As soon as the old lady finished saying this, Zhao Jun and Qing Liu stared at her with sparkling eyes.
Obviously he wanted to hear a good show.
Zhao Jun didn't expect that there was such gossip in Dou Xiu's family.
The old lady didn't keep them waiting for long, and quickly told them the whole story like pouring beans.
"Lord Dou has only one daughter, and he loves her dearly. Now that she's getting married, the family is busy arranging the arrangements. I heard privately that Lord Dou wants to marry his daughter to the county governor's eldest son."
Hmm~ The county magistrate’s eldest son…
Zhao Jun and Qing Liu looked at each other silently. Isn't that the one who was at the lunch banquet?
Zhao Jun recalled the man's appearance.
Well, how should I put it? You can’t say that just because I’m ugly, I’m just like everyone else.
"Lord Dou's daughter is called Dou Jiaying, and she's absolutely beautiful. The county magistrate's son isn't quite as pretty, but I don't know if it's true or not, but they didn't make it."
Could it be a melodramatic story of a rich girl abandoning her young master and falling in love with a Phoenix man?
"Later, it was rumored that Miss Dou didn't want to get married and was thinking of establishing a daughter-in-law household or taking in a son-in-law."
"But unmarried women cannot establish a female household, and even married women rarely do so, so this idea was rejected."
"What about marrying in?" Qingliu asked hurriedly. It was the first time she heard of such a thing and she admired the girl very much.
"Don't be impatient. Besides, as for marrying a daughter, Lord Dou only has one daughter. It's reasonable to accept one, but Lord Dou doesn't want to. He says that as an official appointed by the court, how can he let his daughter marry a son-in-law? He's afraid of upsetting the king."
No, how could Ying Zheng care whether an official’s daughter could marry into another’s family?
Zhao Jun felt speechless. Not to mention that Ying Zheng was not that kind of person, how could Dou Xiu, as a father, have such a ridiculous idea?
"Then what? Is this Miss Dou planning to marry just anyone in a fit of rage?" Zhao Jun asked back.
What my father did was not right, but I can’t treat myself badly.
"Hey, you don't understand this. Didn't I say before that Miss Dou's husband is an illiterate peasant?"
When she said this, the old lady was so excited that her face was beaming with joy.
"Could it be that this guy from the countryside has some extraordinary background?"
"That's not the case."
"But there are some special things. This man is particularly miserable. Both his parents died when he was young. His family only has one acre of land. He has to do odd jobs from time to time, otherwise he can't fill his stomach. The family has no savings. They only have a small house in the fields. They built it themselves, and it's not very good."
"So miserable?"
Qingliu frowned, feeling it was a great pity.
"How can I find such a person?"
Zhao Jun smiled slowly, well, a faint smile without saying anything.
"Little girl, you don't understand. Although the man in this land has nothing, Miss Dou has it. Madam Dou is a famous lady in this state. How can she not give a dowry when her daughter gets married?"
"Think about it again. This man has nothing and no parents. Miss Dou will have no parents-in-law when she marries him. An illiterate peasant will be completely subdued by Miss Dou."
"Then tell me, apart from changing your surname, what's the difference between this and marrying into the wife's family?"
"This man eats and lives with Miss Dou, and he can still resist. Otherwise, Miss Dou is smart. She will have a happy life in the future."
Zhao Jun smiled, he was wrong before.
This Miss Dou is clearly playing the role of a heroine who supports a man and strives to become stronger!
"So that's how it is. This young lady is truly remarkable."
Qingliu also understood and couldn't help but admire this young lady even more.
"Yes, that's why Miss Dou is such a smart person."
"Old lady, bring me some noodles."
When a customer came over, the old lady left her seat and went back to the stall to get busy.
"Sir, tell me if this Miss Dou is very powerful. Can I do the same in the future?"
Qingliu was a little envious, envious of the young lady's intelligence and boldness.
"Miss Dou is indeed very impressive. This is inseparable from the fact that she has a good family and a mother who treats her very well. As for you."
Zhao Jun smiled and paused for a moment.
"Since your family can't rely on you, you have to be stronger. Once you become strong, no one can control you. You can do whatever you want. If you don't meet someone you like, then it doesn't matter if you don't get married."
"I understand. Thank you, sir."
Qingliu nodded thoughtfully, having learned something new today.
"Okay, we've finished shopping, let's go back."
After a tour, Zhao Jun had a basic understanding of the situation in Hanzhong County and heard some gossip, which made him feel quite satisfied.
The next day, they set out on their journey as usual.
The first stop was Fangling County, which Wang Deng was familiar with.
"How is it going? How is the matter that I asked you to inquire about?"
As soon as he got in the car, Zhao Jun remembered something and couldn't wait to ask Qingliu.
"Everyone has inquired clearly. The wedding ceremony just ended yesterday, and the official wedding day has been set for May 21st."
521?
Zhao Jun pursed his lips and said, "That's still more than two months."
"Sir, you are asking this because you want to attend the wedding." Qingliu said with some excitement.
"Yes, that's what I meant. I'm really curious about this Miss Dou and I really want to meet her."
"Well, remember this date. If you don't have anything urgent to do, we can come back and visit."
She was so curious that she wouldn't have the chance to meet him now, but she thought she could attend the wedding.
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Qingliu nodded and remembered this day. She was also very curious.
