Chapter 70: Dou's
When Huiyu left, Dou complained: "Mother, why do you want the third sister to accompany me, I don't know her well, I don't have anything to say, if something happens on the way, I can't afford it..."
Mrs. Dou touched Dou's face, and said lovingly: "It's always good to have someone to accompany you, the eldest young master has been in the army all the year round, and now you have an unhappiness with your mother-in-law because of the Chunju incident, if there is no one to accompany you, do you have to be in a daze in such an empty courtyard?" ”
Dou was still a little unhappy, and said: "How can it be said that it is an empty courtyard, aren't all the maids and women in this garden human?" ”
Mrs. Dou sighed, her daughter was spoiled before she got married, although she was not bad-hearted, but she had no heart, so she had to say slowly: "How can the next person compare with Miss Girl, the third girl is from the fourth room, and has no interest in the long room, I heard that your mother-in-law had a good relationship with the fourth lady in the past, if you can let her say a few good words about you in front of your mother-in-law, wouldn't it be a better chance for you to fight with that Chunju in the future?" ”
Dou Shi said disdainfully: "What kind of thing is that fox, but it's just a play, that is, it has entered the eyes of the uncle with a little bit of color, if you compete for favor with such a thing, wouldn't it be worth nothing?" ”
Mrs. Dou said: "No matter what her background is, now that she is pregnant with the eldest young master's child, she can't keep her mother and son expensive." Just looking at the fact that your mother-in-law is now placing her in her own small courtyard and not letting you get close, you should know how much the Chu family values the heir..."
Dou Shi was stunned when he heard this, lowered his head and touched his belly, and said gloomily: "But I am the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Subei in this belly......"
Mrs. Dou knew that the matter of Chunju was a big blow to the Dou family, but she couldn't condone Dou no matter how ignorant she was, so she could only stubbornly continue: "The most important thing in the family of military generals is the continuation of incense. You and Chunju don't know that they are pregnant with men and women, if you give birth to a sister-in-law, it doesn't matter, if the girl in your belly is a girl, and Chunju gives birth to a brother, what will be the attitude of the Chu family? Besides, you have been in the door for almost two years before you are pregnant, but Chunju will soon have a movement, and you will lose for this alone. It's always right to prepare for everything, even if Chunju really gives birth to an eldest son, you can win the favor of your mother-in-law, and make the Chu family feel indebted to you, and the Chu family still can't do it if you want to spoil your wife and kill your concubine. ”
Although Dou's mind is simple, after all, he is also from everyone's background, how could Mrs. Dou not understand such a powerful analysis, so she had to grit her teeth, threw herself into Mrs. Dou's arms, and cried: "Mother, why is my daughter's life so bitter......
Mrs. Dou hugged Dou, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted: "Son, which housewife didn't survive like this?" Bear with me, it will pass......"
After the Dou clan was appeased, Mrs. Dou dared to leave. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Liu's mother: "You were a sensible person in the Dou family, and you also took a fancy to this point and let you follow the young grandmother to the Chu family, and now it is the most critical moment for the young grandmother, you have to be optimistic, and you must not let the young grandmother be arrogant." ”
Mother Liu bent down and said in a low voice: "Madam, don't worry, the old slave can save it." ”
The news of Hui Yu coming to accompany Dou every afternoon soon reached Chang's ears, and Chang secretly said: "Mrs. Dou has also worked hard for her daughter, I hope Dou is not the Adou who can't be helped, and it is ...... to keep her body well."
Although the people in the long room were happy to see Hui Yu come to accompany the Dou family, the subordinates of Yurong Courtyard did not understand Hui Yu's actions.
Mother Shi asked: "There is a chrysanthemum in the long room, and there will be wind and rain in the future, why does the girl have to mix with it, in case it is involved in right and wrong, wouldn't it be thankless?" ”
Hui Yu naturally couldn't say that she tried her best to get close to the long house in order to thoroughly investigate the cause of her parents' deaths, so she could only say nonsense: "My aunt takes care of me on weekdays, and now my sister-in-law is unwell, and I can repay my aunt for her care and love for me." Besides, there will be a lot of time to rely on the long house in the future, and it would not be a good thing if I could get along with my aunt and sister-in-law. ”
Mother Shi looked at Huiyu's calm and calm appearance, and said with great relief: "What the girl said is that the old slave has not thought about it well......"
Since you want to accompany the Dou family, you must first find out the details of the Dou family before you can do what he likes. In the Yurong Courtyard, Caiyun can know some things about the long house, so Huiyu pulled her to inquire about the situation of the Dou family.
Caiyun thought about it carefully and told everything he knew.
If it is said that in the northwest frontier, there are few talents, and there are even fewer people who take the road of the imperial examination, then the Dou family is definitely an outlier. The Dou family is a famous family in the northwest, and it is also a scholarly family, and the children of the family are all attached to the imperial examination, and every younger brother is taught that "everything is inferior, only reading is high." ”
Xu is the ancestor of the Dou family's insistence on reading touched the world, since the beginning of the dynasty, several imperial examinations, the children of the Dou family are on the list. Now the smoothest career is the sixth master of the Dou family, Dou Qiming, that is, the sixth uncle of the Dou family.
Although the Dou family is from the Wen and the Chu family is martial, it doesn't matter much, but there are people in the court who are easy to talk to, and the in-laws of the Dou family are also selected by the Marquis of Subei and the Chang family.
Therefore, even if the Dou family entered the door for more than a year and was not pregnant, the Chang family never mentioned that he wanted to take a concubine for the Chu Dynasty. This time he made a scene and climbed into bed, and secretly got married, and the Chu family was supposed to suffer a three-point loss.
And Dou is the young daughter of the Dou family's generation, since she was a child, she has been loved by thousands of people, nothing has happened, after getting married, her husband is the only one in the room, and her mother-in-law is also a good person, and she can't afford to raise Dou's wind and rain.
Therefore, Dou's disease, three points of pretens, seven points of truth, is a heart disease.
Huiyu heard Caiyun narrate Dou's family background, and couldn't help but sigh, the flowers in this greenhouse can't go anywhere......
Caiyun talked about Dou's preferences on weekdays.
Although Dou is a woman, she has always followed her brothers to read and write, and she loves the ink Danqing on weekdays, but she is not good at female red. In his spare time, he also goes to the garden to enjoy the flowers and grass.
Hui Yu thought to herself, fortunately, she doesn't like to play chess and touch the piano, so she is really not good at it, and it is within her ability to accompany her to read books, chat, chat and draw.
On the afternoon of the second day, Huiyu brought a box of rouge paint, took a piece of silk, and went to the Ningcai Courtyard with Caiyun.
Dou knew that Huiyu was coming, so he deliberately dressed up, and looked more energetic than yesterday.
Hui Yu sat on the round stool next to the bed and spoke with Dou Shi: "Sister-in-law looks much better today. Did you sleep well last night? ”
Dou Shi said in a low voice: "I slept very well, thank you for your concern." ”
Hui Yu looked at Dou's reluctance to say more, but she didn't force herself to speak, but only asked Caiyun to bring the silk and give it to Dou, saying that she wanted to make clothes for her future nephew.
Dou touched the satin, the material was very delicate and soft, and it would not scorn the child's delicate skin. His face couldn't help but soften, and he said, "Thank you for your trouble, third sister." ”
Seeing that Dou's face softened, Hui Yu took the opportunity to say again: "Sister-in-law, they all say that pregnant women are the most beautiful, why don't you draw a portrait of you?" ”
Dou was already tired, and he didn't know what to talk to about with Hui Yu, so he nodded in agreement.
So Dou Shi half lay down on the bed to rest, Hui Yu set up the drawing paper, opened the rouge paint, and began to paint.
Dou's appearance can only be regarded as average, but her background in a scholarly family makes her have a good temperament, and with a round face, it is quite pleasing to the eye. This illness has become more delicate, but I feel a little pity.
Because pregnant women should not maintain a posture for a long time, Hui Yu did not carefully outline Dou's facial features and body shape, but used several colors, from dark to shallow, to depict Dou's appearance, the contrast of colors sets off Dou's temperament, which looks beautiful and has a good complexion.
Dou Shi looked at the painting, his face was filled with satisfaction, and he said again and again: "Su Rili has always heard that the third sister is versatile, and today I was able to see the style, and it is really talented, such an ingenious painting method is really unprecedented." ”
Hui Yu is naturally humble in a row.
Dou usually likes Danqing, and is very interested in fresh painting methods, and keeps asking: "Is rouge special?" How are the various colors made? How did you come up with the idea of painting like this? ”
A series of questions made Huiyu almost unable to parry. And the sense of distance that Dou originally exuded disappeared, and he felt a lot more intimate.
Hui Yu thought to herself, it seems that the entry point of painting is the right choice, and she should get along with Dou in the future.
