In addition to the time when he angrily attacked Zhang Shou at the Sutra Banquet, President Hong Shan had also done this at Yuzhang Academy before.
But Hong knew better that when he was at Yuzhang Academy, he had an old mountain leader above him and a group of students who admired his knowledge and character and sincerely defended him. In addition, in the early years of Yuzhang Academy, he had been in the officialdom for decades, and finally returned to his roots.
The senior officials also helped, and most importantly, when her father offended others, she would find ways to guide him, so his father was always safe in the end.
Not only was everything safe, but every time he offended someone in public, the person offended by Chief Hong Shan would often fall. Over time, he developed the stubborn character of his father, because people always believe that destiny is on the line.
On your own side.
And this time too, the emperor said that he would give his father a hundred gold, and he would return to Jiangxi after a banquet. However, because after the crown prince was crowned, the banquet was not held every day, so the day for his return to Jiangxi was delayed again and again, and now he has been postponed.
He is still in the capital and has not left.
At this moment, she didn't care about Princess Yongping and Zhu Ying, and hurried outside. When she saw that it was an old servant who followed her father, she immediately inquired carefully and found out that it was her father who sent him to the house.
He went out to buy paper and said he wanted to go to Shuyan about the second prince. He was so frightened that he hurriedly went to Bei'anmen to report to her. Fortunately, someone informed her that she was here and came over.
When she learned that her father did not expressly complain about the second prince, it was her old servant who had guessed it because he had been with her father for a long time. Thinking that her father had been involved in the turmoil of a prominent family in Nanchang's property division, Hong smiled bitterly inwardly and rubbed her hands gently.
After rubbing her temples and thinking quickly, she smiled kindly at the old servant.
"Thank you for making this trip. I will send you back when I get back. You bought the paper you should buy. If your father blames you for being there for so long, just tell him that it was because someone was arguing in front of the Wenmo store.
, sounds like the family members of two court officials."
Of course, the paper used to write memorials is not ordinary small paper or large paper, but paper with a special format. In places like the capital, it is sold in various Yaxuan stores that deal with the Four Treasures of the Study, as well as in ordinary literary and ink shops.
In a place like this, entourages from various official families are likely to meet. Although the old servant had not been in Beijing for a long time, he understood the truth and nodded quickly.
Knowing that Princess Yongping and Zhu Ying might come out, and others would be more likely to quietly pay attention to her movements, Hong continued calmly: "Tell your father that the one from the Yushi family claims that his master wants to
Shangshu asked for a thorough investigation into the matter of the second prince, saying that the second prince is a prince no matter what, and even if he is shattered to pieces, he must give justice to the second prince."
"Another person claimed that the master of the family was a certain minister, and scolded the censor for being crazy for asking for fame. He also said that the emperor hated people who asked for fame the most! Every year in the world, there are countless abandoned poor people who fill the ditches. Why doesn't he care?
How come he doesn’t care about how many officials are corrupt and corrupt, but he is trying to figure out what’s better for him. He is so shattered to pieces, it’s obvious that he is using his reputation to sell his integrity, and he has lost so many years of studying in vain!”
Seeing that the old servant was struggling to remember, she asked someone to repeat it to her. After confirming that she remembered it correctly, she continued: "If you tell your father again, the entourage of the imperial family is very dissatisfied. The dignified prince died unexpectedly. Is it that?
Should he be like the poor boy who died in the ditch and not even be investigated? Then the minister retorted, as a father, did the emperor say that he would not be investigated?"
"It is said that sending a man with white hair to a man with black hair is the greatest tragedy in the world. Who can grieve more than the emperor? You so-called honest ministers are just adding salt to people's wounds regardless of your father's pain! It seems like
If you don't jump out, you won't be a loyal minister. There is no need to stress the pursuit of such things. Instead, it will be used to crack down on pirates and rectify the navy. That is more worthy of writing a direct remonstrance."
In a moment of desperation, Mrs. Hong could only come up with these few words, and then she urged the old servant to memorize it again and again. Fortunately, this old servant had been serving the Hong family for many years and was loyal to her. The most important thing was that
He is proficient in writing, and although he is old, his mind is very clear, so he ran to him immediately. After some effort, he finally remembered it.
Finally, she comforted the old servant and promised to wait until the things here were finished. If she was free, she would rush back to see her father. If she was not free, she would take leave in two days and go back. Hong made arrangements for her to come out.
He took the carriage to help him see the people off, and of course he didn’t forget to give the coachman a reward.
As one of the lecturers in the East Palace, even if she is just teaching painting, she has her own salary, not to mention another salary as a friend of the princess. In the palace, the palace people serving her around her have already received their orders.
She absolutely did not dare to accept any reward, so it was extremely rare for her to find the opportunity to spend money like this.
Watching the carriage leave, Ms. Hong wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and then turned around, almost bumping into someone. She saw Zhu Ying, a stunning beauty, staring at her thoughtfully.
Princess Yongping was three or four steps away. She didn't know when the two people appeared behind her. After being surprised, she smiled apologetically.
"To make the eldest lady laugh, my father is a person who, to put it nicely, can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes, but to put it badly... he is just self-righteous and always likes to impose what he thinks is right on others. Most of the time he does this
There is no problem. After all, although he is stubborn, the principles he adheres to are correct after all, but things like this..."
"It's not that I, as a daughter, criticize my father, it's really not his place that an outsider should comment on!"
"Ms. Hong, this is the first time I've seen you talk nonsense and make up stories for people, but to be honest... what you just said was pretty good!" Zhu Ying raised the corner of her mouth and showed a proud smile, "And you guessed it right.
The emperor's character. Yes, the emperor hates those censors who don't care about the decline of people's livelihood and the corruption of government, but focus on some trivial details and mutter endlessly!"
As she spoke, she snorted contemptuously: "The second prince may have encountered a shipwreck. The emperor will definitely not be able to settle down on this matter. It must be investigated. Is it necessary for outsiders to seek justice for him impassionedly?"
"Actually, you can't say that I guessed it. I just... use myself to help others." Hong didn't want to bear the reputation of trying to figure out Shangyi, but she had to explain clearly, "I just thought that if I, as a father, even if it is because of not
A rebellious son who makes a big mistake by being obedient and is kicked out of the house is still a son after all. If something happens to him, how can he not feel sad in his heart?"
"At this time, any guy who jumps out to point fingers will be kept in mind! Because this is equivalent to tearing open a person's scars bloody, making people more miserable and painful!!"
Having said that, Mrs. Hong thought in her heart that although the Supreme Emperor cannot be measured by ordinary people, so there are many emperors in history who have been alienated by their ministers from father and son, and there are many people who chased and even killed their sons, but she
From what little knowledge I had of today, the emperor's mood at this moment should be exactly what she said.
Even if the emperor did prefer the third and fourth princes, how could he turn a blind eye to the fact that the second prince was dead?
Sure enough, the next moment, she saw Princess Yongping coming forward. Although her expression was as cold as ever, her eyes seemed to be much softer: "If my second brother could be as clear-headed as Madam Hong,
, if you don’t get confused, then maybe you won’t encounter what happened this time.”
"However, I really didn't expect that Madam Hong, you could be so quick-thinking and make up such a story in such a short period of time."
For Princess Yongping, such words are indeed a high praise. After all, she does not like the Hong family. When she first heard the news, she thought that it was just the right time and they had to help find a way to stop the stubbornness.
Chief Hong Shan didn't expect it to be of any use. She and Zhu Ying racked their brains and Hong had already thought of a set of words that might be useful.
Seeing Mrs. Hong's humility, Zhu Ying said cheerfully: "If you want to rush back now to persuade your father, you can leave first. Anyway, we have already seen this place, and the next step is to recruit students."
, there is no rush today.”
"If I rush back now, it will be confirmed that Uncle Qi ran out to tip me off. Even if my stubborn but face-saving father originally wanted to give up his idea, he might still bear it to the end when he sees me.
"Hong shook her head without thinking, and then said with a smile, "If the eldest lady really wants to help me, she might as well send someone to keep an eye on my father's elegant house."
Seeing that Zhu Ying was a little surprised, she said bluntly: "If Uncle Qi comes out again, it means that my father may really have his own way. At that time, let someone go up and ask Uncle Qi in my name, and then do it."
It’s never too late to calculate.”
"You know your father better than your daughter, let's do it like this. I'll go and give the order right now." Zhu Ying smiled with crooked eyebrows. She really went out to find a follower and asked him to go to the Yashe to keep an eye on her. When she came back, she followed
The topic continued.
"When you say that, I think my father also has the same kind of stubbornness. He is as stubborn as a cow. Even my grandmother may not be able to get him back when he makes the decision. That's why my mother had such a quarrel with him before.
Stiff! I didn’t understand it before, but as I grew up, I often came forward to persuade him.”
"So, Ah Shou has something I really like to hear." She didn't notice the extremely unnatural look on Princess Yongping's face when she was talking about old things about her parents. Zhu Ying said with joy, "Ah Shou told me that my daughter is my father and mother."
My little cotton-padded jacket protects me from the cold, is considerate and knowledgeable, and is better than many sons who don’t understand their parents’ feelings! After I said this to my grandmother and mother, they all agreed!”
Princess Yongping did not expect that Zhang Shou would say such things to Zhu Ying. In this era when giving birth to a boy is Nongzhang, and giving birth to a girl is Nongwa, and girls seem to have failed certain expectations when they are born, a few people would think that giving birth to a boy is like Nongzhang.
Is having a daughter better than having a son?
Even she still hates being a woman, because what a princess can do is too limited, so limited that she can't even control her own marriage, let alone the future. That is, after knowing her life experience,
Only then did she realize that if she were a prince, then maybe there would be no one like her in the palace.
The royal family may raise a princess whose life experience is unknown, but it will not raise a prince whose life history is unknown.
However, like her, Zhu Ying's "concubine's identity is unknown". Even Jiu Niang was angry and entered a Buddhist temple. Even the marriage was decided early and in a very childish manner. Her fiancé was born on the same day, same year, same month and same day as them, and grew up in the countryside.
Zhang Shou. But for such a fiancé, Zhu Ying fell in love at first sight, and Zhang Shou was such a different person from most men!
Why is Zhu Ying's luck so good despite her same life experience?
The Hong family does not have as many injustices as Princess Yongping. She is born smart and thoughtful, but she is ordinary in appearance. She has long been accustomed to looks mixed with admiration and regret, and has long been accustomed to the sarcastic words behind her back. She has long developed a good heart.
She has a hard heart, so although she thinks Zhu Ying is lucky and has the people she trusts, she doesn't feel sorry for herself because of her life experience.
At this moment, she smiled and praised: "If Academician Zhang is not saying this to make the eldest lady happy, but really thinks so, then he is a true man with a generous heart."
"Of course he thinks so. He also fully supported my help in the matter of the women's school!"
When talking about Zhang Shou, Zhu Ying's face was filled with a happy smile, and then she praised her fiancé to the Hong family. She didn't feel that her behavior was showing off in front of the other two people. As a result, Princess Yongping finally
I really can’t stand it anymore: “You are going to get married in November, and there will be times in the future where you will treat each other with the same respect as guests, and it won’t be too late to talk about your love at that time!”
"A truly loving couple is not a wife who respects each other like a guest and acts like a big lady. There are many girls who are willing to be a wife, but not me. I have made it clear to Ah Shou that if one day he doesn't want me anymore,
, just tell me and I will leave as quickly as possible and I will never pester you."
On a spring outing, apricot blossoms are blowing all over the head. Who is a young and romantic family on the street? I plan to marry you and live in peace for the rest of my life. Even if you are ruthlessly abandoned, you can't be ashamed.
Hong couldn't help but recited the song "Spring Tour to the Emperor's Village" in her heart. When she saw Zhu Ying's bright and bright smile, the light was even a bit dazzling. When she saw Princess Yongping again with a gloomy face, she finally understood these two things.
Why can't the beautiful girls of heaven never get along?
One is the bright sun hanging high in the sky, and the other is the subtle and silent moon hanging in the night sky. The only moments they can hang together in the sky every day are at dawn and dusk. Water and fire are incompatible.
She knew completely in her heart that Hong did not try in vain to bridge the relationship between the two. Considering the relationship between the emperor and the Zhu family, she still failed to reconcile the two. How could she be so capable?
Therefore, she simply changed the topic and sincerely discussed various plans for the women's school with the two. When Zhu Ying suggested that she go and meet the women's wives, she looked at the sky and agreed happily. Yong Yong
Princess Ping was inherently capable, and she had nothing to do in the palace anyway, so she simply agreed.
Therefore, these three people with different identities and experiences visited the three female wives Zhu Ying had married in the inner city. Even Princess Yongping was picky, she had to admit that these three girls who had participated in the prince's selection of concubines
She was indeed generous and knowledgeable. However, she was unwilling to admit that it was Zhu Ying's good taste, and only believed that it was because they had passed the primary and secondary elections before.
At dusk, when Mrs. Hong said goodbye to Zhu Ying and returned to the palace with Princess Yongping, she heard someone laugh: "Some people in this world have everything without working hard, and some people try their best but have nothing. Hong
