Jinyi champion

Chapter 446 Don't treat yourself as an outsider

Zhu Wanhong came to see his father, but Zhu Mingshan scolded him, thinking that he came at an inappropriate time.

After the old lady Zhu Jiashi simply welcomed the waiting crowd, she was worried about the affairs of the inner courtyard, so she found a space to walk to the backyard, and soon the sound of footsteps could be heard outside the moon gate.

"Father, my son only hopes to continue to serve the Ming Dynasty and live up to the mission of the Zhu family for generations to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country!" Zhu Wanhong said these words deliberately for the Zhu Jia family outside the door.

Then the door was opened by Zhu Wanhong from the inside.

Zhu Jiashi looked at his tall son, with some doubts in his eyes, as if he was full of doubts about the eldest son talking to his husband alone.

"Mother."

Zhu Wanhong's tone softened. After hearing Zhu Mingshan's warning, he changed his attitude towards the old lady so as not to reveal the inside story.

Zhu Jiashi nodded slightly: "What did you talk to Naifu about?"

"Mom, let's go out and talk."

While Zhu Wanhong was speaking, he glanced at his father who was on the sickbed with dull eyes, meaning not to disturb the old man's rest, and then went to the back hall with Zhu Jiashi, and at the same time, the deaf-mute eunuch happened to cross Zhu Wanhong.

The two sides did not have any eye contact, but Zhu Wanhong felt a burst of pride. Obviously, Zhu Mingshan's ability to communicate with the outside world was due to this person's internal and external connection.

……

……

In the back hall.

Zhu Wanhong knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Jiashi, showing the appearance of filial piety, and his sincerity moved everyone present.

Then Zhu Jiashi pushed back the people around him and asked about the purpose of his son's return.

Zhu Wanhong was well prepared and talked eloquently.

"...My child has gained the trust of Ping Rubo now, and there are only one or two people in Beizhen Fusi who can hold him down. If Ping Rubo returns to the capital, I may directly take Beizhen Fusi... "

"He... Commander Jiang trusts you so much?"

Zhu Jiashi became more and more puzzled.

Zhu Wanhong said: "The proposal to overthrow Qian Ning with King Ning's affairs was proposed by Hai'er and Ping Lubo, and Hai'er secretly invited the envoy of King Ning to meet Qian Ning, and was deliberately found out by the people of Dongchang. Only then can I be sure that my son is in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han, and he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility."

Zhu Jia frowned: "Then you really risked yourself. If you were to be discovered by Commander Qian, I'm afraid you..."

"I'm not for myself, but for the Zhu family."

Zhu Wanhong almost burst into tears, "My son has been wandering abroad for many years, and he has always wanted to do things for the Zhu family. This time, I was ordered by Uncle Ping to come back to check on my father. Uncle Ping has promised my son that as long as the father cannot perform his duties , there will no longer be Jinyiwei Daiqianhu, but Jinyiwei Qianhu, and it can even go a step further."

Although this reason was far-fetched, Zhu Jiashi didn't hear anything wrong.

Otherwise, what could be the purpose of Zhu Wanhong suddenly running home to meet an old father who has been sick for a long time and can't even speak?
With the wiseness of the old lady, even though she noticed some clues, she still couldn't see through the son of the movie king's skills in front of her.

"My father..."

Zhu Jiashi wanted to ask if your father behaved strangely in front of you, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them.

Zhu Wanhong said: "My son's position is passed down from my father, so my child must be respectful and filial to my father, but it's a pity that I can't serve at the sick bed, and I have to rely more on you, my mother, for family affairs."

After speaking, weeping and kowtowing, his acting skills were raised to another level.

What he said was actually an indirect reminder to my old lady that my position was passed on to me by the old man. If his illness is really cured, I will be deprived of the power at hand. Then I definitely hope that he will stay bedridden, you don’t think I want to help him get up from the sick bed?

The highest state of hinting is not to mention it, not even a hint, but only mentioning a problem of not being able to perform filial piety before the sick bed, but Zhu Jiashi still quickly thought of this level with his own wit and scheming.

In this way, Zhu Jiashi's doubts were completely dispelled.

Thinking about it is right, her husband's condition has improved, which is a gratifying thing for others, but for this eldest son, it is a disaster. After finally gaining Jiang Bin's trust and his current status, is it necessary to make a wedding dress for others?

"My son, you've really worked hard for you these past few years. It's rare to come back this time. Please spend more time with your wife and children. Yong He...hasn't been married to you for many years."

Zhu Jiashi stopped asking others, and began to feel sorry for his son's hard work.

As for whether I really regret it or not, but I have to show the appearance of a loving mother, win over my son's heart, and let my son use it for me.

Zhu Wanhong said: "My son came back this time, but he was ordered to check on his father's condition. Now that the matter is over, it's time to go. Mother, I can't serve my parents around. It's my unfilial piety. I kowtow here!"

After speaking, he acted sincerely, and only after the old lady seemed to have completely dispelled her doubts did Zhu Wanhong get up, turning around in three steps and preparing to leave.

……

……

The front yard of the Zhu family was extremely lively.

There were many neighbors who came to congratulate, because Zhu Jia's intention was to highlight the prominence of Jinyiwei's family of thousands of households. Even though life became increasingly difficult after coming to the capital, he still chose to live in an area where dignitaries gathered.

I heard that someone from the Zhu family passed the Jinshi examination, and most of the people who came to congratulate him were from the gentry class.

Seeing Zhu Wanhong in the official uniform of thousands of households in Jinyiwei again, and the majestic Zhu Wanhong, and a large number of Jinyiwei brought by his side, people are more willing to believe that the Zhu family is now in full swing.

When Zhu Jiashi returned to the front yard, his face was very smug.

"My son, work hard for the court, don't disappoint your ancestors' expectations of you, be loyal to the emperor and love the country, go." Zhu Jia's family performed well in front of them.

Zhu Wanhong did not disappoint his mother's superb acting skills. He knelt down in public and kowtowed to his mother, and then kowtowed to the backyard of his home, which meant that he could not be filial.

After going out, Zhu Wanhong wiped away the almost dry tears from the corners of his eyes.

A confidant next to him approached and whispered: "My lord, is this... too contrived?"

Zhu Wanhong glared at him: "If you don't do these things, you can gain the trust of the people in this yard? Do you really think this yard is a good place? You do what you want!"

The confidant shook his head and smiled wryly: "This is your house, if you go in, it's not justified."

Zhu Wanhong said: "Then meet the spy Lu Dun'er I sent more often. The Zhu family can't think of it. They want the old man's eyes and ears to fail, but they just fell into my way. They found someone who can read lips and talk to me." People who can read and write messages on their palms come back to serve the old man, but I don't know what they said, Lu Dun'er saw them from a distance and told me...

"Hey, why don't they ask the servants in the house to watch over them like they used to, so I can't have any information communication with my father."

The confidant looked embarrassed, even if he didn't say it, but the meaning brought by the expression was, why is your Zhu family like this?It seems that fire and water are incompatible.

Isn't that your parents?
"This is not a place to talk, let's talk in another place, let's go!"

Zhu Wanhong was in a relaxed mood, "My nephew is a Huiyuan, it seems that I should go to congratulate him, maybe I can have a tooth sacrifice and at the same time get some money from the kiln... My nephew is really a Generous Lord, never begrudges money. He won't get fame, who will get fame?"

……

……

Zhu Hao will pass the test, which means that he is about to become a Jinshi, as long as nothing goes wrong in the palace test.

That night Jiang Lun and Tang Yinzhen arranged a celebration banquet, which was held in Su Xigui's theater, because it was held after nightfall, Zhu Si did not attend, and it happened that Su Xigui came from Tongzhou, so it was time for the celebration banquet.

If he just met Zhu Hao alone, Su Xigui didn't shy away from anything, but because Tang Yin, Jiang Lun, Lu Song and other members of the royal family attended the celebration banquet, he had to be more cautious and learn how he did when he met Zhu Sishi before. , made it very mysterious, and waited for a long time to be seated here before he knocked on the secret door, and Lu Song went to open the door to welcome him in.

Tang Yin said: "Su Dongzhu, what are you doing?"

Su Xigui first saluted the few people present, respectfully: "I am a reckless person who doesn't know the rules, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for noble people to talk in the future, so I asked someone to add a secret door here, and outsiders will never see it."

Holding the wine glass, Jiang Lun staggered up to Su Xigui: "Su Dongzhu, I have known you for a long time, and I heard that you are very good at business. It seems that you spent your money on Mr. Zhu Xiao, and you not only got your money back, but also made money." Quite a few."

Su Xigui naturally recognized Jiang Lun, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Jiang is joking, where did I ever spend money on Mr. Zhu? It was all thanks to his care, which allowed me to earn a little money. Now it's time to reciprocate."

"you……"

Jiang Lun still wanted to break up.

Tang Yin reminded: "Meng Zai, be careful, don't drink some cat urine and think that you are immortal again. Dongzhu Su is Huang Shilang's brother-in-law, why do you need to make friends with Zhu Hao to add glory to his face? Come back soon..."

"Ah? This... Then everyone sit down and talk."

Jiang Lun doesn't listen to other people's words, but he obeys Tang Yin's words.

This is a brainless person who deeply worships people with great wisdom. In addition, Tang Yin is a drinking buddy with him, so he would not be ashamed to scold him directly. If someone else said this, he would have already taken it Head bumped.

"Su Dongzhu, please sit down."

Tang Yin issued an invitation.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the few in front of you are all officials, I'm just a mediocre..."

What Su Xigui means is that even if you Tang Yin is not an official, you are also a recruiter, and even a member of the Xingwang Palace, Zhu Hao is already a tribute, Jiang Lun and Lu Song are both officials, even if Jiang Lun is a loose official, everyone knows that he is in Zhang When Jing Ming is not around, it is equivalent to half of the long history of the palace. The people in this room... just me, a merchant, has no status, so I won't sit at the same table with you.

Jiang Lun said: "Old Su, you are out of touch. We are all from our own family. Why do we have official status...Old Tang, why don't you hurry up and pour Lao Su some wine?"

Tang Yin picked up the jug with a smile and was about to pour wine, Su Xigui here was in a panic.

No matter how you say it, Tang Yin is a well-known talent all over the world, so how can he serve a white man with wine?He hurriedly took the flagon and poured himself a glass.

Tang Yin laughed and said: "Meng Zai is like this, he doesn't see anyone after drinking, but what he said is correct, Su Dongzhu has a deep relationship with Xing Wangfu, and he knew Zhu Hao even at a young age, and now Zhu Hao is short of the gold list Title, you can be regarded as appreciative of him, in the future, get closer and walk around, don't treat yourself as an outsider."
