Zhu Hao returned to Huguang on July 22.

On this day, he learned that King Ning had been defeated, and received news from the people sent by Lu Song that he had successfully rescued Lou Suzhen, the general of Pohu.

After Lou Suzhen jumped into the lake, the officers and soldiers should organize a salvage.

But the problem is that Lou Suzhen is wearing shackles on her hands, and ordinary people can't even swim in this situation, let alone escape? Even if the officers and soldiers wanted to find it, they couldn't see anything in the dark light, and Lou Suzhen insisted on seeking death and would not struggle, which made it more difficult to find people.

Who would have thought that there were people lurking under the water and being able to rescue them?

There were tens of thousands of people drowned in Poyang Lake that day, and the corpses were allowed to float on the surface of the water, and it was still difficult to find Lou Suzhen in the lake in this situation.

So the officers and men on board shouted and ignored it.

In fact, Lou Suzhen was also found by the water ghost who rushed to hear the sound after jumping into the lake for a while, and after filling her with oxygen from the oxygen tank, she left the range of the official ship under the water at night.

……

……

When Zhu Hao returned to Wuchang Mansion, it was July 27.

Su Xigui had arrived two days ahead of schedule.

Su Xigui heard that King Ning's attack on Anqing failed, so he dared to leave to come to Wuchang Mansion, and halfway through the road, he heard that King Ning's soldiers and horses were completely overturned, and finally completely relieved.

On the morning of July 28, the two met in the courtyard of Zhu Hao's residence, which was arranged by Su Xigui.

"Master Zhu, I heard that you have been studying behind closed doors recently, and I wanted to give you a few ancient books, but I didn't even touch the door."

Su Xigui heard that Zhu Hao had arrived at Wuchang Mansion early, and he wanted to know what Zhu Hao would do besides preparing for the exam.

can send someone to inquire, but he can't get any news from Zhu Hao.

It's rare to meet, so it's natural to have a try.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Recently, I always want to study some good things, but I don't know the essentials, and this year I have been manufacturing and selling cloth, which is the kind of cotton cloth I mentioned to Su Dongzhu before...... Have you ever seen it? ”

Su Xigui looked incredulous: "With Zhu Xiao as the master, he is just weaving cloth?" Fear...... It's not that simple, is it? ”

Zhu Hao spread his hands.

If you want to know what I've done and investigate it yourself, or you want a treasure that doesn't exist in this world, something that can make you a lot of money, and you suspect that I'm selling it behind your back, then you have to find out what rare things are trending in the market first...... Didn't you say an egg?

"That talented Mr. Tang didn't come to Wuchang, it's really a pity, King Ning didn't know whether to live or die and rebelled, and finally ended up with no bones, sad and lamentable...... Mr. Tang didn't have to hide anymore. Su Xigui said.

Zhu Hao asked puzzledly, "Is King Ning dead?" ”

Su Xigui smiled awkwardly: "What is the difference between dying and not dying?" However, I heard that it was said that he killed himself after the defeat. ”

Because King Ning's rebellion had just been quelled, even Su Xigui, who had always been well-informed, didn't know Zhu Chenhao's exact information, and he listened to all kinds of gossip.

"I just heard a very regrettable thing before I came, that Fanghua peerless Concubine Lou Niangniang, on the way back to Nanchang, jumped into the lake and committed suicide, with the Ming Festival, she is really a heroine."

Zhu Hao was a little surprised, Su Xigui actually knew about Lou Suzhen jumping into the lake?

This can only be explained by the fact that when Wang Shouren found that Lou Suzhen's body could not be found, in order to prevent being held accountable by the imperial court, and to prevent someone from using Princess Ning to attack the Lou family who was kind to him, he simply made the news public and informed the world that Lou Suzhen was dead, which not only fulfilled Lou Suzhen's reputation, but also made this person who was close to King Ning disappear from the world and reduced the guilt of the Lou family.

Whether it is Jiang Bin, the emperor, or someone who has any thoughts about Lou Suzhen, such as the powerful Jianchang Marquis and others in the court, they can also completely cut off the idea of getting Lou Suzhen.

Zhu Hao pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Concubine Lou...... Who's that? Princess Ning? ”

Su Xigui said in surprise: "The little master doesn't know Concubine Lou? She is a well-known talented woman in Jiangxi, born in a family of science, her appearance is as beautiful as a flower, not to mention, poetry and song are proficient in everything, especially good at calligraphy and painting, heard and ...... Hehe, she is Mr. Tang's female disciple...... Maybe Mr. Tang didn't want to reminisce about the past, so he didn't mention it in front of you. ”

Zhu Hao nodded: "That is the case, it is indeed a pity, but after all, she is an anti-princess, she should have expected that there would be a current result." ”

Su Xigui came over again and said: "I came from Jingshi, and I heard that when Your Majesty drove the expedition in person, there were people such as Jiang Bin among the close ministers, but I proposed a reward to offer this woman to Your Majesty...... Concubine Lou's death may be related to the deliberate connivance of the governor of Gannan and his desire to make him suffer...... One death can be a full name, this is considered a fulfillment. ”

Even Su Xigui felt that Lou Suzhen's death had some "fulfillment" implications, as if everyone knew the relationship between Wang Shouren and the Lou family, and when he knew that Lou Suzhen did not end well in the hands of the court, Lou Suzhen's death can be said to be the best explanation for the court and the world.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, Wang Shouren put down the rebellion of King Ning in the Zhengde Dynasty, and he made outstanding achievements, but he was not reused, and he had to wait until Jiajing ascended the throne to become an official, the reason was that in addition to Zhu Houzhao's hatred of Wang Shouren for robbing him of the merits of the imperial expedition and quelling the rebellion of King Ning, there was also the death of Lou Suzhen, which made the emperor and Jiang Bin feel that Wang Shouren deliberately "made it bad".

"Gossip Mo Ti, if there is anything in the little master Zhu recently, just tell me, I will stay in Wuchang Mansion in the next half month, and then I will leave for Nanjing, deal with some things, I can't wait for the little master to be nominated for your laurels...... Alas, if you can stay a few more days, you will be able to get a good report in the field, but it's a pity ......"

Su Xigui looked very regretful, his face was stunned, Zhu Hao smiled and was relieved: "If I am really lucky enough to go to high school, even if Su Dongzhu is thousands of miles away, I will send someone to tell me the good news, and I will have to ask for a good fortune on your side at that time." ”

Su Xigui slapped his thigh: "Is the despicable person the stingy one?" When the time comes, you will definitely give a generous gift! ”

……

……

On the second day of the first month of August, Lu Song and Yu Sanyi arrived at Wuchang Mansion by boat, and Lou Suzhen, who changed into plain clothes, wore coarse cloth and no rouge powder.

Zhu Hao met him at the pier outside the city.

I haven't seen her for a few years, and Zhu Hao can tell at a glance that this is the woman who sent Tang Yin to be entangled outside Nanchang City, but she is a lot haggard, with a slight flush on her pale face, and she has a feeling of sickness and no energy.

The boat docked, and when the group got off the boat, Zhu Hao asked about the situation on the water ghost's side.

Lu Song approached and briefly introduced the situation, indicating that everyone was arranged to return to their hometowns, and repeatedly told them to keep their mouths shut, otherwise it would lead to a catastrophe. As for the commission, all the commissions were settled, but the money that Zhu Hao handed over to him in advance.

"This lady choked on the water in the lake, and had some cold, and she was sick for the past few days after coming ashore, or she also had heart disease in it......"

Lu Song glanced back at Lou Suzhen.

Zhu Hao nodded, stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Under Zhu Hao, he is a disciple accepted by Mr. Tang, and when Zhengde and Mr. left Nanchang City in the tenth year, he had the honor to meet his wife. ”

Lou Suzhen set her eyes on Zhu Hao, although her spirit was not high, she still looked at it seriously, but unfortunately she didn't remember that she had seen Zhu Hao at all, maybe it was too long, or she had never put a child at ease back then, she had already forgotten it all at this time, and shook her head again and again.

"Where's the Lingshi?"

After a while, Lou Suzhen asked in a weak voice.

Zhu Hao replied: "Mr. stayed in Anlu, and I went to Wuchang to participate in the big competition...... You should know who this Lu Dianzhan is, in fact, we have worked hard all the way this time, and Mr. secretly arranged everything. ”

Lu Song looked at Zhu Hao with strange eyes.

Do you dare to say that Tang Yin arranged everything? He doesn't seem to know about it! But you and Xiaoxingwang are secretly planning, you two children are really bold, and this can be successful?

"At present, it is rumored that Concubine Lou has thrown water into Pohu Lake, and Wang Zhongcheng with the soldiers will be buried on behalf of him, this matter has become a foregone conclusion, as for Lu Yin, etc., I will let people do it for Mrs., but Mrs. will temporarily want to be my accompanying maid, borrow the identity of Wuchang City, and wait for me to return to Anlu together." Zhu Hao said.

Lu Song said: "If it is inconvenient for Young Master Zhu, you can take your wife back by yourself." ”

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Brother Lu, now that the ground in Huguang is not very peaceful, there are officers and soldiers in Wuchang Mansion and surrounding prefectures and counties who have set up cards to search for the rout, so it is better to hide in Wuchang Mansion at this time...... There is no need to enter the city, there are merchants everywhere in the ferry outside the city, so you can find a place to stay...... It's not too late to wait for the wind to calm down a bit. ”

Lu Song thought about it and nodded in agreement with Zhu Hao's instructions.

After all, Zhu Si said first, when he traveled, everything was subject to Zhu Hao's arrangement, and he also came to Wuchang on the grounds of accompanying Zhu Hao to participate in the imperial examination, so he couldn't go back first before Zhu Hao finished the exam...... So how do you explain the significance of this trip to your colleagues in the palace?

Lou Suzhen looked at the two people in front of her curiously, one was a royal battle, famous for his meritorious work, and the other was a child...... But it's all up to this kid.

"You...... Is it really Mr. Tang's disciple? ”

Lou Suzhen couldn't believe it.

I didn't hear that Tang Yin had accepted such a disciple, and he was still so young.

Lu Song said: "If it's fake...... Young Master Zhu is studying in the palace, and now he is a student master, with his talent, there is a great chance of high school in the township examination. ”

Lou Suzhen couldn't help frowning when she heard this.

I've heard of how conceited talented people are, but I've never seen such a boastful person, even with Tang Yin's great talent, it will take nearly thirty years to pass the exam, a child can say that he has knowledge, but why dare to say that the township examination is not only about knowledge and knowledge, but also about luck, will let a young man pass at will?

The people of your Xingwang Mansion are so confident in him?

"Madame, don't say much, because Madame often appears in Nanchang, many people know it, so I try not to go out recently, and I will send someone to hire a maid for Madame, and then find a female doctor to diagnose Madame's pulse, and in addition, the security matter will be entrusted to Lu Dian."

Zhu Hao glanced at Lu Song meaningfully.

As if to say.

It's cheap for you, although Lou Suzhen is not young, but such a graceful noble lady is good or bad for you to take care of, right?
