One hundred and fifty-ninth chapter old reunion
When Xu Huizu heard about Jing Qing being assassinated at home, he remembered: He had seen that dwarf named Fang Zhongyi!
Previously, Xu Huizu went to play a good match with Confucian scholar Fang Xiaoru. Fang Xiaoru took off his left and left, leaving only a dwarf, and also introduced the origin of the dwarf Fang Zhongyi, which was the stinger!
At this time, Xu Huizu couldn't help but sigh: "The court's lords are not as good as a dwarf who understands the great righteousness!"
"Please be careful of your words." The person who came to report the news whispered.
Xu Huizu sneered, he was not afraid at all. As soon as the capital was broken, someone wanted to capture him. He took out the iron card for immunity from Taizu and said that he was a founding hero, and even the Jinyiwei dared not touch him!
Now Yan Ni can only lock him up in the mansion and want to cut him off his title.
...The people in Jingfu wore mourning, and there was a sound of mourning. Jingshi Jing's mourning hall had been set up, and ministers from the court had come to mourn one after another. The first ones were Yang Rong, Jian Yi and others. They not only expressed their sadness, but also had a faint feeling of sadness from the rabbit to the death of the fox.
When the people who came and said to Mrs. Jing, they looked at the little girl kneeling beside her. Yang Rong even looked at the beautiful woman more than one glance, and was absent-minded in talking to Mrs. Jing. But no one recommended a little girl to the guest.
The stunning little girl in a mourning dress is Miao Jin. She is wearing a white mourning dress, so simple that she is not dressed up at all, but she is naturally gorgeous, and her pear blossoms look a little pitiful.
She was entangled in her heart at this time. She was sad and felt a little glad that her family was spared from death. But just as she thought of this, she quickly removed these distracting thoughts... It was so rebellious! She was very afraid, and she didn't know why she was so bad. She had such an idea when her father died. She was simply unfaithful and unfilial!
So many ministers who surrendered to the King of Yan came to sigh, which made Miao Jin feel even more ridiculous. My father was going to kill the King of Yan, but now he has become the loyal minister of the King of Yan...
Once her father died, Miaojin didn't have to die. She knelt in the mourning hall, and thought that she had lost her chastity before she got married, and was the son of someone her father hated, and she felt even more ashamed.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "The Lord is here!"
The relatives and relatives in the mourning hall, as well as the guests who came to mourn, were all surprised. The emperor actually came to the scene in person, which was a great kindness. Yang Rong, Jian Yi and others all showed relief. The emperor was still very sincere to those people from the previous dynasty, and did not only care about the people from the Yan Palace.
A large group of people immediately walked out of the mourning hall and went to welcome the car.
The gate of Jing Mansion was wide open, and the emperor's sedan chair was carried straight into the mansion. Zhu Di got off the sedan chair and said, "I'll just be calm. I'll be mourning for the change on Madam's Day..." Zhu Di talked to Madam Jing, but his eyes suddenly looked at Miao Jin behind him. His eyes lit up slightly, "Isn't this Xu Miao Jin?"
Miao Jin had to step forward and bent her knees. For some reason, she looked much more charming and beautiful than when she was in the Yan Prince's Mansion, and seemed to be more charming, even though she was wearing a plain white dress.
Zhu Di was slightly stunned and hurriedly said, "The princess always talks about you, Jing Jing's funeral has been completed, so you can go to the palace to see the princess."
"Abide by the order." Miao Jin lowered her head and said.
Zhu Di immediately turned to look at Mrs. Jing and said generously, "Let Censor Jing rest in the spring. I want to give Mrs. Jing an imperial edict, so that my loyal ministers and families will not be left to support."
Mrs. Jing hurriedly knelt down and said, "I'll thank you for your kindness."
After hearing this, Miao Jin knelt there and felt a little dizzy. This morning, he was worried that his whole family would be killed by the King of Yan. Now the King of Yan actually came to reward their family. Things in the world always caught people off guard from time to time.
...
I heard that when Jing Qing’s family held a funeral, the prince Gao Chi also went to mourn. But Zhu Gaoxu did not go... What was the idea of doing such a small move? My father would immediately understand. Otherwise, if the father was so busy, what would he do in Jing’s house? It was just a win over people’s hearts... And doing such a thing was blatantly bribed!
After a while, Zhu Gaoxu waited for his jade shop to be redecorated and went to do his own "buy and deal".
Chen Dachui drove the car, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't take anyone, so he only brought Du Qianrui.
Du Qianrui knew enough secrets, including the matter of Junyingcao, and even Guan Miaojin in the wine cellar... She lived in the inner hall of the Prince's Mansion of Peking for half a year, and probably knew more or less. Zhu Gaoxu trusted her very much.
The jade shop was basically just like Zhu Gaoxu designed it. A rammed earth brick and stone staircase was built on the front door, and the lobby was the second floor from the stone staircase. The walls under the ladder had been blocked, leaving only a corridor.
Chen Dachui got out of the carriage and opened the door of the corridor, and rushed the carriage straight into the courtyard. Zhu Gaoxu and Du Qianrui, who were sitting in the carriage, didn't even have to show their faces.
Zhu Gaoxu walked off the carriage and reached out to help Du Qianrui down. At this time, the carriage was large wooden wheels, high above the ground. Zhu Gaoxu felt that it was taller than later urban off-road, and it was really inconvenient for women to wear long skirts.
After he got down, he walked to the front and said, "I mentioned Wang Zhenliang's mansion two days ago. Do you still remember the location of the sledgehammer?"
Chen Daichik nodded and said, "On the other side of the Shogfu Mountain."
"Very good." Zhu Gaoxu took out an empty envelope from his arms, with only his own words: "Old friend." He handed it to Chen Dachui and said, "Go to see Wang Zhenliang and ask him to come here to reminisce about the past."
Chen Dahui clasped his fists and said, "The last one will be ordered!"
Zhu Gaoxu said to Du Qianrui again: "Miss Du is skillful and the oysters she made last time are delicious. I asked someone to buy some more, and Chen Dahui sent them here. Today I have to trouble Miss Du to make another meal and entertain my cousin." He smiled, "Our cousins were playmates when they were children, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to eat the dishes made by Miss Du."
Du Qianrui bent her knees slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go and prepare now."
Zhu Gaoxu walked to the second floor lobby from the wooden stairs in the yard. Before the door was opened, he closed it with wooden boards. He picked a few pieces of turbid jade and threw them into two petals on the spot. One petal was put on the wooden lattice and put the other petals into his arms.
He had finished carving the broken jade, so he found a hall, walked into another study room with jade pendants, and sat down and waited.
After waiting for a long time, Chen Dachui went upstairs to find Zhu Gaoxu and reported that Wang Zhenliang had arrived. Zhu Gaoxu walked to the wooden stairs in the yard, clasped his fists and said, "Cousin, are you okay?"
"Shang Hao Shang Hao. Thank you for your concern." Wang Zhenliang also bowed and smiled. But Zhu Gaoxu immediately found that he was smiling a little reluctantly.
So Zhu Gaoxu welcomed Wang Zhenliang to the study room just now, sat down next to a few cases, and said, "Ling Zun came out of the imperial prison, are you in good health now?"
"It's not a big deal." Wang Zhenliang pondered for a moment and said, "It's true that my father was arrested by the Jinyiwei and had to confess some people, which led to many traitors in the King of Yan's Mansion being killed. Later, before Governor Xu was killed, Jianwenjun personally interrogated his father..."
"Oh!" Zhu Gaoxu nodded suddenly.
The prince-consor Wang Ning was in danger and took the risk to sit at the side of the Yan Palace. Now that he succeeded, he actually believed in the Buddha... Zhu Gaoxu then realized that the mystery was here.
"Cousin, don't worry too much, the prince-consort should be fine." Zhu Gaoxu said kindly.
Wang Zhenliang refused to comment. No matter what, the Wang family’s previous contributions were almost in vain!
Zhu Gaoxu immediately took out half of the broken jade and handed it to Wang Zhenliang and said, "If my cousin wants to see me in the future, come to this jade shop. If the shop is closed, throw half of the jade into the crack of the window; if it is open, you will spend ten-cent treasure money to buy half of the jade in the shop. When we meet, then return these things to our original place. By the way, the warehouse on Xiaozi Street a few years ago was still in the hands of my cousin?"
Wang Zhenliang nodded and said, "It's still the two old couples who are guarding."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "That's fine. If I want to have a cousin Xu Jiu, I will take half of the jade to Xiaozi Street and close the half in your hand."
Wang Zhenliang glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, "King Gaoyang is thoughtful."
Zhu Gaoxu said quietly, "If I could help you, I would do my best to repay my cousin for helping me."
After hearing this, Wang Zhenliang said, "It's just a matter of raising hands, I dare not."
"I remember my cousin was the assistant minister of the Jinyiwei?" Zhu Gaoxu asked again.
Wang Zhenliang said: "Now we, father and son, have all stepped down and are idle at home."
"It's okay. I took the initiative to invite you today, just want to hear the anecdotes and interesting stories in the officialdom during the Jianwen Dynasty. Can you tell me about it?" Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.
"My foolish brother must have said everything." Wang Zhenliang bowed.
At this moment, Du Qianrui, wearing a light red silk skirt and a big red silk belt, walked in, holding a wooden plate with a pot of hot oysters with garlic oil, a thin-necked wine pot, two wine glasses, and two pairs of chopsticks. She gently put the things on several tables one by one, and then bent her knees and said, "Prince, Wang Zheng, please use it slowly."
Wang Zhenliang turned his head to look at Du Qianrui, opened his mouth, pointed at her for a long time and couldn't tell her name, "What are you calling..."
"Little woman Du Qianrui." She whispered.
"Yes! Yes!" Wang Zhenliang looked at her, turned to look at Zhu Gaoxu again, and smiled, "Ha, King Gaoyang is really a person with a temperament. How did he get the girls from Fuleyuan here too?"
"It's a long story," Zhu Gaoxu smiled, "But our meeting today is because of Xu Jiu, so we must be old friends. Even if we meet by chance, we can meet again somewhere else after a few years. Isn't it a different feeling?"
Wang Zhenliang smiled and said, "King Gaoyang is really a wonderful person!"
Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself: I think your father is a wonderful person.
He then said, "I don't know if the oysters made by Miss Du personally are made at this time, nor do I know if they are suitable for my cousin's taste. Try them first and then talk about them!"
"King Gaoyang, please." Wang Zhenliang said.
Chapter completed!
