Chapter 48: Cross-examination
86_86882 Shaoyue hurriedly followed, and whispered to Dou Miaojing: "Miss, the slave is careless, the second cousin young master seems to be telling the truth." When I was a child, the old locust tree at the entrance of our village was struck by thunder in the heavy rain, and it burned to the ground. β
Yinping hurriedly accosted: "Yes, yes, when I heard about it yesterday, I was scared to death." Fortunately, our second lady is blessed with a great life......"
Dou Miaojing retracted her feet and turned her head to stare at the two. Just when the two maids thought they had said the wrong thing, she suddenly smiled, nodded and said, "I know." "Who has a next time, she won't go out in this kind of ghost weather again.
But this kind of thing, she didn't seem to have heard of it in her previous life? It's funny. Does the Thunderbolt Mother really like to chop trees?
Oops, she cursed Lu Chengyang to be hacked just now!
"Bah, bah, baba, children's words are untaboo, children's words are untaboo." Dou Miaojing hurriedly spit on the ground a few times, and then stepped on it a few times with his foot, and the guilt in his heart was lessened.
The three of them returned to Yunluju with a smile, and as soon as the green pothos standing at the door of the east chamber saw Dou Miaojing's figure appear downstairs, he immediately entered the house and said to Dou Miaoqin, who was sitting at the dinner table: "Miss, Miss Second, come back." Looks like I'm happy......"
Dou Miaoqin bowed her head silently.
After a while, Dou Miaojing went upstairs, and when she saw her sister waiting for her to eat, she hurriedly went over and hugged Dou Miaoqin's arm, and said with a smile: "Is my sister in a hurry?" I thought I would be back sooner. I was wrong, I won't dare to sneak out next time. β
"You're wrong, but you recognize it quickly." Dou Miaoqin snorted, angry and funny, "I came to see you early this morning with good intentions, you are good, the people below said that you went out before dawn." If it were in the past, it would have been fine, but you just got drenched in a rain, if there is a case, how can you let me and my aunt explain to my mother and grandmother? As he spoke, he glared at her with pity, reached out to pick up Dou Miaojing's bangs, and probed her forehead.
"Luckily, it didn't burn." She let out a long breath and put down her hand, pushed the ginger soup on the table to her sister, and said, "Drink it quickly." At this time, you have to press it well, who told you that you don't like to drink medicine. β
Dou Miaojing smiled and picked up the ginger soup and drank it one by one. The feeling of ginger soup flowing into your mouth is spicy and a little choking. After drinking half a bowl, she couldn't help frowning and stretching out her clove tongue, and complained: "How much old ginger did Zhou Niangzi put in this?" I'm choking to death. β
"It's boiled by Yunshang." Dou Miaoqin stared at her and drank, "As soon as she heard that you had a cold, she got up early in the morning to boil ginger soup for you." Drink quickly, and don't let anything be left. β
Zhou Yunsheng, this girl, is still a little interesting.
Dou Miaojing thought in her heart, she still had to close her eyes and drink the remaining half bowl. After a mouthful, the whole person "boomed" and smeared hot. She rubbed her forehead, her hands wet with sweat.
I felt a little dizzy just now, but I immediately became sober like an enlightenment.
Dou Miaoqin was relieved, picked up the chopsticks and put a crystal shrimp dumpling in the empty plate on Dou Miaojing's side: "Mrs. Zhou knows that you love to eat, so she sent the first net of river shrimp to be bought by the pond." I just ate one, and it's like a live one, fresh. But don't eat too much, the skin is made of powder, and if you eat too much, you won't restrain it. β
Zhou Niangzi is a natural master of cooking, but whatever she has eaten, she can restore it intact. Just like this Cantonese dim sum, she only learned it once from the master, and she made it by herself.
Dou Miaojing ate delicious shrimp dumplings in her mouth, and her heart was more satisfied than ever.
Seeing that the eldest lady didn't blame them, Shaoyue and Yinping also put their hearts in their stomachs, and together with Yingxiang and pothos, they served the two young ladies for dinner.
Dou Miaoqin ate very slowly, and when Dou Miaojing finished eating the second shrimp dumpling, she only drank a few sips of clear porridge. When Dou Miaojing wanted to clip the third, she was glanced at lightly by her sister.
She immediately put down her chopsticks embarrassedly and said, "I'm full." β
"Yingxiang, get down." Dou Miaoqin took out a silk and wiped the corners of her mouth, she had already put down her chopsticks.
Dou Miaojing muttered secretly in her heart: My sister didn't eat much, why was she full? If you want to be the daughter-in-law of a family and can't even eat, what does it mean? She sighed, what's so good about the famous family?
Shaoyue served tea, and the two of them rinsed their mouths and sat down for a while.
"There's something I wanted to ask you yesterday," Dou Miaoqin said with a smile, her tone seemed to be chatting and gossiping, "But you were like yesterday, so I had to press it." β
Dou Miaojing pricked up her ears. She knew her sister, and once she spoke like that, it wasn't such a breezy thing.
She said solemnly: "What does my sister want to ask?" Kaoru from the brother's business? Or something else? β
Dou Miaoqin glanced at her, how could she have taken care of the idle accounts of other rooms, although she knew that Dou Miaojing had gone to visit Dou Xun in the guest house in the morning, but she didn't plan to ask her about Dou Xun. In her heart, the fifth room is the most important.
She quietly skimmed the tea foam and asked as casually as possible: "You asked me to ask for Qianyun, I haven't asked you yet, have you brought my words?" β
Is this the thing?
Dou Miaojing suddenly relaxed a little, and replied with a smile: "I wrote it, do you want me to recite it to you?" β
"That's not necessary, you can just write it." Dou Miaoqin looked at her, as if she was thinking about something, and lost her mind for a moment. Then he asked, "And what else did you write?" The first time you're writing to your father, don't say anything he doesn't like to hear. β
Current affairs - Dou Yuan shouldn't be annoying, right?
He was up and down in the officialdom, and there was no one to talk to in Qianzhou alone, so it stands to reason that her letter was just enough to make her father pour bitter water. It's just that I don't know what my father will tell her, or I don't want the family to worry about him, and I don't want to report good news or bad news.
Dou Miaojing thought about it for a while, and made sure that Dou Yuan would not be angry because of this, so she nodded at her sister with certainty: "I am measured." β
"That's good." Although Dou Miaoqin smiled on her face, she was already a little insincere.
If that is the case, then why did the mother ruin her sister's letter?
She was confused.
The Mrs. Yuan in her mind may not be perfect, and she will even do such a foolish thing as abandoning the second Mrs. Pei and protecting Dou Miaoxian. However, no matter what, Mrs. Yuan Da is not a mother who spives* and controls her children.
She was born in a family of Xinglin, and she can see through life and death and honor and disgrace far more than the women and children of those deep mansions.
Mother must have her own reasons for doing this.
She can't guess the person closest to her with any bad thoughts.
Dou Miaoqin gave up. Although there were 10,000 incomprehensions in my heart, I still chose to believe Mrs. Yuanda.
She saw that it was not too early, so she set off with Dou Miaojing and went to Huaen Pavilion to greet Mrs. Zhou. β»Today's update ~ a little late, sorry! β»γ
