Zeng Rong followed the emperor into Kunning Palace when he was on duty the next day, only to learn that the illness of the tenth prince and the twelfth prince was serious, and the emperor couldn't help it, so he first took off the purse on his body, and then asked Zheng Jiao to move to Tian Guifei's Yuhua Palace.

Coincidentally, five days later, when the tenth and twelfth princes recovered, Zheng Jiao was also diagnosed as pregnant.

When the emperor learned of this news, he did not visit him in person, but only ordered someone to send a bunch of reward items.

It's a pity, according to the imperial doctor, because of too much worry and too much pressure, Zheng Jiao had a miscarriage a few days after being diagnosed with pregnancy, and this time the emperor went to Yuhua Palace, but he came out in less than half an hour.

Zeng Rong went to visit twice, and she blamed herself in her heart, if she had known that this would be the result, she would definitely stop Zheng Jiao at the beginning, at least she would not have assisted.

However, Zhu Heng has two good news these days, first he received a reply from the Qian family, and the two uncles agreed to donate 250,000 stone of grain, and they are preparing to come from the canal later, and the eldest uncle will enter Beijing with the grain and grass.

As for the tax reform, the letter did not mention it, presumably after entering Beijing, I saw Zhu Heng again.

Another thing is that Zhu Wu began to discuss marriage, and did not mention Zhu Heng, that is to say, the queen mother and the queen have discussed it properly and agreed that Zhu Heng will not marry for the time being.

Zhu Wu's family affairs were set during the birthday of the Queen Mother, and in those days, many women inside and outside the capital brought their daughters to pay homage to the Queen Mother, and the imperial concubine fell in love with Wu Chuyue, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Fuguo.

The Wu family of the Auxiliary State Duke has always been stationed in the area of South Vietnam, and has a lot of business dealings with the southeastern countries, with real power, a strong family background, and a tradition of marriage with the royal family.

This Wu Chuyue's background is not ordinarily illustrious, his grandmother is the eldest princess of Pingyang, and his mother is the eldest daughter of the king of Chu, and she is also a county lord.

This Wu Chuyue grew up in South Vietnam, and two years before her grandfather died, her father returned to Beijing to guard filial piety and take over as the Auxiliary State Prince, and she followed her family back to Beijing.

It is reported that the imperial concubine fell in love with the little girl when she saw her at the queen mother's birthday banquet in the old year, but because the little girl was not yet in her prime, and Zhu Heng had not discussed her relatives, Zhu Wu was not good at overtaking, so the matter was suppressed.

This year, Zhu Heng once again made it clear that he would not discuss his relatives, and the emperor and the queen mother also spoke, so the imperial concubine couldn't wait to settle this Wu Chuyue.

When the news came, inside and outside the palace, some people were happy and some were worried.

To be precise, there are far more people who are worried than happy.

The emperor didn't have a clear attitude, but the queen mother and the queen were really quite confused, but the queen mother was more obvious, and even saw Zeng Rong with a little scrutiny and dissatisfaction.

Although Zeng Rong understood, he didn't want to send it to the door to find abuse, so he had to minimize the number of times he went to Cining Palace, Zhu Heng saw this, and wanted to move back to Chuhua Palace with the warm weather, but was persuaded by Zeng Rong.

On this day, it was the day of Zhu Heng's acupuncture, and it happened that Zhu Heng had taken a decoction for another three months, Zeng Rongyou wanted him to pause for a while, and then find the doctor to re-diagnose and treat the pulse, so she asked Li Ruolan for a leave of absence and accompanied Zhu Heng out of the palace.

Because of the lessons of the previous car, this time Zhu Heng and Zeng Rong returned to the Qian Mansion first, originally planned to go out from the side gate of the Qian Mansion to meet the doctor, but who knew that they had just gotten off the carriage at the gate of the Qian family, and when Zeng Rong pushed Zhu Heng to look up at the stone carvings on the gate of the Qian Mansion, several carriages and mule carts came over.

Zeng Rong looked over and saw that the signs on the carriage and mule cart were all "money", his heart moved, and he was about to say something to Zhu Heng, only to see Uncle Qin running out of the house, and Zhu Heng greeted him, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of the forty-year-old man who had just gotten off the carriage, and hurriedly stumbled over, knelt at the feet of the other party, hugged the other party's legs and cried.

Sure enough, the person who came was Zhu Heng's uncle Qian Yi.

Originally, Qian Yi wanted to rest for two days before handing over a post to the palace to ask to see the emperor and Zhu Heng, so he didn't inform Zhu Heng in advance, nor did he inform Uncle Qin, who knew that it was such a coincidence that he actually met at the door.

Qian Yi should be not confused, not tall, thin, eyes are very similar to Zhu Heng, they are all the kind of narrow phoenix eyes, no hat on his head, only a black jade hair crown, may be a long-term travel fatigue, a little tired, the clothes on his body are still neat, five or six into new, ordinary brown dark pattern Hangzhou silk, the shoes on his feet are slightly stained with mud.

I don't know if he was too surprised or stunned or because he was hugged by Uncle Qin's legs, Qian Yi saw that Zhu Heng in a wheelchair did not step forward, but moved his mouth, but before the words came out, his face was already blank.

Zeng Rong pushed Zhu Heng over, Zhu Heng leaned forward, and bowed, "Ah Heng has seen uncle." ”

This "uncle" finally brought Qian Yi back to his senses, broke away from Uncle Qin, took two steps forward and hugged Zhu Heng, opened his mouth several times, and only said a few repeated words, "Child, child, you have suffered, you have suffered, child... ”

This series of "children" also made Zhu Heng let down his guard, responded to the other party's hug, and buried his head in the other party's shoulder socket.

He wanted to feel the love of his elders.

This experience was definitely different from what he felt in the palace.

After a short period of joyful embrace, Qian Yi let go of Zhu Heng, but his hands were still on Zhu Heng's shoulders, and he looked at Zhu Heng carefully, "The eyebrows and eyes are like your mother, like our Qian family."

Zhu Heng heard this and just replied to the other party with a bright smile, "Aunt Qin also said that the eyes of the Qian family are all good when they smile, and my mother's eyes are like stars shining when she laughs." ”

"Child, you have stars in your eyes when you laugh." Qian Yi sighed sincerely, but unfortunately, when he saw Zhu Heng's legs, tears welled up again.

Zhu Heng personally took out a silk handkerchief and handed it to the other party, Uncle Qin also beckoned everyone into the house, and several big men hugged and cried outside the gate, which was easy to cause onlookers.

The building of the Qian family is slightly different from the general courtyard, with the eaves of the horse's head in the south, and the plaque on the gate is not a general gilt font, but a stone carving, the middle of the stone carving is the word "Qianfu", surrounded by lotus flowers, and on the shadow wall after entering the house is a stone carving of Confucius lecturing.

Turn the shadow wall, enter the weeping flower gate, is a yard about 30 zhang wide and about 20 zhang long, the yard is very simple, a road in the middle is paved with bluestone slabs, both sides are large and wide blue bricks, there are no trees, no flowers and plants.

There is a circle of stone carvings about half a foot wide on the wall under the eaves of the upper room and the verandah around the hand, the pattern is the ruyi pattern, there is a pair of couplets on the wooden pillars on both sides of the door of the upper room, the font of black lacquer gilt, the book is written: "Loyalty and filial piety have been passed down to the family for a long time, and the poems and books have been passed down from generation to generation." ”

There are three steps from the courtyard into the upper room, the door and windows of the upper room are carved with wood, and the pictures and texts are also quite exquisite and complex, which is different from other houses at a glance.
