Ninefold Purple

On the third day of the small funeral, the Dou family reported the funeral to relatives and friends. For a while, the Dou family was full of voices, and there was an endless stream of people who came to worship.

Dou Shiying, Wang Yingxue, Dou Zhao, and Dou Ming thanked the deceased as filial sons, filial daughter-in-laws, and filial grandsons, and all family affairs were handed over to Gao Sheng.

Those who waited for the tea, those who waited for the guests, those who managed the filial piety account, and even those who beat the board to hold the incense paper all went to him to show him. He has never experienced such a thing, but he has grown up with Dou Shiying in Kyoto in the past few years. He has gained some knowledge, and he is careful in doing things. He is more stable and reliable than other people in Xi Dou.

Dou Zhao gave him some pointers from time to time, and he figured out the way within a few days, and he acted more and more safely. Some old managers in Dongdou praised him for being "very useful" after seeing him, and Gao Sheng was relieved. When he looked at Dou Zhao again, he couldn't help seeing something strange in his eyes.

This is exactly Dou Zhao's plan. [

Three years of filial piety, she must live in Xidou, she needs a strong arm.

Two days later, Wang Zhibing and Pang Yulou came to express their condolences.

Uncle and sister-in-law, this combination is very strange.

Wang Zhibing explained: "Brother Nan's mother is pregnant, because it's the first few months, and she's a little too old, so she can't bear to run around. It happens that the siblings haven't seen the younger sister for a while, and Brother Tan is thinking about it again. Cousin, I will bring them over to burn incense for the old man."

Wang Tan, the eldest son of Pang Yulou, is one year younger than Dou Ming.

Or the two had a good time in Liuye Hutong in Kyoto. As soon as Wang Tan entered the house, he held Dou Ming's hand and called "Sister Ming": "When are you going home? No one is with me." I play."

Dou Mingdao: "I want to keep a filial piety for my grandfather, and I will go to the capital to see you after I finish my filial piety."

Wang Tan said: "Then finish your filial piety quickly. Then I will ask my father to lead us to Daxiangguo Temple to eat mutton noodles."

Dou Ming kept nodding his head.

Pang Yulou nodded at his son, pointed at Dou Zhao and called, "Hurry up and call you cousin!"

Wang Tan looks like a member of the Pang family, with fair skin and big watery eyes.Even more beautiful and delicate than the girl's house.

He sweetly called Dou Zhao "sister".

Dou Zhao still remembers the last time when he bumped into him beside the roses and knelt at Dou Ming's feet, begging Dou Ming bitterly: "Good sister, big brother only cares about his cousin Gao Mingzhu, even if he marries you, he won't be right." Hello. I am different. I have liked you since I was a child. If you marry me, I will treat you well for the rest of my life. I will help you whatever you want..."

It's a pity that Dou Ming's eyes are soft and lingering like spring water, as if they can drown people to death.The look in Wang Tan's eyes reveals calculations.

She smiled coquettishly: "Then I want you to say that you want to marry Gao Mingzhu in front of your grandmother, do you dare?"

Wang Tan said.

People in the Wang family only thought that Gao Mingzhu was ambiguous between Wang Nan and Wang Tan brothers, and that she could be the wife of the Wang family again.

Gao would rather reconcile than let Dou Ming be her daughter-in-law.

Wang Nan never said a word to Dou Ming again...[

When Dou Zhao saw Wang Tan again, his heart was full of pity for him.

She smiled faintly at Wang Tan.

Pang Yulou put his son in front of Dou Zhao: "You cousins, you should get closer and closer!"

Dou Zhao didn't make a sound.

But Dou Ming ran over and pulled Wang Tan: "Let's go play with Sister Yi and Sister Shu."

Wang Tan replied "Yes" with a grin.

Pang Yulou glared at his son.Said: "You stay here well."

Wang Tan didn't dare to move, and looked at Dou Ming pitifully.

Dou Ming cried: "I want to play with Brother Tan, I want to play with Brother Tan!"

Dou Shiying frowned.

Wang Yingxue gave Pang Yulou an unhappy look, and coaxed Wang Tan and Dou Ming: "Okay, okay, don't cry, Sister Yi and Sister Shu are in the flower hall, go and play with them!"

Wang Tan and Dou Ming went to the flower hall hand in hand.

Pang Yulou sighed secretly in his heart, smiled and said to Dou Shiying: "My natal nephews Pang Xiu and Kun are also here. I want to come in and say hello to my aunt."

When Dou Duo passed away, Pang Yulou's three elder brothers all came to express their condolences in person, but they didn't know that her natal nephew followed.

The visitor is the guest.

Dou Shiying did not refuse.

Pang Jixiu is the son of Pang Jinlou, 15 years old this year, and Pang Kunbai is the son of Pang Yinlou, 12 years old this year.Both children are handsome and talented.He is polite and courteous, if one's eyes are not too erratic, and the other's eyes are too shrewd, he would look like a handsome young man.

Pang Yulou had two people to introduce Dou Zhao: "This is your first cousin."

The two saluted Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao nodded indifferently, but did not return the salute, appearing a little arrogant.

Dou Shiying didn't expect Pang Yulou's two nephews to be so old. Seeing Pang Yulou's behavior like this, he was unhappy, so naturally he would not feel that Dou Zhao was disappointed.

He coldly exchanged greetings with Pang Jixiu and Pang Kunbai, and then took Dou Zhao to the mourning hall. [

Wang Yingxue pulled Pang Yulou to the side room and said in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Pang Yulou looked helpless: "You also know that my natal brothers are still doing business in Lingbi County, and they want to join the Dou family. I heard that Miss Fourth is about the same age as Brother Xiu and Brother Kun. It has the meaning of seeking a phoenix. I also know that Brother Xiu and Brother Kun are not good enough for Miss Fourth, but no matter what I say, they don't believe it, and instead blame me for being a hindrance. I have no choice but to put the two My nephew brought me here to see if I can win my uncle's favor." He said again, "However, let me think about it carefully, if Miss Fourth marries into the Pang family, it will be good for you too. My sister-in-law will become her mother-in-law, so I will Became her aunt, she must not be disobedient to her elders!"

"Did you forget that the Wang family cannot meddle in Dou Zhao's marriage!"...

"It's the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker." Pang Yulou disagreed, "Didn't we directly engage Miss Fourth?"

Wang Yingxue's heart skipped a beat: "You mean?"

"What if Miss Si falls in love with herself?" Pang Yulou covered her mouth and smiled, "The Zhao family didn't say that Miss Si couldn't marry the Pang family!"

Then what's so good about Dou Zhao, the second sister-in-law wants to marry her into Pang's family with all her efforts...

Thoughts flashed by.Wang Yingxue thought of Dou Zhao's dowry.

Her expression immediately became a little unclear.

If Dou Zhao married into the Pang family, the property would belong to the Pang family.

Although Mrs. Ertai issued a sealing order, these people who experienced it back then knew it clearly.

When Wang Yingxue looked at Pang Yulou again, she became a little more vigilant.

She is really scheming!

Wang Yingxue thought.Dou Shiying was talking to the person who came to offer condolences from Wu's family: "...the departure was so sudden that no one expected...the Imperial Academy, I reported Ding You. I just happened to be reading some books at home..."

Wu Shan, who was by his uncle's side, quietly handed Dou Zhao a purse: "Your condolences!"

But what does this have to do with purses?

She looked at Wu Shan puzzled.

Taking advantage of the adults not paying attention, Wu Shan said in a low voice, "I asked for the peace talisman at Dafang Temple." His voice was hurried, and his ears were red.

Dou Zhao was taken aback for a moment, smiled and said "Thank you", with sincere and sincere words.

Wu Shan squinted his eyes and smiled, his ears became redder even more, and then he stood beside Uncle Wu's family with his eyes and nose and his heart watching.He never looked at Dou Zhao again.

Dou Zhao faintly felt Wu Shan's feelings for her, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

※※※※※

After July [-]th, my grandfather was buried in the Dou family's ancestral grave in the north building, and the guests in the family gradually dispersed.

Pang Yulou discussed with Wang Yingxue: "Can Brother Xiu and Brother Kun study in the family study of the Dou family?"

Wang Yingxue didn't like Pang Yulou's greed, and didn't want to take this as a favor.She was also afraid that she would ask Ponzi for something in the future, so she didn't want to turn against Pangzi. She put this matter on Dou Shiying. On the uncle: "...the third master has always been in charge, and I don't know what the requirements are for studying in the ethnology. You might as well ask the third master."

The two agreed very reluctantly.

Pang Yulou had heard worse words than this, so he didn't take it to heart.He brought the eight-color gift box and found Dou Shiheng in person.

Dou's family studies are well-known in Zhending Prefecture, and children of relatives and friends often come to Dou's family to study.

Dou Shibang agreed without saying a word.

In this way, Pang Jixiu and Pang Kunbai entered the Dou clan study, and soon got to know Dou Zhengchang, Dou Dechang, Dou Qijun and others, and occasionally tried to follow them back to Dongfu for dinner, but they never met Dou Zhao.

Pang Kunbai couldn't help complaining to his father: "It's useless at all."

Pang Yinlou slapped his son: "Your father, I have been in business for more than ten years. I have only earned two to thirty thousand taels of silver. It is such a large sum of money that you can think of it without any effort. Something cheap?" Then he taught him a lesson, "You can fight me, the Dou family's money is not only stared at by your uncle, but also your aunt has her own little abacus, don't let that boy Wang Tan get it cheap, you cry I can't even cry."

"Really?" Pang Kunbai was very surprised, "Wang Tan is four years younger than Miss Dou's Fourth Miss?"

"What's wrong with being four years younger?" Pang Jinlou said, "Pang Jixiu is six years older than Miss Fourth!"

Pang Kunbai closed his mouth.

Pang Jixiu was more calm than Pang Kunbai. After he took a lot of money to ask someone to investigate Dou Zhao but failed, he not only read and wrote seriously with Mrs. Du, who was taught by the Dou Clan, but also tried his best to befriend the people in the Dou Clan School.

Dou Junqi and others were used to being flattered and flattered, and they took these things to heart, but Pang Jixiu found out from Dou Junqi's entourage that Dou Zhao would live in the farm for a few days every summer.

In the summer of the second year, he made preparations early. As soon as he heard that Dou Zhao was leaving for the farm, he invited Dou Zhengchang and others to play in the countryside.

None of Dou Zhengchang was willing to go: "I'm dying in the sun, what fun is there in the countryside?" When he said this, Dou Dechang was holding a bowl of iced sour plum soup.

Pang Jixiu also felt that there was nothing interesting, so he said, "Can we go down the river to fish?"

"It's not the same when I'm fishing by the pond." Dou Zhengchang said lazily.

Wu Shan came over.

Dou Zhengchang led them, and wondered: "I thought you would come for the Dragon Boat Festival, but you didn't come for the Dragon Boat Festival, but you came here in such a hot day. Is there anything important?"
