When he came to the corner of the corridor, Ming Jia Dingbo vaguely heard a man and a woman talking? He held his pace and listened carefully, and found that the man was discussing the matter of accommodation? The woman blindly excused herself: "I'm not sure if I can hold this for a long time!" However, it is still possible to stay for a few days. ”

As soon as the words fell, Jia Dingbo walked over, and he was startled when he saw it! Almost didn't fall him down, he trembled and pointed at the man in front of him and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you, why did you run out of the palace!" ”

I saw the crown prince of Ming: Zhu Cihong, and said respectfully, "Grandpa, can Hong'er live with you?" ”

This makes Ming Jia Dingbo feel very strange? He thought to himself; Living here? Could it be that the rogues drove him out? Or did you escape? But no matter what, after all, it's his grandson, and it makes sense if he doesn't take it in.

Just when he hesitated, his two sons, the eldest son: Zhou Pingjiang and the second son: Zhou Pingliang, happened to come back from the market, and as soon as they entered the mansion, they said, "Dad, it's not good!" Yes.... ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw the little sister: Zhou Yu, there was a young boy standing next to him, and Zhou Pingjiang asked, "Little sister, who is this next to you?" ”

At this time, Ming Jiadingbo introduced: "He is the crown prince of His Majesty today, your nephew. ”

Knowing that the young man in front of them was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they were so scared that they jumped! The two of them hurriedly pulled the little sister over and discussed, "Why did you bring him into the house?" Don't you know that the rogues are arresting people related to the imperial court everywhere now? ”

But the little sister didn't think so, but said with her conscience, "He is the biological son of the second sister, your own nephew, even if there are rogues outside who want to arrest him, so what?" Doesn't our dignified Zhou Mansion have a family to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Besides, as long as his identity is not revealed. ”

Having said that, they still felt that they had to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leave, otherwise they would cause death to the Zhou Mansion.

However, Ming Jiadingbo, who was standing in front of the Ming Crown Prince, was embarrassed to let his grandson go directly, so he pretended to say, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you must have been hungry all the way to the palace, right?" Come to the old minister, let the family prepare a banquet for entertainment. ”

Then he invited the crown prince to go to the front hall for dinner, and before leaving, he deliberately instructed his subordinates to prepare some coarse tea and light rice, so as to appear that he was more honest.

When the crown prince came to the front hall, what was in front of him was a bowl of cabbage and tofu soup, two meatloafs, and a steamed egg, just that! This is undoubtedly a huge blow to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming, who has lived in the East Palace all the year round and is accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.

At the moment he was thinking to himself; If it weren't for the surrender of Chengguo Gong, there would be no need for him to come to his grandfather's house, I thought that my grandfather would be kind enough to take him in, but in the end, he served such a table of dishes for himself!

The most pitiful thing is that Ming Jia Dingbo also looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and said with a smile: "This is the usual dish in the old minister's mansion, and please take care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" There is not much savings in the old minister's mansion, and the money and food are not thick! Otherwise, you will have to take out the silver taels to recruit troops to defend against the rogues. ”

Watching his grandfather's self-absorbed performance of how loyal and patriotic he was! This made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming feel too fake, he forcibly finished eating, then got up and saluted, "Since there is not much food in my grandfather's mansion!" Then it's inconvenient to bother Lonely, so I will say goodbye and thank my grandfather for his hospitality. ”

In this way, the crown prince turned around and walked outside the house, and the uncle and second uncle of His Royal Highness the crown prince sitting next to him directly covered their mouths and snickered, and the national abbot Ming Jiadingbo had some internal entanglement, so he had to get up and say in shame and said, "Your Royal Highness the crown prince, are you leaving?" Actually, Lao Chen didn't mean that! ”

But the crown prince of Ming still had the same face as his father, Emperor Ming Yizong, he stopped and said, "Grandfather's kindness, I have received it alone!" But I have decided to leave! ”

So Ming Jia Dingbo didn't continue to persuade, only the crown prince's little aunt ran over to stop the Ming crown prince, and patiently persuaded him, "Your Royal Highness the crown prince, where are you going to go now that there is chaos outside?" ”

He didn't think about this, so the crown prince had to refuse, "Thank you for your concern, I have a place to go!" My father had entrusted Gu to make Gu Li work hard, and work together with local officials to regain the lost land and revitalize the Daming Mountains and Rivers, since my grandfather didn't have this intention, then now it's time for Gu to go south to Nanzhili! ”

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insisted on leaving, Zhou Yuqian reluctantly untied his wallet and handed it over, saying, "There are some broken silver here, which can be enough for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and you will arrive at Nanzhili's entanglement." ”

Sure enough, at the critical time, it was his little aunt who felt the most sorry for himself, and he couldn't help but cry and said, "Thank you, little aunt!" Lone said goodbye. ”

After speaking, she left without looking back, looking at the back of her nephew leaving, Zhou Yujian was a little reluctant, and she sent a few steps until she saw her nephew walking through the attic and arriving at the door of the mansion.

At this moment, Dashun Ruhou, who rode to the gate of Wu's mansion, motioned to the soldiers to knock on the door with his eyes, and his soldiers walked up to knock on the door very rudely, "Open the door, open the door, open the door quickly!" ”

After about a few knocks on the door, the housekeeper came over and shouted, "Come on!" Who are you? Looking at the uninvited guest wearing armor outside the door, the family was a little flustered, and he hurriedly said, "What are you doing here?" ”

The soldier who knocked on the door asked, "Is the former Ming Jingying Admiral in the palace?" His Majesty the Emperor of Dashun wants to meet him. ”

The family thought they were going to capture the commander of the Ming Jingying camp and kill them? So he deliberately said, "Well, my family is not in the house!" Come back another day! ”

Seeing this scene, Dashun Ruhou on horseback was a little unhappy, he quickly dismounted and came over and knocked on the door: "Open the door quickly!" Our Emperor Dashun specially invited the Admiral of Jingying to go to the palace to entertain him, and open the door quickly, otherwise Bugu will break in! ”

The overwhelmed family member was a little embarrassed, he glanced around and picked up a wooden stick.

At this moment, the commander of the Ming Jingying camp walked out, and he asked, "Who is knocking on the door?" ”

Jia Ding turned around and replied, "Lord Admiral, it's the rogue general!" They were going to break in and get you, but the little ones didn't let them in for fear of hurting the innocent. ”

However, the commander of the Ming Jingying felt that he would still come after all, and he couldn't hide! So he asked the family to open the door of the mansion and let the generals in, and the Dashun Ruhou who swaggered into the door was very arrogant and saluted, "Oh! Your Majesty, Your Majesty has invited your family to live in the capital! Pack up now and get ready to go! ”

At this time, three women dressed in charming and moving clothes came from the back garden and said, "Master! Who are they? Why do they all look like this? ”

The admiral of the Ming Jingying camp, who was afraid of offending people, hurriedly suppressed and said, "The person who comes is a guest, and the ladies must not be unreasonable!" ”

Dashun Ruhou next to him looked at these three watery-looking ladies, and his heart was instantly overjoyed, he couldn't help but reach forward and wanted to touch their hands, but suddenly stopped?

I saw a woman looking behind the three ladies, and she seemed to have noticed something before she quickly retracted her head and turned around to walk away.

This made Dashun Ruhou, who couldn't help but be curious, chased after him, and he stepped forward and grabbed the hand of the woman wearing the "waist-length skirt dress", and said, "Girl, stay!" ”

The frightened woman turned her skirt to hold up her steps, quickly covered her face with her sleeves, and said very shyly, "My lord, the folk girl accidentally disturbed you!" That's it. ”

At this moment, the commander of the Ming Jingying camp, who was standing behind him, hurriedly walked over and said, "Lord Ruhou, she is the daughter-in-law of the old man, please forgive me if you are offended!" The circle quickly retreated. ”

However, looking at her graceful figure and walking posture, I still can't help but make Dashun Ruhou want to take a look! He deliberately snatched the woman's handkerchief, let her go and let her walk a few steps before he said, "Girl, your handkerchief has fallen!" ”

The woman was a little excited when she heard this, and hurriedly turned around, which instantly made Dashun Ruhou's eyes shine, and the woman came over and picked up the handkerchief and turned around and ran, but Dashun Ruhou still stood motionless, as if he was frozen in God, in fact, in his mind, he had already imagined that his heart was gone with this beautiful and beautiful woman!

The accompanying soldiers of the Shun army also drooled when they saw it, but the three ladies glanced at it and whispered, "Look at her, this little fox spirit, she is still so fascinated!" Didn't you just look at us? ”

The commander of the Ming Jingying is a little unhappy! He looked at his wife, walked over and patted Dashun Ruhou on the shoulder and shouted twice, seeing that there was no reaction? He shook his hand in front of his eyes, but he still didn't react, so he coughed calmly, "The old man's daughter-in-law has gone away." ”

Only then did Dashun Ruhou react, and he hurriedly asked, "Let's go, where is she going?" Dare to ask who is the daughter-in-law of the Admiral? ”

In order to protect his daughter-in-law's reputation, of course, he refused to tell the truth, and the three ladies were the eldest lady (not Wu Xiang's wife), she first said, "She! It is a famous prostitute who is one of the eight Yans of Qinhuai in the south of the Yangtze River, a person from Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, formerly known as: Xing Yuan, just because his family is poor and has nothing to eat! So her parents sent her to her aunt Chen's house, so she changed her surname to Chen, name: Yuanyuan. ”

Then the second lady continued: "Chen Yuanyuan is in the mansion of his uncle, who is in business, because he is smart from Xiaoice Xue and knows a little poetry and songs, so the uncle-in-law who values profit and light righteousness sold Chen Yuanyuan to Suzhou Liyuan (Zhou Jiaban), which is today's Guozhang Jiading Bo Zhou. ”

Then the third lady said, "Chen Yuanyuan first appeared on the stage, playing the role of the matchmaker in "The Legend of the West Chamber", the person is as beautiful as a flower, like a cloud out of Xiu, the sound of the warbler, and the audience can see the audience holding their breath, and they are fascinated one by one, and they are fascinated by the magic very deeply, so she is famous in Jiangnan, she also followed Wu Jiang and Gongsheng: Mao Xiang, the former military governor's mansion Zuodu Governor Tian, until the father-in-law was taken to the capital by the queen's mother, and met Tian to set up a banquet for my uncle, so that the eldest uncle fell in love at first sight, and had to marry her as a concubine. ”

After listening to their explanations, the commander of the Ming Jingying was obviously extremely angry on his face, and he frowned and shouted, "Madame, you can't shut your mouths!" Hurry back to your room. ”

Dashun Ruhou, who heard the news, decided to find a way to get this woman, and he first said routinely, "My Emperor said it!" Now that the former Ming Dynasty has been extinguished, all the imperial relatives and civil and military officials in Beijing, as long as they sincerely surrender to Dashun, we welcome them! It's just that...? ”

Seeing him pause, the commander of the Ming Jing camp asked, "Just what?" ”

Dashun Ruhou continued: "It's just that although the Admiral has surrendered to Dashun, the general soldier of Ning Yuanwei, who has made the prince dignified, am afraid that he still holds the military power and refuses to surrender!" Therefore, His Majesty Emperor Dashun said that you should write a letter to Ning Yuanwei, and ask him to lead the troops to surrender to my Dashun, and then the family will be happy and happy, wouldn't it be beautiful? ”

Originally, the commander of the Ming Jingying had no intention of surrendering to the Liukou, after all, he was also a person trusted by the Great Tomorrow, how could he surrender easily? And he himself has been the governor of the Beijing army to fight against the rogues, if he surrenders, I'm afraid he will be plotted by the rogues? If you don't surrender, your family's lives will be in danger! After weighing the pros and cons left and right, the governor of the Ming Jingying camp finally decided to surrender to Dashun.
