Dou Zhao said with a smile: "Mother-in-law was born in Jiangmen, and her health should be very good, why did her health become very poor after giving birth to the second master?" ”

Song Mo's expression darkened, and he said in a low voice: "My mother and my second uncle have the best relationship, Cousin Hanzhu is the widow of the second uncle, when my mother was pregnant with heaven, Cousin Hanzhu suddenly had chickenpox, and the high fever did not go away, my mother was so anxious that she made a special trip to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for medicine, and took care of Cousin Hanzhu with the second uncle's clothes for a few days.

Later, when my grandfather died, although the palace sent eunuchs and female officials to help organize the funeral, my mother couldn't let it go, and she had another fetal gas.

"When I was born, I was bleeding profusely and almost lost my life. Tian'en was also born very weak, landing for three days and still can't suck milk, grandmother was all on the mother, and couldn't take care of Tian'en, so she handed Tian'en to her father, who knew how to take care of the child, so he had to invite the eldest aunt to take care of Tian'en for two or three months.

"Mother also felt that she owed a lot of grace to heaven, and she was very indulgent to heaven's grace, and only begged him to be physically strong and grow up in peace and tranquility, and did not dare to ask for anything else," he said, smiling bitterly, "and overkill, and heaven's grace has become like this!" ”

More than 100 years after the founding of the National Dynasty, most of the children of the meritorious family are like Song Hanlin,

If there was no experience in her previous life, Dou Zhao felt that it would be good to have a little uncle like Song Han, but she was convinced that Song Mo would not kill his father and brother for no reason, and Song Yichun and Song Han would definitely have a problem.

But she doesn't have any evidence now.

Dou Zhao comforted Song Mo insincerely: "Ten fingers are still long, you can't ask the second master to be the same as you, right?" He has not been as good as you since he was a child, and he can grow up so peacefully. It's already God's favor, you can't get Longwangshu and provoke Heaven's wishes. ”

Song Mo took her shoulders and smiled, and kissed her cheek.

Dou Zhao changed the subject. Said: "You say, how about handing over the affairs of the Hanlin Academy to Boyan?" ”

"Boyan?" Song Mo was very surprised and hesitated. "Is that good?"

"I think he's a good fit." Dou Zhao said, "First, he has traveled a lot of places over the years, and he is a steady and serious person who is upright, chivalrous and smart, and he is a new science and technology scholar who comes forward to deal with Zhao Jiepei and Chen Songming, which is not so eye-catching, and can also make Zhao and Chen less vigilant." She said, helped Song Mo straighten his clothes, and said with a smile, "Second, I'm also a little selfish - if things are really as we guessed." With his status, status and eloquence. It is easier to impress the fifth uncle to make the right choice. so as not to drag the Dou family down. ”

Dou Qijun is also his own person no matter what.

Song Mo naturally preferred to use his own people.

He pondered, "Then I'll find an opportunity to talk to Boyan and probe his tone." ”

It has only been three years since the Liao Palace, and the time is getting more and more urgent.

Dou Zhao couldn't help urging Song Mo: "Then you tell him earlier." ”

Song Mo's heart was touched. said: "I don't know what the King of Liao has planned?" It's really worrying to wait like this indefinitely. ”

Dou Zhao reminded him: "He wants to make things happen." There's got to be a chance, right? As long as the emperor is healthy for a day, he will have no excuse to enter Beijing for a day. ”

Song Mo's eyes lit up as he listened.

The next day, he invited Dou Qijun to have dinner in the Zuixian Building, and then Song Mo entered the palace on duty, Dou Qijun came to see Dou Zhao with a pale face, but he sat in her flower hall and stopped talking, his face full of uneasiness.

Dou Zhao sighed, and simply got straight to the point: "This is just our speculation, but I'm afraid that in case it is true, there are a big family on both sides, and it is always better to prevent trouble before it happens." ”

Dou Qijun nodded, his expression was still a little dazed.

Dou Zhao asked Chen Qushui to send Dou Qijun home.

Halfway through the carriage, Dou Qijun came back to his senses, but when he looked up, he saw Chen Qushui's calm face under the shaking light, he couldn't help but be stunned, and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and outside the carriage were Duan Gongyi and Chen Xiaofeng's vigorous posture.

In vain, he realized that his fourth aunt and grandmother were very extraordinary, as if they had been prepared for today's Yiqiē a long time ago.

The thought flashed through him, and he couldn't help but laugh.

At that time, the fourth aunt was only too much, and the King of Liao had not yet opened the mansion, how could things be as he imagined.

I was really scared today, and I was a little cranky.

He thanked Chen Qushui with a smile, jumped out of the carriage, waved his hand at Chen Qushui freely, and strode into the house.

Chen Qushui looked at his back and smiled slightly, and told the coachman to go home.

Dou Zhao but Mrs. Jiang, Song Yichun became more and more interested in the old things.

After the Buddha's birthday, Dou Qijun was admitted to the Shu Jishi, and the palace rewarded the five poisonous sachets and the pills, Dou Zhao took advantage of Dou Shiying's rest and returned to the alleys of Jing'an Temple, in addition to sending the Dragon Boat Festival to his father, he also brought two bottles of the pills in the palace to his father.

When the girl came back to see him, Dou Shiying was naturally overjoyed, left her at home for lunch, checked Dou Zhao's words in the study, and rewarded her with two good Shoushan stone seals.

Dou Zhao smiled: "Daddy remembers clearly, he gave me the same thing every time." ”

Dou Shiying said triumphantly: "You have liked this since you were a child, why don't I remember." ”

Dou Zhao looked at the silver threads on Dou Shiying's sideburns, thought for a while, and said, "Are my father and the seventh wife just going to drag it like this?" Haven't you ever thought about finding someone by your side to take care of your food and daily life? ”

was asked by her daughter about her private affairs, and Dou Shiying looked a little wolf.

He coughed violently a few times, and said expectantly, "What did Yantang do?" Why didn't they come to pick you up? ”

Dou Zhao didn't want to go deeper, and said with a smile: "He was dragged to the Shenji Camp by Ma Youming, and he only came back when he was in charge of the lamp, I told him that he would go back early and asked him not to pick me up." ”

Dou Shiying thought of Dou Minglai.

He sighed secretly in his heart, and his interest in talking to Dou Zhao decreased sharply.

Dou Zhao thought that his father was tired, so he said a few words with him, and then got up to say goodbye.

Dou Shiying didn't force him to stay, and said, "Since Yantang doesn't come to pick you up, it's better for you to go back early." "Delivered her palanquin to the gate.

Because it's almost the Dragon Boat Festival. Jing'an Temple pilgrims are weaving, and the sedan chair man of the British Mansion is afraid of colliding with Dou Zhao, so he turns a corner and walks from the stone tablet alley behind Jing'an Temple. Who knew that there was a family in Shibei Hutong to marry a daughter-in-law. The sound of firecrackers was endless, and the sedan chair man had to bypass the stone tablet alley, walk from Fucheng Street to Xuanwu Street and cross Yuqiao Street.

The sedan chair swayed and walked forward.

Dou Zhao lifted the curtain and looked out in boredom, but saw the tall spire of Wanming Temple at a glance.

Her heart moved. said to Duan Gongyi next to the sedan chair: "I want to go to Wanming Temple to burn incense." ”

"That's not going to work!" Duan Gongyi said with a smile, "Today there are people everywhere who are incense, and you can't squeeze it now." If you really want to go and see, wait until I go back in the evening to discuss with Mr. Yan, and wait until we have greeted the host of Wanming Temple, and then accompany you to come over to offer incense. He added, "It's not that I've become more sophisticated when I have entered the British government in Kyoto, but that you are not the same as in the past, and you can't stand this burden." ”

Dou Zhao smiled slightly. "Or." Let's find a quiet place to sit next to Wanming Temple! I just have something for you to inquire about. ”

Duan Gongyi instructed the sedan chair driver to stop the sedan chair on the side of the road. sent someone to Daqian Station, found a small teahouse two streets away from Wanming Temple, and placed Dou Zhao in the private room of the small teahouse.

Dou Zhao said: "There is a family surnamed Li. A widowed mother with a son and daughter lived in the nearby Ertiao Hutong and moved away 17 years ago. Can you go and ask me about any of my old neighbors who know where they have moved? If someone asks, you say that a distant relative has come to take refuge, so don't attract the attention of others. ”

The Li family has lived here since the previous dynasty, and even if they moved away, those old neighbors would not be able to break off so cleanly. At the beginning, they may not be able to contact their old neighbors, but now that more than ten years have passed, maybe some old neighbors may know their whereabouts.

Duan Gongyi was suspicious, but he didn't ask anything and left.

Dou Zhao sat behind the bamboo curtain on the second floor of the teahouse and looked at the crowd around him.

No wonder Song Yichun would set up the golden house near this Wanming Temple, there is a street that specializes in selling rouge pollen, people come and go, and most of them are women, plus Wanming Temple often has female pilgrims to worship the Buddha, and it is also close to the Li family, whether it is Song Yichun or Li Miaoniang who goes in and out here, it will not be too noticeable.

She sat down and drank two cups of tea, and Duan Gongyi turned back.

His expression was a little stunned, and he said, "The neighbor said that since the daughter of the Li family died of a violent illness, the Li family sold the ancestral house and moved away. I asked where I had moved, and no one knew. However, the family who now lives in the ancestral house of the Li family seems to know the Li family very well, and asked me a lot of questions, and I saw that I was about to leak the stuffing, so I had to flee in the wilderness. He blushed and said, "Madam, I'm sorry, I didn't do what you told me to do." ”

Dou Zhao was a little surprised, and said, "Can you inquire about who lives in the Li family's ancestral house now?" ”

"Asked." Duan Gongyi said, "It is said that it is an old neighbor of the Li family for many years, and when he saw that their house was selling cheaply, he bought it." He also said that in the first two years, some people came to inquire about the Li family, but I didn't expect that after more than ten years, someone came to inquire about the Li family. ”

Dou Zhao was stunned for a moment and said, "Then have you ever asked who came to inquire about the Li family?" ”

"I asked." Duan Gongyi said embarrassedly, "But that family became suspicious of me, saying that Li's mother is from the capital, where are there relatives in Hebei...... I didn't dare to go any further. ”

It seems that this kind of thing has to be done by professionals!

Dou Zhao smiled and comforted him, and went home with some disappointment.

It's just that as soon as I stepped into the door, a little maid came: "Lord Chen of Jinyiwei sent his daughter-in-law to give you the Dragon Boat Festival gift, and the daughter-in-law is waiting outside the door, wanting to come in and say hello to you, do you see it or not?" ”

They finally found two skilled maids for themselves, and they still have to give this face.

Dou Zhao smiled: "Then let her in!" ”

The little guy smiled and said "yes", turned around and led someone in.

It's just to kowtow to her twice on behalf of Chen Jia and say a few festive words.

Dou Zhao saw that the daughter-in-law was good-looking, behaved in a measured manner, spoke politely and politely, and was a very stable person, and he had a good impression in his heart, and let people reward the daughter-in-law with two first-class Fenghong.
