Chapter 358 Spring Festival
Song Mo's words made Kuang Zhuoran and others stunned.
"Criminal Master," Kuang Zhuoran said hesitantly, "Did you say my father was deceived?"
Dou Dechang and Dou Qijun also had this idea. They looked at Song Mo with bright eyes, wanting to hear what Song Mo said.
That kind of listening and listening look made Song Mo laugh.
"That's not." He said, "I just think that their purpose is to take over the Kuang family's property. According to my understanding of the eunuchs, they usually do not have the patience to run such an industry. You should check who the newly appointed parent, Jiang Jie, is or whose brothers. Only with such a relationship can we talk to the eunuchs. Instead of asking for Fan Shichou, it is better to dig out Jiang Jie's back and rely on the Dou family's relationship in the Shilin to turn danger into a greater risk."
Kuang Zhuoran and others' eyes lit up as they heard this. Kuang Zhuoran even bowed to Dou Dechang: "Uncle Twelve, Bo Yan is about to participate in the spring exam. I'm afraid I have to ask you to ask for help inquire about this matter."
Although he and Song Mo met for the first time, he admired the keenness that Song Mo showed. However, he and Song Mo were too far apart in terms of status and friendship, so he really couldn't speak.
When they couldn't find someone, Dou Qijun's first thought of Dou Dechang, and Dou Dechang knew nothing. Just because it was Dou Qijun's order, he started to help find someone without saying a word. It can be seen that Dou Qijun and Dou Dechang not only have a good personal relationship, but also Dou Dechang is a person worthy of trust, so he had to turn to Dou Dechang for help.
When Song Mo and Dou Zhao saw that Kuang Zhuoran was still in prison, they could still think of Dou Qijun, so they could not help but look up to Kuang Zhuoran. Song Mo even said to Dou Dechang and Dou Qijun: "I think you two should not interfere in this matter, leave it to me." He said again, "Kuang Zhuoran, if you have anything to do, just look for me!"
Kuang Zhuoran was overjoyed and thanked Song Mo and Dou Dechang and Dou Qijun.
Song Mo's intervention is definitely much better than their headless flies like a headless flies.
Dou Qijun was happy that Song Mo intervened, and thanked Song Mo happily, and stood up happily to say goodbye.
Kuang Zhuoran and him went back to the inn, but Dou Dechang stayed.
Although the affairs of the Kuang family involved a big Tai Lin like Wang Yuan, his gossip heart burned like a raging fire.
He muttered to Song Mo: "I heard that Jinwu Guard has not had a holiday yet, so you can't do everything yourself, right? Or, I'll help you run errands?"
Song Mo knew that his father-in-law intended to adopt Dou Dechang to Xi Dou. Although the incident was gone later, his father-in-law was unwilling to take a concubine until today, and he even thought about retiring Wang. Although the Wang family took Wang home, whenever his father-in-law came to the door to talk about this matter solemnly, the Wang family would look around and refuse to respond. This matter would be a few more years. My father-in-law was already in his forties. In a few years, even if he wanted to add a child, he would have to adopt him in the end.
In terms of closeness and relatives, Dou Dechang is the best choice, not to mention that Dou Zhao grew up under the knees of Ji. He was happy to get close to Dou Dechang: "If you don't delay your homework, just help me run errands!"
Now Song Mo's subordinates crowed and thieves, and there were no such people, so there was no need for Dou Dechang to take action. However, since Dou Dechang was curious, he only had few things to let Dou Dechang do, just pretending that he had brought Dou Dechang to play.
Dou Dechang was overjoyed after hearing this and hurriedly said, "The school has already had a holiday. Classes will not start until the Lantern Festival, so you will not delay your homework or your homework."
"That's good!" Song Mo smiled and asked him to meet Chen at the palace gate tomorrow morning.
Dou Dechang left happily.
Dou Zhao asked Song Mo: "Do you really think that someone took Fan Shichou's tiger-skin dance banner in this matter?"
"I don't know yet." Song Mo said calmly and rationally, "You have to check it before you can confirm it."
Dou Zhao couldn't help but curl his lips.
Song Mo smiled and twisted Dou Zhao's cheeks and went to the clean room.
Dou Zhao thought of Wang Yuan from Wang Ge.
If she said that Wang Yuan did not participate in the palace revolution in her previous life, she would not believe it no matter what.
But why did Wang Yuan think that King Liao will succeed?
When did he surrender to the King of Liao?
What conditions did the King of Liao impress Wang Yuan?
Dou Zhao thought of the things that Gu Yu came from the Liao King's warehouse, and Zhang Zhiqi from Risheng Silver Building...
To rebel requires money.
And it's a lot of money.
Before success, it is like a bottomless pit.
I can't fill up much money.
The Kuang family's annual investment of 30,000 taels of silver is the kind of transaction that has been made long ago, and only makes money but not loses. It is exactly what the Liao King needs.
Dou Zhao always wanted to warn Song Mo and King Liao of his ambitions, but there was no right time.
She vaguely felt that if this matter really had something to do with Wang Yuan, it might be a chance for her and Song Mo.
While paying close attention to the movements of the Kuang family, Dou Zhao began to arrange the New Year for the Duke of England.
The New Year's Eve sacrifices, in addition to the New Year's Eve dinner in the harem, the grand pilgrimage on the first day of the lunar month, the second day of the lunar month, the third day of the lunar month, the family banquet on the fourth day of the lunar month, the spring banquet on the sixth day of the lunar month to the Lantern Festival, everything changes with the scenery, the Spring Festival of the Duke of the United Kingdom's Duke of the United Kingdom's Duke of the United Kingdom's Duke of the United Kingdom's Duke of the United Kingdom's family that not only participates in royal celebrations but also socializes with colleagues. There are many things, which is not inferior to the busyness of one state and one government during the New Year, and is far from the ordinary family of officials.
Fortunately, Dou Zhao is familiar with this and can't help her no matter what it is.
The nannies in charge first saw Dou Zhao's methods and the abilities of the housekeeper Dou Zhao. They were all self-righteous and dared not underestimate them. Dou Zhao released the wind and said that he had no intention of making a big move. As long as he was competent, he would continue to keep it. No matter who he was, he would take care of me. None of the nannies in charge wanted to be the chicken that scared the monkey, and tried his best to keep the job. Dou Zhao's words were more effective than the imperial edict, and she had arranged everything in just two days.
Dou Zhao took out the money he had paid for. The well-employed nanny rewarded each of them with ten taels of silver. If there was no mistake in doing things, each of them would be rewarded two taels of silver.
For a time, the British Duke's Mansion praised Dou Zhao as if he was a Bodhisattva.
Song Yichun seemed to be slapped in the face.
The reason why he gave Dou Zhao so easily the power to preside over the gift of the Duke of England was to Dou Zhao. In addition to the situation, it was more important to see that Dou Zhao, who had never had the experience of managing the Duke of England, was frustrated and thankless.
But unexpectedly, he helped Dou Zhao instead.
Song Yichun was both angry and annoyed. On the way to Baohe Palace for the New Year's Eve dinner, he kept his face sternly, and did not glance at Dou Zhao and his wife at the corner of his eyes.
If Song Mo didn't see it, Dou Zhao wouldn't take it seriously.
This is like a defeated general under his command. He has no power to resist. Who cares whether he is happy or angry?
In the main hall of Baohe Hall, there were civil and military ministers and relatives valued by the emperor, and the back hall was respected by the Empress Dowager, with the Empress and the wife inside and outside.
Dou Zhao had no intention of having a relationship with the Empress Dowager, the Empress or the Crown Prince, and sat there honestly, occasionally whispering a few words with Mrs. Changxing Houzi and Mrs. Xingguo Duke, who performed in a normal manner and had no outstanding performance.
But there are some things that you can't hide just by wanting.
The palace maid next to the Crown Princess gave Dou Zhao a big welcome pillow and whispered: "The Crown Princess said, let you cushion so that you won't hurt your waist."
Dou Zhao thanked him quietly, but looked up but found that he became the focus of the audience.
She quickly lowered her head.
But the Empress Dowager still pointed at her and said, "Is this a wife from God?"
The Empress smiled and said, "Your old eyes are still so good--she is Da Dou, the wife of the Prince of the British Mansion."
The Empress Dowager said with interest: "Who is Xiao Dou?"
"The Marquis of the Marquis of Jining." The Empress smiled, "He is half-sister with the Prince of England. The Marquis of the Prince of England is the eldest daughter of Dou Wan-Dou of Hanlin Academy, and the Marquis of Jining is the second daughter."
The Wei family is not qualified to attend such a banquet, so Dou Ming is not in the hall.
"There is such a thing?" The Empress Dowager became even more interested. "Who is the Da Dou family? Who is the Xiao Dou family? "
"Little Dou is a relative since childhood. The British Duke personally took a look at Dou Zhao." The Empress looked at Dou Zhao and smiled.
The Empress Dowager looked at Dou Zhao carefully and smiled and said, "This child is pretty good. Next time the grand ceremony, please point the little Dou family to me."
The Empress smiled and said, "There is still a matter of things. You must not know that my ancestors--Dou is pregnant and has a period of time before and after the delivery date of the Crown Princess, but only a few days apart."
"This is a good time!" The Empress Dowager was at her age and liked to see the import of the children. She gave Dou Zhao a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads, a pair of peace buckles, a few pieces of plain silk for children to make clothes, and a piece of big red silk for the spring used to make children's quilts.
Dou Zhao stepped forward to thank him.
The Empress Dowager smiled and waved her hand, signaling her to step down, and lowered her head to discuss the scene with the Empress Dowager. The wife of Changxing, who was only concerned about joking with the Empress Dowager, and the Empress, was ignored by others, and became obviously enthusiastic about Dou Zhao. Even the wife of Duke Xingguo, who seemed a little dull, also looked at her twice more.
Dou Zhao nodded kindly to Mrs. Xingguo Duke.
In her previous life, even if the Jining Marquis Mansion was revived in her hands, there was still a certain gap compared with a nobleman like the Duke of Xingguo. She had no friendship with the Duke of Xingguo at all, but she knew that after Duke of Xingguo was stripped of his title in the Duke of England, she waited for the defeat of the Duke of Changxing Marquis Mansion and became the first among the nobles of Kyoto with her low-key and tolerant attitude.
Because he received the reward from the empress dowager, after the first day of the dynasty meeting, Dou Zhao first thanked the empress, then went to Cining Palace to thank him, and waited for the inner palace, which was not right.
Du Ming was waiting for Song Mo in the small study anxiously.
Seeing Dou Zhao and Song Mo coming together, he saluted respectfully and said, "Criminal Master, Madam, I found out that Jiang Jie was the nephew of Dai Jian Dai Ge's wife's cousin, and the disciple of Mu Chuan Mu Ge's assistant minister of the Ministry of Works and the Grand Secretary of the Zhongji Hall."
