Chapter 80
The senior elders of the clan talked about Hou Mo Chen Chong's widow: "This Mrs. Dou is a big life. She was sent to Qinghai for the family. Both sons were dead. They were taken with her daughter, as if she was dead. She actually survived."
An old man said, "The adult who came to Qinghai not long ago was a filial son. After hearing about Mrs. Dou, he died of two sons, one daughter and one grandson, and no one was taken care of, so he asked the emperor for the imperial edict. The emperor specially pardoned her and returned."
Li Zhan seemed to remember something: "Brother, your daughter and Lord Hou Mo Chen Chong were married. Have you forgotten? Daddy also mentioned it! It was because his fiancée died early that she was rejected by Miss Zhao!"
Li Bing seemed to remember: "Dugu Huashang's legitimate mother Dou is still there, so Dugu Huashang can marry into the Li family using her legitimate mother's surname."
Li Zhan jumped up happily: "Everything is justified. It's a pity that this Dugu concubine has not yet awakened."
Li Bing was very calm: "Anyway, she has been unconscious and has not gone out. She still has a veil when she was chasing. It doesn't matter. From today on, there is no such person as Hua Shang in the world, only Dou Hua Shang."
Li Bing and Li Zhan discussed how to contact Mrs. Dou. Li Zhan said: "It's nothing difficult. We just give her Mrs. Dou's lack of money; if Mrs. Dou has no place to live, we will give her a courtyard house in our family; if Mrs. Dou has no one to serve her, we will send a few people to serve her."
Li Bing said: "Hua Shang is the biological child of Lord Hou Mo after all. She is the only one who lives for Lord Hou Mo's child. Mrs. Dou should help her."
Li Zhan said: "Why did the emperor suddenly let Mrs. Dou come back? He had already driven Hou Mo Chen Chong's daughter out of the royal family, but took Mrs. Dou back?"
Li Bing smiled and said, "He is the emperor who can tolerate the world, so how could he not tolerate a little woman? I think it was because he was angry that several things were pressed together to avoid the fourth prince Dugu Concubine. Close a door and open a window."
Li Bing found Mrs. Dou, the wife of Hou Mo, and told Mrs. Dou about Hua Shang's life experience and the consequences of her having to marry her by chance. Mrs. Dou listened carefully, she burst into tears and smiled with relief.
Mrs. Dou cried bitterly: "I just returned to the capital and don't know anything about it. God blessed me, the master, who still has blood in this world. The people in Houmo's house are not dead. Only our girls can live well, so I have the attitude to go underground to see the master. Li Bing arranged a residence for Mrs. Dou and set up a small ancestral hall at home.
After paying the ceremony, Hua Shang fell asleep when she returned to her room. The atmosphere at the wedding banquet was very tense. Since Li came to Mount Li Hot Spring, Gala's illness has gradually improved and he can sleep well at night. He no longer always coughs. But he is still like a hibernating snake.
When Yang Jian told her this, Gala smiled. This metaphor was very appropriate. After coming to Lishan Hot Spring, she coughed less, ate less, talked less, and slept for a long time.
I had time to be lazy and lie on the rocking chair for the whole day, and I seemed to be unable to control my body. In this situation of extremely poor mental state, Gala did not have the ability to interfere in Hua Shang's affairs.
Hua Shang's situation had already far exceeded the imagination of Gala and the Queen. The doctor gave Hua Shang a lot of medicine and finally woke up. He was just unconscious and didn't answer anything he asked her, and she just came back to her hometown in a daze.
After changing the post, you have to choose an auspicious day to change the post. The two brothers Li Yuan came together. Mrs. Dou looked at the wedding invitation with the dragon and phoenix pattern, and her eyes were a little wet.
Mrs. Dou put down the wedding invitation and said, "Sir, the old woman has nothing to repay for her kindness to the old woman. At first, the old woman didn't know, and even if she knew, she didn't have the ability. But now she lives like life."
Mrs. Dou suddenly remembered something: "Mr. Li, can you see if you can send our girl home? I'm afraid there will be no more days to live. At least I live in my own house for a few days, and this generation is lonely. My adult life is still long, young, and handsome, so there is no need to marry someone who is fast entering the coffin."
Li Yuan had thought about these things, but although he could do anything to get promoted, he thought he was still an upright and good person.
He sent Hua Shang back to his parents' home, but first, he was irresponsible. He brought the person out of his own. Now he has been promoted, so he doesn't care about the other person, which is unreasonable. Secondly, Dou Bai is a sinner, buried in a chasing ridge outside the city, without even a monument.
After all, Hua Shang is a serious royal relative. Although he has been abandoned, he has a noble character. Seeing that his brother didn't say anything, Li Zhan was about to say something, but his brother glared at him and swallowed the words.
Li Yuan said: "Madam, the lady is the Li family member with only one breath, and even if she dies, she is still the Li family's ghost. The Li family will never betray the lady."
The two sides changed the post, and Li Yuan gave Mrs. Dou twenty-four gold ingots to Mrs. Dou with the post, some skirts, jackets, silk and satin clothes, two pairs of bracelets, two pairs of rings, and a set of headdresses.
Mrs. Dou personally held a banquet to entertain Li Yuan. Li Yuan brought back the four treasures of the study, noodle dolls, cake towers, ten noodles pomegranates, and ten packets of bran salt that she wanted to offer.
On the way back, the two brothers were riding in the carriage together. Li Zhan said, "Brother, are you really not considering it? I'm not kidding, let me marry her." Li Yuan looked at Li Zhan in surprise.
Li Zhan said: "Brother, you have just been promoted. It is the time to be proud. You should find a daughter with a good family and a powerful father-in-law. I am just an eighth-rank official, and I have nothing to worry about. You have a bright future, so our Li family has hope!"
Li Yuan had a dark face and didn't say anything. The Li family gave Dou's house another ten gift, prepared 120 gold ingots. They gave Hua Shang eight-piece silk and satin clothes, a pair of rings, a pair of earrings, a set of headdresses, and six pieces of underwear materials of various colors.
The old lady of the Li family was secretly angry: I spent so much money on marrying a living dead man, and in a few days, the person was dying and had to spend a lot of money to hold a funeral, just treating it as money that fell from the sky.
After the gift, the Li family wanted to send a "Zhitie" to the Dou family. Mrs. Dou accepted the "Zhitie" and decided on the day of her marriage.
The night before the marriage, Mrs. Dou sent two people to the Li family's flower garden. The two brothers were waiting in the Li Mansion. Li Zhan said: "Brother, do you really not regret it? Even if you retire the kiss now, it's nothing. At worst, we..."
Li Yuan said: "Dou married into our family and felt wronged. She is the only descendant of the Houmo family, and she is the only descendant of the Chen Chong family." Li Zhan was still insisting: But..."
Li Yuan said: "How precious she is, even if I became the Minister of the Shangshu like my father, I would not be worthy of her. Not to mention that I am just a fourth-rank official now. Besides, I was provoked by the things, and I brought them from the clan mansion. We are getting cheaper, the second child."
At this time, the person who stepped on the flower hall came. One man was holding a porcelain doll, wearing a gauze lamp with the red-happy letter, and the other was carrying a red cloth wooden box. Inside the box was a ready-made garment, a tied belt, a skirt, a pair of embroidered shoes, a set of headdresses, bran salt red envelopes and pomegranates, and a top was the bride's face mirror.
At the third update, people from Dou's house went to the door of Li's house and fired three cannons in a row. Li Yuan opened the door and saluted him. After taking the red box, he welcomed the guests into the bridal chamber, and placed the red box and porcelain dolls on the head of the kang.
Li Yuan opened the box and looked at the mirror. I wonder if it was because he was too tired recently. He actually saw Hua Shang in the mirror. Although Xu was sixteen years old, he still looked like a child. Maybe she would never grow up again.
The guest sprinkled some water between the legs of the porcelain doll, symbolizing that the noble son was peeing. Li Yuan held a banquet to entertain the guests. The guest took the gift money from the flower hall and left the Li Mansion.
On the morning of the wedding, Mrs. Dou sent someone to send a dowry to the man. She had big stand cabinets, help cabinets, top cabinets, boxes, quilts, pillows, clothing, basin towels, jewelry and cosmetics.
The Dou family was not well-off, and Mrs. Dou wanted to spend all the gifts obtained from the Li family on the bride price. She put chopsticks and walnuts in the pillow, put bran bags in the shoes, and sew dates and peanuts in the quilt.
Mrs. Dou was watching the old lady doing it herself. She just thought that the girl had no chance to have a son long ago, and she didn't know if she could last until the wedding. She didn't know when she might be gone. She was happy, sad, laughed, and wiped her tears.
After the dowry, the groom wore a long robe, a short jacket, a top hat, a red flower arrangement, and a carousel to welcome the bride in an official sedan chair. The wedding team accompanied by the groom was divided into two groups, with nearly a hundred people.
There are people carrying sedan chairs in the team. The sedan chairs are prepared for the bride. There are a plate inside, with five pomegranates on them, red chopsticks in the middle, and a pomegranate flower is tied to the chopsticks.
The wedding team went to the door of Dou Mansion's house and fired cannons to report the news. Hua Shang was sent back to Dou Mansion last night, but there was still not much improvement. The doctor forced himself to give him a dose of Mongolian medicine. After waiting for five hours, he finally opened his eyes.
Mrs. Dou's family heard the sound of cannons and welcomed the groom to the table. She first ate "dry-off snacks" and pasta, and then led her to the Dou Mansion's Ancestral Hall to worship her ancestors. Finally, she bowed to Mrs. Dou.
After the ceremony, the groom wanted to eat dumplings. After eating the dumplings, she opened a "main mat". Mrs. Dou was anxious. Hua Shang woke up and refused to call her. She seemed to be unable to hear her talking to her.
Mrs. Dou asked the doctor: "Is it a side effect of the medicine?" The doctor was sweating profusely and kept muttering, "It won't be like this, it won't be like this."
Everyone who dresses up the bride has begun to comb the bride's hair, open the face, clear the eyebrows, apply rouge, powder, etc., and then wears a phoenix crown, a shiny veil and eight embroidered silk skirts, wear red satin embroidered shoes, tie the skirt bells, and pants bells.
Mrs. Dou had never seen Hua Shang several times, but thought that this was Dou Bai's only child living in the world, so she loved her from the bottom of her heart.
At this time, I looked at Hua Shang carefully. Although she still looked like a child, she was born with a pure and beautiful facial features. If such a good child grows like an adult in two or three years, she will definitely be a great beauty. It’s a pity that Mrs. Dou couldn’t hold back her tears.
