The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2114
In the evening, Dou Xiaoguo came out from the Ministry of Rites. During the day, he received Xuan Shijing's post. Therefore, when the time came, Dou Xiaoguo packed up and left the Ministry of Accounts.

The old man's post, he dare not fail to keep the appointment.

Fortunately, at the Ministry of Rites, after handing in the roster, there is nothing particularly urgent.

Riding a horse to Daozhengfang and entering the gate, Dou Xiaoguo handed the horse over to the servants in the mansion, and hurried to the living room by himself.

"Master, Mr. Dou is here." The butler knocked on the door of Xuan Shijing's study and said standing outside.

"Let him come to the study to find me." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes."

The butler went downstairs to greet Dou Xiaoguo, Dou Xiaoguo followed the butler upstairs, came to the door of Xuan Shijing's study, knocked on the door, and only pushed the door open after hearing Xuan Shijing's voice.

"Father-in-law." Dou Xiaoguo bowed his hands and saluted.

"Find a place to do it yourself." Xuan Shijing raised his head, looked at Dou Xiaoguo with a pleasing expression and said.

Dou Xiaoguo nodded and sat on a chair beside him.

"I called you here to ask you about the Ministry of Rites. Of course, you don't need to be too nervous. I still know what to ask and what not to ask about official affairs." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, please, my father-in-law." Dou Xiaoguo said.

"Who selected the list presented to His Majesty by the Ministry of Rites?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"This is an official from the Ministry of Rites. In Chang'an City, he inquired about the women in the boudoir of the official's family in Chang'an City, and then drew up the first list with the birthdays of those women on it. Later, the list was sent to the Qin Dynasty. The Tianjian has selected a group of people whose birthdays are suitable, and here is the second batch of lists, which is also the list presented to His Majesty, and it was not specially selected by anyone." Dou Xiaoguo said truthfully.

"As for the roster, your boss has asked you for your opinion?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Dou Xiaoguo nodded: "I asked, my son-in-law has also read the booklet, and there is nothing wrong with it, and there is no taboo."

"That is to say, you know who is on the roster." Xuan Shijing said: "On the roster, there is a girl named Wang Yufan, who is the daughter of Dr. Wang Shouli, the son of the country. You also know that?"

Dou Xiaoguo replied: "It seems that there is such a girl, father-in-law, is there any problem with this girl?"

They were all taken out and said separately, if Dou Xiaoguo still can't feel anything, then he is too dull.

"There is nothing special about this girl. What's more, her father, Wang Shouli, used to have contacts with the Langya Wang family. It can even be said that he once attached to the Wang family. Later, my Ang family participated in the Qianzhuang case. Bian'er, or Langya's hometown, was wiped out. Wang Shouli was a smart man, and he broke away from this relationship in advance, and he didn't leave any excuses. Therefore, he is still working as his doctor of Guozi in peace and security. , his daughter is in the roster, if this matter is brought up in the future and His Majesty finds out, you officials in the Ministry of Rites will not be able to escape responsibility."

"My son-in-law really doesn't know about this matter." Dou Xiaoguo said in surprise: "It's just that the Ministry of Rites followed the rules, and the officials below visited Chang'an City to inquire about it, so they got the first roster."

"The first roster, haven't you Shangshu read it?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"I've seen it, but I didn't say anything." Dou Xiaoguo said, "Father-in-law, could it be you, father-in-law, overthinking it?"

"It's better to think about it than not to think about it." Xuan Shijing said: "It's always good to be cautious, but since this booklet is handed in, you have to pay more attention to this matter. After all, you are the one who enters the palace to meet the saint." , In addition, when I was in the Ministry of Rites these few days, I tried my best to clarify this matter."

"Okay, my son-in-law understands." Dou Xiaoguo said.

Dou Xiaoguo also knows that so many people died because of the Qianzhuang case. His Majesty regards matters involving the Qianzhuang case as extremely important. The Wang family is gone. As for Wang Shouli and the daughter on his roster, I don’t know. Can it be said that it is harmless.

However, the matter of Wang Shouli's daughter appearing on the list really needs to be investigated carefully. The officials below did not handle this matter carefully enough. A Shangshu and two servants of the Ministry of Rites.

Unfortunately, Dou Xiaoguo is one of them.

After thinking about it, Xuan Shijing always had a bad feeling in his heart, and felt that there was something strange about it, but he couldn't figure out the reason.

"In Chang'an these few days, you should be so busy that you don't touch the ground, right?" Xuan Shijing laughed.

Now that the important matters are finished, Weng and his son-in-law can talk about some light things.

"Yes, my son-in-law has just taken office in the Ministry of Rites, and there are many things that need to be familiarized with quickly, and my son-in-law does not dare to neglect." Dou Xiaoguo said: "As my father-in-law said before, my son-in-law performed the crown ceremony and became the servant of the Ministry of Rites. , you have to be able to be an independent person, otherwise, how will you live your life well in the future, how will you give An An a stable home?"

Hearing what he said, Xuan Shijing was naturally happy.

His son-in-law cared about his daughter in his heart and knew how to make progress. In his eyes, this was better than anything else.

"Although you are young and have such a status, you should work hard, but don't push yourself too hard." Xuan Shijing said: "Even if you want to do something, you have to do it step by step. , will stay in Chang'an, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me, we are a family now, and I will not leave you alone."

"Thank you, my son-in-law, my father-in-law."

"Family, don't be so polite. I stay in Chang'an. In fact, there is one more thing, which is also the reason why I stay in Chang'an City. That is your marriage with An'an. This is something that the two adults are worried about. Dou's family On the side, I don’t know how, but on the Xuan family’s side, as an old father, I have to prepare the best for my daughter.” Xuan Shijing laughed.

When he became a father, it was inevitable that he would fall into this cliché and worry about his children.

"This point is the son-in-law's fault." Dou Xiaoguo said with some shame: "Originally, it should be the son-in-law who should take care of this matter the most."

Since he got engaged to An An, he only went to Zhuangzi once, and later, he became busy in Chang'an City.

However, as a man, Xuan Shijing can understand Dou Xiaoguo. At this stage, he can't take care of both. Anyway, he is still an elder and can help Dou Xiaoguo to relax. .
