Ninefold Purple

The second lady was also shocked by the news.

Regardless of her advanced age, she was about to get up and go to the alley of Jing'an Temple to ask what happened, but was stopped by the fifth wife who looked tired: "This matter, let's wait until the master comes back to worry about it? The important thing is , how can I give the Ji family an explanation?"

The British government is not the Marquis of Jining. Now that they have already offered the appointment, even if they go back on their word, it still depends on whether the British government agrees to it. Fang Zhou has already become the chief envoy of Zhejiang. How should this favor be repaid?What do you pay for?The fifth wife felt confused when she thought about it, and she couldn't help saying: "What's wrong with the seventh uncle? Even if you don't agree to the Ji family's marriage, you should discuss it with the master. How could you just agree to the British Duke's marriage rashly?" What kind of family is the British government? That is the adopted son of the Taizu, a prominent family who has been favored for several dynasties! The eldest son of their family, what kind of young lady can't marry, actually wants to marry the Dou family, and wants to marry just now. There is a sister who is easy to marry. I am afraid that there is something wrong with this son...wouldn’t this harm Shougu!" He said, "If there is a decent woman in Uncle Qi’s family to help preside over the gift, It can't be messed up like this!"

The Second Wife kept nodding, and told Nanny Liu: "Go and find out what kind of person is the eldest son of the British government?"

Grandma Liu stepped back in response. [

The second wife discussed with the fifth wife: "Over there at the Ji family, do you want the sixth daughter-in-law to pass a message?"

This is not an ordinary marriage, relying on a few women to make peace there, this is an agreement between the two families, and there are many twists and turns in it, the six younger siblings are a girl, how can the Dou family bring her forward?Even if they wanted to, the sixth sibling might not be able to afford it!

The fifth wife didn't want her mother-in-law to worry, so she smiled and said, "Even if you want to invite the sixth sibling to come forward, you should let the master know."

The daughter-in-law respects her son, and no mother-in-law is unhappy.

The second wife nodded, and waited with the fifth wife until Dou Shishu came back.

Dou Shishu didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Seventh brother, are you really married to the British government?" He asked again in disbelief.

The Fifth Wife nodded: "Although I didn't go in, the Song family's dowry was placed in the main courtyard, and the main entrance was open in all directions, allowing the neighbors to watch, 120 four times, I definitely can't make a mistake."

Dou Shishu couldn't sit still anymore, and said, "I'm going to visit Jing'an Temple Hutong right now."

The fifth wife didn't go in at the beginning, she just wanted to cooperate with her husband. Before the husband made up his mind, she wouldn't say anything or do anything.

The two went to Jing'an Temple Hutong together.

Because it was already dusk, Dou’s family had already closed the gate, but the dowry gift of 120 four, plus the name of the British government, still made the neighbors of Dou’s family excited, and there were many discussions, so that Jing’an Temple Hutong was inexplicably filled. It has a lively and festive flavor.

The fifth wife frowned slightly.

Dou Shishu entered the door calmly.

The big red dragon and phoenix wedding boxes were neatly placed in the middle of the courtyard, and Dou Shiying, who heard the announcement, stepped forward to greet him with some resolute brows.

Dou Shishu couldn't help but heaved a long sigh in his heart, knowing that this matter would turn around again, he couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed, and said, "Have you found out about the Song family's affairs?"

When Dou Shiying received the dowry from the Song family, he was ready to be scolded by Dou Shishu. At this time, Dou Shishu was calmly concerned about Shougu's future, but he was slightly taken aback, feeling a little guilty in his heart, and couldn't help but whisper Said: "I have inquired about it... I have seen people too... Deserving of Shougu..."

Dou Shishu didn't say anything more, and asked about the process of getting married between the two families.

When he knew that Dou Shiying had written the marriage letter and set a wedding date on August 24, he couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Fifth. [

The fifth wife's face flushed immediately.

Dou Shiying murmured and explained: "The wedding date is a bit urgent, but while my uncle and wife are in the capital, it's better to settle Shougu's business earlier...

Dou Shishu nodded, smiled and told his wife: "Since Shougu is coming out of the pavilion soon, you can go and see her!" Then he said to Dou Shiying, "If you need your fifth sister-in-law's help, just ask."

How dare I ask you for help!

Dou Shiying muttered in her heart, but she only said yes.

Mrs. Fifth went to Dou Zhao's place.

Dou Shishu talked about Zhao Silai: "...He was promoted from Shangfeng to the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi, and he will be promoted to the Chief Secretary of Huguang soon. This is a good opportunity for him. Mr. Li, Chief Secretary of Huguang, has a boil on his back. I can't sleep at night, and this summer, the stench is hard to hide, and my energy is getting worse day by day."

Although he is the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments, he has been in the Ministry of Officials for more than [-] years, and he is a cabinet bachelor. How can these things be hidden from his ears.

Dou Shiying knows that this is Dou Shishu showing his favor to him, which can be regarded as making up for the harm done to the Dou sisters before.

Although he felt angry, his uncle's future could not be controlled by his selfishness.

Dou Shiying cupped his hands towards Dou Shiying, and said: "Brother, I have to rely on my fifth brother to take care of me."

"The Zhao family and our family have been friends for several generations. Ruifu and I are also old friends. What the seventh brother said is too strange."

Afterwards, the two discussed the government affairs again, and Dou Shishu and his wife went back home.

In the car, the fifth wife said to Dou Shishu: "The sixth younger brother and sister passed away when they got the news. When I passed by, she was sitting in Shougu's inner room crying? Hearing that tone, the eldest son of the British government has a bad temper... "

Before she could finish speaking, Dou Shishu waved his hand and said: "What's the use of talking about it now? You can just go to the wedding happily when the time comes." Then he said: "You go back first, and I will return to you later." Going to Yuqiao Hutong."

Mrs. Fifth hesitated and said, "It's so late..."

"The sooner this kind of matter is dealt with, the better." Dou Shishu said calmly, "Procrastinating and procrastinating will only make the Ji family think that we are perfunctory and we must show sincerity."

Mrs. Fifth was still a little worried, and said, "Master Fang's matter..."

Dou Shishu waved his hand and said, "I have my own opinion!"

The fifth wife didn't ask any more questions, got out of the carriage at the door of the house, sent the carriage respectfully out of the Huaishu alley, and then turned back to the mansion.

※※※※※

Old Mrs. Ji was lying on the drunkard's chair with his eyes half closed, thinking about Dou Shiying's failure to keep his appointment. [

I invited Dou Shiying myself, but I just wanted to make friends with Dou Shiying.But he bluntly rejected his invitation. There is only one possibility, that is, the Dou family told him the intention of the Ji family, and he is very dissatisfied with this marriage!

Seeing a good-looking talent, with fame and fame, and a youthful success, no matter how you look at it, he is the best candidate for a son-in-law. What is there to be dissatisfied with Dou Wanwan?

Why don't you send him another invitation tomorrow, and if he doesn't arrive, you can go to Jing'an Temple Hutong to visit him yourself.

People are afraid of facing each other.

Does he have the nerve to refuse this marriage in front of his own face?

Thinking of this, he asked loudly the boy who was accompanying him, "Has Master Sixteen come back yet?"

Ji Yong is ranked sixteenth at home.

Old Master Ji felt as if he hadn't seen Ji Yong for a few days.

The little servant hurriedly said, "Young one, I'll invite Master Sixteen right now."

Old Master Ji gave a "hmm", and a servant came in and said, "Old Master, Dou Ge from Huaishu Alley is here."

Old Mrs. Ji was very surprised, and repeatedly asked the young servant to invite Dou Shishu to sit in the flower hall, changed into a clothes for meeting guests, and went to the flower hall.

Dou Shishu got straight to the point and said why he came here, and said with shame on his face: "After all, this matter is all my fault. I didn't expect that after the fifth niece got married, the seventh brother didn't inform us because he was afraid that the fourth niece would not get married. I hurriedly married the British government..."

Even the seasoned old man Ji couldn't help showing a surprised expression: "How come?"

The important thing about children's marriage is not to buy vegetables and radishes, but to buy them when they can.

Where did this British government come from?

The British government's mansion is not the Marquis of Jining's mansion, but the real home of hairpin tassels, a prominent home that has been favored by the emperor for everlasting prosperity.

Don't say that he is a small Dou Wan, even he, it is impossible to instigate the British government to act with himself!

Old Master Ji couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Have you found out clearly, is it really the British government?"

Dou Shishu did not expect Mrs. Ji to ask such a question, but he thought that in the betrothal gift, there were not only annual surplus carved from a whole piece of Shoushan stone the size of a washbasin, but also brilliant silk and Sichuan embroidery, so how could the British government be the one? fake?

He said euphemistically: "This afternoon, the Song family carried a 120-four-carriage car to Jing'an Temple Hutong to apply for an appointment. That's when I found out. By the time I rushed there, it was already too late. Not only did the two families write a marriage letter, but even the wedding date was set on August 24." [-]th of July."

Old Master Ji couldn't help laughing.

The older I get, the more careless I am, to say such a thing.

He looked at Dou Shishu, who looked sincere in front of him, and turned his head quickly.

"Jianming's uncle has been in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, and has always wanted to repair Yixing's waterway, but if it is privately funded, it will inevitably be suspected of deceiving the world and stealing its name. It is better for the government to preside over it. Our Ji family should follow..."

Serving as an official will benefit one party.

But if it can benefit the hometown, it can last forever and benefit future generations.

Yixing is just a small county, how could it be in the eyes of the emperor?What's more, the imperial court continued to dredge the old canal and the Yellow River in the past two years.

Dou Shishu secretly smiled bitterly.

This is the Ji family asking for compensation.

Repaying debts is a matter of course.Can he not agree?

"It's a good thing." Dou Shiying smiled, "If Mr. Ji needs my help, just ask!"

Mrs. Ji sent Dou Shiying away with satisfaction.

Ji Yong is back.

His face was full of smiles and he was in high spirits. Seeing this, Mrs. Ji was stunned. He didn't know what to say, and was at a loss for words for a while.

It was Ji Yong who smiled and asked Old Master Ji: "What do you want from me?" It looked like I would leave if you didn't say anything.

Old Mrs. Ji thought about it, and then asked, "What did you do? I've been busy these days, so I haven't seen your shadow."

Ji Yong smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just went out for a few drinks with my friends." Then he yawned and said, "What's the matter, let's talk about it yesterday? I'm so sleepy."

After finishing speaking, no matter what Old Master Ji said, he went straight out of Old Master Ji's room, making Old Master Ji so angry that he only blew his beard.

Ji Yong secretly laughed in his heart.

He beat Wei Tingyu together with He Yu, and he felt much better.
