Chapter 182: Night Talk
Shi Zhu has not yet left the cabinet, and it stands to reason that she is a member of the Shi family. If something happens to the Shi family, she can't escape.
Let's see how this family affair is disposed of by the Zhenguo Mansion.
Wen Zheng listened beside him, thinking that he went to Jiangchuan Bofu that day and listened to the words of his ears: "Zhenguo Gong originally looked down on the Shi family, the Shi family had an accident, maybe the happiest thing is Zhen Guogong, it's good not to fall into the well, the Shi family wants to marry the girl, that's a dream!" ”
However, this matter has nothing to do with him anyway, he is just a person who watches the fun.
Wen Zheng didn't think much about it.
Within a few days, the eldest prince and Chen Luo were taken back to the capital by the emperor.
The eldest prince was seriously injured and temporarily idle at home, while Chen Luo soon took charge of Jin Wuwei, and also brought Wei Huai, who had been in Long Xiangwei, to Jin Wuwei.
The second prince didn't want to congratulate Chen Luo clearly, so he wrote a letter to Chen Luo.
Chen Luo was surrounded by people who came to visit and greet the sick in the past two days, and he sneered when he read the letter of the second prince, and said to Liu Zhong, who followed him as a long-term follower: "If I were the emperor, I wouldn't look down on him." The emperor threw Jin Wuwei to me, is that a weapon for me? There was no way to do it, so I had to pinch my nose and admit it. It's good that the emperor doesn't wait for the eldest prince's affairs to calm down and then find an excuse to deal with me, and the second prince still dreams that I can be promoted! ”
Liu Zhong didn't know what to say, so he had to say: "If the second prince really becomes the emperor, it will also be a blessing for the courtiers." ”
Truly. If the emperor is stupid, he will be freer as a courtier.
Chen Luo didn't speak, burned the letter of the second prince, and asked Liu Zhong to reply to the second prince and ask the second prince what his plans were.
The second prince is indeed very difficult now.
Concubine Niangniang didn't know what to think, thinking that the eldest prince was broken, the second prince was disliked by the emperor, and the opportunity for the third prince came. Anyway, the power of the Qingyun Marquis Mansion has been exposed, and the emperor has seized the handle, rather than being passively punished by the emperor, it is better to take the initiative to attack.
The queen also has this intention.
She didn't look down on the emperor very much, and felt that he was not virtuous. After decades of husband and wife, they feel that the emperor is an ungrateful person, and the relationship between husband and wife has long become a joke.
She doesn't care about the emperor's life or death, she just wants her son to succeed to the throne, lest the Bo family's efforts for so many years be wasted, and there is no point in swallowing her anger for so many years.
She went to consult with Qingyunhou.
Qingyunhou felt that it was not the right time. He said: "Everyone thinks that the three princes have a chance, but you and I both know that the emperor wants to set up the seven princes." Otherwise, he wouldn't have broken the eldest prince in his heart, and dragged Chen Luo into the water. It won't be long since Concubine Shu has been stumbling like this, you must calm down and don't mess up your position.
"As for the private transfer of troops, we have saved the eldest prince, and the emperor will not pursue it in the open.
"Besides, the emperor doesn't like the Bo family, no matter whether we privately transfer troops or not, he won't like the Bo family, in this case, why don't we all rely on their own means to see who can fight whom?"
When he said these words, Qingyunhou looked resolute, his eyes were cold, and he had a kind of ambition to win, which made the queen mother unconvinced, and after going back, she told the second prince: "As long as the Bo family is still there, you will be fine." If you are in chaos, the Bo family will definitely be in chaos. ”
The second prince bowed his head, ready to watch from the sidelines and watch the others take the camp.
However, Shi Lei, the former commander of Jinwu Zuowei, brought a heavy salute and came to Chen Luo with a smile.
"I really didn't expect it!" He touched the top of his head and said, "I claim to be your big brother, and within a few days, you actually took me away." But that's fine, I happened to leave Beijing, asked for an errand for the general army of Guangxi, and went to Guangxi to stay for a few years. Maybe I won't be able to come back. ”
Chen Luo felt more and more that the current royal guards were a mess.
Otherwise, Shi Lei would not have left Beijing.
You must know that his younger brother was on an errand with Yan Chen, and the border between Fujian and Zhejiang was based on Yan Chen's Dinghaishen Needle. No matter how confused the emperor is, it is impossible not to ignore the war in Fujian and Zhejiang.
Shi Lei was able to leave, he must have been guided by a master. I just wonder if other people will also take the opportunity to leave?
Chen Luo handed over the affairs of the four guards to Wei Huai, and he brought the baked cakes from Dashilan and Wang Er's spicy sauce to Wang Xi.
Wang Xi was alarmed by the sound of the stone hitting the window, and when he pushed the window and saw Chen Luo, he couldn't help but complain: "You can't be normal." Always like this in the middle of the night over the wall, I don't know and think you're a gentleman on the beam! ”
"Aren't I not free during the day?" Chen Luo said, handed the baked cakes and hot sauce to Wang Xi, and said, "I haven't eaten dinner yet, do you want to add a little." This hot sauce from Wang Er Mazi's house is something I just heard from someone. It is said that this person is from Guizhou, and the food he makes is good, and it is also a craft that has been passed down from family for generations. offended people over there, and ran to Beijing to open a shop, but in just a few years, it has become famous. His shop was close to Jin Wuwei's yamen, and Jin Wuwei's people frequented it, and I only found out about it. ”
Wang Xi gave the sauce to the ginkgo and asked her to fill some over, and also told her to bring the ginseng black chicken soup stewed on the stove to Chen Luo, and said, "How can you eat cakes without soup?" I have had this soup stewed on the stove for seven or eight hours, skimming the chicken, as long as the bowl of clear soup, the taste is very fresh. ”
Chen Luo and Wang Xi sat under the grape trellis in the courtyard, and the chicken soup was served, but Chen Luo did not drink the chicken soup as usual, but said: "When I was young, my mother entered the palace every three or five times, and my father didn't see each other a few times throughout the year, and the servants in the house served me. I remember that I had a little servant at that time, but at the age of five or six, he was picked to my side, and he couldn't do anything well, and he was often reprimanded by my mother in the house. His mother often came to see him secretly, either carrying a few pieces of bread in her arms for him, or quietly bringing him a bowl of soup, and comforting him every time she saw him, telling him to be an errand and an errand with his heart, and it would be good when he grew up.
"I was envious at that time. It would be nice to have someone who thinks about me for a bite.
"I thought parents should be like her."
Unexpectedly, his mother never cared about him eating and drinking, but helped him stand out at a critical time and fought for him the position of commander of the Jinwuwei capital.
It is because his understanding of maternal love is too narrow, that he will always feel dissatisfied.
Now it seems that his mother does not love him, but it is just different from other mothers who love their sons.
He looked at Wang Xi and felt a little speechless. As if he had spoken his mouth, he admitted that he was blind and impulsive.
Wang Xi winked at him and said with a smile: "Ordinary people are taken care of by their mothers for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but like the eldest princess, since there are people to help with food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is inevitable that there will be some negligence." It's also about the individual. Like my eldest brother, he especially likes the people around him to take care of him personally. But like my second brother, if my mother took care of him like this, he would probably be scared to death, thinking that my mother had something to do with him, otherwise it was something that all servants could do, so why bother my mother to do it.
"It's ridiculous.
"My second brother therefore decided not to marry for the time being. He has to wait until he is lifted and has the ability to make the maid call the slave before getting married, otherwise the daughter-in-law will have to do the things of the servants after he gets married, and he will be too faceless. ”
Chen Luo laughed.
Wang Xi said: "So, you shouldn't think too much. Isn't that bad? Look at the eldest princess, there are several people in the capital who live younger, wanton, and happy than her. ”
She was tactfully persuading him not to care about the eldest princess's private affairs.
Chen Luo heard it.
He looked at Wang Xi in some surprise.
Many women were ashamed of this and persuaded him to leave it alone, but Wang Xi was the first.
He thought for a moment and said, "Why? ”
Wang Xi felt that the reason why Chen Luo was not close to the eldest princess had a lot to do with the eldest princess's private relationship. She couldn't help laughing and said: "I think it's because other people don't necessarily think like the eldest princess, but they don't have the power of the eldest princess, and they don't have the boldness of the eldest princess." But look at me, my family can support me, and I'm afraid that I have been wronged, and I have a son who wants to recruit me, not to mention the eldest princess. ”
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you want to recruit you?" ”
Wang Xi pursed his lips and smiled, "How is it possible?" My eldest brother and my father agreed, my grandfather and my grandmother agreed, my uncle and grandmother, and my future in-laws did not agree! And I think it's okay to live with my parents, if the descendants enter the Wang family's family tree and share the Wang family's property, my sister-in-law will definitely not be happy. Why should I cause discord in my family for a few dollars? ”
"Your future in-laws?" Chen Luo's mood suddenly became a little impetuous when he heard this, and said, "Do you already have a suitable candidate in your family?" ”
Wang Xi smiled disappreciatively: "What's so difficult about this? I have a lot of in-laws in my family, and it won't be too bad to find any one to know the roots. If you want to get married, you can do it at any time. But my mother was worried that someone else had something to do. But who doesn't have a plan for this marriage? Either the figure is good-looking, or the figure has a good family background, or the figure is talented and talented. ”
Her mother had suffered too much, and she always felt that it was better to be pure.
Chen Luo didn't speak for a long time.
Wang Xi pushed the soup bowl in front of him and said, "Hurry up and drink it!" Although the weather is not too cold, it is not too hot, and the chicken soup will not taste good after a while. Speaking of the gossip she had heard in the past few days, "Everyone said that your family would divorce from the Shi family, is it true?" Did the Shi family really convict and raid the house? ”
Chen Luo calmed down, picked up the chicken soup and drank it all as if he was drinking, and said, "Who knows!" Chen Ying's marriage, my mother did not interfere. But the Shi family was indeed convicted and raided. In a few days, he will be escorted to Beijing. Then he wondered, "Did someone say something?" Or is Shi Zhu making trouble again? She used to be looked down upon by anyone, and suddenly she fell into trouble, with her heart, it would definitely not be so easy to accept.
"The Marquis of Yongcheng shouldn't be too polite to her!"
