Chapter 421: Not a sister is better than a sister, only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals

Chapter 420: Not a sister is better than a sister, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal

West Chang'an Street is close to the root of the imperial city, along the imperial city under three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, ordinary people often come and go in a hurry even if they pass here, therefore, the entourage of those officials who enter and exit the palace often choose to rest near the Xidan archway. Today, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to hundreds of officials to argue the noon gate, and there are more people waiting here.

Since there are many people, horses, and carriages, you can see the difference between each family at this time. Yang Rong, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, has a wealthy family and likes luxury, so it is his signature green mantle cloud head embroidered lion with car parked on the side; Yang Shiqi, who is also a university scholar, is much simpler, the black lacquered carriage is half-old but not new, and the coachman is just an old man; The carriages of several old scholars are also new and old, and as for those officials, there is either only one horseman leading the horse waiting, or only one servant leading the donkey.

However, among all the cars and horses, there is one car that stands out. It was a blue-topped red-haired chariot twice as tall as an ordinary carriage, although all kinds of gold and bronze decorations had been removed, however, the red curtain on the edge of the green pin gold luo and the red pin gold luo car enclosure were forbidden by the people, and there were four or five guards riding horses across the knife next to the car, so there were no other chariots and horses parked around. When the waiting family members in each house whispered, some of them snorted softly.

"I don't understand, do I? Even if the gold and copper Fei Zhai is removed, it is still Zhai Che! Only the princess of the county and the princess of the county can sit, except for the princess of Anyang, who else can sit in such a car? So don't look at it, that master is comparable to a princess, and she didn't look at the emperor because she even spared King Zhou Chitose easily? ”

Zhu Ning, who is the best saint in others' mouths, is sitting here at this moment, but his eyes have never left the best close friend in front of him. Seeing that Du Juan's face was not very good-looking, she complained in a low voice: "I said that I just brought Xiao Wu to take a look, you prefer to go on such a trip by yourself, I really don't dare to take you out without Zhai's car." Isn't this a sinister act, didn't the imperial grandson ask me to bring a letter to Zhang Yue? If you care, it's chaotic! ”

Since she couldn't wear her previous clothes after pregnancy, Du Juan was wearing an extremely loose large-sleeved round-neck shirt in lotus color. Zhu Ning's Zhai car is extremely spacious, but there are many people outside, and the curtains and curtains can only leave some gaps, so it is still a little stuffy in it. Hearing Zhu Ning say this at this time, she sighed softly, and then explained: "It's not that you care, it's messy, it's after I mentioned it to him according to what you said, and he said a few more words, and I figured it out." ”

"How ......"

"Of course, those officials will piggyback on the opening of the sea ban, but the main spearhead is the relocation of the capital. Among the people who supported the relocation of the capital at the beginning, the six Shangshu and the cabinet ministers were all occupied, it can be said that all of them were the emperor's humerus ministers, these people were high and powerful, but now they are being regarded as targets, do you think they will give up? So even if he stands up, but he is a big official, if he is isolated and helpless at that time, I am afraid that the emperor's heart will not only not be able to suppress it, but I am afraid that he will be even more angry. ”

Zhu Ning was born in a royal family, as long as Du Juan raised her head, she could understand the deep meaning, not to mention that Du Juan explained it very clearly at this time. At this moment, her face suddenly turned white, and her voice was a little unnatural.

"If anything, wouldn't it be a great sin for me this time?"

Seeing Zhu Ning's face full of guilt, Du Juan hurriedly grabbed her hand and pressed it gently: "The imperial grandson is thinking about the overall situation, and you are also kind, and he should have done this." After all, this is different from in Qingzhou, and it is also different from in Jiangnan, if dozens of officials are killed because of this, things will be out of control, so he knows the risk and will give it a try. If Daddy had advised on the relocation of the capital at the beginning, he would definitely stand up among those who stayed behind...... At this time, we can only hope that those adults can understand the general situation and know the advance and retreat, otherwise there will be a river of blood. ”

Xiao Wu, who was also in the same car, said that he didn't understand these major events in the court, but when he thought of going out that day and encountering murder in the West Fourth Archway, he suddenly shuddered. At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded outside, and in an instant, dazzling electric light and rumbling thunder were intertwined, followed by a burst of rain.

Because the heavy rain came extremely quickly, the people who were waiting here under the Xidan Pai were a little caught off guard. There are not many shops and residents in the imperial city, and they can't even hide, and they saw a few guards near the chariot hurriedly putting on a red oil silk rain sedan coat for the carriage, and then they took out their raincoats one by one and put them on, and then they were still sitting on the horses and were fully prepared, and the people who scattered away muttered in their hearts.

After all, it is a person from the palace, and this kind of rule is not something that ordinary people can afford!

Hearing the heavy rain crackling on the top of the carriage, and a drizzle of rain drifting in the gaps in the curtains, Zhu Ning hurriedly ordered Xiao Wu to put these down, and said to the outside of the carriage: "Go to the right gate of Chang'an to inquire and see how the debate is going at the noon gate?" It's raining so hard, why should it be stopped for a while! ”

The sound of horses' hooves soon faded away in the rain, and the three people in the car were silent, all of them looking dazed. Feeling that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Xiao Wu had to gag and tell a few jokes, and felt a little discouraged when he saw that no one reacted. However, just as she pursed her lips and retreated, Zhu Ning suddenly spoke.

"Wan'er, in addition to asking me to bring you a message, the emperor's grandson also mentioned my marriage. Not to mention the rest, I really agree with his words, I want the kind of guest who has neither the gentleman nor the ambition of a noble man. It's just that although he understands my side, the recommended candidates are really not very good. ”

Although he was still worried about Zhang Yue at this time, Zhu Ning suddenly mentioned this, and Du Juan immediately took his mind back. Not to mention it, even Xiao Wu suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly opened his eyes and asked, "Who did the imperial grandson recommend?" ”

"Who else, isn't it Zhang Yue's friend Fang Ling? People are living a good life in the East Palace at the moment, and the imperial grandson also likes his straightforward temper, so seeing that he is not young, he started to think about Lalang. He is usually smart, but he is confused at this time, although the Fang family is not in charge of the army now, but the front is still noble, besides, he has a second son who married the county lord, what should I do after the father and brother of the boss, do I have to bother to take care of this business in the future? ”

After saying this, seeing that Du Juan was really no longer the sad appearance he had just now, Zhu Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now Du Juan is already more than eight months pregnant, if she bothered to work hard, if there is anything at this moment, then she will die without redemption. So, she smiled while the iron was hot: "So, I just said that the extremely smart imperial grandson immediately woke up, didn't you see that sneering look...... To say that he is four years older than me, I am embarrassed that Aunt Ning is short on weekdays, but this time I took the opportunity to reprimand him. ”

Although neither Du Juan nor Xiao Wu had ever seen the imperial grandson, Zhu Ning said something interesting at this moment, and both of them couldn't help laughing. There are many princesses in the Ming Dynasty, and there are even more county lords, but if you want to say that you can put your aunt on the shelf to train the emperor's grandson, I am afraid that Zhu Ning is alone. After talking and laughing for a while, the anxious atmosphere in the carriage faded a lot, and after a while, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and then stopped abruptly in front of the car.

"County Lord, I went to investigate, and I heard that the emperor didn't speak, so although it was raining heavily, the officials still couldn't argue, and it seemed that I didn't know when it would end."

"It's raining so hard and you're going to continue?"

Zhu Ning gasped, and immediately remembered that her temper as the fourth uncle of the emperor was so stubborn. Lifted the curtain and took a look, seeing that the rain with beans was full of mud on the loess road, and she felt that the wind outside seemed to be a little cooler, and she frowned even more. Because the guards outside were carefully selected by the palace, she knew that she would not ask them to take shelter from the rain, so she immediately ordered a guard to wait at the right gate of Chang'an, and ordered the car to drive to Qianmen Street to find an inn to hide from the rain.

Now, Du Juan is no longer as worried as he was at the beginning, but he rarely spoke along the way. When she got to the ground, she got out of the carriage and entered the store, escorted by a few oil silk umbrellas, and saw that there were no customers here, even the shopkeeper. Knowing that Zhu Ning's guards were dutiful, she was naturally extremely grateful in her heart.

"Sister Ning, thank you so much today, if you hadn't made an excuse, I wouldn't have been able to leave the house. I didn't expect such a heavy rain to cause trouble for your people again! ”

"What are you polite to me!" Zhu Ning turned around and instructed the guards to find a place to change their wet clothes, and unhappily untied the big red gorilla felt cloak for Du Juan, and then smiled, "I'm still waiting for your child to be born and call me Aunt Ning, how dare you not take care of you, a pregnant woman?" You ask Xiao Wu again, does she want your child to call her Aunt Fifth in the future? ”

Xiao Wumei nodded again and again, and then carefully helped Du Juan to sit down, and happily went to make tea in person. Seeing Xiao Wu's happy appearance, Du Juan only felt that his mind was much lighter. The three of them didn't know how long they had been sitting in the store, and the guard sent out by Zhu Ning to wait at the right gate of Chang'an had just broken in in the rain.

"County Lord, Lord Xiao Zhang is back!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yue, who was drenched, rushed into the store, and saw Xiao Wu standing up with Du Juan in his arms, he didn't want to think about it, so he said angrily: "I scared you to death when I first heard about it, this is wind and rain, what if you are drenched in the rain?" ”

Even Zhu Ning, after laughing out loud, he was a little envious in his heart. Zhang Yue himself was drenched like a mud monkey, and he actually said to Du Juan how good it was to be drenched in the rain...... When will she be able to have such a person? Having said that, what is the situation at today's noon gate?
