Dou Zhao's words seemed to be a puzzle. Chen Qushui couldn't guess what the purpose was. His self-esteem did not allow him to ask Dou Zhao without thinking seriously, and this topic was revealed. (Let's read the novel and go to Ye Zi·You~You)

After seeing Chen Qushui off, Dou Zhao stood under the corridor of the main house and spoke for a while.

In his previous life, the Marquis of Jining suddenly died of illness on the ninth day of the fifth month of the thirteenth year of Chengping.

She "met" Tian when she went to Kaiyuan Temple to perform rituals for her husband on August 19, the fifteenth year of Chengping, that is, after the Jining Hou was given up, she "meeted" Tian when she went to Kaiyuan Temple to perform rituals for her husband.

It is now March of the 13th year of Chengping. If nothing unexpected happens, the Marquis of Jining will die of illness in more than a month. Wei Tingyu needs to obey the system for three years, so the marriage will naturally be delayed.

Three years later, who knows what will happen!

She was not worried.

The spring rains were drizzling in the next few days, and Dou Zhao was busy taking care of her peony flowers.

Chen Qushui brought her a message: Zeng Yifen died of illness.

"The cabinet has finally been vacant." Dou Zhaoxiao asked Chen Qushui to sit down at Huanuan's stone table, and personally brewed Biluochun, and said with a smile, "I don't know who will become the chief minister? I don't know which minister can enter the cabinet? Someone in Kyoto is destined to be unable to sleep at night in the past few days!"

Chen Qushui smiled and took the tea handed over by Dou Zhao and analyzed: "The possibility of Ye Shipei and Yao Shizhong is relatively high, but Dai Jian is also possible with the support of Wang Yuan, the eunuch of the Silijian."

Dou Zhao said in surprise: "It turns out that Dai Jian is supported by Eunuch Wang..."

Chen Qushui heard Dou Zhao call Wang Yuan the "Eunuch Wang" more surprised than her and said, "How do you know Wang Yuan?"

How could she not know about Wang Yuan?

The Liao King seized the palace in his previous life. Wang Yuan was the confidant eunuch of the late emperor, but he was safe and sound in the end.[] After the Liao King ascended the throne, although he did not become the eunuch of Bingbi, he became the chief supervisor of the Cining Palace. The emperor's favorite concubine Jiang is said to be disliked by the emperor because he offended Wang Yuan. In the end, Jiang's two sons were also raised under the name of her mortal rival, Qi. Wang Yuan disliked others calling him "father-in-law", so whether he was an internal wife or an external wife, he would respectfully call him "Eunuch Wang".

Dou Zhao also called it smoothly.

She had to pretend to be unaware: "I read the book that these people are 'eunuchs', so I used this title." She was afraid that Chen Qushui would continue to ask questions, so she quickly changed the topic, "Isn't Ye Shipei a secondary assistant? Now that Zeng Yifen has passed away, he should take over as the chief assistant. Why do you say that he is just possible? Who are Yao Shizhong and Dai Jian?"

These are topics that Chen Qushui is very interested in, and Dou Zhao's explanation also said that Guan Tong was also said. He no longer thought about it and smiled: "In theory, after Zeng Yifen left, Ye Shibu should have taken over as the chief minister. However, when Zeng Yifen was alive, he suppressed him very much, so he took the blame for several more important political affairs. His prestige was damaged, and his age and lack of energy could make him miss the chief minister of the cabinet.

"Yao Shizhong started out from the Ministry of Revenue, which is a famous plan. In recent years, the emperor repaired his tomb and borrowed a lot of money from the Ministry of Revenue. The Jiangnan fired twice, with less taxes and reduced taxes, but the military pay, food and grass for the suppression of Japanese troops in the south should not be reduced. The national treasury was tight, and the emperor might let Yao Shizhong be the chief minister to solve the problem of the emptiness of the national treasury.

"As for Dai Jian, Wang Yuan was able to drive Lin Ding Wei, the great-grandson who served the emperor since he was in the secret residence, to Shaanxi to be the governor. You can imagine how powerful this person is. It is said that Dai Jian asked his nephew to marry Wang Yuan's adopted daughter and be a relative of his children with Wang Yuan. This person is talented, capable, and shameless. Maybe he will be exposed to be unpopular!"

If it were someone else, he would definitely doubt Chen Qushui's inference, but Dou Zhao knew that Wang Yuan was powerful, but he thought that Chen Qushui's words were reasonable. The temple seemed majestic, but in fact any kind of absurd things could happen. After the Liao King became the emperor, he also appointed Master Yuantong, the head of Longshan Temple, as the Minister of Rites, to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and was responsible for his worship of Buddha. Longshan Temple was therefore appointed as Dalongshan Temple as the Dalongshan Temple. Since then, the incense has become a prosperous temple, and from an unknown small temple has become the largest ancient temple... Once she accidentally heard the Empress complaining to the Empress Dowager tactfully, saying that Master Yuantong encouraged the Emperor to give the golden tiles in the Golden Palace to Dalongshan Temple to build a hall of the main hall, but the Emperor did not object. [] The Empress Dowager was so angry that she scolded Master Yuantong as a "rift"...

Thinking of this, Dou Zhao was shocked and his face suddenly changed.

Master Yuantong's common surname is Ji, his courtesy name is Mingjian, and his nickname is Bu Er.

Is Ji Yong... no, no, impossible!

She has seen Master Yuantong twice.

He is tall, fair-faced, handsome and handsome. Not only does he have a friendly and gentle smile, but his behavior is humble and generous. When talking to him, he feels like a spring breeze blowing on his face. He doesn't look like Ji Yong, who speaks sarcastically and rudely, and his face is shrewd... But if you remove these... Ji Yong pretends to behave, he is a bit like Master Yuantong...

Dou Zhaoteng stood up and knocked over the teacup at hand.

"Miss Four, what's wrong with you?" Chen Qushui changed color. He thought Dou Zhao was thinking about who could join the cabinet. "Did you think of something?"

Whether Dou Shishu can enter the cabinet is related to Wang Xingyi's promotion and their subsequent deployment in Kyoto.

"Nothing, nothing!" Dou Zhao murmured, "I remembered some things in the past, and I don't know whether they are true or not..." Speaking of this, she suddenly asked Chen Qushui, "Do you know what Ji Jianming's name is?"

She really couldn't connect Ji Yong with the monk.

Chen Qushui was stunned and said, "I really didn't notice this. Do you want me to help me inquire?"

Ji Yong touched him quietly, but he knew nothing. Although he left at that time, if he said that he was not at all shocked, it would be self-deception. He also wanted to know why Ji Yong had such a palpitations at such a young age.

Dou Zhao nodded repeatedly, feeling all over his mind: "You'd better check what happened in Yixing..." Perhaps he could find some clues.

Chen Qushui nodded.

Dou Zhao thought of Aunt Six's desire to speak but stopped, and Ji Yong's reckless behavior...

Could it be that Ji Yong is really the Master Yuantong?

For a moment, neither Chen Qushui nor Dou Zhao had the mood to continue talking... But Dou Shiying, who was far away in Kyoto, walked out of Dou Shishu's study with a somewhat ugly expression, and stood under the grape trellis outside the study and breathed a long sigh.

Dou Shiheng followed out and smiled and said, "What? I can't bear to leave Shou Gu?"

"Yes!" Dou Shiying sighed again and said, "As someone else's daughter-in-law, not only serves as her parents-in-law, but also has to do housework. She is so young. How can she do this!"

Just now, the Wei family invited a matchmaker to formally propose marriage to Dou Shiying.

Dou Shiying was a little hesitant.

Did you marry your daughter like this?

He came to discuss Dou Shishu.

Dou Shishu smiled and said, "What do you want? Choose a Que Ping? Don't forget that the He family retreated because of the difficulties. It was all because of Dou and Wei families. Now the He family will no longer get married in advance. You will not be ready to part with the Wei family, right? How can we explain to the He family at that time?"

"I don't mean that either." Dou Shiying said, "I just don't want to marry Shou Gu so early, and I don't know what kind of person Wei Tingyu is..."

"Didn't you go and inquire at the beginning? Both the sixth brother and the sixth brother and sister thought it was good." Dou Shishu couldn't help laughing. "Besides, getting engaged is not getting married. If you have a marriage, you have to prepare a dowry. It is common for you to get married again in two or three years. I think the Wei family wants it too. You can't keep Shou Gu at home for the rest of your life, right?"

Having said that, he felt awkward in his heart, and said a few words to Dou Shishu. Seeing Dou Shiheng coming, he got up and said goodbye, but Dou Shiheng chased after him.

"Let's go and have a drink at my place." Dou Shiheng made a little guess at Dou Shiying's heart and pulled him to his house.

The house was cold. Dou Shiying didn't want to go back, so he and Dou Shiheng went to Maoer Hutong.

On the way, he asked Dou Shiheng: "What are you looking for in the fifth brother? Is it related to joining the cabinet?"

He was a little worried that Dou Zhao's marriage would make the Dou family rebellious.

"Nothing big deal." Dou Shiheng said, "I heard that the fifth brother is back, come and see him." Dou Shishu has been helping the Zeng family these days. He said, "You don't want to think too much. You have to walk on your own, and no one can rely on it. I think the fifth brother understands this truth too. Otherwise, the fifth brother would not have agreed to let the He family come forward to the Wei family to take the jade pendant back."

Dou Shiying nodded, and the two entered the Hanghuamen.

Ji was directing the maid and the mother-in-law to prepare food. When they saw the two of them coming in, they hurriedly called the maid to fetch water to serve them clean their faces and wash their hands. They also asked the mother-in-law to inform the kitchen to add food.

Dou Shiying was not polite either, so she changed into Dou Shiheng's clothes and came out for lunch.

Seeing that Dou Zhengchang and Dou Dechang were not there, he smiled and said, "Where have the two brothers gone?"

Ji helped Dou Shiying serve a bowl of soup and smiled and said, "I went to Yuqiao Hutong."

Several people came to the Han family in Huzhou to see Dou Zhengchang, and lived in the Ji family in Yuqiao Hutong.

Dou Shiying asked Dou Zhengchang about his marriage: "When will he get engaged?"

Ji Shi smiled and said, "I have been watching for a few days. It was all in June and July. I have asked someone to take the Han family to discuss it. There should be a reply in the next few days."

Dou Shiying said sadly: "It's better to marry a wife!"

Dou Shiheng gave a wink at Ji, and Ji immediately understood.

Thinking that Shou Gu was about to get married, how could she feel good!

"Although the Wei family has disappeared, it is a dignified marquis' mansion. The Wei family has only Wei Tingyu, the son, and he asked to be the crown prince early on," she advised Dou Shiying, "Tian has a good temper. The child is handsome, cheerful and kind to others. Although he is still a little impetuous now, who is not impetuous now? Our Shou Gu is a smart person. When he becomes married, he will gradually become steady."

Dou Shiying nodded slowly.

Neither of them mentioned the Wei family's economy—the property under Dou Zhao's name was enough for them to squander.
