Ninefold Purple

Fan Wenshu, the shopkeeper of Dou Zhao's pen and ink shop, has a premonition that his fortune is about to turn.

Back then he had already become the second shopkeeper of Jifen Pavilion, no one would praise him for having a bright future.Unexpectedly, the third master of the Dou family assigned him to help the fourth miss of the Dou family manage a small pen and ink shop.

Knowing that Master Dou San valued him, it would be a pity for him not to say "Congratulations" at the same time. I don't know, but I thought he had committed something, so that he either showed a gloating expression, or He hesitated to speak, which made him very depressed for several years.

But now, the fourth lady of the Dou family is married to the eldest son of the British government, and his back is completely straightened up.

That's the British government! [

The House of Hairpin Tassels, a century-old holy family!

What he manages is the property of the British Crown Prince's wife!

If he works hard, he might be able to become the steward of the British government when the fourth lady of the Dou family gives birth to a son-in-law!

Thinking of this, Fan Wenshu's heart became hot, and he paid more attention to the affairs of the shop. These days, he has even been thinking about whether to talk to Dou Zhao and find a way to sell the shop next door. Add some exquisite and small four treasures of the study, and even put them in various boxes, and make them into gift boxes for gift giving.

So when he suddenly heard that Chen Qushui's carriage was parked outside the shop, he was shocked and rushed out to greet him.

He didn't see Cui Shisan and Tian Fugui.

Fan Wenshu couldn't help muttering a few words in his heart.

After all, they are under the same roof, what business Cui Shisan and Tian Fugui are doing, and who instigated it. Although he has never said anything to others, he knows it very well in his heart.These are not legitimate businesses, he dismisses them.He pretended not to know, but knew in his heart that Cui Shisan and Tian Fugui were Dou Zhao's confidantes.But he didn't want to be excluded because of this, so he was always very attentive to Chen Qushui.

After several days of running back and forth between the capital and Zhending, the elderly Chen Qushui was very tired. He let Fan Wenshu help him into the house: "Everything at home is almost arranged, but there are still some things that Miss Fourth needs to take care of." I am afraid that they will not convey the message clearly, so I decided to come here in person.”

I'm afraid things are not that simple, right?

Fan Wenshu muttered in his heart.

But when he was young, he determined to be a qualified shopkeeper.He decided long ago not to join forces with Cui Shisan, and said with a smile, "It's just to make you work hard", and he didn't ask about anything else, and settled down with Chen Qushui.He returned to his small room-like account room.

Chen Qushui freshened up, leaned on the large kang next to him to read, and waited for Yan Chaoqing, but watched him. A burst of tiredness hit him, and he fell asleep in a daze until the servant called him: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen , Mr. Yan is here!" He was startled and woke up.

The house was pitch black.

He couldn't help asking: "What time is it now?"

The boy replied, "Youzheng has just passed two quarters of an hour."

Chen Qushui let out an "oh" and sighed.Get up and straighten your clothes.

After all, he is old, and he fell asleep at this moment. It seems that he is probably going to retire in the capital.

However, there is Dou Zhao.It's not a bad thing to have a bunch of old friends.Maybe you can also see the double-sided life of Dou Zhao's child's birth worry. [

He smiled and walked out of the inner room.

Yan Chaoqing came alone.Wearing a blue muslin robe and a black safety scarf, at first glance, he looks like a gentleman sitting in a restaurant of a wealthy family, with a very simple appearance, as if he doesn't want to attract attention.

Chen Qushui felt a "thump" in his heart.

The more this is the case, the more it shows that what Yan Chaoqing said is very serious.

He greeted Yan Chaoqing with a calm smile, went to the study with Yan Chaoqing, sat down with the host and guest, waited for the servant to serve tea, and ordered the servant to watch outside: "Don't let anyone disturb me talking to Mr. Yan. Then he took a sip of tea from the teacup and said, "You called me here in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

Yan Chaoqing looked around vigilantly, and listened carefully, but found no unusual noises, hesitated for a while, leaned over to Chen Qushui's ear, and said a few words in a low voice.

Chen Qushui gasped suddenly, his eyes widened like copper bells, and he said urgently, "Is this really true?"

"Can I still lie to you?" Yan Chaoqing said, showing a wry smile, "If you don't believe me, you can ask the sisters of the Bie family next to Madam."

"How did this happen?" Chen Qushui rubbed his hands and asked Yan Chaoqing, "What happened to those Chaohe Hongs?"

Yan Chaoqing said in embarrassment: "The prince asked me to help with some tricks."

"Why are you so confused!" Chen Qushui stood up involuntarily, "Can this kind of thing be manipulated? Now you know how powerful it is? Since the wedding night can be played together, who will question the relationship between them in the future?" what?" He was spinning around the room anxiously.

If Dou Zhao can't give birth to an heir in one or two years, wouldn't he be pointed at by others?

The most important thing now is to find out whether it is Dou Zhao's intention or Song Mo's intention.

If it's what Dou Zhao meant, then that's fine.If it's what Song Mo meant... Chen Qushui's eyes flashed a cold light.

How could Yan Chaoqing not know.

But at this moment, he felt that he was more wronged than that Dou E.

"My lord goes to Zhending to see my wife every now and then," he couldn't help muttering, "Before we got married, I also secretly visited my wife in Huaishu Alley. When my lord told me, I thought my lord and my wife... …I broke out in a cold sweat, so I didn’t have time to think about it. Later, when there was no movement between the two, I thought my wife was pregnant, and I was thinking about what excuses I could find to fool her... Then I figured out that the day was wrong, and my wife’s diet was not good either. What's unusual...Since we were together before, and now we're married, and now we're doing our own thing, I realized something was wrong, so I had to invite you to discuss this matter..."

Chen Qushui was furious: "Your family doesn't obey the rules! How dare you rely on our lady for climbing the wall in the middle of the night! Your family's family has never had anyone in the house, maybe he can't do it, so I thought of this embarrassment." My idea, now our young lady is not a human being inside and out..."

Yan Chaoqing's face was livid: "What do you mean by that? Our family's son is alive and well. A few days ago, he invited the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain to check his pulse. He said that not only the internal injury has healed, but also the internal kung fu has improved. He also jokingly said that when Ding Guogong asked the son to practice this set of internal skills, it may be that the drunkard's intention was not to drink, but to let the son have more children for the Song family... Don't talk nonsense here Gossip, ruin the reputation of the son! Could this be your lady's idea? I have been wondering, with your lady's shrewdness and ability, how can Wang's housewife To be able to make sisters easy to marry..."

It's not forced!

If it weren't for your family.We have already returned to Zhending.

I don't know how happy and happy, why bother with the messy things of your British government! [

When these words reached Chen Qushui's mouth, they were swallowed by Chen Qushui again. Such mutual accusations were just like those women in the market.

Before Yan Chaoqing's words fell, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.

He stopped busy.

for a while.There was silence in the study.

"Then what should we do now?" After a while, Chen Qushui and Yan Chaoqing asked each other in unison.

Yan Chaoqing said: "I would like to ask Mr. Chen to ask Shi Ziye that you belong to Madam after all. It is better for you to ask this kind of question!" He still didn't say a word. In terms of face, most of them just forget about being unhappy, and the lethality is relatively small.

Chen Qushui was not fooled.I thought to myself, if this matter is really the young lady's idea, am I not helping the evildoers?But in front of Yan Chaoqing, no matter what, he would not reveal the slightest word.

"Both of them are still young. There is no serious elder to point out. There are some things that you and I need to take more care of." He said leisurely, "However, Shizi has his own opinions. When to see Shizi, see What should I say to my son, but I need to think long-term. You can't let me just go in front of my son? How did I know about this? Tell me about this, does your wife know? With my master's meticulousness , I'm afraid the first thing to consider is these, we'd better be more cautious..."

You want to wait until you see your wife first, right?

It can be seen that my guess about the easy marriage of sisters is unreasonable.

In any case, we have to find a way to let the Fourth Miss of the Dou family share the same room with the Shizi and give birth to an heir.

Between this husband and wife, only when they have children can they live steadily.

"Why don't you have to discuss Mr. Chen?" Yan Chaoqing said with a smile, "If I care about it, I will be chaotic. I have never considered these things. No wonder there are three cobblers who are as good as Zhuge Liang..."

It's not that you haven't thought that you want to act in the name of our young lady!

Chen Qushui and Yan Chaoqing chattered, thinking about their own thoughts.

But Dou Zhao and Song Mo, who were missed by the two of them, were sitting on the large kang next to them at this time, discussing about tomorrow's banquet.

"...Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. I think the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet will be held in Yizhitang." Dou Zhao said, "It's also in case the father-in-law has shallow eyes and thinks that there is no garden in the British government. It's over." She said, with a look of arrogance on her brows, "Let's just take this opportunity to gain the reputation of Yizhitang!"

Angered by his father's neglect of Dou Zhao, Song Mo managed to suppress the anger in his heart. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "What good idea do you have?"

Dou Zhao said with a smile: "We might as well engrave the seal of Yizhitang. In the future, whenever we invite relatives and friends to our home, we will use the seal of 'Yizhitang' on the invitation to distinguish it from the British government. Of course, our banquet must also be unique, so that it will be hard for people to forget after coming." This is actually an idea in her previous life, but she has never been able to fulfill her wish. Now that she mentions it again, the more she talks about it, the more interested she is, " For example, we planted water radishes and cucumbers in our small garden. When we gave them to relatives and friends, we pasted paper with the seal of "Yizhitang" on the outside of the bamboo basket. The bachelors presented it to the empress dowager or empress, and printed the seal of "Yizhitang" on the flower pot... In a word, it is to let people think of "Yizhitang" when they mention "Yizhitang". If there is none, even if it belongs to someone else’s family, it can’t compare to Yizhitang’s delicacy, elegance, and luxury..."
