Ninefold Purple

Chapter 84 Undercurrent

Dou Zhao went to class, and grandma welcomed Ji into the house with a smile.

Ji asked Honggu to find some pots of flowers and plants suitable for the hall and guest room: "It doesn't matter what is expensive, as long as it looks good!"

Hong Gu smiled and said yes.

Mrs. Ji pulled her grandmother to the stone table under the grape trellis in the backyard and sat down.

"I'm here to look for you." She told her grandmother about Mrs. Wu's visit to her, "...The Wu family has a simple population and a small estate. Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu are also real people. The most rare thing is Mrs. Wu. Shan treats Aunt Shou with good intentions, and has been consistent for so many years. Mrs. Wu came to ask again in person, quite sincerely, and I think this marriage is good. If you also think it is good, I am thinking about whether to invite Aunt Shou's aunt back Look at the people, when the time comes, the marriage will be finalized." [

Grandmother had already narrowed her eyes with a smile when she knew the reason for Ji's visit. At this time when Ji asked, she nodded repeatedly: "Of course I want to invite Shougu's aunt to come back to see the child. Her aunt has a good eye. You can’t make mistakes when you look at someone.” He said again, “Wu Shan is the child we grew up with, and if Shougu marries him, she won’t suffer.”

"I think so too." Mrs. Ji smiled, "Besides, Mrs. Wu came to ask about Shougu in person, she is quite sincere. But, don't tell Shougu for now, I don't know that Shougu's uncle agrees. Or do you disagree?"

"I know, I know." Grandma said with a smile, just in time to see Aunt Hong instructing a few rough envoys to bring in some pots of flowers, and hurriedly said, "If anyone asks, I will say that you are here to move flowers and plants. "

Ji smiled and said, "You and I thought about going together."

Dou Zhao trusted his grandmother the most, so naturally he would not place anyone beside her. Hearing that Mrs. Ji came to move a few pots of flowers and trees, he asked foolishly: "Is it enough? If not, let them move it again."

Wu Shan is always paying attention to his mother's actions.He was ecstatic to know that Second Grandma Yu had gone to Mrs. Tai.As soon as his mother returned to the guest room, he served tea and poured water, beat his legs and beat his fan to flatter Mrs. Wu, causing Wu Ya to say from the side: "Be courteous. Either rape or steal. Brother and What do you want to ask mother for? Mother, you can't be too partial. If my brother has it, I want it too!"

What he said made Wu Shan laugh out loud.

Mrs. Wu couldn't laugh or cry.Pointing at the middle of the daughter's forehead: "You child, what are you yelling about? What do you mean you should have what your brother has? You are so old, why do you always look like an ignorant child. In the future, your sister-in-law will enter The door. Can you talk to your sister-in-law like this?"

"I have a sister-in-law. Of course I wouldn't talk to my brother like this!" Wu Ya pouted, "Isn't there still no sister-in-law?" Marrying a sister-in-law?” Then she yelled loudly, “No, no, if my brother marries a sister-in-law, he must marry someone I like. Otherwise, what if she won’t let me go back to my mother’s house?”

"The more you talk, the more shameful it becomes!" Mrs. Wu pretended to be angry and patted her daughter.

Wu Ya shrank her shoulders in fright, and hid behind Nanny Bi.

The people in the room burst into laughter.

Mistress Yu, who was with the second wife, smiled a bit forcedly.

"...You all know what happened back then." The second lady took her hand and sighed, "I'm afraid our Dou family can't decide Shou Gu's marriage. If someone else comes to propose, we will I definitely suspect that he wants to marry Shougu. Since the Wu family is asking for marriage, let alone Mr. Wu's character, based on the friendship between our two families, this is also the best marriage in the family. I am happy to see it come true Yes. But now, the Zhao family guards us like thieves, if we still interfere in Shougu's marriage, I'm afraid that at that time..." At this point, the second lady shook her head resignedly.

How could Grandma Yuer not know?

But that is half of Sidou's property.

It's fine if Mrs. Wu doesn't mention it, but now Mrs. Wu is clearly interested in Dou Zhao, so why should they fight?

She didn't want to give up, and said: "Then tell me, what should I do?" She threw the ball to Mrs. Tai, and said with a very distressed look, "I didn't know the importance before, and I already agreed to my aunt... You have to make it complete, right?"

The Second Madam looked at Second Grandma Yu's seemingly innocent expression and was furious. [

Don't know what to do?

I'm afraid you have already made up your mind?

It turns out that Wu's family is pretty good, but I didn't expect that he is also a sanctimonious hypocrite!

If you want to marry Dou Zhao, then you have to see how much money your Wu family has!

Now that one of them has moved, I'm afraid that the next few will be thinking about it.

You have to find a way to make plans early, so as to prevent the incipient development.

Now that Grandma He Yu is tearing her face apart, she might offend the other families, and when the time comes to attack them in groups, she may not be able to suppress them.

Thinking of this, the second lady took a deep breath, smiled a little more gently, and said: "Don't worry, it's about kissing, it's about talking, how can it be settled without a few rounds? Yuan is in the capital, and Zhao’s uncle is in the northwest, so it’s even more urgent.” After saying that, he paused, “Fortunately, Mr. Wu is not someone else, and your seventh uncle also knows him, so I’ll write a letter to your seventh uncle first. When he agrees, discuss it with the uncle of the Zhao family. You are both the daughter-in-law of the Dou family and the aunt of the Wu family. For Mrs. Wu, you should explain to her carefully, and don't offend your relatives."

This is exactly the purpose of Grandma Yu's visit.

She thanked her happily and went to Mrs. Wu's place.

The second lady's face was sullen, and she called Dou Shibang over.

"You write a letter to Lao Wu." She told Dou Shibang about the Wu family's proposal to marry Dou Zhao, "If he thinks this marriage is feasible, it's not too late for us to discuss it with Lao Qi."

Hearing his mother's tone, Dou Shibang was not optimistic about the Wu family, he couldn't help but said: "I think that Wu Shan is very knowledgeable at a young age, he is restrained and quick-witted, he is a person who can achieve great things..."

"Then what's the use?" The second wife smiled wryly, "By the time he is able to help Yuan Ji, Yuan Ji and that Wang Xingyi will have already decided the winner."

Dou Shibang was silent.

The second lady told him: "You send your own person to deliver the letter. If anyone asks, just say that the letter is for the seventh master of Jingdu. Put another envelope on the outside of the envelope and write the name of tens of thousands of yuan."

Dou Shibang should be here.

As the second wife thought, Second Grandma Yu sent someone to watch the letter sent to Kyoto.It was only when I saw the envelope with the words "Dou Wanwan's relatives" written with my own eyes that I felt relieved.

Over there, the Ji family entrusted the clerk of Ji's shop to deliver a letter to Zhao Si.

But Dou Zhao and Wu Shan, who are the parties involved, don't know anything about the treacherous wind and clouds that happened to them. Dou Zhao is learning piano with Song Weimin these days.Gong Shang Jiaoyu recognized her with a head as big as a bucket.Wu Shanze was proud of himself, and he smiled when he saw everyone, taking advantage of the few days of happy life.I went to Baoding Mansion with Dou Zhengde and the others.And brought back to Dou Zhao a big red qin spike with a wishful knot.

Song Yan, who was learning the piano with Song Weimin with Dou Zhao, twitched slightly and turned his face away.

It is indeed a bit flashy.But Wu Shan didn't take it seriously, [

In his arms was a big red silk purse.There is a small concentric knot nobile inside.It was as if a burning flame made his chest hot.

That is what he wanted to give Dou Zhao.

Holding the big red zither, Dou Zhao looked at Wu Shan who was standing in front of him with a silly smile, and then looked at Dou Dechang who came with Wu Shan but stood far away like a wooden stake outside the waterside pavilion.My head was full of fog, and I felt as if something had happened.Everyone knew it, but it seemed that she was the only one keeping it from her.

She handed the bright red Qin Sui to Bie Suxin, who was serving beside her, and thanked Wu Shan with a smile.

A boy ran over from a distance.

"Master Twelfth, Miss Fourth," he was sweating profusely, "Mrs. Six wants you to go back quickly. The young cousin of the Ji family is here."

Everyone in the water pavilion was stunned.

"Young master of the Ji family, who is it?" Dou Dechang asked in a daze, "There are more than [-] members of the Ji family and my generation!"

The boy wiped his sweat: "It's the sixteenth young master of the Ji family."

Dou Dechang was shocked: "What, is Ji Yong here? When did he come? Who did he come with?" It looked like he had met a creditor.

Now it was Dou Zhao and Wu Shan's turn to be curious.

"What's the matter?" Wu Shan asked him, "Is this Ji Yong having any trouble with you?"

"No!" Dou Dechang grinned, as if he had a toothache, "I just admired his name for a long time."

Dou Zhaoze said: "Should I go too? Aunt Six wants me to go too?"

The little fellow nodded repeatedly: "That's what Mrs. Six explained."

Dou Zhao looked at Dou Dechang.

Dou Dechang procrastinated, looking unwilling to go back.

Dou Zhao felt something was wrong, and said solemnly, "What's going on?"

"It's okay, it's okay," Dou Dechang said, straightening up involuntarily, "Let's go over quickly, so as not to keep the guests waiting." That expression, like that of Jing Ke who assassinated the King of Qin, carried the solemnity of never returning.

Wu Shan couldn't help but exchanged glances with Dou Zhao: "I'll go there with you."

Dou Zhao nodded, but Dou Dechang kept saying "no need" and said to Wu Shan, "You haven't gone to say hello to your aunt when you come back. You should go back and see your aunt first, and we will meet again later."

Wu Shan took a look at Dou Zhao, pulled Dou Dechang aside, and said in a low voice, "Tell me honestly, have you kept Ji Yong's money for a long time? I still have 400 taels of silver in my room. If you want to use it, Take it first, if it’s not enough, I’ll think of a way.”

"No, really not." Dou Dechang said a little dumbfounded, "Since I won that bastard surnamed He in the last cockfight, I gave away the iron general I raised. You know about this, and I can't do it." If you break your promise, you should trust me."

Wu Shan was dubious: "I trust you about the cockfight. But why are you afraid of Ji Yong?"

Dou Dechang's expression changed slightly: "I'm not afraid of Ji Yong, I just don't like to see this person."

Wu Shan said something else, and Dou Zhao, who was eavesdropping openly beside him, coughed lightly.

Even if you are a confidant, everyone has secrets that everyone doesn't want to tell.

She smiled and said: "Brother Twelve, wait for me for a while, I will go change clothes and go back home with you."

Dou Dechang nodded, but his brows were tightly frowned into the word "Chuan".



When I was writing this chapter, I always felt that something was wrong, and then I read Chapter 83 repeatedly, changed some dialogues, and it became much smoother. Then I started writing Chapter 84. It’s a bit late, sorry!
