Zhang Shou's marriage is not said to be long, but compared to a workaholic like Zhu Tingfang, it is already twice as long. However, even though Miss Zhu once boasted that she would never be greedy for love on her wedding night,
After knowing the taste of edible marrow, it is too difficult for this young couple to stop eating.
So, on the day when she returned home, after Zhu Ying entered Zhao Guogong's mansion, for the first time, she took a sedan chair and went to Qing'an Hall to meet her elders. Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang, who had specially asked for leave to wait for the young couple at home, when they saw
Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou came in together. She actually yawned slightly, and the expressions of father and son immediately changed.
Fortunately, Jiuniang scolded them before they could: "Yingying, why are you so sleepy?"
"Didn't sleep well!"
Zhu Ying subconsciously burst out four words. When she realized what she had said, even though she was as generous as she used to be, she couldn't help but her face turned red. Then she said angrily: "Mom, I am a bride, and I have many things to take care of at home.
Yes, even the clothes Ah Shou is wearing today were chosen by me for him. Since I am so busy, isn’t it normal for me to feel sleepy? "
She spoke plausibly, and everyone looked at Zhang Shou's bright red outfit, and thought about Zhu Ying's usual color preference, and of course they all knew that she was not talking nonsense. However, no one believed that Zhu Ying was really involved in so many things.
So I forgot about food and sleep. You must know that Zhu Ying is the person who knows how to enjoy things the most. Even if she is diligent, she will still have a certain temper.
He found that his grandmother and mother were looking at him with a half-smile, while his father and eldest brother were frowning and staring at Zhang Shou. The second brother looked at her and then at Zhang Shou, with expressions of gloating in their eyes. Sister-in-law Zhang
She wanted to laugh but didn't dare. Zhu Ying finally realized that her grandmother, mother and even sister-in-law should understand her tired yawn, while her second brother could probably guess it.
As for dad and eldest brother...they are just two pieces of wood! It’s a shame that women like mother and eldest sister-in-law can marry them!
"Dad, brother, isn't it just a yawn? Don't hold on to it, okay? Ah Shou is very kind to me, and my mother-in-law treats me like a daughter, so don't worry!" Zhu Ying had to say angrily.
He glared at his father and brother who had a rigid face, and then whispered angrily, "Isn't it normal for newlyweds to be sleepy? Maybe you are the only one in the world who doesn't know this!"
Seeing Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang looking at them jokingly, Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang realized that they were being ridiculed!
Regardless of whether Zhu Jing married his first wife, Mrs. Deng, or Jiuniang, who was his successor, even if he had harmonious harmony with the piano and the harp, with the husband singing and the wife accompanying him, moderation was the main theme.
As for Zhu Tingfang... the thing he was most satisfied with about Zhang was undoubtedly that she never tried to tie him down or send people around to inquire about his movements after they got married. Even the two days he stayed in the Yamen before
, she only sent people to deliver clothes and food.
As for those things he had heard about, such as sending maids to accompany him to bed or various explicit and implicit methods, they were completely absent. Apart from having a wife who knew both coldness and hotness, he only felt that everything was the same as before when he was unmarried.
It also made him feel extremely comfortable.
Therefore, the two of them lacked a deep understanding of the four words "love in bed" - Zhu Jing probably knew better when he was an old man and a young wife, but he and Jiuniang have been separated for so many years, and now that they are older, they are even less likely to live together.
Ri Chunxiao, who was originally lacking in this aspect, is even more lacking now.
Although it was rare for Zhu Er to see his father and brother, who had always been strong, frustrated, and he wanted to laugh in his heart, he finally knew that it was an act that was definitely seeking death, so he just stayed back and watched his excitement.
However, when he saw Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang pretending to be dumb, while Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang called Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying to ask a lot of questions, and even Mrs. Zhang was there asking again and again, he suddenly realized something else.
one question.
Apart from the dowager, he was the only single person here! Never before at this moment, he felt that he was surrounded by the malice of married people. The loneliness and desolation made him look forward to his fiancée who was said to be a good wife and loving mother even more.
Hurry through the door!
Seeing Zhu Ying mentioning her life after marriage in front of Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang, she talked more than usual and the smile never broke off her face. Zhu Jing thought of that night after Zhu Tingfang returned from the wedding banquet in Zhang Yuan, although
His expression was not so good-looking, but when he mentioned the grand occasion of the wedding and Zhang Shou's early return to the room to accompany Zhu Ying, his rigid expression finally gradually melted.
Then, when he heard Zhang Shou mentioning that the emperor and the third prince quietly came to the new house, and the emperor also mentioned the issue of having children, he pricked up his ears, until Zhu Ying rushed to tell Zhang Shou's answer,
Then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether Zhu Ying was his biological daughter or not, he watched the little pink dumpling-like baby girl grow up and got married, so he naturally regarded her as his most beloved daughter.
On the contrary, it was Princess Yongping in the palace. Since she was the emperor's daughter, there was no need for him to worry. After all, unlike Zhu Ying, that too smart girl knew early on that she was going to marry the Zhu family of Duke Zhao's mansion.
Keep your distance.
However, seeing that Zhu Ying was born into a beautiful country and crowned the capital, even with the insistence of Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang, she married a man like Zhang Shou. Although he had struggled and objected
, but in the end he had to compromise. Now that she was living a good life, while he was relieved, he couldn't help but worry about the future.
You know, Mrs. Deng had a dystocia at that time. Although she managed to save her, she was so weak that she became pregnant with Erlang Zhu Tingjie. After the doctor saw it, the doctor actually said that if she had a hasty abortion, the mother's body might also be greatly damaged.
, so, when Mrs. Deng repeatedly insisted on giving birth to a child, he had to choose to take the risk.
In the end, although Mrs. Deng gave birth to her second son safely, her life was exhausted and she passed away not long after. And after he waited for twenty-seven months to marry Jiuniang, Jiuniang was pregnant with Liujia.
When King Ye rebelled, he and Concubine Yu almost encountered an accident. From then on, when he thought of a woman's labor and delivery, he felt that it was a gate of hell!
Therefore, before anyone else could agree or disagree, Zhu Jing took the lead and said: "A man should not only care about the love of his children, but should put his career first. Although Yingying is a woman, since she had to intervene before
When it comes to studying for girls, you can’t give up halfway. As for having children, you are still young, so you don’t have to worry at all.”
When Zhu Jing said this, thinking of his biological mother who died young, Zhu Tingfang naturally nodded in agreement.
Zhang's mood at the moment was so ridiculous. As soon as she walked in, her mother-in-law and her mother-in-law reminded her privately that she could just leave the matter of the heir to fate and there was no need to force it. At that time, she thought that they
It was to reduce the pressure on her, the eldest daughter-in-law. Now it seems...
The Zhu family is really not anxious about continuing the family line!
Seeing Zhu Ying's expression, Zhang Shou simply didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he simply replied happily on behalf of his wife: "What my father-in-law said is absolutely true, just let things happen as they happen. However, the Duke of Zhao has arranged two marriages in a row, and we will arrange them next."
Second Brother Zhu’s, then you’ll be familiar with it, it’ll be much easier.”
"His marriage can be arranged casually, and it doesn't need to be too extravagant." Zhu Jing said casually out of habit, not even noticing that his second son's face was already stiff at this moment.
Zhu Er really couldn't balance his mind. The eldest brother and his sister's wedding was such a grand event, so why did I just have to do it casually? But what Zhu Ying said next made him feel at ease.
"Dad, what are you talking about? My second brother is not picked up, so why should we just do the marriage casually? If it spreads out, it will be thought that our Zhao Guogong Mansion has exhausted all its financial resources and money after having two weddings! Besides, Wang
What will Datou's niece think? Will she think that we look down on the Wang family at all? Of course we have to do it with the same splendor as us, brother, don't you think so?"
Seeing that his sister had directly involved him, Zhu Tingfang suddenly smiled bitterly. Seeing that his father was completely silenced by the squeeze, although he had always been very strict with Zhu Er, at this time, he still chose to stand on Zhu Er's side.
In other words, he was on Zhu Ying's side. Because he knew that Zhu Ying would definitely get the support of Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang.
"What Yingying said is that after all, the second brother cannot be said to have no official or nobility. He has been favored by his father very early. He has done some solid things in Tongzhou before. If he can really
Once those overseas crops are popularized, he won't have to compete with those idle nobles for a future, nor will he have to fight with real swords and guns on the battlefield. He will still have a bright future."
Zhu Tingfang paused as he spoke, and then said with some uncertainty: "Moreover, there may not be a war to fight for a long time in the future. Even if it does happen, my army is strong and I am determined not to take the same risks as before.
So, dad, don’t think that your second brother is hopeless, he has actually worked very hard.”
When he said this, he did not look at Zhu Er, and of course he did not see the expression on his face that was almost filled with tears at the moment when his brother, who he always thought he had picked up or adopted.
That's right, Zhu Er has never felt like he does now. His brothers and sisters are very considerate and can support him at critical moments.
Zhang Shou did not expect that Zhu Tingfang would gradually turn the topic from Zhu Er's marriage to the future situation and war. He thought to himself that Zhu Tingfang probably felt that he did not have to worry about it for a while because of his previous victory in the Northern Expedition.
foreign enemy.
However, Zhang Shou does not feel that foreign aggression has really been eradicated in stages. Although Mongolia today is not the Mongolia that was beaten back to the grasslands in the Ming Dynasty in history, but still produced generations of figures, it is not necessarily impossible.
It will resurrect.
The later Qing Dynasty used the weapon of religion very skillfully, but it was also a double-edged sword... To say the least, even if the enemies in the north were no longer a threat, even the Jurchens would not be able to rise. However, without foreign enemies, it would be impossible
Are you really able to sit back and relax?
Since the Kangxi, Yongzong and Qian dynasties in the Qing Dynasty, foreign aggression has been almost completely eliminated, and there has been almost no large-scale use of troops against foreigners. It seems that the foreign enemies are gone, but is it not getting worse? All the Tianli Sect and White Lotus Sect can come out to make trouble, and finally
After being beaten by a lot of foreign countries and forced to learn how to be a human being again, didn't the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rise again and sweep the entire southeast?
It is almost an iron rule that dynasties rise and fall for hundreds of years, either due to foreign enemies or internal troubles.
With these things running in his mind, however, when Zhu Ying and Zhu Tingfang expressed their opinions one after another, even Zhang said with a smile that he would try his best to help arrange Zhu Er's marriage, but Zhang Shou said calmly: "Brother Zhu Er's marriage,
Of course, we should take good care of it, but after the Chinese New Year next year, Wang Zongxian may come back. He may not necessarily be a person of luxury and extravagance."
Seeing Zhu Er's sudden change of expression, he said with a smile: "So, if you want to do something luxurious but not extravagant, at least not to let the famous Wang Datou find fault, then you need to have more characteristics. For example, isn't Brother Zhu Er good?
Agricultural? Then, send someone to visit everywhere. How many people have published famous and unknown agricultural books over the years? Can you invite them?"
"Have those agricultural tools been improved over the years from north to south? Who improved them, ordinary farmers, or local officials or former local officials who are committed to farmland water conservancy? Can you pay a visit? Please come to your wedding banquet
?”
Zhang Shou still remembers the Ming Dynasty's masterpiece "Tiangong Kaiwu". However, even if people are not blown away by butterfly wings, they are definitely not born today. And the other one was born more than 20 years earlier than Song Yingxing
Xu Guangqi, an outstanding figure in 2000, is not even a shadow at the moment, and the "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" must also be missing. How can he not be tempted?
Even though it was impossible for him to read all of these two sets of books, at most only a very small number of fragments, he wanted to summarize these things in this era so that these two huge works could be published as early as possible.
.
As for waiting a hundred years later, if those two people really appear in this world, they will never feel that they have been robbed of the limelight. Because gold will not lose its original value because of another piece of gold!
Therefore, seeing that Zhu Er suddenly became energetic and other people in the Zhu family had different expressions, Zhang Shou slowly came up with the idea of letting Zhu Er find someone to compile a complete book on agriculture and industry. At this time, Zhu Er was simply
He pounced on Zhang Shou like a vicious wolf and hugged Zhang Shou's arm. He felt as if he was closer than his biological father.
"Brother-in-law, you are so kind, you are really my savior!"
When Mrs. Zhang saw Zhu Er in such a state, she remembered that the girl who had married him had secretly told her that Zhu Er was the one who was most disgusted with Zhang Shou at the beginning. As a result, she reluctantly became Zhang Shou's wife in Banshan Hall.
After becoming a student, her appearance suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but secretly remind herself. No matter what happened in the future, she could not underestimate her brother-in-law and her future sister-in-law.
And Zhu Ying smiled when she saw Zhu Er pestering Zhang Shou for advice. She couldn't help but look forward to being complacent, wishing that she could announce to everyone on the street that I, Zhu Ying's husband, can single-handedly cure all kinds of dissatisfaction.
People! Look at the helpless faces of father and eldest brother at this moment... They have always been helpless against the second brother, but now the second brother has really been subdued!
