Chapter VIII Incidents
Dou Zhao had the heart to hint at his mother for a few words, but he felt a headache when he thought that there was still a room of maids and daughters-in-law who had not been disposed of in the wing room over there.
She scrambled to her feet and sat on the bed and shouted "Daddy".
If the mother was smart enough, she should have taken her to her father.
If the grandfather blames her, as long as the responsibility is pushed on her, will the grandfather still have a problem with an ignorant child?
However, she clearly overestimated her mother's wisdom and her own influence.
Seeing her making a fuss, the mother frowned unhappily: "It's so late, why hasn't this child slept yet?" Then he instructed Mama Yu: "Hold my sister down!" She was making me have a headache. β
Mama Yu smiled apologetically at her mother, and helped her dress quickly in Chapter 8 of the incident: "Fourth Miss, be good, Mama Yu will take you to find the nurse!" Don't cry......"
Dou Zhao really wanted to learn from those village women in the grange and rolled her eyes at her mother to show disdain.
How can a mother be so naΓ―ve?
If she were like her mother, I am afraid that she would have been eaten to the bones.
Dou Zhao hugged the curtain hanging next to the bed, crying and shouting for "Daddy", but was finally forcibly carried by Mama Yu to the warm pavilion behind the inner room.
Without a mother, Dou Zhao also stopped, and Mama Yu put her on the kang with a wilt.
Mama Yu silently helped her straighten her messy hair, seeing that Dou Zhao's eyes were a little dazed, and said in a low voice: "Do you also think that today's events are a little unusual?" I'm going to take a sneak peek, you just stay here obediently and don't make noise, okay? β
Dou Zhao suddenly came to his senses.
It's really a real person who doesn't show his face!
I can't see that Mama Yu is so shrewd and capable.
Her eyes were wide open, and she nodded like a chick pecking rice.
Mama Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled kindly, and said with some emotion: "Our fourth young lady is really smart, she is young, but she knows everything in her heart. It's not like the seventh grandmother ......" Speaking of the incident in the eighth chapter, she slammed it and said to herself, "I'm talking to a child about this...... and then turned around and called a maid in: "Xiaoxiao, you are here with Miss Four, I'll go to Heshoutang to have a look." β
Smiling at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he looks thoughtful and looks gentle and steady.
Hearing Mama Yu's words, she was very surprised, but quickly answered "yes" and said very smartly: "If there is anything, I will immediately ask Shuangzhi to call you." β
Mama Yu nodded with satisfaction and walked out of the warm pavilion quickly.
Hanxiao and Dou Zhao got on the hot kang, seeing that Dou Zhao didn't cry or make trouble, he was as quiet as an adult, she smiled slightly, and asked Dou Zhao softly: "Fourth Miss, can I shoot you sleep?" β
Dou Zhao shook his head.
The smiling smile became more and more intense, and said, "Then I can accompany you to turn the rope?" β
Does she like to flip ropes?
Dou Zhao shook his head.
smiled and said, "Then what do you want to do?" β
"Wait...... Momma. Dou Zhao said.
looked at Dou Zhao with a smile.
Dou Zhao ignored her, pulled a big pillow over, and leaned on it in a daze.
smiled and helped Dou Zhao build a thin quilt.
She felt something strange from her father's attitude towards her mother, where did Mama Yu see that something was wrong?
What else did she not know?
Dou Zhao pondered, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.
No, we have to wait until Mama Yu comes back.
She wanted to know what was going on!
And Tu Niang, what kind of person is she?
Dou Zhao shook his head and forcibly separated the upper and lower eyelids.
But after a few breaths, the eyelids drooped again.
Can't sleep!
When she falls asleep, maybe she'll go back again.
What if she returns to the dream of wisteria flowers?
"Smiling," Dou Zhao opened his eyes vigorously, "Mama, find!" β
"No way!" smiled and waved his hand gently, "I'm here to accompany you." β
"I, obedient!" Dou Zhao said.
After thinking for a long time with a smile, seeing that Dou Zhao's expression was becoming more and more firm, he hesitated: "Okay, I'll go and see what Mama Yu is doing?" Then he called Shuangzhi in.
Shuangzhi is a little girl with a round face, and she accompanies Dou Zhao silently.
After a while, he turned back with a smile: "Fourth Miss, Mama Yu and Mrs. Yu went to the old lady." β
"Oh!" Dou Zhao asked Hanxiao to find Mama Yu.
Xiaoxiao didn't agree anyway: "...... was discovered, and the slave maid had to shed her skin if she didn't die. β
That's just as well.
Dou Zhao is in charge of the family and knows how powerful it is.
She could only wait for Mama Yu and her mother to come back, hating why she was tied up, instead of doing whatever she wanted like in another dream with wisteria flowers.
Time passed little by little, and there was no shadow of Mother and Mama Yu, and Dou Zhao's eyelids were glued together, and they could no longer be separated.
She fell into a sweet sleep.
It seemed that there was only a moment, and it seemed that there were tens of millions of years, and Dou Zhao woke up.
Without thinking about it, she jumped.
Someone shouted "Miss Four" next to him.
Dou Zhao opened his eyes and saw Shuangzhi's round face smiling.
She let out a long sigh of relief.
Still in a dream.
She suddenly became steady, and asked Shuangzhi: "Smiling?" Momma? Mother? β
"Hanxiao was called by Mama Yu." Shuangzhi smiled and helped Dou Zhao get dressed, and asked the little maid to pour hot water in.
The warm pavilion was lively.
Only then did Dou Zhao realize that the sky was already bright.
Her eyes narrowed slightly and asked Shuangzhi: "Smiling, where is it?" β
Shuangzhi smiled: "At the old lady's." As he spoke, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the warm curtain was lifted, and someone looked in.
Her face sank and she whispered, "Who is outside the warm curtain, sneaky?" β
Immediately, a little maid went to lift the warm curtain.
The person behind the warm curtain had nothing to hide, and wrung his fingers uneasily: "I, I'm looking for Miss Four......" and then bluffed and shouted, "It's Miss Four who asked me to help her inquire about personal ......"
Dou Zhao followed the prestige and saw vanilla.
Her heart moved slightly, and she shouted "vanilla" loudly.
Twinswig and the little maid were full of confusion, but they still let the herbs in.
Vanilla proudly raised her chin towards Shuangzhi and the little maid, ran to Dou Zhao doggedly, and said in a low voice: "Fourth Miss, I found what you said." After she finished speaking, her tone paused slightly, and her eyes looked at her with a certain expectation.
Dou Zhao smiled slightly.
In the Hou Mansion of Jining, she has seen a lot of such maids.
In order to get ahead, as long as they can see a glimmer of hope, they will do everything they can to seize it.
She is not averse to such people and practices.
If everyone is content with the status quo, then what is the head of life?
It's just that Vanilla's actions are too impetuous, pinning her hopes on a child who is not yet sensible, and she is less thoughtful and thoughtful. But she still has to thank vanilla. Otherwise, how could she have news of her mother?
Dou Zhao said to Shuangzhi: "Reward, vanilla!" β
Shuangzhi couldn't make up his mind.
As the main family, the fourth lady is too ...... Younger!
Do you want to ask Grandma Seven to show you first?
She pondered, saw that Vanilla's eyes lit up, and she had bent her knees to thank Dou Zhao, and then came to Dou Zhao and chirped: "Tuo Niang is the little maid in the backyard pulp washing room, and she was picked up by the seventh grandmother when she went to Daci Temple to offer incense. What are you looking for her? Do you want me to call her for you? She's a good talker. In the pulp washing room, dirty work and tiring work are rushed to do, and the sisters-in-law in the pulp washing room like her very much. As soon as I inquired, they led me to the ......."
Dou Zhao suddenly realized.
The people who can be errand by her mother or her side are all servants with heads and faces in the Dou Mansion, how can they know the rough maids in the pulp washing room? On the contrary, as the rough maid of Dou Mansion, she did not participate in what happened back then, but she just heard about it afterwards. This also explains why Tuo Niang's words do not match the facts......
Her eyelids jumped.
Fact!
Could it be that in the bottom of her heart, she thinks that everything that happened in front of her is real?
So where is she?
Some of the thoughts that she had ignored earlier swirled in her mind again, making Dou Zhao's heart beat and his body cold.
A little maid rushed in.
"Sister Shuangzhi, something is wrong." She looked flustered, as if she was facing a great enemy, "Heshoutang, it's a commotion!" β
Dou Zhao's heart suddenly.
Shuangzhi said anxiously, "What's wrong?" β
"When the seventh master was in Kyoto, he was fascinated by a woman," her face turned pale, "I wanted to admit that woman into the door, and I also invited the third master of the East Mansion to talk about it." The old lady was so angry that she pulled her sword to kill the seventh master! β
"Ahh The house was a mess, "What happened?" β
"Fortunately, the third master didn't leave and stopped the old lady." The little maid said, "But the seventh master is determined to let that woman enter the door, and in winter, he knelt in the snow and begged the old lady to agree." As a result, the seventh grandmother looked for it, and the seventh master begged the seventh grandmother. made the seventh grandmother so angry that she not only didn't agree, but also cried and scolded the seventh master for being ungrateful, and even the old lady couldn't interject. When the third master saw it, he asked Dafu to quietly invite the third grandmother over. β
"No wonder Sister Xiaoxiao disappeared after being called by Mama Yu!"
"Isn't that woman more beautiful than Grandma Seven?"
"Did the old lady agree to the woman's entrance?"
"Isn't there more than one master in the family?"
The maid was talking nonsense, and no one paid attention to Dou Zhao.
Dou Zhao sat there stupidly like a clay sculpture, extremely shocked.
She has been very puzzled since she presided over the middle feed of the Jining Hou Mansion and became the head of the family, how could the third uncle, as the elder of the Dou family who is respected by the Dou family because of his good management of general affairs, go to the grange to visit his grandmother, who was born in the concubine room and has no intersection with the Dou family at all?
It turned out that he had gone to visit her.
Tuo Niang said that her mother was forced to hang herself.
As the third aunt who helped his father talk about Xiang, his heart should be full of unspeakable guilt for her, that's why it's like this, right?
Dou Zhao thought of the way the third uncle looked at her.
Always loving with a little pity.
There is also a will left by the third uncle after his death, to leave her several famous calligraphy and paintings of the previous dynasty that he collected.
At that time, the Dou family had not yet separated, the third uncle had no private property, and the only thing left to his biological sons Dou Fanchang and Dou Huachang was a few inkstones and jade.
She always thought it was because the third uncle liked her very much.
It can be seen that what people see is not necessarily the truth, what they hear is not necessarily the truth, and even what they feel is not necessarily the truth.
Dou Zhao said in a hoarse voice: "I want it, Tuo Niang!" β
