Chapter 252: Preface
Wei Tingyu smiled bitterly and called Song Mo "brother-in-law".
Brother, he really can't scream!
Song Mo smiled slightly, looking very modest.
Dou Shiying was very satisfied.
The two sons-in-law are both from prominent backgrounds, but they can meet each other as wives, which is not only a respect for their daughters, but also a respect for the Dou family.
Because the ancestral hall of the Dou family was not in Kyoto, he led Song Mo and Dou Zhao to the main hall, kowtowed to the image of the ancestors of the Dou family, and put incense, even if he had worshiped the ancestors and told the happy event. After that, he led them back to the flower hall, kowtowed to Dou Shishu and others, and officially recognized their relatives.
Or considering that the British Mansion is the home of Zhong Ming Ding Food, gold and silver are priceless books, Dou Shishu's meeting gift is the "Spring and Autumn" engraved by the previous dynasty, Dou Shiheng's meeting gift is a set of "Four Books Commentary", Dou Wenchang, Dou Bochang and other brothers, or send a collection of ink, or send a clear heart paper, or send a jade pen wash, or send an enamel warm ink stove, are all objects for reading and learning.
Dou Zhao pursed his lips and smiled.
Song Mo looked at the time when no one was paying attention and asked Dou Zhao quietly, "What are you laughing at?" β
Dou Zhao glanced at Chen He, who was ordered to hold the gift on the side, and laughed in a low voice: "You can go to the top exam!" β
Song Mo looked at the four treasures of the study and couldn't help but smile in his eyes.
I have seen those who are older than them, that is, younger or younger than them.
Wei Tingyu touched the red seal in his sleeve, and didn't know if it was better to take it out, or not to take it out - according to the ceremony, although Song Mo was a brother-in-law, he became a family before Song Mo. But just now, the people of the Dou family gave some things that are not easy to measure with money, and the red envelope of his two hundred taels of silver tickets was a little cheesy when he took it out.
In hesitation, Song Mo smiled and waved at Wei Tingyu. took out a red envelope and handed it to Wei Tingyu.
Wei Tingyu looked at the few little children who were lined up behind him, his face turned red, and he was about to refuse, but Song Mo couldn't help but stuff the red seal into his hand, and said with a smile: "You and I are not dealing with each other today, take it quickly!" It reminded Wei Tingyu of the tone when Song Mo took care of him and asked him to follow Gu Yu to do river engineering business and dividends.
He couldn't help but be stunned.
Song Mo had already smiled and bent down to touch the head of Dou Jichang's eldest son, Dou Qiren, and handed him a seal red.
Dou Qiren shouted loudly, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle", and his excitement was beyond words. made Song Mo's smile even stronger.
Dou Jichang's second son, Dou Qifu, shouted without waiting for Song Mo to take out the seal red: "Fourth uncle, there is still me, and there is me!" The fat little hand was about to reach Song Mo's face.
"I remember. And Brother Fu'er! Song Mo smiled and took out a red seal for him.
Dou Qifu cheered, took Feng Hong, and ran towards Dou Jingyuan in the West Hall with fat legs: "Sister, sister." I've got a red! β
Dou Jingyuan is the daughter of Dou Bochang.
When she heard the sound, she ran over, pulled Song Mo's shirt and said, "Fourth uncle, you didn't give me a red seal." β
The soft and glutinous voice and the big flickering eyes all made Song Mo's heart soften.
"Good. Good, good. Song Mo hugged Dou Jingyuan with a smile and handed her two seals.
Dou Jingyuan grinned. proudly raised the red seal in his hand towards Dou Qiren and Dou Qifu.
Dou Qiren and Dou Qifu hugged Song Mo's thighs right and left, and shouted "Fourth Uncle": "I also want two, I also want two!" β
Dou Zhao's faces were full of embarrassment, and the nurses of the three couldn't raise their heads, so they stepped forward to coax a few children.
Song Mo smiled and stopped a few nurses: "I was just joining in the fun." It doesn't have to be so formal. "I took out two more red seals to make up for Dou Qiren and Dou Qifu.
Dou Qiren and Dou Qifu cheered.
Dou Jingyuan didn't follow, and pouted: "I want one too!" β
Song Mo actually made up another one for her.
Dou Jingyuan smiled happily. Dou Qiren and Dou Qifu were dumbfounded.
The fifth lady blushed and glared fiercely at her two daughters-in-law.
Guo's was excited, and he hurriedly stepped forward to hug Dou Jingyuan, and told Dou Jingyuan with a smile: "Thank you for your fourth uncle!" β
"Thank you, Fourth Uncle!" Dou Jingyuan said in a childish voice, and said to Song Mo flatteringly, "Fourth uncle, you come to our house to play during the New Year, and I will ask my grandfather to write Spring Festival couplets for you!" β
Since she was a child, she has seen many people come to her home to ask for Dou Shishu's Spring Festival couplets but can't, and she thinks in her heart that this is the best thing in the world. Dou Shishu couldn't sit still, got up and arched his hand towards Song Mo: "See smile, see smile!" β
Song Mo smiled and said, "Could it be that Sister Jing has a heart, and the fifth uncle can't shirk it when the time comes!" β
Dou Shishu was a little surprised by Song Mo's easy-goingness, then laughed, and said modestly: "As long as the prince doesn't dislike it!" β
Song Mo said with a smile: "I have long heard that the fifth uncle's words are elegant and handsome, and I have never had the opportunity to meet him. This time, I borrowed Sister Jing's fortune to ask the fifth uncle for the Spring Festival couplets, how dare I say 'disgust'? β
Dou Shishu was still humble, and Dou Shiheng said impatiently: "Family, why are you so polite?" If you want to ask the fifth brother for a few calligraphy and paintings, just come to the door and say it. However, the fifth brother's words are half due to his diligence when he was young, and half due to the fact that he is now a cabinet university
Don't get your hopes up too much! β
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they said this, and Dou Shishu shook his head with a smile and sighed: "How can there be a reason for your own family to tear down your own family's platform?" Then he chatted with Song Mo, "I heard from several old gentlemen in the Hanlin Academy that your handwriting is also good, and the emperor even asked people to help him copy Buddhist scriptures, who did you study?" What books did you read? β
"Learn from Zhongyi Gong." Song Mo said with a straight face, "Follow Zhongyi Gong to read "Spring and Autumn". β
There are hundreds of schools, as vast as the sea. Four books and five classics, Haoshou is poor and red, even if it is a scholar who wants to participate in the imperial examination, it is impossible to be familiar with it, usually choose one of them as the direction of his major, and Zhongyi Gong is the world's classics and scholars, several princes' teaching masters, died three years ago, and got the nickname of "Zhongyi".
"It seems that I have delivered the right copy of "Spring and Autumn". Dou Shishu pinched his beard and smiled, looking at Song Mo's gaze as if he had discovered his own kind, there was a subtle change.
Dou Shiheng's expression also changed subtly, and said: ""Spring and Autumn" is long and difficult to remember, and now few people can bear to read "Spring and Autumn" in order to get up to speed as soon as possible, but I didn't expect you to read "Spring and Autumn". β
He is reading "Spring and Autumn".
Song Mo smiled: "I don't need the imperial examination. Just read it slowly. β
Dou Shiheng nodded: "This is already rare." He actually grabbed Song Mo's shoulders and wanted to sit down and talk to him.
Ji couldn't help crying and laughing, and said with a smile: "Master, if you have anything to say, it's the same if you invite the prince to your house another day." Today, I still let the prince meet the fifth sister-in-law and several nephews and daughters-in-law. β
Dou Shiheng patted his head with a smile, and said with a smile, "Look at my memory", and at the same time, he pulled Song Mo on behalf of him and introduced the fifth wife to him.
Because of the children's gags, everyone stood together with a smile, a little less Mu Su when they entered the door, and a little more lively and festive.
After Dou Zhao and Song Mo kowtowed to the fifth wife. The fifth wife personally carried Dou Zhao up, handed Dou Zhao a box painted with red lacquer and gold, and said with a smile: "It's a jasper hairpin." I wish you all respect each other and grow old. β
Compared with the previous meeting with Dou Shishu and others, it was cordial and friendly.
Song Mo and Dou Zhao hurriedly thanked the fifth wife and kowtowed to the sixth wife.
The greeting gift that Ji should give them was a small chiming bell.
"It's beautiful!" Dou Zhao liked it very much and thanked him repeatedly.
Ji smiled. didn't say anything, just helped Dou Zhao straighten his clothes, and stepped aside.
Dou Ming's eyes couldn't help but turn red when he looked at it.
thought of when he returned to the door in three days, Dou Shishu's seemingly cordial but somewhat careless arrogance in his bones; thought of Dou Shishu and other elders rewarding Wei Tingyu and his own red seal with a hundred taels of silver tickets......
is also a married daughter, why treat her differently from Dou Zhao?
She glanced at Wei Tingyu.
Wei Tingyu stood in a corner where no one was around, smiling a little embarrassedly.
Dou Ming bit his lip tightly.
She called Song Mo "brother-in-law". Jiao smiled: "What kind of greeting gift did you and my sister prepare for me?" β
Song Mo smiled and handed her a red seal, and then teased Dou Jingyuan with a smile: "Sister Jing has won my red seal, but she hasn't given me a salute yet?" β
Dou Jingyuan covered her mouth and smiled. Song Mo and Dou Zhao saluted respectfully.
Gao Sheng hurriedly came over and invited everyone to sit in the east hall: "The wine and food are ready!" β
Everyone laughed and went to the West Hall.
No one paid attention to Dou Ming.
Dou Ming sneered and sat down beside Dou Zhao.
Dou Zhao didn't see it, and replied unhurriedly to the words of the fifth wife: "...... Yizhitang has a beautiful view, and the prince has been living there all the time, if he wants to move. There are a lot of things, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to finish moving in two or three months. It's better to live in Yizhitang. β
The fifth lady nodded and said, "That's fine." Your father-in-law is in the prime of life, maybe one day it will be renewed, you live in Yizhitang, and she is far away, and it is quieter. β
Seeing that Dou Ming was listening, Ji Shi poured a glass of wine for the fifth wife with a smile, and said, "No matter how big the inner courtyard of the British Mansion is, can it be bigger than Xi Dou?" Since Aunt Shou can preside over the middle feed of Xi Dou, she can't preside over the middle feed of the British Mansion? Even if she can't make up her mind about something, isn't there still you? Don't worry about her! She's having a good time! Interrupting Mrs. Five's words, she told the maid to see what other dishes there were, and talked to Mrs. Five about the dried fruits of Chunfangzhai, and Mrs. Five talked about the Fu Tangerine on the table: "Their Fu Tang is delicious, and I don't know how to make it?" β
Ji said with a smile: "I don't think it's as delicious as Fujian orange cakes." β
Diverted the conversation.
Dou Ming knew that Ji was guarding against her. She kicked Han lightly and said in a low voice, "Your mother-in-law is still quite difficult to serve?" β
Han Shi quietly moved his body, opened a non-obvious distance from Dou Ming, and laughed quietly: "My mother-in-law is very good!" It's just that the Ji family pays attention to not getting tired of eating, and not getting tired of being fine! β
She used to sympathize with Dou Ming and didn't love her, but since the incident of her sister's easy marriage, she felt that she was too naΓ―ve in the past and thought about some things too simply.
