Chapter 17: The Autumn Fan

Mother is a proud person, since she has agreed to let Wang Yingxue enter the door, she will not embarrass Wang Yingxue on such a trivial matter as the time to enter the door.

When Dou Zhao's "illness" was better, she invited the eldest aunt and the third aunt to come over to discuss Wang Yingxue's entry into the door, and Dou Zhao was sent to the yard to play with the little maids.

The four little maidens are called daylily, jasmine, okra, and begonia. Mother likes to be loyal to her mother, and named her Frangipani, and the hosta that used to be an errand by her mother's side, and now she is transferred to Dou Zhao's house, which is the big girl in Dou Zhao's house.

Tu Niang likes this name very much, but the name "Tu Niang" has a special meaning to Dou Zhao, Dou Zhao still likes to call her "Tu Niang", so that the maid in Dou Zhao's house calls her to be Frangipani for a while, and then Chapter 17 Qiu Fan calls her to be Tu Niang, so there are a lot of jokes. Fortunately, Tu Niang doesn't care, no matter who calls which name, she deserves to be happy.

Dou Zhao is not really a two-year-old doll, so naturally he has little interest in playing games like Baisuo.

She thought of looking for a few books in her grandfather's study on the description of strange powersβ€”there were no wonders in the world, and she suddenly returned to her childhood, as if she had been reborn, and there must have been people like her, and she was desperate to find a claw in those historical miscellaneous.

Dou Zhao asked Tuo Niang to carry her to her grandfather's study.

Tu Niang immediately dropped the Baisuo in her hand and carried her to Heshoutang.

When she walked around the lotus pond, she saw Mama Yu standing next to the rockery of Taihu Lake and talking to a middle-aged man wearing an official green silk robe.

The two were secretive and suspicious.

Dou Zhao pondered for a moment, pointed to the lotus pond and said to Tuo Niang: "Let's go over there!" ”

Tu Niang did not doubt him, crossed the Jiuqu Stone Bridge, and arrived at the side of the Taihu Lake Stone Rockery.

Mama Yu and the man were gone.

Dou Zhao hid his doubts and left the lotus pond, but bumped into the eldest aunt and the third aunt head-on.

She went down to the ground and respectfully saluted the eldest aunt and the third aunt. Chapter 17 Autumn Fan

The eldest aunt hugged Dou Zhao: "Aunt Shou is becoming more and more likeable!" ”

"Who's to say it's not." The third aunt smiled and touched Dou Zhao's head, "It's exactly the same as when the seventh brother and sister were children." ”

The two spoke, the smiles on their faces fading.

"Alas!" The eldest aunt sighed regretfully, "Wang Yingxue's background is there, if she gives birth to a male in this birth, no matter how virtuous the seventh brother and sister are, I'm afraid she can only retreat!" ”

It turned out that they all knew about Wang Yingxue's pregnancy.

The corners of Dou Zhao's eyebrows moved slightly.

"This is fate!" The third aunt's expression also looked a little stunned.

Or maybe it was a bit inappropriate for the two elders to sigh like this in front of the children, and the eldest aunt smiled and said: "We are listening to books and crying, worrying about the ancients." The seventh brother and sister usually don't encounter anything, and when they encounter something, they naturally become sensible. Isn't she handling it pretty well now? ”

The third aunt bowed her head and asked Tuo Niang a few words cordially, knowing that Dou Zhao was going to see her grandfather, she instructed Tuo Niang to slip carefully and not to wrestle or the like, and went out with the eldest aunt.

Dou Zhao suddenly lost the interest in going to Heshoutang. She instructed her mother, "Let's go back to the main house." ”

Tu Niang did as she said without saying a word, and the two quickly returned to the main courtyard.

Dou Zhao ran into the inner room.

Mother was sitting on the hot kang near the window and talking to Mama Yu: "...... Aunt Cui is the biological mother of the seventh master, and the bride price of two hundred taels of silver is not an insult to her. As for whether the Wang family wants it or not, it is their business, whether to send it or not, it is our family's business. If you have money or not, it's better to marry a daughter-in-law for the New Year. Although it is a concubine's room, but in the end it is also a newcomer, the twenty-second day of the lunar month enters the door, just for the New Year, and during the Spring Festival, it is good to go to the rooms to walk around and recognize relatives. As she spoke, her mother took a sip of tea from the teacup and continued, "The new house is located in Qixia Courtyard......

"Seventh Grandma!" Mama Yu was taken aback, and before her mother finished speaking, she lost her voice and said, "How can this work!" Qixia Courtyard is just behind the Seventh Master's study......"

The mother made a gesture to stop and said, "They can get together next to Beizhili, can they be innocent under my nose?" ”

Mama Yu was speechless.

"What's more, I'm too lazy to look at their concubine-like looks." The mother muttered, "I let Wang Yingxue go, and I also let myself go." ”

Dou Zhao almost applauded his mother.

Exactly.

No matter how big the world is, it can't be bigger than yourself.

If you don't feel sorry for yourself anymore, why should others feel sorry for you?

Since you don't want to see Wang Yingxue, why should you wronged yourself and pretend to be virtuous!

It wasn't until she was thirty years old that she understood this.

Dou Zhao whispered to Tuo Niang: "You will follow Mama Yu and see where she has gone?" Who did you meet? ”

Tu Niang nodded.

Dou Zhao happily threw himself into his mother's arms: "Mother, the plum blossoms in the backyard have bloomed, let's go enjoy the plums." ”

Mother smiled and kissed Dou Zhao's little face: "Mother has something to do, let Tuo Niang accompany you to play!" ”

Dou Zhao just wants to be by his mother's side.

Her mother didn't bother her, and while taking care of the trivial things at home, she teased her.

The father came suddenly, ignoring the servants who were serving in the house, and took out a red gold and jasper hairpin from his bosom as if offering a treasure.

"Isn't it good?" He looked at his mother flatteringly, "I went to Zhending Mansion to let people beat me." ”

The hairpin body is golden, and the hairpin head is green and waterdrop-shaped, like a tear on the cheeks of a beauty.

"Beautiful!" The mother smiled and fiddled with the jasper hairpin for a long time, and told Mama Yu to put it away, "I will make a dowry for Aunt Shou in the future." ”

The father sneered, "This is for you...... Aunt Shou's, I'll buy it for her later. ”

The mother pursed her lips and smiled: "It is your intention to buy her in the future, this is my intention." ”

"Mine isn't yours yet." The father muttered quietly, but stopped talking.

Mother smiled: "You are here to ask Wang Yingxue about entering the door, right?" I've already ordered it to go down......" and then repeated what he had said to Mama Yu to his father.

My father let out an "oh", not very interested, as if he had a lot to say and didn't know what to say.

There was silence for a while.

After a while, my father stood up uneasily and muttered, "Since you have something, then I'll go first." ”

The mother stood up with a smile: "Then I won't send it." Then he shouted with a smile, "Send the seventh master!" He sat down and bowed his head and made calculations.

The father stood for a while, saw that the mother had never looked up, her eyes were slightly dark, and she walked out with her head down.

Mama Yu shouted "Seventh Grandma".

The corner of her mother's eyes didn't move, and she said, "Seeing that the New Year is coming, I'm afraid it's not easy to invite someone." For the furnishings of the new house, you have to bother a lot to help urge a few stewards in the outer courtyard. ”

"Yes!" Mama Yu reluctantly retreated.

The mother lost her calculation and hugged Dou Zhao with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to enjoy the plum." ”

Dou Zhao smiled brightly.

Time is the best medicine, no matter how painful the wound is, it will slowly scab over and heal after a long time.

Mother, I will always be with you.

Relieve your loneliness and soothe your wounds.

Dou Zhao looked at his mother's white jade-like face and secretly swore in his heart, took his mother's hand with a smile, and jumped to the backyard.

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

In the evening, Tuo Niang told SΓΉ Dou Zhao: "Mama Yu didn't go anywhere, and all I saw were the housekeepers and housekeepers." ”

Who is that man?

Dou Zhao bit his fingers and pondered.

As a result, early the next morning, her aunt brought her eldest cousin Zhao Biru to give the Dou family a New Year's gift.

"It's cold," the mother hurriedly welcomed her aunt and eldest cousin into the inner room, personally helped her aunt to sit on the kang, took the hot tea in the maid's hand and respectfully handed it to her aunt, "Just let the housekeeper run, why did you come in person!" ”

My aunt was in her early thirties, wearing a royal blue sleeve jacket full of gold, and a hairpin with a red gold inlaid jade gourd, medium height, slightly fat, fair skin, and crooked eyebrows and eyes when she smiled, very kind.

She clapped her hands at Dou Zhao in Tuo Niang's arms: "Come, come and sit here with your aunt." ”

Mother hugged Dou Zhao to the kang.

Zhao Biru bent her knees and gave her mother a blessing.

Mother hugged Zhao Biru: "The eldest sister has grown a little taller, and she is about to catch up with me." ”

My aunt said angrily: "What's the use of only being tall and not having a heart!" ”

Zhao Biru smiled shyly.

At this time, Zhao Biru was only eleven years old, with long hands and legs, and skin better than snow, and she could already vaguely see the grace and grace of adulthood.

Her mother took her to the kang, and everyone was eating snacks and talking around the kang table.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Your eldest brother has been in the first place twice in a row, and this time he is so energetic that he wants to be nominated for the gold list, and he doesn't even pay attention to me talking to him. My aunt smiled, "I was bored at home, so I brought Biru to visit you." Then he said, "How are you doing these days?" ”

Mother whitewashed the peace: "It's the same as before." I'm so busy every day, and I don't know what I'm busy with. ”

My aunt smiled without saying a word, took a sip of tea, and said to Zhao Biru: "Since you are here, let's go to the side with your cousin to play!" ”

Zhao Biru responded "yes" carefully and obediently got off the kang.

The mother was slightly stunned.

My aunt said, "I have something to say to you." There was a bit of solemnity on his face.

The mother replied "yes", and the water was already visible in her eyes.

Dou Zhao thought of Mama Yu next to the lotus pond and the man in the official green silk robe.

Out of the inner room, she shook off Zhao Biru's hand and ran towards the door.

Outside the gate, the man in the official green silk robe was talking to a steward of the Dou family, and behind him was a flatbed carriage full of wagons, and the servants were constantly moving the things from the carriage home.

It turned out that person was the steward of the Zhao family.

Dou Zhao ran back to the second gate and met Zhao Biru, who was chasing her and sweating profusely.

"You, what are you going to do?" She clutched her stomach and gasped, "How can you run faster than a rabbit?" ”

Dou Zhao thought about meeting her for the first time.

She elegantly held the teacup and looked at her with a gentle but noble smile: "After my aunt died, my father and mother originally wanted to take you to the house and be a companion to our sisters, but you didn't want to, so I bit my mother in front of the Dou family and didn't say anything, and shouted, 'I won't go to your house', so my mother had to come back in a huff......"

At that time, she felt that Zhao Biru's words were like a fan in autumn, and the unspeakable diaphragm should be out of place.

Can ...... now She was a little unsure.
