377. Chapter 376
It is said that there is a little monk in Kaiyuan Temple who hinted that Princess Lu should not be ostentatious in looking for a child, and Princess Lu suddenly understood most of it, her chest swelled, and she pretended to be a person who had nothing to do and ate fasting. When the romance first left the temple, Princess Lu gave a deep salute to the old abbot: "Thank you, Master!" Tears rolled down his eyes.
She led them away. When he arrived half a mile away from the Yuan Temple, he instructed others to just go to the next place to investigate, and he bought a set of village girl's clothes in the village to change into, and walked back alone despite the obstacles of his henchmen. Before returning to Kaiyuan Temple, he did not go straight in, but walked around from outside the temple. Therefore, the temple was built on a mountain, and it was difficult to find a road, only mixed trees and grass. She was born in a general, there are not many rules, and Mrs. Liu doesn't care about her. It's just that I can't control it this time. After climbing for more than an hour, she went around to the mountain behind Kaiyuan Temple, and Princess Lu's hands and feet were broken. Not daring to go in like this, she hid behind the temple until sunset.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Princess Lu quietly went into the temple. When I pushed it at the back door, it was a cover-up, and I was overjoyed. He slipped in sideways. Kaiyuan Temple is huge, Princess Lu took a few deep breaths, and tiptoed towards the lighted room. After walking for a short time, I found a secluded courtyard. During the day, when they came, there was no one in the courtyard, and the monk said that there were occasional pilgrims to stay overnight. Princess Lu's heart was about to jump to her throat, she trembled for a long time, and she held her breath and touched the courtyard.
Knowing the details, she went around to the back of the room and quietly punctured a window paper. Suddenly there was a loud cry of a baby in the house, and Princess Lu was so shocked that she couldn't care about everything, so she ran to the front and broke in. But he saw three women in the house, two of them sitting on the kang, and one holding the child in his hand. Before the women could understand what had happened, she had already run to the child to take a lookβthe child, who was obviously not hers, but much older than her son, and suddenly his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground. The three women had already cried out: "Where did the madwoman come from! Immediately alarmed the monks in the temple.
It took Princess Lu a long time to get up from the ground, not talking to anyone, and walking out blankly as if she had lost her soul. The abbot then arrived, told the three women that it was a woman who had lost her child in the village near Zuo, and recited the Buddha a few times before fooling her. Princess Lu didn't look at the road either, but just turned around at will. There were two monks who followed her silently and did not bother. After walking for a long time, a wall suddenly appeared in front of her to block the way, and Princess Lu looked at the wall in a daze. She is only seventeen years old this year, and she married King Lu that day just so that her father could get a relative. It's a pity that a few days ago, it took a lot of effort to force King Lu to send his eldest son to become a monk, and in a blink of an eye, his son also left, and the retribution came so quickly. Princess Lu suddenly hissed and laughed, like a wolf howling and a ghost crying, startling a group of birds in the back mountain. After laughing for a long time, he burst into tears again.
I don't know how long she cried, but she stopped crying and sat down in front of the wall in a daze. The night is so dark that you can't feel the cold. After a long time, the surroundings gradually became a little brighter, and the two monks chanted in unison. Princess Lu slowly turned her head, and saw a golden light shining through a blue and white mountain shadow. The gold then became denser and denser, like a treasure coming out of the box and grabbing people's breath. Sunrise. As if she had been reborn, Princess Lu gave birth to a lot of strength, got up and blessed the two monks deeply, and turned to leave.
After leaving the temple, I walked to the village where I bought clothes yesterday, and the two henchmen were still waiting here. Princess Lu bathed and changed clothes in the village, and went into the city to find Zhu Tong all the way. This woman didn't hide it for half a minute, and only said that the second aunt and grandmother of Liu's mansion asked to see her. Zhu Tong knew that she had a tough temperament, and if she wanted to pretend to be stupid and avoid the past, she was afraid that she couldn't, so she had to invite her in.
Princess Lu looked at him and asked straightly: "My son is not in Kaiyuan Temple, where is it." β
Zhu Tong was slightly startled, and thought for a moment and said: "My subordinates don't know, they only know that they are kept in a safe place." β
Princess Lu looked at him and said, "Didn't you come up with the idea?" β
"It's not." Zhu Tong said generously: "My subordinates are good at government affairs, not good at making suggestions." β
"Is that also called giving advice?" Princess Lu sneered, "Coaxing the old and bullying women and children, it's just the idea of a villain." β
Zhu Tong nodded and said: "What the princess said is very true, the person who came up with the idea is really a villain. β
Princess Lu stared at him: "Sir, why don't you stop it?" β
Zhu Tong said: "It is the general who takes the idea, and the general is not a gentleman." β
Princess Lu closed her eyes and said silently for a moment: "Ask Mr. for an idea, I want to raise my son personally." β
Zhu Tong shook his head and said, "What the princess said doesn't count." Since this son is surnamed Situ, he can't stay with the princess. The general was willing to spare his life, which was already lenient. β
After a long time, Princess Lu said, "Isn't your surname Situ Ke?" β
"Yes." Zhu Tong said, "It's just that if you don't have the surname Situ, you can't get in front of the princess." β
Princess Lu said: "I can also become a monk." What my son wants is a relative, and now that my grandson has it, it doesn't matter if my daughter has it. β
Zhu Tong pondered: "Not now, let's talk about another year." β
Princess Lu said with tears in her eyes: "I can't wait to see my child for a moment!" β
Zhu Tong said firmly: "Forbearance." Princess Lu shook her head, tears welling up, sad and silent. Zhu Tong felt sorry and said, "Then I have to go." It's just that if you leave the country of Lu, you will lose the Liu family, how can you live? What will you be? Ploughing the fields, embroidering, doing business, you have to have some kind of craftsmanship to change food and clothing, right? β
Princess Lu was stunned, and only said after a while: "I still have savings." β
Zhu Tong said: "It is not easy to raise children. In addition to food and clothing, if you have a headache and heat, you have to ask a doctor to extend the medicine, and there will be a gentleman's bundle of repairs in the future. Even if you go to the country of Lu and study with the king of Lu, you can only teach some enlightenment. If the princess can't stand on her own, I'm afraid it will be difficult to raise children. β
Princess Lu hurriedly said: "The children of commoners have generally grown up!" β
Zhu Tong smiled bitterly: "Does the princess still remember the Wang brothers under King Lu?" The children of the commoners, the two kings could rob them of their inheritance, and take their wives and daughters. The princess has such a look and a young son, once she takes off the identity of Liu Dong's daughter, ordinary ruffians and hooligans can be bullied. There are no people like the two kings in the world? β
Princess Lu was stunned as if she had been slapped on the head. After a long time, his eyes lit up: "Is it too late for me to start practicing martial arts now?" β
Zhu Tong said: "You are Liu Tong's daughter, there is nothing you can't do." β
Princess Lu gave Zhu Tong a deep salute and turned to leave. She didn't go to the palace, she went straight to Liu's mansion to find Liu Shu, saying that she couldn't find her son, and she felt uncomfortable and wanted to learn martial arts. Liu Shu responded to the trivial matter on the spot, turned his head and found a sister-in-law Meng who was good at martial arts in the military camp, and asked her to go to the Lu Palace's palace to teach the princess to practice martial arts. The Queen Mother scolded in disappointment: "The mud can't support the wall!" After all, she is the daughter of Takeo. β
From this day on, Princess Lu no longer went out to search the temple, nor did she see King Lu, but only learned martial arts with Sister-in-law Meng in her own courtyard, and walked around the market to check and study how civilians lived. Sister-in-law Meng went back and praised Liu Shu: "Uncle, this sister is amazing!" I've never seen a man who works so hard, talking about women. Liu Shu never took a few girls in his eyes, and he remembered her when he heard the words.
Princess Nalu, who has now been demoted to a side concubine, heard about it, and timidly came to ask for a meeting, saying: "Since the prince has left the house, can the princess be merciful and let my son come back?" My mother and son only live in a side courtyard. β
Princess Lu glanced at her a few times and said, "You don't know the root cause after all." Even if I am willing to let him come back, do you dare to keep him in the house? It's better to be in the temple, and be safer. Now there are many people outside who want to assassinate the king. The woman was so frightened that she didn't dare to mention it again.
It didn't take long for the affairs of the Lu State to reach Chengtian Mansion, and Jia Cong casually said to Jia Yu. Jia Meng and Han Quan were also playing in Jia Amnesty's house, and Jia Meng asked, "Why did King Lu's two sons go as monks?" β
Jia Cong said: "King Lu is just Liu Dong's puppet. If it weren't for the fact that Liu Tong was busy in Dongying, where would his eldest son have the opportunity to become a monk. β
"Huh?" Jia Meng didn't quite understand, "Did the eldest son of King Lu become a monk on purpose?" β
"No, he was forced to leave the house by King Lu, and he saved the child's life by beating him crookedly." Jia Cong said, "If Liu Tong is in Lu State, he will die or live." β
"Why?"
Jia Cong looked at Jia Yu. Jia Yu waved his hand and said, "How old is he?" Forget it, you can do it. β
Jia Cong Nai said: "Because King Lu is the son-in-law robbed by Liu Tong, Liu Dong doesn't like the sons born to King Lu and other women. He will kill the eldest son of King Lu. β
Jia Meng grew up being held by a large family, and now he is only about to be eight years old, and he still doesn't understand these power struggles, so he stared at his uncle with wide eyes: "He robbed someone to be his son-in-law, why did he kill his son?" β
Jia Cong touched his head and sighed, "Forget it, you're still younger." β
Jia Meng argued: "I'm not small. β
"Well, you've grown up."
Han Quan on the side suddenly asked: "It's just that King Lu's youngest son also entered the temple?" He was always Liu Tong's grandson. β
Jia Cong said: "After all, he is also the son of King Lu, and there are eggs under the nest." The children surnamed Situ are quite pitiful. Don't mention this, didn't you two say that you were going to buy Kong Ming locks? I'll be fine now, I'll take you there. Jia Meng cheered, and pulled Han Quan back to change his clothes. Jia Cong said again, "You bring good money." β
Jia Meng turned his head suddenly: "Didn't the third uncle take it with you?" β
"The third uncle is taking you there." Jia Cong said lazily, "Could it be that the third uncle still gives you money?" It's not like you don't have money. β
Jia Meng puffed out his mouth and said confidently: "Where are the adults and children giving money." β
Jia Cong glanced at him: "Haven't you grown up?" β
"I won't grow up for a while."
Jia Cong and Jia Yu laughed in unison: "Is it okay like this!" β
Jia Meng wrinkled her little nose and ran away with Han Quan. When he arrived in the backyard and sent Han Quan back to Mrs. Xing first, Jia Meng looked at him as if he was not in good spirits and asked, "Why is it wilting?" Don't you feel comfortable? β
Han Quandao: "It's okay." I just think King Lu is so incompetent. β
Jia Meng said: "The third uncle said that the emperor's house is a wolf's den, and only one wolf cub in a litter can live, and the rest are waiting to die." King Lu and King Chen are too small, and they can't fight other wolves. β
Han Quan said in a low voice: "King Lu seems to be quite good. β
Jia Meng said: "That's because he has a capable sister, otherwise this Zilu Kingdom would have fallen into the hands of his uncle and grandfather, I listened to what my father said." The country of Lu is too small, and sooner or later other countries will be destroyed. β
Han Quan sighed: "It's still Chengtianfu Ansheng." β
"Isn't it? Change your clothes, let's buy something! Jia Meng happily pushed him into Mrs. Xing's yard, and ran back to Wang Xifeng.
The Jia Cong lay on the case and said to Jia Yu: "Dad, did you suddenly like a woman when you were young?" β
Jia Yu turned his head to look at him: "Moved by the heart?" Your grandmother's filial piety is not over yet. β
"It's not." Jia Cong said, "Zhu Tong suddenly moved his heart to a woman who had only seen one face. β
Jia Yu said: "It's not strange, didn't Huan'er also think about it when she saw Princess Jian'an?" β
Jia Cong said: "How old was Brother Huan back then? How old is Zhu Tong? Zhu Tong is already an adult, okay? β
"He doesn't have a daughter-in-law yet, so if he likes it, he will marry him." Jia Yu picked up the teacup.
Jia Cong moved the corners of his mouth: "If it were an ordinary person, it would be easy to do." Liu Tong's daughter, Concubine Lu Wangzheng. β
"Poof!" Jia Yu squirted out a sip of tea, "It's such a coincidence?" After a while, he asked, "What do you see?" β
Jia Cong yawned and said, "I have never felt that love at first sight is unreliable, but there are real examples." I'm going to tell him to wait a few days, calm down, and then think about what I like about her. If you can find one, two, three, four, and calm down for a few more days, you probably won't like her so much. If you don't even know what you like about her, think again: Is it possible to be kind to her son? If not, the wisdom sword cuts the green silk; If you can, grab it! He rubbed the back of his neck, "It's just that the kid's surname is Zhu." β
Jia Yu said: "Princess Lu's son is in the temple." β
Jia Cong said: "There are only two children here, I didn't say it so clearly. Then he told the gourd monk what he had planned. This son will be raised by Liu Tong as Liu Tong's youngest son in the Liu family, and it is not difficult to get it out. β
Jia Yu pondered: "If you want to get it out, you have to get it out as soon as possible." Nowadays, the children are too young to recognize many people. raised a little outside, as Zhu Tong's private son outside. β
Jia Cong smiled: "It's easy. If he really wants the woman and accommodates the child, I can make up evidence to prove that the child was privately raised by the two of them, and has nothing to do with King Lu. β
"You kid!" Jia Yu poked his finger at him, "There's nothing you don't dare to think about." β
Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and said: "The more bloody the plot, the more people believe it." β
Jia Yu glanced at him and said, "Aren't you afraid that this woman hooked up with Zhu Tong and stood on her side?" β
Jia Cong laughed and said, "Dad, you tease me." If this woman can't even figure out who is good to her, Zhu Tong is not a fool, even if she can look at her appearance, she will not listen to her. Besides, small means such as changing the tanuki for the prince are of limited use, and Liu Tong still cares too much about fame. Even if the child was changed, Zuo just became his son and changed his surname to Situ, and his grandson changed his surname to Liu. Zhu Tong wrote this plan to him, just to win trust. β
Jia Yu pondered: "Marrying his daughter will be more able to win his trust." β
Jia Cong squeezed his eyes: "More than that." Although King Lu's power is small, there is still a little bit of power after all. It is also faithful to raise children for the Lord. When I go back, I will break out a good friend and an illegitimate child for Zhu Tong, and make up a story about the orphans of the Zhao family. He struck his desk, "Such a loyal minister, touching the heavens and the earth!" β
Jia Yu slapped him on the door of his head: "Look in the mirror, you are full of traitors!" β
"Daddy! Where there is a father, there is a son! β
The two looked at each other and smiled.
