The Zhu family was outside the private courtyard rented by Jingshi, and it soon became lively.

After the list is released, as long as you have read the list article, you will know that Zhu Hao was born in the Zhu family of Anlu Jinyiwei.

Usually the Jinyiwei family is basically from the Beijing Division, and the status of the Zhu family is extremely special, a little inquiry knows that now the Zhu family has moved back to the capital, and the people who want to climb the relationship in the Jinyiwei come to congratulate.

Zhu Wanquan's mood is very complicated.

While being happy for Zhu Hao, he was worried.

I could only hurry in and go to the old lady to report this "good news".

Just entered the courtyard and didn't walk a few steps, Zhu Wanjian came out of it with his worried eyes, his face was very ugly: "What are you yelling outside?" Don't let people sleep quietly? ”

Before Zhu Wanquan could say anything, the servant on the side had already said: "Second master, great joy, our young master will try to win Huiyuan, which is the first place." ”

"Bastard thing, do you need to tell me that Huiyuan is the first place in the exam? When I'm stupid and crazy? Wait a minute...... What do you say? Who will be in the Yuan? ”

Zhu Wanjian glared at the servant and asked.

The servant suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right, and he didn't dare to pick it up.

Zhu Wanquan said: "The nephew of the third brother's family, Zhu Hao, he won Huiyuan. ”

Zhu Wanjian laughed: "Fourth, did you hear this with your own ears?" Didn't you have hysteria? ”

"I ...... I haven't heard of ...... of it."

Zhu Wanquan was more practical and answered honestly.

"It's not that you heard it yourself, it's that someone else is making fun of you...... They know that you, as Zhu Hao's elder, didn't even get into the exam early, and your nephew entered Beijing at a young age to take the Jinshi exam, deliberately teasing you...... Tired, I went back to sleep. ”

Zhu Wanjian didn't believe it at all, his face was full of disdain, "It's stupid to read?" Believe this kind of nonsense! Will it be the yuan, why not say that it is the champion? ”

"Second brother, this matter ...... Did you inform Yu Niang? ”

Zhu Wanquan didn't think that so many people outside came to make fun of the Zhu family.

Besides, there is no difficulty in verifying this matter at all, just send someone to the Gongyuan to check it out, and it will be clear at a glance, why are others bothering so much effort to trick themselves?

Zhu Wanjian sneered: "Did you get confused when you came back from a trip in the middle of the day?" To bother the mother? It's no wonder if my mother doesn't eat you alive...... What my brother told you in the morning, are you deaf and don't hear clearly? ”

"But second brother, there are so many people outside......"

Zhu Wanquan was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

Zhu Wanjian continued to disdain: "Let them continue to shout, and they will deceive you, a nerd......"

……

……

At first, Zhu Wanjian didn't believe it.

But more and more people came from outside, and in the end, even Shuntianfu sent people to congratulate them.

Jinyi Wei Thousand Households Home...... is still a real job, even if it is declining now, but the Zhu family is out of Jinshi, so why don't you hurry up and make friends?

Jinyi Wei Qianhu and Jinshi, the two are brought out separately, which is not uncommon in the officialdom of the capital, but if they are combined...... The Jinyi Guard Honor is added to the name of a Jinshi.

The Zhu family is about to take off!

I can't say that this Jinshi of the Zhu family, relying on the relationship of Jinyiwei, and the courtiers climbed into friendship, the current emperor likes nepotism the most, Jiang Bin is now also the leader of the Jinyi Guard, maybe he will introduce people to Zhengde, and he will be promoted and appointed, so he will become a fighter among the ministers, and in the future, "civil and military will eat", "black and white will eat".

"What? Someone from Shuntianfu? Are they well fed? ”

Zhu Wanjian came to the door, and saw the officials of Shuntianfu beating gongs and drums and holding red satin, and at this time he no longer felt that someone was making fun of Zhu Wanquan or the Zhu family.

Does his nephew really know how to test the title, and will he be in high school?

Zhu Wanquan had no love on his face: "I told my second brother a long time ago, if you don't believe it, I'm afraid it's hard for my mother to think about it at this time......"

As he was talking, a mother-in-law came out of the backyard, it was Mrs. Song in front of Zhu Jia's family, who came over and said, "Two masters, the old lady is invited." ”

"Would you like to say hello here?" Zhu Wanquan also wanted to entertain the visiting guests.

Zhu Wanjian pulled him and walked to the inner courtyard.

Probably meaning, how do you know that the old lady didn't mean to drive people away? It's better to close the door directly after asking for opinions, when you don't know that there is such a thing!

Listen to me.

……

……

Backyard transept.

The representatives of the three rooms arrived, and this time the people in each room already knew that the third room of the Zhu family was not from the old lady, waiting for her to go crazy.

Zhu Jiashi's face was grim: "Send someone to come forward and welcome the people who came to congratulate you into the door, but only in the front yard, don't make too much noise." ”

Zhu Wanjian asked in surprise: "Mother, that Xinke Huiyuan is not your own grandson, and you are so happy?" ”

"He's not my own grandson, but your own nephew...... Second, you're getting more and more presumptuous! The old lady glared at Zhu Wanjian angrily.

Zhu Wanquan asked in surprise: "Mother, is this matter ...... Why haven't you heard it mentioned before? Third brother he ......"

"It's old, do you want to make the family scandal known to everyone?"

Zhu Jiashi doesn't seem to want to dwell on these old things anymore.

Zhu Wanjian said: "Mother, we can't eat this secret loss and drive people away directly." What is the good news, it has nothing to do with our Zhu family, I stand with my mother. ”

The old lady stared at this stupid son who couldn't see the situation clearly.

Jiang Yonghe of the big house spoke at this time: "Since I am a descendant of the Zhu family, I can bring glory to the family and boost the family lintel, why not?" Do you have to make a disturbed appearance in front of outsiders? How does this benefit the Zhu family? ”

"Sister-in-law, here is your share of a woman's family?"

Zhu Wanjian glanced at Jiang Yonghe disdainfully.

Jiang Yonghe was too lazy to care about this incompetent second uncle, closed his eyes and continued to twist the Buddha beads.

Zhu Wanquan said: "Then do you want to tell your father?" ”

"No!"

Zhu Jiashi immediately refused.

Zhu Wanjian interjected: "But it's so noisy, doesn't Dad know?" Besides, my father has been in bed for many years, and he can't even speak this year, what is the difference between him and not? ”

Zhu Jiashi glared.

Zhu Wanjian directly avoided the old lady's unkind gaze and closed her mouth and said nothing.

……

……

Here is about to greet the good news.

Before Zhu Jiashi and his two sons arrived in the front yard, a servant came over to say: "Old lady, two old men...... The big man he ...... It's back. ”

"Big brother?"

Zhu Wanjian was a little confused.

The Zhu family almost can't remember this person.

Zhu Jia's face was neither happy nor sad, and he greeted lightly: "Go and see." ”

Several people went to the front yard.

Zhu Wanhong stepped into the courtyard of the Zhu family first, at this time his image was completely different from the previous down-and-out image, wearing a brocade guard and a thousand official uniforms, with twenty or thirty brocade guards around him, looking murderous.

Because Zhu Wanhong brought people back, all the people at the door were silent, but the crowd did not disperse.

"Wu'er, you are ......"

When Zhu Jiashi saw Zhu Wanhong's appearance, he was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.

Zhu Wanhong clenched his fists: "Mother, the child is on official business, come back to discuss with his father...... Please tell your father where he is. ”

Zhu Jiashi was even more puzzled: "You came back to talk about your nephew's tribute?" What can't I tell my mother? Do you have to counsel with your father? Your Daddy...... Now I can't speak. ”

Zhu Wanhong's attitude was indifferent, and he said very resolutely: "The child was ordered to come, and he couldn't explain too much to his mother, please be accommodating, don't stop it." ”

Zhu Jiashi saw that the eldest son's attitude was abnormal, different from the previous crying when he came back, and he looked fearless.

"Second brother, take your eldest brother to meet your father, fourth, you go out with me to welcome guests......"

Zhu Jiashi did not hinder Zhu Wanhong.

Now no matter whether Zhu Hao is a jinshi or not, at least Zhu Wanhong has brought people back, and his arrogant appearance proves that he is mixing well now, so walking around in front of people is tantamount to justifying the name of the Zhu family in the neighborhood, and outsiders know that the Zhu family has not declined, but usually acts in a low-key manner.

……

……

When he came to the backyard of Zhu's house, Zhu Wanhong saw his old father dying on the sickbed.

Next to him, there was a thin man in his thirties, who was responsible for taking care of Zhu Mingshan, wiping his body, turning over and grooming, without an Adam's apple, like a eunuch.

After seeing Zhu Wanhong, this person did not speak, nodded, and got up and went out.

"He's a mute, his ears are not good, he entered the palace when he was a child, he made a mistake and was kicked out, and he is very good at serving people...... My mother hired me from outside. ”

Zhu Wanjian introduced.

Zhu Wanhong waved his hand: "You go out." ”

"Big brother, it's rare for you to come back, tell your dad something, I can't listen?" Zhu Wanjian didn't want to go out easily, although the old lady didn't explicitly let him eavesdrop before, but he still had this bit of eyesight.

"Get out!"

Zhu Wanhong turned around, his face was full of majesty, he stroked the handle of the knife with his hand, and shouted loudly.

Zhu Wanjian was a little helpless, and muttered: "Even if you say it, your father may not be able to hear it, what is the difference between living like this and dying?" ”

Then the man went out, and the footsteps quickly walked away, and apparently he didn't bother to eavesdrop after being reprimanded by his brother.

……

……

"Father, the child is back."

Zhu Wanhong knelt down in front of Zhu Mingshan.

Zhu Mingshan's eyes were wide open, his eyes were extremely hollow, and he stared at the window in a daze, and did not respond for a long time.

"There are no outsiders, Dad can say it clearly."

Zhu Wanhong spoke again.

Zhu Mingshan's eyes regained their agility, his attention was on Zhu Wanhong, and he finally spoke: "Alas, you came back too early." ”

The tone of his speech was very smooth, without any stumbling, and he was obviously not sick to the point of being unable to speak.

Zhu Wanhong said: "Father, I have successfully brought down the thief Qian Ning, even if I am lucky enough not to die, there is no possibility of a comeback in the future."

"Jiang Bin trusts the child very much, his power now can be said to cover the sky with one hand, and then today will be the test list, your grandson Zhu Hao will take the first place in the high school exam, you have worked hard in the past few years, and you have finally come to an end."

Zhu Mingshan shook his head, with phlegm in his throat when he spoke, but his voice was very clear: "Jiang Bin's evil is better than Qian Ning's, now he is not a Ming monarch who can be entrusted with his wealth, and his grandson is only a tribute now, even if he is a jinshi in the future, he is at the end of his first entry into the court, how can he change the situation of the Zhu family?" ”

Not only is he fluent in speech, but he also has a very good understanding of external affairs.

Zhu Jiashi hired a deaf and dumb eunuch to take care of her husband, who was completely isolated from the outside world, but Zhu Mingshan was able to hear the outside news, not with his eyes closed, obviously the inside story was not simple.

"Father's ......"

Zhu Wanhong was speechless for a while.

"Go back, be respectful to your mother, don't take any offense, let her see the clues. Until something happens that changes the situation, you will see me again...... When the time comes, remember to bring Zhu Hao and think about this grandson for my father......"

Zhu Mingshan shook his head and sighed lightly.

Zhu Wanhong got up: "Father's words, the child remembers." ”
