Chapter 172 cha cuò

Wei Tingzhen got the news that Chen Qushui and Honggu visited Jing'an Temple Hutong, Mao'er Hutong and Huaishu Hutong within one day, and his heart was cold.

"According to what you say, Chen Qushui and that Honggu still live in the shop?" She asked Mama Jin, "And when they went to visit the Jingjing Temple Hutong, Lord Dou didn't even leave them for lunch?" ”

"Hmm!" Mama Jin nodded, "Not only that, but they didn't even see Mrs. Seven's face. ”

"How so?" Wei Tingzhen's brows furrowed tightly.

Mama Jin, who had been mercilessly scolded by Dou Zhao, had some schadenfreude in her heart, naturally hoping that Dou Zhao would be as unlucky as possible. Her eyes rolled slightly, and she whispered to Wei Tingzhen: "However, when they came out of Dou Ge's hometown, they carried a few boxes of dim sum, and they looked like they were calling Huazi. ”

Wei Tingzhen's face was even more ugly.

She thought about it for a while and went to the Marquis Mansion of Jining.

Tian was dumbfounded when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect Dou Zhao's situation in the Dou family to be so difficult, and he muttered for a while: "Then what can be done?" It's just an extra pair of chopsticks to eat, so it's like I raised an extra daughter. ”

Wei Tingzhen was not convinced, and said: "Mother, have you ever thought about it, the Wang family is a stepmother, and she hates the daughter born to the previous lady, that is the long-term affection of people, but it is reasonable." But look at it, for her dowry, the account room begged for two families, and the family looked perfunctory, this is not simply not pleasing the stepmother, maybe Dou Zhao's character is problematic. Our family Tingyu is dignified and well-behaved, my father and mother have invited Mr. to enlighten him at home since he was a child, and told him the truth of being a man, a little older, and I was afraid that he would get mixed up with those gentlemen, so I invited the master to tell him to shoot arrows, I don't know how much effort it took to shoot. Among the noble families in Kyoto, how many are there like our family Tingyu? Which famous lady is not worthy? Why should you suffer such a grievance? We grew up holding him in our hands! ”

Tian cried when he heard this: "Then what do you say?" No wonder you can still retreat? If you want to blame, you can blame me! If I hadn't gone to visit the Zhao family because of the troubles, there would have been no such family business...... I originally thought that Xi Dou was thin, and Dou Zhao was the eldest daughter, no matter what, Dou Yuan would not neglect her. Who knew it would turn out like this? ”

Wei Tingyu's heart skipped a beat when he listened.

She sat down beside her mother, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her mother, and said in a low voice: "Mother, otherwise, we will quit this family business, right?" ”

Tian heard it as if he had been struck by lightning, and waved his hand again and again: "No, no!" Ting Yu kept the system, but Dou Zhao waited for him for three years. Besides, this family business was originally taken from the He family, so it was withdrawn...... Why can't you say it? What's more, Dou Zhao is not at fault......"

"Mother, listen to me." Wei Tingzhen's expression firmly grasped his mother's hand, which made Tian's heart calm slightly, and he calmed down and listened to his daughter's words, "The affairs of this world are not for anyone to say - you look at Song Mo, the prince of the British Mansion, he has killed so many people, who doesn't know what happened to their family, but the father and son go out, and they have to be affectionate, someone asked Song Mo about the killing, and the people of the Song family insisted that those guards were thieves, even if the emperor asked, he didn't show his tone for a long time, and he fooled this matter by force." Ting Yu will be removed from the service in two or three months, isn't he doing business with Gu Yu and Song Mo? When the time came, in front of the Dou family, they only said that they were busy with this matter and postponed the wedding date. Dou Zhao is so unpopular at home, there must be people who don't like her to marry. It's hard for others to say, then the Wang family ......," she said, raising her eyebrows, "As long as we find a way to talk to the Wang family, I will allow the Wang family to move around as a friend, and a concubine of the Wang family will be corrected, how can I not be tempted." When the time comes, it will not be easy for the Wang family to find Dou Zhao's fault. Mother, as long as you have a heart for this matter, how can you not do it! ”

"But in this way, wouldn't it hurt Dou Zhao?" Tian struggled, "She is no longer seen at home, if she withdraws from her family, how can she live......

"Mother, you're wrong." Wei Tingzhen said softly, "Dou Zhao's fifth uncle is a pavilion elder, and I don't know how many scholars want to marry the Dou family. If the children of the family can't make it, can't those from small families also be good? Maybe she will quit her family and find the right person to live a better life! ”

Tian was still a little unbearable.

Wei Tingzhen was angry: "Mother, why did I marry into the Zhang family in the first place?" If you let your brother marry that Dou Zhao, then what will happen to me? She said, thinking of the grievances she had suffered in the Zhang family in the past few years, she couldn't help sobbing, "Our family originally had no family background, and my younger brother got Song Mo's support, and he was about to make money every day, which family's famous lady couldn't marry him?" I'm already like this, if my brother doesn't have a good marriage, what's the point of me living? What hope is there for this day? After saying that, he covered his face and cried muffledly.

Tian was said to be sad, and hugged Wei Tingzhen and cried.

For a time, Tian's inner room became a water town.

※※※※※

When Wang Yingxue received Wei Tingzhen's name post, she was very surprised, and said to Mama Hu: "Doesn't she know that the Dou family's middle feed is presided over by Gao Sheng's daughter-in-law?" When she said this, she couldn't help but have a sarcastic look on her face.

Mama Hu took a washed plum and handed it to Wang Yingxue, and said with a smile: "The fourth lady is getting married, in front of her in-laws, you can't say that you don't care about things now, right?" ”

Wang Yingxue sneered, threw the post on the kang, and said, "Now that you know that you want me to give them face, what did you do earlier?" He turned around and said "no" to the maid who came.

Mama Hu glanced at the maid, and then persuaded Wang Yingxue: "The fourth lady will definitely marry in the alley of Jing'an Temple, and the fifth and sixth wives will come to help at that time, it is your opportunity, why do you bet with the fourth lady?" Miss Fifth is also thirteen years old this year, and she has reached the age of saying goodbye......"

If the people of the Dou family have the intention to suppress her and let out these things in the family, who will marry Dou Ming from those big families with clean doors?

Wang Yingxue's eyes were red, and tears fell: "Dou Shiying's heart is too ruthless!" Dou Zhao is his daughter, isn't Sister Ming his own? If I hadn't fallen for him back then, why would I have ended up like this? Then he complained about his mother's sister-in-law, Gao, "When my father was in trouble, how well I treated her, Brother Nan was so sick that she only had one breath left, if it weren't for me, she would have died a long time ago." Now that her life is better, her mother's brother has become a feudal official, and he turns his head and doesn't recognize people. I just wanted her to help her find a good family for Sister Ming in the nephew of the Gao family, but she pushed back, for fear that I would rely on Brother Nan, so I hurriedly helped Brother Nan order her niece Gao Mingzhu......"

Mama Hu was silent.

Since Wang Yingxue was robbed of the rights of a housewife, the Wang family has gradually become estranged from Wang Yingxue, so she will say it every few days.

is either complaining about the Gao family, or counting the Pang family, or talking about how he was coaxed by Dou Shiying to become a concubine......

How can there be a little bit of the neatness and refreshment of the cotton business back then...... Like a typical wealthy woman......

Thinking of this, Mama Hu herself was taken aback.

She couldn't help but look at Wang Yingxue carefully.

The withered yellow face, the stunned look, chattered and complained...... Whether anyone listened or not, Wang Yingxue said to herself.

Mama Hu's tears were about to fall, and she couldn't help interrupting Wang Yingxue's words: "Mrs. Seven, you are a smart person, you can open up the situation in such a difficult situation in the past, and you will definitely get through it this time." ”

Wang Yingxue was stunned when she heard this, her godless eyes gradually brightened, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she was about to say something, when a little maid broke in: "Seventh wife, the seventh master is here." ”

"Ahh She couldn't help but exchange glances with Mama Hu.

Dou Shiying had already strode in.

"I heard that the aunt and grandmother of the Marquis of Jining are coming to visit you," he was dressed in court clothes, his expression was hurried, and he had obviously just rushed back from the yamen with a letter, "She is the aunt of Shougu." I have already instructed Gao Sheng to treat her well, and you must also cheer up when the time comes, and make sure to make her feel at home! ”

Wang Yingxue looked at Dou Shiying, who still looked gentle and humble as jade, and her heart was full of flavors.

Originally, she thought that this was Dou Shiying's gentleness and thoughtfulness towards her, but now, she knew that this was just her way of acting.

He is like this to everyone.

If you stab a soft knife on her body, she thinks it won't hurt, but it can torture you so much that you can end it in one breath.

Wang Yingxue wanted to pick up the teacup at hand and splash the full cup of tea on Dou Shiying's face, but she thought of Dou Ming and Dou Ming's marriage, her hand clenched tightly into a fist, but finally let go little by little.

"I see." She heard herself answer Dou Shiying's words in a docile tone, "I definitely won't spill the face of the fourth young lady." ”

Dou Shiying nodded with satisfaction, and not long after leaving, he asked Gao Sheng's daughter-in-law to send a box over.

Wang Yingxue opened the box.

Jewels, full of brilliance.

"The seventh master said that the wife wants to meet the guests, so let the family rush to Yubaoxuan to buy these jewelry." Gao Sheng's daughter-in-law is like a full moon, smiling with a little festivity, both of them are smart people, although they are in charge of the big and small things in the alleys of Jing'an Temple, Wang Yingxue is as respectful as before, so that Wang Yingxue can't find any mistakes.

She smiled and bowed and stepped back.

Wang Yingxue closed the box with a "snap".

"What is this? My reward for helping Dou Zhao save face? ”

Her face turned pale.

Mama Hu sighed secretly in her heart.

Song Mo, who was talking to Yan Chaoqing and Liao Bifeng in the study room of the Yizhitang of the British Mansion, took the note handed in by Chen He, his expression was slightly stunned, and said, "When did Chen Qushui arrive in Kyoto?" What did he come to Kyoto for? ”

Chen He lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully: "I heard that it is for the marriage of the fourth young lady - the fourth young lady's pen and ink shop needs to be inventoried, and where to marry must be discussed with the seventh master, and the fifth and sixth masters must also be informed...... Looks like he's pretty busy. ”

With Liao Bifeng present, he subconsciously omitted Dou Zhao's surname.
