Chapter 9 The Maiden

Aunt Ding's grandmother didn't move for more than a year when she entered the door, and Dou Zhao's grandmother was very anxious. Occasionally, I heard that there was a family surnamed Cui in Doujia Grange, who gave birth to eight sons and two daughters, all of whom survived. Because he couldn't afford to raise more children, he also sent two sons to other people's families as sons-in-law, and now he wants to use his fourteen-year-old eldest daughter to change relatives for his third son.

Dou Zhao's grandmother felt that this was providence, and had seen that although the eldest daughter of the Cui family was tall and strong, her facial features were not unfair, and without discussion, Dou Zhao's grandfather spent two hundred taels of silver to carry the eldest daughter of the Cui family into the door.

Ten months later, Dou Zhao's father was born.

As soon as the child passed the 100-day ceremony, Dou Zhao's grandfather summoned Dou Zhao's grandmother and pointed to Dou Shiying, who was still in infancy, and said, "You take this child personally, don't let the Cui family, who doesn't know a single big character in Chapter 9, destroy him." ”

In this way, Cui was sent to the Dou family's small grange in Dongji Village, which only had more than 100 acres of land, until her death.

So, in essence, Cui has always been a village woman.

During the years that Dou Zhao lived with her, Cui not only took her to water the vegetable garden behind the house, catch insects, and weed, but also told her how to manage the crops and how to raise chickens and pigs...... In Cui's words: "I learned to serve the crops, and I couldn't starve to death wherever I went!" ”

Dou Zhao, who grew up in this environment, knows when to sow in spring, when to harvest in autumn, when to plant vegetables, when to hatch chickens, and can even infer the weather of the coming year based on the climate in winter.

The first time she met her mother, she had just passed her ten-year-old birthday. The adults were busy with spring ploughing, and my grandmother and the steward went to the fields, and she and a few maids stood under the elm tree in front of the house to watch the village children pick elm buds.

A caterpillar fell on Dou Zhao's shoulder, which scared her a lot, and she caught a caterpillar to scare the maids.

Tu Niang didn't know where the maid came out of Chapter 9, and rushed over to chase her maid like crazy, shouting: "She is a young lady, a young lady of the Dou family, how dare you be disrespectful to her?" I'll kill you, I'll kill you......"

Thinking of this, Dou Zhao was a little excited.

After the stepmother entered the door, the person who served the mother was either sold because of his qualifications, or the stepmother was released on the grounds that he had served the mother for merit, or he was sent back to his uncle's house, and no one told her about her mother. Even her grandmother, who loved her, said to her more than once: "What is the use of looking forward and asking?" You should think more about how you will live in the future, and think about how to please your mother-in-law after marrying into the Jining Marquis Mansion. ”

No one knows the fear in her heart.

How did the mother die?

Why is everyone so secretive?

Hu Shi, the personal mother of the stepmother Wang, said that the mother gave birth to a daughter......

Didn't she kill her mother?

Is it because of this that she was sent to her grandmother in the country?

When my mother was alive, did you ever hate her? Do you regret giving birth to her?

As she grew older, she became more and more afraid to ask.

The death of his mother has become a wound in Dou Zhao's heart that will never heal.

It was the mother who told her the truth, and when she was questioned by her grandmother, she retorted: "I don't know those big truths. I only know that it was the Wang family who killed the seventh grandmother, and the Wang family is the enemy of the fourth miss, and the fourth miss can't recognize the thief as her mother! You are like this, not to help Miss Four, but to harm Miss Four, and trap Miss Four in unfilial piety! ”

Dou Zhao still remembers the look of shock on his grandmother's face.

After that, the grandmother didn't say anything and left her in the Grange.

There were so many people around my mother back then, but it took eight years to find her only Tu Niang, and only Tu Niang spoke up for her!

Her character can be imagined.

Dou Zhao is now unable to move an inch, and he urgently needs someone who listens to his words.

There's nothing more suitable than Toniang!

Vanilla heard this, ignoring Shuangzhi's objections, and took the initiative to help her find a good mother.

Tu Niang looked at Dou Zhao blankly, a little nervous in her restraint, and shouted softly, "Fourth Miss".

At this time, Tu Niang, young, ruddy, meek and shy, and the haggard-faced and unkempt woman in Dou Zhao's memory were two people.

Dou Zhao's heart was sour.

She asked her mother, "Do you know, me?" ”

"Yes." She whispered, "On the road just now, Vanilla sued me." You are the daughter of the seventh grandmother and the fourth lady of the Dou family. ”

It's good to know that she is the daughter of Grandma Seven!

Dou Zhao smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand for Tuo Niang to hug, and said, "We, go, Heshoutang." Twin branches, lead the way. ”

Tu Niang hugged Dou Zhao without hesitation, but Shuangzhi hesitated and said, "What if it ......"

"I'm going!" Dou Zhao glared at the two branches.

Twigs laughed wryly.

Vanilla on the side hurriedly said: "What about me?" Miss Four, what about me? ”

There can't be only one kind of person around people, and sometimes, strengths will become weaknesses, and weaknesses will become strengths.

"Follow." Dou Zhao said with a smile.

Vanilla happily should "yes" and lead the way in front.

Now the twin branches can't think about it.

The group went to Tsurujudo.

A little servant stopped them at the door: "The old lady said, no one will let them in!" ”

Tu Niang looked at Dou Zhao uneasily.

The twigs were helpless, so they almost said something like "I said it a long time ago".

Vanilla smiled and stepped forward to gag and shouted "brother", "We were ordered by the seventh grandmother to send the fourth lady in......" and then squeezed her eyes towards Heshoutang, "Isn't there a commotion inside?" We're just sending Miss Four over. If my brother doesn't believe it, why don't you go in first and say goodbye? ”

The little servant no longer insisted, and let them into the courtyard gate.

Shuangzhi whispered, "You're too bold, aren't you?" In case he really went to ask Grandma Seven to show ......"

"No, it won't!" Vanilla smiled firmly, "We don't dare to approach Heshoutang, do they dare!" ”

Dou Zhao nodded secretly.

There was a hoarse and shrill voice from the mother's voice in the Tsurujudo: "...... It's too late for you to say anything! If you want to take a concubine, why don't you just tell me? I want to invite the third uncle to tell my father, but it's just because you yourself understand that you are sorry for me by doing this, you have lost the virtue of a gentleman, and you are dirty and dirty, and you are fascinated by women, and you want to be foolproof, and use your elders to pressure me! Since that's the case, then we invited the elders of the two families to come forward and talk about it......"

"Seventh brother and sister, seventh brother and sister," the third uncle begged for mercy, "whether to accept a concubine or not is just a trivial matter." If you don't agree, forget it. Why make the two elders uneasy, and make the city full of wind and rain for others to see jokes? 10,000 yuan, you quickly compensate your younger siblings! That's it. A thousand mistakes, it's all my fault. Please also ask my brothers and sisters to see my face, bear with me, bear with me! ”

10,000 yuan is my father's table.

The mother was quiet, but the father was muttering quietly, unable to hear what was being said.

Dou Zhao hurriedly said: "We, go in!" ”

At this time, Vanilla and Shuangzhi were a little scared, and Tu Niang carried Dou Zhao into the hall with a resolute face.

The people of Heshoutang did not dare to stop Dou Zhao.

"Who?" Entering the hall, Aunt Ding, who was standing at the door, shouted loudly, with an awe-inspiring expression, which Dou Zhao had never seen before.

Tuo Niang shrunk her shoulders, quickly stood up straight, and said in a trembling and respectful voice: "It's Miss Four, let me carry her in......"

Hearing the movement, the mother who was sitting on the Taishi's chair with frost on her face and the third uncle who was rubbing her hands looked at her in amazement, and the father who was kneeling in the middle hall jumped up and shouted at them in annoyance: "What's the matter? ”

Grandfather wasn't in the hall.

Before Dou Zhao could speak, his mother stood up with a sneer.

"What are you angry at the child when you did something wrong?" As she spoke, she walked over and hugged Dou Zhao, and then asked softly, "What's wrong?" "Eyes sharply stared at Toniang.

Dou Zhao rushed in front of Tuo Niang and said: "Mother, mother, I want, I want, I want, I want, Niang!" ”

Mother frowned at the thought of the maids locked up in the room.

She didn't recognize To's mother.

Arranging for To's mother to be a rough maid in the house to eat is just a matter of her hands, and she won't take it to heart at all.

A little maid came in tremblingly and said, "The third lady is here!" ”

The third uncle was in high spirits when he heard this, and he just wanted to send Dou Zhao and them away quickly to get down to business: "It's just a maid, Aunt Shou wants her, just reward her." As he spoke, he glanced at his father.

The father immediately said: "What kind of mother is this, I will reward it to Aunt Shou." ”

The third aunt has a cheerful temperament, humorous language, and enthusiasm for others. Although she is not a clan woman, people up and down the Dou family like her very much, and they always like to ask her to help her be a middleman if there is anything. The third aunt came suddenly, and the mother guessed a few points.

She also wanted her father to dispel the idea of taking a concubine as soon as possible.

Anyway, Tuo Niang is the maid in her own house, are you still afraid that she will not be able to run away? The maids and daughters-in-law around Shou Gu were all locked up, so that this Tuo Niang could take care of Shou Gu for the time being, and then she would check the bottom of this Tuo Niang after she was busy for a while.

The mother called Mama Yu to come in: "Place this proper mother in Aunt Shou's house." ”

Mama Yu's face was full of confusion, she glanced at her mother twice, and responded respectfully.

There are so many people, and Mama Yu, if her mother wants to die, someone will stop her.

Dou Zhao was not worried, pulled the sleeve of Tu Niang, and motioned for her to go back.

Tu Niang was still immersed in the dazed confusion of suddenly changing from a rough maid in a pulp washing room to a young lady's personal maid, and she didn't thank her, and walked out of Heshoutang with Dou Zhaogao and one foot low.

Vanilla and twigs have been believed.

Shuangzhi congratulated Tu Niang and greeted her politely: "...... After that, we were together on errands. ”

Vanilla lowered her head in chagrin, her expression both regretful and frustrated.

Dou Zhao smiled slightly, pointed to the vanilla and said to Mama Yu: "I want it, vanilla." ”

Vanilla was surprised and delighted.

Mama Yu had the same idea as Grandma Seven at this time, and Vanilla was already on an errand in Grandma Seven's house, she knew the roots, and she was not afraid that she would be bad, so she told Vanilla: "Since Miss Fourth likes you, you should follow Miss Four!" Remember to be a good student and don't make Miss Four angry......"

Vanilla was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

The servant woman in the fourth lady's house was locked up, and with the temper of the seventh grandmother, she would definitely not be used again in the future. She has the blue eyes of the fourth lady, maybe she can mix with a first-class maid in the future!

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the future was bright, and as soon as Mama Yu turned around, she hurriedly thanked Dou Zhao: "Fourth Miss, I will definitely serve you well......"

Dou Zhao waved his hand at the gushing vanilla, and then pointed to Heshoutang: "Listen, sue me." ”

The heroine struggled to move forward......
