The Shuntianfu Hutong next to the British Mansion is named because the Shuntianfu's Mansion is located here, and the Scissors Lane is therefore crowded with stalls and shops selling all kinds of snacks, among which there is a wonton shop called Mao Ji, the wontons are made with thin skin and large filling, with small fish and shrimp, and the soup is very delicious, which is very suitable for the taste of the Jiangnan people who are heavy on pottery. He would occasionally go to Mao Ji to eat a bowl, and then chat with the owner of Mao Kee Shop, who is also a fellow Jiangnan villager, and the homesickness would suddenly disappear, and his heart would be a lot happier.

When I came out of the incense courtyard, it was already the time when the lights were on.

The pottery hesitated a little and went to the Mao Ji wonton shop.

Business in the shop was good as usual, and it was full.

Under the dim light, noisy voices, and steaming heat, people's faces are blurred.

But the owner of the Uki shop still recognized the pottery at a glance.

He smiled and walked over while wiping his hands with his apron: "Mr. Tao, according to the old rules, I will set up a table for you at the back door, right?" ”

Pottery chuckled and said "Thank you".

The boss of U Kee personally went to clean up the table, brought a bowl of wontons and put them in front of the pottery.

The pottery took a sip of the soup.

Two men whispered from the next seat.

“…… It's true? The Dou family is a scholar, how could they agree to the sister's easy marriage? ”

"What am I lying to you for? The fourth and fifth ladies of the Dou family are half-siblings. It is said that there was no time to prepare at that time, and the fifth lady was married with the dowry of the fourth lady. Now that the fifth miss is married to the Hou Mansion in Jining on behalf of the fourth miss and is Mrs. Hou, the fourth miss naturally wants to come back. Or the dowry that I went to help carry, I don't know yet! ”

"I heard that the Dou family has a dowry of 20,000 taels of silver for marrying their daughter. If the dowry is returned, won't the Marquis of Jining be a loss? ”

"What a loss?! 20,000 taels of silver, which was given by the public. The fourth lady just asked for back what her biological mother had left her. I saw that it was full of money, and it was only one or two thousand taels of silver. And the fifth lady's maternal ancestor is Wang Youxing, the governor of Yunnan, who wins all the way to Wang Youxing, you know? Now that Miss Fourth has asked for back what her biological mother left for herself, Miss Five's biological mother and the Wang family will definitely give her a large amount of silver. Count it up, the Marquis of Jining still earns it! ”

Hearing this, the pottery couldn't help but turn his head to look over.

The two men who spoke were dressed in coarse cloth and short brown, burly and dark-skinned, and although the faces of the two men were one loyal and the other shrewd, their hands were full of calluses, and there was dirt left between their fingernails.

He couldn't help arching his hand towards the two, shouted "two brothers", and said, "What you said, but the Beizhili Dou family?" Dou Wenhua Dou Lord's house? ”

Dou Shishu was a scholar of Wenhua Hall University and a hall official in the Ministry of Officials for many years, and there were not a few people who had to be taken care of by him.

The two men who spoke saw that the pottery was dressed as a scribe, and knew that they had met a scholar, so they hurriedly stood up, bowed and saluted, and said "don't dare", and said: "It is the hometown of Dou Ge, the scholar of the Criminal Department and the scholar of Wenhuadian University." ”

Thinking of what he said just now, he knew that the two of them were used to working outdoors in wealthy families, and his attitude was a lot kinder, and he smiled: "There is nothing to do on a cold night, listening to the two brothers talking interestingly, I can't help but be a little out of shape, and please don't take them to heart." ”

"Where, where!" The two of them hurriedly said in a respectful voice, and the one with a keen face said, "Listen to Mr. Tone, and I am familiar with the Dou family." I wonder what Mr. wants to know? We will know everything, and we will say everything. ”

The loyal one didn't show his face, and kicked the camera min, but the camera sensitive one pretended not to know, and politely invited the pottery to sit at the same table.

The pottery looked at it and smiled: "It's better for you to come and sit with me!" I'll be quiet. ”

The one with a loyal face was a little hesitant, and the one with a sensitive face was overjoyed when he heard it, and sat down next to the pottery heavy with a half bowl of wontons that had not yet been eaten. The loyal face showed a little helplessness in his eyes, so he had to sit down with it.

Tao Zhong smiled and said, "We sat together, and the boss just had a free table, so that he could entertain others and earn a few more pennies." ”

Even the one with a sensitive face who claimed "yes" and had a loyal face also slackened his expression.

Most of the time, the pottery spoke loyally to the face: "You said that you helped the fourth lady of the Dou family move the dowry, what is going on?" ”

That said honestly: "Something like this happened, everyone is always a little embarrassed, after the bride returned to the door to recognize her relatives, the Dou family took advantage of the darkness to move back the things that Miss Four's biological mother left for Miss Four to dowry." Because of the lack of manpower, I often helped the Dou family to do some heavy work, so I was called to take a handle, and in addition to the salary, I was also rewarded with one or two silver per person. No, I just finished my work, so I invited my brother to come here to eat a bowl of ravioli. ”

Although the wontons in Uji are cheap, it is a pleasure for those of them who work as coolies to eat bowls of wontons like this.

Tao nodded again, and asked about the sister's easy marriage with a smile.

The camera was sensitive enough to ask and could say ten sentences, but he was just listening to the relays of loyal people, and he couldn't say anything when he wanted to; The loyalist man knew a lot

, but like a copper oil wick, you dial it and it will light it up, and if you don't dial it, it won't light up. The pottery helped the two pay for the wontons, and asked the owner of the shop to serve a pot of Lao Baigan, four dishes of wine, and slowly drank the second drum with the two at the back door of the wonton shop, and then they dispersed.

As soon as the wind blew, the pottery was heavy and felt a little up.

He leaned against the wall and walked slowly into the alley next to the British mansion.

The guard at the side door saw that the pottery was heavy, and hurriedly greeted him and helped him, flattering: "Mr. Tao, where have you been?" Why didn't you let the little guy follow? This black light is blinding, if you bump somewhere, how can you get it? Grandpa Guo's affairs must not be messed up! ”

The pottery smiled heavily, and rewarded the guard with a small piece of broken silver: "Buy you wine to drink!" ”

The watchman was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he kept thanking him, and his attitude became more attentive: "I'll help you go back to the house, right?" Just now, Grandpa Guo sent someone to ask where you went. If you want to go out alone in the future, you can tell us, in case Grandpa Guo looks for you, we also have a place to find ......"

I don't know what Grandpa Guo is looking for him? If he was really in a hurry, he should have sent someone to look for him, knowing that he had returned home, he would send someone to look for him again.

Tao Chong's brain was a little dizzy at this time, and he let out a "hmm" in a daze, and went back to the house to rest.

I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and remembered this incident.

Did you go to see Grandpa Guo later?

He couldn't think clearly, leaned on the head of the bed and rubbed his temples, asked the little guy to pour himself a cup of tea, and asked, "Has Grandpa Guo ever sent someone to find me?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Wu smiled, "But the second master has come to you in person." Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and said in a low voice, "It seems that Grandpa Guo lost his temper with the second master, and the second master almost suffered from the board because of this, and the second master came to you and wanted you to help him say a few good words in front of Grandpa Guo." ”

Pottery let out a long sigh as he listened.

It's really not as good as Song Moliang!

If Song Mo is really made to become a princess, with Song Mo's skills, I am afraid that the grandfather and the second master will only be able to live by looking at Song Mo's eyes in the future!

The thought flashed through him, and he immediately remembered what happened in the wonton shop.

Didn't he just think that the matter of the fourth lady of the Dou family was quite interesting?

The pottery jumped up and instructed the servant: "Quick, serve me quickly, get dressed, I want to see Grandpa Guo!" ”

The little guy was stunned.

Tao Jizhong realized that he was too excited, and said, "You go down first!" I'll tell you something. ”

He is just hearsay, and some things have to be verified to be better, so as not to make a mistake in front of Grandpa Guo.

The little guy stepped back.

The pottery was heavy in the house until the sky turned white, and then he called the little servant to serve him to freshen up, and even breakfast was useless, so he went out of the British mansion alone.

Song Yichun thought of Song Han's homework, and he was so angry that his chest ached, but this pain was the cause of his own planting, and he didn't even have a place to complain. Early this morning, Song Yichun took the school Song Han's homework, and although he memorized all the articles he memorized yesterday, he stumbled, which made him angry again, and he wanted to talk to the pottery, so he sent a small servant to invite, but the pottery went out again, and he couldn't help but be angry for a while.

This pottery is heavy, what is it going to do?

knew that he was looking for him, but he didn't pay attention to him, did he think that once Song Mo became a princess, he would be crushed by Song Mo and become the decoration of the British government, so he began to be half-hearted about himself?

Song Yichun was so angry that his forehead was bruised, and he roared angrily at the little guy: "Don't ask me to find it soon!" Even if you dig three feet into the ground in Kyoto, you have to get people back for me! ”

The little guy panicked and said yes, but turned around and collided with the pottery.

The pottery covered his chest with an "ouch", but he didn't look at the little guy, pushed the little guy away and strode forward to salute Song Yichun.

"Grandpa Guo, I have a good candidate for the marriage of the prince!" He looked at Song Yichun with a smile.

※※※※※

Dou Shiying stood on the steps of the upper room, looking at the servants who were moving things in and out, and her heart was heavy.

What Gu Qiu left for her daughter is to be returned, but where is her daughter's marriage?

Thinking of Dou Ming's smile that couldn't hide his joy, his eyes sank slightly, and he went to the east wing.

The hall was a little messy, and Zhao Zhangru was squatting in front of the two boxes that were coming back from the Hou Mansion of Jining and talking to Dou Zhao: "...... My aunt's box must be in the same group as ours. The one in our house is carved with 800 Arhats, and the one in your house is carved with Peng Zu Baishou, but it is all red sandalwood with tooth edges. ”

Dou Zhao pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, and pointed to a small kang screen next to him: "This is also made of rosewood, inlaid with syrup." ”

"Where? Where? Zhao Zhangru leaned over.

Dou Zhao pointed it out to her.

The two eldest girls who have passed the marriageable age are already mothers at this age, but they are still giggling like children who don't know the world.

Dou Shiying only felt that his heart was like a knife.

My aunt didn't know when she came over, looked at the two girls who were as beautiful as flowers, and called out softly, "Auntie", and said, "What are your plans?" (To be continued)
