Chapter 174: The Villain Grows Together!

"Dong Guiren in the palace is pregnant."

Gao pulled Zhao Zhongjun to sit down and told Zhao Zhongjun about the news he had gotten.

The mother and son were silent for a moment, and Gao told Zhao Zhongjun that even if he left Beijing, he should always contact his former husband and classmates, and not lose his friendship. For Empress Cao's side, you also have to write a lot of letters to say hello, it doesn't matter what is written in the letter, what matters is your heart.

The official family is already fifty years old, and in recent years, he has been sick one after another, and he has begun to take pills for a long time, and his health is not as good as a year, even if a prince is born in the palace, the courtiers will not necessarily support this prince as the crown prince.

It's man-made!

Zhao Zhongjun already knew his grandfather's thoughts on the night of Zhao Yunrang's death, and now he listened to his mother's advice, so he naturally nodded and agreed.

It's just that his heart is heavy. The gentlemen are very nice, and he is happy to help him answer any questions; Empress Cao is also very good, and her care for him can be said to be meticulous; Su Lu and Wang Yan are better, they are friends who talk about everything on weekdays.

Even the official family is very good.

He didn't want to take advantage of it.

But there are many things that must be done in life.

Zhao Zhongjun returned to his residence with a heavy heart, and when he saw the package on the desk, his mood jumped again. When he opened the package, the first thing he saw was the long letter on top.

Zhao Zhongyun was overjoyed in his heart, and when he read it, he realized that Su Lu had invested in a academy and made up a lot of new things. Looking down further, Su Yan comforted him in the letter, Yin Yin told him to pay attention to his body, and attached a few exclusive health recipes.

Zhao Zhongjun calculated the time, and when Su Lu wrote the letter, it should have been the day when good news came out of the palace.

Su Lu is so smart, there are some things that Su Lu can guess even if he never says it.

Su Lu must have known that their family had the intention of competing for the crown prince.

But even if he guessed this, Su Lu didn't deliberately treat him well or alienate him, and only treated him as an ordinary friend.

However, after hearing the news that Dong Guiren was pregnant, Su Rong, who only wrote him a thin page of replies on weekdays, did not avoid him, but deliberately wrote such a long letter to comfort him!

It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow!

With tears in his eyes, Zhao Zhongjun ordered someone to carefully put away the health recipes given by Su Lu, and was moved to rub the textbooks and test questions sent by Su Lu, and secretly decided that he must be self-taught during the period of filial piety, complete all these questions, and never let down his good brother's concern for him!

Zhao Zhongjun wiped away his tears and wrote a reply to Su Rong, telling Su Lu the news of his grandfather's death, and euphemistically asked Su Lu if he had any healthy vegetarian dishes, and he could not touch meat for at least three months during the filial piety period.

Zhao Zhongjun wrote a reply? Eat vegetarian food obediently every day, read books and learn words? Show a good filial piety that a filial grandson should show.

Zhao Zongshi has been in a bad mood since Zhao Yunrang died? Sometimes you don't see anyone for half a day? The Gao family sent people out to look for him, only to find that he had been sitting alone in the snow for a long time, and everyone was frostbitten.

Gao was worried? Let a few children keep an eye on Zhao Zongshi, and don't let him toss himself out of problems.

How many days have passed? Zhao Zhongjun's letter was sent to Jinshui Academy.

Did Su get the letter? Only then did I learn the news of the death of the king of Runan. He sighed, and paired Zhao Zhongyun with several healthy vegetarian dishes, so that Zhao Zhongjun could barely ensure the intake of various nutrients when he couldn't eat meat.

Thinking that many people who are physically weak are easy to survive the harsh winter, Su Lu wrote letters and copied recipes to Su Jian and them one by one? Let them eat properly and exercise consistently? He must be healthy, and he still has to rely on them to walk sideways in Kaifeng!

Su Lu sent an indiscriminate greeting from the juniors to the elders, and he was in a much better mood, and every day he wandered around the academy with his hands behind his back, chatting (or discussing academic issues) with every master and student he met? The little days are delicious.

But when the weather is colder, Su Lu won't go out? Sit on the kang every day and enjoy the spring-like warmth.

By the end of the year, there was finally a lot of good news from the DPRK and China? The biggest one is naturally Zhang Fangping, who successfully sprinted into the political affairs hall and became a member of the governor's political affairs.

He finally became Zhang from the third envoy to participate in politics!

What is this for the career of the literati of the Great Song Dynasty? Is it an extremely important step? Taken this step forward? Even if he is a person who is in the ranks, no matter how hard he works, he can become a civil official!

Su Lu's father and his brother are not bad, they have both been promoted, but considering that the father and son were promoted together, Su Lu's father was mainly raised, but his authority has not become bigger, at most he has a bright face; Su Budo's promotion is more conspicuous, he was directly arranged to be the local leader, and he has been recommended to participate in next year's subject examination, and the future is limitless!

Even Lao Jiang got a county order, and he was so excited that Lao Jiang only wrote a letter to Su Lu to report the good news, and the letter paper was full of tears.

It is said that there was a famous prostitute in the Tang Dynasty named Zhuozhuo, who fell in love with a cultural person named Pei Zhi at first sight, and washed her face with tears every day after being separated from the two places, and stuffed the handkerchief to wipe her tears into an envelope and sent it to each other, so as to convey her strong feelings of longing.

Later generations of literati gave her affectionate approach an elegant name, called "sending tears"!

Look at Lao Jiang's developed tear ducts, if he is reincarnated as a woman in the next life, he must be a good hand at playing this affectionate method!

It's the New Year, the students have gone home, and Su Lu and Zhang Yunrou have also returned to Kaifeng, ready to have a good New Year with their families.

Originally, the young couple could walk around the academy every day, but they were separated for a while, and Su Lu was a little unaccustomed to it. It's a pity that Su Lian has been an official for a long time, and there are many acquaintances, so he has to take Su Fang to entertain during the New Year, Su Lu can't run to Zhang Fangping every day, so he writes a limerick poem from time to time to Zhang Yunrou and sighs that they are separated from the two families, just like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl!

Su Lu and Zhang Yunrou enjoyed the fun of spreading books across the street, and unknowingly came to the first day of the Lunar New Year.

On the first day of the first month of this year, there was a not-so-good celestial phenomenon: the white rainbow ran through the sun.

This celestial phenomenon can be interpreted as a bad omen or an auspicious omen, the operation space is quite large, the officials in charge of observing the celestial phenomena discussed, although they were worried in their hearts, but they still reported a good omen, so that everyone barely had a good year.

But everyone who learned about this celestial phenomenon was worried, including Zhang Fangping, who had just become a political counselor. Because of entering the political hall, he has a lot more opportunities to contact the official Zhao Zhen on weekdays, and he finds that Zhao Zhen is very different from the past, such as becoming less and less silent, he will not jump out of a word if he can nod and shake his head to solve things, and he is not active in handling government affairs, most of the time he has to do it for them!

Rao is Zhang Fangping and Han Qi don't deal with each other very well, but he can't help but discuss this matter with Han Qi: Zhao Zhen is not in this state, where is the appearance of the king of a country?

Han Qi smiled and persuaded him: "The official family ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, and has been in power for thirty-nine years, and has paid a lot for the country. Now that the official family is not in good health, it is time for us to do our best, and we just need to do things with our hearts. ”

Zhang Fangping was very embarrassed when he heard it, and felt that this old Han was afraid that he felt that he was more comfortable in controlling the government. He talked about this matter with Su Lu in private, but Su Lu listened to it but sighed with emotion: "Han Xianggong is really a model for my generation, others always want to be lazy and slippery, he is good, he rushes to do the work himself, it is too worry-free for the official family to have such a prime minister!" ”

Zhang Fangping snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that his ambition will be fed." ”

Su Lu said: "Don't worry, I've heard people say, 'Literati rebel, ten years won't work', it will definitely be fine." ”

Zhang Fangping always felt that although this was quite reasonable, it sounded very harsh.

This kid doesn't have half a good word in his mouth, is he so burying people? Isn't he a man of letters?!

Su Lu said: "Aren't there still many people like you who are dedicated to public service in the DPRK and China? I heard that there are several people involved in politics in the political affairs hall, and they are in charge of different affairs, Han Xianggong really wants to have the ambition of Nalao Shizi, you are neither blind nor dumb, you will definitely be able to make him have nothing to hide! ”

Weng and his son-in-law chatted for a while, Zhang Fangping was in a much better mood, and told Su Lu to pay attention on weekdays and not to get too close to Zhao Zhongding. Now that Dong Guiren is pregnant, no one knows what the plans are in the palace, and no one puts them on the surface what the plans of the ministers in the court and the central government are, the water in it is too deep, and it is easy for such a half-sized man to be involved in it.

Su Yan said: "Brother Zhao Xian and I are just ordinary contacts, and it is too deliberate to break off relations rashly, and others will look down on me." The gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative! ”

Zhang Fangping listened to his eloquent words, so he didn't persuade him anymore.

"Whatever you want, you know what you want."
