Chapter 277: Change the rules
Zhu Rong didn't ask any more, but Fuyi realized that he had been seen through, and the couple secretly became more energetic and came to Mufu as guests first.
When I gave the matchmaker a thank you gift after getting married, Fuyi had already come once, and he was no stranger to the Mu family.
Mrs. Mu likes Fuyi very much, whether in Zhu's house or in her own home, in front of the old lady and the young couple, she said several times that her son is not blessed, and she also wants to help her daughter-in-law.
Today, Mrs. Mu said again: "Where to find a good one for this kid, seeing that he is getting older and older, in two years, I will die of this heart." ”
Fu Yi smiled: "In two years, my aunt will definitely be able to hold her eldest grandson." ”
Mrs. Mu said happily: "To borrow your auspicious words, if two years later, I really hold my eldest grandson, no matter what you want, even the aunt of the big mansion will buy it for you." ”
Kaijiang shook his head on the side: "Didn't you still cry with my father yesterday?" This atmosphere, you have to buy a big house? ”
Mrs. Mu said angrily: "I don't cry poor, he bought some broken copper and iron back, and tinkered with some ancient weapons all day long, and the emperor didn't expect him to fight." ”
Kaijiang said: "Actually, you just saw that I wouldn't get married in two years after I died, so you casually promised Fuyi." ”
Mrs. Mu said angrily: "You are angry, let me fulfill this word, you don't care if I have any money, first care if you have a daughter-in-law." ”
This kind of mother-son bickering can only be seen in the Zhu family between Pingli and the third aunt in Xiyuan, but it is the most common thing in Mufu.
Every time Fuyi comes, I can feel that the atmosphere in Shangshu's Mansion is different from that at home, and several sisters-in-law and Mrs. Mu are also kind-looking, talking and laughing with Mrs. Mu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and not to say that they are as close as mother and daughter, at least they get along well.
However, tonight, it was not Mrs. Mu who invited them to dinner, but to listen to Zhu Rong's chatter, saying that Fuyi couldn't have a meal at home, and he felt sorry for his brother's unsatisfactory life after marriage, so he begged his mother to make a pretense so that he could call Fuyi out.
At this moment, the two of them came in through the front gate, and then went out through the back door, and Kaijiang gave them a small carriage, and said: "Go shopping, don't be too late, don't bump into acquaintances, and come back from here in a while, your descendants are in front, I watch." ”
Fuyi was very happy, and thanked Kaijiang repeatedly, Zhu Rong was also very surprised, patted his brother's shoulder, and took his wife to ride away.
Suddenly leaving home unrestrained, and there were only two of them, Zhu Rong couldn't think of a good place to go for a while.
Fu Yi's brain turned quickly: "I want to see the flower street in the capital." ”
Zhu Rong frowned: "You are a girl's house, what are you going to do in that place?" ”
Fu Yi was full of curiosity: "I've seen it in books, read it in poems, and heard it in other people's mouths, but I've never seen it, so I've only seen it from a distance, okay?" ”
Zhu Rong shook his head: "No, you are messing around, if you let grandma know, break our legs." ”
Fu Yi didn't dare to force it, closed his mouth and stopped entanglement, and retracted behind the curtain.
Seeing this, Zhu Rong softened his heart and said helplessly: "Just take a look at it from a distance, you, you love to provoke troublesome things to do." ”
Fu Yi smiled, didn't dare to tell that Zhu Rong favored her, honestly sat in the carriage, bypassed the clean streets, and ran for a long time before he came to the streets and alleys where you could smell the fat powder without approaching.
At this hour, the shops on the streets elsewhere are closing one after another, and the pedestrians are gradually becoming scarce, but this street is brightly lit and bright as day, with men shuttling among them, and women upstairs and downstairs leaning on the railing to laugh, a ridiculous world of drunkenness.
"Is this allowed by the imperial court?" Fu Yi asked.
"They are just restaurants and inns on the surface, and it depends on whether the court will check it or not." Zhu Rong said, "But our family does not allow our children to set foot in these places, and the side ones are gradually a little out of control, but once they find out, they will get out of the family tree, and don't expect to live from the foundation of the ancestors in the future." As for the descendants of the family, they dare not commit a big taboo and manage it very strictly. ”
Fu Yi sighed: "Brother Rong, let's go, don't let people see you." ”
Zhu Rong turned around, drove forward, found the restaurant he was familiar with, and after saying a word to the shopkeeper, he opened another door to welcome Fu Yi in, and went straight upstairs to the private room.
Waiting for Xiao Er's cooking, he leaned in front of the window to watch the pedestrians on the road, watched the shops on the street close and closed, and also saw a few gorgeous and magnificent official carriages, going to the place where they had just come.
"The dishes are ready, let's eat." Zhu Rong said, "You try the craftsmanship of this shop." ”
Fuyi sat back and saw that the table was full of her favorite food, but she subconsciously thought of the rules at home and asked, "Why is there a rule at home, unless you go to Beppu as a guest, you can't eat anything outside?" ”
Zhu Rong shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it was handed down by the ancestors, at that time, the ancestors were among the nobles, and they might follow the rules copied from anyone's family, as for how the children and grandchildren will abide by it later, three hundred years have passed, there must be many unreasonable places." In the future, you can change everything that you think is inappropriate. ”
Fu Yi asked: "Can it be changed?" ”
Zhu Rong smiled: "Of course you can change it, but not right now, we haven't been in charge yet." ”
Fuyi picked up the chopsticks and said: "When I learned the rules in the ancestral hall after marriage, I was shocked, I thought that the ancestors of the Zhu family were not very good at brains. ”
Zhu Rong was drinking soup and almost choked, so Fuyi hurriedly patted him on the back, and smiled like a flower in her husband's disgusted eyes.
A free meal, the couple ate to their heart's content, and there were almost no people on the street at this hour, Zhu Rong left the carriage in the store and walked back to Mu's house with help.
Passing by Flower Street from a distance again, Zhu Rong saw his wife's eyes full of melancholy, so he asked, "Are you pitiful to those women?" ”
Fu Yi nodded, but shook his head again: "I miss them, it's not rare for me to be pitiful." ”
Zhu Rong took her away, and they were silent for a long time, and after a long time, he said: "If you can fundamentally change all this, it is far more meaningful than sympathy, isn't it?" ”
Fu Yi finally smiled: "What we want to change is not only the rules of our family, but also the rules of the whole world." ”
Zhu Rong said solemnly: "I will do my best, I will not only be a guard for the emperor for the rest of my life." ”
At this moment, in the Duke's Palace, Zhu Chengye took his son to the old lady's house to discuss the matter of the Min family's proposal.
The old lady had a firm attitude: "I have already refused, Mrs. Min can't hold it on her face, if you go to show favor again, it will only make Yun Zhi lose her confidence, and if you marry in the future, you will be bullied by your mother-in-law, how to make it." ”
Zhu Chengye said: "Isn't my mother dissatisfied with Min Yanshi's personality, you have always valued this offspring, and if you missed Min Yanshi, if you want to find a good one for Yunzhi, you can't." ”
The old lady was unmoved: "Don't forget your promise to the ancestors and ancestors, Yunzhi's marriage, you can't interfere." ”
Zhu Chengye gave his son a look, Ping Luo was helpless, and asked, "Grandma, can I see Yunzhi?" ”
The old lady said, "She is asleep, and if there is anything, I will talk about it tomorrow." ”
Zhu Chengye said: "At this hour, you haven't rested, how can she ......?"
"Let's go back!" The old lady was already very impatient, "Don't mention this matter again, you should also be a little bit of the hardness of the descendants of the Loyal Prince's Mansion, what to do in a hurry to marry your daughter, the girl in our family, don't worry about getting married." ”
Zhu Chengye couldn't disobey his mother-in-law, so he retreated abruptly, but when he got to the door, he sent his son: "You stay and persuade again, so you can see a rhyme and ask the girl what she thinks." ”
Ping Luo was helpless, and after seeing his father leave, he turned back to his grandmother.
The old lady looked at her eldest grandson and asked, "When Yanran grows up, she knows that her in-laws' family is difficult and she will inevitably be wronged if she marries, are you willing to do it?" ”
Ping Luo said: "Don't say Yanran, just the current rhyme, and the grandson is reluctant." Your granddaughter-in-law came out of that family, don't I know what Dexing is in their family? It's just because I'm in the way of my father that I said those words, don't take it seriously, it's not good for my grandson to oppose my father in person, but in this matter, my grandson is on your side. ”
The old lady said, "My grandchildren never let me down." ”
Ping Luo came to support his grandmother and said: "But it's so dignified, how did the Min family think of this stubble, when they proposed to Rong'er for Min Chulin before, didn't they already turn their faces, how could a person like Mrs. Min be arrogant." ”
The old lady sighed: "There are seven or eight things in it, anyway, this thing can't be done, you don't have to ask, save some face for your sister." ”
Ping Luo said: "It's a pity that Yan Shisheng is in such a family, and my brother-in-law really doesn't have to choose." ”
The old lady walked to the door, and saw that there was no fire in Yunzhi's room, and the child had not eaten dinner, so she was bored in the room, feeling distressed while warning herself that she must not be shaken.
In order to cope with his father, Ping Luo accompanied his grandmother to talk for a while before leaving, passing by Qingqiu Pavilion, just to see the newly married couple returning.
He said angrily: "The family is in a circle, and you two are free." ”
Zhu Rong was in front of his brother, not daring to shake off his usual majesty, and he was also shy, standing quietly aside.
"My younger brothers and sisters have worked hard, there are so many things at home and outside the house, and I have to teach Huaifeng and Yanran." Ping Luo said seriously, "If you can't be busy, just tell your sister-in-law that the two of them are still young and are not in a hurry to study, so don't be too reckless." ”
"Yes." Fu Yi answered, but when he saw his brother coming from the inner courtyard, he asked, "Has the eldest brother seen Yunzhi?" ”
Ping Luo shook his head: "It is said that I haven't eaten dinner and has been in the house all the time." ”
The couple glanced at each other, and Zhu Rong sent the eldest brother to the East Garden, and after they walked away, they went straight to the inner courtyard to find Yunzhi.
