Ninefold Purple

In the summer of Daci Temple, the old trees are lush and the breeze is refreshing, but it is not as quiet and beautiful as the backyard of the Dou family. But for a lady like Dou Pinyi who goes out several times a year, it is fun everywhere. Fun everywhere.

She pulled Wu Ya to point to a fake stone not far away and said, "Look, does it look like a girl waiting to get dressed?"

Wu Ya glanced at it disinterestedly, and said: "That's the Lingbi stone, it's fine to use small pieces for decoration, but Taihu stones should be placed beside the bamboo forest!" Dou Zhao and Dou Pinshu in front of them.

The two were whispering to each other, Dou Pinshu was talking and Dou Zhao was listening. Occasionally when Dou Zhao answered her a few words, she would giggle like a seven or eight year old girl who didn't know much about the world. .

Really heartless! [

Wu Ya muttered in her heart.

Dou Pinyi was a little unhappy: "Wu Ya, what's the matter with you? You have been so straight all day long, and you have to reply coldly when you say anything. If you look down on a rural place like Daci Temple, you can just take care of it." Just say it, it’s frustrating not to have a good word like this!” Saying that, she shook off Wu Ya’s hand.

"Oh, I'm not angry with you." Wu Ya hastily pulled Dou Pinyi's hand as if to supplement, but it was hard to say that she was jealous of Dou Zhao, so she had to say, "I just think the weather is too hot, so I walk around like this , Sweating through the skirt of the clothes, very uncomfortable."

"It's okay!" Dou Pinyi looked at the lush branches and leaves above her head, "Why do I feel that it's much cooler here than at home."

"Maybe I'm too afraid of the heat!" Wu Ya perfunctorily changed the subject, "I'm in Kyoto. I met your Fifth Aunt."

"Really!" Dou Pinyi has always yearned for the capital. Since her father, Dou Guangchang, did not help the family with work and did not have a reputation, her chances of going to the capital are very slim.So when she heard that something happened in Kyoto, she immediately asked with great interest, "How is she?"

"When I was married in Hege's hometown, I went to have a wedding with my mother and met her." Wu Ya said. "She lives in her grandmother's house. She is about the same height as me. She has a beautiful voice and smiles. She plays well with the sisters of the He family. When she meets me, she greets me in a proper manner. .It looks pretty good."

Dou Pinyi was stunned: "Isn't my uncle's house in Jing'an Temple Hutong? Why does she live in her grandfather's house? Where is her mother? Didn't she live with her?"

"I heard that Mrs. Wang likes her very much," Wu Ya said, "I have to keep her by my side. Her mother looks a bit haggard, and she doesn't seem to be in a good mood." As she spoke, she and Dou Pinyi put their ear canals together. "I heard from a lady at the banquet that she couldn't bear a son, and she still wouldn't let your seventh uncle and grandfather take a concubine."

Dou Pinyi was taken aback.

Wu Ya hurriedly said: "You must not tell others."

"I know, I know." Dou Pinyi nodded repeatedly, "If my mother heard me say such a thing, she would beat me to death."

Wu Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

Dou Pinyi looked at Dou Zhao who was watching bamboo with Dou Pinshu in front of her, and hesitated for a while: "Seventh Aunt, do you think we should tell Fourth Aunt about this?"

"Tell her what?" Wu Ya hurriedly stopped, "What if she told your great-grandmother?"

Also.

Dou Pinyi nodded, and looked at Dou Zhao again.Just a little more sympathy and pity.

But Dou Zhao didn't pay attention, he chatted with Dou Pinshu along the way, and climbed up the small hill where an octagonal pavilion was built behind Dasici.

Dou Zhengchang and the others arrived early, and teenagers, eight or nine years old, were there tidying up stone tables and benches, or burning a small red clay stove, or fiddling with pens, inks, papers and inkstones.Go Shuanglu. [

Seeing Dou Zhao dragging Dou Pinshu into the gazebo, Wu Shan looked at Wu Ya and Dou Pinyi who were walking halfway supported by two rough women, smiled and handed over a blue sky glazed lotus leaf cup: "Try it , the old plum blossom snow water hosted by Daci Temple."

Dou Zhao refused to answer, and said with a smile: "You gave me a drink, what do you use to make tea?"

Wu Shan looked back at Dou Zhengchang and others who were talking together, blinked at her, and said in a low voice, "It's just a cup, they don't know."

Dou Zhao held back his laughter, but the lotus leaf cup was snatched away by Dou Pinshu who was beside him, and he said angrily: "You come and go, there is still a man with a hot mouth standing beside him!" After speaking, he gave the snow water to After drinking it, he let out a long breath and said, "It's so comfortable!"

Wu Shan and Dou Zhao looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

The laughter startled Dou Qijun, and he walked over quickly: "What are you laughing at?"

Wu Shan winked at Dou Pinshu, and said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, Miss Shu made a joke."

Dou Pinshu looked at the empty cup in his hand, and smiled at Dou Junqi.

Wu Ya and Dou Pinyi climbed up. Seeing the gentle smile on her brother's face, Wu Ya felt sour in her heart, and called out "brother" coquettishly: "I'm so tired!"

"That's why I told you not to come!" Wu Shan said mercilessly, "The fourth younger sister walks around the Dongkua courtyard several times a day, and even helps Aunt Cui weed and catch insects. How can you compare to the fourth younger sister?"

Wu Ya was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes.

Dou Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "We are all thirsty, isn't the tea ready yet?"

The boy from Wu Shan's family trotted over with a tea cup: "Okay, okay, fourth lady, okay!" Looking up and seeing Wu Ya and the others, he was stunned, and then ran back with the tea cup.

Everyone looked puzzled.

He trotted over with a few more cups of tea, sweating profusely and said, "Master, miss, please drink tea."

Everyone roared with laughter.

The atmosphere became cheerful.

Dou Zhao and the girls were sitting next to the beauties with bamboo mats in the gazebo drinking tea, while Dou Qiguang was painting the hills and jungles in the distance. Gradually, Dou Zhengchang and Dou Pinyi were attracted to them.

Wu Shan was thinking about whether to go over and have a look, when he saw his brother walking over.

"Fourth sister, what are you doing these days?" He sat next to Wu Shan, "I will go to Kyoto with my mother and Ah Qi at the end of this month, and I may not be able to come back until after the New Year. Do you have any questions?" A letter or something for me to bring to Seventh Uncle?" The attitude is upright and natural.

Dou Zhao said with a smile: "Someone in the family often goes to Kyoto. There is nothing special to bring there."

Wu Shandao: "Is there anything for me to bring back? Every time there is a temple fair in Daxiangguo Temple and Baiyun Temple in Kyoto, people from all over the world will gather there, and everything is sold." [

"I can't remember what I'm missing?" Dou Zhao smiled, "If I remember, it won't be too late for Brother Wu to take care of me."

Wu Shan asked: "I heard from Aunt Six that you plant lotus in a vat, how do you plant it? Can it survive?"

Talk about something you like.Dou Zhao smiled brightly, and his voice became soft and full of patience: "I planted water lilies. Have you seen it? It is very similar to lotus, but the leaves and flowers of lotus are out of the water, while water lilies are Ping on the surface of the water is very common in the south of the Yangtze River, and we grow less here. I just tried to grow it this year..."

"Really?" Wu Shan opened his eyes wide, "There are such flowers..."

Wu Ya, who was sitting among them, suddenly stood up "teng".Pointing at Wu Shan, there was a crackle: "There are two water lilies planted in the backyard of our house, and one of them is a white fairy. Have you never seen it? You killed the white fairy. Grandfather lost his temper, or great-grandfather protected him. I only let you copy the "Three Character Classic" ten times. How dare you say that you don't know any water lilies?"

The inside and outside of the gazebo were suddenly as quiet as ever, except for the sound of hunting in the wind blowing through the skirts of the clothes.

"I really didn't know it was a water lily!" Wu Shan's eyes were as clear as spring water, "Isn't that the Meridian flower you're talking about?" As he said that, he patted his head suddenly and looked at Dou Zhaodao, "Could it be that the water lily you mentioned is the meridian flower?"

Dou Zhao couldn't help it, turned around and laughed out loud.

Wu Ya's face was red and white, and she turned around and ran out of the pavilion.

Wu Shan hurriedly chased after him.He stopped his younger sister under a big tree, and said solemnly: "Why do you dislike the fourth younger sister of the Dou family?"

"I, I..." Wu Ya's tears burst out immediately, "I am your sister!" As she spoke, she began to cry loudly.

Wu Shan was stunned, and took a while to take out the handkerchief to help Wu Ya wipe away her tears.He said in a gentle voice: "Silly sister, when are you not my sister! You are not only my sister, but also my good sister forever, the sister I love the most. You can't be my sister because you are my sister. It’s only good for you, think about it, is this the truth.” He said again, “Look, I’m very happy when you come back, and I made a special trip to ask someone to bring you a Western hanger from Ji’s shop in Zhending Prefecture. When I came back, I didn’t buy it for the fourth sister of the Dou family, did I? That’s because you like it. The fourth sister of the Dou family likes those pens, ink, paper and inkstones, so I bought a box of white fans for the fourth sister of the Dou family. I didn’t buy it for you, did I? As he said, he took off the folding fan hanging from his waist and opened it, "Look, the fourth younger sister gave me and Brother Zhi a folding fan each, and you, I gave you so many good things, You didn't give me anything!" Then he shouted, "I tell you, if you are like this, I will only give things to my fourth sister in the future, and I will never give you anything again."

Wu Ya looked at Wu Shan with teary eyes: "Really, really!"

Wu Shan said seriously: "Really!"

Wu Ya lowered her head.

Wu Shandao: "Go and apologize to the fourth sister of the Dou family." He said to himself, "I gave you so many things, what did you give me? But the fourth sister, I gave her a small Things, she knows to answer me... and said that I was not good to you... When you were young, I was not the blame for your troubles when you were young! Why do you get older and less likable..."

Wu Ya glared at her elder brother fiercely, thinking about her brother's kindness to her in the past, she eliminated her growing jealousy towards Dou Zhao.

Dou Qijun saw the Wu brothers and sisters coming over, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't watch the fun here, go eat watermelon, if you don't eat it, it will be as hot as the stones outside."

When he left home, Dou Dechang chilled two watermelons and took them up the mountain.

Dou Pinyi and Dou Pinshu were still confused, but they didn't think much of it amidst the chatter and laughter of Dou Dechang and the others. Everyone was either sitting at the stone table, or sitting on the side of the beauty, waiting to eat watermelon.

Wu Ya blushed, walked up to Dou Zhao and whispered, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't lose my temper."

Dou Zhao looked up in surprise, and saw Wu Shan's shining eyes.
