Chapter 2: The wind rises(1/2)

Dou Zhao's mind was running rapidly, and the words of accusing Wang Yingxue of forcing her mother to death were almost blurted out, but he stopped the impulse.

First of all, the ninth prince was not close to her, so he might not make the decision for her. Secondly, her mother hanged herself and died. There is no direct evidence to prove that Wang Yingxue forced her to death. What's more, Wang Yingxue's father Wang Xingyi was deeply trusted by the emperor after he resurrected, otherwise the fifth prince Dou Shishu would not have tried his best to curry favor with her.

Dou Shishu and Wang Xingyi, who were beside him, had already reached their throats. It would be too unfair if the future of the two families was ruined because of a girl's words.

Qin Hao was waiting for Dou Zhao to complain, so he took the handle of the two old foxes Dou Shishu and Wang Xingyi. Whether it was to go to the emperor's father to sell favors or to attract others to leave them for later use, it was always good to have an extra card in his hand.

However, at this moment, Dou Shiying was helped into the mourning hall by his servants.

"Shou Gu..." Dou Shiying called her daughter's name, her tone full of regret.

However, Dou Zhao did not throw himself into Dou Shiying's arms, but instead stared at the other party with a look of regret.

Seeing this, Dou Shishu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of Dou Shiying's drunkenness, he pulled him to Qin Hao.

"Shiying, why don't you pay homage to His Highness the Ninth Prince."

Dou Shiying was shocked, so she woke up three points of wine and was about to bow. Qin Hao waited until the other party finished worshiping, but then pretended to be concerned: "The teacher doesn't have to be too polite. When he heard that his teacher's wife died of illness, he came to worship him. He didn't have time to prepare a gift in a hurry, so he asked the teacher to take care of him."

"Where is where your highness can be visited by the humble house, which is already a great honor for our Dou family. However, the mistress of the family suddenly passed away, and no one in the family's affairs were arranged in chaos, which made Your Highness laugh." Dou Shishu held Dou Shiying while smiling.

When Dou Zhao saw Qin Hao and Dou Shishu chatting and laughing, he completely extinguished the idea of ​​letting Qin Hao make the decision for her mother, and he was completely disappointed.

But Qin Hao changed his mind: "If you want to talk about it, the teacher is my father's teacher, Heaven, Earth, Lord, Parents, and our two families don't have to be so polite."

"Just just now, Mr. Wu said that there is no one to arrange the common affairs in his family. It is indeed inappropriate. It is a joke for outsiders. I wonder if Mr. Wu can take on this burden?"

Dou Shishu smiled bitterly: "Report to your highness, your two wives have passed away..."

"I'm ignorant and made a joke." Qin Hao slapped his forehead and pretended to be upset.

Dou Shishu hurriedly said, "It's not a matter of showing his face. Even many colleagues may not know it. Moreover, it is normal that Your Highness has been living in the palace for a long time and has never heard of it."

"That's hard to deal with. Is there anyone in the Dou family who can take charge of the gift now?"

Qin Hao looked at Dou Zhao as he spoke.

Dou Zhao was stunned at first, and then woke up. Although she didn't know why the ninth prince wanted to help her, she must seize such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

She didn't care about the right to take charge of the gift, but she could never give this right to Wang Yingxue, otherwise not only would her mother not be able to repay her mother's death in vain, but even her mother's dowry would be ruined by Wang Yingxue. In the future, she would have to live in the shadow of Wang Yingxue.

"Your Highness, my mother once taught me how to take charge of the gifts. My little girl is not talented and is willing to replace her mother, share her worries for her father, and the Dou family."

Dou Zhaona bowed to her head.

Seeing this, Wang Xingyi glared at Dou Shishu fiercely. Dou Shishu hurriedly opposed: "Your Highness, Shou Gu is only eight years old, a naughty boy, how can you know how to take charge of the gifts, let alone her mother's new mourning..."

"Fifth uncle, although Shou Gu is young, she is often brought by her mother to teach her on weekdays. Her mother often says that I am smart. This is nothing more than controlling people. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can test me." Dou Zhao's eyes turned, his tone and expression changed from his previous delicateness, and he had a faint sense of an adult.

Dou Shishu couldn't find a refutation argument for a moment, so he pushed his younger brother Dou Shiying.

"Shiying, the ninth prince, are you going to let Shou Gu do anything like that?"

Dou Shiying was about to speak when he saw Dou Zhao say first: "Father, how did my mother die? You should know the best. Do you really don't care about Shou Gu?"

Looking at Dou Zhao's eyes that looked like his deceased wife, Dou Shiying burst into tears in an instant. Dou Shishu was also afraid that Dou Zhao would reveal the truth to Qin Hao.

"Oh, so the junior sister has already obtained all the true teachings of the master's wife, but it is related to the face of the Dou family. You still have to take the exam to convince the public. Or you can just take two account books and let the junior sister try it?"

Wang Xingyi lowered his voice and gritted his teeth and said to Dou Shishu: "Don't forget how you promised me."

"Brother Xingyi is relieved. How can an eight-year-old girl understand the complicated account book..."

Before Dou Shishu finished speaking, the servant had already brought two account books. Dou Zhao rolled up his cuffs and started to hit him with a crackling sound. His professional posture seemed to be a lot of tricks on him.

Dou Shishu and Wang Xingyi's faces gradually became the same as pig liver.

In less than a stick of incense, Dou Zhao wrote two lines of numbers on a piece of paper.

Qin Hao took it and saw that Dou Zhao's characters were very delicate. Perhaps because of insufficient strength in his wrists, the strokes were a little light, but as for the characters of women, it was already considered good.

"Then please ask the housekeeper to confirm it."

Dou Shishu's face turned pale, but he had to do so. After a short while, a middle-aged man with a big belly trotted into the mourning hall.

After some calculations, two lines of numbers were written on a piece of paper.

Qin Hao took it and took a look, and smiled and showed the two pieces of paper to everyone.

When Dou Zhao saw that the numbers on the two pieces of paper were exactly the same, he showed a relieved smile on his face.

Dou Shishu's face was gloomy, and Wang Xingyi glared at him fiercely, turned around and bowed to Qin Hao, "Your Highness, I have not finished some official duties, so I will take my leave first."

"Please give me some advice, Mr. Wang." Qin Hao said with a smile.

"Sir, since the junior sister has already obtained the true teachings of the master's wife, then the junior sister will take charge of the gifts and mourn for the master's wife, which can be regarded as filial piety for the master's wife. What do you think?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Dou Shiying is still waiting to hesitate, Dou Zhao has already taken the lead and said to Qin Hao: "Thank you Dou Zhao for your goodwill."

Qin Hao stepped forward to help her up and lowered his voice: "I owe me a favor, I will pay it back in the future."

Dou Zhao was shocked, but he quickly realized: "Dou Zhao will repay his kindness today in the future."

Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction: "Junior sister's Day."

After saying that, Qin Hao turned to Dou Shiying and said, "Mr. Lost his wife in middle age, and everyone knows the grief. But the road must be forward and people must look forward. The junior sister is still young and needs to take care of her elders. Please mourn and cheer up as soon as possible."

Dou Shishu immediately expressed his opinion: "Your Highness, please rest assured, Shiying will enter the palace tomorrow to give lectures to Your Highness."

"Don't worry, don't worry, wait until the teacher's wife's death is over." Qin Hao waved his hand and turned around and left.

As soon as Qin Hao left Dou's mansion, he saw a team of Jiyingguards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered swords on his waist. He had already been waiting in front of Dou's mansion. When Qin Hao came out, he got off the horse and knelt down and bowed to him.

"Your Majesty's verbal order, Your Highness the Ninth Prince, please return to the palace to meet the holy."

Qin Hao shook his head helplessly, and it seemed that he would be scolded when he went back.

In the Qianqing Palace, the candles swayed in the hall and the atmosphere was solemn. Emperor Zhu Jianshen sat upright on the dragon chaise, his face was gloomy and he was powerful without anger.

Before Qin Hao could see him, Zhu Jianshen shouted in a deep voice: "Do you know your mistake?"

"Father, the child knows his mistake."

Seeing Qin Hao as a bachelor, Zhu Jianshen snorted softly: "Oh, then you tell me, what's wrong?"

"There are two mistakes. One shouldn't borrow the fourth brother's token and leave the palace privately, and the other shouldn't interfere in Dou Jiayi's private affairs."

Zhu Jianshen slapped the dragon throne: "Hmph, you know everything. This is a sin that will be a priority. Come on, and the family law."

Qin Hao was speechless. Is this considered fishing law enforcement?

"Father, listen to your child's words."

"You know your mistake and make a mistake, what else can you say!" Zhu Jianshen snorted coldly.

Qin Hao was calm and said in a deep voice: "Don't calm down. The child did this for the sake of his reputation."

"What does this matter have to do with me?" Zhu Jianshen said dissatisfied.

Qin Hao said seriously: "Father, is Dou Shiying appointed as a teacher for the child?"

"Yes, so what?"

"Ten days after Dou Shiying received the order, he did not enter the palace. It can be seen that he was not a gentleman who valued his promises, but his father had already assigned him as a teacher. Naturally, the child could not let him destroy his father's wisdom and dignity, so he borrowed the fourth brother's gold medal to leave the palace."

Zhu Jianshen was so angry that he heard this: "So, isn't it mine?"

"Of course it is not the fault of the father. I can only blame the person who recommends this person. He is not aware of the person, but he almost harms his father's wisdom."

Seeing that Zhu Jianshen's face was relieved, Qin Hao continued, "This time, the child went to Dou Mansion to worship his master's wife in the name of a student. No one else can say anything. He also asked the father to remember the child's sincere heart and forgive the child's crime of taking his own actions."

"You still know that you are taking your own initiative!" Zhu Jianshen snorted.

"Then what's the reason why you interfere in the Dou family's affairs?"

Qin Hao was not surprised that Zhu Jianshen knew what happened to the Dou family. Isn’t Jiyingwei just doing this?

So he slowly told the suspicion of Dou Zhao's biological mother's death.

"Father, Dou Zhao is similar to the child's age, and the child can't help but feel moved by the scene..."

When Zhu Jianshen saw Qin Hao mention his biological mother, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He had long forgotten what his son's biological mother looked like.

"Then Dou Zhao has his own father to protect him, so why do you have to force yourself?"

"What kind of person does Father think Dou Shiying is?" Qin Hao asked back.

Zhu Jianshen was speechless for a moment, but he heard Qin Hao continue to say.

"I am indecisive, cowardly and have few plans. I am afraid that I can't even protect myself, so how can I protect my children?"

Zhu Jianshen frowned: "In this way, Dou Shiying is useless. I want to find another gentleman for you."

"How can the father's words be changed at will? Dou Shiying is useless, but he must be competent just by teaching the children the Four Books and Five Classics. It would be better to wait a few years before choosing another knowledgeable gentleman for the children."

Zhu Jianshen looked at Qin Hao with relief: "Well, you are still a little filial. Let's remember this fight today."

Qin Hao's mouth twitched, are all parents in the world like this? The subtext I remembered first: When will I beat you up when I feel bad?

At the same time, in the Dou Mansion study, Dou Shishu pointed at Dou Shiying who had not yet sobered up and cursed.

"Look, look at your current ghostly appearance. A woman has hooked your soul away! Do you know that our Dou family is almost destroyed in your hands today!"

Dou Shiying was so scolded that she didn't dare to talk back. She waited until Dou Shishu was tired of scolding and then said: "Fifth brother, it's actually nothing wrong with letting Shou Gu take charge of the middle gift..."
