Chapter 532 The Jia Sisters
Following Zhu Jinghong into the bamboo forest, when he saw that there was still no one inside, Yingchun felt a little regretful.
As a person who would not refuse, she could only follow Zhu Jinghong and walk in. She just hoped that there would be no one next, otherwise it would be a big trouble if someone saw her.
Her worries are completely unnecessary, because with Deng An, a caring servant, there will be no other people in the bamboo forest unless the princess comes to find her in person.
Enter the bamboo building, and sure enough, tea sets and cakes have been placed inside, and the teapot on the small stove is already boiling.
"Girl, please take a seat"
"Your Majesty, please"
Zhu Jinghong smiled and sat down first, and Yingchun followed suit and sat to the side.
Since there is no one else here, the task of making tea falls on Yingchun. As a lady, she is certainly good at these things.
Just as she was about to reach out and take the tea into the pot, she saw Zhu Jinghong lift the boiling kettle from the stove and add water to the teapot.
"My lord, let me do it"
A group of bachelors proposed various methods, but they were mostly frame-up methods, hoping to make Lin Ruhai disgraced or even dead.
“Be careful, don’t burn it,” Zhu Jinghong reminded carefully.
Although he is a prince, Zhu Jingyuan has always been very polite and polite.
This is of course very unbecoming of etiquette, but Zhu Jinghong is a prince, so although Yingchun was angry and resisted, he did not dare to show it at all.
Lin Ruhai is related by marriage to the Jia family, and the Jia family is related to the East Palace, so he can be regarded as a member of the prince.
Twenty-five of the top three in Bai Shouzhong are indeed very ordinary among Jinshi. Now he has been promoted to the fourth rank in more than ten years, among which Zhu Jingyuan has helped a lot.
Unfortunately, these plans were not on the table, and failing to hide them from the emperor was just asking for trouble, so they were all rejected by Zhu Jingyuan.
"Sir, please speak"
"Yes"
Unfortunately, this state did not last for a while, and Zhu Jinghong began to reveal his true nature.
"Your Highness, I would like to see Bai Shouzhong."
The two chatted like this, and Yingchun slowly calmed down, secretly thinking that this Thirteenth Master is truly a gentleman.
"Later, thanks to His Highness's support, I was able to enter Jixian Hall"
But before he had sat down for a while, there was a knock on the door outside the study.
Of course, you have to pay attention to the key points, and the key point of this sentence is that Bai Shouzhong and Lin Ruhai are of the same age.
In a depressed mood, Zhu Jingyuan dismissed everyone and stayed alone in the study, frowning and thinking about how to deal with it.
“It’s nice to drink tea in your free time.”
“I was also a Jinshi in the 12th year of Taiping. When Lin Ruhai entered the Hanlin Academy as a high school prospect, I was only a top three Twenty-five of them were released to Runing Prefecture in Henan Province and served as magistrate of Zhenyang County."
When the two of them got tired of being together, an edict was sent to the officials.department.
If he hadn't entered Jixian Hall, he might still be serving as the prefect, and he doesn't know how long it will take to return to the capital.
"How can I bother you to do these little things yourself?"
"You"
But even as the same year, do you want to let this little friendship make you? Lin Ruhai betrayed the East Palace and came with him
After saluting Zhu Jingyuan, he heard Bai Shouzhong say, "Your Highness, I do have something to tell you."
"Sir, there is something else."
At this time, Zhu Jingyuan was summoning the bachelors in Jixian Hall to discuss countermeasures.
"Okay then"
"Come in"
Why is he getting closer and closer? Where are his eyes looking? Why does he touch my hand again? His breath Why is it so rough?
Thinking of this, Zhu Jingyuan expressed his denial in his heart, but he remained modest on the outside and planned to listen to what Bai Shouzhong had to say.
In the end, Zhu Jinghong came close to Yingchun and even took the initiative to hold her hand and read her fortune teller.
So when Zhu Jingyuan heard the news, his mood suddenly hit rock bottom.
When he handed the teapot to Yingchun, Zhu Jinghong inadvertently made skin contact with him, which made Yingchun instantly blush with embarrassment.
The content of the edict is very simple. Lin Ruhai was formally appointed to inspect the various shipping departments in the city and to supervise the military affairs of the Jinling Navy training.
"The girl is very good at drinking tea"
In fact, Zhu Jingyuan did not need Bai Shouzhong to sign up, and Zhu Jingyuan had already heard his voice. After all, this person was already an old minister under his command, and now he is One of the two sitting bachelors in Jixian Hall.
"The sisters used this to pass the time in their free time, so I learned a little."
Zhu Jinghong would not go to Jinling for the time being, which originally made Zhu Jingyuan extremely happy, secretly thinking that there would be no constraints on him if he went there. , I didn’t know that the old man had played this trick again.
Bai Shouzhong is in his thirties and now has the rank of fourth-grade official. He is deeply trusted and relied upon by Zhu Jingyuan.
"Who"
Because the previous emperor summoned Lin Ruhai alone, the content of this appointment was not spread, so that it now surprised the courtiers.
"Lin Ruhai married a daughter of the prince, and was very disgraced by officials at that time, which alienated the concubines of the same period, and even criticized officials for impeaching him for his misconduct."
Those are all ten What happened six or seven years ago, Zhu Jingyuan was still a child at that time, so of course he didn't know about these things.
If these things really happened, Lin Ruhai would lose his reputation. It stands to reason that he would not be able to stay in the Hanlin Academy. However, Zhu Jingyuan knew that he had stayed for four years, which seemed very abnormal.
Zhu Jingyuan was very calm and didn't ask a question at this time, so Bai Shouzhong continued, "At that time, I was watching the government at the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the material discussions in the court were fierce and powerful. Lin Ruhai was the last to protect him. Because of his face, he planned to withdraw from the Hanlin Academy voluntarily
"However, Prince Li admired him very much and tried his best to suppress the criticism. Lin Ruhai was saved and stayed at the Hanlin Academy as an editor for four years."< /p>
Zhu Jingyuan could tell that he was interested in Lin RuBai Shouzhong still feels jealous of such a proud man as Hai.
At this time, Zhu Jingyuan also woke up and understood what Bai Shouzhong wanted to do, so a smile appeared on his face.
"So, Lin Ruhai has been greatly favored by Prince Li," Zhu Jingyuan said as he picked up the teacup.
Bai Shouzhong replied, "When this happened, His Majesty was in Annan to quell the rebellion. It took a year after the incident to return to the capital, and then he was framed by Prince Li and was reprimanded. I don't think he knew about Lin Ruhai." "These things"
Although the emperor is very well-informed, because he is too well-informed, he will also face a massive amount of information, and he has no choice but to understand it selectively.
When he returned to Beijing, he was dismissed from his post and placed under house arrest. Of course, Zhu Xianming had no intention of understanding the family affairs of a small editor of the Hanlin Academy.
It was already the second year of Zhengtong that Lin Ruhai was re-employed. At that time, he served as a bachelor of Zhongshu in the cabinet.
Although he roughly understood Bai Shouzhong's thoughts, Zhu Jingyuan still asked, "So, what do you think?"
"Lin Ruhai colluded with Prince Li to conspire to frame His Majesty. He is involved."
"So?"
"I think we can use this matter to threaten him. There is no need to make him favor us, as long as he is neutral."
Compared with using this matter to make Lin Ruhai look bad, using it to threaten him is undoubtedly a better choice.
After all, if the matter of Prince Li is brought up again, the emperor will feel very resentful. It means that he has hurt the enemy by one thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred.
As long as he chooses to be neutral or work hard but not contribute, Zhu Jingyuan seems to be very likely to succeed.
"It's just about who should be sent to clarify the interests to him"
"Your Highness, I am willing to go"
Zhu Jingyuan smiled even more and immediately said, "I have your help." , I am so lucky to be alone."
"Your Highness's kindness in supporting me will never be forgotten. I am honored to be able to serve Your Highness now," Bai Shouzhong said righteously.
His words focused on the word "support". Of course Zhu Jingyuan understood it clearly, so he said, "If I remember correctly, Zhejiang Chief Envoy An Jinxian took office a few days ago. Now the Ministry of Civil Affairs is in the process of selecting successor officials."
"It is too unfair to retain such a talented person as Jixian Guan. We may seek to send him to Zhejiang."
Zhejiang Chief Envoy From the third rank, it was already a high promotion for Bai Shouzhong, and of course he was willing to do so.
Not to mention that Zhejiang is a fertile vacancy, just the important task of entrusting the governor with the border is enough to make Bai Shouzhong yearn for it.
As an ordinary Jinshi in the top three, he would not normally be able to reach the position of Chief Envoy, so Zhu Jingyuan's proposal made his heart surge with excitement and gave him a stronger motivation to strive for the future.
He is not yet forty now, and he will have great potential in the next ten or twenty years. And if Zhu Jingyuan can be promoted to sit on the throne, it is not impossible to join the cabinet and worship the prime minister.
Although there is a rule that non-Hanlin officials are not allowed to join the cabinet, the rules of the Ming Dynasty were set by the emperor. He wantedWho can oppose anyone who joins the cabinet?
"Your Highness's kindness, I must swear to death to repay it." Bai Shouzhong knelt down directly and Zhu Jingyuan saluted.
Besides Zhu Jingyuan, there are many speculators like Bai Shouzhong, and it is these people who have supported the reputation of Prince Rui's Mansion.
Although there are many people who support the prince, his real die-hard supporters may not be as good as Zhu Jingyuan. After all, the latter is completely based on interests and has a strong personal attachment relationship.
"Sir, sir, I'll have to trouble you about this matter."
Bai Shouzhong left the study, and the gloom in Zhu Jingyuan's heart had disappeared, so he looked forward to the outcome of this matter.
Besides, in the back garden of Prince Xiang's Mansion, Zhu Jinghong released Yingchun from his arms, just because Deng An came over to report that the meeting with the Jia family was about to end.
After dismissing Deng An, looking at the earth-colored Yingchun in front of him, Zhu Jinghong tidied his fine hair on the temples and said softly, "Don't be afraid."
"Thirteenth Master, like this "If someone finds out, I"
It's really difficult to celebrate the Spring Festival, so I mustered up the courage to express my objections.
However, before she finished speaking, she heard Zhu Jinghong say, "Don't worry, you won't be discovered."
Putting Yingchun into his arms forcefully again, Zhu Jinghong said, "Even if someone If you find out, I can protect you."
Although she still felt worried, Zhu Jinghong had already said this, and Yingchun could only nod in approval, although she did not feel safe in her heart.
"Remember to come to the palace from time to time in the future. After all, we still get along very well, and we just happen to relieve each other's boredom."
In fact, Yingchun didn't want to come again, but after hearing what Zhu Jinghong said In short, she was immediately in trouble.
"Yeah"
"Yeah" Yingchun could only nod again.
"Okay, go back quickly. If they ask, they will say that they were wandering around the garden and accidentally forgot the time."
"Yes"
After being instructed by Zhu Jinghong, Yingchun was led away by Deng An, and she felt deeply anxious as she walked.
When she returned to Tongxin Hall, the two wives of King Xing were about to say goodbye, so she took advantage of the situation and joined them.
After saluting and saying goodbye, everyone in the Jia family exited the Tongxin Hall, went to the outer courtyard and went east to the stables, then everyone got in their cars and left.
Yingchun and Tanchun were sitting in a car. At this time, the two sisters were sitting on one side and thinking about completely different things.
Tan Chun is recalling what Baochai said, analyzing his preferences and personality in detail, so as to adjust the way he speaks in the future.
As for welcoming the Spring Festival, we are in a state of great mental internal friction.
On the one hand, several "disrespectful" behaviors and Zhu Jinghong's coercion made her panic, fearing that someone would discover this matter.
But on the other hand, she felt that Zhu Jinghong was someone who truly understood, cared and loved her. The key was that he could really protect her, soSo she thought this was good.
"Second sister, second sister"
Tanchun shouted several times before Yingchun was awakened from her melancholy thoughts, and then she looked at Tanchun.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister, I have an audience with the princess today, why did you stay away for a long time and not come back?" Tan Chun asked with hatred.
"I went out to get some fresh air and went to the back garden for a tour, but accidentally forgot the time."
"Sister, don't you know how important it is to meet the princess, but you left the meeting with such contempt, I'm not afraid that the princess will be dissatisfied."
Tanchun was very anxious, but Yingchun said slowly, "The princess is generous, I won't blame her if I think about it."
What can I do? Prince Xiang wants me If you drink tea with him, wouldn't you offend him if you leave? Yingchun murmured in her heart.
"Yes, the princess is very generous. She won't blame you, but I'm afraid she won't have a good impression of you."
"My sister is in her prime years, why don't she think about herself?" If you can get the attention of the princess and recommend you to the mansions of nobles, you can also find a good family."
The people who come to Prince Xiang's mansion are all high-ranking wives. If the princess recommends you to these people, Lady, the possibility of success will be very high.
Remembering the mess in the Jia family, Tanchun felt worried and said, "Sister, how could you not seize such a good opportunity?"
Yingchun will be turning fifteen. , it is indeed time to get married, so Tanchun really cares about her, so he puts himself in her shoes and considers her like this.
Good sister, I no longer need this opportunity to welcome the spring, I thought to myself.
After being touched and hugged by Zhu Jinghong, Yingchun decided in her heart that she would not marry anyone except Zhu Jinghong in this life, so she really felt that she was no longer needed.
Obviously, she has not realized the "seriousness" of the problem, and she has been appointed by Zhu Jinghong.
Seeing that Yingchun's expression remained unchanged, Tanchun was so anxious that she almost jumped, but she still held back her temper. After all, the person in front of her was the sister she wanted to respect.
"Second sister, please read less Taoist scriptures in the future and care more."
Tanchun followed the old lady, nagging in Yingchun's ears, but she didn't know her own The first sentence was rejected by Yingchun in her heart.
Prince Xiang likes to listen to my lectures on the Tao Te Ching, saying it can make him feel at ease. If I don’t read these books in the future, how can I explain them to him?
The two sisters are completely opposite. At that time, in a carriage near the front, Mrs. Wang was talking to her niece, and they were talking about the meeting today.
"Princess, regardless of past grudges, is really great," Mrs. Wang said sincerely.
Although she is Baochai's biological aunt, because of Jia Baoyu's incident, Mrs. Wang knew that she had no face with Baochai, so she felt a little scared when she came here today.
However, Baochai was not in trouble, which made Mrs. Wang relieved.
But even so, she felt extremely uncomfortable every time in front of her niece, so she would try her best not to come.
"AlthoughThere is a difference between upper and lower, but after all, blood is thicker than water. You are the princess's cousin, so you have to walk more with her in the future."
She didn't want to come over, so Mrs. Wang thought of pushing Wang Xifeng out, so She can sit back and relax.
"Yes"
Wang Xifeng is not averse to having a relationship at all, and she agreed without even thinking about it. Please remember to collect it. The latest and fastest website, no anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
