Chu Yuanzhen went to his brother's study after saying goodbye to Zhangzhu, and Chu Yuanheng was sitting behind the bookcase reading a letter. When he heard that Yuan Zhen was coming, he looked up at him, and hurriedly greeted: "I heard that you are back, and I haven't seen you for most of the day." ”

Yuan Zhen hurriedly apologized and said: "As soon as I returned to Beijing, I was ...... by the prince Oh, it's right to call the prince, and the prince came to make a will for me to go to the East Palace immediately. ”

Of course, Yuan Heng understood that his younger brother had a very good relationship with Yuan Yan, and as soon as his younger brother returned to Beijing, he must have something important to discuss.

"Have you ever seen your father and mother?"

Yuan Zhen said: "When I got home, I went to see the second elder, and the mother concubine looked a lot tougher, and my father went out before he could speak." ”

Yuan Heng said with a smile: "Father is busy, he has to ask you something, you have to be ready." The two brothers talked about the princess's body again, and Yuan Heng said: "After all, the mother concubine is gradually getting older, but she looks okay, she suffered a serious illness last winter and almost left, but fortunately she survived." ”

Yuan Zhen listened and said, "Since that time, there has been a root cause of the disease, brother, how are you recovering?" ”

Yuan Heng smiled and said: "It's no problem to walk around the ground, you just can't be too tired." Now I don't dare to ride a horse. It's that the weather in the capital is a little hot, you know I'm the most afraid of heat, I can't stand it when it's hot, this is not the hottest time, and I don't know how to pass next month. ”

Yuan Zhen said: "It's good to wait until you go back to Shoufeng in the future." ”

"By the way, you've been in Yanzhou for a year, what's going on over there now?"

Yuan Zhen talked to his brother about the situation in Yanzhou: "At present, Yin Chengzhi is in charge there, General Yin is loyal and honest, and he is also trustworthy, and Song Jinfei has also grown up, and replacing Du Qianhu's position should be just around the corner." The Jin people are now in civil strife, and they can't take care of Dachu's side. ”

When Yuan Heng heard this, he nodded: "You have a lot of channels, and it didn't take long to run a business." ”

Yanzhou is a hole card in their hands.

"Can the prince give you a new task?"

Yuan Zhen thought for a while and said, "It is estimated that I will go to Dali Temple to take a job in a few days." ”

Yuan Heng was very surprised: "Dali Temple? What do you do in Dali Temple? ”

Yuan Zhen smiled: "In the future, my brother will understand." Brother, if I want to marry Miss Fu, I must handle this matter well. ”

Yuan Heng smiled and said, "You finally want to get married?" This is a good thing, so Miss Fu also accepts you? ”

Yuan Zhen nodded, and then Yuan Heng said again: "It's just that the second elder is afraid that there will be some twists and turns, but it doesn't matter, my brother will help you come forward to move them." You finally meet someone who is satisfied, and it will definitely make you tie the knot. ”

The brothers discussed again, talking about what happened when King Jin entered Beijing, and about the disposal of the previous emperor.

"He was a monk of his own volition, and His Majesty finally let him go, but Empress Dowager Yang hanged herself on the night of April 20. It's cheaper for her, and the death of Empress Xiaohe was done by Empress Dowager Yang. Yuan Heng still gritted his teeth when he said this, Empress Xiaohe was their own grandmother, and her own grandmother was killed by Empress Dowager Yang, but they failed to let Empress Dowager Yang subjugate the law.

Yuan Zhen also complained about her grandmother, but the matter has come to this point, and the Empress Dowager Yang has also tasted the consequences.

"I heard that the prince killed Yonglin?"

Yonglin was the previous crown prince and was the same age as Lingbi. Yuan Heng said: "It's Yuan Yan's hand, in the face of such a big child, he can also do it, I have to say that my heart is really hard." ”

Yuan Heng is benevolent, Yuan Zhen knows, he and his brother said: "You can't be soft in the face of political enemies, if Yonglin doesn't die, it will be a big disaster in the future, what about the rest of the princes and princesses?" ”

"They were all degraded, driven out of the capital and never allowed to enter Beijing."

This is the helplessness of being born in the emperor's family.

Although Yuan Heng is a descendant and several years older than Yuan Zhen, he has always admired his younger brother's talent, so he also gave Yuan Zhen advice: "I just experienced a coup d'état, and what I inherited is a mess, and it needs to be governed everywhere." You and Yuan Yan have been friends before, and they will definitely send you a lot of things, and your good performance is to add glory to our Rongwang Mansion. ”

Yuan Zhen smiled, he didn't say anything, Brother Secret Dao was really kind-hearted. Today's emperor is only afraid of guarding them everywhere Rong Wangfu, where will he really entrust him with important tasks.

The brothers talked until late at night, and Yuan Zhen went back to his room to rest.

After a night's rest, Zhangzhu's energy has recovered. The maid finished grooming her, and Zhangzhu pulled her shirt by herself. It is said that Du Yunxu is in the capital, and the Du family is now the grandfather's family, so he has to meet this cousin.

Zhangzhu went to see the princess and explained to her that she wanted to see Du Yunxu. The princess immediately agreed: "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to report to my cousin-in-law, maybe he will be able to come over today when he leaves the palace." ”

There's nothing to worry about, Zhangzhu still wants to meet Li Feng'an. It's been a year since she left the capital, and what happened in the capital this year, the Xun family has made a big move, and what happened to Ruolan, she is anxious to know. It was not good for Li Feng'an to come here to see her, so she asked the princess for instructions to go out.

The princess said with a smile: "Uncle has already told me, if Miss Fu has any needs, she will try her best to meet you, if you want to go out, just let people follow, and I will let people prepare carriages and horses." ”

However, when the time came, Zhangzhu got into the carriage of the palace and prepared to go to Dagongfang to meet the Li family.

Dagongfang was once the location of the General's Mansion, and the General's Mansion once became the courtyard where the concubine's family lived, and she couldn't get in. Now that the previous emperor has fallen, and Concubine Hong's family has also suffered, can she go back to her childhood courtyard to take another look?

After the carriage entered the Dagongfang, it walked more slowly, and the coachman asked Zhangzhu for directions, and Zhangzhu ordered the carriage to stop, and she wanted to get out of the car.

Both sides of the long street are still deserted, and there are few pedestrians. Zhangzhu went all the way to the north, and when he came to the end, the former majestic and magnificent General's Mansion stood in front of him. The last time she came, there were quite a few servants sitting in the porter, but now she saw that the door was closed, and a lock the size of a fist hung from the brass ring.

The Hong family occupied the Xie family's mansion and had no scenery for a few years, and in the blink of an eye, it became an abandoned mansion again.

Zhangzhu stood outside the gate for a long time, and she finally couldn't get inside. Liao Kai came up and said to Zhangzhu: "Miss Fu, let's go to Li's house as soon as possible, the sun is shining here." ”

Zhangzhu got up and agreed, and the two of them went all the way to Li's house.

The Li family still hasn't moved out of Dagongfang, and it didn't take much effort for them to meet Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li was very happy after seeing the palm beads: "When did Miss Fu return to Beijing?" ”

Zhangzhu replied with a smile: "I just said yesterday, how is Mrs. Li lately?" ”

"Miss Lao remembers, everything is fine. Feng'an is not here at this time, I will go to the front to urge you, and the girl will sit down and drink some tea to rest for a while. ”

Over the years, Mrs. Li doesn't seem to have changed at all.
