Chapter 35: Snooping
Maybe what Zhang Zhaohua didn't expect was that she was not the only one to witness the secret meeting between Taisun and Ma, and she also saw all this with a pair of alert and playful eyes, but this person did not break or scream at an inopportune time, but also chose to remain silent.

Zhu Gaoxu watched his grandson leave the Zhuwang Pavilion in a hurry, and he did not rush back to his room, but stayed in the viewing pavilion in the garden for a while, until he found a little eunuch by his side, saying that his brother Zhu Gaochi was looking for him, and then walked back slowly.
"Where have you been?" Zhu Gaochi saw him and said, "Don't be sleepy for a while at noon, I'm going to listen to Huang Zhan's homework soon, don't be listless when the time comes, Huang Zhanshi is not fake to you." ”
"Huang Zicheng," Gao Xu sneered and said: "And that Qi Tai, what are they, full of empty talk, scholars misleading the country! He looks at us like that-a watchdog looks at a thief! There are only some such people around Donggong, I think sooner or later I will kill him!"
"What nonsense!" Gao Chi first reprimanded him severely, then glanced outside, and said in a low voice: "You are still like this, you have no scruples about talking, have you forgotten what your father told us? The wall has ears and the wall has ears, this is Jingshi, not Beiping where you can make trouble if you want to say it! Jinyiwei is pervasive in this place, you say this behind your back, Taisun, who knows if there is any ear report god here!"
"No," Gao Xu said, "Don't worry, I've seen it all, and his people have gone with him." ”
"You don't sleep, where are the people who ran outside to keep an eye on Taisun?" Gao Chi was obviously a little angry, "You are becoming more and more lawless!"
"Brother, don't be angry," Gao Xu said, "I didn't mean to keep an eye on him, but didn't you find out that he had other plans for coming to the Zhuwang Pavilion these days?"
"Since we came to the Zhuwang Pavilion, as well as Brother Qin Shizi, Brother Jin Shizi, and the little uncles who came back from the ancestral tomb, he has come to the hall very often," Gao Xu said: "It's not that he came to visit us to envelop us, but to see his polite appearance, alienated from us! I didn't know why he ran to the hall when he was unhappy to see us, but today I know what's going on." ”
"What's going on?" Gao Chi asked him.
"He's in this restaurant, there's an old friend!" Gao Xu said in his ear excitedly: "It's the show girl in the restaurant who is being selected! I don't know how the two hooked up, it's a good family!"
"How do you know so well?" Gao Chi said in surprise, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"No," said Gao Xu, "I couldn't sleep at noon and walked around the garden, but when I stood on the edge of the pond and saw him come in a hurry, I was also startled, so I hid behind." He didn't come for me, he walked to the corner door and knocked lightly, and after a while, someone opened the door for him, and I fixed my eyes and saw that it was actually a woman, and the two of them pulled and pulled and whispered a lot of disgusting words under the wall, so that I didn't dare to move my head when I lay on the pool bricks, and I don't know when a heavenly cow came in and bit me on the arm, and it hurt until now!"
He stretched out his arm and put his clothes up, and sure enough, there was a big red envelope.
Gao Chi put some plaster on him and said, "Who is that woman, and what does she look like?"
"I didn't see it clearly, but I knew what her surname was," Gao Xu recalled: "She claimed to be surnamed Ma, and there didn't seem to be the No. 1 family with such a surname Ma, could it be a commoner woman, or the daughter of a petty official?"
"I heard about this draft," Gao Chi groaned: "Seven or eight out of ten are the daughters of small families, and the meaning of the palace may be that they will not be married to Xungui in the future, and it is even said that the future concubines or something will be selected from ordinary people." ”
"I think it's a little unlikely," Gao Xu hit the nail on the head and said: "The emperor's grandfather's more than 20 sons, the first thirteen, all of them have courted the daughters of the nobles, and these nobles are at least second-class officials like the governor, not to mention the princes and marquis;
Since ancient times, there has been a theory in China called "not suffering from inequality between the widow and the widow", especially when it comes to the treatment of many children by parents. Why can the previous brother marry a princess with a high family background? Why should a son after him marry a woman with no identity and no background as his wife? Thinking about the difference between the identities of the concubines and the earth, I don't know how many things will happen, how embarrassing it is.
"Besides, what the imperial grandfather wants is not to let Xungui be a relative again," Gao Xu sneered: "If you add a parent, then there is no way to curb this group of arrogant military ministers - but haven't you thought that these nobles and the royal family can't be relatives, they can only turn their heads and be relatives with other nobles of the same family, Guogong and Guogong, Guohou and Guohou, even Guogong and Guohou, if you marry me, don't you have to repeat the story of the five surnames and seven hopes?"
"It's not as terrifying as you think," Gao Chi said: "Where are there any such things as the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes now? Such things as world vouchers can be taken back if they are given; land and land property were originally given to meritorious heroes, but now they are not said to be taken back?"
In the past few years, the heroes who followed the emperor to fight the world have become more and more rare, and they are all shrinking like quails, for fear that they will not be able to protect day and night, where can they still have the ability to confront the imperial power?
"What do you do," Gao Chi suddenly sighed: "What they do, it has nothing to do with us, the emperor's grandfather wants to remove all the thorns on the stick, and hand over a world that does not grind his hands to Zhu Yunwen, that is his consideration; ”
"If he, Zhu Yunwen, really deserves his reputation for kindness and generosity. Gao Chi snorted in a disdainful voice: "I think the uncle of the first prince is really generous, and his reputation as Zhu Yunwen was brought out to him by the old people of the East Palace!"
Gao Chi is naturally aware of this, after all, whether people can communicate with each other or not, they will naturally know after a long time. They followed Zhu Yunwen to study in the main hall, and when they met sooner or later, they naturally saw the truth and falsehood, and thought that the other vassal kings and the sons of the vassal kings also understood in their hearts.
Zhu Gaochi still remembered that one day he walked in front of the Zishan Hall and heard Qi Tai's loud voice: "Your Highness's brothers, all of them are not kind to their generation! Your Highness is generous and benevolent, and I am afraid that he will not be remembered! He must be wary of this generation in the future!"
At that time, he really doubted that how could such a generous and benevolent uncle of the former prince that his father often read on his lips give birth to such a son? It is said that Zhu Yunwen and his father have the same character, but such a reputation of benevolence and filial piety actually suddenly appeared after the death of Prince Yiwen, because it is said that at the funeral of the former prince, Zhu Yunwen mourned and ruined the ceremony, and lost weight due to excessive grief, and the emperor comforted him and said: "Sincere and pure filial piety, don't care about me" - it was the emperor who gave him such a reputation.
"Don't say it again," Gao Chi waved his hand and said: "What you see today, don't say a word outside, after all, you must know that he will be a king in the future, after all, we will all rely on him to live. ”
Gao Xu's eyes were clearly unconvinced, but he didn't argue.
"Oh, and asked if you saw Youjiao," Gao Chi said, "Every time he gets out of class, he doesn't know where to run." ”
"Where else can Zhu Youjiao go," Gao Xu snorted: "You can't do without women's goods for a day, you just need to send someone to the sixteenth floor of Qinhuai, and look for him one by one, and there will always be a floor to find him." ”
