Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 172
The little eunuch read out Emperor Chen's oral edict in public and asked Zhu Xiuyuan to choose a day to go to the capital and enter the palace to meet the emperor!

The matter of entering the palace to meet the Holy Spirit seems sudden at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it is being sorted out.

After all, the method of preventing and controlling plague is too important!

Zhu Xiuyuan immediately accepted the order and thanked him.

Later, the little eunuch asked to go shopping around Jiangzhou City.

Dong Cheng naturally agreed.

He led all the officials to accompany him personally and visited the entire Jiangzhou city inside and outside.

Unknowingly, the time has come to the evening.

Dong Cheng took advantage of the situation and suggested staying overnight, but the young eunuch was eager to go back and resume his duties, so he rejected Dong Cheng's kindness and took the night boat back to Runzhou that night.

……

Jiangzhou Wharf.

After seeing off the young eunuch's official ship, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng had not returned yet.

Looking at the rolling water of the Yangtze River, Zhu Xiuyuan asked Dong Cheng: "Father-in-law, what do you think of your Majesty's summons? When is the best time for my son-in-law to set off?"

Dong Cheng has been very proud of himself recently.

After all, after sitting on the governor's chair, it is inevitable to feel happy and excited.

He faced the evening breeze blowing from the river, twirling his goat's beard, looking far into the broad river, and pondered for a long time, always with a faint smile on his face.

"Wonderful son-in-law, this is a good thing!" Dong Cheng's eyes revealed a divine light, "I think it was the Disposer who made a book about Jiangzhou's affairs and reported it to the court. It is normal for His Majesty to want to see you. .”

"Yeah." Zhu Xiuyuan also nodded while looking at the broad river.

"I wonder, dear son-in-law, have you ever thought about why that little father-in-law visited all the places in the city?" Dong Cheng asked again with a smile.

"This……"

Zhu Xiuyuan really hasn't considered this issue.

Now after Dong Cheng's prompting, Zhu Xiuyuan began to think back on the little eunuch's words and deeds...

"That little father-in-law, is he trying to find out the reality of my Jiangzhou?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked in surprise.

"Not bad!" Dong Cheng glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan approvingly, and then said: "My young father-in-law must be your majesty's eyes and ears! But that's fine. Jiangzhou is like this and has not cheated. It's fine that your majesty sends someone to take a look. "

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned slightly and said in confusion: "But my father-in-law, Mr. Yang Tingyu, Mr. Yang, is your Majesty's personal observation and disposal officer. Even his memorial..."

Dong Cheng withdrew his eyes from the broad river surface and turned to glance at Zhu Xiuyuan.

The look in his eyes was inexplicable.

"My dear son-in-law, you have to go to the palace to see His Majesty. You must know that the emperor is the most complicated person in the world. As the saying goes, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger." Dong Cheng said with a smile.

Zhu Xiuyuan fell into deep thought.

"Wonderful son-in-law, you are a smart man. I won't say much. After you enter the palace and meet His Majesty, you must not speak nonsense or forget your dignity..." Dong Cheng warned.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for your teaching!" Zhu Xiuyuan hurriedly handed over his hand.

"As for the day to go to the capital, the sooner the better, I think tomorrow will be an auspicious day." Dong Cheng nodded and said.

"Okay, let's set off tomorrow!" Zhu Xiuyuan nodded.

……

Dong Mansion.

The back hall of the West Court.

The four members of the Dong family sat around the table and had dinner.

"what!"

Dong Shuzhen was shocked, her little face full of surprise: "My husband is leaving for the capital tomorrow? Enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit!"

After being surprised, Dong Shuzhen's face immediately changed to a smiling and flattering look.Pulling Zhu Xiuyuan's sleeve, he shook it and prayed: "Husband, please take me with you. I can help you make your bed and change your clothes, and I can help you bring water and tea..."

Before Zhu Xiuyuan could speak, he heard Dong Cheng shouting loudly: "Nonsense! Entering the palace to meet the saint is not a fun trip, nor is it child's play. Don't be ridiculous!"

Dong Shuzhen was startled by Dong Cheng's loud scolding.

Her whole body shrank.

Holding Zhu Xiuyuan's hand, half of his body hid behind Zhu Xiuyuan.

"Dad said before that when you get married, you must obey your husband, but now your daughter only listens to her husband!" Dong Shuzhen took courage, looked at Dong Cheng timidly and retorted.

"you……"

Dong Cheng was choked.

There was nothing to say, and his face was swollen to the color of pig liver.

Because what Dong Shuzhen said is not unreasonable.

Now that Dong Shuzhen is married and is no longer a virgin, she naturally does not need to obey her father's arrangements in everything.

"Marry and obey your husband" was originally used to "bind" Dong Shuzhen.

As a result, now, she has taken advantage of the loophole to fight for her own "rights"...

Dong Cheng was really helpless!
For Dong Shuzhen, it is a great joy to be able to walk around Jiangzhou.

If you can leave Jiangzhou and go to the capital farther away for fun, then...

Dong Shuzhen could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart.

She has already decided that she must take this opportunity to go out for a walk.

must!

After choking Dong Cheng into speechlessness, Dong Shuzhen looked at Zhu Xiuyuan again, held his hand and continued to shake her, pitifully coquettishly: "Husband..."

Zhu Xiuyuan's whole body tensed up, and goosebumps appeared on his skin.

He was most attracted by Dong Shuzhen's coquettishness, which was like the sore feeling of having the soles of his feet tickled.

Besides, it was still when Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu were both here.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhu Xiuyuan agreed with a wry smile.

"Yeah! My husband is the best! I can go to the capital to play!"

Dong Shuzhen, who was jumping up and down, suddenly caught a glimpse of Dong Cheng's glare towards her, which was very sharp.

Under this sharp gaze, Dong Shuzhen immediately shrank and sat back in her seat obediently.

But after sitting down, Dong Shuzhen immediately became happy again.

She has already started to plan the travel related matters in her mind.

"My dear son-in-law, Zhen'er is acting wildly, so you should put more restraints on her." Dong Cheng told her calmly.

"What my father-in-law said is absolutely true, but when I go to the capital, my son-in-law will strictly monitor my wife and will never let her cause trouble. Please rest assured, my father-in-law."

Dong Cheng nodded slightly, and when he accidentally glanced at Dong Shuzhen, he saw his little daughter making a face at him...

Dong Cheng was immediately angry.

Just as he was about to sternly reprimand his little daughter for not knowing etiquette, he heard his eldest daughter Dong Shuyu say: "Xiu Yuan is going to the capital, and I...will go with him."

Ok?
Ok?
Ok?
As soon as Dong Shuyu said this, the other three people were surprised.

Dong Cheng swallowed back the words he had taught Dong Shuzhen.

She stared at Dong Shuyu with a blank and surprised look on her face, wondering why her eldest daughter, who had always been well-behaved and polite, wanted to join in the fun?
Dong Shuzhen was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said ecstatically: "Okay, okay, it will be more fun if my sister goes with us!"

Her mentality is purely childish. When it comes to having fun, the more people, the better.

But for Zhu Xiuyuan, this was a bit... He couldn't help but look at Dong Shuyu, and mentally analyzed what she meant by this.
