Shan.

Wu Shan felt that someone was watching her.look back.

Dou Zhao smiled politely at him.

Wu Shan smiled back at her, like all well-educated seven-year-old boys, his smile was clean and sincere.

Dou Zhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In another ten years, I don't know what these children will look like?

Dou Ming, who was already three years old, saw his mother standing aside with her head bowed as soon as she entered the door.

Surprised and delighted, she struggled to get down from the nurse's arms, shouting "Mother" loudly.He rushed over and hugged Wang Yingxue.

Wang Yingxue's complexion changed slightly, and her voice hurriedly whispered: "What did I tell you?"

Dou Ming stuck out his tongue, and called "Auntie" coquettishly.

The second wife, Mrs. Ji, and Second Grandma Xiu are all people who have experienced things. As soon as they heard it, they knew that Wang Yingxue taught Dou Ming to call her "Auntie" in front of others, but asked Dou Ming to call her "Mother" behind her back, and she immediately frowned. All frown.

If it was in the past, the second wife would have reprimanded her a long time ago, but now Dou Duo is annoyed that Dou Shishu pressured him to distribute half of his property to Dou Zhao. There are some things that the East Mansion is too difficult to intervene in, but this does not mean that she can tolerate such things. Things happened right under my nose.

"Sister Ming," the second wife called Dou Ming seriously, "how did Nanny Liu teach you?"

Dou Ming quickly let go of his mother, ran to the second wife, and respectfully blessed the second wife and Ji.

The second wife gave a "hmm" and said to Wang Yingxue, "Did sister Ming behave a lot?"

This is very catchy.

Wang Yingxue's heart skipped a beat, knowing that there was something wrong with her daughter's address just now, but in front of the second wife, a serious granddaughter-in-law has no place to speak, let alone an unidentified concubine?

She didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly said with a respectful smile: "Sister Ming can learn the rules in front of you, that's her good fortune!"

"It's best if you think so." The second wife accepted Wang Yingxue's compliment politely, and said, "Sister Ming, stay with me!"

Wang Yingxue was astonished.

The second lady turned her face to Dou Ming and said, "And your sister!" without looking at Wang Yingxue again.

It's not that Dou Ming deliberately didn't salute to Dou Zhao. She lived by Wang Yingxue's side for many years, and besides Wang Yingxue, she never had any control over her. It was only when she came to the Second Lady's side that she began to learn to salute to her elders, but she was still young. , can't tell the difference between superiority and inferiority.It still only stops at older people to salute, and younger people only need to call sister or brother.

She obediently called Dou Zhao "sister" and saluted Dou Zhao like the second wife.

Dou Zhao returned the gift, and ordered Tuoniang to put the bone-in abalone conch that the second wife rewarded her just now on a crystal plate: "... I don't know that the brother and sister of the Wu family will come. I will borrow flowers to present Buddha, and everyone will taste it together." Grandma's good stuff."

The whole room is full of words, and the maids are looking for plates or holding chopsticks.The atmosphere immediately became lively.

Ertang's sister-in-law even smiled and said, "Our sixth aunt is still knowledgeable. Shougu has been with you for a few days, and she can even say things like 'borrowing flowers to present Buddha'."

Ji was very surprised, but her natal nephew, Ji Yong, who was only two years older than Dou Zhao, had already learned the "Three Character Classic", she was not particularly surprised.

"Look at Brother Zhi in our family. I have taught him for seven years. I have never seen him have such a heart," she said modestly, "It can be seen that this is a child."

"You don't need to say polite words in front of me." After all, the food belonged to Mrs. Wu, and Dou Zhao was able to take it out for the brothers and sisters of the Wu family. The second wife not only felt that Dou Zhao was arrogant.And she felt that she had face, she said with a smile on her face, "Our birthday girl, who doesn't eat alone, is a good boy; our brother Zhi, who knows how to study hard at a young age, is also a good boy." Saying that, hugged Wu Ya, "Our sister Ya. She is well-behaved and obedient, and she is also a good child."

Everyone laughed.

Sister Yi was very dissatisfied, she pouted and said, "What about me? What about me?"

"Oh, I forgot about our sister Yi," the second wife said with a smile, "Our sister Yi is also a good child." She said.As if remembering something, he said to Dou Ming, "Our sister Ming is also a good boy!"

Sister Yi covered her mouth and smiled, looking very satisfied.

Dou Ming laughed along with Sister Yi.

Wang Yingxue, who was left out in the cold, felt sore and distressed.

There are so many children around Mrs. Ertai, some are well-born, some are smart, and some are beneficial. Her sister Ming is only three years old, and Dong Dou has never paid attention to Xi Dou. What can I ask for from my lady's side?

She was preoccupied with how to bring the child to her side.

The second wife wanted to teach Wang Yingxue a lesson, so she arranged for capable mothers-in-law and maids to take care of Dou Ming, and even specially found a few children who were about Dou Ming's age from among the servants to play with her.

A child is a child, and within a few days, he stopped clamoring for his wet nurse.

On New Year's Eve, people from Dou's family went back to the North Tower to worship their ancestors. Wang Yingxue, who was with the third wife, took a chance to find Dou Ming.

Dou Mingzheng and Sister Yi were standing in front of the stove, waiting for the freshly brewed maltose.

Hearing someone call "Sister Ming", the children all turned their heads, and Sister Yi asked, "Who is this?"

Dou Ming hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly said: "She is my aunt..."

Sister Yi immediately took Dou Ming's hand and said: "It's just an aunt, why bother with her? If we walk away, we won't be able to grab the maltose."

Dou Ming was still a little hesitant, and Sister Yi was upset: "Well, you go! Don't play with me again after you leave." Hearing this, Dou Ming hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll grab it with you maltose."

Sister Yi smiled happily: "Later, I will go with you to find Shougu to play. There are a lot of candies at Aunt Six's place."

Dou Ming was drooling when he heard that, he turned his head and said to Wang Yingxue, "Auntie, I will play with you later."

Wang Yingxue couldn't help but shed tears.

When Pangzi came to pay her New Year's greetings, she couldn't help complaining to Pangzi.

Pang didn't take it seriously, and said: "What qualifications do you have to challenge the Dou family now? They want to raise sister Ming, so you can let them take care of it. Just take this opportunity to raise your body and find a way to have a son. " He said again, "Qiye should be back, right?"

Wang Yingxue blushed slightly, and said shyly, "It's still early!"

But he listened to Pang's words, quietly invited a doctor, and began to take care of his body.

In April, news came from the capital that Dou Shiying had won No. 6 in the second class and was selected as a good scholar.
