Hexi

Han Mo went to lead the horse, while Su Wei was waiting for him outside the front door.

Seeing Dou Yin turning his horse's head after saying goodbye, she said: "This is not the way back to the Duke's mansion, you still have something to do?"

Dou Yin smiled slightly: "Exactly, I have to do something."

Su Luo nodded and politely watched him go.

Taiping Hutong is not a narrow alley, and people like Han Mo would not look at those small streets and alleys. One end of the alley is connected to Qianmen Street, and the other end leads to Tai'an Square, which is densely populated with official residences.

After crossing Tai'an Square, it is the boundary of Yi'an Temple that is gradually quiet.Yi'an Temple was built by a princess who was widowed by her son-in-law who died in battle. The princess lived a long life and died in her nineties. Some of her descendants became officials, some became generals, and some returned to the mountains.

However, the descendants of the offshoots still spread out to serve in the court, but this period of history has been long, except that this temple still shows the dignity of the family, and the pilgrims occasionally sit around and mention it, but the rest are nothing like everyone else.

When Dou Yin arrived at a teahouse to the east of Yi'an Temple, the fiery red sunset was shining all over the earth, illuminating the glazed tiles on the roof of the temple as gorgeously as a heavenly palace.

The teahouse is very lively, completely different from the peaceful temple. Most of the tea guests here come to offer incense and worship Buddha. There is no noise in the temple, but there is no restriction outside the temple.

There are quite a lot of elegant rooms upstairs, and there are two maids standing in front of the door of a room on the north side. When they saw Dou Yin, they knelt down and called Mr. Dou, and then pushed the door open.

"Dou Yin!"

The girl in the room immediately got up to meet her, she was as light as a butterfly in a pink shirt, "You are finally here!"

"Miss Song has been waiting for a long time." Dou Yin arched his hands and followed her inside.

Song Yiru sat down opposite him: "I've been waiting for you for an hour, why did you come?" The girl looked at ease, compared to the etiquette she had when she met on the street, at this moment she seemed to be facing a person with little friendship. bosom friend.

"Your Majesty asked Miss Su to come over to discuss something, and it took a while. How are you doing? It seems that you haven't heard much about the Wang family targeting the Song family recently."

"It's not there anymore." Song Yiru hesitated to speak, he seemed a little hesitant, "It's with Mr. Zhang..."

Dou Yin said: "How about Mr. Zhang? Is there any trouble?"

Song Yiru glanced at him and sighed: "Master Zhang seems to be very busy recently, I haven't seen him for almost half a month. Every time my brother invited him out, he pushed him. It was obviously not like this before, last time He still likes the fan you helped me pick out, and he took it with him every time after that.

"He is also very familiar with me. He taught me how to write, chatted with me about family affairs, and invited me and my brother to Zhangjia to appreciate peonies. However, since the invitation that day, he has not come out. Whenever I asked, he said something was wrong. .”

"Really," Dou Yin said, "what are they busy with? That's right, Mr. Zhang Ge is competing for the chief assistant. How is the Zhang family progressing now?"

"I heard Mr. Zhang say it before, and I'm sure. Mr. Zhang Ge already has the support of many people in the court."

"Who are they?"

Song Yiru snapped his fingers and said a long list of names.He continued: "Last time at Zhang's house, Second Young Master Zhang slipped his tongue, saying that he only waited for the Liangjiang disaster relief that Mr. Zhang Ge is currently in charge of to handle properly. "

Dou Yin said silently for a moment: "The matter of disaster relief will also be dealt with?"

"I heard that it is already finishing, and it will take at most a month. So I guess, they should have made complete preparations."

Dou Yin finished listening to the silent words.

Song Yiru said, "Why do you care so much about Mr. Zhang Ge?"

Dou Yin looked at her lightly: "Who doesn't care about the change of the chief minister in the court? Especially the Han family is still a military general and important minister. I can't take care of the Duke?"

"That's true." Song Yiru nodded, but then remembered his own troubles: "Dou Yin, you said Mr. Zhang is like this, did you find that I have ulterior motives and started to hate me?"

She blushed when she said this, and lowered her head a little bit ashamed and apprehensive.

In the past, she also looked down on those women who had ulterior motives to cling to the powerful. Although the Song family was not much lower than the Zhang family as an aristocratic family, the reason she approached Zhang Ruo was indeed to use the existing power of the Zhang family to support the Song family who did not work hard. ah.Since getting married is inevitable, she would rather choose to fight for some benefits for her natal family.

The last time I got help from Dou Yin in the folding fan shop, the two had known each other for a while, and there was much less estrangement between them when getting along, but since he saw through her thoughts at that time, it was no good The key to concealing is Dou Yin, who is not as naive as Han Mo, he is mature and steady, and will definitely keep her a secret.Naturally, she would look for his staff every now and then.Dou Yin is really a good person, no matter how busy he is, he still takes time to see her. He is smart and can give her good advice every time.

"How long has it been since I invited you last time?" Dou Yin thought for a while and said.

"It's been almost a month. To be precise, it was shortly after something happened in the court. He invited us to visit the mansion to enjoy the flowers, but there was no news after that." Song Yiru was a little annoyed.

"Accidents in the DPRK mean?"

"It was after Chang Wei was arrested. Normally, this kind of thing has nothing to do with one of his children, and it is also a matter of Mr. Zhang Ge and Mr. Zhang. But he said that his grandfather told him not to have fun with others during the extraordinary period, so as not to cause troubles in vain. "

Dou Yin stretched his body and unfolded his folding fan: "There is nothing wrong with this. Chang He is on the run, and there was trouble in Chang's mansion not long ago. Maybe Mr. Zhang is doing it for your own good."

"But we don't meet each other, how should we proceed with this marriage?" Song Yiru blushed even more, even though Dou Yin was not an outsider, it was still embarrassing to say such thoughts on the surface. "I'm a girl, and I can't take the initiative to invite my family to the man's house for a matchmaker. I have to, I have to get him to think about it, please invite a matchmaker to my house?" She grabbed the skirt of her shirt and said nervously: "You can't laugh Me?"

Dou Yindao: "You are so frank and sincere, why should I laugh at you? What's more, you are not doing this for yourself, but for the sake of your family. I have no reason to laugh at you, but I think your sacrifice is a bit big. However, Since you decided to do it, there is nothing to say."

Song Yiru relaxed a little after hearing the words, and then sighed: "Actually, I'm not a stalker, but I've been used to it since I was a child. I always try my best to do what I want to do. If it doesn't work, I will pull it down. "

Dou Yin put down his fan and said: "If you want to see Mr. Zhang, I can invite him out for you. The Han family and the Zhang family don't have much friendship, but Mr. Zhang Ge thinks highly of Su Shaoqing and almost treats him as his son-in-law. Now Han and Su have joined hands to handle the case, maybe I can save a little face."
