Ninefold Purple

The gate of Dou’s house was still full of people, but the side passage was very quiet when the side door was opened. Two black lacquered carriages with flat tops were parked, with curtains of Xiangfei bamboo hanging on them, and a few well-faced servants were unloading boxes and cages.

The cage is amber in color, half new and not old, but the wood grain is smooth and clear, and the four corners are covered with bronze cloud patterns, which looks simple and quiet, with a bit of thickness.

"It's really extravagant, and all of them are made of rosewood." Dou Zhao heard Dou Dechang muttering in a low voice, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and took a second look.

The healthy servants who carried the boxes and cages were only 27 or [-] years old, and [-] or [-] years old were young. They had solemn expressions and quick movements. They carried the huge boxes and cages in their hands, and their faces were neither red nor out of breath.

It is not uncommon for rich families to walk outside with entourages who have trained in martial arts, but it is rare to see people who are about the same height, short, fat, and thin, and have exactly the same clothes. [

It is indeed luxurious!

Isn't he afraid of being robbed?

Dou Zhao smiled, walked around the flower hall with Dou Dechang and Wu Shan, and went to the sixth aunt.

The black lacquered Ruyi door is wide open, and the bluestone corridor is very clean, as if it has been washed with water. The mynah hanging under the eaves is flapping its wings, and the pomegranate tree next to it is in full bloom.

The maids and mother-in-law stood breathlessly in the veranda with their hands down, not daring to move. When they saw them coming in, they blinked at them.

"Did you see it?" Dou Dechang whispered in Dou Zhao's ear, "The one who came to our house is not Young Master Biao, but the emperor!"

Dou Zhao snorted, managed to hold back his laughter, and entered the hall one after the other with Dou Dechang and Wu Shan.

Dou Zhengchang stood respectfully beside Ji with his hands down.Mrs. Ji and a young man in moon-white muslin robes were sitting side by side on an arhat bed inlaid with mica stones, holding the young man's hand and talking with a smile on his face.

Hearing the movement, both of them raised their heads.

Ji's smile is particularly bright, as if flowing from the bottom of his heart.With undisguised joy, completely different from her usual restrained and low-key, Dou Zhao was very surprised.Look at the boy next to her.However, at the age of fifteen or six, although he is tall and handsome, he is also ordinary, but he is sitting with a smile on his face, his expression is calm and serene, and his eyes are shining brightly.Bright as a star stone, it gives people a feeling of "Although he looks gentle, but if you neglect him, he is not so easy to talk to", this kind of contradictory temperament.It is unforgettable to see, and even has a kind of curiosity to get a glimpse of it.

Dou Zhao was secretly startled.

This should be that Ji Yong.

She suddenly thought of the beautiful boy she saw in Fayuan Temple.

One, two... more than she had seen in her previous life.

Dou Zhao couldn't help but glanced at Dou Dechang.

Both Dou Dechang and Wu Shan stared at Ji Yong with wide eyes, obviously did not expect Ji Yong to be such an outstanding character.

Over there, Mrs. Ji has warmly greeted them: "Wu Shan is here too! Brother Zhi, Aunt Shou, come and meet your sixteenth cousin."

Ji Yong stood up with a smile, and bowed to several people with an elegant manner: "Ji Jianming in Yixing, Ji Yong."

Ji Yong already has a Biaozi...he is only about the same age as Dou Dechang...Only a boy who is particularly outstanding in his career can be given a Biaozi in advance by his elders or teachers. Could it be that this Ji Yong is outstanding in his studies? ? [

Dou Zhao bowed his knees to return the salute, and saw Mrs. Ji pointing at Wu Shan with a smile on his face, saying, "This is the young master of Wu Hanlin's family. He is the head of the Beijing Zhili Court Examination this year." Then he pointed to Ji Yong, "My natal nephew, B Xie Yuan, who took the Nanzhili Township Examination in Mao, was 13 years old."

13-year-old Jie Yuan!

Why hasn't she heard of it in her previous life?

Has anything changed in this world?

Although she married into an honorable family, she has heard of the names of champions or famous ministers.Maybe it's because this person has mediocre aptitude when he grows up?

As Dou Zhao thought about it, he felt that both Dou Zhengchang and Dou Dechang's faces were turning blue.Even Wu Shan's smile became forced.

Ji Jianming seemed to know about it, or he was already used to other people's expressions, and said with a faint smile: "My aunt has won the award, I was just lucky." Then he quickly changed the subject, and bowed his hands to Dou Zhengchang and Dou Dechang , said with a smile, "I have long heard that the cousins ​​of the Dou family like to travel and have a lot of knowledge. This time I am really sure, I am afraid I will disturb the two of you."

Dou Zhengchang and Dou Dechang hurriedly bowed their hands to return the salute, but before they had time to speak, Mrs. Ji laughed and said: "They are both from my own family, so you don't need to put money on them, they just like to play, you have Wherever you want to go, just ask them."

Dou Zhao saw Dou Zhengchang and Dou Dechang showing very embarrassing expressions.

Her heart moved, and she thought of the tone she used to teach her son in her previous life. She praised others and belittled her son. As a result, her son would not say that he had learned from others, and would run away when he heard that person's name.

Dou Zhao had a faint understanding in his heart.

Neither Dou Zhengchang nor Dou Dechang are narrow-minded people. Judging by the appearance of the sixth aunt, I am afraid that she often praised Ji Yong and belittled them in front of her son, so that the two of them became disgusted with Ji Yong before they saw Ji Yong. up.

Be sure to learn from it in the future!

Dou Zhao warned himself.

After Ji Yong and Wu Shan exchanged a few words, Mrs. Ji pulled Dou Zhao to her side, and said with a smile: "This is your cousin of the Dou family, who is the fourth in the family. She grew up beside me, just like Brother Hui." , Brother Zhi, who is closest to me, you will also meet."

Ji Yong gave Dou Zhao a generous look, then smiled and called out "fourth cousin".

Dou Zhao is very grateful to Mrs. Ji.

She must have felt that she had no real brothers, and if she could make some in-laws like Ji Yong, she would have someone to rely on in the future.

Dou Zhao sincerely called "Cousin Ji".

Everyone sat down and drank tea.

Ji Shi continued talking to Ji Yong.

According to the tone, the Ji family is divided into five houses and eight houses outside. There are nearly a hundred people in the direct descendants alone. I don't know how much more complicated it is than the Dou family. [

It's no wonder that after marrying into Dou's family, the Ji family can lift weights like light ones.

Dou Zhao was speechless.

After a while, a little servant girl came over and said: "Mrs. Tai held a banquet in Luyin Pavilion to clean up Master Biao. I called the young master and young lady from several rooms to accompany me."

The Luyin Pavilion is next to Dou's main hall, and the fans of the Luyin Pavilion will be opened only when dignitaries come.

Ji's face was full of red, and he led them to Luyin Pavilion.

on the way.Dou Dechang murmured to Wu Shan in a low voice: "You are so good, why don't you continue to try for the third grade! Why did you come to our house to show off?"

Dou Zhao pursed his lips tightly, afraid that he would laugh out loud.

In the green pavilion.Not only those from the Chang family who were at home arrived, but also those from the Qi family who were taking classes in ethnology, separated by twelve black lacquered screens, and the female relatives sat in the small hall to the west. Accompanied by Yuchang, he and the others sat in the east hall.As soon as the hot dishes were served, words of praise for Ji Yong continued to flow into the west hall. In comparison, Wu Shan's desk seemed to have become light and light, not worth mentioning.

Mrs. Wu, mother and daughter were also present.She kept her composure and asked Ji Yong in a low voice to Grandma Yu Er. After learning that Ji Yong was 13 years old, she had to look at Ji Yong differently. When she was outstanding, she glanced at her daughter with a smile, and curiously asked Ji, who was at the same table: "With such a talent and appearance, I am afraid that the matchmakers have stepped down the threshold?"

Ji Shi and You Rong smiled and looked at Ji Yong who was being held by the second wife.Hehe smiled and said: "My family ancestor doesn't want to get married so early when I see Ming." Euphemistically admitting that many people have proposed marriage to Ji Yong.

Everyone nodded.

Grandma Xiusan even said: "This kind of talent, even if it is replaced by a dull person like me, I should carefully choose a good marriage for him."

Everyone laughed, and the topic turned to Qi who had just married.

She is Dou Qijun's wife.His father, Qi Baocheng, was a big landlord in Quyang County next door. He was a good friend with Dou Xiuchang, and there were several scholars in his family.It can also be regarded as a farming and studying family.

Wei's appearance is beautiful, and his temperament is also gentle. As soon as he entered the door, he helped Grandma Xiusan take care of her younger siblings.There is a sister in her family who is five years younger than her. When she was a guest at home last time, she was spotted by Grandma Guangwu. She wanted to be a matchmaker for her natal nephew, and everyone had to ask for a while.

Mrs. Wu sat quietly drinking tea, watching Ji Yong's back walking out of the west hall, her eyes dimmed, and she sighed softly.

Dou Zhao saw it and didn't make a sound.

In the next few days, brothers Dou Zhengchang and Dou Dechang took Ji Yong all over Zhending County.

However, Dou Zhao worriedly served her grandmother's decoction at home. Somehow, her grandmother caught a cold and coughed badly, and even took several medicines but it didn't get better.

People from Dongdou heard about it, and they all came to visit the doctor.

The Ji family also brought Ji Yong over.

"He has some medical knowledge," she explained, "Let him feel the pulse of Aunt Cui, so we can feel more at ease."

Dou Zhao nodded again and again, and invited Ji's aunt and nephew into the grandmother's inner room.

Ji Yong checked grandmother's pulse, looked at the prescriptions prescribed by several doctors, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a common cold, just take a few medicines to make you feel hot. You are too anxious, this doctor just took two medicines. If the medicine didn’t improve, she immediately changed to another doctor, which delayed her old man’s illness. Now the medicine prescribed by this doctor is very good, and she should be able to recover after taking a few doses.”

Grandma was restricted by Dou Zhao to lie in the house to rest, and she didn't get out of bed for several days, her bones were all stiff.Hearing what Ji Yong said, he joked with Ji: "I said I'm fine, but Shou Gu didn't believe me. I think those old ladies from rich and noble families are discounted like this."

Everyone laughed.

Dou Zhao was ashamed.

She has been worried about her grandmother's longevity.

It's just that you can't tell others.

She lowered her eyelids.

Ji Yong said: "Fourth cousin, this medicine is also very skillful. I will help Aunt Cui cook the side medicine. You send a little maid to watch over it. From now on, I will teach her to make medicine for the old man."

The Dou family is not that upstart, how could they not know how to make medicine?

But Ji Yong's words have already been spoken, and she is too embarrassed to refute directly, and Ji Yong is a guest, and he came to see Aunt Cui's pulse for the sake of affection, so he can't be treated as an ordinary doctor. Although he said he asked her to send a maid to follow her That's enough, how could she really just send a maid to follow?Dou Zhao had no choice but to personally accompany him to the small ear room where the medicine was boiled.

After entering the ear room, Ji Yong stood still.

He asked Dou Zhao in a warm voice: "I see you were hesitant to speak just now, but is there anything you can't say in front of my aunt and Aunt Cui?"
