Chapter 756: Subjugation
Zhang Shou's marriage hypothesis is not long, but compared to a workaholic like Zhu Tingfang, it is already twice as much. However, even if Miss Zhu once boasted that she would never be greedy for love on her wedding night, it was too difficult for this young couple to stop in moderation after eating the marrow and knowing the taste.
So, on the day of returning to the door, after Zhu Ying entered the Zhao State Mansion, she obediently took a sedan chair to Qing'an Hall to see the elders. And Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang, who specially asked for leave to wait for the young couple at home, when they saw Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou coming in together, she actually yawned a little, and the faces of the father and son immediately changed.
Fortunately, before they did, Jiu Niang reproached: "Yingying, why are you trapped like this?" β
"I didn't sleep well!"
Zhu Ying subconsciously burst out four words, and when she realized what she said, even though she was as generous as she was in the past, she couldn't help but blush, and then said angrily: "Mother, I am a bride, and I have a lot of things to take care of at home, even Ah Shou's clothes today were picked out by me." Since I'm so busy, isn't it normal to be thirsty and sleepy? β
She said it vigorously, and everyone looked at Zhang Shou's red outfit, and then thought about Zhu Ying's consistent color preferences, of course they all knew that she should not be talking about it. However, no one believes that Zhu Ying is really because she has a lot of things, so she forgets to sleep and eat, you know, Zhu Ying is the person who can enjoy it the most, even if she is diligent, she will definitely have a degree.
found that the grandmother and mother looked at him with a smile, the father and the eldest brother were frowning and staring at Zhang Shou, the second brother was looking at her and then at Zhang Shou, the eyes were full of schadenfreude, and the sister-in-law Zhang wanted to laugh but didn't dare, Zhu Ying finally realized that her tired yawn, grandmother, mother and even sister-in-law should understand, and the second brother probably guessed.
As for dad and big brother...... That's two pieces of wood! Women like the loss mother and sister-in-law can marry them!
"Dad, big brother, isn't it just a yawn? Don't hold on to it, okay? Ah Shou is so good to me, and my mother-in-law is like a daughter to me, so don't worry! Zhu Ying had to glare angrily at her father and brother who had a rigid face, and then whispered angrily, "Newlywed Yan'er, isn't it normal to be thirsty and sleepy?" Probably you are the only ones in the world who don't know! β
Seeing Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang looking at them playfully, Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang realized that they were being ridiculed!
Whether Zhu Jing marries Yuan and Mrs. Deng, or Jiuniang, the continuation string, even if he has been in harmony with the piano, the husband sings and the wife follows, but moderation is the main theme.
As for Zhu Tingfang...... What he was most satisfied with about Zhang was undoubtedly that after getting married, she never tried to tie him down, or sent people around to inquire about his movements, and even in the two days when he lived in the yamen before, she only sent people to deliver clothes and food.
As for the methods he had heard of, sending maids to sleep or all sorts of explicit implications, they were completely none. In addition to having a wife who knows cold and hot, he only feels that everything is the same as when he was unmarried, which also makes him feel very comfortable.
Therefore, the two of them lack a deep understanding of the four words of bed and happiness - Zhu Jing probably knew a little more when he was an old husband and a young wife, but he has been separated from Jiuniang for so many years, and now that he is older, it is impossible to have a spring festival every day.
And although Zhu Er said that it was rare to see his father and brother who had always been strong, he wanted to laugh in his heart, but he finally knew that it was an absolute act of looking for death, so he just honestly shrank behind and watched his liveliness.
However, seeing that Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang began to pretend to be dumb, while Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang called Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying over to ask some questions, and even Zhang asked and asked there, he suddenly realized another question.
Except for Mrs. Tai, he is the only one here! There had never been such a moment, he felt that he was surrounded by the malice of married people, and the loneliness and desolation made him even more hope that his fiancΓ©e, who was a good wife and mother, would come through the door quickly!
Seeing Zhu Ying mention her life after the newlywed in front of Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang, it was more than usual, and the smile on her face never broke, Zhu Jing remembered that night after Zhu Tingfang returned from Zhang Yuan's wedding banquet, although her face was not so good-looking, but when she mentioned the grand occasion of the marriage, and Zhang Shou went back to the room early to accompany Zhu Ying, his rigid face finally gradually thawed.
Then, when he heard Zhang Shou mention that the emperor and the third prince had quietly come to the new house, and the emperor also mentioned the issue of having children, he pricked up his ears even more, until Zhu Ying rushed to say that answer for Zhang Shou, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether Zhu Ying is his biological daughter or not, he watched the baby girl who was like a little pink dumpling grow up, and watched her get married, so he naturally regarded her as his most beloved daughter.
On the contrary, it is Princess Yongping in the palace, so since she is the golden branch and jade leaf of the emperor, there is no need for him to worry. After all, unlike Zhu Ying, that girl who was too smart knew early on that she had to keep her distance from the Zhu family of the Duke of Zhao's mansion.
However, seeing that Zhu Ying was born in the country, glamorous in the capital, and even at the insistence of Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang, she married a man like Zhang Shou, although he was also entangled and opposed, but in the end he had to compromise. Now that she is really doing well, he is relieved, but he can't help but worry about the future.
You know, Mrs. Deng was a difficult birth, although she was barely saved, but she lost her body, and as a result, she was pregnant with Erlang Zhu Tingjie, and the doctor said that if she rashly had a baby, maybe the mother would also be greatly damaged, so when Mrs. Deng repeatedly insisted on giving birth to a child, he had to choose to take a risk.
In the end, although Mrs. Deng gave birth to her second son safely, she ran out of oil and died not long after. And after he waited for twenty-seven months to marry Jiu Niang, Jiu Niang encountered a rebellion from King Ye when she was pregnant with Liujia, and almost met with Concubine Yu. From then on, when he thought of the woman's delivery, he felt that it was a ghost door!
Therefore, without waiting for others to say anything in favor or against, Zhu Jing took the lead in saying: "A manly man should not only care about the love of his children, but should focus on his career." Although Yingying is a woman, since she had to meddle in the matter of women's education before, she couldn't give up halfway. As for having children, you are still young and don't have to worry at all. β
Zhu Jing said this, thinking of his early death biological mother, Zhu Tingfang naturally nodded in agreement.
And Zhang's mood at this time is simply ridiculous. As soon as she passed the door, her mother-in-law and mother-in-law all reminded her in private that the affairs of the heirs were just left to fate, and there was no need to force them. At the time, she thought that they were trying to relieve the pressure on her eldest daughter-in-law, but now it seems that ......
The Zhu family is really not in a hurry about the succession!
Zhang Shou saw that Zhu Ying's expression was simply crying and laughing, so he simply replied happily for his wife: "What my father-in-law said is very true, and the affairs of the children are just as good as fate." However, Zhao Guogong's Mansion has done two marriages in a row, and then it will be easier to handle Second Brother Zhu's next, so it will be much easier to be familiar with it. β
"His marriage can be done casually, and there is no need to be too extravagant." Zhu Jing habitually said casually, not noticing that his second son was already stiff at the moment.
Zhu Er really can't balance mentally. The marriage between the eldest brother and the younger sister is a grand scenery, how can I just do it casually? But Zhu Ying's next words made him feel ironed in his heart all of a sudden.
"What did you say, Dad? My second brother didn't pick it up, why should the marriage be done casually, and when we Zhao Guogongfu did two marriages, it would be empty of financial resources and no money! Besides, what will Wang Datou's niece think, will she think that we don't look down on their Wang family at all? Of course, you have to do it as beautifully as we do, big brother, don't you say? β
Seeing that his sister was directly involved with him, Zhu Tingfang suddenly smiled bitterly. Seeing that his father was completely silent, although he had always been very strict with Zhu Er, at this time, he still chose to stand on Zhu Er's side.
Or, in other words, on Zhu Ying's side. Because he knew that Zhu Ying would definitely be able to get the support of Mrs. Tai and Jiu Niang.
"What Yingying said is that the second brother can't be said to be unofficial and untitled after all, he got the favor very early because of his father, and he did something solid in Tongzhou before, if he can really promote those overseas crops, he doesn't have to compete with those idle noble sons and daughters for the future, and he doesn't have to fight for real swords and guns on the battlefield, and he has a bright future."
Zhu Tingfang paused as he spoke, and then said with some uncertainty: "Moreover, for a long time in the future, there may not be a battle to fight." Even if I do fight, I will be strong and strong, and I will never need to take the same risk as before. So, don't think that the second brother is unproductive, he has actually worked hard. β
When he said this, he didn't look at Zhu Er, and of course he didn't see his younger brother who always thought that he was picked up or adopted, and the expression that almost burst into tears at this time.
That's right, Zhu Er has never felt like this for a moment, his brothers and sisters are quite caring, and they can be towards him at critical moments.
And Zhang Shou didn't expect that Zhu Tingfang would gradually shift the topic to the future situation and war from Zhu Er's marriage. He secretly thought in his heart that Zhu Tingfang was probably because of the great victory in the Northern Expedition before, so he felt that he would not have to worry about foreign enemies for a while in the future.
However, Zhang Shou did not feel that the external threat had really been eradicated in stages. Although today's Mongolia is not the Ming Dynasty in history that was beaten back to the grassland, but there are still generations of Mongolian characters, it may not be revived.
The later Qing Dynasty used religion as a weapon very skillfully, but it was also a double-edged sword...... Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the enemy in the north is no longer a problem, even the Jurchens will not be able to rise, however, is there really no peace of mind without a foreign enemy?
Since the Manchu Dynasty and the three dynasties of Kang Yongqian, the external troubles have almost been cleaned up, and there is almost no wanton use of troops against foreign tribes. What kind of Tianli Sect White Lotus Sect can all come out and make a fuss, and finally after being beaten by a large number of foreign countries and learning to be a human again, isn't there another Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that has risen up and swept the entire southeast?
Dynasties have risen and fallen for hundreds of years, either from external enemies or from internal troubles, which is almost an iron law.
These were turned in his mind, however, when Zhu Ying and Zhu Tingfang expressed their opinions one after another, even Zhang said with a smile that he would definitely try his best to help organize Zhu Er's marriage, but Zhang Shou said calmly: "Second Brother Zhu's marriage, it is natural to handle it well, but after the Chinese New Year next year, Wang Zongxian may come back." He may not be able to see extravagance as a person. β
Seeing Zhu Er's sudden change of color, he said with a smile: "Therefore, if you want to be luxurious but not extravagant, at least you can't let the famous Wang Datou pick on the thorns, then you need to have a little more characteristics." For example, isn't Second Brother Zhu a good farmer? So, how many people have published many well-known agricultural books over the years? Can you please come? β
"From north to south, have those farming facilities improved over the years? Who did it improve, ordinary peasants, or magistrates or former magistrates who worked on farmland and water conservancy? Can you pay a visit? Please come to your wedding reception? β
Zhang Shou still remembers the Ming Dynasty's set of masterpieces "Heavenly Creations". However, even if people are not fanned by butterfly wings, they are never born now. And Xu Guangqi, another cattle man who was born more than 20 years earlier than Song Yingxing, doesn't even have a shadow at this time, and the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" must be a shadowless thing, how can he not be tempted?
Even if he couldn't read these two sets of books in their entirety, at most there were very few small fragments of them, but he really wanted to summarize these things in this era, so that these two great works could come out early.
As for waiting until a hundred years later, if those two really appear in this world, they will definitely not feel that they have been robbed of the limelight. Because gold doesn't lose its value because of another piece of gold!
Therefore, seeing that Zhu Er's spirits were greatly lifted, and the rest of the Zhu family had different faces, Zhang Shou slowly moved out the idea of asking Zhu Er to find someone to compile the complete book of peasants and workers together. At this moment, Zhu Erna simply pounced directly like a wolf, and hugged Zhang Shou's arm, which simply felt that people were closer than their own fathers.
"Brother-in-law, you are so good, you are really my savior!"
Seeing that Zhu Er was in such a situation, Zhang Shi thought that the girl who had married her before quietly told her that Zhu Er was the most disgusted with Zhang Shou at the beginning, but since she reluctantly became Zhang Shou's student in Banshan Hall, she suddenly changed her appearance, and she couldn't help but secretly remind herself of it. No matter what happens in the future, she can't look down on the little uncle and the future concubine.
And Zhu Ying smiled and saw Zhu Er pestering Zhang Shou there to ask for advice, she couldn't help but look forward to being complacent, and she couldn't wait to be announced to everyone on the street, that is, my Zhu Ying's husband, who can rule all kinds of disobedience with his own strength! Look at the helpless faces of my father and eldest brother at this time...... They have always been helpless against the second brother, but now the second brother has really been subdued!
