Ninefold Purple

Dou Zhao was a little embarrassed: "My suspicion is getting heavier and heavier!"

Chen Qushui didn't think otherwise, and praised her with a smile: "It's not that Miss is suspicious, but that we are just vines attached to the tree of Dou's house, and we don't have our own strength to touch those core things. We can only observe some details. Come to monitor the development of the matter, so as to avoid those things that can affect us..." At this point, he paused, and said with a serious face, "Miss Si, thanks to your great love, I have not kept things from me about the family, and I will thank you very much. I can see your predicament to some extent. I know you want to be self-reliant, but have you ever thought about it, this kind of thing is impossible without ten years of effort. "

"Not only have I thought about it, but I also know how difficult our road is." Dou Zhao nodded. There may be heirs, which means that it is impossible for me to have Jinshi in my direct lineage. Without Jinshi, I can only rely on others in politics. This is a dilemma. Although I have a lot of property in my name, I only have 1 taels of silver every year. Even though he opened a pen and ink shop with the help of people like Fan Wenshu, it would take five years to make a name for himself, and even if he became the number one in Beizhili, its income compared to our expenditure For me, it’s like a drop in the bucket—we need to raise a group of people who can help us find out information at any time, which is a trilemma. I can see all of this, although my husband sees farther and deeper than me.” She said sincerely , "So Mr. Chen promised to help me. Although I didn't say it, I was very grateful in my heart."

Chen Qushui hastily raised his hands: "Ashamed, ashamed! My old partner has little talent and learning, and I can't help the young lady."

"Sir, you don't have to be humble." Dou Zhao smiled, "We wouldn't be where we are today without you." Her eyes were firm and bright.The tone is calm and timid, "But I can give up because of difficulties, I always have to try!" [

Chen Qushui nodded solemnly: "That's exactly what Miss said."

This is exactly what he likes about Dou Zhao.

Never give up no matter what difficulties you encounter.

His heart, which had been disheartened for a long time, also began to beat.

A person only needs a firm belief and the courage to move forward.No matter how tortuous and difficult the process is.But what awaits him in the end will surely be rich fruits.

He was afraid that Dou Zhao would give up halfway.

The topic of the two is very serious.The atmosphere in the room was unavoidably tense.

Dou Zhao didn't like this aura.

She smiled and encouraged Chen Qushui: "Look now, my annual bill has risen from 1000 taels to 1 taels, and I have hired experts like Duan Gongyi and Chen Xiaotong to protect me. If it was in the past, it would be a dream It's something I dare not even think about! This person's life is still long, who knows what will happen? We must have confidence."

Chen Qushui laughed and felt relieved: "Okay! As long as the lady has confidence, it doesn't matter if I drag this old, weak and disabled body to follow the lady!"

Dou Zhao couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.Toast Chen Qushui with tea instead of wine.

Chen Qushui drank it all in one gulp.

The two couldn't help but smile at each other.

A few days later, Cui Shisan came back from the capital: "Okay. I have visited all the people you mentioned." He said suspiciously, "You really want me to work as the second palm shop in the brush and ink shop in the capital? I don't understand anything? Would you let me study in Dou's shop for two years first? And then I think the model document is very well done, and there is no need to add a second shopkeeper. "

As for Fan Wenshu's faint guard against his enthusiasm, if it was in the past, he would definitely fight him unconvinced, but since he followed Dou Qijun to watch the life of the refugee and farmer, his mood has changed a lot. , I feel that it is human nature for Fan Wenshu to do this. He can not only understand, but also understand, so there is no need to make a fuss, and compare the truth with Fan Wenshu when there is nothing wrong with Fan Wenshu.

Dou Zhao didn't make a sound, his white and slender fingertips with well-defined knuckles gently stroked the green glaze pattern of the teacup, and said in a low voice, "Thirteen, have you heard about my mother?"

Cui Shisan was taken aback, lowered his eyelids as if avoiding, and said softly: "No!"

"You're lying." Dou Zhao laughed, and the laughter became clearer and sweeter.

Cui Shisan was very embarrassed. [

Dou Zhao said leisurely: "The Wang family is powerful, I can't afford to provoke it now, but it doesn't mean I can't afford to provoke it in the future. I asked you to be the second shopkeeper, not to let you intervene in the business of the brush and ink shop, but to make you go to the capital to make some friends. Officials who can provide us with temple affairs."

She confessed to Cui Shisan.

Cui Shisan's face changed drastically: "You want to take revenge on Mrs. Wang?" Then he said hastily, "I won't participate in this matter..."

It's so commonplace!

Dou Zhao laughed at himself.

The person who was most loyal to her in the previous life has rejected her unceremoniously in this life.

"Revenge on Mrs. Wang?" She picked up the teacup unhurriedly, "You may not think highly of her, but also look down on me too much."

Cui Shisan was stunned.

"I want to take revenge on her?" Dou Zhaodi took a sip of tea and said coldly, "I just need to persuade my father to take a concubine and give birth to a concubine eldest son who I will raise, and then find someone to seduce Dou Ming, and she will be finished. I need you." revenge!"

"Then, what are you going to do?" Cui Shisan jumped up with a face as white as paper.

Yes, she was right at all.

The Wang family has not been able to give birth to a male heir for the weak Xifu for many years. Dou Zhao can completely put pressure on Dou Shiying through the second wife or even Aunt Cui to let Dou Shiying take a concubine. It is reasonable and reasonable for the right of the mistress to hand over the young eldest son to the dignified, stable, generous and prudent eldest daughter.But now Xi Dou is full of Dou Zhao's people from top to bottom, it's easy to ruin Dou Ming's reputation, it just needs to use brains...

A thought flashed by, Cui Shisan looked at Dou Zhao's frosty face and had an inexplicable idea, thinking of another possibility.

He couldn't help but said in amazement: "Could it be that you, you want to set up your own family?" As soon as the words came out, he immediately denied himself, "No, no, it's impossible..."

Cui Shisan has always been so clever.

Dou Zhaochang sighed and asked him, "Why is it impossible?"

Cui Shisan said without thinking: "Because you are a woman..."

"Aunt Cui is also a woman." Dou Zhao said with a smile, "Isn't she also living a good life?"

Cui Shisan's mind suddenly became a little confused, and he couldn't help lowering his head to think. Gradually, a bold idea gradually formed in his mind: "You mean. Occupying a place in the Dou family will make the Dou family have to respect you..."

"Do you want to work with me?" Dou Zhao smiled but did not answer, and invited him, "In this way, the Cui family will be able to train their children to study. Maybe decades or hundreds of years later, it will become the second Dou family!"

Cui 13's eyes were shining, but only for a moment.He categorically said "do it".

Dou Zhao applauded secretly in his heart, and said in a low voice: "The most important thing for you to go to the capital this time is to find a way to quietly release loan sharks..."

She told Cui Shisan about her plan.

Cui Shisan listened.Eyes are getting brighter.By the end, it was blood boiling.

"Miss Si, you just have to look at me!"

This is the first time he honored Dou Zhao as "you".

Dou Zhao pretended not to hear, and nodded with a smile.

Cui Shisan said: "Then. Then why don't you use those methods to deal with Wang?"

Dou Zhao was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Be a human being. You must have a bottom line!"

Cui Shisan sat silently for a long time, then got up, saluted her respectfully, and retreated.

Dou Zhao sat alone on the large kang next to him, drinking tea slowly.

Wang Yingxue, if she does something wrong, she will be fined. The Wang family doesn't care, she will take care of it.

but not now.

An heir or something will only make her sad, but it will not make her regret or despair.

Dou Ming, I was sorry for her in the previous life.

This world has done nothing wrong.

I can't take revenge on her for something she didn't do.

This is the principle of being a man.

She didn't lie to Cui Shisan.

Dou Zhao turned his face away.

Through the glass fan, she saw a few little maids making snowmen in the yard.

The cheerful expressions of the little girls made her a little tense and gradually relaxed.

Accompanied by Su Xin, Chen Qushui hurried in.

Dou Zhao was a little surprised, and loudly ordered the maid guarding outside: "Please come in directly with Mr. Chen and Su Xin."

The little maid answered "Yes", and within a few breaths, Chen Qushui and Su Xin opened the curtain and entered.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Su Xin lifted the curtain and went out again, while Chen Qushui bowed to Dou Zhao with a solemn expression.

"What happened?" Dou Zhao's expression also became heavy.

"Master He, no, the He family formally propose marriage to the Dou family!" Chen Qushui took a deep breath and said, "The fifth master and your father have already agreed."

Dou Zhao was shocked, and turned pale with shock: "Did the two families officially exchange Geng Tie? When did this happen? Did Dong Dou get any news?"

"There has not been an official exchange of Geng posts yet." Chen Qushui's face was not relaxed, "This happened two days ago. The He family invited Cai Bi, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, to propose marriage to your father. Although your father did not agree, but for this matter I made a special trip with the sixth master to discuss with the fifth master, and my father agreed to the marriage. Now we can use the post road in the army to send messages under the banner of the fifth master, and the East Mansion doesn't know about it yet."

Dou Zhao endured so much that she didn't slander her father Ying, but she also knew in her heart that her father had nothing wrong with her parents' orders in this matter. According to the matchmaker, He's family is the most prominent, He Yu's looks are outstanding, and he is the youngest son of the family. , it is not surprising that the father agreed to this marriage.

only……

"Wait..." she said, "Master He is my father's room teacher. Logically, He Yu has to call my father senior brother. How could they advance to our family?"

The fifth uncle is trying his best to win over the He family, so it is possible to turn a blind eye and pretend to be deaf and dumb.Father has never had any opinions, and it is possible to be persuaded by the fifth uncle. The He family should not make such a mistake!

"It seems that the fifth son is making a lot of noise at home," Chen Qushui said, looking at Dou Zhao with a strange expression, "Master He and Mrs. He have no choice but to agree."
