Chapter 19: The Best of Both Worlds (1)
Zhu Pingjin slept well at night, and the next morning, he took Cao Sanbao to the princess to ask for peace. Wang Sizhong, as a special commissioner sent by Zhu Pingjin, had already taken his handwritten warrant to the front station for the two grass mark teams and coordinate with the local Wang Zhuang to provide the necessary food and lodging on the road. Li Chongwen did not set off in a hurry today, he waited for the princess to approve more than 1,000 people's rations, seeds, farm tools, and carts for a month. This is also the main reason why Zhu Pingjin is in a hurry to go to the princess.
The princess got up early this morning to comb her hair and take a walk in the palace garden north of her bedchamber.
She had been lying in bed yesterday and the day before yesterday, and her whole body hurt after lying for a long time. Before dawn today, she woke up early, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep again. But after finally getting some sleep, the princess felt much better. Walking in the garden for a while, the princess caught a glimpse of Cao Yicheng talking to a eunuch who had arrived, and saw the old eunuch come to report that the prince had come to ask for peace.
The princess nodded, and her footsteps did not stop.
This rebel! The princess thought fiercely, could it be another wonder of their old Zhu family? Somehow, their old Zhu family was born with characteristics, and they were not even at ease when they became emperors - one day they wanted to be generals to kill the enemy, there were those who went crazy in alchemy and cultivation, there were those who guarded women for forty years and did not go to court, those who had monogamy and did not take concubines for life, there were women who were seventeen years older than themselves who were infatuated all their lives, and there were even those who wore dragon robes as carpenters in the court. There are more freaks who become vassal kings, some write medicine books and become doctors, some engage in music and rhythm and sleep in the grass house, and one is ready to rebel anytime and anywhere. The old dead man in my family is also wonderful, he ignores everything all year round, he knows that he writes poems and paints, and even the whole family has never had a reunion dinner during the Spring Festival, and now he doesn't know that he is hugging that woman again!
Thinking of Zhu Pingjian, the rebel son, the princess unconsciously hated his Lao Tzu, and wished that his Lao Tzu would die immediately, lest she be angry when she thought about it. Only when she is busy dealing with the big and small things in the palace will she not hate her man.
The princess recuperated due to illness. Just because her body is resting doesn't mean that her high-speed brain can stop quickly. In the past few days, all kinds of news about the prince have been coming in from outside, and through Cao Yicheng, they have been summarized into the ears of the princess. On Chinese New Year's Eve, Shizi killed people in the streets of Huangchengba and hung his head in public; On the first day of the new year, the prince led the New Year's Day meeting of hundreds of officials; In the second year of junior high school, the prince did not leave the house after asking for peace, but he wrote something. Among them, a letter was written to Miss Luo, which Wang Sizhong sent to Luo's mansion; In the third year of junior high school, Shizi and Miss Naro went shopping on the street and bought a lot of things for women; On the fourth day of the first month, please ask the prince of An Hou and the girl to go to the Daci Temple to offer incense, the two prayed in front of the Bodhisattva for a long time, what to pray for is not clear, the girl of Na Luo looked like she had cried after the incense came out, and the son of the world also helped her wipe it; On the fifth day of the first month, the prince stopped for a day and continued to write and paint; On the sixth day of the first month, the prince and the girl Luo went to the Chenghuang Temple, and after coming out, they drank tea and chatted in the riverside teahouse to bask in the sun. On the seventh day of the first month, Shizi summoned Sun Hong, the Chinese case of the government, to protect Song Zhenzong and Luo Jingyun, and then gave Song Zhenzong a manuscript, which I don't know what was written on it, and Shizi personally took it from the cabinet in his study. On the eighth day of the first month, the prince took Sun Hong, Song Zhenzong and Luo Jingyun to Dongmenren City to buy more than 1,000 homeless people, and arranged for them to go to Wangzhuang in Renshou County and Mingshan County respectively. When the prince bought people, he emphasized that he only bought lonely people, and later abolished this article after the traffickers interceded. In addition, when Shizi and Miss Luo went out together, they were both in casual clothes, as if they were already familiar with each other, often walking hand in hand, and laughing and amusing each other. Miss Luo seems to have a strong temperament, and once threw Shizi's hand on the street and left directly, and Shizi was still chasing after her.
This restless child! The princess walked slowly in the garden in early spring, pondering her son's recent actions. First of all, we have to separate the two things of Miss Luo and the purchase of the homeless, because the two don't seem to be connected anyway. If there is a connection between the two, it is only Luo Jingyun, the younger brother of the Luo girl. But Luo Jingyun only became a doctor once when he bought someone, and it didn't seem to have a great effect. After the homeless people bought it back, Luo Jingyun did not take it with him, but went home directly. Buying a homeless person is not a big deal, it was supposed to be bought. Every year, the bankers of the palace have run away, die, and this year there are also those who have been taken captive by thieves, so this year's shortage is greater than in previous years. If there is a lack of people, I will naturally go to the market to buy, but in the past, I personally arranged the purchase of people, and this year, my son did not greet him, so he bought it, what is the reason? What is he going to do? Could it be that he really wants to do a tea and horse business? It looks like it now. Didn't greet the magistrate when he went out of the city gate? As long as he doesn't show his honor guard and report to his home, it doesn't matter, the magistrate will only turn a blind eye and pretend to be confused, and will not cause trouble for himself.
It's not a big deal to buy people, and the prince has reported it before, maybe he has been sick for the past few days, and the prince doesn't want to disturb his rest. The princess made a basic judgment about the purchase in her heart, and Miss Naro reappeared in her mind. Miss Naluo is clearly not a big girl, and she can't even take the turn of a small jasper.
The dead person in the family is not dead yet, and if you recruit a troublesome goblin daughter-in-law to quarrel every day, how can you live this day!
The princess lamented in her heart, relying on the intuition of a woman and a mother, she firmly locked on Luo Yuhong and began to analyze her in detail.
Why did the son become so familiar with Miss Naro so quickly? On the evening of the 24th day of the lunar month last year, the prince summoned Miss Luo, and it seemed that the person who went to invite had an accident, because the Luo family thought that the palace was robbing people. Judging from this, Shizi and Miss Luo did not know each other before, and the two met for the first time that night. After that, the number of times the two met, the princess broke her fingers in her heart, once on Chinese New Year's Eve; once on the third day of junior high school; once on the fourth day of junior high school; I met once on the sixth day of the new year, and I met five times in the fourteen days before and after. When the two met, less than an hour on the evening of the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the two talked behind closed doors; On Chinese New Year's Eve, they only saw one time, and neither of them spoke; The third, fourth, and sixth years of junior high school spent a long time together, and they were all half a day and half a day.
Only met five times, and the two were like lovers. It even feels closer than a lover's relationship, like a couple. Is this possible? The princess was a little puzzled. It was naturally the order of her parents to marry into the palace by herself, and she had never even seen a man's face before lifting her hijab. But she remembered that before she got married, she liked a distant cousin, and it seemed that she hadn't met a few times, and she didn't have a chance to talk about her heart, so she liked him like this.
"Didn't this work out in the end?" The princess blamed herself, "Maybe young people are like that? In the red dust world, there is a line of marriage, and if you find someone you like, you will fall in love with each other? ”
I couldn't find a basis for my own judgment from my own life experience, but fell into my own emotional entanglement. The princess had no choice but to reinvent the wheel and analyze it from other aspects.
Judging from the family background, the Naluo family is not bad. There is a medicinal herb shop in the south and west of the city. What is the sign of the store called? Forgot, it seems to be called Fu Ren Tang? Yes, that's the name. The Luo family's shop in the south of the city is not small, with five storefronts on the street, two floors above and below, and a courtyard with three entrances in the back. It's already hard to buy this kind of yard in a CD house with a lot of people in the city. The family is scarce, the mother left early, and there is only one father and one brother. His father is quite famous, and the famous Luo Xiaoer of CD Mansion specializes in treating all kinds of incurable diseases for children and women. When the prince was young, her father also went into the house to see the son. I vaguely remember that her father was tall and handsome, and he was a beautiful man. The younger brother is a year younger, went to school, and recently ran away with Shizi. However, although the Luo family's family is good, and the doctor is not a cheap business, compared with the Zhang family in the south of the city and the ancestral family in the west of the city, the family assets are estimated to be far worse. The Zhang family in the south of the city is engaged in the leather business, and I heard that it has been done outside the plug; The ancestral family in the west of the city is a family of eunuchs, and the family has been out of the department (according to the inspector), and the good land is thousands of acres.
Judging from the appearance and clothing, it is even more unreasonable for the prince to like Miss Naluo. The woman's appearance was medium at best, her chin felt a little sharper, and her cheeks were a little more protruding, but she was as tall as her father, and her makeup was a little special. In short, it's definitely not stunning, and it's even worse than the good ones in the house. Does my son like Miss Luo's appearance? It doesn't seem like it. There are many women around him and his son who have such appearances, and even the palace maids he quietly sent over to teach him personnel have not taken a straight look at him. It turned out that I was worried about this for a while, whether there was something wrong with this child. It's not a look, it's certainly not.
It's not a family background, it's not a look, so what does my son like about Miss Luo? The princess pondered and meditated, but could not think of an answer. That's Miss Luo's character? That's right! A spark sparked in the princess's brain. Miss Naluo took the initiative to submit poems and dared to act; Fight in the street, bold and spicy; Holding hands and shaking faces, dare to love and hate. is still a girl's family, she is in charge of her father and brother at home, and she is in charge of the shop business outside, and she is clearly a housekeeper who is in charge of the house inside and out!
Aren't I like that myself? When the girl is in charge of her mother's family and marries into the palace, she still can't be idle, and she has to manage the palace again. I'm a housekeeper myself!
Thinking that she was also a housekeeper since she was a child, the princess felt sad in her heart. was secretly sad, and suddenly a photographable thought swollen her chest, my son won't have that mother's plot! He is clearly looking for a daughter-in-law compared to his mother! It's over, it's over, how good is that! This evil seed, he is his own child! How did he have that idea? No, it won't! It's normal for my son to see him. On New Year's Day, when the court was praised, a group of court officials praised him for his peaceful demeanor and politeness. The prince also sent a message, saying that the new governor Liao Daheng handed over the book to praise the prince. The prince specially passed over Liao Daheng's words, didn't it mean that he was also very satisfied.
But the son is obviously looking for a daughter-in-law compared to his own appearance. Why is this happening, the princess is still puzzled, maybe she was strict when she was a child, and it had too much impact on her son's psychology?
"No, why do you like Miss Luo, I have to let him explain the reason clearly today, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight." The princess made up her mind.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind the princess at the right time:
"Son-in-law, see the mother! Did the concubine sleep well yesterday? ”
