Ninefold Purple

Wei Tingzhen got the news that Chen Qushui and Honggu visited Mao'er Hutong and Huaishu Hutong in Jing'an Temple within a day, and his heart sank.

"According to what you said, Chen Qushui and that Honggu are still living in the shop?" She asked Jin Nanny, "And when they visited Jing'an Temple Alley, Master Dou didn't even invite them to have lunch?"

"Yeah!" Nanny Jin nodded, "Not only that, they didn't even see Mrs. Seven

"How could this be?" Wei Tingzhen frowned tightly.

Nanny Jin, who had been scolded mercilessly by Dou Zhao, felt a little gloating in her heart, and naturally hoped that the more unlucky Dou Zhao would be, the better.She rolled her eyes slightly, and said to Wei Tingzhen in a low voice: "However, when they came out of Douge's hometown, they brought a few boxes of snacks, as if they were sending beggars away."

Wei Tingzhen's face became even uglier.

After thinking about it, she went to the Jining Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Tian was dumbfounded when she heard this, apparently she did not expect Dou Zhao to be in such a difficult situation in Dou's house, and after a while he murmured, "Then what can I do? It's just eating with extra chopsticks, and it's just me raising an extra daughter. "

Wei Tingzhen was not convinced, and said: "Mother, have you ever thought about it? Mrs. Wang is a stepmother, and she hates the daughter born to the previous lady. I begged one family to ask two families, but every family is perfunctory. This is not simply not to please the stepmother. Maybe there is something wrong with Dou Zhao's character. Our family Ting Yu is very handsome. , good conduct. Father and mother have invited a husband to enlighten him at home since he was a child, and told him the principles of life. When he was a little older, he was afraid that he would get mixed up with those dudes, so he asked a master to teach him how to shoot arrows. I don’t know. How much effort has been spent. Among the honorable families all over the capital, how many people are like our Ting Yu? Which famous lady is not worthy? Why should he be wronged like this? He grew up in our hands! "

When Tian heard this, she began to cry: "Then what do you think we should do? No wonder you can still withdraw? If you want to blame, you can blame me! If I didn't go to visit Mrs. Zhao, this marriage would not have happened. ……I originally thought that Xi Dou’s population is thin, and Dou Zhao is the eldest daughter, so no matter what, Dou Wanwan would not neglect her. Who knew it would become like this?”

Wei Tingyu's heart skipped a beat.

She sat beside her mother, took out the handkerchief and handed it to her mother, and said in a low voice: "Mother, why don't we call off this marriage?"

Mrs. Tian felt as if struck by lightning, and waved her hands again and again: "No, no! Ting Yu kept the system and Dou Zhao waited for him for three years. Besides, this marriage was taken from the He family in the first place, so it is a retreat... ...I can't justify it? Besides, Dou Zhao didn't do anything wrong..."

"Mother, listen to me." Wei Tingzhen grabbed her mother's hand with a firm expression, which made Tian calm down and listened to her daughter. Song Mo, the elder son of the mansion, he killed so many people, no one knows what happened to their family, but the father and son still have to be affectionate when they go out, and if someone asks Song Mo about the murder, the Song family still wants to He insisted that those guards were thieves. Even if the emperor asked him, he didn't show his tone for a long time, and obediently fooled the matter. Ting Yu will get rid of the service in two or three months. Isn't he with Gu Yu, Are Song Mo and the others doing business? At that time, in front of Dou’s family, they will only say that they are busy with this matter and postpone the wedding. Dou Zhao is so unpopular at home, there must be someone who doesn’t like her marrying high It’s hard for others to say, then Mrs. Wang..." She said, raising her eyebrows. "We just need to find a way to talk to Mrs. Wang. I promise Mrs. Wang to be a friend, and Mrs. Wang is supported by a concubine. How can you not be indifferent. At that time, it will not be easy for Mrs. Wang to find Dou Zhao's fault. Mother, as long as you have the heart, there is nothing you can't do!"

"But in this way, wouldn't it harm Dou Zhao?" Tian struggled and said, "She is no longer welcome at home, if she divorces, there is no way to survive..."

"Mother, you are wrong." Wei Tingzhen said softly, "Dou Zhao's fifth uncle is the elder of the pavilion. I don't know how many scholars want to marry the Dou family. The children of the aristocratic families are not good, so are those from poor families? Is it? Maybe she divorced our family, and she finds a well-matched family, and her life will be better!"

Tian still couldn't bear it.

Wei Tingzhen got angry: "Mother, why did I marry into the Zhang family? If you let your younger brother marry that Dou Zhao, then what would happen to me?" I couldn't help sobbing because of my grievances, "Our family has no family background. My brother has Song Mo's support, and he is about to make a lot of money. Which family's famous lady can't get married? I'm already like this. If my brother I don't have a good marriage yet, so what's the point of my life? What hope do I have in this day?" After speaking, he covered his face and began to cry in a muffled voice.

Tian's heart was said to be sad, and she also cried while holding Wei Tingzhen.

For a time, Tian's inner room became a swamp of water.

※※※※※

When Wang Yingxue received Wei Tingzhen's famous post, she was very surprised, and said to Madam Hu: "Don't she know that Gao Sheng's daughter-in-law is in charge of the middle school of the Dou family?" Irony.

Nanny Hu scooped up a washed plum and handed it to Wang Yingxue, and said with a smile, "Miss Si is getting married, in front of your in-laws, you can't say that you don't care about things now, can you?"

Wang Yingxue sneered, threw the post on the kang, and said, "Now that you know I want to save face for them, what did you do?" Turning around, she said "No" to the maid who came to report. [

However, Mother Hu winked at the maid, and then persuaded Wang Yingxue: "Miss Si will definitely get married in the alley of Jing'an Temple. At that time, Mrs. Fifth and Mrs. Six will come to help. This is your chance. Why should you bet with Miss Si?" This tone? Fifth Miss is also thirteen this year, and has reached the age of marriage..."

If the members of the Dou family wanted to suppress her and spread the news about these family matters, who would marry Dou Ming from those big and clean families?

Wang Yingxue's eyes turned red, and tears rolled down her face: "Dou Shiying's heart is too cruel! Dou Zhao is his daughter, so isn't Sister Ming his own? If I hadn't been fooled by him back then, how could I have done that? It ended up like this." Then she complained about her natal sister-in-law, Gao Shi, "When my father was in trouble, I treated her so well. Brother Nan was so sick that he had only one breath left. If it weren't for me, he would have died a long time ago. Now she The days are getting better, my natal elder brother has become a big official in the frontier, and he turns around and doesn't recognize anyone. I just want her to help find a good marriage for sister Ming among Gao's nephews, but she keeps getting in the way , as if I was afraid that I would fall for Brother Nan, I hastily helped Brother Nan order Gao Mingzhu, her niece from her natal family..."

Madam Hu was silent.

Since Wang Yingxue was deprived of her rights as a housewife, the Wang family and Wang Yingxue gradually became estranged, so she would say it every few days.

Either complaining about Gao, or criticizing Pang, or talking about how Dou Shiying tricked her into becoming a concubine

How can there be a little bit of the neatness and refreshingness of the cotton business back then, like a typical rich man?

Thinking of this, Hu Momo herself was startled.

She couldn't help but carefully looked at Wang Yingxue.

With a withered face and disconsolate expression, she complained endlessly, no matter whether anyone was listening or not, Wang Yingxue was talking to herself.

Mother Hu was about to fall, and she couldn't help interrupting Wang Yingxue: "Seventh wife, you are a smart person, you were able to open up the situation in such a difficult situation in the past, and you will definitely get through this time."

Wang Yingxue was startled when she heard this, her divine gaze gradually brightened, the corners of her mouth twitched, and just as she was about to say something, a little maid came in: "Mrs. Seven, Master Seven is here."

"Ah!" She couldn't help but exchanged glances with Nanny Hu.

Dou Shiying has strode in.

"I heard that the aunt of the Marquis of Jining is coming to visit you." He was dressed in court clothes with a hasty expression, obviously he just got a letter and rushed back from the yamen. "She is my aunt. I have already ordered Gao Sheng to treat you well. She, you have to cheer up when the time comes, and make her feel at home!"

Wang Yingxue looked at Dou Shiying, who still treats her with a gentle expression and modesty like jade, with all kinds of feelings in her heart.

Originally, she thought it was Dou Shiying's gentle and considerate treatment of her, but now, she realized that it was just her way of doing things.

He is like this to everyone.

If you stab her with a soft knife, she thinks it won't hurt, but it can torture you so much that you just want to finish it in one go.

Wang Yingxue really wanted to pick up the teacup at hand and splash the full cup of tea on Dou Shiying's face, but she thought of Dou Ming, and of Dou Ming's marriage, so she clenched her hands tightly into fists, but finally loosened a little bit. open.

"I see." She heard herself answering Dou Shiying's words in a docile tone, "I definitely won't spoil Miss Fourth's face."

Dou Shiying nodded in satisfaction, and not long after leaving, Gao Sheng's wife sent a box over. [

Wang Yingxue opened the box.

Jewelry, full room shine.

"Master Seven said that my wife wants to see guests, so let our family go to Yubaoxuan to buy these jewelry." Gao Sheng's daughter-in-law's face is like a full moon, and she smiles with a bit of joy. The couple are smart people, Although he was in charge of all the big and small things in Jing'an Temple Hutong, he treated Wang Yingxue with the same respect as before, so Wang Yingxue could not find a single fault.

She smiled, bowed her knees, and stepped back.

Wang Yingxue closed the box with a snap.

"What is this? My reward for helping Dou Zhao save face?"

Her face was livid.

Madam Hu secretly sighed in her heart.

Song Mo, who was talking to Yan Chaoqing and Liao Bifeng in the study of Yizhitang in the British government, took the note from Chen He, with a slightly stunned expression, and said, "When did Chen Qushui arrive in the capital? What did he do in the capital?"

Chen He lowered his eyebrows and said in a respectful voice: "I heard that Miss Si came here for Miss Si's marriage. She needs to take inventory of Miss Si's pen and ink shop. Where to get married, I have to discuss with Master Seven, and Master Fifth and Master Six must also go to inform. One sound...it seems to be quite busy."

With Liao Bifeng present, he subconsciously omitted Dou Zhao's last name.
