Chapter 280: Introspection
Song Mo nodded with satisfaction and said, "You wait for me in the study, I'll go see Madame." ”
Yan Chaoqing laughed, watched Song Mo lift the curtain and enter the hall, and then turned to the study.
After a night of noisy work, it was almost dawn before it stopped, everyone was very tired, because there were guards outside, so this sleep was extraordinarily sound, until Song Mo entered the banquet room, Su Xin sat up in shock.
"Who?" She whispered vigilantly, and Su Lan was awakened.
Seeing that it was Song Mo, Su Xin couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and the whole person was relieved, "It turned out to be the prince of the world!" ”
Fortunately, I was afraid that someone would come in, so I and my sister slept in clothes.
Su Xin secretly rejoiced, and Su Lan got up to salute Song Mo.
Song Mo didn't squint, bowed slightly, and straightened the inner room.
Su Lan opened her mouth wide and said in a low voice: "Sister, after Miss married him, how did he become like this?" He wouldn't be cold to Miss, would he? ”
"Shut up." Su Xin didn't know how to discipline this sister, "He's him, he's his, is he your name?" How many times have I told you that you want to be called 'madam', why don't you always take it to heart? You're eighteen years old, and you think you're a kid! If you are still disobedient like this, I will ask Madame to send you back to Zhending, so that you will not be out of tune all day and cause trouble to Madame!" ”
Su Lan pouted.
Su Xin couldn't help but sigh.
In the blink of an eye, my sister is eighteen years old, but the marriage has not yet been settled...... It's time to say goodbye to my sister...... After two days, Mrs. will not be busy, and I will talk to Mrs. about it......
She instructed Su Lan: "Since the prince is back, the lady will get up and wash up soon, you have people prepare hot water." He rolled up the futon and carried it back to the house.
Dou Zhao didn't have as good alertness as Su Xin, she was sleeping soundly.
Song Mo stood beside the bed and looked at Dou Zhao carefully.
She lay on her side on the bed. The delicate skin is like the snow in early winter, the ruddy face is like the plum in early spring, and even the air seems to be wafting with a cold but tranquil atmosphere.
Song Mo squatted down gently.
Dou Zhao's eyebrows were thick and dark, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, looking a little proud, but extremely beautiful.
He never knew that her eyes were so good-looking.
It reminded him of the time when they were happy, and she looked at him, sparkling. Like the spring in March......
Song Mo felt as if his body was excited again.
At this time, he didn't think about how to comfort Dou Zhao, his mind was full of thoughts about being with Dou Zhao.
Song Mo scolded himself in his heart, suppressing those thoughts that shouldn't appear, but he couldn't help but touch her eyebrows lightly.
Dou Zhao was suddenly awakened.
She blinked. There was a kind of confusion, like an unsuspecting child.
Song Mo's heart was stung suddenly.
Who is the natural courage to kill?
It's just that the environment is forcing each other.
When Dou Zhao was in his mother's house, it was already very difficult, and when he married him, not only did he not get happiness and peace, but he had to follow him to worry about being frightened, which was worse than when he was married!
If Dou Zhao had a little hesitation at that time. If Yan Chaoqing and the others came a little late, and Dou Zhao was taken advantage of by those thieves, what kind of situation would it be?
He felt a chill run through his fingertips just thinking about it.
"Wake up!" Song Mo's voice was a little hoarse, and his hand reached into the quilt. Shook Dou Zhao's hand.
Dou Zhao saw the person in front of him clearly, and his expression became more relaxed: "You're back!" She was so tired that she didn't bother to get up for a while, so she just lay down and talked to Song Mo.
Something like this happened at home. Song Mo looked like nothing happened, and he must have felt uncomfortable in his heart.
She responded. also held Song Mo's hand.
Song Mo buried his face in the futon.
"I'm sorry, it's all me...... Didn't take care of things properly...... It will never happen again...... I promise......"
The futon exuded an unknown fragrance, which soaked into people's lungs, making Song Mo's eyes feel astringent and wet.
Dou Zhao sighed secretly in his heart, not knowing whether to praise Mrs. Jiang for raising Song Mo too well, or to blame Mrs. Jiang for educating Song Mo too rigidly-if something happened, Song Mo must be the first to find the reason from himself.
But at this moment, looking at Song Mo's hair and looking a little depressed, she really hoped that Song Mo would not always be so strong.
Occasionally, like a second ancestor, maybe she will feel a little better when she sees it.
"What's the matter with you?" Dou Zhao smiled, his tone was light and casual, "I heard Mr. Yan say that it is a group of outlaws from Cangzhou, and I heard that my dowry is rich, so I took the risk......
Song Mo raised his head, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red: "If I have enough prestige, why can't I deter the group?" Speaking of which, I still don't have the ability to protect my wife and children, and I don't ...... to protect my wife and children."
Blaming oneself like this will only make people more and more frustrated.
"Alright, alright." Dou Zhao said angrily, "This was originally caused by my dowry, to make it clear, it was the silver ticket that my father temporarily added that caused the trouble, you don't know what happened outside, saying that the silver ticket was full of 200,000 taels, which attracted people's covetability." Mr. Yan had already sent someone to report to my father, and with his father's temperament, he would definitely rush over. If you say that to his face, he will blame himself more than you...... It's already happened, what's the use of blaming yourself? You'd better hurry up and think about making amends! The thought of nineteen more bandits now without knowing where makes my vest chill and fidgets. She shifted Song Mo's gaze, "Yantang, you have to personally inquire about this matter." Other people, I always feel less reliable. Also, I got a pair of cards from the British Commonwealth," she says, a little excited.
Compared with the careful calculation of the previous life, Dou Zhaowan likes the current arrogance and unreasonableness.
She simply sat up and said, "I'm going to call the servant women of the house to talk later, if you can make sure that the house is safe later, we can quickly establish prestige in the house, even if my father-in-law gets the letter at this time and rushes back, it's too late." What do you think? ”
Song Mo saw that she was only wearing a middle coat, so he put a small jacket on her first, and then said, "Don't worry, the emperor knows about this." Thunder was furious, and gave me a matching sword used by Emperor Taizu, and asked me to find out about this matter. I can't stay in the mansion every day, and I can't just leave you in the British mansion," he said, his expression condensed, and a hint of ugliness flashed in his eyes, and he looked a little gloomy, "those thieves must all be found." I also have to give an account of what happened last night. ”
The killing in his previous life was heavy, and Dou Zhao was most afraid that he would repeat the mistakes of the past.
She advised him: "Ignore those who are irrelevant, lest you ruin your reputation." ”
"I see!" Song Mo smiled slightly, in the morning light. Infinite beauty.
Dou Zhao was shaken brightly. I can't help but sigh in my heart, fortunately, I have been a human being in two lives, and some things are relatively light, if I met Song Mo in the previous life, day and night, even if I am tenacious, I am afraid that I will gradually be ashamed of myself......
She shook her head. Drive these thoughts away.
Su Xin came in and said, "Lord Shizi, the commander of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division asks to see you." It is said that the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division was called into the palace, and now the dragons have no leader, and they have to ask the prince to get an idea. ”
Song Mo sneered.
It should be the emperor who said something. Those people are afraid of being implicated and are anxious to show favor to themselves.
It just so happens that I have something for them to do.
When he stood up and looked at Dou Zhao, his expression was very gentle: "Aunt Shou." I'll take a look, an hour at most. I'll search the British Mansion in a dragnet style, and you can sleep again, and it's not too late to take over the middle feed of the mansion when the time comes. ”
Dou Zhao nodded and said, "You go and get busy with you, if there is anything, I will let the little servants go to you." ”
Song Mo came out of the inner room.
Dou Zhao sighed: "The soldiers and horses of the five cities are all commanding envoys and Shuntian Mansion Yin are going to suffer this time. ”
"Well deserved!" Su Xin felt scared when he thought about it, and couldn't help but complain a little in his heart, and said, "What are they doing?" Isn't that what you deal with every day with these thieves? There were so many faces in Kyoto at once, but they didn't notice anything, and they deserved to lose their officials. ”
It's really rare to make Su Xin angry.
Dou Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, washed and combed, and went to the study.
If you want to do a good job, you must first do a good job.
Since she wants to be in charge of the inner courtyard of the British Mansion, she has to make some preparations in advance.
Dou Zhao compared the list of the housekeepers of the British Mansion that she had collected from the secret pavilion of the study and the list of the housekeepers and grandmothers of the British Mansion when Madame Jiang presided over the British Mansion for a long time, and then put the list back in its place.
She used breakfast in the study.
After breakfast, the eldest lady and daughter-in-law came over.
Maybe it's because of the artificial knife, I'm struggling for the fish, or maybe I haven't slept well all night, and the eldest lady and daughter-in-law look very haggard.
Dou Zhao smiled and asked them if they had breakfast, and after a few pleasantries, he went to the upper courtyard.
Jiang usually deals with housework in the flower hall of the upper courtyard, the flower hall is not far from the Yizhi Hall, from the inclined alley into the upper courtyard, along the west side of the hand verandah after a month of the door of the cave to arrive. The flower hall is surrounded by all kinds of bamboo, and there are a few oleanders and moon flowers, the scenery is beautiful, and there is a nice name called "Cui Cui Xuan".
The housekeepers and grandmothers in the inner courtyard of the British Mansion had arrived, and they were standing in the courtyard talking to each other in twos and threes, when they saw the eldest lady, the Dong family and a group of maids and daughters-in-law walking in with Dou Zhao in their arms, and they were suddenly silent.
Dou Zhao walked into the flower hall leisurely, sat down with the eldest lady, the little maid served tea, Su Xin walked out of the flower hall of the four fans, stood on the steps, and invited the housekeepers to discuss the matter.
There are five pillarless rooms in the flower hall, and there is a Taishi chair against the wall, but these housekeepers are not qualified to sit.
They stood in the center of the flower hall, the eldest lady only said that there was a dispute at home, and could no longer preside over the middle feed of the British Mansion. As he spoke, he handed over the purple purlin wooden box containing the right cards to Dou Zhao in front of everyone.
Presided over a day of feeding, the hand of the cards have not been covered with heat on the hand, thinking of what happened last night, who believes that the big lady has an urgent matter at home, and who believes that the pair of cards to Dou Zhao is the meaning of the British public.
But who would dare to come forward to question Mrs. Dou Zhaohe?
