Chapter 216 Attentiveness

What are your plans?

I can only find a way to find a better family for Dou Zhao!

If you can't find it, stay at home to recruit a son-in-law.

In short, Dou Zhao can no longer be wronged!

But this is easy to say, but difficult to do.

Not to mention where Dou Zhao’s age is, how many people are comparable to Wei Tingyu, who is a hereditary marquis who has inherited the title? If it is so easy to recruit a son-in-law, why is Zhangru still waiting for his name to be a mother-in-law?

Dou Shiying couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Zhao Zhangru, who had long noticed Dou Shiying, hurriedly pulled Dou Zhao's clothes to block him.

Dou Zhao was slightly stunned. Seeing his father with a embarrassed face under his aunt's sharp gaze, he sighed secretly and stepped forward to help his father: "When did you come? Why didn't you say hello?" He greeted his aunt again: "It's cold at night, everyone come in to have a cup of hot tea, right?" Then he stepped forward and took his aunt's arm, and smiled and said, "My cousin and I just bought a few interesting things. It must have been given to my grandmother when my mother got married. We were about to ask you!" He smiled and pulled his aunt into the northern room that was temporarily used as a banquet room.

Zhao Zhangru smiled and lifted the curtain and waited for Dou Shiying.

Dou Shiying was grateful and smiled kindly at Zhao Zhangru and entered the banquet room in the north. Listening to his daughter and Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Zhangru smiled and said for a long time, drank a few cups of tea absent-mindedly. Seeing that it was getting late and everything was almost done, he got up and said goodbye.

My aunt couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Dou Shiying didn't sleep all night.

The next morning, I went to see Dou Zhao and said, "I have discussed with the people of the Wang family. Let Wang go back to his hometown in Zhending to serve the second wife, or go to the family temple to practice for some days. You might as well stay in Kyoto, because there is still a lack of a person to host the gift."

This is easy to talk about others!

Dou Zhaoyuan didn't plan to return to Zhending so soon.

She always has to deal with her own affairs before going back.

"Okay!" Dou Zhao smiled, "My aunt said she had been to Kyoto once when she was young. I was just about to keep my aunt and cousin Zhangru stayed at home for more days and traveled through some famous places in Kyoto."

Dou Shiying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this and talked about the famous places and historical sites in Kyoto.

A servant leaned out and waited for a long time until Dou Shiying's words came to an end, then he came in carefully and replied: "Master Qi, Lord Xu Zhiji of the Hanlin Academy, has sent someone to send you an invitation, wanting to invite you to drink at Zuixianlou tonight, please be sure to come."

Dou Shiying knew that Xu Zhiji had probably asked for something.

He has always believed that "convenience with others is convenience with yourself", but at this time, he was not in the mood to drink with Xu Zhiji at the Zuixian Tower!

He thought for a while and said, "You go and tell the person who sent the letter that there are some trivial matters in my house, so it is not convenient to go to Zuixianlou to drink. Thank you for your kindness. If he has other important matters, please come to your house for a cup of tea!"

The servant left.

Dou Shiying continued to talk to Dou Zhao about the previous topic: "...Do you have any place you particularly want to go? I'll ask Gao Sheng to accompany you."

If it weren't for an aunt, it would be inconvenient for an orphan man and a widower woman to have a rest in two days, and he would accompany his daughter.

Dou Zhao talked about some things, but felt it was inappropriate, and smiled and said, "Oh, there is no hurry to do this. Let's talk about it when my cousin and I have discussed it."

When Dou Shiying saw that she was in a good mood, she became happy and said, "I remember that you liked the most in the seal stone. When I was a child, I was unwilling to let go when I saw it in my study. I had to take it back to my house to hide it. In a few days, I will accompany you to Yubaoxuan to see it. In Kyoto, their antiques and jadeware are very special, which is better than the goods in our Jifen Pavilion..." Carefully coaxed Dou Zhao to be happy.

Dou Zhao was angry at that time and found something his father liked for himself, so he really liked it. Now he thought about it. However, it was a bit funny. It was a rare opportunity, so it was good to follow his father to Yubaoxuan to see it.

She asked her father with a smile: "Didn't we say that Jifen Pavilion is the best in the world? Why is the things in Yubaoxuan better than ours?"

"Our family's Jifen Pavilion is a complete range of varieties, high, medium and low-end ones, and major prefectures have branches. If you like something in the Nanjing branch, you should deliver it to Hangzhou, Jifen Pavilion can also help deliver it on behalf of others, so it is famous. But if it is good or bad, it is not as exquisite as Yu Baoxuan..." Dou Shiying was explaining to Dou Zhao in detail, and the servant broke in again and reported: "Master Qi, Lord Xu's entourage is talking back and forth, asking if you can come to visit this afternoon?"

Dou Shiying couldn't help but say "Huh" and murmured: "What's the matter? It's so urgent!"

Dou Zhao hurriedly said, "Dad, if you have something to do, go and do your business! I happened to go to my aunt's place to sit and ask where my aunt and cousin want to go to play."

Dou Shiying didn't force herself and went back to the study.

After lunch, Xu Zhiji brought a genius in green who was about fifty years old.

When Dou Shiying saw the scholar's clothes were bright and there was a flawless Hetian jade pendant hanging around his waist, his face was rosy, his little fingernails were more than an inch, and he looked like an old scholar who was pampered and elegant, he couldn't help but secretly wonder and asked the two of them to sit down quietly.

Before the servant could get tea, Xu Zhiji sued him first and said, "I came here without Brother Wan's consent. I was really anxious. I would like to ask Brother Wan to forgive me."

What Xu Zhiji asked for was probably related to this literati in green.

Dou Shiying thought, and smiled and said, "You and I are both in the Hanlin Academy. We should have helped each other. Brother Zhiji is so serious."

After a few greetings, Xu Zhiji introduced the genius in green to Dou Shiying: "This is my fellow villager, surnamed Tao, name, and name is respected. Now he is an aide at the Duke of England's mansion. In his early years, I came to Kyoto to participate in the imperial examination and received favor from Brother Tao. Now that Brother Tao has something to ask for, I am humble and have to ask Brother Wan for help." As he said that, he stood up and bowed to Dou Shiying, "I would also like to ask Brother Wan to help me no matter what."

Seeing this, the genius in blue hurriedly got up and saluted Dou Shiying.

"Please get up quickly!" Dou Shiying hurriedly helped the two of them and said, "Brother Zhiji, you know my temper. Everyone is traveling together in Kyoto. It is already a fate to be able to get to know each other. As long as I can help, I have no choice."

It was precisely because Xu Zhiji knew that he dared to bring someone to come here with him.

He told the story in embarrassment.

It turned out that this pottery had a nephew of a merchant who was involved in a theft case in Baoding Prefecture, Northern Zhili, a few years ago. Potery wanted to ask Dou Shiying to help say hello to the people in Baoding Prefecture.

Dou Shiying knew that they wanted him to pull Dou Shishu's tiger skin to make a big banner - Dou Shishu was the Minister of Justice.

The pottery was reborn and was afraid that Dou Shiying would not be willing to help, so he said, "My nephew has always been honest and honest. He has the money to do so, so he cannot commit a theft case. If he can restore his innocence, he will definitely thank him."

If there are too many such things, Dou Shiying cannot help the evildoer for a few dollars. Besides, Xu Zhiji is a Jinshi from two lists and an official in the Hanlin Academy. He can find someone to say hello to the magistrate of Baoding. Since he has found his place, he is afraid that the so-called theft case is not that simple, so he smiled and said, "I'll thank you if you say thank you, I'll ask first. If you can help, it's better."

Tao Qizhong quickly stood up to thank him and sighed: "I originally wanted to ask the British Duke to say hello, but I didn't expect the British Duke to say that the officials were inconvenient to make friends with foreign ministers, and they had many concerns. It's better for scholars from us, and we can meet people who help each other wherever we go."

This not only shows why his master did not help him deal with it, but also flattered Xu Zhiji and Dou Shiying.

Xu Zhiji coughed quickly.

Why did a person who speaks quite properly at this time make such a mistake?

Since I am asking Dou Shiying to flatter Dou Shiying, I just want to flatter Dou Shiying, what should I do?

Taoqi Chong also realized that he had lost his words and quickly changed the subject. Speaking of some interesting stories in Kyoto recently, the atmosphere was very harmonious for a moment.

After a few rounds of tea, Xu Zhiji saw a bit of tiredness in Dou Shiying's eyebrows, so he winked at the pottery, said a few more gossips, got up to say goodbye.

Dou Shiying politely sent the two out of the study.

The servants were putting away the big red lanterns with double joy.

Taoqi Chong smiled and said, "Don't you know what the happy event is in the mansion? If you had known this, you should have visited a few days in advance."

Dou Shiying couldn't help feeling uncomfortable and said briefly: "It's the little girl who is getting married!"

"Oh!" pottery was very interested, and said, "I wonder which family Ling Ai married to?"

Dou Shiying's expression became even more unnatural. But Xu Zhiji had come to have a wedding banquet. Thinking that pottery was important as an aide in the Duke's Mansion of the British, even if he didn't know Jining Hou, he should have heard of it. Maybe he could bring each other closer together. He smiled and said, "The charming guest in Lord Dou's mansion is the founding hero of Jining Hou. He is a handsome man. He has a handsome talent before he can win the title..."

Now that the news of the sister's easy marriage has not been spread, Dou Shiying was afraid that Xu Zhiji would continue to say something and would make people laugh at it. He hurriedly said, "Brother Zhiji has praised me" and interrupted Xu Zhiji's words.

Seeing Dou Shiying's appearance as if she was unwilling to say more, Xu Zhiji thought that it was probably because of this son-in-law who didn't like Dou Shiying very much, he smiled and followed the trend and stopped the topic. Who knew that the pottery was heavy but a little flattering, and said: "Mr. Dou is such a blessing! The second daughter is married so well, and she is the Marquis when she enters the house. I guess the eldest son is also outstanding. I wonder which son-in-law is from which son-in-law is?"

Dou Shiying was so angry that he was irritated.

Little girl refers to my daughter, not to her little daughter, okay?

This pottery is heavy. Is it a scholar?

But when people asked about the face, he couldn't stop talking, otherwise wouldn't it make people wonder what was strange about it!

He had no choice but to say, "I am empty under my knees and want to keep my eldest daughter at home, but I haven't been betrothed yet."

When the pottery heard it again, his eyes glowed and he hurriedly said, "Does Lord Dou want to keep Ling Ai at home to recruit a son-in-law? Or are you going to marry someone else when you meet him?"

Dou Shiying heard something in this, and couldn't help but feel a sudden surprise. She wondered if this pottery is worthy of a suitable candidate?

He said slowly: "It was because he didn't make up his mind that he never said he could kiss his elder daughter..."

Tao Qiong listened excitedly and said, "Mr. Dou, I want to be a matchmaker for Ling Ai. I wonder what Master Dou wants to do?" His smile was very attentive.



Tomorrow's additional updates will be around 14:00 noon.
