Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 138
Brother Ming has been eating complementary food for three or four months. He is very greedy, but he can't eat as much as he wants, so he can only starve.

Shen Yuechen understood his mood, the delicious food was there, but he couldn't touch it.

After a while, Mama Yang served the cooked minced meat with round-grained rice while it was still hot.

Shen Yuechen personally took the small bowl and fed it to Brother Ming one by one. Everyone couldn't help smiling when they saw the affectionate look of their mother and son.

Among them, the old lady was the most relieved. After Brother Ming came to her side, he became more lively and active, and he became more alert, and he did not feel sick at all.

It is not easy to raise this grandson, as long as he can be healthy, live a good life, and grow up safely.

Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but secretly worried for Shen Yuechen, she has been in the door for almost half a year, it's time for something to happen.

Before, Imperial Physician Hu said that she was in very good health, a physique suitable for pregnancy, why there is still no news... It seems that it is time to ask a safe person to take a look, let alone Jintang's child. .

Shen Yuechen concentrated on taking care of Brother Ming, but she didn't know that the old lady was looking at her meaningfully.

After dinner, the men of the family stayed to play chess and drink tea, while the female relatives went back to their respective places.

Shen Yuechen put on the windbreaker, only wrapped Brother Ming in her cloak, and personally carried him back to the west courtyard.

After returning to the house, he immediately put Brother Ming under the quilt of the stove, his delicate body is not suitable for being cold.

Shen Yuechen had just changed her clothes when she saw Mama Xia coming, and said with a face full of shame: "Good luck, grandma, the servants are here to disturb you again."

Seeing her coming, Shen Yuechen knew that the Sun family had something to do again, took a sip of tea and said, "Tell me quickly, what's the matter?"

Although I don't know when Zhu Jintang will come back, I still don't want him to hear these things.

Xia's mother said: "Auntie Sun has been talking nonsense recently. This servant has already given her the tranquilizing medicine prescribed by the doctor, but it still doesn't work... I think it's time to send Auntie Sun out of the yard."

They had mentioned this matter before, but Shen Yuechen wanted to procrastinate on the face of caring about the child.

Hearing what Xia's mother said, it seems that Sun's situation can't get any worse.

Shen Yuechen murmured slightly: "Since there is no rule of law, let's send it out. However, food, clothing, housing and transportation still follow the current rules, so don't make her suffer."

People are useless, and they should treat her better when they look at the child.

Seeing that she finally nodded in agreement, Mother Xia breathed a sigh of relief, she can be regarded as completely getting rid of Sun's big trouble.

Shen Yuechen immediately thought of Chang Ning again, looked at the heat rising from the teacup, and said lightly: "I told the old lady before that Chang Ning would be a substitute for Brother Ming. To do meritorious deeds, you should do it yourself.”

Xia's mother nodded: "Yes, the servant girl knows."

While the child is still young, send it out quickly, lest everyone will feel uncomfortable when they grow up and know people.

Sun's daughter, Yaya, has been given a name by Mr. Zhu. Because she is a girl, her name is different from water and not from gold. She only took the word "Xiao" and called her Zhu Xiao.

Since it is the name chosen by the old man, naturally it cannot be changed.

After hearing this, Mrs. Cao was secretly pleased. This is the difference between the eldest daughter and the second daughter. Zhu Ying and Zhu Xiao can tell which child is more pleasing when they hear it.

Two days later, another shocking news came from the capital.

King Jing Rong intended to rebel, and the emperor confiscated his house and punished him. Three days later, he was going to be beheaded in the street for public display.

King Jing Rong is the lord of the prince, but now he has been removed from his title and turned into a prisoner, which is really unacceptable for a while.

The Qin family has been blessed by King Jingrong's favor for many years, and now they are also implicated by him. It is said that they have begun to sell their properties.

Although the Qin family has a wide network of contacts in the capital, it is different now. No one dares to help them in public. They can only secretly find a way out for them and sell those valuable things.

The Qin family likes arty, famous paintings and scrolls, and antique jade wares, there are too many to count.It's just that these things look good and are not easy to take with you. If something happens, you can't take a few of them with you, so you have to pick and choose and sell them, so as to plan for the future.

The Zhu family and the Qin family were also considered in-laws. Naturally, they were very concerned about the Qin family's suffering. However, when the Qin family wanted to send over valuable belongings, the Zhu family still refused.Right now, it's not the time to talk about old relationships. The Zhu family dare not take such a big responsibility. If the Qin family is also punished, it will be troublesome.

Qin Taoxi has been imprisoned in the South Courtyard all this time, and she doesn't know anything. After the incident, Shen Yuechen intentionally let the maids send a message to her, letting her know that her natal family, which she was proud of in the past, is now in peril.

A few days later, news came from the capital again that King Jingrong was beheaded in the street, and all the family members and women around him were enslaved as officials, and all men were sent to the army and sent to the capital, and they would never be allowed to enter the capital.

After hearing this, Mr. Zhu couldn't help sighing and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity that a good person died like this, and future generations will suffer accordingly! Alas! Everyone in the world wants to become an official and become an official. , don’t you know that the water inside is as deep as the sea, and if you don’t pay attention, you will be lost forever.”

The ancestors of the Zhu family said that the children of the Zhu family could not enter the court and serve as officials for generations, and this must have been expected.

Zhu Jun also sighed: "Thinking about it, my son was lucky enough to meet the prince once. He is really a handsome and elegant person. Moreover, Qin Hongqin can be regarded as a rare wonderful person in the world."

Hearing this, Old Master Zhu frowned slightly and said, "Do you still have leisure time to feel sorry for Xiangxiang and Yuyu?"

Zhu Jun coughed lightly and said, "Isn't my son sympathetic to the fragrance and jade? It's just a moment of emotion, and I think it's a pity."

Zhu Feng's concern was different from his. King Jing's downfall must have involved a lot of people, and I don't know how many people will follow suit.

Zhu Feng pondered slightly: "I think, after the Lantern Festival, I'd better go to Beijing in person, first to manage the business over there, and second, to open up connections."

Mr. Zhu nodded, feeling that his elder son had business to do, "It's good for you to go, that kid from Jintang is all focused on going to sea. Or, you should go on the safe side and bring enough money. Don't lose face for our Zhu family."

Zhu Feng answered yes.

With Zhu Jun at the side, he couldn't help but asked: "Brother went to the capital to burn money again this time, so it's worth the amount." After speaking, he stretched out five fingers and shook them.

Mr. Zhu glanced at him and shook his head: "5000 taels is not enough, let alone tens of thousands of taels."

When it comes to dredging contacts, you can’t feel sorry for how much money you spend. If you don’t spend enough money, you won’t be able to get things done. On the contrary, it will delay your future financial resources.

Zhu Jun felt his heart itch when he heard that, such a good thing never happened to him.Who wouldn't spend money?Who doesn't know how to socialize?

Because Zhu Feng had to pay a large sum of money, Zhu Feng had to go to the accountant himself. On the way, he met Zhu Rong who was coming back from work. Seeing his flustered expression, he couldn't help asking: "You don't follow Jintang, where are you?" What are you doing?"

When Zhu Rong saw him, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and immediately got up submissively and said: "Go back to the master, the younger one came back to get the silver, the granary in the suburbs of our house caught fire last night, and it is said that people were burned to death." , and, there is no food or anything left!"

Zhu Feng heard the words, his expression changed, his face became gray, and he only asked: "Where is Jintang?"

"The young master rushed over as soon as he received the news, and only asked the young one to come back to withdraw the money and prepare for the aftermath."

The seventeenth day of the first lunar month.

Ruan Xiping brought his wife Zhu Yuanlan into the palace to meet Concubine Jing. This time, the emperor gave him an amnesty and allowed them to enter the palace.

Seeing Ruan Linluo goodbye, Ruan Xiping and his wife were slightly taken aback.

The person in front of her was clearly their daughter. She had the same face and eyebrows, but she looked like another person.

After the two of them were slightly dazed, they bent down and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to pay their respects: "The humble minister (concubine) sees the concubine Jing, and the empress is a thousand years old and a thousand years old."

The slightly disturbed voices of the two people echoed in the empty hall very clearly.

Ruan Linluo didn't expect it before, she rushed to the arms of the two as if she saw her relatives, and burst into tears.

She was surprisingly calm, just stood there motionless, with no tears or waves in her eyes.

Ruan Xiping and his wife knelt on the ground and dared not get up, feeling mixed feelings in their hearts.

Ruan Linluo hesitated for a moment, then said: "Father and mother, please get up." After speaking, she waved her hand to signal the palace servants on the side to help them stand up.

Ruan Xiping and his wife stood still, both raised their heads to look at her face, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty... how are you doing recently?"

When Ruan Linluo heard this, she bent her mouth and smiled wryly, "Why is this palace not good? This is the palace, the most luxurious and exquisite place in the whole world."

She said this lightly, but the real meaning was the opposite.This is the palace, how can she live well?
When Ruan Xiping heard this, his shoulders trembled slightly, and Zhu Yuanlan beside him was also holding back tears, not wanting to cry out in front of his daughter.

Ruan Linluo looked at her parents' faces and remained silent for a while. The eunuch behind her couldn't stand it anymore and said softly: "Mother, it's rare for your family to meet each other. Why don't you sit together and have a good talk."

say?Ruan Linluo really wanted to say a lot at first, but at this moment, she couldn't say a word.

At this time, silence speaks louder than words, even if she doesn't say it, they will know what she is saying, in the final analysis, Zuo is just a word for "resentment" and a word for "ruthless".

Ruan Linluo waved her hand lightly, and told the palace servants beside her, "You guys step back first."

The palace people retreated in response, and there were only three of them left in the huge palace room.

Ruan Linluo walked towards her parents slowly, looked at her mother's forbearing face, and said calmly: "Mom, don't cry, everything is fine in this palace."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanlan raised her head to look at her, and the worries and grievances she had endured for many days were all shed with tears. "sorry Sorry……"

Ruan Xiping even knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to his daughter, "It's all my father's incompetence, it's all my father's fault."

Ruan Linluo raised her head gently when she heard the words, closed her eyes on purpose, and said, "We all have no choice, no father, no mother, and I don't even have one. Since I have entered the palace as a concubine, I will be a concubine in this life." There is no turning back, I can only go straight forward... However, I am very afraid of waiting for the road ahead, I don't know where it will take me..." After finishing speaking, she reached out to support her father and mother, looked at them, and said calmly : "Although I am afraid, I will still be good, and I will try my best to go on until I reach that high position. And you should also be good, and wait to see the day when I succeed."
