Ninefold Purple

After lunch, the ceremony of recognizing relatives is over.

Song Mo personally sent Dou Jichang and others to the gate.

The three aunts and six relatives of the Song family moved to the garden of Dongkuayuan.

Song Dechang Princess and Mrs. Lu, accompanied by Lu Chen's wife and Lu Shi's wife, played leaf cards in the Nuan Pavilion next to the flower hall. Grandma Zhang San's mother Feng Lushi led Lu Han's wife, Lu Qin's wife and the Song family The female relatives of Yunyang Uncle Gu's family and the female relatives of Yunyang Uncle Gu's family were playing horse hanging in the flower hall.As for Lu Chen, Lu Shi and others, they were accompanied by Song Yichun and Song Mo, listening to the play in the garden.Gu Yu pulled Wang Qinghuai, Feng Shao and others to gamble in the mountain house.

Dou Zhao followed Grandma Lu, serving Grand Duke Ningde and Mrs. Lu, while Mrs. Wang sat beside the eldest princess and drank tea.Dou Zhao casually told Mrs. Lu how many hands she had played, and Mrs. Lu couldn't help laughing and said, "I can't tell, Yantang's daughter-in-law is still a master?"

The first and second wives of the Lu family looked at her with a smile on their faces.

Dou Zhao said with a smile: "My natal family has many uncles and brothers. We get together on weekdays and often grow leaf cards. After a long time, I understand more or less."

Mrs. Lu nodded, smiled and asked about Dou Zhao's daily life in her natal family.

If anyone among the relatives who came today cared about Song Mo the most, it would probably be someone from the Lu family.

Dou Zhao didn't hide anything, he picked up some interesting stories about himself in Zhending and told the two old people. For a while, the Nuan Pavilion was full of laughter and laughter, which was very lively.

Feng Lu said with a smile: "I can't tell, Yantang's new daughter-in-law is still very eloquent. As soon as she entered the door, she made my mother and the eldest princess laugh from ear to ear. I see, Yantang's new daughter-in-law I'm afraid like Sister Jiang, she can always please my mother and the princess..." As he said, he glanced at Lu Han's wife, Second Grandma Lu, and Lu Qin's wife, Third Grandma Lu.

She was talking about Sister Jiang.It refers to Song Mo's mother Jiang Huisun.

The two smiled and did not speak.

Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song exchanged glances when they heard the words, and they both made the excuse of going to the toilet, but they talked behind the rockery of Taihu Lake next to the flower hall.

"You were the one who got the Yuan post early this morning," Mrs. Song San shrewdly said, "How about the two of them?"

This was originally a mother-in-law's matter, and Dou Zhao didn't have a mother-in-law, and Song Yichun couldn't bother to ask, so he asked Mrs. Song to help check the yuan post.

"The two shared the same bed yesterday." When Mrs. Song said this, there was a hint of frustration in her tone. "I asked Yizhi's little maid, and they said that Yantang is resting in the new house." Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something, and said, "You are too. It is not good to arrange someone, and arrange Jin'er to test If they make Yantang suspicious, how about making Jiner angry? I think you have to find an opportunity to explain to that Dou family!"

"Why don't I know?" Song San's wife was full of resentment when she heard the words, "But the third master insisted that I arrange Jin'er to test them, and said, if it's a maid. Who has the guts? It would be bad if it was self-defeating. Now it's better , Jin'er was missed by Yantang... If there is something wrong with Jin'er, I will fight with the third master!"

Mrs. Song hastily persuaded: "That's not the case. Although Yantang treats people indifferently, he is not the one who cares about every detail. Just tell Jin'er to stop running around in the future."

Mrs. Song San nodded, and argued embarrassingly: "This is also what Uncle said, that Uncle Er doesn't like Yantang. He wants to cultivate Tianen well... That's why Third Master made up his mind and won't turn back if anyone persuades him!"

It is obvious that the third eldest couple wanted to please the second uncle, but they said that they were instructed by their uncle!

Mrs. Song was very dissatisfied.But she has always remained calm, and this time she just pretended not to hear.

Mrs. Song San said: "I think Mrs. Dou is very generous. She speaks and acts without any shyness or timidity like a bride... There will be another Mrs. Jiang in the family, right?"

"We're not so unlucky, are we?" Mrs. Song hesitated, with a gloomy look in her eyes, "Even so, we are still her elders, unlike when Mrs. Jiang was here..." Looking up, she saw Mrs. Song facing She blinked her eyes, and immediately changed her tone: "... Where did you make this dress? It's so pretty? Look at it, it should be a new style from the south, right?" Before her words fell, Song The third wife said to her with a smile: "Fourth brother and sister, why did you come out?"

It turned out that she was here!

Mrs. Song sneered in her heart, but turned around with a smile and said hello to Mrs. Song Fourth: "Who is the luckiest right now?"

Fourth Mrs. Song curled her lips secretly.

I knew that it was nothing good for these two people to disappear together, so I really hid here and whispered.

"It seems that the second grandma of the Lu family is the luckiest." Fourth Mrs. Song laughed, "I've lost four or five taels of silver in a short time. Come out to take a breath and see if I can change my luck."

"Second Grandma Lu, she is a winner every time we play cards with her. If she wins again this time, she has to treat her..." Mrs. Song said, and the three sisters-in-law entered with laughter. flower hall.

After dinner, relatives in the family left one after another.

Mrs. Lu, Princess Ningde, and Mrs. Wang all warmly invited Dou Zhao to visit their home in a few days. Dou Zhao accepted with a smile, and led them all the way to the Chuihua Gate. Seeing them getting into the carriage, he turned back.

Gu Yu can afford to gamble, even dinner is useless.

Song Mo was worried, and went to the mountain house.

Dou Zhao thought for a while, then went straight to Yizhitang.

Su Xin was a little worried and said: "Aren't you going to greet the Duke?"

"I don't have a mother-in-law, and the eldest son is not here. I won't go to the Duke's place." Dou Zhao said with a smile, "If the Duke wants to set rules for me, he will naturally send his mother-in-law to say it."

I have only heard of mother-in-law setting rules for daughter-in-law, but I have never heard of father-in-law setting rules for daughter-in-law.

Su Xin thought to herself, and went back to the house with Dou Zhao.

Because they are newcomers and don't understand the rules of the British government, Dou Zhao didn't come back, Su Lan and the others didn't dare to move around, they had been sitting in the house for a whole day, seeing Dou Zhao, everyone couldn't help being overjoyed, Su Lan even more He tugged at Dou Zhao's sleeve and said, "Miss, can you assign us something to do?"

Dou Zhao couldn't help laughing.

Knowing that Song Mo was dragged by Gu Yu to gamble, she washed up, changed into a homely dark green jacket, and read on the nanmu bed.

Su Xin hugged the brand-new big red mandarin ducks playing in the silk bed and came in, and spread it on the big kang in the banquet room without a sound.

Dou Zhao couldn't help but pause as he turned the pages of the book.

That set of silk bedding.But her dowry. [

It seems that Su Xin and the others know that they did not have a bridal chamber with Song Mo last night.

She couldn't help but sighed softly.

Song Mo went back to the house.

Dou Zhao got up to help him wash and wash.

Song Mo waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need! Just read your book, I don't usually need people to serve me."

is it?

Dou Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, and listened attentively. After a while, there was the sound of a copper basin falling to the ground in the bathroom.

She got up and went to the bathroom.

Song Mo was twisting his sleeves in embarrassment.

Dou Zhao ordered Su Xin to fetch another basin of water, while he found Song Mo a change of clothes, and walked over without saying a word.

"Come on. Take off the wet clothes." She helped Song Mo untie his clothes, "It's getting colder and colder, be careful if you catch a cold!"

"No need!" Song Mo laughed, "I'll just do it myself!" His tone was calm and calm.With his usual elegance.

Dou Zhao looked up at Song Mo.

Only to find that his ears were red.

She took a step back with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll take out your wet clothes for you."

"No need!" Song Mo laughed, "Just let the servant girl clean it up."

"It's okay." Dou Zhao smiled, "I'll beat her to fetch water for you!"

Song Mo said "oh", under Dou Zhao's gaze, the belt tied with a simple bow could have been loosened with a little effort.But for some reason, it was pulled tighter and tighter by him, and finally tied into a knot.

"Let me help you!" Dou Zhao stepped forward with a smile.

"No need!" Song Mo said with a smile, "It will be ready soon!" But there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

Such Song Mo.Like a child who is brave in front of adults, she finds it very cute.

Dou Zhao endured it, and warned himself not to show any strange original expression.

"Don't move around!" She shouted in a low voice, but her tone was unexpectedly gentle. "Let me help you solve it."

Song Mo was very embarrassed, but the hands that fell on his belt were not only white and delicate.Moreover, he was slender and flexible, and quickly untied his messy belt.

He smiled embarrassedly, not knowing how to put his hands and feet together.

Dou Zhao didn't seem to notice, helped Song Mo take off his clothes, mixed warm water for him to wash.

Song Mo held the handkerchief and murmured "Thank you".

"You're welcome." Dou Zhao walked out with a smile.

Song Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Dou Zhao poked his head in, and said with a smile, "Aren't the two being together to make each other feel more comfortable and happy?"

Song Mo was stunned, and then thoughtful.

Dou Zhao turned and left the bathroom, laughed loudly to the people behind him, "Call me after you take a shower, and I'll wash your hair for you."

The voice was clear and sweet, and for some reason, it reminded Song Mo of the oriole he raised when he was a child.

He couldn't help smiling, and said loudly, "I'm used to washing my hair before taking a bath."

"Alright then!" Dou Zhao walked in with crooked eyebrows, "I'll wash your hair for you."

Song Mo sat on the little twig beside him.

※※※※※

Song Mo came out of the bathroom, Dou Zhaozheng and Su Xin spread the royal blue quilt with lotus flowers on the big kang next to the inner room.

Hearing the movement, Dou Zhao raised his head and said with a smile, "I'm used to having maids on duty at night, why don't you just sleep in the inner room?" Then he said in a teasing tone, "I can't let you wake up in the middle of the night Serve tea and water?"

"Why not?" Song Mo raised his eyebrows, and sat down on the big kang next to him with a smile, "Didn't you say that the two of you live together to make each other feel more comfortable and happy?" The original situation has been restored. Take your time.

Dou Zhao couldn't help smiling.

Song Mo, you adapt so quickly!

This marriage was decided too hastily, not only she, but also he was not ready.

But she moved his bedding from the banquet room to the inner room, and he accepted it calmly. Isn't that a good start? (to be continued)
