Chapter 236: Blocking the Road
Gyeonggi, on Seozhi Street. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zhu Hong sat in the carriage, drinking tea and reading with a book in his hand. After a while, he sighed softly, closed the book in his hand, lifted the curtain, and asked the little guy outside, "What's the matter, isn't the road ahead yet open?"
The little guy replied to him, "Master, I've seen enough." In front of it is the frame of the eldest son of the Zhou family meets the frame of the prince of Anguo, the shelves on both sides are big, and no one will let anyone, I think this has to be fought. ”
The Cui family and the Zhou family are both extremely powerful families in the court, and the eldest prince of Zhou and the prince of Anguo are both people who are not willing to be humble, so it is not surprising that the two sides will make trouble when they meet.
Zhu Hong said: "Then turn around and go another way." ”
Xiao Wu said: "I originally wanted to do it, but the Birthday Festival is approaching, and there are more people in Gyeonggi all of a sudden." Look at the street behind it, it's all horse-drawn carriages, and they're all blocked, and you can't even fall off the front of the car. I think that if no one with prestige comes out to reconcile the eldest prince of the Zhou family and the prince of An Guohou in the middle, this road can be blocked until night. ”
Zhu Hong stretched out his head and looked behind, followed by rows of carriages that were indeed endless, one after another waiting behind.
Zhu Hong looked at the sky, but he was not in a hurry, so he said: "Then wait a little longer, if the road is not open in another half an hour, you go and find a horse for the master, and the master can ride a horse." ”
The little guy said happily: "Master, the little one has to be ordered." He said and said with a smile: "Maybe this road will be opened soon, because the little one saw that His Royal Highness King Qi had come to mediate in front of me." ”
Zhu Hong raised his eyebrows, said "oh", and then didn't speak again.
King Qi's recent limelight in Gyeonggi has been unparalleled for a while, thanks to the dozen or so boxes he brought back when he returned to Beijing, and many people are still discussing what treasures he contained in his boxes. In addition, in the past two days, the king of Qi has also acted very high-profile, and after returning to Beijing, in addition to entering the palace to visit the queen mother, he brought a heavy gift to visit all the six books.
I am afraid that this is only a short time for the king of Qi to return to Beijing, and he only has time to go to the six Shangshu mansions, looking at his posture, and in a few days, I am afraid that even the mansions of the Chinese military officials with some real power will have to go to the door.
acted in such a high-profile manner, but he was not afraid of the emperor's suspicion and taboo.
It was that the civil and military officials all stared at the emperor's reaction, thinking that King Qi's behavior would definitely be angry and take action, but he saw that the emperor seemed to have no idea what King Qi had done outside the palace, and what he should do was still what he should do. There are some courtiers who are figuring out the emperor's thoughts, and they hint at some of the emperor, and the emperor still pretends to be deaf and dumb and ignores them.
Zhu Hong put his hand on his knee, knocked his knee again and again, and pondered with his eyes down.
It didn't take long to hear the little guy outside happily say, "It's through, master, it's through the front." The prince of An Guohou first let the frame of the eldest prince of Zhou pass, and the road was finally smooth. ”
Zhu Hong couldn't help but laugh a little, but the joy was not the same thing as the little guy. King Qi treated Zhou Geng so politely, it seems that he still wants to win over the Zhou family.
After the little servant finished speaking, he had already raised his horsewhip and drove on. As he walked, he asked Zhu Hong, "Master, are you still going to Jiang Mansion today?"
Zhu Hong said: "Go, why don't you go." ”
The little maid was a little unhappy and said: "Why should the master rush to pick them up, if you want the little one to say, you should let the old lady and the old man be tortured in the Jiang family for a while." Thinking about the suffering that the master suffered in the Zhu family before, the old lady and the master are retribution today, why should the master care about them. The lord used to teach the little ones, saying that how to repay grievances with virtue is to repay virtue, and now how can the lord repay grievances with virtue. ”
Zhu Hong shook his head with a smile and said, "Ye knows that you are unhappy with Ye, but Ye has his own opinions, and you will do what you do." ”
When the little guy heard this, he laughed and asked for credit: "The little one is loyal to the master, and the master told the little one to do which thing was not done." If the little one didn't have this bit of cleverness, the little one wouldn't have been able to follow the master for so many years. He said and said: "The little ones are looking for someone to stare at the Jiang Mansion these days, the old lady and the old man are really unhappy in the Jiang Mansion, and the new aunt in the Jiang Mansion is very tricky and spicy, giving the old lady and the old man a lot of grievances." Madame and the second young master are not people who can share the hardships with the old lady and the old lady, the lady has the dowry in her hand, and often finds excuses to take the second young master out of the house to enjoy herself outside, and only go back at night. Then he was puzzled, and said: "The master said that this lady is also very strange, why did you say that the lady didn't leave, since the Zhu family is so down, why should she still rely on it." ”
Zhu Hong smiled lightly: "Yes, why don't you guess for your master, what is Madame's idea?"
As soon as the little guy heard his tone, he knew that he had a good idea of Mrs. Zhu's purpose, so he smiled and said: "Master will play tricks on the little one, the little one is not smarter than the one, how can the little one guess it......"
The master and servant talked as they walked, and in a blink of an eye, Jiang's Mansion was close in front of them.
At this time, in the Jiang Mansion, Mrs. Zhu and Master Zhu were indeed having a hard time.
At this time, Master Zhu was being interrogated by the Jiang family as a thief, and it was Jiang Kun's Aunt Feng who interrogated him, and the stolen goods were just a bowl of bird's nest.
Mr. Zhu's mother and son had a hard time in the Jiang family, the Jiang family didn't treat them as relatives at all, and gave them a dilapidated yard to live in, and they just didn't want to be held by people outside, but the subordinates of the Jiang Mansion never treated them as distinguished guests.
Mr. Zhu has been eating yellow cabbage with white flour steamed buns every day these days, and his mouth is almost free, so he can't bear it today, so he found the kitchen to find something with oil and water to eat. When I arrived at Jiang's kitchen, it happened that no one in the kitchen was there, and a bowl of stewed bird's nest was placed on the kitchen table.
The bird's nest was originally intended for Aunt Feng, but now she is pregnant and asks the small kitchen to stew a bowl of bird's nest for her in the morning and evening.
Master Zhu saw a flash of inspiration, so he relied on the momentum of lightning speed, took advantage of the fact that there was no one left and right, drank the bird's nest directly, licked the bowl after drinking, threw the bowl back on the table after drinking, wiped his mouth clean, and swaggered back with two chicken legs in his arms by the way.
When the kitchen came back and saw that the bird's nest in the kitchen was gone, they naturally reported it to Aunt Feng, and then asked a little, and then a maid said that she saw Master Zhu enter the small kitchen, and then Aunt Feng suddenly became energetic, and she took someone to catch the thief and take the stolen goods.
Although bird's nest is precious, it is nothing to a house like the Jiang family, and Master Zhu is an in-law, even if he eats it, it is not a big deal, Aunt Feng has to treat Master Zhu as a thief with such fanfare, so it can only be said that it is deliberately aimed at the Zhu family.
