Ninefold Purple

Mrs. Wu, who was originally scheduled to leave at the end of June, advanced the trip by a few days.

The second grandma saw off her aunt, and mentioned the marriage between Wu Shan and Dou Zhao: "...how do you think I can agree with Mrs. Tai?"

At the beginning, Mrs. Wu proposed this marriage on her own initiative, but now the Dou family has agreed. It stands to reason that Mrs. Wu should settle this matter before leaving Zhending. If there is no exchange of notes, at least there must be a word.

Mrs. Wu said indifferently: "At that time, it was just a question, and our master must agree to this matter."

Second Grandma was stunned. [

Mrs. Wu lowered her eyelids as if avoiding it, lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

Second Mistress suddenly turned purple with anger.

Although she is a girl from the Wu family, she is also the daughter-in-law of the Dou family.

At the beginning, her aunt was sincere, so she went to the second lady to ask for this favor, but her aunt changed her mind. How would this make her gain a foothold in the Dou family in the future?

"Auntie, we are not outsiders." Second Mistress suppressed the anger in her heart after a while, and said in a hoarse voice, "If you have anything to say, tell me directly. I have to explain to Mrs. Tai and my mother-in-law. You probably don't Do you know? Under the name of Aunt Shou, there is a dowry with half of Xi Dou's property. I don't know how many people are watching! If the Wu family and the Dou family are not related by marriage, or if the uncle and fifth uncle are close friends, the Dou family may not agree to this marriage. dear..."

Mrs. Wu was taken aback.

Dou Zhao has half of Xi Dou's property as a dowry?

No wonder he was so arrogant that he dared to kill Pang Kunbai.

Such a woman should not be allowed to enter the door.

Otherwise, who can control it in the future!

Maybe he will also bear the reputation of being greedy for his daughter-in-law's dowry.

She suddenly became angry and said dissatisfied: "Who are your uncle and I, don't you know? Fourth Miss Dou has so many dowries, why didn't you tell me? Is it because you are afraid that I will be greedy for her dowry?" It’s a good thing you told this matter today, if you wait until the two families have a gift, can our Wu family afford the dowry? You’re not a matchmaker, you’re embarrassing your mother’s family! Let me tell you the truth , the fourth young lady of your family was just robbed and beaten to death. She is still an in-law. My son can't bear such a person! I'm afraid that one day I will offend her. Even being a mother-in-law won't let you go!"

The second grandma didn't know the details.Hearing this, he was very surprised, but he still insisted: "Why does Auntie talk like that? The Fourth Sister and the Twelfth Uncle were robbed and they didn't resist. Could it be that they stick their heads out and let others cut them off?"

Mrs. Wu only thought that she was speaking for her husband's family.He said coldly: "I didn't say not to let her resist, but there is always a bottom line, right? She is a woman, and she has clearly gained the upper hand, so she has to be reasonable..." She was talking.The bamboo curtain slammed, and Wu Shan walked in from the outside with a face like gold paper.

"Mother, the fourth younger sister is not that kind of person." After a few days, his eye sockets were sunken, like withered grass, and he had long since lost his former vigor. "It was our idea to beat Pang Kunbai. He is too manly." Wretched, if we don't teach him a lesson, we are really unwilling..."

"Aren't you here? What are you doing here?" Mrs. Wu looked at her son with unprecedented sternness, "I was talking to your cousin, is there a place for you to interrupt here? Who did you learn from? You don't know any rules. Hurry up and go back to your room." As she spoke, she called out to Nanny Bi, "How did you serve the young master? How did you let him run around..."

Aunt clearly meant Sang scolded Huai.

Second Grandma's expression changed drastically.

Wu Shan couldn't help calling "Mother" loudly, and said, "You don't have to blame Nanny Bi, it's all my fault. I'll go back to my room and study." He said, but didn't return immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a moment, and suddenly knelt down in front of his mother with a "plop", "Mother," he begged Mrs. Wu with determination in the corners of his eyes and brows, "you, you promised me and the four My sister's marriage? I beg you..." As he spoke, he kowtowed to his mother. [

Both Mrs. Wu and Second Mistress suddenly changed color.Mrs. Wu even shouted loudly: "Wu Shan, what are you going to do?"

What is he going to do?

He just didn't give up!

Didn't the fourth sister want the orders of her parents and the words of a matchmaker?

If the Dou family agrees to their matchmaking, even if the family comes to propose marriage, he can still fight for it, right?

The corners of Wu Shan's eyes were blurred, and he kowtowed non-stop, as if only in this way, the pain in his heart would be less.

Second Mistress sighed softly, and went forward to carry Wu Shan: "Get up quickly!"

However, Wu Shan grabbed Second Grandma's sleeve like grabbing a life-saving straw: "Cousin, just help me..."

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a "snap", and his mother slapped him hard on the face: "Man, man, kneel down to the sky, kneel down to the king, master, you actually kneel down to your mother and cousin for a woman, Are you still a man! Get up!" As he spoke, he pulled Wu Shan indiscriminately.

Wu Shan didn't say a word, and stared at Second Mistress intently.

Second Mistress couldn't bear to look into his eyes, turned her face away, and said in a low voice: "This is the end, even if Fourth Sister is married, do you think it's appropriate?"

Wu Shan's eyes suddenly darkened when he heard this, as if all the strength in his body had been drained, he was pulled up by his mother in a daze.

Second Mistress didn't want to go through this muddy water again, so she got up and said goodbye.

But within half a time, what happened in the west guest room reached Ji's ears.

She was furious, and said: "What does the Wu family want to do? Do you think our Dou family is a bowl of food for his Wu family? Do whatever you want! I will go to Mrs. Tai to find out about this matter."

The second wife was also very angry, she was reclining on the kang with her eyes closed, and Mammy Liu beat her legs with a beauty hammer.

"A twisted melon is not sweet, so it's fine if it doesn't work." She persuaded Mrs. Ji, but her eyes gleamed coldly. "Just now I scolded Zijun's daughter-in-law. But what's the use? Since Mrs. Wu looks down on Shou Auntie, even if Aunt Shou marries, I'm afraid she won't get much good. If you have the heart, help her pay more attention in the future, and find her a better marriage than the Wu family."

Ji looked at the coldness that flashed in the second wife's eyes from time to time, and knew that the second wife hated Mrs. Wu, and nine out of ten she would trouble Mrs. Wu in the future, so she didn't say anything, got up and left, thinking of the first two days. Aunt Cui also sent someone to ask if she could help find two embroiderers from Jiangnan to embroider Dou Zhao's wedding dress.She felt sore, and ordered Caishu: "Have someone prepare the car, I'm going to the West Mansion."

Dou Zhao also got the news. She thought it was Wu Shan who said something in front of Mrs. Wu, and she was relieved at the same time.Inexplicably, a faint sadness passed through my heart.But she quickly put the trace of sadness behind her.Talking to Chen Qushui about the news I just got: "...the second lady has already determined that Du An was instructed by Wang Yingxue?"

"That's right!" Chen Qushui laughed, "The third master not only wrote a letter to the fifth master, but also wrote a letter to your father. He just sent people to the capital as soon as possible."

Dou Zhao pondered and said: "As my fifth uncle, he will definitely seize this matter and attack Wang Xingyi. Although Wang Xingyi has made great military achievements in the past few years, he will be outside. Although the king's order is not acceptable, but the army's salary, food, care and compensation line The rewards are indispensable to the officials of the Six Departments. The Fifth Uncle has been operating in the capital for many years and has deep roots. At this time, Wang Xingyi will never dare to turn against the Fifth Uncle. If I were him, I would definitely bow my head and admit my mistake, and promise the Fifth Uncle something... She said, laughing, "I'm terrified. Uncle Fifth can't afford all the good things, right? We probably won't be able to eat meat, but maybe we won't have soup? Why don't we let the Pang family accompany us for 1 taels?" Forget the silver... No, 2 taels of silver! For Pang Kunbai, I offered a reward of 1 taels of silver. Anyway, the people of the Pang family walked out proudly, with the words "I have silver" written on the top of their foreheads. If it seems like that, then we should pay him a good fortune!"

Chen Qushui chuckled. [

Dou Zhao told Su Xin: "Help me sharpen the ink. I want to write a letter to my father. It would be best for him to speak to Uncle Fifth about this kind of thing."

Su Xin smiled and helped Dou Zhao lay out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Dou Zhao wrote a letter to his father, and then said something righteous about Duan: "I have already told my third uncle that in the future, if the old lady Duan needs any medicinal materials, she will ask the maid who serves her to get them from the raw medicine shop of Dou's family. Just on my account."

Duan Gongyi officially became a nursing home of the Dou family yesterday.

Chen Qushui nodded with a smile: "That's great!"

Dou Zhao asked about the brush and ink shop's business again, and then returned to the inner courtyard.

Grandma's eyes were red, as if she had been crying, and there was a little pity in her gaze from time to time.

Dou Zhao was secretly amazed, and when she left Dongkuayuan, she asked Ganlu, "What's going on?"

Gan Lu lowered her head and murmured, "It's Mrs. Six who came and said that the Wu family will leave for the capital tomorrow..."

So the grandmother was sad that her marriage failed.

Dou Zhao heaved a sigh of resignation.

※※※※※

On the day Wu Shan left, it rained lightly.

The rain was so wet that it washed the leaves extra green.

Dou Zhao cut the branches and leaves of the holly tree in the flower room for a day, until Dou Dechang came to worship her in the evening: "Wu Si said, you once asked him to draw a pair of fans, and asked me to send them over for him."

She washed her hands and asked Su Xin to put the fan into the cage.

Dou Dechang said bewilderedly, "Don't you see what the painting is about?"

"It doesn't matter what the painting is?" Dou Zhao wiped his hands carefully with a handkerchief, and said calmly, "It's better to put it away."

Dou Dechang was silent.

A few days later, Ji Yong came back from Mount Tai, and when he heard that Wu Shan had left, he waved his fan and laughed twice, and ordered his followers to prepare the car, he was going to Xifu.

Ji stopped him nervously: "What are you going to do?"

Ji Yong's eyes widened: "I brought a formed Polygonum multiflorum to my fourth sister, is that okay?"

Ji smiled awkwardly.

Ji Yong walked away.

Seeing Dou Zhao, she asked her: "I heard that your marriage with Wu Shan fell through? You don't have to be sad. He is a soft person, which is really meaningless. You will definitely meet better ones in the future! I happened to find a support Polygonum multiflorum will send you off, and you will mend your hair."

Is he comforting himself or beating himself up?

Dou Zhao was so angry that his forehead twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Cousin Ji, did you hear wrong? Why didn't I know that I was engaged to Fourth Brother Wu?"

Ji Yong opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to close it.

Dou Zhao felt much better.
