Chapter 37: This Bastard
"It's not a gentleman yet, hopeless......"
Hearing the muttering of the good grandson, even if Jia's mother doted on Baoyu, she changed color at this moment.
"Baoyu, don't talk nonsense!" Jia Mu reprimanded with a straight face.
This was the first time that Jia's mother scolded Baoyu, which surprised several sisters present, and Baoyu herself felt very aggrieved.
Although she was distressed, Mother Jia still educated with a straight face: "The thirteenth master is the heir of the saint, how can his subordinates discuss it in vain?" ”
There are a lot of people in the capital who talk about Zhu Jinghong in private, but no one dares to belittle it openly, and Jinyi Weidong Factory is not a joke.
Mother Jia knew Baoyu's temperament, for fear that he wouldn't listen to it, so she told her a few words repeatedly.
After Baoyu repeatedly assured her, Jia Mu was a little relieved and motioned for Tanchun to continue.
"After Brother Xue was beaten, he was sent to Yingtianfu by the Thirteenth Master, and as a result, Brother Xue's relationship came out on the same day!"
Hearing this, Jia Mu asked: "Those officials in Yingtian are stupid, and they dare to let go of the people arrested by the Thirteenth Master?" ”
Compared with Mrs. Wang, Jia Mu's insight is undoubtedly much broader, and she knows the seriousness of the incident very well.
The royal children are rampant, especially this thirteenth master is still the prince, who can stand it if he wants to make trouble?
"This granddaughter doesn't know, I only heard that the thirteenth master led the troops to break into the Xue family, and turned the Xue family upside down, and now the Xue family seems to be forced to ......"
The Xue family is in trouble, and it is likely that the Jia family will be implicated, but no one has come to tell him, which makes Jia's mother angry.
So without waiting for Tanchun to finish speaking, he listened to Jia's mother's instructions: "Go...... Call your lord! ”
At this time, Jia's mother didn't have the heart to laugh with her granddaughter, so she ordered someone to hurriedly pass the meal and told them to rest early after eating.
After a while, Mrs. Wang came, and Mother Jia led her to the back hall for questioning, and Baoyu and the others dispersed after eating.
"Sister Lin, I wrote a poem these days, do you want to go and see it?" Jia Baoyu caught up with Lin Daiyu and asked.
Lin Daiyu stopped and said with a smile: "The poems of the second brother are naturally good, but the little sister is only a shallow learner, I'm afraid I can't understand it!" ”
Holding Daiyu together, Baoyu said: "If you are only a shallow learner, I'm afraid no one in the world can be called full of learning!" ”
After walking a few steps, Daiyu suddenly asked, "Second brother, you have memorized all the books that your uncle asked you to read!" ”
Baoyu, who was originally quite happy, suddenly had a bitter face when he heard this, and he really didn't have much interest in him in the Four Books and Five Classics.
"If my uncle asks, why don't my second brother present the poems to my uncle for tasting, I think that with the talent of my second brother, my uncle will be satisfied with it!" Daiyu was smiling, and her beautiful eyes were full of banter.
Jia Baoyu was sad, and suddenly saw Daiyu smiling, and immediately realized that her good sister was playing tricks on herself.
"Okay, Sister Lin, you've learned badly......

Nightfall, Imperial City, Forbidden.
In the Qianqing Palace, the lights are bright.
In the main hall, there are more than a dozen tables, and more than 20 little eunuchs are fiddling with abacus, and the scene echoes with a crackling sound.
Beside each of them lay a large wooden chest containing a large number of books.
It is difficult for outsiders to imagine that in the palace of the emperor of the Ming Empire, there would be such a scene.
In the attic on the west side of the dormitory, a man dressed in a gray moire shirt with a gray moire and a gray beard mixed with gray hair was lying on a rocking chair reading a book.
There is no doubt that this is the master of the Eastern world, the fifteenth emperor of the Ming Empire, the orthodox emperor Zhu Xianming.
The orthodox emperor is forty-nine this year, although he has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but his expression is resolute and majestic, and the whole person is like a sword out of the sheath, and the cold light makes people tremble.
The sound of crackling accounts below made Zhu Xianming really unable to read the book, and finally he threw the book on the coffee table and turned his head to check the progress below.
He had to send someone to account for every account reported by the household department, just because he couldn't trust those officials.
As an emperor with "extraordinary experience", Zhu Xianming has a hard time believing in people in this world, even his own son.
Just when Zhu Xianming was thinking about whether it was time to read in a different place, there was the sound of footsteps in the attic.
"Your Majesty, Jinling Jinyiwei has sent back a report!"
Zhu Xianming got up from the recliner with the momentum, reached out and took the envelope from the eunuch's hand, tore open the seal and pulled out the report inside.
It is fifteen or six hundred miles from Jinling to Luoyang, and it takes about three to four days to deliver the letter, and the letter at this moment is written three days ago.
Before Zhu Xianming finished reading the report, he heard him scold angrily: "Old thirteen...... This bastard thing! ”
Two days ago, it was mentioned in the report that Zhu Jinghong took people to play outside the palace, and Zhu Xianming didn't take it too seriously.
Later, Zhu Jinghong angrily scolded the officials, in Zhu Xianming's opinion, he was doing Zhu Jingyuan a favor, and he also turned a blind eye to it.
But he knew that his rebel son was getting more and more out of line, and he actually did the thing of leading troops to break into his private residence.
When Zhu Xianming was in a hurry, the little eunuchs who were waiting around him immediately knelt down, trembling as if they were on the edge of the abyss.
And the people who settled the accounts at the bottom were even more silent and did not dare to move, for fear of making a noise and attracting the emperor's anger.
Zhu Xianming scolded a sentence, so that the entire hall was forbidden for time.
"It was quite lively just now, why is it suddenly silent!"
At this moment, a gentle voice came from outside, which suddenly made everyone in the hall look forward to a savior.
After a while, I saw a woman over forty years old, accompanied by several palace maids, walking into the main hall.
Although the woman is not young, she can vaguely see that she is a great beauty when she is young.
At this moment, although he is dressed plainly, he has an indescribable extravagance, but with an affinity, which makes people see it like a spring breeze.
At this time, there is nothing to care about in the main hall, and there is only Zhu Xianming's Yuan and wife, and now the queen of the middle palace of the Ming Dynasty.
"Where is Your Majesty?"
Everyone trembled and didn't dare to answer, but the foreman and eunuch quietly glanced upstairs, and Yang Qingyin understood.
So she looked upstairs, but saw her husband with his back to her, and he was looking through the newspaper.
"What should you do, what should you do!" Yang Qingyin said calmly.
With her words, everyone in the hall felt a lot more at ease, and then resumed their busyness.
And Yang Qingyin took a few palace maids into the inner hall and walked up the stairs to the opposite side of Zhu Xianming.
"Your Majesty, who made you angry again?" Yang Qingyin asked suspiciously.
Zhu Xianming was furious, and said coldly: "Who else can there be, of course it is the good son you born!" ”
"What's wrong with the fourth?"
"It's the old thirteen!" Zhu Xianming's tone became more and more unkind.
"This bastard, left Beijing and no one to take care of him, and when he got to Yingtian, he just lost my face!"
After receiving the report from Zhu Xianming's hand, Yang Qingyin read it carefully, and saw that her son had fully recovered, and her heart finally fell.
"The child is just messing around, and nothing happened, why are you making a fuss!"
It is said that the royal family loves the eldest son, but for Yang Qingyin, the most favored is the youngest son, after all, he was raised by himself.
I only heard Yang Qingyin continue: "What's more, the thirteenth is also to help the fourth, and the brothers, friends, and brothers are worthy of praise!" ”
"Compliments? You're confused, aren't you? "Zhu Xianming didn't have a good airway.
Who knew that Yang Qingyin said coldly: "I'm old, but I'm not confused!" ”
At this moment, she was also aroused, and sat directly on the rocking chair on the side, making Zhu Xianming have no place to sit.
"What do you mean by sending the fourth child to Jinling?"
can be a ruthless queen like Zhu Xianming, Yang Qingyin is not an ordinary woman, she has seen everything inside and outside the court thoroughly, including Zhu Xianming's thoughts.
"He was already weak, and he made him tired all the way, with you being a father?" Yang Qingyin asked in a cold voice.
These words have been held back in her heart for a long time, and today she finally found a chance to say it.
Zhu Xianming never imagined that he had just trained his youngest son, and his wife would take advantage of the topic to play.
The emperor and queen quarreled, wouldn't they be laughed at by others?
"All out!"
Zhu Xianming spoke, and all the palace maids and eunuchs inside and outside the hall all retired and left at this moment.
In the huge palace, only the emperor and queen are left.
