Ji Jiu told Zhu Er and Zhang Datou that they were members of the Three Heroes' Association. However, for the head of the Host and Guest Department of the Admiral's Association who hurried back after hearing the news from his subordinates, this was definitely a frustrating event.
The three ugly men causing trouble! The three dandy boys were so audacious that they broke into the south hall of the Huitong Hall without permission. When did this happen in the Ming Dynasty?
Moreover, unlike the Huitong North Pavilion located in Qingchengfang, the Huitong South Pavilion is located on Dongjiangmi Lane in the Qianbu Corridor area, close to many yamen. But such a big incident can actually make Zhu Er and three others prosper.
It was simply unbelievable that he left! So, the angry chief went to the Ministry of Rites in person to report to the ministers, and then decided to impeach these three ugly men.
However, no matter how angry the chief officer was, even if he sent in the impeachment memorandum that he wrote with great indignation before the General Administration closed its doors, he did not know that during the transfer process, the impeachment would be destroyed as soon as it reached the cabinet.
Was pressed down.
The three pavilion elders who had just been summoned by the emperor certainly knew that the three boys who had the audacity to break into the South Pavilion to cause trouble were ordered by the emperor. Even if it was certain that the emperor could not leave any literal evidence, it might not even be an oral order.
, but Grand Scholar Kong originally felt that the emperor's random orders of troops and generals were like playing the piano randomly. Now faced with this huge turmoil, he was even more speechless.
Isn’t this something that needs to be solved in a low-key manner? How many people will notice this matter if Zhu Er and the three of them make trouble? How can it be kept low-key? Once people question the so-called Goryeo tribute girls, Goryeo will definitely take advantage of the opportunity.
Not to mention the fuss, what about the dignity of the court? The pedestrian who did this is dead, and no matter how much investigation is carried out, this matter cannot be smoothed over!
Even if this is a sequelae left by Jiangge Lao when he was the chief minister, no matter how much he fights with others internally, he does not want to leave a stain on external affairs. Therefore, he cannot understand the emperor's intention.
, he naturally hated those three boys who caused trouble like this. Of course, he hated Zhang Shou so much that he was even more dissatisfied with Zhang Shou.
Therefore, the Confucian University scholar who had just left the cabinet and returned to the government late at night ordered the driver to go directly to Zhang Garden, which was not convenient at all. The emperor "sold" the former Luwang Villa and Confucian University to Zhang Shou at a very low price.
Shi Shi had not been here much before. After all, he had just been an official when King Lu came to power, and after King Lu died, the mansion was empty, so he only passed by it a few times.
Not to mention after this place was "sold" to Zhang Shou. Therefore, when he arrived in front of Zhang Yuan Gate, he opened the curtains and ordered his entourage to knock on the door, but he specifically said: "Don't say anything else."
, just say I’ll come over and meet you, and I’ll leave in a moment.”
The attendant was naturally respectful, but he knocked on the door and said a few words to the porter. After a while, his expression subtly changed, and when he reached the window of the carriage, he said with a grimace: "Master,
The door said that their young master...is not at home today."
Seeing the face of Master Confucius, he suddenly stiffened. He was afraid that his master would suspect that he was not considerate in his work, so he hurriedly and carefully explained: "Sir, the concierge said that not only their young master is not here, but also the young lady is not here, and even Lao An is not here."
No. They have all gone to Zhao Guogong's mansion. I heard that they may not come back tonight, and they may have to stay there."
Qing knew that Bachelor Confucius disliked Bachelor Zhang very much and would get irritated when hearing these three words in the past. Naturally, he omitted the title and simply used the four words "young master" to refer to him. Sure enough, his caution brought him a lot of attention.
This was a great benefit, because the next moment, Academician Confucius was really furious.
"Ridiculous! Go home!"
Trying not to get angry at the door of the house, Academician Kong immediately ordered to go back to the house, and then threw down the curtain. He didn't understand that even if he became the son-in-law of Chenglong of Duke Zhao's house, Zhang Shou would still be his own
Who has a mansion, an official position, and a prosperous property? Why should he indulge Zhu Ying in such a way that he would go to the Duke of Zhao's mansion and stay overnight if nothing happened?
It’s okay if you go alone as a young couple, but what’s the point of bringing an old woman like Wu with you? There is a limit to pleasing your father-in-law!
In the view of the Confucian scholar, even if Wu, the former maid, raised Zhang Shou, the young master, and even gave her a gift from the emperor, and Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying were willing to call her their mother, she would still be nothing more than an old woman.
.It was such an ignorant old woman who was trying to fawn over the Duke of Zhao just now. She didn’t act like a mother-in-law at all.
Of course, the attendant outside the car would not ask Grand Scholar Kong why he did not go to Zhao Guogong's mansion - based on the current hot discussion on the street, his master used to hide behind Jiangge to plot against Zhao Guogong and his son, and he would never go to Zhao Guogong's house in this life.
Otherwise, if Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang are so vindictive, and they attack in person, wouldn't the master be bringing humiliation to himself?
Zhang Shou didn't know that he had accidentally avoided the visit of the Confucian scholar. Today, it was not Zhu Ying who wanted to go back to Zhao Guogong's residence, nor was it because he needed to please his father-in-law and his family, but Zhu Ying.
After Erzai returned home, Huohuoliao sent someone to call for emergency help. He knew exactly what was going on, so after thinking about it, he simply brought Wu and Zhu Ying together.
After all, Mrs. Wu was familiar with Jiuniang, and Mrs. Tai was also quite amiable to her, and she was an in-law. At the critical moment, she might be able to say a few words to Zhu Er, a reckless boy.
However, what he didn't expect was that Zhu Er's vague request for help was not because the boy was acting according to orders but caused a big mess, so he was worried that the situation would not be settled and called for help, but for another reason.
.When he, Zhu Ying and Wu were taken to Qing'an Hall by Mother Jiang who was waiting there as soon as they arrived in front of the Zhao Guogong Mansion, he learned an extraordinary news.
The madam suddenly fainted after dinner!
Although the Duke of Zhao's Mansion sent many people and almost directly challenged two imperial doctors and a famous Xinglin national player in the capital, the wife had regained consciousness, but the three doctors, apart from considering the prescription, had almost the same diagnosis.
Mrs. Tai had suffered from dizziness in the past, but she had always rested her body and mind, and had a light diet, so the attacks were rare and relatively mild. However, this time it was a sudden and severe attack, so the symptoms were quite dangerous. Although she is awake now,
However, it is easy to leave sequelae, ranging from speech difficulties to twitching of hands and feet to difficulty in getting out of bed.
No matter how tenacious and sharp-tempered Zhu Ying is on weekdays, when faced with this kind of bolt from the blue, she was suddenly confused and had no idea at all. And even though Zhang Shou did not have any special research on traditional Chinese medicine, he was dizzy.
, because Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty was so famous for his chronic disease of wind and dizziness, but he still knew about it.
If this disease progresses, it will lead to malignant consequences such as brain tumors and strokes. And according to the doctor's diagnosis, those so-called sequelae are indeed symptoms of stroke.
In a future society with advanced medical science, there is no guarantee that such a disease can be cured, let alone now? After all, the Dowager Madam is already over seventy years old and is no longer young!
The two imperial doctors and the doctor knew that the Duke of Zhao was not one to hide illness and avoid medical treatment, so they told the truth about the illness. However, when they saw that all the family members who used to be famous in the capital had their faces as dark as water, they wanted to say good words to comfort them.
, but he was worried about what might happen if he turned around, so when the wife woke up, the doctor who had no official position stayed behind, but the two imperial doctors hurried away.
After all, they who work at the Imperial Hospital will certainly treat high-ranking officials, but their job is to serve as the emperor's imperial physician. Of course, what they fear most is that Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing coldly says "If you can't cure me, you will die!"
The doctor who stayed behind was helpless. Although the attitude of Zhao Guogong's family was quite polite, he was still trembling with fear. Until a servant girl politely took him out of the main room and took him to a side room to rest for a while. Although his face looked sad, he still felt nervous.
There was no insinuation or insinuation to get any more guarantees from him, nor was he using his power to pressure others to warn him. When he saw the others go out, his heart was heavy.
Now Zhu Jing is in charge of the Ministry of War, and Zhu Tingfang is in charge of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. Coupled with Zhang Shou, a popular son-in-law, it can be said that he is more prominent than before.
However, if anything happens to the dowager, one of them must be broken off first - because as a son, Zhu Jing must have Ding You, and this filial piety lasts for twenty-seven months!
As for Zhu Tingfang, although his father is still alive, he is not a grandson, that is, he has served for one year and has no need to worry about it. But in general, of course, the filial piety period cannot be as intense as before, and many things will inevitably have to be more scrupulous.
Moreover, the Tai Madam is the biological sister of the current Queen Mother. As long as she is around, there will be a natural connection. The Emperor and Zhu Jing, the cousins, will naturally be closer. If the Tai Madam leaves, who knows what the future will be like?
Others were thinking about the turmoil in the Zhu family if something happened to Mrs. Tai. However, for the people gathered in Qing'an Hall at this time, no one thought about the possibility. Even the Wu family,
Thinking of the Mrs. Tai's words and deeds that made people feel like spring breeze in the past, I can't help but secretly pray to God to open his eyes.
Fortunately, when Mrs. Tai was swallowing the water and medicine given by Zhu Ying with some difficulty, Zhang Shou could see clearly that there was no sign of her mouth being crooked. At least she breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately hinted that Zhu Ying was holding it.
She stayed in the hand of Mrs. Tai. After they drank the water and fell asleep again, everyone went to Jiuniang's side to talk in the upper room. Zhang Shou deliberately pulled Zhu Ying to the last place.
After the person in front had already left, he asked in a low voice: "Yingying, let me ask you, when you went to hold grandma's hand just now, did she still have the strength?"
Zhu Ying hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Grandma seems to want to grab my hand, but she doesn't seem to have the strength, but she can still move her fingers, but it's very difficult."
"It's good to be able to move. At least it's not the worst situation."
Zhang Shou breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered: "Grandma is old. Since she has had this disease before, she can only treat it slowly and not rush. It is a great blessing that people can wake up today.
, what you have to do is not to be on tenterhooks and frightened, but to act as if nothing has happened and stay with her often. She is a very strong person and will not get into trouble easily."
"Also, don't treat her too much as a patient. With her character, she has been strong all her life, but in the end, her beloved granddaughter treats her as a patient who can't do anything by herself, or even a cripple. That is the biggest blow. Let's wait for her to recover.
Come here, you have to remember to treat her with a normal heart."
Zhu Ying's eyes were slightly watery when she heard this, but she knew that Zhang Shou was right and that the lady did have such a character.
Zhu Tingfang, who noticed that Zhu Ying had not followed, so he waited at the Moon Gate, happened to hear Zhang Shou's words of comfort to Zhu Ying. He realized that every word of these words was to the point, and it was not an empty comfort at all. The most important thing is that
, Zhang Shouna couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart when he heard Zhang Shouna's suggestion that Zhu Ying come often to accompany the wife.
If Zhu Ying married into another family and became a daughter-in-law, how could her parents-in-law and husband be so generous as to let her go back to stay with her maternal grandmother?
He did not disturb the young couple and turned around quietly to leave. When he arrived at the main door of the upper room, he saw his wife Zhang Ruyu standing there waiting for him. Seeing him coming, Zhang Ruyu came forward to greet him, and then lowered her voice and said: "Dad and mother
We discussed in the house that we wanted to resign and go home to take care of my grandmother, but my mother firmly disagreed, and we almost got into a fight just now."
Of course, Zhu Tingfang knows his father best. Zhu Jing can bend and stretch, he can control and let go. He can be so cold at critical moments that he even treats his own son as a pawn. He can let his wife live in a Buddhist temple but not pick him up. It can be said that the overall situation is two-fold.
This word is the weight of the steelyard in people's minds, and other things are far lighter than it.
But now, he finally knows what can weigh more than the overall situation.
He nodded to his wife, who was clearly guarding the door just now, and then pulled her in together. Zhang Ruyu was slightly startled by such a move, and then two red clouds of joy appeared on his face. But when he entered the house
Before, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Zhu Ying and Zhang Shouzheng coming hand in hand from behind. The scene was exactly the same as hers now.
She didn't know if Zhu Tingfang, who had always seemed cold and cold, saw her sister and brother-in-law's behavior behind her, so she just held her hand, but no matter what, she still felt warm in her heart. Therefore, after entering the house, she also
She didn't let go of Zhu Tingfang's hand out of shyness, she just pretended not to see the weird look in her brother-in-law Zhu Er's eyes.
Zhu Jing, on the other hand, waited calmly until the two young couples came in one after another, and then said: "I plan to resign to serve my illness."
Zhu Tingfang had Zhang Ruyu to report the news, but Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying did not. At this moment, Zhu Yingna was naturally shocked, while Zhang Shou came to his senses immediately. After taking a look at Jiuniang, who looked calm, he
He said calmly: "My father-in-law is certainly filial, but I think if my grandmother knew about it, her first reaction would definitely be to beat you out."
Hearing this, Zhu Er couldn't help but admire him. He just saw his father and stepmother arguing. He wanted to persuade him but didn't dare to do so, because it might be wrong to help either side, and he might even get beaten up.
.But Zhang Shou was lucky. As soon as he heard these words, he immediately choked his father, who was always the most afraid of him, back. Listen, grandma will beat you out, these words are so domineering!
"I don't want to talk about who comes first, loyalty or filial piety, because if my grandmother were here at this time, she wouldn't like to hear this kind of truth. With her character, what she hates the most is being treated as if she is about to die if she gets sick.
