Chapter 16 Prayer

　　Wang Yingxue's family rushed to, the Dou family just and Wang family to discuss the matter of Wang Yingxue into the door. 　　Dou Zhao, who felt that there was nothing left for him to do, squatted in the Yu Ji Pavilion in the back garden where he could look out over the entire western sinus and whispered in Touniang's ear, "...... I'm going to go back, and the things that I told you, have you memorized them all?" 　　Tou Niang confused: "Where is the fourth miss going?" 　　"You don't care." Dou Zhao despondently said, "A long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, even if it is a dream, it still comforts a peaceful life. I still have my responsibilities, obligations, and it's already lucky that I can make this trip. You must remember, never leave my mother, never let her do anything stupid. It is better to live than to die!" 　　Touniang nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Fourth Miss, I'll remember. Keep an eye on Grandmother Seven if anything happens, and don't let Grandmother Seven be left alone." 　　Dou Zhao nodded and reached out to touch Touniang's hair, only to realize that the two of them were just squatting side by side, and Touniang was also a shoulder taller than herself. 　　She smiled sardonically and went back to her room to sleep. 　　The golden crow falls, the jade rabbit rises, the stars turn, Dou Zhao opened his eyes, into the eye is still those heavy black lacquer furniture and Chun Cao smiling attentive face. 　　"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Bean-sized beads of sweat broke out on her forehead, grabbed the quilt and covered her head, "I want to sleep, I want to sleep ......" 　　If she fell asleep, she could go back! 　　But how could she not sleep, it was hard to fall asleep, then open her eyes, she was still in the original house, still lying on the original hot bed. 　　Tu Niang asked her, "Fourth Miss, what's wrong with you? Get up quickly and have your evening meal?" 　　"No, no, no!" Dou Zhao looked flustered, "I want to go back. I haven't seen Weiwei'er get married yet, and I haven't arranged Sister Yin'er's marriage ...... I have to go back, I have to go back!" 　　The maids all looked at each other in disbelief, and Vanilla even rushed out with a scream, "Fourth Miss is possessed! Fourth Miss has been struck by evil!" 　　Father and mother were all alarmed, and even grandfather, supported by Aunt Ding, appeared in her house with a grave expression. 　　"Why don't we invite Taoist Master Xu from the Three Clearances to take a look?" Aunt Ding whispered. 　　Just before her words fell, she was met with a stern glare from her grandfather, and was about to reprimand her, when out of the corner of her eye, she saw her daughter-in-law Zhao's eyes light up, and the words came out of her mouth, but she swallowed them down. 　　Dou Shiying knew that his father hated these strange things, saw his father did not squeak, knew that his father had acquiesced, made a wink towards his wife, whispered: "Or, just ask Xu Taoist priest of Sanqing Guan to come and take a look?" 　　Zhao Guqiu hugged her daughter, who looked a bit demented due to her dull gaze, and regretted it. 　　These days, she only focused on quarreling with Dou Shiying, but neglected her daughter's daily life. If her daughter had a long or short ...... life, she didn't even dare to think about it. 　　"It's not too late!" Mother said, "Why don't we send someone now to invite Taoist Master Xu from the Three Ching Guan." 　　Grandfather did not make a scene. 　　Father immediately sent someone to call Gao Sheng in and instructed him. 　　Mother stayed behind to accompany Dou Zhao. 　　Dou Zhao couldn't sleep, and she rubbed her mother's hand over and over again. 　　Warm, soft, delicate, elastic ...... This is not something that can be imagined out of thin air. 　　There is also the sweet flavor of sugar in the mouth, and the crumbs of shortbread falling on the kang! 　　Could it be that she had really gone back in time? 　　Back to when she was a child? 　　What was her past then? 　　What about the pain of childbirth? 　　Dou Zhao was at a loss. 　　Taoist Master Xu caught a fox spirit in the Dou family. 　　Abbot Tu Yin of the Fayuan Temple said that she was haunted by a resentful ghost and would have to do Taoist work for seventy-nine days. 　　Mrs. Falin Fang of the Niangniang Temple said she was cursed by a villain and had to light a long light for ninety-nine to eighty-one days in order to eliminate the disaster and reduce the hardship. 　　Mother and Aunt Ding even went behind Grandfather and Father's back and invited a great god of Peng Xiannu to come to the house and tossed a lot, Dou Zhao's illness is gradually getting better. 　　Everyone in the family was relieved. 　　Mother left the trifles at home, all day and night to guard her, but also afraid of her loneliness, set aside four and her age and her little maid to play with her, but also called the goldsmith in the home to her jewelry, invited the tailor in the home to do clothes. Dou Zhao's house was more lively than the New Year. 　　Dou Zhao enjoyed such indulgent pampering for the first time, and her tears were about to fall. 　　Her mother took her in her arms and gently patted her on the back: "Shougou good, where are you uncomfortable? Is it because you want Vanilla to play with you?" 　　Since Dou Zhao's house had one accident after another, in addition to Tuo Niang, who took care of Dou Zhao day and night because she didn't mind that Dou Zhao was possessed, all the other people changed, including Vanilla, who had just been allocated to her side. 　　Dou Zhao shook his head. 　　Mother thought about it, poured a box of pearls on the hot bed: "Is it good? How about making a pearl shirt for our Aunt Shou?" 　　The rounded pearls spun around on the kang, flowing with light. 　　Dou Zhao held them up and scattered them, the pearls dripping like rain. 　　She had been a Marquis' wife for fifteen years, but she had never been this extravagant. 　　Mother smiled. 　　She carried her to the Fayuan Temple to return the wish. 　　Abbot Tuyin of Fayuan Temple saw her eyes shining and persuaded her mother to donate funds to Fayuan Temple to print one thousand copies of the Dharma Flower Sutra for her recovery: "This is also a blessing for the Fourth Miss!" 　　Mother agreed without hesitation, saying, "Then let's print two thousand copies!" 　　Abbot Tu Yin couldn't hide the joy between his brows, folded his hands towards his mother, and asked her to go to the side of the meditation room to choose a piece of enlightened dharma weapon. 　　Mother carried Dou Zhao forward. 　　Dou Zhao chose a back hidden white silk agate pendant. 　　Mother was very happy, accompanied by Tuyin Fangtai to watch the Fayuan Temple has just broken ground shortly after the wild goose pagoda, and said: "If all by my donations, can let the Bodhisattva shelter Shougou from now on peace and tranquility, blessed with good fortune and health?" 　　"Yes, yes, yes!" Abbot Tuyin smiled a toothless smile, "Why not? This Wild Goose Pagoda was originally designed to pray for the blessings of those who have accumulated good deeds like Grandmother Seven." 　　Mother was welcomed by Abbot Tu Yin to the compartment to drink tea and discuss how to build the Wild Goose Pagoda. 　　Dou Zhao stood under the hipped corridor, looking at the splendid Sakyamuni enshrined in the Great Hall of Treasure with its open door, and an inexplicable excitement welled up in her heart. 　　She stomped into the Maharishi's Treasure Hall and gingerly knelt on the cattail. 　　"Bodhisattva, if this is just a yellow dream, I beg you, let me never wake up in my dream!" She reverently crouched on the ground, "If this is a past life and a present life, I beg you, to let me peacefully support my mother until the year of my heavenly vacation!" 　　The Bodhisattva smiled as he looked down on all beings, peaceful, still, loving and compassionate. 　　※※※※※ 　　Back at home, the maid Yu Zan came in and reported, "The grandmother of the Nanwa Wang family has come over to visit the Fourth Miss!" 　　Dou Zhao, who was being held by her mother, froze as she listened. 　　The grandmother of the Nanwa Wang family meant Wang Ying Xue's sister-in-law, right? 　　Speaking of which, she was no stranger to Wang Ying Xue's two sisters-in-law, Gao and Pang. 　　Gao's father, Gao Yuanzheng, was good at calligraphy and had been a colleague with Wang Xingyi, and later served in the Hanlin Academy with his father, Dou Shiyin, and his sixth uncle, Dou Shihang. Gao's family schooling, not only good handwriting, and the Four Books and Five Classics have dabbled in, in her husband Wang Zhihuang accompanied his father Wang Xingyi exiled Xining Wei ten years, she presided over the feeds, mother-in-law, but also told her eldest son Wang Nan reading and enlightenment. At the age of fifteen, Wang Nan became a scholar, at the age of nineteen he became a lifer, and at the age of twenty-one he became a jinshi (scholar). When the women of the official family talked about the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family, they all said "virtuous and virtuous" with their thumbs up. 　　Pang's maiden name is Yulou, originally the daughter of a merchant in the town, was born beautiful and outstanding, embroidery, housekeeping and accounting, all outstanding. Pang's father could not afford to marry off his daughter, but when he saw that Wang Zhi Piao was over 20 years old and had not yet married, he admired Wang Xing Yi's purity and envied Wang's family of scholars, so he took the initiative of marrying the Wangs with a dowry of 500 taels of silver. 　　Pang Yulou previously looked down on the handsome but mute Wang Zhi Piao, and then Wang Xingyi recovery, she settled down and Wang Zhi Piao life, the Wang Zhi Piao coaxed round and round, so that he dared not go east to go west, the words of the father and elder brother all ranked in the Pang Yulou after. 　　Once upon a time, Dou Zhao is thanks to her blessing, know the intention of Wang Yingxue, in order to put the younger brother Dou Xiao's marriage to stir up the yellow. 　　Counting the days, this time Pang should have married Wang Zhi Piao. 　　I just don't know if it's Gao or Pang who's here this time. 　　Dou Zhao suddenly misses Pang a little. 　　If it was her that came, with her greed, maybe she could make a good show for Wang Ying Xue? 　　Dou Zhao pursed her lips and smiled, then saw Yu Zhan leading the dignified and skillful Gao in. 　　She felt uninterested. 　　Gao had already bent her knees to give Zhao Guqiu a blessed salute: "Seventh grandmother, is fourth young miss feeling better?" 　　She looked toward Dou Zhao with concern. 　　Dou Zhao lowered her eyes. 　　Mother faintly said, "Thanks to Great Grandmother Wang's concern, Aunt Shou is already better." Then she ordered the maid to bring Gao an embroidered pier over. 　　Gao thanked her, sat straight on the embroidery pier, and softly said, "I've been out for a few days, and it's almost New Year's Eve, so I'm either old or young at home, and my younger siblings have just entered, so there's a whole lot of things waiting for me. I am thinking of going back in a couple of days. I'm still saying the same thing about Yingxue: since our family doesn't need a dowry, your family doesn't need to prepare a bride price. Grandma has set a date, when the time comes, let us know, although it is a long way, we as brothers and sisters-in-law will come to see her off anyway. At that time, I also ask grandma to prepare two more tables of banquet." 　　Some words were spoken forcefully and brightly. 　　Dou Zhao was stunned. 　　Gao was both virtuous and virtuous, so how could she be so righteous in the matter of Wang Yingxue? 　　Mother smiled slightly, did not comment, only said "then I will not send the Wang family grandma", perfunctory color is clearly revealed. 　　Gao's face changed slightly, her breasts rose and fell, only after a long time did she calm down, if she was referring to it, she said: "Seventh grandmother, why should a woman make things difficult for a woman! My sister-in-law I understand, never that do not know manners and shameful people. If you have a hateful heart, may as well find Dou Wan to ask, my sister-in-law, is also forced to do." Finished, turned away with a gloomy face. 　　Mother saw no one else in the room, immediately returned to her nature, she was furious: "What does she mean? Could it be that Wang Ying Xue is still the cause of Dou Wan?" 　　Dou Zhao let out a "puff" and almost laughed out loud. 　　You understand, what do you understand? 　　If you understand, fifteen years later, why didn't you agree to let Dou Ming be your daughter-in-law? 　　If it wasn't for Dou Ming's sudden lack of marriage, how could Wang Yingxue have hit Wei Tingyu? 　　I don't know what Wang Yingxue said in front of Mrs. Gao. Surprisingly, she was able to make Gao justifiably intervene on her behalf. 　　Dou Zhao thought of that younger brother Dou Xiao who was five years younger than herself and two years younger than Dou Ming. 　　It was evident that he didn't know this stepmother well enough! 　　The corner of Dou Zhao's mouth was slightly skewed. 　　Once upon a time, she knew nothing and was able to make Wang Ying Xue gray, now that she knows what will happen in the future and has her wits about her, is she still afraid of her? 　　Thinking about all this, Dou Zhao's heart heated up.
