Through the talent show, Dou's plan achieved its goal.

First, I saw Guanyin's outstanding talent and extraordinary intelligence.

The second is to let Gao Qiuniang and Du Shi see that Li Shimin is also a dragon and phoenix among people.

Seeing that the game between Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji had also ended, Dou Shi smiled and shouted to Guanyin:

"Auntie, come over and let my aunt take a look."

Guanyin walked up to Dou Shi, curtsied, and said, "What is the matter with the aunt calling the maid?" ”

Dou Shi hugged Guanyin in his arms and said, "It's okay, I just want to see why our maid is so cute." ”

Then he looked at Guanyin carefully, as if he couldn't see enough.

Guanyin snuggled sensibly in Dou's arms, looking directly at Dou's gaze, revealing trust and love.

Dou looked at Guanyin, looked at it for a while, and said to her lovingly:

"Auntie is so good-looking, let's go play with Brother Shimin and them."

------

Seeing Guanyin join the children, Dou said to Gao Qiuniang:

"I think Awen is a blessed face, don't let her be promised easily."

Gao Qiuniang heard Dou say this, and she was secretly happy in her heart, thinking that she had taken a fancy to Guanyin.

But Gao Qiuniang was inconvenient to make her words clear.

She pretended not to know the hint in Dou's words, and said:

"The child is still young, how can you tell whether there is a blessing or not. If Madame knew which family had the right child, she would be able to talk about it. ”

Dou leaned over to Gao Qiuniang and whispered, "I think there is a person who is very suitable, and I don't know if Madame likes it?" ”

Gao Qiuniang said: "Madame, you might as well say it and let the concubine listen." ”

What a smart person Dou is, she saw Gao Qiuniang's gaze in the past two days, and she never left and right from Li Shimin.

As the saying goes: The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it.

That look can be revealed in the eyes.

A woman's intuition is the most accurate.

They often decide things by emotion and intuition.

Dou is sure in his heart that Gao Qiuniang likes Li Shimin.

With such a judgment, Dou boldly said to Gao Qiuniang: "What do you think of the people, can you be your little man?" ”

After speaking, he looked at Gao Qiuniang with a smile on his face, his eyes were not instantaneous, waiting for Gao Qiuniang's answer.

Gao Qiuniang did not shy away from it, because this time she arranged to get together in Chengnan Manor, just for the sake of the two children, so she said bluntly:

"I also like Shimin's child, but the two of them are still too young. Otherwise, stay until tonight, and you will come to my lodgings, and we will have a good discussion. Everyone has been busy all morning, so it is better to have lunch first. ”

Seeing that Gao Qiuniang did not object, Dou put a heart in his stomach and responded:

"Just listen to Madame's arrangement, have lunch first, everyone rest in the afternoon, and I'll go to you in the evening."

------

The two have decided, and Gao Qiuniang said to the children who were playing:

"Today, you've done a good job, so we'll have lunch later. In the afternoon, the time is up to you. Tomorrow, I'll take you to practice horseback riding. The day after tomorrow, we will go out together. Do you think it's a good arrangement? ”

When the children heard that they could ride horses and go out to play wildly, they cheered and cheered one by one.

------

In the afternoon, Gao Qiuniang and Du discussed together how to reply to Mrs. Dou in the evening.

Yuhan knew that the two ladies had something important to say, so she shouted for the fragrance of books and went to the verandah at the door to do needlework.

Gao Qiuniang said to Du Shi: "Sister-in-law, I haven't talked about the children's marriage, how do you say I should reply to the Duchess at night?" ”

Du Shi said: "In terms of children's marriage, we pay attention to 'raising the head to marry a daughter, bowing the head to marry a wife', which is a rule handed down from ancient times. ”

Gao Qiuniang was puzzled: "What is 'raise your head to marry a daughter, bow your head to marry a wife'?" ”

Du Shi said: "Now some people say 'raise your head to marry a daughter', when marrying a daughter, you should look up with your eyes to find a better family background; Actually, this statement is wrong. ”

Gao Qiuniang said: "Then what does it really mean?" ”

Du Shi said: "The real meaning of this sentence, 'raising your head to marry a girl' means that when a woman marries a daughter, she should hold her head high, be reserved, and don't bow down to the man." ”

"'Bow your head and marry a wife' means that the man should keep a low profile when marrying a daughter-in-law. Anyway, the female family of the family finally raised their daughter, and now she has become a member of the male family, and she will give birth to children for the male family in the future, and she will inevitably feel a sense of loss in her heart. If at this time, the man is arrogant, it will cause the woman's unhappiness. ”

Gao Qiuniang nodded and said, "That's what I'm talking about." ”

Du Shi continued: "If before marriage, the female family begs the male family in a low voice, the male family will have a contempt for it, will look down on the female family, and will not cherish this marriage." ”

"If you think about it, if before marriage, the male family looks down on the female family. After getting married, what status will the daughter have in the man's family? ”

Gao Qiuniang felt very reasonable, and nodded frequently while listening.

Du Shi said: "The male family bows his head and marries a wife, which is actually a respect for the female family. ”

"Show the sincerity of your own family, let the female family feel that the daughter is married to the right family, and feel that she can entrust her daughter's life to the male family, and she will be at ease with her daughter's future life."

------

Listening to Du's idiosyncrasies, Gao Qiuniang benefited a lot and said:

"Sister-in-law doesn't say, I really don't know this. Doesn't that mean? Even if we are very fond of this child, we can't show that we can't wait. lest the Dou family feel that we seem to be in a hurry to marry the maid to his family. ”

Du Shi smiled: "That's it, you can take the shelf, but you can't show that you are rejecting people thousands of miles away." Otherwise, if the Duchess is scared, the marriage between the two families will not be negotiated. ”

"If this marriage doesn't work out, the second brother may be angry with you."

After saying that, he laughed.

Gao Qiuniang pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister-in-law came to make fun of my sister again, how can I be as stupid as you say?" ”

Then, the two of them calculated how to talk to Dou Shi in the evening.

Gao Qiuniang and Du Shi discussed for an hour, and Du Shi left the upper room and returned to his residence.

------

After dinner, Dou and Gao Qiuniang came to the upper room together.

The two sat down on the Luohan bed.

Yuhan poured a glass of buttermilk for each of them, and went to the door to guard.

Dou and Gao Qiuniang gossiped for a while, leading the topic to the marriage of Li Shimin and Guanyin.

When it comes to marriage, it's about the right family.

Only when the marriage is the right one, the husband and wife will have less contempt for each other.

If the conditions of one side are too different than the other.

Then, the bad party has no status at home, and there is no weight in speaking.

Over time, one becomes a vassal of the other.

Even if the family is stable, there is no happiness at all.

It is also possible that the happiness of one party is based on the suffering of the other.

The so-called love can make a marriage permanent is pure deceptive nonsense.

Love, which is nothing more than the primitive impulse of human nature, will not last long.

After the two got married, they fell into the real life of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Love will fade its divine light and be eroded beyond recognition by firewood, rice, oil and salt.

A marriage that is sustained by love will eventually end in tragedy.

Marriage is not maintained by love. Love is saved by marriage.

So, don't just believe in love, that's often the beginning of one tragedy after another.

------

The Mansion of the Tang Kingdom and the Mansion of the Eldest Sun General can be said to be a good match.

From the perspective of the family, the Guogong Mansion is the Guanlong family, a relative of the emperor and the country; The Mansion of the Eldest Sun General is the imperial family of the former dynasty and the imperial family.

In terms of actual official positions, Changsun Sheng is the third rank, Li Yuan is the fourth rank, and Changsun Sheng is higher than Li Yuan.

In terms of the identities of the two ladies, Gao Qiuniang is a descendant of the Northern Qi royal family, and Dou is a descendant of the Northern Zhou royal family.

The status of the two families is basically the same, so there is no question of who clings to whom and who despises whom. Equality in family status and psychological balance.

------

As the head of the male family, Dou should take the initiative in marriage, she said with a smile:

"Auntie, this kid, I really like it, you can't help but agree to what I said in the morning."

Gao Qiuniang, as the woman's parent, just wants to throw out the problem and let the other party solve it.

The solution to all problems must be provided by the other party.

Gao Qiuniang said: "I wonder if Mrs. knows?" The previous time the prince of the country brought the people of the world to my mansion and asked my general to instruct me on the art of war and martial arts. ”

Dou said: "I know about this, and my husband and I hope that the general can agree." ”

Gao Qiuniang continued: "My general is very fond of the people, and he has agreed with the prince of the country to take the time to instruct the people in martial arts and the art of war. ”

"But if the two families get married, it's not easy to deal with. How can there be a reason why Langzi has not married, but often goes to Yue's house? Wouldn't it make people laugh when it was spread out? ”

Dou Shi thought for a while and said, "I didn't think of this, it's really difficult to do, you let me think about it." ”

Gao Qiuniang deliberately embarrassed Dou Shi and said: "Otherwise, don't let my general guide the martial arts and art of war of the people of the world." ”

Dou Shi hurriedly said: "This is not good, the cultivation of the people of the world is also a major matter, this is what I discussed with my husband, I can't give up halfway." ”

Dou's answer was expected by Gao Qiuniang.

So, she threw out another choice: "Then give up this marriage." ”

When Dou heard this, he was a little anxious and said, "This is even more infeasible. If you don't look for your maid, where will the people of the world find such a good match? This is a godsend, how can you miss it again? ”

Gao Qiuniang snickered and said, "You can't have both fish and bear's paws, can Mrs. have a plan for both?" ”

------

Dou picked up the buttermilk from the top of the table, sipping and thinking.

His hands kept moving the bowl, and suddenly he stopped and said:

"Otherwise, the parents of both sides will first set the marriage of the two, and not let outsiders and children know about it first. When Shimin and Ah Wan are older, they will find three media and six certificates to formally discuss marriage. ”

"If outsiders don't know, they won't gossip. Children don't know and don't feel embarrassed to walk around each other. ”

Gao Qiuniang didn't seem to agree with this, and said: "The child's marriage is not the slightest hasty. Otherwise, it will be a lifetime mistake for the children. ”
