Chapter 6 Eavesdropping
86_86882The corners of Dou Pei's mouth, which was still smiling and groaning just now, sank in an instant.
It's not angry, it's a touch of sadness.
Dou Miaojing knew that the second uncle also had a daughter, who had been raised in Beizhuang. Mrs. Zhou urged him to bring the child back several times, but Dou Pei did not respond. After so many times, Mrs. Zhou was like a mirror in her heart, and she never mentioned it again.
The atmosphere was slightly stiff, and Dou Miaojing felt that her grandmother was a little embarrassed. As if he was not very sensible, he asked Dou Pei: "What did the second uncle gain from this trip to Shandong?" β
Dou Pei smiled gratefully, knowing that she was helping herself out. I didn't expect to see each other for a few months, but this second nephew is much more lively.
Before he could speak, Brother Zhi shouted: "There are many springs in Jinan Mansion, so big and so small, all of them." He gestured exaggeratedly, his eyes rolled darkly, and he said brightly, "The big man is so tall, taller than my father." But they eat green onions, and the men eat the womenβI don't like them. That's sweet, though. At the end, he nodded solemnly, as if it was something he had been thinking about for a long time.
Mrs. Zhou was so amused that she forgot the embarrassment just now.
Dou Pei cried and laughed and knocked the back of Brother Zhi'er's head: "You talk a lot." β
Wufang is quite contradictory to Dou Zhi's future development. This Brother Zhi is smart, it's not that he boasted just now, he does have some talent in reading. But at the same time, he is sharp and sharp, and he can be regarded as a business talent at a young age. Mrs. Zhou's intention was to let Dou Zhi grow up more, so she simply followed his uncle to take office, and Dou Yuan guided him to study. But Dou Pei didn't seem to think so. Since Dou Zhi was sensible, he has always taken this son with him, and he has traveled north and south, he is only nine years old, and he has already gone through most of the year.
Dou Zhi stuck out her tongue, took Dou Miaojing's hand and said, "Second sister, I brought you good things, let's goβI'll take you to see." β
Dou Miaojing looked at Dou Pei and smiled embarrassedly, her grandmother and sister were present, and she didn't seem to be able to ask her second uncle anything. Looking at Mrs. Zhou again, wondering if Dou Zhi would know something, or just let him go? She had an idea.
Mrs. Zhou squinted, the more she looked at Dou Zhi, the more she liked it in her heart, and waved her hand again and again: "Go, go and go, Ah Nan, you follow him, just go and see what the hell is going on." β
Dou Miaoqin covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother Zhi'er, don't be naughty, your second sister is still sick." β
"Okay." Dou Zhi solemnly agreed. The two men saluted the elders and went out of the main room.
When the ancestor of the Dou family was about to settle the property, he occupied almost the entire Fengqi Street. Today's Dou people are not very prosperous, so the big houses, three rooms, five rooms and six rooms in Lin'an, their respective gardens are ridiculously large. The position of the five rooms occupies the middle, and the east side is connected to the big house where the three lords live, and the west side is each touched by the three rooms and six rooms. When it was first prepared, the ancestors also specially invited the old gardeners to give advice, and every pavilion or tree and flower was carefully arranged and deliberately built. When the children of the family who come to the house as guests are envious because of this, the descendants of the Dou family are honored.
Who made you look down on businessmen, there are benefits of being rich!
After Dou Zhi pulled her out of Huaen Pavilion, she ran to the second gate in one breath. Dou Miaojing is fat, but her body is not as flexible as Dou Zhi, she can't catch her breath when she runs, and she is panting like a rag.
She crossed her waist and scolded Dou Zhi: "You...... You little bunny is going to exhaust me to death. β
Dou Zhi was alive and well, not tired at all, and took out a box from his arms with a smile: "Show you something strange." β
Dou Miaojing looked at it, he opened the box, but took out a pocket kite.
The kite of Shandong Kite?!
Dou Miaojing almost lost her eyeballs, and she can make a kite so delicate and delicate, it is none other than a kite.
Dou Zhi threw her an expression that counted you as knowledgeable, and gave her the same delicate thread reel: "Let's try, this place is big and can be put up." β
When Dou Zhi bought this kite, it was still in early spring when she first arrived in Shandong, but she didn't expect to come back in early summer, so naturally the best time to fly a kite had passed. Dou Miaojing had a thread in her hand, and her face was a little weird.
Dou Zhi asked her: "Second sister, don't you like kites the most?" I see there are several hanging on the wall of your house. β
"When I was flying a kite, I was stumped by Brother Pu Cong." Dou Miaojing frowned and said. Dou Pu took advantage of the fact that she had just put the kite up and didn't pay attention, and stretched out his head behind her. The back of her head hit a rock, and blood flowed from the spot. Later, the aunt said that it was fine, but the strange thing was that she never woke up. Recently, Wufang has been in a melancholy atmosphere because of this incident, and it wasn't until she woke up that she got better.
In fact, in those days, she was addicted to her dreams, so she couldn't wake up, right?
Dou Miaojing thought blankly.
As soon as Dou Zhi heard Dou Pu, she became angry: "The black sheep." If you stop flying kites because of him, won't you suffer yourself? What's the harm to him. β
"Well, how could I be so vulnerable?" Dou Miaojing sighed in her heart. Dou Zhi is still a half-old child, but she has this courage and knowledge, it seems that the fifth room can still prosper for decades - but...... She thought about it again, and remembered the qiΔ in her dream. If the Dou family is gone, and the Dou family, whether they are old or weak, women and children, are all killed, wouldn't it be a pity for Dou Zhi's talent?
She sighed several times with a gloomy expression.
Dou Zhi was so angry that she jumped wildly: "Can you let it go?" You women are really troublesome, stepping on an ant to death can also hurt the spring and autumn for a long time. No wonder my father doesn't continue to be filial piety, if I bring a stepmother back, my father and I are afraid that we will be in trouble to death. β
"......" What nonsense is this little kid! Dou Miaojing's face turned red and glared at him, "If you want me to let it go, you have to answer me a few questions." β
Dou Zhi pouted: "What do you want to say to me?" β
Dou Miaojing's heart suddenly froze, and she was embarrassed to ask directly. Actually, it's just a clichΓ©...... was actually seen through by a nine-year-old child at a glance.
She was apprehensive: "It's not to trap you, it's just to test you." If you can't answer, you don't know, you don't read enough. β
"Oh......" Dou Zhi is still young after all, how can she know Dou Miaojing's calculations.
Dou Miaojing cleared her throat, pulled him to sit under the tree, and asked, "Has your father received a letter from your uncle recently?" β
Dou Zhi tilted her head: "What does this have to do with my reading?" The little eyes looked at Dou Miaojing, clearly questioning.
"It's related anyway." Dou Miaojing knocked on his head, "Say it quickly." β
"Yes......" Dou Zhi pushed her hand away and glared at her, "Don't knock on my head in the future, you'll be knocked stupid." β
Dou Miaojing didn't think Dou Zhi was so funny before, she had the impression that Dou Zhi was always like a little adult, making her a sister, but very naΓ―ve and ridiculous. So in the past, she always avoided this younger brother if she could, for fear that someone would deliberately compare the two, and then she would be ashamed.
"Did your father tell you what the letter said?" She asked again.
Dou Zhi looked at Dou Miaojing with disdain: "Second sister, what did you ask your father to tell my father?" Then why don't you just ask your dad or my dad, why bother dealing with me here? β
"How can I inquire about anything...... Dou Miaojing sneered, and was seen through so lightly. It's hard to be a villain......
However, Dou Zhi changed her words, and she didn't seem to have any intention of embarrassing this stupid second sister. said: "My father said that the temple is in turmoil again, and there are many ways to probe and investigate, so it is better to see the right time to do it." β
"Another storm in the temple?" Dou Miaojing's heart sank suddenly.
Dou Zhi shook her head indifferently: "Second sister, why make a fuss. The sky can't fall again! The affairs of the imperial court are changing rapidly, as long as it is not a big death, then it is none of our business. That's what my dad said. β
"......" the corners of Dou Miaojing's mouth twitched a few times.
The second uncle is really big-hearted...... But after having that dream, she didn't think that the affairs of the court had nothing to do with their Dou family. The so-called one leaf knows the autumn, but whenever the court moves a finger, the huge famous family may be wiped out, what about a small Dou family?
Thinking of this, she was suddenly stunned.
That's right, why did she forget to ask Chen Yu in her dream, what happened, but it was only Dou's? Are there any other families? If so, it may be affected by them. Thinking about it this way, she had to pay attention to the people who walked around Su Ri and Dou Shi. Just in case.
"Ahem......" She was thinking about it when there was a coughing sound from the big tree.
Dou Zhi immediately jumped up: "Who is hiding there sneakily eavesdropping on other people's words?" βγ
