Ninefold Purple

Chapter 75 Honesty

The teacher Dou Shiying hired for her daughter was named Jiang, named Li, and named Yougong. He was an old Juren over 15 years old. Elderly, frail and depleted of energy, he asked to resign and go back to his hometown. Dou Shiying persuaded him to stay in Dou's house for three years.

"... Dou Xiuzhuan said that she is a girl, and she doesn't care about what to study, as long as she knows some major principles." Jiang Yougong's words were polite, but his tone was full of arrogance. I have little knowledge, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet."

There are only three Beijing officials in the Dou family, so he has no choice but to be commensurate with his official position.

Dou Shibang thanked him repeatedly, invited Mrs. Du to accompany him, and personally arranged for Jiang Yougong to live in Xi Dou's outer study, allocated two servants, two maids, and two rough women to him, and invited Dou Shibang to stay with him. Zhao came out to salute Jiang You respectfully, set a date for the class, and then returned to Dongdou.

Mrs. Ertai asked her son: "How is this man?"

Dou Shibang smiled wryly: "It's better to be knowledgeable, but this temper... I don't know if I can keep it?"

The second wife frowned.

Dou Zhao was so angry that he wanted to curse.

Why can't my father just stay there? Why is this Jiang surnamed here to be her teacher?

He is obviously a person with a good ear, but he is still guarding against men and women. When he lectures, he has to put up a screen to separate himself from Dou Zhao, and he still talks about how he is in Hege's hometown at every turn.During the lecture, he didn’t care whether Dou Zhao could understand or not, he just sat there and talked, and left after he finished speaking, as if Dou Zhao was an elm lump, no matter how good he spoke, Dou Zhao couldn’t understand, No matter how bad it is, Dou Zhao doesn't know, and the lectures are very reluctant.And Dou Shiying also promised him that besides the clothes for all seasons, there is also Shuxiu of 100 taels of silver.

It's just to deceive her that she is a girl.

It happened that Dou Qijun was at home that day, and Jiang Yougong told Dou Zhao

Dou Zhao took a day off to meet Chen Qushui at the gate of the farm.

Chen Qushui was a little surprised that he didn't see the lord.

Dou Zhao pretended not to see it, and smiled and invited Chen Qushui to the study room that had been prepared.

Three green brick and tile houses, one bright and two dark.On the east side is the inner room, with a warm pavilion behind; on the west side is the study room, with a suite behind it.There is a crabapple and an apricot tree planted in front of the door, and a piece of bamboo is planted behind the house.Blue brick shop, Goryeo paper paste, black lacquer furniture, blue and white porcelain tea cups, and Song white porcelain flower pots with two big red hibiscus flowers, one high and one low, but there is a refreshing air blowing towards the face.

Chen Qushui's eyes lit up immediately.When I picked up the teacup, I saw that the tea soup was bright yellow in color and elegant in fragrance. When I drank it in my mouth, it tasted mellow and had a long aftertaste. It turned out to be Tieguanyin, which was just served this autumn. I felt joy on my eyebrows and praised it loudly. Say "good tea".

Dou Zhao smiled slightly.

Human addiction cannot be friends with it because of its deep affection; human flaws cannot be friends with it because of its true spirit.

Chen Qushui has had a rough half of his life, but he can still be moved by a scene or a cup of tea, which shows his true temperament.

She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, letting the sweet and fresh taste of Tieguanyin roll in her heart and lungs, before she smiled and said, "I don't know what your plan is in the future, sir?"

Chen Qushui raised his brows slightly, as if he was asking her intentions.

Dou Zhao didn't hide anything, and said frankly: "I have been in the orchid room for a long time and I don't smell its fragrance, and I have been in the abalone place for a long time and I don't smell its smell. Dongxiang Street is missing the owner of the other house. I am afraid that it is not the place where Mr. Chen has lived for a long time. I would like to invite you Mr. is staying in the farm, and you can ask the teacher anytime, I don't know what Mr. will do?"

Chen Qushui's eyes froze slightly.

Miss Dou Si's words have a deep meaning.

When he first arrived at Dongxiang Street, he was once blackmailed by idle gangs. If he hadn't been resolute, how could he have escaped unscathed!

Chen Qushui thought of Bie Gangyi, who was about to die, and the Bie sisters who were about to join Dou Zhao, and felt a little tempted.

He has already resigned to his fate, and now there is nothing else to ask for, only hope that he can live out the rest of his life peacefully and safely.

And he was still a little worried about the Bie sisters, hoping to repay Bie Gangyi for taking care of him all these years.

Chen Qushui pondered for a long time, and asked Dou Zhao seriously: "A woman is a virtue. I don't know why Miss Dou insists on asking Mr. Si Ting to give lectures on scriptures and history at home?"

Since there are some things to be entrusted to Chen Qushui, some things are better to be open and honest.

This is Dou Zhao's principle of employing people. [

"Mr. Chen must have inquired about me clearly." She pondered, "I used to be very sure that since Mrs. Wang was already a concubine and the Dou family was famous, no matter how it was, she would not be righted. I was wrong in the end. Zeng Yifen's recovery, Wang Xingyi's rise to power, Fifth Uncle's ambition, not only the Wang family was restored, but I also became a pawn in the contest between Wang and Dou." At this point.She picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.The voice also seemed a little sad, "I often think. When I was young, I struggled. Now that I have grown up, is it possible to continue to live the life of 'man for the knife and I for the fish'? And at most ten years. Wang and Dou will decide the outcome, so what will I do then?"

In the previous life, it took only nine years for Wang Xingyi and Dou Shishu to decide the winner.

This life.Although the situation has changed, who can guarantee that Dou Shishu can change history.What about being a winner?

In her previous life, she was just a worthless worthless person who was hated by Wang Yingxue. In this life, she owns half of Xi Dou's property...

Dou Zhao put down the teacup, the tea cover and the tea bowl collided lightly, and there was a crisp and pleasant sound of touching porcelain, which was particularly loud in the silent study room.

"In the past, I only knew that the Dou family treated me badly, and that the Wang family and I had a sworn feud, but I never thought about it carefully. How did things turn out like this?" She said in a clear voice, "Now I see It is clear that although the temple is far away, a small storm will turn into a stormy sea, and it will destroy me in an instant. I don't even know what it has to do with me, let alone how to avoid it..."

In the previous life, she didn't gradually understand the relationship between the temple and the inner house until she became Mrs. Hou.In this life, the grievances between the Wang and Dou families made me understand more deeply.Restricted by her identity as a woman in the boudoir, she is doomed to only understand what is happening outside through other people, which gave her the idea of ​​finding someone to replace her eyes to observe for her. Chen Qushui suspects that she can find it now The best candidate.

Chen Qushui was stunned, and said: "Take copper as a guide, you can straighten your clothes; take people as a guide, you can know gains and losses; take history as a guide, you can know success and failure..."

"No, no, no." Dou Zhao smiled, "I don't have that much ambition yet, I just want to keep what I have now, not to be peeped at, coveted, used, or betrayed , not to be manipulated by others... that's all."

Chen Qushui was puzzled, and said implicitly: "But what Miss Fourth has today, isn't it all given by the Dou family?"

"Mr. Chen may not know yet," Dou Zhao looked at Chen Qushui with a smile, "Before Wang's restoration, my uncle made the decision for me. Xi Dou transferred half of the property to my name as a dowry. Currently, the second wife of Dong Dou My third cousin will take care of it for me." She told Chen Qushui about the agreement between Zhao and Dou.

Beads of sweat dripped from Chen Qushui's forehead.

The place where he lives is Dongxianglou, the gathering place of the hooligans, but he has never heard of it.

What does this mean?

His eyes widened in horror.

Some people don't want this to get out.

No one knows about it, and who is it good for?

"Miss Dou Si," Chen Qushui claimed to be a calm person, and couldn't help wiping his forehead with his hand at this moment, "Your situation...is really...excellent..."

"It depends on how you look at it, how you think." Dou Zhao didn't think so, and smiled easily, "Fortunately, misfortune depends on it, and misfortune comes to good fortune. Sometimes good things can turn into bad things, and sometimes bad things can also turn into bad things." It will become a good thing. Hold that fortune in your hands and cultivate a group of people who can stand up to the task. We can watch the ship capsize from the Yellow Crane Tower. No matter whether the Wang family wins or the Dou family wins, they will probably do nothing. Can't you?" She smiled at Chen Qushui, "I don't want to ask Mr. Chen to be my teacher, it's better to ask Mr. Chen to be my teacher, to teach me how to avoid evil and seek good luck, and live a comfortable life. Happy little days."

If Dou Zhao was a boy, Chen Qushui agreed without hesitation.But Dou Zhao is a girl...

He hesitated and said, "I wonder if Fourth Miss Dou is engaged?"

Dou Zhao smiled and said, "I'm not ready to marry!"

Chen Qushui was stunned.

Dou Zhao smiled and said, "The Dou family is prosperous. I have eleven nephews, and there will be more and more in the future. Why should I marry?"

Married, she will have children, is a certain person's wife and mother, only her husband and son can rely on; if not married, she will always be a girl of the Dou family, can rely on everyone in the Dou family, choose more big!

"But..." Chen Qushui could not agree, "You can't be alone all your life, can you?"

She's married, she's had kids, that's all.

But Dou Zhao has no way to explain these things to people. She can only say: "So far, this is the best way, right? How can things in the world never change? Let's talk about it when we stand on our feet! Hold your head high Living is more important than being married."
