Chapter 524: The Willows and Flowers Are Bright
In mid-June, Anlu Prefecture.
Zhu Niang has been reluctant to give up these days, because she has known that the palace test has been held on May 15, Zhu Hao mentioned it many times in his previous letters, and probably knew that there would be news of the palace test release in the next few days, and she sent someone to the dock to ask a few times a day.
On this day, she went to the dock area in person to deal with the transfer of goods in the warehouse.
After the shopkeeper arrived in Beijing, Zhu Niang's business in the land of Anlu made Zhu Niang a little unbearable, and with her ability, it might be better to look at a rice paper shop.
She asked herself if she was not suitable for such a showy business.
"Madam, go back quickly, the person who reported the good news is here, saying that the young master is a jinshi!"
Just when Zhu Niang was thinking about her thoughts, there was no news from the dock today, thinking that she would have to wait for the next day, and the city had already reported the good news first.
The news of Zhongjinshi is not uncommon to Zhu Niang.
She has long known that winning the Gongshi means being a Jinshi, as long as she doesn't suddenly drive the crane west, or if her son has any big accidents, this Jinshi's fame will not run.
She is more concerned about how many grades Zhu Haodian won in the exam.
"Okay, I'll go back now."
Zhu Niang immediately cleaned up her mood and prepared to take the carriage back to the city.
I don't want a carriage to come at this time.
This carriage is relatively wide, at first glance it is the carriage of the official family, Zhu Niang is surprised, a person got off the car, walked towards her, it seems to be a man but the voice of the voice is shrill and soft, as soon as I hear it, it is a eunuch: "...... This is the third lady of the Zhu family, right? On the order of the princess, she came to pick up the third lady to the palace. ”
Zhu Niang was stunned.
Xingwangfu looking for her?
Or was it an order given by Princess Xing herself?
Zhu Niangzheng didn't know how to answer, and the guard of honor next to the carriage said respectfully: "Madame, don't worry, we are here by order, all because Young Master Zhu won the top prize, and the princess wants to congratulate her in person." ”
As soon as Zhu Niang heard the "champion", her head buzzed instantly, and she couldn't stand steadily.
The eunuch hurriedly came over to help, but was blocked by the people behind Zhu Niang.
"I ...... The concubine is going to ......."
Zhu Niang couldn't care about anything else.
In his heart, he was ecstatic, but he couldn't show it too obviously, so he immediately boarded the carriage of Xingwangfu and went to the city.
……
……
Inside the Xingwang Mansion.
Zhu Niang met the hostess of Xingwang's Mansion for the first time, Princess Jiang.
Princess Jiang met Zhu Niang in the back hall, and there was Lu Song's wife Fan Niang beside her, and the maid next to her was simply packing up her things, and it could be seen that Princess Jiang was going to travel far away.
Zhu Niang guessed that when her son became the emperor, she naturally had to go to the capital.
Then should I also follow my son to the capital?
"The folk girl has seen the princess ...... Niangniang"
Zhu Niang hurriedly saluted.
Princess Jiang said with a smile: "Zhu Niang, you are polite, Ling Lang is in Beijing, and His Majesty Zuo is doing great things, and he is the champion in the examination with his own ability, and there are many places to serve the imperial court in the future, and our two families will have to move around more when they arrive in Beijing." ”
After all, Princess Jiang is high, she will not call Zhu Niang "madam", so she will be commensurate with an equal tone, which can be regarded as a kind of appreciation and love for Zhu Niang.
After all, she is a woman who wants to be the queen mother.
Zhu Niang hurriedly said: "I don't dare to be a concubine." ”
Princess Jiang had a kind smile on her face, obviously because her son's letter specifically showed the value of Zhu Hao's contribution after he ascended the throne, and she knew that Zhu Hao was running around for the big ceremony and helping them "reunite mother and son", so that Princess Jiang had to get acquainted with Zhu Niang.
"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"
Princess Jiang said: "Your Majesty has issued an order to deliver your midwife to Beijing, and I wanted to go with you, but I expected that your local business has not yet been completed." Besides, the relationship between Ling Lang and His Majesty cannot be leaked to the outside world for the time being, so please don't publicize it to the outside world......"
"The concubine can't talk nonsense."
Zhu Niang hurriedly expressed her position.
"Huh."
Princess Jiang was very happy, "In addition, some gifts have been prepared here, and when you leave the palace, let people give them together." I'll see you again when you get to Beijing...... is really a well-born son, a woman can bring up a big child, let him make a difference, can be described as an example of a mother in the world. ”
The words of praise are very ordinary, but Zhu Niang listened to it, but her heart was hot, and someone finally recognized her actions in this life, and she was still the emperor's biological mother.
In the past, how dare you fantasize about coming to the palace to meet the princess?
Now this princess will soon be the queen mother.
Fan Niang smiled on the side: "Yes, princess, Mrs. Zhu San taught her son well, and now she can win the fate, which is really enviable." ”
Princess Jiang said with a smile: "Your husband is also a Jinyi Wei Qianhu in Beijing, he has a good relationship with Xiao Zhuangyuan, and Ling Lang is also a classmate with him...... They all got the blessing of the first king, and God bless my palace! ”
Princess Jiang gave all the credit to her dead husband.
While this is debatable, no one would argue with it.
……
……
When Zhu Niang left the palace, she had to be sent by Fan Niang.
Fan Niang is very aware of the relationship between her husband and Zhu Hao, and now she is quite worried in her heart, she is very afraid that after her husband enters Jinyiwei, she will be exposed for her meticulous work as Jinyiwei, and she also wants to ask Zhu Niang to help, let her talk to Zhu Hao, and let Zhu Hao protect her husband more thoughtfully.
Now even Fan Niang knows that the people the new emperor relies on the most are not Yuan Zonggao, Zhang Zuo, or Tang Yin, but Zhu Hao.
Fan Niang, as the number one figure in the palace, naturally knows how to deal with Zhu Hao, the mastermind of the little emperor, and as a woman, she can't meet Zhu Hao, so start with Zhu Hao's wife.
“…… When the concubine arrived at the palace, she hadn't returned to the palace, and she didn't know ......"
Zhu Niang was a little ashamed.
Before he got the notice of Xingwangfu, he didn't even know that his son was the top student in the exam.
It's like a dream.
Fan Niang pursed her lips and smiled: "That's the time to go back earlier, I'm afraid that the Zun Mansion will already be full of people at this time, and wait for Mrs. Yu to return to the house." The third lady is not very old, but she has a champion son, and I am afraid that countless people will want to learn from you. ”
"Everywhere, it's all Xiao Hao...... My son, his own creation. ”
Zhu Niang actually didn't understand.
Her teaching to Zhu Hao is quite limited, and she once thought about contributing, but in fact, she didn't do much, it was more the result of her son's own efforts, and she was mostly at the mercy of her son, and rarely took the initiative to help.
So she still doesn't know how she succeeded in teaching her son.
Fan Niang sighed: "Ling Lang behaved extraordinary when he was in the palace, every time there was an amazing move, he was a young hero, I heard that even Mr. Gongsun was only promoted in the examination because of his favor, and the dog hopes to learn more from him in the future." ”
said that others want to learn from the scriptures, but in fact, the person who wants to learn the most is Fan Niang.
After all, Fan Niang now has two sons, the eldest son Lu Bing is a classmate of Zhu Hao, but Zhu Hao has been admitted to the top and become the right-hand man of the new emperor, and her son is still a naughty boy who has no idea, this contrast is really a bit big, so Fan Niang wants her son to learn more by Zhu Hao's side.
"Yes, yes."
Zhu Niang couldn't promise anything for her son, she just responded casually.
……
……
After Fan Niang sent Zhu Niang away, she went back to see Princess Jiang.
"Going back?" Princess Jiang said with a smile.
"Yes!"
Fan Niang saluted.
Princess Jiang said with a smile: "People really know how to give birth to sons, let your children learn more from her son in the future, Your Majesty needs to be able to help." ”
"Yes."
Fan Niang continued to answer respectfully.
"Pack up early, leave for the north in a few days, and send someone to the Sun Mansion to urge, Your Majesty has a word, let Sun Lao Shangshu must accompany him to the Beijing Division, His Majesty lacks arm help after ascending the throne, Sun Lao Shangshu and my palace have a good relationship, if it is feasible...... The previous marriage contract can still be honored, after all, His Majesty has not been married until now......"
Princess Jiang meant that she hurriedly urged Sun Jiao to go north to Beijing to be the head of the household department.
Get you a good job, you don't even know to promise it sooner.
And then your daughter, our palace is still worried about it, such a marriage is also a way for the emperor to quickly obtain political resources, and there is no need to say anything unruly, just say that there is a marriage contract, can others still verify it?
The words of the matchmaker of the parents, I, who is a mother-in-law, have the final say.
……
……
Because the Xing Wangfu had avoided divulging Zhu Hao's intimate relationship with the palace, the carriage that sent Zhu Niang back to the palace stopped across the street.
After Zhu Niang got off the carriage, she walked back to her house.
As Fan Niang said.
The door of the shop was already crowded with people at this time.
Anluzhou City has produced a champion, and it is a young champion, just like a child next door who is not open-minded, and has become a Wenqu star that everyone envies overnight, Anluzhou City is not big, except for the neighborhood, the gentry and heroes in the city all came to visit.
"Champion Mother is back!"
"Mother of the champion...... Lady Fate! It's coming, it's coming! ”
Zhu Niang was looking at how to pass through the crowd, and when she was recognized, the crowd immediately got out of the way.
Zhu Niang was surrounded by a group of seven aunts and eight aunts, and the stars came brightly.
"Look at other people, they are rich and powerful, but they are still clothed and clothed, and they are really my model of a woman in the Ming Festival."
"A widow with a son is called bitterness. I'm afraid Meng Mu is not as good as it. ”
A group of people desperately touted.
Zhu Niang finally walked to the door of her house, and Aunt Li came out and grabbed her arm, with tears in her eyes: "Madam, I am finally looking forward to this day." ”
Zhu Niang was still holding on, but when the scene came to this point, her tears flowed down.
Thinking of all the things he has experienced in the past seven years, in order to let his son go to school, he spent so much effort to fight wits and courage with the Zhu family...... Now that the willows are bright, it seems that all the efforts are worth it.
"Crackling ......"
Firecrackers are lit.
This firecracker is to wait for Zhu Niang to come back and then light it.
The people who reported the good news from the government had been waiting for a long time, and when Zhu Niang came, they naturally had to say the good news of Zhu Hao's top prize in the examination again, because they all knew that Zhu Niang was the main master, and they also knew that Zhu Niang was now rich and rich, and she would not be treated badly in terms of reward.
"Third lady, your son has won the top prize, and this Anlu City will depend on your blessing in the future."
"yes, the neighbors, don't forget us!"
I want to follow the champion to get light.
Zhu Niang said: "Wu'er High School, all of it is its own creation, the concubine does not understand the rules, if Wu'er becomes an official in the capital in the future, the concubine or go to Beijing with him......"
"That's right, someone's son has won the top prize, why do you want to stay in our small place of Anlu?"
"Zhu Niang, your son is waiting for the opening of the government, if our big dog goes to run, he must leave an errand."
"Our little shunzi also has to ......"
