Chapter XXXVII
Zhu Jiashi looked at Zhu Niang carefully again, and suddenly found that her daughter-in-law's eyes were completely different from before.
It was a resolute and determined look, unwilling to be swayed by others, vowing to fight with others to the end, and the stubbornness in his bones made Zhu Jiashi quickly realize that what was in front of him was not a tame sheep, but more like a female wolf who could sacrifice everything to protect her cubs.
"Mother, just say it directly, let Xiao Hao go to the palace, is it so that he can study hard and have a bright future in the future, or let him spy on the information of the palace for his family?"
Zhu Niang's straightforward questioning made Zhu Jiashi stunned.
How could Zhu Jiashi expect that his daughter-in-law would be able to figure out this layer?
Zhu Jia's voice was unusually indifferent: "This is not something that you should take care of as a woman. ”
"What does that mean, this is a responsibility that a child should carry? He is only eight years old, he shouldn't bear so many things, but his mother wants to let Xiao Hao go into the fire pit......"
Zhu Niang's attitude was resolute.
Zhu Jiashi was silent, the conspiracy was exposed, no matter how thick-skinned her old face was, she was a little embarrassed.
But there is a ...... next to me who is not afraid of big things. Zhu Wanjian was annoyed that he couldn't enter the courtyard before, but now he heard that the third brother's Jinyi Wei Baihu job would be inherited by his own children, and he instantly thought of standing up for his mother.
He jumped into the door with an arrow step, and shouted in a loud voice: "Your kid can do something for the family, that is the blessing he cultivated in his previous life...... If you don't comply, take someone home immediately, lock him up and beat him every day, beat him to the point that his body is incomplete, call his mother every day, don't blame the family for being ruthless when the time comes! ”
Zhu Wanjian was vicious and arrogant, and when he said this, Zhu Jiashi regretted it for a while...... I should have listened to my daughter-in-law just now and shut this incompetent son out of the door, instead of letting him stay at the door and jump out to make trouble at a critical time.
Zhu Wanjian's words are tantamount to admitting two things at the same time.
The first thing, Zhu Hao's entry into the palace was to spy on intelligence for the Zhu family, which is equivalent to saying that the Zhu family "has a request" from Zhu Niang, and Zhu Jia's family instantly changed from active to passive.
Second, Zhu Hao said before that even if he returned to Zhu's house, he would not have a good life, Zhu Niang originally thought that her son was a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but now she knows that her son did not lie to her, and the family will indeed not let her mother and son have a good life.
Zhu Niang's face was full of sadness, "Mother, the second uncle said that he took Xiaohao home to practice martial arts or study, but in fact, he was locked up and beaten, is this coercing his daughter-in-law?" That's not what my mother said before...... When the fourth uncle came, he said that he would tutor Xiao Hao well in his homework. ”
Or how do you say it's a pig teammate?
Zhu Jia's family made painstaking arrangements before, and specially asked his fourth son Zhu Wanquan to come to see Zhu Niang, and asked Zhu Niang to send the child home, in order to appease Zhu Niang.
Zhu Wanjian's words are tantamount to exposing his shortcomings and making the contradictions public.
"The third family, if you follow, you can discuss the matter of your son inheriting his father's position as a hundred households." Zhu Jiashi began to compromise between his words.
However, she is obviously generous to others, the military position should have been inherited by Zhu Hao when he grew up, you deprived people of it with a word, and now she is hypocritically saying that she can return it, is there such a good person?
Zhu Niang was unmoved.
Now she can see the face of the Zhu family thoroughly, a woman who is desperate, who is afraid of threats?
"Mother, you don't need to say good things to this woman, she has never regarded herself as a member of the Zhu family, I will take someone to find the guy who reported the news, and tell the palace to say that what this woman said does not count, and our Zhu family absolutely agrees that the little cub will enter the palace as a scholar......"
Zhu Wanjian's words caused Zhu Jia's eyes to roll his eyes.
Now that you want to chase someone?
Why didn't you react just now? Don't you be afraid that your son's inheritance of the third brother's military position will be ruined, and your brain will suddenly become bright, right?
At this time, Zhu Hao, who had been treated as air, walked to Zhu Niang's side, grabbed his mother's sleeve, and said timidly: "Mother, did I go to the palace to be a spy?" I don't understand...... I don't want to go...... I'm scared ......."
This is the time to test the self-cultivation of a young actor.
The Zhu family agrees with me to enter the palace?
Please, I took the exam myself, and I was selected by my ability, no matter how capable your Zhu family was, you didn't let the children you selected be shortlisted, but you wanted to take the initiative back?
As long as I don't want to go, whoever agrees is in vain.
Let me spy on the intel? I just don't go! If you don't cooperate, what can you do to me?
Defy? Bite me!
Zhu Niang hugged her son's little head and comforted: "Mother won't let you suffer." ”
"You stinky boy, you can't go away, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you......" Zhu Wanjian was anxious, and immediately rolled up his sleeves to threaten Zhu Hao, but saw Zhu Jiashi glaring at him angrily.
"Get out!"
For the second time, Zhu shouted at the same person in an almost stern tone.
Zhu Wanjian was instantly stunned on the spot.
It was Steward Liu who didn't avoid suspicion, came in and dragged Zhu Wanjian out of the door, and then turned around to cover the courtyard door.
Then Zhu Jiashi looked at Zhu Niang's mother and son coldly, and said, "The third family will follow Wei Niang into the inner room...... My mother has something to say to you. ”
Zhu Hao grabbed Zhu Niang's clothes: "Mother, I'm afraid." ”
"It's okay, my mother will protect you."
Zhu Niang naturally would not leave Zhu Hao, she had discussed it in advance, discussed things with the old lady, and Zhu Hao had to follow her mother no matter what.
……
……
Middle courtyard, hall house.
Zhu Jiashi entered the house and saw his son's spirit card on the desk in the middle, the incense was in full bloom, his face was full of emotion, and although his attitude was indifferent, he was not as domineering as before.
The tone softened.
"The third family, it's night now, even if you send someone to Xingwangfu to report the news, it is estimated that you won't be able to see the people in Xingwangfu, what difficulties did the family have before, they all told you, you don't want your son to take risks, do you just see my Zhu family destroyed? Is this what the third child wants to see in the spirit of heaven? ”
Zhu Niang was silent.
"In this way, as long as you promise to send your son to the palace as a companion, the monthly silver for the family will be reduced to twenty taels in the future...... If you can spy on useful information and turn your uncle into a safe place in Beijing, not only do you not need to pay any more money, but your family will also fill in the foil. In the future, the family will never find any trouble for your mother and son, and you will be a good word for your mother. ”
Zhu had to compromise.
Zhu Niang's attitude was resolute: "Mother, Xiaohao is still young and doesn't know how to spy on intelligence, so it's better for my mother to find someone else." ”
Zhu Jiashi slapped the table and said, "My mother is begging each other like this, do you still want to fight with my mother?" What good will the fall of the Zhu family do to you? Do you want your son to inherit the position of Jinyi Weibaihu? ”
Perhaps realizing that his tone was too heavy, Zhu Jia's words changed, "Xiao Hao entered the Xingwang Mansion, but he accompanied the little prince to read and write together, he only needs to inform the little prince's daily life and living habits, and he won't do anything...... You can't decide the affairs of the Zhu family, you have to weigh the consequences......"
Coercion and inducement.
You can disagree with your son entering the Xingwang Mansion, and I can also get him back to the Zhu family to suffer.
Zhu Hao pulled Zhu Niang's sleeve, and now her mother's reaction was a little excessive, obviously as a mother, she was completely annoyed, when the rabbit was anxious and biting, Zhu Niang was repeatedly bullied by the Zhu family, and the current matter involved her son's future and fate, and she would not easily succumb.
"Agree or not, you can give the right word."
Zhu Jiashi gave an ultimatum.
Zhu Niang gritted her teeth, she should agree when she listened to her son's words, it was better to enter the Xing Wangfu than to go back to the Zhu family to suffer the crime, but now she didn't want to do it blindly, and wanted to stand up to support her son, but she found that she was so weak and powerless.
Zhu Hao saw that Zhu Niang was shaken, and hurriedly said: "Mother, I'd better enter the Xingwang Mansion...... It's actually good to study with the little prince, mother...... I want to study and be a champion. ”
Zhu Jiashi looked at Zhu Hao's gaze with a little softness: "Look, your sons are more conscious than you, why are you always so obsessed with being a mother?" ”
"But grandmother, my mother in order to feed our family, it is too hard, every day to get up early and greedy, so there is no money left, I want to find someone to enlighten me a few times before, and now we can't even do business, twenty taels of silver a month...... I'm afraid that my mother won't be able to take it out. ”
Zhu Hao is not a good child.
Since your old lady knows that it is useless to be blindly strong, and now is a critical juncture for the two sides to pull the negotiations, you must show an open and honest attitude when you want to talk about achievements, and you can't decide everything.
"You kid, what do you know?"
Zhu Jiashi also praised his grandson's high consciousness before, but when he heard that Zhu Hao wanted to fight for the right to pay less or even no money for the family, he immediately changed his tone and regarded Zhu Hao as an ignorant child.
Zhu Niang said: "Mother, I want my daughter-in-law to agree to Xiao Hao's entry into the palace, unless you guarantee that he can inherit his father's position as a hundred households in the future......"
"You can discuss it, don't you believe your mother?"
Zhu is not the kind of person who makes promises easily.
"But isn't what he is doing now exactly what he should do as the grandson of the Zhu family? If his father knew about it, he would also support him to do things for the Zhu family, so his daughter-in-law did not dare to go against the wishes of his deceased husband, but it was not fair to just let him inherit the duties of his deceased husband and not inherit the position of his deceased husband. ”
Zhu Niang argued with reason.
At this time, even Zhu Hao was impressed by Zhu Niang.
These words were not taught by Zhu Hao to his mother, Zhu Niang is obviously no longer a weak and bullying woman now, she knows how to fight and how to fight.
"Yes."
Zhu Jiashi was silent for a long time, and his tone finally relaxed, "My mother can promise you that you can also write a note, and the next family meeting will confirm this matter." ”
"Please also ask my mother to promise that if Xiao Hao is in any danger in the palace, he will not be allowed to continue to stay in the palace, otherwise even if his daughter-in-law dies in front of you, he will not be allowed to take risks!" Zhu Niang gradually took the initiative back into her hands.
Zhu Jia's face was grim.
In the past, she couldn't believe that Zhu Niang was so bold and dared to negotiate conditions with herself one after another?
No one in the Zhu family dared to talk to her like this!
"Xiao Hao is a descendant of the Zhu family, how can the family let him be in danger in the palace? Not only will the family not harm him, but they will also help each other secretly, but ...... You can't get an inch, take chicken feathers as an arrow, whether he is dangerous in the palace or not, the family has its own judgment. ”
Zhu Jiashi paused, and then said, "What other conditions do you have, let's tell them together!" ”
Zhu Niang said: "The daughter-in-law will return twenty-two cases of silver per month, a lot of money, to the family, and ask my mother to agree, no matter whether we profit or lose in the future, we will not add more silver, and the excess money will be used to buy houses and fields, and the daughter-in-law is not for herself, everything is in the name of Xiaohao." The daughter-in-law did all this for the sake of the Zhu family, and she had no selfish thoughts. ”
