When Ping Jue met his eldest brother in the family ancestral hall, he had already finished his punishment and knelt, and was climbing on a very high ladder to wipe the ancestral tablet.

"I'll wait for you outside, come down slowly, don't worry." Ping Luo said that, after saluting the ancestors and ancestors, he withdrew.

After waiting for a long time, the younger brother ran out of the ancestral hall, this ancestral hall is cleaned and dusted every day, naturally he is not tired, but Ping Jue really swept all the corners and corners, and did not dare to fool and perfunctory.

Ping Luo glanced at it a few times and reprimanded: "When your brother did this when he was a child, he could lose a layer of skin, just you, and the whole family spoiled him." ”

Ping Jue lowered his head and said honestly: "Big brother, I don't dare anymore." ”

The brothers walked back, and Ping Luo asked: "You don't hesitate to take risks to cheat for others, but no one helps you when something happens, and no one stands up, do you think it's worth it?" ”

Ping Jue responded: "The master said that I was running in the school, so he punished me to stay in the school, they didn't know what was wrong, and they didn't mean not to help me." ”

Ping Luo looked at his younger brother and thought about it for a while before saying: "That's it, people's hearts are warm and cold, you yourself will understand sooner or later, even if you are not careful in making friends, there will always be an end, judge for yourself." However, don't do such a thing anymore, personal fraud is the most hateful, do you think that if everyone in the family is busy, no one will take care of you? ”

Ping Jue shuddered and clutched the placket of his clothes.

Ping Luo asked: "Why didn't you admit it in the school, but you figured it out again when you came back?" ”

Ping Jue muttered: "In the school, the third aunt and sister-in-law are in the ...... I don't want to embarrass them. ”

Ping Luo sighed: "If you don't do this, no one will be ashamed, the queen mother just issued an order, asking you to enter the palace in two days, you ask for more blessings." ”

"Big Brother ......"

"Early tomorrow morning, I will personally take you to the school to make amends to the master."

Ping Jue trotted to keep up with the eldest brother: "But, but the third brother said that this matter was forgotten, and he didn't mention it in the school." ”

Ping Luo suddenly stopped: "What did he say? ”

Ping Jue nodded timidly: "The third and third brother promised me ......"

"Call Rong'er." Ping Luo angrily ordered the accompanying servants, "Get him immediately." ”

Originally, it was Yi Chunxuan who followed Gongzi to Zhengming, but he ran back halfway and told Citron and Cuizhu that Gongzi was miserably trained by the eldest son, and he ran away first because he was afraid.

Citron relayed it to Fu Yi, and said funny and scared: "I heard that the fourth brother ran to see if the fifth son was good, and he was also caught by the eldest son and trained. ”

Fuyi closed the book in his hand, asked the citron to put it away, and said, "Brother Rong, he did it on purpose, you don't have to feel distressed." ”

Citron held the book and asked, "How do you do it on purpose?" ”

Fu Yi said: "I have to let Jue'er remember the lesson, but he is weak and can't beat, not to mention that corporal punishment is never a good thing, and I don't agree with it." But he will feel sorry for his brother, and seeing his brothers being scolded for himself, he won't dare in the future. ”

Citron sighed: "Is it a bitter meat trick, hey...... Miss, how old are you, how old is your aunt, busy with state affairs and family affairs, and you have to teach your younger brother and children in the future. ”

Suddenly mentioning the child, Fu Yi's heart trembled inexplicably, but when she saw Citron go to put the book, she didn't mention it.

After half an hour, Zhu Rong came back, and when he entered the door, he said: "It was all right, Pingli's stupid boy said to his younger brother that even if he was the first in the exam today, he didn't think about cheating, but the eldest brother was angry, saying that the Zhu family had not been so stupid and unmotivated in three hundred years, it was originally Xun Pingjue, and finally the two of us accompanied Pingli and were scolded for a long time." ”

"Citron feels sorry for you, saying that you will do whatever it takes for your brother." Fu Yi hugged his changed clothes and said, "It's not easy to become a family, no wonder Yunzhi must move out, at that time she always said that she had nothing to do, unlike us who had ideals and ambitions, but now I think she is the one who lives the most clearly." ”

Zhu Rong said: "Family, affection, responsibility, it is indeed not easy to let go of these. ”

Fu Yi said: "But my father is like this, my younger brothers and sisters are very pitiful, I can't bear to let them be left alone, wait a few more years, and when they grow up, we will think about our own affairs." ”

Zhu Rong hugged Fuyi into his arms, breathed a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help complaining: "My ears are buzzing, it's all to blame, and I came to mix with each other." ”

Fu Yi stood on tiptoe, blew lightly in his ear, and asked softly, "Are you better?" ”

The citron was about to bring tea in, but through the screen, she saw that the figures were crooked together, and she quickly and quietly withdrew. Looking up and seeing Zhengming and Cuizhu talking under the porch, Cuizhu raised her hand as if wiping her tears, and she ran away without saying a few words.

Citron told the maid on duty at night to stare at the tea, so she went back to the house to find Cuizhu, and saw her wash her face, but she covered her face with a handkerchief, as if she was crying again.

"Zhengming bullied you?" Citron asked.

"No, no." Cuizhu put down her handkerchief in a panic, but revealed a crying face.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just ......"

Citron pulled her to sit down: "Tell me about it." ”

Cuizhu wrapped the handkerchief tighter and tighter, wrung out a few drops of water, and then said hesitantly: "His father and mother, if he doesn't agree to our marriage, his mother will force him to die, he really can't do it, and he will make trouble in the house again." ”

Citron was very angry: "Let the masters be the masters, see what his mother says, not to mention that in the future, you will become relatives, or work in this house, and you will not go to home, what are you afraid of?" ”

Cuizhu said: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Zhengming can be regarded as a filial son." ”

The citron was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard a loud noise in the sky, although it was not in his ears, but the movement was not small.

They were stunned, and Cuizhu said, "Explode spring thunder? ”

Citron was strange: "The spring thunder has been blown up a long time ago, and this is going to be the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

Soon, the house became lively, and the family and the courtyard ran everywhere, and all the masters and subordinates who were sleeping were called up to prevent the fire in the distance from being blown by the wind.

Citron and Cuizhu ran out to look, but saw a fire in the northwest corner.

Zhu Rong had already changed his clothes, and he hurriedly went out with Fuyi, and the couple told each other a few words, and he turned around and left.

Citron rushed to ask "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Fu Yi looked solemn: "Look at the direction, it is the manufacturing department of the Ministry of Industry, where there is gunpowder." ”

In the deep palace, Xiang Qi and Hanzhi, who had not yet fallen asleep, also heard the rumbling sound, and it didn't take long for the chamberlain to come to tell him that the manufacturing department of the Ministry of Industry had gone off and exploded, and there were casualties among the firearms divisions.

Xiang Qi asked, "How many casualties?" ”

Hanzhi was also nervous, worried that his younger brother would still stay there or that something would happen to him.

The waiter replied: "It is being verified, the deputy commander of the palace, Lord Zhu, has arrived at the fire, and now the open flame has been extinguished, but there is still gunpowder in the library, which is not safe." ”

Xiang Qi said to Hanzhi: "I took a look, the newly made firearms and drawings are in the library, and the firearms division has casualties, if you lose these already made firearms, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses." ”

"Your Majesty?"

"Don't worry, I'm afraid Rong'er will take risks."

At this moment, outside the manufacturing office of the Ministry of Industry and the smoke is choking, Zhu Rong has been wandering several times, and when he heard the news, he stopped him and said: "The drawings have been burned a long time ago, and there can be no retention. ”

Zhu Rong clenched his fists: "It's about to bear fruit, I have already scheduled a day to go into the mountain for testing, and now it has fallen short." ”

Kaijiang said: "That's better than death, I warn you, don't do anything, you die, what should you do?" What about the old lady? ”

Zhu Rong's heart was shocked, and he crossed Kaijiang's shoulder and saw the royal driver coming in a hurry.

Finally, at the behest of the emperor, the remaining gunpowder was burned, and a fire was not extinguished until dawn.

The people in the western suburbs of the capital were scorched by the east wind for two whole days, and the scorching heat in the manufacturing place did not completely dissipate until two days later, and people were able to get close to this place to deal with the aftermath.

Zhu Rong stood in a ruin, not only did he finish his hard work day and night for two months, but also lost four firearms masters and seven attendants, such a big disaster, the first emperor reigned for ten years, and it never happened.

The family came to cry and burn the paper, and the wailing outside the manufacturing office was endless, and Zhu Rong's mind was in chaos.

It is said that earlier this morning, some ministers impeached him, saying that he was ineffective in supervising and should bear full responsibility. If he can not die, even if he is dismissed from his post and investigated, and imprisoned to atone for his crimes, so many people have died......

At this time, the carriage of the Duke's Palace slowly stopped nearby, and Fu Yi came dressed in plain clothes, and saw those weeping family members, but the forbidden army guarding here had to drive them away, very ruthless.

"Young lady, you take care of your step." The servant admonished, "When the wind blows here, it's all charcoal, and you cover your mouth and nose." ”

Fuyi didn't care, stepped over the ruins step by step, and walked to her husband's side.

"Brother Rong, you haven't been home for two days." Fu Yi said, "Grandma wants me to pick you up." ”
