Chapter 194 Countermeasures
After February 2nd, the wind blew on my body and there was no chill.
The flowers and trees sprouted, grass emerged from the ground, the forsythia blossomed vigorously, the flowers spread across the branches and the whole sky became brighter.
Dou Zhao wore a moon-white silk jacket and a green Hunan skirt. He sat quietly on the beauty in the octagonal pavilion in the back garden, leaning on the peaceful and peaceful spring water flowing in the mountain stream.
The old master of the Ji family came forward in person to support the fifth uncle, the Ministry of Personnel's official position to seal the Qing Dynasty envoy Fang Zhou as the Zhejiang Provincial Administration Office, and reached a tacit understanding with the fifth uncle.
Just waited to retire from the Wei family, and then got engaged to Ji Yong.
Why did the Ji family suddenly take a fancy to her?
And it was when she was Luo Fu had the king.
If this incident spreads, how can the Ji family gain a foothold in Jiangnan?
No wonder people who know this matter are secretly informed!
Dou Zhao never underestimates himself or is never blindly arrogant.
In terms of character, she is far inferior to those filial daughters and sturdy girls who are well-known; in terms of origin, her biological mother died early; in terms of appearance, she is still far from being beautiful; in terms of family background, although the Dou family became one of the most famous families in Beizhili through the entry of the fifth uncle, the fifth uncle had just entered the cabinet and had a shallow foundation. There were many families in Jiangnan for a hundred years, and the Ji family was also one of them. Old Master Ji could not marry the Ji family for the benefit of the family, and the Ji family and Dou family were already in-laws. The sixth uncle and fifth uncle who married the Ji family were brothers. Compared to her cousin who had been in the fifth sermon, the Ji family did not need to do anything extra...
After thinking about it, there is only one possibility.
The Ji family hopes to restrain Ji Yong through her.
Dou Zhao thought, and his eyes fell on the begonia not far away.
The big red flowers bloomed a tree, as gorgeous as the clouds and as bright as fire.
Does Ji Yong know the true intention of Mr. Ji?
What did he think?
Dou Zhao felt that he should meet Ji Yong.
But before she could order Su Xin, Chen Qushui took the account book to see her.
"The prince wants to see you." He said while fiddling with the abacus, "I heard that I seem to know that you don't want to marry the Marquis of Jining."
Dou Zhao has a headache.
The Wei family's affairs have not been resolved yet, and Ji Yong has been disturbed, and now another Song Mo has emerged...
She said, "Tell the prince that my elders will decide on my marriage, please don't interfere."
Chen Qushui was very hesitant.
Dou Zhao told him about Mr. Ji’s visit.
Chen Qushui was shocked: "How could this happen?"
Compared with the Wei family, the Ji family's marriage is a match.
"I want to break off the engagement and acquiesce Song Mo to take action. What's going on?" Dou Zhao said, "What's wrong with Song Mo's character? If he doesn't leave, he will be able to do it. But what afterwards? I'm afraid that if I leave the engagement, the Ji family will come to propose marriage. The Ji family is not as good as the Wei family. They can help the fifth uncle in the temple. If this marriage is settled, it will not be so easy to leave. If I refuse to marry, let alone the second wife and the fifth uncle, I am the father.
Dear, Aunt Cui and Aunt Six, I'm afraid I won't let me go. If I make trouble again, everyone might be crazy. Things have come to that point and it's a dead end. Could it be that I'm really marrying Cousin Ji? It would be better to marry Cousin Jining. At least Cousin is easy to fool, Cousin Ji has to have one eye open when he sleeps. I've wanted to live a comfortable life in this life, and I've never planned to assist my husband in becoming a king and a prime minister, and I'm famous in history and become Liang Hongyu."
Chen Qushui couldn't help laughing: "I'm not going to die at all. The lady is young and speaks very old. However, the lady's words are not unreasonable. Although Ji Jianming is very talented, he is arrogant and difficult to get along with. Moreover, the six branches of the Ji family, the thirteen branches of the side branches, and the in-laws who depend on them, there are more than a hundred families. If you marry Ji Jianming, it's better to marry to the Jining Marquis' Mansion."
The only person who can understand that she wants to be alone is Chen Qushui.
After getting his affirmation, Dou Zhao was in a good mood.
She said: "I think this matter has to start with the Wei family - as long as the Wei family does not agree to break off the engagement, the Dou family will not be able to discuss marriage with the Ji family. At that time, the Ji family will definitely withdraw from the Wei family. As long as we seize the handle of the Wei and Ji families, we will take the big righteousness, and the fifth uncle will not want to marry me to the Ji family."
Chen Qushui pondered: "What you mean is to accuse the Ji family of destroying your marriage... In this way, even if the fifth master wants to marry the Ji family, he cannot bear the reputation of colluding with the Ji family, and persecuting his niece!"
"Not bad." Dou Zhao smiled, "The Wei family betrayed their faith and forgot their righteousness, and the Ji family bullied the weak. I can use this as an excuse. From then on, the ancient Buddha green lamp will never be ignored. For half of Xi Dou's property, I believe that the second wife will convince the fifth uncle to leave me at home."
Chen Qushui was worried, "What if the Ji family and the Wei family dragged on like this? Jining Hou is not young anymore and there is no one in his family to host the gift. The Wei family cannot spend it like this. At most, this autumn will have to be settled."
Dou Zhao smiled and said, "Then do you think the Ji family will continue to waste time with the Wei family like this?"
Chen Qushui was puzzled: "It is only possible to benefit the Ji family, after all, they have no reason."
"If the people of the Ji family think so, they will not do such a case." Dou Zhao sneered, "Ji Jianming looks like this, do you think the people of the Ji family have no responsibility at all!"
Chen Qushui smiled bitterly.
Dou Zhao said: "You can help me invite Jining Hou to see you at home!"
"Is it here or Jing'an Temple Hutong?"
"Of course it's Jing'an Temple Hutong." Dou Zhao said, "After all, this is the fifth aunt who hosts the gift, so it's so inconvenient to act." He also said, "You can give Song Mo a sigh, so that he can feel that although I'm heartbroken, I still hope to save my marriage so that he won't get involved and make things more complicated."
Chen Qushui nodded.
The two discussed some details again. Dou Zhao sent him to the Chuhuamen, but met Ji Yong.
"Cousin Ji!" Dou Zhao greeted him.
His face turned red, he responded stammeringly, without looking sideways, and striding with her head held high.
Dou Zhao was both angry and funny, and asked the servant who sent Ji Yong: "What are Cousin Ji here to do?"
The servant smiled and said, "The fifth master has a rare break this year. Editor Ji came here to greet the fifth master and told him some academic matters."
Dou Zhao said "hmm" and returned to the main courtyard.
Ji was talking to the fifth wife, his face looked a little bad. Seeing her coming in, the two of them stopped the topic and smiled at her at the same time, "I'm back!"
Dou Zhao smiled and saluted the two aunts and took the sixth aunt's arm.
Aunt Six's body is stiff.
The fifth aunt smiled and said, "Look, you stand like a mother and daughter."
Aunt Six did not make any noise.
Dou Zhao laughed and when the manager came in to ask the fifth aunt for advice, she pulled the sixth aunt into the west wing and brought the peach sauce she made to entertain the sixth aunt.
Aunt Six's expression seemed a little obscure. She held Taoshu, patted Dou Zhao's hand gently, and whispered: "Shou Gu, if Aunt Six did something wrong, you must forgive me."
Dou Zhao understood.
On one side is her and on the other side is the elders of her parents' family. She was very embarrassed when she was caught in the middle.
It would be okay if Ji Yong was not satisfied, at least Aunt Six had reasons to object. But Ji Yong's first place in his youth was the most promising Tanhualang in the eyes of the world. Those reasons for Aunt Six were not at all.
She smiled and leaned on Aunt Six's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I don't think my mother is ugly. Don't worry, even if you give the gold necklace you promised to leave for me to Sister Eleven, I won't blame you."
"You kid!" Ji stroked Dou Zhao's hair, and felt even more sad. He made up his mind. If Ji Yong dared to be lazy at all, she would not let Dou Zhao suffer even if she tore her face with her sister-in-law.
She couldn't help but murmured: "Don't worry, you'll be doing well."
Dou Zhao's nose felt sore and he almost burst into tears.
※※※※※
Wei Tingyu knew that Dou Zhao was going to see him, so he hurriedly made a piece of green bamboo, Hangzhou silk inlaid with cloud patterns in Kyoto, and went to Jing'an Temple Hutong.
This was the first time Dou Zhao looked at Wei Tingyu in front of his eyes after rebirth.
On her young face, thin fluff could be seen on her lips, and she sat upright, looking very reserved, making her feel familiar and unfamiliar.
"Drink tea!" Dou Zhao pointed to Biluochun on the tea table.
"Thank you!" Wei Tingyu murmured with a red face, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Either he was too nervous or drunk too hard, he suddenly choked by the tea and started coughing.
Dou Zhao hurriedly asked Su Xin to hand him a handkerchief.
Wei Tingyu thanked embarrassingly, his expression relaxed than before.
Dou Zhao said, "Do you want to quit the marriage?"
"No, no," Wei Tingyu waved his hands repeatedly and looked panicked when he heard this, "I have never thought of this before..."
Dou Zhao said: "I also believe that you and my sister have nothing to do..."
"Miss Four!" Before she could speak, Wei Tingyu was already shocked.
Since he and Dou Ming made an appointment to meet at Daxiangguo Temple, the sister slapped her without saying a word, and her mother cried constantly. Even though her brother-in-law who had always treated him like brothers and sisters, she looked disappointed. Wang Qinghai was even more overwhelmed and asked him gloatingly: "Is it because my sister is good-looking or my sister is better?"
Only Dou Zhao, I believe he and Dou Ming have no affair.
"My Ling and I are really nothing!" He said excitedly, "My Ling was someone who asked me to call me, saying that I had something urgent to come to me, it was about my marriage with you. I asked me to go to Daxiangguo Temple quietly, and her maid was waiting for me there..."
Dou Zhao really believes it.
Dou Ming is not a fool.
"You don't need to defend yourself." Dou Zhao said, "I believe your words."
"Thank you, Miss Four." Wei Tingyu looked grateful.
"It's just that so many things have happened, and I'm physically and mentally exhausted. The elders at home are unwilling," Dou Zhao said. "Will we talk about our marriage be in a few days? Everyone takes a breath and take this opportunity to think about what will happen in the future."
Wei Tingyu was stunned.
What does Dou Zhao mean?
He said he believed in him and wanted to delay the wedding...
The window sashes in the flower hall were blooming everywhere, and the colorful flowers in mid-spring came into view, but Wei Tingyu could not feel the slightest joy.
