Ninefold Purple

Dou Zhao wanted to hint to his mother a few words, but he felt a headache when he thought that there were still a room full of untreated maids and daughters-in-law in the wing.

She crawled up, sat on the bed and called "Daddy" loudly.

If the mother is smart enough, she should have an idea and carry her to the father.

If the grandfather blamed her, as long as he put the responsibility on her, wouldn't the grandfather still care about an ignorant child?

However, she obviously overestimated her mother's wisdom and her own influence. [

Seeing her making a fuss, the mother frowned unhappily: "It's so late, why is the child still not sleeping?" Then she told Madam Yu: "Put my sister down! She makes me have a headache."

Nanny Yu smiled at her mother apologetically, and helped her dress quickly: "Miss Si, be good, Nanny Yu will take you to find a wet nurse! Don't cry..."

Dou Zhao really wanted to follow the example of those farm women who rolled their eyes at their mother to express their disdain.

Why is mother so childish?

If she was like her mother, she would have been eaten to death.

Dou Zhao hugged the curtain hanging beside the bed, cried and called for "Daddy", but was finally carried by Madam Yu to the Nuan Pavilion behind the inner room.

Without her mother, Dou Zhao also calmed down, and Aunt Yu put her on the kang listlessly.

Nanny Yu helped her straighten her messy hair silently, looked at Dou Zhao in a daze, and said in a low voice, "Do you also feel that what happened today is a bit unusual? I'm going to take a sneak peek. Don't make any noise here, okay?"

Dou Zhao suddenly recovered.

It's true that you don't show your face!

It can't be seen that Madam Yu is so shrewd and capable.

Her eyes were wide open, and she nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Nanny Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled kindly, and said with some emotion: "Our Fourth Miss is really smart. She knows everything by heart at such a young age. Unlike Grandma Seven..." At this point, she suddenly After a pause, he said to himself, "I'm talking about this with a child..." Then he turned around and called a maid to come in: "Hanxiao, you stay here with Fourth Miss, I'll go to Heshoutang to have a look."

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, Hanxiao has a well-rounded appearance, with a gentle and stable appearance.

She was surprised when she heard Madam Yu's words, but she quickly answered "Yes" with a serious face, and said very cleverly: "If there is anything, I will ask Shuangzhi to call you immediately."

Nanny Yu nodded in satisfaction, and quickly walked out of the Nuan Pavilion.

Hanxiao and Dou Zhao got on the hot kang, and seeing that Dou Zhao neither cried nor made noises, and was as quiet as an adult, she smiled slightly and asked Dou Zhao softly, "Miss Si, how about I pat you while you sleep?"

Dou Zhao shook his head.

The smiling smile became more and more intense, and said: "Then how about I accompany you to turn the rope?"

Does she like to flip rope?

Dou Zhao shook his head.

He smiled and said, "Then what do you want to do?"

"Wait...mom." Dou Zhao said.

Looking at Dou Zhao with a smile in surprise.

Dou Zhao ignored her, pulled a big pillow over, and leaned on it in a daze.

Smiling, he helped Dou Zhao put up a thin quilt.

She felt something strange from her father's attitude towards her mother. Where did Madam Yu see something was wrong?

What else did she not know?

Dou Zhao pondered, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

No, I have to wait until Nanny Yu comes back.

She needs to know what happened!

And Tuo Niang, what kind of person is she?

Dou Zhao shook his head and forcibly separated the upper and lower eyelids.

But after a few breaths, the eyelids drooped again on their own initiative.

can not sleep!

Asleep, maybe she will go back again.

What if she returned to the dream of the wisteria flower?

"Smiling," Dou Zhao opened his eyes vigorously, "Nurse, look for it!"

"No!" Hanxiao waved his hand lightly, "I want to stay here with you."

"I, be obedient!" Dou Zhao said.

After thinking for a while with a smile, seeing Dou Zhao's expression becoming more and more determined, he hesitated and said, "Okay, let me go and see what Nanny Yu is doing?" Then he called Shuangzhi in. [

Shuangzhi is a little girl with a round face, and she accompanies Dou Zhao quietly.

After a while, she returned with a smile: "Miss Fourth, Nanny Yu and Madam went to the old man's place."

"Oh!" Dou Zhao told Hanxiao to go to Nanny Yu.

Han Xiao said no matter what, he didn't agree: "...if it is discovered, the slaves will peel off their skins even if they don't die."

This is true.

Dou Zhao is in charge of the house, so he knows how powerful it is.

She could only wait for Nanny Yu and her mother to come back, hating why she was tied up, instead of doing whatever she wanted like in another dream with wisteria flowers.

Time passed little by little, and there was still no shadow of mother and Nanny Yu, and Dou Zhao's eyelids were stuck together, and they could never be separated.

She fell into a sweet sleep.

It seemed only for a moment, and it seemed like thousands of years, Dou Zhao woke up.

Without thinking, she jumped up.

Someone shouted "Miss Four" nearby.

Dou Zhao opened his eyes and saw Shuangzhi's smiling round face.

She breathed a long sigh of relief.

Still in a dream.

She suddenly felt at ease, and asked Shuangzhi: "Smiling? Nurse? Mother?"

"Hanxiao was called away by Nanny Yu." Shuangzhi smiled and helped Dou Zhao get dressed, and asked the little maid to pour hot water in.

The warm pavilion became lively.

Only then did Dou Zhao realize that it was already bright.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked Shuangzhi: "Hanxiao, where are you?"

Shuangzhi smiled and said, "It's at the old man's place." As he said that, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the noren curtain was pulled up, and someone was looking inside.

Her face sank, and she shouted in a low voice: "Who is sneaking around outside the noren curtain?"

Immediately a little maid went to lift the noren curtain.

The people behind the warm curtain were hiding, wringing their fingers uneasily: "I, I'm looking for Fourth Miss..." Then he bluffed loudly, "It was Fourth Miss who asked me to find someone for her..."

Dou Zhaoxun looked over and saw Xiangcao.

Her heart moved slightly, and she shouted "Vanilla" loudly.

Shuangzhi and the little maid were puzzled, but they still put vanilla in.

Vanilla triumphantly raised her chin towards Shuangzhi and the little maid, ran up to Dou Zhao in a dog-legged manner, and said in a low voice: "Miss Si, I found the mother you mentioned." After she finished speaking, she paused slightly, His eyes looked at her with some expectation.

Dou Zhao smiled slightly.

In Jining Marquis Mansion, she saw many maids like this.

In order to get ahead, as long as they can see a glimmer of hope, they will try their best to catch it.

She doesn't dislike such people and such practices.

If everyone is content with the status quo, what is the purpose of life?

It's just that Vanilla's actions are too impetuous, pinning her hopes on a child who is not yet sensible, and lacking in assessing the situation and foresight.But she still has vanilla to thank.Otherwise, how could she have news of her mother?

Dou Zhao said to Shuangzhi: "Reward, Xiangcao!"

Shuangzhi couldn't make up his mind.

As the host, Fourth Miss is too...younger!

Do you want to ask Grandma Seven to show you first?

She was thinking about it, and saw that Xiangcao's eyes lit up, she had bowed her knees to thank Dou Zhao, and then leaned in front of Dou Zhao and chirped: "Tuo Niang is the little maid in the washing room in the backyard, picked up by Grandma Seven when she went to Daci Temple to offer incense. When I came back, I found her after asking all the people in the house. What do you want her for? Do you want me to call her for you? She is very talkative. In the laundry room, there is a rush to do dirty and tiring work. The sisters-in-law in the laundry room liked her very much. As soon as I inquired, they took me to find Tuo Niang..."

Dou Zhao suddenly realized.

Those who can work beside the mother or her are all respectable servants of the Dou Mansion, so how can they know the maid who is the rough envoy of the laundry room?On the contrary, as the rough envoy of the Dou Mansion, Tuo Niang did not participate in what happened back then, but she just heard about it afterwards.This also explains why Tuo Niang's words do not match the facts...

Her eyelids twitched.

fact!

Could it be that from the bottom of her heart, she thought that everything that happened in front of her eyes was real?

Where is she then?

Some thoughts that had been ignored by her earlier re-rotated in her mind, making Dou Zhao's heart skip a beat and chills all over his body.

A little maid rushed in.

"Sister Shuangzhi, something is wrong." She looked flustered, as if she was facing an enemy, "He Shoutang, there is a commotion!"

Dou Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

Shuangzhi hastily said: "What happened?"

"Qi Ye was fascinated by a woman when he was in the capital." She turned pale, "I want to bring that woman in, and I even invited the third master of the East Mansion to talk about it. The old man was so angry that he drew his sword to kill Qi Grandpa!"

"Ah!" There was a mess in the room, "What happened then?"

"It's a good thing that the third master didn't leave and stopped the old man." The little maid said, "But the seventh master was determined to let that woman in. In winter, he knelt in the snow and begged the old man to agree. Finally, the seventh grandma found her. Go, Master Qi begged Grandma Seven. Grandma Qi was so angry that she not only refused to agree, but also cried and scolded Master Qi for being ungrateful, and even the old man couldn't get in the way. When the third master met, Dafu asked Dafu to quietly take the third grandma Please come here."

"No wonder sister Hanxiao disappeared after being called by Nanny Yu!"

"Is that woman prettier than Grandma Seven?"

"Did the old man allow that woman to come in?"

"Doesn't the family want more masters?"

The maids were chattering away, but no one paid attention to Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao sat there stupidly like a clay sculpture, more than shocked.

Ever since she presided over the middle support of the Jining Marquis Mansion and became the director of the family, she has been very confused. As the elder of the Dou family who is well respected by the children of the Dou family because of his good management of common affairs, how could the third uncle be separated from each other? Just go to the farm to visit the grandmother who was born in a concubine's room and has no intersection with the Dou family?

It turned out that he was going to visit her.

Tuoniang said that the mother was forced to hang herself.

As the third aunt who helped his father talk about things, he should be full of guilt towards her, so that's why?

Dou Zhao thought of the way the third uncle looked at her.

There is always a bit of pity in the kindness.

There is also the will left by the third uncle after his death, to leave all the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities from the previous dynasty in his collection to her.

At that time, the Dou family had not yet separated, and the third uncle had no private property. What was left to his own sons, Dou Fanchang and Dou Huachang, were only a few inkstones and jade.

She always thought it was because the third uncle liked her very much.

It can be seen that what people see is not necessarily the truth, what they hear is not necessarily the truth, and even what they feel is not necessarily the truth.

Dou Zhao said in a hoarse voice, "I want it, Mother Tuo!"
