Ninefold Purple

The red flames reflected on Dou Zhao's face, and his normally cheerful face looked a little melancholy at this moment.

Dou Shiying poked Yinshuang charcoal with tongs, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? He ran back after me excitedly, and was unhappy. Do you think the family is not fun? Don't blame sister Ming, she is This temper. You should just be with me. "

Because the second wife was there, on New Year's Eve, they had a New Year's Eve dinner in Huaishu Alley, watched the New Year together again, and returned home after hearing the spring bells at Jiujiu 81 Temple in Kyoto.

But Dou Ming yawned and said he was too tired, went back to his room to rest, and left Dou Zhao at the door of Chuihua.

Dou Shiying dragged Dou Zhao to bake sweet potatoes in the study, and euphemistically said, "When you were young, I often roasted sweet potatoes with you in the study." [

I don't know if there is a problem with my memory or his memory.

Dou Zhao muttered secretly in his heart, sighed a long time, and said, "I'm thinking about the marriage between our family and the Wei family..."

Dou Shiying's hand holding the tongs froze, and his expression became a little more solemn, and he said, "What have you heard?"

This incident was widely circulated, and it is impossible for the daughter to be completely ignorant, but if the people in Huaishu Alley told Dou Zhao everything, it would be impossible for the fifth sister-in-law to rule the family strictly.

Dou Zhao looked at Dou Shiying seriously: "I heard that the Wei family is going to retire..."

"Nonsense!" Before she could speak, Dou Shiying yelled with a sullen face, "Who told you? A few days ago, the Wei family invited Madam Ting'anhou to discuss the wedding date, but they didn't pick a good date. , this matter has been dragged down..."

"Why did Daddy lie to me?" Dou Zhao said calmly, "Where did Mrs. Seven go? Even if she is sick, she should be brought back for a reunion dinner. No matter how many people asked, they didn't ask Mrs. Seven? Daddy, don't think that I'm still a seven or eight-year-old ignorant child."

Dou Shiying was dumbfounded.

Dou Zhao took the opportunity and said, "I don't want to marry into the Wei family either!"

Dou Shiying turned pale with shock: "How can that be done! I'm just angry that the Wei family disrespected you, and the Wei family did not make a big mistake. Even if there were some strange thoughts, it was because Mrs. Jing Guogong's son and wife made trouble from it. What does the government have to do with it? The Marquis of Jining came to the house again and again to apologize, don't listen to those women's instigation, the marriage of the two families, even if it is a proud in-law, will be a little unhappy because of things like dowry and gifts, how can you say The principle of divorce if you don’t get married! Don’t think about it, these are dad’s business, you can just marry happily when the time comes. By the way, when you get married, do you like to let eleven or twelve Carry you." Regretted again, "It would be nice if you had a brother."

Dou Zhaocai would not be distracted by Dou Shiying, she laughed and said, "Master Cai gave my sister-in-law a younger brother in her [-]s, it's not too late for you to add a younger brother to me now!" Then she said, "Daddy also Don't change the subject, I really don't want to marry the Wei family."

Dou Shiying became anxious when he heard this.

Dou Zhao hurriedly said: "Dad, please be calm and don't be impatient, listen to me."

Dou Shiying was slightly taken aback.

Dou Zhao has said: "I have thought about my marriage with the Wei family carefully, and I always feel that I have no fate with their family - in the early years, the old Marquis of Jining was still alive, and he treated our family indifferently, and our family did not take this matter into account. It's a matter of fact. Until I was 13 years old, there was no talk about the marriage between the two families. Later, the He family came to propose marriage. Our family didn't want to get involved in the disputes between the He family brothers, so we used the marriage of the Wei family as an excuse , the Wei family provoked affection and reluctantly agreed, but the old Marquis of Jining passed away. After all, Marquis of Jining, besides being obedient, I also guarded for three years. Rumors of resignation, these twists and turns...I remembered what you said before, sometimes you need to have it in your life, and you don't force it. Maybe, even if I marry into the Wei family, life will be very difficult. If so, why force it? It ruined my life! You know, it was the aunt of the Wei family who said this, and the Jining Hou Mansion is looking forward to this aunt!"

Dou Shiying knew that his daughter was telling the truth, but he could withdraw from the marriage... He still hesitated and said: "Although this is the case, people live their lives, and there is no contradiction in who they marry into? The eldest aunt of the Wei family is a little bit uncomfortable. Reliable, but after all, he is a married person. The Marquis of Jining is the only son, and he has already inherited the title. There is no sibling rivalry. Think so."

As a human being in two lifetimes, Dou Zhao certainly wouldn't naively think that just a few words of his own could impress her father and come forward to help her divorce the Wei family. Otherwise, why would she use softness to attack Wei Tingzhen?

In the eyes of his father and elders, Wei Tingyu's incompetence, masculinity, and even the eldest son of a concubine without marriage are not a big mistake. This married wife is respectful or not, so as long as Wei Tingyu shows the sincerity of the prodigal son, dismisses the child prostitute and concubine, comes to the door to apologize with low eyebrows, and gives the Dou family enough face, the marriage will have to be settled.

This is why Dou Zhao is afraid of Ji Yong's intervention. [

Ji Yong values ​​personal feelings, and his strategies are often based on people.This is the art of the emperor, and it is also the art of the courtiers.Because no matter it is the former or the latter, they can turn their hands into clouds and turn their hands into rain, changing the situation immediately, so he can be counted as an omission.

But in this marriage, the woman's feelings have never been an important factor hindering the marriage, so her reaction to Wei Tingyu has no effect.

Dou Zhao secretly shook his head.

Although Ji Yong only spoke one word to Dou Ming, considering Ji Yong's ability and Dou Ming's fear of him, I am afraid that this one sentence is enough to change Dou Ming's attitude.

What on earth does he want Dou Ming to do?

Ji Yong is selfish, and he should think about it from this aspect.

So what is Dou Ming's desire the most?

knock yourself down? !

Dou Zhao was shocked.

Could it be...Ji Yong asked Dou Ming to seduce Wei Tingyu?

She groaned inwardly.

If this is the case, Wei Tingzhen will not be able to bear this scandal. The Dou and Wei families can only work together to suppress this scandal and arrange her marriage with Wei Tingyu as soon as possible...

This bastard never had a moment of silence.

Dou Zhao asked Dou Shiying to make a promise to her: "If Wei Tingzhen doesn't come to apologize in person, you can't agree to marry me anyway. I will marry my daughter with my head up, and my daughter-in-law with my head down. At this time, their Wei family will not bow their heads. If I marry , can you still have a good day?"

As long as her daughter doesn't argue about retiring or something, Dou Shiying can talk about it, let alone Dou Zhao and him want to go together.

He nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "You think Daddy is a child who doesn't understand anything!"

Even if you understand, I am afraid that your understanding is limited, right?

Dou Zhao giggled, ate sweet potatoes with her father, and chatted with him for a while, only when her sleepless father showed a little tiredness, she got up to leave.

Dou Shiying sent her to the gate, told her to pay attention to adding and removing clothes, and told her to come back to play when she had nothing to do.

Dou Zhao's eyes were wet, and he forced a smile and waved goodbye to his father.

The carriage turned to Gulouxia Street.

Chen Qushui got into the carriage. [

Dou Zhao told him his worries.

Chen Qushui was dumbfounded, and said after a long while: "No, can't you? Fifth Miss shouldn't be so confused, right? Once the incident happened, she might be in a dire situation...

"If she could control her temper, she wouldn't be the current Dou Ming." Dou Zhao said, "You must arrange competent people to watch her movements, so as not to cause any unmanageable troubles."

"I see." Chen Qushui nodded solemnly.

Dou Zhao asked him, "How is things going over there?"

Now that she knew that her father could not show up for her, she naturally had other arrangements.

The reason she talked with her father was to make a foreshadowing, so that her father would not be too flustered when things came to an end.

Chen Qushui said with a smile: "It's going very well. The fifth wife should know soon."

Dou Zhao nodded slightly.

Only if the Dou family can't step down, the Dou family may explain their marriage contract to the Wei family in a fit of anger.

When the Wang family and the Hua family were talking about their marriage, she asked Chen Qushui to buy a woman next to Wang Qinghuai to help spread the word.

Sure enough, Wang Qinghuai sent his own people to Weizhou to carefully inquire about the details of the Hua family's eldest son, and found that although the eldest son of the Hua family was clean in appearance, he had a very violent temper, and he often injured and disabled people, even Even his own wet nurse was beaten paralyzed to the bed.

How could he agree to his own sister marrying such a person?

With Wang Qinghuai's influence in the Wang family, this matter will naturally become a scandal.

Dou Zhao then bought a woman next to Mrs. Ting'an Hou, and pretended to be leaking, and complained to the people around Wei Tingzhen, "The one in Wang's family is actually the Marquis of Jining, but it's a pity that he was one step too late. The Marquis of Jining has already made an appointment. Madam chooses left and right, it seems that none of them can compare with Jining Hou."

Reminiscent of the fact that the Wang family just rejected the Hua family, Wei Tingzhen will definitely be moved.

As long as she made a move, Dou Zhao would let people whisper in the fifth wife's ear, saying that the Wei family had discussed with the Wang family a long time ago, and they would marry the Wang family after retiring from the Dou family.

Because the news that the Wei family was going to divorce the Dou family was widely known, the Dou family only heard a few words, and the fifth wife would take it for granted when she heard the rumor that the Wei family was going to marry the Wang family. Everyone knew about it, but they kept it from the Dou family.

After the Dou family suffered such humiliation, would they continue to yell around by themselves?

In this way, no matter whether the marriage between Wei and Wang's family finally came to fruition, it would not do any harm to Wang Qingyuan, and Dou Zhao also achieved his goal of retiring.

It's just that he didn't expect that He Wei's family would invite Madam Hou of Yan'an to help matchmaking.

In the previous life, the Wei family invited the wife of Zhang Jiming, the second master of Duke Jing's mansion.

Or because Dou Shishu entered the cabinet in this life, the identity of the matchmaker has also risen with the tide, right?

Then I have to wrong Mrs. Ting'an Hou. Knowing that Dou and Wei's family are going to get engaged, even if she regrets that her daughter has no fate with Wei Tingyu, she can't say "as long as Wei Dou's family withdraws, marry her daughter." Wei Tingyu's words came...

But Wang Qingyuan doesn't have to marry the eldest son of the Hua family, it's a kind of compensation!

Dou Zhao thought about it, and went back to Huaishu Alley.
