Zhu Rong didn't expect that the eldest brother would gather his family together and not discuss anything, just be lively until this hour.

He can't remember when the last time he had such a day, as if after becoming an adult, playing and having fun has nothing to do with him.

But tonight's happiness, the hearts of brothers and sisters are united, and the deep brotherhood is the foundation of their generation to continue the foundation of the family for 300 years.

Back in the bedroom, Fu Yi took off the bead earrings in front of the mirror, and said: "I'm hungry with a smile, are you hungry, can you have some supper?" ”

Outside the door, Cuizhu and Citron came in, and had already prepared pine nut porridge and side dishes, and steamed a basket of spring bamboo shoots and meat stuffed dumplings.

"I'll tell you first, the matter of harmony is that the queen mother put the Taiwei Mansion together, this time, I feel that Xing may have something to do with the eldest sister." Zhu Rong analyzed, "We must investigate the matter, but we don't know how to make a move, so as not to spoil the queen's calculations." ”

Fu Yi thought for a while and said: "The imperial concubine is old and sick, I heard the eldest princess say, it has only been a year or two, the recent news from the concubine palace, and some words of discord with the mother, behind it are the eldest princess of Yongqing who is making trouble. Brother Rong, you think, once the concubine dies, the eldest princess will lose her protection, and now it is only because the concubine is kind to Prince Sheng that she dares to be arrogant. ”

Zhu Rong said: "Therefore, she must calculate, after the death of the concubine, how she will continue to preserve the existing dignity, but it is obvious that our emperor and queen do not eat her set, and they do not take this aunt in their eyes." ”

Fu Yi gently stirred the pine nut porridge in the bowl, and said thoughtfully: "How can Niang Niang calculate, she will spread rumors about me and peace, and then our family will be famous, find trouble with the eldest princess, and then peel off her true face step by step." ”

Zhu Rong said: "I'm afraid we are just one of the nets in the queen's hand, coincidentally, the fish has entered our net, you think, you go back and forth, it's okay, it's okay, and the eldest sister is not too risky." ”

Fu Yi smiled bitterly: "Niangniang is accurate, I don't care about these things, unlike other women, if you lose your reputation, you will have to die or live." ”

Zhu Rong said: "Maybe, if it is really the eldest princess who has the intention of rebellion, her heart can be punished, and your sacrifice of peace and reason is worth it." ”

Fu Yi unconsciously glanced out of the door: "Our family's descendants, are they still credible?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "The eldest brother and sister-in-law will clean up the door on the premise of not making any trouble, and you and I don't have to worry about family affairs." ”

Fu Yi sandwiched the steamed dumplings and gave it to him: "The eldest princess will ask you to investigate, the missing descendants, you have to see people alive or dead." ”

Zhu Rong said coldly: "My eldest brother and I both feel that I am afraid that we are dead." ”

Fu Yi shook his head: "On the contrary, I think that they will not kill people so quickly, a living person is locked up, just give some food and drink, but it is a dead person, the corpse must be dealt with first, whether it is buried or burned, someone must always deal with it, which is more attention-grabbing." ”

Zhu Rong said: "What do you mean, that person may be hiding in the eldest princess's mansion?" ”

Fu Yi said: "After a day of peace, you must not be idle, but the eldest princess's mansion, you must not have checked yet." ”

Zhu Rong ate the dumplings in one bite: "Tomorrow, I will take Pingli around." ”

Fu Yi advised: "Be careful. ”

On this night, the lights in the courtyards of the Duke's Palace were not extinguished until midnight, but the people were happy to see their masters, and the panic caused by those broken things almost dissipated as the dawn came.

Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, the days are getting warmer day by day, and the coolness and comfort of the morning are precious.

Later, several sisters-in-law led the children to play, and after the children left, she read the book alone for a while, the sun was getting warmer, and she couldn't help but feel sleepy, Qin Ying held the book and fell asleep unconsciously.

When I woke up, I heard my grandfather's voice say, "How can the old man believe you?" ”

Qin Ying sat up unconsciously, only to hear an unfamiliar voice across the low wall: "The student was once taken in by the master and received the favor of the Duke's Palace, not only could he not repay him, but because of the student's reckless behavior, he almost harmed his benefactor. Now that the students have encountered this great rebellion, they cannot stand idly by, and ask Lord Taiwei to uphold justice. ”

When Qin Ying heard this, it involved the two families of Yan and Zhu, so she speculated whether it was the rumor that the third sister-in-law of the Zhu family and Zhu Pingli had spread in the past two days.

But I heard my grandfather say, "Why don't you go straight to the Duke's palace to repay your kindness and compensation, and come to the old man, but you have other plans?" ”

That person said: "The day before yesterday, the lady of your mansion went to Huguo Temple to burn incense and make a vow, and between the words, she mentioned that she owed the queen and the duke's mansion a great favor......

Grandfather said angrily: "Presumptuous, you are a scholar, how can you eavesdrop on people everywhere? ”

The man said, "I am a worshipper of the Buddha, but I have no defense in my heart, and I have no scruples about my words, and I am not eavesdropping on my students. ”

My grandfather asked, "What are you trying to do?" ”

The man said: "The student should never be in the official career, but the student is dedicated to serving the country, and I have another recommendation system for the court, if this time can help the Lord Taiwei pay off the kindness owed, the student is willing to be a guest, and if I am fortunate enough to get your trust and favor in the future, I implore Lord Taiwei to recommend the student to the imperial court." ”

When Qin Ying heard these words, he understood that the person who was talking to his grandfather was the one who disturbed the scientific field a while ago, was stripped of all his fame, and was not allowed to perform scientific examinations in this life.

At this time, I suddenly heard my grandfather asking, "What are you doing here?" ”

Then the little maid replied in a panic: "Little and Miss are dozing there...... Slaves and maidservants are here to serve. ”

Qin Ying panicked, hurriedly lay down and covered with a blanket, and continued to sleep.

But when he heard the footsteps, like his grandfather was coming, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then reproached his subordinates: "How can I leave Miss and run away by myself, let her sleep here without fear of catching a cold, no matter how warm the sun is, it has not yet entered the summer, you are messing around!" ”

The maids rushed to wake up the young lady, Qin Ying had to be scolded by her grandfather, and then she was sent back to the boudoir, and then she didn't know how grandpa sent the person called Shizhan.

Until the evening, Qin Hao came to visit his sister and mentioned the matter of the Zhu family, saying that the missing domestic servants of their family had not been found, Zhu Pingli was so angry that he couldn't do it, today in the school, someone made a disrespectful speech, and he almost fought with someone.

"The third sister-in-law of the Zhu family is definitely not that kind of person." Qin Ying said, "If you can find out, it would be good to return her innocence." ”

Qin Hao said: "This is inevitable, we don't have to worry about doing things for the family." ”

Qin Ying said, "Brother, I have something to ask you. ”

"What do you ask for, you just have to say, as long as you don't go to kiss, you can do anything." Qin Hao smiled, "Do you want me to bring you a few books?" ”

Qin Ying shook his head and said, "I'm afraid, if the days go longer, grandpa forgot to promise me to study, if someone can remind him." ”

As an elder brother, he can't help but be a little embarrassed: "You know, I can't speak in front of my grandfather, maybe I will hurt you." ”

Qin Ying said timidly: "So I think it would be good if I could ask the Duke's Mansion to remind Grandpa." ”

Qin Hao's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed: "It's on me, no, it's on Zhu Pingli, and he will help you realize it." But now he can't come in a hurry, he's annoyed, and when these rumors are resolved, you're hurt. ”

At this time, Pingli changed into his night clothes and followed the third brother from the backyard of the eldest princess of Yongqing.

Before climbing over the wall, he said seriously: "Brother, I promised my mother that I would never wear night clothes again." ”

Zhu Rong looked at him: "Otherwise, you can leave now." ”

Pingli smiled and followed his brother to turn in neatly, but he couldn't help but wonder: "Why don't you wait for the dead of night to come in, it's so dangerous for people to come and go at this time." ”

Zhu Rong said: "The more quiet it is in the dead of night, the easier it is to be exposed, and you can hear the slightest movement, and now you have footsteps when you walk, no one will be surprised." ”

Pingli said: "This eldest princess's mansion is not small, where can we search?" ”

Zhu Rong thought about it and said decisively: "Go to the kitchen." ”

In the Duke's Palace, Fu Yi waited uneasily, for fear that the eldest princess of Yongqing would set a trap at home, so that the Zhu family would fall into the net, but because of this, Zhu Rong said that he could not send someone else, so that he could ensure that he could escape with his whole body.

As the hours passed, Fu Yi became more and more restless, regretting that when he entered the palace today, he did not make it clear to the eldest sister, but Zhu Rong told her not to tell the eldest sister about their plans first, saying that there was no tacit understanding with each other, so that everything looked more natural.

When Citron saw Miss dangling around the room, she couldn't help but worry: "I've never seen you so nervous, Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Fu Yi said angrily: "I'm not a fairy Bodhisattva, I am mortal and physical, I should be nervous and afraid of more things." Don't stare at me, go to the door and see, Brother Rong has come back. ”

Before the words fell, I heard the familiar footsteps coming from outside the courtyard gate, Zhu Rong seemed to deliberately make a movement, so that she could feel at ease earlier, and ran out of the door with help, and saw her husband standing with all his beards and tails, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but asked, "What about Pingli?" ”

"Go back to Xiyuan." Zhu Rong's face was calm, and he stepped forward to hold her, "Let's talk about it when we enter the house, this matter is interesting." ”
