Chapter 377 Zhu Jinghong’s Thoughts
When the sun set, Zhu Jinghong put on his clothes again and sat in the dining room with Ke Qing.
The food is of course first-class, but after spending the whole afternoon today, Keqing is in pain and tired, and has no appetite in front of this delicacy.
"Come on, eat, don't starve yourself to death" Zhu Jinghong was extra considerate and even brought food for Ke Qing.
Under Zhu Jinghong’s persuasion, Keqing did not dare to refuse even if she didn’t want to eat. She could only pick up the food and chew and swallow it like a machine.
Although Zhu Jinghong is a kind-hearted person, he is a dignified prince after all. If you accidentally make him angry, big trouble will definitely happen.
Based on this mentality, Keqing acts with extra caution, which will become her code of conduct for a long time.
Zhu Jinghong thought he was easy-going, but he couldn't understand Qing's current state of mind.
The two talked incessantly. After finishing eating and drinking for about half an hour, Zhu Jinghong stood up to leave.
"I'll come see you again in a while," Zhu Jinghong said before leaving.
Listening to the people in Yuzhai Courtyard, Keqing bowed respectfully and said, "Best farewell to the Thirteenth Master."
Zhu Jinghong smiled in return, then turned and left. Deng An and others immediately Followed.
"Thirteenth Master, you have a lot of fun today," Deng An asked with a smile.
In fact, Zhu Jinghong knew what role Deng An played in it, so he heard him say with a smile, "You are a slave dog, jumping up and down and tossing around, it looks like you can be it"
At this moment Zhu Jinghong's tone was full of joy, and Deng An knew that he had done the right thing by flattering him this time.
"As long as the Thirteenth Master is happy, I am willing to do anything." Deng An flattered him at the right time.
The two of them were talking and laughing all the way to the outer courtyard of the palace, where a large number of guards were still waiting.
When Zhu Jinghong was about to drive back home, Keqing on the other side slowly returned to the house and sat down with the help of the girl.
"Girl, now that the Thirteenth Master is taking care of me, the girl will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life."
Although the two Baozhu have not experienced human affairs, they also understand what happened in the afternoon.
In their view, now that the young lady has become Zhu Jinghong’s, her relationship with the palace has become stronger, which is definitely a great thing.
To be honest, the panic-stricken life some time ago really brought a great psychological shadow to these two girls.
Different from the optimism of the two girls, Keqing obviously thinks more.
Although she became a member of Zhu Jinghong's room, she was not the mistress of the palace after all. How to deal with the princess when she arrived would become a new trouble for Ke Qing.
If the princess is not easy to get along with, her life will be very difficult, and she may even be worse off than dead.
"You two, please stop talking and clean up quickly. I'm going to bed," Ke Qing said weakly.
In the afternoon, Zhu Jinghong seemed to have endless energy, tossing herI have to live or die, and now I have nothing to do and I can rest.
But at the same time, Ke Qing was also thinking about how soon Zhu Jinghong would come over next time.
When Ke Qing fell asleep, Zhu Jinghong also drove to the palace.
From noon to now, he has stayed in the palace for three hours. It may be almost dark when he rushes back to the palace.
It’s okay that he came back late. The key is that he did bad things in the palace, and Zhu Jinghong couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.
He also understood the principle of preparing for a rainy day, so he wrote a manuscript in the sedan chair to prepare for possible cross-examination by the empress.
However, he did think too much. When he entered the imperial city and returned to the palace, it was calm all the way.
After returning to the palace, Zhu Jinghong realized that Baochai had come to see him twice and left again because of his absence.
"Is there something important for her?"
"I don't know, Miss Xue just said that if the Thirteenth Master comes back, please send someone to inform her"
< p>This arrangement seemed even more strange, so Zhu Jinghong said to Yu Hai, "Then you go and tell her now that I am back.""Yes"
The sun was almost setting at this moment. Zhu Jinghong was not sure that Baochai would definitely come over to see him.
But his unusual behavior today allowed Zhu Jinghong to conclude that something must have happened in the palace today.
About twenty minutes later, when Zhu Jinghong was leaning on the couch in single clothes, Yu Hai came to report that Baochai had arrived.
So Zhu Jinghong put on a robe and went to the front hall where guests were waiting.
When we arrived at the front hall, we saw Baochai standing in the hall, still dazzling under the setting sun.
Ke Qing was already like that, but he didn’t know how much Baochai was looking at Baochai’s fat figure. Zhu Jinghong’s thoughts were filled with wild thoughts for a while.
"The Thirteenth Master has been staring at me. Could it be that there is something wrong with my face?"
Zhu Jinghong said with a smile, "Everyone has a love for beauty. If a girl is born with beauty, I will be more beautiful." Just look at it, it's just human nature, so why make a fuss about it?"
Being able to express lust so righteously, no matter how much reason Baochai has, he can't show it at the moment.
Of course, she didn’t come here to reason.
After approaching Zhu Jinghong, Baochai lowered his voice and said, "I have something to tell you."
Zhu Jinghong understood what he meant, so he ordered the eunuchs on his left and right, "You all get out." "
After everyone withdrew as instructed, Baochai said, "The empress has agreed to let me run for election."
Zhu Jinghong nodded and said with a smile, "I said as long as there are four Sister-in-law, help me, and my mother will agree to your candidacy."
Looking at Zhu Jinghong, Baochai solemnly said, "It was Princess Rui who helped me negotiate peace, so that my mother agreed."
Listen Zhu Jinghong was immediately surprised when he heard this. He had never expected this result.
"Please tell me carefully what's going on"
While speaking, Zhu Jinghong pulledTaking Baochai to the side and sitting down, the latter had no intention of breaking free at this moment.
After sitting down, Baochai told the whole story, which made Zhu Jinghong frown in deep thought.
"Why do you think Princess Rui wants to help me?"
Hearing Baochai ask this, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but smile and said, "What does she mean? Don't you understand that it's just what you think?" "Bah"
"Although she has other purposes, she has helped me now, and I am afraid that I will have to accept her favor in the future." Baochai lowered her head, she was afraid that this would make it difficult for Zhu Jinghong.
"Just do whatever you want, you don't have to worry too much" Zhu Jinghong calmly reassured.
"But I really don't understand why the Jia family doesn't want to help you. They shouldn't be so stupid."
This is also because Baochai saved face for Mrs. Wang. , only saying that the Jia family felt that she could not be chosen, and they were worried that she would be humiliated, so they did not help.
Standing up, Zhu Jinghong said slowly, "Forget it, the goal has been achieved anyway, it's just that this mess with our brothers has muddied the water."
He should have been close to Yuan Chun. Baochai now wants to inherit Chen Zhi's love. The reality is so absurd and wonderful.
But seeing Zhu Jinghong's relaxed look, Baochai guessed that Zhu Jinghong might be happy to see the outcome of the current situation.
When the water is mixed, you can fish in troubled waters. Baochai also understands this.
At this moment, she had more guesses about Zhu Jinghong’s intentions.
Baochai was very excited about this, and secretly said that the man she liked was really very handsome.
From beginning to end, Baochai was the only one in the world who noticed the uncontrollable ambition hidden under Zhu Jinghong’s superficial disguise.
"By the way, I will leave the palace tomorrow," Baochai said at the right time.
"According to the Imperial Majesty's decree, I am no longer the princess's attendant."
Nodding, Zhu Jinghong said, "That's fine, but the identity of the princess's attendant is a burden."
"Thirteenth Master doesn't want to know who took my place," Baochai said with a smile.
"Who is it?"
Baochai smiled and replied, "It's Miss Lin who you are worried about."
Two days passed quickly, and Baochai With not many salutes, she walked out of the palace that she was not attached to.
In order to avoid suspicion, Zhu Jinghong did not come to see her off. Instead, he stayed far away and went to Shanglinyuan.
Whether it is training troops and horses or making guns and cannons, they are all operated in Shanglinyuan. How can Zhu Jinghong not pay close attention to his own business.
"Thirteenth Master, an official came to ask for an audience"
In the gun-making workshop, Zhu Jinghong was inspecting the molds, and Zhang Ping'an's voice came from behind.
Putting down the things in his hands, Zhu Jinghong turned around and asked "Who?"
"Back to the Thirteenth Master, it is Jia Hua, the prefect of Yingtian"
"Jia Hua, you mean Jia Yucun" Zhu Jinghong responded.
"Exactly"
"What is he here for?"
After muttering, Zhu Jinghong said"Ask him to wait for me in the living room"
"Yes"
Zhang Ping'an brought the message to Jia Yucun, who was led to the living room and sat alone to wait. stand up.
In Jia Yucun's opinion, Zhu Jinghong's recommendation must be the reason why he was favored by the emperor, so he came here to express his gratitude.
Of course, in addition to thanking him, he still came to hug me. After all, clearing his father-in-law would offend too many people. If there is no strong person to speak in the court, it will probably not end well.
Jia Yucun was sitting in the living room, listening to the "ding-dong-dang" banging sound outside, looking back on his prepared words with a calm expression.
Half an hour passed. After Jia Yucun drank two cups of tea, he heard voices coming from outside.
Hearing carefully the voice of Zhu Jinghong, the man immediately stood up, tidied his clothes and hats, and then walked out of the living room.
As soon as he saw that the person coming was Zhu Jinghong, Jia Yucun couldn't help but quicken his pace and knelt down in front of Zhu Jinghong to worship.
"Jia Hua, see the Thirteenth Master"
From Jia Yucun's reaction at this time, we can see how unrestrained the officials at that time were. Facing Zhu Jinghong, he actually knelt down and pressed According to the system, only the emperor and princes need to kneel.
Zhu Jinghong was no longer surprised by this situation. He stood in front of Jia Yucun and said, "No courtesy, no courtesy."
"Thank you Thirteenth Master"
When Jia Yucun got up, he followed Zhu Jinghong into the living room, where they took their seats as guest and host.
"What do you want from me?"
"I came here specifically to thank the Thirteenth Master for your support."
"The support" Zhu Jinghong was a little confused. , he didn’t remember that he had ever supported this guy.
Jia Yucun only thought that he was being humble, so he went on to say, "Is it possible that the Thirteenth Master doesn't know that the task of clearing the father-in-law's land has fallen to me?"
"Oh, so that's it. ”
But Zhu Jinghong still doesn’t understand what this has to do with his support of the other party.
His response made Jia Yucun think that he understood, so he stopped worrying about it.
"I am just a humble minister with little talent and little knowledge, so I may not be able to take on such a big responsibility. If I accidentally make a mistake, or offend my colleagues and officials, I am afraid that there will be a huge disaster immediately"
Zhu Jinghong was not surprised that a shrewd man like Jia Yucun could see this. What he was curious about was why this guy was telling him this.
"I dare to ask the Thirteenth Master to save my life." Jia Yucun stood up shamelessly, and then knelt in front of Zhu Jinghong.
This guy really has no moral integrity, Zhu Jinghong thought.
He did not get up to help him, but asked, "How can I save your life?"
"I only hope that when the disaster is coming, the Thirteenth Master can appear in front of the Holy Master." , tell me a few words."
Strictly speaking, Jia Yucun's performance was very rough, and asking for help could never be so straightforward.
In fact, he did it deliberately because he was afraid that his whole work would be too complicated and have too many twists and turns.Jinghong doesn’t understand.
"Since this mission has been entrusted to you by the Holy Father, it shows that he has great faith in you. Don't think too much about it."
"I'm afraid that the small crowd will start. "And attack" Jia Yucun stood up and said.
"Your Majesty is a saint and will not be deceived by others," Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.
But what he said was actually nonsense. When Jia Yucun needed to die to calm public anger, the emperor would not hesitate normally, even if he knew that Jia Yucun was unjust.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about how to say that sentence, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."
Standing up, Zhu Jinghong said calmly, "Follow me in the workshop I have something to trouble you.”
Although Zhu Jinghong did not agree to help, Jia Yucun felt much more at ease when he heard that Zhu Jinghong had something to tell him.
“I don’t know what the Thirteenth Master has asked me to do, but I must try my best to get it done.”
Walking in front, Zhu Jinghong said slowly, “Your Yingtian Mansion is close to the sea, and there is Tongzhou not far away. In the Shipping Department, you must see foreigners everywhere."
"There are craftsmen among the foreigners. If there are craftsmen among them, you can find some for me."
" In addition, those foreign sailors and captains who have real skills can also be found for me."
Not to mention making guns and cannons, Zhu Jinghong asked to find sailor captains, naturally in order to build a navy and spread across the oceans. culture.
"Yes" Although he didn't understand Zhu Jinghong, Jia Yucun still happily agreed.
When Zhu Jinghong took Jiayu Village to visit, Baochai had already left the palace with his luggage and was rushed to the mansion by his family.
Outside the sedan, after holding it in for a long time, Xue Pan couldn't help but asked, "Sister, do you really want to run for the princess?"
"Yes," Baochai replied calmly.
"But a person like Mr. Thirteen is probably not easy to get along with. Even if you are really selected, your life will be difficult in the future." Xue Pan's words were full of worry.
If his sister marries someone else and her life is not going well, he can still come to her house and try to reason with her, but if she marries into the prince's palace, he won't have the guts.
Feeling his brother's deep concern, Baochai couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Although the eldest brother is a bit of a bastard, Baochai still thinks of himself and his mother very well.
"Brother, don't worry, little sister has her own sense of discretion." Baochai had no intention of explaining. After all, the eldest brother might not be able to understand if he talked too much.
"I'm just worried."
Jia Zhen’s leg was broken last time and she almost lost her life, which really brought a great shadow to him.
After all, Jia Zhen is a first-class man personally consecrated by the imperial court after the duke, and he is far behind Xue Pan.
The rest of the journey was silent, and soon they returned to the mansion, got off the sedan chair and Baochai rushed to his mother.
"Meet Mother"
Looking at her daughter kneeling in front of her, Aunt Xue felt particularly complicated.
She originally thought that after the Jia family refused to help, Baochai would retreat in spite of the difficulties, but she didn't expect that she still got to this point.
"Baochai, it's still too late for you to regret it now," Aunt Xue said seriously.
In her opinion, her daughter cannot choose the princess at all. It is completely stupid not to hit the wall and not look back at this moment.
If you lose the election in the future, you will definitely become a laughing stock, which will only bring disgrace to the Xue family.
"My daughter has already made up her mind, mother doesn't need to persuade her anymore," Baochai raised her head and said.
"Alas"
Sighing, Aunt Xue shook her head, then turned and left.
While walking, Aunt Xue said, "Then write the document and ask your brother to hand it over in the next two days."
Hearing this, Baochai felt her eyes moist. .
Although her mother strongly opposed her candidacy, she still supported her on what she had already decided.
"Thank you, mother"
After Aunt Xue left, Xue Pan stepped forward and said, "Sister, get up quickly. In fact, this matter is not really impossible."
p>"We still have tens of thousands of taels of cash at home. There is nothing in this world that cannot be done with money. Let us do it."
