Chapter 10: A Sudden Chill 1

Because the only wife, Zhang, has always been indifferent and does not like to take care of things, although it is inconvenient for a man to take care of too many things in the inner courtyard, in order to let Liu Ruyun live better in Zhufu, the old man Zhu personally pointed out a personal maid to Liu Ruyun after Liu Ruyun became the second aunt of Zhufu, which is Ziyu.

Ziyu was sold into Zhu's Mansion when she was five or six years old, signed a death deed, and was a maid of Zhu's Mansion all her life.

Because she was smart and clever since she was a child, she was very pleasing to Old Man Zhu and his wife Zhang, and when Ziyu was in her teens, Zhang promoted Ziyu to be a first-class maid who waited close by her side.

Because she entered the Zhu Mansion at an early age, Ziyu grew up with Liu Ruyun, who was a child of the family, and the relationship between the two was very good, and Ziyu has always regarded Liu Ruyun as her own sister.

At that time, although she suddenly became Liu Ruyun's personal maid, Ziyu was a little uncomfortable, but Ziyu was still very happy from the heart.

In the past, Ziyu could still call Liu Ruyun "sister" enthusiastically, but after Liu Ruyun became the second aunt of Zhufu at that time, Ziyu called Liu Ruyun like this again.

However, if Ziyu opened her mouth and closed her mouth to call Liu Ruyun "second aunt", Ziyu couldn't shout, because the title of "second aunt" sounded like it was just below the lady of the main house, but Ziyu understood that she was still a concubine after all!

Yes, from the day she was assigned, Ziyu began to call Liu Ruyun "Miss" in private.

Back then, the reason why Old Man Zhu forced Zhu Huina to marry Liu Ruyun was for two reasons:

First, Liu Ruyun was born to Zhu Jing's wife Zhang's dowry maid, and her personality is the same as her mother, gentle and peaceful, not arrogant or impatient, she is the standard daughter-in-law in Zhu Jing's mind, not like Chen Rou who is full of scheming, and if this matter is messed up, Liu Ruyun is afraid that she will never be able to marry again in the future.

The second is to prevent his old face from being lost by Zhu Hui's evil obstacles.

Although Zhu Jing did not let Zhu Huina marry Liu Ruyun until Zhu Zimo was born, it was quite opportunistic, but "it is not too late to make amends", doing this can at least save some face and reputation for Zhu Jing and even Zhu Fu to the greatest extent.

But Zhu Hui didn't think so, Zhu Hui was extremely dissatisfied with Zhu Jing's decision!

Zhu Hui only thought that he was a concubine of the Zhu Mansion and the only son of Zhu Jing, why did he want such a noble identity to marry a maid who was a female celebrity as a second aunt?

Later, although Zhu Hui couldn't resist Zhu Jing's coercion, he had no choice but to marry Liu Ruyun, but Zhu Zimo was affected by Chiyu. After that, Liu Ruyun's widowhood life of more than 20 years also began.

Zhu Hui was dissatisfied with Liu Ruyun being an inferior maid as his second aunt, so on the day Zhu Zimo was born 100 days ago, he directly gave the word "Mo" as Zhu Zimo's name.

Two sons, one "Yao" and one "Mo", one in the sky and one in the ground.

The intention of Zhu Hui's move is obvious: even if you Zhu Zimo was born to the second aunt of Zhu Mansion, he, Zhu Hui, only thinks that Zhu Zimo is a stranger who has nothing to do with him.

Although Zhu Jing was very dissatisfied with Zhu Hui's name for Zhu Zimo, because Zhu Jing had interfered too much in the affairs between Zhu Hui and Liu Ruyun, it was no longer good to name his grandson beyond his seniority, so he could only follow Zhu Hui.

The so-called "three-year-old looks old", when Zhu Ziyao was three years old, he only knew that he chased the maids in the house every day and asked them to play with him, but Zhu Zimo knew that he would serve tea and pour water for Zhu Jing, and sometimes he would take the initiative to ask Zhu Jing to teach him to read and write.

Looking at the two grandsons who are almost the same age, they behave very differently, Zhu Jing feels more and more that his original decision was correct.

Moreover, although Zhu Jing's wife Zhang has already made it clear that Chen Rou and Liu Ruyun don't have to get up early every day to greet her, there are still rules that should be there!

Liu Ruyun later stopped asking the Zhang family for peace because his physical condition was not good, and he was afraid that he would give the Zhang family his illness, but what about Chen Rou? Chen Rou has not gone to ask the Zhang family since she married into the Zhu Mansion!

Yes, such two layers are superimposed, and after a long time, Zhu Jing likes Zhu Zimo more and more, and he is tired of Zhu Ziyao.

Because they have always been protected by Zhu Jing, the head of the Zhu family, although Zhu Zimo and Liu Ruyun have no status in the Zhu Mansion, the two of them had a good life at that time, not to mention Ziyu, a loyal subordinate, who is protecting them!

However, no matter how good the day is, there will be a day when it will come to an end! No matter how strong the backer is, there will be a moment when it falls!

On Zhu Zimo's fourteenth birthday, Old Man Zhu announced a decision in front of more than 100 people in the Zhu Mansion that shocked everyone in the Zhu Mansion: after his death, the Han Courtyard where he lived and all the belongings in the Han Courtyard belonged to Zhu Zimo!

After hearing this news, Zhu Hui was angry, Chen Rou was hateful, and Zhu Ziyao gritted his teeth!

However, this qiē turned into a floating cloud in the sky under the words of Old Man Zhu.

Old Man Zhu said: "If any of you are not convinced, you will come and stab me to death this old bone, and whoever stabs me to death will belong to the Han Yuan and the property in the Han Yuan! I promise not to let the government stab a single hair of my people to death." ”

How much sacrifice did Old Man Zhu make for Zhu Zimo! An old man who is almost a sixtieth year, in order to protect his beloved grandson, said such cruel words in front of more than 100 people in the Zhu Mansion, how admirable this is!

In fact, if it was just the courtyard of the Han Academy, Zhu Jing would give it to Zhu Zimo, after all, Zhu Jing was the head of the Zhu family, and no one dared to stop him and say that Zhu Jing's decision was wrong.

Moreover, although the Zhu family is not as good as those princes and nobles, it is also a family background that has been handed down for hundreds of years, and the Zhu Mansion alone covers an area of more than 50 acres (1 mu is equal to 666.67 square meters), and the large and small courtyards in the inner and outer courtyards of the house add up to more than 10 in total. Although the Han Courtyard is the largest courtyard in Zhu's Mansion, it is not a big deal that Zhu Jing has to give it to Zhu Zimo.

The Hanyuan itself is not valuable, but the decoration in the two-story pavilion in the Hanyuan is very valuable!

Only the study on the first floor that Zhu Jing is accustomed to, the four treasures of the study room in it are all the best and most expensive, and those tables, chairs, cabinets, are all made of genuine high-quality mahogany, not to mention the rest of the rooms.

These are still secondary, what really makes Zhu Hui, Chen Rou, and Zhu Ziyao excited, but it is the small warehouse behind the pavilion of the Han Academy.

You must know that Zhu Jing had a very wide network when he was alive, and he had contacts with many officials in the current court. Many of them later even became important members of the DPRK and China.

As the old saying goes: Shinong industry and commerce. Those who are officials in the court, even if they are children of poor families, even if they are small poor talents, they look down on those businessmen who are full of copper smell, but Zhu Jing can make friends with many officials in the court, which can be described as very legendary in the business world.

Because of this, the threshold of Zhu's Mansion was trampled by those businessmen who came up to Zhu Jing with their eyes.

Although Zhu Jing adhered to the principle of no merit and no repercussions, he was unwilling to accept all kinds of gifts from businessmen who came to his door, and sometimes even directly turned away visitors.

But there are always times when people are confused, as long as Zhu Jing is a little confused, the small warehouse of the Han Academy will immediately be filled with all kinds of rare treasures.

In general, what Chen Rou and Zhu Ziyao looked at was not the courtyard of the Han Academy, but the mountains of rare treasures in the small warehouse behind the attic of the Han Academy.

Chen Rou knew very well that the things in the small warehouse, which was half smaller than a side room, would be enough for her and Zhu Ziyao to spend a year if they took out one piece and sold it.

As long as she gets that small warehouse, Chen Rou can no longer eat in the public middle school, she can open a small stove alone, and those jewelry and clothes can also be bought with what she likes, and she no longer needs to be restricted by moon silver.

Therefore, since Zhu Jing announced that he would transfer the Han Yuan and all the property in the Han Yuan to Zhu Zimo, Chen Rou and Zhu Ziyao, who regarded money as their fate, were anxious.

As soon as Chen Rou and Zhu Ziyao were in a hurry, the Zhu Mansion began to make a fuss.

Chen Rou knew that Zhu Jing had never been willing to see her, and she would not stupidly come to Zhu Jing and ask Zhu Jing to take back the words that she had given the Han Academy to Zhu Zimo, so she only dared to instigate Zhu Hui to make trouble with Zhu Jing.

Originally, Chen Rou planned that the Zhu family would pass on the Zhu family, and Zhu Jing would be Zhu Hui's son, as long as Zhu Hui opened his mouth and asked Zhu Jing to assign the Han Courtyard to him, with Zhu Hui's favor for her, then the things in the Han Courtyard would not be her Chen Rou's in the future?

However, people are not as good as heaven, Chen Rou's abacus finally ended when Zhu Hui went to Zhu Jing for the third time to make trouble, and Zhu Jing personally beat the Korean courtyard with bamboo sticks.

Later, a month and a half passed after this incident, and Old Man Zhu suddenly went. I went in my sleep, and I walked very peacefully.

There is a neatly written suicide note on the bookcase in the study of the Han Academy, which clearly states that except for the Han Yuan and all the property in the Han Yuan, all the properties of the Zhu Mansion, including the Zhu family, are owned by Zhu Hui, but the premise is that Zhu Hui is not allowed to touch the grass and soil of the Han Yuan.

And, without Zhu Zimo's permission, everyone in the Zhu Mansion is not allowed to enter and leave the Han Courtyard without permission, and violators will be expelled from the Zhu Mansion.

In addition, in Zhu Hui's twilight years, it is necessary to hand over the position of the head of the Zhu family to someone who can afford the huge family business of the Zhu family.

As for who this "person who can afford the huge family business of the Zhu family" is, Old Man Zhu did not say it clearly in his will.

Don't think that this suicide note is just a piece of paper, Old Man Zhu has lived for more than 50 years, although he has been upright all his life, but as the so-called no business and no treachery, Zhu Jing cannot be prescient.

In order to prevent Zhu Hui or Chen Rou and Zhu Ziyao's mother and son from not acting according to his will, Old Man Zhu went to Jing Zhaoyin to set up a copywriter when he made this will. If there is a person in the Zhu Mansion who does not act according to his will, Zhu Zimo can file a complaint with Jing Zhaoyin, and Jing Zhaoyin has the right and must drive that person out of the Zhu Mansion.

No matter how much Zhu Hui, Chen Rou, and Zhu Ziyao's mother and son gritted their teeth against that will, they still didn't dare to fight with the officials after all, especially Jing Zhaoyin, who was the Kyoto Mansion Yin of Daliang, and Daliang officials were notoriously honest and honest!
