Chapter 442: Speculation

No matter how steady Jiang Yan is, after all, she is still just a little girl, and when she heard that she was going out to play, she immediately became happy.

Dou Zhao asked her, "Where do you want to go mountaineering?" The leaves of Xiangshan have turned red these days, and it is the time to enjoy the scenery, which is a little far away. Fu'er Mountain and Xuanmo Mountain are good, but I am afraid that the emperor will also go when the time comes, and martial law will be imposed. ”

Jiang Yan has never been there, so he can't talk about where he wants to go and where he doesn't want to go.

She hugged Dou Zhao's arm and smiled: "I'll follow my sister-in-law!" ”

That tone of complete trust made Dou Zhao's heart soften.

She instructed Ruotong to go to the sewing room to see if the new clothes made for her and Jiang Yan were ready, and then instructed Ruodan to tell the kitchen to start preparing chestnut cakes and brewing chrysanthemum wine, and discussed with Jiang Yan to bring some maids and wives together.

Yizhitang suddenly became lively.

The wife of the prince of Yan'an's Hou Mansion An Shi came to visit.

Dou Zhao was a little surprised.

Yesterday, Song Han recognized his relatives, and no one from the Yan'an Hou Mansion came, so it stands to reason that they should avoid it in the past few days, how could they come to visit her in a hurry?

She invited Ann to sit in the banquet room.

An Shi didn't turn around, used refreshments, asked Brother Yuan'er, and explained his intentions: "I heard that the wife of Hu Zhubo, the governor of the Five Armies, told your family cousin about family affairs, and you agreed." I don't know if this family business has been decided? ”

Dou Zhao's heart jumped slightly, and he said with a smile: "It's just a mention, the prince hasn't had a chance to say it yet, how can it be decided!" ”

An Shi exhaled a long breath and said with a smile: "We are not friends on the side, so I will have something to say." When I first met your Miss Cousin, I had the heart to protect her as a matchmaker, but I didn't know what kind of family you were looking for for Miss Cousin, so I hesitated to this day. Now I heard that someone came to propose marriage to your cousin, and I became anxious again, for fear that you would give your cousin a promise. She said, pursing her lips and smiling, "The other party is a brother of my mother's family." is twenty-eight years old this year, although the age is not the same as Miss Cousin, but this age also has the advantage of being old, at least I know that it hurts.

"His first wife is hard to produce. Left behind a sister, who is also nine years old this year, and in a few years, it will be time to get married. There are two granges in the family. A crude medicine shop, a pawnshop, and a grain and oil store, the family can't be called a family wealth. But you don't have to worry about eating and drinking. He is an honest and loyal person, and he is afraid that his sister will be wronged, so he has dragged it on until now.

"You discuss it with the prince. Look at me, this brother, he can look at it. ”

Not to mention the age. It's not a good marriage yet.

Presumably An's thought the same way, so he wanted to be a matchmaker but didn't move for a long time. Now that they both have the meaning of looking at each other as introduced by Mrs. Hu, she has no scruples to ask for marriage.

This is like throwing bricks and attracting jade, and the original line paper that was included in Mrs. Hu has an effect.

As for Song Motong disagreeing, this is like a blind man eating rice balls, and everyone knows it in their hearts. It's just an excuse to shirk, Dou Zhao agreed, could Song Hei still stop it?

Dou Zhao nodded with a smile.

An's heart was slightly settled, and he gossiped with Dou Zhao for a while, and got up to say goodbye.

Jiang Yan, who listened clearly in the inner room, did not show the slightest shyness, but was pale and silent.

Dou Zhao sensed that something was wrong, and sent the maid to ask her in a low voice, "Do you think that the conditions of this family are not as good as you want?" ”

Jiang Yan shook his head, wanting to speak and stopped.

Dou Zhao sighed.

Li Miao Niang is really harmful!

is a good girl, and she has developed such a cowardly temperament.

She gently admonished her: "We are one of the few relatives you have here, what can you not say to us?" If you are afraid of trouble and blame, you will be sad, and we will be heartbroken when we see it. If there is anything to say at this time, even if it is not as good as me and your brother's intentions, but you are living comfortably, and we can rest assured when we look at it! ”

Jiang Yan listened to the rolling of his eyes, shook Dou Zhao's hand tightly, and said in a low voice: "I, I don't want to get married." ”

Is it because the trauma of the past is still in her heart?

Dou Zhao said: "It's not your fault what happened in the past, you are also a victim." We won't force you to get married, but you will also try to forget everything you used to do and start your life again. Good no good? ”

Jiang Yan nodded gratefully.

When Song Mo came back in the evening, Dou Zhao couldn't help but sigh with him.

Song Mo didn't make a sound, but when he went to the study to practice calligraphy, he called Lu Ming over: "The one surnamed Wei and the one surnamed He, you have to take good care of them, don't let them have any accidents." ”

Lu Ming shuddered, said yes, and retreated.

Song Mo finished writing three pieces of paper without saying a word, and then returned to the inner room.

It's like opening a window, and everyone just discovered the scene in the window, and for a few days, someone came to Jiang Yan as a matchmaker.

Dou Zhao was very embarrassed, and said to Jiang Lizhu, who came to visit the house: "If I don't agree with any of them, it will seem that I am hypocritical, and I can't look down on this or that." But if I agree to look at each other, Sister Yan will not be in the mood for a while. If I had known this, I should not have agreed to Mrs. Hu so quickly. ”

Jiang Lizhu smiled and said, "You didn't expect that there were so many speculators, right?" ”

Venture?

If you think about it, that's really the case!

Dou Zhao smiled dumbly and said, "It's still your mind that is clear, and you enlighten me with one word." ”

Jiang Lizhu smiled and asked, "Why didn't you see your cousin?" Is he busy these days? ”

Dou Zhao was very surprised, and said with a smile: "Do you have something to do with your cousin?" He is on night duty in the palace this year, and he will not be able to leave the palace until the next afternoon. Why don't you come back tomorrow after the unitary hour? ”

Jiang Lizhu hesitated for a long time and said, "I do have something to do with my cousin...... I shouldn't hide it from my sister-in-law, but I don't know how to tell my sister-in-law for a while......"

Dou Zhao is not that kind of stingy person, not to mention that although she and Jiang Lizhu have only been in contact for a few months, Jiang Lizhu is a frank person, since she doesn't know how to say it, Dou Zhao naturally won't ask.

"I'm not as cautious as you think." She smiled and quipped, "Why don't you come over early tomorrow morning and play with me for a day, and then go back after talking to your cousin and having dinner." ”

Jiang Lizhu thought about it and responded with a smile.

The next day, Dou Zhao arranged a banquet to entertain her.

Jiang Yan enthusiastically accompanied her to watch the flowers and enjoy the scenery.

The two met Miao Ansu in the gazebo in the back garden.

Ruotong, who was serving beside Jiang Yan and Jiang Lizhu, hurriedly said: "This is the second wife in our house. He introduced the two to Miao Ansu again: "This is Miss Jiang." This is the thirteenth aunt of the Jiang family, Wu Shao's grandmother. ”

Both sides bow their knees.

Miao Ansu then realized who Jiang Yan was.

She couldn't help but look at Jiang Yan a few more times.

Jiang Yan was a little uncomfortable and hid beside Jiang Lizhu.

Miao Ansu looked at it with a flash of eyes, exchanged a few words with Jiang Yan and Jiang Lizhu, and went back to his new house.

Jiang Yan let out a long breath.

Jiang Lizhu couldn't help but shake her head and said, "You are a serious Miss Yan of the British Mansion." She is a daughter-in-law, what are you afraid of? ”

Jiang Yan muttered, "I, I'm just a little unaccustomed." He begged her again: "Good sister, don't tell my sister-in-law." My sister-in-law and brother found out. It's time to cāo for me again. ”

Jiang Lizhu patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not the one who stirs up trouble." ”

Jiang Yan curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, his small face was like a blooming pear blossom. Gentle and delicate.

Jiang Lizhu sighed.

The two returned to Yizhitang, and the housekeeper's grandmother was taking the chrysanthemum wine brewed in the new days for Dou Zhao to taste.

Dou Zhao just sniffed it, but asked the little maid to fill a small cup for each of them. Laughing: "You can taste it too!" ”

It is made with the finest thick sake. Sweet and creamy in the mouth.

Jiang Lizhu praised.

Dou Zhao asked her to bring the two altars back: "Give your father-in-law and mother-in-law a taste, it can be regarded as a little bit of our heart." ”

Jiang Lizhu knew that Dou Zhao was giving her face, so she responded with a smile, although she didn't say anything, she kept this love in her heart, and thought that if she had the opportunity in the future, she would definitely take revenge on Dou Zhao for her kindness.

The three of them ate and drank in the inner room. Teasing Brother Yuan, who had just woken up, Song Mo came back.

Jiang Lizhu and Song Mo went to the study to talk.

Dou Zhao and Jiang Yan tried the clothes and jewelry worn on the mountaineering ground during the Double Ninth Festival in the inner room.

When Song Mo returned to the house, there were things everywhere on the kang chair, and Brother Yuan grabbed a big red handkerchief in his hand and didn't let go, and whoever moved him flattened his mouth and cried.

Everyone was amused and laughed.

Song Mo teased: "This kid won't be a gentleman when he grows up, right?" ”

Dou Zhao said with a smile: "Boyan also grabbed a box of rouge when he caught Zhou, and when he grew up, he didn't enter the Hanlin Academy with the title of the gold list!" ”

"Oh, and that?" Song Mo was very interested and said, "How can there be a box of rouge when you catch Zhou?" ”

Ordinary people expect their children and grandchildren to have great achievements, and they will not put these things.

Dou Zhao smiled: "My father put it." When my eleventh cousin's seven catties caught Zhou, my father also put a bead flower on it, and when my sixth uncle found out, the people of the Han family arrived, and the sixth aunt said that the sixth uncle had to secretly pray that the seven catties would not catch the bead flower. ”

Jiang Yan leaned back and leaned back with laughter.

Song Mo thought of the deserted Jing'an Temple Hutong, and said with a smile: "On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, we also asked our father-in-law to climb the mountain together, right?" ”

Dou Zhao never thought of inviting his father on a trip together.

She was silent for a moment and smiled, "Okay! I'm going to ask Daddy to see if he made an appointment that day! ”

Song Mo bowed his head and went to the study.

Dou Zhao and Jiang Yan accompanied Jiang Lizhu for a dinner, and then sent Jiang Lizhu to the door of the weeping flowers, and when the sedan chair left, they went back to the room to rest.

On the bed, Song Mo told Dou Zhao about Jiang Lizhu's intentions: "The fifth uncle has spread the news of making trouble with me for silver, and the eldest aunt has heard about it in Haozhou, so I asked my thirteenth cousin to ask me what is going on?" Let me not meet with the fifth uncle, saying that she will write a letter to reprimand the fifth uncle, and let the thirteenth cousin bring me a letter, saying that the thing given to me is mine, this is also the wish of the eldest uncle, if the fifth uncle is not convinced, let the fifth uncle go to her to theorize ......"
