Chapter 160: The Gift

At night, Dou Zhao, who was only allowed to drink a glass of wine, slept with his aunt and cousin Zhao Zhangru.

They said goodbye.

Although there are often correspondence between letters, being able to squeeze into a bed like this and look at the face that misses day and night is a pleasure that letters cannot satisfy.

Soon, the sound of the three watch drums came from my ears.

Zhao Zhangru had already fallen asleep with his head tilted.

Dou Zhaozheng asked energetically, without a trace of sleepiness: "......, in this way, the new political secretary and uncle are in the same department?" ”

"So you don't have to worry about us." Her topic all revolved around her uncle, and her aunt naturally knew her intentions, and said, "Not only that, but when Lord Li participated in the Spring Festival, he also lived in an inn with your uncle, and the two had a similar temperament, and they often exchanged letters after that. This time, when Lord Li took office, he was the first to meet with your uncle, and he also negotiated with your uncle more about the affairs under his administration, and your uncle was able to rise to the prefect of Qingyang Mansion in such a smooth manner, which also has a lot to do with Lord Li's recommendation. ”

Wang Yixing has been stranded in Shaanxi for several years, and the pattern of the entire temple has changed, not to mention Shaanxi, and his uncle's career has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Dou Zhao's joy was beyond words, and she smiled: "Then Mrs. Li's side, my aunt still has to move around often." ”

My aunt smiled and said, "Our Aunt Shou has really grown into a big girl, and she even knows this." ”

Dou Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, and asked about the three cousins.

"They're all good." The aunt said in a general way, and then asked about Dou Zhao's merger, "Who will intervene for you?" Who are the drivers and praisers? ”

"The second lady is ready to help me intervene. The master and the praiser were originally supposed to be Sister Shu'er, and then they found one from among their relatives. Dou Zhao smiled, "At that time, I didn't expect that you and the sixth aunt would come back, and the sixth aunt was afraid that there would be no master or praiser on my side, so she brought Cousin Ji over, since you are here, why don't you help me insert it?" ”

Compared with the second wife, Dou Zhao prefers that his aunt will be the guest. Moreover, the aunt came from afar, and the Dou family, out of respect for Dou Zhao's family, as long as Dou Zhao went out through the wind, he should take the initiative to let his aunt intervene.

It turned out to be the second lady who personally helped Dou Zhaoxuan!

My aunt was very surprised, but even more, but she was relieved.

Letting the second wife, who is highly respected in Zhending, help to insert the flute will improve Dou Zhao's status, which will only be good for Dou Zhao.

She Zhao Zhangru came back because she was afraid that Dou Zhao and the ceremony would not have a suitable driver or praiser, but now that things are arranged, she is also relieved, and she did not mention Zhao Zhangru's matter.

"Let's let the second lady help you insert the flute!" My aunt smiled, "It's rare that she has this heart." But with your sixth aunt, you have to be filial to her, she can treat people like her own daughter. ”

Dou Zhao nodded repeatedly.

The aunt didn't care anymore, and urged Dou Zhao with a smile: "We are going to stay in Zhending for two months, what do we have to say, it's enough to ask." Now you go to sleep, tomorrow there will be a merger! On such an important day, it would be bad if you were not in good spirits. Then he tucked the quilt for her.

Dou Zhao giggled like a child, where could he sleep, but thinking of his aunt rushing back so far away, he must have been very tired and stopped talking.

Soon, she couldn't hear her aunt's steady breathing.

In the quiet of the night, there was a sudden warmth in this usually slightly deserted room.

Dou Zhao closed his eyes with the corners of his mouth, and soon fell asleep deeply, and the next day, he woke up under Su Xin's push.

She sat up abruptly.

There was an uncle's calm voice with a little smile in his ears: "Don't worry, don't worry!" It's still early! I said that you should sleep again, but Suxin said, if you ask her to get up, I can't stop you. ”

"Is this the right thing?" Dou Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that Zhao Zhangru was still sleeping like a pig, and such a movement did not wake her up.

"It's been three quarters." Su Xin hurriedly said, "In half an hour, the second wife and the others will come over." ”

Dou Zhao calculated in his heart, and before he had time, he was even more lax.

She was helped by the invited grandmother to help her dress up, and her aunt went to call Zhao Zhangru up.

Zhao Zhangru shouted wow, found that he was not wearing socks, and he couldn't find a sweat towel after wearing socks, so he was so anxious that he shouted: "Aunt Shou, lend me a piece of your sweat towel." He made the servants in the room laugh.

My aunt was funny and angry, and scolded: "Look at you, you are two years older than Aunt Shou, but you are not as stable as Aunt Shou, you are like this, how can I rest assured that I will marry you." ”

Zhao Zhangru's face turned crimson.

Dou Zhao heard what was in this, and while his aunt was in the toilet, he quietly asked the third cousin: "Do I have another happy wine to drink?" ”

Zhao Zhangru pushed Dou Zhao and whispered, "Daddy wants to keep me at home ......." ”

The memories of his previous life gradually became clear in Dou Zhao's mind

My uncle has never taken a concubine, and he has always had only three daughters. The eldest cousin and the second cousin are both married to the scholarly family in the land of his eunuchs, and his cousin-in-law also won the jinshi. The third cousin is at home. It's just that except for the eldest cousin, she hasn't seen the other two cousins, let alone have any friendships. Who the third cousin is married to, she doesn't know.

She looked at Zhao Zhangru, whose mouth was pursed, and said with a smile: "What? Don't you want to stay at home? ”

"Would I like it to be of any use!" Zhao Zhangru muttered: "You can't let your father and mother have nothing to rely on!" ”

A good man with ambition who wants to get rich.

Dou Zhao can understand Zhao Zhangru's mood, but as she said, don't let her uncle and aunt have nothing to rely on.

The atmosphere was a little dull for a while.

Zhao Zhangru hurriedly smiled: "Forget it, don't talk about me." Today is a good day for you. ”

However, there is nothing bad about my uncle's family, and I guess life is still good...... What's more, it has been a long time coming, and now Zhao Zhangru has not decided to marry.

Dou Zhao smiled and took Zhao Zhangru's arm and went to the hall.

After a while, the ladies of the Eastern Mansion and some wives who were watching the ceremony arrived.

The second lady wore the dress of Mrs. Sanpin very ceremoniously, and lightly applied some powder, wearing an emerald head, looking very energetic.

When she entered the door, she took her aunt's hand and said with a smile: "Today I will come to insert the merger for Aunt Shou, and let your daughter give Dou Zhao a tray, and Sister Xiao Jian of the Ji family will be the praiser." Then, without waiting for his aunt to excuse himself, he said, "I am in charge of this matter, and none of you should say anything." You have traveled thousands of miles to celebrate Shou Gu and this affection is not only remembered by Shou Gu, but I also remember. ”

Everything is changing.

In the past, the second wife naturally had to suppress her aunt for the sake of the Dou family, but now in order to suppress Wang Yingxue, she has to raise her aunt.

Dou Zhao knew in his heart that he was more happy to see such a scene, so he pulled his aunt's sleeve and agreed.

Pang Jinlou's wife, who was treated as an ordinary guest and didn't even have a seat, was very ugly.

My aunt thought that Dou Zhao was alone in the Dou family, and she couldn't bear to make her sad, so she quickly agreed.

The hall was peaceful.

When it was auspicious, Zhao Zhangru held the red gold and ruby Bu Shao specially sent by Dou Shiying for Dou Zhao and the gift, and Ji Ling assisted the second wife to insert the Bu Shao in Dou Zhao's hair.

The golden phoenix is lifelike, the ruby is shining, and Dou Zhao, who is dressed in a bright red gold-inlaid royal blue passionflower skirted brocade robe, is graceful and luxurious, and the brilliance and the heroic posture of the usual day are another demeanor, so that Ji Ling can't help but look sideways.

She looked at Dou Zhao, who was generous and enthusiastic in sifting wine for the elders during the banquet, and stopped talking several times.

Zhao Zhangru whispered to her: "Aunt Shou is really beautiful today, do you say yes?" ”

Ji Ling nodded and hesitated: "She really married the Marquis of Jining?" ”

"Of course." Zhao Zhangru smiled like a flower, "My mother came this time, in addition to congratulating Aunt Shou and merging, and then to see how Aunt Shou's dowry was prepared." Didn't the Marquis of Jining send someone to ask Shougu to marry within 100 days? My mother thinks that Jining Mansion looks down on people a little, and Aunt Shou's dowry can't be neglected....... No"

Ji Ling said "um" and listened a little absentmindedly.

※※※※※

After two days, the guests who came to congratulate were dispersed, and the aunt took Zhao Zhangru back to her mother's house, Ji's rare trip, and did her filial piety in front of the second wife, so that Dou Zhao had time to count those gift lists.

"Hey, Mr. Yan, Xu Qing and Lu Ming all sent congratulatory gifts!"

"yes." Su Xin had already counted the gift list before, who gave something, and probably counted it in his heart, "Not only did the three of them send congratulatory gifts, but Tanjiazhuang also sent the Buddha of Longevity and Boundless Longevity as a congratulatory gift." ”

"Ahh Dou Zhao was very surprised, and said with a smile, "I'm not responsible." But it also made her a little curious, and told Su Xin, "Let's go and see." ”

Su Xin and Dou Zhao went to the treasury where the congratulatory gifts were placed.

There are too many gifts, and they are on the books.

Su Xin and Ganlu took a few little maids to look for a long time before they found it.

That Shou Buddha is only three feet, but it is carved of mutton fat jade, the carving is exquisite, the whole body is flawless, and it is worth a lot of money at a glance.

Dou Zhao said with a smile: "What good things do Tanjiazhuang do now, we have to give heavy gifts." ”

"It's this decency that's rare." Su Xin said with a smile, "Tanjiazhuang is in Lingbi County, and it is also one of the few big families.

Dou Zhao nodded, but wondered why he hadn't seen Ji Yong's congratulatory gift.

With his character, he shouldn't miss this excitement.

She went back and looked at the list again.

There is indeed no congratulatory gift from Ji Yong.

There is no Song Mo's either.

But I saw a picture of Zhao Boju's "Immortal Mountain Pavilion" sent by Wu Shan.

Sandwiched in the Ru kiln rhombic brush wash given to her by Dou Dechang.

Dou Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

instructed Su Xin to put the "Immortal Mountain Pavilion Map" at the bottom of the box.

A few days later, the sixth aunt came to say goodbye with Ji Lingze: "......, I will be hired in September, and there are still a lot of things waiting for me at home." "And tried to persuade Dou Zhao to go with her to Kyoto through her grandmother...... She will marry in Kyoto in the future, so it is better to get familiar with the situation as soon as possible. "Dou Zhao again, "When the time comes, I will live in Mao'er Hutong." If someone asks, just say I asked you to come over and help. At most, go to Liuye Hutong to say hello. Can you still be forced to stay? ”

Even if she greets, she doesn't want to fight with the people of the Wang family!

Dou Zhao smiled and shook his head.

She will go to Kyoto, but not now.

Sisters, brothers, the worms only go back at night to catch them.
