Chapter 109: Ask Your Heart
Maybe it's because her husband Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing is not there; Maybe it's because Mrs. Mother-in-law has a low posture and a soft tone; Maybe it's because her daughter Zhu Ying is coquettish and stupid, and she is hard to persuade her to stay; Maybe it's because the mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the happier she becomes...... All in all, Jiu Niang finally reluctantly agreed to stay, but she still insisted on only "staying for two nights".
And when Zhu Ying and Mrs. Tai bit their ears and talked for a while, they were overjoyed and helped their mother back to make up, and even invited the Wu family to go, so Mrs. Tai kept Zhang Shou and asked about what she had seen today.
Zhang Shou said very frankly about the experience of seeing Chu Ying Qi Jingshan in the Zhigong Building, and later meeting Lu Juan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, I thought that Mrs. Tai would go to Lu Mansion with Zhu Ying last night to ask about the ins and outs of this time, but who knew that she just smiled lightly and asked a completely unrelated question.
"Ah Shou, do you know, how can Yingying block you at the door of the celebrant and the outer office?"
Zhang Shou followed Zhu Ying all the way before, and then had to deal with Jiu Niang, who had more personality than Zhu Ying, but at this time, he was suddenly reminded by Mrs. Tai, and he realized this problem, and immediately frowned and asked: "In this way, it is indeed strange." ”
"That's because others regard you as the second prince in the palace who has always been known for his outstanding appearance, and the news has spread to all the nearby yamen! You must know that the place where the celebrant and the outer office of the celebrant are avoided by others, and you will go in directly with such a big grin, it is difficult for others not to misunderstand! When Yingying told me secretly, I was shocked! ”
After being angry, seeing that Zhang Shou was a little embarrassed, Mrs. Tai shook her head and smiled: "Yingying ran to your house because her mother came back and didn't see anyone, I heard that the Shuntian Mansion was trying the case, and I thought that you might go there, but when I went to the Zhigong Building, I happened to hear that you had seen Mr. Chu and Mr. Qi and Lu Shangshu here, so I hurried all the way to find you." ”
When she met people along the way, she asked if she had seen a handsome little Langjun, and later heard that the second prince had entered the outer office of the celebrant eunuch, and she knew that it was wrong. She has been in the palace for the past two days, and she knows that the eldest prince and the second prince have had a fight before, and they were both grounded, and it is impossible to be released. ”
Zhang Shou couldn't cry or laugh for a while, however, what Mrs. Tai said next surprised him even more.
"My dynasty is not as good as the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, Emperor Taizu said that the prince will be crowned king when he lands, why? I don't know if it's an elite talent, or a wine bag and rice bag! Let's all grow up to eighteen years old first, and see if it's a dragon, a phoenix, or a mouse! On the contrary, the princesses have titles when they land, and they are more delicate than the princes. In fact, your marriage was just a verbal statement, and it didn't decide who it was. ”
Seeing that Zhang Shou was slightly stunned, Mrs. Tai said sincerely: "In other words, maybe Concubine Yu also takes a fancy to you and wants to recruit you to be Princess Yongping's concubine." Of course, this is because you are not only talented, but you are also born to be talented. People in the world judge people by their appearance, and often those who are not good-looking have to spend thousands of times more effort to prove their talent. ”
Zhang Shou smiled dumbly at this time, and did not have much resentment about Mrs. Tai's outspokenness. It's just that he didn't think so, and he was equally blunt at the moment: "Concubine Yu was concerned about it before, and I think it was because of my mother, so I definitely won't have the meaning you said." As for Princess Yongping, in my opinion, her eyes are above the top and she can't look down on me. ”
"Oh? If you're wrong, but they're actually taking a fancy to you, too? ”
Seeing Mrs. Tai's look of interest, Zhang Shou laughed and said: "Some things are consensual, even if people fall in love with me, I may not be happy." ”
"Then you mean, Yingying is better than Princess Yongping?"
Zhang Shou didn't expect Mrs. Tai to be so pressing, and after a moment of silence, he said calmly: "For me, in fact, it has never been difficult to accept such a thing as the words of the matchmaker from my parents, and I want to make my own decisions about my marriage." ”
In the face of such an arrogant and bold declaration, Mrs. Tai was stunned at first, and then the banter between her eyebrows gradually disappeared, replaced by the caution and scrutiny of a grandmother protecting her granddaughter; "You don't like Yingying?"
"When she first appeared, I was stunned and turned away, but I soon found it difficult to do. She is very real and beautiful, unlike a virtuous and virtuous puppet dummy, and after a long time together, no one will not be impressed, including me. ”
Calmly talking about the true feelings in his heart, Zhang Shou looked directly at Mrs. Tai's old and sharp eyes, and said word by word: "I don't want her to regret it in the future." So, I want her to see the real me more, and I want to see the real her more. If she still doesn't change her mind after seeing my true temperament and personality, then it's not too late to talk about the future. ”
"You...... To put it bluntly, you still need time, you don't want to get married so soon, but you just want to be free to spend time with Yingying. Mrs. Tai smiled dumbly, and when she saw Zhang Shou, who was still talking calmly just now, she was suddenly a little embarrassed, so she said calmly, "It's good for you to admit that you are attracted to Yingying, she really likes someone so easily, I don't want her to be wrong." ”
Just as she was acting like a loving grandmother, she suddenly changed her words and said: "Ah Shou, you accompanied Yingying last night, and you also took Erlang and Zhu Gongquan to Lu Mansion together, did you go to ask Lu Juan why he wanted to deal with Yingying and her father?" ”
When she was just ready to answer this question, Mrs. Tai was rambling, and now when Zhang Shou obviously had to face up to his mind because of her question, he was asked such a question, and it was impossible to say that he was not a little confused. After being stunned for a moment, he simply said calmly: "Yes, because Yingying said that she felt that she should grow up." ”
This is an expected answer, Mrs. Tai smiled slightly, and then asked rhetorically: "Then why did you persuade Erlang and let her persuade Zhu Gongquan?" It's very easy for you to convince Erlang, and her simple and crude methods may not be able to deter the old and sophisticated Zhu Gongquan, she doesn't understand, don't you understand if you're smart and clever? ”
"At that time, I felt that her method of intimidating Zhu Gongquan was a little inappropriate, but then I thought about it, so what? Even if Zhu Gongquan went to report to Lu Shangshu after entering the Lu Mansion, the second son should also see Lu Sanlang. Lu Shangshu would most likely invite me and Yingying into the mansion to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and at that time, we could just contact him head-on, and the result was as expected. ”
"Yingying is stupid and bold, you, you don't even persuade her, and still rely on her!" Mrs. Tai said that she was reproachful, but the smile on her face couldn't be hidden at all, "That's it, you two children hit each other by mistake, but you also broke the mystery of the secret letter, Lu Shangshu threw a mouse bogey, maybe some things will be put aside for the time being." ”
As she spoke, she stood up and saluted to Zhang Shou solemnly: "No matter what, I want to thank you." The best thing I've done these days is to send Yingying to the countryside. ”
Zhang Shou was slightly stunned, then he turned sideways to avoid it, and then returned the salute: "I have been able to worry about food and clothing over the years, and our mother and son have also benefited a lot, this time it was just a mistake, Mrs. Tai doesn't have to say thank you." It's ......."
He hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask, "The sack that Ah Liu brought back last night ......"
"Of course it's the sinking of Shichahai." Mrs. Tai said lightly as if nothing happened, and when she saw Zhang Shou's eyes widen suddenly, she smiled and said, "Coax you to play!" You were able to persuade Yingying to send Zhu Yu to Shuntian Mansion at the beginning, but now a staff member who betrays the master, what else is there to say? Didn't Yingying threaten Zhu Gongquan and be careful with the handle in the hands of the Zhu family? ”
"I sent him to the Shuntian Mansion, and there is evidence of his misappropriation of money and food in the past. Fortunately, he helped Yingying and her father deal with some trivial matters, and it did not involve private messages. The king has a lot of work, and I can only bother him. ”
Zhang Shou was suddenly dumbfounded, and deeply sympathized with the Shuntian Mansion Yin, who had been busy with many people recently. However, he soon realized that he sympathized with the wrong person, because Jiang's mother's voice came from outside the door.
"Mrs. Tai, someone from the Shuntian Mansion has come, and it is said that Wang Dayin summoned his uncle." Mother Jiang paused, and then added emphatically, "Wang Dayin said, 100,000 is urgent, my uncle will go to him to eat if he doesn't eat, and if he wants to sleep, he can also sleep." In short, he had to see someone in half an hour, or he would have come in person! He also sent a palanquin and waited outside the door. ”
