Ninefold Purple

Seeing her son-in-law looking towards her, Dou Shiying was secretly proud of herself, and became more and more pleasing to her son-in-law, saying: "I heard that your second son-in-law is going to get married? Have you ever set a date for the engagement? We will also join in the fun when the time comes."

Although Dou Shiying knows that Song Han's life experience has some twists and turns, he always feels that this is the grievance of the older generation and has nothing to do with Song Han. As long as Song Han is Song Mo's younger brother, as Song Mo's father-in-law, he will Save face for Song Mo.

Song Mo regards Dou Shiying as his father, so he is naturally unwilling to let him get involved in these messy matters, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "Because Ci Yu's marriage is very particular, and the next engagement period must be shown by the palace first, which is very troublesome. I'll just ask Liao Bifeng to invite you when the time comes."

The implication is to let him leave it alone.

Dou Shiying felt that Song Mo's words made sense, and he didn't like to socialize, so he was very satisfied with this arrangement. [

Dou Zhao went back to her natal family for a short stay, and lived in the east wing of the upper courtyard, while Song Mo was arranged in the small study in the east wing. Dou Zhao was fine, so he asked the servant girl to come over with needles and thread, and while doing needlework, she listened to Dou Shiying chatting with Song Mo .

Dou Shishu came to visit unexpectedly.

Dou Shiying was very surprised and said, "At this time?"

There's a curfew in town.

He handed the child to Dou Zhao and said, "I'll go and have a look."

Song Mo got up to send Dou Shiying off, and comforted him: "It's been quiet in the palace for the past few days, Uncle Fifth may be looking for you for something else."

Dou Shiying nodded and went to the study in the outer courtyard.

Dou Shishu was still wearing his official uniform, drinking tea while sitting on the grand teacher's chair in the study.Seeing Dou Shiying coming in, he was not polite, and said straight to the point: "The emperor wants to enlighten the emperor's eldest grandson, I want you to talk about it."

If Dou Shiying agrees to enlighten the eldest grandson of the emperor, he will be labeled as a prince, in case the Liao king succeeds.Isn't Dou Shiying going to suffer!

He hurriedly said: "Fortunately, father-in-law, you are so glorious, you are not moved by power, and you didn't immediately agree to Uncle Fifth. Uncle Fifth is so anxious. I think it is probably related to several adults in the cabinet. I will go to the palace tomorrow to transfer After one lap, it will not be too late for my father-in-law to make a decision."

Dou Shiying felt very relieved when he heard it, and nodded repeatedly, seeing that it was getting late.After repeatedly telling them to take good care of Brother Yuan, they went back to their room to rest.

Dou Zhao pursed his lips and smiled.Joking with Song Mo: "Your father-in-law is so glorious, so he won't be moved by power?"

Song Mo said sternly: "I'm telling the truth! If it were another person who knew that he might become the emperor's teacher, he would agree immediately. Only a person like father-in-law who is indifferent to fame and wealth would hesitate." Said, "I see people, there is nothing wrong."

Dou Zhao could only sigh.

It can be seen that there is also a relationship between people.

In his previous life, Wei Tingyu felt that his father was cowardly and capable, but now Song Mo felt that his father was indifferent to fame and wealth.

She couldn't help but put down her needle and thread, and said softly: "You have to go to the palace tomorrow, should you rest early? This place is no closer to Chang'an Street than home, you are afraid that you will get up at Yinshi."

Song Mo blinked at her, and said in a low voice, "Aren't you going to accompany me?"

Dou Zhao gently twisted his waist and said, "I'll deal with you when I go back."

Song Mo laughed haha, and went back to the south room which was turned into a small study.

Dou Zhao rested in the north room with the child and the nurse.

Early the next morning, while Dou Zhao and the child were still asleep, Song Mo and Dou Shiying had already left Jing'an Temple Hutong hand in hand.

Dou Shiying went to the Hanlin Academy, and Song Mo went to Jin Wuwei's guard in the palace.

Colleagues congratulated Song Han for being married.

Song Mo smiled and returned the salutes one by one.Only Dong Qi looked at Song Mo with a smile that was not a smile, and said indifferently, "Mr. Song's family is really a double happiness", and went to his valet.

Those with a bit of background in the family have their own ways to find out the news, and it is no secret that the Empress Dowager and Concubine Miao are at odds.Song Han married Concubine Miao's grandniece, and no one who knew the inside story would think it was a good marriage.

If it was in the past, Song Mo racked his brains to mess up this marriage, but now...he wouldn't take it to heart at all.

Putting on the court clothes and patrolling the palace, Song Mo was hesitating whether to ask the eunuch Wang Yuan directly for news or to sit in the pedestrian department when he saw the prince's sedan chair head-on. [

Song Mo avoided.

A servant next to the crown prince hurried over and said respectfully, "Lord Song, Your Highness the crown prince, please go over and talk."

Song Mo stepped forward to salute the prince.

The prince smiled and said: "I just came out of the Golden Luan Hall, and my father and several elders were discussing matters in the study. You can follow me to the East Palace to sit for a while."

Three years ago, the crown prince had already started to observe politics. When the emperor went to Dongyuan to escape the summer heat, he would also handle state affairs on behalf of the emperor with the assistance of cabinet ministers.

Song Mo answered "Yes" with a smile, and followed the prince to the East Palace.

The prince asked about Song Han's marriage: "I heard that it was the emperor's grandmother's intention. How could the emperor's grandmother have such thoughts? If the inkstone hall is idle, you can go to say hello to the emperor's grandmother."

The status and status of the two families are too far apart, this is not a gift of marriage, it is clearly a slap in the face.

The prince tactfully reminded him if the empress dowager had any misunderstanding about the Song family, and asked him to explain it to the empress dowager.

Song Mo had long wanted to separate himself from Song Han.

If you don't move now, when will you wait?

He showed a shallow wry smile, and said in a respectful voice: "The Empress Dowager has always loved the Song family very much. Tianen can win the favor of her old man and be given a marriage. I should kowtow to the Empress Dowager to thank you. Thank you for reminding me !"

Seeing that he was not happy at all, the crown prince couldn't continue to ask for a while, so he could only talk about brother Yuan and the grandson of the third emperor: "...It's really destined! Not only is there only one day difference in birth date, but the names are also similar."

Song Mo talked with him for a while, and the prince's master came to remind him of his homework.Song Mo then quit the East Palace and went to the Supervisor of Rites.

The prince sent someone to inquire about Song Han's marriage.

The empress dowager didn't intend to hide this matter. Concubine Shi looked at the Song family's jokes, and she also wanted to add fuel to the flames. It didn't take half an hour.The story of Song Han reached the ears of the prince.

The prince was shocked.

After the astonishment, he secretly thanked himself for not praising Song Han pretentiously.

The prince thought of King Liao.

The prince's biological mother died early, and he had been taken care of by Queen Wan in his early years.After Empress Wan's mother was married to the world, he treated him with the same respect and love as before, and he treated Empress Wan as his own biological mother.But King Liao has become more and more aggressive in recent years.Sometimes he can't help but wonder, is there any secret hands of Queen Wan in this?

But he only dared to bury this thought in his heart, and no one could say it.

Including the princess who is closest to him.He didn't dare to say it either.

Thinking of Song Mo's slightly bitter smile, the prince suddenly felt sympathy for Song Mo.

When Song Mo encountered such a thing, he could only smile wryly.

He walked around in the study, thinking that if he had the opportunity to talk to Song Mo again, it would be great.

※※※※※

Song Mo drank a full stomach of tea in the Lijian, and it was time for lunch.

The food in the palace was not as delicious as the food at home, so he couldn't afford it.

I got off the Yamen.He went to the Lu Manor Princess Ningde again to secure such a good marriage for Song Han, and he should come to the door to thank Mrs. Lu and Princess Ningde in person.

Princess Ningde was very happy when she saw him, and said with a smile: "I am doing it for myself. You don't have to take it to heart. It's good to be your heir, and don't let others take advantage of it."

"Uncle's old cousin is blood relative." Song Mo laughed, "I have no siblings, and these cousins ​​are my own brothers. What's the matter? The eldest princess just let them tell me."

Princess Ningde was very satisfied with Song Mo's words, and asked about Jiang Yan: "Are you going to keep her at home, or do you want to find another son-in-law for her?"

Thinking of the eldest princess successfully proposing a marriage for Song Han, Song Mo said bluntly: "She is still young, if she can marry another suitable family, it would be the best."

Princess Ningde nodded with a smile, took this matter to heart, and kept Song Mo for dinner.

Song Mo was thinking about his wife and children in his heart, and said that he came only after eating, and just escaped and went back to Jing'an Temple Hutong.

He went to greet Dou Shiying first.

As a result, Dou Shiying was in the east wing.

He went to the East Wing again and told Dou Shiying what he had heard from the Supervisor of Rituals: "The emperor wanted to enlighten the eldest son of the emperor, and He Wen told Du Jialun, but the emperor felt that Du Jialun was rigid, and he took a fancy to Xing Xingsi. Chen Rong. Chen Rong's father Zeng and Dai Jian were in the same year. When they were in the Imperial Academy, there was a gap in the matter of giving a banquet. Chen Rong's father resigned and returned to his hometown because of this. Dai Jian has you..."

But Dou Shishu felt that this was a good opportunity, so he simply went along with the boat, pretending to know nothing, and wanted Dou Shiying to come.

Dou Shiying was furious when he heard this: "Isn't this putting me on the fire? If it works, I will become enemies with Chen Rong; if it doesn't work, I will get a reputation for being a follower of power. Don't you want to make your colleagues laugh out loud?"

From the standpoint of Dou Shiying, Song Mo certainly felt that Dou Shishu's actions were unethical; but from the standpoint of the Dou family, he felt that Dou Shishu's actions were outrageous.

He persuaded Dou Shiying: "Uncle Fifth is also for your own good. Since you don't want to, just resign."

Dou Shiying nodded and said, "I'll go to Huaishu Alley."

Song Mo was afraid that Dou Shiying and Dou Shishu would get angry, so he said, "Shall I go with you?"
