Chapter 222: Not Yet
Chapter 222 is not enough
British Gong Song Yichun suddenly visited Jing'an Temple Hutong, which made Chen Qushui, who had been paying attention to Huaishu Hutong, also feel a little unusual.
This is the matter of Jing'an Temple Hutong, and Dou Zhao should know better than him.
He came to see Dou Zhao in a hurry.
Dou Zhao went to Gulou Street with his aunt and cousin to buy things.
By the time he arrived at Gulou Street, Dou Zhao and the others had already returned to the alley of Jing'an Temple.
Chen Qushui rushed to the alley of Jing'an Temple again.
Entering the door, he met Gao Sheng.
Gao Sheng greeted him with a smile on his face: "What a coincidence that Mr. Chen came, the fourth lady just came back and is talking to the master!" What's the matter, there's an urgent matter in the shop? β
"It's not an emergency." Chen Qushui perfunctory to him, "There are some cases to sell and buy, some are not sure, I want to ask the fourth lady to give me an idea." β
Gao Sheng said enthusiastically: "Do you want me to help?" β
Compared with the life of the Dou family, Dou Zhao's small pen and ink shop is not worth mentioning at all.
"I'll find out until I've asked Miss." Chen Qushui prevaricated him.
Gao Sheng didn't doubt it, nodded with a smile, personally welcomed him to the account room and sat down, and instructed the little servant: "After the master and the fourth lady finish talking, you will immediately help Mr. Chen to talk." The unusual diligence made Chen Qushui's heart beat the drum. finally waited until Dou Zhao and Dou Shiying finished speaking, and it was time for dinner.
Dou Zhao met Chen Qushui in the flower hall.
Chen Qushui told Dou Zhao about Song Yichun's visit to Dou Shiying, and said, "Miss, do you know why the British Duke came to see the Seventh Master?" β
Their relationship with Song Mo has never seen the light of day, if it is known to the British public, no one can predict what will happen!
Dou Zhao was stunned: "What did you say?" The British Duke came to visit my father? β
Chen Qushui nodded: "I have already checked, it seems to be a bridge built by Xu Zhiji, a colleague of the Seventh Master of the British Mansion in the Hanlin Academy, but the specific reason, the time is urgent, and I haven't found it yet." β
Thin beads of sweat appeared on Dou Zhao's forehead.
The British Duke and the Father are two people who have nothing to do with each other.
The world is so big, he is nameless and silent, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the British public to notice him.
If there is a connection between them, it is Song Mo.
If the British Duke knew that it was he who asked Song Mo at the beginning, he had a way to deal with himself, and he would never come to visit Jing'an Temple Hutong with a polite appearance.
In other words, the British public ten** did not know what the connection between himself and Song Mo was.
So why did he visit his father?
Song Mo's eyes were as quiet as the night sky in Dou Zhao's mind.
That day, he knew that Dou Mingming was married to Wei Tingyu, and impulsively said to her, "Dou Zhao, I will marry you."
She took it as a teenager's excitement.
And didn't take it to heart.
And it was calculated that he could not convince the British Duke to agree to marry him.
Therefore, she firmly told him, "If you can get married, it will naturally be fate."
Could it be that the British public came to the door to help Song Mo propose?
Dou Zhao thought about the previous thing about her building Princess Song Moshang.
After the sister was easy to marry, his father's greatest hope was to find someone no worse than Wei Tingyu to marry, but how did Song Mo get Song Yichun to agree to marry him?
She thought of the fact that he had built Princess Song Moshang before.
Even if he intended to reveal the news to Song Yichun, how could he quietly let himself appear in Song Yichun's sight? How did Song Yichun feel that she was a desirable daughter-in-law?
Song Mo once again showed his toughness.
Dou Zhao took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead.
She instructed Su Xin: "Quick, find a way to find out what is the matter of the British duke coming to see my father?" β
Su Xin answered.
Chen Qushui was also charred like ants on a hot pan.
Dou Zhao has always been careful, so he put his main energy on Huaishu Hutong, who knew that this time Dou Zhao didn't know anything!
He is not Dou Zhao, and it is impossible for Dou Zhao to tell Chen Qushui all the conversations between himself and Song Mo, Chen Qushui did not think about Dou Zhao's marriage at this time, but muttered there: "I know that the pottery is to ask Xu Zhiji for help, and later Xu Zhiji led him to see the Seventh Master, and I only regarded it as an ordinary introduction, although I sent someone to pay attention, but I didn't check it carefully." He regretted, "If I had known this, I should have sued Miss SΓΉ earlier." β
Dou Zhao was more anxious than him, but he still comforted Chen Qushui: "Things have happened, it's useless to be anxious." It is imperative to find out the intentions of the British duke! β
"I don't know," Chen Qushui smiled bitterly, "It's just that it's a matter of importance, and I can't calm down." And because it was getting late, he couldn't stay for a long time, so he had to leave the Jing'an Temple Hutong with a full stomach.
Until the end of the day, Su Xin turned back with a face full of shame.
"Miss," she said uneasily, "I found nothing...... When the British Duke and the Lord were talking, the servants in the room were all sent, and it was the tea that Mr. Gao personally helped pour...... Manager Gao's tone is very tight, even if it is Gao Sheng's family, he is also confused, and he can't know if he asks three questions. β
Dou Zhao frowned and said, "It's impossible that there is nothing unusual at all." If you think about it, there's something out of the ordinary. For example, what did Mr. Gao do after the British public left? After the pottery saw his father again, who did his father invite to question? Or where did you go? β
"I remember!" Her reminder made Su Xin's eyes glance, "After the pottery came back and saw the Seventh Master, the Seventh Master once went out with Manager Gao, and it was the car driven by Manager Gao himself, as for where he went, no one knows." And a few days ago, didn't the seventh master ask Mr. Gao to put away all the things in the house that were labeled with big red happy characters or dressed in red and green? When I went to look for Mr. Gao just now, I found that Mr. Gao was instructing the little guy to count the lanterns, curtains, incense and candles......"
Dou Zhao's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he knew that he had guessed seven or nine.
She didn't wait for Su Xin's words to finish, and said eagerly: "You go to Mr. Chen, first, let Mr. Chen help find out where my father and Gao Sheng went at that time?" The second is to ask him to find a way to bring a letter to Song Yantang, saying that I have something important to see him! β
After all, the two families have not been officially hired, I hope this qiΔ is in time!
Su Lan solemnly responded "yes" and found an excuse to go to the pen and ink shop on the street below the Drum Tower.
Dou Zhao didn't fall asleep all night.
The next day, she had no intention of going out.
My aunt thought she was tired, so she only told her to rest, but Zhao Zhangru laughed at her and didn't think she was as good as herself, and accompanied her to gossip in the house.
Dou Zhao didn't respond until the afternoon, when Chen Qushui came.
His face was very unsightly.
"A few days ago, Mr. Gao drove the seventh master to the summer palace, and it is said that he went to meet the same department who was on an errand in the pedestrian department." Chen Qushui said solemnly, "Shizi, I have asked Mr. Yan to help deliver a letter, Mr. Yan said that the emperor will move the forbidden palace in the next two days, and the prince will definitely be very busy, but if the prince gets the letter, he will definitely find a way to see Miss, so that Miss can rest easy." β
How could it be so coincidental?
Dou Zhao felt that the sweat on his forehead seemed to be more.
Could it be that my father went to see Song Mo?
She thought in amazement.
If my father really went to see Song Mo...... Isn't this a shot in the foot?
Dou Zhao regretted it.
At the beginning, he should have made it clear and clearly told Song Mo that he didn't want to marry, and he shouldn't be vague and ambiguous.
Chen Qushui frowned, and always felt that Yan Chaoqing's smile of "don't be impatient" was quite meaningful, as if something was going to happen, but Yan Chaoqing was hiding it from himself.
He couldn't help but groan: "Two days ago, the old lady of the Ji family sent a post to the seventh master, asking the seventh master to go to Yuqiao Hutong to drink, but the seventh master went to Wanming Temple in the southern suburbs outside the city, so that everyone could look for it for a while. You see, if the seventh master avoids the Ji family, will it have anything to do with the British duke? β
She doesn't know what happened to her life?
First there was Wu Shan, then He Yu and Ji Yong, and now Song Mo is also here to intervene!
In his previous life, he couldn't find someone who loved him!
Dou Zhao sighed, and was thinking about how to tell Chen Qushui about his guess, when there was a sudden noise of gongs and drums outside.
My aunt and cousin came together.
Both of them couldn't help but look overjoyed, especially Zhao Zhangru, regardless of Chen Qushui's presence, took Dou Zhao's hand with a smile, and said, "Shougu's jade Ruyi is really joyful." β
There was a bit of ridicule in his tone.
Dou Zhao was stunned.
My aunt scolded my cousin with a smile, and said kindly: "Don't listen to your cousin's nonsense, she is jealous of you." β
Dou Zhao's heart suddenly swelled with a bad feeling.
She couldn't help but look at Chen Qushui.
Chen Qushui also happened to look at her.
The eyes of the two met together, and they both looked deeply worried in each other's eyes.
My aunt had already stepped forward with a smile and took Dou Zhao's hand: "Aunt Shou, congratulations, the British Duke personally came to the door to propose marriage to his eldest son, Song Yantang, the son of the British Mansion, and your father went to see it in person, and the boy's character and appearance are very outstanding, and he has agreed." The British government has come to hire! β
"What did you say?" Dou Zhao gasped.
Chen Qushui opened his mouth and looked at Dou Zhao blankly, not coming back to his senses for a long time.

Before the fifth wife's sedan chair reached Jing'an Temple, she heard a crackling sound of firecrackers in front of her, and the drums rang out in unison after moving, shaking the sky.
She couldn't help but smile and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and asked the mother-in-law who was with the sedan chair: "Whose family is doing happy things?" β
The mother-in-law hurriedly smiled and said, "Slave and maid, go and ask?" β
"No need." The fifth lady said, "I just asked casually, it's important to go to the seventh master's house." β
Mrs. Ji specially set up a banquet for the seventh uncle, but the seventh uncle didn't even say a word, so he lost the appointment, which made the Ji Dou family very faceless. Her husband asked her to come over and ask what was going on.
Since she ordered to go to Dou Shiying's house, the sedan chair man was tight, and soon arrived at the alley of Jing'an Temple, but was blocked at the mouth of the alley by people on the third floor and the outer three floors.
The fifth lady lifted the sedan curtain again in displeasure and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" β
The mother-in-law who followed the sedan chair trotted all the way over: "Fifth wife, it is said that the eldest lady of the Dou Hanlin family in the Hutong of Jing'an Temple is engaged, and everyone is gathered at the gate of the Dou Mansion to watch the excitement!" β
"What did you say?" The fifth lady was shocked and said hurriedly, "Can you ask clearly, which Dou Hanlin is it?" β
Jing'an Temple Hutong, in addition to the Seven Masters, which Hanlin?
The mother-in-law muttered in her heart, but she didn't dare to say more, knowing which one it was, she still ran over and asked again.
"How so?" Mrs. Fifth sat in the sedan chair in a gloomy manner, only to feel that her chest was like a piece of cloth, which made her breathless.
