Chapter 9 Birth
86_86882 Dou Pei was always busy with chores, and he had to personally supervise his son, so both of them lived in the February Xuan in the outer courtyard to facilitate the reception. If he doesn't go out, the morning and dusk will always come.
Dou Miaojing knew that her grandmother was distressed by Brother Zhi, and no matter how capable and shrewd the second uncle was, he was also a man, and he always had something to take care of Dou Zhi. Moreover, grandmother is so lonely, she likes that there are always giggling people in front of her. But she and her sister are older, especially her sister, who has become more and more dignified and graceful in the past two years, and she usually doesn't talk much.
She said: "Second uncle just came back, I probably haven't been going out recently, and I'm always coming tomorrow." When the time comes, let's talk to Brother Zhi'er and say to him, how can he not believe his words. ”
These words made Mrs. Zhou swept away her melancholy, squinted her eyes and smiled: "Yes, yes, this Brother Zhi is becoming more and more unlikely." When I said it, I seemed to have stretched a lot of wrinkles on my face.
Dou Miaoqin looked at her sister with a smile: "Ming'er, I'm going to be a traitor, and it's your idea to sue Brother Zhi'er." ”
Mrs. Zhou laughed even harder: "You, who are your sister, why do you want to sue your sister." As she spoke, she giggled, and even Mama Xue beside her couldn't help but shake her shoulders.
Dou Miaoqin grabbed the old lady's arm: "Miaojing gave you an idea, and you are in a group with her." Brother Zhi is still alone, if I also stand with you, how can Brother Zhi be willing. ”
"Yes yes yes yes ......" can consider others everywhere, this is Miaoqin's thoughtfulness; can make people think for him everywhere, which is also Brother Zhi'er's ability. Although it was just a joke, Mrs. Zhou was quite happy. Isn't this the blessing of the old man?
Back in Yunluju, Dou Miaojing asked Shaoyue to carefully hang the pocket kite in a conspicuous place. Dou Miaoqin came in with Yingxiang and Luluo, and saw that the kite was almost broken, so she said, "Why don't you find someone to repair it?" ”
Dou Miaojing happily took her sister's hand and said babblingly, "...... Brother Zhi'er's temperament, if I go to repair it, he will definitely say that this is no longer the one he sent. He is arrogant. So I hung it in the most conspicuous place in the house, and when he saw it, his heart would be happy. ”
"Rejoice, look how crazy you are." Shaoyue hung up the kite and jumped off the stool, and said to Dou Miaoqin, "The eldest lady should persuade the second lady well, her body is not yet complete, and she will play crazy in the garden with the uncle today." If something happens again, it won't make the old lady feel distressed to death. ”
Dou Miaoqin listened, hurriedly pulled her to sit down, and looked her up and down: "I can also see that when you came back, you were sweating." Miaojing, even in our own homeland, you have to be a little more restrained. ”
My sister is so cautious, so she can be thoughtful in front of others and leave a good impression of IKEA in the hearts of others. And most of her is either a stuffy gourd or a fart.
She smiled a little weakly, and vaguely agreed.
Dou Miaoqin also knows that her younger sister is introverted, and now she can play with Brother Zhi like this, and she is actually happy for her. She couldn't bear to put shackles on her again, smiled and took two mahogany boxes from Yingxiang's hands, and patted her jade palm a few times and said, "The second uncle brought from Shandong is two fine wild ginseng." I have a weak foundation, and I am afraid that my deficiency will not be replenished, so I will not keep it. You let the small kitchen stew the soup for you, I heard that the small whiskers are good to chew. Take it to Zhixingzhai another day, and let your uncle slice it for you, how you want to eat it. With that, let Shaoyue take it.
Dou Miaojing hurriedly pushed a box back: "The second uncle gave it to you, why did you give it to me." Even if you don't eat it, you will always need it in the future. ”
Dou Miaoqin's cheeks flushed: "What nonsense are you talking about." ”
"Am I wrong?" Dou Miaojing was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted.
Wild ginseng hangs her life, if my sister takes this and honors the elders of her husband's family in the future, she will definitely be treated differently in her husband's family. But she didn't mean that. She just thought that such a good thing would definitely be useful in the future if she kept it.
My sister really thought more than she did.
The wild ginseng that Dou Pei brought from Shandong must have come from Changbai Mountain. Shandong is still far away from Changbai Mountain, and if you want to bring it in from outside the customs, Dou Pei must have taken a lot of trouble to buy these ones.
Dou Miaoqin didn't push it anymore and asked Yingxiang to take it back.
Dou Miaojing opened the box and took a look, the old ginseng was thin and thin, but there was a long string of crooked heads, and a cursory look at it was probably hundreds of years old. The beard extends in all directions but is sparse and not messy, and there are full and hard ginseng beads on it. The eldest aunt taught them that the reed bowl on the head of the house is based on the year, but this ginseng bead is a more precious thing than the ginseng body, and there is no ginseng in general.
She immediately covered it, thinking of such a high-quality thing, the medicine must be very strong. If you eat too much, it will not be beneficial, but my sister's idea is good, so I eat them separately.
Dou Miaojing handed the box to Shaoyue: "You go and weigh a few whiskers for Zhou Niangzi and boil a cup of qi-nourishing soup." "Just eat beard in the summer, too much will not be good for the fire.
Such an old ginseng, where have I seen it in the idlers. is Shaoyue, who has been working in the Dou family, and she was stunned when she saw it. I'm afraid it's going to be thousands of taels, and the second master really has a heart.
They didn't know that Dou Pei had bought a total of five such old ginseng. These two are for their sisters, and the other three are Mrs. Zhou's, one is Mrs. Yuan's, and the rest is for himself. These five old ginseng spoiled nearly 20,000 taels......
How much money has been on the outside of the fifth room in the past few years, and the ladies on the inner curtain have no bottom, so they rely on Dou Pei to take care of it.
Shaoyue went cautiously like a thousand pounds.
Dou Miaoqin took her sister's hand and said, "Aren't you strange, every time the second uncle comes back, my mother avoids it." If you do, you'll be very divided. But the second uncle treats us so well......"
As soon as my sister said this, Dou Miaojing also felt that something was wrong.
Dou Miaoqin said again: "This time, the second uncle did not give it to my mother in person, but asked me to hand it over. You say, what's going on? ”
Uncle and sister-in-law live under the same roof, and they really have to avoid suspicion at the right time. But Dou Pei and Mrs. Yuan Da are called avoiding suspicion, which is clearly the same as avoiding trouble. After so many years, they have been used to it, but as soon as they are singled out, they feel uncomfortable anywhere.
In the past, my sister wouldn't discuss these things with her, and whether she was thinking about it in her heart or not, Dou Miaojing didn't know. Now that her sister suddenly said this to her, she suddenly felt as if she had grown up a little bit and could be compared with her sister.
Although, the two are actually the same size. Dou Miaojing felt that his psychology was very funny.
She is used to being dependent, so she will feel flattered when she is relied on.
Dou Miaojing thought about it for a while, and called Mama Liang, who was doing needlework under the corridor, in: "Second uncle gave us wild ginseng, and I ordered the small kitchen to stew Yiqi soup." Later, Mama will also drink a bowl. ”
Mama Liang was surprised, she didn't know how to speak excitedly, and looked at Dou Miaojing in a daze.
As she gets older, she gradually becomes inadequate. That ginseng soup is not drunk by a person of her status at all, if she can really drink a bowl, it will really be life-saving. But at the same time, she was very puzzled, Dou Miaojing was her grandmother, she knew Dou Miaojing, it was impossible for her to say such decent words. This must be a gift from the eldest lady, and I want to borrow the hand of the second lady so that I can serve the second lady well.
So he was busy kneeling down to thank him, but was supported by Dou Miaojing
