Rebirth of the ghost concubine of the confused country

Chapter 53
After finishing speaking, Zhu Jing glanced at the crowd again, and was about to speak again.Suddenly there was a notification from outside the door: "Report to Lord Hou, the Prime Minister's wife is asking to see you."

"..."

what's the situation?Why did the prime minister's wife come to the Hou's mansion?
This notification pulled everyone's thoughts back, and then all eyes focused on Zhu Jing's face.

A hint of impatience flashed across Zhu Jing's face, but since the prime minister's wife came, he couldn't help but raise his hands and said, "You guys go down first, remember my words, Zishi."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Jing said to Xiao Si who was outside the door: "I invite Mrs. Prime Minister."

"Yes."

Stoudemire agreed and ran away in a hurry.

"Mother, what is the prime minister's wife doing at our house? Daddy has never had much contact with the prime minister. I am surprised to visit suddenly!"

Zhu Zichan tugged on Second Aunt's sleeve and said as she walked out.

Second Yiniang had been preoccupied with the matter of poison just now, so she never cared about the Prime Minister's wife's visit.

Now that Zhu Zichan said it, she came back to her senses and said to herself, "It's so dangerous!"

Then, after thinking for a while, he said, "What are you talking about, Mrs. Prime Minister? Hmph, she is so bitter and mean, what good can she do in the waiting mansion?"

After finishing speaking, I couldn't help but think of the plot of attending the poetry meeting that day, couldn't help but rolled my eyes, took Zhu Zichan's hand and said, "Go, go and listen with mother."

After Zhu Zixin walked out of the main hall gate, he immediately said to Xiao Cui who was following him: "Xiao Cui, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape this time. After Zhu Ziqi wakes up, she must insist that I was the one who poisoned you." her."

"Then...Miss, what can I do?"

When Xiao Cui heard this, she said anxiously.

"Hmph, it's really nothing. If you do what I say, we will be safe and sound."

Zhu Zixin said with a sneer on the corner of his lips.

Then, she ordered: "Go to the palace quickly, go to the empress, and say that I agree to her condition, but she also has to agree to one condition, that she will come to the Houfu at noon tomorrow, as long as she helps I solved this trouble, and I agreed to what she said that day."

"Yes, ma'am."

Knowing that the gaffe was urgent, Xiaocui didn't hesitate for a moment, she agreed and hurried to go.

But Zhu Zixin went back to Dongli Garden to sleep soundly.For her, this matter has been resolved, because she believes that the queen will definitely come tomorrow!
In the main hall, the prime minister's wife was sitting at the table with Zhu Jing talking.

She took a sip of tea first, put down the teacup, then forced a bright smile on her face, looked at Zhu Jing and said, "How is the waiter?"

Zhu Jing heard the words and said perfunctorily: "It's okay, it's okay!"

In fact, he wanted to scold his mother in his heart, and he was in the middle of the fire, but this blind-eyed wife of the prime minister came to catch up. He had to suppress the fire, and he had to deal with her with a smile on his face, feeling really tired Panic.

As the saying goes, people and groups are divided, like like flock together, do different ways not conspire with each other? Don't say that although Zhu Jing and the prime minister are colleagues, they seldom interact with each other. The prime minister has always been on the side of the King of Ji. Although Zhu Jing is Zhu Jing's future father-in-law, he is wise to protect himself and never expresses his side, because he has long seen the cruelty of this struggle. No matter which side you stand at this time, when the final dust settles, the winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. Anyone can guess this. As the loser, the end will be miserable, and The side that wins, with high achievements, will not end well. Therefore, it is wise for him not to get involved in this muddy water and behave smoothly.

Now that the prime minister's wife came to see her, Zhu Jing didn't know her reason for coming, so he couldn't help guessing a few things in his heart. Could it be that she came to be a lobbyist?
Thinking of this possibility, Zhu Jing naturally didn't dare to speak easily, waiting for the prime minister's wife to speak first.

"Hey! Without the mistress, the Hou Mansion seems to be much deserted!"

The prime minister's wife sighed again.

"This……"

Looking around, Zhu Jing said, "Actually, when Madam was alive, she didn't really care about things."

"Master Hou's words are wrong. You have underestimated us women. In a family, the role of the housewife is not small. I don't think it is a big deal on weekdays, but once there is something, it will save you a lot of trouble. For example, today When Mrs. Ben comes to the house, you can do whatever you need to do, just invite Mrs. out, and we two sisters can chat, but now, Mrs. Ben is here, so I have to invite you, a busy person, out."

The prime minister's wife said again.

"It's what Ma'am said, it's what she said."

Speaking of these, Zhu Jing was deeply touched. Since his wife left, everyone came to ask him for advice on matters big and small in the house. He felt that it was a bit difficult for him to deal with it. Now that the prime minister's wife said it, he naturally felt the same way.However, he still didn't understand the purpose of the Prime Minister's wife's visit this time.

He didn't understand, but the two eavesdropping outside the window did.

I saw Zhu Zichan secretly said: "Mother, it seems that the wife of the prime minister is not kind!"

The second aunt's face had turned into a pig's color at the moment, and she clenched her fists angrily, wishing she could break in and beat up the prime minister's wife.However, no matter how angry she was, she didn't dare to make trouble in front of the master, so she could only continue to hide in the dark and listen to the corner.

"It seems that Lord Hou is deeply moved. If so, then I didn't come in vain today."

When the prime minister's wife saw that Zhu Jing agreed with her words, she immediately regained her spirits, sat up straight, and said again.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhu Jing to speak, she leaned forward and continued: "I have a distant relative, eighteen years old, with beautiful looks, one in a hundred, named Chu Hong, she has studied the Analects of Confucius since she was a child. , female admonition, internal training, female Fan Jielu female fourth book, is a rare female talent, although it is only a daughter's family now, she has already managed her own family in an orderly manner, but her family background is a bit poor, her father is an official magistrate , but you, Lord Hou, it is not the first time you are married, this marriage is a good match in my opinion. I don't know what you want, Lord Hou?"

The prime minister's wife spoke a long list, feeling a little thirsty, picked up the tea bowl on the table and drank tea, but her eyes kept secretly watching Zhu Jing's face.

"It turned out to be a kiss."

After hearing what the prime minister's wife had said, Zhu Jingfang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't about persuading him to join the crown prince or King Ji, everything would be easy to talk about.

Besides, he is also tired of such tedious trivial matters. Thinking about it, what the prime minister's wife said is right. If there is a mistress at home, he doesn't have to do everything by himself. It's enough for the wife to come forward to receive him, and he doesn't have to feel as uncomfortable as sitting on pins and needles.

In fact, he had thought about setting up Second Aunt before, but she was too petty, she was so muddy that she couldn't support the wall, and she couldn't take on this important task, and she came from a small family, so she would inevitably lose her demeanor.Only then did he give up his plan to tell her to straighten her up.Now that there is a suitable candidate, it is better to marry someone who is in charge.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jing nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the prime minister's wife to be so thoughtful. If so, then you should agree with each other. If the other party has no objection, you can choose a date to make a deal."

"Okay! It's better for Master Hou to be refreshing! If that's the case, then I won't bother you anymore, I'll hurry back and make a deal for you! Hehe..."

After hearing Zhu Jing's words, the prime minister's wife burst into a smile, she got up immediately, and wanted to go back to finalize the matter.

In fact, before she came, she had already asked the woman's opinion, and the woman's parents fully agreed. Although Zhu Jing was the second time, but after all, it was Lord Hou. It would be a big deal for them to get involved in this marriage in the future. The benefits are endless.

But the prime minister's wife did not tell Zhu Jing about this. Firstly, it was the first time she came to the door, so she should not be too hasty, and she lost her manners. Second, she also made double preparations, for fear of any mishaps in the middle. During the cautious period, it is better to make an extra trip.

Seeing that the prime minister's wife was about to leave, Zhu Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up hastily and said, "Thank you, madam, I will send you off respectfully!"

"No need, Master Hou, you're busy, so I'll bother you another day."

After finishing speaking, the prime minister's wife left with a smile.

"This old woman! I'm so mad!"

At this time, the second aunt who had been listening to the corner finally broke out, she yelled through gritted teeth.Completely forgetting where I am in this way.

"Whoever is there, get out of here quickly."

Zhu Jing's voice came from the room, and Zhu Zichan covered her mouth in fright and said, "Mother, I was discovered by father!"

"Ah, hurry up!"

The second aunt panicked immediately, she pulled Zhu Zichan's hand and planned to run away, but after running a few steps, she almost bumped into a wall of flesh.

Looking up, seeing Zhu Jing standing there with a cold face, she couldn't help being stunned, then leaned over and saluted, and called out aggrievedly: "Master."

"You, just do some sneaky things! If you do it again in the future, you will never be lightly forgiven."

Zhu Jing looked at her with a dark face and said.After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhu Zichan again and said, "Zichan, don't learn from your worthless mother in the future."

After speaking, he turned and left.

"..."

Second Yiniang stood there in a daze, lowered her head for a while, and then she shed a tear and said, "Chan'er, what's wrong with mother? Your father wants to treat mother like this!"

"mother!"

Zhu Zichan yelled, and then said: "Don't be sad, when Chan'er grows up, she will definitely punish the prime minister's wife for you, and if it turns out that her father married the mistress again, Chan'er will find a way to get rid of her." If she drives her away, if Dad dares to marry again, Chan'er will drive her away again, so as to vent her anger, how about it?"

Hearing Zhu Zichan's words, Second Auntie's eyes also flashed a vicious look. She looked in the direction where Zhu Jing left, then turned her head and said to Zhu Zichan: "What Chan'er said is that since your father refuses to give mother Opportunities, then we mother and daughter have no choice but to create opportunities for ourselves!"
