Chapter 1323: Appointment
In the evening, Dou Xiaoguo came out of the Ministry of Rites, and during the day, he received a post from Xuan Shijing. Therefore, after the time came, Dou Xiaoguo packed up and left the Ministry of Revenue.
He dared not not to go to the appointment for his father-in-law's post.
Fortunately, after the Ministry of Rites handed over the roster, there was nothing particularly anxious about it.
He rode his horse to Daozhengfang and entered the gate. Dou Xiaoguo handed the horse to the servants in the mansion and hurried to the living room.
"Master, Mr. Dou is here." The butler knocked on the door of Xuan Shijing's study and said while standing outside the door.
"Let him come to the study to find me." Xuan Shijing said.
"yes."
The butler went downstairs to welcome Dou Xiaoguo. Dou Xiaoguo followed the butler upstairs and came to the door of Xuan Shijing's study. He knocked on the door. After hearing Xuan Shijing's voice, he pushed the door open and then pushed the door in.
"My father-in-law." Dou Xiaoguo bowed and bowed.
"Let's find a place to do it yourself." Xuan Shijing raised his head and looked at Dou Xiaoguo with a happy look.
Dou Xiaoguo nodded and sat on the chair on one side.
"I called you here to ask you about the Ministry of Rites. Of course, you don't have to be too nervous. I still know what to ask about the officialdom and what not to ask about it." Xuan Shijing said.
"Yes, my father-in-law, may I ask?" Dou Xiaoguo said.
"Who selected the list presented by the Ministry of Rites to Your Majesty?" Xuan Shijing asked.
"This... is an official from the Ministry of Rites. In Chang'an City, he inquired about the women who were waiting for their names in the home of Chang'an City officials. Then he drafted the first list, which contained the birth dates and horoscopes of the women. Later, the list was sent to the Imperial Heaven Supervision and selected a group of people with the birth dates and horoscopes. This is the second list, and it is also a list for His Majesty. It was not specially selected by anyone." Dou Xiaoguo said the truth.
"Have your boss asked you about the list?" Xuan Shijing asked.
Dou Xiaoguo nodded: "I asked, I have read the bookmarks, and there is no problem, and there is no taboo."
"In other words, you know who is on the list." Xuan Shijing said: "On the list, there is a girl named Wang Qingfan, the daughter of Wang Shouli, the doctor of the Imperial College. Do you know that, right?"
Dou Xiaoguo replied: "It seems that there is such a girl, father-in-law, is there any problem with this girl?"
They were all taken out and said separately. If Dou Xiaoguo still couldn't feel anything, it would be too slow.
"The girl has nothing special about herself. What's special is that his father Wang Shouli had contact with the Wang family in Langya. It can even be said that he had relied on the Wang family. Later, my Ang family participated in the money house case. Whether it was Chang'an or Langya's hometown, they were destroyed. Wang Shouli was a smart man. He broke free from this relationship in advance and did not leave any handle. Therefore, he is still safe and steady as his Doctor of the Imperial College. His daughter is in the list. If this matter is brought up in the future and His Majesty knows, your officials of the Ministry of Rites will not be able to escape responsibility."
"I really don't know about this." Dou Xiaoguo said in surprise: "It was only the first list that the Ministry of Rites followed the rules and the officials from the lower office visited and inquired in Chang'an City."
"The first roster, you Shangshu hasn't read it?" Xuan Shijing asked.
"I have seen it, but I didn't say anything." Dou Xiaoguo said: "My father-in-law, this matter... Could it be that Mr. father-in-law, you have thought too much about it?"
"Thinking more is better than not wanting." Xuan Shijing said: "It's always good to be cautious, but since this book has been handed over, you have to be more concerned about this matter. After all, you are the one who comes to the palace to meet the saint. In addition, when you are in the Ministry of Rites these days, try to clarify this matter as clearly as possible."
"Okay, my son-in-law understands." Dou Xiaoguo said.
Dou Xiaoguo also knew that so many people died because of the money house case. His Majesty was particularly important to the matter involving the money house case. The Wang family was gone. As for Wang Shouli and his daughter on the list, I wonder if it could be said that it was harmless.
However, it is necessary to check the matter of Wang Shouli's daughter appearing on the list. The officials below were not careful enough to handle the matter. If something really happened in this regard, the blame would be a minister of the Ministry of Rites and two ministers.
Unfortunately, Dou Xiaoguo is one of them.
After thinking about it all the time, Xuan Shijing always felt a little bad in his heart, thinking that there was something strange about this, but he couldn't think of the reason.
"You should be busy in Chang'an these days, right?" Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
After the important matter is over, we can also talk about some relaxed things between the father-in-law and son-in-law.
"Yes, the son-in-law just took office at the Ministry of Rites. There are many things that need to be familiar with, and the son-in-law dare not neglect it." Dou Xiaoguo said: "Just as my father-in-law said before, if the son-in-law has performed the ceremony and become the Minister of Rites, he must be able to be a person who stands alone. Otherwise, how can he live a good life in the future and give An An a stable home?"
Xuan Shijing was naturally happy when he heard what he said.
His son-in-law is concerned about his daughter and knows how to be ambitious. In his eyes, this is better than anything else.
"Although you are young and have such a status, you should work hard, but don't force yourself too much." Xuan Shijing said: "Even if you want to do things, you have to do it step by step. I will stay in Chang'an for a while recently. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me, we are a family now, and I will not leave you alone."
"Son-in-law, thank you, father-in-law."
"The family doesn't have to be so polite. I stayed in Chang'an. In fact, there is another thing that I stayed in Chang'an City, that is, your marriage with An'an. This is what the two adults worry about. I don't know what to do with the Dou family, but as an old father, I have to prepare the best for my daughter." Xuan Shijing smiled.
Once he became a father, he would inevitably fall into this cliché and worry about his children.
"This is not the son-in-law." Dou Xiaoguo said with some shame: "Originally, the one who should be concerned about this matter should be the son-in-law."
Since he got engaged to An An, he has only been to Zhuangzi last time, and later, he has also become busy in Chang'an City.
However, as a man, Xuan Shijing could understand Dou Xiaoguo. At this stage, he was temporarily unwilling to do both. Anyway, he was still here, and he could help and make Dou Xiaoguo easier. It was nothing.
