Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 130 Dou Qiongying
In Wancheng's Taishou Mansion, Chen Qiu is worried about what the two female guests in the living room are asking for! These two female guests are things he doesn't want to offend and can't afford to offend.
One of them is the Lord of Xuanmiaoguan Chunlong, whose status is unspeakably expensive, and today she introduced someone to ask Chen Qiu for help.
The other is also a female Taoist, named Dou Qiongying. Maybe few people know about her nowadays, but his brother is the famous former general Dou Wu.
Back then, Dou Wu and Chen Fan conspired to kill the eunuchs around the little emperor Liu Hong, but they didn't want the matter to be exposed, so the eunuchs fought back.
In the end, Chen Fan was killed in prison, his family was exiled to Bijing County, and his clan, protΓ©gΓ©s, and former subordinates were dismissed and imprisoned.
And Dou Wu was besieged, and after committing suicide, he was also beheaded in Luoyang Duting. His clansmen, guests, and in-laws were killed.
The female was exiled to Bijing County, Ninan County, far away. What Dou Qiongying asked for today was to ask Chen Qiu to send someone to take care of her relatives in Bijing County.
"The female Taoist heard that the lord of the mansion recently took in the homeless people and taught them the secret method of Taixu, and then sent them to all the counties and counties in the world, so the female dao begged the prince to send some wanderers who had learned the secret method to Bijing County, and by the way, take care of the relatives who are still alive in the female dao." Chen Qiu really had a headache about this, although he was extremely sympathetic to Dou Wu's experience, but he didn't want to have anything to do with the Dou family.
Now Cao Jie and Wang Fu, the middle attendants, are the most favored by Liu Hong, and their power in the imperial court is extremely great, if they know that they are involved with the orphans of the Dou family, it is estimated that even their father-in-law Cheng Huang will not be able to save themselves.
But if he ignores it and spreads it, he Chen Qiu is estimated to be despised by the scholars again. Since the disaster of the party, the scholar class has been constantly suppressed by eunuchs, so many of the children of the scholar clan are proud of not being recruited by the imperial court.
Originally, he was a person who tended to be inflammatory, but if he was indifferent to Dou Qiongying's request, he would really be infamous.
Therefore, Chen Qiu had to sigh and said: "Dao Chang is already an outsider, why should he pay attention to the people in this red dust." Dou Qiongying lowered her eyes and said quietly: "The avenue is ruthless, how can people be ruthless!" The Nudao family was wiped out, and there was nothing to be done, if it turned a blind eye to the relatives in distress, even if it was a glimpse of the avenue, what was the use? Chen Qiu was forced by her to have no choice but to reveal a little-known news.
"Today, in front of the county lord of Chunlong, I have a top-secret news about your family, I want to inform you that the court is secretive about this matter, and this mansion has committed a taboo in the court for you, you two, don't spread it in the future."
"Lord Fujun, please say, today's matter, if the female Tao leaks half a sentence, heaven and earth will abandon it." Dou Qiongying swore an oath.
Immediately, the county lord of Chunlong also swore an oath: "But please rest assured that Chen Fujun can hear this, and she must hide it in her heart, if she violates this word, her Dao heart will be ignorant and cannot be self-evident." Chen Qiu nodded with satisfaction, cultivators attach great importance to oaths, and they don't swear easily.
Since the two of them swore an oath, they would keep their oath. So he whispered to Dou Qiongying: "When your brother Dou Wu was killed, your cousin Dou Tong was guarding Yanmen Pass, and after hearing the news, he led his clan and tribe to flee to Mobei. Later, he sheltered the old Xiongnu and some local weak tribes, and established a mixed tribe of Xiongnu, Xianbei and Qiang and Han in Mobei, called 'Wuluhui', and Dou Tong was the leader of the tribe, and the Hu people in the north called him the prince. After Dou Qiongying heard this, she was stunned, and then muttered to herself: "'No deer back', no way back!" It's all come to this point, and you're still thinking about what to do when you come back, isn't it good to be a carefree prince in a place outside the Saiwai? Chen Qiu and Chunlong Junshou glanced at each other, but they didn't disturb her thinking about things.
I don't know how long it took, Dou Qiongying came back to her senses, and she first thanked Chen Qiu.
"Thank you Lord Fujun for telling Nu Dao these secrets, since there are still Dou clan people alive, Nu Dao is finally at ease, and she won't be too ashamed of her ancestors." Then she spoke again: "Now the female road is only concerned about the relatives of Bijing County, I heard that Bijing County is extremely hot all year round, I don't know how the life of my sister-in-law and sister is?" If the Lord of the Mansion agrees to send someone to take care of them, the female Taoist is willing to pray for the Emperor of the Mansion every day. As she spoke, she seemed to be stunned again, and whispered to herself: "As for the niece of the Queen Mother in the palace, let her fend for herself, it's also that my brother has spoiled her too much since she was a child, causing her to do things without thinking about the consequences, not only harming herself, but also affecting her relatives." Chen Qiu heard Dou Qiongying say this, he really didn't know what to say, he spent so much time, and he also took the risk to tell the secrets of the court, but he didn't expect that in the end, Dou Qiongying still didn't change his original intention and begged him for help, which made him quite annoyed.
Just when Chen Qiu was hesitating, Steward Wang suddenly came in and said: "Lord Qiqi, Wu Yong in Fuwang asks to see!" "In fact, this king is also very discerning, in the past, he didn't dare to disturb Chen Qiu when he was feasting.
But today is obviously different, and he, the sovereign, has encountered a tricky matter that he can't get rid of. Therefore, when a servant spread the news that Wu Yong was asking to see him at the door, he hurriedly brought Wu Yong.
"Let him in," Chen Qiu's eyes lit up, and an idea came to his mind,
"Maybe you can let this kid Wu Yong do this!" Thinking of this, Chen Qiu deliberately sighed and said: "Presumably Dou Daogu also knows that the current situation of this mansion is very embarrassing, and now that the eunuchs are in charge, as long as there are officials who do not obey their wishes, they will be dismissed." This government still needs to help the homeless, and now it is also lacking in strength! Then, without waiting for Dou Qiongying to speak, he said again: "What Dou Daogu asked for may be entrusted to this Wu Yong." β
"Who is Wu Yong? This name sounds familiar, who is his disciple? What's so special about it? Dou Qiongying asked suspiciously.
Originally, she was a little disappointed that Chen Qiu refused to request, but when she heard him say this, she couldn't help but ignite hope again.
Before Chen Qiu could speak, the county lord of Chunlong, who was sitting on the side, smiled and said: "You are really forgetful now, after you drank Taixu tea not long ago, didn't you still think about seeing others and sitting and talking?" How can you forget it in a blink of an eye! β
"Is that Wu Yong who is too void in the fugue?" Dou Qiongying asked eagerly. The county lord of Chunlong nodded and said, "It's not him, is there another person who makes Chen Fujun so respected?" While the two were talking, Wu Yong was led into the living room by Steward Wang.
Dou Qiongying, who was still full of expectations, was suddenly disappointed when she saw that Wu Yong was still a child.
Wu Yong walked into the living room and found that not only Taishou Chen Qiu was there, but also two women in Taoist robes were also there, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then found that one of them was still the county lord of Chunlong that he had met once.
Immediately, he walked in front of the county lord of Chunlong and said: "The kid has seen the county lord, the county lord has a long life, and he will always be young!" β
"I didn't expect to see you for a few days, but you learned to talk nicely." The county lord of Chunlong nodded at him lightly and giggled.
Wu Yong wanted to praise her a few words, but when she heard Chen Qiu's light cough in her ears, she immediately turned around, walked in front of Chen Qiu, and said: "The kid has seen Lord Taishou, but I haven't seen him for many days, and the adult has become more and more majestic. Chen Qiu couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't want to worry about him at this time, so he said: "You came just in time, this Dou Daogu happened to be looking for you, you don't have to excuse yourself." There are still some things to deal with in this house, so let's go first, and if you have something, just ask the king in charge. After speaking, he didn't give Wu Yong a chance to refute, and hurriedly left the living room.
Wu Yong was a little confused, so he looked at the two women suspiciously. Although both of them were very beautiful, Wu Yong didn't dare to look at them for fear of angering them.
The person who can walk with the lord of Chunlong County has an extraordinary status and status, and it is not something that he can get along with as an ordinary person.
I saw Dou Qiongying look at him, and then sighed: "You don't have to be nervous, you and my ancestors are both the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, you can just call me aunt." Wu Yong climbed up the pole and hurriedly said: "Hello auntie, boy Wu Yong, give you a salute, you are the most beautiful aunt the boy has ever seen." The county lord of Chunlong on the side sneered again, and said: "You are really good at complimenting people, comparing the women in your township with your Aunt Dou, do you know that your Aunt Dou was known as the first beauty in Luoyang and Chang'an!" Wu Yong scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
At this time, Dou Qiongying spoke,
"Okay, Chunlong, don't embarrass him, I still have something to ask him for help, annoy him, I can only ask you for help."
"I can't help you, you better ask your nephew for help, I'll go to the backyard to talk to Cheng Ying, after you take care of things, come to me." The county lord of Chunlong hurriedly waved his hand, and after speaking, he also hurriedly left the living room.
After the county lord of Chunlong left, in the huge living room, only Wu Yong and Dou Qiongying were left. Although they are lonely men and widows in the same room, they don't have bad associations when they see people, because the age difference between the two is 20 years.
The two stared at each other for a while, and Dou Qiongying spoke first: "My name is Dou Qiongying, the sister of the former general Dou Wu, do you know the danger of being involved with my Dou family?" Then she didn't care whether Wu Yong nodded or shook her head, and said to herself: "Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, my Dou clan has been wandering between the royal family and noble relatives, and has been prosperous and rich for more than 300 years, and I don't want to be wiped out in ashes. Now there are only a few women left in the Dou family, and they are also sent to Bijing County, Rinan County, far away. β
"I hate my daughter for not being able to save my family from danger, and watching my relatives suffer at the border. They wanted to seek the help of their former relatives, but they were afraid of powerful eunuchs, and no one dared to lend a helping hand. β
"Now I just want to ask you, do you dare to risk being implicated by the Dou clan to save my sister-in-law and sisters in Bijing County." Wu Yong looked at his lonely figure, and suddenly thought of a record in the later generations, so he hesitated, and finally couldn't help but speak: "I don't know if my aunt knows about Hu Teng?" β
"Is Guiyang beard rising? He was a disciple of my brother, and he was highly regarded by my brother for his scholarship and conduct. What does he do, you ask? Dou Qiongying asked with some confusion.
Wu Yong glanced at the open door of the living room, then put it in Dou Qiongying's ear, and whispered: "Hu Teng has a son named Hu Fu, formerly known as Dou Fu, who is four years old this year, and is actually my aunt's own nephew. Dou Qiongying's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, and she looked Wu Yong up and down for a long time before she was relieved, and said to herself: "Daojun still opened his eyes, let my Dou family blood endlessly, today's wish has been fulfilled, after that, when I put aside the red dust and devote myself to the Tao." After speaking, she took out an inch-long pendant from Bai Nen's neck, handed it to Wu Yong, and said, "How did you know about this, I won't ask much." This thing is a token of my Fufeng Dou lineage, if you go to Mobei in the future, you can go to a tribe called 'No Lu Hui', and ask their leader for the purpose. Wu Yong didn't want to take it, but he didn't expect that the pendant seemed to be positioned, and it fell into his hands accurately, so he had no choice but to passively accept it, and play with it carefully, this thing is a polyhedron, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, like gold not gold, like jade not jade, I don't know what material it is.
He could even smell a hint of fragrance on it, of course, he knew that this was Dou Qiongying's body fragrance and had nothing to do with the pendant.
Dou Qiongying saw that the pendant she was wearing was played with by the man, Rao is the other party was young, and she was a cultivator, and at this time her body also revealed a sense of discomfort, so she got up and left, and before leaving, she did not forget to instruct: "This thing, you hide it in the future, don't let outsiders know." Although you are young, but the experience is extraordinary, there will be great achievements in the future, I hope that in the future, you can see today's situation, can help me to help the Feng Dou family. β
