Chapter 38
Negotiations are going well.

Zhu Jia's family was afraid that Zhu Niang would force her son to enter the Xing Palace with death, and Zhu Niang was afraid that Zhu Hao would be brought back to the family, so they lived a life of darkness.

In an atmosphere of mutual compromise, the two sides negotiated the final conditions. When Zhu Jiashi came out of the main room and went to the backyard and opened the door to go out, Zhu Wanjian found that his mother's face was full of anger.

"go!"

Zhu Jiashi said the next sentence, and the man stepped forward.

Zhu Wanjian peeked into the yard, but saw Aunt Li coming over to close the door, she couldn't help but anxiously said: "Mother, why are you leaving? Why don't you take that kid home? This matter...is that all?"

Butler Liu teased Zhu Wanjian, wanting to remind him that the old lady has her own discretion, since she chose to enter the house for a discussion, she must come out only after she has a result, so why are you talking too much?
Zhu Jia glared at his son, and said, "You're so stupid, don't use your stinky mouth in the future, if you don't speak, others won't know that you are as stupid as a pig."

Zhu Wanjian didn't expect to be scolded by his mother, and he didn't realize it for a while. When he recovered, his mother had already walked for a while, and hurried to catch up to argue: "Mother, what do you mean by this? Why is the child so stupid? What do I say and do, not all for the sake of the family?"

Liu Guanjia said: "Second Master, there are some things you should distinguish the occasion, what should be said and what should not be said, and you should think carefully."

"Why didn't I think about it clearly? That woman is the widow of my Zhu family, so why don't you give her a face? Mother... What do you mean?"

Zhu Wanjian looked resolute.

Zhu Jia didn't bother to turn around, and said angrily: "I don't know what to say or do when I say the wrong thing, what is it not to be stupid? With your qualifications, you still want to take charge of the family business? I'm afraid that if you grow up, the whole family will be destroyed in your hands." ...I did all this to let your elder brother return to Anlu earlier, only he can lead the Zhu family to survive, and in the future, he must inherit the position of Jinyiwei's thousand households!"

……

……

After Zhu Niang sent Zhu Jiashi away, her heart was heavy.

When she understood that her son had entered the Xing Palace as a secret agent to spy on the Zhu family, she could no longer feel at ease, but she could only endure the grievance in her heart and acted strong in front of her son.

Aunt Li went in without knowing it, and began to help Zhu Hao organize his outfit for entering Xingwang's mansion the day after tomorrow.

"...the schoolbag was made by your mother herself, "Four Books" and "Five Classics" are all new books bought from bookstores, and the Four Treasures of the Study, all of which are exquisite... Brother Hao, you have to study hard. "

"Okay, Auntie!"

While agreeing to Aunt Li, Zhu Hao glanced at Zhu Niang from the corner of his eye.

But seeing Zhu Niang crying secretly, Zhu Hao sighed in his heart, and walked over to comfort him: "Mother, I have already said that it is a good thing to enter the palace of the king. Not only can I study, but I can also get close to the little prince... From now on, I will have a good relationship with him." Alright, he will definitely give me a hand when he makes his fortune."

Zhu Niang looked at her son who was all smiles, frowning.

"Ma'am, is there... something wrong?" Aunt Li didn't quite understand the joint.

Zhu Niang shook her head and said: "Xiaohao, when you enter the palace, mother can't stay by your side all the time. When you are bullied, tell mother when you go home, mother will find a way to get you out of the sea of ​​suffering."

Zhu Hao laughed and said, "What are you talking about? I'm going to enjoy the blessings. In the future, I will bring my mother to enjoy the blessings. I will fight for my mother's life so that I won't suffer. With my brain, it's just to prevent others from suffering." Okay, others still want to take advantage of me? No way!"

……

……

The words say so.

But Zhu Hao knew that he would not have a good life in Xingwang Mansion.

The background of the Zhu family will become a stumbling block for him to gain a foothold in the palace.

In the morning of the next day, Zhu Hao ran to the Flower and Bird Market. After waiting all afternoon, Zhu San did not show up. When he was about to leave, he saw a few sneaky people gathering together to discuss something. Walked into the teahouse.

Zhu Hao followed in as if nothing had happened. Judging by his age, he was absolutely harmless to humans and animals, and the group of people were not alert.

But Zhu Hao didn't dare to take it too seriously, and got too close to this group of people, pretending to find someone to go up to the second floor.

There were six people in this group, and they sat down on a window seat with a wide view on the first floor. They seemed to belong to two parties, exchanging news in a low voice, and occasionally the word "wangfu" could be heard.

The waiter in the teahouse was scolded when serving tea in the past.

Seeing that there was no way to find out more information, Zhu Hao went upstairs and walked around for a while to avoid alarming others. He walked out through the gate of the teahouse in a leisurely manner.

"It seems that there are more than one family staring at Prince Xing's Mansion. I wonder if they are related to the Zhu family?" Zhu Hao felt more and more that the land in Anlu was not flat.

It's normal to think about it. Emperor Zhengde has not had a child for a long time. It is also reasonable that Xingwangfu, who is the most hopeful to take over the throne, is being watched closely.

Zhu Hao took a few steps forward, and couldn't help but look back at the gate of Prince Xing's Mansion. It didn't matter. An acquaintance was looking for something. Lu Bing, who joined him in the selection exam for accompanying students in the palace.

"Hey!"

Zhu Hao walked over, stood beside the road and shouted, which shocked Lu Bing a lot.

"Ah? It's you."

Lu Bing obviously didn't come here for Zhu Hao, he was a little flustered suddenly when he saw Zhu Hao, and then he grinned.

Zhu Hao asked: "Why are you here? You are so young, you are not afraid of being abducted when you go out to hang out?"

Lu Bing was young and often cried, but when he heard the words, he had a smug expression on his face. He held his head high and said, "I practiced martial arts when I was young, and my father also practiced martial arts. I'm not afraid..."

Looking around, he asked again, "Have you...have you seen a rabbit seller?"

Zhu Hao immediately realized that Lu Bing took the exam with him, failed the second round of exams, but was selected internally, and he "performed his duties" faster than him, and now he probably has successfully become a companion. Zhu Si ordered to act.

How else can I say that they are related households?

"Is there anything you can do with the rabbit seller?" Zhu Hao asked.

"I... I listened to my young master's orders, and went out to find a rabbit seller, and told him if I had something to say." Lu Bing had no plans, and he knew Zhu Hao well, so he didn't shy away from it at all.

Zhu Hao looked around and made sure that Lu Bing was not a bait deliberately released by someone, then he said with a smile: "You are such a little guy, it is dangerous to go out to find someone, why don't you tell me what you want to say to the rabbit seller, I'll look for it for you later, and let him know by the way."

"Then...thank you."

Lu Bing was really caught, and he looked grateful, "Actually, it's nothing, but the young master asked me to come out to find the rabbit seller. He said that the man was not very old, and he was probably... about the same as you. Tell him that the palace is no fun." Yes, want to study somewhere else... Hey, do you know what I'm talking about?"

When Zhu Hao heard it, did Zhu San or Zhu Si issue a "warning" to him?
Why does it sound so awkward?

"I understand, I will tell him for you." Zhu Hao grinned.

Lu Bing nodded, as if he had completed his task, he turned around and was about to leave.

Zhu Hao said: "By the way, your name is Lu Bing, right? You have also chosen to be a companion? According to Mr. Jiang, I am also one of the companions."

Lu Bing said happily: "That's great, we will play together in the future... It's just that you are older than me, and we may not be able to play together."

"Study and play together, I can protect you when I'm old...Although you have practiced martial arts since childhood, my family is not bad, and I come from a serious military family. Let's help each other in the future, what do you think?" Zhu Hao tried to win him over. Lu Bing.

Lu Bing nodded hurriedly.

In the eyes of the ignorant little guy, having Zhu Hao as a friend is a very good thing.

"Then let's make an agreement, I will enter the palace tomorrow, and the son of the magistrate of Jing County will also be selected. He is not very friendly to us, and we will join forces to deal with him in the future." Zhu Hao said.

"Uh-huh."

Lu Bing remembered Mr. Jing's rebellious appearance, and his little eyes became a little more vigilant for a moment.

For a child, it is very clear who is an enemy or a friend. Zhu Hao has helped him, so he is a friend, and Mr. Jing has frightened him. In his eyes, he is definitely not a good person.

So before Zhu Hao formally entered Xingwang's mansion, he recruited Lu Bing as an "ally". Whether it is worth mentioning, this kid is young and his brain is not enough, so it is possible to help inquire about the news and pass on some information.

And after hearing the warning from Zhu San or Zhu Si, Zhu Hao realized that he might not be able to become a real companion in a short time after he entered the palace, and it was very important to have a "person of his own" to deliver the news.

……

……

The next day.

Accompanied by Yusan, Zhu Hao officially embarked on the road of being a companion in Jinxing Palace.

Zhu Niang did not see him off in person.

Perhaps it was because the parting was too sad, and the road was not far away, and it was in the city, but because Xingwang's mansion was like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and Zhu Hao was carrying a family mission, Zhu Niang felt that she owed her son, and she was even more unwilling to face it head-on.

When Zhu Hao was on the road, he thought about what Lu Bing had said to him.

It was agreed to ask Zhu San or Zhu Si to help and let him enter Xing Wangfu as an accompanying student, but in fact the two did not really contribute in the selection, they only helped in promoting the selection, but why should he be reminded to stay away from Xing Wangfu Woolen cloth?

There was only one explanation. One of the two should have heard something unfavorable to Zhu Hao, but couldn't say it clearly, so Lu Bing came out to speak.

With this level of suspicion, when he entered the east gate of the Xing Palace, the careful Zhu Hao found all kinds of inappropriate things.

"Zhu Hao? I know you're a book boy for the prince, this way... don't look around, this is the Xingwang mansion, not a vegetable market, if you break the rules, your legs will be broken..."

Those who received Zhu Hao were the disciples of the Wangfu.

Unlike the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate, the palace does not usually receive visiting officials, and no one comes to ask for intercession. The gate is purely a decoration.

This person doesn't seem to have much status, but his words and deeds have a weathervane meaning to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao shook his face when he saw this door coming up, and he knew that the situation was not good... He entered the palace as a prince's companion, not for any other reason, as for being arrogant and prestige with a child?
That can only show that the identity of my Zhu Haozhu family is known even to the family members, and they are very wary of me.

Zhu Hao didn't expect that when he first arrived, he would be included in the list of "hostile forces" by Xing Wangfu.

In this situation, do you still want to get close to Zhu Houcong?

I'm afraid it's not whimsical.

Zhu Hao followed the door through the east courtyard and came to the center of a low courtyard courtyard.

The door stopped, pointed to a small room in the back, and said, "That room you live in."

Zhu Hao cupped his hands and asked, "Brother, can I ask, do the other two people I chose to study with me also live here?"

Menzi said impatiently: "Why are you asking so much? There is food, drink, and shelter here. If you don't starve to death, why bother with others? Listen carefully, you must not enter the front door, and you will be caught...Hmph."

"I know, I was caught and broke my leg."

Zhu Hao was very calm, and said flatly: "But you should also tell me, where is this?"

The door said: "This is where the servants of the Wangfu live. Next to it is the firewood room. If you have nothing to do, go chop firewood and exercise your body...Anyway, someone will tell you what to do next!"

 This chapter is still a pre-release chapter. If there is no accident, today is Monday. The emperor continues to ask for favorites, recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, and reward support!After a hundred days of injury, the emperor doesn't know when he will be discharged from the hospital, so let's just leave it at that!
