Ninefold Purple

When Dou Zhao stepped into his grandmother's banquet room, Ji Yong's clear voice was reverberating passionately in the air: "...you see, it is said in the Buddhist scriptures, but there are a few people in those Buddhist monasteries that are full of incense. Their minds are all on how to make money, how is this different from secular merchants? You don’t have to donate so much incense money every year, and in the end they will use it without conscience!”

The grandmother sitting on the grand teacher's chair and Honggu standing behind the grandmother stared at Ji Yong with dumbfounded expressions.

"Master Ji!" Dou Zhao hurriedly interrupted Ji Yong, "When did you come back? How is Aunt Six? How are Eleventh Brothers and Twelfth Brothers? Have the two families discussed the wedding date?"

Ji Yong looked at the sun outside, and said in surprise: "What did you go to the state for? Why did you come back so early?"

The answer was irrelevant, but the grandmother and Honggu were relieved, and said loudly as if they had met a savior: "Shougu, are you back? Mr. Ji told us about Buddhism for a day, and his mouth must be dry. Let's have some tea, let's go to see the second lady together? Grandma Liu has come to see you several times today, so she must have been waiting." She actually looked like she was seeing off a guest. [

What is this all about?

Dou Zhao couldn't help looking at Honggu.

Hong Gu quietly pointed to Ji Yong, and said: "Mr. Ji wants to participate in next year's Spring Festival. He thinks that the capital is too noisy and Yixing is too far away. I also heard that the Heshoutang has a rich collection of books, which is only a handful in the whole North Zhili. After counting, I begged the Fifth Master to stay in the Crane Shoutang for a while. The Seventh Master said, I have to ask you about this matter. The second wife is missing Liu Mama, please come over to discuss this matter, Liu Ma Mama came several times but didn't find anyone, Mr. Ji couldn't wait, so he came here first, and has been waiting for you until now..."

So nice to Ji Yong?

Could it be that the fifth uncle decided to win over the Ji family after joining the cabinet?

Ji Yong is full of tricks, if he makes up his mind to live in, the more you stop him.The more interesting he was, the more he tried to move in. How could she have the time and energy to deal with him?Besides, the elders in the family agree.If she disagreed, wouldn't she offend everyone.Might as well just let him move in.

"Swords are for heroes, and red powder is for beauties." Dou Zhao said with a smile, "Since grandfather passed away, the Heshou Hall has been vacant. It is rare for Mr. Ji to use it. Father is the one who decides, why bother with me? I will go now." Go back to Mrs. Er Tai. It will also save her old man from thinking about this all the time."

Ji Yong blinked his eyes and said nothing. After drinking tea, he thanked his grandmother, and he and Dou Zhao, who had changed clothes, walked out of the Chuihuamen side by side.

"I heard that Mr. Chen went to Beijing to visit friends?" He said suddenly before getting into the carriage. "Why didn't you write an envelope to Uncle Seven? The capital is densely populated, and he hasn't been to the capital for a long time. It's always good to have someone to take care of him!"

"Mr. Chen said that it's his personal business, so it's not good to disturb father and uncle." Dou Zhao laughed, "I can't make my own decisions, can I?" Saying that, he got into the carriage.

Ji Yong raised his eyebrows and got into his carriage.

The second wife's wife is not so much going to discuss with Dou Zhao, it is better to tell her: "You grew up with your sixth aunt. You are like a mother and daughter. Mr. Ji is your sixth aunt's natal nephew, that is, your cousin. He is about to start his career, and his family has such conveniences, so it is not unreasonable to inconvenience his relatives. If you sisters find it inconvenient, you might as well move to live with Aunt Cui together."

Since your elders have said so.I have no more objections.

Dou Zhao murmured in his heart, and said with a smile: "Heshou Hall has a corner door that leads directly to the outside, so it's not inconvenient. When will the cousin of the Ji family move in? I can also order someone to clean the Heshou Hall."

Mrs. Er Tai was very satisfied with Dou Zhao's attitude, and she glanced at Ji Yong, meaning to ask him when he would move in.

Ji Yong was dignified and courteous in front of the second wife, as humble as a jade, and pondered: "Why don't I move in today? It also prevents the guest room from being cleaned here. Fortunately, I also brought a few people to clean the room. As for the matter, my cousin will leave it to me."

The second lady nodded with a smile: "That's fine." Then she took Ji Yong's hand and told him: "If you lack anything, just come and tell me."

Ji Yong didn't look sideways, and said respectfully: "Mrs. Tai is serious. I heard from my aunt that my cousin has kept the West Mansion in order. It must be rare to disturb your old man." At the end of the speech, there was already a bit of a smile.

The Second Madam was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and said with a chuckle, "That's because your aunt taught her well."

Ji Yong smiled and said nothing.

The servants in the room all laughed flatteringly.

Dou Zhao also pursed his lips and smiled.

This Ji Yong, on weekdays, has some situations from time to time, which makes people feel a little out of tune, but he is never ambiguous in front of major events.

She felt a sense of gratitude towards Ji Yong in her heart.

Coming out of the second wife's room, she couldn't help him: "Do you have a number?"

"Not yet." Ji Yong smiled nonchalantly, "I'll be the first to tell you when I think it over."

Is this person Master Yuantong?

Dou Zhao was a little distressed, but there was no urgency for such a matter, so he had to put it behind him and greet him: "Why did you suddenly think of participating in next year's Spring Festival? Didn't it mean that the old man deliberately asked you to hone in for a few more years?"

He curled his lips and said: "It is more convenient to find out that you have passed the Jinshi exam."

Dou Zhao laughed haha, and said, "What are you going to do out of the ordinary?"

Ji Yong's eyes flickered slightly.

He knew that she would ask him like this, but he didn't expect that Dou Zhao would ask him with a smile. In his expectation, she should have a face full of sarcasm and look at him with disdain.But I don't know why, thinking of the sound of dress rubbing behind the bead curtain when he accompanied Dou Zhengchang to his uncle's house that day, and the girl's low-pitched laugh, and seeing Dou Zhao's calm and bright smile, his mood suddenly changed. Stretched like a cloud: "Tell me, is it possible that He's Bi became the funeral object of the First Emperor?"

He didn't want to dig the tomb of the first emperor, did he?

Dou Zhao couldn't help being furious: "How can you do this kind of thing? It's a detriment to merit..."

"Why are you so angry?" Ji Yong outdid her reaction, "I just want to study Qin Li carefully. Why do bad people sacrifice and damage merit?"

Dou Zhaoyu.

Ji Yong strode past her, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up higher and higher.

Dou Zhaoli sighed, and Su Xin came to tell her: "Mr. Mei has quietly left the farm."

But that Lu Ming is still staying at Dou's house!

Dou Zhao is silent.Let Su Xin manage the trivial matters of He Shoutang, and do it again and again.He warned Su Xin again and again: "Don't let him demolish the Crane Hall, we also help him move bricks and stones."

Su Xin looked suspicious, obviously doubting her words. [

Dou Zhao sighed deeply.

Why did one or two of the people she met have such duplicity?

She ignores him.But he came to the door.

"Hey, what did your accountant do?" Ji Yong broke into Hua Nuan and asked Dou Zhao who was watering the flowers, "What did he tell you? Do you know the name of his friend?"

Dou Zhao raised his eyes and glanced at him, said coldly "I don't know", then continued to water the flowers with his head down.

Ji Yong frowned.He snatched the kettle from her hand: "I can't find this person."

Dou Zhao was secretly shocked when he heard the words.

Did Ji Yong discover something?

Otherwise, why would he suddenly be so interested in Mr. Chen?

Thinking of Ji Yong's monster-like intelligence, she panicked. In order to cover up her emotions, she pretended to be angry and snatched the kettle from his hand, and asked disapprovingly, "You think Kyoto is your home? You can find anyone you want. Who is it?" My heart was beating wildly.

Ji Yong took the water away from her again.After thinking for a while, he put the kettle out of Dou Zhao's reach, then looked at her seriously and said, "Do you know who that Chen Bo is? Last time I saw that he was very experienced, I sent People checked him carefully. He used to be the staff of Zhang Kai, governor of Fujian Province. When Japanese pirates besieged Fuzhou, Zhang Kai actually abandoned the city and fled. You can't trust such a person who betrays his faith..."

Dou Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

"I know he used to be Zhang Kai's aide." She said sincerely, "Back then, Zhang Kai was very powerful, and it was a matter of life and death. Mr. Chen, a small aide, how could he be able to influence him? Mr. Chen has always I am ashamed of myself because of this, that’s why I settled down in Dongxiang Street where there is a mix of good and evil. We can’t just beat him to death for a momentary mistake, can we?”

"If he really repents, I won't reveal his identity." Ji Yong frowned even more tightly, "The problem is that he said he was going to visit friends in Kyoto in front of you, but he actually disappeared..."

His words made the big stone that weighed on Dou Zhao's heart fall down.

Fortunately, Song Mo is careful in his work.Otherwise, with Ji Yong's character, if he finds something strange about Mr. Chen, he will definitely pursue it curiously... Then it will be troublesome!

She suddenly found that having such a person by her side was also a burden.

Su Lan rushed in with the letter, and when she saw Ji Yong, she couldn't help but restrain her expression, as if she was very afraid of Ji Yong.

What did this guy do again?

Dou Zhao waved at Su Lan: "Whose letter?"

Su Lan hurriedly said, "A letter from Mr. Chen. It's from Kyoto."

Ji Yong was stunned, and reached out to get the letter, but Dou Zhao got the letter one step earlier.

"This is for me!" She secretly warned Ji Yong.

But Ji Yong didn't care, and said carelessly: "Aren't I afraid that you will be deceived?"

Dou Zhao ignored him, went back to the house, asked Su Lan to watch at the door, and then read the letter.

Song Mo has already lifted Chen Qushui's ban, and has relaxed his vigilance towards him. If he has anything to ask the servants around him, the servants will always answer their questions. Unlike before, Chen Qushui discovered that the Jiang family's news network in the capital is actually In the hands of Song Mo, he decided to visit Dou Shiying, Dou Shiheng and others under the pretext of staying in the capital for a few more days to see if he could use Song Mo's people to inquire about the situation of the court before returning.

Isn't this seeking skin from a tiger!

Dou Zhao burned Mr. Chen's letter and watched Su Lan bury the ashes in the flower garden with his own eyes. Then he went back to the house and wrote a letter to Chen Qushui, asking him to come back as soon as possible and not to take risks rashly.

She never dared to underestimate Song Mo.
