Chapter 49: The Road Is Narrow
86_86882Before she reached Huaen Pavilion, Dou Zhi happily ran over to greet Sister Dou Miaojing.
His smile is like a flower blooming nowadays, warm and wanton.
"The two sisters told me to wait, why did you come!" He deliberately waited halfway in order to go to Huaen Court with his two sisters.
Qiyu, the personal maid who hurriedly ran over behind him, shouted: "Uncle, be careful, don't run so quickly." When she came to Sister Dou Miaojing, she was still out of breath and panting, giving the two young ladies a look, "Qiyu has seen the eldest lady and the second lady. β
Dou Miaojing looked Qiyu up and down, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for half a year, Qiyu, you are getting better and better." β
Qiyu was praised and blushed for a while, and said: "Where is the slave maid good-looking, it is obvious that the second lady is greedy and wants to eat the zongzi of the slave's hometown, and she thinks the zongzi are good-looking." β
Dou Miaoqin lowered her head and couldn't help laughing.
"Where do I miss your zongzi." Dou Miaojing stomped her feet angrily, "And even if I think about it, it's also because your Jiaxing's zongzi are delicious, if it's not delicious, what am I worried about?" As he spoke, he laughed too.
Speaking of which, she does seem to want to eat zongzi a little. Dou Pei will pass by Jiaxing on his return trip, and he will definitely go home to see Qiyu. Qiyu's grandmother's hand-wrapped zongzi are the most delicious!
She hadn't eaten enough of the breakfast just now.
Qiyu suddenly laughed: "Knowing that the second lady loves to eat, my grandmother packed a big basket and asked the slave maid to bring it over, but it made our second master sad." The hotter the weather, the more difficult the rice dumplings to bring. She secretly laughed.
Dou Pei has always been very strict in front of his subordinates, and it is rare to see him jumping with worry.
As soon as Dou Miaojing heard this, she really respected and loved Dou Pei in her heart. This second uncle is really not bad!
Qiyu continued: "Now they have all been taken to the big kitchen, and when they are cooked, they will definitely be brought over to the two young ladies to taste." β
Dou Miaoqin shook her head: "You didn't give her some rewards, but asked her to ask for food." What is this like? β
"Oh! By the way," Dou Miaojing remembered, and hurriedly asked Shaoyue to give Qiyu ten taels of silver, and said, "It's not for you, it's for your grandmother." It's hard for her to be old, and she has to satisfy my appetite. Next time, it's not allowed to let her old man work so hard, and Mrs. Zhou will also make zongzi. β
Qiyu was flattered and took the silver, and hurriedly gave Dou Miaojing a big gift, saying: "It's not hard, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and my grandmother also wants me to eat zongzi for a festival." β
Although it was a scene, Dou Miaojing felt less guilty in her heart after all.
She grabbed Dou Zhi and walked with Dou Miaoqin to the upper room of Huaen Pavilion.
Babbled and asked, "Why haven't you come in to greet your grandmother these days?" Are you out of the house and don't want to play with us? β
Dou Zhi hurriedly shouted that he was wronged and explained: "I will work with my father to find a place for Uncle Xing." β
Gu Xing?
Dou Miaojing's eyes lit up and asked him, "Did you find it?" β
"Not yet." Dou Zhi pursed his lips and shook his head, "Uncle Xing is a strange person, he doesn't want to live in Guanjie, he is afraid of a lot of people." My father still thought that it would be better to buy a big house with a few entrances directly on Fengqi Street, and he could take care of it more. But he didn't like it, saying that there were too many people here, and it was noisy. Do you say strange? His shop is also in a deserted place, and I don't think it will close in less than half a month. β
This Gu Xing is really a little strange.
As soon as Dou Miaojing thought of him, he unconsciously thought of the big man standing beside him. The expression was cold, and the harmony on Gu Xing's face formed a frightening contrast.
She quietly asked Dou Zhi: "Who was the person standing next to Uncle Xing that day?" β
"Oh, he's Uncle Han." Dou Zhi laughed, raised his head high with a look of adoration, and said, "He's a martial arts master." β
Blow it!
Dou Miaojing pursed her lips, she didn't believe that Dali Siqing's son would have something to do with the forces of the rivers and lakes.
Dou Miaoqin saw that her sister was chatting happily with Dou Zhi, and she couldn't understand what they were whispering, so she walked in front and said a few polite words to Qiyu, just to talk about the things they had on the way to Shandong, whether it was hard or not.
When I came to the upper room, I was surprised to find that the Luo Tai'an in the third room and Mrs. Su in the sixth room were both here with Mrs. Zhou.
The three old ladies were chatting happily.
Dou Miaoru, who was with Luo Tai'an, saw Dou Miaojing at a glance. She raised a smile at Dou Miaojing, and quietly leaned over and said, "Miaojing, you are finally here." β
Luo Tai'an just glanced at Dou Miaoru and went with her.
Dou Miaojing didn't squint, pulled Dou Zhi, and stepped forward with Dou Miaoqin to greet Mrs. Zhou.
In her eyes, there is no shadow of her at all!
Dou Miaoru bit her lip angrily, and returned to Luo Tai'an's side very unwillingly.
"I just found out this morning that you were raining yesterday?" Old Mrs. Zhou held Dou Miaojing's little hand and asked with great concern, revealing a hint of nervousness between her eyebrows.
Dou Miaojing didn't have time to speak, and Mrs. Zhou asked Mama Xue again: "Which girl accompanied the second lady to Jiaoyutai yesterday?" β
Mama Xue was in case Mrs. Zhou would ask, so she had already inquired clearly. But she also knew in her heart that when she was in Yunluju, Mrs. Yuan wanted to send Shaoyue, so Dou Miaojing blocked it.
She is like a human being, and she will not blame Dou Miaojing because she wants to please Mrs. Zhou.
Then he said: "It's Miss Shaoyue, the old slave heard that when the second lady came back, it was Miss Shaoyue who kept holding an umbrella to protect the second lady from the rain." It's just that the rain is a little heavier, and her little one wants to shelter from the wind and rain, so she can't help but be a little overwhelmed. β
Mrs. Zhou groaned and glanced at Dou Miaojing: "Remember to find a place to shelter from the rain next time." "My granddaughter knows that it is so close to Zhuxi Xunying, it's not that she can't shelter from the rain, it's probably because Dou Miaojing doesn't want to go there to shelter from the rain. and Dou Xun also came together, the temperament of these two people was added together, and when they saw Dou Pan looking for it, they had to walk around, how could they bump into it by themselves.
Therefore, she didn't plan to send Shaoyue.
Shaoyue, who was waiting at the door, heard it in her ears, and finally a hanging heart fell to the ground gently.
The eldest girl of Huaen Pavilion, Sandalwood, laughed at her for being strong on the outside, and the old lady Zhou didn't say anything, she was already scared to death.
The old lady Zhou in the upper room had already brought Dou Miaojing and Dou Zhi, sitting beside her on the left and right. Dou Miaoqin smiled and refilled tea for Luo Tai'an and Mrs. Su. Luo Tai'an praised Dou Miaoqin again, and by the way, he pushed Dou Miaoru, who was standing beside him like a wood, and said: "If only Miaoru could have half of Miaoqin, Erlang's family would not be picking bones in the eggs all day long." β
Mrs. Bo's second wife is not from a high background, and no one in the family reads, but she is an ordinary businessman, which Dou Huaifei likes, and Luo Tai'an people don't like it at the beginning. But the second wife of Bo added Ding to the third room in the second year after passing the door, and it was difficult for Luo Tai'an to say anything.
Dou Miaoru has been in her life, and she hates to compare others with her the most.
When Mrs. Bo Er was at home, she always nagged in her ear, saying how the eldest aunt's wife, Dou Rouyu, couldn't stay at her mother-in-law's house in the first place, and how much face the Dou family lost and how much silver they lost. In the end, I always stabbed her a few more words, saying that if she dared to be like Mrs. Auntie, she would simply die outside, and she didn't want the water that was spilled.
When she was young, she knew that she could only rely on herself in this life.
Hearing that her grandmother compared herself with her sister again, Dou Miaoru's heart suddenly burst into flames.
