Chapter Seventy-Eight: When the True Is False, the False Is True
There were no waves that day.
Because Jin Yiwei knew that the secret agent information he had planted in the palace had been leaked, he no longer rashly issued the task, Zhu Hao's goal was achieved, and he would no longer have to face the eyes of the palace in the future, and the days would slowly return to calm.
In the afternoon, as always, he returned to the palace early, but unlike before, Jinghong also returned on the same day.
"Why didn't you come back so early when you didn't stay at home for one more night?" Zhu Hao looked at Jing Hong.
Jing Hong's words flickered, and he did not answer positively.
Zhu Hao probably felt that this kid was addicted to reading big books, or wanted to come back a day earlier and try to go out to listen to books, but I was afraid that it was not as interesting as it was in the palace at home.
Just as the two were about to go to dinner, Lu Song arrived first, followed by Yuan Zonggao.
"Come and see how you're staying...... Are you still used to it in the palace recently? ”
Yuan Zonggao had an old fox-like smile on his face.
Zhu Hao knew very well that Yuan Zonggao suddenly came to the West Courtyard to find himself, but he still pretended to be innocent and went out with Jing Hong to greet him.
Yuan Zonggao didn't enter the house, but just looked through the window in the courtyard, and then beckoned to Zhu Hao: "Zhu Hao, come out, the old man wants to ask about your schoolwork." ”
Jing Hong couldn't help but look at Zhu Hao with a little envy.
People are very knowledgeable, and the chief of the palace, Shi Lai, just talked to Zhu Hao and didn't even look at him, people are more popular than people!
Then Yuan Zonggao took Zhu Hao out of the yard, found a secluded corner and asked, "Is my mother okay at home?" ”
Zhu Hao thought to himself, you still directly ask me who I met and what I said, don't fool me as a seven-year-old child, okay?
"Mother is fine, my aunt and sister are also fine, but business is a little cold, but it has been much better than before recently......" Zhu Hao is just coping, what you ask me, I will answer.
Isn't it just fooling each other?
As if no one would.
Yuan Zonggao nodded and said, "Then Zhu Hao, you usually go back, the Zhu family...... Will it look for you? ”
Zhu Hao said: "Yes, usually my grandmother will come to the house early in the morning and ask me about my situation in the palace, involving daily study and daily life, but this morning the second uncle came to see me." ”
"And what did you tell him this time?"
Yuan Zonggao went around and around, and finally asked the topic.
Zhu Hao did not hesitate at all: "I told him, Mr. Sui is gone, and a new Mr. is Mr. Gongsun, and I usually live with Jinghong......"
"Oh."
Yuan Zonggao nodded again, "Then did you tell him about your usual night out of the palace?" ”
Zhu Hao finally understood that Yuan Zonggao was so cautious, and the reason why he came to inquire in person was probably because he heard that Zhu Hao usually went out of the palace, although he knew that he was going to listen to books, but who knew if he was secretly contacting someone?
Especially when Zhu Hao went home this time, he didn't contact the palace as he expected, Yuan Zonggao felt that Zhu Hao had already seen it when he went out to listen to the book before, so the palace was empty?
Zhu Hao's face turned red, and he lowered his head with some shame.
"Yuan Changshi, don't hide it, in fact, the storytelling stall outside was set up by me and a person named Yu San, he was a worker hired by my mother, I took the book that Mr. Lu gave me, and asked him to open a storytelling stall outside, wanting to make some money to share the financial pressure of the family."
In order to win the trust of others, we must show an honest attitude, and the highest level of deception is to tell the truth to all people.
Zhu Hao had already tried to pull Lu Song into the gang before, he clearly knew that it was easy to hide this matter from his family, but it was difficult to hide it from the palace, how many people did he have and eyeliner? Want to find out some information in the small Anlu area, do you think you have the ability to hide it?
Yuan Zonggao asked curiously, "The story you told the prince before was from that Mr. Lu?" ”
"Yes, otherwise, with my knowledge, where would I have heard such a story? Mr. Lu is really a good person, although he has not spent much time with me, he not only taught me knowledge, taught me the principles of life, but also told me stories. ”
Combining lies with truth, you will never think that this story is what I heard in my own previous life, believe that I am a time-traveler, right?
I'm just looking for a way that you can accept, and turn the lie into the truth.
Yuan Zonggao glanced at Lu Song, who was standing at the door, and his slightly teasing eyes clearly told Zhu Hao that Lu Song had told Zhu Hao that in order to win the trust of the palace, Lu Song had told Zhu Hao about attracting him to join the bookstall together.
Zhu Hao thought to himself: "Lao Lu, Lao Lu, you are hot for your wife and children, but you are very hard, you are not afraid that Yuan Zonggao will suspect why I will pull you into the gang?" ”
Yuan Zonggao said: "It's really rare to have a business mind at a young age...... However, I am afraid that this will delay your studies, so you should try not to worry about the bookstall business as much as possible...... It's better to be like this, the old man asked Lu Dianzhan to help you take care of it usually, after all, it is close to the palace, if you want to go out again, talk to Lu Dianzhan in advance, and let him come with you. ”
How else to say that Yuan Zonggao is an old fox?
Zhu Hao thought to himself, Yuan Zonggao's hand was to kill two birds with one stone, not only to appease him, but also to let Lu Song stare at it every time, if he wanted to go to the bookstore to meet with someone in the future, the palace would be able to find out and cut off the communication channel between your kid and the outside world.
But the question is......
I go home every ten days, you can't completely cut off my connection with Jinyiwei, right?
"Thank you Yuan Changshi for your understanding, the students will study seriously in the future."
Zhu Hao nodded solemnly like a good child who was dedicated to learning.
Yuan Zonggao said with a smile: "Zhu Hao, you are quick to think, you will become a great tool in the future, you must cherish this rare learning opportunity now, and if you have anything, you must tell the old man...... It's not early, you go to dinner first, and the old man will go back first. ”
After speaking, he didn't ask Zhu Hao if he had ever seen anything inside the palace, so he left.
This fully shows that Yuan Zonggao's trust in him still has great reservations, this old fox still wants to put a long line to catch big fish, if he asks himself about this matter, and is told by the Zhu family, doesn't it mean that Jinyiwei and the Zhu family know that the palace has taken precautions?
But if you don't say it, don't I know?
Now it's Lu Song who has sold you, but it's not me.
……
……
Lu Song was ordered by Yuan Zonggao to "monitor" Zhu Hao.
When Zhu Hao and Jing Hong were having dinner, Lu Song sat at the same table, with a saber on the table, and the whole person looked murderous.
Zhu Hao frowned and asked, "Lu Dianzhan, I'm going out of the palace tonight to listen to books, no problem, right?" ”
Originally, Jing Hong was going to sit at the next table with his rice bowl, but when he heard Zhu Hao's words, he put the bowl down again, and his face was full of excitement...... Isn't it just to go out and listen to books when you go back to the palace a day early? Before he made a request to Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao sent an invitation?
Oh no, Zhu Hao is inviting Lu Song!
This is a dangerous person, Xiao Haozi, no matter how enthusiastic you are, we can't be stupid!
Lu Song frowned and said, "You didn't come back today, you live at home and want to listen to books, can anyone stop you?" ”
Zhu Hao said with a smile: "I live at home, my mother is strict, and it is even more inconvenient to go out, so I will go back to the palace." But Yuan Changshi said that if you go out of the palace in the future, you will have to accompany you. ”
Lu Song was silent for a while.
At this time, Jing Hong muttered in his heart.
Could it be that even Yuan Changshi knew about running away from the night with Zhu Hao? Is the secret I thought to be a secret long gone? If this news reaches my father's ears, will I dare to go home in the future?
"Since Yuan Changshi does not object to Lu Dianzhan accompanying me to the bookstore, then Lu Dianzhan is asked not to refuse the matter of Lu Dianzhan becoming a shareholder in the bookstore...... You don't have to spend money, as long as you borrow your name, no one dares to make trouble in the bookstore...... I share 20% of your income every month, what do you think? ”
Yu San gave 30%, Lu Song gave 20%, and Zhu Hao himself accounted for 50% or was the major shareholder.
Lu Song obviously doesn't take investing in the bookstore seriously, a military household like him who has never done business has no idea how much money can be made by running a bookstall, he subconsciously thinks that only the iron rice bowl of the palace is the most important, and the rest are floating clouds.
"Let's talk about this matter later, you must take me with you when you go out at night, if you leave the palace without permission, you are likely to be driven away, and you will completely lose the opportunity to study!"
Lu Song finally said almost threateningly.
When Lu Song got up to leave, Zhu Hao felt helpless in his heart......
In the past few days, I'm afraid that the palace has investigated his background thoroughly!
The palace knew that he had no way out, and felt that if he could hold it to the death, Yuan Zonggao would have the courage to let him, the eyeliner of the brocade guard, stay in the palace, and he could easily contact Zhu San and Zhu Si, and he was not afraid of encountering backlash!
Zhu Hao thought to himself: "Lao Lu, you still don't understand who has the same heart as you...... Wang fu? Jin Yiwei? It's just me! Still going against me? If I hadn't reminded you this time, I'm afraid you wouldn't even know how you died! ”
……
……
In the evening, Zhu Hao took Jinghong and went out of the palace to listen to books together accompanied by Lu Song.
When he arrived at the bookstore, Yu San came over nervously and whispered: "Brother Hao, you have to be careful, the third lady heard that there is a bookstore here in the past two days, and it will be very lively at night...... Not easy to explain! ”
Lu Song frowned.
Is this some kind of contact code?
Who is the Third Lady?
Zhu Hao nodded, and asked Yu San to take care of the bookstore, and then turned around and explained to Lu Song: "What he means is that my mother also knows that there is a bookstore here, and she may come to listen to books, for fear that my mother will arrest me." ”
Lu Song didn't take it too seriously when he heard this, while Jing Hong on the side became nervous.
Yu San reminded Zhu Hao, isn't that exactly what he should be worried about?
There are so many people in the county office, and there are not a few people who know him, the son of the county, how could the county government not come to listen to the book? If they encounter ......
"Kyoko-chan, relax."
Zhu Hao seemed to be able to read Jing Hong's thoughts, and comforted him, "I'm going to let Yu San open a few private rooms, so that our identities can be avoided from being revealed." ”
Lu Song asked with a straight face: "How can you open a private room in such a humble venue?" ”
Zhu Hao said: "I'm talking about whether it's okay to build two rows of attics on both sides of the desk?" The private room is located in the attic of two people, diagonally facing the storyteller, so that it does not affect the ticket sales below, and people can also sit in the private room and listen to the book condescendingly, which has a unique flavor.
"When powerful and wealthy people come to listen to books, they want to be pure and elegant, so they can avoid contact with the small people in the market, and they will rush to it. I can make money and provide convenience for myself by arranging it this way, so why not? I am in charge of my business, if Lu Dianzhan is interested in this, just join in. ”
