Hearing that Dou Shibang was coming, his father personally went to welcome him in.

He carried a basket of oranges in his hand. Because they are all family members, my mother and Aunt Ding did not avoid it. Everyone saw the ceremony, Dou Shibang pointed to the orange, and said to his grandfather with a smile: "It was sent back by the eldest brother, I specially took some for you to taste." Then he took out an orange from the basket and handed it to Dou Zhao: "Aunt Shou, eat oranges." ”

Dou Zhaoren was still a little sluggish.

Mother poked her.

She muttered "thank you".

Dou Shibang smiled and touched Dou Zhao's head.

Grandfather said, "Go to the kang and sit!" I have a big red robe here that is sent by Shen Xing. ”

Aunt Ding and Grandma Ding immediately turned around and went to the small tea room next to her to make tea.

Dou Shibang was also not polite, and sat cross-legged on the kang opposite the seventh chapter puzzled grandfather.

Dou Zhao held the orange, quietly snuggled in his mother's arms, and stared at Dou Shibang without blinking.

The third uncle, who passed away ten years ago, is now standing in front of her alive and telling her to eat oranges!

When she was in the grange, the third uncle would visit her grandmother every once in a while, and every time she went, he would bring her some gadgets, or a new handkerchief, or a beautiful head flower, or rare food, and once, he gave her a pair of Wuxi clay dolls. With big eyes, a round face, and a red and gold-painted jacket, he smiled and made the children in the grange envious. She placed the dolls on the windowsill until she left the Grange at the age of twelve, when they were taken into cages and stayed in the Marquis of Jining as she traveled from Dingxian to Kyoto.

In those days, every time the third uncle arrived, it was like a ray of sunshine shining on her, making her shine and dazzling.

She never forgot jì.

Dou Zhao's vision was a little blurry, and he heard Dou Shibang laugh and say, "...... The eldest brother's body is getting worse day by day. Lan Ge'er wrote a few days ago, saying that since the beginning of autumn, the eldest brother has had three angina pectoris. It's just that because the river work is not finished, I don't dare to slack off Chapter 7. The eldest brother wrote a letter, saying that after these days, he was ready to resign and go home, and devote himself to studying the I Ching with his uncle. ”

Grandfather laughed and said, "Although the career is glorious, the case is also bitter." Who made him an official! As he spoke, his smile thinned, and he said with a straight face, "His angina is getting worse day by day, can you ask the doctor to see it?" ”

"Jiangnan famous doctors have been invited." Dou Zhengbang said, "But everyone has no good prescription." It's just a matter of recuperation. Is Big Brother the one who can rest......"

Dou Zhao listened on the sidelines, but his thoughts were already far away.

The eldest uncle's name is Dou Shixiang, and he is the eldest son of the eldest uncle. He was thirty-eight years older than his father and four years younger than his grandfather. Like his grandfather, he studied with his great-uncle since he was a child, and he said that he was an uncle and nephew with his grandfather, but in fact he was like a brother. By the time Dou Zhao remembered, he had already died. It is said that it is to repair the river, and he died of exhaustion in the office of the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, and the deeds are also written on the bluestone tablet of the ancestral hall. In the fourth year of the establishment of the military, there was a big flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and many embankments were washed down, only the section of the embankment built by the eldest uncle when he was in office was unharmed. The great uncle's political achievements were re-revealed, and the emperor rewarded the eldest uncle for this special saint.

Lan Ge'er is the only son of his eldest uncle at the age of thirty-six, and he passed the examination at the age of twenty-one, but he failed many times after that. The emperor remembered the merits of his eldest uncle, and favored him as the lord of Jurong County. When he came to Kyoto to thank him, the Dou clan people in Kyoto took the wind and washed the dust for him. Dou Zhao was not close to the Dou family because of his stepmother, so he only sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.

Do you want to remind the third uncle?

But will the third uncle listen to what she says?

Dou Zhao hesitated.

Aunt Ding and Grandma Ding led two maids and walked in with refreshments.

Her mother put her on the ground and helped Aunt Ding and Grandma Ding serve tea and set up snacks.

Dou Shibang took a sip of the teacup, praised "good tea", and then sighed: "This is really 'relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the water to eat the water'!" ”

Shen Xing is the character of Dou Zhao's second uncle Dou Shiqi, and he is the younger brother of Dou Shixiang, eight years younger than Dou Shixiang and four years older than Dou Shibang. He was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of twenty-six, and since then he has been working as an official outside, and he has been in the position of political envoy in Jiangxi.

Dou Zhao had only heard of this person, but had never seen it at all-when she was really determined, he was an official outside; He returned to his hometown, and she had already married in Kyoto.

The big red robe is produced in Wuyi, and listening to the tone of the third uncle, he should be an official in Fujian now.

Grandfather laughed when he heard this, and said: "'Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water', the key is a 'relying on', how can it compare to you?" We're counting on you for dinner! ”

There are many officials in the Dou family outside, and there are even more people who "don't listen to things outside the window and only read virtuous books" for the imperial examination.

Dou Shibang is in charge of the general affairs of the east and west Dou.

He laughed dryly twice when he heard this, and his expression was dumbfounded.

Dou Zhao remembered.

The third uncle not only participated in the township test with the second, fourth, and fifth uncles, but also participated in the township test with the sixth uncle, father, lobby brother Dou Wenchang, second cousin Dou Yuchang, third cousin Dou Xiuchang, and fourth cousin Dou Rongchang...... It seems that I have never been able to hit.

Seeing this, my father picked up the teacup and said in a loud voice: "Drink tea, drink tea!" He also commanded his mother in a loud voice, "The third brother is rare to visit." You go and talk to the person on the stove, cook a few side dishes with wine, and I'll have two drinks with my father and third brother. ”

"No, no." Dou Shibang glanced at his father and said with a smile, "Big brother asked me to bring a few words to my uncle." It was getting late, and I was going back after I got the word. He added, "It's almost the New Year, and there are still a lot of things waiting for me at home!" ”

"That won't delay the effort." The grandfather smiled, but the father pulled the mother, "Since the third brother has something to say to his father, then we will go back to the house first." Regardless of his mother's surprise, he pushed his mother out of Heshoutang, "The third brother must have something important when he comes at this time." ”

The mother was relieved, she hadn't seen her father for a long time, and her eyes were as soft as vines when she looked at her father: "That's good." The concubine went back to serve the prime minister, so let's rest early! ”

"Good, good, good." The father responded, and looked back at Tsurujudo, looking absent-minded.

Dou Zhao followed his father's gaze and looked over.

It was quiet all around, the snow shimmered in the moonlight, and the orange light in my grandfather's study was exceptionally warm.

Dou Zhaohu was suspicious.

The mother didn't notice anything, and talked and laughed with the father all the way back to the upper room.

A servant woman with gray temples greeted her, shouting "Seventh Master" and "Seventh Grandmother" with blessings.

Her appearance is very strict, but her eyes are very gentle.

Dou Zhao had a good impression when he saw it.

The mother handed her over to the woman: "Mother Yu, today you take Aunt Shou to rest in the warm pavilion!" ”

Yu's mother smiled and replied "yes".

The father said strangely: "What about Shougu's nurse?" ”

"She had a cold." The mother said, and went straight to the house, "I'm afraid that she will be sick and give it to Aunt Shou." ”

My father had to follow.

The group entered the hall.

Father and mother went to the inner room, and Yu's mother carried Dou Zhao to the warm pavilion behind the inner room.

She hadn't waited for that woman yet, how could she leave her mother like this!

"Mother, mother!" She writhed in Yu's mother's arms.

"Fourth Miss, don't cry, don't cry!" Mother Yu coaxed her and sped up, "Mother Yu is playing with you to turn the rope, okay?" ”

Father hesitated: "Otherwise, let Aunt Shou sleep with us today!" ”

"This ......," the mother looked at her father with a wry look.

As if he hadn't seen it, his father instructed Yu's mother: "Bring Aunt Shou over!" ”

Yu's mother hesitated, glanced at her mother, saw that her mother bit her lip and didn't speak, and said with a smile: "The seventh master has worked hard all the way......

"If you want to hug it, you can hold it!" The father was displeased.

Yu's mother no longer hesitated and handed over Dou Zhao to her mother.

The father took over and carried Dou Zhao into the inner room.

The maids came in with hot water and handkerchiefs to serve and freshen up.

The mother served the father, but the father teased Dou Zhao, Dou Zhao adhered to his mother tightly, coaxing, but there was a strange warmth and liveliness, Dou Zhao was satisfied and happy.

Finally quieted down, Dou Zhao pulled his mother's shirt and lay between his parents.

The mother propped her elbows on her cheeks and spoke softly to her father: "Do you still live in the alley next to Jing'an Temple?" Is Baoshan with you? The hand crossed Dou Zhao, gently stroked his father's arm, the big red embroidered and Di Lian's belly pocket was bright and bright in the light, and the snow white and abundant could not hide most of the mountains, seeing Dou Zhao's face was red, he hurriedly closed his eyes, and silently read in his heart: Mother, I know that Xiao Biesheng is newly married, I shouldn't ruin your good deeds, but I can't help it. I'll leave when I help you get that woman away......

The father closed his eyes, snorted twice, and said, "Hurry up and sleep!" Tomorrow morning, my father will test me! As he spoke, he rolled over.

The mother's hand was empty.

She pouted.

The father snored softly.

The room was even more silent.

The mother lay down, gently twisted Dou Zhao's little nose, and whispered, "You little villain!" ”

Such a mother, real and innocent, made Dou Zhao almost laugh.

A maid ran in with messy steps, and said through the tent: "Seventh Master, Seventh Grandma, Aunt Ding and Grandma Ding are here, saying that the old lady has something important to do with the Seventh Master, and let the Seventh Master go over immediately." ”

The mother was stunned.

The father, who was asleep, got up and said, "What did you say?" The old lady asked me to go now? The voice was tense.

The maid answered "yes".

The father hesitated for a moment.

The mother said, "Then you can go over quickly!" Maybe it has something to do with what the eldest uncle asked the third uncle to bring......" he said as he sat up.

"yes, yes!" The father muttered, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, ignoring the mother shouting behind him for him to add another dress, and hurriedly followed Aunt Ding and Grandma to Heshoutang.

Mother Yu walked over lightly and said in a low voice, "Seventh Grandma, do you want to send someone over to take a look?" ”

"I don't want it!" The mother said with gains and losses, "It's not good if it's about the affairs of the court...... Isn't there still Aunt Ding's grandmother? I'll just ask her when the time comes. ”

Dou Zhao was full of doubts in his heart.

Aunt Ding's grandmother hung her head from the time she entered the door to the time she left, not looking at her mother squarely.
