Chapter 184: Please Your Majesty Give the Country Surname for Merit, Isn't It Not a Son-in-law (6,000 Words)
Since he has seen everything, there is no need to deliberately avoid it, so Zhu Changshu made an exception and allowed his daughter to accompany the guests to eat at the same table.
After all, Shen Shuren is the commander who led the troops to rescue Henan, and he is also the life-saving benefactor of their Luwang Mansion, and it is also beautiful to know the kindness.
With such an excuse, the defense of men and women is not so rigorous, anyway, it's just a meal.
Xinyang is poor, and everyone in the palace is also here, and the diet and living are not yet luxurious, so the main dishes on the table are just the meat of some mountain beasts, including muntjac meat and roe deer. In winter, there are not many vegetarian dishes, only some pickled pickles.
When eating, Shen Shuren naturally kept his food silent and did not take the initiative to speak, but when asked questions, he still answered casually.
When Zhu Changshu and Zhu Yuchan were eating, they didn't seem to have much appetite, and they stopped when they clicked. Especially Zhu Changshu, perhaps because of the Buddha, actually only eats pickles, which surprised Shen Shuren, or it may be accidental, there is another hidden secret. Although Zhu Yuchan has a poor appetite, she eats all meat and vegetables.
On the contrary, Shen Shuren is handsome and handsome, running around, not only can live a life of fine clothes and food, but also endure hardships. I ate two large bowls of rice with roe deer meat and pickles, and at the same time the eating appearance was still very elegant.
Zhu Changshu casually observed his demeanor, and he could see that he was definitely a person who could bend and stretch.
"This kind of person does great things." Zhu Changshu was secretly worried in his heart.
And Zhu Yuchan is young, so she doesn't have so much thought. She has lived in a simple place since she was a child, and she has little opportunity to chat with outsiders, so from her hobby of music theory to her travels, she has chatted a lot with Shen Shuren, and Shen Shuren has always answered questions.
After eating, Shen Shuren got up and said goodbye to Zhu Changshu, Zhu Changshu got up to send it, Shen Shuren hurriedly thanked him: "How dare you have the prince of Lao to send it, this doesn't break the blessing of the lower officials, please stay." ”
At this time, Zhu Yuchan suddenly jumped out and pulled her father's sleeve to make a fool of herself: "Father, I'll send Brother Shen out, I'm young, don't lose my fortune." ”
"You kid...... Send it to the front yard and go back. Zhu Changshu has been arrogant and indulgent in his daughter since he was a child, and he is helpless, just thinking that his daughter is playful and has not stopped it.
Zhu Yuchan jumped up and down to lead the way, took Shen Shuren out of the house, and when she turned the weeping flower gate, the maids and eunuchs who came to greet her saluted, and then looked at Shen Shuren's eyes, they were all a little surprised.
Shen Shuren was awkwardly looked at and was uncomfortable, but Zhu Yuchan took the initiative to disperse everyone coquettishly: "Okay, what should I do, what should I do, what is there to see." ”
The maids then dispersed.
Shen Shuren was still surprised, thinking that this little girl was empathetic and could observe words and feelings, and realized that he didn't want to be watched.
However, in the next second, Zhu Yuchan's demeanor immediately announced that Shen Shuren's speculation was simply wrong.
Zhu Yuchan glanced left and right to confirm that there was no one next to her, so she tiptoed closer, put her palm to her mouth, and said quietly:
"My father was here at dinner just now, and there was a question I wasn't embarrassed to ask, but I knew that my father actually wanted to ask it."
Shen Shuren frowned, secretly wondering that this little girl wouldn't be so precocious, right?
However, he didn't show it, so he didn't move and I replied indifferently: "It's okay to ask, the county lord." ”

Zhu Yuchan: "Father has always been very shy about dealing with the governors and officials, but this time I saw you, I really felt ashamed, I heard people outside, Brother Shen, you broke through from Chen County in order to prevent the thieves from intercepting us, fought with the thieves, and repelled them, right?"
In fact, my father has always wanted to know, you have a city that you don't defend, but you fight a decisive battle in the field, and I don't know how many people have died. My father was kind to the Buddha and thought that so many soldiers had died in vain to save us, and I was very disturbed when I heard him recite the Buddha recently.
That's why today you came to ask for a meeting, and he saw him all at once. My father was embarrassed to ask this question personally, but I knew what was on my father's mind, so of course I had to help him ask it. ”
When Shen Shuren heard this, he realized that he was different.
A fifteen-year-old girl, still a county lord who doesn't know anything in a simple place, how can she see a tall, mighty, fair, pure and talented man, she can't walk and think about those things.
People originally just wanted to be filial to their father, and they were afraid that their father would be sick and difficult to go, so they helped ask some inconvenient things.
Let's be honest, though...... King Lu's level of "kindness" is actually not a "benevolence", but he just wants to feel at ease. Similar to "The old man is kind-hearted, he can't see the poor, it's better for the poor to stay away and don't appear in the master's field of vision".
Of course, it is better for people who cultivate themselves and recite Buddha to have compassion than nothing.
There were still many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, who took pleasure in cruelty, and in contrast, those who chanted Buddha at least did not kill people indiscriminately.
Of course, Shen Shuren also wants to be filial to the other party, so Zhengse said: "Who do you think of this official?" Is this official the kind of despicable villain who doesn't care about soldiers and just wants to be promoted and get rich?
His Majesty's edict must be completed, and what the vassal king can save must be saved, but the lives of the soldiers, of course, cannot be sacrificed at will! In the battle of Chen County, everything was within the plan of the official, and the final decisive battle with the thieves was of course certain.
The strength of the heat has been brewed to that point, and we are sure that we will be able to defeat the thieves, and we are also in order to make a decisive battle for the sake of long-term pain and short-term pain, so that the people of Henan will suffer less time. ”
Zhu Yuchan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, my father has always thought that in order to save him, many more people have died. I want to ask but don't dare to ask, I'm afraid that everything is true.
I just thought that if you told me that there were really a lot of extra deaths in order to save the people in the palace, I would pretend not to ask after asking, and I wouldn't mention it to my father. Confirm that it is good news, and then find an opportunity to talk to him secretly. ”
Zhu Yuchan's speech and demeanor when she said this were just like a family with college entrance examination candidates, but after the exam, they didn't dare to call to check the score, and wanted to pretend to be an ostrich for a few more days.
So the relatives at home secretly helped to check the phone and confirmed that it was good news, so they reported the good news as soon as possible. If it turns out to be bad news, then let it be and pretend to be an ostrich again.
Of course, Shen Shuren can understand this mentality, and he can't help but sigh: "It's rare that the county lord has filial piety, and the prince doesn't hurt you in vain." ”
Zhu Yuchan was praised and couldn't help but feel a little proud, but after thinking about it, she was a little uneasy, so she pestered and asked deeply: "Then you won't be comforting me, right?" It's not that I'm afraid that you will comfort me, but I'm afraid that after I relay it, my father won't believe it, and think I'm ignorant and coaxing him.

Can you tell me about the thieves in Chen County, what strategy did you use to win the thief, and how did you manage not to kill too many people? ”
Hearing this question, Shen Shuren couldn't help but smile: "What do you know about war strategy?" I said it, and you can't relay it. ”
Zhu Yuchan has never suffered a loss since she was a child, and being rejected still makes her very unhappy, and she said arrogantly: "How do you know that I don't understand if you don't say it?" Besides, even if I don't understand, you won't pick someone I can understand. ”
Shen Shuren thought about it, so he simplified many details, and then relayed the truth that "there have been famous generals who have won since ancient times, but the key is to put them to death and live later, and at the same time cut off the soldiers' retreat and let them fight", and relayed it in words that children can understand.
The focus of his description also stopped at "before the decisive battle, he had tried many times, and while exhausting the enemy, he made his people believe that the grain route was cut off, but there was still food in stock, and there was only hope that the enemy could be retreated by fighting to the death." ”
In the end, of course, he inevitably repeated the morale-boosting joke that he had said the most, emphasizing that he was "an official for the Ming Dynasty, in order to motivate morale, and in order to make the soldiers believe that there was no other choice, he made a bloody investment in advance to let the thieves burn down more than a dozen of his grain trucks carrying hundreds of materials."
Of course Zhu Yuchan didn't understand the profound strategies that Shen Shuren said, and she was completely in a fog. But the final subsidy to be an official to motivate morale is still understandable.
Because these elements are the same as the bitter jokes in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhu Yuchan can be understood by analogy with the singing opera she has heard.
And the causes and consequences of these paragraphs, Shen Shuren himself is very familiar with it, and he relied on this story to sell it repeatedly a while ago to motivate the morale of the troops before the decisive battle. So when he said it again, he was as familiar as an entrepreneurial mentor, and the other party was stunned when he heard it.
After listening to it, Zhu Yuchan was also completely relieved, because she knew that as long as she found an opportunity to tell her father about these jokes, her father would never suspect that she was making up words to comfort him.
Father knew that with her knowledge and brain, she would definitely not be able to make up such a complex thing.
Therefore, as long as such a complicated and legendary joke comes out of Zhu Yuchan's mouth, it must have consulted others, and the authenticity of the news has been greatly strengthened.
At the same time, after Zhu Yuchan silently recited the lines several times in her heart, her understanding of Shen Shuren also deepened.
A little girl of this age is always easy to worship heroes, and after figuring out Shen Shuren's battle strategy and deeds, she said sincerely:
"Brother Shen, you are so powerful, not only are you both civil and military, but you are also an official with money, if the officials of this Ming Dynasty are like you, the world must be too peaceful."
For this kind of compliment, Shen Shuren naturally smiled and said nothing, he said everything he should have said, walked to the door of the weeping flower, turned around and asked Zhu Yuchan to stay, and he said goodbye and left.
However, at the moment when he turned around, Zhu Yuchan took his hand again and asked one more question: "Brother Shen...... My brother Fu Wang came to you, did you do anything bad? Don't lie to me. ”
Shen Shuren was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "What bad things can King Fu do?" ”

Zhu Yuchan tilted her head: "I don't know what bad things Brother Fu Wang can do, but I always feel that he will do bad things when he looks for you." Because he has been making friends with the officials and generals who rescued him with all kinds of politeness recently. Anyway, no matter what he tells you to do, you don't do it, okay? ”
Shen Shuren squatted down and touched Zhu Yuchan's hair: "What is in line with the laws of the imperial court, I should do it for others, so I will naturally do it." If you don't conform to the laws of the imperial court, you will naturally not do it, right?
Besides, don't you also 'befriend' me today, why do you always talk about the blessed king? ”
Zhu Yuchan couldn't tell him, so she was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "You came to the door!" Besides, when I asked you to do things, it was also to guard against others from doing bad things, and I didn't say what I wanted to do. ”
……
After Shen Shuren left, he naturally had other official business to worry about that night.
According to Shen Shuren's plan, he had to escort King Fu and others to the south in two days, first passing through Tongbai Mountain from Xinyang, and then going to Wuchang via Suihuang.
Then arrange a big ship in the Yangtze River in Wuchang, escort the kings all the way down the river to Anqing, and then transfer to the water to Hefei for settlement-
In fact, you can also go north from Xinyang to the Huai River, through Shou County from the water to Hefei, the distance is nearly 200 miles more than the Yangtze River, which is equivalent to saving the distance of crossing Tongbai Mountain and Yinghuo Mountain twice.
However, the Ming Dynasty forbade the vassal king to enter the three capitals for no reason, and Shou County was in Fengyang Mansion, which belonged to the boundary of the central capital. In comparison, a few hundred miles more on the Yangtze River is nothing.
As for Shen Shuren himself, he would not go to Hefei, so he personally escorted him only to Wuchang.
After arriving in Wuchang, he may spare a few days to take care of Huguang's internal affairs and inspect the various civil and financial constructions in the rear over the past six months, as well as the military industry and armaments.
While taking care of these things, by the way, he can also wait for the will of the imperial court in Wuchang, and once Chongzhen orders him to rescue Sichuan, or if there are other requests, he can also respond immediately.
Even the main force can leave Wuchang in advance and deploy westward, and the required military rations can also be assembled in the Yiling area in advance.
……
The words are divided into two ends.
While Shen Shuren was busy with the follow-up itinerary, at dinner time that night, in the temporary Luwang Mansion, Zhu Changshu and Zhu Yuchan were happy again, and the group sat down and had dinner together.
Different from noon, there were a few more female relatives at the banquet in the evening, including Zhu Changshu's side concubine, Zhu Yuchan's biological mother Sun, and several other concubines who were favored by Zhu Changshu but did not have the status of side concubine.
Zhu Changshu's concubine Wu did not leave adult children, and only gave birth to a child who died prematurely in her early years, and then she was depressed, and died of dystocia when she was pregnant for the second time.
The Sun family originally did not have a high status, but it was because she gave birth to the only surviving daughter to Zhu Changshu, so her mother was a noble woman and raised her status.
The other concubines had no queen, and Zhu Changshu naturally didn't bother to carry them. When eating, those concubines who don't have concubine numbers can only stand and serve first, help take care of the dishes, and take care of them almost, Zhu Changshu or Sun let them sit so that they can sit down and eat.

Now that Zhu Changshu is thirty-four or five years old, his desire has decreased slightly compared to when he was in his twenties, and he is diligent in worshipping the Buddha, and the opportunities for the concubines to be pampered and proud are becoming less and less.
The dishes for dinner are not much better than lunch, and Zhu Changshu himself is still like noon, only vegetarian. A few young concubines next to them are also hungry for meat, but the prince is only a vegetarian, and they can only endure it in order to invite pets, and try to pretend that their living habits and hobbies are the same as those of the prince.
Sun Shi saw all this, and sighed, she was not from a rich background, and she didn't have too much jealousy, so she persuaded: "Lord, these days of wandering, it's also hard, it's time to make up more, even if you worship the Buddha, it's good to eat a few pieces of meat, wine and meat through the intestines, do you keep the Buddha in mind." ”
Zhu Changshu was a little disgusted: "What do you say! Lonely is just a bumpy journey, unaccustomed to water and soil, and unable to eat meat. ”
Sun was robbed, and he didn't know how to say it, so he could only keep his mouth shut.
But Zhu Yuchan knows her father better than her mother, she is mainly a girl, she usually sneaks and hides in the house, and no one cares about her, she can always overhear more private words from her parents.
So Zhu Yuchan opened her mouth and persuaded: "Father, I know what you are worried about, in fact, there is nothing to worry about, this time Shen Futai and Huang Zongbing rescued us to break through, it was originally a convenient one, and it was not a battle for us."
In the afternoon, I asked Brother Shen and asked him to tell a lot of stories about the battle in Chen County, and he really designed it so that the people of Henan would suffer less and beat the thieves away as soon as possible. And there are not many people dying to save us. ”
This sentence can be regarded as hitting Zhu Changshu's heart disease in the past few days, his face is not pale, his lips are no longer trembling, he just looks at his daughter in surprise:
"You little girl, how do you know this? You asked Shen Futai and answered? Can you understand? It can't be a lonely one. ”
Zhu Yuchan proudly sold the things she asked in the afternoon, and her acting skills were a little more exaggerated than Shen Shuren herself, and she quickly made everyone laugh, but no one felt that it was inappropriate.
A fifteen-year-old girl, who speaks a little funny and exaggerated, everyone will only think that it is childlike and jumpy.
Zhu Changshu's old face turned red, and she asked her how she knew that she was sick, and Zhu Yuchan told her about overhearing her father chanting Buddha, and Zhu Changshu was relieved.
However, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. The conversation between father and daughter was originally to relieve Zhu Changshu of his heart and let him know that saving them did not kill many more officers and soldiers.
But the Sun family and the others next to him didn't focus on those boring military affairs, and Sun's ears were almost pricked up when they heard their daughter mention the words "Brother Shen".
After her husband and daughter finished talking about business, Sun couldn't hold back the gossip all night. After the dinner was over, she pulled her husband aside and repeatedly asked about the foreign affairs during the day, especially how her daughter had seen the men outside.
Zhu Changshu couldn't be entangled by the concubine, so he had to tell the cause and effect.
Sun was originally a person with eyes above the top, and he always felt that he had given birth to the daughter of the prince, so it would be cost-effective to marry a top talent in the future.
But after listening to her husband explain Shen Shuren's talent and official position, and also said that Shen Shuren was unmarried, she immediately stopped questioning the man's hardware conditions at all.

At this level, he is still the life-saving benefactor of the palace, which is simply too suitable.
"Then Shen Futai is only twenty-two years old? That's seven years older than Chan'er, and she's always a little older, but at twenty-two, you'll be able to Futai, and I'm afraid I can't find a second one in the whole world. How does this little Shen look? Handsome or not? ”
Zhu Changshu was annoyed: "It's okay, it's tall and strong, and the people are very white." ”
Sun's brain made up for a moment, his eyes rolled, and he immediately pestered her husband: "Lord Wang, since the other party is so capable and good-looking, then you should find a way to hint and let the Shen family come to our house to propose marriage."
Chan'er is also fifteen years old, and after another year and a half of brewing, she can get married. And no matter what the reason is, he can be regarded as bumping into Chan'er today, how can the county lord of the palace casually let the men outside see it?
Since I was a child, except for you, only the eunuchs have seen Chan'er's face, and the men outside can't see it. Since he also saw Chan'er, he should dare to act! ”
Under the feudal etiquette at the end of the Ming Dynasty, a girl in the boudoir was seen by a man outside, and forced the other party to marry her, which is not uncommon. Although the reason is a bit strange, it is reasonable.
Zhu Changshu was speechless for a while, although he was not very disgusted with this arrangement, and even he himself had this idea. But he knew the laws of the court better than Sun, so he said anxiously:
"This Shen Shuren has long been targeted by the daughters of many supervising people, and when he talks to him today, he can hear it inside and outside the words! He was afraid that His Majesty would suspect him of his personal business, so he has been delaying until now, otherwise where will it be our turn?
We are also relatives of the emperor, this kind of thing, without the permission of His Majesty's will, how can we make a mistake? It's still this kind of difficult autumn, I don't know how many people will chew their tongues! ”
Sun didn't follow, she just had this one daughter, so she said unyieldingly: "Then the prince will play for Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to marry, the prince has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and Your Majesty also knows."
How can there be a reason for an uncle to marry a cousin and be a nephew? If King Fu has a daughter to marry, Your Majesty may still be suspicious, what is there to be suspicious about in our family?
It's really not good, you just write it clearly in the book, just say that Shen Futai is our family's life-saving benefactor, in the chaos of the war, Chan'er accidentally got separated and was seen by him, and he escorted him. Chan'er wants to repay him for saving his life, and she has to be full of names before she pushes the boat down the river, isn't this done? If Your Majesty even stops this, won't it ruin your own sister's reputation? ”
Zhu Changshu was pestered, but it was not unreasonable to listen to his wife's words, sure enough, a married woman's talent in finding an excuse for a blind date in the family is far from being comparable to a man and a little girl.
Sun's slight pull made Zhu Changshu, who couldn't resist it, so he had to immediately write a letter to the emperor's nephew.
After writing it, he was still a little reluctant to hold the letter: "That's it, I'll listen to you once, if Your Majesty refuses to give marriage, then you won't mention this matter - will it be faster?" Chan'er only saw that Shen Shuren for the first time today. ”
Sun Shi Jiao: "Hurry up, what's fast!" Ninety percent of the people in the world are still blindly married and dumb marriages, and there are many people who have never seen it in front of the cave room. Chan'er can at least chat warmly with Shen Futai, so she doesn't hate him, which can be regarded as blessed. Listening to you say that Shen Shuren's conditions, you can't grab it if you are slow! ”

Zhu Changshu sighed, and said the last bit of unwillingness in his heart: "People like us, where do we still need to marry a daughter to make a man prosperous and rich?" As long as it's good to Chan'er, everything is enough.
We originally wanted to find a son-in-law, but we have no children, so in the future, we will always let Chan'er's children pass the surname Zhu, and it is best that the son-in-law can change his surname to Zhu.
Now you have to find this kind of same high-ranking family, although his father Shen Shangshu has several sons, and the others are still young, but it is estimated that he will definitely refuse to let Shen Futai change his surname to Zhu, and he will be thankful that the child he and Chan'er will have in the future will be surnamed Zhu. ”
Sun was reminded by her husband and was also aware of this problem, but she didn't stop doing it, and instigated: "This matter can be discussed again, now the eight characters have not been skimmed, no matter what, find a way to let Your Majesty give marriage first."
After the marriage, there is a chance to put forward the conditions again, we have the surname of the Ming Dynasty, and the surname of the foreigner is Zhu, which is a matter of glory and glory, how many heroes have been given the surname of the emperor since ancient times? When Li Ke was given the surname Li by the Emperor of the Hall, he didn't feel ashamed to see them.
It's a big deal, let's just say that this Zhu is the national surname given by His Majesty because of his merits, let alone being a son-in-law, won't it save the face of the Shen family? If you still feel wronged, taking advantage of such military merits this time, you will definitely give him a promotion to a knighthood, give him more titles, and have face. ”

PS: I heard that during the limited exemption period, in fact, the latest chapters are not limited to free ...... Then let's have a big chapter of more than 6,000 words today.
In fact, it's the same as usual, but it's too lazy to dismantle. This chapter is 6,500 words.
