Xu Xun, the freshly baked son of Xing'an, naturally didn't know that the supreme father and son in the palace actually talked about his topic, after running around all day, he had already missed dinner, and now he was too hungry and had no appetite, he forced his spirit to explain a few words to Xu Liang, who had been waiting at home, and then he didn't even bother to do washing, so he fell asleep with his head so groggy. He slept soundly, and no one disturbed him, and he was finally awakened by a rumbling stomach.

"Someone!"

To his surprise, it was not Tao Hong or Ah Bao who came in as he expected, but a young and beautiful girl. Seeing that someone came forward to serve him and get dressed, he instinctively ducked back, and then frowned: "Who are you, why haven't I seen you?" ”

When the girl heard this, she hurriedly smiled and saluted: "Back to the young master's words, the slave maid Zhu Ying was sent by Shou Ninghou to serve the young master." ”

The girl sent by Shouning Hou Zhang Heling? He didn't have much friendship with that uncle of the country, and the only thing he had seen was that Zhang Heling scolded him and Wang Shikun, and as a result, he made Zhu Houzhao, the prince who was so easily invited back by Miss Zhang, angry and left.

Xu Xun's eyes flickered for a while, after all, he was still not used to a strange woman taking care of these private things for him, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Since it was sent by Shou Ninghou, I don't need anyone here for the time being, you go and serve my father." ”

"Back to the young master, the Hou Ye sent a total of eight girls, there are already people around the master, and the four of us are serving the young master." Zhu Ying's expression was as usual when she heard this, and she explained the reason with a smile as usual, and seeing that Xu Xun seemed to be surprised, she lowered her head again and said, "Master Hou said that the young master is kind to the Hou Mansion of Shouning, and he instructed the slave maid and others to do their best. ”

Xu Xun's heart suddenly brightened up when he said a word of kindness, knowing that Zhu Houzhao's return to the palace yesterday must have been a lot of trouble. Seeing that three more girls came over outside the door with a bathtub, a washcloth, a handkerchief and other things, he thought about it and got out of bed, and let them change clothes around him. Seeing that the four of them were all pretty, and this service was also in a proper manner without any teasing, he temporarily left their affairs behind, and thought about what was going on outside now, while hastily washing up. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask casually.

"What time is it?"

"Young master, it's the first moment of Shen Chu."

Slept into the afternoon?

Xu Xun's surprise was not trivial, he dropped the towel to wipe his face, and went out with a nod. When he arrived outside the door of the main room, he coughed first, and then opened the curtain and entered the door, just in time to see Xu Liang coming out of the east room.

"Dad, why didn't you call me early in the morning!"

"After holding it for so many days, it doesn't matter if you are relieved for a while." Xu Liangzheng was talking, and suddenly he only heard Xu Xun's stomach screaming again, and couldn't help laughing, "It's just that it seems to be bitter about your stomach." I haven't eaten for a long time, so I still use some porridge and side dishes to nourish my stomach before eating others. The kitchen is making fish fillet porridge, and you can boil it for a while. ”

"Fillet porridge? I remember that Jin Liu's sister-in-law turned over and over with those few dishes, when did she be able to bear it? ”

"How can she have this ability, she is also a cook lady sent by Shou Ninghou today, saying that it is a good meal and a good soup to cook, I think that Hou Ye will not harm me, a nouveau riche, so I will have someone to go to the kitchen to toss." Speaking of this, Xu Liang said with a straight expression, "But I can put it in front, now that I am rich, there is no Shou Ninghou to give away, and you always have to add one or two girls by your side, but you have to hold on, don't forget Yue'er." ”

"Daddy!" Xu Xun was so crying and laughing by Xu Liang that he was about to joke that his father had a daughter-in-law and forgot his son, but now that there are new people in the family, the population is much more complicated than before, so he looked around and diverted the topic and said, "Didn't you say that eight girls were sent, and there were four people?" ”

"I've been used to cooking by myself for so many years, and I don't need them, lest someone have any other ideas." Xu Liang remembered the sinister deeds that he had heard and seen in the door of the mansion in the past, and immediately frowned in disgust, and continued, "Everyone else must be regarded as an upstart, that is, the Marquis of Shouning, and if you know it, you can at most laugh at me behind my back, don't count these things." In the past few days, the four of them have been fighting casually, and after moving over, there are more of these in such a big place, and they are not conspicuous at all. ”

Xu Xun knew that in addition to Xu Liang's words, he also had the intention of fulfilling his previous promise again, and he didn't feel that his heart was hot. Knowing Xu Liang's temper, he didn't persuade again, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "Dad, when did Shou Ninghou send someone here, except for a cook and eight girls, but there are others?" Did you say anything else? ”

"I came early in the morning, and it was the eldest son of Shou Ninghou, who was polite to me, saying that he was specially here to congratulate our double happiness. In addition to the people I just mentioned, there are also one or twenty ends of the table, all of which are fine silk and satin, four pieces of leather goods, and a box of various utensils, which seems to be given to us in advance after moving. Xu Liang's brows furrowed into a big pimple as he spoke, "You came back late last night, and you sent these early this morning, what the hell is going on?" ”

You must know that Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, is not such a sensible person, that uncle is a good hand at holding money, but it is even more difficult for him to scatter his wealth, unless in addition to Zhu Houzhao's big trouble in the palace, there is also a letter from Queen Zhang, otherwise, ...... Thinking of this, Xu Xun didn't answer Xu Liang's question, but suddenly asked, "Dad, what's the news outside today?" ”

"Message? What's the news? ”

Xu Liangzheng was at a loss, and Tao Hong's voice came from outside: "Master, young master, Master Huitong is here, saying that congratulations to the master for attacking the lord and the young master for his promotion!" ”

"This wine and meat monk, why did you come here so early or late!"

Xu Liang hadn't seen Huitong since he arrived in the capital, but he also knew that the monk and Xu Xun didn't know what secret things were planned, he didn't bother to care about these, only his old friends were not there for many years, so he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, so he went out in person with a smile and scolding. Before he could get down the steps, he saw a man with hair of only two or three inches and a gray-brown jacket on his body walking on the opposite side, and he almost didn't recognize anyone at first glance. It took a moment for him to cried out in amazement, "You...... Are you a monk? ”

"I've not been a monk for a long time, and I'll be annoyed to take out my real name and call me in the future." Huitong rolled his eyes, and then bowed solemnly, "Zhong Huitong He Xinganbo, He Shizi." ”

Amused by this latter sentence, Xu Liang finally couldn't help laughing, and then the whole person bent down: "Zhong Huitong...... Zhong Huitong, you are really ...... selling dog meat with a sheep's head I thought you would come up with a good name, but it turned out that you put your own surname first, and the monk is not vulgar, exactly the same as when you were a monk! ”

"So what, anyway, the name is just to fool outsiders!" Huitong glanced at Xu Liang, who was still smiling, angrily, and saw that Xu Xun also went out and walked over, so he grabbed Xu Liang's arm instead, half supported and half coerced the person into the house, and said in a babbling voice, "All in all, your father and son are now developed, don't forget to bring me in the future, I'm here to ......."

Seeing that Huitong had already helped Xu Liang into the house, Xu Xunchong glanced at Tao Hong, who had just reported the news, and saw that someone had come to the door to see it, so he followed in. Sure enough, as soon as Huitong entered the room, he dropped the words just now, and said bluntly: "When is it, your father and son are still so good!" I said Xu Qishao, cough ...... I said, Lord Shizi, yesterday you supported us to make a big fuss at the gate of the Eldest Princess Renhe's mansion, why didn't you say earlier that it was a case that stabbed the sky like that? ”

Xu Liang on the side took a look at the gap and immediately asked, "The case of stabbing the sky?" What's going on? ”

"What's going on? You don't know? Seeing that Xu Xun shook his head, Huitong, who had just sat down, couldn't help but pat his thigh and said, "After the emperor is in the morning today, he will personally interrogate the person you and the prince from the mansion of the eldest princess from Ren and the eldest princess yesterday in Zuoshun Gate!" Because the man was talking nonsense, and he also took out his daughter in a delusional attempt to get rid of the crime, the emperor was furious before the trial was finished, and put people in Jinyiwei Prison, just afraid that the whole city would be rumored to open tomorrow. I said this isn't the prince you picked up to make trouble, right? This kind of thing can only be covered with a lid, how can there be such a stirring up of the army and making a big fuss, isn't it an excuse to give to the common people and the vassal kings from all over the country? ”

"This kind of thing, unless I don't want to die!"

Xu Xun shook his head, but remembering that Shou Ninghou was sending things and giving people away, he was not without doubts in his heart, but what was even more suspicious was the reason why Emperor Hongzhi did this. In the past, the deeds in the palace ban can only be covered but not promoted, just like in later generations, there was a Yongzheng pro-trial Zeng Jing and others who came up with a copy of "The Mystery of the Great Righteous Jue", but the folk rumors were even worse, but as soon as Qianlong came to power, he banned and destroyed all those books without saying a word, and killed all the people. And this time, the same thing is true.

"It's really not you?"

Huitong thought that Xu Xun wanted to be famous, so he hurried over, but at this moment Xu Xun denied it, he immediately stood there frowning, and couldn't think of the reason why the emperor did this. At this time, Xu Liang on the side finally couldn't help it, grabbed Huitong and asked carefully, and when he learned the cause and effect of this whole thing, he was silent for a while, and suddenly said something else.

"I'm afraid that the emperor is angry not only because this matter slandered him, but also because this matter slandered the queen and the crown prince. There have always been rumors among the people that the queen is arrogant and the Zhang family is rampant, if there are rumors that the prince is not a concubine, the Zhang family will inevitably become the target of public criticism. There are still two queen mothers in the palace, and if she intervenes, she may shake the throne. The emperor did not hesitate to tear up such a thing, not out of the emperor's intentions, but because of the love of husband and wife. ”
