86_86882 Dou Miaojing lay in Yunluju for several days, and on the day she removed the fine gauze, she and her sister went to Hua'en Pavilion to greet her grandmother, Mrs. Zhou.

Who knew that Mrs. Zhou was meeting guests, and Sandalwood was guarding outside. She said with a smile: "The second master brought a guest, saying that he was greeting the old lady." ”

Dou Yuan's younger brother Dou Pei is responsible for the chores of the five rooms. At the beginning, the ancestors were divided, and the six houses had their own livelihoods, and the big houses and three rooms and the five rooms and six rooms followed the meaning of the ancestors, and sold half of the industry at hand to buy land, and the remaining half was led by the big house, and the second and fourth rooms were handed over to take care of it, and the profit was obtained from it every year. But this verbal agreement who knows when and which generation will be a scoundrel, so since Dou Pei took over the affairs of the fifth room, the properties of the fifth room are still taken care of by himself.

Dou Pei is often not in Lin'an, and is always running around. In Dou Miaojing's impression, the second uncle is a very cautious person and very filial, and his friends will not come to sit at home when they are free.

Sandalwood led the two to the side room for tea.

Dou Miaoqin said: "The one who can let the second uncle bring him to see his grandmother must be a character." She gently blew the foam from the tea, took a sip of it, put it down, and took out a silk to wipe her mouth.

"Maybe it's my grandmother." Dou Miaojing said casually.

Dou Miaoqin was stunned: "Yes, why didn't I think of it." Miaojing, you've become smarter. ”

Dou Miaojing blushed, she didn't know why she suddenly thought like this. Looking at her sister's approving gaze, she was very uncomfortable. All along, she felt that she was not very much like her father and mother, and her brain was not enough, so it was more inferiority than introversion. The softer she speaks in front of people, the easier it is to make mistakes and be criticized, and after thinking about it, she doesn't dare to say it, for fear that she thinks too much.

I didn't know what was going on just now, but my brain got the words out. Fortunately, the person who listened was my sister.

She explained hesitantly: "My sister is right...... If it weren't for a person, even if he asked his grandmother, the second uncle would definitely not bring it in. ”

Dou Miaoqin's expression suddenly brightened, pinched Dou Miaojing's fleshy face, and said happily: "You are so right, I didn't think about it so much just now." It seems that Brother Pu Cong unintentionally inserted willows into the shade, did he understand the beauty of our family? ”

Dou Miaojing's face turned red: "Was I confused before?" ”

"Well-it's not confusing, it's boring. You're a stuffy gourd! Dou Miaoqin giggled.

My sister is so beautiful.

Dou Miaojing smiled shyly, extremely envious of her sister. I really don't understand where this pile of meat on my body came from...... Why is my sister so slim? They all eat about the same thing...... Dou Miaojing thought of a word - "brain full of fat intestines", which may be to describe himself. Wouldn't it be scary if she smiled like her sister?

"Sister, if you talk to me more in the future, maybe I'll be enlightened." She said that she also wanted to be like her sister, not only beautiful, but also able to handle everyone calmly. Even- even the horrible old lady of the longhouse.

Dou Miaoqin nodded solemnly: "The ancients said that great wisdom is foolish, I think you are like this." But the ancients were foolish, and you, perhaps you underestimated yourself. Miaojing, you are the daughter of the Yuan Governor's Mansion, you stomped your feet in the Dou family, and no one dared to say anything about you. You don't have to look ahead and backward when you speak later. ”

Yes, she has a father who is a prefect, what else is she afraid of in the Dou family?

She grabbed Dou Miaoqin's arm and said coquettishly: "It's good that my sister will tell me this." If one day—"

One day the Dou family is gone, so what should I do?

Dou Miaojing was excited, and remembered the long and terrible dream.

"Sister, has Daddy written back recently?" She asked in a roundabout way.

Dou Miaoqin was inexplicable when she said half of what she said, and when she heard her sister talk about her father, she thought that she must have missed her father. sighed slightly and said: "There was one a few days ago, but you are still asleep, and my mother doesn't know how to return to my father, for fear that my father will know that your affairs will increase his worries, so I put it on hold for the time being." I don't know if I've been back in the past few days. Is there anything you'd like to say to Dad? ”

"Nope." Dou Miaojing hurriedly shook his head, "In Dad's letter, did you mention the current politics?" ”

"When did you become concerned about this?" Dou Miaoqin was surprised. But fortunately, he didn't suspect anything, and after thinking for a while, he said, "What is Dad doing when he talks to our women and children about current affairs?" Even if you want to say it, you have to tell the second uncle. ”

"Yes......" Dou Miaojing patted his forehead suddenly. My sister praised herself for being smart, and she was stupid again.

Sandalwood came in at this time and said with a smile: "The second master is leaving, and the old lady asked the slave maid to come over and invite the young ladies." Anyway, I also asked the second master to say goodbye, and the second master kept talking about the two young ladies. ”

The two of them got up, thinking about seeing the second uncle, and their hearts were overjoyed. Usually Dou Pei came back from a long trip, and always brought some strange and interesting things to their relatives who were wrapped in Lin'an, but this time he just came back from Jinan Mansion, and he didn't know what he brought.

Dou Miaojing thought in her heart: She had to ask her second uncle side-by-side if her father had told him something about the court. Perhaps from here, we can confirm what the dream really means.

The two of them came on their toes and saluted Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou is forty-six years old but has full of gorgeous hair, the old lady died early, and she is a widow pulling her two sons, you can imagine how hard it is. Fortunately, Dou Yuan has a long face for the fifth room, and Mrs. Zhou can afford it wherever she goes, after all, she has raised a son of a jinshi, who is the widow of those families, and a few of them can be like this.

Seeing her two granddaughters, one slim and slender and elegant, and the other plump and lovely, round and round like a snow ball, Mrs. Zhou's heart was as sweet as eating honey. She was widowed at a young age, and she had to take two sons, so she didn't dare to show off anything. So she didn't wear a few bright clothes or a few chic pieces of jewelry at that time. Now that her granddaughters have grown up, she is happy to see them dressed beautifully and beautifully.

She is not one of those pedantic old women in the family, she always has a lot of scruples. She is the daughter of a merchant family, and there are not so many rules.

hurriedly hugged the two lovely people, and happily looked at Dou Peinu: "Go and say hello to your second uncle." ”

The two of them went over obediently, and were about to salute, but they were supported by Dou Peixu: "Miaojing is still recuperating and her body has not recovered, don't make such a big salute." ”

"Second sister, I heard that Brother Pu Cong made a stumbling block for you? This man is really bad. Second sister is not afraid, when I grow up, I see if he dares to bully you. Beside Dou Pei, a child in a fine satin brocade robe said.

Dou Miaojing laughed and reached out to pinch his face: "Do you want to fight with him?" Uncle Zhi wants to study hard and become a champion in the future, which is much better than beating him. "On weekdays, others pinch her face, and only when she sees Dou Zhi can she relieve the itch.

Dou Zhi took Dou Pei's hand and said proudly: "I'm good at reading, Dad, isn't it?" Do you think I'm smarter than Brother Pu Cong? ”

Dou Pei couldn't cry or laugh, this son was only nine years old, and he was ashamed to say anything. If you accidentally praise him, he can blow himself up in the blink of an eye.

Mrs. Zhou pulled Dou Miaojing's hand and carefully examined the back of her head: "I'm afraid I'm going to have a scar." This Dou Pu, at a young age, has more eyes than a sieve. It's not the first time that our family Miaojing has suffered his loss, Brother Zhi is right, you have grown up, but you have to protect your two sisters. ”

Dou Yuan's only regret is that he has no children under his knees. Mrs. Yuan originally planned to go with him to the post, but she couldn't let go of her two daughters and kept delaying. Mrs. Zhou knew it in her heart, but when she thought about the age of the two, I was afraid that there was no hope. That's why she said this to Dou Zhi, as if she was telling Dou Zhi, but in fact, she still told Dou Pei to let him go out less so that he could take care of the house.

Dou Zhi nodded seriously, and just when everyone was quite happy, he said solemnly: "There is also a sister." I also want to protect my sister......"

Mrs. Zhou's heart suddenly suddenly, and she looked at her youngest son with some trepidation.

Brother Zhi is talking about Dou Pei's youngest daughter
