Chapter 80: Joy
Bei Suxin met Chen Xiaofeng in the gatehouse of the outer courtyard of the Dou family.
Chen Xiaofeng asked Bei Suxin dejectedly: "You really took refuge in the fourth miss of the Dou family?" β
Bei Suxin smiled: "This kind of thing, am I still coaxing you?" β
Chen Xiaofeng was silent for a long time.
Don't Su Xin said: "If the senior brother is fine, I will go back first, I am learning the rules from the sixth lady over there in Dongfu these days." Then he said, "The Dou family has a lot of mouths, and there are many servants in the family, our sisters only entered the house when they were so old, and they were already eye-catching, if everyone heard that we were called senior brothers and sisters, I was afraid that we would be more curious about our sisters, and I would still call my senior brother the eldest brother in the future!" He asked again, "When will Brother Chen follow Chen out of the customs?" If there is anything at home, we can ask my aunt to send someone to tell us, Miss Joy is very good in Chapter 80 of the Dou family, and we can take the time to see my aunt. β
Hearing her say this, Chen Xiaofeng was even more ashamed: "I followed Chen Cripple out of the customs, and I also wanted him to give out a lot of silver, and I want to help you." Now that you all have something to rely on, and my mother doesn't want me to leave home, Chen Cripple is there, and I have already resigned. β
Don't say "oh" in your heart, noncommittal.
There was a commotion at the gate.
Chen Xiaofeng and Bei Suxin both looked over.
Then he saw two dusty black and flat-topped carriages parked at the door of the West Dou, and the steward Duane lifted the curtain and helped a man of about fifty years old to get out of the carriage.
The man was of medium height, with a white face and beard, and wore a royal blue tuanhua straight jacket, with the elegance of a scholar.
He looked up at the gate of the Dou family, and Du An introduced on the side: "This is our master's ancestral home." Mr. Song, please! β
The man known as Mr. Song smiled and followed Duane into the house.
Over there, Dou Zhao had already received a letter. said that Mr. Xixi Song, whom Dou Shiying had invited her, had arrived.
Dou Zhao let Xing Xing go to settle Mr. Song.
Happy is the younger brother of Gao Sheng. When Dou Shiying went to Kyoto, Gao Sheng served with him, and the family affairs were ready to be handed over to Du An, who had served Dou Duo, but Wang Yingxue felt that Du Chapter 80 Xi'an was careful and appropriate. wanted Duane to go to Kyoto with him, and proposed to let Duan's cousin Dunin be the manager. There was a crowd of servants in the house, carrying Duane. It is also because Duane served by Dou Duo's side. Dou Shiying didn't care about this kind of thing at all, he nodded without thinking about it. Before Dou Shiying left, Dou Zhao used the excuse that there was a lack of stewards in his grange, and kicked a few stewards loyal to Wang Yingxue to his grange as stewards, don't promote newcomers to stewards. After Dou Shiying left, Dou Zhao ordered Xingxing, who was the gatekeeper in the Dou family, to do everything, and immediately put Du Ning in the air. After a while, under the pretext that the stewards did not understand the affairs of the grange, they sent the people home to be idle.
The Dou family is a servant woman who sweeps the yard and knows what is going on, no one dares to say anything, but when she meets Dou Zhao, her attitude is more attentive. The smile is even more flattering.
Du Ning didn't dare to say Dou Zhao, and only dared to scold Happy after being drunk: "...... What is he? I can't even understand the account book, and I'm still the manager, don't laugh at the big teeth! β
Dou Zhao said after he found out: "Whoever I say can do it, he can do it, and if it doesn't work, it's okay; I said that whoever can't do it can't do it, he can't do it, and he can't do it either! Hearing this, the people up and down the West Dou were frightened, and someone with a heart spread the word to the East Mansion, and the second wife frowned when she heard it, and privately said that Dou Zhao was arrogant. originally wanted to help Dou Zhao, but he remained silent on the sidelines. Someone passed this on to Dou Zhao to know, but Dou Zhao just didn't hear it, and privately told SΓΉ Happy how to grasp the big and let go of the small, and Happy followed Dou Zhao's words meticulously, although he was careful about doing things. It's been more than a year, but nothing big has happened, but the second wife was very surprised and said "huh".
I was happy to go, but I turned back after half a burnt of incense.
"Fourth Miss," he said respectfully, "Steward Du is back, and Mr. Song is accompanied by Steward Du!" β
Dou Zhao raised his eyebrows.
Don't know what this Duane is coming back for?
She asked Xingxing: "Did you come back by yourself or did Steward Du ask you not to meddle in this matter." β
Happy said honestly: "It's that I can't intervene, and I feel that I should talk to Miss Four, so I'll come back." β
Dou Zhao said: "Since this is the case, you can pass on my words, and you don't care about Mr. Song's affairs." β
I was glad to know what the so-called "don't care" meant, and hesitated: "But Mr. Song is the Xixi that the Seventh Master invited to you, if you are like that Jiang Yougong and run away in anger......"
"What's the matter with us?" Dou Zhaoqi said, "Isn't Du An entertaining Mr. Song?" Mr. Song was angry and ran away, my father should also settle accounts with Duane, right? β
Happy to think about it, I felt that Dou Zhao's words were reasonable, smiled honestly, and ordered Dou Zhao's words.
Immediately, there was no one on Duane's side who handed the handkerchief.
He was so angry that he called Du Ning and gave him a hard beating.
Du Ning said aggrievedly: "I told you a long time ago that you should stay in the Dou family......
"Fuck your shit!" Du An couldn't help but say, "No matter how powerful the fourth lady is, she will marry in a few years." No matter how diligent I am, what the seventh master likes is to serve him since he was a child. Then he sighed, "If Miss Fourth is a son, what else do I have to hesitate about, just live with Miss Four wholeheartedly!" β
"But if you offend Miss Four, she doesn't know when she thinks of it and will send you away. If you offend your wife, you can also beg Miss Fourth to go to Miss Four's grange or shop to be an errand ......"
If Fourth Miss hadn't gotten half of Xi Dou's property, would she still be able to do it?
Duane sighed inwardly and fell silent.
Du Ning cautiously asked him, "What do you say should I do about this?" β
Du An glared at Du Ning fiercely and said, "What to do, you can find a few people to deal with the situation in front of you." He added, "This time, my wife asked me to come back, because I have something important to do, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of the family for the time being, just listen to my dispatch when the time comes." As long as this is done, you will be the veritable manager of the Sinus in the future. By the end of his words, he had already gritted his teeth.
Du Ning nodded again and again, and called his wife, niece, and nephew who were on an errand in Dou Mansion to come over to help.
Mr. Song is also accustomed to walking around in large households, and brought his own nephew Song Yan to serve with him, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but secretly regret it, and said to his nephew: "I only said that there was a daughter-in-law in the family who wanted to learn some poetry, piano, calligraphy and painting, who knew that the personnel of this family were so complicated." Alas, if it weren't for the fact that I had something to ask for him, how would I have come here to sit in the museum. β
Song Yan was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was very calm, and comforted Mr. Song with a smile: "Uncle is reluctant to be depressed, you just discipline that son-in-law, can they still be without our food and clothing?" No matter how bad it is, we will finish teaching this year and stop teaching next year. Lord He, on his side, can also have an explanation. β
Mr. Song nodded.
That Song Yan and Du An's nephew helped carry the cage together.
When it was time for dinner, Dou Shibang was entrusted by Dou Zhaozhi to pick up Mr. Song: "The seventh uncle is not at home, and Mr. Song Haihan is invited for the rudeness." Then he invited Song's uncle and nephew to Jingfuchun.
As a result, Duane's dinner did not land, and Duane was so angry that he grabbed the placket of his happy clothes and was about to beat.
The person next to him persuaded the two to leave.
I was happy and said humbly: "The meals at home are all fixed, if you don't come back to greet Miss Four, Miss Four doesn't know, she didn't tell her to come down, and there was no way on the stove." You'd better go and say hello to Miss Four! β
The Dou family splashes so many leftovers every day, is there just one more bite of him?
Du An's face turned purple with anger, but he couldn't say a word, thinking of his wife's instructions when he came, he had to obediently go to greet Dou Zhao.
The mother-in-law of the second gate stopped him at the door, and said with a smile: "Steward Du, Miss is now older, not as good as before, it is not suitable for you to enter the inner courtyard again." If you have anything, we will help you know. β
After waiting for two hours, he didn't even have to sit on a bench, and Du An's legs were numb before the little maid replied: "It's not too early, the fourth lady asks Steward Du to come over early tomorrow morning to talk." β
Du An couldn't help but ask, "What was the fourth miss doing just now?" β
The little girl pursed her lips and smiled: "The fourth lady was pruning the flowers just now!" β
Put Duane in a rage again.
Dou Zhaocai didn't bother to pay attention to Duan, she asked Ganlu to make a few purses, and then went to Daci Temple to Dou Zhengchang, Dou Dechang, Dou Qiguang, Dou Qitai and Wu Shan, who participated in the children's test this year, each of them asked for a wishful luck charm in the purse and sent it over.
Dou Zhengchang asked the maids around him to bring a few words of gratitude, and only Wu Shan sent a box of white fans of lotus leaves and plums over: "The flowers will bloom in a few days, and the fourth sister can just draw a few fans to give away." β
Dou Zhaowan couldn't help but be moved.
When Mr. Song finished talking about "Mencius? In "How to marry a wife, you must tell your parents", she asked Mr. Song: "I used to learn flowers and birds with the elders in the family, and I want to draw a few fans, can Mr. teach me?" β
Except for some discord on the first day, the Dou family was very calm, and Dou Zhao was also very serious in his homework, and Mr. Song was very satisfied with this.
He smiled and said, "You draw a first draft first, and I'll help you look at it." β
Dou Zhao happily agreed.
Mr. Song's name, words and people, proficient in miscellaneous studies, is also relatively loose, may be because of the Jiangnan people, not because Dou Zhao is a girl and slack, Dou Zhao has anything to understand or can't understand to ask him, he often cites scriptures and says a lot, Dou Zhao listens to it with relish, often talking and saying that he doesn't know what he wants to ask. In the past few days, watching the spring breeze blowing on his face, he also sued Dou Zhao to make a kite. Like now, Dou Zhao took the initiative to learn something, and his interest was even higher.
When Dou Zhao returned home, he found some fan-covered albums to copy.
News came from the county school that Dou Zhengchang, Dou Dechang, Dou Qiguang, Dou Qitai and Wu Shan all passed the county examination, and in April, several people passed the government examination, and in June, except for Dou Qitai, everyone else passed the hospital examination, especially Wu Shan, who took the first case during the examination.
Dou familiality has gained fame.
Mrs. Wu rushed back with Wu Ya to Kyoto.
