41. Chapter 41
Since the imperial examination, Lou Zishang and Lou Zize can be said to be worlds apart, before Lou Zize was out of the limelight, at this time...... When the big family in Beijing saw Mrs. Lin, who didn't praise Lou Zi's clothes and talked endlessly, whether it was sincere or for Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin was very angry in her heart.
Lou Zize entered the Ministry of Engineering with the support of Lou Rui, which is said to be a good errand, and the Lou family of the Ministry of War can't get involved, but if it is done well in the Ministry of Industry, the future is bright, after all, ...... He is also boiling, with Lou Rui covering him, after all, this is Lou Rui's son who has loved him for many years, and Lou Rui is willing to give up on him as a last resort.
Lou Rui privately taught Lou Zize a lot of teachings, asking for brothers, friends and brothers, this son has always reassured him, although he is a little selfish, but Lou Rui feels that this is not a big deal.
How did he know that Lou Zize deserved it well on his face, and he had already hated Lou Zishang completely in his heart, and at this moment, he was even more angry when he learned that his mother actually let him please Lou Zisheng, and said angrily, "Mother, what's the matter with you?" I'm already patient if I don't trouble him, you, you let me please him! I am your son! ”
Mrs. Lin sighed, patted his hand pityingly and said, "Don't worry, it's just a temporary measure, and ...... I'll get it back for you. ”
Lou Zize was upset, Mrs. Lin was very distressed, and frowned, "Don't you want to marry Lord Heshan?" As long as you marry the lord of Heshan, then our family ......"
"Of course I do!" Lou Zize sighed dejectedly, "I mentioned it to my father before, and if my father didn't want to think about it, let me dispel this thought, what can I do?" ”
Madam Lin smiled and patted his means and said, "Don't you still have a high priest brother?" I heard that he is coming back today, and you think of him as a mother. ”
As soon as Lou Rui and Lou Zishang got off the sedan chair, Mrs. Lin greeted her with a smile, and said to Lou Zishang thoughtfully, even more like not asking for money, Lou Zishang smiled and listened, and replied from time to time, facing the family, there was no high priest's shelf, Mrs. Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Lou Rui was a little impatient and said, "Women, why is there so much nonsense?!" ”
Mrs. Lin choked up, looked at him aggrievedly, Mrs. Shuo walked over with a chuckle, "The master is back......" said with a slight pause, "Priest ......"
Lou Zishang shook his head and chuckled, and said softly, "Madame doesn't have to be polite, call me Zishang just me, we are a family." ”
This woman, who is extremely similar to her original mother, has always been full of etiquette, and she will not be troubled, Lou Zishang thought of something, and glanced at her lightly.
Lou Rui laughed, "What Zishang said is very true, Shuo'er doesn't need to be polite." ”
Mrs. Shuo is very heartfelt, listen to this title...... Lou Zishang smiled and didn't say a word, Lou Rui was afraid that he had forgotten the meaning of the name he gave to Mrs. Shuo at that time, and he also forgot the county lord of Heshuo, and only mentioned that woman when he needed to use him.
Mrs. Lin wanted to pull Lou Zishang to say something, but she saw Mrs. Shuo smile gently, "Sister, it's better to go with me to boil some mung bean soup, the weather is hot, presumably the old man and Zishang are not as comfortable as before, men have their own things to talk about, let's not bother them." ”
Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth with hatred, this slut, as long as it was Ze'er's business, she would have to intervene, but ...... She smiled and said, "It's me who didn't think about it, but my sister reminded me, sir, you can rest, it's good to call a concubine if you have something." ”
Lou Rui waved her hand and patted Mrs. Shuo's arm gently, and Lou Zi was clear...... Obviously, during this time, Mrs. Shuo took almost all of Lou Rui's favors, but it's a pity...... They don't have children......
He glanced at Mrs. Shuo playfully, and Mrs. Shuo chuckled in her heart, smiled softly at him, and went to go.
When the study door was closed, Rui asked unceremoniously, "How have you been with King Su recently?" ”
Lou Zishang smiled, sighed and said, "King Su treats me very well. ”
Lou Rui nodded with satisfaction, and after a while, he said solemnly, "Don't ask people to give you a piece of candy and follow, remember who you are!" ”
If he wants to follow the power owl, does he still need sugar? Lou Zishang sighed, and said with a straight face, "Father, although you can rest assured, Zishang can't forget your teachings." ”
The two went back and forth, Lou Rui was quite satisfied, this son did not disobey discipline because he became a priest, and he didn't have much outside the heart, he walked to the front of the case, and casually flipped through the book, "Has King Su ever mentioned marriage to you?" He...... Have you ever said what you mean by Lord Heshan? ”
Lou Zishang walked to him with a smile, and also took a miscellaneous book casually and said, "King Su is nothing, you know, he has been out for so many years, and he has always been uninhibited, but Concubine Rong is ...... I'm afraid that you are going to use some means, you have to remind His Royal Highness King Kang to take precautions, after all, ...... You know how important a girl's reputation and innocence are. ”
Lou Rui was stunned when she heard this, and said lightly, "Do you know what Concubine Rong's specific plan is?" ”
Lou Zishang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "King Su has always been filial, no matter how close he is to me, he is just wooing, then Mifu and Yuande ......" He sighed, "I can't wait to monitor me for twelve hours, it's not bad to be able to tell me this, I am from our Lou family...... He guarded against it, not to mention about his mother, how could he tell me so much. ”
Lou Rui was relieved when he heard this, if Lou Zishang knew this matter in too much detail, then it would be worth thinking again, he patted Lou Zishang on the shoulder and praised, "It's good to be able to do this, it's not easy for you on King Su's side, but my father forgot to ask you, when did you get in touch with Daxiangguo Temple?" ”
It's not a bad thing, but it's a little beyond Lou Rui's control.
Lou Zishang smiled, when can he wait for Lou Rui, "Father still remembers that his son prayed for his mother, and that was ...... at that time"
Lou Rui raised his eyes to look at him, and Lou Zishang said a little embarrassed, "At that time, I didn't know the identity of Master Tanyin, and those things were very interesting...... I followed along, where did I think of ......"
Lou Rui nodded after a while, I don't know whether she believed it or not, but she didn't say anything more, Lou Zishang said with a solemn face, "Father, if I remember correctly, my eldest brother's birthday is ...... When the end of the year of Gengyin Ding Mao Yue B Ding Chou? ”
His face was too solemn, and Lou Rui couldn't help frowning, "That's right, what's the matter?" ”
"Father, you know the birthday of Lord Heshan." Lou Zishang sighed and said, "Lord Heshan and eldest brother...... The eight characters of the birthday are ...... together."
Lou Zishang suddenly said in a deep voice, "Feng Hou pays respects!" Guangzong Yaozu, Qin Se and Ming, a natural pair! ”
Lou Rui's eyes widened suddenly, and after a while, she said slowly, "This kind of thing...... Don't talk nonsense! ”
"If I'm not sure, I'll come back and lie to you? Something went wrong with the Lou family...... It's not half a good thing for Zishang. ”
"Are you sure?" , Lou Rui was greatly moved, and the marquis paid homage to the prime minister...... In his life, he only sent the marquis, "your divination technique ......"
"Don't hide it from your father." Lou Zishang said, "Although Zishang doesn't dare to say that his skills are superb now, Master Tanyin has taught me a lot, and Master Feng ...... The Dharma was taught to me that morning, maybe ......"
Lou Zisheng's eyes were suddenly red, and the sadness in his eyes couldn't be concealed, "He has long expected his fate, so he will pass on the throne so hurriedly and ...... so much."
Lou Rui closed his eyes when he heard this, maybe that's the case, otherwise Feng Jia had lived for so many years, and suddenly the priesthood was indeed in a hurry, and he had an accident that night, Lou Rui was almost convinced of this explanation, after all, Feng Jia didn't want to do it...... He didn't feel like anyone was pushing him.
Case...... Lou Rui was still a little puzzled, "Is it really such a fateful character?" Didn't Mrs. Lin ask you for something? ”
Lou Zishang smiled, "Although my aunt is sometimes a little more powerful, you also know that she is a knife mouth tofu heart, and it is very good not to say anything to Zishang, you see, since she came back to the present, how can she have time to talk to me." ”
This is not very good, but it seems to be true, if Lou Zishang said that Mrs. Lin is good at this time, then Lou Rui really has to doubt it, but when he said this, Lou Rui was suddenly overjoyed, "Okay, good, it's not in vain that my father has raised you for so many years, our Lou family ......"
He closed his eyes, and after a moment, he raised his voice and said, "Butler, call the eldest young master over." ”
Lou Zize was a little puzzled, but when he knew that Lou Rui agreed to his request to marry the county lord, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, Lou Zishang smiled and said, "Big brother should do his best, good things are close at hand." ”
"Ze'er, Zishang is right." Lou Rui said comfortably, "You don't have a wife now, and Zishang has no possibility of marrying a wife, you are the hope of our Lou family." ”
Lou Zize didn't know why, but he was smart and didn't ask, Lou Zishang helped him, he didn't believe that Lou Zishang had any good intentions, but ...... It is enough to achieve the goal.
Lou Zishang looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "The emperor will not object to this marriage, my father might as well go and ask for a holy decree, and the eldest brother has a matter on his mind." ”
Lou Rui took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Don't worry, the holy decree will be said tomorrow, Ze'er, let your mother enter the palace later, she hasn't been looking for a virtuous concubine for a long time to catch up, presumably there are women who have a lot of things to say." ”
Lou Zize almost agreed, and retreated happily. Lou Zishang seemed to be puzzled, "Why is my father like this?" ”
"You!" Lou Rui was in a good mood, and explained to him rarely, "The emperor has been very worried about the prince's affairs recently, whether it is King Su or King Kang marrying ...... Presumably they won't be satisfied, unless it's King Huan or other children of the family. ”
Lou Zishang continued, "But King Huan's appearance, the prince of the southwest will follow him, and he will never let his sister ......."
"Hahaha, yes." Lou Rui said unhurriedly, "This is a matter of face in the southwest, so there are only children of the family, but the emperor has always disliked King Su...... I will definitely not let King Su succeed in marrying a family, so ...... It's a surefire thing, but you can't rush it. ”
Lou Zishang's eyes lit up, and he said a little arrogantly, "The eldest brother is also worthy of the lord of Heshan, our Lou family has two sons, Zishang can't marry a wife, and he can't wronged the eldest brother." ”
Yes, Lou Zishang is the high priest, this marriage, the emperor will not refuse, Lou Rui smiled like an old fox, he is not in a hurry, he is not in a hurry, no one can compete with their Lou family this time.
Lou Zishang retreated from the study, Mi Fu and Yuan De followed closely behind, turned around and glanced at the study lightly, making people unable to see clearly, and went back to the place where he used to live, and happened to see Mrs. Shuo on the way, only to see her face was pale, Mrs. Lin was like a hen that had just laid eggs, and she couldn't wait to cluck a few times.
