Chapter 450: Hundred Days
Jiang Lizhu was alone and was calling a little maid and asked, "Did you see Miss Cousin?"
"I didn't see Miss Cousin." The little maid said hurriedly, "I'll go and help grandma find it."
Dou Zhao laughed and said, "What's wrong? Sister Yan is gone?"
Jiang Lizhu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I've been hiding somewhere again." Then she called the little maid, "You go and do your business!" She turned her head and said to Dou Zhao, "I'll go to Bishuixuan to take a look, maybe I'll go back to Bishuixuan."
There have been guests at home several times. Dou Zhao can see that Jiang Yan is afraid of sex. She smiled and said, "Then I'll have to work hard for my twelve cousin--there are too many guests today, so I don't have time to care about her."
"Don't worry about cousin's wife." Jiang Lizhu smiled, "Just leave it to me."
She bent her knees towards Dou Zhaofufu and went to Bishuixuan.
There was quiet in Bishuixuan, and there were only two little maids who had just left their heads sitting in the room doing needlework and chatting.
"Is Miss Cousin not here?" Jiang Lizhu said in confusion.
The two little maids lost their needle and thread and stood up, saying together: "Miss Cousin is served by Sister Yinghong to have a drink."
Hey! Where did she go?
Jiang Lizhu thought to herself and searched along the path by the lake.
As we were about to reach the Chuanhua Gate, we saw several maids standing under the pomegranate tree in front of the Chuanhua Gate. A man and a woman were standing there talking next to them.
She looked closely and saw that the man was wearing a lilac silk robe, a black silk ribbon, and a jade pendant with sheep's body hanging down. The woman was wearing a pink bead, and the big pearls of the black temples, lotus seeds and rice were bright and shiny, and the beauty of the face was set off as magnolia. Isn't it Chen Jia and Jiang Yan or who?
Jiang Lizhu's heart inexplicably pounded a few times.
After seeing Chen Jia say a few words, Jiang Yan covered his mouth and laughed.
The eyebrows and eyes bloomed like flowers, very cute and cute.
She couldn't help but step forward.
Jiang Yan, who saw Jiang Lizhu, greeted Jiang Lizhu with a smile: "Cousin!" and then explained. "I heard that Lord Chen came to have a drink, so I came to thank him specifically and asked Li Liang about it."
At this time, Chen Jia had already heard the movement and turned around. He smiled and bowed to Jiang Lizhu, calling him "Grandma Wu" without hesitation or humility.
Jiang Lizhu was in a state of confusion. Caocaodi nodded with Chen Jia, took Jiang Yan's hand, and said angrily: "Why are you here? My cousin's wife is looking for you everywhere!"
When Jiang Yan heard this, his eyebrows and eyebrows immediately collapsed. She said to Chen Jia: "I'll trouble you about this!"
Chen Jia spoke in a respectful tone: "You're welcome. If there is news, I'll let Tao Er's wife come and say it to Miss Yinghong."
Jiang Yan nodded, held hands with Jiang Lizhu, and Yinghong and others surrounded him and headed towards the inner courtyard.
Jiang Lizhu then said, "What did you ask Lord Chen again?"
"Didn't I ask Lord Chen to give me some money to Li Liang last time?" Jiang Yan said, "I just wanted to ask Li Liang how he is now. Who knew that Lord Chen asked someone to send it here. When the man sent it back and forth, Lord Chen forgot to ask Li Liang about it. I asked him to ask me about Li Liang's current situation if he met that person."
Is it necessary to cause such trouble?
Jiang Lizhu didn't make any sound.
Jiang Yan wants to go back to Bishuixuan. Jiang Lizhu spent a lot of effort to persuade Jiang Yan to go to Dou Zhao with him.
The female members who came were all listening to the opera in the flower hall. Only Dou Zhao and Mrs. Changxing Hou were talking shoulder to shoulder in the banquet room.
Seeing the two of them coming in, Mrs. Changxing Hou was lucky to be interested and glanced at Jiang Yan with a smile. Stop the topic.
Jiang Lizhu and Jiang Yan quietly stepped forward to salute the two of them.
Dou Zhao asked Jiang Yan softly: "Where did you go just now? I was playing the role of "The Legend of Washing Sha", and the apprentice of Zeng Chusheng. He sang well. You are bored at home doing needlework every day, and you should come out and walk around occasionally."
Jiang Yan was answering "yes", but Jiang Lizhu took over: "When I found her in Bishuixuan, she was doing needlework as my cousin said! If I hadn't pulled her out with a thorn, I'm afraid we'd still look for her now." After that, she said to Jiang Yan again, "I'll just say that if my cousin knew that you were in Bishuixuan, you would definitely let you come out to listen to the opera. I'd be right!"
This is?
Jiang Yan was surprised.
If you say "yes", wouldn't you lie to your sister-in-law? If you say "no", wouldn't you say that your twelfth sister is lying?
She hesitated and didn't know what to do.
Mrs. Changxing Hou next to her smiled and said, "Miss's house, you should have more breathing. If you don't go out all day, even the smart and flexible people will become stupid. Miss Cousin, go and listen to the opera! At this time, you should be singing "Disquation", which is Zeng Chusheng's specialty, and his apprentice should not be too bad."
He seemed to send them away quickly.
Jiang Lizhu thought of the scene when she entered the room just now, and guessed that Mrs. Changxing had something to say to Dou Zhao alone but was interrupted by herself and Jiang Yan.
She smiled and said "yes", and pulled Jiang Yan out of the banquet room.
Dou Zhao shook his head to Mrs. Changxing Hou and said, "You have also seen that we, who are still like children, have remarried again. We are the eldest brother of your parents' family, and I am afraid that she can't afford it!"
"Why is there a saying of 'measurement'!" Mrs. Changxing smiled disapprovingly, "My eldest brother is not my praise. He is famous for being capable in the ten miles away. He can't afford to do anything at home and abroad. But this person also has the disadvantage of a capable person, that is, he is very strong-willed. When my sister-in-law was alive, she quarreled with my eldest brother a lot. Once, my eldest brother was so angry that he took me back to persuade my sister-in-law. So my eldest brother said this time that he re-stretched his strings. Female
Fang Shi’s family or remarriage, and don’t choose whether there is a dowry or not, as long as people are gentle and polite. I just thought about your lady’s kind-heartedness. Besides, my eldest brother is a teenager than your cousin, and your cousin is a beautiful lady. If this happens, the old man and young wife will serve him with so much soup and water. Do you dare to lose your temper? Just wait and see, keep it safe and keep it at the time that my eldest brother will obey in front of your cousin and will not dare to say a word loudly.”
Dou Zhao smiled and said, "My wife would like to let me discuss this matter with our prince."
"Of course." Mrs. Changxing nodded with a smile and went to the flower hall where she watched the show with Dou Zhao.
Everyone listened to the play and heard the mystery. Only a few people noticed that Mrs. Changxing Hou and Dou Zhao were leaving and coming again. When Dou Zhao saw Jiang Yan and Jiang Lizhu sitting at the end of the corridor, the maid served and the slim and eating tea, he couldn't help but smile and listened to the play seriously.
After a while, the banquet was set up.
The nanny who was in charge came to invite everyone to the banquet.
Everyone entered the flower hall with a smile, and sat down with the primary and secondary ranks.
The cold and hot dishes were served like running water.
Feng, the third wife of Duke Jingguo’s Mansion, found an opportunity to ask Dou Zhao in a low voice: “Does Mrs. Changxing want to ask her to marry a cousin for her brothers in her family?”
Dou Zhao's heart moved and nodded slightly.
Feng reminded her: "Mrs. Changxing Hou's eldest brother is smart and capable, and his family is very wealthy, but he is just too capable. Now he wants to donate an official position. Changxing Hou thinks he has too much trouble, so he has left him alone these days, so he is mostly blocked. He wants not to find a way out. Be careful that you will lose your wife and your troops."
Let’s not say that Mrs. Changxing’s eldest brother is twenty years older than Jiang Yan. Just because of this piece that Changxing will be broken into Dou Qijun’s hands in the future. Dou Zhao would never agree to let Jiang Yan marry him.
She smiled and nodded to Feng, expressing her gratitude.
Feng stopped making a sound.
After lunch, everyone moved to the corridor to continue listening to the opera.
Jiang Lizhu quietly moved over and asked Dou Zhao in a low voice: "My cousin, does that Mrs. Changxing want to be a matchmaker for Sister Yan?"
Seeing that she was very concerned, Dou Zhao smiled and joked, "What? Do you have a good candidate?"
Jiang Lizhu smiled embarrassedly, without saying a word. Amidst the cheers, she quietly returned to her and Jiang Yan's position and whispered to Jiang Yan: "Marrying You Father for the first time, marry Youself again. Have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to marry?"
Jiang Yan's expression turned dark, and after a while, he said, "Who would want a woman like me who has lost her morality and chastity? They want to marry me, just because they want my brother's big tree. Is it not too much trouble for my brother and sister-in-law? Is it bad to stay at home and not cause trouble for them? Why do you need to get married!"
If Jiang Lizhu had not been concentrated and guessed, she would probably not be able to hear a word clearly in her high-pitched singing style.
She whispered to Jiang Yan: "If you find someone like Lord Chen, you won't marry me?"
Jiang Yan was stunned, and then laughed clearly: "Do you think I often bother Lord Chen? Lord Chen is different. He has seen him when I was at my worst. The worst is that. I don't need to pretend in front of him."
Jiang Lizhu nodded.
Jiang Yan also wanted to explain her relationship with Chen Jia, but Jiang Lizhu's eyes were about to turn to the stage.
She grabbed Jiang Yan's arm and smiled, "Look, let's sing "Meeting" next."
Jiang Yan had no choice but to swallow the words.
But when she remembered Jiang Lizhu's words, she couldn't help but feel panic, feeling that she would not meet Chen Jia again. If her brother and sister-in-law thought so, Chen Jia would be finished.
She grew up in the market and knew that she had no background and wanted to be like Chen Jia. She didn't know how much she paid. She didn't want to ruin Chen Jia's future because of her own reasons.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but sighed with regret.
After Dou Zhao told Song Mo about the marriage proposal by Mrs. Changxing Hou, Song Mo waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No", saying, "I am too old."
His reaction was expected by Dou Zhao.
Using this as an excuse, she pushed Mrs. Changxing Hou's proposal for marriage.
Mrs. Changxing was so angry that her chest was stuffy. She said to the maid beside her privately: "She thought that cousin in their family was a golden man? She picked it up and picked it up for her. Be careful not to get married in the future!" She felt that her brother had a slutty idea, so she called her brother over and scolded her fiercely.
His younger brother felt very aggrieved and said, "Sister, you have been in the inner house for too long, and things outside are not very good. This woman is Song Yantang's sister. He is now very popular in front of the emperor. After passing the village, there will be no such store. If you don't believe it, you can write a letter to ask my brother-in-law and see what he says!"
Mrs. Changxing Hou was half-believing and half-doubted and wrote a letter to her husband.
Changxing Hou replied to the letter and scolded Mrs. Changxing Hou, saying that she had long hair and short knowledge. Such a good opportunity was not something to seize. You shouldn’t propose marriage to Mrs. Dou by yourself, but you should ask Concubine Shi to propose marriage.
This is all a story later.
On the second day of the 100-day ceremony of Yuan Ge'er, Jiang Lizhu took the initiative to come to the Duke of England to pay homage to Dou Zhao.
