After closing his eyes for a long time, Dou Pei finally let out a long breath.

Shang Qing came in and saw the master standing in front of the window lattice, so he said: "Although it is summer, it is still a little cold at night, so you should also put on some clothes." As he spoke, he took the cover that Dou Pei was accustomed to wearing and draped it over his shoulders.

Since the death of Pei's second wife, except for Qiyu, who is still serving Dou Zhi, the other maids who were originally serving the two of them were all sent away by Dou Pei. Over the years, there hasn't even been a shoulder pinching and backbeat around him, and no one has ever asked him about his warmth and coldness.

Dou Pei was relieved, knowing that there must be something wrong with Shang Qing coming in at this time, so he said, "What's wrong?" ”

"The Sixteenth Master of Gu Zhai sent someone over." Shang Qing said respectfully.

Dou Pei's eyebrows twitched, and he was very surprised: "Now? "It's so late, what happened to Gu Xing? Or did this kid Dou Zhi cause some trouble for himself?

He raised his chin and said, "Invite someone in." ”

What came was Heming, who had a kind smile on his face, and said to Dou Pei: "I've seen the second master." ”

Dou Pei politely helped him and said with a smile: "Why did your grandfather send you here?" Looking behind him, he didn't see Dou Zhi, so he was a little puzzled, "Brother Zhi'er has caused you trouble, right?" ”

Previously, it was Han Mo who pinched Dou Zhi's bones, saying that it was a good material for practicing the style, and let him consider it. If you plan to do business with Dou Zhi, it is good to learn some of these fists and feet kung fu, firstly, you can sharpen your temperament, and secondly, you will have martial arts when you walk outside, and you will not panic when things come to an end. But later Dou Pei figured it out, seeing that the eldest brother had no hope of having an heir, and there was only one Dou Zhi on his side. The incense of the fifth room was all tied to him. If he insists on letting his son still do this business, then why is the eldest brother in the camp for half his life? What's more, Brother Zhi himself is also angry, unlike him who is not a piece of reading material. He is learning what is like anything. If you want your family to prosper and grow, you still have to go through the official path. It's just that in this way, it is not so necessary to learn kung fu or not.

Dou Pei had only spoken in front of Brother Zhi'er, but he didn't expect this little guy to remember it well, and he kept asking Han Mo for advice. This time he went back, but it was an opportunity he had been thinking about for a long time.

Heming still has that good-natured smile, so that people can't see the love. He said: "The second master is too worried. Uncle Zhi is good! The sixteenth master sent the little one to give Uncle Zhi some homework. But don't talk about Dou Zhi being picked up by Dou Miaojing.

Dou Pei pondered.

The homework in his mouth refers to Brother Zhi'er's fists and feet. Gu Xing sent him to Dou's family to teach Dou Zhi. That is to say, it is not good to go back to the farm house often in the future. He was very eye-catching, and without asking why, he asked Shang Qing to clean up the guest room. Let Heming stay in Februaryxuan for the time being.

Heming smiled and went with Shang Qing.

Wait for Shang Qing to turn back. Dou Pei instructed: "Go to Zhuangzi to see if Brother Zhi'er is also there." Although I asked, I was sure in my heart.

Shang Qing said "yes", and turned back when he left: "Second master, there are some things that the slave doesn't know whether to say or not." ”

Dou Pei said "um", half-squinted, and said, "You say." ”

Shang Qing was a very cautious person, and he sorted out the words in his heart a little. Then he said, "I don't know what you think, the slave thinks." This Gu Gongzi Gu Jieyuan is a little strange. He acts strangely, but he is not mysterious, it is not the way of a villain, and the slave does not dare to say anything in character, but in this identity, you must not be cautious. The people of the Gu family did say that Gu Gongzi went south to play, but you see that this Gu Gongzi gave up hundreds of acres of land and bought the old lady's shop, and there was no ambiguity in the money. The little one also heard it in private, and Na Tan was shouting not the sixteenth master......"

Gu Zhuoyan is the secretary of Dali Temple, and his annual income is only a little. Besides, as rich as the Dou family, buying land, buying a shop still needs to be considered, but this Gu Xing silver is like splashing water. Dou Pei himself had also seen the mud pond where lotus root was to be planted, and at that time he only felt that Gu Xing was stupid to blindly want to make money, just digging the mud pond cost a lot of manpower and money, and how many lotus roots did it take to earn it back. But he was an outsider, and he only smiled when he saw it, and he didn't say anything.

Now hearing Shang Qing say this, he suddenly frowned. He made a package ticket in front of Mrs. Zhou, and there was no doubt about Gu Xing's identity. Looking at his behavior, he is naturally not a petty person, and he should have no intentions for the Dou family. I'm afraid that his identity is not clean and he will cause some trouble.

Seeing that the main family was so suspicious, Shang Qing smiled instead, making Dou Pei feel relieved: "Master don't worry, it must not be easy to think of him as high-profile." ”

Dou Pei nodded solemnly and waved him to hurry up.

This night, he didn't sleep steadily, until the dawn of the day Shang Qing came back, knocked on the door and said outside, "Uncle Zhi and the old lady are together", he was tormented by the hazy sleepiness and slept lightly for a while.

At the end of the day, Mrs. Zhou's carriage finally came back and got off outside the second gate, and Mrs. Luo Tai'an and Mrs. Su left separately. Dou Miaojing accompanied Mrs. Su until she sent people to Yifengzhu.

A little maid came out happily and said, "The old man has sent a letter." ”

Mrs. Su raised her eyebrows and immediately asked the little maid to bring the letter. The little maid also had rules for doing things, and she handed the letter to Mama Jiang and stood aside, thinking that Mrs. Su must have something to ask.

Dou Miaojing delayed for a while, Mrs. Su pulled her to open the letter together, looked at a few lines, and her slightly condensed brows finally stretched completely. Laughing angrily, Mama Jiang put the letter into the box, and said, "Strange scared me, I thought that in a few days, he would be in Tianjin." ”

Just a letter announcing a safe journey.

But when Dou Miaojing saw that Mama Jiang received the letter in the box, there were many letters lying in it that were "personally opened by my mother", which must have been sent home by Dou Zhan at any time outside, so that the widowed mother could feel at ease.

She suddenly felt that in fact, this smiling uncle Zhan was quite reliable.

After reading the letter, Mrs. Su urged her to go back and rest earlier.

She happily went back to the tea garden. I met Dou Miaoqin halfway, she was withdrawing from Hua'en Pavilion, and when she saw her, she picked them up and said with a smile: "Grandmother asked you to go back to Yunluju directly, and after days of hard work, she asked us to rest for a day and then go to her old man's house to talk." He whispered again, "Aunt Mei is going to see the second uncle......

Dou Miaojing's eyes lit up, but then she faded and muttered, "I don't know if the second uncle will see it." ”

"Brother Zhi went with me." The implication is that Dou Zhi will get it done.

The two sisters didn't hold hands and talked all the way, and went to Yunluju.

And Dou Miaoru has been a little inexplicable since she went out yesterday. Wang Zining pulled Dou Miaojing and left like that, and she hasn't shown up since, so what is her promise to herself? They left halfway through, what happened? She pondered up and down in her heart for a long time, and she couldn't tell anyone in the end, so she had to think about it by herself.

said that Gu Xing was there, and Tan knelt on a brick in the algae floating garden. (To be continued......)
