Chapter 146 Chopping Tofu With a Blunt Knife

Zhu San couldn't take it anymore, and asked: "If you invite a talented person like Tang Bohu to be our teacher, what do you need Mr. Gongsun for?"

To Gongsunyi, these words were a torture from the soul.

Originally, he thought that Tang Yin was in the palace, so he could learn from him and ask for advice as a junior. Even if it didn't help his reputation in the literary world, it would always help him in the exam, right?

Now I found out that the two children in the palace saw that he was not good enough, so why pretend to be a wolf with a big tail?
Yuan Zonggao said with a smile: "Don't you also say that Tang Bohu is so talented, why would you only let him be your teacher? Naturally, there are more important things waiting for him to do in the Palace... Could it be that you don't like this person entering the Palace?"

Zhu Si hurriedly said: "No, no, we very much hope that Mr. Tang will be our teacher."

"It's Mr. Lu, you have to remember that."

Yuan Zonggao immediately corrected Zhu Si's statement, "It's not appropriate for him to reveal his identity now...Feng Yuan, you can't spread the news that he came to the palace as an official, and don't mention it to your family, you understand?"

Gongsun Yi nodded hastily, he belongs to that kind of thick-skinned, as long as he is allowed to stay in the Palace, let alone reveal the secret of Tang Yin's visit to the Palace, he is willing to do even the most difficult things.

Zhu San asked: "What about Zhu Hao? Isn't Zhu Hao by Mr. Lu's side? Doesn't he come back to study with us? If he can't enter the palace, it means that we have deprived him of the opportunity to continue studying with Mr. Lu. unfair!"

"Correct!"

Zhu Si also chimed in beside him.

Yuan Zonggao seemed to have expected that the two children would say this, nodded and said: "Zhu Hao will come back together, and Jinghong will come back at the same time, but it depends on whether they are willing."

"Great!"

Zhu Si waved his arms and cheered.

Zhu San was also very happy and continued to applaud and celebrate.

It seems that everything will return to the state of years ago, when everyone in the classroom will be there, the school will return to the usual lively scene, and there will be an "omnipotent" Tang Yin. For children, this configuration is simply It is a combination of learning and entertainment, the best choice.

It's much better than the dead atmosphere in the classroom now.

After Yuan Zonggao finished speaking, he said earnestly: "Okay, you guys continue to study...Feng Yuan, come out with this old man."

When Gongsun Yi walked out with Yuan Zonggao, he drooped his head. When he saw Zhu San and Zhu Si covering their mouths and snickering, he felt ashamed.

……

……

yard.

Yuan Zonggao said some words of encouragement, which meant that Gongsun Yi could teach Zhu San and Zhu Si with peace of mind.

"There is one thing, I won't hide it from you anymore. In fact, Zhu San is not the eldest son, she is the princess of the palace...Zhu Si is the eldest son of King Xing."

When Yuan Zonggao said this, he carefully observed Gongsunyi's reaction.

Gongsun Yi was taken aback: "It's so?"

Gongsunyi's performance was not too extreme. In Yuan Zonggao's opinion, Gongsunyi really didn't notice it before.

This can only show that Gongsun Yi's level is really not good. After getting along with Zhu San and Zhu Si for a few months, he never suspected that there was something wrong with the identity of the two little ones?On the contrary, it was Zhu Hao, who had figured out his real identity just by a few words when they first met.

the difference...

"This time Tang Yin came to the palace, Feng Yuan, you should seek advice from him more, it will be of great help to your future imperial examination and promotion, and you must settle down well at home."

Yuan Zonggao said something that Gongsun Yi didn't quite understand.

Gongsun Yi was even more puzzled, why did the palace use cover-ups to cover up the identities of Zhu San and Zhu Si before, but now they tell the truth?
From this, it can be imagined that what the palace is worried about is the leakage of the identity of the eldest son, but what does this matter have to do with his unknown teacher?

Seeing Gongsun Yi's bewildered look, Yuan Zonggao couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

I have never experienced political turmoil, and I don’t know how dangerous the court struggle is. Gongsun Yi seems to be a political idiot and is useless, but this is what Yuan Zonggao admires him. It is a good thing for young people to understand these things. ...Even Jin Yiwei didn't even bother to contact and win over. It can only be said that Gongsun Yi is a bit too "harmless to humans and animals".

……

……

The day when Tang Yin entered the palace was February [-]th, on this day Zhu Hao would go back to the palace to study with him.

Zhu Hao decided that the whole family would go to the city on the same day and "go home" aboveboard. Of course, he knew that doing so would bring some unpredictable "consequences", which required him to make arrangements in advance.

Zhu's Manor.

It was high in the sun, and Zhu Wanjian hadn't gotten up yet, when he heard a servant's summons from outside: "Second master, the old lady asked you to go over, saying that she has some important instructions."

Zhu Wanjian was so annoyed that she drove the concubine away, put on a coat casually, and followed the servants to the back hall.

At this time, Zhu Jiashi and Liu Steward had been waiting for a long time.

"Mother, why disturb people's dreams so early in the morning?" Zhu Wanjian was still angry about getting up.

Zhu Jiashi didn't answer, and looked sideways at Butler Liu.

Although Zhu Jiashi had a lot of doubts about Butler Liu, but she had always brought Steward Liu from her natal family to be close to her.

Liu Guanjia said: "Second master is like this, someone saw the third wife's family returning to the city."

"What?" Zhu Wanjian's eyes widened when she heard that, "The woman has the guts to come back? But she is already kneeling outside the village, begging for mother's forgiveness?"

This time, before Butler Liu could answer, Zhu Jiashi sneered and said, "You really don't know much about the world... At the beginning she had the courage to take her son away, but now that she has come back in an open and honest manner, it is clear that she is determined to draw a line with the Zhu family. Want to make amends? Now that you have returned to the courtyard of Lao San's house... this is a demonstration against Lao San!"

Zhu Niang's family did not shy away from returning to the city, and returned home grandly.

In Zhu Jiashi's view, it was clearly a provocation.

At first he ran away without saying hello, but now he came back with great fanfare, did he make up his mind to break with the family?

Zhu Wanjian said: "That mother, don't you hurry up and send someone to arrest that woman and take care of her?"

Butler Liu said helplessly: "Did the second master forget that the third lady left a letter when she left Anlu, stating that she took her son to go on a study tour... She didn't make any big mistakes, even if she wants to be held accountable, she has to find a reason... Shall I ask the old lady to go and find out in person?"

Zhu Wanjian didn't understand at first, how could this be my ignorance?
He didn't want to understand that Zhu Niang was able to take care of her husband's property on her own because Sanfang was separated from Zhu's family. This was the decision made by Zhu Mingshan, the head of the family.

Now he is an independent individual, as long as there are relevant documents and directions, even if it is unreasonable to leave, it is not illegal.

Originally, it was just a matter of one sentence for the old mother to punish her daughter-in-law, but the problem is that she is a chaste woman, and there was such a big disturbance before, if you want to take her down and use family law, things will definitely cause big troubles.

Zhu Jiashi didn't bother to explain to his son, so he sternly said: "Pack up your clothes, and go to the old third's house in the city with me...you are not allowed to say a word without my mother's permission."

Zhu Wanjian knew at a glance that he was not liked by his old lady, and after a disdainful sound from the corner of his mouth, he remained silent, as if he really would not say a word from now on.

……

……

Zhujia rice shop.

After Zhu Niang came back, a large crowd gathered at the door to watch.

Many people point and point.

Before, the Zhu family made a fuss with the government due to a dispute over property, and called the village elders and Fang Lao to go to the county government office, saying that they wanted to transfer the ownership of the land and house. There were also rumors that Zhu Niang ran away with her concubine, and it was clear that she was throwing dirt on Zhu Niang. water.

Even if the neighbors don't believe it, but now that Zhu Niang is back, and the internal turmoil in the Zhu family is imminent, they all guess that there may be a farce about to be staged, and they are all waiting to see the good show.

For the ordinary people who lack the resources to talk after dinner, how long would it be better not to join in the fun?
The shop has not opened yet, and the door panels have not been finished. It seems that Zhu Niang also knows that the news of her return will reach the Zhu family soon, and the Zhu family will definitely send someone to come.

Just as people were waiting bored, there was a commotion at the end of the street, someone shouted "Come, come", and then the whole street was running, and soon the Zhu family appeared.

Zhu Jiashi's carriage was in front, followed by two carriages, house slaves, long-term workers, tenants and other thirty or forty people ran and followed all the way, all holding sticks in their hands.

"Don't look, what's there to watch? Get out of the way!" Seeing so many people watching, Steward Liu hurried forward to shout as if he was waiting for the big show to start.

But his words...

There is no binding force at all, and the number of onlookers has not decreased but increased.

You won't let us see?

funny!

Our dried fruit tea and small benches are all ready, and we are waiting for the first big show of the new year to be staged. At this time, even people from the government will not work.

The people of your Zhu family control the sky, the ground, the air, and our neighbors standing in public places?

We don't believe that your family slave dared to beat someone on the spot!

Zhu Jiashi got off the carriage, and the crowd automatically moved out of the way.

Zhu Jia's eyes swept around, and everyone who made eye contact with him lowered their heads or turned their heads to one side.Zhu Jiashi gave a cold snort, and led the people to the door of the rice shop, and was about to let people go up and break the door forcibly, when Zhu Niang took the initiative to move the door panel aside to get out of the way.

"Why are you here, mother?"

After Zhu Niang saw Zhu Jiashi, her heart beat, but her face remained calm.

Zhu Jia's face was gloomy, and he kept silent. Since he came to fight Zhu Niang, he couldn't leave any room. He went straight into the rice shop, looked around, and asked, "Where is my grandson?"

Straight to the point.

If you dare to run away with your son, I will take your son back to the family to suffer. From then on, you two don't want to see each other again!

Zhu Niang said respectfully: "Xiaohao has returned to Xingwang's residence."

"what?"

Zhu Jiashi was full of murderous aura. Hearing this sentence, his aura suddenly weakened a lot.

Zhu Niang explained calmly: "The daughter-in-law told her before that Xiao Hao once worshiped a Mr. Lu as his teacher...Mr. Lu was born in a family, and now he is appreciated by the Xing Wang Mansion, and he entered the Wang Mansion as a teacher. Take them into the palace to study together, this time we are returning to Anlu with Mr. Lu."

Zhu Jiashi was immediately discouraged.

If Zhu Hao returns to Prince Xing's Mansion, it means that the Zhu family has new eyeliner in the palace, and because Mr. Lu is Zhu Hao's husband, he may be able to win over and be used by the Zhu family...

"Third daughter-in-law, do you want your son to go to school? Do you think your mother will believe this kind of nonsense?" Just when Zhu Jia was planning that the Zhu family was about to gain both fame and fortune, a question suddenly occurred to him, and his face changed violently. Rebuke.

Are you insulting my age, my brain doesn't work?
Or do you think everyone in my Zhu family is as easy to fool as my second son?

Make up a nonsense and I will believe it?
I don't think about it!

Zhu Niang said: "If you don't believe me, you can go and ask, Mr. Lu has brought Xiaohao into the palace today. Besides... my daughter-in-law has prepared the contract for the shop, the back yard, and dozens of acres of land outside the city. The mother accepts it, and from now on all the property left by the husband will belong to the Zhu family, and the daughter-in-law will no longer fight, but I also ask the mother not to interfere with Zhu Hao's study, and the daughter-in-law will raise him well!"
