Chapter 374: Dissatisfaction
Dou Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, she said to Su Lan: "You say, what's going on?" β
Su Lan pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Madame should be happy, the relationship between the eldest and the prince is so good." β
"yes!" Dou Zhao sighed, "I'm not a good daughter, but fortunately I still have a son." β
Her mood was happy again, and she personally went to the kitchen to instruct the mother-in-law on the stove to make a table and a banquet for people to go to the outer courtyard.
Dou Shiying chatted with Song Moxu, he was in a good mood, and he stayed in Yizhitang until the first day of the lanterns before returning home, and when Zhao Si's family left Beijing, he no longer took Zhao Si's indifference to him to heart.
If his sister had encountered such a thing, he would probably have been difficult to let go.
There is no one in this world who can satisfy everyone, so why not be honest and honest? As long as I'm worthy of my conscience!
Yantang is so right.
As long as you have a clear conscience, as for what others think and think, that's someone else's business.
He only felt refreshed, swept away the gloom for so many years, prepared Cheng Yi and farewell gifts for Zhao Si, personally sent them to Yuqiao Hutong, drank a cup of tea calmly in his aunt's slightly apologetic look, chatted with his aunt for a few words, and got up to say goodbye.
My aunt went to the study.
Seeing that her husband was practicing calligraphy there impetuously, she couldn't help but sigh softly, turned around and went to Zhao Zhangru's place, and asked her if her luggage was all packed: "...... Don't lose it. β
Zhao Zhangru didn't care, and said: "This is Shougu's house, even if something falls, we have Shougu to help us collect it, she has a grange in Huguang, and when the time comes, let people bring it to Huguang." β
My aunt glared.
It happened that Song Yan came in, and after knowing it, he smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, I'll help you watch." Nothing will be left here. β
Zhao Zhangru blushed and smiled at her husband.
My aunt couldn't help but smile and shake her head.
Fortunately, there is Song Yan.
He grew up eating hundreds of meals since he was a child, and he was careful and cautious, which just made up for his daughter's carelessness. But because of this, her daughter's liveliness and cheerfulness made up for Song Yan's sensitivity and delicacy, and this marriage was excellent.
Not stupid, not deaf, not to estimate Aweng.
She smiled and went to the hall.
β»β»β»β»β»
Dou Zhao sent away his uncle's family and began to prepare for Su Lan's marriage.
She prepared the same dowry for Su Lan as Su Xin.
Chen He was very uneasy, and Ling Lan excused the dowry: "My brother-in-law is because of his meager family background, and he is an errand for his wife." I am the nurse brother of the prince, and I have the prince to take care of me, so it doesn't have to be like this. β
Su Lan shook her head. Said: "The elder gave it, I didn't dare to resign, and the things given by the owner were the same." You and I should be happy to accept it, but when we receive people and things in the future, we will think about how the owner treats us, and we will know how we should behave and do things. How to choose what to do or not to do, even if it is a reward for the owner. β
Chen He didn't expect that the smug Su Lan would tell such a simple truth, and he couldn't help but look at her differently, and he no longer dared to just coax her as a girl who didn't know anything about the world like before, and treat her with more respect from now on.
Chen's mother saw that Chen He really liked her daughter-in-law, and thought of the dead Chen Tao. I feel that there are impermanence in this world, and I will be more tolerant when I treat Su Xin, after Su Lan marries. Unexpectedly, Dou Zhao lived happily, which Dou Zhao did not expect.
It's just that she doesn't know it yet.
Just two days before Su Lan's marriage, Lu Zheng's family brought two little maids to the east wing of the upper courtyard to receive the summer clothes in Song Han's courtyard. went to the backyard and asked Dou Zhao for peace.
Dou Zhao was already slightly pregnant. She stood for a while, feeling a little tired, sat down on the side of the beauty covered with a fur cushion, and took two Fujian tribute tangerines from the blue and white porcelain stilt plate on the coffee table and gave them to Lu Zheng's family: "Take it back and give it to the children!" β
Lu Zhengjia thanked him again and again, and said in a low voice: "I heard from the people of the Xiangyuan that the grandfather of the country intends to allocate the Chu'er of the Xiangyuan to the second master's envoy, but that Chu'er is a person who has served the grandfather of the country closely, how can he be stuffed into the second master's house, and I ask my wife to help me get the idea of this matter." β
Have you served Song Yichun closely?
What is the close approach?
To be honest, she really didn't find out.
Dou Zhao groaned: "I have said, the second master can just take the idea of what is in the second master's house." If this is what the second master means, I will naturally stop it. β
The implication is that if it is just the meaning of Lu Zhengjia, even if this Chuan Er once served Song Yichun closely, she will turn a blind eye.
Lu Zhengjia's face turned red, and he said after a while: "Madame doesn't know, that Chu'er looks like a goblin, it's a man who looks straight at her, the second master is still young, if he knows that Grandpa Guo transferred Chu'er to his house, how can he refuse?" And that Chu'er originally provoked the Bai Zhi girl in Grandpa Guo's house, and was given eye medicine by Bai Zhi girl, which provoked Grandpa Guo, and Grandpa Guo was angry and called Chu'er girl to the second master's house. When such a person enters the second master's house, he must not make a miasma in the second master's house! β
She said and knelt in front of Dou Zhao: "Please also ask Madame to fulfill the heart of the slave." β
Angelica dahurica?
Isn't she a second-class maid in Song Yichun's house?
The last time I went to Xiangxiyuan to serve the sick, I only saw two big maids Luo Yan and Shen Yu and a few little maids who were still in the main corner, she wondered at the time, why Song Yichun only had these maids around him, and later looked at the book of servants in the British Mansion and found that there were four big maids in Song Yichun's house, eight second-class maids, twelve third-class maids, and a number of unclass maids and daughters-in-law, a total of forty-four people.
She hasn't had a chance to meet yet, but she didn't expect that because of a second-class maid, Chu'er, she had contact with the maid of the Xiangyuan in advance.
Dou Zhao said: "I will consider this matter." β
Lu Zheng's family was disappointed and left.
Dou Zhao shouted "Su Xin" loudly.
Ganlu came in and responded with a smile: "How did Madam forget about this matter-Sister Su Xin led Sister Su Juan to send fruit to the nephew and young master." β
Dou Zhao smiled.
Today is the third township exam, and like the previous two times, she prepared fresh fruits for Su Xin to send to the examination room.
Usually, there is always something to shout, and Su Xin shouts smoothly.
When Zhao Liangbi returns to Beijing in the summer, Su Xin is going home, and he doesn't even seem to have a maid to talk to.
I have to slowly get used to these henchmen around me and leave one by one.
Dou Zhao remembered that Chen Qushui came in.
No wonder those men like to use staff.
In addition to being well-informed, the guests and hosts can get along for a long time, get used to each other's living habits and thinking methods and become more and more tacit. It is also an important reason.
She wandered around the house for a long time, and finally made up her mind to ask Ganlu to invite Chen Qushui over.
Chen Qushui sat down opposite Dou Zhao, and said with a straight smile: "Su Xin is married, Madame must feel very unaccustomed, there is no one who can discuss the affairs of the inner courtyard, so you came to me, right?" β
Dou Zhao's face suddenly turned a little red.
Chen Qushui smiled and said: "Actually, if Madame doesn't look for me, I will also come to Madame." "I still remember the first time I met Madame." The owner of the annex was dying, and his wife, dressed in a large pigmented gown, walked in calmly and calmly. The bright colors brighten up the room at once. The owner of the annex asked me to beg you to take in the other sisters, you couldn't bear it, but you still calmly weighed the gains and losses, that kind of confidence. Let you be like a jewel lost in the rubble, only that trace of sunlight will shine brightly. I was thinking at the time, this little girl must be loved by thousands of people to have such style and tenacity.
"When I know my wife's situation, I can only admire.
"So when Madame asked me to go to the West Seat. My heart was moved.
"I will never be able to be a staff member for any feudal official in my life, but I can help this little girl in front of me become the head of a family.
"Madame did not remember that I was disappointed.
"Judge the situation and rationally give up the plan of celibacy. and the prince became a loving couple.
"But now, after you have rightfully grasped the power of the British government to preside over the central feed, you have begun to hesitate, hesitate, hesitate. Raise Master Duan and them as ordinary guards, and protect me as a person in the last years of the wind and candle. It's the opposite of what you decided when you first entered the house.
"But I understand you.
"Since you have decided to solve the mystery of the father-son feud for the prince, you will definitely do it.
"I don't know what's going on.
"But no matter what happens, I just want to tell Mrs. SΓΉ that these people we really have come to have both glory and loss with Mrs. If Mrs. has a case, I just want to be Cheng Ying, and with my close relationship with Mrs., I'm afraid it won't work. β
Dou Zhao was slightly shocked.
Isn't it possible?
Chen Qushui's heart was as if a thousand waves had been set off.
Sure enough, Mrs. encountered a matter of life and death.
He added: "Even if Madame sends all of us back to Zhending at this moment, we rootless Ping, who does Madam think will defend us?" β
A word to wake up the dreamer.
When she asked Chen Qushui to take Duan Gongyi and others into Beijing, the fate of these people was really tied to her.
It's not something she can get rid of if she wants to.
She did make the wrong decision.
Dou Zhao's gaze became resolute.
Chen Qushui laughed.
Dou Zhao got up and said, "Sir, let's go to the pavilion in the backyard to talk." β
There is a wide field of vision, although everyone can see her and Chen Qushui, but whoever approaches them can also be seen clearly.
Chen Qushui bowed his head and went to the pavilion with Dou Zhao.
The spring breeze was precipitous, but Dou Zhao and Chen Qushui sat in the pavilion for almost an hour, and then they returned to the small flower hall and continued to talk.
"So, you doubt King Liao?" Chen Qushui's face was gray, and his gaze at Dou Zhao looked a little obscure.
Dou Zhao nodded slightly.
Chen Qushui lowered his head and was silent for a long time.
The wind blows in the early spring, and the branches and leaves that have just emerged green outside the glass window tremble slightly, and they have the softness of spring.
