Zhu family, back hall.

Zhu Wanhong stood there respectfully, while Zhu Jiashi looked at his eldest son with an annoyed expression.

"Wu'er, now it's just for you to take your Jinyi guards to knock on the third family, you can't do this little thing? You are the real Jinyi Wei Qianhu of the Ming Dynasty, don't you say that now you have more power in the East Factory and Jinyi Wei? If you can't even do this little thing, how can you be respected? ”

Zhu Jiashi put pressure on Zhu Wanhong.

Zhu Wanhong cried with a sad face, looking very sad, and his voice was almost mournful: "Mother, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's not that I can't take it seriously, it's just that the eldest nephew of the third family is now a person from the Hanlin Academy, and he is also an old man from Yangge, how can he take action without permission?" If it is the same family, Yang Ge Lao and Xiao Gonggong of the Admiral Dongchang will not let go. ”

Zhu Wanhong, as always, pretends to be a grandson in front of people.

This time I pretended to be in front of my mother, but it didn't matter, anyway, this mother never looked down on him.

He can't tell Zhu Hao's true identity, if the Zhu family leaks out, this account will definitely be counted on his head by Zhu Hao.

"Bang!"

Zhu Jiashi threw the teacup in his hand and smashed it.

Zhu Wanhong showed that he was frightened, jumped up on the spot, and was in a hurry for a long time before he calmed down, and persuaded him: "Mother, let's calm down." ”

Zhu Jiashi sneered: "The child of the third family, obviously grew up in the palace, will the elder Yang Ge believe him?" Aren't you making a big joke in the world? ”

Zhu Wanhong said: "Zhu Hao, don't look young, but people are talented, and Yang Ge likes to gather this kind of young talent...... In the matter of discussing the big gift and entering the palace after receiving the Xing offering, Zhu Hao took the lead in jointly playing against it, such a young and capable champion, who doesn't like it? ”

"That is to say, there is no way for the mother to deal with the third family?"

Zhu Jiashi was furious.

Obviously, now that the Zhu family has gained power, unlike Hongzhi and Zhengde when they were released and bullied, it seems that she should stand up and be a man now, but in her own family affairs, she can't make a decision.

"It's not ...... Don't worry about it, it's the same family, why bother? ”

Zhu Wanhong continued to pretend to be his grandson.

Zhu Jiashi said angrily: "Why did the Zhu family come out of you? You can't even do the slightest thing! Looking at your nest, you should really step down your position in the thousand-household and let the rest of the family take over...... With you, my Zhu family's future in Jinyiwei will be ruined sooner or later! ”

When Zhu Wanhong heard this, he was angry.

Old lady, is your head painted?

Who does the Zhu family rely on now?

I first defected to Qian Ning outside, then to Jiang Bin, and then to Yang Tinghe, and secretly wanted to defect to the new emperor through my eldest nephew.

Point face no?

"Mother, I remember, there is still something for me to do at the yamen, so I'm leaving...... Come back and visit my parents. ”

After speaking, Zhu Wanhong turned around and left.

I'm going to be relegated to my position as a brocade guard, why am I still staying with you? As for who in the family wants to go up, it must be the second brother who is favored by the old lady!

That's the ...... It's hard to put into words.

"Wait!"

Zhu Jiashi roared angrily, "What are you doing? Mother taught you two sentences, and you are leaving? ”

"No, mother, there's really something going on, there have been some situations in Nanjing recently, and Jinyi Wei is very busy." Zhu Wanhong said casually.

At this time, the other person had already walked out of the back hall door.

Zhu Jiashi felt that it might have been too hasty just now, but instead of scaring the eldest son, it made the eldest son very rebellious, and hurriedly said: "You can leave if you want to, now I only ask you one thing, you should always find out the address of the third family after entering Beijing, right?" Talk to your mother, and your mother will no longer embarrass you. ”

Zhu Wanhong listened.

Sell Zhu Niang's address to Zhu Jia's family?

It sounds okay, it's better than exposing Zhu Hao.

If the old lady is okay to find trouble with Zhu Niang, Zhu Hao will be anxious, and then she will come forward to say that she can help......

"Mother, I really don't know, but I guess someone will come to inform me later today...... I didn't tell you, just wait at home. ”

Zhu Wanhong can be said to have a bad stomach, even if he wants to sell Zhu Hao, he can't show that he did it.

Of course, with some means.

……

……

On this day, Zhu Hao was still in the laboratory of the workshop in the afternoon, and Yu San hurriedly came to look for it, informing the old lady that she was looking for trouble with Zhu Niang.

When Zhu Hao heard this, he knew it in his heart.

Wait for Zhu Hao and Yu San to arrive at the door.

The old lady was sitting on the main seat of the main hall, as if she was the emperor, while Zhu Niang and Aunt Li could only stand respectfully aside.

"Why is Grandmother here?"

Zhu Hao walked into the main hall and didn't salute, but asked directly.

Zhu Jiashi glared at Zhu Hao: "Grandson, when you see your grandmother, don't you even have a minimum number of courtesies?" ”

Zhu Hao smiled: "Why stick to those cumbersome rituals? Grandmother won't come to trouble us orphans and widows, right? ”

"Bastard thing!"

Zhu Jiashi said angrily, "You are a descendant of my Zhu family, after you won the top prize, you didn't even come to the house to kowtow, and you didn't go to the ancestral hall to burn incense, you didn't think of yourself as the Zhu family!"

"Hmph, how can people who don't even care about filial piety and etiquette stand in the Ming Dynasty? It seems that the old body should go out and promote your virtues well, so that everyone in the world knows what the champion of the Ming Dynasty looks like. ”

Obviously, Zhu Jia's visit this time has been prepared.

is to make a fuss about Zhu Hao's "unfilial piety".

You won the top prize, your wings are hard, we couldn't cure you in Xingwangfu before, and now you think you can go to heaven, but it is a crime of unfilial piety, which can be condemned by the Zhu family, and then you will have a disgrace in the court.

"Xiao Hao, hurry up and salute my grandmother."

Zhu Niang became nervous and hurriedly persuaded her son.

Zhu Hao smiled: "Mother, you don't understand this? Grandmother has something to do, but she doesn't care about that superficial article, even if I kowtow here and break my head today, my grandmother should say that I am not filial, but she will still say it. To no avail. ”

Zhu Niang thought about it, yes.

Will the old lady give up the trouble of finding a third room because her grandson salutes in front of her?

There must be no weakness now!

Zhu Jiashi sneered: "The third family, this is the son you taught?" I really don't know the rules at all. ”

"Grandmother, I'm an adult, and I should speak like an adult...... Let's put it this way, I heard that my grandmother recently wanted the second uncle to return to Jinyiwei and get back the 100 household jobs that she had lost before, and even wanted to get a real job? Zhu Hao said.

Zhu Jiashi couldn't help but change color when he heard this.

After his grandson won the top prize, he was really different from before, and even his words hit the nail on the head, or her weakness.

Zhu Jiashi said: "Where did you hear that? ”

Zhu Hao said: "Ming people don't say secret words, I know a lot of people in the palace, and now many of them have entered the Jinyi Guard, such as the former palace honor guard master of honor Wei Zheng, the current Jinyi Wei Zhu Commander, as well as the Beizhen Fu Si Luo Zhen Fu Envoy, and ...... Which one I don't recognize? This is no secret. ”

In fact, this news was really not given by these people, but was investigated by Zhu Hao himself.

The situation on the Zhu family's side has actually been under Zhu Hao's control all along.

Zhu Hao's face was relaxed: "Grandmother's mind is to revitalize the Zhu family, and my winning the top prize in the examination is also a great thing to revitalize the lintel of the Zhu family, how can my grandmother easily stink my reputation, just to get out of my heart?" Didn't my grandmother think about the serious consequences of this? ”

"Humph!"

Zhu Jiashi sneered.

You don't think of yourself as the Zhu family, and I don't treat you as the Zhu family, and you still have to think about the result of ruining your reputation? In this way, it means that your kid is scared, and he is pretending to be calm here.

"Oh, grandmother, I also heard a news that the uncle's position of Jinyi Wei Qianhu may be gone!" Zhu Hao said in a casual tone.

"What did you say?"

Zhu Jiashi frowned again.

Zhu Hao said: "I just heard from Jinyiwei's friend that Jinyiwei is liquidating the old man of the previous dynasty, like the uncle, who has not made any merit in the past, and now he can't do anything big after the age of forty, he will resign, and the official title of Qianhu may be preserved, but his position will be given to young people." ”

"Hmph, grandson, do you think grandmother will believe it?"

Of course, Zhu Jiashi didn't think Zhu Hao was so well-informed.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Uncle went home today, right?" Didn't you say anything about the business he was going through after meeting his grandmother? For example, there is something wrong with Nanjing Jinyiwei? Let's put it this way, Yang Ge wants to clean up the officialdom in Nanjing, and the new emperor also has such thoughts, what do they mean, let the uncle go to Nanjing Jinyiwei first to hang up a post, what does grandmother think of this? ”

"What did you say?"

Zhu Jiashi must have completely disbelieved Zhu Hao's nonsense before, but Zhu Hao could even guess Zhu Wanhong's mention of Nanjing, as if what Zhu Hao said was getting closer to the truth.

Zhu Hao smiled: "Since the uncle is going to Nanjing, then the Zhu family should also go with him, after all, he has to go to the garrison, and he can do things better with his family." Grandmother might as well go back and prepare for her journey. ”

"Bastard!" Zhu Jiashi couldn't help it, slapped the table and said, "You grandson, what are you talking nonsense?" Believe it or not, old body ......"

Zhu Hao's face became cold: "Do you believe that grandmother will kill the killer?" It's like treating Steward Liu? ”

"You...... What did you say? ”

Zhu Jia's face changed abruptly.

Zhu Hao said: "The previous work of Xingwangfu in the Zhu family was Steward Liu, and later it should have been poked out by the uncle, but Steward Liu was sent back to the countryside by the Zhu family and encountered robbers, and then the bones were gone...... Is it my grandmother who secretly kills people? ”

"You ......"

When Zhu Jiashi came, he never thought that he would fall into such an embarrassing situation.

In the past, when I came to the three-room house to find trouble, didn't I be able to let myself go wild every time?

Why don't you play according to the routine now?

Zhu Hao said coldly: "Since they are all of the same clan, I can still make a contribution, let the second uncle go back to Jinyiwei to be a hundred households, it just so happens that there is a lack of work to look at the grave in Kangling, so let the second uncle go to work for a few days, the hard work is hard, and it may be dark at ordinary times." Originally, he wouldn't do anything else, so it shouldn't be okay to let him guard the imperial tomb, right? ”
