Chapter 8: Encounters
86_86882 Dou Miaojing shouted to him: "Forget it, let's just ask someone to take it down another day." "The mother-in-law guarding the door doesn't know where to go to fight the autumn wind, and the five rooms have to be governed by the rules.
"Nope." Dou Zhi exhaled, "This is what I gave you, how can you hang it here, let's go by ourselves." What if someone takes it off? Second sister, you wait, I don't believe you can't get it. As he spoke, he began to roll up his sleeves and try to climb the tree.
Dou Miaojing took a breath of cold air. Dou Zhiti is good, but he has only read since he was a child, where can he climb trees. Could it be like Lu Chengyang, who secretly learned to climb trees?
Sure enough, this was impossible.
Dou Zhi crawled a few times like a turtle, and as expected by Dou Miaojing, her butt fell to the ground. He was so angry that he pounded the ground, his eyes were red, and he was about to cry.
Dou Miaojing sighed and said, "Then I'll help you." "I may not be able to reach that height...... As he spoke, he was about to lift his skirt and come out.
Dou Zhi turned her head and glared at her: "You are not allowed to come out." The second cousin also said that the wall has ears, who knows who is watching in what corner. โ
He probably said Dou Pu, right?
Dou Miaojing still lifted her skirt and came out, and said: "Brother Pu Cong is still kneeling in the ancestral hall, and the old lady said that he didn't apologize to me for a day, so he went to the ancestral hall to kneel every day." โ
Dou Zhi ignored him, pulled out a dagger from his boots, and cut down the tree with all his might.
Dou Miaojing was startled, and hurriedly went over and snatched the dagger: "Good tree, do you want to kill it?" Who gave you this dagger? What if you hurt yourself? Suddenly seeing that Dou Zhi's eyes were watery and seemed to have tears rolling, she couldn't bear to accuse him anymore. Looking up at the kite, sure enough, the height was completely out of her reach.
Dou Zhi muttered quietly: "My father gave me self-defense." โ
I don't know if Dou Miaojing heard it, just stared at the kite, and muttered, "If only my cousin was still here." โ
"Yes......" Dou Zhi seconded. He has to grow up quickly......
The two of them stared at each other for a while, and suddenly a hand came out of their eyes, and they easily reached the kite in their hands.
The hand was lean, the palm was like jade, and it faintly shone ruddy in the sun. The five fingers are slender and long, and the knuckles are well-proportioned, and even the nails are neatly trimmed.
Dou Zhi was fine, but Dou Miaojing was really startled. When I looked back, I saw a strange man I had never seen before, dressed in a plain lake blue Gebu straight jacket, with a smile and starry eyebrows. He was also followed by a servant, the short fight of the navy blue, Kong Wu was strong, and his face was indifferent as if there were no two of them in his eyes at all.
She was so frightened that she wanted to hide behind Dou Zhi, but after realizing that Dou Zhi was shorter than her, she still showed her head.
"Uncle OK!" After Dou Zhi saw the person coming clearly, she shouted sweetly. The voice was soft, as if it was the same as the two people who had just taught Dou Miaojing.
Before Dou Miaojing could react, "Uncle Xing" had already held Dou Zhi in his arms, and asked him gently: "I waited here for a long time and didn't see your father come out, did he forget me?" โ
"Why, he'll be out in a moment." Dou Zhi hugged the man's neck and coquettishly.
Dou Miaojing watched Dou Zhi pull out of front of her as if she had been pulled out of dry land, and her whole person was completely exposed to the vision of two strange men. She was at a loss in a panic - the rules of the fifth room are indeed not big, but she didn't say that she could meet with a foreign man without permission! Especially to run to the outer courtyard.
Depressed, she originally planned to take Dou Zhi's words well, but she didn't even let Shaoyue follow, and the mother-in-law who guarded the second door didn't know where to go. It's hard to tell. If people look at it, they still think that she used Dou Zhi as a guise to run out to have a private meeting with others.
This "Uncle Xing" doesn't seem to be very old, but since Brother Zhi calls him Uncle Xing, it's always right for her to follow suit.
"Okay...... Uncle OK. She was awkward for a long time, and finally saluted the man.
Gu Xing seemed to have only seen Dou Miaojing at this time, and her dark gaze fell on her, as if Dou Miaojing felt that a basin of cold water had suddenly been poured on her head in the June sky.
Her fear was written all over her face.
Gu Xing smiled: "What are the steps?" โ
He smiled heartily, and Dou Miaojing suddenly felt that it must have been his own delusion just now. He regained his composure and replied to him with a smile: "Brother Zhi'er's father is my second uncle. โ
"Oh." Gu Xing nodded clearly, "I heard that Brother Yurun has two twin nieces, but I didn't expect to see one of them inadvertently." I'm lucky. โ
Oh, Uncle Xing's original name was Gu Xing. He was a friend of the second uncle--Dou Miaojing remembered that when she and her sister first went to Hua'en Pavilion, her grandmother was meeting guests. Later, I didn't see this guest, so it was probably Gu Xing. Because he is not from the family, he avoided her and her sister and came out early to wait for the second uncle.
Unexpectedly, I still bumped into it.
Dou Miaojing thought of this, and blushed: "Uncle Okay, don't tell my second uncle, I'm out." โ
Gu Xing understood and handed her the kite: "Be careful next time." โ
"Hmm." Dou Miaojing took the kite nervously and asked Dou Zhi, "Are you going back with me?" โ
Dou Zhi immediately abandoned his second sister, shook her head and said, "Second sister, you tell my father that I am here to accompany Uncle Xing." โ
It seems that this little ghost likes Gu Xing very much! Dou Miaojing's face darkened by half. If Dou Zhi doesn't go back, isn't it equivalent to suing everyone, and she also sees Gu Xing?
Hey, forget it, she also calls Gu Xing "Uncle Xing", since she is an elder, it should be harmless.
She saluted Gu Xing and turned back alone. When he walked to the second gate, he wanted to glare at this unrighteous Dou Zhi, who knew that Gu Xing was teasing Dou Zhi.
She was startled.
Under the sun, Gu Xing's side face was clearly outlined, and he had vaguely seen it somewhere.
Where?
Where?
Dou Miaojing racked his brains.
"Miaojing, why are you here?"
ran into Dou Pei who went back.
Dou Miaojing was thinking about her thoughts, and when she was called by Dou Pei, most of her soul flew away, and she forgot everything she had just thought about at once. She stammered "Second Uncle" and wanted to leave quickly.
Dou Pei stopped her: "Brother Zhi is not with you?" โ
Dou Miaojing blinked, opened her eyes for the first time and said nonsense: "Brother Zhi said that he was going to accompany Uncle Xing, I can't stop him." โ
Dou Pei nodded, but his eyes stayed on the kite in her hand, smiled, and left without saying anything.
Dou Miaojing breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly rushed to Huaen Pavilion. Fortunately, my sister was still chatting with her grandmother, and she asked Shaoyue to straighten her skirt before she went in, for fear that the wolf bรจi just now would make her grandmother suspicious.
When Mrs. Zhou saw her, she also asked the same question as Dou Pei: "...... Where's your brother Zhi? โ
Dou Miaojing said: "I went with the second uncle." โ
"This Brother Zhi," Mrs. Zhou laughed, "and said that he would stay with me for a few days." โ
Mrs. Zhou said this with a smile, but Dou Miaojing and her sister could see how reluctant their grandmother's smile was
