Although he was reborn, what Dou Zhao could influence was only some people and things around him, and he would still come.

In mid-April, Dou Wenchang, who had been studying with Dou Shishu in Kyoto, brought back a letter from Dou Shishu's family.

Dou Shishu not only said in his letter to the family that he was about to be promoted to the servant of the Ministry of Officials, but also mentioned Wang Xingyi's recovery, and asked about Dou Shiying's marriage very tactfully in the letter, saying that he and Wang Xingyi are in the same department, Zeng Yifen was forced to send a letter, Wang Xingyi was exiled, and his life in Beijing in the past few years has also been very bad, if Dou Shiying's marriage has not been decided, it is better to settle it as soon as possible. Now that the emperor is old, his memory is not as good as a day, and a few days ago he met with the cabinet, and suddenly ordered the little eunuch to announce that he had already passed away for five or six years, and the eunuch Chen Donglai chose to serve the pen and ink in Chapter 30. Now the youngest cabinet scholar is Chen Jizhou of Songjiang, if he presides over the examination next year, he also asked Dou Duo and Dou Shiqi to discuss as soon as possible, whether to let the children of the Dou family who are qualified to participate in the examination give it a try.

Dou Duo's face changed greatly when he received this letter, and he immediately wrote a letter to Dou Shiqi, asking Dou Wenchang to rush to Fuzhou overnight, and he took Dou Shiying to Dongdou.

Although Dou Zhao didn't know the content of the letter, she had been thinking about Wang Xingyi's recovery, and the strangeness of her grandfather and father immediately alerted her, and she sent the maids around her to rest, leaving only her mother-in-law: "You go and talk to the mother-in-law of the second gate, if the grandfather and father come back, let her report it immediately." ”

Tu Niang went to Ermen to pass Dou Zhao's words, and stayed in front of the bed to do needlework.

At that time, there was news from Ermen.

Tuo Niang called Dou Zhao up.

Dou Zhao dressed and went to Heshoutang.

The two little servants who served beside my grandfather were shrewd at the door.

Seeing Dou Zhao, the two shouted "Fourth Miss" in disbelief.

When my father heard the movement, he walked out with a surprised face: "Aunt Shou, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" His eyes glared at Toniang sternly.

Tu Niang's little stomach trembled, and she didn't know what to say for a long time when she chose to murmur in Chapter 30.

Dou Zhao had already laughed and threw himself into his father's arms: "You guys go to the door, why don't you take me with you?" ”

The father smiled dumbly and carried Dou Zhao into the house.

Grandfather sat on the kang with a solemn face, and when he saw them coming in, his brows were tightly wrinkled together, and he said, "If you can get married early, Aunt Shou will also have someone to take care of." What do you think has become of your family now? In the middle of the night, Aunt Shou was still scurrying around in the yard. What can you do with such a willful mind but to give yourself peace of mind? On the one hand, he said that he had grown up and knew his responsibilities, but on the other hand, he still did some irresponsible things. ”

My father was so speechless that he couldn't speak.

Dou Zhao saw a turning point in his grandfather's words and his father's attitude.

Her mood suddenly became brighter than ever, and she decided to disgust her grandfather: "Grandfather, I have someone to take care of." Grandma Choi is my grandmother. ”

Grandfather's face was pale, and his eyes slashed towards Dou Zhao like a blade, but Dou Zhao blinked his big eyes and gnawed his fingers with a smile, looking ignorant of the world.

He was so angry that he trembled and scolded his father: "This matter is not up to you, tomorrow your third sister-in-law will personally go to the Zhujia family to discuss the marriage date, and in the future, you will study hard, and the affairs of the inner house will be taken care of by the Zhushi." Then he said, "Who are the people around Shou Gu who are serving?" Send them all to me. ”

Father said: "It's Mama Yu who is taking care of Aunt Shou." That's what I promised my uncle. The tone was a little stubborn.

Grandfather was speechless and threw the curtain away in anger.

Dou Zhao wanted to remind him: This is your study! If you want to leave, you will also drive us away, why did you run away in anger?

The father sighed and hugged Dou Zhao out of the Heshou Hall.

The night breeze in April is still slightly chilly, and the bright moonlight is sprinkled on the pavilions, quiet and picturesque.

My father's footsteps became slower and slower, and finally stopped at the lotus pond.

"Shougu, do you know? Your fifth uncle has a letter," he muttered, "Your fifth uncle has brought an envelope to the family, Wang Xingyi, who is your aunt's father, is about to recover......"

Dou Zhao's heart was pounding, and only then did he know the content of Dou Shishu's letter.

He is worthy of being a future cabinet scholar, and his heart is really cold.

She gasped.

For a long time, she thought that Uncle Wang and Wang Xingyi had the same friendship and the same interests, and the relationship was very close and strong, Wang Yingxue's biggest backer in the Dou family was Dou Shishu, but she forgot that Dou Shishu was always a member of the Dou family, and forgot the treacherous political situation.

The hosta flowers planted all over the lotus pond are as white as jade, shining in the moonlight, exuding a lush floral fragrance.

Her father sat side by side with her on a stone chair by the lotus pond.

"Aunt Shou, what do you say is the matter?" He looked at the lotus leaves in the lotus pond that had just shown sharp corners, and said, "I study hard and gain fame, isn't it just to glorify my ancestors, to make the Dou family more prosperous and prominent, and to make the people of the Dou family live better than others?" But now, your mother hanged herself, and I turned against your uncle, and I wanted to keep the system for your mother for three years but couldn't, and I might drag the fifth lady of the family in, or even leave your sister without a mother...... Not only did I not let the people around me live comfortably, but because of me, the situation became more difficult, and what did I do for it? I'm already sorry for your mother, I can't be sorry for the fifth lady of the Zhujia family anymore, I'm sorry for Wang Yingxue......"

The father's melancholy gaze, like the faint moonlight, seemed to be very near, and yet seemed to be far away.

It made Dou Zhao's heart sour.

Father, is so lonely, his mind can only be told to his ignorant daughter in the dead of night.

She suddenly understood why she had never hated her father in her previous life and this life.

※※※※※

When my father returned to the main room, he wrote a letter, and before dawn, he asked the little servant to call Gao Sheng in: "...... Rush to the homes in the east of the city before the third wife goes out. ”

Gao Sheng was very surprised, but he still went out according to his father's instructions.

At noon, the third aunt came back from Zhujia with a sad face.

"Uncle, the people of all families said that it was too anxious to get married before the Dragon Boat Festival. When others heard this, they thought that the fifth lady of their family was going to Chongxi! ”

Grandfather is not afraid.

Only those who don't take their daughter-in-law in their eyes will do such a thing as Chongxi.

What you say is too unpleasant.

The third aunt also felt the same way, but sighed: "I don't blame the families for being angry, we also said it for three years, and now we are also talking about getting married on the Dragon Boat Festival." The families are also big families, not to mention that they are in such a hurry to prepare the dowry, even if they notify their relatives and friends, they are afraid that it will be too late. ”

"I know that too. It's just that it's just a matter of urgency, and that's the only way to go. Grandfather said, "I remember that there is a sister in Zhuju who married into the Chen family in Xinle County next door, or ask the aunt and grandmother of the Zhu family to come forward to help talk about the item?" ”

"Then I'll have lunch and leave for Xinle." The third aunt did not refuse, and immediately said.

The grandfather said a few words of thanks and left the third aunt for lunch.

"The east and west sinuses were originally one family, and the affairs of the seventh uncle are the same as mine." The third aunt was polite and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to spend the night in Xinle tonight, and I still have to arrange things at home." Uncle doesn't need to be polite to me, the most important thing is to get this matter done. ”

Grandfather didn't keep her, so Qiu Fen sent the third aunt out of the second door.

After that, no matter who the third aunt moved to the Zhujia to speak, the Zhujia insisted that they would not let go.

The third aunt was so anxious that her mouth was blistered, and she regretted it very much: "If I knew this, I should have married my sister-in-law's little cousin." Now if you want to change people, you have to get the letter of resignation from all the families, but I'm afraid that it will be too late in time. ”

My grandfather was angry with my father, and on a hot day, he made my father kneel in the front yard without trees for a whole afternoon, so that my father's knees were red and swollen, and it was difficult for him to walk, so he went to the doctor to see a doctor.

At this time, Wang Yingxue's eldest brother Wang Zhizhi suddenly came to visit.

Wang Zhizhi is only in his early thirties this year, probably because of the difficulties of life, which makes him look as old as forty years old.

He stood straight in the hall of the Wang family, with the upright and resolute strength of a green pine.

"My little sister was dragged down by me as an elder brother, so she showed up to do some business for a living. I didn't know, but now that I know, I'm here to pick up our little sister back. He said in a solemn tone, "I didn't ask for your family's dowry, you wrote a paper and put the concubine book, you and I have since unveiled it, the bridge returns to the bridge, and the road returns to the road." ”

Grandfather was silent for a long time, and asked Wang Yingxue to be invited.

When Wang Yingxue saw her brother, she was surprised and delighted.

"Big brother, why are you back!" She couldn't help grabbing Wang Zhishan's arm, and then her face suddenly changed, and she looked Wang Zhizhi up and down, "Is it Daddy...... What happened? Before the sentence was finished, tears had already fallen.

"No, no!" Wang Zhishan's eyes also turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Daddy was ordered by Xintai County, Shandong, and wrote a letter to go home, only then did I know you, you entered the Dou Mansion, Daddy knew, regretted and hated, and slapped himself three times in a row, only saying that it was a burden on you at home, let me rush back and take you home." ”

"What did you say?" Wang Yingxue looked at Wang Zhizhi blankly, "Daddy, daddy, his old man, has he recovered?" ”

"Hmm!" Wang Zhizhi nodded again and again, "Daddy, his old man has recovered, and he will pick up his mother and go to you to reunite with you in a few days, and you don't have to worry about what to eat and drink at home every day...... In the future, these things will be left to the eldest brother to worry about! ”

"Big brother!" Wang Yingxue grabbed Wang Zhizhi's sleeve and cried bitterly.

Wang Zhizhi turned his head, Wang Yingxue cried and wet his sleeves, and his mood calmed down.

"Don't cry, if you have anything to say, let's go home and talk about it." Wang Zhizhi said, looking at his grandfather, "If Master Dou doesn't have any orders, we will leave." ”

Even Wang Yingxue's change of clothes was not ready to be asked.

Grandfather naturally couldn't let Wang Yingxue go like this, and said with a smile: "Ling Zun and our family Yuanji are in the same family, and they are not outsiders. Since you're here, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea? When Sister Ling entered the door, the house arranged for the grandmother and maid who served her, and added some things, I asked the grandmother and maid to clean up, and then you brought people and things together. Ling Zun has just recovered, and there are thousands of things, and everything has to go smoothly. The Wang family can enter the door of our house, it is all a mistake, you can't let her go empty-handed, right? When others say it, it doesn't sound good! ”

"No need!" As soon as Wang Zhizhi answered, his sister's voice was a little sharp because of his high-pitched voice: "What did you say?" Let me follow you back, what about Sister Ming? She's just over one year old! ”

At five o'clock, the network was disconnected, but I didn't finish writing, so I went to borrow someone else's wireless network card, and people went shopping...... The mess made people feel impatient, and then it was changed again, and it was only then that it was updated. I'm embarrassed to apologize...... Typo or something, because it takes a while to display after changing, it's a bit slow, you can wait to see it later......
