85. Storm again
After practicing martial arts in the morning, Xu Da had a friend visit and went to the front hall to welcome guests. Xu Miaoyi and Xu Zengshou stayed in the school yard to sort out their weapons, Xu Zengshou wiped a spear and asked: "Sister, it's just a competition, why bother to go out and fight with your life?" Scared the hell out of me. ”
Xu Miaoyi put the double knife on the weapon shelf and said, "You don't understand, you can play outside with Chang Sen all day and all night without going home, and go there wherever you want." As a woman, locked in the door of the house, she is like a canary and cannot be free. I'm fighting for the privilege of being able to travel freely, and of course I'm going to give it my all. ”
Xu Zengshou sighed: "Daddy and I both spoil you and love you, almost all of them depend on you, you are not satisfied." ”
Xu Miaoyi said with a straight face: "I am a person, and I am not a small animal like a dog or cat." What is pampering? Not to mention that my father and brother love me now, even if I marry someone in the future, my husband's favor is not what I want. ”
Xu Zengshou asked, "Then what do you want?" ”
Xu Miaoyi thought for a while and said, "I can't tell what it is." To put it simply, it is to respect my ideas, treat me as a normal person, have my own attitude, and have my own capital to live in peace. Joys and sorrows come from the heart, and I don't have to be attached to anyone, even if they are my father, my husband, or even my children. ”
"If you don't even have the qualifications to travel freely, then what I'm talking about is just a flash."
The key is that if you can't travel freely, or as long as you travel, you will be accompanied by a group of guards of the Xu family, as well as a maid and a maid, Xu Miaoyi can't get out to find Zhang Shicheng's secret hiding in the picture!
Originally, I wanted to use the identity of the eldest lady of the Xu family to check the past of the Xie family through Xu Da's hand. But in order to avoid secrecy, Xu Da has already made it clear that it is impossible to get involved in anything with the Xie family, and this is already a dead end.
Now that he has severed contact with the Ming Sect, it is not feasible to use the connections and power of the Ming Sect as before. Therefore, it is necessary to go through the secret treasure map provided by the lord of Guò Yong'an and visit it secretly, completely on your own.
Xu Zengshou said with a two-skin face: "You are not rare and favored, I am rare!" How I wish my father could be obedient to me, give me whatever he wants, and not always beat me or scold me. ”
Xu Miaoyi asked: "Yes, the price is that you don't even have the freedom to go out, you are busy with housework or embroidery and writing all day long, are you willing to pay this price?" ”
Xu Zengshou shook his head again and again, "I'm a man, I can't sit still at home." ”
Xu Miaoyi also shook her head and said, "No one is born to be locked up at home. The so-called pampering, in fact, is imprisoned in the name of love, trapping women's hands, feet and hearts, so that they are willing to be locked up at home. ”
Xu Zengshou asked, "Sister, what do you want to do?" ”
Xu Miaoyi said: "Anyway, I don't want to be like my sister-in-law, trapped in the inner house, practicing Gu and fighting with a group of women, and training myself into a Gu king." ”
Gu King? Legend has it that the people in the south practiced Gu, put all kinds of poisonous insects in a box, buried them in the ground, and dug them out after a few years, and the only one who survived was the Gu King.
Thinking of this, Xu Zengshou got goosebumps, "How can it be so exaggerated, girl, you want to be left." ”
Xu Miaoyi put the sword in her hand into the sheath, "You men, you always fantasize about the harmony of wives and concubines, the harmony of aunts and sisters-in-law, and the beauty of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, deceiving others and deceiving yourself. ”
Jinling City, Baita Lane.
Squeak!
Zhou Wang Zhu Hu pushed open the door of a street shop, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance came to his face.
On the side, Zhu Di said: "Fifth brother, this shop is for you, and the people living around are ordinary people, so come here to practice medicine when you have time in the future." ”
"Thank you, Fourth Brother." Zhu Hu has obviously lost a lot of weight, and his black robe looks extraordinarily wide and empty when he wears a black robe. He walked into the pharmacy and reached the top of the row of medicine cabinets on the ceiling, where a familiar figure was standing on a ladder and pasting a red slip with the name of the medicine on the drawer where the medicine was kept.
"Gorou, you're just in time, help me put paste on the label." Xu Miaoyi looked back and smiled.
"The paste is ready." Song Xiu'er took half a basin of steaming white paste from the cubicle, and smiled at Zhu Hu: "Zhu Wulang, what are you doing at home all day?" A good man, it's time to do things, and even a little woman of mine has become a small boss of a rouge shop. ”
Ah Fu came back with the carriage and said happily: "I bought firecrackers, and I also invited the troupe to come over and blow them, and it will be open today." Doctor Zhu, I'm not used to living in Xujiazhan Garden, is it okay to go to your pharmacy to watch the door and do chores? ”
It's been three months, and the old lover has become a second sister-in-law. Only these people are still thinking about him and thinking about him, Zhu Huan's eyes are a little hot, and he almost burst into tears, "Uncle Fu doesn't have to be polite, as long as you can come, I will definitely welcome you." ”
Ah Fu immediately called the owner.
Zhu Hu rolled up his sleeves and helped to wipe the paste on the red stick. Zhu Di saw that his younger brother gradually came out of the shadows, and he was happy in his heart, and said: "Except for Ah Fu, the old man, this pharmacy is still there, and the rest are spies sent by my father to protect your safety, I can only do this for you." ”
Zhu Hu said: "My father can promise me to go out of the palace to practice medicine, which has already bothered the fourth brother, I don't dare to ask for too much, just have a place to continue to study medicine." As for the rest, I don't count on it. ”
In Zhu Hu's words and eyes, there was a kind of loneliness that could not be erased. He has always been under the protection of his brother, remaining innocent and not feeling the malice of this world.
And the appearance of Wang Yinnu completely defeated his innocence. I don't bother to pay attention to love, marriage, and even the future of politics, and I just want to realize my medical ideals - at least herbal medicine won't deceive people!
Zhou Wang Zhu Hu immersed himself in all kinds of medicinal herbs, carefully caring for each piece of herbs, as if he were a lover. It is said that plants and trees are ruthless, in fact, herbs can save lives, and people's hearts are sinister, indifferent and ruthless!
Or is it better to have herbs and never betray me.
In the roar of firecrackers and the sound of the troupe, Zhu Hu, who was like a rebirth, unveiled the red silk on the plaque above the pharmacy, and wrote the three words of Baicao Garden, and the handwriting was actually written by his father!
Zhu Di looked at Xu Miaoyi in a daze, and when Zhu Lu unveiled the red silk, he couldn't help but think about it, and substituted himself into it, and it was not the plaque that covered the red silk in the illusion, but Xu Miaoyi, she was wearing a phoenix crown and a xia veil, sitting under the happy tent of the dragon and phoenix......
From the site selection to the layout of the pharmacy, Zhu Di asked Xu Miaoyi to help facilitate it. Xu Zengshou always felt that Zhu Di's eyes were wrong when he looked at his sister-in-law, and sometimes he thought about it, according to Miaoyi's mind, she would not suffer, but Deng Ming's experience was a lesson from the past, Xu Zengshou was afraid that his sister would also fall into the Zhu family's calculations, as long as Xu Miaoyi and Zhu Di met, he would try his best to follow.
Zhu Di looked at Xu Miaoyi's distraction, and this qiē fell in Xu Zengshou's eyes, and he felt that King Yan had a bad intention. simply stepped forward and blocked Zhu Di's sight.
Zhu Di smiled coldly in his heart, Xu Ershao, your good days will soon come to an end.
When Xu Zengshou returned to Zhan Yuan, his father Xu Da called him to the study, "Clean up, from tomorrow onwards, go to Guozijian to study." ”
"What!" Xu Zengshou seemed to have been struck by lightning, "Daddy, I heard you right." I'm a descendant of a military general, what are I going to do in the country? I heard that the Guozijian is very strict, and he is locked up in it to study, and he is only allowed to bring a scholar to serve. I only have a half-month holiday! ”
Xu Dahu's eyes widened, "At this time, I remembered that I was the son of a military general?" Hurry up and get out of here to the country! This is the grace of the emperor, giving each military general's family with a knighthood a quota for the prison of the country. Your eldest brother is going to train in the camp and prepare to go to war, and you are the only male in the family, if you don't go, won't you live up to the emperor's grace? ”
Xu Zengshou shouted: "I'm not going!" My big sister can dress up as a man and take my name. Anyway, she had served in the army for her brother before. ”
"Bastard thing!" Xu Da scolded: "This time I went to study in the Guozi Prison, and each family sent their children to be prisoners. Who of them doesn't know you? How can you let your sister coax you to get through? Don't be verbose, hurry up and get me out to read 1
Guozijian is the highest institution of learning in a country. The new decree promulgated by Emperor Hongwu that military attachés above the earl level and civil officials above the second rank can be enshadowed as a prisoner and be exempted from the examination to enter the country.
The newly built Guozijian of the Ming Dynasty is located at the foot of Jiming Mountain, surrounded by a barren, all the military camps and the army's tuntian, behind which is the imperial tomb and the temple that are being built, and even the entire neighborhood is called Yinglingfang, which can be seen how desolate it is.
Emperor Hongwu felt that reading should be quiet and concentrated, so he built the Guozijian here. This is a bitter son of a wealthy family who is used to spending time drinking. Yesterday was still wandering in the boundless wind and moon of the Qinhuai River, and today I have to face the old-fashioned faces of the masters.
The Chang family of Kaiping Wangfu sent to study was the third master Chang Sen. Chang Sen was also reluctant, and the only consolation was that his good friend Xu Zengshou was also here.
When friends met, Xu Zengshou wanted to cry without tears, "God! Whose bad idea was it? ”
After all, Chang Sen is the prince's brother-in-law, well-informed, and said in a low voice: "I heard that it is the mention of Zhu Di, the king of Yan." ”
Xu Zengshou smelled a hint of conspiracy.
After solving Xu Zengshou's fart, he can finally get along alone with the person he likes. Zhu Di was refreshed, thinking that summer was coming, and he could take Xu Miaoyi to the lake to enjoy the new lotus, maybe there would be an opportunity to express his heartfelt feelings.
But then trouble came to the door.
The Liba Thorn bought by the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty came to the Zongren Mansion, arched his hand to Zhu Di, the right sect commander, and said: "I heard that your country believes in the legal system, and the prince violates the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people. I don't know if it's true or not? ”
Although the eight thorns he bought are young, they have a very good city, even when he was planning to kidnap Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, to escape, he also had a calm face like water, and he was not happy or angry.
Today's expression is solemn, and there seems to be an unconcealed anger between his eyebrows. What happened? Since the Zongren Mansion has been found, the offender must have something to do with the royal family.
The father and emperor ordered that the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty should be courteous, and no one should humiliate him, Zhu Di asked: "I don't know if the imperial brother and the prince have a misunderstanding?" ”
The eight thorns who bought it sneered: "I and several concubines followed Cao Guogong to Daming, and they were all guests of Daming. But you royalty insulted my mother-in-law as you did with a prostitute! Rape and insult guests, is this your Ming hospitality? ”
Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Cao, captured the prince during the Northern Expedition, and at the same time there was a group of concubines of Emperor Xuanguang.
Now something is wrong! Zhu Di's expression was solemn, "Who did it?" ”
The eight thorns that I bought said: "Zheng Guogong Changmao! ”
Zheng Guogong Chang Mao, the eldest son of the late Kaiping King Chang Yuchun, and the elder brother of the crown princess.
