Chapter II. Disagreements

　　Song Mo, the word Yantang, the eldest son of the Duke of England Song Yichun, mother Jiang, is the Duke of Dingguo Jiang Meisun sister. His birth was extremely distinguished. At the age of five, he asked for the title of Prince. At the age of fourteen, he was impeached by the royal historian because of the pregnancy of his concubine during his mother's filial piety, and the Duke of England drove him out of the house without knowing his whereabouts. 　　Chengping twenty years, Emperor Mu Zong is sick, in Liaodong, the fifth son of Liao Wang in his biological mother, Empress Wan, under the pretext of the visit to Kyoto, launched a palace mutiny, shot the crown prince of the Yuan queen Shen's birth, house arrest, the emperor, steal the day, and succeeded in the great lineage. 　　Song Mo, who has long been remembered only in after-dinner chit-chat, reappears in front of everyone as the new emperor's beloved. 　　He single-handedly broke into the British Duke's mansion with a sword, chopped off the limbs of his brother Song Han in front of his father, and made his father watch as Song Han bled and wailed his way to death. The means was bloody, acted tyrannically, and Kyoto was in uproar. So much so that after so many years, his name still stops the little children in Kyoto from crying. 　　The Imperial Historians have written to the Emperor, asking him to apprehend the murderer to set the record straight. 　　After the Emperor gave Song Mo a slight punishment, he locked him up in the West Court of the Grand Palace. 　　Six months later, Song Mo entered the Jinyiwei and became a minor flag of the Northern Zhenfu Division, from the seventh rank. 　　A year later, Song Mo was promoted to Commander of the Jinyiwei, the third rank. 　　People in Kyoto were privately rumoring that Song Mo was given extra favor by the Emperor because of his merit in shooting the Crown Prince during the palace mutiny. 　　As if to confirm this statement, the emperor during the twelve years of his reign, no matter he is rich in private pockets, false accusations of loyalty and goodness, Yin system of admonition, selling grace and customers, bullying, arrogance and domineering, or covetousness and lust, Song Mo is the holy favor, and even a lot of impeachment of his words of wisdom by the emperor reprimanded, cut off the official, battle death. 　　Encountered such a person, such a thing, Dou Zhao can not help but shortness of breath, but if Wei Tingyu is allowed to go on like this, undoubtedly in the mantis, harmful to the whole family, and even the possibility of involving the relatives. 　　She murmured: ''The Zhou family has fallen, there is still the Cao family, where is the turn of you and Wang fourth master to step in? Don't stir up the fire! In my opinion, it's better to be cautious ......" 　　Without waiting for her to finish, Wei Ting Yu had already snorted coldly and said in a toothless manner, "I don't have as many calculations as you do. I only know that a gentleman should do something and not do anything. I'll take care of this matter!" 　　It was as if she had an iron heart and was indifferent to what happened to the Zhou family's mother and daughter for the sake of her own safety. 　　Wei Tingyu's attitude deeply stabbed Dou Zhao. 　　She laughed coldly and said, "Song Mo is not married and has no heir, and his mansion in Shakespeare Sea is filled with beautiful women, comparable to the Emperor's inner palace, mostly given to him by those who are trying to curry favor with him or by officials who have asked for his help. I have heard of a woman in his house hanged himself from the back door carried out, there are women to cut down the invention of ambition was sent to the nunnery by him, there are women because of colleagues or subordinates to be sent to him as a wife for the concubines, and can not stand the power of his elopement, but never heard of any woman was caught by the trouble he went back. Are you going to ask around before you say anything?" 　　Wei Ting Yu was struck by lightning and sat there with a dull gaze, not moving for a long time. 　　Dou Zhao also ignored him and rolled over to lie down on his own. 　　The candles crackled a few times, and she heard Wei Tingyu whisper behind her, "I, didn't I promise Dahe? It's not good to go back on it, right? Besides, Dahe also invited Uncle Yong En and the others, and I'm not the only one. We all agreed to go to the palace together tomorrow to face the saint and sue Song Mo in front of the emperor. If I'm the only one not going ......" 　　Dou Zhao said carelessly, "Aren't I sick?" 　　"Yes! Yes!" Wei Tingyu said cheerfully, "I have to take care of you at home!" 　　Dou Zhao lost her smile, and was about to admonish Wei Tingyu a few more times, lest he be persuaded by a few people from Yong En Bo and change his mind again, when Cui Leng hurriedly walked in, "Marquis, ma'am. Marquis Ting'an has come over!" 　　"Ah!" Wei Ting Yu uneasily surveyed Dou Zhao's complexion. 　　Marquis of Yan'an Wang Qinghuai was Wang Qinghai's brother. 　　"It's not good to avoid it." Dou Zhao mused, "He came to visit you in the middle of the night, so it's obvious that he has something important to do. You just have to bite the bullet and take care of me. Other than that, don't promise anything." 　　"Good!" Wei Tingyu got the idea, his spirits lifted, and he went to the outer courtyard. 　　Dou Zhao hurriedly instructed Cui Leng: "You quickly go and see what Marquis Yan'an is looking for from the Marquis?" 　　Cui Leng answered and retired. 　　When the fourth watch drum sounded, Wei Tingyu joyfully entered the inner room. 　　"Madam!" He raised his eyebrows and said, "Guess what Marquis Ting'an is looking for me for?" 　　Dou Zhao had gotten the message long ago, but still matched his smile and asked, "What for?" 　　"Marquis Tingan did not allow Dahe to control the Zhou family's affairs, banned Dahe's feet, and was afraid that we several will go to the palace tomorrow as planned, and brought gifts to personally go door to door to thank him! We are the first he visited. Yan'an Hou also said the same thing as Mrs.!" 　　Dou Zhao laughed, "That's good. The Marquis can also rest easy." 　　"No wonder people say that a family with a virtuous wife has a treasure." Wei Tingyu complimented Dou Zhao, "It's a good thing there's a madam, or else I'd be making jokes." Then he pouted about squeezing Dou Zhao to sleep on the inside of the bed, and blustered loudly, "I want to sleep on the bed, I don't want to sleep on the wooden couch." 　　This was considered an apology. 　　Dou Zhao smiled and gave way to the outer side of the bed. 　　Not long after, Wei Tingyu made a small snoring sound. 　　Dou Zhao, who doesn't sleep well these days and was disturbed by the noise, thought about it and pushed Wei Tingyu. 　　"What's wrong?" Wei Tingyu opened his eyes for a moment in a daze and closed them again. 　　"Marquis, I have something to say to you." 　　"Oh!" Wei Ting Yu responded, and only after a long time did he lazily climb up and lean on the bed, yawning, "What are you going to say?" 　　Dou Zhao ordered Cui Leng to bring Wei Yanyu's sable fur cloak to put on for him, before slowly saying, "I want to, to finalize Weiwei's marriage." 　　Wei Yan Yu froze. 　　Wei Ge'er was their eldest son and was fourteen years old this year. Not only was he a good-looking man, but he was also intelligent and sophisticated, very much to the liking of his sister, Wei Tingzhen, who two years ago had begun to hint to him, both inside and out, that she wanted to marry her eldest daughter, CaiPing, to Wei'er as her wife. 　　One is the son of Jining Marquis, one is the first granddaughter of Duke Jing's residence, the door is right for the family, and is a cousin, he felt that there is no better marriage than this. Just every time no matter whether it is sister, mother, or he mentioned, were Dou Zhao smile and bring over, this matter is so ambiguous shelved there. 　　Now Dou Zhao brought up the eldest son's marriage, Wei Yan Yu sleepy all faded, bantered: "Sister came up to you to say, you love to ignore, and now you take the initiative, be careful sister to take Qiao, give you a soft nail touch." 　　Dou Zhao laughed and waited for Wei Ting Yu's happiness to pass before saying, "I want to hire Xuan Ning Marquis Guo Hai Qing's eldest granddaughter as a daughter-in-law for Wei Ge'er." 　　Wei Yan Yu's smile froze on her face, the corners of her mouth opening and closing, with a look of not knowing what to say. 　　How could Dou Zhao not understand her mother-in-law and husband's thoughts? 　　But she also had her own considerations. 　　Eunuch is suddenly died of a sudden illness, Wei Tingyu was less than the age of the crown, no experience in the management of commonwealth affairs, her mother-in-law's character is gentle and soft, the matter of the outer court can not help at all, relying on Wei Tingzhen's guidance, which has passed the initial panic. Because of this, Wei Ting Yu or, mother-in-law or, what things like to ask Wei Ting Zhen, by her to help take the idea, a long time, Wei Ting Zhen in the Wei family reputation, large and small things as long as she opened the mouth, Wei Ting Yu and mother-in-law did not agree, so that the Wei family, Wei Ting Zhen's words than the words of Wei Ting Yu and the mother-in-law is good to make. 　　Dou Zhao's mother died early, when she was a girl, there is always the feeling of being a parasite, the most desire is to have a home of their own, and how can they allow Wei Tingzhen to have something to do on the side of the finger a little bit? 　　When she first married in, she did not know anything, so she suffered some pain, secretly shed a lot of tears. Until she has given birth to two sons and a daughter, presided over the House of the feed and then took over the House of the commonwealth, Wei family days more than one year rich, Wei Tingzhen only slightly convergence of some. 　　If and Wei Tingzhen do in-laws, she is both the son's mother-in-law, but also the son's aunt, to her always strong behavior, son is not to be her life on the head? In case there is any gap between the couple, there is no one to do justice. 　　She will never agree to this marriage. 　　But she also knew that without a good reason, her mother-in-law and Wei Tingyu would not approve of her choosing another good daughter-in-law for her son. 　　She had been pondering over this matter. 　　It so happened that when she went to the Duke of Jing's residence to enjoy the chrysanthemums on the Chongyang Festival, the Duke of Jing's residence's great auntie joked with her, "...... Sister-in-law in the end cares for her younger brother, and in spite of my older brother, she insisted that CaiPing be married off to your family. If it were up to my father's wishes, CaiPing would have married into the Marquis of Jingjiang!" 　　It was only then that she realized that Duke Jing had such plans. 　　Dou Zhao had been inspired to think of a reason to convince her husband and mother-in-law, but she just hadn't had the chance to sit down with her husband and talk about it in detail. 　　Now that it was late at night, it was the right time to talk. 　　Thus, seeing her husband dumbfounded, she smiled slightly and told Wei Tingyu what the Grand Aunt of the Duke of Jing's residence had said, and said: ''The Grand Aunt of the Duke of Jing's residence wouldn't be saying this to me for no reason. I'm only afraid that Auntie and Master Auntie are at odds over Caiyin's marriage. Auntie has helped us a lot over the years, and even though she is the wife of the Duke of Jing's son, the Duke of Jing is now in charge of the Duke of Jing, so if Auntie is disliked by the Duke of Jing because of our Weiwei'er's and CaiPing's marriages, then we can hardly absolve ourselves of the blame!" 　　Filial piety comes first in all things. 　　If a daughter-in-law was disliked by her father-in-law, what good life would she have? Being repudiated was even possible. 　　Wei Ting Yu's face changed drastically, blaming her, "If you had agreed to this marriage earlier, you wouldn't have gotten into this situation today! What can we do now?" 　　She helped Wei Tingyu with an idea: "Why don't you discuss it with your mother-in-law? Let's see what we can do about this." 　　"Right!" Wei Tingyu's eyes lit up, "Why didn't I think of that!" Not caring that it was still light, he loudly called Cui Leng to serve him in dressing, "I'm going to find my mother." 　　Granny is old and sleeps short, she should have woken up early at this hour. 　　Dou Zhao didn't stop him, and asked a small maid to help Wei Tingyu carry the lantern, sending him to his mother-in-law. 　　If her estimate is good, the mother-in-law got the letter, should immediately and Wei Tingyu together to find her to think of ways. 　　She took a nap and was woken up by Cui Leng. 　　Granny and Wei Tingyu had already arrived. 　　Without waiting for her to speak, Granny had already anxiously said, "Is what you said true?" Confused again, she said, "How come Ting Zhen has never mentioned it in front of me?"
