Ninefold Purple

Dou Zhao only came out after feeding Brother Yuan, but she never dreamed that the Empress Dowager would play cards with Concubine Shi early in the morning, and she would be left to fill in the corner. Feet, people can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Hearing that the Empress Dowager asked her to continue wiping cards in the afternoon, she glanced at the Crown Princess.

The princess immediately realized Dou Zhao's embarrassment.

She pondered for a while, then asked with a smile: "Madam, the British Crown Prince, have the family affairs been arranged?"

Dou Zhao hurriedly said: "I am breastfeeding the baby myself, but I also have wet nurses at home... I'll let someone explain to them so that they can take care of the baby." [

The empress dowager let out a "huh" when she heard the words, and said in surprise, "You breastfeed the child yourself? Be careful that you lose your body."

Dou Zhao said with a smile: "You know the family affairs best. The son of the world values ​​children very much, and others are not at ease."

The Empress Dowager laughed twice when she heard it, and raised her hand to let Dou Zhao go back: "Well, let's take care of the child. When he is older, bring him into the palace and show me. I remember that he is only younger than Brother Chong. One day is coming."

Dou Zhaogong thanked her, seeing that the Crown Princess had no intention of leaving, she retreated alone.

The crown princess bowed her knees to salute the empress dowager: "The imperial grandmother is truly a bodhisattva."

The Empress Dowager falsely nodded to the Crown Princess, and said with a sneer, "Your mouth will make me happy." Then she said, "I'm giving you grace, what's the matter with the Bodhisattva?"

"Yes, yes, it's Man Zun's full text!" The crown princess smiled and stepped forward to squeeze the empress dowager's shoulders, "The granddaughter-in-law knows it all, so she stayed to thank the emperor's grandmother!"

The empress dowager laughed.The look in the eyes of the princess is very kind.

After leaving the palace, Dou Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and told Gan Lu, "Go back quickly!"

Ganlu thought something was wrong, her face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly gave orders.

Dou Zhao was embarrassed.Had no choice but to let Ganlu continue to misunderstand, and hurried back to the alley of Jing'an Temple.

Brother Yuan was crying.

He was used to his mother's smell and refused to drink the nurse's milk.

Dou Zhao hurriedly took the child over.

The child began to gobble up milk.

Dou Zhao trembled with distress.

From this point of view, the child was not weaned.She'd better not go anywhere.

Only then did she realize the importance of a wet nurse. [

But seeing the peaceful and contented expression of the child while breastfeeding, Dou Zhao's heart immediately turned into a puddle of water, feeling that no amount of inconvenience and trouble would make her happy.

She touched the child's black and shiny hair, and thought of the princess who rescued her.

Such a delicate and translucent woman died unexpectedly in the end. Does this count as a confidante's fate?

She thought of the third emperor's grandson, who was only a day older than Brother Yuan, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

When Song Mo came over, she couldn't help asking him: "What kind of person is the prince?"

Song Mo smiled and said, "What? You were wronged by the Crown Princess?"

"What!" Dou Zhao said, casting a sidelong glance at him. "Have I been wronged in the palace? Don't you know? I'm going to the East Palace. The servants in the East Palace served me a glass of water."

Those who nurse children are taboo about tea.

Song Mo laughed haha, leaned over and kissed the sleeping Brother Yuan, and said with a smile, "He was taught by the great scholars. Naturally, he follows the principles of Confucianism. There is nothing to worry about."

Or did the prince of the previous life fail in response to the saying "a gentleman deceives him with his prescription"?

This thought flashed through Dou Zhao's mind.

She asked about Song Mo's return to the mansion: "Mother's dowry. What does the Duke say?"

"Of course I won't pay it back." Song Mo sneered, "He said he wanted to go to Dali Temple to file a lawsuit with me. But when I proposed to exchange three farms worth 7000 taels of silver for the property under Song Han's name, he immediately I changed my mind and asked me to add three more shops, so I gave back my mother’s dowry. It must be that Song Han is getting married, and he wants Song Han to be more beautiful. I didn’t bother to argue with him, so I agreed. Let Liao Bifeng go After buying three shops on the street, I will go to Shuntian Mansion to complete the contract in two days."

"That's fine." Dou Zhao said, "Anyway, it's just a few taels of silver, and you should treat it as a reward to others, so as not to get angry with them and hurt your body in vain."

Song Mo nodded.

The property has been distributed to Song Han. He is worried that Song Han will jump over the wall in a hurry and dismantle and sell the things left by the Jiang family. It will be even more troublesome if he wants to restore it. It is better to get Jiang's property for the time being. Besides.

As for the pavement for Song Han's farm, the harvest depends on who is taking care of it. It is worth 1 taels of silver now, but it may not be worth 1 taels of silver in the future.

Dou Zhao talked about what was decided tomorrow: "... Is it appropriate for me not to participate?"

"What's inappropriate?" Song Mo smiled, "Don't let others be in a hurry? Besides, I will go when the time comes, and they won't have time to worry about you."

Dou Zhao was puzzled.

Song Mo said with a smile: "I'll make a fool of myself first, you'll know when the time comes."

Presumably there will be another bad move to toss Song Yichun. [

Dou Zhao pursed his lips and smiled.

Song Mo was distressed that she was not feeling well today, and said softly: "The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet on August [-], shall I call you sick?"

Dou Zhao hesitated.

They are fighting with Song Yichun, the support from the palace is very important.

Song Mo said: "It's okay, I'll take care of it!"

Dou Zhao believed in Song Mo and didn't ask any more questions.

Early the next morning, Song Mo went to Yuanping County and entered a teahouse not far from Miao's house.

Yan Chaoqing, Xia Lian and the others had long been waiting in the lobby of the teahouse, and the owner of the teahouse was holding a teapot and serving them attentively like a waiter in a shop.

Seeing Song Mo coming in, Yan Chaoqing and the others stood up immediately, and said, "Master, the private room has been cleaned up, lean on it, once you open it, you can see the pedestrians on the street..."

Song Mo nodded at him with a smile, and went up to the private room on the second floor.

The owner of the restaurant rushed over to serve, but was stopped by Wu Yi: "Our master likes to be quiet, if something happens, he will call you."

The owner of the teahouse retreated in a daze.

The sun is gradually rising, and there are more and more pedestrians on the street. Through the fan made of Korean paper, the noisy voices of people outside can be faintly heard.Wu Yi walked in quickly.

"Grandpa, people are here."

Song Mo nodded, handed the scroll in his hand to Wu Yi, and said, "Ask the boss how much it costs. Take it back and show it to Madam."

It was a travel journal for people's entertainment in the private room of the teahouse. Song Mo just opened it and looked at it when he was idle, and found it quite interesting.So I decided to go back.

Wu Yi smiled and stuffed the scroll into his arms, and accompanied Song Mo downstairs.

The Miao family invited Xie Wan, the county magistrate of Wanping County, and Ma Hao, the county magistrate, to be matchmakers. The British government came to make a small appointment, so naturally the two parents and officials were indispensable.

Ma Hao arrived early in the morning, but Xie Wan relied on his identity and saw that the auspicious time was approaching, but he had not yet appeared.

Miao's father sent Miao Anping, Miao Ansu's elder brother, to ask Xie Wan.

When Miao Anping thought that Xie Wan, who was sitting in the sedan chair, had accepted a matchmaker gift of 300 taels of silver from their family before agreeing to be a matchmaker for his sister, he couldn't be happier.

The marriage has only just begun, and the Miao family has already spent 1000 taels of silver.

go on like this.I'm afraid this wedding can't be held without 3000 taels of silver.

They only prepared 2000 taels of silver.Who can fill the hole of the other 1000 taels of silver?

Miao Anping was very worried.Walking can not help but be a little absent-minded.

He collided head-on with someone who came out of the nearby restaurant.

With an "ouch", he fell to the ground and waited for Nianfang.

The other party did nothing, and didn't even look at him.If it matters, go straight ahead.

This is Wanping County, who doesn't know their Miao family!

What's more, the county lord is by his side.

Miao Anping got up and grabbed the man's sleeve: "You bumped into someone and you're going to leave like this? You don't even pay for a gift? Are you too unreasonable?"

Because people from the British government are coming to make a decision today.He wore a newly made cocoon silk Taoist robe, which cost him nearly four taels of silver, and it was completely ruined.

But before he touched the man's sleeve, someone rushed out and grabbed his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Where did you come from, you dare to stretch out your claws without seeing who our master is? If you don't believe me, just ask someone to remove your dog's paw, and the headhunters in Shuntian Mansion will say that we did it well!"

Miao Anping took a closer look, and found that the person who grabbed his hand was only fifteen or six years old, with good looks, and although he was dressed as a servant, his clothes were made of fine Gebu cloth produced in Guangdong, which cost six taels of silver a piece, very Wealthy and decent.

He knew that he had met a servant of a wealthy family.

Wanping is very close to the capital, and most meritorious families buy properties in Wanping, and such people often come and go.

He couldn't help cheering up, and said in a loud voice: "Kill people to pay for their lives, and debts to pay back money. You bumped into me and didn't even have an apology. You just wanted to leave like this. How can there be such a reason! Don't say anything else, Pay me for the clothes on my body first. Six taels of silver, hurry up and pay! Otherwise, we will meet in Shuntian Mansion! Our in-laws are British princes, so don’t say that I bully you..."

Hearing this, the person in front stopped and glanced back at Miao Anping.

Miao Anping shuddered.

He had never seen such a delicate and graceful young man, standing there casually, he felt like a tree facing the wind.

Miao Anping felt a little weak immediately.

The young man said: "Are you from the Wanping Miao family?"

Before Miao Anping could answer, Xie Wan, who was looking out with the curtain of the sedan chair lifted, had already jumped off the sedan chair: "Master Song, Lord Song! Your subordinate is Xie Wan, the county magistrate of Wanping County, who was entrusted by the Miao family." , to act as a matchmaker for the marriage between my younger brother and Miss Miao's sixth, and you are planning to go to the Miao's house to discuss the marriage?"

Because it is a marriage gifted by the emperor, everything is kept simple.After making a small order today, we will discuss the dowry and the wedding date.

Song Mo sneered and walked away.

Miao Anping and Xie Wan froze there.

Wu Yi hurriedly chased after him.

The guards also hurried past them.

Xie Wan came back to his senses, pulled one of the guards, and said in a low voice, "Brother, what's going on here?" While speaking, he stuffed a red envelope over.

The guard glanced at his companions who were drifting away, and said in a low voice: "For the sake of the second master's affairs, I will tell you that you are going to the British government. It was made a decision, but in order to save face for the second master, the Duke of the State wanted to exchange the 5000 taels of land under the name of the second master for the 7000 taels of farmland under the name of the son, and three shops worth 3000 taels... The master was furious , not going to Miao's house..."
