Chapter 361 Uncle
Although the married life is very happy, Li Yuanyin is very considerate to Zhu Yu, but Zhu Yu is still a little sad when he gets married without the blessing of his parents. Seeing Zhu Yu like this, Li Yuanyin had no choice but to comfort Zhu Yu with kind words.
This morning, Li Yuanyin and Li Chengdong went to the barracks outside the city early in the morning, Li Chengdong, as a warlord in the late Ming Dynasty, naturally knew the importance of guns, and had to stay in the barracks for half a day every day.
After Li Chengdong's father and son left, Zhu Yu became the owner of the Li Mansion, he stayed in the house to hold his breath, and took the maid ring out to relax. This is not Guangzhou, Zhu Yu has no relatives and friends, no girlfriends and handkerchiefs, only a few maids around him can talk.
Zhu Yu was thinking about his thoughts while walking, and when he passed by the bamboo forest in the back garden, a person suddenly popped out of it.
The maid in front saw a person wearing family clothes, thinking that the family in the front yard had strayed into the backyard, and scolded angrily: "You guy, you can also come in the backyard?" Don't get out yet, be careful that the master comes back and breaks your legs! "This is still that Yahuan's kindness, Li Chengdong is cruel and easy to kill, if he really knows that a family member enters the backyard without permission, he can really kill his whole family.
The family didn't listen to what Yahuan said, and shouted to Zhu Yu in front of him: "Xiao Yu'er, it's me, I'm your uncle!" ”
Zhu Yu's mother is Dong Zhen, and his grandmother is Tong Yangjia's house-filler, so Tong Tuchang said that it was Zhu Yu's uncle.
Zhu Yu in the back was stunned, his uncle? Look up, isn't this Tong Tuchang from Guangdong? Zhu Yu always went to Tong Mansion to visit his grandmother, so he naturally recognized this cheap uncle.
Seeing his mother's family, Zhu Yu was overjoyed, and quickly pushed away the maid ring in front of him, and said, "Uncle, why are you here?" ”
When Yahuan heard that it was really the young lady's uncle and grandfather, she quickly dodged away and stood aside.
Tong Tuchang said: "Princess, the old minister finally saw you, I was sent by His Majesty the Emperor to visit the princess!" ”
Zhu Yu asked suspiciously, "Princess?" What princess? ”
"Princess, you don't know yet, Your Majesty has named you Princess Yuyang! The third prince, Zhu Huai, is the king of Chu! ”
Zhu Yu has been in Fuzhou for half a year, and this is the first time he has received news from home, so he hurriedly asked, "Uncle, how are my father and mother and concubine?" How are my grandmother and grandfather doing? ”
Tong Yangjia hurriedly said: "His Majesty the Emperor and Concubine Zhen are all well, but Concubine Zhen misses the princess and has been sick for more than a month, and now her body has improved!" ”
Hearing that his mother was sick for himself, Zhu Yu slowly knelt down in the direction of Guangzhou in the south, and cried: "Father, mother, daughter is not filial!" I can't be with you! ”
Tong Tuchang came in and had something important to do, so he could wait here for Zhu Yu to cry, seeing Zhu Yu like this, he hurriedly said on the side: "Princess, don't be sad, the old minister has important things to do when he comes to see the princess!" ”
When Zhu Yu heard that there was something else, he stopped crying, stood up and asked, "Uncle, what else is going on?" ”
Tong Tuchang looked at the maid rings, pulled Zhu Yu away, and whispered: "Princess, His Majesty the Emperor misses the princess and decides to exempt Li Chengdong from the sins of his father and son, as long as Li Chengdong is in Fujian anyway, he will be named the king of Jianning County, and the princess's husband Li Yuanyin will be the prince of the county and the concubine, and he can also get the blessing of His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
Zhu Yu was overjoyed when he heard Tong Tuchang say this, what is more important to a little woman than a happy marriage and a happy family? In the past, Zhu Yu thought that Li Chengdong and his father and son had no possibility of easing, but now that he gets this news, it is possible for him to return to Guangzhou to see the family he misses again.
Zhu Yu hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what should I do?" ”
"It's very simple, please ask the princess to arrange for me to meet with the colt, and I will convince them!"
Zhu Yu nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, Boyu went to the military camp outside the city, and it looks like he is coming back, my uncle is waiting in the back house now, and when Boyu comes back, I will introduce my uncle to him on the spot!" ”
Tong Tuchang was overjoyed, as long as he saw that Li Yuanyin had everything to say, Tong Tuchang felt that it was no problem to persuade Li Yuanyin with his three-inch tongue.
"Okay, princess, please arrange for someone to go to the backyard and tell Lao Li that I was brought in by him, and I am afraid that he will be in danger if I don't go out for a long time!"
This is very simple, Zhu Yu sent a maid to find the housekeeper and asked him to tell Lao Li that his friend was left in the backyard to do some work, and let Lao Li finish his work and go back on his own.
Zhu Yu took Tong Tuchang back to his room and said, "Uncle, you are waiting in the back room now, Boyu will be back in a while!" ”
is similar to what Zhu Yu said, Tong Tuchang waited for less than half an hour, and Li Yuanyin came back.
Li Yuanyin was in a very bad mood today, and he and his father Li Chengdong went to the military camp outside the city. Now Li Chengdong has a total of 50,000 troops in his hands, this is not those beggars and Ming troops in the Southern Ming Dynasty, these 50,000 people are the essence of Gao Jie back then, and they all followed Gao Jie to be born and died in the Central Plains for many years. Now he finally has a piece of territory in Fujian where he can have the final say, so Li Chengdong assigned his old brothers to various parts of Fujian to be officials.
But he didn't expect that after the Manchu governor Tong Guonai arrived, he drove Li Chengdong's people back on the grounds that the people sent by Li Chengdong could not govern the locality. Today, Li Chengdong and Li Yuanyin, father and son, went to the barracks to appease their old brothers.
Looking at the tragic situation of his old brother, Li Chengdong was also very annoyed, but he couldn't help it, now that he had surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, could he still be treacherous again and be a slave with three surnames like Lu Bu?
On the way back, Li Yuanyin talked to Li Chengdong again about the matter anyway, Li Chengdong looked at the surrounding guards and pro-army, sighed and said: "Boyu, there was no way to take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time, at that time, you also saw that Nanming was not vulnerable at all, and surrendering for his father was also to find a way out for these old brothers, after all, they have followed Brother Gao for many years, do they have to wander all over the world when they are old?" ”
"But father, now Tong Guonai is bullying us too much, and he won't give us a single county order, what's the point of staying here in the Manchu Qing like this?"
"But where else can we go? Do you want to go back to Nanming again? Not to mention whether Nanming can block the Manchu Iron Cavalry, is what our father and son did in Guangzhou, do you think that Emperor Shenwu can spare our grandfather? ”
Li Yuanyin sighed in his heart, this is a fact, his father and son killed Zhu Hongsan's wife and snatched his daughter, this feud is really unsolvable.
Thinking of Zhu Yu, Li Yuanyin's heart warmed, and he was still very satisfied with his wife. Zhu Yu received a full set of traditional education when he was a child, and although the Dong sisters were concubines back then, their backgrounds in large families were there. Zhu Yu was educated by them to be generous and knowledgeable, which was completely different from Zhu Luo, who fought every day.
Li Chengdong looked at Li Yuanyin with a smirk and scolded: "Boyu, don't fall into Gentle Township like you!" ”
Li Yuanyin was told by his father, his old face turned red, and he said: "Let my father laugh!" ”
Li Chengdong nodded and said: "Boyu, you know that I can't have children, you are just like my own son, after I die, these old brothers will ask you, don't let them suffer!" ”
Hearing Li Chengdong say these words, Li Yuanyin asked: "Father, why did he say such an unlucky thing?" ”
"Hey! Kid, you don't know, I think Tong Guonai is not kind to me, and he is very likely to attack me! ”
"Father, then let's kill Tong Guonai, no, my son will accompany you to the grass!"
Li Chengdong shook his head and didn't speak, just now in the barracks Li Chengdong saw his old brothers, they are all in their forties, many of them have already married families, and it is really unbearable for them to go to death with themselves. In addition, Li Chengdong saw that although these old brothers scolded Tong Guonai, none of them had the intention to kill Tong Guonai, so they all asked Li Chengdong to go to Tong Guonai and raise his noble hand and let himself live. Li Chengdong also knew that these old brothers were tired of fighting and killing, and even if he proposed to be the king of the mountain, few of these people could follow.
After entering the city, Li Chengdong asked Li Yuanyin to go home first, he was going to the governor's yamen to see Tong Guonai, no matter what he said, he had to ask for an explanation for his old brother.
Li Yuanyin returned to his home with the guards and soldiers, of course, first to see his wife Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu saw that Li Yuanyin was back, and hurriedly took Yahuan out to greet him.
Li Yuanyin took off his armor while serving Zhu Yu and Yahuan, sat down and took a sip of tea, and asked, "What is Madam doing today?" ”
Seeing that the opportunity came, Zhu Yu sighed and said, "What else can you do?" The concubine is relaxing in the back garden, and no one knows anyone in Fuzhou, where else can she go? ”
Li Yuanyin also knew that Zhu Yu missed his family, and said: "Tomorrow, I will find a few generals, let them introduce their family members to Mrs. to know, and find a few people to talk to!" ”
"Don't say goodbye, his wives are all robbed, what do you have to say to them!" After Zhu Yu finished speaking, he looked at Li Yuanyin and cried: "The concubine is the parents who miss Guangdong!" ”
Seeing Zhu Yu's crying pear blossoms with rain, Li Yuanyin was really at a loss, and quickly got up to wipe Zhu Yu's tears.
"Madam, there is no way to do this, we are at war with Guangdong, plus you know what my father and son did in Guangzhou, your father has the heart to kill us, can you forgive us?"
Zhu Yu stopped crying, raised his head and asked, "Husband, what if my father forgives you?" ”
Li Yuanyin was stunned by Zhu Yu's question, and asked, "Why did Madam say that?" ”
"Husband, the concubine's uncle is here today and has brought news of my father!"
As soon as Zhu Yu finished speaking, Tong Tuchang walked out of the back room, arched his hand and said: "Young General, the old man is Tong Tuchang, the same governor of Guangzhou Mansion, and I have seen the young general!" ”
Li Yuanyin saw a strange man coming out of his house, walked quickly to the edge of the weapon rack, drew his sword, and asked loudly, "Who are you?" Why did you come into my home? ”
Zhu Yu hurriedly stood in front of Tong Tuchang and shouted: "Husband, this is my uncle, if you want to kill him, kill me first!" ”
