Chapter 73 A Big Event Happened

After the matter was settled, the little maid was on duty that day, and Zhu Hao's family had an extra helper for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the evening.

Zhu Niang intends to examine the ability of the new maid, and asks her to try cooking.

The children of the poor have long been in charge of the house, and the little girl has long been able to cook, but the cooking skills need to be improved. This is related to the fact that her family just started cooking some vegetables and tofu. Aunt Li guides.

"Damn, go help your Aunt Li, and observe how your Aunt Li cooks..."

"Yes."

The little girl obeys her orders.

Zhu Hao said from the side: "Mom, I always think that the name Erdan is weird... why don't I call her another name. Her surname is Bai, so let's call her Xiaobai."

The girl hurriedly said: "No...no need, the bastard is fine."

Zhu Niang looked the girl up and down: "From the appearance, as long as you are diligent and honest, you can live in the city for a few years, and you can put her in a good husband's house... It's rare that Xiaohao likes you, so you just listen to him."

The matter of hiring a servant girl was originally proposed by Zhu Hao, and now it's okay for his son to name the servant girl. Originally, the name Erdan was very rustic and not suitable for a beautiful little girl.

"Ah."

Since Madam spoke, it was basically considered a formal decision, and Erdan became Xiaobai.

……

……

In the evening, the family had a reunion dinner.

Xiaobai didn't serve the table, and after bringing the food to the table, she returned to the kitchen in a sensible manner, waiting for some leftovers or waiting for Zhu Niang to arrange for her to eat.

"Xiaobai, don't be strangers, we are not a big family, just find someone to come back to help, you can eat whatever we eat in the future, just sit down and eat together!"

Zhu Niang wouldn't treat Xiaobai right away, so she went directly to the kitchen and pulled him back to the dining table.

I have been looked down upon too much, now instead of hiring a maid, it is better to find a little girl to come back to help. This maid will not only be responsible for washing, cooking and cleaning in the backyard, but also help take care of the shop. Zhu Niang thinks that in the future, Xiaobai It will be very hard, if you don't treat it better, how can you win people's hearts?

Xiaobai was terrified.

Zhu Hao handed over the chopsticks in his hand: "Sister Xiaobai, I haven't used my chopsticks yet, you can use them first, I'll go to the kitchen to get them... Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can't go home to reunite with your family, from now on From now on, we will be a family... having reunion dinner together."

Aunt Li looked at Xiaobai's blushing pretty face, covered her mouth with a smile, and said, "Master Hao, you are so young and talkative, I'm afraid that when you grow up, you will be a romantic talent who will fascinate everyone."

Zhu Niang rolled her eyes at Aunt Li, thinking it was inappropriate to comment on her son, but she did not object to letting her son learn how to get along with women from an early age, so as to lay the foundation for the family to flourish.

Xiaobai was already very shy, but he couldn't lift his head after hearing Aunt Li's words.

"When everyone is ready, let's eat!"

Zhu Niang greeted, "However, Xiaohao, first go to the main room to pay homage to your father, and then have dinner when you come back... Our family cannot be separated at any time!"

Zhu Niang pays attention to etiquette and does not allow any details to be missed.

Zhu Hao had no choice but to get up and follow his mother to the main room to offer incense to his father. After returning, the family had a reunion dinner together.

……

……

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Hao got up and prepared to go back to the palace.

At this time, Xiaobai has woken up and is helping to fetch water in the yard... Bringing water up from the ancient well with a bucket is a basic operation for people in this era.

Zhu Hao circled the well twice, considering whether to get a water pressure device, which would save a lot of effort. Just when he was thinking about something, Zhu Niang came over from the counter of the shop.

"Little Bai, are you still used to sleeping well last night?" Zhu Niang asked.

The front shop and the backyard occupy a large area, which is also the main reason for the family's covetousness. There are a few orphans and widows living in the house, and there are many empty rooms. Aunt Li has always wanted her daughter to learn to be independent, so she has arranged for Zhu Ting to live alone. However, Zhu Ting was afraid that she would sleep with her mother at night. When arranging accommodation last night, Zhu Niang asked Xiaobai to share a room with Zhu Ting.

Xiaobai nodded again and again: "Very good."

Zhu Niang said with a smile: "This child is good at everything, but he is shy of strangers and doesn't talk much... But it's better for girls to be shy and talkative."

She didn't forget to look at her son as she spoke, as if the person she described as causing trouble was her son.

Zhu Hao said: "Mother, are you talking about me? I don't talk much in the palace, and I never make trouble for myself."

While talking, there was a knock on the door from the backyard.

Usually when the aunts and aunts from the neighborhood come over, they usually go through the back door. Zhu Niang is not surprised and asks Aunt Li, who does the laundry, to open the door.

Soon Aunt Li came over nervously and reported, "It's the housekeeper Liu at home."

Zhu Niang became cautious.

She went there in person, and Zhu Hao naturally went with her.

When he got to the back door, he found that there was only Steward Liu, and he did not see the old lady who was always by his side.

"Butler Liu, what's the matter?" Zhu Niang was a little nervous, and she looked out into the streets and alleys.

Butler Liu said with a smile: "I have something to say to the son, please avoid the third lady... It was the old lady who asked me to come over to pass on a message."

Zhu Niang's face was heavy.

In the past, the Zhu family used to target her, but now they go to her son directly for everything. This trend makes her feel uneasy.

After Zhu Niang evaded, Liu Butler told Zhu Hao what he wanted to pass on.

"...The old lady greeted Lin Baihu of Jinyiwei, and said that she would let you see a person in a few days. It is the response from the palace. When the time comes, you will have a number of helpers."

Zhu Hao frowned.

As soon as I heard it, I knew that I was going to see Lu Song.

But the problem is, the two had connected the line long ago, Lu Song didn't tell Lin Baihu, and Zhu Hao didn't tell the Zhu family, so both parties were kept in the dark.

Perhaps it was because the information he brought to the Zhu family these two times was not very important, or Lu Song's side did not meet Lin Baihu's expectations. The two sides made up their minds, so let them meet and get in touch, and supervise each other ,Mutual advantage……

Zhu Hao himself didn't care, but on Lu Song's side, once his identity was exposed, he would no longer be able to gain a foothold in the palace.

"Who is it?"

Zhu Hao pretended to be ignorant, and asked Butler Liu curiously.

Butler Liu smiled sarcastically, as if he felt that the child in front of him was too naive, so naturally he didn't pay much attention to it, with a hint of ostentation on his face, he said frightenedly: "I heard that it's a classic battle in the palace, it's hard to say who it is, wait You'll know when you see someone."

"Oh."

Zhu Hao nodded.

Then Butler Liu didn't stop, turned around and left.

……

……

Just after Maoshi, Zhu Niang asked Yu San to drive the carriage to take Zhu Hao back to the palace.

On the way, Yu Sanyi asked about the operation of the bookstore again and again, Zhu Hao responded casually, but he was thinking about the matter of Zhu's family and Lin Baihu discussing to let him see Lu Song.

"Lin Baihu even told the Zhu family about the royal family's battle. It seems that he sincerely wants to cooperate with the Zhu family. I have provided very little information to the Zhu family. Lu Song will not betray the palace for glory... Or the capital is putting pressure on Anlu's intelligence collectors..."

After entering Prince Xing's mansion, Zhu Hao wanted to tell Lu Song the news.

After searching for a long time, I didn't see Lu Songren.

Until Jinghong came back, Lu Bing and his son did not enter the palace.

When it was time for class, Zhu Hao and Jing Hong went to the academy together. After waiting for a while, they saw Zhu San, Zhu Si and Lu Bing coming together, talking and laughing.

"Zhu Hao, I have something to tell you."

As soon as Zhu San came, he seemed very cautious, as if he wanted to explain important matters to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao ignored her and asked Lu Bing first, "Lu Bing, where is your father?"

Lu Bingdao: "I stayed in the palace last night to live with my mother, and I don't know where my father is."

Zhu San pursed his lips and said: "Zhu Hao, you are really thoughtful. Why are you asking A Bing's father? I have something important to tell you. It's about us going out to play..."

Knowing that Lu Song was not in the city, Zhu Hao suddenly had an ominous premonition,

Here, the Zhu family just informed him that they want to meet Jin Yiwei's nephew in the palace. The nephew is still in the royal palace, and Lu Song is not in the palace. Could it be too coincidental?

Could it be that the Wangfu intercepted the information in time and began to deliberately look for spies?
The only thing that can be confirmed now is whether the rest of the Dianzhan are also transferred out of the city, and then get in touch with Lu Song as soon as possible.

"Xiao Si and I proposed to our father to go out to play. The father did not agree at first, but we couldn't bear our repeated begging. In the end, Mr. Yuan spoke for us, as long as we can take the first few chapters of "Mencius" in a few days. If He Jingyi can pass the test, he agrees to let the guards escort us out to play, and then we can take you with us...Zhu Hao, it's all up to you."

Zhu San looked at Zhu Hao eagerly.

Zhu Hao took a look at her and asked, "Can't you usually sneak out to play?"

"This time is different."

Zhu Si added from the side, "Father means that we can go out of the city to play, and then go hunting in the mountains or in the wild... catching rabbits is also fine."

Jinghong asked puzzledly: "If you want to pass the assessment, shouldn't you let the teacher teach? Why Zhu Hao?"

Zhu Sandao: "Xiao Jingzi, you know what the hell. Yuan Changshi said that Mr. Sui's family has something to do. He hasn't come to the palace recently. He will even change his teacher in the future. If he can't find Zhu Hao for the exam, who can he turn to? Besides, how good Zhu Hao taught before. , Mr. Sui's teaching is not as good as Zhu Hao's teaching."

Jinghong wanted to refute, but compared Zhu Hao with what he had learned from other gentlemen...

There is no debate.

"If you want to take the "Mencius" exam, then study it with your heart, and I promise to teach it with your heart. As for whether you can master it, it depends on your understanding." Zhu Hao said.

Zhu San smiled and said: "You really can't bear to boast that you are better than Mr. Sui, do you think you are really better than Mr. Sui? He is a juror..."

"Third Brother, we still have to learn "Mencius" from Zhu Hao. It won't do any good for you to run on him." Still Zhu Si is smart and knows that now is not the time to be brave.

What good does it do you to laugh at Zhu Hao?
Now begging others to do things, it is better to flatter.

Then the lecture started, and Zhu Hao acted as "Mr. Zhu" again that day, teaching several children.

……

……

At noon, Zhu Hao took the opportunity to go to the next door of the school dormitory, and asked Lao Song, who happened to be working here, why he didn't see anyone during the several battles in the palace today.

Lao Song had a serious mind, and without thinking much, he told several Dian Zhan that they were away for some reason, as if he had gone out of the city to buy something, and he would not come back until a few days later.

Zhu Hao knew it well.

When school was over in the afternoon, Zhu Hao talked to Lu Bing alone.

"Lu Bing, are you still staying in the palace tonight?" Zhu Hao asked.

"Well." Lu Bing was holding a copy of the "Three Character Classic" in his hand at this time, which was given to him by Zhu Hao. It might be okay for Lu Bing to recite "The Analects of Confucius", but it would be too difficult for him to recite "Mencius". Lu Bing can also learn and progress together, it is best to learn from the basics.

Zhu Hao said: "Then you can see your mother? In this way, you tell your mother that Zhu Hao wants to talk to your father about Jin Yiwei... If your mother is convenient, I can let you talk, or you can tell her in person. Come and see. You can't tell others about this, it's a secret between us, okay?"

"Ah."

Lu Bing nodded stupidly.
