Things came too suddenly, and Yu Daqing barely managed to settle the accounts with some jewelry from his wife.

Dou Xiuchang arranged for the audit of the Dou Mansion's treasury, and when he saw that the accounts were consistent, he asked Yu Daqing to delineate the account. My aunt gave me two hundred taels of silver, as well as some porcelain, screens and other rewards, and chose an auspicious day to set up a banquet to see off Mama Yu's family.

In Zhending County, it was rumored that the seventh master of the Dou family was going to marry a wife, and the first seven *** personal mothers were honored, and the Dou family rewarded her with a lot of silver for her retirement.

When Mama Yu's carriage left the city gate, someone quietly measured the marks rolled out of the carriage.

Later, someone in the Dou family heard that Mama Yu's family encountered robbers when they went back, not only were their belongings looted, but Mama Yu was frightened and died within a few days. Yu Daqing was slashed, and although he saved his life as a Chapter 50 helper, he was left disabled and couldn't take care of himself from then on......

And the aunt saw that the matter had been dealt with almost completely, so she said goodbye to the female relatives of the Dou Mansion: "...... Aunt Shou and her uncle are still waiting for me to go back for the New Year, so Aunt Shou will ask you. ”

Whether it was the second wife or several wives, they all responded happily.

After sending off his aunt, the Dou family began to prepare for the New Year.

After Zhao Guqiu's death, the affairs of the Xifu side were taken care of by Dou Shibang and his wife, this year because of Dou Zhao's affairs in the middle, the Winter Solstice Festival invited Dou Duo to come over to eat dumplings, Dou Duo was frozen in the cold, and he was unwell and pushed it. Dou Shibang was a little unsure, so he specially asked the second wife to show it.

The second lady went to Xifu: "...... Although the consent form was obtained, no ceremony was held, and the Wang family was not justified after all. I think she might as well let her follow the third daughter-in-law to help her this year. It can be regarded as learning how to preside over the feed, and next year's New Year, our two families will have their own lives! ”

Dou Duo responded lightly.

Wang Yingxue was called to the third wife to help.

Naturally, she was overjoyed, thinking about her first experience. Neither too shabby nor too luxurious, the hair was neatly tied in a bun. Wearing a half-new and not old red Yutangchun makeup gown, he only helped to drop a red gold and a little oil ear on the ear in the fiftieth chapter, and went to Dongfu neatly and modestly.

The third lady was reconciling with the housekeeper's mother, and when she saw her coming in, she just looked up and said, "You're here", so she asked the maid to bring her an embroidered pier: "You watch from the side first, if you don't understand anything, ask me again." "Between words. There are already housekeepers and decent big girls who come and go, go and come, and a small side room, which is endless.

Wang Yingxue lived in Kyoto for a period of time when she was a child, and she also followed her mother to some high-ranking households. Those people's New Year's celebrations are also like now. She didn't think it was wrong, and said warmly, "Third wife, you are busy with you, don't worry about me", sat on the embroidery pier, and watched the third lady show in all directions.

The mother's account is not correct, and she argues with the third wife: "When the uncle and wife of the Zhao family in Xifu came over, there was a feast at home, and the cost of tea and wine was more than in the past......

When Wang Yingxue heard the word "Xifu", she immediately pricked up her ears.

"It's normal to have more than ever." The third wife said, "It's thirty percent more than in the past, isn't it too much?" The third lady said, flipping through the account, "Look, this is the family's expenses when the sixth master was raised." Look at the ...... when Mrs. Zhao's uncle came over"

"The sixth master was still in mid-autumn at that time, but the uncle and wife of the Zhao family left after the winter solstice, and as soon as the winter solstice passed, the price of chicken, duck and fish meat ......"

"Before the winter solstice, aren't the Granges going to send things over?" The third lady was unmoved, "Why are you still going out to buy it?" ”

"The uncle and wife of the Zhao family have lived in Xiaoxue since mid-autumn." The mother in charge was so anxious that the corners of her mouth were bubbling, and she saw that Wang Yingxue was dressed in half-new clothes, and she was very faceless, just as she was the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper, while talking to the third wife, she pointed to Wang Yingxue: "Go, pour me a cup of tea!" ”

"Me?" Wang Yingxue was stunned and looked at the third wife.

The third wife and the housekeeper mother glared at each other like cockfights.

Wang Yingxue looked at the third wife's maid and mother-in-law again, but none of them made a sound, so she had to get up slowly and pour a cup of tea for the mother in charge.

But in the end, she was indignant, and she quietly asked the little maid: "What does this housekeeper mother do?" ”

"You said Mother Dou," the little maid looked at her hand and said with a smile, "She is the wife of our Dou steward, and she is the most upright. Then he asked her curiously, "Which head of the house are you from?" How come I have never met you? Is it the new steward's lady? ”

Wang Yingxue regretted that she was dressed too plainly, and the next day she combed a fallen horse bun, wore a large jade flower, and wore a green makeup jacket, which was full of brilliance.

Everyone who came in to do the service smiled and nodded at her, and asked who the third lady was.

"It's Aunt Wang of Dongfu."

Those people looked at her again, a little more curious, a little exploratory, and even a little disdainful, and when they were eating, those maids and women looked at her in twos and threes, and as soon as she turned around, those people let out a burst of ambiguous laughter.

Wang Yingxue was ashamed and annoyed, regretting that she was dressed too eye-catchingly, and the whole day passed like pins and needles.

Back at Qixia Courtyard, Mama Hu told her: "The second lady sent Mama Liu to take Sister Ming over." said that it was almost the New Year, you have to follow the third wife to learn housekeeping, Sister Ming has no one to take care of, just hug her over and be a companion to the fourth lady. ”

Dou Ming has never left Wang Yingxue when he is so old, Wang Yingxue is like being cut meat, at this time, it is not good to go to Dongfu to pick people back, and complain to Mama Hu: "Why don't you send someone to tell me?" When I came back, I hugged Sister Ming back. ”

Mama Hu said in her heart, who knew that no one in Dongfu would inform you!

But he didn't dare to say this, so he had to admit his mistake with sincerity.

Wang Yingxue was worried for a while that Dou Ming was not used to leaving, and she was noisy in the middle of the night; For a while, I was worried that the people in the second wife's house were arrogant and did not take good care of Dou Ming; After a while, he was worried that Dou Zhao was bullying Dou Ming, tossing and turning, didn't sleep all night, and went to Dou Duo after freshening up.

"I'm going to Dongfu." She respectfully explained her whereabouts to Dou Duo, and then smiled in a casual tone, "The second lady took Sister Ming over, saying that she was going to let her be a companion with Aunt Shou, you see, when will we bring Aunt Shou and Sister Ming back?" ”

The second wife said hello to Dou Duo about this matter, Dou Duo knew that the so-called "busy" was an excuse, the second wife looked down on the Wang family, afraid that she would teach the child badly, and he didn't want to see these two girls - one shared half of his family property, and the other was adulterous/childless, all of which were not good things! When I see it, I feel annoyed. I thought that if the Wang family didn't make such a fuss, he married in a serious way, and added a grandson to him, and there was a grandfather like Wang Xingyi, who was not ambiguous wherever he went, and he would be satisfied. It's just that the sky doesn't go according to people's wishes...... He was even annoyed when he saw Wang Yingxue, and said in an unkind tone: "You do your own thing first, don't be blind." The house is in such a mess, where do you let the two children stand? ”

Wang Yingxue didn't get what she said, but was reprimanded, she was very aggrieved, and she bit her lip and went to Dongfu.

At noon, the third lady left her for lunch and asked her, "Is there anything you don't understand?" ”

She originally wanted to go to the second wife to see Dou Ming, but the third lady kept her, how could she refuse, standing aside as a junior to serve the third wife for lunch, and when the third wife asked her, she smiled and said: "I see that everything in the family is the old routine, look for the old accounts, I think I can get twice the result with half the effort." Then he said humbly, "I don't know if what I said is right or not, and I ask the third wife to correct it." ”

"In the end, it is from an official family," the third lady said with a smile, "You can understand it at a glance, and you can understand it at a glance." It's not like me, I don't understand anything, and I don't remember it after watching it for a long time. Later, the third master sued me, and I found some way...... "I was very kind to her."

Wang Yingxue accompanied the third wife to talk, and in the afternoon, she accompanied the third wife to the warehouse to count the New Year's storage.

It's time to get busy.

Her maid Qiongfang came over and replied: "The second lady has the key there." ”

Wang Yingxue returned to Xifu tiredly, and the next day she followed the third wife to several monasteries and gave the next year's incense money.

In this way, after a few days of busy things today and tomorrow, she suddenly found that she hadn't seen Dou Ming for seven or eight days, and no one told her what happened to Dou Ming. She was in a hurry, and vaguely felt that the people in Dongfu were doing it on purpose, so she left the half-counted treasury and went to the second lady.

The maid and mother-in-law didn't stop her, and welcomed her in with a smile.

Ji and Dou Zhao are there.

Seeing her come in, Ji nodded with a smile, but it was Dou Zhao who called Aunt Wang affectionately.

Wang Yingxue stepped forward to salute the second wife.

The second lady wore a rabbit with gray squirrel skin, leaned obliquely on the big pillow near the window, held a crocus cloisonné enamel box in her hand, and asked her with a smile: "What, where did the third child rest?" ”

Don't say that the third wife is busy at this time, even if the third wife has nothing to do at home, in front of the second wife, Wang Yingxue doesn't dare to say it!

"The third lady is so busy that her feet don't touch the ground," she said busily, "I thought I hadn't seen Aunt Shou and Sister Ming for a few days, so I came here to have a look." ”

The second lady listened, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "The Wu family came over to send the New Year's gift, and the fifth young master and the seventh miss of the Wu family also came, and I asked them to take Sister Ming over to visit the door." ”

The Wu family refers to Yuer's mother's family.

Wang Yingxue heard that she was slightly relieved.

Yu's second grandmother is also from an official eunuch family, her grandfather once served as a county magistrate, and her uncle Wu Songnian is now in the Hanlin Academy, and the fifth young master and seventh lady of the Wu family refer to Wu Songnian's eldest son Wu Shan and eldest daughter Wu Ya.

The thought flashed, and Wang Yingxue was suspicious again.

That Wu Shan is seven years old this year, Wu Ya is four years old, and Dou Zhao is about the same age, why did Sister Ming go to Dou Zhao but didn't go?
