Chapter Seventy-Four: The Husband Sings and the Wife Follows
Zhu Hao couldn't find Lu Song for the time being.
It is estimated that it is impossible to see others recently.
The only way is to start with Lu Song's wife, Fan.
If Lu Song hadn't mentioned the past to Fan, then Fan wouldn't have taken his son's words seriously.
But if Lu Song once told his wife to give Jinyiwei an internal response, then as long as there is something about Jinyiwei, Fan will understand that there will be a major event that will affect the fate of the husband and wife, as long as she is not stupid, she will take the initiative to find it.
That night, after Zhu Hao simply cleaned up, he sat at the table and wrote.
Jinghong asked, "Aren't you going out to listen to books today?" ”
Zhu Hao's pen didn't stop, and said casually: "Even the two princes are studying hard during the day, shouldn't you work harder than them?" ”
During the day, Zhu San and Zhu Si also wanted to listen to the story of "Shooting the Condor", but Zhu Hao refused, Zhu Si himself didn't hear it and didn't care much, the sister and brother are now thinking about going out of the city to play, and they are all focused on studying.
"By the way, Zhu Hao, I heard my father say that King Xing has only one son...... Why are there two now? They...... Are they really brothers? ”
After Jing Hong went home a few times, he finally got the hang of it.
King Xing has a son, it is not a secret to the outside world, Lu Song had intended to call Zhu San "the prince" before, and called Zhu Si "prince", but Jing Zhongkuan could probably guess that the palace was a trick to conceal the eyes, and one of the two princes must be fake.
Zhu Hao said: "When you entered the palace, did you come to find out who is the son of the world?" Our purpose is to read, who are they important? ”
"I ...... I'm just curious. "Jinghong seems to be lacking in confidence.
Zhu Hao continued to ask, "What else did your father tell you?" ”
Jing Hong was silent, as if he didn't want to tell Zhu Hao about his family, but when he thought about begging Zhu Hao in the palace, if he even had to hide this, wouldn't he be treated coldly by Zhu Hao in the future?
"My father also said that you are the Zhu family, the Zhu family is the home of Jinyiwei, and your father is a hundred households of Jinyiwei...... Say that your motives for entering the palace are not pure. ”
Jing Hong's words made Zhu Hao laugh out loud.
Jinghong asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Zhu Hao said: "Your father is right, now the whole palace knows that my Zhu family has bad intentions against the palace, don't you think they are staring at me like thieves?" ”
"Huh!?"
Jinghong didn't expect Zhu Hao to admit it calmly.
"Don't talk about me, aren't you the same yourself? Do you think your father's purpose for letting you enter the palace is very simple? In principle, local officials can't associate with the vassal king, and your father may know that he can't do the end of his tenure as a county magistrate, so he takes advantage of the position of sitting in the county to get the king up, which is more important than being an official, which means that he will have the opportunity to be an official in the future, and no one can say that he is more noble than anyone! ”
Zhu Hao didn't let in the slightest between his words.
Jing Hong was so angry that he shouted loudly: "No, my father won't do that kind of thing to be an official!" ”
Originally, the relationship between the two was very good, but because of Zhu Hao's speculation about Jing Zhongkuan's motive for arranging for his son to enter the Xingwang Mansion as a companion, Jing Hong became angry.
Then the two didn't say a word, probably preparing for a long cold war.
In fact, this is exactly Zhu Hao's purpose...... Now it's finally quiet, and you can do your own thing with peace of mind without worrying about being disturbed again.
……
……
Early the next morning.
As soon as the day dawned, Zhu Hao got up, dressed neatly, and came to the yard to wash.
Jinghong also got up early, but because of the dispute between the two last night, he didn't pay attention to what Zhu Hao did and sat alone in front of the window in a daze.
Zhu Hao was so happy, because it would be inconvenient for Jinghong to participate in it later.
The guards on duty left one after another, and there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, some people went home to sleep directly, and some people would wait until breakfast before leaving, which varies from person to person.
At this moment, someone in the alleyway greeted him.
"Sister-in-law, where are you going?"
The guard's voice was clear.
A young woman's voice came: "Take the baby home and change your clothes, and bring some things back by the way." ”
When Zhu Hao came to the gate of the courtyard, he saw Lu Bing walking towards the west gate of the palace with a delicate-looking young woman, and deliberately slowed down when passing by the courtyard where Zhu Hao lived.
Originally, the young woman asked Lu Bing to enter the door and call Zhu Hao, but saw Zhu Hao take the initiative to greet him.
This young woman didn't need to guess to know that it was Lu Bing's mother, Fan.
"Lu Bing, is this your mother? Hello aunt, I am Lu Bing's classmate, my name is Zhu Hao...... I'll get it for you. ”
Zhu Hao said enthusiastically.
Just when Fan was stunned, Zhu Hao had already walked over and took the burden she was carrying, but Fan didn't react for a while.
If an ordinary man is so starting, there is a lot of inappropriateness, but if it is a child like Zhu Hao, no one cares.
"Auntie, we have something to say on the way out, try not to let people notice it." Zhu Hao lowered his voice and said.
Fan didn't expect Zhu Hao to be so alert, with a little uneasiness, and gestured to the guards who passed by to greet him, handed over the burden to Zhu Hao, and the three of them went to the door.
After walking for a while, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Fan asked in a low voice, "Zhu Hao, what do you mean by the words you asked Xiao Bing to say to me?" ”
Zhu Hao said: "Auntie, before I tell you, I want to confirm it, how much do you know about this?" You should know that I am the Zhu family, and my family is a Jinyi guard, and everyone in the palace thinks that I am the eyeliner of the Zhu family in the palace, so they are very protective of me...... Actually, I have a good relationship with Lu Dianzhan. ”
Zhu Hao's caution made Fan breathe a sigh of relief.
This shows that Zhu Hao is a smart person.
It's a lot more reassuring to talk to smart people about things.
Fan glanced at his son.
At this time, Lu Bing also had something in his hand, which should be a gift from the Xingwang Mansion during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but because Lu Bing was urgently sent out on business after being on duty, he didn't take the things home.
Feeling that his son couldn't understand his own words when he was young, Fan whispered to Zhu Hao: "Actually, Xiao Bing's father told me everything he had to say, he ...... I also talked about you and him. ”
Only then did Zhu Hao know how good Lu Song's relationship with his wife was.
"Xiao Bing's grandfather worked in Jinyiwei, and his son inherited his father's position, Xiao Bing's father can also be regarded as a member of Jinyiwei, and now Jinyiwei is using this as a threat, Xiao Bing's father is very embarrassed, he doesn't want the Lu family to have a negative Xingwang Mansion, and he doesn't want to expose his identity, so it is difficult to choose for a while." Fan continued.
Zhu Hao finally knew why Lu Song would help Lin Baihu do things.
Lin Baihu is blackmailing Lu Song's father Lu Qi as an undercover agent, if Lu Song does not agree to continue to do things for them, Lu Qi's identity will be exposed, and Lu Song, as an undercover son, basically does not have to mix in the palace.
Of course, the so-called "not wanting to have a negative Xing Palace" in Fan's mouth is just a pretext, and it is more for the future of the Lu family.
This is also an important reason why Lu Song told his wife what happened, for Lu Song, his identity was revealed and he was transferred to another place as a military household at most, and he could even continue to work for the imperial court.
But for the Fan family, she was originally Zhu Houxi's nursing mother, and she won the trust of Princess Xing, if the Lu family had a negative palace, it would be extremely unfair to the Fan family, and after careful consideration, the husband and wife could only discuss, first stabilize Lin Baihu's side, and use some irrelevant information to deal with official affairs without harming the interests of Xingwangfu.
Zhu Hao said: "Auntie, in fact, I'm also afraid of revealing secrets...... I told you in this way, the time is in a hurry and it is inconvenient to talk in detail, in short, you have to find a way to inform Lu Dianzhan in time, so that he should not go to meet with Lin Baihu recently, because the palace transferred them away this time, just to know that there are people in the palace who are doing things for Jinyiwei, but now they can't be sure who that person is. ”
"What?"
Fan was taken aback.
She didn't expect her husband's identity to be exposed so quickly, and she didn't expect that it was Zhu Hao who came to warn.
Originally, it was not far from the West Gate from the West Courtyard, and the gate was close in front of him, Zhu Hao saw that Fan's face had changed greatly, and hurriedly reminded: "That's all I have to say, aunt don't show surprise, if it weren't for the urgency of the matter, I wouldn't have taken the risk of letting Lu Bing tell you, in short, the Xingwang Mansion also has an internal response on the side of Jinyiwei...... Probably so. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Hao suddenly returned to the child's innocent side, smiled and said loudly: "Lu Bing, I will send you and your mother here, the burden is so heavy...... Go back with your mother, and see you in class later. ”
……
……
When Fan left the palace with a little trepidation, Zhu Hao understood how anxious the couple was.
The husband and wife could have lived a stable life in the palace, but they were coerced by the Jinyi guard, if the matter spreads, they can only find a place to live, will the palace deal with the two of them, but you are the enemy of the Xingwang Mansion when you are an eyeliner for the imperial court.
The convenient conditions created before to make the Lu family prosperous will all be in vain.
In the morning, we arrived at the school house.
Jing Hong still didn't plan to forgive Zhu Hao, so he buried himself in reading.
Zhu San and Zhu Si arrived, and as soon as they entered the house, they looked around.
"Ah Bing's stinky boy doesn't know where he went, obviously he was still in the palace last night."
Zhu San was very angry at Lu Bing's absence.
She has a strong desire to control, everyone and everything must follow her wishes, as if Lu Bing is just her little follower and can't have her own affairs.
Zhu Hao said: "I saw him in the morning and went out of the palace with his mother." ”
"Is it Fan Niang?"
Zhu Si's eyes lit up.
Obviously, he has a very good relationship with Fan, and that is his nurse, which is equivalent to half of his mother.
Zhu Hao nodded.
At this moment, Yuan Zonggao led people into the house.
"Mr. Yuan."
Several children got up and saluted Yuan Zonggao, respectfully.
Yuan Zonggao smiled and nodded: "Don't be formal, the Sui Jiaoxi is not in the palace these days, and your homework is temporarily taken over by the old man, if you have something that you don't know, just ask." ”
Yuan Zonggao, as the head of the palace, has so many things in the palace, and he actually came to teach the children?
Zhu San said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan, don't worry, we won't ask Zhu Hao, we will definitely pass this exam, and we can go out of the city to play then...... Mr. Yuan is optimistic, and the custody will surprise you at that time. ”
"Oh, hehe, it seems that you recognize Zhu Hao's knowledge."
Yuan Zonggao, the old fox, smiled with a deep meaning, "But your schoolwork always needs to be supervised, so let's do it, if you really don't ask, the old man will go, and there will be a new Mr. to perform his duties when he returns, he is a student, and his knowledge is good, he will come later, you can call him Mr. Gongsun......"
Only then did a few small people know that Sui Gongyan was completely abandoned by the palace.
couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, so the palace found a temporary gentleman, and a Xiucai surnamed Gongsun came back to work.
