Chapter 188: Tea Party
Dou Miaojing was surprised, Hanmo always had an ice face, and even the words that Fang had just told Taiyu were cold, like a lesson. But she could hear Hanmo's kindness, which was because she didn't want to leave an irreparable regret for Taiyu.
Before she could speak, Dou Zhan was anxious on the side: "How long do you have to raise this?" We may have to go to Ningbo in the near future. β
"This ......" Han Mo pinched the mustache that he had grown up with great difficulty, and frowned, "The old man advises you to dispel this idea, don't think about going out this month." β
Dou Miaojing saw the anger on Taiyu's face, and he was about to explode.
She hurriedly stepped forward and took over with a smile: "What Mr. Han reminds is that Uncle Yu can't make your own decisions, and it will be bitter when the time comes, but you will be yourself." β
"Jing'er?" Tan Taiyu looked aggrieved.
Dou Miaojing instructed Zhou Yunsheng: "Please ask Mr. Han to go down and entertain him." β
"Yes." Zhou Yunshang also saw that Han Mo and Yu Taiyu were not dealing with each other, and immediately led Han Mo down with a smile.
Han Mo is a clear person, how can he not have this kind of eye after following Zhu Jingyan for so many years? What's more, the life and death of Tan Taiyu has nothing to do with him, and it is useless to say more. With a flick of his sleeves, he resigned from Zhu Jingyan and went with Zhou Yunsheng.
Tan Taiyu clenched his fists, gave Dou Miaojing a look, and signaled that the matter of the Black Flag Alliance could not be delayed any longer.
But Dou Miaojing pretended not to understand, and pulled Dou Zhan's sleeve: "Let Uncle Yu have a good rest, let's go talk elsewhere." β
Dou Zhan pursed his lips, compared with going to Ningbo, it was naturally more important for Taiyu's body bones. What's more, the shares he bought in the downwind boat are only part of the financial resources in his hands, if they are really gone, they will be gone, and they can't fight with their lives - go to Ningbo to check the Black Flag League. It's a thing to put your head on your belt.
He glanced at Dou Miaojing twice, and then went out.
Zhu Jingyan's lowered gaze fell from Taiyu to Dou Zhan's back. The eldest man of the sixth room of the Dou family is a person who knows how to be at peace with what happens, and he is still a little frizzy, but at this moment he has calmed down under Dou Miaojing's words.
He smiled, took Dou Miaojing's hand and said, "Let's go." Let your Uncle Yu rest for a good life. β
The people in the big house all retreated in twos and threes. Yu Taiyu thumped the bed board in annoyance. That damn Hanmo, just when he was treating his wounds, clicked on his acupoint, and his whole body is numb now. Can't move. If he can move, how can he allow Zhu Jingyan to touch Jing'er.
Dou Miaojing gently broke away from Zhu Jingyan outside, caught up with Dou Zhan's footsteps, and led the two of them into the tea room to sit down. The benefits of being at the Grange are: Each room is very large, just this one tea room. It is about the same size as the inner room where Yunluju Dou Miaojing lives. The three of them took their seats, and the maids moved the burning stove with their hands and feet, put the copper kettle on the table, set up a set of tea sets, and silently withdrew.
Dou Zhan was a little surprised: "I didn't expect a short period of time. Girl, you actually train these country women so well. β
Dou Miaojing explained shyly: "It's Mama Liu who is well trained, how can I train people, I don't have any rules." He laughed. Gently and gently began to pluck the tea set.
The figure of the crane was fixed at the door, but did not come in. In the outer court, he said: "Second master, I have checked around, and there is no fish that have slipped through the net." β
Zhu Jingyan nodded, and Heming's figure disappeared in a flash.
This person turned out to be Zhu Jingyan's subordinate?
Dou Zhan was surprised. On that day in Yifengzhu, Heming fought with Yutaiyu, and he still felt that this person's kung fu was unfathomable, and he was a very remarkable person. Unexpectedly, it would be Zhu Jingyan's subordinates!
He couldn't help laughing: "The subordinates of the county prince are the ones who are really good at training." β
Dou Miaojing puffed out his cheeks and couldn't hold back a laugh, Uncle Zhan just hadn't seen Heming in front of the drizzle, right? Plain always looks like a good gentleman, and he is not soft at all on other people's hands, only for the drizzle, which is called a breeze and drizzle.
"What's wrong?" Is what he said funny? Dou Zhan was puzzled.
Dou Miaojing shook her head: "Heming is going to get married in a few days, do you want Uncle Zhan to come and have a glass of wine?" The bride was married from me. β
Dou Zhan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the purpose of this trip. As soon as he heard that Dou Miaojing was going to send off his relatives in the grange, he rushed over in a hurry. He had some doubts before, who could be married by Dou Miaojing's side? At this time, she is full of interest, which girl can marry such a master?
He hurriedly asked, "Is it Shaoyue?" I didn't listen to the wind on the silver screen, could it be Shaoyue? But it's not right to think about it, Shaoyue was still embarrassed just now, where is the appearance of being a bride. So he hurriedly changed his tone and said incredibly, "Do you want to marry the girl of the Zhou family?" How old is she...... "The hair hasn't grown."
Dou Miaojing suddenly gave him a roll of his eyes, this Uncle Zhan is really getting more and more improper, what he said: "It's drizzle, it's drizzle." You haven't seen it, it's not the maid next to me, it's the big maid next to Uncle Xing. β
Zhu Jingyan had already endured the pain in his liver, and as soon as Dou Miaojing said this, he laughed out loud with a "poof".
Dou Zhan scratched his head and arched his hand to Zhu Jingyan embarrassedly: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turned out to be a double happiness in the county prince's mansion, which is really gratifying." β
Zhu Jingyan hurriedly held his hand and said, "Brother Zhan is polite, if you don't dislike it, you can just come and drink a glass of wine that day." "Dou Zhan seems to be a good person, he likes it, and it doesn't hurt to make friends.
Dou Zhan couldn't imagine that Zhu Jingyan treated him so politely. Among the people he came into contact with, there were nothing more than officials and gentlemen on the white road, bandits on the black road who didn't care about their lives, and other people such as money laundering and underground money banks who did not enter the stream could not be on the stage at all. How could there ever be such a noble person as Zhu Jingyan who appeared by his side. It seems that the fragrance that the old lady burned for her father a day is not in vain, and my father blesses it.
He thought happily, answering faster, and nodded when he was busy: "I must come, I must come." β
Dou Miaojing smiled and said, "Uncle Zhan has to prepare a generous gift, I know that Uncle Zhan is very rich." β
Dou Zhan's eyes suddenly widened: "Little thing, just look at the little money in my pocket?" I've never seen you dig into your own corner like this. β
Zhu Jingyan secretly picked up the back of his hand to cover his mouth, and laughed happily.
Dou Miaojing gave Zhu Jingyan a look and signaled: Look, I have made money for Drizzle again.
The joke is over. Dou Miaojing made tea and poured a cup for both of them, and then began to talk about today's masked people.
Dou Zhan talked about business, but he was not ambiguous at all: "...... Does the prince of the county have eyebrows? β
Zhu Jingyan nodded slightly: "Yes, there is a little." β
"Oh?" Dou Zhan's eyes lit up, and the whole person leaned towards Zhu Jingyan.
Zhu Jingyan didn't move at all, and slowly took a sip of tea: "I have heard about Shaoyue, it seems that these people are here for Shaoyue and that servant, and. They know Miaojing. I know that this is the Dou family's grange. What does Brother Zhan think? β
"Is Chen Jichang really back?" Dou Zhan still didn't believe it, the Beijing official left the capital without permission, it was a crime for the whole clan. Chen Jichang's courage is too big, right? What's moreβhe frowned, "Those people are the dead soldiers raised by Chen Jichang?" "It's incredible.
Although raising the dead is a secret that everyone knows in the capital, like the Chen family, even if there are dozens of people and even a Taifu family. It is also impossible to raise these people without fear of death. One, you don't need it. Second, it is very likely that he will be impeached by political opponents. Why did Chen Jichang take such a risk?
Besides, the Chen family is already a famous family, why did he bother?
Dou Zhan couldn't figure it out, but Zhu Jingyan knew it.
The reason why Chen Jichang dared to take risks was mostly because he knew that this was about to change.
He suddenly lowered his eyelids with some sadness. He drank the tea in his hand and didn't want to speak for a while.
Dou Zhan looked at Zhu Jingyan and saw that his face was a little bad. Unconsciously asked: "Lord Jun?" "What's wrong? This Zhu Jingyan's temper is even more eccentric than himself.
Chen Jichang was able to leave the capital at the feet of the Son of Heaven and sneak into Lin'an. This is the lack of governance in my Zhu family, and I am deeply ashamed as the eldest grandson of the Zhu family. Zhu Jingyan said slowly.
Dou Miaojing and Dou Zhan were both startled. Especially Dou Zhan, after carefully observing Zhu Jingyan's expression, he confirmed that he was not joking.
He suddenly stood up and walked to the side, kneeling down towards Dou Zhan: "Why should the prince of the county be arrogant, the saint has a way to govern the world, and the country and the people have been safe for many years, how can there be anything missing?" A country is naturally not perfect, of course, a court will have a distinction between a courtier and a traitor, if there are only ministers in the world, then how can there be criticism? If there are only traitors, the kingdom will surely perish. The grass people have an ugly opinion, but every sentence is heartfelt, and the prince of the county is clear. β
Uncle Zhan seems to be a little too serious, right? She had never knelt down for Zhu Jingyan.
Dou Miaojing thought silently, but according to the courtesy, Zhu Jingyan is the emperor's grandson, and it is understandable to kneel down, but he is used to being casual in front of him. Since Dou Zhan is her elder, naturally she has to kneel down. So he also stepped aside, and was about to bend his knees, but was supported by Zhu Jingyan halfway.
His expression was solemn, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was anger or helplessness, or disgust?
Dou Miaojing had no bottom in her heart.
"Get up." Zhu Jingyan's face was heavy, and he flicked his sleeves to let Dou Zhan get up,
Dou Zhan raised his head, and when he saw Zhu Jingyan supporting Dou Miaojing, he felt relieved, so he got up and patted the dust on his body, and arched his hand and said, "See you laugh." But the number of gifts is not ......."
Zhu Jingyan nodded silently: "Sit down." β
Dou Zhan sat down and glared at Dou Miaojing by the way.
Well, it's really a woman who is outgoing, and she knows how old she is to run away with outsiders. He's already kneeling on the ground as an uncle, how dare you stand? Dou Zhan snorted angrily in his heart.
After Zhu Jingyan sat down, the sorrow on his eyebrows still did not dissipate. He sighed softly, and there was little confusion in the smoke: "What Brother Zhan said does have some truth, but it is not a few words of truth to settle the country. There are many people like Chen Jichang, who are the pillars of the country but still do disloyal and unrighteous things. Get rid of one Chen Jichang, and the next one, when will it be the head? This is still in the capital, where the people in front of the eyes can't see it? All over the state, the county, the other? What's more, there are disloyal ministers, and the royal family is not much better. β
As soon as his words fell, Dou Zhan suddenly beat a drum in his heart.
Looking at today's Zhu royal family, because the harem has been tightened since the first emperor, so now the saint is here, and the personnel have withered. Zhu Jingyan's generation doesn't even have a brother, only a sister who is married far away, Princess Yunchang. His sigh of emotion was obviously directed at the fourth son of the saint, his fourth emperor uncle Zhu Qingzhong.
If these words are answered, won't it imply that Zhu Qing has the intention of usurping the throne? Although this matter is tacitly known to everyone, he is a businessman in the grass Min'an branch, and he has nothing to do to cause major affairs in the government when he is full.
He looked at Zhu Jingyan in amazement and said nothing.
Zhu Jingyan smiled and shook his head in his heart, this Dou Zhan is really a businessman, he is really shrewd.
But Dou Miaojing has been looking for clues about the four princes in his mind. In her previous life, she had never heard of the fourth prince's attempt to usurp the throne? But it's also, it's a royal scandal, and it's normal that it hasn't spread. But there are always signs that people can detect, right? How did the Four Princes end?
She thought intently, and was suddenly stunned, and her whole back tightened.
Soon after the death of the crown prince, the saint launched a huge change in the imperial court, first sending out the greedy Shangshu Sun Wenqian, and then taking over the military power of Yu Guogong, the general stationed in Liaodong, and then vacating the power of the six ministries, but helping a group of Qingtouleng of the Hanlin Academy to form a cabinet of scholars.
The reason why she knows these things is naturally because of Chen Yu's relationship. Chen Jichang was also hit hard in this change, and he almost became a waste man who had no power to eat the emperor's grain.
The fourth son of the emperor was named the king of Liaodong because of Yu Guogong's return to Beijing, and was ordered to garrison Liaodong, but died on the way to the domain.
Thinking about this series, I originally thought it was just the technique of the emperor of the imperial court, but now I know that it is not so simple. If all this is planned, strategic, and purposeful, then the Holy One is really a thunderbolt means.
A year after the fourth son of the emperor, Zhu Jingyan was made the emperor's grandson, as if everyone was looking forward to it.
In a few years, the crown prince will be gone......
Dou Miaojing's eyes were wet, and at that time, Zhu Jingyan would leave Lin'an. He will move towards the imperial power, getting closer and closer, and getting cold-blooded as he goes.
And the Dou family, who was involved that he exterminated the clan?
She frantically stood up and accidentally knocked over the tea in her hand.
"Girl?" Zhu Jingyan frowned, "What's wrong with you?" As he spoke, he seemed to consciously want to shake her hand.
Dou Miaojing subconsciously dodged away, squeezed out a smile and said, "I...... I just remembered something important. Uncle Zhan, you accompany the prince of the county, I will come when I go. With that, Ying Ying Fu left the tea room as if he were running away.
Dou Zhan couldn't help muttering: "A girl who used to be quite quiet and gentle, how can she be shocked now." β
"Miaojing her, what's wrong?" Zhu Jingyan seemed to ask himself. He always didn't understand this girl, he was smart and stupid, he couldn't hide anything from her when he did anything, and he was always teased by himself. But seeing her absent-minded and even a little sad in her eyes, he was unhappy in his heart.
If you have anything to say, just say it to him!
He waited, waited, waited, never waited. (To be continued)
