Dou Ming jumped up: "Are you crazy? Her eyes widened, and she looked at Wang Yingxue in disbelief.

Wang Yingxue sneered: "Do you think I look like crazy?" Then he told her about inviting Wei Tingyu to come over to the house in her name, "If you didn't rely on him to be on call, would you dare to ask him to go to Daxiangguo Temple?" ”

Dou Ming screamed: "Is there a mother like you?" Don't you look down on me? You're instigating me to do such a thing?! Thinking that he was threatened by Ji Yong, but no one dared to say it, he was scared and aggrieved for a while, and his voice became even sharper, "You don't know anything!" You don't know anything! I only know how to stare at my toes all day long, and you never care about my business......"

Her daughter's words stung Wang Yingxue, and her tears poured out at once: "Why do I only know how to stare at my toes all day long?" If it weren't for you, would I have stayed in the Dou family with all my anger? If it weren't for you, would I have tested the Marquis of Jining? If it weren't for you, would I be blamed like this by you right now? For so many years, you always blame me for not being able to give you honor like other mothers, but have you ever thought about it, if it weren't for me, would you be able to stand firm in the Dou family? If it weren't for me, would you be the concubine of the Dou family? What happened to me letting you marry Jining Hou?

"Marriage is meant to be a marriage between two people. Now that your sister is crying and shouting that she doesn't want to marry, can't we still pick up the leak?

"You blame me for speaking badly, you go find someone who doesn't talk to you ugly!

"Your aunt's words are not unpleasant, but do you know what kind of family affairs their Gao family is protecting you? The man died at the age of two, a widowed mother, relying on his mother's brother to raise him, and now he is just a lifter, and he has to be admitted to the jinshi, he has to be selected, and he has to entertain his boss to take care of his subordinates, are you going to put all your dowry upside down? If you only subsidize the widowed mother, I have nothing to say, don't forget, he also has an uncle, and the family is waiting for this nephew to soar, so as to repay the original parenting grace!

"Your grandmother's words are not unpleasant, but she wants to marry you to Brother Tan, with your dowry, as long as you don't let Brother Tan take the silver to gamble, you and Brother Tan look at Brother Nan'er's eyes, you can eat and drink for the rest of your life;

"Your second aunt is not difficult to hear, but every time people see me, they ask me: Sister Ming'er's sister got half of Xidou's property, and you don't have a son under your knees, rather than leaving it to your concubine or heir, it is better to leave it to Sister Ming, I heard that Aunt Shou has an annual interest of 50,000 taels of silver in her name, Sister Ming is married, why does my aunt have to prepare a dowry of 100,000 taels of silver for her, right? She told me that if your dowry was less than 100,000 taels, she would not agree to this family affair......"

"You, don't say it!" Dou Ming lay on the bed and cried loudly, "Don't say it! ”

Wang Yingxue looked at her heartbroken daughter, and regretted that what she had just said was too heavy.

She couldn't help but walk over and sit on the edge of the bed, gently stroked her daughter's smooth green silk, and said in a low voice: "Sister Ming, I am your mother, I am not good for you, who can I do for good?" If he had no affection for you, I would not have bothered to say this. You have to believe me, my mother has misseen your father in this life, it's me...... It's because I value him too much, and I haven't acted yet, so if I am biased first, I will naturally be less inferior. But this time, I can't be mistaken. I have my own way to let you marry properly and be the wife of the Marquis of Jining in style! ”

"No, I don't want it!" Dou Ming raised his head, mottled with tears, "I don't want something that my sister can't look down on......"

"Silly boy, who is your sister? If she wants to look down on Jining Hou, she has already cleaned up a him, do you still need such twists and turns? Then Pang Kunbai still needs someone to help him walk today! Wang Yingxue looked at Dou Ming with pity and love, "But you see that now, the Marquis of Jining and you met in private in the Daxiangguo Temple, and she actually endured it, which shows how much she values the Marquis of Jining." ”

Dou Ming was stunned for a moment.

She remembered the rumor that Wei Tingyu stayed at the Nanfeng Pavilion a few days ago...... Also, the Wei family is actually in love with the Yan'an Hou family...... My sister endured it......

Her daughter's expression with a hint of abruptness made Wang Yingxue feel certain. She slowed down her voice and said softly: "I'm your biological mother, will I still harm you?" Don't you want to marry a good man? Mrs. Hou of Jining is gentle and kind, Mrs. Hou of Jining is dignified and has a good character, the only sister is married to the prince of Jingguo Mansion, you are married to Mrs. Hou of Jining Hou Mansion, where do you go with your head held high? Isn't that what you wanted? What else are you not satisfied with? ”

Dou Ming seemed to hear the screams of Miss Lang Ba, who had been buried deep in her heart a long time ago: "You are just a concubine, you dare to pretend to be the eldest lady here, shameless!" ”

As if stunned, she asked Wang Yingxue, "What are you going to do?" ”

Oh, yes?

What is she going to do?

Wang Yingxue patted her chest confidently in front of her daughter, and when she walked out of Dou Ming's inner room, she was a little dazed.

Marrying on behalf of others is easy to say, but it is difficult to do.

Let's not talk about whether Dou Shiying agrees or not, even if he wants to hide from Dou Zhao, it is not easy. What's more, there are also the uncles and wives of the Zhao family who will definitely come to watch the ceremony when Dou Zhao leaves the pavilion, the fifth and sixth wives who come to help, Mrs. Cai, who was invited to be a Quanfu person, and the in-laws who came to eat and drink...... Don't say that she is now deprived of the right to preside over the feed, even if she is a serious Seventh Mrs. of the Dou family, it is not easy to do.

Thinking of this, she had a splitting headache for a while.

First of all, she had to stay in the Jing'an Temple Hutong.

Didn't my father ask the Gao family to promise Sister Ming's family a family affair? As a mother, you must look at each other.

When it comes to her daughter, Dou Shiying has always been easy to talk to.

Just use this as an excuse!

When you get married, you have to say goodbye to your parents, you can use the excuse that if you don't leave, it will be an auspicious time, let Dou Ming kowtow to Dou Shiying in a hurry and leave, in front of so many guests, even if Dou Shiying finds out, he is caught off guard, and the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and he will definitely not have a seizure on that occasion.

And then there is Dou Zhao.

The only chance to marry on behalf of others is to wait for the moment when the sedan chair comes after dressing up.

At that time, in addition to the fifth wife, the sixth wife, and the uncle of the Zhao family, there were also Quanfu people and maids who accompanied the marriage.

The maid who accompanied the marriage is easy to say - when the time comes, Dou Zhao will definitely go back to the alley of Jing'an Temple to get married, this is all her people, Dou Zhao's personal maid is the first time to encounter such a thing, what customs and etiquette are used as excuses, and a little trick can be used to separate those maids.

The fifth lady said that there were guests who wanted to see her, and tried to drag her in the flower hall.

The troublesome ones are the sixth wife and the uncle of the Zhao family, they will definitely stay by Dou Zhao's side every step of the way......

Wang Yingxue pondered.

It would be nice if Mrs. Cai could help herself!

At that time, you can find an excuse to separate Mrs. Six and Mrs. Zhao's uncle.

and Dou Zhao...... Before getting married, you should drink lotus seed and lily soup...... Lotus seed lily soup with sweat medicine in the cooking bowl...... The person who had her on the stove coaxed Gao Sheng's daughter-in-law to bring it in......

Wang Yingxue lay on the bed and thought about it for a long time, feeling that this matter was not completely impossible, but if she really acted according to the plan, there were many loopholes, which made her unable to make up her mind for a while.

It happened that Liuye Hutong brought a letter, saying that the Gao family had invited Liu Qingmiao to his home for dinner tomorrow, and asked her to take Dou Ming over to take a look.

Wang Yingxue's mood suddenly became irritable, and she lazily replied "Got it", and went to Dou Ming's house again.

Dou Ming was holding the pipa and sitting on the embroidery pier near the window in a daze.

Wang Yingxue walked over lightly, and said in a low voice: "Your aunt asked us to go over for dinner tomorrow, saying that Liu Qingmiao would also go when the time came, so that you could take a look......"

Dou Ming's knuckles holding the pipa turned white.

Wang Yingxue sighed and said, "You can make your own decisions about this matter." I'm always on your side. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, my mother will help you bear it. ”

Dou Ming was silent.

Wang Yingxue walked out.

After a while, there was a clanging sound of lute behind her.

※※※※※

Dou Shiying returned home, heard Wang Yingxue say that the Gao family introduced Dou Ming's family affairs, the man was only twenty-two years old, he had already been lifted, and he was very satisfied, and instructed Gao Sheng to take three hundred taels of silver for Dou Ming, and asked Wang Yingxue to bring words to Dou Ming: "Men are talented and women are good-looking, men can only stand up to the door if they have learned people, and their appearance and family background are not the most important." ”

Dou Ming lowered his eyelids in response, but he tossed and turned and stayed awake all night.

She knew that with her promise, even if the family affair was decided, her future would be decided, and there was no possibility of repentance.

Liu Qinghao is of medium height, sturdy, honest in appearance, wearing a brand-new royal blue Hangzhou silk jacket, at first glance, he looks like a boy from the countryside who went to the city to make a living, and there is no gentleman's elegance.

Dou Ming was very disappointed.

Wang Yingxue even pulled Dou Ming and left the screen behind the flower hall, under the pretext that this matter had to be discussed with the people of the Dou family, and hurried back to Jing'an Temple Hutong after lunch.

Dou Ming didn't wait for Wang Yingxue to open his mouth and locked himself in the study.

Wang Yingxue sneered in the room.

Why did her sister Ming want to be married to such a person? Wang Nan married Gao Mingzhu with bright eyes and bright teeth?

She wrung her veil and thought about it.

Mrs. Cai is not only the in-laws of the fifth wife, but also has presided over the feeding for many years, her husband is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and she has traveled extensively, and most of the official eunuchs in the official capital are familiar with her, and she herself is a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing and dancing in all directions, and she has a lot of prestige in the official family in Kyoto. And she is just a little-known woman in the Dou family, she can't help Cai Bi get promoted to an official and make a fortune, and she can't let her have a long face, why should she help herself?

Wang Yingxue thought of Kyoto's words about Cai Bi's snobbery, and couldn't help but be moved.

There's nothing you can't buy in this world, it's up to you how much you pay.

Wang Yingxue's eyes couldn't help but fall on the silver ticket of three hundred taels of silver that Dou Shiying had given her to help Dou Ming......
