Jinyi champion

Chapter 505 Hetou Wine (Add More)

The capital, the Zhu family.

After Zhu Wanjian followed the Zhu family to the capital, he was basically out of work, and the money in his hand was getting less and less day by day.

I used to count on the colored glaze beads business to make money, but now no one wants those things for free.

"Fourth, what are you doing?"

Zhu Wanjian couldn't go out without money, and he was moaning and sighing at home all day long. On a sunny day, he was about to take someone out to see if anyone could have a meal with him, when Zhu Wanquan hurried into the inner courtyard.

Zhu Wanquan said as he walked: "Second brother, go out and have a look, the person who announces the good news is here!"

Zhu Wanjian frowned: "What's the good news? Big brother has been promoted?"

Zhu Wanquan smiled wryly and said, "It's still Zhu Hao, the child of the third elder brother's family...he...he won the number one prize this time."

"Going crazy again in broad daylight... Eh, he really won the number one prize?"

Zhu Wanjian learned how to behave.

In the past, when he heard about the unreasonable things that happened to Zhu Hao, he must first sneer and ridicule Zhu Hao and his mother from a high place he thought he was. Slap yourself in the face every time.

This time, of course, I should have followed the old routine, and made a mockery first, but as soon as I said it, I immediately realized, how can someone announce the good news if they don't win the first prize?
Besides, Zhu Hao already won the first place in the test, isn't it a natural thing to be the number one?

Zhu Wanquan ran to the courtyard in a hurry: "All the people from Shuntian Mansion have come to announce the good news, how can there be a fake? Come on, where is mother? I want to see mother immediately."

"Don't."

Zhu Wanjian quickly pulled the fourth brother back, "Fourth brother, mother is in a bad mood recently, won't you add fuel to the flames?"

Zhu Jiashi has indeed been depressed recently.

Someone in the family of the person who was ordered to monitor is now the emperor, which means that after half a lifetime of hard work, he has now become the lord of Ming Dynasty, so... will the Zhu family who are against him have a good end?
The old lady likes to pretend to be sick when she has nothing to do, and this time it will be no exception. She announced that she has fallen ill, but in fact she hides in the inner courtyard and plans to send out the people who can be mobilized to do something to prepare for the future of the Zhu family.

It is best to run away first before the emperor makes a move, find a place where no one knows and hide your name, or even escape overseas is also a good choice.

Zhu Wanquan said: "Can you not tell mother about such a big matter? Mother! Mother!"

As he spoke, he yelled.

Zhu Wanjian was about to stop him, but saw Zhu Jiashi coming out of the back room leaning on a cane and looking old-fashioned. Zhu Wanquan hurried over to salute, wanting to tell what happened at the door.

"Mother, I understand, the child of the third child has won the first prize in the exam? What a young hero!"

Zhu Jiashi's tone was flat.

Zhu Wanjian interjected: "If your mother is angry, you don't have to hold on, just let it out. We all know that it's not your grandson."

In the past, no one in the Zhu family knew about the relationship between Zhu Hao's father, Zhu Wangong, and Zhu Jia's family, but since Zhu Wanjian learned the inside story, it was no longer a secret, and now everyone in the Zhu family knew about this terrible past through his big mouth.

Zhu Jiashi said coldly: "Since you are a descendant of the Zhu family, you should do something for the revitalization of the Zhu family... The fact that the third house of the Zhu family is the number one scholar is a major event for the glory of the family. Why is the old man unhappy? Go out with the old man to meet the government officials. people."

Zhu Wanjian looked puzzled.

Ever since Zhu Hao passed the general examination and won the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Jia's attitude towards Zhu Hao and Sanfang changed rapidly.

With his elm head, he couldn't understand the change in his old lady's attitude.

But Zhu Wanquan is clear. Now that the Zhu family is facing an unprecedented crisis, the only way to resolve this catastrophe is to tie Zhu Hao to the big boat of the Zhu family. If others don't know, the Zhu family doesn't know that Zhu Hao is in the boat. The courteous reception received in Xingwang's mansion?

Zhu Hao won the first prize in the examination, and the new emperor will definitely gather honors and favors after he ascends the throne. The only way for the Zhu family to avoid being liquidated by the new emperor is to rely on Zhu Hao's "blessing".

Take a step back.

Even if the boat of the Zhu family is going to sink, the old lady will tie Zhu Hao to the boat, and everyone will die together!

……

……

The Zhu family was very lively, contrary to the usual contempt for the third house, they mobilized the crowd to entertain the neighbors and neighbors, and informed the Zhu family that a young champion was born, and with the fact that Zhu Wanhong, a thousand households of Jin Yiwei, was in the court, it was simply a family with both civil and military skills. The big family can be regarded as the number one in the capital.

Just when the Zhu family regarded Zhu Hao as a member of the Zhu family and made a big show of it, Zhu Hao was discussing with Yuan Zonggao to thoroughly check the account books of Hegong.

After Yuan Zonggao was sent away, Zhu Hao asked someone to carry away several boxes of transcribed accounts. After he came out, he learned from Lu Song that the person who announced the good news had been to Zhu's house.

"...Mr. Zhu, don't worry, the imperial court will send an announcer to Anlu, and the palace will inform your mother as quickly as possible. The news will be delivered in about ten days, and there will be no delay."

Lu Song admired Zhu Hao very much in the past, but now that Zhu Hao has won the first prize and has become the "No. [-] figure" in the faction of Xing Wangfu after Yuan Zonggao, he will not neglect him.

Although everyone knew that no one could replace Zhu Hao's role at the moment, there was always a layer of official status to rely on. In the past, even if Zhu Hao won the Huiyuan examination, he was just a candidate.

Zhu Hao smiled and nodded.

Just about to check the account books, the guards guarding the gate here reported that someone came to deliver invitations.

"There is no need to send letters if you have nothing to do with others."

Lu Song was furious for a while, who is this? Isn't it too late to curry favor with Mr. Zhuangyuan now?

The guard said: "It's the son of Yang Ge's old patriarch."

Hearing this, Lu Song couldn't help taking a breath, and then turned his gaze to Zhu Hao.

Just after noon, Yang Shen sent an invitation card. Without knowing whether the other party knew Zhu Hao's identity, it seemed that he was inviting Zhu Hao to attend the Hongmen Banquet.

If Yang Tinghe knew that Zhu Hao was hiding behind the new emperor's staff, how could he guarantee that he would not take action against Zhu Hao and let Zhu Hao have a "violent death"?
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Bring the invitation card and tell the people outside that I will definitely go to the banquet on time."

"Yes!"

When the guards retreated, Lu Song hurriedly reminded: "Young Master Zhu, don't go, even if you want to go, we will discuss it after Mr. Tang comes back. Your Majesty and Eunuch Zhang may come after nightfall..."

Zhu Hao said: "It's okay, what should be faced is always faced, no matter if I enter the Imperial Academy or the Sixth Department of Guanzheng, when I become an official, I can't avoid contact with Mr. Yang Ge and the people around him. Do I have to say I'm sick and go back to my hometown? Lu Qianhu put his heart at ease, everything is in my calculation."

"But……"

Lu Song originally wanted to say, the Enrong Banquet has not yet been held, and the Yang family sent someone to invite you to the banquet first, wouldn't this be an arrogance?
Zhu Hao opened the invitation, browsed through it hastily, and shook his head with a smile: "It seems that the second place is also invited, it is probably a matchmaking."

Seeing Zhu Hao's indifferent attitude, Lu Song knew that he was always resourceful, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, I'm going now. If anyone comes back, just tell them. Today, even if it is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, I will go to it. In the future, I will go deep into the enemy's camp to find out about Yang Ge's movements. The news... Just kidding, this trip is not that dangerous, Lu Qianhu doesn't need to worry, I will try to come back as soon as possible."

……

……

Zhu Hao attended the banquet held by Yang Shen.

The location is neither in the old mansion of Ge, nor in a random public place when we met for the first time, but in a wine shop that looks extremely simple, a simple wooden bungalow, but it is very particular about the decoration after entering. A large private room separated by hollow exquisite wooden screens.

Inside and outside the restaurant, six or seven thick men who looked like soldiers from the Yang family looked warily at Zhu Hao when he came in, and they almost searched him.

"Master Zhu, this way please..."

The person who brought Zhu Hao in was the guest of Yang's family, who was about thirty years old.

After Zhu Hao walked into the screen, he immediately saw Yang Shen and Yang Weicong who had already been seated. Several cold dishes were placed on the large round table. Looking at Yang Weicong's expression, Zhu Hao secretly laughed. The constipated expression, could it be that he was educated by Yang Shen here earlier, he was unwilling, and he couldn't get along with me in harmony?

Zhu Hao took the initiative to bow his hands and saluted: "I have seen Yang Hanlin, and Mr. Yang."

Yang Shen got up to greet him, smiled and nodded in return.

Originally Yang Weicong refused to get up, but Yang Shen put his hands on his shoulders, as if to point him out. Yang Weicong had no choice but to stand up resentfully, but he just arched his hands slightly, without looking at Zhu Hao.

Yang Shen said: "Zhu Hao, at your age, you don't have a sign yet, right? Let's call you by your name first, and sit down."

Zhu Hao sat down on the other side of the round table, not joining Yang Shen and Yang Weicong.

"Yang Hanlin, who are you entertaining today? Did you come down early, or... late?" Zhu Hao looked around, pretending to be confused and asking.

Yang Shen calmly said, "Today I only invited you and Dafu."

Dafu is Yang Weicong's nickname, which confirms Zhu Hao's conjecture that this is Yang Shen's alone dinner for Zhu Hao and Yang Weicong.

Well understood.

Ordinary Scholars, Yang Shen and Yang Tinghe behind him will not think about wooing him for the time being, but as a top-notch entering the Imperial Academy, he has a bright future, and naturally the treatment is different from others, but Tan Hua Maozhong is Fei Hong's nephew, and now Fei Hong He was also conscripted back to Beijing to join the cabinet. Yang Tinghe didn't know Fei Hong's political orientation for the time being. Fei Maozhong must keep pace with Fei Hong.

It is not clear whether Fei Maozhong will get closer to the new emperor in the future, or if he can gather in front of the civil servants' camp, so naturally, he can take care of Zhu Hao and Yang Weicong first.

Yang Weicong had a close relationship with the Yang family, so it was not difficult to recruit them.

But Zhu Hao's side... even if Yang Tinghe believes that Zhu Hao will not become part of the new emperor's party, he still needs to test and go through further contacts before he can initiate a solicitation. , and choose to stay out of it?
"Zhu Hao, you are a child of the Zhu family from a thousand households of Jinyiwei. I have already heard a little about your background and origin." Yang Shen said.

"Oh?"

Zhu Hao deliberately pretended to be confused, "I'm not very old, I have been studying for the past few years, so I don't understand what Yang Hanlin means."

Yang Shen smiled slightly, and looked over with a little narrowness in his eyes, "You don't want to mention it in front of Dafu, so I won't talk about it for now. After we reconcile for you, you and I will talk about it alone...... Minister, it is better to say something clearly."

　The second is sent, the emperor asks for a monthly ticket to encourage!Thank you!
