Chapter 252 Preface
Wei Tingyu smiled bitterly and called Song Mo "brother-in-law".
Brother, he really can't say it!
Song Mo smiled slightly, looking very modest.
Dou Shiying was very satisfied.
Both son-in-laws are prominent, but they can meet with their wives. This is not only a respect for their daughters, but also a respect for the Dou family.
Because the Dou family's clan ancestral hall was not in Kyoto, he led Song Mo and Dou Zhao to the main hall, kowtowed to the image of the Dou family's ancestors, burned incense, and even if he had worshipped the ancestors and reported the happy event. Then he led them back to the flower hall, kowtowed to Dou Shishu and others, and formally recognized their relatives.
Or considering that the Duke of England was a home where the bells and tripods were food, gold and silver were priceless, Dou Shishu's meeting gift was engraved in the previous dynasty, and Dou Shiheng's meeting gift was set with "Notes on the Four Books". Dou Wenchang, Dou Bochang and others were brothers, either giving collection of ink, clear heart paper, jade pen to wash, or enamel warm ink furnace, all of which were objects of reading and learning.
Dou Zhao smiled with a pursed lips.
Song Mo whispered to Dou Zhao when no one noticed: "Why are you laughing at?"
Dou Zhao glanced at Chen He who was ordered to hold a meeting gift on the side, and laughed in a low voice: "You can go to the top scorer!"
Song Mo looked at the four treasures in the study and couldn't help but smile in his eyes.
I have seen those who are older than them, those who are younger or younger.
Wei Tingyu touched the red seal in his sleeve, and didn't know whether to take it out or not. - According to the gift, although Song Mo was his brother-in-law, he started a family first than Song Mo. At this time, he gave Song Mo a gift, which was a gift. It was reasonable to not give it, but he seemed a little shy and petty. But just now, the people in the Dou family gave some things that were difficult to measure with money, and he couldn't help but take out the red seal of 200 taels of silver notes.
While hesitating, Song Mo had already smiled and bowed to Wei Tingyu, took out a red seal and handed it to Wei Tingyu.
Wei Tingyu looked at the little kids behind him, his face turned red. Just as he was about to refuse, Song Mo had already stuffed Hongfeng into his hand without saying anything, and smiled and said, "You and I are not always dealing with each other today, take it!" It reminded Wei Tingyu of the tone when Song Mo took care of him and asked him to follow Gu Yu to do the river work business, and distribute dividends.
He couldn't help but be stunned.
Song Mo was already smiling and bent down to touch Dou Jichang's eldest son Dou Qiren's head, and handed him a Feng Hong.
Dou Qiren shouted loudly, "Thank you for your fourth uncle", and his excitement was beyond words, which made Song Mo's smile even stronger.
Dou Jichang's second son Dou Qifu shouted without waiting for Song Mo to take out Feng Hong: "Fourth uncle, there is me, and I!" His fat little hand was about to reach Song Mo's face.
"I remember, Brother Fu!" Song Mo laughed and took out Feng Hong to him.
Dou Qifu cheered, took Feng Hong, and ran towards Dou Jingyuan in the West Hall with her fat calf: "Sister, sister, I got Feng Hong!"
Dou Jingyuan is Dou Bochang's daughter.
She moved when she heard the sound, ran over, pulled Song Mo's clothes and said, "Fourth uncle, you didn't seal me with red."
The soft and glutinous sound and the flashing big eyes made Song Mo feel soft.
"Okay, okay, okay." Song Mo smiled and hugged Dou Jingyuan and handed her two Feng Hongs.
Dou Jingyuan laughed and proudly raised the Feng Hong in her hands at Dou Qiren and Dou Qifu.
Dou Qiren and Dou Qifu hugged Song Mo's thighs on the right and left, shouting loudly, "Fourth uncle": "I want two too, I want two too!"
Dou Zhao's people looked embarrassed, and the wet nurses of the three of them couldn't raise their heads and stepped forward to coax a few children.
Song Mo smiled and stopped several wet ladies: "I was just joining in the fun, there was no need to be so reserved." He took out two more seals to replenish Dou Qiren and Dou Qifu.
Dou Qiren and Dou Qifu cheered.
Dou Jingyuan stopped obediently and pouted, "I want one too!"
Song Mo actually made up for her another one.
Dou Jingyuan smiled happily, but Dou Qiren and Dou Qifu were stunned.
The fifth wife blushed and glared at her two wives fiercely.
Guo was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Dou Jingyuan, and smiled and told Dou Jingyuan: "Is it okay to thank my fourth uncle!"
"Thank you, my fourth uncle!" Dou Jingyuan said childishly and said to Song Mo in a pleasing voice, "Fourth uncle, you go to our house to play during the Chinese New Year. I will ask my grandfather to write Spring Festival couplets for you!"
Since she was a child, she saw many people coming to her home to ask for Spring Festival couplets of Dou Shishu but couldn't get it. In her heart, she thought this was the best thing in the world. Dou Shishu couldn't sit still and stood up and bowed to Song Mo: "I laughed at you, I laughed at you!"
Song Mo smiled and said, "Is Sister Jing'er full of thoughts? The fifth uncle can't refuse at that time!"
Dou Shishu was a little surprised by Song Mo's easygoingness, and then laughed and said modestly: "As long as the prince doesn't dislike him!"
Song Mo smiled and said, "I have heard that the fifth uncle's handwriting is elegant and handsome, and I have never had the chance to meet him. This time I borrowed Jingjie'er's blessing to ask for the fifth uncle's Spring Festival couplet. How dare I say 'dislike'?"
Dou Shishu was still humble, and Dou Shiheng said impatiently: "Family, why are you so polite? If you want to ask for a few calligraphy and paintings from Brother Wu, just come to the door and say it. However, Brother Wu's calligraphy is half due to his diligence when he was young, and half because he is now a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Don't have too much hope!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they said something, Dou Shishu smiled and shook his head and sighed, "How can you tell me that my family members have their own positions?" Then he started chatting with Song Mo, "I heard from several old gentlemen in the Hanlin Academy that your handwriting is well written, and the emperor also asked someone to help him copy Buddhist scriptures. Who are you studying? What books have you read?"
"Study by Zhongyi Gong." Song Mo said seriously, "Follow Zhongyi Gong to read "Spring and Autumn"."
All the philosophers are as vast as the vast sea. The Four Books and Five Classics are old and poor. Even scholars who want to participate in the imperial examinations cannot read them all well. They usually choose one of them as their main practice direction. Mr. Zhongyi was even a great scholar in the classics of the times. The master of several princes died three years ago and was given the posthumous title of "Zhongyi".
"It seems that I have given the right book "Spring and Autumn"." Dou Shishu smiled and looked at Song Mo with a whisper. It was as if he had discovered his own kind, and there were subtle changes.
Dou Shiheng's expression also changed subtly, saying: "The Spring and Autumn Annals" is long and hard to remember. In order to pass the exam as soon as possible, few people can still read "The Spring and Autumn Annals". I didn't expect you to read "The Spring and Autumn Annals"."
He read "Spring and Autumn Annals".
Song Mo smiled and said, "I don't need the imperial examination, just study it slowly."
Dou Shiheng nodded: "It's rare." He actually put his shoulder on Song Mo to sit down and talk to him.
Ji couldn't help but laugh and laughed, and said hurriedly: "Master, what do you have to say? I'll ask the prince to come to his house someday and say the same. Today, let the prince meet his fifth sister-in-law and his nephews first."
Dou Shiheng laughed and patted his head. While smiling, he said, "Look at my memory", he interfered with Song Mo and introduced the fifth wife to him.
Because of the children's jokes, everyone stood together with a smile, which reduced Mu Su when they entered the door and a bit more lively and festive.
After Dou Zhao and Song Mo kowtowed to the fifth wife, the fifth wife personally brought Dou Zhao and handed Dou Zhao a box with red paint and gold, and smiled and said, "It's a jade hairpin. I wish you respect each other as guests and be old."
Compared to the previous visits to Dou Shishu and others, it is friendly and friendly.
Song Mo and Dou Zhao hurriedly thanked the fifth wife and kowtowed to the sixth wife.
The gift Ji should give them was a small self-ringing bell.
"So beautiful!" Dou Zhao liked it very much and thanked him repeatedly.
Ji smiled and said nothing, but helped Dou Zhao tidy up his clothes and then stepped aside.
Dou Ming couldn't help but his eyes turned red when he looked.
Thinking of Dou Shishu's seemingly friendly but casual arrogance when he returned to the door for three days; thinking of Dou Shishu and other elders who rewarded Wei Tingyu and Feng Hong with one hundred taels of silver notes...
Why do you treat her and Dou Zhao differently when you are also married?
She glanced at Wei Tingyu.
Wei Tingyu stood in the corner where no one was around, smiling embarrassedly.
Dou Ming bit his lip tightly.
She called Song Mo "brother-in-law" and smiled and said, "What kind of meeting gift have you and your sister prepared for me?"
Song Mo smiled and handed Feng Hong to her, and then teased Dou Jingyuan with a smile: "Sister Jing got my Feng Hong, haven't you saluted me yet?"
Dou Jingyuan covered her mouth and smiled, and respectfully saluted Song Mo and Dou Zhao.
Gao Sheng came over to invite everyone to the East Hall seat: "The wine and food are ready!"
Everyone went to the West Hall with a smile.
No one paid attention to Dou Ming.
Dou Ming sneered and squeezed to sit beside Dou Zhao.
Dou Zhao just pretended not to see it, and slowly answered the fifth wife: "...Yizhitang has beautiful scenery and the prince has always lived there. If he wants to move, he will be very complicated. I am afraid that it will take two or three months to move. It would be better to live in Yizhitang."
The fifth wife nodded and said, "It's good. Your father-in-law is in his prime. Maybe one day you will reopen. You live in Yizhitang, and you are far away from her, so you will be quieter."
Seeing Dou Ming put his ears on his ears, Ji smiled and poured a glass of wine for the fifth wife, saying, "No matter how big the inner courtyard of the Duke of England's Duke's Mansion is, can it be bigger than Xi Dou? Since Shou Gu can preside over the central gift of Xi Dou, she can't preside over the central gift of the Duke of England? Even if she has something to do, isn't you still there? Don't worry about her! Her life is better!" After interrupting the fifth wife, he ordered the maid to see what dishes there were. When talking about the dried fruits of Chunfangzhai to the fifth wife, the fifth wife talked about the blessing tangerines on the table: "Their blessing tangerines are delicious, and I don't know how they are made?"
Ji smiled and said, "I don't think it tastes delicious as if Fujian orange cakes are."
He changed his words.
Dou Ming knew that Ji was guarding her. She kicked Han gently and whispered: "Your mother-in-law is quite difficult to serve?"
Han moved quietly, and set a distance between Dou Ming in an inconspicuous way, and laughed in a low voice: "My mother-in-law is pretty good! It's just that the Ji family is dedicated to eating and fine food!"
She used to sympathize with Dou Ming without love, but since the incident of the fact that her sisters were easily married, she felt that she was too naive and thought about some things too simply.
