Chapter 5: Returning Home

Father's carriage stopped at the second gate, several small servants were busy moving things inside, the father was wearing a royal blue iris pattern Hangzhou silk straight jacket, wearing a gray squirrel skin, Yushu stood beside the carriage in the wind, talking to Gao Sheng.

Hearing the movement, he turned his head and smiled shallowly, as handsome as the breeze and the moon.

Dou Zhao's heart was slightly sluggish.

She knew that her father was good-looking.

But she had never seen such a father.

In her impression, her father always frowned slightly, and even if he laughed, there was a bit of gloom between his eyebrows that could not be dissolved. Especially when looking at her quietly, her eyes are not happy, like a thousand-year-old well, which makes people feel chills in their hearts.

Unlike now, young, handsome, sunny, like a carefree teenager, looking at it makes people warm to go home in Chapter 5.

"Aunt Shou," her father's smiling face appeared in front of her eyes, "Daddy won't shout when he's back!" He reached out to pinch Dou Zhao's nose.

Dou Zhao subconsciously turned his head away, avoiding his father's hand.

The father was stunned for a moment, then smiled disapprovingly, took out a windmill from the carriage behind him, blew the windmill rattle, and then held it up in front of her: "This is what Daddy bought for you from Kyoto." Is it fun? ”

If she was really a child, she would be flattered to be attracted to this windmill, but she is already a mother of three children, and she is the one who bought a windmill to coax her children to play, where would she take it seriously?

Dou Zhao craned his neck and looked into the carriage.

The mother blushed, looked at the father with affection, and said coquettishly: "It's good that you come back safely, what else do you buy for us?" There is everything at home. ”

"That's different!" Father took Dou Zhao from his mother, "I bought it from Kyoto for you." ”

The mother's face turned even redder, as if she had drunk the old flowers, and her eyes were hazy.

Dou Zhao leaned over and wanted to open the curtain of the carriage, but the man's forearms were short, and he could not reach the curtain of the carriage.

Chapter 5 Returning home, the father sensed her intentions, gently patted her buttocks, and put her on the carriage: "What are you looking for?" ”

Dou Zhao ignored him and got into the carriage.

The carriage was covered with thick bedding, several scriptures such as the "Commentary on the Four Books" were casually thrown on the futon, and in the corner was a tea bucket of warm tea, and when the lid was opened, there was a purple sand beam pot.

Other than that, there is nothing else.

Dou Zhao stood in the carriage, looking around blankly.

Could she be mistaken?

Or is it...... What To's mother said is not the truth at all!

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

When my father first returned from a long trip, the first thing he did was to greet his grandfather.

Under the pretext that she wanted to arrange a family feast, the mother went back to the upper room and called all the servants who were on errands in the upper room to the hall.

"Which bastard told Sister SΓΉ those pickled words? Stand up for me yourself! She slapped the table and was furious, "If you wait for my sister to point it out, it won't be a matter of going to the outer courtyard on an errand and punishing you for a few months!" I'm going to give the old lady, call someone to come and sell her to the poor ravine, and don't want to eat a white-flour steamed bun for the rest of my life! ”

There was a dead silence in the room.

The teacup on the table was shocked by the mother: "Okay! None of them came forward. When I can't find out, isn't it? My sister is only a few years old, and I can't speak clearly, so you are talking nonsense in front of me. If my sister is older, won't you instigate it......"

Dou Zhao was accompanied by a little maid, sitting on the hot kang in the inner room of the upper room, sighing from time to time.

It's her own idea, who will jump out and admit it!

But Dou Zhao did not defend those servants.

She is now a child who can't even speak well, and with her mother's understanding, "Father brought a woman back" is naturally taught by the servant women around her, if she defends those women and servants, her mother will only be more suspicious of someone with malicious intentions, and those servant women will be even more difficult to get out.

She asked the little maid next to her, "Your name is ...... What the? "My throat still feels like it's blocked, and I can't say a complete sentence.

The little maid was flattered and said earnestly: "If you go back to the fourth lady, the slave is called vanilla." ”

She said, "I want to ...... Mother! ”

The little maid's eyes widened, and she said curiously, "Who is Tuo Niang?" ”

Dou Zhao was dumbfounded.

Someone shouted: "Seventh grandma, the seventh master is back." ”

There was a commotion outside.

The mother instructed in a slightly nervous tone: "Mama Yu, you bring the people in the fourth lady's house back first." The fourth lady will rest with me tonight. Others, do what they should do, do what they want. ”

An old voice respectfully replied "yes".

Then there was another bang.

After a while, my mother walked in with my father with a smile.

Seeing Dou Zhao sitting on the kang stupidly, her father smiled and touched her head: "This child, what's wrong today?" ”

The mother didn't tell her husband Dou Zhao that he was instigated, and smiled vaguely: "Maybe I'm too tired from playing, I'll just wait a while." ”

My father didn't ask any more questions.

The maids came in with water and fragrant pancreas, the mother served the father to clean his face and change his clothes, and Dou Zhao was also hugged by the maids, freshened up and changed clothes, and went to his grandfather together.

My grandfather lived on the west side of the house, and it was called "Tsurujudo" because of the plaque that reads "Tsurujudo in the same year" written on the middle hall. /

In front of the house is a pond rockery, and behind the house is a vine tree, which is the best place in the home.

In Dou Zhao's memory, she came to Heshoutang twice. Once when she was nine years old, her grandfather died, and according to her grandfather's will, the mourning hall was set up in Heshoutang, and she came back to mourn; Another time was to come back to participate in my grandfather's undressing ceremony.

Both times it was noisy, and she didn't even have time to take a closer look at Tsurujudo.

This time she returned to her dream, and she leaned over her mother's shoulder and looked around.

The pool is frozen, the rockery is covered with snow, the trees have withered, and the vines are just some dead stems.

She couldn't help but nod her head secretly.

It's no wonder that those old Hanlin people in Kyoto praised his grandfather for his talent.

It's a pity that my grandfather was impatient with his career, and he resigned before the age of thirty and returned to his hometown to become a farmer.

In their thoughts, they arrived at the door of the Crane Hall.

A middle-aged beautiful woman who still had charm greeted them with a smile.

Dou Zhao looked at the beautiful woman, his eyes straightened.

How could she dream of Aunt Ding's grandmother?

If you want to dream, you should dream of her grandmother!

She grew up with her grandmother.

Just thinking about it, Aunt Ding stepped forward with a smile and squeezed Dou Zhao's little hand, and said to her mother, "What's wrong with Aunt Shou today?" and those who are cowardly, do not shout ......"

The mother glanced at Aunt Ding and whispered, "I'll talk to you later." ”

Aunt Ding's grandmother understood, hugged Dou Zhao with a smile, and accompanied her mother into her grandfather's study.

Dou Zhao's heart was in a mess.

My grandfather was over forty years old and still empty, and my grandmother was in charge and gave my grandfather two concubines. One of them is Aunt Ding's grandmother, and the other is Grandmother Cui's. Aunt Ding's grandmother, like her grandmother, has no way out, and her grandmother only gave birth to one father, and their house is not prosperous. Later, the stepmother entered the door and gave birth to her younger brother Dou Xiao, and her grandmother had a meritorious heir, so the people of the Dou family changed their words to call her "Mrs. Cui", although her father still called her "aunt", but her grandchildren called her "grandmother", and Aunt Ding's grandmother has always been Aunt Ding's grandmother.

After the death of my grandmother, my grandfather decided not to continue the strings, and my grandmother Ding presided over the family feeding, and my mother entered the door and handed it over to my mother. My grandmother lives in a grange fifty miles away from Zhending County, and only comes back for a few days every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Spring Festival.

Dou Zhao felt vaguely uneasy in her heart, as if something had happened, and she was kept in the dark.

She quietly observed the people around her.

During dinner, Dou Zhao noticed that the dishes were filled with blue and white porcelain in the spring color of Yutang, and there were all kinds of dishes, cups and spoons.

When his grandfather asked his father, Dou Zhao was thrown to play on the hot kang in the study.

She saw her grandfather's bookcase with the pair of rosewood paperweights that had made it to success.

Dou Zhao thought for a while, stood on tiptoe, and counted the glass beads on the spike of the Longquan Sword hanging on the wall.

She'd seen all these things before.

At that time, they were placed in the coffin as burial objects as beloved objects of my grandfather.

She still remembered that there were only four bowls, two plates, one cup, and five spoons left in the blue and white porcelain tableware of Yutang's spring; There is only one paperweight of purple purlin; The glass beads on the sword spike of the Longquan Sword are five.

It's as if you've gone back in time, erasing the years that have been left on those objects.

Listen to my grandfather again: "...... This article is from "The Analects of the Gongzhi". You use 'the doctor's heart is rich and fair, loyal to the plan' to solve the problem, and you use 'the husband is rich and the gains and losses are all together, the public is equal to me, and Ziwen thinks that he is loyal, and I don't know if he is benevolent' to undertake the topic, which is very good, it can be seen that you have won the three flavors in the method of 'variant'......"

Dou Zhao's hands and feet were cold.

Although she knew how to read, she had never read the Four Books and the Five Classics. How can such a thing be imagined out of thin air?

"Mother, mother!" Dou Zhao was terrified in her heart, she shouted loudly to her mother, and tears fell uncontrollably.

The grandfather, who was talking to his father, sank his face.

The mother ran in from the hall in a panic: "Father-in-law, I'll take Aunt Shou to the side to play." ”

She was full of apologies and hugged Dou Zhao out of the study.

Aunt Ding and Grandma Ding greeted her.

Mother had dinner at the same table with her grandfather and father, because the nurse didn't come with her today, Aunt Ding and Grandma Ding fed Dou Zhao first, and when Dou Zhao was full, the people on the table also dispersed, leaving only some leftovers, and she was using dinner indiscriminately just now.

"What's going on?" She touched Dou Zhao's forehead, "It's good on weekdays." Could it be that you have come across something unclean? ”

Dou Zhao hugged his mother's neck stiffly, feeling the warmth of his mother's neck socket, as if in this way, he could prove that she was not meeting a group of ghosts.

"Won't it?" The mother shuddered and hesitated, "Could it be that the people who instigated Shougu did it?" ”

"It's fine." Aunt Ding said confidently, "Even if someone does something, don't be afraid, we are a family of good deeds, and the Great Immortal will bless us with peace and integrity." Later, I will ask for two watches in front of Daxian for Shou Gu, you sweep Shou Gu twice, and then burn it, and Shou Gu will be fine. ”

The mother nodded incessantly, gritted her teeth, and said, "If I find out who is uneasy and kind, I will peel her skin!" ”

"It's good to say it to your face. If you say it in front of the Seventh Master, it will be troublesome. Aunt Ding sighed, and a small maid ran in and said, "The old lady, the seventh master, the seventh grandmother, Aunt Ding, the third master of the East Mansion is here." ”
