That night, Uncle Zhu came to greet his father.

Mrs. Zhu had to send Changqing back first, and said, "Come over tomorrow morning, let's have dinner together, I will ask them to stew deer tendons, that's a good thing." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled and left.

Mrs. Zhu asked the eldest son, "What's the matter?" Hurry up and say. ”

Uncle Zhu smiled, "I see that Changqing's child has grown quite a lot, and I want to ask, Ah Lu has also reached the age of marriage." My second sister and I are brothers and sisters, close to each other, and my father can still do this family thing? ”

"This is confused, I am your father, not Zhu Lu's father, and I can't control the affairs of the Zhao family. You're asking the wrong person about this. Mrs. Zhu played with the jade pendant on his waist, glanced at his eldest son, and asked, "Also, do you have a fancy for Changqing?" Or do you like Zhao Rong? ”

Uncle Zhu said, "Both of them are good children, and if my father says which one is good, I will decide which one for Brother Lu." ”

Mrs. Zhu glanced at his eldest son playfully, "Let's not mention this matter for the time being, there is something else, let's talk about it together." ”

There are only father and son in the room, and Uncle Zhu knows his father's temper. What's more, in front of his father, he didn't care about any temper or distemper, Uncle Zhu said, "My son resigned from the office, and he was a little anxious, I wonder if Peng Xiang will misunderstand?" ”

Mrs. Zhu asked, "Did you greet him before you resigned?" ”

Uncle Zhu said, "Peng Xiang sighed twice and didn't say anything else. ”

"That's it, he misunderstood you. You are so old, one is not a scholar, the other is not a zaifu, according to the rules of the court, you will retire in two years, what can you not offend people? Mrs. Zhu said that the eldest son was on his mind, and said, "You are just afraid of marrying the Zhao family, will it make Peng Xiangduo want to misunderstand?" Right? ”

Uncle Zhu smiled, "My son's thoughts have never been hidden from his father's eyes. "His father is simply a monster, eating, drinking, and having fun on weekdays. Let's talk about the old man, in fact, it is not very suitable and appropriate, and the old man is very useful when it is critical. Especially, the old man has a hard relationship with Peng. At the beginning, he had just been admitted to the Jinshi examination, entered Hanlin, and took the old man to live in the imperial capital for a period of time. At that time, the first emperor was in power, and Peng Xiang was not yet a Zaifu, and his official position in the court was not high. The old man doesn't care much about his Hanlin son, and he is closer to Peng Xiangna, who is not yet ambitious, than to his own son, of course, the old man has long been in love with Peng Xiang, and when Peng Xiang was assigned to serve in the border city, the two had a friendship. At that time, Uncle Peng of Xiao Hanlin didn't quite understand how his father was so devoted to the cold stove of the Peng family. Later, Peng Xiang rose step by step, and now the emperor ascended the throne, Peng Xiang entered the cabinet, and Uncle Zhu also had to admire the old man's eyesight. has such a father who is familiar with the emperor and the chief minister, where does Uncle Zhu dare not be filial, and the children and grandchildren of the Zhu family are filial piety one by one.

Now that Uncle Zhu has something to do, and this matter is related to future generations and family luck, he naturally wants to find his father to get an idea.

Mrs. Zhu asked, "What has Brother Lu been doing these two days?" ”

Uncle Zhu said, "The child went back to his hometown for the first time, and he has been with his brothers and sisters for the past two days, and he is getting along well. Especially Ah Rong, the granddaughter of the second sister's family, the little woman is quite talented. ”

Mrs. Zhu said, "With my old face, if you want to marry the Zhao family, Peng Xiang will not blame you, but he will no longer take care of the Zhu family as before." The pros and cons are up to you. I'm not going to be the master for you. As for Brother Lu'er's family affairs, Changqing is not suitable, as for whether to marry your second sister's family, you can make your own decisions. I'm a great-grandfather, and I can't care about my great-grandson. ”

Uncle Zhu agreed, and said, "According to my father, Queen Song ......"

"I'm not a member of the DPRK, it's just a letter from you, and your mother showed it to me, I don't know how it is, you can tell me about it."

Uncle Zhu frowned and said, "The Queen Mother has repeatedly attacked the Empress, and she first forced the Nine Emperor Princes to be raised in Cining Palace for a period of time. Now the queen took the princess and princess to the temple, that is, the court, and she also had a lot of complaints about Queen Song's previous affairs. Empress Song's brother and brother have left the imperial capital, and now their whereabouts are unknown, Song Rong resigned as a waiter because of his relatives, and now there is only one title of Marquis Cheng'en, and his influence is not as good as before. After Song Rong's step-room died of illness, everyone thought that he would remarry, and they didn't want to just straighten out the old concubine in the family. ”

Mrs. Zhu didn't ask the Queen Mother how to fight, but asked, "What is the origin of Song Rong's concubine?" ”

"It's an ordinary female dependent, an ordinary serious family, her parents are gone, she lived with her uncle before, and her life was not good, so she was said to be the second room with the Song family. A younger brother in the family, named Du Jun, was admitted to the Jinshi examination. I heard that when Empress Song did not enter the palace, she helped Empress Song take care of the free academy built by Empress Song. After a year in Hanlin, he was released as an official. Uncle Zhu said, "Also, a son of the original Qin Lao Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites is named Qin Zheng, and the grandson of the concubine family of Li Xiuzhu, the current Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, named Li Rui, has helped Queen Song take care of business. Empress Song's affair with the free academy outside was too close to the children of these families, which was quite intriguing. ”

Mrs. Zhu asked, "In this way, the Queen Mother's family is quite aggressive." ”

"Yes, there is also Peng Xiang, who also has some slight remarks about the queen." Empress Song had a son, but the ministers of the court did not like her, the emperor was old, and chaos between the court and the central government had appeared. Uncle Zhu thought about betting on both ends, and retired for the time being, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he had to find his father to make up his mind.

Mrs. Zhu looked at his eldest son, "You are right to resign." Your ability, when the wind is calm, is fine, and you can always live a step-by-step life. It doesn't work out when the storm is up. ”

"One of them." Mrs. Zhu stretched out a well-maintained finger, and the rounded fingertips were slightly shiny, "No matter how much the Queen Mother opens her teeth and claws, she can't compete for the queen." Don't think about it anymore, in the battle in the palace, Queen Song will be the winner. ”

"However, the Queen Mother is His Majesty's mother after all."

"It's useless for her to be His Majesty's grandmother, Song Rong died in the stepfamily, why don't you remarry a prominent house-filler? With Song Rong's current status, it is easy. But Song Rong straightened the old concubine, and the old concubine was still from a mediocre background. He has been able to press you on your head for so many years, and his means are more powerful than you, can't you see it? This is the Song family's intention, and the Song family is showing weakness to His Majesty! Why show weakness? The weak have always pretended to be strong, and only the strong can show weakness. Mrs. Zhu said lightly, "Just by looking at this, you can understand that the Song family knows it in their hearts and acts in a very orderly manner." What kind of person is Empress Song, you ministers crying and shouting and hanging themselves against the wall, she can still ascend to the back position in the slander of the world. With this, he is stronger than everyone in the world. The Queen Mother is just Her Majesty's biological mother, and she can't fight the Queen. ”

Uncle Zhu said, "Then do you want to remind Peng Xiang." ”

"Can you complement each other, can't you even figure this out? I think everybody is like you. Mrs. Zhu said.

Uncle Zhu smiled, "It's always our mind." ”

In the candlelight, Mrs. Zhu's eyes were deep, and he said softly, "Boss, what's the use of this kind of mind that isn't even icing on the cake?" If you have the heart, first, you shouldn't resign at this time, you resigned from the household department, and it's hard to say who will go up again. Second, what are you thinking of marrying the Zhao family for? Where have you put Peng Xiang's care all these years? ”

Uncle Zhu's face burned like fire, and he said for a long time, "Father, Peng Xiang insisted on opposing the canonization of the Song Empress, but Peng Xiang's grandson Peng Yanrong wrote a letter to support the canonization of the Song Empress. The Peng family, is it also betting at both ends? ”

Mrs. Zhu sighed softly, "Even if the Peng family wants to bet on both ends, why should they destroy the Great Wall in such a way of slapping their faces?" Peng Yanrong did not know what Peng Xiang did in advance. ”

Uncle Zhu said, "Father, my son's age has also become a high-ranking official, and he has been prosperous and rich for a lifetime, so it's no pity to close his eyes now." But what about the generations to come? The son thought that he would pave the way for future generations, and they would be able to walk. ”

Mrs. Zhu laughed loudly, Fang narrowed his eyes and asked mercilessly, "How are you going to pave this?" You know in your heart that it is Changqing who has dealings with Shopkeeper Li, but in the past two days, you should have inquired about her, and you feel that she is not acting in accordance with the rules of the lady, and you plan to abandon her and go to Zhao Rong, anyway, they are all the daughters of the same father, right? ”

Uncle Zhu said busily, "If my father ......"

"Nothing if not! You don't have to involve me! Mrs. Zhu interrupted the eldest son's words and said, "What should be said has been said." Looking at August 15, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I went back to the other hospital. Your own business, decide for yourself, don't have to ask me again. Impatiently, he threw people out.

Although Uncle Zhu did not receive any preferential treatment from his father, but Uncle Zhu has this temper, and he is his own father, he is also used to it, and he went back to the house to think about it in the middle of the night. Because he didn't bring his staff home, he discussed with his mother for half a day the next day.

Don't look at Mrs. Zhu's ability, the housekeeper is also a good hand, and the old lady is a little confused in these national affairs. Mrs. Zhu said, "Your father is such a temper, when he is not happy, I will ask him for a quasi-letter." ”

Generally, when parents talk alone, Uncle Zhu does not have to accompany him.

Mrs. Zhu doesn't go to Mrs. Zhu's yard except for something, and the husband and wife can't talk about it from the outlook on life to the world. However, regarding the fate of the family, Mrs. Zhu still wants Mrs. Zhu to have an idea.

Mrs. Zhu was listening to Zhao Changqing playing the flute, and when he saw his old wife, he said, "What's the matter, a beard sued you again?" Because he thought that Uncle Zhu's beard was ugly, Mrs. Zhu nicknamed his son "A Handful of Beards".

Mrs. Zhu smiled and said to Zhao Changqing, "Ah Ling, they are making poems and laughing in the garden, and Changqing will also go to be lively." ”

Zhao Changqing glanced at Mrs. Zhu and went down.

Mrs. Zhu bored a grape to eat, Mrs. Zhu sat opposite her husband, sent the maids to retreat and said, "The boss has no idea, looking for you as a father to get an idea, you are more difficult to find than outsiders." ”

Mrs. Zhu said idly, "This idiot, together with me, wasted so much foam last night." ”

If she asks for help, even if she doesn't listen to what she says, Mrs. Zhu endured it and asked directly, "You just said that you can't do anything with the Zhao family?" ”

Mrs. Zhu glanced at his old wife and muttered, "It's really not enough to worry about!" ”

Old Lady Zhu slapped the table and said angrily in a low voice, "Is my heart for outsiders?" You kicked your legs yourself, no matter whether others live or die, I can't watch my children and grandchildren go to ask for food! ”

Mrs. Zhu sighed, "Personnel have metabolism, and families have ups and downs." ”

Old Lady Zhu frowned and pondered for a moment, "Is the shape so precipitous?" ”

"What's the use of the boss resigning? The second, third, and fifth are all in office, and there is a small one in the family who is an official in the imperial examination. Although the family has a little relationship with Peng Xiang, Peng Xianggu has paid it back over the years. The beauty that the boss thinks, bet on both ends? Peng Xiang is still in power, is it true that if people are gone, the tea will be cold? Officials inspect every year in the household department. Peng Xiang doesn't have to confess, he doesn't have the right look, and someone will clean up the second, third, and fifth. Mrs. Zhu tapped his fingertips on the table, "He has been an official for many years, and he can't even see through this, what else do I have to say." ”

Mrs. Zhu was silent for a long time, "You are his father, he can't see through it, you teach him." ”

"I'm too lazy to teach, you go and teach, I'll go back to the other courtyard after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Mrs. Zhu said, "I am also a sincere relative to the Zhao family, and it doesn't have much to do with whether I marry or not." Besides, I take a fancy to Changqing, but I just look at Brother Lu, and it seems that I have some interest in Ah Rong. ”

Mrs. Zhu grabbed an orange in his hand and peeled it, and stuffed half of it to Mrs. Zhu, "You've done enough with this, so what's the matter if you take a break." ”

Mrs. Zhu sighed, "You can't rest assured if you're alive." ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "Future generations will remember you." ”

Mrs. Zhu discussed with Mrs. Zhu, "In the past few days, I have been thinking about asking Brother Zhuang to take Brother Lu to meet the brothers and elders in the clan, what do you think?" ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled leisurely, "Alas, that's not because Young Master Lu is tired, he should be asked to sit in the hall and call the clansmen to kowtow to him one by one." ”

Mrs. Zhu couldn't hold back the sarcastic face of Mrs. Zhu, and said slightly angrily, "The child has only been back for two days, and he is tired and panicked, so he just rests for two days." ”

Mrs. Zhu still smiled sincerely and said, "Isn't it, the sisters and sisters of the daily poems and lyrics are indeed easy to get tired." ”

Mrs. Zhu was angry, "I can't talk to you." She knew Mrs. Zhu's temper again, and said, "Since you feel that the younger generation is inappropriate, how good it is to say it directly." As soon as her children and grandchildren came back, she patronized and was happy, thinking that she would have a serious banquet for the clan in a few days, but she forgot that Zhu Lu was a junior, so it would be good to go to each family to ask for a word. The dead old man remembered it, but he didn't say anything, which made people even more angry.

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "He has his own grandmother and his own ideas, so why should I worry about it?" That's it, I'll enjoy it one day. ”

Mrs. Zhu was half angry every time she talked to Mrs. Zhu, and before she finished speaking, she had to continue to endure it, and said, "Since our family doesn't mean to marry, why don't you go and write a letter and tell Peng Xiang about our family's intentions." These many years of old friendship, don't misunderstand. ”

Mrs. Zhu said, "What kind of letter to write, ask the boss to find a family affair for Ah Luding, although it is easy to find the kind of daughter who is loyal to Peng Xiang's family, the family affairs must be certain, and Peng Xiang naturally knows." Then ask the boss to write a letter to explain the original situation. ”

Mrs. Zhu said, "That's good." When the boss writes a letter, you have to show it to him. ”

Mrs. Zhu said strangely, "Did he grow up eating in the imperial capital all these years?" "Write a letter and show it to Lao Tzu.

Mrs. Zhu forcibly suppressed the anger of "eating" and said, "What about the three stinkers and one Zhuge Liang, this matter is very important, what's wrong with you checking him?" ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled, put a fair-skinned and beautiful face in front of Mrs. Zhu, and said, "If you kiss me, I will answer you." ”

Mrs. Zhu pushed Mrs. Zhu's face away, her face was panicked, and she said, "You are not serious, you are ashamed!" ”

Mrs. Zhu said idly, "The children have all given birth, and now they are suspected of being indecent again." You don't kiss or not, you don't kiss and don't do things for you! ”

Facing Mrs. Zhu's scoundrel face, Mrs. Zhu was dizzy and suspected again, I must have been blind to marry such a mess! Seeing Mrs. Zhu's hateful face and stepped forward again, Mrs. Zhu picked up the orange peel on the table and pressed it on Mrs. Zhu's face, regardless of Mrs. Zhu's screams, Mrs. Zhu pressed it twice hard, and turned around and left in a coaxing manner!
