Chapter 22: Uncle
Dou Zhao had no way of knowing what his uncle and grandfather said, but when his uncle came back, his face was very ugly.
"Ruifu," my aunt greeted me worriedly, "What did the in-laws say?" โ
"What more good things could he say!" The uncle sneered, and the corner of his eye glanced over the hot kang, but he saw Dou Zhao sitting at the end of the kang with a pom-pom, looking at him curiously with a pair of big eyes as bright as morning stars. He felt a pain in his heart, thinking that Dou Duo was the grandfather of his niece, and Dou Shiying was her father, and he swallowed the words of resentment when he came to his mouth, and he was afraid that his face would scare Dou Zhao, so he barely squeezed out a smile, and asked his wife gently: "Have the children had lunch?" โ
"It's all used." The aunt responded, and couldn't help but follow the uncle's gaze and glanced back at the uncle Dou Zhao in Chapter 22, and her eyes immediately flashed with a little water, "This child seems to know that his mother is gone." Don't cry or make trouble, I feed her whatever she eats...... Once upon a time, he was a master who did not eat this or that...... I don't know how many sins I will suffer after this? โ
Uncle lowered his head sadly and said, "I was just about to discuss this matter with you......"
"You say it's what it is." My aunt took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, "When I got married, Gu Qiu was only five years old...... On our wedding night, she insisted on sleeping with me and said that she liked me as an older sister...... I brought her to the age of sixteen, and personally sent her to marry into the Dou family, she is my sister-in-law, but she is more like my daughter...... You don't have to discuss her affairs with me, you can do whatever you want, and I will never say a word more. โ
"Moth!" Uncle gratefully shook his aunt's hand, "All these years, you have worked hard!" โ
"We are husband and wife," said my aunt, whose ears were red, "and what to do with this." She sat on the kang a little embarrassed, hugged Dou Zhao on her lap, and coaxed Dou Zhao, "Cousins are all going to take a nap, can you take a nap too?" After taking a nap, I can have the energy to play with my cousins in the afternoon. Do you want to play with your cousins? โ
Dou Chapter 22 Uncle Zhao has been waiting for his uncle to come back.
Now my uncle has something to say to my aunt that if she pretends to be asleep, my uncle and aunt will definitely be even more careless when they talk to each other.
Dou Zhao nodded lightly and yawned.
Her aunt helped her take off her outer coat, pulled the bed quilt to wrap her, held her in her arms and patted her gently, and then called her personal maid to pour hot tea for her uncle, and instructed her: "I have something to say to my lord, you watch outside." โ
The maid answered.
My uncle and aunt sat side by side on the kang and said, "I want to take Aunt Shou to live with our parents." โ
Dou Zhao, who had his eyes closed, moved his ears.
My aunt didn't have any objections and said, "Aunt Shou is here, and she happens to be a companion with Zhang Ru." โ
A hint of relief flashed in the uncle's eyes, and he muttered: "Last time, you said that the son of Sister Shou and Sister Tian's family were engaged, but there are tokens?" โ
"Yes." The aunt patted Dou Zhao and said, "It's a mutton fat jade bracelet that Sister Tian married when she got married." โ
"Gu Qiu just left, and the Dou family shouldn't have had time to pack up her things." Uncle said in a low voice, "Gu Qiu's things have always been ordered by Mama Yu, so you will send your own maid to find Mama Yu quietly and take Aunt Shou's bereashing token in your hand." โ
Although my aunt was stunned, she didn't ask anything, and called a maid to come in and give instructions.
The uncle explained: "Now that Gu Qiu is gone, the marriage between Aunt Shou and the Wei family has not been officially hired, but I am afraid that there will be some twists and turns at that time." I think that Dou Shiying is a two hundred and five, a woman looks at him a few more times, he doesn't know the southeast and northwest......" Speaking of his father, his uncle was a little excited, "He doesn't even know how many catties and taels he has, counting on him to be the master of Shougu, it is better to expect him to die early!" He's dead, and we can at least meddle in Shougu's affairs in the name of justice......"
"Be quiet!" The aunt hurriedly said, "Be careful to wake up the child." โ
The uncle poked his head to look at Dou Zhao, and when he saw that her eyes were closed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone gradually softened: "If Aunt Shou can find a good family in the future, don't mention this matter." If there is no suitable one, with this token in hand, the Wei family wants to regret it, but I am afraid that it will not be so easy. โ
Dou Zhao's eyes were astringent.
Her mother died, and she became the "eldest daughter of a widow", a person without religious precepts, and no one would marry such a girl as a daughter-in-law.
Uncle, everything was thought of for her......
She suddenly remembered.
When my mother and mother-in-law exchanged tokens, she thought it was in a dream, so she didn't care. In fact, in the previous life, she had never seen any tokens before she got married, it was the wedding night, Wei Tingyu took a jade pendant and a pair of bracelets, saying that it was a token of engagement between the two families that year. She thought it was handed over to the Wei family by her father.
Could it be that in the last life, this jade bracelet was not in the hands of my uncle?
Her heart couldn't help but thump.
My uncle's apologetic voice came from my ear: "Xiao Moth, I want to ...... all the other ancestral properties except for the thirty acres of sacrificial fields." Sold! โ
"Ahh My aunt exclaimed, "Why, why do you want to sell your ancestral property?" โ
Dou Zhao was also startled, squinting his eyes and peeking at his uncle.
The uncle lowered his eyelids and said softly: "Xiao Mo, you were originally a daughter who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, but since marrying me, you not only have to serve your mother-in-law who is paralyzed in bed, raise a young sister-in-law, give birth to children for me, take care of housework, and go to the fields to patrol the fields during the busy farming season...... It's all up to you, inside and out...... I remember it all in my heart...... I originally wanted to study hard to make a name for myself, earn a phoenix crown for you, and let you be able to raise your eyebrows and breathe a sigh...... But Gu Qiu has such a thing, I can't even care about my only sister for the sake of my future...... Non-Jinshi will not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet...... I'm sorry for you......"
"No, no." My aunt said anxiously, her eyes were red, "You treat me very well, I know, after I gave birth to Zhangru, my mother was afraid that you would dislike me, so she specially asked someone to buy a beautiful little girl from Jiangnan for you to bring back, you said you couldn't afford it, so you refused to ...... it."
Uncle had a wolf bรจi after his lie was exposed, and said toughly: "I can't afford to raise it!" โ
The aunt smiled heartily and meekly echoed the uncle: "Yes, I can't afford to raise it." But the tears fell.
Dou Zhao's tears almost fell.
The elegant and handsome uncle stood next to the middle-aged and wealthy aunt, not like a husband and wife, but like a brother and sister, and they were also sisters and brothers with an age difference of at least five years.
But my uncle never forgot his roots, always remembered his aunt's goodness, and never wanted to make his aunt sad.
"Say what to do! Biru and they are also my flesh and blood. Uncle was uncomfortable, and threw a handkerchief to his aunt, "Quickly wipe away your tears." โ
My aunt laughed and wiped away tears.
My uncle said: "I want to go to Beijing to do some work, and find a way to find a real shortage." When the time comes, we will take Shougu to take office. Speaking of this, the uncle's tone was a little bitter, "However, I have calculated, even if I sell the few acres of land on my ancestors, I am afraid that it will not be enough...... Can you," my uncle's voice gradually lowered, and his face showed a look of shame and shame, and he didn't dare to look at his aunt, "lend me your dowry...... As soon as I have a living hand, I will return it to you immediately......"
"What do you say?" My aunt said angrily, "Mine is not yours!" When my father and mother gave me so many dowries, didn't they just want us to live well? As long as we live well, this dowry will do its best, what is there to spend? If you don't talk to me when you encounter such a big event, I think you and I are not of the same mind! โ
Dou Zhao cried.
"Shougu, Shougu, what's wrong with you?" My aunt picked her up in a panic, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? โ
Dou Zhao lay on his aunt's shoulder and cried loudly.
In the last life, her mother died, and her uncle was powerless to fight against the Dou family, so he endured his grief to participate in the examination, and then took his aunt's dowry to make a real shortcoming, and wanted to take her to office, but she bit her aunt in front of the Dou family, and shouted that she would not go with her aunt...... Uncle is already sorry for his aunt for his sister, if he finds a real shortage but does not take office, his uncle will lose his official position, and he will be even more sorry for his aunt who has paid so much for his uncle...... And the Zhao family's property has been sold, and it won't work if you don't leave.
Who is it?
Who instigated her aunt to bite?
Although she lost her mother, her father and grandfather were still alive, and if she expressed her unwillingness to go to her uncle's house, his uncle would be helpless.
And in that case, her resistance was tantamount to a slap on the face of her uncle and aunt!
Dou Zhao straightened up and stopped crying, his little face full of teardrops was full of determination.
She's going to find this guy!

The uncle got the mutton fat jade bracelet without any suspense, and he handed it to his aunt to put it away: "...... I will set off after Gu Qiu's seventh and seventh days, and you will take care of everything at home. As soon as there is news from my side, you will take Aunt Shou to live at home for a few days under the pretext of taking her to live at home, and then take her with you to take her to work. When she is married, we will send her back to the Dou family to get married. He added, "Mother-in-law and uncle, don't make a noise for now." Before leaving, go see them, and when we settle down, we will write a letter to the old man to make amends. โ
My aunt didn't hesitate: "I started to arrange things at home in the past two days. โ
The maid guarding the door coughed heavily and said loudly: "Third master, sixth master!" โ
My aunt said in a low voice, "You go and get busy with you, I'll take care of Aunt Shou." โ
The uncle bowed his head slightly and pulled the curtain out.
The aunt helped Dou Zhao comb his hair and said with a smile: "Aunt Shou, is it okay to follow my aunt in the future?" โ
Her expression was stretched, and her tone was a little happy, and it could be seen that she not only had no mustard for her uncle's arrangement, but was also very happy.
Auntie, she is a very good woman!
Dou Zhao's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and his smile was as sweet as sugar.
My aunt took a bite of her.
Zhao Zhangru ran in like a snap: "Aunt Shou, Aunt Shou, I found that there is a nest of ants under your osmanthus tree, let's go and see the ants moving things." โ
Zhao Biru walked in steadily and stopped her sister: "My aunt is gone, don't run around." Aunt Shou also had to go to the mourning hall to offer incense to her aunt. โ
Zhao Zhangru didn't understand this, so he blinked his eyes and asked his mother, "Where did my aunt go?" โ
The aunt touched her daughter's head and said with some sadness: "My aunt went to the South China Sea. โ
"Oh!" Zhao Zhangru understood, "It turns out that my aunt went to see the Bodhisattva." โ
Zhao Biru turned her face away.
Aunt put Dou Zhao on the ground and told her softly: "Let's go to the yard with my sisters to play!" โ
"Hurry, hurry!" Zhao Zhangru took Dou Zhao's hand and ran out.

Today's time is not controlled, I came back late, I'm very sorry.
