Chapter 435 Xiaoding(1/2)
Dou Zhao came out after feeding Yuan Ge'er, but she never dreamed that the Empress Dowager would play cards with Concubine Shi early in the morning, and she even kept her to make a corner. It was almost noon, and her milk was enough, so she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
Hearing that the Empress Dowager kept her to continue wiping the cards in the afternoon, she glanced at the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess immediately realized Dou Zhao's dilemma.
She pondered for a moment and asked with a smile: "Mrs. Princess of England, have the family affairs been arranged?"
Dou Zhao hurriedly said, "I am breastfeeding myself, but I also have a wet nurse at home... I will ask someone to explain to them and let them take good care of the children."
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she said "Huh" and said strangely: "You breastfeed your child? Be careful to lose your body."
Dou Zhao smiled and said, "You can know the most about family affairs. The prince takes children seriously and others are worried."
The Empress Dowager laughed twice and raised her hand to put Dou Zhao back: "Go and take care of the child. When he gets older, bring it into the palace to show me. I remember he is only one day younger than Brother Chong."
Dou Zhao respectfully thanked him. Seeing that the Crown Princess had no intention of leaving, he retreated alone.
The Crown Princess bent her knees and saluted the Empress Dowager: "The Emperor's Grandmother is really a Bodhisattva's heart."
The Empress Dowager pointed the Crown Princess with a false note and said angrily: "You open your mouth and will make me happy." Then, "I am giving you grace, what's the matter with the Bodhisattva?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The Crown Princess smiled and stepped forward to pinch the shoulders of the Queen Mother, "Every granddaughter-in-law knows it, so she stayed to thank the Emperor's grandmother!"
The Empress Dowager smiled and looked at the Crown Princess with a very kind look.

Dou Zhao, who had left the palace, breathed a sigh of relief and ordered Ganlu: "Go back quickly!"
Ganlu thought something had happened, and her face turned pale and hurriedly ordered.
Dou Zhao was embarrassed and had to let Ganlu continue to misunderstand and hurried back to Jing'an Temple Hutong.
Brother Yuan was crying.
He was used to his mother's smell and refused to eat his tits milk.
Dou Zhao hurriedly took the child over.
The child began to eat big chews of breastfeeding.
Dou Zhao was so heartbroken that he was trembling.
From this point of view, it would be better for her not to go anywhere before the child was weaned.
Only then did she realize the importance of the wet nurse.
But looking at the peaceful and satisfied expression of the child when he was breastfeeding, Dou Zhao's heart suddenly turned into a pool of water, and she felt that no matter how much inconvenience and trouble she was happy.
She touched the child's shiny black hair and remembered the princess who rescued her.
Such a delicate and slim woman died in the end. Is this considered a beauty’s life?
She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of the Third Emperor's grandson who was only one day older than Yuan Ge'er.
When Song Mo came over, she couldn't help asking him: "What kind of person is the prince?"
Song Mo smiled and said, "What? Have you suffered grievances from the Crown Princess?"
"What!" Dou Zhao glanced at him and said, "Do I have suffered any grievances in the palace? Do you not know? I went to the East Palace. The eunuchs from the East Palace were entertaining me with a cup of clear water."
People with milk children are afraid of tea.
Song Mo laughed, leaned over and kissed Yuan Ge'er who was sleeping, and said with a smile: "He was taught by the Grand Secretary. Of course, he abides by the Confucianism. There is nothing to worry about."
Or is it true that the saying "A gentleman deceives him with a pretext" is that the prince in his previous life failed?
This thought flashed through Dou Zhao's mind.
She asked about Song Mo's return to the house: "What does the prince say about his mother's dowry?"
"Of course I won't pay it back." Song Mo sneered, "I said I would go to Dali Temple with me to sue. But when I proposed to exchange three farms worth a total of 7,000 taels of silver for the property under Song Han's name, he immediately changed his words and asked me to add three more shops, so he returned my mother's dowry to me. Maybe Song Han was going to get married, and he wanted Song Han to be more glorious. I was too lazy to argue with him, so I agreed. I asked Liao Bifeng to buy three shops on the street and go to Shuntian Mansion to get the contract in two days."
"It's good." Dou Zhao said, "I just give you a few taels of silver, just think that you rewarded people, so as not to get angry with them and hurt your body in vain."
Song Mo nodded.
The industry has been distributed to Song Han. He was worried that Song Han would jump over the wall in a hurry and sell the things left by Jiang's family sporadically. If you want to restore it, it would be even more troublesome. It would be better to get Jiang's industry for the time being.
As for the farm shops for Song Han, it depends on who is taking care of them. Now it is worth ten thousand taels of silver, but it may not be worth ten thousand taels of silver in the future.
Dou Zhao talked about what he had decided tomorrow: "...Is it appropriate for me not to participate?"
"What's wrong?" Song Mo said with a smile, "Isn't you allowed anyone to have any urgent matters? Besides, I will go then, and they won't have time to care about you."
Dou Zhao was puzzled.
Song Mo smiled and said, "I'll keep it a secret first, you'll know then."
I guess I will use some damage to Song Yichun again.
Dou Zhao smiled with a pursed lips.
Song Mo felt sorry for her feeling uncomfortable today and said softly: "I will help you with illness on the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet on August 15th?"
Dou Zhao was a little hesitant.
They are fighting with Song Yichun, and the support in the palace is very important.
Song Mo said: "It's okay, I'll do this!"
Dou Zhao believed in Song Mo and no longer asked more questions.
Early the next morning, Song Mo went to Yuanping County and entered a teahouse not far from the Miao family.
Yan Chaoqing, Xia Lian and others had been waiting in the hall of the teahouse, and the owner of the teahouse was carrying a teapot and serving him diligently like a waiter.
Seeing Song Mo coming in, Yan Chaoqing and others immediately stood up and said, "Master, the private room has been packed. When you lean against the window, you can see pedestrians on the street as soon as you open it..."
Song Mo nodded at him with a smile and went to the private room on the second floor.
The owner of the teahouse rushed over to serve and was stopped by Wuyi: "Our master likes quietness. If there is something wrong, he will call you."
The owner of the teahouse retreated embarrassedly.
The sun gradually rose, and there were more and more pedestrians on the street. Through the Goryeo paper-paste window sash, you could vaguely hear the noisy voices outside. Wuyi walked in quickly.
"Master, the person has arrived."
Song Mo nodded, handed the book in his hand to Wuyi, and said, "Ask the boss how much it costs. Take it back for his wife to see."
It was a travel notation for people to enjoy in the private room of the teahouse. Just now, Song Mo was idle and opened it to take a look. He found it quite interesting. So he decided to go back.
Wu Yi smiled and stuffed the book into his arms, accompanied Song Mo downstairs.
The Miao family invited the Wanping County Magistrate Jie Wan and the County Magistrate Ma Hao as matchmakers. The British Duke's Mansion came to Xiaoding, so naturally, two parents and officials were indispensable.
Ma Hao arrived early in the morning, but Jie Wan relied on his identity. Seeing that the auspicious time was approaching, it had not appeared yet.
Miao's father sent Miao Ansu's brother Miao Anping to ask Jie Wan.
Miao Anping thought that Xie Wan, who was sitting in the sedan chair, received Xie matchmaker from their family's 300 taels of silver, and then agreed to be a matchmaker for his girl. He couldn't be happy.
The marriage was just the beginning, and the Miao family had already spent 1,000 taels of silver.
If this continues, I am afraid that this wedding will not be able to be beaten without 3,000 taels of silver.
They only prepared two thousand taels of silver. Who should I find to fill the holes of the other thousand taels of silver?
Miao Anping was extremely worried. He couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded when walking.
I collided with the person coming out of the restaurant next to me.
He yelled "Ouch" and fell to the ground.
But the other party had nothing to do, and he didn't look at him at all. He walked straight forward as if nothing had happened.
This is Wanping County, who doesn’t know their Miao family!
What's more, Lord County Zun is right next to him.
Miao Anping got up and grabbed the man's sleeve: "You are going to leave like this if you hit someone? You don't even pay a gift? Are you too unreasonable?"
Because today the people from the Duke of England were coming to make a decision. He wore a newly made cocoon silk Taoist robe and spent almost four taels of silver, and it was completely ruined.
But before he could get stuck in the man's sleeve, someone rushed out and grabbed his hand, saying in a deep voice: "Where is the scoundrel coming from? Don't you see who we are? I'll ask someone to remove your dog's paws. The heads of Shuntian Mansion will say we are doing well!"
Miao Anping looked carefully and saw that the person who grabbed his hand was only fifteen years old. He was handsome and beautiful. Although he was dressed as a servant, the material of his clothes was made from fine knots made from Guangdong. He got six taels of silver per piece, which was very rich and decent.
He knew that he had met servants from wealthy families.
Wanping is very close to Kyoto, and most of the meritorious families are in Wanping, and such people often appear.
He couldn't help but feel excited and said loudly: "Murder someone to pay for his life, and he owes debts. You hit me and didn't even say anything to apologize. You just wanted to leave like this. How could this be the reason! If you don't say anything else, pay me the clothes on me first. Six taels of silver, pay it quickly! Otherwise, we will meet Shuntian Mansion! Our in-laws are the British Duke. Don't say I'll bully you..."
The person in front stopped hearing this and glanced back at Miao Anping.
Miao Anping felt a thrill.
He had never seen such a delicate and graceful boy standing there casually, and he felt as if he was in the wind.
Miao Anping was suddenly a little weak.
The young man had already said, "Are you from the Wanping Miao family?"
