Chapter 49 The Zhu Family of the Former Dynasty
On this day, I came to Chen's house with gifts to see Mrs. Chen, but Chen Xianren was not at home, and Mrs. Chen said, "I fell in love with a maiko, and I went to mix again." This child is not married, he studies medicine wholeheartedly, and then these delicate things. ”
I asked, "Where are the Maiko?" ”
Mrs. Chen said: "It's on Da'an Street in front of you, what Qingqing Dance Club, if there are two money, they will be smashed into it." ”
I said, "If you like it, you might as well marry your family, so that you don't have to go out and play." ”
Mrs. Chen waved her hand again and again and said, "Prostitutes are ruthless, the drama is unrighteous, and we are small families and cannot afford to support such people." ”
I said, "It's not necessarily like this, what Brother Xianren likes, can it be worse?" ”
Mrs. Chen said: "Lan'er, you are kept at home all day long, how do you know how bad these girls are outside." ”
I asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Mrs. Chen said: "That girl didn't want to be good at all, and when she heard that she was a prostitute of her own volition, she liked a group of men to surround her and spend money on her." ”
I don't know what to say, and again Qingqing is not a prostitute? But Mrs. Chen won't listen to it, besides, I have something to do today, and I don't want to talk to Mrs. Chen.
I had no choice but to change the subject and say, "I was going to bring Ruyi and Xue'er to see you, but the wind is a little strong today, and I will bring it when I get older after a while." ”
Mrs. Chen said, "Yes, you don't always have to go out, it will take 100 days to get better." I wanted to go see you, but Hyunin is always at that woman's place, so you have to persuade him for me. ”
I said, "Okay, but Brother Xianren is also measured, so you don't have to worry too much." ”
"His father died early, he followed his grandfather to the hospital since he was a child, he was handsome, and he couldn't be spoiled by a bunch of girls."
"The Chen family is a family of doctors, and it is common sense for ladies to like it." I said, "When the old lady was sentenced by the court, it was still the time of the great grandfather." ”
"No, in the past, when the Zhu family sat in the world, they used our Chen family, and now the Li family is still our Chen family, this person, no matter how precious he is, there are times when he has a headache and brain fever, and he who studies medicine is not afraid of changing the dynasty."
"That's what Mom said." I say.
Mrs. Chen felt that she had lost her words, and hurriedly said: "Then where is the Zhu family, where is our current wisdom and martial arts, and we can't compare with each other." ”
I said: "Grandpa Gao, back then, had a good hand, a few days ago at Zhou Jieyu's place, I saw the portrait painted by Grandpa Gao for the Empress Dowager Duanci, like a living one, too expressive." ”
"Yes, this Empress Dowager Duanci was really beautiful when she was young, and she was a good person. It's a pity that my life is not good, I lost early. I heard that the saint is also a talent today. ”
"Such a beauty, why haven't I heard anyone talk about it before?"
Mrs. Chen sighed and said, "I heard that her mother's family committed an accident and they are all dead." She is also thanks to the protection of her grandfather and her son, who has been confined all the time, and she has endured for many years, but she has not survived. ”
"Her mother's family, all dead?"
Mrs. Chen sighed and said, "The male master over the age of sixteen heard that he was decided. The rest of the women, children, house slaves, were exiled. They are all pampered people, and I heard that there is a newborn child in it, where can this survive. ”
"But isn't the Empress Dowager Duanci a concubine? Didn't you hear about the guilt? ”
"Grandpa Gao is afraid that if he condemns her, her child will become the son of a sinner, so he has always been only confined and not convicted."
"What the hell did her mother's family do?"
Mrs. Chen shook her head and said, "I don't know about this, her mother's family is the Zhu family of the former dynasty, it's hard to say." ”
"The Zhu family?" I asked in surprise.
Mrs. Chen nodded and said, "Because of this, the child was not allowed to be raised by herself after birth." ”
"Mother and son have never known each other?"
"Things in the palace, where to make it clear, the Empress Dowager Duanci has always been very popular in the palace back then, and there are palace maids who have received her favor, taking the children, letting their mother and son meet, grandpa Gao has turned a blind eye, and others pretended not to see it, just hiding it from the Empress Dowager Du."
Emperor Gaozu's world was taken from the Zhu family. At that time, the emperor of the Zhu family announced that he would abdicate the throne to Grandpa Gao, on the condition that the lives of the Zhu family be saved. It was only later that the Zhu family was involved in a major case of rebellion and was beheaded all over the house.
However, even Mrs. Chen knows that this is "hard to say".
"You just said there's a newborn child in there?"
"Yes, that child, I heard that it is the child of the youngest son of the Zhu family, the youngest son of the Zhu family, who was only fifteen years old at the time, and it was also the Empress Dowager Duanci who begged Grandpa Gao, saying that they were not adults, so the family of three was exiled together."
"And then?"
"Not long after, Grandpa Gao died, I remember that year, your father was only eleven or twelve years old, right? The Queen Mother is in charge of the government, the Du family, no one dared to mess with it at that time, and now it is gone. ”
"And the Wei family." I said sadly.
"These things have nothing to do with us, Lan'er." Mrs. Chen looked at me worriedly and said, "We women, marry husbands and husbands, the prince is so good to you, and we still have a pair of children, no matter what happens to them." ”
I grieved and shed tears, but nodded anyway.
Mrs. Chen said: "When they were in power back then, weren't they also very beautiful? The serious prince doesn't pay attention to it. Can the emperor spare them? ”
Looking at Mrs. Chen's indignant appearance, you can know how unpopular the Wei and Du families are. I was secretly sad, and I didn't know how Wei Yunqi was doing now.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't wait for Chen Xianren, I said goodbye, thinking that Zhou Sinian was actually the Zhu family of the previous dynasty, but he never mentioned it, his whole family was killed by my grandfather, how much sincerity did he have? I was depressed, and I didn't want to take the car home immediately. Walking on the road sullenly, he inadvertently walked in front of a large mansion.
When I looked up, I actually walked to the Wei Mansion.
I remembered the last time I asked Zhou Sinian to help me find out where Wei Yunqi's child was sent, but now more than a month has passed, but he has not heard back.
Thinking about whether I could find help from others, I thought about all the people I knew, and found that the only person I can rely on now is Zhou Sinian. The rest, either implicated in stepping down, or, are dead.
The heart is sad, and the sadness of the tree falling and scattering arises spontaneously. Why is this so? It seems that yesterday the government and the opposition were still in power, but overnight, there was nothing.
The seal on the door of the Wei Mansion has been weathered, and you can see the barren grass inside from the crack in the door.
