In Dou Zhao's memory, Dou Mansion in Huaishu Hutong is a house with four entrances and three ear rooms. The front yard is planted with pomegranates and square bamboos in the back yard, and the grape rack is placed with stone tables and stone piers. The fifth uncle's family lives in a little crowded place, but it still makes people feel warm and warm.

But in this life, she got off the carriage and found that the Dou family's house had expanded more than twice as much as she had imagined.

Dou Shishu not only bought a three-in-three-room house next to his house, but also bought a two-in-three-in-three-in-three-in-one house behind him, opened up three-in-one houses and renovated them, becoming the old house of Douge, Huaishu Hutong. He no longer had the tolerance and caution of the past, and had a little low-key and ostentatiousness.

This may have a lot to do with the fact that the fifth uncle in his previous life was suppressed by Wang Xingyi for a long time, but he entered the cabinet before Wang Xingyi in this life.

Dou Shishu, Dou Shiheng, Dou Shiying and other male members were in front, and the fifth wife Fan and the sixth wife Ji and other female members were in back. Almost all the maids, daughters-in-laws and mother-in-laws in the house were out, surrounded by the Dou family and stood in front of the door early to wait, but there was no Wang Yingxue.

Seeing the second wife, Dou Shishu stepped forward a few steps and knelt in front of the second wife, and his eyes were wet and shouted "Mom".

The second wife suddenly burst into tears and wanted to get up with Dou Shishu.

Dou Shishu insisted on kowtowing three times to the second wife, and his forehead was immediately covered with dust.

Dou Shiheng and others hurriedly kowtowed and bowed to Dou Shishu.

The second wife's eyes were filled with relief and joy.

Dou Zhao, who was walking behind the second wife, saw Dou Ming in the crowd hesitating for a moment, then he knelt down with a thin woman with fair skin and beautiful appearance.

Dou Zhao recognized the woman as Dou Zhengchang's wife Han, and she couldn't help but take a look.

Han and Ji Lingze, who was first his sister-in-law and later his sister-in-law, had a very bad relationship, so that Dou Dechang and his wife had to move to West Street near Yongguang Temple, Xuanbeifang, the outer city of Kyoto.

Feeling Dou Zhao's gaze, Han nodded to Dou Zhao kindly.

Dou Zhao smiled.

Dou Ming, as if he wanted to prove something, hurriedly took Han's arm and glanced coldly.

Dou Zhao pretended not to see it, and his eyes fell on the Guo and Cai next to Han.

Although Guo is as delicate and gentle as she remembers, her skin is white and tender, and her black eyes are as adorable as a deer. Unlike when she saw Guo for the last time, she looked listless and her skin was yellow. She looked like a patient who had been bedridden for a long time, and she felt uncomfortable depression.

Calculate the day, and Bai's family will come in next year.

Dou Zhao sighed in his heart and remembered Ji Lingze.

By taking advantage of the ceremony, Ji Ling had a relationship with Dou Zhao. Dou Zhao used the excuse of the second wife asking the real person from Longhu Mountain to tell fortunes, and he secretly asked the real person to tell fortunes for himself and Ji Han. He said that Ji Ling had a hurdle in the past two years, and after he could walk through it, it would be Duankang Avenue. If he couldn't walk through it, he would be a little suffering in the second half of his life. It would be best to avoid the bustling and hustle and eat vegetarian food for two years.

She and Ji Ling said that these friendships were too indifferent. When she sent the letter, she smiled bitterly and shook her head. Who knew that the Ji family and the Han family had postponed their wedding date soon. After a few days, the news that Mr. Han was seriously ill was heard. Dou Zhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just when she thought that Ji Ling might be in a vacant position, the Ji and the Han family suddenly decided the wedding date soon. Ji Ling married the Han family in the form of a happy wedding. Three months later, Mr. Han Liu died of illness.

When Dou Zhao heard the news, she didn't close her eyes all night, so she wrote a letter to comfort Ji Lingze.

After that, the two often had letters, but Ji Lingze never mentioned her joy. Out of respect, Dou Zhao did not ask her about her situation at that time. Since she came to Kyoto this time, she must have visited Ji Lingze, but she didn't know whether she was living in the Ji family or the Han family now.

She hurriedly stopped thinking, and when the second wife and others finished their relationship, she stepped forward and gave a blessing to her father Dou Shiying.

Dou Shiying hadn't seen Dou Zhao for a long time and seemed very excited. He held Dou Zhao's hand and asked her if she was peaceful along the way. What did she do at home? Aunt Cui's health was in good health... She kept saying it like a lotus root that kept pulling silk, but Dou Shiheng interrupted Dou Shiying with a smile: "The child has just arrived, and I will say something later, but Shou Gu will not run away." But he asked Shou Gu: "Are you tired? Let your sixth aunt make a pot of grapefruit tea for you to get rid of the fire." It made everyone laugh.

Dou Zhao hurriedly saluted Dou Shiran, laughed loudly and called "Sixth Uncle", then took the sixth aunt's arm, shouted "eleventh brother" and "twelfth brother" to Dou Zhengchang and Dou Dechang, like Ji's daughter, a little rude, but even more intimate, making Ji happy, and put on Dou Zhao's shoulder and smiled, "Don't listen to your sixth uncle, come to see your fifth aunt." As he said that, he brought her to the fifth wife.

The fifth wife didn't speak, and she pulled Dou Zhao's hand and smiled: "It's better to meet me than to be famous. Our fourth lady is so beautiful. She deserves to be raised under the ladies of the Grandma." The last sentence was said to the second lady.

The second wife laughed and happily accepted the compliment from her daughter-in-law.

Dou Zhao smiled and bowed his knees.

The fifth wife recruited her two daughters-in-law and grandson, and granddaughter: "Come and meet your fourth sister."

Guo and Cai took their children to meet Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao signaled Su Xin to take out the meeting that had been prepared and rewarded her nieces and nieces.

Seeing that Dou Zhao gave his daughter a little Ruyi bracelet with red gold, Guo felt it was too expensive, and he felt embarrassed to thank him repeatedly. Cai carefully looked at Dou Zhao's jade pendant to his two sons, and then smiled and thanked him.

The Cha family was still as snobbish as in the previous life.

Dou Zhao curled his lips in his heart and stepped forward to salute Dou Shishu.

Dou Shishu smiled slightly and said, "The last time I saw you, you were still a child. You have grown into a big girl in the blink of an eye. It's so time is forbidden!" His tone was quite emotional.

When Dou Zhao saw that Dou Shishu was already a little fat, he had added a few silver threads on his temples, and felt a little sad.

Ji introduced Han to Dou Zhao again.

Han had met her before, and he also knew that Dou Zhao was like Ji's adopted daughter. He treated Dou Zhao like a little sister-in-law, and was respectful and intimate, which made people feel good.

Dou Shiying scolded Dou Ming: "Your sister is here, don't you go up and say hello?"

Dou Zhao thought she would be quarrel or have a cold face, but she never thought that she smiled and saluted Dou Zhao and said, "Who made me the youngest and the lowest seniority? I'm the last one."

Everyone burst into laughter, which made Dou Shiying look a little rough.

Fortunately, Dou Shiying's two daughters have always been very pampered, so they smiled helplessly and taught her a few clichés like "obedient" and so on. Then everyone hugged the second wife to the main room.

Dou Zhao was arranged in the west wing.

Sulan took the little maid to serve Dou Zhao's washing, while Su Xin directed the wives to put on the things that Dou Zhao used to be used by him from Zhending.

The little maid and the rude women who were arranged to serve here by the fifth wife couldn't help but whisper and said, "The fourth lady who really decided to be here is really a big show."

A little maid said, "What's this? I heard that Miss Five has a bigger show. In addition to the usual service, there are seven or eight guards, two mothers who are washed, two daughters-in-laws on the stove, and four maids on needlework... Master Qi is the richest among all the masters."

When a little maid listened, he just settled the score and said, "Miss Four has only brought four guards, four maids, and two rough-fitting women. It is indeed not as good as Miss Five."

Guo, who came in to invite Dou Zhao to dinner, couldn't help but shouted: "What are you talking nonsense here? Why don't you go and help me!"

The little maids scattered in a hurry.

When he heard the news, Su Xin hurriedly came up, saluted respectfully, and called "Grandma Sixth Young Master".

Guo treated others kindly and asked her softly: "Have the fourth sister washed up?"

Su Xin let Guo into the hall and asked her to sit down with a smile. Before she could wait for the tea, Dou Zhao walked out.

Guo quickly stood up and said, "Fourth sister, the second wife has arrived. I'll wait for you to go and the banquet will be started."

Dou Zhao smiled and thanked him, and went to the flower hall where the food was being prepared with Guo.

At this time, Song Mo sat cross-legged on the Zen chair in Yizhitang's study like he closed his eyes and rested, listening to Gu Yu and his manager Qiao An settle the accounts: "... By then, the 50,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Revenue have already arrived, so there is no need to worry about the money. Is it going to be tight to eat alone?"

Joan seemed a little worried.

Gu Yu sneered: "What is this what to eat alone? Compared to Shen Qing, we are far from that. He didn't even want to pay the money to hire his husband, so he asked the wards along the way to help him transport stones. Even the heads of the Ministry of Works had to personally entertain them for drinking wine." Speaking of this, he couldn't help complaining, "Wang Qinghuai was too careful. As I said, what we did was a business without foundation. You are just polite. Without this relationship, people would not treat you as a matter of your own. If you are just rude, they could only endure it..."

Without finishing a word, Song Mo suddenly opened his eyes and said, "How much money does the Wei family have with us?"

Gu Yu was startled, calmed down and said, "It looks like 20,000."

Song Mo said again: "How much money did you give them?"

Gu Yu curled his lips and said, "Zhang Yuanming's wife is very determined. When the first settlement was settled, I returned their principal to her as you told me. Who knew that she returned the principal, saying that it was counted in the share capital... I didn't think much, but I could just give her some from my share, so I didn't mention it to you. The 20,000 taels of silver, including the Wei family's principal of 3,000 taels of silver."

Song Mo nodded and said lightly: "Take all the money off for me. I'll tell you when you give it to him and when will you settle it for them."

Gu Yu opened his mouth wide and said "Good" loudly for a while, with unconcealed joy in his voice.
