Those little guys didn't come to drink the horses for a few days, because the horses drank the unclean water near the Ningbi Courtyard, and they had been pulling their stomachs for several days, and they couldn't work. The new craftsman came to check and found that the waterway was unimpeded, the water was clear, and there was nothing abnormal, but since the horse had drunk water and had diarrhea, and the waterway was useless, it was better to seal it. Therefore, he told the leading craftsman to seal this waterway, and Ningbi Temple returned to its former purity.

Mama Gui smiled and said: "Miss, it's still your silver that is useful, we usually don't pay attention to what we say, give a little benefit and they will listen immediately, it's really rich to make ghosts grind." ”

Wen Yukou was holding the sheep's hair, practicing calligraphy, and the Juanxiu font fell on the clean paper, which was very beautiful: "The new craftsman doesn't know the things in the house, so it's easier to buy, and the waterway is sealed, and Mrs. Dou knows that it's too late to stop it." However, she will be coming to Ningbi Courtyard soon, should we prepare some good gifts for her? ”

Hua Yue was studying ink, and when she heard this, she stopped the movements in her hand and said suspiciously: "Good gift? The Ningbi Courtyard is full of gifts from Mrs. Dou, even Xiyue and Jiaoyue are all sent by her, what gift should I return? ”

Wen Yukou shook her hand and wrote a wrong word, she put down the sheep's hair, blew the ink on the paper, so that it dries faster, and then gently looked at the words she wrote, and shook her head: "Huayue, the courtyard is full of Mrs. Dou's things, don't you bother to read it?" Before giving gifts, take care of things first. ”

Mama Gui suddenly understood, and immediately said, "Yes, Miss, I will call all the people in the courtyard at once!" These disobedient people should have been beaten hard a long time ago to save them from getting angry. ”

Mama Gui hurriedly went out, and the people were almost screaming, two big girl rings (Xiyue and Jiaoyue were not there), eight little girl rings, two small maids, and four nursing homes, because Wen Yukou was still young, and it was not taboo, all gathered in the courtyard. They thought that this great lady was going to pay money again, and they were so happy that they kept talking to each other.

Wen Yukou changed into a silver fox cloak, hung down on her heels, and her hood covered half of her face, revealing only her white jade-like chin, which made her look more and more petite. She coughed lightly, delicate and weak, and was supported by Hua Yue, I felt pity.

Mama Gui stood in front and was about to speak, but Xiyue stumbled in: "Mrs. Dou is about to arrive, quickly pack up and prepare to greet ...... Miss, you, why did you come out......"

Xiyue didn't return for two days, and when she saw Wen Yukou at a glance, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

Wen Yukou didn't pay attention to her, and quietly leaned on Hua Yue, Mama Gui came over and scraped Xiyue's ear scraper fiercely: "Bastard thing, it's not big or small, what are you calling when you see that the master doesn't salute?!" ”

Xiyue covered her face, her white skin flushed, and she hated and angry. She is a big girl, she was beaten, and she showed her eyes, how will she gain a foothold in the future? But who knew that the sick man actually woke up! She gritted her teeth, got up and saluted, and stood in the middle of the line.

With this beat, the courtyard suddenly quieted down, and the people didn't dare to come out, hanging their heads and eyes.

The courtyard door was pushed open, and someone came in, and there were quite a few.

Wen Yukou pretended not to know, smiled slightly, and said to Mama Gui: "I was thinking about Aunt Dou, but it happened that she came, Mama, do you think this is a heart?" ”

But I heard a person laugh and said: "Yukou, this is naturally a heart, I heard that you woke up, as soon as the carriage entered the house, I hurriedly asked the old lady for leave, and hurried over." Come over to me in my arms and let me see. ”

Dou's voice was mixed with a bit of distress and pity, and it was obvious that the mother and daughter were in a deep relationship and came in a hurry.

The courtyard door opened, first came in four grandmothers, their heads and faces were clean, paying attention to etiquette, and they waited in a row after inviting An, and then there were several young maidservants, wearing jade rabbit fur jackets, tied silk satin skirts, holding hand stove sachets and handkerchiefs, etc., and waited beside Dou's side, hugging her in. At the back of the door were a few small servants, carrying a few cages, waiting outside the door of the inner courtyard to stop in the outer courtyard.

It's a big formation.

If you are really anxious to see a doctor and come in a hurry, as for bringing so many mothers-in-law and maids, are you dressed so finely? There were only a few days before they woke up, enough time for them to plan for the sudden change. Besides, after the waterway was sealed, she probably couldn't sit still.

Wen Yukou raised her hand slightly, a trace of worry flashed in Hua Yue's eyes, but she still bowed her head and left, standing in the big girl ring team.

Everyone stood aside, but Dou Shi came with a smile on his face.

Wen Yukou appeared in front of her eyes a noble lady with a heavenly fragrance high bun, a bright moon face, white skin and beautiful appearance, wearing a dazzling nine phoenix golden hairpin on her head, a rich and noble double happiness silver step, the silver light of the step is soft and moist, but it looks like jade, elegant and noble. Wearing a Mulan green double-embroidered satin dress, a colorful carved silk moon and white silver mouse gown, the clothes are more solemn, peaceful and generous, and not losing the majesty.

Dou has always paid attention to maintenance, keeping the skin blowable and breakable, his appearance is glamorous but not demonic, and his demeanor is magnificent.

Wen Yukou's heart darkened, but there was a shallow smile in her eyes: "Let Mrs. Dou worry, Yukou is ashamed." ”

Dou's ears were tipped, and just now he clearly heard Wen Yukou calling himself "Aunt Dou", and he was suspicious, thinking that Wen Yukou was dizzy from sleep, and he lost his mouth for a while. Now that I heard Wen Yukou call herself Mrs. Dou, I became more and more uncertain.

In a blink of an eye, she saw a large number of people standing in the courtyard, and Xiyue was her own person, and she glanced at her from time to time. Who is the Dou family, and immediately understood that Wen Yukou was cleaning up the portal.

Dou Shi smiled again: "Yukou, it's windy today, don't stand at the tuyere, I got a lot of good things, ask them to bring them in, do you like it?" If you like it, you can stay and enjoy it, just when you are cured, it is good to reward people according to the custom. ”

"Convention?" Wen Yukou's lips showed a hint of unpredictable mockery: "Madame is very attentive to me, and no other aunt will ask me about it." These subordinates are negligent in their duties, do not serve well, and if they don't beat them well, I'm afraid that something will go wrong. The reward is a reward, the punishment is a punishment, the rules set by my mother back then, as the daughter of the Wen family, I keep it in mind. ”

The smile on Dou's face couldn't hold back.

She Dou Zhihuan worked hard for nearly ten years before she took over the power of the family from the hands of the eldest lady Yu Linglong, procuring and adding, money exchanges, fields and houses, up and down, all of which were properly taken care of. But Wen Yukou reminded the Dou family again and again, no matter how noble she is, no matter how capable she is, as long as the eldest lady of the Wen Mansion, Yu Linglong, is still panting, she Dou will always be just an aunt!

Dou Shi was shocked and angry, and his doubts suddenly rose, the little girl in front of him who was covered with half of her face by a snow-white hood was still the weak and sickly, lonely and helpless Wen Yukou?

If it was her, how could she dare to say something like this, and puncture this taboo in front of the minions that no one dared to mention?

Dou took great pains to do all the drama to deceive the Wen sisters and brothers to rely on themselves and win praise from all over the world. In just one night, Wen Yukou changed her face, not only was she no longer close to herself, but her hostility was hard to hide, reminding them of their status and identity from time to time.

This little idiot actually dared to challenge her, hum, concubine. My Yulan should be a well-deserved daughter of the Wen family, what are you?! Yu Linglong's living dead will always be a burden, a slut is a slut, and the one who was born is also a slut!

What Dou Shi thought in her heart seemed to be known by Wen Yukou, and she was also suppressing the turbulent torrent in her heart, anger, and despair, so as to restrain the urge to pounce on her and drink blood and eat meat.

Can't move!

Wen Yukou tugged at her hood. The hood with soft and long fur perfectly covers his eyes, as well as the hatred and despair floating in his eyes. Dou is cautious, if he doesn't wear a hood, I'm afraid he won't be able to perform tricks.

"Although Yukou is young, if she doesn't follow the way to learn how to govern the family, the etiquette of the boudoir will disappoint her father and her mother will be sad, this is a big crime of unfilial piety, I think Mrs. Dou thinks the same way, right?"

The steps on Dou's head swayed, and the yin owl in his eyes flashed, revealing a smile like flowers and snow again: "The eldest lady remembers her mother's teachings, filial piety is commendable, since you want to rectify the next person, you have just recovered from your illness, and you should not be tired of yourself." Come on, don't hurry up and help the eldest lady to sit down, if I am a little negligent, you will start to make a fuss and lose the face of the Wen family! ”

Mama Jin beside Dou hurriedly walked over and helped Wen Yukou to sit down, obviously there were two seats, Dou turned a blind eye and stood aside with an amiable smile. Wen Yukou brought a gun in her words just now, pointing out the identity of the Dou family, as long as Wen Yukou didn't speak, the Dou family, who was a head shorter than her, could only stand.

Mrs. Dou, who is shrewd and capable in the Wen Mansion, actually swallowed her anger in front of a little girl who didn't have any hair, and didn't even dare to sit, so that everyone's hearts were full of joy, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense, so they held their breath and became serious.

Wen Yukou sat upright, as if she didn't see it, Mama Gui brought tea and put it in her hand. In addition, he brought a small red clay stove, on which sat a steaming kettle, which was about to roll before it was boiling, and it was eating and eating. Then he brought a few large tea cups and laid them out one by one.

What does this do? Do you pour a cup of tea for one person? Let the grandmothers and girls in this yard stand and drink tea?

"Yun'er, Sheng'er."

Wen Yukou pointed out the names of the two little maids, and her voice was soft, kind and lovely.

The named little girl glanced at each other, you pushed me, I pushed you out. They were all dressed in green shirts and rabbit fur jackets, and stood pitifully in front of Wen Yukou, bowing their heads and saying nothing.

Wen Yukou glanced at the two of them carefully, and from the surface alone, she couldn't see anything: "Do you know what's wrong?" ”

Yun'er saw that the young lady didn't look angry, so she boldly replied: "Slave, slave doesn't know what's wrong...... In front of her was Wen Yukou's small hand, like beautiful jade, crystal clear.

At this time, Mama Gui, who was standing on the side, suddenly said, "Miss, the water is boiling." After seeing Wen Yukou nodding, he poured boiling water in the four large tea cups, and the white smoke was billowing and extremely hot. She then pulled the rings of the two little maids, ordered them to kneel by the fire, and each of them held two tea cups filled with boiling water above their heads. The two didn't dare to take it, but they didn't dare not take it.

In a short time, the hands of the two little girls were burned red, and the pain was unbearable, and as long as the body shook, boiling water would pour from the top of the head, all of which were fine skin and tender meat, who could withstand this kind of torture. All of a sudden, the smell of scalded meat wafted in the courtyard, which was terrifying.

The two little girls were tortured like this, crying dad and calling mother, and Mama Gui shouted angrily: "Do you know the mistake!" If you know what is wrong, tell the eldest lady where she is wrong! ”

"The eldest lady spares her life, spares her life, and the slave knows...... The slave knows that she is wrong! Slaves and maids should not doze off, and never ...... again Won't make a mistake...... It's hot, it's hot......"

"Please spare your life! Slaves and maids should not be lazy when cleaning the yard, and ...... Also gathered in ...... The courtyard gate is lively...... The slave knows her mistake! ”

Wen Yukou's eyes darkened: "Add water!" ”

Everyone was shocked, since Yun'er and Sheng'er had already admitted their mistake, why did the eldest lady continue to add water, was it not to vent her personal anger? Under the wailing, no one dared to cry out for the poor little girl, in case of trouble, I don't know what will happen to the road?

Dou only watched from the sidelines, without speaking, in fact, he was secretly happy in his heart. Wen Yukou's torture method is nothing at all, Dou's private torture is much more high-end, and it definitely makes people cry. But an eldest lady is so violent and vicious, and it will reach the ears of the master in the future, and it will be beneficial to herself and harmless.

Yun'er was almost burned and fainted, and the boiling water splashed out from time to time with trembling, burning on her arms, forehead, and eyes, so hot and painful. In a daze, she felt that the eldest lady had come to her, and she began to beg for mercy.

Wen Yukou motioned for Mama Gui to take the teacup and asked again, "Do you know the mistake?" ”

Yun'er lowered her head and replied weakly: "Please, beg the eldest lady to spare her life...... Slaves shouldn't be lazy...... I beg the eldest lady to spare her life......"

There was a sudden crisp sound of the tea cup breaking on the side, Sheng'er rolled her eyes, and she was burned and fainted.

Wen Yukou straightened up and suddenly said to the Dou family: "Mrs. Dou, you are now the head of the house, can you do Yukou a favor and be a witness?" ”

Dou Shi coldly saw her pull on himself, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady said this, the slaves are disobedient, because I am not strict in discipline, and the eldest lady will deal with it on my behalf, and I can't sit idly by, just give orders." ”

"Then Mrs. Lao Dou will send someone to search these two maids' rooms to see what they can find, so that they can sincerely admit their mistakes, so as not to blame me for being wrongly punished."

Dou's expression moved slightly, what a powerful girl!

The two grandmothers went to Yun'er Sheng'er's room with a few maid rings to search, Yun'er was still being punished, and Sheng'er, who had fainted, stretched out her two scalded hands, with rotten skin and swollen flesh, which was miserable.

Wen Yukou drank tea slowly under the service of Mama Gui, and her lips were red and delicate by the heat, as beautiful as flowers. The courtyard was unusually quiet, and Dou was also a person who was willing to endure, waiting for her to finish drinking this cup of tea.

I only heard a yellow finch outside the courtyard "flutter" and flew away from the branch, Xiyue was already timid, at this time, under the shock, the trembling body was weak, and he actually fell, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.

But no one paid attention to her.

Not long after, Mama Jin came back with the searchers. Mama Jin dragged a piece of red cloth in her hand, with two small objects on it, she glanced at Dou's family, made a look, and then sent it straight to Wen Yukou: "Tell the eldest lady, the slaves and maids found a gem-encrusted double dragon pattern gold bracelet and a pair of red jade bead earrings in the room of the two girls. The gold bracelet was hidden in Yun'er's baggage, and the earrings were hidden in Sheng'er's pillow. ”

"Mama Jin, you are your aunt's person, and you are an old lady with a head and a face in the house, you will never be biased against anyone. Do you recognize these? Wen Yukou asked softly.

"I recognize it, it's a congratulatory gift from Princess Chaoyang at the old lady's 80th birthday banquet." Mama Jin is afraid that if she says too much, she will lose.

Princess Chaoyang is the only daughter of the saint today, the Jiao'er of the Xiahou Dynasty, the saint loves her very much, and her status is supremely noble. Because of the death of her biological mother Cao Guifei when she was just born, and she was born with asthma, the old lady who accidentally learned that she couldn't bear it, so she went into the palace to take care of her until she was three years old before returning home. Now the princess and the old lady often move around, on the day of the old lady's birthday banquet, the princess went out of the palace to celebrate her birthday despite her frailty, which shows the deep love of her ancestors and grandchildren, and her tenacity is not urged.

Wen Yukou pursed her lips and smiled: "Princess Chaoyang also had a happy life under the knees of the old lady, since it is a princess's thing, the old lady must not be easy to reward people." It is said that Yulan's sister asked for it several times, but the old lady spoiled her so much that she didn't give it to her. Now this precious congratulatory gift has appeared in my courtyard, and I have been told that I have to take care of it as the master. Ask my aunt, can the gold bracelets and earrings still be recorded in the library? ”

Dou's face was still unfazed, but in fact, layers of wind turned up in his heart. It was Xiyue who pushed Wen Yukou into the ice lake at the beginning, and Jiaoyue was responsible for tripping Hua Yue and Gui Mama, they both acted according to their own orders and did a good job, so they added gold bracelets and earrings to their private rewards.

It's just that this extra thing is still recorded in the library, and it is not crossed out. The Dou clan originally wanted to find a reason to conduct a large-scale search after some time, add the crime of stealing to Xiyue and Jiaoyue, and send them to see the king of Hades. After all, people are
