When I went to live in Zhuangzi, the happiest person was actually Yue.

Although she has always been quiet and disciplined, and the idyllic scenery is not too tempting for her, as long as her biological daughter is here, the Yue family is very content, and she is happy every day.

Chang Runzhi would take her to see the farmers fishing for lotus root in the mud under the lotus pond, watching the farmers throw off their arms to harvest grain, and watching the lively scene of boiling in the wheat field.

Even in the days of the autumn tiger, the Yue clan didn't feel sad about the sun.

Chang Runzhi, who lived a leisurely life in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, also fell in love with this kind of life that rises at sunrise and rests at sunset. It has become a habit to watch the peasants work every day and learn some knowledge about people's livelihood.

However, the suburbs of Beijing are adjacent to the capital, and the news of the capital will also be passed on by the people of Guò to the village.

On the cusp of the storm, it was her eldest brother-in-law, King Rui.

After the crown prince was grounded, it seemed that overnight, King Rui became a popular man in front of Emperor Yuanwu.

This idle prince, who had never participated in political affairs before, and was just gossiping and gossiping in front of Emperor Yuanwu, suddenly became the center of the whirlpool of power.

There are rumors about King Rui.

It is said that he has been dormant for many years, and once he was on top; It is said that he was forced to be driven to the shelves; It is said that he was pushed out by the crown prince to resist the forces cultivated by several other princes......

There are endless conjectures, and there is no doubt that King Rui has become the hottest figure in the capital during this time.

Then, there was a shocking case in the household department, and Emperor Yuan Wu personally ordered the disposal of several household officials.

The people secretly said that the reason why these officials were unlucky was because King Rui investigated and dealt with their cases of corruption, favoritism, fraud, and other cases of using their power to seek benefits for themselves over the years.

Gradually, when everyone talked about King Rui, their words and deeds began to bring anxiety.

Chang Runzhi listened to the women gathering and chatting in the wheat field, and heard a woman say, "...... My second uncle's mother-in-law, who married his distant cousin, had a descendant who was a small official in the yamen, and that descendant said that King Rui looked fierce and vicious, and there was no smile on his face, and he looked very mad. ”

"That's it," said the other woman, "wasn't that Lord He from before his house raided?" I heard that the prince of Rui also took someone to copy, and my family went to join in the fun, and came back to tell me that the king of Rui looked scary, and his face made him feel cold on a hot day. ”

Chang Runzhi heard them talk about her eldest brother-in-law like this, and she felt a little funny, and couldn't help but interject: "King Rui looks so scary, but he has to run an errand, so he can't giggle." It's more powerful to put on a straight face. ”

During these days, Chang Runzhi often wandered around the village, and every family knew that there was such a girl from the landlord's family who came to live in her village, from the initial curiosity and fear, to now I can also laugh with Chang Runzhi.

Hearing that she also mentioned King Rui, the women chattered and asked, "Has the girl seen King Rui too?" ”

"Are the girl's family and King Rui related?"

"Is King Rui ugly? Will the princess of his family be terrified every day? ”

Chang Run replied one by one: "I have indeed met King Rui, and he is very good, but he is meticulous when he runs errands." ”

"There are two or three poor relatives in the royal family, and Lord Rui and I also have a little bit of a relationship with my family."

"King Rui is not ugly, the emperor's concubine can't choose the crooked melon and cracked dates, right? No matter how beautiful a son is, he will not look ugly. As for the princess of his family, she is very gentle, and she has a good relationship with King Rui, and they also gave birth to three sons.5./books/20/20076/

Concubine Qing is the only one. ”

The women listened to Chang Runzhi's answer, and exclaimed from time to time, their expressions were very vivid.

But rumors are rumors, and they won't dissipate because of her words or two.

The nickname of King Rui's "Iron Mask Lord" gradually spread.

He is serious and cautious and ruthless, and Emperor Yuan Wu likes his temperament like him, and many errands will be handed over to him - even if it is some errands that are not on the table, or should not be known, Emperor Yuan Wu gradually handed over to King Rui with confidence.

Although Chang Runzhi was not in Beijing and could not see the grand scene of King Rui in Beijing, he could also listen to people who came from the Hou Mansion every two days to talk about the current situation of King Rui.

King Rui was pulled by Emperor Yuanwu and gradually took real power, plus the officials who were originally loyal to the prince in the household department were picked up by Emperor Yuanwu, and King Rui gradually got started to do things in the household department, so many courtiers felt that King Rui began to rise, so they often visited the palace of King Rui.

In the past, there were almost no guests to come to the Ruiwang Mansion, but now the **** is like a city.

Her eldest sister and the mistress of the Ruiwang Mansion have to receive many officials and relatives every day, if she hadn't rejected the gifts sent by the officials and relatives, I am afraid she would have to accept the gifts softly.

The person from the Hou Mansion smiled: "It's not just the Ruiwang Mansion that is lively, but our Hou Mansion is also lively." ”

"Oh?" Chang Runzhi thought for a while and wondered, "Is there something going on in the house?" The second brother and the third brother are going to say kiss? ”

Xiao Han's other two sons, Chang Hong and Chang Hu, who are twins, are also seventeen years old this year, and they have reached the age of kissing. The two of them were born on the same day, and it is estimated that the marriage will be done at the same time, and it will be in the past two years.

The person who came shook his head and smiled: "The second young master and the third young master's family affairs, there is an old lady staring at it...... The Hou Mansion is lively, in fact, it is also related to Lord Rui. Those who can't get through the door of Ruiwangfu have all come to our house. ”

Chang Runzhi thought for a while and understood.

According to King Rui's personality and Chang Muzhi's personality, presumably those who ran to King Rui's Mansion had nothing to gain. If you can't get on the line in King Rui's mansion, go to Princess Rui's mother's house to build a relationship. It is also a good choice to save the country with a curve.

Chang Runzhi nodded and said, "Father and mother are measured, and these things will definitely be handled properly." ”

She paused, then asked, "But what else is the news?" ”

The person who came blinked his eyes: "There are two more news......"

Seeing that he seemed to be a little speechless, Chang Runzhi smiled and said: "Say it quickly, I said it earlier and took the reward money back early, your daughter-in-law is still waiting." ”

The visitor had been to Zhuangzi a few times, and Chang Runzhi knew a little about the situation in his family, and knew that he was a person who loved his daughter-in-law, so he made two jokes in his words.

The person who came smiled embarrassedly: "Let the three girls see the joke." ”

After a pause, he said, "A piece of news is about the Nine Emperor Princes. ”

Chang Runzhi couldn't help but sit up straight.

"The Nine Emperor Princes are now following Lord Rui."

Chang Runzhi was not surprised.

The relationship between Liu Tong and King Rui is the best, although he is unwilling to do things for the prince, he will definitely be able to do his best for King Rui.

Chang Runzhi nodded, indicating that he knew, took a sip of tea and asked, "What about another news?" ”

The person who came looked at Chang Runzhi's expression, and then lowered his head and said softly: "Over there in the Fang family, there is an aunt who has already given birth to a son. (To be continued.) )
