The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2075
Jinyang first waited for Xuan Shijing to get dressed and washed, and then he took care of himself. After Xuan Shijing finished washing, he went to the front hall to wait for Jinyang to have breakfast, and Jinyang had to paint his eyebrows, dye his lips and put on powder in the room. After finishing the makeup and combing the hair, I can go out and walk around.

At about Chen Shi, the servants in the house came to report to Xuan Shijing that Dou Xiaoguo had arrived at Zhuangzi.

Xuan Shijing made an appointment for the two to meet at a restaurant in the market, at least the atmosphere will be more relaxed and pleasant while eating and drinking while chatting, if the appointment is at home, it will make the child nervous.

After all, the Xuan family mansion is full of people from the Xuan family.

Before An An gets married, Xuan Shijing, Dou Xiaoguo's future father-in-law, has to meet his future son-in-law first.

Xuan Shijing only brought Chang Le with him, neither rode a horse nor took a carriage, and strolled all the way to the market on Zhuangzi.

It is still as lively as ever, there are so many people on the Zhuangzi, coming and going, there are residents on the Zhuangzi, and there are also people who come to the Zhuangzi from other places to play or work, so the vendors on the market, Never afraid of not doing business.

Lively is a good thing, popular, there is wealth.

Walking to the door of a magnificent restaurant, Xuan Shijing stood at the door for a while, and then led Chang Le in.

"Chang Le, you should eat and drink downstairs by yourself, and I can go up by myself." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes." Chang Le replied.

Xuan Shijing went up to the second floor with the boy in the restaurant by himself, and the private room was reserved by him long ago.

The young man walked to the door of the private room, reached out and knocked on the door.

"My lord, the guests have arrived."

After the voice fell, the door was opened, and Dou Xiaoguo came out to greet Xuan Shijing in person.

"Xuan Gong." Dou Xiaoguo cupped his hands and bowed in salute.

"There's no need to be so polite." Xuan Shijing stretched out his hand to help Dou Xiaoguo up, and then turned to look at the boy: "Prepare the food and drink and bring them up."

"Yes." The boy responded.

The two entered the private room.

"After the farewell in the past, I didn't expect Mr. Dou to change so much. It's really impressive." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "Come, please sit down."

"Yes." Dou Xiaoguo responded.

It can be seen that Dou Xiaoguo is very reserved in front of Xuan Shijing.

Because Xuan Shijing may be his future father-in-law.

Now that the two of them have sat down to talk, the marriage is likely to happen.

"Don't be so nervous. I've heard from people in our family about your matter. Although I've been out for most of this year, I still have correspondence with my family. First of all, regarding An An's matter, I, as An An, Father, I have to thank you very much." Xuan Shijing said: "Thank you for stepping forward and protecting my daughter at that time."

Before the drink came, Xuan Shijing picked up the teacup.

"First replace the bar with tea." Xuan Shijing said.

Dou Xiaoguo quickly picked up the teacup, and the two took a sip of tea.

"Actually, I don't know what's going on when I'm a junior. After seeing An An being kidnapped by those strong men, I was worried about her, so I followed her. A girl's family was taken away by so many people. If the junior doesn't If you go to save people, no matter what the consequences are, this junior is afraid that you will not be able to get over this hurdle." Dou Xiaoguo said.

Xuan Shijing nodded slightly.

It can be seen that Dou Xiaoguo is indeed different from before. A person's words can deceive others, but a person's demeanor is hard to change. Although Xuan Shijing is not yet 50 or [-] years old, he has been mixed up in the officialdom After so many years, he still has some experience in judging people, at least he doesn't dislike the Dou Xiaoguo in front of him.

Even if we talk about the beginning, in retrospect now, Dou Xiaoguo was just young and vigorous. He was beaten up by him in the street, and nothing happened afterwards. His reaction back then also made Xuan Shijing think that One of the reasons why Dou Xiaoguo is not a bad person himself.

At the beginning, Xuan Shijing just thought that Dou Xiaoguo, a child who lacked the love and care of the elders in the family, was just a little bit extreme, and he was not a bad person. Although he was not as good as those talented and capable young talents, at least he did not bully the market or rob The girl of the people did not beat anyone to death, she was much better than those dudes.

Not enough than the top, more than the bottom, isn't it?
It is not easy for Dou Xiaoguo to be able to look like what he is today.

At this time, the door was knocked and then pushed open.

"Two, the meal is here."

The servant of the restaurant brought a few people, served dishes for them in the room, and put a few jugs on the table.

"Okay, step back." Xuan Shijing waved his hand.

"Yes." The servant led several other people out of the private room.

Dou Xiaoguo picked up the jug and filled Xuan Shijing's glass.

"If you didn't take action on that matter, it might have become the regret and sin of my life." Xuan Shijing said with a sigh.

After all, he was the one who investigated the case outside, offended people, hurt his family, and it was his own daughter who had the accident, how could Xuan Shijing feel better about it?
"The crime does not lie with Xuan Gong, but with those people whose methods are not clean." Dou Xiaoguo said: "It is said that family members are not as bad as the family. In the court, no matter what happens, it is an official business, and it is not a heinous crime. Just to handle the case and find out their criminal evidence, they have to threaten their family members, which is really dirty."

Xuan Shijing looked at Dou Xiaoguo now, and even saw a bit of scholarly spirit in him.

"You also said that it is a method, and the method does not distinguish between clean and dirty. This is the court." Xuan Shijing said: "The officialdom is never clean, even if you walk into the officialdom with a clean body, After staying for a year or two, the whole body is still full of stains."

Dou Xiaoguo has a casual job in Chang'an City, but he is still in the officialdom. Up to now, Dou Xiaoguo has not been in any danger, and it is entirely because his position is not high or important, and it can even be said to be dispensable. Well, he is the young master of the Dou family, and with a big tree like the Dou family leaning on his back, the officials below dare not do anything to him.

If Dou Xiaoguo came from an ordinary background, perhaps in this year, he should be able to experience many "hidden rules" and darkness in the officialdom.

After he reaches the crown and officially becomes an official in the court, he should be able to understand it.

After all, when he came to the position of Minister of Rites and had contact with the big men in the court all day long, the level was different. At that time, no one would care about his identity as the young master of the Dou family.

In the court, all civil and military officials dared to hate and plot against his uncle Dou Yan, let alone a brat.
