Ninefold Purple

Naturally, Dou Zhao didn't know what happened in the Marquis of Jining. The Dou family knew that the two Dou sisters were at odds, so they naturally turned a blind eye to Dou Ming's absence and pretended not to know.Everyone was playing cards and chatting lively.The sky was getting dark, and we stayed in Jing'an Temple Hutong for dinner.

Song Mo couldn't help looking at the sky, came in to say hello to Dou Zhao, left a few guards behind, and got up to leave.

Dou Shiying and others personally sent Song Mo to the gate, the sixth aunt stayed with Dou Zhao, and the others also dispersed.

Han's wet nurse couldn't help complaining: "You are about to give birth in a few days, and your wife has to accompany the fourth aunt. Even if the fourth aunt is the eldest son of the Duke, it doesn't have to be like this!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Han yelled at the wet nurse in a low voice, "The fourth aunt was brought up by her mother-in-law, as if she was born by her mother-in-law. Because of this, the seventh uncle once wanted to adopt the twelfth uncle to the West Go to Dou. If you let me hear such words again, you will go back to Huzhou immediately." [

The wet nurse Nuonuo said "yes".

Han Shi secretly marveled.

The mother-in-law is not confused, no matter how much she loves Dou Zhao, it is impossible to leave her to accompany Dou Zhao at this time.

What happened that she didn't know about?

Mrs. Ji was talking to Dou Zhao anxiously and angrily about Dou Dechang: "...his grandmother suddenly fell ill, and his aunt had to rush back to her hometown to treat her illness. I wanted to take care of Mrs. Han. If he couldn't escape, I would let him escort him When my aunt came back to Yixing, she also went to check on his grandmother’s illness on my behalf. Who knew that after he came back, he became distraught. I was afraid that he would be stimulated by something in Yixing, so I called the servants and maids who used to go with him to ask about it. The servants and maids all asked three questions, but the words they gave me were exactly the same, but the words were reversed. Some said a few words less, or some more words. I became more and more suspicious, and kept my face I sent someone to pay attention to your twelfth brother's movements, only to find that he quietly sent a letter to Yixing every two days. I didn't dare to intercept those letters, so I sent a confidant to rush to the pier in Yixing in advance to guard you The second brother's people..." At this point, she turned pale, and after a long silence, she gritted her teeth and said in a low voice. "Those letters were sent to Ling Ze, but some were sent to Ji Ling."

If he hadn't been a human being in two lifetimes, Dou Zhao would definitely stand on the side of the sixth aunt and try to prevent problems before they happen.

But she knew how affectionate the two of them were in the previous life, so she was asked to do that thing of beating mandarin ducks.She really can't do it.

"Sixth Auntie, calm down." She said softly, "This matter may not be what you imagined! Back then, Cousin Ji wrote me a few letters every once in a while!" After falling, she knew that she had spoken, and when she looked at Mrs. Ji again, she really showed embarrassment.But the words have already been spoken, and the explanation becomes a cover-up, which is even more embarrassing. Dou Zhao had no choice but to pretend that he never knew what Ji Yong was thinking.Continued, "Ling Zeyou's cousin is extremely intelligent, and she is quite accomplished in poetry, qin, calligraphy and painting. Brother Twelve is also a lively and studious person. When you meet someone who can talk, you will naturally have endless things to say..."

Ji put a finger on Dou Zhao's forehead: "You elm bump! If the two of you are innocent. Why didn't Ling Ji accept your letter from your twelfth brother? Why didn't you see your twelfth brother's person?" ? Why did your twelfth brother secretly find another place to stay outside and dare not openly write a letter?" She asked a few "why" in one breath, looking at Dou Zhao with a bit of confusion , "Did your twelfth brother say something to you? You helped your twelfth brother to cover up? Among the sisters, your twelfth brother and you are the closest..." She said with a condensed expression , "Shougu, you have always understood the rules, and Ling Zeyou is the grand aunt of the Han family, not like ordinary cousins. If this news gets out, Ling will never have a foothold, your twelfth brother The reputation is also ruined, and the future is bright!"

Dou Zhao couldn't help calling "Oops".

Just now I was only focused on persuading Aunt Six, but forgot to show surprise.

"Nothing." She quickly argued, "Although I have little experience, I know the seriousness. Brother Twelfth didn't tell me anything, I guessed it myself." Then she turned Ji's eyes and said, " Then you didn't find a way to see what Brother Twelve said to Cousin Ling Zeyou?"

Just in response to the phrase "my own child is good in everything", a shrewd person like the Ji family did not doubt Dou Zhao's rough explanation, and frowned and said, "Since I found out, why didn't I open your letter from Twelfth Brother?" ? But his letter is full of academic matters..."

Dou Zhao hurriedly said: "Then why do you have to worry about it! Look at this, even if Brother Twelfth is thinking, Cousin Ling Ze understands it in her heart. In my opinion, you might as well continue to be stared at. People are separated by thousands of miles, and after a long time, maybe it will fade away. Besides, there is Cousin Ling Ze, she is not without her own opinions."

Thinking about it, Mrs. Ji made sense.He couldn't help but let out a long breath, and his tense heart finally relaxed a bit.

"You don't know what kind of life I've been living these days? If you want to discuss it with your sixth uncle, I let your twelfth brother go to Yixing, and Ling Ze is my own daughter, but if you don't tell others , I’m in a state of anxiety, and there’s no time for me to live in peace...I have to help Brother Twelve make a marriage appointment earlier.”

Dou Zhao didn't dare to talk too much, and asked about Dou Dechang's grandmother's condition, so he changed the conversation.

Fortunately, Ji's heart knot was slightly relieved, and she was quite energetic. Apart from her own son, she still had Dou Zhao's affairs in her heart. She was afraid that Dou Zhao would be wronged by marrying into the British government, so she put Dou Dechang's affairs aside and asked Let's start with Dou Zhao's married life.

Dou Zhao naturally picked up good things to say, and Song Mo did treat her well. Compared with her previous life, this marriage is more promising. [

Hearing this, Mrs. Ji came with a gratified smile, and asked her to go to Kaiyuan Temple to offer incense on the tenth day of October: "There is the ashram of Guanyin Bodhisattva, you go to perform rituals, and ask Bodhisattva to bless you to conceive Lin'er as soon as possible."

Dou Zhao blushed slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's better not to do anything, if you are still pregnant at the end of the year, let's talk about it."

"That's good!" Mrs. Ji thought for a while, and said, "You are now a new daughter-in-law. It is too obvious. Going to Kaiyuan Temple to practice things will easily arouse suspicion from others. I will leave this matter to me."

The corners of Dou Zhao's eyes were slightly wet.

Only a mother would consider everything for her children in this way.

She nodded heavily, not wanting to disappoint the sixth aunt's kindness, and said with a smile: "Then you go and help me ask for a good fortune from Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

"You child!" Ji shook her head with a smile.

The two went to the place where their aunt stayed and talked gossiping most of the night.

the next day.Dou Zhao urged the sixth aunt to go back to Mao'er Alley early: "Sister-in-law Eleven is going to give birth in a few days, and she will be more courageous with you here."

"Our two families live close to each other." Aunt Six laughed, "If she has an attack, the family will naturally report to her."

Before she finished speaking, the messenger from Mao'er Alley arrived.

It turned out that Mrs. Han had an attack when she went back. She was afraid of disturbing her mother-in-law and Dou Zhao's conversation, so she didn't let anyone report it. Fortunately, the family had already prepared.Wen Po and the experienced nanny have been waiting for a long time. Even so, Han is the first child and has not yet been born after giving birth all night. Wen Po and the nanny are both calm and relaxed.Dou Zhengchang was frightened, so he hurriedly sent someone to Jing'an Temple Hutong to invite his mother.

Now, the people in Jing'an Temple Hutong can't live anymore.

My aunt accompanied my sixth aunt to Mao'er Alley and left Zhao Zhangru to Dou Zhao.

The two sisters were restless at home.

"I really shouldn't have kept Aunt Six here," Dou Zhao blamed herself as the delivery was a hell of a thing, "it's not easy to say something when you have something to say." She murmured softly.

Zhao Zhangru turned to the west and prayed with his palms folded: "You must have a smooth delivery. You must have a smooth delivery."

At ten o'clock in the noon, news came from Mao'er Alley that the Han family successfully gave birth to a boy weighing seven catties.

Jing'an Temple Hutong cheered.

Dou Zhao and Zhao Zhangru rushed to visit the Han family.

The child is fat and looks like a member of Dou's family.Dou Zhao couldn't put it down, while Zhao Zhangru was anxiously walking around: "Give me a hug, give me a hug."

Everyone laughed. [

Han Shi, who was leaning on the big welcome pillow with a pale face, couldn't help showing a joyful smile.

Aunt Ji sent someone to report to the people in Huaishu Alley, but Aunt Fifth and the others did not arrive.Song Mo came here with Dou Shiying.

Dou Zhao was taken aback.

Song Mo explained with a smile: "I came here with my father-in-law."

Of course I know that you came here with your father, but the question is how did you come here with your father.

Dou Zhao muttered in his heart.

Dou Shiying smiled.She teasingly said to her daughter: "Yantang, come and drink tea with me."

This guy, you can't restrain yourself!

Dou Zhao glared at Song Mo.

Song Mo pretended not to see it, and said "Congratulations" to Dou Zhengchang.

Dou Zhengchang was so happy that he didn't know the north for a long time, and he saluted in circles, saying "same happiness", "same happiness", which made everyone laugh again.

When Zhao Zhang knew about it, he teased Dou Zhao: "I came here with my father-in-law and everyone."

"Eggs in sugar water can't stop your mouth!" Dou Zhao twisted Zhao Zhangru's face.

Zhao Zhang quickly hid behind the sixth aunt: "Look, look, Aunt Shou bullied me!"

Aunt Six laughed until her eyes became crescent buds, following their fuss, she said: "With me here, she dare not do anything to you?"

Zhao Zhangru hid behind the sixth aunt and made faces at Dou Zhao.

The aunt shook her head resignedly: "A girl of this age, she's fine when she doesn't speak, but when she speaks, it's like a string is missing, what can I do in the future!"

Zhao Zhangru's expression darkened immediately, and soon he raised his smiling face, chatting with Sixth Aunt and Mrs. Han.

Dou Zhao watched and almost shed tears.

When Song Mo came to her to discuss what kind of baptism to give to the newborn child, she couldn't help telling Song Mo about it: "...I'm afraid that all the cuteness in the past was to reassure my aunt!"

Song Mo squeezed her hand and comforted her: "My grandmother used to say that there is a drop of dew on a piece of grass, but she just didn't get the chance."

"I hope so!" Dou Zhao sighed disappointedly.

The sixth uncle named the child "Qijin".

Dou Zhao also simply stayed in Jing'an Temple Hutong for two more days, preparing to attend the three baptisms of Qijin before returning to the British government. (to be continued)
