Ninefold Purple

Chapter 56 Dragon Boat Festival

In the eighth year of Taiping, Dou Zhao was nine years old, and his sixth uncle, Dou Shiheng, was well-known in the apricot list, and won the 36th place in the second class. In September last year, the ninth cousin of the uncle's family, Dou Huanchang, won the Juren. This can be regarded as double happiness. The whole family Everyone was overjoyed, especially Mrs. Er Tai, two of her three sons were Jinshi, just in line with the saying that people are refreshed on happy occasions, Mrs. Er Tai decided to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.

Dou Zhao has been in the East Mansion for the past few years, and in the middle of summer, he used the excuse of summer to go to the farm to live with his grandmother for a few days.

Sister Yi from Wutang's sister-in-law's family came to Dou Zhao: "Do you think we should make some purses?"

On the Dragon Boat Festival, there is a custom of giving away mugwort leaves in purses.

"Just discuss it with Sister Shu." Dou Zhao said with a smile, "I always follow you." [

Since she is not from Dongdou, and she doesn't want to go back to Xidou, she regards herself as a sojourner in Dou's family, so she is polite to everyone, gentle and courteous to everyone, and has money to socialize with relatives and take care of servants , The Dou family talked about her up and down, without giving a thumbs up.

Sister Shu is the eldest daughter of Santang's sister-in-law's family, that is, Dou Qijun's younger sister. She is two months older than Sister Yi and two months younger than Dou Zhao.

Sister Yi said with emotion: "It would be great if Fifth Aunt was still here!"

The fifth aunt is Dou Ming.

After Wang Yingxue entered, the second wife still kept Dou Ming by her side.Dou Ming gradually distanced himself from Wang Yingxue.In the seventh year of Taiping, Wang Xingyi was still serving as governor of Shaanxi, but the Wang family moved to Kyoto.Wang Yingxue had no choice but to write to his mother, Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu sent someone to pick up Dou Ming and live in Kyoto on the pretext of missing her grandson.Grandpa agreed.The second wife absolutely has no reason to stay any longer.After doing the math, Dou Ming has already been in Kyoto for more than half a year.

Sister Yi has always been able to play with Dou Ming, but she thinks that Dou Zhao will please the adults, and she is not close to Dou Zhao.

The experience of the previous life told Dou Zhao.You can't please everyone, and if that's the case, you shouldn't please those who don't like you.

She smiled faintly: "Why don't you write a letter to Dou Ming. Let's see when she will reply."

Only sister Yi in the family discovered that Dou Zhao always used his first and last name when calling Dou Ming. She once mentioned it in front of Mrs. Er Tai in a half-joking and half-questioning manner. , others thought she was from the same generation as you."

But why can't I call my sister?

She wanted to ask, but her wet nurse pulled the skirt of her clothes.Then as soon as she got home, the wet nurse told her quietly: "Aunt Wang was raised by the concubine's room, and Miss Si is the concubine's daughter."

Sister Yi disagrees.

How is the concubine's life?

Isn't it Miss Dou's family?

But she was still very curious: "Why is it that only the seventh uncle's concubine gave birth to a child in our family?"

The nurse faltered and said: "That's because only the seventh uncle has no son."

She always felt that the wet nurse had something else to say to her.It's just that when Wu Ya came over, she happily ran to see Wu Ya, but forgot about it.

However, Wu Ya doesn't like playing with Dou Ming very much.She always said that Dou Ming was stupid and stupid.It's like the brain is missing a tendon.But she also doesn't like playing with Dou Zhao.She felt that Dou Zhao was arrogant and not easy to get along with: "...I have something good, and the sixth aunt immediately bought it for her, and she acted like a so-called so-called, and brought Miss Shu to ruin."

Sister Shu used to hold Wu Ya's dolls, target mirrors, and tooth combs and begged Wu Ya with her eyes wide open: "Play for me." Since she took Dou Zhao's things and did not return them, Dou Zhao did not want her to return them either. After that, Sister Shu only had Dou Zhao in her eyes, and she would only tell Dou Zhao if she had any personal words, and if there were any minor disputes between them.She must be on Dou Zhao's side. [

Wu Ya said: "Their family is quite strange. One lives in Dongdou and the other lives in her natal family. Her mother guards a huge house alone, and she doesn't go to the capital with her father...Anyway, I don't know the two sisters. like."

Dou Zhao could vaguely feel this.But she didn't take it to heart - when they grew up, they would think differently.

She went to the third cousin.

The eldest cousin, Zhao Biru, has already been there, and her aunt wrote to her, saying that the eldest cousin is scheduled to leave the court on August [-]th.

She wanted to send some congratulatory gifts to her eldest cousin.

The third cousin asked her with a smile: "What are you going to give?"

Dou Zhao owns half of Xi Dou's property, but every expenditure exceeding ten taels of silver requires the consent of the third cousin who helps her manage the property. For this reason, she is not used to it and is also very distressed, so she gave Zhao Liangbi to the third cousin.Seeing that his surname was "Zhao", the third cousin thought he was a relative of Dou Zhao's natal family, so he took extra care of Zhao Liangbi, and Zhao Liangbi was always a sensible and cherished person, so he stuck his head to learn from that tent, but only for a year With a little effort, you can make a good plan.

I don't know why Zhao Liangbi has the ability to take the position of account manager?

She thought about it, smiled and told the third cousin about her visit.

The third cousin pondered: "What do you think of the gold and silver jewelry we gave away? Most of the other things, my uncle and wife have already prepared them."

Dou Zhao nodded again and again, and entrusted his third cousin to handle the matter.

When I came out, I met Miss Shu.

She pulled Dou Zhao: "Second sister said to make five poison purses, I have a new look, do you want fourth aunt?"

In the previous life, she had a cold relationship with her cousins ​​and nieces, but in this life, Miss Shu always likes to follow her like a little tail.

"Okay!" Dou Zhao said with a smile, "I'll let Haitang come and fetch it from your big maid sometime."

Tuo Niang married Cui Si two years ago, and she just gave birth to a son a few days ago, not yet full moon.The affairs in her house were handed over to Haitang.

Sister Shu nodded and told her quietly: "Qiqi is here again."

Qiqi is Wu Ya's nickname.

Dou Zhao didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile, "The Dragon Boat Festival is almost over!"

Sister Shu sighed and said, "Will Fifth Aunt come back?"

She is a sweet girl who plays well with everyone around her.

"You miss her very much?" [

"Yeah!" She muttered, "We want to dance the Baisuo, but there is no one. Qiqi doesn't want to play with the maids."

Dou Zhao never played with them.

She smiled and said, "That's because there are many sisters of the same age in their family."

Sister Shu giggled.

Dou Zhao went back to the sixth aunt.

She is grown up now, so naturally she can no longer live in the green gauze closet in the inner room of the sixth aunt, four years ago.After she was picked up by her father from her grandmother's farm, she lived in the west wing of the main courtyard, while Dou Zhengchang and Dou Dechang lived in the east wing.

As soon as she stepped into the gate of the main courtyard, she heard a burst of laughter from the west wing.

Dou Zhao could not help but smile.

Now that Wu Ya is here.How could Wu Shan be missing?

Just like in the previous life, Wu Shan and Dou Dechang of the same age hit each other very well, and lived at Dou Dechang's place every time he came.Therefore, the relationship with Dou Zhengchang and Dou Qijun is very good.

It must be a few people bragging together!

She was about to enter the house when the opposite wing suddenly opened, and Wu Shan and Dou Dechang came out together.

"Fourth sister!" He greeted Dou Zhao, his ears were reddish.

Dou Zhao nodded politely at him: "Fourth Brother Wu is here."

She followed Dou Dechang's brother to address Wu Shan, and then greeted Dou Zhengchang and the others.

Wu Shan then asked Dou Zhao: "We are going out to buy a congratulatory gift for Uncle Liu, do you want us to bring you something?"

He was named Dou Shiheng along with the sons and nephews of the Dou family.

"Thank you," Dou Zhao said with a smile. "I've already prepared the sixth uncle's congratulatory gift."

It is a piece of Qingtian stone that she took away from her father in the past.

There is a monkey riding a horse carved in front of it, implying that he will be granted the title of Marquis immediately, and it just happens to be carved as a leisure seal for the sixth uncle.

Wu Shan smiled and said, "My sister is also here, talking to my cousin, did you meet her?"

Is not this nonsensical?

If she is also with the second cousin.How could the second cousin let her go?

Dou Zhao still smiled and replied: "Qiqi is here too, I haven't met her yet!"

Wu Shan said again: "Twelve said that your family will invite people to sing an opera on the Dragon Boat Festival, is it true?"

Dou Dechang is ranked twelve, everyone likes to call him twelve.

Dou Zhao smiled and said, "Since Brother Twelve said it, it must be true."

Wu Shandao: "It's a pity that I had already returned to Xindong at that time."

"There's always a chance to see it."

"I don't know when it is?" Wu Shan said eagerly, "I heard that Zhou Qingfen was invited to sing this time..."

Words are like the lotus root, which has been cut off, but he can connect it again and it becomes a situation where the root is broken.

Dou Zhao patiently listened to what he said, and smiled at him apologetically.Said: "Fourth brother Wu, hurry up and go! I'm going to Mrs. Tai's place right away."

Wu Shan's face turned red immediately, and he stuttered when he spoke: "Fourth sister, go back to the house quickly, we are going out too."

Dou Zhao entered the house.

Dou Zhengchang's puzzled voice came from behind: "Why do you always talk so much every time you meet Fourth Sister?"

Wu Shan yelled: "Didn't you say that I talk too little?"

"I mean every time you meet Miss Yi they always go 'humming haha'..."

"I'm an elder, so I have to look like an elder, right?"

"Okay, this time we'll let you spend your elder's money," said Dou Qijun. "This time we buy something and you pay the bill..."

"You are extorting..." Wu Shan smiled, his voice gradually faded away.

Dou Zhao smiled and shook his head, thinking it was very interesting.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the second wife really invited Zhou Qingfen to sing a big show.

The stage was set up in front of the ancestral hall in the north building of the Dou family, and the villagers with a radius of ten miles all came to listen to the opera with their families.

Dou Zhao followed the sixth aunt to drink tea with the second wife in the wing room next to the ancestral hall.

Wang Yingxue came in to say hello to the second wife, and she waved to Dou Zhao: "Shougu, was the chrysanthemum cake I asked Qiongfen to send last time delicious? It was a gift from the palace to my father, and sister Ming specially asked her to give it to her." Someone sent a box back, saying that he wanted my sister to taste it."

"It turned out to be a reward from the palace. No wonder the way I saw it looked very different from the ones on the market." Dou Zhao smiled and said, "I will be filial to Mrs. Tai." As he said, he looked towards Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai smiled and took Dou Zhao's hand: "It's still our sister Shou who has the heart."

Wang Yingxue's face turned red and then green, green and then red.

In the past few years, Dou Zhao handed over Wang Yingxue to the second lady to clean up, so she didn't bother to argue with Wang Yingxue.

A little servant girl ran in in a panic, and said in a lucid manner: "Madam, Madam, it's not good, the old man is not good..."
