Chapter 157: Method

"......, the British Duke really killed all the guards who escaped and let the bodies be carried in front of the world." Chen Qushui sighed, "Maybe I heard some rumors, on the day of March 7, almost all the relatives and friends of the British Mansion came." The prince should treat his body, he can't see that he still has injuries on his body, the British prince looks solemn, and when he mentions Mrs. Jiang, his face is full of sadness, only Song Erye has been kneeling in front of Mrs. Jiang and crying, his eyes are swollen. In the evening, the British Duke left three horses to talk to the people of the Lu family, and prepared to invite Mrs. Lu's brother Lu Fuli to be the middleman, and distribute Mrs. Jiang's dowry to the prince and the second master of Song. Now the British Mansion looks harmonious, but Yizhitang and the British Mansion are actually distinct, and the prince even quietly sent people to place some people in his grange in Daxing Yuci. ”

"Three holes of cunning rabbits." Dou Zhao listened very carefully, knowing that Song Mo and Song Yichun were still maintaining the illusion of father's kindness and filial piety in front of everyone, and while he was relieved that he had achieved his goal, he also sighed a little emotionally, "Their father and son, in the future, either the east wind will overwhelm the west wind, or the west wind will overwhelm the east wind and the father and son will be staged in the British Mansion for a long time." ”

When everyone listened, they were very disappointed, and the atmosphere in the room became a little depressing.

Dou Zhao smiled and broke everyone's dullness, and said: "Fortunately, these are none of our business, once we have done everything we can and what we should do, we can do everything we need to do, and we are worthy of our conscience." What happened between their father and son, after all, we are outsiders, and we can neither interfere nor necessarily know. ”

Her words didn't have much effect, although Duan Gongyi smiled, his expression was still a little heavy, but Chen Qushui understood Dou Zhao's intentions, and said with a smile: "The prince wants to kill us, we saved the life of the prince, speaking of which, we are repaying virtue with resentment." This public case should also be able to be done. These days, everyone can't eat well and can't sleep with the affairs of the British government, and now that it's really decided, don't think about those things anymore. Let's all go down and rest, and Sister Chalk can rest early. ”

Duan Gongyi and the others got up with a smile when they heard this.

Dou Zhao instructed Duan Gongyi: "You have worked hard these days, arrange to take turns to go back and take a few days off and get together with your family." ”

Duan Gongyi and the others smiled and thanked them, and walked out of the inner courtyard with Chen Qushui.

Dou Zhao asked Su Lan to inquire when Ji Yong would leave: "......, let's also prepare Cheng Yi." ”

Su Lan responded with a smile, and talked back and forth in the evening: "It is said that tomorrow Chenzheng will leave, and the fifth young master will also go to Kyoto with Ji Gongzi." ”

Although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

Dou Zhao instructed Su Xin: "Cheng Yi prepare two hundred taels of silver for each of them." ”

Su Xin answered.

Early the next morning, Dou Zhao and the ladies of the Dou family sent Ji Yong and Dou Qijun together.

The second lady repeatedly told Dou Qijun: "Don't worry, this time it's just to see." It's good to only pass the exam, otherwise it's good to ask your fifth uncle for advice. He said to Ji Yong, "Be careful on the road, if there is anything to discuss with each other, and go to Kyoto safely, let me rest assured!" ”

The two respectfully should be.

The second husband sent the two to the gate.

The servants served the two to get into the carriage. empty

Ji Yong saw Dou Zhao in the crowd at a glance.

She wore a moon-white plain makeup, a snow raccoon Zhaojun set, and a big ferret wind collar, with pearls hanging in her ears, in the cold wind, her cheeks like a lotus were like a layer of rouge, like a cold plum blooming in the snow.

Ji Yong couldn't help but clench his fists.

This time she must not be allowed to underestimate herself again!

He turned into the carriage and commanded Zixi: "Let's go, let's go to Kyoto." ”

The carriage carrying the two disappeared in the snowstorm.

Everyone laughed and went to the hall.

Dou Zhao and Dou Qijun's wife, Qi, walked side by side, listening to the nine cousins-in-law's interesting stories about their son, but they were thinking about their own affairs.

She is about to merge in time for the New Year.

Yan'an Hou Wang Qinghuai's sister Wang Qingyuan is only two months younger than her.

Back then, if he hadn't appeared "in time", Tian would have remembered his old love Wei Tingyu again, and Wei Tingzhen would have married Wang Qingyuan.

The Wang family also seems to have the intention of marrying Wang Qingyuan to Wei Tingyu.

She still remembers the strange look that Wang Qinghuai's wife Hu Shi had when she first married into the Marquis of Jining.

If it weren't for the fact that Wei Tingzhen was angry and annoyed with her because of a trivial matter many years later, and she probably would never have known about it.

It's just that I don't know that with Wei Tingzhen's character, after the gentle and docile Wang Qingyuan marries, she won't dislike Qingqingyuan as much as she dislikes her strength?

Dou Zhao was skeptical.

Still, she decided to start with that.

She remembered that Wang Qingyuan finally married the eldest son of Huatang, the commander of the Ulzhou Weidu, and was widowed in less than a year, and because he did not leave an heir, the brother-in-law was strong, and he was very unhappy in the Hua family, or Wang Qinghuai felt sorry for this sister and forcibly took her back to the Yan'an Hou Mansion. Since then, Wang Qingyuan has been a layman with ancient Buddha green lanterns.

If this marriage can be put together, it may not be a bad thing.

Dou Zhao did what he wanted, and took advantage of Cui Shisan's return for the New Year to let him pay attention to the affairs of the Hou family in Yan'an.

Cui Shisan was a little puzzled and said: "Wang Qinghuai, the prince of Yan'an, is good at general affairs, and Yan'an Hou trusts the prince very much, and all the affairs of the family are entrusted to him to manage. The Marquis of Yan'an Mansion looks unsurprising, but his life is quite rich. It's just because he has always been low-key and introverted, and he is quite strict with the children in the family, and he is not visible. We operate with a small capital, even if we talk to the Wang family, I'm afraid there will be no profit. ”

In the past two years, he has put money in Kyoto, but he responded to the sentence "I don't know if I don't do it, and I will be shocked when I do it", not only the officials in Beijing want to borrow silver, but the children of the hairpin family borrow more frequently, and the officials borrow silver, and they will pay it back as soon as they have the silver. Fan Wenshu looked sorry for the ancestors of those people, and discussed that it would be better to secretly do some reselling antiques.

The situation of the Wang family, Dou Zhao is naturally the most clear.

Wei Tingzhen also took a fancy to Wang Qingyuan, and it also had a lot to do with Wang Qingyuan's dowry.

It's just that this matter is not good to say to Cui Shisanming.

She had to smile and say: "I got a piece of news, saying that the Emperor Kaichun is going to rectify the river work, this is a big sale, then Yan'an Hou will definitely not let go of this opportunity, you just keep an eye on their house at that time, maybe they eat meat, we can drink some soup!" ”

Cui Shisan felt that this idea was very bad, but he was still young at this time, even if he felt that something was wrong in his heart, he couldn't find any flaws in Dou Zhao, so he solemnly responded and went to Zhao Liangbi to discuss this matter: "You say, is there something that Sister Sixiao is hiding from us?" ”

Zhao Liangbi is already the shopkeeper of the Dou family's grain shop in Zhendingzhou.

He glanced at Cui Shisan and said, "Even if Sister Sixiao has something to hide from you, you know it, what can you change?" ”

Cui Shisan thought about it seriously and said, "No! ”

"That's not it." Zhao Liangbi said with a smile, "You can help you with what Sister Sixiao asks you to do, and when that day comes, you will naturally know." Then he invited him, "I'm going to Dongxiang Street, will you go?" ”

"What are you doing on East Lane Street?" Cui Shisan had already taken annual leave, and made a special trip to Zhendingshuai to play with Zhao Liangbi, "I only know you at this time, and I know that I am going to go together." ”

Zhao Liangbi said with a smile: "Sister Xiao Chalk entrusted me to take care of other martial arts halls and Mr. Chen's house, although there are two old men over there to help take care of it, but seeing that it is going to be the New Year, I have to go over to take a look." ”

Cui Shisan did not doubt that he had him, and followed Zhao Liangbi for a day before returning to Cuijiazhuang.

The fourth sister-in-law, Tuo Niang, was leading the ninth sister-in-law who had just entered the door to be busy with the family's dinner in the kitchen, and the fourth brother's son Zhongyuan and daughter Changqing were sitting on the kitchen pestle to help pick soybeans and beat tofu for the New Year.

Seeing Cui 13 coming back, Tuo Niang asked him with a smile: "You can see the four chalky sisters?" ”

She asked Cui Thirteen to give Dou Zhao two pairs of shoes made by herself.

Zhong Yuan and Changqing obediently shouted "Uncle Thirteen".

Cui Shisan smiled and touched the heads of the two children, took out a packet of caramel in his arms and handed it to them.

The two children cheered happily.

Cui 13 said: "Send it." Sister Sixiao said that the dress fits very well, let you make two pairs of embroidered folded branches and flowers for her next time, and asked me to bring two boxes of snacks back to Zhongyuan and Changqing, and I heard that the nectar said that it was given by the palace and specially brought to Sister Sixiao from Kyoto by the Seventh Master. and the four "I also provide the bull" chalk sister gave the things to the house. ”

When she heard this, she smiled happily and said a few times, "No." Asked carefully what kind of shoes Dou Zhao had: "In a few days, it will be the four chalk sisters' salute, why do I have to take Zhong Yuan and Changqing to kowtow to the four chalk sisters." ”

The family has been talking about this for the past few days, and Cui's father also called all the thirteen brothers together to discuss what to send. Cui Shisan has been in Kyoto for two years, this matter was handed over to him, he was having a headache, and after listening to his mother's words, he couldn't help muttering: "It's better to be the fourth sister-in-law, and the two pairs of shoes will be sent away." Before the words fell, his heart moved, so he simply didn't leave, and sat there picking soybeans with Changqing: "Fourth sister-in-law, you are the one who has served beside Sister Sixiao, what does Sister Sixiaocha like?" ”

Tu Niang and Cui Shisan were talking, but they were not slow at all in their hands: "As long as you sincerely send the things of the four chalk sisters, the four chalk sisters like them." I can't help but talk about Dou Zhao's childhood, "..., a little villain, who is good to her, who is not good to her, all in my heart. He is generous and generous, and he never cares about anything...,""

Cui Jiu's daughter-in-law looked at the mother and talked about it, and couldn't help but show an envious expression.

Cui Si has the most wooden among his brothers, and because he married a good mother, no one in the Cui family dared to snub him. It was the father-in-law and mother-in-law, who were a little polite when they saw the two of them, and the four chalky sisters of the Dou family even rewarded things every once in a while, and the people in the family also followed suit. Fortunately, Tu Niang's temperament is good, never arrogant because of this, when it comes to her going to the ground to deliver food, cooking on the fire to cook, and the concubines all obey her as a human being, she can control her husband and relatives, and when the women in the eight villages mention her, nine people are envious, and one person is jealous.

Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but fall on Zhong Yuan and Changqing, who were still young.

With the relationship between the four chalk sisters, what future are these two children worried about!

Sisters, brothers, thank you all for your pink tickets! … blushing and ......,
