Chapter 384: Uncle (3)
Zhu Heng was stumped by his uncle's straightforwardness.
After a moment of silence, he did not respond directly to his uncle, but told his uncle that he already had a favorite person, but the other party was not yet in his prime, and the matter of getting married still needed to be postponed for a year or two.
Qian Yi originally wanted to ask who the woman was, with his understanding, he could get his nephew's green eyes, since he was not the daughter of an ordinary family, not to mention the talent and appearance, but also the character of one in a million, but then he thought about it, such a beautiful woman, the other party's parents and family must cherish it, how could he have the opportunity to associate with Zhu Heng?
But if there is no contact, how can Zhu Heng identify the other party?
"Uncle wants to ask me how I identified her, right?" Zhu Heng saw that his uncle wanted to speak to him, and took the initiative to ask.
Qian Yi nodded, reached out and patted Zhu Heng on the shoulder, and then touched his back, both relieved and sad.
"As fate would have it, although she was not from a noble background, she was kind and sincere, and most importantly, she was very good to me, which is indescribable to me, and it is also good that you can't imagine." After speaking, the corners of Zhu Heng's mouth slowly curved, the light in his eyes gradually softened, and the whole person seemed to be bathed in a layer of golden light, from the inside to the outside, there was no place that was not happy or sweet.
Qian Yi was stunned.
He remembered the sister who had just become a bride many years ago, and she was also dressed in a glow, with a sweet smile, and her eyes firmly told him that she was very happy and content, and the man she loved was none other than the unique emperor of Da Zhou.
But who knew that within two years, the smile on my sister's face was no longer there, and her eyes were confused, asking her anything, but she refused to say anything, she was in a hurry, and only replied to him with eight words, "Luohua is ruthless." ”
Could it be that Zhu Heng also wants to repeat his mother's tragedy?
Just imagine, if his sister's talent and appearance can't move or keep that man, why can Zhu Heng, who is disabled, impress the other party?
"Don't." Qian Yi shouted.
"What not?" Zhu Heng was taken aback by his uncle's sudden loss of manners.
"Your mother, when she married your father at the beginning of the year, she was also like you, and she was planted with a heart, but the most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart, I am afraid that you will be sad in the future, listen to your uncle, you like her to marry her uncle and do not object, but you can't just throw yourself into it, you are a man, and you are in such an awkward position, let alone be emotional."
In fact, what Qian Yi wanted to say was that with Zhu Heng's current situation, he should marry the daughter of a minister who has the right to speak in the court, so that he can become his help.
A woman from an ordinary background, no matter how good she is to Zhu Heng, she can't help him sit in that position.
Of course, Qian Yi did not let Zhu Heng live up to the other party's intentions, she could take a concubine, and she could also ensure that she was not afraid of food and clothing.
It's just that he can't say it, at least not now.
The two nephews met for the first time, and he didn't want to make trouble because of these things.
Zhu Heng understood his uncle's hint and smiled, "Uncle, don't worry, I am not my father, and she will not be my mother, if there is anyone in this world who is willing to take risks and treat me well without asking for anything in return, it will be her." ”
Indeed, in Zhu Heng's heart, Zeng Rong and his mother are two diametrically opposed people, don't look at Zeng Rong's humble background, but she is not humble at all, she is a person who even the queen mother and the emperor dare to refuse.
No matter where such a person is, no matter what difficulties she encounters, she will try her best to change herself and improve herself, so that she can adapt to the situation around her, instead of blindly being sad and complaining about the injustice of fate.
In short, don't look at her young age, but the indifference and detachment in her heart is what Zhu Heng has longed for for a long time but has been unable to ask for for many years.
Qian Yi was also young, and when he saw the look on Zhu Heng's face, he sighed, and couldn't say anything about the reproach, so he changed the topic and talked about the business of entering Beijing this time.
Zhu Heng briefly analyzed the current situation in the court, focusing on Queen Wang and Wang Bai, mentioning Wang Bai's military exploits in the past few years, mentioning the shortage of grain and grass in the five cities in the north this time, mentioning the emperor's embarrassment, and also mentioning the conversation between their father and son, but Zeng Rong was hidden, but he said that he had donated 200,000 taels of silver from his mother's dowry.
When Qian Yi heard this, he silently calculated his sister's dowry, and guessed that the 200,000 taels of silver should be the ministry that Zhu Heng could take out, and now he has donated a dozen, isn't he thinking about it for the future?
Or is it what their father and son have come to terms with?
After careful consideration, Qian Yi asked: "I heard that you suffer from a hidden disease among the people and never show it, and you have not contacted us all these years, according to Qin Steward, even Chu Xue has never come out of the palace to see him over the years, child, don't think your uncle is troublesome, your uncle also cares about you, so I want to ask you, you promised to help your father, is there anything difficult to hide?" ”
It's not that Qian Yi is too careful, before Zhu Heng talked about such a big thing as he fell into the well and lost his legs, the emperor never asked for justice for him, although the queen mother hurt him only on the surface, otherwise it would be impossible to even kill the only person close to him, although Qin Chuxue did not die in the end, he was also transferred away from Zhu Heng's side.
A person who can't walk on his legs, and there is no one close to him, you can imagine what kind of situation Zhu Heng is in the palace.
This is also the reason why Qian Yi did not agree to the emperor last year to come out and raise his arms.
He wanted to use this as a bargaining chip to go to Beijing to see the emperor and Zhu Heng to see what the situation of this nephew was.
The Qian family has done enough for the emperor over the years, but how does the emperor repay the Qian family?
However, Qian Yi still gave Zhu Heng some face in the end, and the nephew opened his mouth for the first time, no matter what the purpose, he had to give this row of noodles, so he promised to give 250,000 stone of grain.
For the Qian family, the things that can be solved with silver are not a big deal, but the increase in industrial and commercial endowments involves too much, not only the reputation of the Qian family, but also the foundation of the Qian family for hundreds of years if it is not handled well, so Qian Yi did not dare to respond rashly.
"Uncle deserves to be uncle." Zhu Heng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, he liked his uncle's honesty, and he also liked his uncle's transparency, in the end, he was the head of the family for many years, and he could always grasp the core of the problem through his words.
Although they had only met for the first time, they were no strangers at all.
However, Zhu Heng still didn't confess Zeng Rong in the end, only said that he was too narrow and pedantic in the past, and he only saw the pain in front of him, and never planned his future.
But now that he had changed his mind, he didn't want to give up the things that should have belonged to him.
For the sake of his mother, for himself, and for his glory, he tried his best.
is still the same sentence, if you get it, he is lucky, and if you lose it, he will die.
