Chapter 231: Dry bones in the grave, lingering love words
Although Zhang Shou did point out a way, the second prince couldn't trust him at all, and he was unwilling, and he didn't dare to bet on his father's trust in him, so he decided to break the kettle and gamble on his efforts by the eldest prince's side for many years. After all, they have a common mother, and they have something in common in their staff.
Of course, the second prince knew that it seemed easier to get things from Zhang Shou and the others, but in the case that he had already alarmed Yin Wangjie of Shuntian Mansion, it was too easy to alarm his father and emperor if he went to Zhang Shou's side, so he could only choose to fill it with human life and open a breakthrough from the eldest prince.
However, after more than ten days of hard work, he came and went, and seven or eight dead soldiers around him died, but nothing was found. Not only that, but the second prince also got five fingers from the eldest prince, and a bloody note was attached to the box - what enters my hand is difficult for ghosts and gods to invade!
This arrogant note was so angry that the second prince smashed the study directly. He didn't understand that the eldest prince was not talking about the textile machine at all, but alluding to the East Palace that the two had been wrestling for, and even the future throne!
The clearer he became, the more angry he became, the more unwilling he became, and after thinking about it, he even wanted to go over to the queen for help, but in the end he dismissed the idea. After all, he had seen it very clearly that his mother was still more inclined to his eldest brother than to him. Because he is the eldest son of the rightful son, he is the biggest hit in the East Palace.
But the anger in his heart became more and more difficult to eliminate, and Wang Jie interrogated the guards in his mansion again and again, so that everyone was in danger, and some people even talked behind their backs about when the Shuntian Mansion Yin would selflessly bring him, the second prince, to the Shuntian Mansion. Although the second prince was angry when he heard this, he beat people to death, but the result was that things were out of control.
In the panic, some people thought that instead of trembling day and night, it was better to fight hard, and they directly sent the matter of the second prince's cane to death to the slave and maid to the Shuntian Mansion! At this moment, the second prince, who was already entangled in lawsuits, became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him, especially the eldest prince who stood up and openly accused the second prince of being arrogant and tyrannical and tarnishing the virtue of the royal family.
In the old system of Taizu, slaves and maids who betrayed their masters, bullied their superiors, abused their subordinates, harassed the people, and committed adultery were heinous, and their masters could kill them all. In addition, whoever kills a slave for trivial matters shall have his sin reduced to one degree, and forty rods, and shall not be allowed to pay for himself with a fine.
Seeing that the second prince himself had lost his mind and committed two major crimes one after another, the officials of the court, who were not accustomed to the second prince, naturally attacked in groups, and many of them were Qingliu who abided by the etiquette and law and decided that he should be established. Seeing the wind and rain, even if the emperor did not summon the second prince, he did not fall, but the once glamorous courtyard was full of birds.
If it weren't for the slave who ran to the Shuntian Mansion and didn't escape the fall of Yin Wangjie of the Iron Mask Mansion, because of the accusation of the master, the forty rods were so dead and almost killed, and the others would have been scattered like birds and beasts, who would be impatient to serve a second prince who not only has no hope of entering the East Palace, but may also be re-sent at any time, and even a rich idler can't do it?
And at this time of rebellion and separation, the second prince was let out. Not only did he not stay in the mansion and think about it, but he traveled with his entourage every day. Although it is not enough to abandon himself to molest the people on the street and oppress the people, everywhere he goes, everyone still avoids it, just like a tiger and wolf crossing the border. As he went back and forth, he became more and more resentful.
However, on this day, as usual, he crashed into a bad star in the street - more precisely, a bad star and a nemesis. It turned out to be Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou!
Because it was already the twentieth day of the lunar month in a blink of an eye, and when the Guozijian was on holiday at the end of the year, most of the prisoners went home, and it was said that the Northern Expeditionary Army was about to return to the court, and Zhu Ying, who was extremely happy, took Zhang Shou to go shopping to buy New Year's goods, and brought them to his father and brother who were about to come back to buy New Year's gifts. The two of them and the entourage who followed behind also didn't expect to meet the second prince so coincidentally.
When the enemies saw each other, their eyes were red, these words were originally the absolute truth for the second prince, but now that they saw Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou, the first reaction of the second prince was not to provoke, but to turn the horse and leave, avoiding these two guys who could not be provoked.
He is in trouble now, but as long as he doesn't provoke Zhu Ying, who has always been favored by his father, and as long as he doesn't provoke Zhang Shou, who is valued by his father recently, he thinks that he can enjoy the unscrupulous years for a while.
However, when she found that the second prince avoided herself like a snake and scorpion, Zhu Ying was not satisfied. She took a deep breath and shouted, "Stop! Have you made any harmful things again, otherwise what would you do to hide from us! β
The second prince had already galloped out of the horse for more than a dozen steps, and when he heard this, he almost lost his breath and blew his lungs, and immediately didn't want to turn his horse's head back, and his already listless entourage couldn't help but be stunned in the face of this unexpected scene.
"Zhu Ying, don't think that if I let you all the time, you can be presumptuous in front of me!" The second prince used a horsewhip to point Zhu Ying, the expression on his face seemed to be resentful, and as if he was angry, but only he knew that he was clearly a little nervous at this time. However, if Zhu Ying still refuses to back down, even if he is now embattled, he is not willing to give in.
Seeing Zhu Yingliu's eyebrows raised, her beautiful eyes were angry, and she was about to sneer at each other, but Zhang Shou suddenly coughed, and then pulled Zhu Ying back: "Yingying, why bother to mess with him?" When the break continues, but it falls deeper and deeper, and in the long run, even if it lasts for a long time, it is just a dry bone in the grave. β
Zhu Ying suddenly turned her anger into joy, and nodded again and again: "Ah Shou, you are right, we are visiting ours, what does he have to do with us?" Wang Dayin had already said before that if he caught the second prince and disturbed the people again, he would come to the door in person! β
The second prince listened to Zhu Ying's words, and suddenly his heart chuckled, and the anger that was scolded by Zhang Shou as a dry bone in the mound disappeared for a while, and he was thinking more about Zhang Shou's sentence in his heart, 'When it is interrupted, but it is getting deeper and deeper'. When he figured out the profound meaning of Zhang Shou's words, and then looked up, where were the two of them and the retinue of the Zhu family?
And Zhu Ying, who had gone away, took Zhang Shou to visit two antique shops in a row, and saw that Zhang Shou was just uh-huh-hmm, and she couldn't put forward any constructive suggestions about the gifts she wanted to buy for her father and brother, and she was a little unhappy when she had left the second prince behind.
At this time, when she walked out of the antique shop, she said sullenly: "My father and eldest brother haven't seen you yet, I brought you here to pick a gift, I want to tell you what they like!" They're not my grandmother and my mother, so what if they don't like you? β
Of course, Zhang Shou understood the deep meaning of the eldest lady, and immediately smiled: "It has always been the mother-in-law who looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the happier she becomes, and the more she looks at her son-in-law, the more she hates it." As for the eldest brother and brother-in-law, ten out of ten can't get used to their brother-in-law or brother-in-law. So, Yingying, instead of helping me please them in this way, you might as well find another way. β
Hearing that Zhang Shou was frank and frank with words such as son-in-law, brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and even said the titles of mother-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, and uncle Weng so naturally, Zhu Ying was happy and worried.
The good thing is that although she was more active at first, judging from Zhang Shou's attitude towards her now, it is obvious that she also has affection for her. The worry is that her father has set this family business for her early on, but he has never mentioned it to her before, even if he invited Ge Yong as a teacher for Zhang Shou, but after Ge Yong came back, his father seemed to ignore people, and the eldest brother was meticulous......
Thinking of this, worried that her father and brother would really dislike Zhang Shou, Zhu Ying immediately asked, "How can you find another way?" β
Zhang Shou looked at this eager girl with a smile, and said slowly: "As long as you have the determination to not marry, you can do it." β
"Huh?" Zhu Ying couldn't help but widen her eyes, as generous as her, but at this time her face was delicate and unbelievable, until she found that Zhang Shou looked at her without the slightest banter, and the shame that came to her heart immediately disappeared, replaced by deep joy, and immediately smiled and said, "Okay, Ah Shou, you can marry me home quickly!" β
"Ahem...... cough cough ......"
Zhang Shou couldn't help but choke on Miss Zhu's straightforward love words, this girl actually said his confession first! Shouldn't this kind of life event be the first thing a man says to marry me? He glanced at the guards of the Zhao Guogong Mansion who were also stunned at the door of the store, and deeply realized what kind of existence the girl beside him was.
Seeing that Zhu Yingda had an expression that if you don't agree to me, I won't leave, Zhang Shou couldn't help but take a breath lightly, and then said in a low voice: "Silly girl, who else can you marry me if you don't marry?" However, we will only be seventeen after the New Year, and you will wait for me for a few more months. β
Zhu Ying suddenly raised her eyebrows, and she was a little annoyed: "Why wait a few more months?" Wait for my father and eldest brother to come back, won't that be fine? β
"Because marrying you is a big deal." Zhang Shou smiled and tightened the big red gorilla felt for Zhu Ying, and then said in a deep voice, "You can't let people laugh at you, the eldest lady of Zhao Guogong's Mansion has a high eye on weekdays, but she chooses thousands of choices, but in the end she marries a poor man from a poor family and has nothing......"
"As long as I like it, my father, grandmother, eldest brother and second brother can accept it, and I don't care what other people say!"
Zhu Ying's answer was still crisp and direct, Zhang Shou listened to it in his ears, and his heart was naturally happy and ironed, but in the end, he still smiled slightly: "You don't care, but I have a small heart, but I care about people's words." Even if it can't give you good, at least it can't make your life too far worse than before...... Let's go, I'll take you to see something. β
Zhu Hong, who was on the side, saw that Zhang Shou pulled Zhu Ying to get on the horse, and he hurriedly beckoned those guards to follow, but he couldn't help but think about the shocking conversation between the fiancΓ©e just now.
Zhu Ying's words can simply scare those Taoist gentlemen to death, but Zhang Shou's words can make those gentlemen who want noble wives but pretend to be high to death...... It's just that if you want Zhu Ying to live no worse than the life before marriage, it's really too difficult, you know, Zhu Ying has not only been rich since she was a child, but Mrs. Tai and Grandpa Guo are simply spoiled in the palm of their hands as if they were the top of their hearts!
When Zhang Shou took Zhu Ying to visit his "R&D base", the second prince had no interest in wandering and hurriedly returned to his other courtyard. He ordered everyone to prepare to enter the palace with him, and he hurried back to his room, and when he came out, the followers who dared not speak out against him were suddenly struck by lightning one by one.
The second prince, who has always been open-toothed and clawed, impulsive and tyrannical, and refuses to admit his mistakes, is now wearing a cloth robe?
If it weren't for the shirtless and then draped in thorns, it would be too conspicuous, and it would be too much, and the second prince would even be willing to put his heart sideways and ask for guilt. It's just that now looking at the stupidity of the people below, he knows that it is enough to do this. At that moment, he said with a gloomy face: "What are you doing in a daze? Drive, take me to the palace! β
Although he prefers to gallop horses on weekdays, instead of staying in the car and isolating himself from the outside world like the eldest prince, even if he has other plans for such a dress today, the second prince is afraid of being laughed at, so of course he refuses to swagger through the market like this. But even if he was in the car, when he got off the bus at Donghua Gate, he still attracted a lot of attention.
He only felt that these guys who had seen it were laughing at him, and he wanted to pick out those eyeballs, but at this time, he could only ignore these people and hurry to the palace. When he finally came to Qianqingmen and claimed that he had something important to ask to see his father, he saw several guards looking at each other for a while, and finally one of them went to report it, and the rest only smiled and did not speak.
Although he knew that the people in the Qianqing Palace were different from the Kunning Palace, and there were few people who scolded him in the past, but now that the second prince was the most sensitive, he naturally became more and more angry. But who would have thought that after the guard who went to report came out, he respectfully said a hard sentence: "Second prince, please go back, the emperor said, there are many things at hand, and I will see you again when I have time to go back." β
The second prince was so angry that he didn't go crazy. He can't see his father as a son? It's not as good as those ministers!
He raised his voice and said word by word: "If you go to report it again, you will say that I have 100,000 urgent matters to report to my father!" β
The guard suddenly looked embarrassed: "Second prince, the emperor said that there are several reports of the Northern Expeditionary Army waiting to be considered, and I really don't have time to see you......"
In fact, the emperor's words were more straightforward: "He came to see me in a cloth robe, and he wanted to offset the previous careless and reckless deeds?" Don't dream about it, if you have this kung fu to come to me to act, you might as well think about the future! β
How did the second prince know, just what others said, he already took care of his fragile mood. All he knew was that his anger could burn down the entire palace! endured and endured, he finally chose to give in, and actually knelt down so straight and straight with his knees directly bent his knees.
"Today I ask to see my father, it is indeed a major event for the country and the people, if my father doesn't see me, I will kneel here and die!"
When the emperor heard the news carefully reported by Liu Feng, the steward of the Qianqing Palace, he couldn't help but angrily drop the notebook in his hand, and said impatiently: "If he really knows how to admit his mistakes, why wait until today?" This is being forced to the end of the road, so it is broken! Let him kneel, if he can really kneel for half an hour, I will hear what he has to say! β
