Mrs. Wu, who was originally scheduled to leave at the end of June, moved forward her trip by a few days.

The second grandmother saw off her aunt and mentioned the marriage between Wu Shan and Dou Zhao: "...... How do you think I can tell Mrs. Tai? ”

At the beginning, Mrs. Wu took the initiative to mention this family matter, and now the Dou family has agreed, it stands to reason that Mrs. Wu should settle this matter before leaving Zhending, and not exchange Geng stickers, at least there must be a sentence.

Mrs. Wu said lightly: "At that time, I just asked, and this matter had to be agreed by our master." ”

The second grandmother was stunned.

Mrs. Wu lowered her eyelids as if evasively, bowed her head and took a sip of tea.

The second grandmother was so angry that her face turned purple.

Although she is the girl of the Wu family, she is the daughter-in-law of the Dou family.

At the beginning, her aunt was sincere, and she went to the second wife to ask for this favor, but her aunt changed the hexagram, which made her gain a foothold in the Dou family in the future?

"Auntie, we are not outsiders," the second grandmother suppressed the anger in her heart for a while, and said in a dumb voice, "If you have anything to say to me directly, I have to give Mrs. Tai and my mother-in-law an explanation." You probably don't know yet, do you? Under the name of Aunt Shou, there is a dowry of half of Xidou's property, I don't know how many people are staring at it! If it weren't for the fact that the Wu family and the Dou family were in-laws, if it weren't for the fact that the uncle and the fifth uncle were close friends, the Dou family might not have agreed to this family business......"

Mrs. Wu was stunned.

Dou Ming has a dowry of half of Xi Dou's property?

No wonder he was so arrogant that he dared to make Pang Kunbai half dead.

Such a woman, then she can't be allowed to enter the door.

Otherwise, who will be able to control it in the future!

Maybe he will have a reputation for coveting his daughter-in-law's marriage.

She suddenly became angry, and said dissatisfiedly: "Who are your uncle and me, don't you know?" Miss Dou Si has so many dowries, why don't you sue me? Is it because I'm afraid that I won't be able to marry her? It's good that you told me about it today, if you wait until the two families have a ceremony. Can our Wu family afford a dowry? Where are you being a matchmaker, you are disgraced by your mother's family! Let me tell you the truth, this fourth young lady of your family was just robbed by someone, and she beat her to death. It's still in-laws. My son can't afford such a person! I'm afraid that one day I will offend her, and she won't even let me go as a mother-in-law! ”

The second grandmother didn't know the details. I was very surprised when I heard this, but I still argued strongly: "Why does my aunt talk like this? The fourth sister and the twelfth uncle were robbed and did not resist. Can't you stick your head out and cut it off for someone else? ”

Mrs. Wu only treats her, she is speaking for her in-laws. said coldly: "I didn't say I wouldn't let her resist, but there's always a bottom line, right?" She's a woman, and she's already in the ascendancy, and she has to be unforgiving......" she was saying. The bamboo curtain "clanged", and Wu Shan's face walked in from the outside like gold paper.

"Mother. The fourth sister is not that kind of person. After only a few days of hard work, his eye sockets were sunken, like withered grass, and he had long lost his former vigor, "Hitting Pang Kunbai is the idea of a few of us." He is too lewd to teach him a lesson, and we are really unwilling to ......"

"Aren't you reading in your study? What do you run out for? Mrs. Wu looked at her son, her gaze was unprecedentedly stern, "I'm talking to your cousin, is there a place for you to interject here?" Who did you learn from, you don't understand the rules at all! Don't go back to your room yet. As he spoke, he shouted to Mama Bi, "How did you serve the young master?" How do you get him running around......"

The aunt clearly refers to Sang scolding Huai.

The second grandmother's face changed greatly.

Wu Shan couldn't help but shout "mother" and said, "You don't need to blame Mama Bi, it's all my fault." I'll go back to my room and study. As he spoke, he didn't go back to the room immediately, but hesitated for a moment, and suddenly knelt down in front of his mother with a "plop", "Mother," the corners of his eyes and eyebrows showed resoluteness, and he begged Mrs. Wu mournfully, "You, you agreed to my marriage with my fourth sister, right?" I beg you......" he said, kowtowing to his mother.

Mrs. Wu and the second grandmother both changed color. Mrs. Wu shouted even louder: "Wu Shan, what are you going to do? ”

What is he going to do?

He's just not giving up!

Didn't the fourth sister ask for the order of her parents, the words of the matchmaker?

If the Dou family agrees to their matchmaking, even if that family comes to propose, he can fight for it, right?

The corners of Wu Shan's eyes were blurred, and he kept kowtowing, as if only in this way would there be less pain in his heart.

The second grandmother sighed softly and stepped forward to carry Wu Shan: "Get up quickly!" ”

Wu Shan grabbed the sleeve of the second grandmother like a life-saving straw: "Cousin, you can help me......"

Before his words fell, he made a "snap", and his face was slapped fiercely by his mother: "Manly man, kneel to the sky and kneel to the king's teacher, you actually kneel to your mother and cousin for a woman, you are still not a man!" Get up for me! As he spoke, he pulled Wu Shan indiscriminately.

Wu Shan didn't say a word, and looked at the second grandmother intently.

The second grandmother couldn't bear to look at his eyes, turned her face away, and said in a low voice: "The matter has come to this, even if the fourth sister marries, do you think it is appropriate?" ”

Wu Shan's eyes suddenly darkened when he heard this, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained, and he was pulled up by his mother in a daze.

The second grandmother didn't want to wade into this muddy water again, so she got up and said goodbye.

In just half a time, what happened in the West Room reached Ji's ears.

She was furious and said, "What does the Wu family want to do? Do you think that our Dou family is a bowl of dishes for his Wu family? Do whatever you want! I'm going to ask Mrs. Tai about this matter. ”

The second husband was also very angry, and was crooked on the kang with her eyes closed, and Mama Liu beat her legs with a beauty.

"The twisted melon is not sweet, and it doesn't work." She persuaded Ji, but her eyes were cold, "I scolded Zijun's daughter-in-law just now." But what's the use of that, since Mrs. Wu looks down on Aunt Shou, I'm afraid that Aunt Shou won't be able to please anything even if she marries. If you have the heart, help her pay more attention in the future, and find her a better family than the Wu family. ”

Ji looked at the coldness that flashed in the eyes of the second lady from time to time, and knew that the second lady hated Mrs. Wu and would find trouble with Mrs. Wu in the future, so he didn't say anything, got up and retired, thinking that the first two aunts and grandmothers of Cui also sent someone to ask her if she could help find two embroidery girls from Jiangnan to embroider wedding dresses for Dou Zhao. She felt sour in her heart for a while, and instructed Cai Shu: "Let people prepare the car, I will go to Xifu." ”

Dou Zhao also got the news, she thought it was Wu Shan who said something in front of Mrs. Wu, and at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief. There was a faint sense of amazement in my heart inexplicably. But she quickly put that sorrow behind her. Talking to Chen Qushui about the news he just got: "...... The second wife has already decided that Du An was instructed by Wang Yingxue? ”

"yes!" Chen Qushui said with a smile, "The third master not only wrote a letter to the fifth master. Returning it to Ling Zun also dared to seal a letter, and just sent someone to rush to Kyoto. ”

Dou Zhao groaned: "With my fifth uncle's character, I will definitely seize this matter and attack Wang Xingyi." Although Wang Xingyi has made great achievements in recent years. But will be outside. Although the king's order is not affected, but this military salary, grain and grass, pension and reward are indispensable to the six department officials, the fifth uncle has been operating in Kyoto for many years, and it is deeply rooted. At this time, Wang Xingyi would never dare to turn his face with the fifth uncle. If I were him. I will definitely bow my head and admit my mistakes, and promise the fifth uncle something......" she said, laughing, "I'm afraid, I can't let the fifth uncle get all the good things, right?" We don't think we can eat meat, but maybe there will be no soup to drink? It's better to let the Pang family accompany us for 10,000 taels of silver...... No, twenty thousand taels of silver! For Pang Kunbai, I took out a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, anyway, the people of the Pang family walked out on their toes proudly, and the top of their heads seemed to say 'I have silver', then we will knock him on a good deal! ”

Chen Qushui laughed.

Dou Zhao instructed Su Xin: "Help me sharpen the ink, I want to write a letter to my father, this kind of thing is best for him to talk to the fifth uncle." ”

Su Xin smiled and helped Dou Zhao lay out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Dou Zhao wrote a letter to his father, and then said something righteous: "I have already told the third uncle, in the future, if the old lady Duan needs any medicinal materials, she will let the maid who serves her go to the Dou family's crude medicine shop to get them, and record them in my account." ”

Yesterday, Duan Gongyi officially became a nurse of the Dou family.

Chen Qushui smiled and nodded: "That's very good!" ”

Dou Zhao asked about the business of the pen and ink shop again, and then went back to the inner courtyard.

Grandmother's eyes were red, as if she had cried, and her eyes flashed with pity from time to time.

Dou Zhao was secretly surprised, and when she left the East Cross Courtyard, she asked Ganlu: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Ganlu lowered her head and muttered, "It's the sixth wife who came, saying that the Wu family will leave for Kyoto tomorrow......"

In this way, my grandmother was sad that her marriage had not been completed.

Dou Zhao sighed helplessly.

※※※※※

On the day Wu Shan left, there was a light rain.

The rain was so wet that it washed the leaves out of the trees.

Dou Zhao cut the branches and leaves of the holly tree in the flower room for a day, until Dou Dechang came to worship her in the evening: "Wu Si said, you once asked him to draw a fan, let me help him send it over." ”

She washed her hands and asked Su Xin to put the fan into the cage.

Dou Dechang said in amazement: "Don't you look at what is painted?" ”

"What does it matter?" Dou Zhao wiped his hands carefully with a handkerchief, and said lightly, "It's better to put it away." ”

Dou Dechang was silent.

A few days later, Ji Yong came back from Mount Tai, and when he heard that Wu Shan was gone, he shook his fan and laughed twice, and told his entourage to prepare the car, he was going to Xifu.

Ji Shi nervously stopped him: "What are you going to do?" ”

Ji Yong's eyes widened: "I brought a shaped He Shou Wu to the fourth sister, this is not good?" ”

Ji sneered awkwardly.

Ji Yongyang walked away.

Seeing Dou Zhao, he asked her, "I heard that your marriage with Wu Shan has collapsed?" You don't have to be sad, people like him are soft, and it's really not interesting. You're sure to meet a better one in the future! I happened to find a branch of He Shou Wu to send you, and you mend your hair. ”

Was he comforting himself or beating himself?

Dou Zhao was so angry that his brain twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Did the cousin of the Ji family hear it wrong?" Why didn't I know that I was engaged to Fourth Brother Wu? ”

Ji Yong's mouth opened wide, and it took a long time to close it.

Dou Zhao felt much better.
