Chapter XVII: Case Analysis
Zhuo Ruo's face flushed, she never expected that the limerick poem would actually spread outside the palace. She didn't understand the rules here, thinking that like the world she lived in, ridiculing and blackening herself could enliven the atmosphere and shorten the distance between people, she just wanted to be friends with the county lord and Xi Rong, but she didn't expect it to be self-defeating.
"I wasn't deceived, I wrote the limerick, and I wrote the words."
Everyone was stunned when they heard her say this, although she did not live in Nanjing, everyone knew her talents.
Zhuo Ruoling exclaimed: "Why are you pretending to be crazy and stupid in front of them, that limerick poem has spread all over the capital, and now the girls of our Zhuo family have become the laughing stock of others." ”
"They asked me to compose a poem, but I didn't, so I just made up a funny one, but I didn't expect it to be shown to others."
She had no brothers and sisters before, and she took responsibility for her own mistakes, so she naturally couldn't imagine that a person's words and deeds were also related to the reputation of her sisters.
Zhuo Ruobing saw her pitiful appearance and comforted: "Forget it, didn't you just make a limerick poem?" The little sisters are playing with each other, and the poems are good but they can't be the champions? ”
"Big sister, that's not what I said, it's rumored outside that the girl of the Zhuo family doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, thinking that as long as she is beautiful, she can be lazy, this is planning to serve people in Israel......"
"Third sister!"
"Third sister!" Zhuo Xiao and Zhuo Ruozhen spoke up at the same time to stop her from going on.
Zhuo Ruoling was just quick to speak for a while, and after being drunk, she reacted, and hurriedly took Zhuo Ruoning's hand and said: "Nian Nian, the third sister doesn't blame you, the main thing is that Sister Li'er is worried, she hasn't allowed others yet, and such rumors have spread, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go on a blind date in the future......"
As he was talking, Zhuo Yuan came out, and the waiting mother-in-law beckoned them into the house at the door.
After reporting to the old lady, the second wife said to Lin: "The day after tomorrow is the Buddha Bathing Festival, according to Nanjing customs, you have to take the children to the temple to burn incense, sister-in-law prepare." ”
Lin: "It just so happens that I also want to burn cleaning incense for Niannian, this child has had many disasters this year." Which temple did we go to burn incense in previous years? ”
"Da Bao'en Temple is closer, the scale is also large, it is the first choice for Nanjing heroes and nobles, officials and eunuchs to burn incense, you have to go early, there are many people that day."
Lin nodded and parted with her, led her daughter back to the room, and told the other girls to rest on their own.
Zhuo Li came over after a while, sat on the Taishi chair and beckoned to Zhuo Ruoning.
Zhuo Ruoning walked over slowly: "What's the matter with Daddy?" ”
Zhuo Li saw that his daughter was afraid of him, so he eased his expression and said, "How did you spend this time in the palace, tell your father." ”
Zhuo Ruoning picked up the important words, and Zhuo Li closed his eyes and pondered after hearing this, with no expression on his face.
Lin couldn't help but ask him: "Why did the emperor ask about Niannian's marriage match?" Geng Kan is so outstanding, hasn't the emperor heard of it? ”
Zhuo Li pondered and shook his head: "Maybe I thought I had withdrawn from the marriage, it didn't matter, I was thinking about the reward that the emperor said......"
Reward or something, the Lin family doesn't care, although the Zhuo family is not rich and expensive, but they don't have to worry about food and clothing. Over the years, she has carefully cared for her daughter, and she has already seen through that money is something outside the body, and only peace and smoothness are the most important. Although the emperor's reward is tempting, it is not as good as her daughter's lifelong happiness.
"Otherwise, I will take Niannian to visit Mrs. Changxinghou tomorrow, there are rumors flying outside, and I don't know how much Mrs. Changxinghou has heard."
Zhuo Li came back to his senses and scolded: "You stop it, the case of Yu Pei is not over yet, I think the emperor means to investigate deeply, whoever is involved in this matter, who doesn't avoid it, you go to the Changxing Marquis Mansion now, don't you embarrass Mrs. Changxinghou?" ”
Lin was anxious, but he didn't dare to disobey his husband's words, so he turned his head and got angry.
Zhuo Li looked at her, and then at her ignorant daughter, thinking of the rumors that had spread recently, and there was nowhere to vent her anger.
"Niannian's body is almost recovered, let her move to Moon Shadow Pavilion and live with her sisters."
Lin suddenly became confused, and said hurriedly: "Master, Nian Nian has been living with me for ......"
Zhuo Li's eyes widened: "That's in Pujiang, she's such a big girl, and she still lives with you, what are you like?" Moved in with a few sisters, read a few sentences, and at least go out without making jokes. ”
After speaking, he got up angrily and threw off his sleeves.
