Chapter 394: Dragon Boat Festival
Chen Jiaxin bought this daughter-in-law in charge of the family called Yao Er, the husband and wife are from the south, originally in a large family of servants, and later the big family committed an accident, these women and servants were implicated and sold, it happened that Chen Jia entrusted Jinyiwei's colleagues to help find a few reliable servants, and the Jinyiwei over there bought this family to honor him in order to tie him up. He saw that this woman was very orderly and stable, so he let her take care of the affairs of her inner courtyard, Tao Er was on duty at the gate, one of the two sons followed his father to do things, and the other swept the courtyard in the outer courtyard, but the youngest daughter followed her mother to be a little maid in charge of flowers and plants in the inner courtyard.
Tao Er's family is the first time to go to the British Mansion to walk around, before coming Chen Jia had repeatedly told her, let her know the importance of the British Mansion to Chen Jia, along the way she was nervous, when she saw the black lacquer flat-headed carriage in front of the British Mansion to send the festival gifts, her heart was even more drumming, I didn't expect Chen Jia to have such dignity in the British Mansion, the British princess not only saw her in person, but also rewarded her with a first-class red seal, and her heart finally fell to the ground.
When I talked to Chen Jia when I went back, I couldn't help but bring three points of joy.
Chen Jia was also a little surprised.
The British Mansion is not something you will let you in when you come to give gifts, there is no official body of the third grade, the porter will not look at you, he is now just a fourth grade, if he didn't take the road of Mrs. Shizi, how could he stand? How could the woman sent to see Mrs. Dou!
He thought it would be better to move around a little closer.
The next day, he brought two vasks of fine realgar wine to see Duan Gongyi.
Duan Gongyi was like a mirror in his heart.
But there is no Chen Jia and Wang Jia, not to mention that Chen Jia is still angry with him, what does he have to worry about?
He prepared a few appetizers and left Chen Jia to drink at home.
That's what Chen Jia is here for. Naturally, he happily agreed, and invited Mr. Chen over for a drink or two.
Duan Gongyi waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chen has something to do in the past two days, and he can't spare time. Next time you come, we'll invite Mr. Chen over for a drink or two. ”
Chen Jia hurriedly asked what was the matter.
Duan Gongyi glanced at him with a smile.
His face turned red and said, "I can have today, all thanks to Mrs. Dou." I always wanted to repay my wife, but my wife didn't lack anything, I just wanted to send something, but I couldn't send an idea, so I thought if I could help my wife, so I asked. ”
Chen Jia said it intentionally, and Duan Gongyi listened with a heart. After sending Chen Jia away, he immediately went to see Dou Zhao.
Dou Zhao was entertaining the two young grandmothers of the Lu family who came to give gifts, and Duan Gongyi waited for half an hour to see Dou Zhao.
"Ma'am. What you asked me to inquire about last time. Didn't I find out if I was ugly? "He gave Dou Zhao an idea." Do you think you can ask Master Chen Jiachen to help you inquire? His subordinates are specialized in this, and we can't compare! ”
Dou Zhao has always been curious about who was inquiring about the Li family in the first two years after the Li family moved out, and he was also a little tempted when he heard the words. But he still said: "After all, it's an old thing in the house, and it's always bad for people to know." ”
Duan Gongyi said with a smile: "I think that Chen Jia is very transparent." Let's just find a reason, even if he knows why, he will pretend to be deaf and dumb. ”
Dou Zhao pondered: "I'll discuss this matter with the prince first. ”
After all, it is related to Song Yichun's reputation, and the events of that year were stabbed out, and Song Mo's face as a son was also gloomy.
Who knew that Song Mogen didn't care that Song Yichun would affect him, and said with a smile: "That Chen Jia can't wait to do two things for you, if you have anything, just leave it to him to do it!" ”
Dou Zhao said: "What if he knows too much?" ”
Song Mo smiled and said: "He relied on me to get on the throne, even if he didn't know anything, he was labeled by me, and if he wanted to change his ways, he wouldn't want to mix in officialdom." ”
Dou Zhao thinks about it, it's really the truth.
Song Mo shook his head with a smile and said, "You women, you just like to think about the short things in these parents, how long has it been before me, and you still want to know what happened to the Li family?" ”
Dou Zhao grinned and said, "Isn't this idleness?" ”
Song Mo thought that Dou Zhao was very energetic when he had something, and when he was fine, he seemed to wilt, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
If she finds these things interesting, let her be!
Song Mo told her about his plans during this time: "...... Over there in the hospital, you have to be watched. However, most of the imperial doctors in the Taiyuan Hospital have been on duty in the Taiyuan Hospital for generations, and it is not easy to ask for information. Didn't the emperor always shout a headache a few days ago? I asked Yan Chaoqing to find a way to talk to a few of the staff members who came to Beijing to send gifts to the officials of Xinjiang, and when the time comes, they will definitely recommend famous doctors who are good at treating headaches to be admitted to the hospital. Things will be much easier. ”
The Tai Hospital is related to the safety of the emperor, so it is the most strictly controlled.
Dou Zhao told him: "You have to be careful, don't involve yourself." ”
"Hmm!" Song Mo smiled and shook Dou Zhao's hand, and then called the little maid to come in and change clothes.
Duan Gongyi went to Chen Jia's house in Yuqiao Hutong.
The two drank on the kang in the inner room of the upper room.
Duan Gongyi half-truthfully complained to Chen Jia: "...... I went to Ertiao Hutong several times, but I didn't ask for any of them. I went there so many times that I was recognized. It can be seen that not everyone can do this secret work. ”
Chen Jia listened to the spirit, and said with a smile: "If there is no taboo in the matter, I will send a few people to help you inquire." ”
"That's a good idea." Duan Gongyi smiled, "You are the person of the prince, even if there is any taboo, it is not right for you." ”
Chen Jia asked about the incident in detail.
Duan Gongyi's words were not finished yet, and he already knew it in his heart.
Most of them are the romantic debts left by the British prince back then, and now the prince and the grandfather of the country are fighting the law, and they want to bring up the old things again.
As long as he finds the people of the Li family, this matter will be considered alive.
Isn't that what he's best at?
But no matter what, after all, this is an old matter of the British government, and Duan Gongyi can hand over this matter to him, not the prince nods. It was Mrs. Dou who nodded, and these two could point more, most of them were Duan Gongyi who told him.
Chen Jia poured wine for Duan Gongyi with a smile and finished drinking. stuffed a purse for Duan Gongyi and personally sent him to the gate.
inquired about the Li family, even if it was handed over to Chen Jia.
Dou Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and waited for news at home.
As a result, Huguang received a letter from there. said that Zhao Zhangru diagnosed a happy pulse.
Dou Zhao was naturally overjoyed, ate the gold and silver ornaments of medicinal materials and silk and satin, Zhang Luo sent a whole car, and sent someone to Huguang, and she and Song Mo began to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival to enter the palace to congratulate the queen mother, the queen and other nobles.
In Cining Palace, Dou Zhao met Dou Ming.
She is much thinner than before she got married, with a pointed chin and big eyes. It's even more impressive.
Dou Ming also saw Dou Zhao.
Her gaze suddenly turned to a knife.
Dou Zhao wore a bright red court robe. Together with Mrs. Changxinghou, Mrs. Xingguo, Mrs. Dongpingbo, and other housewives who were in charge of the first-class meritorious families in the court, they walked in from outside with a low voice and laughter.
Her young face stood out in the midst of a crowd of women in their thirties and forties.
And as soon as they stepped into the palace gate of Cining Palace. Aunt Miao, the most decent aunt beside the queen mother, greeted her with a group of palace maids, greeted Dou Zhao and the others with a smile, and led them to the queen mother's bedroom with a respectful attitude. Unlike them, the ladies of the second- and third-class meritorious families who gradually fell because they had lost their real power for a long time, they had to stand in front of the shadow wall and wait. The Queen Mother was summoned to meet ......
It was good to see that Dou Zhao did not squint and followed the group of ladies around the shadow wall.
Dou Ming's hands clenched tightly into fists.
Others complained in her ear: "It's really a different life." Thirty years ago, when I entered the palace with my mother-in-law, I could see the nobles in the palace with a single sound, and I had to wait outside for ...... like now."
Dou Ming only felt that his face was hot.
Someone whispered: "That young man is the Lady of the British Princess, right?" I heard that the delivery date with the crown princess is a few days before and after? It's a good thing. If she gives birth to a child who is born on the same day as the emperor's grandson, whether it is male or female, I am afraid that the crown princess will remember it in her heart, and that is the real blessing! ”
Another humane: "You think that the British government is as shallow as you!" Within a few days of his birth, the prince of Shiguo was sealed a hereditary four-grade affair, and he began to participate in the autumn siege before he learned to walk, who in the Manchu Dynasty had such decency? The eldest grandson of their family, even if he was born in July and a half, has a bright future, what do you help with? ”
Dou Zhao's due date is mid-June.
The person who was refuted was displeased, and said with some schadenfreude: "Maybe the eldest grandson of the British Mansion really waited until half of July to be born?" ”
"What nonsense!" Someone shouted, "This is in the palace, be careful that the wall has ears." ”
The lady was about to say something, and the two palace maids came out from behind the shadow wall.
All the sound came to an abrupt halt.
One of the palace maids smiled and said, "I don't know which one is Mrs. Jining Hou?" ”
Dou Ming was stunned.
Someone next to her pushed her.
She hurriedly stepped forward to answer.
The palace maid smiled: "The old ancestor heard that you are the sister of the British princess, and I want to meet you!" ”
As soon as the palace maid's voice fell, Dou Ming seemed to hear an envious sigh.
Her fists clenched even tighter.
But as a nobleman in the palace, she didn't dare to reveal half a point.
Dou Ming thanked the two palace maids with a smile, and followed them to the queen mother's bedroom, and after bypassing the shadow wall, she also stuffed two red envelopes for the two palace maids.
The two palace maids accepted it with a smile very generously, and said: "Everyone says that Lord Dou gave all his family wealth to his two daughters as a dowry, and Mrs. Dou is also so generous when she enters the palace, but the rumors are true, so we are welcome." ”
Dou Ming gritted his teeth in anger.
Dou Zhao got cheap and sold well, when did he get half of his father's property?
Thinking of this, her heart seemed to be covered with oil, and she couldn't breathe.
After kowtowing to the Empress Dowager and asking for peace, she almost fell back - the Empress Dowager beckoned her to the front and looked at her carefully for a long time, and then raised her head and said to the Empress Dowager and a group of women inside and outside the house: "The daughter-in-law of Yantang is still good-looking, and the wife of the Marquis of Jining is too thin!" ”
