Chapter 394 Dragon Boat Festival

The wife who bought Chen Jiaxin was named Yao Er. Both of them were from the south. They were originally from a wealthy family. Later, the wealthy family made a mistake and these wives were implicated and sold. Chen Jia asked the colleagues of the Jinyiwei to help find a few reliable servants. In order to curry favor with him, the Jinyiwei bought this family to respect him. Seeing that the woman was very well-organized and steady in doing things, he asked her to take care of her inner courtyard. Tao Er was on duty at the gate. One of her two sons worked with her father and the other swept the yard in the outer courtyard. However, the youngest daughter followed her mother to be a little maid in the inner courtyard.

It was the first time that the Tao family had been walking around the Duke of England. Before coming, Chen Jia had repeatedly reminded her to let her know the importance of Duke of England to Chen Jia. Along the way, she was uneasy. She was even more upset when she saw the black-painted flat-headed carriage that sent festival gifts in front of Duke of England. Unexpectedly, Chen Jia had such decent attitude in Duke of England. The wife of the Duke of England not only met her in person, but also praised her for the best Feng Hong. Her heart finally fell to the ground.

When I went back, I talked to Chen Jia, and I couldn't help but feel happy.

Chen Jia was also a little surprised.

The Duke of England was not allowed to send you gifts. Without a third-rank official, the gatekeeper wouldn't even look at you. He is now just a fourth-rank official. If he hadn't followed the path of the prince's wife, how could he stand? How could the sent woman meet Mrs. Dou!

He thought that he had to walk closer.

The next day, I brought two tanks of good realgar wine to see Duan Gongyi.

Duan Gongyi's heart is like a mirror.

But there is no Chen Jia or Wang Jia, and more importantly, Chen Jia still has a temper with him. What's the point of worrying about him?

He asked to have prepared some food and drinks to keep Chen Jia at home to drink.

Chen Jia came for this. Naturally, he agreed happily and suggested that Mr. Chen come out and have a drink.

Duan Gongyi waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chen has something to do these two days, so he can't get some time. When you come next time, we will invite Mr. Chen to come and have a few drinks."

Chen Jia hurriedly asked what was going on.

Duan Gongyi smiled and looked at him.

His face turned red and he said, "I rely solely on Mrs. Dou to have what I have today. I have always wanted to repay my wife, but my wife has nothing to do. I just want to give something, but I can't give it to my mind. I just want to give it something, so I wonder if I can contribute to my wife, so I asked this."

Chen Jia said it intentionally, Duan Gongyi listened to it intentionally. After sending Chen Jia away, he immediately went to see Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao was socializing with two young grandmothers from the Lu family who came to send festival gifts. Duan Gongyi waited for half an hour before meeting Dou Zhao.

"Madam, what you asked me to inquire last time. Didn't I find out that Chou Yin and Mao came?" He gave Dou Zhao an idea. "Can you please let Lord Chen Jia and Chen help me inquire? His subordinates are specializing in this, and we can't compare!"

Dou Zhao was always curious about who was asking about the Li family in the first two years after the Li family moved out, and he was a little moved when he heard this. But he still said: "After all, it is an old thing in the mansion, and it is always bad for people to know about it."

Duan Gongyi laughed and said, "I think Chen Jia is very transparent. Let's just find a reason. Even if he knows why, he will pretend to be deaf and dumb."

Dou Zhao thought, "I will discuss this with the prince first."

After all, it is related to Song Yichun's reputation. Someone was exposed that year, and Song Mo, the son, had a gloomy face.

Who knew that Song Mo didn't care that Song Yichun would affect him, and smiled and said, "That Chen Jiaba can't do two things for you. Just leave it to him if you have anything to do!"

Dou Zhao said: "What if he knows too much?"

Song Mo laughed and said, "He relied on me to take office. Even if he didn't know anything, he labeled me as a label. If he wanted to change his course, he wouldn't want to get stuck in the officialdom."

Dou Zhao thought about it, this is true.

Song Mo smiled and shook his head, saying, "You women just like to think about these family matters. How long has it been since I did, and I want to know what happened to the Li family?"

Dou Zhao laughed and said, "Isn't this idle?"

Song Mo thought that Dou Zhao was very energetic when he was in trouble, and when he was in trouble, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

If she finds these things interesting, let her go!

Song Mo told her about his plans during this period: "...The Imperial Hospital must be watched. However, most of the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital are on duty in the Imperial Hospital for generations, so it is not easy to ask for a message. A few days ago, didn't the emperor always yell at the headache? I asked Yan Chaoqing to find ways to talk to several aides who came to Beijing to send festival gifts to the border. At that time, they will definitely recommend famous doctors who are good at treating headaches to the Imperial Hospital. Things will be much easier."

The Imperial Hospital is related to the Emperor's safety, so the strictest management is required.

Dou Zhao reminded him: "You must be careful and don't involve yourself."

"Yes!" Song Mo smiled and shook Dou Zhao's hand, then he called the little maid to come in and change her clothes.

Duan Gongyi went to Chen Jia's house in Yuqiao Hutong.

The two of them were drinking on the kang in the room.

Duan Gongyi complained to Chen Jia: "...I went to Erzhao Hutong several times, but I didn't ask about it. However, I went there a lot and I was recognized. It can be seen that this secret exploration is not something that everyone can do."

Chen Jia heard the spirit and said with a smile: "If there is no taboo in matters, I will send a few people to inquire for you."

"That's good." Duan Gongyi smiled, "You are the prince's person. Even if you have any taboos, it won't do to you."

Chen Jia asked about the story carefully.

Before Duan Gongyi could finish his words, he already knew it in his heart.

Most of the romantic debts left by the British Duke back then. Now the prince and the prince are fighting each other, and we need to mention the old things again.

As long as he finds the people from the Li family, this matter will be completely alive.

Isn't this what he is best at?

But no matter what, this is an old story of the Duke of England after all. If Duan Gongyi could hand over this matter to him, either the prince nodded or Mrs. Dou nodded. But if these two people could point more, it was Duan Gongyi who told him about the matter.

Chen Jia poured wine for Duan Gongyi with a smile, and after drinking, he stuffed a purse to Duan Gongyi, and personally sent him to the gate.

If you ask about the Li family, you will leave it to Chen Jia.

Dou Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and waited for news at home.

As a result, a letter from Huguang said that Zhao Zhangru had a happy pulse.

Dou Zhao was naturally overjoyed. He ate food, medicine, gold, silver ornaments, silk and satin, arranged a whole truck and sent someone to Huguang. She and Song Mo began to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival to enter the palace to congratulate the Empress Dowager, the Queen and others.

In Cining Palace, Dou Zhao met Dou Ming.

She has lost a lot of weight than before she got married, with her chin and big eyes, making her look more charming.

Dou Ming also saw Dou Zhao.

Her eyes suddenly turned into a knife.

Dou Zhao wore a bright red court suit. He walked in from outside with the head of the first-class meritorious family, such as Mrs. Changxing Hou, Mrs. Xingguo Duke, and Mrs. Dongpingbo.

Her young face was particularly slapped among a group of thirty- and forty-year-old women.

As soon as they stepped into the palace gate of Cining Palace, Aunt Miao, the most decent aunt beside the Empress Dowager, came up with a group of palace maids, greeted Dou Zhao and others with a smile, and led them to the Empress Dowager's bedroom with a respectful attitude. Unlike the wives of the second and third-class meritorious families who had long lost their power, they had to stand in front of the screen wall and wait. The Empress Dowager summoned them to meet...

It looks good that Dou Zhao looks squinting and follows the group of wives around the screen wall.

Dou Ming's hands clenched into fists.

Someone complained in her ear: "It's really different from the same fate. Thirty years ago, when I entered the palace with my mother-in-law, I could see the noble people in the palace with just one message. It's not like now, I still have to wait outside..."

Dou Ming only felt his face burning and hot.

Someone whispered: "That young man is the wife of the British Prince, right? I heard that the delivery date with the Crown Princess is a few days before and after? It's really a good life. If you give birth to a child who is on the same day as the Emperor's grandson, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, I'm afraid the Crown Princess will remember it in her heart, that is the real blessing!"

Someone said, "You think the British Duke's Mansion is as shallow as you! The Duke of Shiguo was named a hereditary fourth-rank assistant just a few days after he was born. He started to participate in the Qiuwei before he learned to walk. Who has such decent family in the court? The eldest grandson of their family, even if they were born in the middle of July, still has a bright future. What are you worried about?"

Dou Zhao's due date is mid-June.

The refuted person was displeased and said with some gloating pleasure: "Maybe the eldest grandson of the Duke of England's Mansion will be really waiting until the half-July?"

"What nonsense!" someone shouted, "This is in the palace, be careful of the walls."

What else did the lady want to say? Two palace maids walked around from behind the screen wall.

All the sounds came to an abrupt end.

One of the palace maids smiled and said, "I wonder which one is Mrs. Jining?"

Dou Ming was stunned.

Someone next to her pushed her.

She hurriedly stepped forward to answer.

The palace maid smiled and said, "Our ancestors heard that you are the sister of the Prince of England's Prince, and I want to see you!"

As soon as the palace maid finished speaking, Dou Ming seemed to hear an envious sigh.

Her boxer clenched tighter.

But as a noble man in the palace, she dared not reveal anything.

Dou Ming thanked the two palace maids with a smile and followed them to the empress dowager's bedroom. After bypassing the screen wall, she also stuffed two red envelopes to the two palace maids.

The two palace maids smiled generously and took it away, saying, "Everyone said that Lord Dou gave all his family wealth to his two daughters as dowry. Mrs. Dou was so generous when she entered the palace, but the rumors were true, so we would be welcome."

Dou Ming gritted his teeth in anger.

Dou Zhao was still behaved when he got the cheap one. When did he get half of his father’s property?

Thinking of this, her heart felt like it was covered with oil, and she couldn't breathe.

After kowtowing to the Empress Dowager, she almost leaned back. The Empress Dowager called her in front of her and looked at her carefully for a while. She actually looked up at the Empress and a group of internal and external women around her: "It's still Yantang's wife who looks better, and Jining Hou's wife is too thin!"



Fortunately it wasn't too late!
