Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 274 Zhu Mingrui

Jiang Hong ordered good tea and pushed it in front of Zhu Mingrui, but made a cup of clear tea himself. Zhu Mingrui sipped the tea soup and said with a smile: "I am not used to drinking this clear tea. I heard that the fourth and fifth masters in the capital love this clear tea now." " Jiang Hong smiled and said nothing, Zhu Mingrui drank the tea soup one by one, put down his cup and said with a smile: "You are all elegant people, and a warrior like me still finds strong alcohol enjoyable. Do you have any good wine today?"

"There is no strong wine, but there are a few jars of good wine." Seeing that he was about to serve wine within two or three sentences, Jiang Hong was a little surprised, straightened up and ordered the servants to remove the red clay stove and tea set, and set out the wine and dishes .

Zhu Mingrui drank one cup after another very quickly, Jiang Hong accompanied him for a few cups, seeing that he seemed to be a bit bored, the wine pourer was attentive, but he drank very little.

Zhu Mingrui soon became seven or eight points drunk, his face was reddish, and he sighed several times, Jiang Hong was even more surprised. Zhu Mingrui seemed straightforward and bold, but in fact he was very scheming. Looking at him today, he seemed to be drunk on purpose , also want to say something.The vigilance in Jiang Hong's heart became more and more intense. Hearing Zhu Mingrui's sigh, he didn't even ask a question, and didn't even have the slightest intention to inquire. Zhu Mingrui's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he drank two more glasses of wine and put down the glass. , let out a long sigh, looked bored, looked at Jiang Hong and asked: "Yanhui, you said that we are ministers and sons of men, what should we do if we know that the elders have acted improperly?" Jiang Hong looked at Zhu Mingrui in surprise, not After he answered, Zhu Mingrui went on to say: "Our ancestors of the Zhu family have set iron laws and must abide by their duties as ministers. I wish the family can be ups and downs for so many years, because they have kept their duties as ministers. Your Jiang family is also a century-old official family. Tell me, people like you, people like us, don’t they just want the word "stability"? My grandfather always said that, my grandfather always said that in life, you have to leave room for yourself. You must also leave room for your children and grandchildren, and you must not be extreme in everything. If you wish your family to have a long-term future, you can’t be extravagant like an extreme minister. Yan Hui, you have read a lot of books, do you think your grandfather is right?"

Jiang Hong was startled when he heard this, and looked at Zhu Mingrui in amazement, frowning, and said, "Shouyu, you've had too much wine, stop drinking, I'll send you back to rest."

"No, no, no." Zhu Mingrui waved his hands: "I can tell you this, Yan Hui, if you make a careless move, you will lose everything, and you will lose forever! Never recover!" Zhu Mingrui was helped up by Jiang Hong , half leaning on Jiang Hong staggeringly, saying it was very distressing, Jiang Hong's thoughts moved slightly, let alone answering his words, only said that he was drunk, helped him out of the tent and handed him over to the servant, Zhu Mingrui was half-hearted by the servant Fu Ban dragged into the night, behind the tent, a shadow flashed by, and Yue Niang, dressed as a soldier, followed along the darkness between the tents.

Zhu Mingrui walked halfway supporting the boy in a gloomy mood, when he suddenly paused slightly, the boy who was supporting him hurriedly looked up at him, Zhu Mingrui squinted his eyes behind him, the boy understood, and helped Zhu Mingrui slanted Zhu Mingrui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This Jiang Hong is indeed the best of the best. Zhu Mingrui drunkenly told the boy: "Go and see Lord Hou rest. No more." The servant agreed, and helped Zhu Mingrui to turn half a corner, and after a while, he entered the tent of Zhu Wenqi, Deputy Marshal of Beizheng and Marquis of Chang'an.

The guard around the main tent of Marquis Chang'an was heavily guarded, Yue Niang didn't dare to get close, she hid in the corner of the top tent, her neck was as long as a goose, but she was too far away, she still couldn't hear a single movement.

Just when Yue Niang was so anxious that she could pull her ear off and throw it over, Zhu Mingrui staggered out of the tent, Zhu Mingrui seemed to be very angry, rushing fast and fast, he looked dizzy and reckless Terrible, when Yue Niang saw him rushing straight towards her hiding place, she held her breath and clung to the tent in fright, lest she would show her feet. Terrible, he staggered a few steps back and forth three or five steps in front of Yue Niang, and mumbled indignantly, "I'd rather be unfilial than disobedient!" Only then did Niang dare to move, but she felt her back was icy cold.

Jiang Hong listened to Yue Niang's words, his face was solemn as if carved out of stone, and after a while he turned to look at Yue Niang and said: "Shou Yu must have said this to you on purpose, to you, that is to say, Tell me." Yue Niang was stunned and at a loss, Jiang Hong glanced at Yue Niang without further explanation, his heart was full of turmoil, and he couldn't care about anything else.

"I think that surname Zhu is a ghost to you!" Yue Niang commented angrily, she had been following her for a long time, and she already knew about it, and even walked over to talk to her on purpose, which made her lose face. Her qinggong is also well-known in the rivers and lakes, and she capsized in the small gutter!

"I have to see King Shou." Jiang Hong suddenly said, Yue Niang was startled, Jiang Hong still didn't explain a word, just looked at Yue Niang and said: "You go back now and tell Chu Da that you want to talk to me quietly. Go to see King Shou and ask him if he will go, remember, just say you mentioned it to me, I reluctantly nodded."

"Eh?" Yue Niang was even more at a loss: "What do you mean? Then do you want his brothers from the Chu family to go, or do you not want the brothers from the Chu family to go?" Jiang Hong looked at Yue Niang and asked without answering her words. : "I remember hearing you say that from the capital city to Bei'an city, there are shops of the Huang family or the princess everywhere? Are there any here?"

"Yes, but it belongs to the Huang family. It's still a big shopkeeper, surnamed Hao. Although the place here is small, it is the closest to Beiting. The business of the Huang family to Beiting is managed by this shopkeeper Hao." Yue Niang asked. After answering ten, Jiang Hong was overjoyed and laughed quickly: "God helped you and me! You go back tonight and ask Chu Da a question, don't wait for him to answer, let him think about it first, and you will go to shopkeeper Hao tomorrow morning and bring him Come to see me, remember, you must tell Chu Er about going to shopkeeper Hao tomorrow morning, um, it would be best to tell Chu Er."

"Hey! Who are you trying to scheme against? Tell me clearly first! If you don't make it clear, this matter is over, and I'll pack up and leave! You people have too many thoughts! Most of them are not good things!" Yue Niang Quit it, Jiang Hong was stunned by Yue Niang's direct temper tantrum, and blushed from coughing.

"Okay, okay, let me explain clearly to you." Jiang Hong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to patiently explain: "Zhu Mingrui is a very smart person, and this sentence he handed over is extremely important. Think about it, I would rather be unfilial than a minister. What do you mean by that?"

"I don't care what this means! I'm asking about the brothers of the Chu family!" Yue Niang opened her mouth and interrupted Jiang Hong's words. , Let’s start with the brothers of the Chu family, you also said that the brothers of the Chu family are here to find a safe and secure backer, and I’m just looking for a backer for them, there are treacherous people among the rough people in the rivers and lakes!” Yue Niang's brows immediately stood up, and Jiang Hong hurriedly changed the subject: "Of course a real hero like Chu Er is not treacherous at all, but Chu's affairs are not decided by Chu Er, but by Chu Da. Right?" Yue Niang lowered her brows, rolled her eyes up and hummed as she agreed, and Jiang Hong continued: "You also said, Chu Er told you that Chu Da wants to take care of himself and find a safe one. Big backer, if we are too proactive towards someone like Chu Da, I'm afraid he will be suspicious, the best way is to let him come to the door by himself, begging us to take him to make this contribution."

"Contributing merit? When you see King Shou, what merit did he do?" Yue Niang grabbed the most crucial two words, and Jiang Hong didn't change his face: "I always have to find a reason when I go to see King Shou. I'm the food security officer. Grain deposits are naturally the best reason. When the time comes, it will be a great achievement to say that when the time comes to meet the rangers in Beiting and the brothers of the Chu family fight hard to protect them, isn't it a great achievement? I want to find a backer, and that backer is not what he wants to rely on. They just let him lean on it, if there is no credit for it, why should he lean on it?" Yue Niang nodded repeatedly after what Jiang Hong said, convinced.

Sure enough, Chu Da didn't nod on the spot, and grabbed Chu Er who was about to pat his chest to go with Yue Niang, laughed dryly a few times and said that he wanted to discuss it, Yue Niang remembered Jiang Hong's words, her face turned cold and her head went up, and again from her nose. Responding like um and humming, he proudly went upstairs to rest with his hands behind his back.

Yue Niang has been busy these days, and Chu Da has not been idle for a moment. After these two days of hard work, he really asked him about a lot of things. He is fighting for the throne with the fourth son of his family. The deputy commander of the Northern Expedition Army, Marshal Chang'an Hou Zhu, the boss of the Beidi, is the old father-in-law of the fourth son. I heard that the fourth son is in charge of the country in the capital. The country is almost like being a prince, but the old man of the Zhu family is with the boss again. This means that the boss will definitely be able to become a great treasure, and there are almost as many people who say that the fourth child will definitely become a great treasure. Although Jian Guo is similar to being a prince, after all Not the prince, I heard that the official family was the one who won the battle in Beiting and became the prince...

Are you going to take this trip or not?Those officials are the most playful, they obviously use you, but they still make you grateful to Dade, that Jiang Zhuangyuan may have taken a fancy to their people from Feiying Castle, if you want to talk about Beiting, who else is better than their Feiying Castle More familiar?Well, it must be like this. Be careful about this matter!
Chu Da cautiously did not close his eyes all night, and fell into a haze when it was almost dawn. When he woke up, the sky was already bright, Chu Da hurriedly got up, dressed, and was about to go out to inquire again, when he bumped into him. Yue Niang, Yue Niang glanced past him, nodded at him, and went downstairs without stopping. Chu Da wanted to chase but felt it was wrong, so he hurriedly leaned on the railing to see Yue Niang come out. No matter which direction the inn door was going, he happened to see Chu Er greet Yue Niang and talk, Chu Dachang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly retracted his upper body.
