Chapter 227 Everyone
Wang Yingxue took over the easy marriage of Dou Zhao's sisters. Even if the Wang family felt heartbroken, they could not shelter her daughter. Therefore, when the Dou family proposed to ask Wang Yingxue to go back to Zhending with the second wife next spring, the Wang family had to nod. Therefore, Wang Yingxue moved to the back room of the main courtyard, and Gao Sheng's wife personally "served" her. No idle people are allowed to approach. It is said that Wang Yingxue became ill due to overwork and needs rest. It is natural for her to follow the second wife to return to Zhending to "rehabilitation".
So when Dou Ming saw Wang Yingxue leaning against the window frame, he did not excitedly go forward and hug her and cry loudly, or wanted to plead with his mother to ask for mercy with the elders of the Dou family, but his eyes were slightly wet and he wanted to speak but stopped.
Wang Yingxue knew that her daughter never looked down on her, and felt that she had even deprived her of the power to preside over the gifts by the Dou family, and she was a complete loser.
But she didn't think it was offensive.
What should I do with my own daughter?
She has done what she can do and given what her daughter can give.
Wang Yingxue smiled slightly, asked Dou Ming to sit on the kang, and asked the little maid to wash some fruit to treat Dou Ming.
Dou Ming looked at the new listing, and Jining Hou Mansion did not buy a few kilograms of Qiu pears for Tian and her to taste. After a while, he whispered: "Sister, she has betrothed to the Duke of England, do you know?"
"I've heard it." Wang Yingxue helped Dou Ming peel the pear and sneered, "Your father wishes everyone in the world knows that Dou Zhao is going to get married. I don't want to know and can't stop the servant from saying in my ears!" He said, "Although the Duke's Mansion in England is prominent, the Marquis Mansion in Jining is not bad. You can live your life well. All that mother can do for you is this. In the future, you have to rely on yourself. You have to walk around your grandmother's house with nothing to do. With your grandfather to support you, even your aunt will not dare to neglect you. When you are free, come and see your father - your father has never treated you badly in money. With him, you can save up the income from your dowry. With these two things, the people of the Wei family can't touch you at all. As for the Dou family, they have never regarded you as their daughter, just be polite to them."
Dou Ming couldn't help frowning.
My mother probably thought that the Duke of England was similar to the Duke of Jining Hou Mansion?
Even if there is any difference between the two families, it is just the level of titles and the amount of honors.
She thought so when she had never married into the Jining Marquis Mansion. After she married into the Jining Marquis Mansion, she realized that the Marquis Mansion might not be richer than the Bo Mansion, and the Bo Mansion might not be more powerful than the hereditary Jinyi Assistant.
Until now, she has not figured out these ways.
Unlike the family of officials, where the number of ranks is a few ranks. No matter how hard you work with the Jinshi, you will not be as smooth as the promotion of the Jinshi on both lists. As soon as you hear about your origin, you will know what future this person will have in the future.
Things about the noble family are very messy!
"How can the Marquis of Jining be compared with the Duke of England?" Dou Zhao said unhappily, "Look at my sister's betrothal gift, it's 20,000 taels of silver. My father said, "A man has a burden and a woman has to accompany my sister to 10,000 taels of silver for money..."
Wang Yingxue disagreed and sneered: "You don't know how much money your sister has? What does it have to do with her? The Jining Marquis Mansion thought Dou Zhao's origin was not good at first. Since the British Duke's Mansion was more prominent than the Jining Marquis Mansion, after you married into the Wei family on her behalf, the British Duke's Mansion could still like your sister, and the marriage date was set so soon. Don't you think it's a bit strange? I think the British Duke's Mansion is probably the only thing that is gold and evil. Maybe, the things I hired are all made up from some things left by my ancestors, in order to make your father's money! You wait and see, there will be Dou Zhao crying in the future, and your father regrets it!"
Dou Ming couldn't help but feel silent when he thought of Song Mo's rumors.
Wang Yingxue observed her face and knew that she was guessing her, and her tone was slightly slower, and she said, "Don't think that my mother is a fool. I know that the Dou family is calculating me. Am I also calculating the Dou family?"
Dou Ming was stunned.
Wang Yingxue handed the peeled pear to Dou Ming, and Dou Ming took it over. She lowered her head and picked another pear. While peeling the pear, she said, "I knew that when your fifth uncle and your grandfather competed for the position of the old master, I figured it out. In order to plot against your grandfather, the Dou family made all kinds of tricks. Mrs. Cai promised to help, and I guessed that your fifth aunt was probably already known, but even so what? Didn't I marry you to the Jining Marquis' Mansion smoothly! Can they still divorce me?
"If you return to Zhending, you will return to Zhending. I have long no longer wanted to stay in Kyoto. Instead of being a renowned and bachelor's wife in Hanlin Academy, she has not returned to the countryside, free and free. You and Dou Zhao have both married, and your father can't just watch the family business interruption. No matter who your father carries to be his concubine, will she dare not recognize me as the legitimate mother? What should I be afraid of?
Wang Yingxue said in disapprovingly, but her true thoughts were revealed in her eyebrows.
Dou Ming felt sad when he looked at it, lowered his head and ate the pears barely.
Seeing that his daughter was not interested, Wang Yingxue thought that she was about to return to Zhending, and it would be difficult to see her daughter who was already out of the box again in the future. Now she could see her once, so she stopped talking and asked Dou Ming: "How is the Marquis treating you well?"
Dou Ming's face was slightly red, and he nodded indifferently, and simply said "Shangke".
Wang Yingxue smiled knowingly, with folds on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, which looked worse than her grandmother's complexion.
Dou Ming couldn't help but turn his face.
※※※※※
If you become a famous minister, you will first gain fame.
When the summer entered the summer, Ji Yong was appreciated by Yu Li, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy because of his uncle's recommendation. Together with Yu Li and several great scholars from the Hanlin Academy, he compiled the "Wenhua Great Exercise" which will be published by the emperor.
Although the yamen of Hanlin Courtyard is spacious, it is because of its age. The locust trees in front of the house are as tall as a cover, covering the entire wing room, making the entire Hanlin Courtyard house gloomy all year round and smell of dampness. This is the clear and crisp autumn season.
Of course, those great scholars wrote the book, and Ji Yong just helped find the clerical script. Despite this, after the book was completed, his name would still appear in the small corner of the first volume, which made the top scorers, second-tier, Tanhua and Shuji in the Hanlin Academy who had been withered for many years were envious and jealous.
When Cai Guyuan invited his colleagues to drink, he deliberately left Ji Yong.
"The staff of the prefect of my hometown came to Kyoto for business and came to visit him." He glanced at Ji Yong who was walking by with a bunch of books and said loudly, "It is hard to refuse the kindness, I have to reluctantly do it. You guys have nothing to do when you get out of the door. Why don't you go to Zuixianlou with me to join in the fun?"
Zuixian Tower is a famous golden cave in Kyoto.
Someone couldn't help but be moved.
If Ji Yong had to do evil, Cai Guyuan would pretend to be incomprehensible, and then he would go with Cai Guyuan until he was so angry that he could not speak or left with his sleeves.
Cai Guyuan found out Ji Yong's temper, so he invited Liang Jifen's eldest son Liang Wuen.
Liang Wuen stuttered the most and disliked those who spoke too smart and were unreasonable. Moreover, Liang Wuen stuttered because Mrs. Liang did not treat Liang Wuen in time to make up for the money for Liang Jifen to take the exam. Liang Wuen was the best among several children. Although Liang Wuen passed the Jinshi, he could not enter the official position because of stuttering. Jifen felt very guilty about the eldest son. The family affairs were all controlled by this eldest son, and he often consulted with the eldest son for official business. Liang Wuen was like Liang Jifen's national science.
Liang Jifen is low-key and has not been a prime minister for a long time. Not many people know about this.
But as long as they know this, they will find a way to follow Liang Wuen's path and everyone can get what they want.
Most importantly, Liang Wuen’s greatest preference is to pretend to be a down-and-out scribe…
This time, he must be good-looking Ji Yong!
Thinking of this, Cai Guyuan's voice became even louder: "I used to go to Zuixianlou, and my friends treated me, but this time it was someone else's treat. Drinking wine in my mouth makes me feel different. Don't be polite to me!"
His poor appearance of eating for nothing is also one of the main reasons why Ji Yong looked down on Cai Guyuan.
Cai Guyuan calculated that Ji Yong was going to be deceived.
Who knew that Ji Yong hurriedly passed by him, not only did he not say anything, but he also had no expression on his face, as if he had not heard what he was saying.
Cai Guyuan's mouth did not close for a long time.
Ji Yong's heart was in a mess.
Since he was called to the study by his great-grandfather three days ago and told that Dou Zhao had engaged to the British Prince Song Yantang, his mind has been blank. He is like a doll, and he does whatever he wants. He has not recovered until now.
How could the person Dou Zhao was about to marry be Song Yantang?
He has a prominent background and is not the same as them. How could he suddenly get engaged to Dou Zhao?
What did Dou Zhao think?
He jumped up and was about to go to Jing'an Temple Hutong to find out what was going on, but was stopped by his great-grandfather.
"Jianming, you should also regard this as a trial for you." The great-grandfather looked solemn, with a common Taoist robe, and was as elegant as the wind and clouds. "Why did we fail in this matter? Is there a way to remedy it? If not, how should we use this opportunity to get the best benefits of the family? If so, what methods are available? Instead of running to the Dou family as you are now, hurrying to question! I ask you, what benefits can you get when you go to the Dou family like this?"
He didn't know what benefits he could get, but he felt that his heart was poached, and it hurt so much. He wanted to ask why Song Mo, who was more beautiful and pretentious than a woman, could do it, but he couldn't?
Ji Yong said nothing, pushed Mr. Ji away and walked out.
But he was taken back by the entourage beside Mr. Ji.
Old Master Ji looked at him coldly, with an unconcealed disappointment in his tone: "You are guarding the Sixteenth Master. Without me, no one is allowed to let him out." He also said, "You have failed. Even if you cannot accept the consequences of failure, you should maintain the demeanor of the loser."
The door of the study room closed with a "bang".
He held his head and sat on the little scepter in the study.
