The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2076 Conclusion
"Your Majesty said earlier that after you reach the crown, you will go to the Ministry of Rites to take office?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Exactly." Dou Xiaoguo nodded: "Two days ago, officials from the Ministry of Officials came to Dou's house to inquire about my date of getting married."

Although Dou Xiaoguo took office as Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the changes, promotions and relegations of court officials had to go through the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials should also record a copy in the official roster, so that there will be a verification in the future.

"When you can really stand in the court hall, stand in the Hanyuan Hall, and participate in the morning court every day, or every three days, you will understand that the changes in the court hall are not something you can experience as a loose official now. .” Xuan Shijing said.

"What Xuan Gong said is true." Dou Xiaoguo responded.

But he knew that although Xuan Shijing was now an official of the first rank and was named the Duke of Qi, Xuan Shijing would not go to court.

Officials of the fifth rank and above in the imperial court, who are in Chang'an, have to attend the early court every day, but Xuan Shijing seldom went to the early court when the Supreme Emperor was in power. The number of times can be counted on one's fingers.

But even if they don't go to court, they are not marginalized by the court, but are more and more reused. Therefore, even if they don't go to court, they know many things in the court well.

For Dou Xiaoguo, Xuan Shijing's words are the teachings of his predecessors, whether it is in the official aspect or in private.

"Okay, I won't talk about these things today. If I have free time, I will have time to talk about these things in the future. You must know why I came here today, right?" Xuan Shijing looked at Dou Xiaoguo and asked .

"Yes." Dou Xiaoguo responded, "It's about my nephew and An An."

Xuan Shijing nodded: "It's good to know, I know you are happy and at ease. When I was not in Chang'an City, my wife also talked to you. Now that I am back, we are sitting face to face. Let me ask you, are you sincere to An An?"

"Xuan Gong, my nephew dares to swear to the sky that he is absolutely sincere to An An. Being able to marry An An is the greatest happiness of my nephew's life."

What he said was gimmicky, but he didn't know how much credibility he had.

After all, a man's mouth is a deceiving ghost.

Xuan Shijing is a man, so he understands how credible the words spoken by men are. In the court, playing politics, ten sentences, seven parts are false and three parts are true. Most of the wealthy families are also hypocritical.

But right now, Dou Xiaoguo said that he dared to swear to the sky, and Xuan Shijing also knew that nowadays people still value the oath very much, and would rather lose their lives than break the oath.

"You don't need to tell me your oath. If you and An An are successful, how is An An's life? There are so many eyes in the Xuan family. As for An An, I follow my daughter's wishes. Since he is optimistic about you, I will not obstruct the matter between you two." Xuan Shijing said: "No matter what, I only want my daughter to live well, and I ask you, about the matter between you and An An, your Dou family What kind of attitude is it?"

When a man and a woman get married and tie the knot, from ancient times to the present, it is not just a matter of the two of them, but a matter of two families, especially the big families like the Xuan family and the Dou family. Going around is even more difficult.

"Now the Dou family is headed by my uncle. When I received the invitation from Xuan Gong the day before yesterday, my uncle and my nephew also discussed this matter. If my nephew can marry An An, An An does not want to live in the big house of the Dou family. For the Dou family, we can rebuild a house for our nephew in Chang'an City for the wedding." Dou Xiaoguo said.

"So, your uncle agrees to this marriage." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes." Dou Xiaoguo responded.

Now the major families in Chang'an City wish to stay far away from the Xuan family, they are all afraid of bad luck, they never thought that Dou Yan would be so optimistic about this marriage.

Could it be, is there any other reason here?
Xuan Shijing suppressed the doubts in her heart and continued to talk with Dou Xiaoguo.

"That's fine." Xuan Shijing said: "If both parties agree, the matter between you and An An can be settled, but An An is still too young now, and I personally want to keep her for a while. Therefore, there is no need to be too anxious about getting married, but you can make an appointment first."

"Yes." Dou Xiaoguo was overjoyed when he heard Xuan Shijing say this.

Although they can't get married for the time being, once they get engaged, the marriage will be considered a success.

"My nephew, oh no, my son-in-law thanked my father-in-law!" Dou Xiaoguo stood up and bowed to salute.

Xuan Shijing pulled Dou Xiaoguo up and let him sit on the stool.

"Don't be so polite, your marriage with An'an is over, and we are also relatives. As long as you take An'an well and have a self-motivated attitude, you two can live a good life even if you leave the Xuan family and the Dou family. Everything is strong." Xuan Shijing said: "Nowadays, both you and An An live in the family's sheltered home, and you don't know how difficult it is to support a family business alone, so from now on, no matter what It's you, or An An, who have to work harder than before to live their lives. To be honest, I don't ask you to have much self-motivation, nor do I ask you whether you are an extreme minister or how much power you hold. The higher the height, the more painful the fall, as long as you are all well, this is better than anything."

"What father-in-law said is true." Dou Xiaoguo nodded in response.

"People have everything when they are alive. If people are gone, everything is gone. Speaking of rights, although I look idle now, don't I have any rights in my hands? Speaking of wealth, the wealth of the Xuan family is considered family members. Everyone is a prodigal, and it can take a long time. If you really have it, that's what it is." Xuan Shijing said: "The bank case in front of me is an example. In fact, there is no shortage of money in the families of all major families. , but they still stretched out their hands, and once they stretched out their hands, they brought disaster to themselves."

Dou Xiaoguo remembered what his uncle said to him, and he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat behind his back.

The Dou family, it's almost there.

"I'm telling you this now, and I hope that when you become an official, you will be able to be vigilant and self-sustaining as you go further and further in the officialdom." Xuan Shijing said: "Because you are not only an official yourself, but behind your back. , and a whole family."

"Yes, my son-in-law would like to follow the teachings of his father-in-law." Dou Xiaoguo cupped his hands and said.

"Well, how about this, since your uncle has no objection, and the Xuan family also agrees to this marriage, and tomorrow, I will let Li Chunfeng count it as an auspicious day, and the two families will have a small sit down in the Xuanwu Tower to finalize the marriage." Xuan Shijing said.
