Dou Jiang thought that Liu Huang would return to the palace, but he did not expect that he would propose to stay in Taiwei's mansion for a few days. This made Dou Jiang both happy and worried. What he was happy about was that this meant that the future emperor would trust Mr. Taiwei.
What worries me is the safety of the women in the mansion.
As mentioned earlier, Liu Hao’s misogyny was almost to the point of outrageous proportions: any woman who touched him would be treated equally—thrown several feet away without saying a word. He had just been here for three days,
Two people were thrown away one after another, one was the newly recognized daughter Dou Yacai, and the other was the little maid Wushuang. Dou Yacai was not injured after being thrown, but knocked down the Sixth Prince, and the little maid was thrown to the ground for ten days.
I couldn't get out of bed for half a month.
In this case, Dou Jiang had to order all the female relatives to keep an unexpected distance of ten feet from the Sixth Prince.
Dou Yacai was taken care of by a maid to take a bath and change clothes. Each of the masters, wives, young masters and ladies of Dou Mansion had a large wooden bathtub behind the wing, which was two or three times larger than the modern bathtub. There was a screen in the middle to connect with the main room of the room.
Because Dou Yacai had a sour smell, the maids picked a basket of flower petals and put them in her bathtub.
The maid kept scooping out the cold water and replacing it with hot water. The natural fragrance of the petals came over her, and it was so pleasant. Dou Yacai took this bath for nearly two hours. If she hadn't been a little dizzy, she still had to take the bath.
After taking a bath, I put on new clothes. The Dou Mansion has its own tailor, and every year the clothes of the people in the house are made by tailors. Because Dou Yacai has just arrived, the tailors have just measured her size, and the clothes are also being rushed.
While making it, Mr. Dou Long brought Dou Biyu's childhood clothes. A light green gauze skirt, which when worn on Dou Yacai was not as elegant as when Dou Biyu wore it, but it was a bit more agile.
"Look, you even have to wear my clothes." When Dou Biyu took out the clothes reluctantly, she said to Dou Yacai lightly and casually. With this sentence, Dou Yacai was stunned.
The food was stepped on.
After getting dressed, the maids brought Dou Yacai to the mirror, and they discussed what kind of hair style should be best for her.
"Let me see some butterfly buns. They match this dress very well."
"No, I think the second lady is thin and weak. It would be better if she wears a bun and lets her hair hang down more."
Dou Yacai was caught in the middle, her eyes moving around on everyone's face.
Finally she pushed away the crowd and stood up.
"Thank you sisters, I'll do it myself." After saying that, Dou Yacai picked up a wooden comb and tied it into a ponytail on the back of her head. She shook her head and looked in the mirror again. The dirty Dou Yacai had completely changed.
Although she doesn't have the pink and cute look of the little princess Dou Xiaosu, her thin face has a soft beauty, coupled with those smart eyes, hehe, it is probably the most wonderful combination of angels and demons.
Dou Xiaosu will use the skin of Dou Yacai to create a new era in ancient times.
After washing up, Dou Yacai decided to take a stroll around the Dou Mansion to get familiar with the new environment.
Perhaps for the sake of safety, Dou Yacai discovered that Dou Mansion only had one courtyard gate. Normally, once the courtyard door was closed, it would be in a completely closed state. The courtyard door opened in the southeast corner and occupied an area of nearly a room.
The allocation of residence in the inner residence of Dou Mansion is very strict. The main house in the inner residence with a superior location is given to Dou Jiang.
Of the three rooms in the north, only the middle one opens to the outside, which is called the main room. The two rooms on both sides only open to the main room, forming suites, forming a pattern of one light and two dark. The main room is used for living, entertaining relatives, or worshiping ancestors during festivals.
There are wing rooms on both sides. The bedrooms on the east and west sides are also divided into senior and junior bedrooms. The east side is the senior bedroom, where the main wife Dou Long lives, and the west side is the humble bedroom, where Dou Jiang's concubines live.
The east and west wing rooms can have single doors or can be connected to the main room. They are generally used as bedrooms or study rooms. The east and west wing rooms are occupied by younger generations. The wing rooms also have one light and two dark rooms. The middle room is a living room and the two sides are bedrooms. It can also be used as a bedroom or a study.
Divide a room on the south side and use it as a kitchen or dining room.
Dou Mansion belongs to the fourth courtyard, and there is also a large garden in which there are all kinds of exotic flowers.
It was in Doufu Garden that Dou Yacai met Liu Hao again.
