Ninefold Purple

After Pang Jixiu's incident happened, his father's eyes shifted to the inner house, and he began to ask about some trivial matters at home.It's a pity that Dou Zhao is in charge of the family, and Wang Yingxue is taking care of it. He asked many times but couldn't find anything that could help him. Disappointed, he began to put all his energy on the repair of Dongkuayuan. The construction that should have been completed in early summer dragged on until mid-summer, which caused Dou Qijun to run to the west mansion when he had nothing to do, squatting in the shade with his father to discuss what pictures to draw on the beams and what stone carvings to stand in front of the door. It's so hot, it's not a joy.

Wang Yingxue couldn't help muttering: "Father said that there are still vacancies in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment. He has already written to his friends who work in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment... Time waits for no one. Would you please call my father?"

Dou Shiying didn't take it seriously. While drinking iced mung bean soup and looking at the drawings, he said absently: "Whether you go to the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of Punishment, you have to go through the Ministry of Officials. You can leave this matter alone, I have my own ideas."

Relying on the father-in-law is a soft meal in the eyes of others; relying on the clan brother, that's what it should be.

No matter how hard Wang Yingxue was, even Dou Zhao thought that his father had already discussed it with his fifth uncle, so he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he listened with great interest to his father and Dou Qijun discussing how to borrow scenery and how to build rockeries, as if he wanted to cross the courtyard. It looks like a garden in the south of the Yangtze River. [

Gao Sheng came to Dou Zhao: "In just five months, I spent 6 taels of silver."

Dou Zhao asked him: "Is the family struggling because of this?"

"That's not enough." Gao Sheng whispered, "It's too fast, and the income from last year is gone."

"Come and tell me after he has spent all of his savings from Xi Dou." Dou Zhao said indifferently. "You've got to let him do something, don't you?"

Gao Sheng smiled wryly.

Dou Zhao looked at Dou Qijun who was shoulder to shoulder with his father in the yard, and suddenly his eyes became sour.

It has been nine years since my mother passed away, and my father has been alone for nine years.

Adopted sons do not teach their fathers, adopted daughters do not teach their mothers.If there is a son.Will my father act more prudently?

The thought flashed, and Dou Xiao's spirited appearance appeared in her mind, and she was suddenly bored.Decided to leave it alone.

Unexpectedly, at the end of June, Uncle Fifth came with a letter, asking why his father didn't go to Beijing to wait for the vacancy, and said that his grandfather had passed away, and his father should support Zhimen.There is so much icing on the cake in this world.There are few people who send charcoal in the snow.The members of the Dou family should hug each other tightly, and my father should not give up ten years of hardships.Then he secretly asked about his father's heirs, saying that if Wang Yingxue was sterile, he could ask Aunt Fifth to take care of her.Give the father a concubine with a clean background, so that when the son becomes an official, the father can return to his hometown to be an old man with peace of mind.

My father was in a cold sweat from shock, and wrote back to Uncle Fifth overnight, saying that he would not bother about taking concubines, but did not mention the matter of waiting for vacancies.

Only then did Dou Zhao realize that it was entirely his own idea that his father did not go to Kyoto to wait for the lack.

She deliberately blocked her father: "If you are worried about your wife and Dou Ming, you can take them to the capital together. I happened to pick up Aunt Cui. Let her old man enjoy a few days of happiness."

My father actually thought about it seriously: "What you said makes sense. Why don't we go to the capital together and leave all the family affairs to Aunt Cui to take care of it."

Drinking water from the same well with Wang Yingxue in the same house for three years is already Dou Zhao's limit, let her continue to mess with Wang Yingxue, don't even think about it?

"I'm going to the capital, I'm afraid the Pang family will have an excuse to walk around our house, right?"

Dou Shiying was dumbfounded.

Dou Zhao took the opportunity to ask about the concubine's room: "...you should have someone by your side to take care of your daily life."

as a father.How can Dou Shiying discuss this issue with her daughter. [

He blushed and scolded Dou Zhao: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you this?"

"Didn't Uncle Fifth write it in the letter?" Dou Zhao said calmly and generously, "Xidou can't live without a son, right?"

His father was able to be alone for his mother for nine years, no matter how much resentment he had, Dou Zhao was gone.

Dou Shiying said blushingly: "You have seen it too, how can I have time to stare at the inner house every day? If another person is allowed in, wouldn't it be a waste of others? Besides, even if the eldest son is born, who will educate him? You see clearly Sister, what has become of it!"

Dou Zhao is silent.

At the end of April, the concubine and aristocrats dispersed, and the sixth uncle, Dou Shiheng, went to the Department of Pedestrians and became a close minister of the emperor.The second wife was very happy. During the Dragon Boat Festival, she subsidized the county government to run a lantern market, and invited all the respectable people from Zhending County to their home to listen to the opera.Dou Shiying, as the second-ranked Jinshi of the Dou family, naturally cannot do without him.

He took his family to Dongdou.

For some reason, Dou Ming fought with the seven-year-old Eighth Miss of Lang's family, and even pulled a strand of her eighth Miss's hair... Afterwards, no matter how Dou Shiying asked Dou Ming, Dou Ming's mouth was tightly pursed, like The clam shell was closed tightly without saying a word, and the eighth miss of the Lang family only knew how to cry. Dou Shiying had no choice but to come to the door to apologize in person. To this day, I still haven't figured out why Dou Ming fought with the eighth miss of the Lang family.

Dou Zhao felt that Wang Yingxue should know.

Not only Wang Yingxue knew, but most of Dongdou's female relatives probably knew too.

The fifth young lady of the Zhu family finally married the fifteenth master of the Lang family.

Dou Ming and the eighth miss of the Lang family got into an argument without saying a word, and the eighth miss of the Lang family jumped up and called Dou Zhao "raised by a little mother"...

Dou Shiying couldn't help regretting this: "If I knew you were so sensible, I should have entrusted you to take care of your sister. Now it's too late. You are already 12 years old this year, and you will be married in two or three years..."

Dou Zhao broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it, thinking that it would be inconvenient for him not to have a male in his family, he smiled and said, "If you add a younger brother to me now, I will bring it for you, and my younger sister can't count on me."

Dou Shiying smiled embarrassingly.

Dou Qijun came to find his father.

Dou Zhaoqi said: "Hey, why don't you see Brother Eleven and Brother Twelve?"

Dou Qijun chuckled, and said: "They are all going to end next year, and they are all hanging at home!"

Dou Zhao giggled.

Dou Qijun and his father went to Dongkuayuan.

Wang Yingxue received a letter from her mother Xu, saying that she wanted to see Dou Ming for several years, and she missed her very much.According to Dou Ming, I want to live with my waijia in Kyoto for a few days.

She went to her father to discuss it. [

Dou Qijun ran to the study to talk to Dou Zhao.

"We're going to visit Pang's house in a few days." He said, winking at Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao was stunned, and hurriedly said, "What are you going to do?"

Dou Qijun laughed haha ​​and said, "Guess?"

When anxious.Dou Zhao hates guessing, and without thinking about it, he said directly: "I can't guess."

Dou Qijun was a little disappointed.Said: "Pang Jixiu is getting married."

Dou Qi was taken aback.

Dou Qijun smiled slyly: "Didn't Pang Jixiu want to find a wife? The few of us felt that this kind of thing was too weak to rely on our own efforts, so we mobilized our brothers and sisters in the family to find one for Pang Jixiu. No, they immediately fell in love with Pang Jixiu , the Najina levy will be completed in less than three months..."

Dou Zhao knew there was a story in it as soon as he heard it, and laughed quickly: "Tell me quickly, or there will be no iced mung bean water to drink next time!"

Seeing people around, Dou Qijun laughed narrowly and said in a low voice: "Chen Butou's family in Lingbi County. They have been Xu for generations, with five sons and one daughter. They are all tall and round. They have practiced martial arts with Chen Butou since childhood. Don't get close. Mrs. Chen is over [-] years old and hasn't said anything about marriage. I never thought that Pang Jixiu would secretly touch Mrs. Chen's hand when he went to buy things in a roasted goods store opened by someone else. Not only did he let him touch his eyes, but he also invited a matchmaker to go to Pang's house in advance. He also said that he would rather marry Pang Jixiu than marry a wretch for the rest of his life... Isn't their Pang family a bad guy? But the Chen family is not It's a poppier, with black and white feet. The Chen family has already spoken. Pang Jixiu is fine if he doesn't marry, but he can take off his hands and let the Chen family accompany him. Let's forget about it..."

Dou Zhao couldn't help laughing, and asked Dou Qijun, "Who touched Chen?"

"Of course it's Brother Kou." Dou Qijun said righteously, "No wonder we still ruin the reputation of the Chen family?"

Brother Kou is the eldest son of his seventh cousin, Dou Fanchang, who is only five years old this year.

Dou Zhao couldn't help but laugh.

Knowing that the Chen family took the opportunity to rely on Pang Jixiu.

She asked Dou Qijun: "Who are 'you'?"

Dou Qijun looked left and right.Just don't say it.

Dou Zhao didn't ask any further questions, thinking of the embarrassment of his family, he felt that this marriage was quite suitable.

During dinner, she told Dou Shiying.

Both Dou Shiying and Wang Yingxue were a little surprised.

"At that time, we have to follow the ceremony." Dou Shiying said.

Dou Zhao smiled and nodded.

Dou Ming, who had been sitting by the side without saying a word, suddenly asked Dou Shiying loudly: "When are we going to Kyoto?"

Dou Shiying frowned slightly, and said softly, "Don't talk while eating."

Dou Ming suddenly became excited, threw the chopsticks to the ground with a "bang", and shouted loudly: "I'm going to my grandmother's house in Kyoto, I don't want to live here, I don't want to stay in Zhending..." She said, tears Plopping down.

Wang Yingxue on the side turned her face away, her eyes were also full of tears.

Dou Shiying was trembling with anger, and for the first time sternly faced Dou Ming: "Don't forget, your surname is Dou, not Wang! This is your home, if you don't stay in your own home, where do you want to go?

Wang Yingxue hesitated to speak.

Dou Ming took the bowl away and ran away.

Dou Shiying looked at Wang Yingxue coldly, and said: "From tomorrow on, let her learn the rules from the second wife. She also fights with others. Our Dou family has never had such a young lady! If you don't get rid of these rough problems, Not allowed to go anywhere?"

Wang Yingxue's face suddenly changed, and he said: "Master Qi is too unreasonable. My mother just wanted to stay with Ming for a few days. Master Qi said that, as if our Wang family was going to compete with the Dou family for their daughter. ...Father has taken care of everything for you, you just don't care about it, our Wang family is sorry for you, you want to show me and sister Ming like this..." As he spoke, he looked at it with resentment and hatred Dou Shiying glanced, turned and left the hall.

Only Dou Shiying and Dou Zhao were left in the hall.

Dou Shiying sat slumped on the teacher's chair.

Dou Zhao was upright, and continued eating gracefully, as if nothing had happened.
