Chapter 165

The Zhu family has very strict rules, and the children must go to their parents to say hello first after they get up. Because Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu don't live together, so after everyone first asked Mrs. Zhu to say goodbye in Mrs. Zhu's main room, Mrs. Zhu said, "Girls, talk to me, eldest and sixth, you take your children to greet Mrs. Zhu." ”

Uncle Zhu and Uncle Zhu took their children and grandchildren to Liufang Courtyard, where Mrs. Zhu lived.

Mrs. Zhu has always been cold to his children and grandchildren, and when he is too lazy to see people, he is not very happy when he sees them, so he waved his hand and said, "Didn't I tell you that I don't want to ask for peace." ”

Uncle Zhu smiled, "My son has not been able to fulfill his filial piety under his father's knees for many years, and now that he is back, he can't wait to serve his father every day." ”

"Then it annoys me." Mrs. Zhu has a bit of a choking ability. Fortunately, as Mrs. Zhu's sons, they all have a strong heart, Uncle Zhu only smiled and said nothing, Mrs. Zhu said, "Ming'er doesn't need to come, go to your mother's place and call Miss Qing over to have breakfast with me by the way." "Send away a bunch of children and grandchildren.

Zhao Changqing, Zhao Rong, Zhu Ling, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Chan were talking with Mrs. Zhu, and Mrs. Zhao looked at Zhao Changqing with a smile, "I heard Yahuan come in in the morning and say, you came to say hello last night." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I came a little late, although the door of the old ancestor courtyard has not been closed, I asked the mother-in-law outside and said that the old ancestor had been freshened up, thinking that he was ready to rest, so he didn't disturb the old ancestor." ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "It's night, but it's okay not to come." There are only a few people in the family, and there are no rules to talk about. The grandfather has a strange temper, and he likes to take whoever he sees with him. If you honor your grandfather, I will be happy. ”

Zhu Ling touched Zhao Changqing's face and joked, "This girl is blessed, like us, she has a filial heart, and she doesn't fall into the eyes of the master." Good sister, you can take our share to honor the grandfather together. ”

Yuan laughed, "You are playing tricks on your sister again." ”

Mrs. Zhu Liu smiled at Mrs. Zhu and said, "Changqing, this kid, has been extremely clever since he was a child. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Maybe it's a fool who has a fool's luck." ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and the men came back from the courtyard, except for Mrs. Zhu, the women all stood up, and Mrs. Zhu asked, "How is the master?" ”

Uncle Zhu said with a smile, "My father has a very good complexion, and he said that he would exempt his sons from asking for peace in the future, and he also said that he would ask Changqing to come over and have breakfast together." ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled at Zhao Changqing and said, "Then you can go." ”

Zhao Changqing saluted, and then took Yahuan to Mrs. Zhu's courtyard.

Everyone else thinks that Mrs. Zhu has a strange temper, but Zhao Changqing likes to talk and play with Mrs. Zhu, the two listen to operas and music together, silk and bamboo orchestras, eat, drink and have fun, and they are very happy.

Mrs. Zhu is very particular, the water used every day is the spring water drawn by the servants who go to the spring of Wanmei Temple early in the morning, and the water for boiling tea is held in jade pots. Zhao Changqing asked, "Master, is there anything special about this?" ”

Mrs. Zhu said, "Jade is a spiritual thing, and the spring water in the mountains carries the aura of the mountain, and it can be preserved with jade, so that the taste can not be lost." ”

Zhao Changqing didn't believe it, but Mrs. Zhu had his own crooked reasoning, and laughed, "Don't believe it, when people die, they use jade to plug the nine orifices, why don't you use gold, silver, and jade?" ”

Zhao Changqing said in his heart, after I died in my last life, no one would be willing to give me the jade plug nine orifices, but I had this adventure. Zhao Changqing said, "After a person dies, everything is over, and it has little to do with whether jade is jade or not." Even if jade is really spiritual, it can't care if the soul is not dispersed, and people will still be reincarnated after all. As for whether it is a good person or an ordinary person, it depends on the merits of this person before his death. ”

Seeing that Zhao Changqing was serious, Mrs. Zhu couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that you want to accumulate great merit by opening a pharmacy to sit in a medicine shop for diagnosis and treatment." ”

"I dare not say great merits, but it is always a good thing to cure the sick and save people, and it is better to do good deeds than to do bad deeds."

Yahuan held two cups of milk tea, Zhao Changqing first took one and gave it to Mrs. Zhu, and took the other one himself, taking a sip, the mellow milk and the fragrance of the tea brought an excellent taste. Mrs. Zhu said, "Most people in this world deceive the good and fear the evil, and it is better to do bad things, but it is difficult to do good things." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I'm not afraid." ”

Mrs. Zhu asked curiously, "I heard that you easily smashed two stone lions into the bluestone slab, is it true?" ”

Zhao Changqing was a little embarrassed, she didn't like to show off, but this world was too difficult. Mrs. Zhu looked sorry, "You have such peerless martial arts, Zhu Zhuang is looking for death like that, why don't you slap him to death?" ”

Zhao Changqing stared at Mrs. Zhu without speaking, and Mrs. Zhu said, "See what I do?" ”

"See if you're sarcastic about me."

Mrs. Zhu laughed loudly, pulled Zhao Changqing and said, "Let's go, let's go around the garden." ”

Liufang Courtyard is very spacious, with a serious four-into large courtyard, with its own garden rockery and flowing water pond spring. Mrs. Zhu said, "Do you know the origin of this courtyard?" ”

Zhao Changqing shook his head, "Master, this yard is quite spacious, the house is simple, and this garden can also be seen to be a garden that has been raised for many years." "An old house is not the same as a new one.

Mrs. Zhu nodded, "Liufangyuan was the ancestral home of the Zhu family in the past, and then after the family gradually developed, I bought a few neighboring houses, which is today's Zhu family." Mrs. Zhu looked at the grass and trees in the garden and said, "The rise and fall of the family is like this." The gentleman's Ze has been beheaded for five generations, not to mention people like the Zhu family. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "The eldest uncle is a three-grade household servant, how many people can compare?" What's more, there are many children of the Zhu family who are officials outside, and they can be regarded as first-class scholars. ”

Mrs. Zhu waved his hand, bypassed the rockery, turned around and sat down in a hexagonal pavilion, and Zhao Changqing also sat with him. Mrs. Zhu asked, "Do you know about Empress Song?" ”

Zhao Changqing said, "I only know a little, but I don't know much." ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "Slippery, don't you know that Queen Song can go to the business of spice powder with Shopkeeper Li?" ”

Unexpectedly, the grandfather was so well-informed, Zhao Changqing said with a smile, "If you want to say that I deliberately went to take the line of Shopkeeper Li, the grandfather will promote me." How can I be? Speaking of which, it is a matter of fate. ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "I believe this." ”

"Queen Song is the eldest daughter of Song Rong, the former household servant, Song Rong, the eldest daughter of Lord Song, the Song family came from a humble background, and all the family farmed, I only heard that Song Rong's father was a showman, and there was no other other family member. The Song family is two brothers, and Song Rong also has a younger brother named Song Yao, who is now an official on the southeast coast. Mrs. Zhu talked to Zhao Changqing about the Song family in great detail, and said, "Song Rong was originally a direct subordinate to Xie Yuan, and when he went to the imperial capital to take the exam, he was selected by the Marquis of Wu'an, and he was allowed to be a concubine, and this Yuan wife is the biological mother of Queen Song." Empress Song also has an aunt who is married to Ning Anhou. Empress Song's brother-in-law married Miss Qi Guo's Mansion. Therefore, the Song family came from a mediocre background, but the in-laws were all noble, which was really extraordinary. ”

"Song Rong is only forty people now, but when he was in his early thirties, he was already a household servant. At first, your eldest uncle was steadily suppressed by Song Rong before he became a scholar, this person was born in the first place, and won the emperor's heart, although I have never seen it, but it must not be an ordinary person, otherwise I can't teach a daughter like Queen Song. Mrs. Zhu said softly, "Queen Song was promised by Song Rong to Wu Shuang, the champion of literature, when she was young, but the family affair was not successful, and the Wu brothers colluded with the four princes to rebel, and later the Wu brothers fled to Xiban with the four princes. It was when you were in the border city that your father saved Queen Song, and Queen Song was not a queen at that time, but just a courtier. ”

"It stands to reason that the Song family and the Wu family had a family affair, how to tear it apart, but Song Shilang had the merit of saving the Wu family brothers and the four princes when they forced the palace, and the Song family was knighted because of this matter. Then, Song Rong's second daughter entered the palace because of the draft and was named Concubine De. Concubine De has given birth to a prince. In that draft, Queen Song was exempted from the draft due to a leg injury. Later, the queen mother in the palace gave her marriage to her nephew Fang Liang, Fang Liang was a muddy person, Queen Song lived in Fang's house for three days, and she turned her face with the Cheng'en Mansion before she had a round house, and moved to the mountain courtyard. Then, she found a house at the foot of the mountain to make a academy, no one had to pay money, she studied for free, and invited Xiucai to be a teacher. A year later, she had an affair with Her Majesty in another courtyard, and then conceived a dragon heir. "There are some vicissitudes of life in the beautiful peach blossom eyes of Mrs. Zhu, "In terms of generation, Empress Song was originally the cousin and daughter-in-law of Her Majesty's relatives, and the ministers headed by Peng Xiang in the court fiercely opposed this matter, and the harem was headed by Empress Dowager Fang, all of whom opposed Empress Song's entry into the palace. His Majesty insisted on it, and later the ministers and the queen mother thought of taking a step back and planning for the emperor's heir, even if they entered the palace, they couldn't stand as queens. They are willing to accept the position of imperial concubine, and they cannot sit idly by and watch the Empress Song be registered in the palace. ”

"However, Queen Song has this kind of ability, Her Majesty is bent on going her own way, and finally established her as the queen of the middle palace, and now, Queen Song has given birth to a dragon and phoenix." Mrs. Zhu looked at Zhao Changqing, "Although Empress Song is willing to be the queen of the middle palace, but, according to my speculation, the queen mother has always disliked Empress Song. Queen Song has now left the palace to pray for the queen mother and lived in the nunnery of the eldest princess of Lao Mei. ”

Mrs. Zhu asked curiously, "You went to take Queen Song's ship by chance, aren't you afraid that Queen Song's ship will sink?" ”

Zhao Changqing thought for a while and said, "Queen Song is pregnant outside the palace, and she can give birth to the prince and princess safely, but she is not an incompetent person. What's more, the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang have always been auspicious, as long as the prince grows up safely, Queen Song will be a proper winner. ”

"What if?"

Zhao Changqing's face changed slightly when he was frightened by this, and Mrs. Zhu smiled, "Don't worry, I still have something to say here." ”

Zhao Changqing pondered for a moment, "Has the master read the history of the Dafeng Dynasty Empress Dowager Wei Benji?" "Empress Dowager Wei is also a cattle, her husband is a vassal king, but, Empress Dowager Wei has a very capable son, Emperor Fengwu. Emperor Fengwu is simply a strange person in the history of emperors, and his throne was inherited from his uncle, Emperor Fengjing. During the reign of Emperor Jing, the princes passed away for some reason, leaving the emperor's grandson still young, and Emperor Jing passed the throne to Emperor Fengwu in his prime, and he went to live in Yungui with the younger brother of the vassal king. It is also for this reason that there are many different versions of the legend of Emperor Fengwu's succession, and the conspirators' statements are often biased towards the interpretation that 'Emperor Jing was forced to abdicate, and Emperor Wu succeeded lightly'. However, this argument is untenable, because Emperor Fengwu said in front of his ministers at the beginning of his succession that for the sake of the royal inheritance, he would not leave an heir, and he would be in charge of the government for twenty years at most. Later, Emperor Fengwu really abdicated after twenty years, and he had no heirs for life. This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Fengwu is admired by the world, this person is extremely noble in morality.

Emperor Fengwu is the founder of the 600-year prosperous era of the Great Feng Dynasty, and has countless reputations before and after his death. It is the founding of Dongmu and Emperor Zu who both said that "for the emperor should be for Emperor Fengwu", which shows the respect for Emperor Fengwu.

Emperor Fengwu is a cow, and the woman who can give birth to Emperor Fengwu is certainly not a mortal.

Empress Dowager Wei came to the imperial capital from the Yungui domain at the beginning of Emperor Fengwu's accession to the throne, and was promoted from the princess to the empress dowager. During the twenty years of Emperor Fengwu's reign, Empress Dowager Wei was not obviously involved in politics, but after Emperor Fengwu abdicated, Emperor Sun Wen, Emperor Zejing, succeeded to the throne. Emperor Wen reigned for only five years before dying violently.

As for the cause of Emperor Wen's death, there are even more opinions.

Zhao Changqing is not a historian, and he is not interested in researching history. It's just that after the death of Emperor Wen, the Dafeng Dynasty began the twenty-year regent of the Empress Dowager Wei, until the death of the Empress Dowager Wei, the government of the Dafeng Dynasty has always been firmly in the hands of the Empress Dowager Wei. At that time, after the abdication of Emperor Fengwu, the parent and child, traveled all over the world and disappeared. Because Emperor Fengwu did not leave an heir, there was no prince or grandson in the court who was related to Emperor Fengwu. However, for a capable woman, she has her own corresponding position, holds power, and still rules the world!

Compared with Empress Song and Empress Dowager Wei, it may not be a little appropriate. However, Queen Song is undoubtedly also a capable person, such a lonely and unpredictable road, even if she is half a point weak, how can she be in the middle palace?

Empress Song may be weak now, but even if she is like Empress Dowager Wei, if she does not have many years of accumulation, will she be able to regent the world after the death of Emperor Wen?

Who can see the future?

When she first took the line of shopkeeper Li, Zhao Changqing didn't know these general trends in the DPRK and China, but now that she knows, she has no regrets or wavering.

Mrs. Zhu approvingly, "Your mentality is comparable to that of the central government." ”

Zhao Changqing said, "If I have any knowledge, I just said it casually." ”

Mrs. Zhu scoffed, "Hypocrisy." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Okay, I think, but most of the roads of the strong are lonely." Mortals do not see their minds, nor do they understand their minds. ”

"There's something to be said about that." Mrs. Zhu asked her, "Then do you see what your eldest uncle means?" ”

Zhao Changqing is such a smart person, he said, "I can't see it, the master might as well sue me directly." ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled, disagreed, and sighed again, "In my life, I have ten sons and five daughters, and hundreds of grandchildren, but unfortunately they are all mediocre people." As long as I eat, drink, and have fun, I don't bother to pay attention to them. I remember when you were a child, we met by chance, and I saw that you were young but clever and cute, so I gave you a piece of jade. Since then, every year on my birthday, you will do needlework to honor me. ”

"You children have a child's way to go, and I don't have much to say as an old man. It's just that I'm a little worried about you, so Fang called you over. Mrs. Zhu said, "It's still the same sentence, Zhu Zhuang is rude to you, why don't you smoke him to death?" ”

"I know, you are in the way of the Zhu family, so you have no choice but to do it." Mrs. Zhu said softly, "This is understandable, it is inferior to others, so I can only endure it." Just like the Liu family at the beginning. ”

"Whether it is the Liu family or the Zhu family, in fact, there is no difference, and the battle is bullying. In the future, after you get ahead, don't do this. There was a slight pity in Mrs. Zhu's eyes, "Chu Yu's matter hurts you very deeply." ”

Zhao Changqing thinks that she is not a fragile person, but for some reason, when Mrs. Zhu mentioned Chu Yu with such cherished eyes, her heart suddenly soured, and a light flashed in her eyes, and she wanted to deny that she couldn't say those pretentious words, so she had to purse her lips and say nothing.

Mrs. Zhu said, "In the past, no one knew that you had such peerless martial arts, but since the incident of the Liu family, you are no longer taboo to subdue people with martial arts." Having martial arts is not a bad thing, not to mention martial arts like yours, even if you are a martial arts wizard, at your age, it is not easy to have such martial arts. I wondered if you might have some adventures. ”

"Let's talk about Zhu Zhuang's affairs, since he is looking for death, you should fulfill him. However, the method is not used well, you are a girl in the boudoir, why do you have to come forward yourself? Even if there are many grievances, tell your father and ask your father to come over to theorize, Zhu Zhuang has no good fruit to eat. It's the Yang family, and the patriarch came forward, what do you think happened to the Yang family? Mrs. Zhu's voice was gentle, "When I was young, I also had a favorite person until death, but I was not as lucky as you, and I was finally let down." At that time, I really felt that my heart was full of violence and injustice, and I felt how unfair the sky was. Later, when I got older, I became peaceful. A few years ago, when I heard about your relationship with the Chu family, I was happy for you, thinking that a girl like you should have such a good marriage. The Chu family is noble, and Chu Yu spent a lot of effort to be able to willingly marry this family affair, right? ”

"Because I didn't hear a word about you outside at the time, I think that the kid is really a caring person, he understands that if he really likes someone, he must cherish this person, so he is so attentive that he will not let you suffer the slightest grievance."

Hearing this, Zhao Changqing clenched her teeth tightly, which made her chin and cheeks stretch a hard line, her breathing was short, and her eyes were not moist.

Mrs. Zhu said, "He cherishes you so much, you should also cherish yourself." Stop doing the stupid thing of 'killing 800 enemies and destroying 1,000 yourself'. You're good, people who care about you are good. You have a bad one, so those villains laughed. ”

Zhao Changqing said softly, "I just feel that the sky is too unfair." ”

Mrs. Zhu coaxed her, "You haven't seen me when I was young, it was really called a country and a city, and the elegance was peerless, if I was born as a daughter, I would definitely be a generation of enchantresses!" A man like me, who is both wise and beautiful, has been kicked away, who to reason with? "Stuff Zhao Changqing with a handkerchief.

Zhao Changqing wiped away his tears and said, "How can that kind of ruthless and unrighteous person compare with Brother Chu." ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "Yes, what I like is ruthless and unjust." ”

Zhao Changqing knew that Mrs. Zhu was kind, persuaded her to say these words for her good, and coaxed her to be happy and comforted her, she has always been considerate, and choked up, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

"I've always been relieved, but I'm worried that you've treated yourself badly." Suddenly, he lost his love, and more people gave up on themselves, taking revenge on the world and themselves, Zhao Changqing was able to open a pharmacy to practice medicine to save people, accumulate virtue and do good, it is not easy. Mrs. Zhu said to Zhao Changqing, "People like us, who are both beautiful and not lacking in wisdom, are still jealous of talents, so they will inevitably be unlucky." When you're my age, there's nothing you can't see. ”

After Zhao Changqing cried, Mrs. Zhu took her to wash her face, and muttered vigorously, "If it's winter, you have to lose your face?" "Tell Yahuan," warm the milk and put it on Changqing's face. ”

Zhao Changqing hurriedly said, "I'm not so delicate." "What a waste.

"It's a shame that you still sell rouge gouache, and if you don't take care of it while you're young, you'll be a yellow-faced woman in a few years." Mrs. Zhu said, "Back then, the Tang Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Immortals often used this recipe to cover their faces, and I heard that the Tang Immortals were still white and beautiful in their bones, which attracted the amazement of the world. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Isn't it because Tang Immortal practiced the art of immortals?" I read in the book that he was extremely good at the stars, he was a man among the immortals, and he was deeply valued by Emperor Wu and the lord of Du Ruo at that time, and I heard that he later went to sea to become an immortal. ”

Mrs. Zhu said, "You are also a scholar, and you still believe in these ghosts and gods?" ”

Zhao Changqing did not hesitate, "Letter!" ”

Mrs. Zhu choked up, the old tsundere had a temper attack, and he ignored Zhao Changqing after covering his face.

Zhao Changqing touched his face and had nothing to say, "This is really different from applying milk to your face, it is more smooth." That's a good idea. ”

Hmph, isn't that nonsense? Mrs. Zhu rolled her eyes, and became more and more arrogant. Zhao Changqing said, "It is said that Tang Shenxian is white and beautiful in his bones, and I don't think the master is too much." I'm so worried that I'm about to have gray hair, and my grandfather is still full of black hair. ”

Mrs. Zhu snorted twice, but still ignored it.

Zhao Changqing was not in a very good mood, and sighed, "I heard that the master didn't pay attention to anything other than eating and having fun at night, and the rumors were really inaccurate." ”

Mrs. Zhu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said mockingly, "How stupid this is!" Pointing to the luxurious room, he said, "If I only rely on the conscience of my children and grandchildren, can I live like this?" Changqing, Changqing, you are such an idiot. ”

Zhao Changqing has gone through many things, and he can see through a little, and he didn't think it was strange to hear Mrs. Zhu's words, and said with a long sigh, "The things in my heart have nothing to do." Even if I wanted to, I didn't know where to start. I think the same is true for the grandfather. No matter what others say about Taiye, Taiye is good to me, I know that Taiye is a good person. What do they have to do with me? ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "In addition to being a little like me in terms of intelligence, you are far from being free and easy." "In the end, when you are young, you have to persuade the old man personally.

Mrs. Zhu looked at Zhao Changqing, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and said, "I'm not a successor." Come on, let's go play, you don't know how to play, this can't be done, go out in the future to be embarrassed, and make others laugh. I teach you. ”

Mrs. Zhu pulled Zhao Changqing to play, although Zhao Changqing was a little depressed at the beginning, Mrs. Zhu was the most able to coax people to be happy, and after a while, he also let go of his heart and played with him.
