Chapter 428: The Matter of Protection
"Aunt Jin, send the girl back to the yard first. m.”
Aunt Jin's words hurriedly sent people out.
After the people left, Zhu Jiu then explained to Nanlin to invite his brother to come in. Previously, it was Zhu Feng, the eldest young master in the Zhu family, who was previously the eldest young master in the second room of the west.
After the civil strife, there were only the third room in the south and the second room in the west of the Zhu family.
Zhu is a lot more deserted in the house, and there are only two housewives, and life is also a lot poor.
Even the aunts and concubines in the two-room door are not as good as before. Although the word Zhu family is still there, after all, time has passed, and when it comes to the Zhu family, it is also related to Prince Ling.
The portals that used to move around are still there, and they don't move much anymore.
As soon as the catastrophe passed, it was difficult for the mothers of the two houses to walk outside the door, but many small portals also had contacts with the Zhu family.
There is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and now that the family is in a recession, there is not a girl who marries in the Shao family.
In other words, even if the Zhu family is in a recession, the eldest young lady of the Shao family, and the general's wife, can't go to her mother's house like outsiders.
After this day, it is necessary to support it.
Zhu Jiu and Zhu Feng, the elder brother, had only met a few times when they were in the door before, and they had never said a few words.
It doesn't matter if there is much contact, but now that people can come to visit, Zhu Jiu is naturally happy in his heart.
Zhu Feng was the champion of scientific research before, and was later transferred to the Yangcheng Prefecture to serve as a county official from Liupin. In the matter of Prince Ling, he made up for it, and now he is still from the sixth rank and has never been transferred.
It's just that I'm here today, and it's not a special trip to see Zhu Jiu, but it's just that he was transferred to the Yucheng Prefecture to serve as the county magistrate of Xinzhong County.
If not, it would be inconvenient to come to the door.
Not long after the Zhu family passed, even if he really came to visit relatives at the door of the Shao family, he would let others criticize him, so as not to bring some unnecessary trouble to the younger sister.
Since he was transferred to Yucheng, if he didn't join the Shao family, how could he be reasonable.
This person came in the door, looked at Zhu Jiu and gave a big salute first, "Zhu Feng has seen the general's wife." ”
"Brother, don't be polite." Zhu Jiu knew this etiquette, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Brother, sit down quickly." ”
Zhu Jiu is the general's wife, and Zhu Feng is a courtier, this etiquette is indispensable.
After making a big salute, I sat down, which is the talk of brother and sister.
"I also came by the way this time, it is true that I haven't seen you for a long time, and when I learned that you were pregnant, my mother asked me to bring you some things." Zhu Feng said goodbye and handed the burden to Nan Lin, who was waiting on the side, and Nan Lin hurriedly took it.
Zhu Jiu bowed slightly, with a smile on his face, which showed that he was happy in his heart, "Mother Lao is worried, I don't know how my mother is doing recently?" ”
"There is nothing else to do in the house, my mother and Mrs. Yun drink tea and talk together every day, and the aunts of each room gather by my side, which is also a lot more relieved." Zhu Feng said the situation of the family, and Rong Er came in with tea outside, Zhu Feng took the tea, took a sip, and glanced at the maid in the house.
Seeing this, Nan Lin hurriedly took Rong'er down, and sent the maids in the courtyard back to the house.
This time, the two waited outside to serve.
Seeing that everyone was going out, Zhu Feng straightened his face, "The Zhu family was saved, and it was also a loss for my sister to be in the Shao family." Earlier, Nan Sanfang's uncle got a letter sent by the general in private, so that he could make meritorious contributions to the matter of grain and grass. ”
"In our second room in the west, Brother Jiang and I also got the guidance of the general. If this is not the case, I am afraid that the Zhu family will not be able to keep one room. ”
People are not as good as the sky, with the prosperity of the previous Zhu family, who would have thought that an inconspicuous girl in the past is now different from the past.
It is said that feng shui turns around, and now it has also turned away.
Zhu Feng often sighed in those days, fortunately, his mother did not treat this sister harshly in the door, otherwise there would be palpitations in today's heart.
Zhu Jiu didn't know that the Zhu family had something to do with the Shao family, but he didn't want this matter to be completely decided by his husband.
The husband never mentioned this matter to her, and she didn't ask.
"This matter is in the past, what are the plans of my brother in the future?" Zhu Jiu asked casually, it will be a little difficult for the Zhu family to turn over again in the future.
Zhu Feng heard this and replied, "I was in Yangcheng Prefecture before, which is quite far away from Jinzhou. In the previous border battle, many people fled in Yucheng, and one of the county commanders on the state capital secretly collected money, and after being dismissed, I applied for an order. It happened that the general stayed in the dynasty for a year and entered the state capital, and the appointment was also convenient. ”
He was transferred to Yucheng, first, the Shao family was here, and secondly, Yucheng was much closer to Jinzhou than Yangcheng.
My sister is also in Yucheng, and it is convenient for the left and right.
Hearing that her brother had transferred the order to the Yucheng Prefecture, Zhu Jiu was surprised, this was her mother's family coming closer to her.
Thinking that Mrs. Shao had not allowed her to go back to her parents' house before, I am afraid that ..... It's not that she won't be allowed to go back to her parents' house, but that her husband won't go around with her parents' house too much.
"That's very good." Zhu Jiu didn't understand the things of the official rank outside, and talked about the affairs of the family, Zhu Feng didn't plan to stay longer, he still had to go to the state capital and hand over the documents first.
Zhu Jiu sent Nanlin to send people out.
Then he explained that Miao Lin went to prepare the dishes that her husband likes to eat, although it is difficult to thank the husband and wife, but she always has to go to her heart.
Shao Mo's temperament, some things secretly help and don't like to talk, if it weren't for the words brought by a brother today, she wouldn't know how to protect the Zhu family.
Shao Mo also met Zhu Feng in the state capital, and learned that Zhu Feng had already come to the door, and wanted to invite someone into the house to stay for a few days.
But Zhu Feng hurried to the county seat to take office, politely declined the invitation, and hurried over after handing over the documents in the state capital.
Shao Mo returned home at nightfall, and saw that there was a sumptuous meal today, and he unconsciously glanced at his daughter-in-law, "I invited my brother to enter, he was in a hurry to go to the county seat to take office, and he hurried overnight today." ”
Looking at these dishes, Shao Mo thought that Zhu Jiu was waiting for his brother to eat.
"I know." Zhu Jiu said, let someone bring water, and cleaned his hands for his husband, "Today, I specially asked Miao Lin to make the dishes that my husband loves to eat." ”
"How can it be so unprovoked, today is so exquisite." Shao Mo was a little confused, he didn't have a New Year's holiday today, and he didn't see a big event.
Although it was my brother who came to the door, this was not a meal.
Although his daughter-in-law treats him gently and considerately on weekdays, he is specially prepared like this, which makes people mumble in their hearts!
Thinking about it, Shao Mo sat down, didn't wait for Zhu Jiu to speak, and asked tightly, "Isn't it that my mother is going to ask you to talk about adding someone in front of me again?" ”
I sent a maid away last time, and after that, I turned my head and looked around the courtyard, and saw that there were new faces in the courtyard today.
