Dou Ming is no longer the child who was a little timid when he met the second wife.

Dou Shiying spent a lot of effort to invite her grandmother and taught her how to become a famous lady who meets the expectations of the public.

She knelt in front of the second wife and cried heartbreakingly: "The son does not say anything about the father." Even if my mother is wrong, I, as a daughter, cannot watch her be humiliated. My father has always pitied my sister for being unhappy since she was a child, and my sister has grown up with Aunt Cui since she was a child, I don't ask my sister to help my mother say a good word, but I should also persuade my father to say that I am a hot temper, and I don't have a serious way to speak, this is mine, but every time my father sees my sister, he has to have a fight with my mother, doesn't my sister have a little responsibility? When my sister arrived in Kyoto, since she didn't go to see her mother or ask her grandmother for peace," she said, looking at the second lady with tears in her eyes, "Ancestor, since I was a child, you always told me to obey the rules, and you said, is this in order?" ”

Dou Zhao listened beside him, with mixed feelings.

Wang Yingxue is her stepmother, and Wang Xu is her maternal grandmother, so it stands to reason that she should kowtow to say goodbye.

And the second lady was bent on slapping Wang Xu's face, so naturally she wouldn't let her greet Wang Xu and Wang Yingxue. If it weren't for such certainty, Dou Zhao would not have followed the second wife to live in Huaishu Hutong. But seeing that Dou Ming understood how to use Aunt Cui's grandmother to provoke the second wife, and knew how to divert the attention of the second wife with unruly words, she felt faintly relieved.

At least, Dou Ming knows how to use his brain, and he is no longer the wayward child who will only yell or hide in the arms of Wang Xu and Wang Yingxue when he is hit. This will be much easier for the road she will take in the future.

The second lady was really weak, and she didn't open her mouth to reprimand Dou Ming, but because of her status, it was not easy to argue with a junior.

Seeing the opportunity, Mama Liu smiled and walked a few steps forward to Dou Ming's side, bending down to carry her, and said, "It's not right for Fifth Miss to say that." You still learned to walk on the Tai Lady's kang. The palm of the hand is meat, but the back of the hand is not meat? Mrs. Tai loves Miss Four, and she loves Miss Five just as much. It is exactly what Miss Fifth said, the son does not say anything about the father, and there are some things that the lady is not good to tell you juniors. Otherwise, if your sister didn't go to greet your grandmother, why didn't your grandmother complain? He added, "Fifth Miss is also older now, so she has to think more about it." ”

The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. At Dou Ming's age, although he understands such and such truths, it is difficult for them to control their feelings. She came angrily, but when Dou Zhao turned around and left without saying a word, she couldn't help but secretly scream in her heart, "Oops." After thinking about it for a long time, I thought of a way to get out.

Mama Liu came to the bolt, and after a little hesitation, she stood up with sobs.

The second wife wanted to cause trouble for the Dou family with Dou Shiying, but she was suddenly a little stunned and lost her control.

She waved and said to Dou Ming: "I will tell your father about your mother, you go back first!" Follow Mama well and learn the rules so that your parents don't worry about you anymore. ”

said that Dou Ming seemed to be stubborn.

Dou Ming couldn't help biting her lip, but thinking that for the first time in so many years, she retreated in front of Dou Zhao, so she couldn't help but glance at Dou Zhao with a provocative gaze, and then followed Mama Liu to retreat.

Dou Zhao didn't care about Dou Ming's attitude towards him, Dou Ming couldn't instruct the Dou family's stewards and guards, just like a cat with its claws cut off, no matter how fierce it was, it would not be lethal.

She saw that the second lady was tired, and said a few words, "Please also ask the lady to persuade my father not to make any more trouble", and then withdrew.

It was two days before Mrs. Tai reported the matter to Dou Shishu.

Dou Shishu immediately found Dou Shiying to come over and talk.

Dou Shiying was still angry, and at his cousin, who he trusted very much, the words in his heart were like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and he poured them out: "...... Although Wang Yingxue was confused, the aunt and grandmother of the Wei family were even more hateful. actually induced Wang Yingxue to humiliate Aunt Shou! What do they want to do? If you are not satisfied with this marriage, you will make it clear at the beginning. The He family is also a good family. It's good now, Aunt Shou has been waiting for the Wei family for three years, and seeing that the wedding date is imminent, the Wei family has such crooked thoughts, so that Aunt Shou is not left, nor is she right, and let the Wei family handle it in vain. ”

Dou Shishu's face was solemn when he heard this: "Is Wang's words credible?" ”

The suspicion revealed in his words made Dou Shiying's face red.

He couldn't help but bow his head and muttered, "I have carefully interrogated the people around the Wang family...... and she is not lying. Moreover, these days, except for the Wei family, no second person has come to visit the house, the Wang family has been detained at home for several days, it is impossible to suddenly think of this matter, she also said it, it is because the Wei family promised to help Sister Ming say that the family is good, and she voted for Li Touyao, she is not good at refusing the Wei family, so she agreed...

Since Dou Shishu entered the cabinet, he has been busy with official affairs and entertainment, and even the affairs of his own children have been handed over to the fifth wife, not to mention the marriage of his cousin's second daughter.

"What's wrong with Sister Ming's marriage?" He said, "Isn't it smooth? ”

Dou Shiying said in a low voice: "It's not unsmooth, it's just that the high is not low, the family that Wei said is the nephew of Changxing Hou Shi Ruilan......"

Dou Shishu frowned slightly, and said, "There will be no seed." As long as the child has the ability, the family business can also be earned. If the child misbehaves, the gold and silver will also be squandered. For people like us, it's better to find a son-in-law who is studying. The reason why I objected to Shou Gu marrying into the Marquis of Jining was also the reason. After he finished speaking, he thought about it and said, "I think it's okay, I'll talk to Fuzhi and ask him to help care about it, and find a good character and innocent family for Sister Ming." ”

Supplemented by the words of his in-law Cai Bi.

Cai Bi is exquisite, long-sleeved and good-sleeved, and his title confidant is all over the world, and with him coming forward to help be a matchmaker, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Dou Shiying hurriedly thanked Dou Shishu, although half of his anger was gone, he was not ready to let go of the Wei family's Yishou Gu who had not yet married, the Wei family dared to fight such an idea, so that if he was married, there would be no bones left that would not be eaten by the Wei family?

For the first time, he learned about thinking about his heirs.

And Wei Tingyu knew his sister's plan when Zhang Mingyuan took him to Song Mo to help with the aftermath. He complained to Wei Tingzhen well, and said to his mother Tian: "I don't want to quit my family!" Miss Dou is very good. People are beautiful, and they are family affairs that have been settled since childhood, and there is no reason to withdraw from relatives casually. ”

Tian was already uneasy about this matter, and she didn't quit the marriage, but she was relieved, seeing that her son was unwilling to withdraw from the family, she didn't want to force it, so she found Wei Tingzhen to persuade: "Forget this matter like this!" Your brother is not willing to give up. ”

Wei Tingzhen was angry, but was reprimanded by Zhang Yuanming: "The fifth master of the Dou family is now an elder of the pavilion, and there are several Jinshi people, and they will only become more and more prominent in the future, even if the dowry is a little less, what is the matter, leaning on this big tree, are you still afraid that the Marquis of Jining will not have a good life?" You don't want to live by staring at your toes! ”

The excuse of "Xiang Ke" is useless, and the fifth wife of the Dou family has been alerted, it is impossible to start withdrawing from this aspect, and the mother and younger brother still don't appreciate it, Wei Tingzhen is also a little surprised.

"But the dowry is too little." She muttered a few words reluctantly.

"Why are you so confused about this?" Zhang Yuanming said, "The Changxing Hou family can be regarded as a big business, right?" But you see that the young lady of their family is out of the cabinet, and the public middle school pays 3,000 taels of silver, and there is no more, which has to count the cost of the dowry and the wedding banquet. If you look at the Jiangnan giant Hu family marrying his daughter a few years ago, the silver for the marriage alone was 50,000 taels. The amount of dowry does not depend on the level of the family, but on the love of parents for their children. ”

Wei Tingzhen said nothing more.

Wei Tingyu wondered if he should come to the door to compensate Dou Shiying, but when he thought of what his sister had done, he was a little timid, so he waited for the news of Dou Zhao's entry into Beijing

He couldn't sit still any longer, so he brought good tea and wine and came to visit.

Dou Shiying was angry, and he didn't see Wei Tingyu at all.

Wei Tingyu left the Jing'an Temple Hutong in embarrassment.

Tian persuaded him: "When the time comes, we will prepare a dowry and give Aunt Shou a decent gift." ”

Prepare the dowry heavily, and you have to get the silver!

Wei Tingyu thought of the 20,000 taels of silver that Gu Yu had not settled for him, and went out again.

Gu Yu's little servant said: "Our son-in-law and the Hou Shizi of Yan'an went to Kaifeng. Jining Hou will come to find the son in a few days! ”

Wei Tingyu went two more times, but he didn't see anyone at the station.

He had no choice, so he went to the British Mansion to beg Song Mo: "......, and ask the prince to deliver a message to Gu Gongzi." ”

Song Mo was silent for a long time and said, "So, the wedding date is set?" ”

Wei Tingyu said abruptly: "It's just a matter of the past few days. ”

Song Mo let out an "oh" and said, "Don't worry, I will tell Gu Yu about this." The tone was obviously a little interesting compared to usual.

Wei Tingyu was puzzled.

Kyoto has long spread that the British Duke wants to continue the strings, and he has a slight family background, which hinders Song Mo's reluctance to marry his daughter: if he wants to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, the British Duke looks down on it. So much so that all over Kyoto City, the British Duke couldn't find a suitable family affair.

Song Mo is smooth, he should have a very comfortable life, why does he look listless?

However, he still had a bunch of things on his mind, and he was not in the mood to care about these mouths Wei Tingyu chatted with Song Mo for a few words, and then got up to leave.

Gu Yu did go to Kaifeng Mansion.

Song Mo instructed his account room, Huo Li: "You prepare 20,000 taels of silver, and I will use it in two days." ”

Huo Li was afraid that Song Mo's income would not be enough to meet Yi Zhitang's expenses at first, but he didn't expect that Song Mo had a lot of methods, and Yi Zhi Tang was not only more generous than before, but also quite saving. He also knew that some of Song Mo's expenses were not visible, so he said respectfully: "Is it quasi-cash?" Or prepare a silver ticket? ”

"Prepare the silver ticket!" Song Mo said lonely, "When the time comes, you can just hand it over to Chen He." ”

Huo Li retreated.

Song Mo looked at the big Lingxiao flowers, and his heart was like numbness.

Ji Yong in Yuqiao Hutong was also confused.

Since he broke up with Dou Zhao, he has never slept well after tossing and turning.

Could it be that just watching Dou Zhao marry Wei Tingyu, a guy who looks obscene and has no merit in learning and conduct?
