Zhu Mingshan is about to celebrate his 60th birthday.

In the environment of the Zhu family's loss of power, this is not a big deal, but for Zhu Niang, it is a very anxious thing, after all, she has just separated from the Zhu family, and her attitude will determine Zhu Hao's status in the family at this time, even if she doesn't want to contact the Zhu family, but for the sake of the world, she has to prepare.

"Xiao Hao, you stayed in the palace that day, I will tell your grandfather and grandmother that you have been busy with homework recently and can't go out in person, please forgive me."

In the past, Zhu Niang avoided returning to Zhu's house as much as possible, so as not to be taken hostage.

This time she was unavoidable.

Zhu Hao comforted: "Mother, even if it is a Hongmen banquet, you can come out smoothly." ”

Aunt Li asked, "What is the Hongmen Banquet?" ”

Zhu Hao briefly introduced the story of the Chu and Han rivalries in history, Liu Bang went to Xiang Yu's invitation, and finally successfully escaped from Xiang Ying, and then said: "Taking history as a mirror, even if it is a very dangerous banquet, as long as you are careful, you can still escape smoothly." I will talk to the palace and see if I can ask for leave to go with you the day after tomorrow. ”

"You're going too?"

Zhu Niang didn't understand.

Zhu Hao said: "Even if I go, I won't go alone, but ask the palace to send someone to go with me...... Niang always thinks that the Zhu family dares to embarrass the people of the palace, right? ”

Zhu Niang couldn't help but think of the time when Lu Song accompanied Zhu Hao home and drove Zhu Wanjian and Steward Liu away, it is true that as long as the people from Xingwangfu are there, the people of the Zhu family will not dare to make a mistake.

"Don't be reluctant, how can people Xingwangfu take care of our family affairs?" Zhu Niang didn't think it was a good thing to disturb the Xingwang Mansion on the grounds of worshipping Shou.

……

……

Zhu Hao returned to the palace and went directly to Lu Song to discuss.

Lu Song said: "Zhu Laoqian's 60th birthday is indeed a big event, it's better to do this, I'll go and talk to Zhang Fengzheng, and then Zhang Fengzheng will ask for it...... Didn't you mention it to your husband? ”

What he meant was that you could ask Tang Yin for advice on countermeasures for this kind of thing.

Zhu Hao smiled: "Recently, Mr. Lu has been busy preparing for class, and I don't want to disturb him too much. ”

In fact, he was preparing to deal with Yuan Zonggao.

"Hmm."

Lu Song immediately went to report, and in the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Zuo and Lu Song came to see Zhu Hao, and brought Zhu Youqi by the way.

Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "The Zhu family has been in Anlu for many years, and they are not outsiders to the palace...... Let Lu Dianzhan accompany you tomorrow, and bring the guards of the palace to help you support the scene. ”

Obviously, this kind of thing is not Zhang Zuo's decision, since King Xing made a decision to send someone to accompany Zhu Hao back to Zhu's house, Zhu Hao has a bottom in his heart.

No matter how presumptuous the Zhu family is, they can't embarrass the orphans and widows of the family in front of the people in the palace, right?

Zhang Zuo conveyed the meaning and left.

And Lu Song became the specific executor.

Lu Song was obviously a little stunned, he was afraid that he would be blackmailed by Zhu Wanhong, who went to celebrate his birthday with him.

"Lu Dianzhan, as far as I know, my uncle has not appeared in public until now, and the Zhu family doesn't know that he has returned to Anlu...... Since he is hiding, it is unknown if he will not go back tomorrow to pay homage. ”

Zhu Hao is a little confident in this.

If Zhu Wanhong is really a dutiful son, he will not have a home after returning to Anlu, and he will hide it tightly after coming back this time, and the family will not know where he is...... He hasn't shown up yet, which means he doesn't want to go back.

"I hope so."

Lu Song's doubts were not dispelled by Zhu Hao's comfort.

……

……

The next afternoon.

Zhu Hao left the class early.

Lu Song was already waiting outside.

Tang Yin sent Zhu Hao out of the school and reminded: "If you are in trouble, I will help you tell King Xing and let King Xing send someone to take you back." ”

Zhu Hao smiled and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no." ”

Tang Yin didn't say much, and he didn't plan to give Zhu Mingshan any gifts, he didn't know each other, the Zhu family is still a family of Jinyi Wei, and it is taboo to make friends with factory guards in Shilin, Tang Yin doesn't need to be difficult for himself.

Zhu Hao and Lu Song went out of the west gate of the palace, and the guards had prepared the carriage, three before and after.

The two carriages in front sat people, and the carriage in the back pulled the birthday gifts given by the palace.

The two boxes look very large, but judging from the fact that the guards are not very difficult to carry them, it is not gold and silver and other things, indicating that the palace is just a good face, and it is more of a form of courtesy.

The carriage went home first, and Zhu Hao came in and asked Aunt Li to know that his mother left just after the morning.

"Young Master Hao, it's really not good...... You better not go. "Aunt Li is very worried.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "The palace Lu Dianzhan is waiting outside, he will be with me to send a congratulatory gift to my grandfather on behalf of King Xing, it will be fine." ”

Having said that, Zhu Hao still had doubts.

The Zhu family can't use common sense to speculate, sometimes it's like a scholarly family, who will reason with you, and sometimes it's like a vulgar martial arts family, acting unscrupulously, and paying attention to the winner as the king.

The ghost knows what the old lady will do today.

Judging from the attitude that the old lady has always ignored the third room before, it is likely that she is holding back her big move, and she is waiting for the old man to settle the account together on his birthday.

……

……

A group of nine people went out of the city.

In addition to Zhu Hao and Lu Song, there were three coachmen and four guards who were responsible for carrying the boxes.

The palace will definitely not send too many security personnel to give gifts to the Zhu family, and finding a few people to accompany Zhu Hao is already very face-saving.

When I arrived at the place, I saw a long queue of carriages in front of Zhujia Zhuangzi, and there were many wealthy families and gentry in the city who came to congratulate them on their birthdays, but they didn't see the official car, and they didn't know whether they didn't come or just sent someone to congratulate them briefly and then left.

"...... you?"

When Menzi saw three carriages with wide axles coming, he naturally stepped forward to inquire.

Zhu Hao jumped down from the carriage, and the door took a closer look, but he didn't know it.

Lu Song stepped forward and said: "Xingwang Mansion, accompany the third room of the Zhu family, Young Master Zhu to send off the birthday, and go in to say goodbye." ”

As soon as Menzi heard that it was not small, he hurriedly entered and passed it on.

Not long after, Zhu Wanjian came out with Steward Liu.

Now Zhu Mingshan is bedridden, and the old lady is in charge, but the nominal principal is Zhu Wanjian, and he is also responsible for welcoming guests on this birthday.

"Who should I be, little Haozi...... How dare you come? I brought the palace guards again, you kid is really capable, every time you travel, let the people of the palace accompany you, and those who don't know think you are the prince of the palace. ”

As soon as Zhu Wanjian came up, he was yin and yang, and he did not shy away from the fact that the palace guards were next to him.

Steward Liu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "A few distinguished guests, please come inside." ”

Lu Song was going to pay his respects, but when he saw the other party's posture, he was exempted.

Too lazy to take care of Zhu Wanjian, Lu Song took Zhu Hao's arm and led four guards to carry the box into the gate of Zhuangzi, leaving only three coachmen waiting outside.

The Zhu family's mansion is very lively.

The flowing water seat began in the morning, not only the local gentry and the Zhu family side branch came to congratulate the birthday, but the tenants and neighbors also came, but their seats were arranged in the outer lanes and front yards, and did not enter the inner courtyard.

If you just come to eat and drink, the seats in Zhuangzi Lane are enough.

Many children from tenant families come to the banquet with adults early in the morning, after all, this kind of opportunity to eat white food is once in a while, is there another time to say.

Zhu Hao entered the front yard and saw Zhu Niang sitting on a seat near the inner door.

Although the Zhu family did not imprison Zhu Niang, they did not give a good face, even if Zhu Niang prepared a generous gift when she came, and also represented the third room of the Zhu family, she was not even allowed to enter the inner courtyard, which shows how mean this family is to the people in the third room.

"Mother!"

Zhu Hao greeted Zhu Niang from afar.

The people who shared the table with Zhu Niang were all the stewards of the Zhu Mansion, the shopkeepers in the city and the wives and daughters of the village, or the wives and daughters in the surrounding area, and they were all characters with a bit of face.

Zhu Niang sat there, didn't move the chopsticks in front of her, and just waited for the banquet to end and left, so as not to be humiliated.

The aunt next to her was still chattering with her, Zhu Niang was a little impatient, and suddenly heard her son's voice, she was startled at first, raised her head, and saw that her son arrived accompanied by Lu Song and the palace guards, so she was a little relieved.

"Xiao Hao......"

Zhu Niang got up to greet her.

The aunt next to her eyes lit up: "I said Zhu Niang, you have a good son, you are smart and clever at first glance, and you will definitely have a future in the future...... My eighth aunt is very accurate in seeing people. ”

Lu Song stepped forward and saluted: "Mrs. Zhu." ”

In the eyes of a group of guards in the palace, as Zhu Hao's mother, Zhu Niang really deserves the honorific title of "Mrs.", but the grandmothers and aunts next to her are snickering.

The Zhu family is a place where seniority is discussed, and a woman who can't even enter the inner courtyard is a woman, what kind of lady is it?

Zhu Hao glared at Zhu Wanjian next to him: "Second uncle, what does this mean?" My mother brought such a valuable gift to celebrate her birthday, and you let her sit outside? Doesn't this treat us as a family? ”

The voice was loud and could be heard clearly by everyone around.

Many people didn't care about the feast, so they gathered around to watch the excitement.

Zhu Wanjian had drunk a lot of wine all day, and his head was a little dizzy, and he was surprised to hear this.

How dare this kid argue with me?

Who gave you courage?

"Hey, you kid......"

Zhu Wanjian almost exercised the power of his elders and taught this fatherless nephew a lesson in public.

Steward Liu hurriedly grabbed Zhu Wanjian, who was about to lose control.

Steward Liu's head is very good, and he can see that Zhu Hao deliberately denounced loudly, indicating that the Zhu family does not follow the rules and takes the initiative in public opinion, and also forces Zhu Wanjian to his original form to achieve the purpose of ruining the reputation of the Zhu family...... It's a big problem.

"Young Master Zhu, please forgive me, all this is arranged by the old lady; Besides, even if you and the third lady are in our own family, no matter what, you have already separated the family, and the separation has its own rules. If you have any grievances, just mention them to the old lady. ”

Steward Liu's words can be regarded as winning back a city in front of public opinion.

Then he was very afraid that these neighbors and tenants outside who did not know the truth and were easy to be instigated by others would be driven by Zhu Hao, so he hurriedly made a gesture of please: "Please Lu Dian, please come in to celebrate his birthday." ”

"My mother is going with me too!"

Zhu Hao argued on the basis of reason.

Steward Liu said, "Third lady, please." ”
