Chapter 216: Diligence

What's the plan?

I can only find a way to find a better in-law for Dou Zhao!

If you can't find it, stay at home and recruit a son-in-law.

In short, Dou Zhao can't be wronged anymore!

But this is easier said than done.

Let's not talk about Dou Zhao's age, how many people can compare to Wei Tingyu is a hereditary marquis? Recruiting a son-in-law, if it's so easy, why is Zhang Ru still in the boudoir?

Dou Shiying couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Zhao Zhang, who had already noticed Dou Shiying, hurriedly pulled Dou Zhao's shirt.

Dou Zhao was slightly stunned, and when he saw his father who was embarrassed under his uncle's sharp gaze, he sighed secretly, and stepped forward to help his father relieve the siege: "When did you come?" Why don't you say hello? He also greeted his aunt: "It's cold at night, let's come into the house and have a cup of hot tea?" Then he stepped forward and took his aunt's arm, and said with a smile: "My cousin and I just picked up a few interesting things, which must have been given to my mother by my grandmother when my mother got married, and we were looking for you to ask!" With a smile, he pulled his aunt into the north room, which was temporarily used as a banquet room.

Zhao Zhangru smiled and waited for Dou Shiying with the curtain.

Dou Shiying was grateful, smiled kindly at Zhao Zhangru, entered the banquet room in the north room, listened to her daughter and Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Zhangru talk for a long time, drank a few cups of tea absentmindedly, and saw that it was not early, and everything was almost cleaned up, so she got up and said goodbye.

My aunt couldn't help but snort coldly.

Dou Shiying didn't sleep all night.

The next morning, I got up and went to see Dou Zhao and said, "I have already discussed with the people of the Wang family, let the Wang family either go back to Zhending's hometown to serve the second wife, or go to the family temple to cultivate for a few days, you might as well stay in Kyoto, there is still a lack of someone in the family to preside over the feed." ”

That's easy to talk about!

Dou Zhaoyuan didn't plan to return to Zhending so soon.

She always had to take care of her own affairs before she went back.

"Okay!" Dou Zhao said with a smile, "My aunt said that I came to Kyoto with my uncle once when I was young, and I just wanted to keep my aunt and cousin Zhangru at home for a few more days and visit some famous places in Kyoto." ”

Dou Shiying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and talked about the places of interest in Kyoto.

A little servant waited outside for a long time, until Dou Shiying's words came to an end, and then he cautiously came in and said: "Seventh master, Lord Xu Zhiji of the Hanlin Academy sent someone to send you an invitation, I want you to go to the Drunken Immortal Tower to drink tonight, please be sure to come." ”

As soon as Dou Shiying heard it, he knew that Xu Zhiji probably had something to ask for himself.

He has always pursued the principle of "being convenient with others is convenient with himself", but at this time, how could he be in the mood to go to a drunken immortal building with Xu Zhiji to drink!

He thought for a while and said, "You go and tell the person who delivered the letter that there are some trivial matters at home, and it is inconvenient to go to the Drunken Immortal Building to drink, thank you for his kindness." If he has another important business to discuss, please come to his house for a cup of tea! ”

The little guy went away.

Dou Shiying continued to talk to Dou Zhao about the previous topic: "...... Do you have a particular place you'd like to visit? I'll let Gao Sheng accompany you. ”

If it weren't for the inconvenience of having an uncle and a lonely man and a widow, he would have gone with his daughter after two days.

Dou Zhao said a few things, but he felt that it was inappropriate, and said with a smile: "Ouch, this matter is not in a hurry." I'll talk to my cousin about it later. ”

Dou Shiying saw that she was in a good mood, and her heart became happy, and said: "I remember that you like the seal stone the most, when you saw it in my study when you were a child, you didn't want to let go, so you had to take it back to your room and hide it." In a few days, I will accompany you to Yubaoxuan to have a look, in Kyoto, their family's antique jade is very distinctive, and it is even better than the goods in our Jifen Pavilion......" Carefully coaxed Dou Zhao to be happy.

Dou Zhao was angry at that time, and he specifically found what his father liked to take it for himself, where was his sincere liking. It's kind of funny when I think about it now. However, the opportunity is rare, and it is not bad to follow my father to Yubaoxuan to see it.

She smiled and asked her father: "Didn't you say that our family Jifen Pavilion is the first in the world?" Why is it that the things of Jade Treasure Xuan are even better than ours? ”

"Our Jifen Pavilion is better in the variety, high, medium and low-end have, all major state capitals have branches, if in the Nanjing branch fancy what to send to Hangzhou, Jifenge can also help to deliver, so famous. But if it is about the quality of things, it is not as delicate as Yubaoxuan......" Dou Shiying was explaining to Dou Zhao carefully, and the little guy broke in again, and said: "Seventh master, Lord Xu's entourage talked back and forth, asking if you can come to visit this afternoon?" ”

Dou Shiying couldn't help but "huh" and muttered, "What's the matter?" So urgent! ”

Dou Zhao hurriedly said: "Daddy, if you have something, go and get busy with you!" I happened to go to my aunt's place to sit down and ask my aunt and cousin where they wanted to play. ”

Dou Shiying was not reluctant and went back to the study.

After lunch, Xu Zhiji brought a scribe in Tsing Yi who was about fifty years old.

Dou Shiying saw that the scribe was brightly dressed, with a flawless Hetian jade pendant hanging from his waist, his face was ruddy, his little nails were more than an inch, and he looked like a pampered old Confucian scholar, so he couldn't help but be secretly strange, and quietly asked the two to sit down.

didn't wait for the little guy to serve tea, Xu Zhiji first confessed and said: "Without the consent of Brother Wanyuan, I took the liberty to come, I was really in a hurry, and I asked Brother Wanyuan to forgive me." ”

Xu Zhiji's request may be related to this Tsing Yi scribe.

Dou Shiying thought for a while and said with a smile: "You and I are both officials in the Hanlin Academy, so we should help each other, Brother Zhiji is serious." ”

The two exchanged a few words, and Xu Zhiji introduced the Tsing Yi scribe to Dou Shiying: "This is my fellow countryman, surnamed Tao, named, and heavy-handed, and now he is a staff member in the British government." In my early years, I came to Kyoto to participate in the imperial examination, and I received the favor of Brother Tao. Now Brother Tao has something to ask for, and I am humble, so I have to come to ask Brother Wan for help. As he spoke, he got up and waved towards Dou Shiying, "Please also ask Brother Wan Yuan to help no matter what." ”

Seeing this, the Tsing Yi scribe also got up and saluted Dou Shiying.

"Hurry up, please!" Dou Shiying hurriedly helped the two of them and said, "Brother Zhiji, you know my temper, everyone is traveling in Kyoto, it is already fate to know each other, as long as I can help, I am duty-bound." ”

Xu Zhiji dared to bring someone to come because he knew.

He recounted what had happened.

It turned out that this pottery had a merchant's nephew, who was involved in a theft case in Baoding Mansion in Beizhili a few years ago, and the pottery wanted to ask Dou Shiying to help say hello to the people in Baoding Mansion.

Dou Shiying knew that they wanted him to pull Dou Shishu's tiger skin as a banner - Dou Shishu was the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Pottery Rebirth was afraid that Dou Shiying would not be willing to help, so he hurriedly said: "My nephew has always been loyal and honest, and his family has surplus funds, so it is impossible to commit theft." If you can return his innocence, you must be grateful. ”

There are many such things, Dou Shiying can't help the abuse for a few silver, not to mention that Xu Zhiji is a two-list jinshi, and he is an official in the Hanlin Academy, how can he find a way to find someone to say hello to the prefect of Baoding, since he has found himself here, I am afraid that this so-called theft case is not so simple, so he smiled: "Thank you or not, I will ask first, if I can help, it is naturally the best." ”

Tao Jizhong hurriedly got up and thanked him, and said with emotion: "I wanted to ask the British Duke to say hello, but I didn't expect the British Duke to say that it was inconvenient for the court officials to make friends with foreign ministers, and they had a lot of scruples. It's still good for my generation to read, and I can meet people who help each other wherever I go. ”

not only explained why his master didn't help him, but also flattered Xu Zhiji and Dou Shiying.

Xu Zhiji coughed hurriedly.

A person who usually speaks quite appropriately, why did he make such a mistake at this time?

Since he is begging Dou Shiying, just talk to Dou Shiying, what do you want him to do?

Pottery Shigeya also realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly changed the topic, talking about some anecdotes in Kyoto in recent days, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

After a few rounds of tea, Xu Zhiji saw that Dou Shiying's eyebrows were a little tired, so he glanced at the pottery, said a few more gossips, and got up to leave.

Dou Shiying politely sent the two out of the study.

The servants are putting away the big red lanterns with double happiness on them.

Tao Zhong smiled and said, "Don't you know what kind of happy event is in the house?" If you had known this would have been the case, you should have visited a few days in advance. ”

Dou Shiying couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and said briefly: "It's a little girl who is married!" ”

"Oh!" Pottery Chong was very interested, and said, "I don't know which family Ling Ai married to?" ”

Dou Shiying's expression was even more unnatural, but Xu Zhiji had come to drink the wine, thinking that the pottery was heavy as a staff member in the British Mansion, even if he didn't know the Marquis of Jining, he should have heard of it, maybe he could get closer to each other because of this, and said with a smile: "The coquettish guest in Lord Dou's mansion is the founder of the country, after the Marquis of Jining, he looks like a talent, and he has not yet reached the crown to attack the ......."

Now that the news of the sister's easy marriage has not been spread, Dou Shiying was afraid that Xu Zhiji would continue to talk about it and make people laugh at that time, so he hurriedly said, "Brother Zhiji praised him", interrupting Xu Zhiji's words.

Xu Zhiji saw that Dou Shiying looked reluctant to say more, thinking that it was most likely that this son-in-law didn't like Dou Shiying very much, so he smiled and went down the trend and stopped the topic. Who knew that the pottery was heavy, but he said with a little flattery: "Lord Dou is really a blessing!" The second daughters are married so well, and it is Mrs. Hou who enters the door, and the eldest aunt must also be outstanding. I don't know which family's son the eldest aunt is? ”

Dou Shiying was angry.

Little girl, refers to my daughter, doesn't it mean that the little daughter is good?

This pottery is heavy, is it a reader?

But when people asked about their faces, he had to stop talking, otherwise wouldn't it make people wonder if there was something strange in this!

He had no choice but to say: "I am empty under my knees, and I want to leave my eldest daughter at home, and I haven't promised a wife for a while." ”

When the pottery heard it, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Then Lord Dou wants to leave Ling Ai at home to recruit a son-in-law?" Or are you going to marry someone who meets you? ”

Dou Shiying couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he heard what he said, wondering if there was a suitable candidate for this pottery?

He said slowly: "It's because I didn't make up my mind, so I haven't said kiss to my eldest daughter......"

Tao listened and said excitedly: "Lord Dou, I want to be a matchmaker for Ling Ai, I don't know what Lord Dou wants?" "The smile is very kind.
