Chapter 481: When the sky falls, someone has to hold it up

Until the curtain was raised and he entered the main house, Du Juan was still secretly wondering. Zhu Ning's mind is not difficult to guess, King Zhou has been in Beijing for more than half a year, which is conspicuous enough, the Zhang family is now an eventful season, and her own father is still in prison, so she doesn't feel strange that this little county lord hasn't come to her for several days. Stepping into the east house, she saw Zhu Ning, who was dressed in a crane, sitting on the east side of the kang with her back to her, so she smiled and said hello.

"Why does Sister Ning have time to come over today? It's so hot in this room, and you don't take off your coat and talk! ”

"You're finally here, I'm in a mess of things, where can I take care of this!"

Hearing this, Zhu Ning came back from his stunned and hurriedly got up to greet him, but he couldn't smile. It wasn't until Qiu Zhen said that she was going to the kitchen and ordered a good cup of tea to be turned on and hurried out of the house, that she made a long story short. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Du Juan standing there in a daze, as if her whole person was wooden. In a panic, she hurriedly helped her to sit down, and screamed twice in a row, until the person was relieved.

Although her mother taught her to be generous when she was a child, although Mr. Shen Zao said that she should not be surprised in everything, and not long after following her father, she was exposed to a little tenacity that the sky fell and she had to carry it to death, but first her father was imprisoned, and then her husband was besieged, and she couldn't resist the double sense of oppression. Taking a deep breath, she pinched her right hand again, and then she felt the tingling in her heart lighten.

"Thank you Sister Ning, there are many things at home now, so I have to take care of this matter more."

Zhu Ning looked at Du Juan worriedly, seeing that his face was pale, she couldn't help but reach out and hold the tightly twisted hands, and as soon as she started her hand, she found that it was as cold as an ice cube. Although she just wanted Du Juan to be more prepared, she really couldn't bear it at this moment, so she whispered: "Although this news was sent by eight hundred miles in an urgent manner, it can be delayed from yesterday afternoon to now, and now there should be a new military report, if you hear it, I will let Mother Ying tell you." ”

Although I wanted to say that this was an urgent military situation and not to take the risk of inquiring, my concern for my husband finally prevailed, and finally I nodded lightly. Seeing that Zhu Ning actually stood up and was about to leave, she hurriedly said, "Don't be in such a hurry, since you are here, sit for a while." Now you can't come often, and I can't go often, so it's hard for us to see each other once! ”

Thinking that he had to force a smile in front of Zhu Di all day long, to deal with those flowery concubines, and to deal with those eunuchs who were low-eyed but unpredictable, Zhu Ning couldn't help but take back the steps he had taken. Returning to the kang and sitting down, she said helplessly: "That's right, Zhang Yue is okay, once he is not there, even if these people in the Zhang family are good to you, some things are not good to say to them." Xiao Wu, this girl is of course pure, but she is ignorant of the world, and it is not good for you to disturb her mood with those troubles. I'm the same, no matter how good my father is, there are some things I can't say. ”

The two ice and snow smart women looked at each other for a while, and then smiled bitterly at the same time. One is in the emperor's family, sandwiched between imperial power and family affection; From a scholarly family to a Qimen Zhu household, he is always faced with the prosperity and decline of the family. Although the Tao is different, Daniel is the same. Although Zhu Ning was left, Du Juan didn't know what to say, so he simply got up and took the chessboard and two boxes of chess pieces, and put them on the kang table.

Although he doesn't like to play chess like his father, after all, he has been exposed to it and has a close friend like Du Juan who loves this thing the most, so Zhu Ning's chess skills are naturally not weak. It's just that at this time, her mind is not on this at all, while responding casually, while talking about some gossip, as the game deepens, the heavy feeling just now gradually eased a lot, and she found that Du Juan's originally pale face was also a little more bloody, and her heart suddenly understood.

Sure enough, it's still this dead temper, just by playing chess to stabilize the mood, and I'm still going to die in front of people later!

"Juan'er, it's usually usual, but now it's now. Even if your family is in a mess right now, you don't want to hold it in your heart alone, and you can always feel relieved when you find someone to confide in. I think Lingxi's girl is very good, she knows the general situation and knows the advance and retreat, and in the end she is the person who was adjusted by your old lady. After all, she was given to Zhang Yue by your old lady, it is better for you to hide it alone, even if you can't think of a way, it is better to have someone to share it. ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly heard a crisp bell sound outside, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Du Juan naturally knew what this noble daughter was thinking, so he explained: "This is the idea that Amber came up with, to put brass bells under the door curtain, so that there is a sound when entering and exiting, so as not to scare people silently." ”

"Your girls are more than a ghost, and that autumn mark has no heart, or dead eyes!"

Qiu Zhen, who was bending over to come in, happened to hear this, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he went up with the tea tray and placed two cups of tea on the boxy kang table. Amber at the back let the nurse who was holding Jingguan come in first, and then entered the house, and after saluting, she pursed her lips and smiled: "I didn't expect that the county lord also knows us very well." ”

"Wan'er married your young master, can I not know your temperament?"

Responding casually, Zhu Ning glanced at the chess game and understood that he must have lost this game. Clapped her hands and jumped off the kang, she picked up the bowl of tea and took a sip, and then said to Amber and Qiuji: "Your young master is not here, and there is one thing left and right at home, you can help a little more and watch a little, just wait for someone to come back." Later, I will tell the old lady for me, and say that she may not be in the mood now, and I am not convenient now, so I will not go to see her. ”

Although Zhu Ning brought a lot of bad news, since he was ready to hide it, Du Juan naturally didn't want to show any unusual emotions, and still sent people out as usual. When she arrived at the second gate, she took Zhu Ning's hand and wanted to say a few more words, but she saw that the door at the end of the wide main road was suddenly opened. Seeing that line of brightly colored guards rushing in, she couldn't help but shudder.

What are Jinyiwei doing here?

Although Zhang Yue was not there, Yuan Fang was still reluctant to wear such a swaggering official skin to the Zhang family, but who would have thought that the emperor's will would come so quickly, so that he didn't even have a little room for adaptation. When he saw two women standing at the door of the glazed tile hanging flowers on the big roof with the beast's kiss at both ends, he sighed secretly in his heart. Fortunately, Du Juan quickly avoided it with the two girls, but it was Zhu Ning who walked a few steps quickly to meet him.

Although Zhu Ning knew that Yuan Fang was a low-key person, since she was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, she didn't expect to produce any really good people. She greeted with a smile and was vigilant in her heart, but she didn't leave immediately, but asked casually: "Lord Yuan, you are coming to the door to scare many people, who are you looking for?" ”

"The county lord laughed, and the lower official was just ordered to summon Zhang Chao, the eldest son of Yang Wubo." Seeing that the little county lord in front of him was stunned for a moment, he turned around and ordered the brocade guards to retreat farther, and he said to Gao Quan, the housekeeper who had just trotted all the way over, "I won't go in, you go and inform your eldest young master to change his clothes quickly, the emperor is in a hurry." ”

When he saw Gao Quan lifting the hem of his robe and hurriedly running from next to Zhu Ning into the second gate, Yuan Fang stood on the side of the hanging flower gate, as if he was looking at his nose and nose. Even Zhu Ning, who had the heart to inquire about the inside story, faced with such a guy who was clearly incompatible with oil and salt, she finally gave up those small means, and smiled casually: "Since you are acting on orders, then I won't bother you." There is only one thing that I have to bother you to do a favor, you take care of Wan'er's father, if you come out in the future and lose half a pound of meat, I won't spare you! ”

Since Zhu Ning made this clear, Yuan Fang naturally didn't say anything, and when he saw this person go, he couldn't help but tilt his head and think about it, and a meaningful smile gradually appeared on his face. Zhang Yue's daughter-in-law is lucky to have such a confidant, but isn't this Zhang Yue's luck?

Not long after, Zhang Chao, who got the letter, changed into his official uniform and hurried out. He is a five-grade thousand households, but because he is an earl, he has a licensed tiger and leopard on his official uniform, and he looks extremely energetic against his tiger back and bear waist. However, although he had been mentally prepared since last night, he was still a little breathless in the face of the brocade guard who went straight to the door. After meeting Yuan Fang, even if he knew that he shouldn't ask, he couldn't ask anything, but he still opened his mouth in a ghostly way.

"Lord Yuan, the emperor summoned me for ......"

Regarding those things in the second room of the Zhang family, Yuan Fang was annoyed and annoyed in his heart. It is certainly inappropriate for Yang Wubo Zhang You to marry a Yi girl as the second room, but if the eldest lady in the family is not so careful, will it cause this one by one? Zhang Yue borrowed the channel of Jinyiwei to find Fang Shuixin and bring people back, he thought that the matter would end here, who knew that such a woman didn't know who she came into contact with when she was out of the house, and she didn't know what she shouldn't know, and she was even instigated to do such a thing.

Sighing that he had miscalculated, he interrupted Zhang Chao's words and said coldly: "Little uncle, you don't need to ask me, you will know when you see the emperor!" ”

Zhang Qi, who followed all the way out because he was not at ease, watched his eldest brother being taken away by Jinyiwei, and almost impulsively wanted to catch up, but because he was dragged by one arm by Zhao Fen, and his head had not completely lost his mind, he could barely restrain himself. When the people were completely out of sight, he turned around stiffly, and saw his mother, who was lost in spirit, standing behind him, and he only felt his heart twitch.

"Mother......

"I was the one who hurt him...... Why don't you take my ......"

Zhang Qi hurriedly turned around and went up to support his mother, who was looking demented, and led the person inside while persuading and half-dragging and half-dragging him. And the surrounding daughters-in-law saw the shrewd housewife become like this for the first time, but no one dared to gloat at this time, and even whispered without even whispering.

Everyone else left, seeing Li Yun standing motionless, Du Juan hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, seeing that she didn't seem to hear her own consolation at all, she couldn't help but look at the empty outer courtyard.

Zhang Chao and Zhang Yue are different, they have always been used to smooth sailing, there were good opportunities in the past, Zhang Yue recommended him once in front of the emperor, and he had a good father, so he had today. This trip to see the emperor, if the Son of Heaven is really angry and angry, he may survive? said a thousand ways and ten thousand, this time only he can help Zhang Chao.

Knowing that the emperor sent Jinyi Wei to summon Zhang Chao, Gu was extremely calm, and he didn't have the gaffe when he first learned the news yesterday. Seeing Dongfang's face that had completely lost her assertions, she instructed the two daughters-in-law in the second room to help her back into the house, and then coldly glanced at the people who had just been called to the house. There are nearly 200 people up and down the Zhang family, and no matter how capable the master is, he can't manage it, so many things have to rely on these old mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. And at the critical moment, we must also guard against these servants of the world.

Although he has not been concerned about housework for many years, at this time, the Gu family glanced at it, and the former majesty was not less than half a point: "From today onwards, all the access controls that communicate between the inner courtyard and the outside will be doubled, whether it is the master or the subordinate, if you want to send things outside to spread the news, if you have outsiders to see you, you have to report it first!" The people of the outer courtyard are not allowed to go out casually, except for the errands and purchases. Since this house has become an earl's palace, the number of regulations has increased, but this rule is becoming more and more unreasonable, and I am afraid that no one can even memorize the family rules. From now on, I will have a long memory, if you violate the family rules, it will be dealt with by family law! ”

Seeing that the crowd didn't dare to speak up, she said again: "The second daughter-in-law needs to recuperate now, and the first life should be taken care of by Brother Chao's daughter-in-law and Brother Qi's daughter-in-law first, and this family will temporarily let Brother Yue's daughter-in-law and Lingxi take care of it together, and what they said is what I said." ”

A group of daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law didn't expect the old lady to pass the eldest lady and directly let the third room owner, and they were stunned for a moment before they all agreed. It wasn't until the Gu family explained a few things one by one that they realized that the old lady was not old-hearted, so they didn't dare to have any second thoughts, and when they finished the order, they lowered their hands one by one and retreated.

After beating the people in the family, Gu Shi saw that Du Juan's face was full of surprise, so he called her over, but he just told her that she would rather be strict in everything than lenient, and instructed the Lingxi next to her to help more, and finally said: "It's not that I have to push out your young daughter-in-law, your eldest aunt is not suitable for the three disasters, and the super brother and daughter-in-law may not have that mood, and the brother-in-law is even more careless, so I have to ask you to take care of it more." Your father's matter has not yet come to a conclusion, and Brother Yue doesn't know what to do now, but when the sky falls, someone has to support it, so you can only be tired, if you can use it, it is not a big deal for me to get rid of this old bone. ”

Du Juan opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't mention Zhu Ning's intention at all, and gritted his teeth in response. Lingxi looked at Gu's appearance, and hurriedly instructed Bai Fang to go outside to urge the medicine, but he sensed some ominous meaning in his heart.
