Zhu Shou nodded heavily and said bluntly: "I understand that if they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, I will naturally regard them as the people of the Ming Dynasty. If they don't obey Wang Hua, then I don't have to be polite to them. They are not relatives even if they are out of five clothes."
, not to mention them, the survivors of the former Song Dynasty."
Lao Zhu didn't expect that Zhu Shou would speak so straightforwardly, and he suddenly felt dumbfounded. He waved his hand and said: "You can use your discretion and go down."
"My lord, please retire."
After Zhu Shou resigned, Lao Zhu couldn't help but laugh out loud while sitting on his chair, shaking his head helplessly.
After resigning from Jinshen Palace, Zhu Shou didn't look happy at all, but with a look of helplessness. If it weren't for his nephew, he wouldn't have gone to Laoshizi to be the governor of Luzon. He still longed to be made a marquis based on military merit.
.
Although he will certainly not lose his money this time when he becomes governor, his hope of becoming a marquis is completely over. Although he, as governor, combines military and political power with two thousand soldiers, his task is just
It’s just military training. Since ancient times, who has ever heard that training soldiers can lead to the title of marquis?
But the matter has come to this, and it is useless to think about it any more.
Zhu Shou returned to the mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, his wife saw him.
When the lady saw that the master had a bad look on his face when he came back from the court, she couldn't help but feel nervous, thinking that something had happened. Ever since Hu Weiyong was captured, the turmoil in the Ming Dynasty has not subsided. Even in the morning court, there would be a disturbance from time to time.
Two officials were arrested in court, causing the officials' families to live in panic.
Seeing Zhu Shou's gloomy face, the lady thought something had happened at home. She quickly asked: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing his wife's frightened face, Zhu Shou forced a smile and explained: "It's nothing, don't think about it too much." After a pause, he continued: "Call them all over, we have something to say."
"Okay, okay." After hearing this, Zhu Shou's first wife felt that the worries in her heart were not only not eliminated, but also became stronger. No matter how you listen to Zhu Shou's words, there is a feeling that he is explaining the funeral arrangements.
Zhu Shou's family was small, including one wife, two concubines, two sons and one daughter, plus nephews. Among them, his wife gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the other son was born from a concubine. The youngest concubine,
It’s been less than a year since I entered the house and I have nowhere to go.
Seeing that everyone was here, he said: "This is an early morning meeting."
Just after hearing what Zhu Shou said, the wife couldn't help but feel nervous, and her hands couldn't help but squeeze the silk handkerchief tightly.
"The emperor wanted to appoint the governor of Luzon. Seeing that no one came forward, we accepted him. The emperor has agreed, and I am afraid we will set off soon."
"Master, it's a good thing to be an official. Why do you look so sad? I'm shocked." The wife felt that there was a bright future. As long as the house was not ransacked and beheaded, she thought it was a lucky thing. What's more, this
What's wrong with becoming an official?
"Wait a minute," the wife suddenly realized and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, where is Luzon? What is the official position of the governor?"
Zhu Shou explained: "Luzon is overseas."
"Overseas?" The nephew was suddenly surprised and said with a smile: "Isn't that a barbaric land? Uncle, what is the difference between this and being sent to the frontier?"
When Zhu Shou saw that his nephew was very disdainful of overseas affairs, he originally wanted to tell him in advance so that he could be prepared. His idea suddenly changed. This nephew has never
It didn't give him any peace of mind. Judging from his posture, if he had been told in advance, he might just run away to avoid going overseas.
The most important thing for me to go overseas is to take my nephew with me. If he runs away, then I have done so many things and even gave up the hope of becoming a prince. Wouldn't it mean that all my previous efforts have been wasted?
After thinking about it, Zhu Shou decided not to tell his nephew for the time being. When it was time to set off, he would just catch him and tie him to the boat.
He turned back and glanced at his wife, and said: "It will take five years this time. Because the time is too long, the Emperor has given us permission to bring our family members there. Which of you will go with us?"
Going overseas?
When several women heard this, their expressions couldn't help but change.
The capital city is full of flowers, but overseas is a barren land. Every woman will admire the prosperity, but abandon the barbaric land like worn out shoes.
The three of them looked at each other, and the wife spoke first. "I would like to go with the master, but if I go, there will be no one to take care of the girl~"
Zhu Shou saw that she said it tactfully and did not want to embarrass her, so he said: "Then you can stay at home. We can rest assured that you are watching over us."
When another concubine saw the wife using her children as a shield, she also said in a tactful manner: "Sir, Zhen'er is younger and I'm afraid he can't bear to travel such a long distance."
Zhu Shou thought about it and realized that what she said made sense. Going out to sea on a boat was hard work, and children were too weak to die young, so just to be on the safe side, it was better not to go with them.
"Okay then, you can stay and take care of the children."
After saying that, Zhu Shou turned his attention to the last concubine.
The concubine almost cried on the spot. The two people in front of her were not going, so she was the only one going. And she didn’t even have a son and a half, so she couldn’t find a reason to hide away. She didn’t want to leave the capital either.
So wasn't marrying Zhu Shou just to covet the prosperity of this capital? If she had known that after marrying Zhu Shou, she would go to such a wild place overseas, she would not have married here.
However, it's too late to say anything now.
The concubine Zhen lowered her head slightly, biting her lips and refusing to speak, making her final struggle.
No one spoke for a long time, and the scene gradually became stiff. Seeing this, the wife couldn't help but said: "Why don't my sister accompany the master? After five years of absence, my sister can just pass on the incense to the master."
The concubine heard that the principal wife had indeed called her name, and was about to refuse, but was suddenly surprised by the title of the principal wife. Sister, you must know that since she came in, the principal wife has never even looked at her, let alone
He said he called her sister.
Moreover, what the wife said is not unreasonable. This incident made me realize more deeply that if a woman does not have a son by her side, she is really nothing. If she can stay with the master for five years and leave a lasting legacy,
She had someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
After thinking about it clearly, the concubine changed her previous attitude, a smile appeared on her face and said: "Then I will accompany the master."
Zhu Shou naturally had no objection. He also wanted his concubine to follow him the most. As the saying goes, marry a virtuous wife and take a concubine for sex. This concubine is beautiful and charming, so he naturally wants to take her with him.
"Then it's settled."
At this time, the porter shouted all the way and rushed in hurriedly. Zhu Shou nodded heavily and said bluntly: "I understand that if they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, I will naturally regard them as the people of the Ming Dynasty. If they do not obey Wang Hua,
There is no need for me to be polite to them. They are not relatives even if they are born in Wufu, let alone they, the remnants of the former Song Dynasty."
Lao Zhu didn't expect that Zhu Shou would speak so straightforwardly, and he suddenly felt dumbfounded. He waved his hand and said: "You can use your discretion and go down."
"My lord, please retire."
After Zhu Shou resigned, Lao Zhu couldn't help but laugh out loud while sitting on his chair, shaking his head helplessly.
