Chapter 358: Spring Festival
Song Mo's words made Kuang Zhuoran and the others dumbfounded.
"Lord Shizi," Kuang Zhuoran said in a hesitant manner, "Are you saying that my father was deceived?" β
Dou Dechang and Dou Qijun also had this thought, they looked at Song Mo with burning eyes, wanting to hear what Song Mo had to say.
That kind of deferential appearance made Song Mo laugh.
"That's not it." He said, "I just think that their purpose is clearly to take over the Kuang family's property, and according to what I know about those chamberlains, they usually don't have the patience to run such an industry. Instead of begging for that Fan Shichou, it is better to pull Jiang Jie's back out, and with the relationship of the Dou family in Shilin, he has a greater grasp of turning the danger into a disaster. β
Kuang Zhuoran and the others lit up when they listened. Kuang Zhuoran even bowed to Dou Dechang: "Twelfth uncle, Boyan is about to participate in the Spring Festival, I'm afraid I have to ask you to help inquire about this matter." β
Although it was the first time for him and Song Mo to meet each other, Song Mo's sharpness made him extremely admired, but the distance between him and Song Mo was too far in terms of status and friendship, and he really couldn't open his mouth.
In the case that they couldn't find anyone, Dou Qijun's first thought was Dou Dechang, and Dou Dechang didn't know anything, just because it was Dou Qijun's order, he began to help find someone without saying a word, it can be seen that Dou Qijun and Dou Dechang not only have a good personal relationship, but also Dou Dechang is a person worthy of trust, so he had to turn to Dou Dechang for help.
And Song Mo and Dou Zhao saw that Kuang Zhuoran could still think of Dou Qijun when he was still in prison at home, and they couldn't help but think highly of Kuang Zhuoran. Song Mo even said to Dou Dechang and Dou Qijun: "I think you two don't interfere in this kind of thing, just leave it to me." He added, "Kuang Zhuoran, what's the matter with you." Just come to me! β
Kuang Zhuoran was overjoyed, thanked Song Mo and thanked Dou Dechang and Dou Qijun.
Song Mo's intervention was definitely much stronger than them stumbling around like headless flies.
Dou Qijun was happy to get Song Mo to intervene, and he also thanked Song Mo happily, and got up happily to say goodbye.
Kuang Zhuoran went back to the inn with him, but Dou Dechang stayed.
Although the Kuang family's affairs pulled out a big Tailin like Wang Yuan, it made his gossip heart burn like a raging fire.
He and Song Mo muttered: "I heard that Jin Wuwei hasn't had a holiday yet, you can't do everything yourself, right?" Why don't I run errands for you? β
Song Mo knew that his father-in-law intended to pass Dou Dechang to Xidou. Although this matter disappeared later, the father-in-law is not willing to take a concubine to this day, and he is even more bent on retiring the Wang family, and although the Wang family took the Wang family home, whenever the father-in-law solemnly came to the door to talk about it. The Wang family didn't answer, and they were afraid that this matter would be troubled for a few years. My father-in-law is already in his forties, and in a few years, even if I want to add Ding, it will be a little difficult, and I am afraid that in the end, I will have to pass by.
In terms of proximity, Dou Dechang is the best choice, not to mention that Dou Zhao grew up under the knees of the Ji family. He was happy to be close to Dou Dechang: "If you don't delay your homework, you can help me run errands!" β
Now Song Mo's chickens and dogs are thieves, what kind of people don't have them, where do you need Dou Dechang to do it. But. Since Dou Dechang was curious, he had a few things for Dou Dechang to do, so he took Dou Dechang to play.
Dou Dechang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "There has been a holiday in the school for a long time. Classes will not start until the Lantern Festival has passed, so there will be no delay in homework. Don't delay your homework. β
"That's good!" Song Mo smiled and asked him to meet him at the gate of the palace tomorrow morning.
Dou Dechang left happily.
Dou Zhao asked Song Mo: "Do you really think that someone took Fan Shichou's tiger skin dance banner in this matter?" β
"I don't know yet." Song Mo said very calmly and rationally, "You can't be sure until you check it." β
Dou Zhao couldn't help but pout.
Song Mo smiled and twisted Dou Zhao's cheeks and went to the clean room.
Dou Zhao thought of Wang Yuan from Wang Ge.
To say that Wang Yuan did not participate in the palace change in her previous life, she would not believe it anyway.
But why did Wang Yuan think that King Liao would definitely succeed?
When did he take refuge in the King of Liao?
What conditions did the King of Liao use to impress Wang Yuan?
Dou Zhao thought of the things that Gu Yu had brought from the treasury of the King of Liao, and thought of Zhang Zhiqi of the Risheng Silver Building......
Rebellion requires money.
And it's a lot of money.
Until it succeeds, it's like a bottomless pit.
I can't fill up as much money as I can't fill.
And the Kuang family's annual income of 30,000 taels of silver, and it is the kind of selling and buying that has already been made and only makes money without losing money, which is exactly what the King of Liao needs.
Dou Zhao has always wanted to warn King Song Moliao about his ambitions, but he has never had the right time.
She vaguely felt that if this matter really had something to do with Wang Yuan, maybe it would be an opportunity for both her and Song Mo.
While closely paying attention to the movements of the Kuang family, Dou Zhao began to arrange the affairs of the British Mansion for the New Year.
The sacrifice of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, in addition to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the harem, the big pilgrimage on the first day of the new year, the second and third days of the new year to go to relatives, the fourth and fifth family banquets of the first year, the spring banquet from the sixth to the Lantern Festival, from the list of guests to the utensils for drinking tea, everything must change with the scene, the Spring Festival of the British Mansion, like the British Mansion, which has to participate in the royal celebrations and entertain colleagues, has a lot of things, compared with the busyness of the New Year in one state and one government, and it is far from being comparable to ordinary official eunuchs.
Fortunately, Dou Zhao is familiar with this, and no matter what happens, it can't be difficult for her.
The grandmothers in charge first saw Dou Zhao's methods, and then saw Dou Zhao's housekeeper's ability, and they all dared not underestimate themselves. Dou Zhao let out the wind again, saying that he had no intention of making a big move, as long as he was competent, he would continue to stay, and if he was incompetent, no matter who it was, he would take it for me. None of the housekeepers wanted to be the chickens that scared the monkeys, and they worked hard to keep their errands. For a while, Dou Zhao's words were more spiritual than the holy decree, and she only worked hard in two days to arrange everything properly.
Dou Zhao took out the silver that was close to himself, and the powerful housekeeper and mother were rewarded with ten taels of silver each, and if there was no mistake in doing things, each person was rewarded with two taels of silver.
Time. The British government praised Dou Zhao like a bodhisattva.
Song Yichun felt as if he had been slapped in the face.
He so easily handed over the power to preside over the British Mansion to Dou Zhao, in addition to being forced by the form, more importantly, he wanted to see that Dou Zhao, who had never had experience in managing the Imperial Mansion, was anxious and thankless.
Unexpectedly, he instead fulfilled Dou Zhao.
Song Yichun was angry and annoyed, on the way to the Bohe Hall for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he kept a straight face, and did not glance at Dou Zhao and the two mouths out of the corner of his eyes.
Song Modang didn't see it, and Dou Zhao wouldn't take it to heart.
It's like a defeated man. He has no power to parry, who cares if he is happy or angry!
The main hall of the Baohe Hall sits the emperor's important military ministers and royal relatives, and the apse is respected by the queen mother, sitting the queen mother and the women inside and outside.
Dou Zhao has no intention of having anything to do with the Queen Mother, the Queen or the Crown Princess. Sitting there honestly, occasionally whispering a few words to Mrs. Hou Shizi of Changxing and Duchess of Xingguo, showing that he was decent, and there was nothing brilliant about it.
But there are some things that you can't hide if you want to.
The palace maid beside the crown princess sent a big welcome pillow to Dou Zhao on the order of the crown princess, and said in a low voice: "The crown princess said." Let you cushion so that you don't have back pain. β
Dou Zhao thanked him quietly, but when he looked up, he found that he had become the focus of the audience.
She hurriedly lowered her head.
But the Queen Mother still pointed at her and said, "This is a God-given daughter-in-law, right?" β
The queen mother smiled: "Your old eyes are still so good - she is the wife of the British Duke, Da Dou." β
The Queen Mother said with interest: "Who is the little Dou clan?" β
"Mrs. Hou of Jining Hou's Mansion." The queen said with a smile, "She is a half-sister with the British princess." Mrs. Gongshizi of England is the eldest daughter of Lord Dou Wan Yuan of Hanlin Academy, and Mrs. Hou of Jining Mansion is the second daughter. β
The Wei family is not qualified to participate in such a banquet, so Dou Ming is not in the palace.
"And that kind of thing?" The Queen Mother was even more interested, "Who is the matchmaker of the Da Dou family?" Who is Xiao Dou's matchmaker? β
"Xiao Dou's family has been ordered since childhood. Da Dou was personally favored by the British duke. The queen mother glanced at Dou Zhao and said with a smile.
The Empress Dowager looked at Dou Zhao carefully. smiled: "This kid is good-looking." At the next court meeting, you can point out that little Dou clan to me. β
The queen mother smiled and said "yes", and said: "There is another matter, the ancestor, you must not know - Da Dou's pregnancy, and the birth date of the crown princess is one after the other, but it is only a few days apart." β
"It's a good rush!" At the age of the Queen Mother, she liked to see Tian Ding imported, and gave Dou Zhao a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads, a pair of peace buckles, a few plain silk for children to make clothes, and a piece of carved silk for children's quilting.
Dou Zhao stepped forward to thank him.
The Queen Mother smiled and waved her hand, signaling her to step back, bowing her head and discussing with the Queen Mother which play to order. And just now, she only cared about laughing with the queen mother and the queen mother, and the lady of Changxinghou, who was ignored by others, was obviously enthusiastic about Dou Zhao, and the Duchess of Xingguo, who looked a little wooden, also looked at her twice.
Dou Zhao nodded kindly at Duchess Xingguo.
In her previous life, even if the Marquis of Jining was reinvigorated in her hands, there was still a certain gap compared with the nobles of the Xingguo Mansion, and she had no friendship with the Duchess of Xingguo, but she knew that after the Duke of Xingguo was deprived of the British Mansion, with his low-key and forbearant attitude, he waited for the fall of the Marquis of Changxing and became the first person among the nobles of Kyoto.
Because of the reward of the Queen Mother, after the first day of the new year, Dou Zhao first thanked the queen, and then went to Cining Palace to thank him.
Du Ming was anxiously waiting for Song Mo in the small study.
Seeing Dou Zhao and Song Mo coming over together, he saluted respectfully and said, "Lord Shizi, madam, I found out that Jiang Jie turned out to be the nephew of Dai Jian's wife and cousin, and the protΓ©gΓ© of Mu Chuan Mu Ge, a waiter of the Ministry of Works and a scholar of the Middle Pole Palace. β
