Chapter 253: Zhu Rong is punished
Just when Min Yanshi was in trouble, the emperor sent someone to give a banquet, leaving the old minister to reunite with the concubine's father and daughter, they had to go to the main hall to thank him, and then talked about state affairs with the emperor, and put the marriage on hold.
For all this, Min Yanshi didn't care, but cared more about the imperial court and the Zanxi people who came to the border.
But unexpectedly, when he was about to leave the palace that day, he heard his mother mention something terrible to the concubine.
Although Mrs. Min and the concubine are not very close, but the interests are the same, each other uses each other, at this moment she is for her daughter to discuss with the concubine, Min Chulin actually ignored Zhu Rong's order to marry, begging the concubine to think of a child, so that she can have the opportunity to marry into the Zhu family again.
Looking at the capital, the foundation of the Zhu family is deep, and no one can match it.
This time Zhu Rong got married, Princess Jing came all the way to the banquet, she and her family have been in the south for a long time, and the people in the capital almost forgot that the old lady of the Zhu family also has a daughter who is married to the Shen family, which can hold the gold medal of avoiding death and can walk sideways in Daqi.
Min Chulin is understandable for taking a fancy to the Zhu family's family background, but she is married, what else does she want?
I remember my aunt said: "The second child of their family is gone, otherwise it is suitable to marry him, but there is a fourth child in the third room, and Chu Lin is the same age, and it is not difficult to say goodbye in two years." It's this wish, people are ordered to get married, and I have no way. ”
However, the mother relayed her daughter's words: "Only Zhu Rong is qualified to inherit the family business, unless Zhu Rong and his wife are destroyed, so that the fourth elder of the third room will be the lord, otherwise Zhu Rong will not marry." ”
Naturally, this conversation broke up unhappily, and when she returned home from the palace, Min Yanshi touched her cold hand when she helped her mother into the carriage.
At that moment, I didn't think about whether my distressed mother was cold, but I felt that the hands of cold-blooded and ruthless people must be cold.
The carriage and horse returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, passing through the boundary of the Zhujia Territory, the prosperity of the Duke's Palace, and even the entire street in front of the door was them, Min Yanshi raised the curtain, stared at it, and did not put it down until the carriage and horse walked by.
I hope that Fu Yi wishes his family a good life, and I hope that Zhu Rong can cherish and protect his wife.
The more Min Yanshi thought about it, the more he felt ridiculous, in what capacity and what position did he stand? He can't even be the master of his own life.
When the sun set and the moon rose, and the lights came on, Zhu Chengqian returned home and learned about the daytime.
Such an incident happened in the newlywed house not long ago, and he was really jealous and angry, but when he came to his mother, he was as untenable as his wife, and the old lady could only come forward to make the decision on this matter, and he could no longer blame him.
Back in Xinghuatang, the eldest lady sneered in front of her: "What if that girl studies more, after all, she is a countryman who can't get on the stage, have you ever seen someone in this family give a reward to the chief steward and only give a penny?" More jokes are still to come, don't blame me for not helping you train your daughter-in-law, if I get a little louder, your mother will call me to reprimand, granddaughter-in-law is a baby, I am a weed, can it be the same? ”
Zhu Chengqian said angrily: "You don't have to speak sourly, it is your responsibility to train your daughter-in-law after all, I promised you that I will never interfere, you just have to let it go." ”
Seeing that her husband was more or less biased towards herself, the eldest lady swallowed half of her breath and said, "I don't have the energy to take care of your family's affairs, and the current troubles in the court are what bother me." Don't blame me for not reminding you, listen to my brother, there are some young people in the capital who are suspicious and are suspected of colluding with the traitorous party, you have to pay attention to what your son does, don't be harmed by him one day, I don't know how to die. ”
Zhu Chengqian said solemnly: "Don't be alarmist, Rong'er is the emperor's person, I have carefully cultivated him since he was a child, and he can distinguish the stakes from the stakes." ”
The eldest lady said coldly: "It's better to give me a clear word, there will be that day, when the time comes, will you abandon the Yang family, the queen and the prince." ”
"Do you want to die together?" Zhu Chengqian said, "Only by saving one's life can we talk about the future, and when there is really one day, we will talk about who abandons whom, and we can hope to survive first." ”
The eldest lady frowned and asked her husband nervously, "What happened, are they dead or alive?" ”
Zhu Chengqian said: "Rong'er went to investigate, why do you think he left Beijing again and again?" I hope this time, he can return with the heads of the father and son. ”
The eldest lady snorted: "I heard that the old lady originally asked her granddaughter-in-law to accompany her, what kind of accompanying method is this?" The young ones are not sensible, and the old ones are also blindly mixed up, doesn't she know what her grandson is going to do? ”
Zhu Chengqian sighed deeply: "Housework was put aside in advance, and now the border Zanxi people are menacing, which can be described as internal and external troubles. ”
In Qingqiu Pavilion, Fuyi waited for a long time, but she didn't see her father-in-law send someone to summon her, so she was silently relieved, and finally ordered someone to close the door and turn off the lights, so she could rest.
The maids served the young lady to wash and make the bed, and after Fuyi lay down, they put down the curtain and blew out the candles one by one, until the bedroom door was closed, and Fuyi sighed a long sigh.
This is the first night after marriage that I can't wait for Zhu Rong, the huge bed is empty, her body is cold, and she unconsciously hugs the quilt, missing her husband's warm and powerful body.
"Brother Rong......" Fu Yi turned to the side, as if he was sleeping close to his husband on weekdays, and read softly, "It's so difficult, my ambitions are ridiculous, I can't even do the things in front of me." How can we get along with them in peace, blindly groveling, scolding and beating back? ”
It's a pity that the room is quiet, no one answers her, and Fuyi thinks that at the moment she is in the wide and soft bed, but her husband may be sleeping in the open air, sleepless at night to run errands for the emperor, and even facing life and death danger, she is distressed.
If Zhu Rong's task is to serve the world and the common people, she still thinks that it is worth it, but Brother Rong climbed mountains and waded through the entire country for the emperor, just to satisfy the emperor's selfishness, she really can't forgive.
In this way, her belief was strengthened more and more in her heart, and no matter what the situation at home was tomorrow, she wanted to see the county lord as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Zhu Chengqian was worried about state affairs and had no time to discipline and help him, so he only ordered someone to replace all the furniture in the hall of Qingqiu Pavilion with a new one, and the eldest lady was not qualified to point fingers on this matter because she had fallen her daughter's child with her own hands, and Fu Yi was temporarily exempted from the embarrassment of her in-laws.
However, the old lady's way of handling this matter, Fuyi could not fully agree, she thought that the official would be cut by the yamen, and took this opportunity to let Cuizhu and her husband's family separate, but in the end, she sent the family a hundred taels of silver to settle the matter, and the matter was over.
Cuizhu is temporarily kept in her mother's house in the backyard, far away from where the masters live, and there are not a few people in this family who are born, old, sick and die in a year, and there is nothing bad or bad luck.
Grandmother said that Cuizhu was willing to stay by Fuyi's side to serve in the future, but her father-in-law did not agree, and decided that the girl was unlucky, so she compromised and turned back to wait for Cuizhu to recover, and stayed in the garden to play with flowers and plants.
All this is easy to say, but what is not convinced is to give the scoundrel a hundred taels of silver in turn, and the beast killed his own child and got the benefits, what kind of reason is this.
But she also understands the importance of settling things to the family, and her grandmother said that day that the aristocracy does not want to go to court.
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Rong left Beijing for three days, it should be the agreed day to go home, and Fuyi waited early, even if he heard that he entered the palace or went to the forbidden army mansion.
Zhu Chengqian was the same, people were sent everywhere outside the palace to wait, and he had to inform him as soon as there was news, but in the end he was disappointed, and his son returned empty-handed and failed to bring back the heads of the father and son.
Zhu Rong's trip was not to kill anyone, otherwise he wouldn't have thought about going out with Fuyi, but what he was going to do, Fuyi didn't know, Zhu Chengqian didn't know, only the emperor understood.
Just when Zhu Rong entered the palace and was about to leave the palace, he saw the guards in front of him chasing someone from a distance, he immediately joined the camp, and Mu Kaijiang led people to outflank him from the rear, and the group approached under the palace wall, and he watched the figure come out of the wall.
The wall of the imperial city is four or five zhang high, and it is not difficult to climb up from the inside, but it is not difficult to climb down, the outside is the moat, and the streets and alleys of the capital are after the moat, even Zhu Rong does not dare to guarantee that he can retreat with his whole body.
When the crowd rushed out of the city walls and boarded the boat into the moat, the Assassin was long gone, and the bloodstains along the shore disappeared after a few steps.
Zhu Rong and Kaijiang chased along the bloodstains to the end, and Kaijiang sighed: "Good guy, he is a practitioner, and dozens of people can't catch him." What's even more daring is that it broke into the palace in broad daylight, the sun has not yet set, and it is also going to kill us, how can we communicate to the emperor? ”
"I can only tell the truth, the court staff is still a prison, and there is no way to escape." Zhu Rong said coldly, "We can't let our subordinates be substitutes for the dead ghosts, who will follow us in the future?" ”
The imperial city was lost, and the thieves were let in in broad daylight and retreated, and they were held responsible, and Zhu Rong and Mu Kaijiang could not escape the blame.
On this side, she was still looking forward to her husband coming home early, but before she came back, news came that her husband and the son of the Mu family were severely punished by the emperor's court for dereliction of duty.
Fu Yi was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, wandering outside the gate of Qingqiu Pavilion, he saw his father-in-law change his official robe, and hurriedly wanted to enter the palace.
He saw the help and said coldly: "Don't be stunned, prepare medicine, and when I bring people back, you have to serve them well." ”
