174 Temptation
Zhu Mingyu went to the new mansion of the Zhu family and took a look, it is not small here, it seems that Zhu Chengye is ready to move his focus to the capital, so he has to spend so much money.
The new house of the Zhu family is near Luyuan Hutong, and Zhu Mingyu pondered and went to find the next step.
As soon as Zhu Chengye heard that Zhu Mingyu was back, he felt that he had ironed a little, but he still couldn't help it, so he moved back.
However, when he saw Zhu Mingyu traveling lightly, Zhu Chengye frowned: "Mingyu, where is your luggage?" Why didn't you move back together? He didn't fancy her things, but he didn't bring them back, so he wasn't prepared to stay.
"I'll move in a few days." Zhu Mingyu said perfunctorily, "Father, don't always let my eldest brother come to me, he needs to review." ”
"He complained to you?" Zhu Chengye said unhappily, "I am dedicated to cultivating him to inherit the family business, he has to take any imperial examination, and it is not more convenient to donate an official in the future." Although he was also a vassal and elegant, he always felt that it was just to prevent people from looking down on him as a businessman, and he never felt that there was no silver to work for the imperial examination.
Zhu Mingchen was also on the side, he actually didn't agree with Zhu Chengye's words, but he never talked back to Zhu Chengye, so he could only listen silently.
Zhu Mingyu didn't bother to despise him, her purpose was very simple, that is, not to let Zhu Chengye disturb Zhu Mingchen, so she said patiently: "The eldest brother is so good at learning, it's a pity not to take the exam, besides, if he is admitted, won't his father's face be bright?" ”
Hearing this, Zhu Mingchen glanced at Zhu Mingyu gratefully.
Zhu Chengye still felt that it was unnecessary, but it was rare to talk to Zhu Mingyu so calmly, and he was not embarrassed to spoil the atmosphere. You must know that he originally went to Beijing to be a petty official and had no connections. But with Zhu Mingyu's light, he is doing quite well in his new position.
You must know the opportunity to have the emperor personally summon the commendation. Not to mention him, not even his colleagues and superiors have ever experienced him. So, as soon as he heard that he was the father of Zhu Mingyu, who saved the Queen Mother, his colleagues and bosses were a little kind and affectionate to him.
In fact, Zhu Mingyu was also lucky, Emperor Jianwu was starting to compile a biography of the heroes and daughters of the Datong Dynasty, and it was difficult to find a contemporary one, so he specially reminded those historians to add this pen, so Zhu Mingyu was just pushed out as a typical example of loyalty, patriotism, composure and wit.
"Then Mingchen, go down. Read the book carefully, and since you refer to it, don't lose the face of the ancestors of the Zhu family. Zhu Chengye finally let Zhu Mingchen go.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Zhu Mingyu was not ready to stay for a long time, and said, "Since it's okay, I'll go back first." ”
"Go back, this is your home, where are you going back?" Zhu Chengye didn't wait for Zhu Mingyu to speak, and directly ordered someone to clean up Zhu Mingyu's room, saying that she would live here from today.
Zhu Mingyu was helpless. After thinking about it, live and live, what are you afraid of, now the princess in the Hengwang Mansion is not there. She still has to be careful of the people in Xiyuan, but she is back, and she can't leave Zhu Mingyao at home. Then he said: "Ming Yao didn't follow, I'll go back to pick her up." ”
"I still need you to go back. I sent someone back to pick her up. Zhu Chengye was busy arranging it again.
Zhu Mingyu left Kapok by his side and asked Mu Rong to go back with him. Let her tell Zhu Mingyao that she is staying temporarily and doesn't need to bring too many things.
Before dinner, Zhu Mingyao was also picked up, saw Zhu Mingyu, and made eye contact with her.
Because there were not many people, everyone ate together, and Zhu Chengye seemed to be in a good mood, and drank two more glasses.
After the meal, Zhu Mingxiu affectionately held Zhu Mingyu's arm and said, "Sister, I have a lot to say to you." ”
Zhu Mingyu glanced at Zhu Mingyao and asked her to go back first, she followed Zhu Mingxiu away, she also wanted to be "close" to this sister.
To say that Zhu Chengye put a lot of thought into her room in order to let Zhu Mingyu come back, Zhu Mingyu saw that the things in this room were all used by her in Fancheng, and she also added a lot of new jewelry.
Zhu Mingxiu has seen Zhu Mingyu's room, and many of them are arranged by her, although her heart is unbalanced, but there is no way.
"In order to make the eldest sister live comfortably, my uncle specially moved all your things in Fancheng."
"Hmm." Zhu Mingyu looked at it casually and sat down.
Zhu Mingxiu also sat beside her, and talked to Zhu Mingyu about a bunch of things in the city, Zhu Mingyu echoed two sentences from time to time, mainly listening to her, and didn't say a word about her things in the capital.
Finally, Zhu Mingxiu couldn't help it and asked, "Eldest sister, how did you save the Queen Mother in the first place?" She always felt that Zhu Mingyu didn't have that much ability, there must be something wrong.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a coincidence."
Seeing that Zhu Mingyu was secretive, Zhu Mingxiu was even more suspicious, could anyone help her? Isn't Princess Heng not here? That's Qin Guifei? That's why Qin Keji is so close to Zhu Mingyu?
"I heard that the queen mother and the noble concubine in the palace have always summoned you to the palace recently, such an honor is really rare."
"That's a." Zhu Mingyu said modestly, "Actually, I just let me accompany them to talk, they are in the palace all the year round, and they are always a little curious about things outside, so I told them a lot of things about the prosperous city." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Mingxiu hurriedly said: "Speaking of Fancheng, I'm afraid I know better than the eldest sister, you basically spend more time in the capital." ”
"That's right, I don't think there's anything to say lately, and I don't know what to say next time I enter the palace."
Seeing that Zhu Mingyu was a little worried, Zhu Mingxiu volunteered: "It's better for the eldest sister to take me into the palace next time, the two of us sisters together will definitely be able to make the ladies happy." ”
Zhu Mingyu was embarrassed: "I'm afraid it's not good, Niangniang only invited me into the palace alone, you know, the palace is heavily guarded, not all cats and dogs can enter." ”
Being sarcastically ridiculed by Zhu Mingyu's words, Zhu Mingxiu's smile froze significantly, but he still stabilized his emotions and said, "Eldest sister, are you afraid that I will steal your limelight?" ”
"How come," Zhu Mingyu pretended to be angry, "It's boring if you say that, am I such a stingy person?" Okay, next time I enter the palace, I'll mention you to my mother. ”
"Then thank you eldest sister, we are sisters, naturally we are of the same heart, you don't have to worry." Sure enough, he couldn't help but be excited, Zhu Mingxiu laughed secretly in his heart, waiting for this sentence, why can Zhu Mingyu be appreciated by the nobles in the palace, she is not worse than her, if she goes in by herself, she will definitely be able to do better than her. Besides, Master Zhitong has predicted that she has an imperial star in her life, and where else can the imperial star be, it must be in the palace, and she will never let go of this opportunity.
Zhu Mingyu smiled, knowing that she couldn't resist the temptation. (To be continued.) )
