Chapter 389: Ventilating the news, unexpected joy
Lu Sanlang's sudden visit was indeed a surprise to the Zhu family.
Although in the past, when Zhu Er regarded himself as the pillar of the Zhu family and decided to marry his sister to Lu Sanlang, a friend who seemed to be quite reliable, Lu Sanlang used to be a guest here, but after Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying's marriage was almost ironclad, he always tried to avoid coming here when he was fine, so as not to arouse resentment in the hearts of others.
Therefore, at this time, Mrs. Tai looked at Lu Sanlang, who had not come to the door for a long time, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Sanlang, you are rare, what kind of wind blew you here today?" ”
What the wind...... Evil wind! Lu Sanlang sighed in his heart, and then said honestly: "Mrs. Tai forgive me, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I don't dare to come here to annoy people, but today I am really in a hurry." ”
He didn't dare to delay, and repeated Zhu Ying's words to him in a few words, and even Zhu Ying persuaded himself to change the old place where fox friends and dogs met into the school of Jiuzhangtang, but he didn't hide it. As for Jiu Niang's scrutinizing gaze on the side, he could only selectively ignore it, and told himself in his heart, anyway, I am not her son-in-law, not her son-in-law......
Fortunately, in his imagination, the scene of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thundering did not happen. Mrs. Tai just sat there quietly, with a fugue posture, as if Zhu Ying was not provoking an elder, but an inconsequential person. And Jiu Niang was still looking him up and down, as if she was more interested in him as a person than in Zhu Ying's upcoming actions.
After holding it for a while, Lu Sanlang could only cough dryly, and said very sincerely: "Mrs., madam, it's still too late to stop the eldest lady, while she hasn't come yet, ......"
"Why stop her?" Mrs. Tai smiled, and then said lightly, "The tiger is not harmful, but the human is harmful to the tiger's heart." Our Zhu family didn't provoke his surname Jiang, but he repeatedly provoked us, even the future son-in-law didn't let go, at this time, Yingying went out to scold him *** A few words, what's wrong? ”
Lu Saburo was dumbfounded. This is...... Does this mean not only not to stop it, but to see it happen?
And when he looked at Jiu Niang, he saw that Jiu Niang also sneered contemptuously: "According to Yingying's temper, if you don't break the door of his Jiang family, it will already be very restrained, not to mention saying two words that are not wrong in public!" Even if her father came back and found out, he wouldn't blame her. In the future, the emperor will blame us, as for others, they have not yet blamed her qualifications! ”
Lu Saburo couldn't help but wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, not knowing if it was hot or scared. But he thought about how unpopular he was with his father at the beginning, but when it came to the end, his father still defended him, and now the attitude of the Zhu family is not strange. But the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't suppress another thought, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"You two know the temper of the eldest lady, I know, and many people outside know it, but ...... But after all, the emperor threw a son into Zongzheng Temple this time, even if the emperor didn't like the eldest prince in the past, would he still have a feeling of necessity? In this way, it is inevitable that this breath will be poured on other people's heads......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the faces of Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang became very peculiar. He didn't know where this strangeness came from, but the feeling of his mood just now gradually disappeared. Because he finally tasted it, the Zhu family seemed to be very calm, and that calmness seemed to feel that the emperor definitely favored Zhu Ying more than the eldest prince.
Although it is true that it is a fact that outsiders have always believed in their hearts, this confidence is too much!
Jiuniang smiled and said: "For people like us, it is a habit to protect the short, but it also depends on whether it is worth protecting the short." is like Erlang, even if he used to be a bastard at home, as long as he didn't do anything wrong outside, then if he was bullied, his father would never spare that guy! ”
"Just like you, Lu Shangshu will protect you, and you have already turned back as a prodigal son before. Secondly...... Hehe, even if you had a bad reputation in the past, you never ran rampant, fish and meat people, right? Compared with a small nonsense and an unforgivable sin, parents should always distinguish between right and wrong, and the emperor's character is even more so. The emperor has always been a jealous and hateful person. ”
Mrs. Tai also sighed in a low voice: "Being in the emperor's house, in fact, this kind of character of not rubbing sand in his eyes is very important, after all, if the water is clear, there are no fish, and if people are observed, there are no disciples." Of course, the emperor doesn't need any partners, but the people who want to use them can't all have a clear breeze on their sleeves, clear as water, and as clear as a mirror, which is only found in the legend of the book. But his own son is greedy for profit and harms the people, how can he bear it? ”
Lu Sanlang suddenly realized this, but when the words came to his mouth, he quickly swallowed them back, because he remembered the black history of the royal family in the past.
The emperor should have seen enough of it, and he knows the consequences of his sons not being raised, so as long as the eldest prince is not framed, the emperor will at least never be angry. Of course, if it is an ordinary person, it is inevitable that they will be involved in the big guy's fighting, but this time it was Zhu Tingfang and Zhang Shou who went to Cangzhou!
So, he quickly stood up and said deeply: "It turns out that I want to diverge, thank you Mrs. Tai and Mrs. for your teaching." ”
"I can't talk about teaching or anything, it's just that your kid has a good heart, and he hurried to report this letter, and it's hard for you." Mrs. Tai looked at Lu Sanlang with a smile, and then said kindly, "When I wait for you to marry your daughter-in-law, I will definitely ask Yingying to give you a heavy gift, even if it is the girl of the Liu family, she will also bother to buy a gift for adding a box." ”
"Your marriage must be done in a beautiful way, and it will also make your mother happy. In the past, she was really heartbroken for your little son! ”
Lu Sanlang didn't expect Mrs. Tai to make fun of herself, even though his skin has always been thicker than pigskin, he couldn't help blushing slightly, but he still salivated and said, "Then I will thank Mrs. Tai in advance." ”
Jiuniang was stunned, and when Lu Sanlang retired, she suddenly said: "I was just about to enter the palace to see Concubine Yu, and I will send you to the door by the way, I have two words to tell you." ”
Lu Sanlang was about to say that he didn't dare to send Mrs. Lao off, but when he heard that it was a stopper, he said that he had something to say, so he hurriedly agreed. When he came out of Qing'an Hall, he knew that this Mrs. Zhao Guo had always been known for her hard temper, and she was an elder, so of course she didn't dare to peep casually, until he heard her faint voice, he looked up in amazement.
"Although Da Lang Erlang is not my own child, one is both civil and military, with a strong personality, and the other is a weak character who has achieved nothing, but his nature is to take care of his family. You used to be good friends with Erlang, and you had his blue eyes, and you almost married Yingying, although this thing is really funny, but you didn't harm him after all, and now you have become a student of Ah Shou, which can be regarded as a fate. ”
Hearing these words of turning over the old accounts, Lu Saburo couldn't help but sweat behind his back, and he didn't know how to answer at all, and after being shocked, he could only laugh dryly. However, when he heard Jiu Niang's next words, he was suddenly stunned, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Ah Shou and Yingying have both mentioned that you are quite smart in business, although your mother is very partial to your young son, and from time to time she will supplement you a little more, but you still have two brothers to watch, and you can't give them to you one by one. In the future, if you have any business or industry to do, but you are short of money, you don't have enough money, and you can't ask for help elsewhere, I can lend it to you. Anyway, my money is a waste at the bottom of the box. ”
Lu Sanlang almost stammered a little even when he spoke: "I...... I appreciate Madame's kindness, but ...... Ahem, no, I mean, Mr. Little is your son-in-law......"
Jiuniang seemed to be amused by Lu Sanlang's incoherent words, and immediately said with a smile: "Are you still afraid that your little gentleman will run out of money?" As long as he opens his mouth, even Jinshan Yinshan Yingying is eager to move him over, but he refuses. And he has too many ideas, although you have a small savings and industry, Zhang Chen is willing to fully support him, but sometimes, it is still not enough. ”
How smart is Lu Saburo? He immediately understood in seconds, and dared to love because Zhang Shou was too backbone, and he didn't want to accept the excessive support of the Zhu family in terms of money, so Jiuniang was afraid that people would support him, so he hit the idea on his head, hoping that when Zhang Shou needed support, he would not be polite, and come directly to her to ask for money, and then he would use his own name to support the teacher!
If this is Zhang Shou, he may try to prevaricate at this time, but who is he?
He is the one who can take advantage of the situation! He is a person who does not take advantage of his heart and does not die! He is the person who is not afraid of being scolded!
So, Lu Sanlang suddenly laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed: "It turns out that this is what you mean, madam." That's a good idea, as long as Mr. Xiao has any needs, I will definitely be the first to report to you and discuss with you. With my thin arms and legs, I really didn't support him enough, and my mother couldn't move the whole family to me, so my brothers felt that she was biased. ”
"Zhang Chen's words are good, but in fact, he doesn't have to rely on his father to pay for it......"
Jiuniang saw that Lu Sanlang promised sonorously and powerfully, but the words were chattering, and the sound outside the strings was that he was more reliable than Zhang Chen. She couldn't help but smile, and then said casually: "It's okay if you agree, if you don't agree, maybe I'll have to go to your mother and your future mother-in-law to discuss." Okay, you go, I'll go into the palace. ”
When Lu Sanlang saw Jiu Niang boarding the sedan chair, he was relieved - although he didn't think that Jiu Niang would go to his wife to complain, but he was very sure that people had investigated his net worth. But how much private money he has, so he doesn't plan to tell his mother and future daughter-in-law, including his mother-in-law. As a man, if you go back and withdraw a little money, you still have to find a woman, is it a shame to be ashamed?
Jiu Niang's words teased Lu Sanlang like a rising cloud, sometimes like falling into a quagmire, but she didn't feel that she was doing anything wrong. Not to mention that Zhang Shou is the son of her benefactor Widow Zhang, even for Zhu Ying, she will do the same.
However, she did not immediately enter the palace to see Concubine Yu as she claimed, but shortly after leaving the front street, she asked the guards who followed the car: "Can you find out where Yingying is now?" ”
The guard was a little embarrassed and said: "You should be able to find it, but first, you have to ask around, and second, you have to see if the people around the eldest lady have left secret marks, the capital is so big, I'm afraid it will take at least half an hour." ”
"Then spend half an hour looking for it." Jiu Niang gently knocked on the car window with her knuckles and said word by word, "If I can't find it by then, then it's not too late for me to enter the palace again." "She has to ask Zhu Ying about her plan first!
Although Jiu Niang only brought more than ten guards, in a place like the capital, the sign of Zhao Guogong's Mansion can naturally make idlers retreat, and Jiu Niang is actually not a weak female stream, so she found a small teahouse to take a break, leaving only one guard and a mother to serve by her side, and the rest were sent out.
She has been sitting and drinking tea, seemingly unhurried, but she is actually very anxious in her heart. Even if Mrs. Tai has a calm attitude, and she doesn't object to Zhu Ying going out to make a big deal out of it, what she is worried about is that if Zhu Ying is too impertinent, it will be bad.
She waited and waited until she could no longer sit still, and at last she heard the sound of the hoofs of galloping horses. She breathed a sigh of relief as a figure leapt off her horse outside the teahouse and strode in.
"Ma'am." The guard only had time to give up his hand, and he didn't even bother to take a breath, so he hurriedly said, "The eldest lady scolded a few scholars who talked about praising Jiang Ge Lao and belittling Lu Shangshu in the Tianxia Taiping Building on Qipan Street, and the entire downstairs was full of onlookers!" ”
That's why he found it so easily! Fortunately, according to the temper of the eldest lady, he went directly to those places near the imperial city!
Jiu Niang suddenly couldn't react - according to what Lu Sanlang told her, shouldn't Zhu Ying ask a few close friends in her boudoir and then release some words? Why is this a scholar again? Her daughter is really doing things as she wants! However, it is more effective to pick these readers who tend to be inflammatory-attached as targets......
As Lu Sanlang reported to Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang, Zhu Ying has always been a character who does what she says, and when she asked people to invite those close friends in the boudoir, she chose the side of Qipan Street, which happened to be able to see the Tianxia Taiping Tower in the square in front of the imperial city.
Originally, no shops were allowed in this kind of place, but there are exceptions to everything.
That's right, this wine shop with a clear meaning of prayer was inscribed by Grandpa Taizu himself!
If Zhang Shou was here, he would have to complain again, however, Zhu Ying felt that this place was very appropriate and met her own requirements - and the most entertained person here was the You Bachelor, and it was easy to make things bigger.
However, there is a good saying - plans can't keep up with change! Just after Zhu Ying picked a private seat box and expressed her satisfaction with the set of special porcelain sent by the store with a smile, she heard the chatter of a group of scholars next door.
"Jiang Ge Lao has worked hard to manage state affairs for many years, and he has worked hard without merit, and he is just a loyal minister and a good minister, plus since ancient times, he has established a long line, and the eldest prince has just been deceived by traitors, so he has made a small mistake, how can he be beaten to death with a stick? It is even more unreasonable to sin the prince and not the people! If traitors like Zhang Shou and Zhu Tingfang are allowed to continue to deceive the public, then there will be no salvation in this world! ”
