Chapter 148: The Mind of Opening the Frontier
Kaijiang became excited again, and complained: "If it were my sister, I would have broken her leg a long time ago, that little girl, the most hateful thing about her is that she is now openly provoking me, as if I will not tell the emperor." Where did she get the courage, where did she get the confidence that I wouldn't denounce her? ”
The more Zhu Rong listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, not only did Kaijiang's words and expressions gradually become strange, but even the county lord's attitude was also strange, he only heard the fan whirring, and Kaijiang read angrily: "That little girl, she is really not afraid of death, and if she goes to the emperor by another person, it is enough for her to die eight hundred times." ”
"Open the frontier?" Zhu Rong became serious.
"Do what?" Kaijiang asked angrily.
"You're not afraid, the emperor has arranged someone else to spy on the county lord or you, and if you hide something and don't report it, won't you get into trouble?" Zhu Rong naturally cares more about the life and death of Kaijiang, "Don't be careless." ”
Kaijiang said: "These words, I only say these words, I have never shown my face outside, and I have reported to the emperor, but my ability is limited, and others can monitor and track things, I can't here, can't I?" ”
"You ......"
"How?"
"Do you like the county lord?" Zhu Rong asked straight to the point.
The whirring fan stopped suddenly, and large beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead, and he was stunned for a long time before he slowly shook it twice, and the bull head asked the horse: "When will you go back to the forbidden military mansion, the wound is not healed?" ”
When Zhu Rong saw him like this, he didn't ask any more questions, and answered: "Five days later." ”
Kaijiang got up and clenched his fists: "Then I want to shout first, I wish my lord." ”
Speaking of the promotion and reward of the brothers, Mu Shangshu was very happy for his son, and praised him rarely, and the eldest brother who opened the frontier also gave him a cold iron dagger to congratulate his younger brother.
The only unhappy person in the family is the mother, saying that if her son doesn't get married, it's not interesting to be a big official.
These words turned back to the major events of life, and Kaijiang was afraid that Zhu Rong would mention the little county lord again, so he quickly stopped, went to the door to summon Zhengming, and asked him to ask the old lady if he could stay for dinner.
He turned to Zhu Rong and said: "The emperor's reward silver, I didn't give it to my mother, she asked me twice, I didn't take it out, I thought about saving it and setting up a house outside, you see in this city, where is the feng shui good?" ”
Zhu Rong said casually: "My second brother's house is empty, do you want to live?" ”
Kaijiang took it seriously: "What's the matter, your second uncle didn't go back to the house?" ”
"The title deed is in my hands." Zhu Rong said, "It has nothing to do with the second uncle." ”
Kaijiang became happy: "When I go to clean up, I will be annoyed by my mother in the future, I will go to live there, but don't tell anyone." ”
As she spoke, Sister-in-law Li came back, because she sent melons and fruits to Qingqiu Pavilion, Miss Yan also had a return gift, which was two sachets stuffed with wormwood mint.
Kaijiang deliberately flipped the sachet over and over: "How can I take this thing that Miss Yan sewed with her own hands, Sister-in-law Li, don't you smell the strange sourness in this house?" ”
Sister-in-law Li understood in her heart, pretended to be confused, and only smiled: "The sachet sewn by Miss Yan was sent to the old lady, this is sewn by the three girls, and Miss Yan just has herbs in it." ”
Kaijiang laughed at Zhu Rong, as if he was happy to laugh at him, and he was curious: "It turns out that in your study, you are still learning to be popular?" ”
Sister-in-law Li said: "This is for fun in my spare time, and I naturally study seriously in the study." ”
Seeing Zhengming coming back from the inner courtyard, he said that the old lady had passed dinner in half an hour, and specially added a few more dishes for Mu Gongzi, and had already sent the little maid to Shangshu Mansion to complain.
For a while, he and Sister-in-law Li retreated, and Kaijiang became serious again, saying: "Your eldest lady has close contacts with Mrs. Chen of Taishi Mansion, and whether this matter can reach her head or not, I think it is very suspenseful." ”
"That's also her own sin, my father will deal with these things, I'm not worried." Zhu Rong said, "But with her personality, if she retreats this time and is not involved, after the incident, it will only get worse, thinking that no one can do anything to her." Hopefully, my dad will weigh in and make a decision that will deter her. ”
"I heard from my subordinates that when the eldest lady left the palace today, she was pale and frightened." "It seems that the queen should have taught her a lesson." ”
Zhu Rong shook his head helplessly: "It's useless, in less than a month, she will definitely relapse into her old ways." ”
When it comes to the adoptive mother, I can't think about the eldest sister, so Zhu Rong said: "There is something to bother you to pretend to be stupid again, and on that day, you will find something for yourself to do, don't go to the vicinity of the Kishu Mansion to monitor." ”
"What are you going to do?" Kaijiang was a little nervous, "You want to enter the palace to investigate?" ”
Zhu Rong said: "I just sent my eldest sister to reunite with the princess's mother and daughter, and tried to make her sober up, maybe I can think of something when I see my mother-in-law and sister-in-law." At that time, Yunzhi and Fuyi will accompany the escort, and I will only answer outside the house. ”
Speaking of the eldest sister of the Zhu family, Kaijiang was not taken care of when she was a child, and she couldn't help sighing: "Compared with your eldest lady, my mother is a little more verbose, I should be satisfied." ”
Zhu Rong deliberately asked again: "If you are still the county lord, your aunt will wake up laughing in her dreams." ”
Kaijiang immediately glared at him, blushing angrily, but he didn't know how to refute.
He was very scared, afraid that he really liked the little girl. But such a beautiful girl, looking at it in his eyes every day, came back to his senses, and he didn't know when he had put it in his heart.
Because the old lady invited Kaijiang to the inner courtyard for dinner, the girls naturally went tonight, but the same dish was sent to Qingqiu Pavilion.
Fuyi and Yunzhi sat opposite each other, holding a small porcelain bowl and eating slowly, seeing that Yunzhi's appetite was not bad, he silently put his heart at ease.
Everyone in the family knows that the second lady came back from the palace proudly in the spring breeze, and walked everywhere swaggeringly, I don't know what the concubine promised her today, and the person who had been depressed for a long time because of the departure of her youngest son finally raised her eyebrows and exhaled again.
But no matter what, when it comes to the concubine, Yunzhi will inevitably be inseparable.
If it were the past, Yun Yi would not have been able to live in peace, but Fu Yi saw Yun Zhi becoming more and more stable and introverted, and she finally understood that she had already passed the age when she could be satisfied if she lost her temper and cried.
"Why don't you eat, don't you have an appetite?" Yunzhi said, "The hotter days haven't come yet, if you really can't stand it, let's go and talk to grandma, how about going to Zhuangzi in the north to escape the heat?" ”
"It's not that hot." Fu Yi said, "I want to worry about it." ”
"What's on your mind?" Yun Zhi asked casually, and even kindly remembered the matter of Fuyi and the third brother, and persuaded, "Don't go to your heart, there are many people in this family, it is inevitable that there will be broken mouths, since you and my brother don't see each other, then be brothers and sisters frankly, no matter what they say." ”
Fuyi was full of guilt, and gave Yunzhi a dish and said, "Eat more, this is delicious." ”
At this time, the citron sent the cold soup, Fuyi picked up the bowl by himself, and a spoonful of soup was just sent to the mouth, and Yunzhi on the opposite side suddenly said: "My third brother can't do it, otherwise, how do you think of Pingli?" ”
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Fuyi was choked by himself, and covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed violently.
Yun Zhi said guiltily: "Okay, okay, I won't mention it, don't worry, I know that our brothers are not blessed." ”
Two days after that, many of the irrelevant masters and subordinates in the Taishi's Mansion were released, but many other officials and female dependents were arrested.
Just because some of the transactions went to court, they were not a matter of mutual willingness, and those handmaidens and even young children were still forcibly bought and sold, which involved a lot of corruption and perversion of the law.
The eldest lady does not see anyone in Xinghuatang every day, and she does not know what her situation is, only the kitchen can know that the eldest lady is not good, and the meals sent every day are sent back intact.
It was a small summer, the ladies hugged the old lady to the ancestral hall to pay homage, the third lady gradually showed her arms, with a rich state, the old lady prayed for the fetus in her womb, and saluted with incense, the family just stood still, and someone hurriedly ran from the front yard.
The eldest lady's face was extremely bad, worried that the emperor was going to send someone to arrest her, but the person who came reported the good news, saying that the emperor had issued an order to send General Jin, the brother of the third lady's mother's family, to the south to suppress the Minglian Sect.
Although a good thing is a good thing, the third lady still has to worry about the safety of her brother, turned around and knelt in front of the tablet of the ancestors of the Zhu family, and prayed for her brother in a heartfelt manner.
When the family dispersed, the second lady took her subordinates to Dongyuan, and said to Zhou's mother all the way: "You say that the Jin family is ridiculous, let the ancestors of the Zhu family bless their Jin family's descendants?" Laughing to death. ”
Mother Zhou saw that Mrs. had gotten carried away again in the past few days, and was very uneasy, and persuaded: "That is also the uncle of the fourth son and the fifth girl, and the ancestors of the Zhu family are generous and tolerant, so they are naturally willing to bless and bless." ”
The second lady said angrily: "Forget it, how many people did the emperor send before and after the Minglian Sect, and how many catties and taels her brother had, she still doesn't know?" ”
