Chapter 416: The Wild Goose
What's going on?
Dou Zhao was stunned for a moment.
Song Mo had already handed her the letter in his hand.
Dou Zhao took the letter, read a few words in a hurry, and his face was already full of consternation, and said: "The fifth uncle actually said that he is now making a difficult living in Liaodong, so let you see that the eldest uncle took good care of you in the past, and gave him a few thousand taels of silver?" β
The emperor did not put the Jiang family to death.
Although most of the Jiang family's property was confiscated, the sacrificial fields and ancestral homes in Haozhou were not damaged. When Jiang Lizhu got married, Song Mo was afraid that the Jiang family would be stretched thin in terms of money, so he asked Dou Zhao to privately supplement the Jiang family with 5,000 taels of silver. The fourth wife of the Jiang family not only declined, but also told her euphemistically that although the Jiang family was not as good as before, when Mrs. Mei died, some things had already been arranged, including the fact that the girls of the Jiang family were each married with 1,000 taels of silver, and the sons of the Jiang family married daughters-in-law each with 2,000 taels of silver, which was richer than the average rich family marrying their daughters and daughters-in-law, how could Jiang Sunbai be short of silver? Still open your mouth to ask Song Mo for it?
She was puzzled.
Song Mo said in a low voice: "When I was young, my uncle once told me to write a family letter with "Poems of a Thousand Families". Literally a meaning, literally another meaning. β
He told SΓΉ Dou Zhao in detail what he thought of the letter.
Dou Zhao studied for a long time before he understood a general idea, and he was dizzy when he understood a line of words. She couldn't help but say, "Or do you directly tell my fifth uncle what he wrote in the letter?" It's never too late for me to think about it when I have time. β
Song Mo said: "The fifth uncle said that the King of Liao is ambitious, let us be careful." β
It seems that my guess is correct. The King of Liao has gradually bared his fangs.
Dou Zhao's expression was solemn.
"The fifth uncle has been outstanding in the guard in recent years, and the king of Liao wants to let the fifth uncle lead the troops at that time, and after the promise is completed, he will show the grievances for the Jiang family. The fifth uncle thought and thought. Decided to take refuge in the King of Liao. But I was afraid that things would fall out and affect me, so I wrote this letter to me. He also said that in a few days he would send someone to ask me for money, and he would say that if it had not been for my mother's hard work. How could the British government have the glory and wealth it has today? Now the people of the Jiang family are suffering in Liaodong, but the Song family is still well-fed, how can there be such a cheap thing? If you don't take a hundred thousand taels to compensate the Jiang family, this matter is not over! He also instructed me to rather end up in the name of being stingy and stingy, but also to take the opportunity to draw a line with him, in case the crown prince ascends the throne, I can finally dissociate myself from him......"
Dou Zhao was very unhappy when he heard this, and said, "If the King of Liao is defeated, what will happen to those women and children in Haozhou?" Do they want to let them experience the misery of raiding their homes again? β
Song Mo smiled bitterly. Said: "People are under low eaves. Had to bow his head. The fifth uncle was under the rule of the King of Liao. I'm afraid I can't help but refuse from my fifth uncle. β
"Can you think of another way?" Dou Zhao said, "The Jiang family has reached such a situation, but it can still gain the respect of its former colleagues and the old. It's just because of the loyal and brave name of 'loyal to the king and serving the country', he took refuge in the king of Liao. Even if the King of Liao ascends the throne in the future, he will be a chaotic minister and a thief, and the king of the country, the Jiang family will follow him, and his reputation will be over! If there is anything to do with the Jiang family in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to shelter again! β
In the previous life, the King of Liao used Song Mo; In this life, he used Jiang Baisun.
She couldn't help but sigh for the Jiang family.
"How could I not know?" Song Mo said, "It's just that the conditions of King Liao are too tempting. The eldest uncle died so miserably, how could the fifth uncle be calm and without a trace of resentment? And even if the fifth uncle managed to reject the King of Liao, would the prince believe that the fifth uncle was not in cahoots with the King of Liao? β
"Can't!" Dou Zhao shook his head helplessly.
Could it be that he just watched Jiang Baisun get into danger?
Dou Zhao felt a little sad in his heart.
Song Mo was wandering around the room.
Dou Zhao didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't dare to disturb and sat quietly aside.
After a while, Song Mo stopped and sat down beside Dou Zhao.
Dou Zhao hurriedly re-served him a cup of warm tea.
Song Mo drank tea and said, "It seems that I have no choice but to test the prince!" β
Dou Zhao's eyes widened.
Song Mo said in a low voice: "The prince has always looked like he has no desires, and I can't figure out what he thinks. If he knew about the ambition of the King of Liao, would he deal with the King of Liao in a panic or quietly and secretly arranged...... Now, the King of Liao has hit the head of the Jiang family, and he must covet the things left by the eldest uncle, even if we want to get rid of it, it will be difficult, it is better to see clearly who is stronger and who is weak between the prince and the King of Liao as soon as possible, and it is not too late to see the opportunity to act when the time comes! β
It's time to stand in line in advance!
Dou Zhao couldn't help but secretly slander the King of Liao.
The Jiang family has been ruined by the emperor, why do you bother to roast them on the fire? No wonder the previous life used Song Mo to be unrelenting.
Dou Zhao had no choice but to say: "I'm afraid that King Liao's chances of victory are greater!" β
Who knew that Song Mo smiled and said: "It's too early to say all this, let's take a look at the situation first!" β
That's fine!
Even if you finally take refuge in the King of Liao, don't get too close to the King of Liao, as long as you don't provoke his suspicion.
It can be seen that this plan can never catch up with the changes.
thought that with the status of the British government, they could watch the fire from the other side, but who knew that they would eventually be involved in the seizure of the heir.
Dou Zhao couldn't help but let out a long breath.
Song Mo comforted her: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion in this matter." Regardless of whether the fifth uncle takes refuge in the King of Liao or not, as long as the King of Liao has objections, the fifth uncle and I will turn against each other on the surface, after all, I don't know who will kill the deer now, and I will not let you and the child suffer because of foolishness. β
"If only you knew!" Dou Zhao had no choice but to tie up Song Mo like this, "Since ancient times, those who have participated in the succession have nothing to do with success or failure. β
Song Mo smiled: "I promise!" β
Dou Zhao was still very uneasy in his heart, and spit on Chen Qushui.
Chen Qushui said with a smile: "There are so many people around His Royal Highness the Prince, and the prince has never been close to His Royal Highness the Prince, even if he wants to take refuge in His Royal Highness the Prince, he must have His Royal Highness the Prince to trust the prince!" I agree with the approach of the prince, first wait and see, then say, it really can't be done. can only lose the pawn to protect the handsome. β
This pawn refers to Jiang Baisun, right?
Dou Zhao's heart was slightly calm.
At noon, Ruo Zhu replied to her: "Fortunately, Mrs. gave me an order, if I hadn't sent some trauma medicine to the little maid who raised a cat in the second master's house, I am afraid that she would have died a long time ago." Know that I am from the lady's house. She cried profusely, saying that Madame's great kindness could only be repaid in the next life. He also said that the second master fed the cat every day when he ate. Whatever the second master eats, he will give the cat what to eat, so that the cat always likes to squat under the kang table, Qi Xia also once told her to be careful, don't let the cat always run to the kang, be careful to knock over the teacup and burn the second master, blame herself for not taking Qi Xia's words to heart, and this is what happened. β
Dou Zhao had something on his mind. Where to be patient to listen to this. said: "The little maid was sent to the grange?" β
"Hmm!" Ruozhu said. "I can't save a leg, but I can save a life."
Dou Zhao quickly put this matter behind him, and Song Mo came back in the evening. She instructed Ganlu to use the chicken soup that had been stewed for a long time and a bowl of noodles for Song Mo to supper.
Song Mo tasted the chicken soup and felt that it was very delicious. Scooped a spoonful with a spoon and gave it to Dou Zhao: "It's delicious, you can taste it too." β
Dou Zhao is now eating less and eating more, she just drank a bowl before Song Mo came back, but she didn't want to defeat Song Mo's happiness, so she took a sip of the spoon.
Song Mo said, "It's delicious, right?" β
Dou Zhao nodded with a smile.
Song Mo scooped another spoonful, blew it on the side of his mouth, and handed it to Dou Zhao: "Take another sip." β
Dou Zhao looked at the steaming chicken soup, and suddenly the scene of Song Han sitting on the kang table and putting his favorite dishes into a small plate and feeding them to the cat suddenly appeared in his mind.
There was a "buzz" in her head, and her face changed drastically.
Song Mo was startled and hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" Shou Gu? What happened to you? Is there something uncomfortable? β
The expression was panicked.
Dou Zhao let out a long breath and came back to his senses, but he couldn't eat anything anymore.
She asked Song Mo with a white face: "I seem to have heard you say that your mother-in-law was sick in bed before she died, and you went to Liaodong at that time, was it Song Hanshi's illness?" β
Dou Zhao called his brother's name directly.
Song Mo Neng felt that something was wrong, and his expression couldn't help but become stern, and he nodded in response, "Yes".
"I remember you once said that when your mother-in-law was alive, she liked to have cats, but when you came back, those cats were gone?"
Song Mo nodded.
Dou Zhao said softly: "Song Han raises cats, and when he eats, he will feed the food he likes to eat to the cat first, and then ......eat it himself."
Song Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze was as sharp as a blade, and his expression became stiff: "What do you want to say?" β
Dou Zhao stroked Song Mo's hand.
Song Mo's hands were trembling.
"Didn't he have two more cats?" Dou Zhao said, "I don't know if he still has such a habit now?" If the cat is gone, will he find another dog to feed it? β
Song Mo closed his eyes and opened them for a long time.
But when he opened it, there was no trace of fluctuation in his eyes, and it was as cold as a pool of well water.
He instructed Wu Yi: "Tell Lu Ming to come to me immediately!" β
Wu Yi trembled and retreated.
Song Mo no longer had an appetite.
Ganlu saw that there was half a bowl of chicken soup left, and was about to ask Song Mo if he wanted to eat something else, when he looked up and saw Dou Zhao winking at her.
She quickly stepped back lightly.
After Lu Ming left, Song Mo went back to the house to rest, but he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.
Dou Zhao hugged Song Mo's arm.
Song Mo quieted down and whispered in the dark, "Noisy with you?" Why don't I go sleep on the kang? β
"Nope." Dou Zhao hugged Song Mo's arm tighter, "I can't sleep either!" β
Neither spoke.
The inner room is quiet.
Song Mo suddenly laughed, put his hand on her high stomach gently, and said, "You said, the child has encountered so many things in your belly, will it be a lot of thinking when you are born?" β
"Possibly!" Dou Zhao smiled, "Fortunately, it's the first child, whether it's the eldest daughter or the eldest son, such a character is very good." β
Song Mo sighed and hugged Dou Zhao sideways.
It's too hot.
Thinking of Song Mo's depressed feelings, Dou Zhao endured it.
Not only that, these days she goes to bed early and gets up early, and she is no longer used to staying up late, so she falls asleep in a daze.
Half-asleep and half-awake, she seemed to hear Song Mo say, "It's good that you can marry me."
Dou Zhao couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and wanted to ask him "Really", but his eyelids seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't open them.
She muttered a few words inexplicably and fell asleep.
