Dou Jiande is a serious and reckless hero. In fact, he has only lived a good life for a few years. Neither his old subordinates nor his wife and children at home have lost their reckless habits.
Even though they established a new interest group and became a new aristocratic class, their antipathy towards the government did not disappear.
After fighting for so many years, most of the time they were competing with the government. Even if they re-established order, they still could not completely break away from the rebel army.
According to the official words, he is not out of gangsterism.
For example, Dou Xianniang is very confused in her self-perception.
As the daughter of Dou Jiande, she was naturally a core figure among the aristocrats in Hebei. It was obvious that the aristocrats of Chang'an were showing off in the city, but she was still very disgusted.
Dou Xianniang came to Chang'an with Pei Xingyan at the beginning of the year to receive the imperial seal, and has been living in Honglu Temple.
When Dou Jiande was sent to Chang'an, Pei Xingyan was appointed to another position on the recommendation of Pei Shiqing and went to Daizhou to listen to Wang Zhibian's arrangements. Those who had followed Pei Xingyan to Chang'an were released.
Because she and Cui Jingnu were both descended from Hebei, Honglu Temple treated them favorably. They found a house for them to live in and gave them some money and food. As for how their families would settle them, Honglu Temple also
I won't care anymore, two young ladies don't need so many measures.
When Cui Jingnu learned that her father was working in Luoyang, she wanted to go to Luoyang to look for him. Unfortunately, there was no one escorting her. It was just a joke to ask a young lady to go all the way to Luoyang.
It was Dou Xianniang who had an idea and planned to find a job in Chang'an according to the established plan, so as not to starve to death in the city of Chang'an.
Of course, it would be best to be closer to my parents.
So after some searching, they rented a house here and opened a wine shop with the money from Honglu Temple and the few personal belongings they had on their bodies.
Generally speaking, Dou Xianniang is in charge of it, and Cui Jingnu is responsible for doing the miscellaneous things.
Fortunately, Dou Xian Niang is not a whimsical woman. She is not a pampered noble lady. She has been fighting for many years with her parents, so the calculation of wine making is her best skill besides fighting with others and avoiding the enemy's pursuit.
There was something wrong with the place where the wine shop was opened, but the two young ladies were busy and did attract some customers, so they did not make a loss.
Well, it is quite a strange thing that two young ladies with high status in Hebei can make a living on their own in Chang'an and start a small business.
However, Dou Xianniang's goal is far from being achieved. It has been more than two months since the wine shop opened, but she has not yet been able to meet her parents.
Dou Jiande and Du Fuwei are different. They are under house arrest in the mansion. The entrance is strictly guarded. How can anyone enter the house?
Of course, there is still some progress.
Recently, there has been a little relaxation there. The soldiers who were guarding Dou Jiande gradually heard that a wine shop had opened here, so they came here to drink and see if the little lady selling the wine was as beautiful as the rumors.
Cui Jingnu, as the daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe, was reduced to the situation of selling liquor as a barbarian. She felt deeply embarrassed and refused to show her face easily.
Dou Xianniang had other plans, so she took charge of entertaining the guests.
When she was in Shandong and Hebei, she often hung out with the people under Dou Jiande's command. She had a fierce and fierce temperament, and she had an appetite for Qianniu Preparations. She became familiar with them after going back and forth.
I got a few words from these people. I heard that my parents were well and that they had gone out for a walk recently. It seemed that the dog emperor did not want to kill his father.
Dou Xian Niang couldn't help but feel a lot more at ease. Now that the New Year is approaching, they say that she misses her relatives even more during the festive season, which is true at all. So she finally couldn't control her longing and went to deliver wine to those people with a wine jar. She dropped in by the way.
Come to the house and have a look.
……………………
When she walked out the door, she saw a group of people passing by. Little did she know that among them was the Dog Emperor, whom she had been cursing all the time. She was just accustomed to cursing the nobles who showed off their power, and she said it happily.
When the men and horses were far away, she stamped her feet and grinned due to the north wind. She kept comforting herself in her heart. Compared with the winter in Hebei, the weather here was far worse. Dou would not freeze to death.
.
After a while, she carried the wine jar and walked through the heavy snow to find the side door of the mansion. She was still thinking about it. She didn't know who was holding the door today. It was better if she was familiar with it, but if it was someone she had never seen before...
...just brought out their superior officers to suppress him, and everyone in the yamen fell into this trap.
They arrived within a few steps, but she hesitated a little. She looked up at the high wall and felt furious. Damn, I was so anxious that I jumped over the wall at night...
She knocked on the door, but no one responded for a long time. As she waited, Dou Xian Niang wanted to kick the door open.
Seeing that no one answered the door, she went around the wall to find another side door. This time, after knocking twice, someone opened the door...
……………………
At this time, in the inner house of the mansion, Dou Jiande and his wife did not know that their daughter was digging a hole in the door and wanted to come in to see them, but they were unable to do so.
However, unlike what outsiders imagined, the King of Hebei who was under house arrest was not depressed or indulged in wine and sex.
At this time, in a courtyard of the back house, Dou Jiande was wrestling with a stone lock. He must have been exercising for a long time. In the winter, he was sweating profusely and steaming.
After coming to Chang'an for a few months, he seemed to have figured out something and started to exercise his muscles again. It seemed that he wanted to live for two more years.
The effect is still very significant. In less than two months, the fat that was raised in the Xiaguo Palace in Hebei has disappeared a lot, and the spirit has become stronger.
His wife, Ms. Cao, stood on the corridor with her two maids. Seeing her husband struggling so happily, Ms. Cao was filled with complaints.
I don’t know how many times I muttered in my heart, Da Lang was tossing so hard, couldn’t he be trying to become stronger so that he could find a chance to escape from Chang’an?
The couple was surrounded by other people's ears and eyes, and she did not dare to speak out her thoughts for fear of being overheard and causing her husband's life.
At this time, Dou Jiande finally ran out of energy and waved, and someone immediately gave him a cloth. He wiped his sweat carelessly and laughed happily.
He came to Ms. Cao's side, put his arm around her shoulders and walked back into the house together.
After freshening up, he happily said to his mother-in-law: "Don't be so bored. There is no shortage of food and wine here. Don't you want me to have a few concubines to make me happy?"
Mrs. Cao was very dissatisfied with his optimistic words, but she was not afraid that he would cheat on her. The couple had lived and died together, and had gone through many hardships to reach this point. They were like brothers, and no one could leave the other behind.
"As long as you don't rush to seek death, we will burn some incense. You can take some concubines to show me. I may stab you while you are asleep. Then we will see who is embarrassed."
