Chapter 359: Her Maternal Family

Dai Jian and Wang Yuan had a close personal relationship, but Mu Chuan was the Empress's man. Both of them were instructing Wang Ge.

Who is it?

Song Mo thought for a while and said, "I'll go and ask Wang Ge directly, pick out the Kuang family first."

But Wang Ge still sold his face to him for 20,000 taels of silver a year.

Dou Zhao thought differently.

In his previous life, after the Liao King ascended the throne, Dai Jian served as the chief minister of the cabinet for a period of time. Unlike the peaceful and prosperous times when the emperor was reigned, the court situation after the Liao King ascended the throne was a bit complicated. He had a certain ability and was eventually forced to retire. Later, he was involved in the case of Jun Shang's corruption, and his home was confiscated and exiled, and died halfway.

Both of these two people have a close relationship with the King of Liao.

She told Dou Songmo: "Escorts will all revenge their grievances. Be careful, don't offend Eunuch Wang for this matter."

"I know." Song Mo laughed and kissed her on the cheek, reminding her, "Hurry up and dress up, I'll go and wish you a happy New Year to the old lady and Princess Ningde."

Today is the second year of junior high school, and I will go to my uncle's house.

Song Mo's uncles were not in Kyoto, so he left his uncle Lu's family.

Dou Zhao laughed, wearing a big red lantern-shaped silk-carved silk-sleeved jacket that suits the situation, and wearing a beaded silk-filled head and face. Because of her pregnancy, her skin that was originally about to be broken is not only like frost or snow, but also rosy and charming, and her whole body looks brilliant and bright, making people feel refreshed when they look at it.

Princess Ningde felt happy when she saw her, and took her hand and smiled at the relatives who came to greet her in the room and said, "This child, no wonder the Empress Dowager has to praise her for 'good looks'."

Everyone laughed.

Princess Ningde's granddaughter, Feng, the third wife of Duke Jingguo's mansion, was making fun next to her: "When did my grandmother see that her cousin and sister-in-law were not happy, it should be like we were all rubble."

The third grandmother of the Lu family had always been afraid of her aunt's mouth, so she hurriedly pulled her: "The Empress Dowager gave her two baskets of tribute oranges from Fujian. Please help me peel a few oranges for the elders."

Princess Ningde likes clean and refreshing people, and she can't help but serve around her. People who are not allowed to do this kind of thing like peeling oranges have never been able to get involved.

Mrs. Zhang knew the nature of her grandmother. While getting up and going to the tea room with her grandmother Lu's family, she pretended to be aggrieved and complained: "I will support me in my work. I don't think about it. I am a aunt. Is this how any aunt treats her when she returns to her parents' home?"

Grandma Lu retorted: "Today is your brother and sister-in-law's day, you have to come with me. What's the solution?"

It made everyone laugh.

Several juniors from the Lu family took the opportunity to greet Princess Ningde and Mrs. Lu and asked for red envelopes.

Mrs. Zhang San's sister-in-law, Feng Shao's wife, whispered to Dou Zhao: "I heard that your sister miscarriages because the wife of Jining Hou Mansion sets rules for her. Isn't it true?"

This is the first time Dou Zhao has heard of Dou Ming’s miscarriage.

She was shocked.

Fortunately, she was a human being in two lives and experienced a lot. This surprise was just a flash of her face and returned to normal.

"During this time, I was pregnant with my baby." Dou Zhao smiled, "No one told me about the outside world, and I don't know whether it is true or false."

The eleventh grandmother of the Feng family was a little unhappy and felt that Dou Zhao was too sensible and did not treat her as her family.

She talked about the royal gossip to the second grandma Lu who was sitting beside her: "...Princess Yuanfu has already married, I wonder who will Princess Jingyi and Princess Jingtai marry? Princess Jingyi was raised by the Empress. But Princess Jingtai was raised by Concubine Shu who did not give birth to a prince. Why is she so confident that she will choose to marry someone who won't get married?"

Grandma Lu smiled and said, "How do I know that this emperor's daughter has no worries about marriage?"

But Dou Zhao knew.

Although this concubine Shu did not give birth to a prince, she could not resist her parents' good at dancing and versatile.

The word "Shu" was not only given to Queen Wan's title, but also after King Liao became the only concubine who lived in Cining Palace with Queen Wan.

She sat there with a smile and listened to the people in the room, but her heart was like Dou Ming's incident.

Logically speaking, Dou Ming had a miscarriage. No matter how bad the relationship between Dou Ming was, he should have told her. No matter whether it was Jing'ansi Hutong or Huaishu Hutong, he didn't know her. Is Grandma Feng Shiyi's saying true? She was pregnant, and everyone was afraid that she would be upset if she knew, so she didn't tell her?

When she got home, she asked Song Mo.

Song Mo obviously knew it a long time ago.

He said, "Mrs. Sixth and aunt both told me not to tell you, and the Jining Marquis' Mansion did not make any noise when giving New Year's Day gifts, so I didn't tell you."

In fact, he didn't want Dou Zhao to pay too much attention to the affairs of the Jining Hou Mansion.

Dou Zhao asked him: "So, is it true that Dou Ming was made by her mother-in-law to have a miscarriage?"

Song Mo nodded: "That's what Mrs. Six and aunt said."

Dou Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

In her previous life, she married into the Wei family and her first child also had a miscarriage.

But her miscarriage is her responsibility.

Speaking of which, Tian is a person with no opinion and no mind. He can let Tian use this method to bother Dou Ming, and there is no other person except Wei Tingzhen.

From Dou Zhao's perspective, Tian is a person who is easy to get along with. As long as you coax her and lower your posture, she will feel sorry for you and treat you as someone who needs her protection. In her previous life, she found a way to get Tian's recognition and then grasped Wei Tingzhen through Tian's.

Dou Ming has been married less than half a year and has stood opposite to his mother-in-law and sister-in-law. I'm afraid there will be "good" days waiting for her in the future.

Is this the "benefit" she got after deliberately marrying her?

Dou Zhao smiled sarcastically.

Since the sixth aunt and aunt didn't want her to be upset about Dou Ming's affairs, she pretended not to know. The next day, she changed into a royal blue garland, a horse-faced skirt with plain face embroidered rose-red lotus pattern, and changed into a green silk head and face. She accompanied Song Mo back to her parents' home in a jewel-like manner.

Dou Shiying was very happy when she saw her daughter. She didn't mention Dou Ming's incident, but said to her: "Your eleventh brother took your wife back to her parents' home to greet the elders of her parents' home. Your sixth uncle and your sixth aunt will bring your twelfth brother to dinner later."

Dou Zhao was naturally overjoyed and took Gao Sheng's family to the inner courtyard to wish her aunt and cousin a happy new year. Song Mo and Dou Shiying went to the study.

The maid came up with a teacup.

Looking at the bright and mellow tea with the soup, Song Mo couldn't help but sigh for himself.

The teacup is the best Tieguanyin.

But Dou Shiying was ignorant and kept persuading Song Mo: "I specially asked someone to make it in Anxi, Fujian. How about it tastes? If you think it is OK, I'll pack it for you later."

Looking at his father-in-law's expression of anticipation and praise, what else could Song Mo say besides being flattered and grateful?

Dou Shiying smiled with satisfaction. He talked about his errands to Song Mo: "The Jinwu Guard is the emperor's personal army, and as long as he is responsible to the emperor, it will be done. The five cities of the military and horses are different. They have a lot of dealing with the common people. How to uphold justice? Revenge for the people has become the main responsibility. You must pay attention to grasping the differences between the two families. Since you cannot lose the emperor's heart, you cannot lose the people's heart..."

Song Mo listened carefully, more respectful than being in front of the emperor, but muttered in his heart, "I don't want to be an emperor, who do you want the people to be? Just be fine if things are done, if you are too much, you may even lose your heart."

Dou Shiying didn't know what Song Mo was thinking. Seeing that Song Mo looked obediently, he couldn't help but think of another son-in-law Wei Tingyu.

The daughter had a conflict with her mother-in-law, and as a son-in-law, it must be a headache. Even if she favored her mother, she was still in love. But Wei Tingyu pushed all the mistakes to Dou Ming and took Dou Ming's dowry, asking Dou Ming to follow the Tian family to learn the rules. He didn't think about Dou Minghuai's Wei family's bones and blood, and he had no husband and wife at all... This made him feel uncomfortable when he thought about it.

Dou Shiying couldn't help but feel a little unhappy between her eyebrows.

Song Mo was secretly surprised. While talking to Dou Shiying, he reflected on his words and deeds just now.

Nothing wrong answer?

Song Mo thought for a long time but couldn't find the reason why Dou Shiying frowned.

Dou Shiying had already put this matter behind his mind, which was his usual attitude towards things that gave him headaches.

He asked Song Mo: "I heard that Shou Gu is now presiding over the central gifts of the Duke of England's mansion. Is she busy? Do I want me to buy a few more maids and wives to serve her?"

"No need!" Song Mo was not that sentimental person either. He didn't know at this time, but then he would know after Chacha. He also threw the uneasiness in his heart aside and said, "Shou Gu said that there are regular rules for the family affairs, and she just did it as she did. It was very relaxed. If we were too busy, we would definitely ask our father-in-law to help."

What this said made Dou Shiying feel so appropriate as if she had drunk a cup of hot tea.

He thought for a while, took out a box as big as a palm from the hidden chamber under the desk and handed it to Song Mo: "Let's see if you like it?"

When Song Mo opened it, it was a dark and dirty thing like an old tree root.

He changed color slightly and said, "Isn't this the legendary meteorite inkstone?"

"That's right!" Seeing Song Mo accepting the goods, Dou Shiying said proudly, "This piece is the meteorite inkstone called "Flying Immortal in the Sky". I'll give it to you. Whether you go back to use it yourself or keep my grandson to use it, it's a rare thing."

It's not just rare, it's simply precious.

Ordinary people have such an inkstone, and they should be a family heirloom.

Song Mo thought that his father-in-law was a scholar, just like a sword to a famous scholar and a pink to a hero. In his father-in-law's eyes, this inkstone was more valuable. He wanted to refuse, but when he saw Dou Shiying's expression of expectation in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel trembling in his heart.

Father-in-law, are you lonely?

For so many years, he has lived in the circle he has drawn. He is unwilling to walk out of others. After a long time, others don’t know how to walk in, and he doesn’t know how to walk out of others.

When he thought of his father-in-law's unpreparedness to him, his eyes suddenly became a little wet.

"Father-in-law!" Song Mo smiled with a saliva, "Since you have left so many good inks, you must have also left good ink? What's the use of having inks or not? Why would you like to give me some good ink? Your grandson will end up in the future and don't have good ink, so how can you write good words!"

Dou Shiying laughed loudly and was in a very happy mood.

He waved to Song Mo: "Follow me - I really have the same piece of good ink hidden here. It was collected by Aunt Shou, so I will give it to you together!"

Song Mo followed him to the warehouse.

The family of my sixth uncle Dou Shiheng arrived.
