There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

Su Hao waited at the post station for three days. Seeing that Shi Zhongzhu didn't respond, he thought that this matter was something serious, so he left in despair.When he came, Su Hao told himself in his heart that success or failure will come. What if it succeeds? Now that he really failed, he still feels very disappointed. He won't lose too much when he meets such a person who is capable of fighting against the Su family. It's not easy to find a Shangguan with capital.

Shi Zhongzhu had to laugh three times if he wanted to know what Su Hao was thinking. How much power did he think the historian had in Anshun?For such a big event as a gold mine, three days?Shi Zhongzhu felt unsafe during the three-month survey.

After Shi An's full moon, Shi Zhongzhu wrote a letter back to Beijing to announce the good news, and asked Mrs. Zheng to let her go. Mingzhu should live with her parents.Shi Zhongzhu didn't tell his family about the gold mine, but as long as the gold mine was true, then Mingzhu wouldn't expect Anshun to come.

When Shi Zhongzhu's letter arrived in the capital, Shi Ding repeated the old story and scolded Shi Zhongzhu a few words out of focus. Mrs. Zheng only said that he was a cruel man who made his daughter suffer. , to Anshun.

Wei Zhenniang still had some taboos, waiting for her daughter inside the second gate, Shi Zhongzhu didn't pay too much attention, and personally went to the intersection to pick up his baby.

Nanshan rode a horse to guard outside, and saw Shi Zhongzhu and his party from a long distance away, turned to the carriage and said, "Miss, the master is picking you up."

Mingzhu poked her head out when she heard the sound, and seeing that it was indeed Shi Zhongzhu, she put aside the guidance of the lady and shouted loudly: "Father, father."

The nanny in the car still wanted to say a few rules, but Shi Zhongzhu had already stepped into the car, hugging little Mingzhu in his arms, and after making out for a while, Shi Zhongzhu said: "Mommy has worked hard all the way, I'll take care of Mingzhu."

Nanny is a person close to Zheng Shi, and she knows Shi Zhongzhu's position in Zheng Shi's heart and his own temperament very well, so she said wittily: "It's all what an old slave should do, and I can't be the second master to make a hard work, since the second master is here , Old slave, please excuse me, go and see if the maids in the rear car have put their things in order, after all, they are almost there."

Shi Zhongzhu nodded, and the nanny quietly withdrew.

"Hee hee." Mingzhu smiled coquettishly in Shi Zhongzhu's arms, "Father, you are so powerful, and Mammy is so fierce, I am afraid that Mammy will say me!"

Shi Zhongzhu still trusts the people sent by the Zheng family. Affected by the overwhelming news about child abuse by nannies in his previous life, he asked one more question: "Your mother is strict with you, but there is no beating or scolding."

Mingzhu's eyes were wide open, and she said, "Whose mother would dare to beat and scold the master?"

"Didn't you say your nanny is fierce?"

"Father, my daughter is saying that Mammy is unsmiling, strict rules, stricter than herself and even stricter with others, and she always speaks out when she sees something wrong with her daughter. This is called strictness. What you said is offensive, right?"

Shi Zhongzhu choked in his heart, thinking, it really was a mistake, even the nanny who taught the rules on behalf of the Zheng family was still a servant, and it was all because of the wrong background. When he was reading books, Jia Baoyu's nanny dared to be in front of the master. Spoiling in front of it.No wonder the Jia family ransacked their home in the end, it was indeed their fault.

Shi Zhongzhu thought so in his heart, but on the face he refused to admit that he was biased, teasing Mingzhu and said: "Okay, you little villain, you dare to laugh at Daddy when we first met, um, I won't give you any color, and you won't turn back." It's crazy." Talking and tickling, Mingzhu laughed loudly, and the crisp laughter spilled all the way.

Enough of laughing and laughing, Shi Zhongzhu sat with Mingzhu on his lap, such intimacy time is running out, Mingzhu is four years old this year, the girl has grown up, even her own father should pay attention to avoid suspicion.

Taking Mingzhu back to the government office, Wei Zhenniang ran up to see Mingzhu and hugged her without letting go, crying and laughing, after all, mother and daughter love each other deeply, Mingzhu cried in Wei Zhenniang's arms, which made Shi Zhongzhu a little jealous.

After tidying up, he asked his servants to show Mingzhu the Shi'an report. Even though Mingzhu was young, she had seen babies, and Shi Zhongbai's son in Beijing was just born.So Mingzhu was not afraid at all, she gently touched her younger brother's little face, and said: "Mother, younger brother is so good, I won't cry when I touch him."

"Of course my younger brother is good. Mingzhu is my elder sister. Take good care of my younger brother now. When my younger brother grows up, I will also take good care of Mingzhu." Wei Zhenniang said.

"really?"

"Of course it's true." Shi Zhongzhu said, "Take An An down, we'll only be with Little Mingzhu today, come to Mingzhu, Daddy will take you to dinner."

Seeing Shi Zhongzhu winking at herself, Wei Zhenniang didn't object, and handed Shi An to the nanny, first accompanied her husband and daughter to eat, and after the meal, went for a walk to digest the food, and then cleaned up Mingzhu herself, and waited for Mingzhu to lie on the bed, one left and one right When Shi Zhongzhu was with Wei Zhenniang, Mingzhu said: "I knew that my parents would not want me if they had a younger brother."

Shi Zhongzhu and Wei Zhenniang looked at each other, and Wei Zhenniang asked: "Why would Mingzhu think so, you are the baby of your parents, why would you not want you, who told you?"

"Well, no one told me, but why didn't my parents let Mingzhu come with me?" Mingzhu was confused.

"Naturally I feel sorry for Mingzhu." Shi Zhongzhu said, "I don't know Mingzhu. This place is poorer than the family in the capital. When Dad first came here, there were no peony flowers, no venison to eat, and no Jiulianhuan shop. Dad wanted to take all of these. Set it up well, and the pearl will come, so you won't suffer."

"There's not even venison. Daddy is so pitiful. When Mingzhu came, grandma packed up a big cart of venison, and it was all so painful for Daddy to eat."

"Mingzhu is so good." Shi Zhongzhu leaned forward and kissed her, and then asked: "Did you bring something nice for mother?"

"I have it, I have it, it's a ringing bracelet, it's so beautiful, and it's in the purse." Speaking of Mingzhu, she wanted to touch her body, but in fact, she had changed her clothes, so there was no purse on her body.

Wei Zhenniang pressed Mingzhu who was about to get up and said: "Mother knows, mother knows, Mingzhu is really good, let's see if the bracelet is good tomorrow, I've been tired all day, go to sleep now."

"Well, mom and dad are sleeping too." Little Mingzhu is used to it very well, and she said that she didn't make a fuss when she slept. Maybe she was really tired, and she fell asleep after a while. Wei Zhenniang patted Little Mingzhu's back, lowered her voice, and said : "I just want to keep Mingzhu from suffering, but she thought her parents didn't want her at such a young age, so she's so sad."

"Don't think too much about it. A child's mind changes three times a day. Let's pretend not to know and stay with her and let Mingzhu and An An get along with each other. It will be fine." Shi Zhongzhu comforted. Care will always make Mingzhu feel at ease.

The family of four was finally reunited, and Shi Zhongzhu was in the mood to fight for his career.These days the affairs of the government office are getting smoother and smoother, Shi Zhongzhu knows that he has mastered the government affairs, only military affairs and barbarian forces are left to be sorted out.

After Qubing and Yannian checked the gold mine, Shi Zhongzhu invited Su Hao to Hongfeng Lake to enjoy the scenery.

It took half a year to receive a reply. Su Hao rushed to Anshun non-stop, feeling a sense of surprise that he found it again.It's summer now, and the maple leaves in Hongfeng Lake are not even red. It's just an excuse to enjoy the scenery. Shi Zhongzhu and Su Hao walked in front, and the followers led the horses and carried things, and fell far behind.

"My lord, it's settled." After exchanging pleasantries, Su Hao couldn't wait to get to the point.

"No, I always want to hear, how did you know this news." Shi Zhongzhu thought, if it's really undecided, why did he call people here, but no matter how Shi Zhongzhu did his research, he didn't know what the source of Su Hao's news was. Always ask questions.

"My lord knows, my mother's surname is Li."

"Naturally, the thing is in Liping County, does it have an origin?" Shi Zhongzhu answered cooperatively.

"Liping County is a territory designated by the imperial court for decades. It was called Sanjiazhai before. It was the territory of the Li family, the Mo family, and the Meng family. Later, due to civil strife, the Meng family died, and the power of the Mo family was greatly reduced."

"But I don't think the Li family looks like a dominant family?" Shi Zhongzhu asked.

"The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind." Su Hao seemed unwilling to say more.

"The imperial court is this sparrow catcher?"

"Yes, the sparrow catcher has a helper."

"Su family?" Shi Zhongzhu asked uncertainly.

"Yes." Su Hao didn't hold back, and explained the cause and effect, "The three families fought in a melee back then, and the imperial court provoked it. Because the Su family was related to the eldest son of Gaozu, they heard the saying that the Buyi family had treasures. Needing money is such a big hole, so the Su family sent the eldest son and heir at that time to Anshun to hunt for treasures."

"After Gaozu's eldest son failed, the late emperor ascended the throne, and the Su family didn't dare to fight head-on, so they had to claim that the child was ignorant and obsessed with love, so he brought my mother back. Otherwise, how could the Su family's indomitable style allow a barbarian to enter?" Home." Su Hao said mockingly.

"They don't know that it is unintentional. My mother has three bloodlines. When the Meng family was wiped out, my mother's grandmother gave my mother a part of the gold mine map; the wife of the dead patriarch of the Mo family was my mother's aunt. I got a map from her; when my mother got married, Li's grandfather married a set of silver ornaments handed down by the predecessors. passed it on to the mother."

"It's a coincidence here, my mother has collected all the maps of the gold mine." Su Hao finally concluded.

"Scholar's procrastination, you can take it off; women's procrastination, you can't take it off. A woman is so immersed in love that she can even give up her life for her lover, let alone a mere foreign object?" House daughter, a love story like moths to a flame.

"Isn't it just that she gave up her life to leave her belongings behind? My mother couldn't survive and felt ashamed of my son, so she had to give me these things as compensation, so she can go to hell with peace of mind." Su Hao Speaking of this, there is some bitterness, no one wants to be the one who is abandoned.

"So the Su family doesn't know?"

"The Patriarch of the Su family may have guessed something. The Patriarch of the Su family said that he died of an illness. Those who knew something thought that he died because of the burial of the side concubine of Rong Wang. The fact is that my good brother killed him. Let him go. The Su family is such a messy place, how can the Patriarch of the Su family trust anyone who can hand over these secrets!"

When Shi Zhongzhu heard Su Hao talk about "the Patriarch of the Su family", he really didn't know how his father abused him back then. An unfamiliar "father" couldn't even say it. What kind of hatred is this?

"What if? There are always servants, right?"

"My good brother has buried all the serving servants just in case."

Combining the information that Shi Zhongzhu had already found out, Shi Zhongzhu said: "I can send someone to find the exact location of the gold mine with you, but I can't make the decision alone."

"You want to report to the imperial court?" Su Hao wondered.The greater the risk, the more rewards, the reason why he is so sneaky is to use these gold mines as a gift, let Shi Zhongzhu protect him to leave Anshun and get promoted to the capital.

"If you want money, you can find it everywhere, so why violate the court's laws." As a person who remembers his past life, he always has the idea of ​​earning a lot of gold and silver, so why take risks.

Su Hao was silent.Said: "But you are not sure that you can really dig out a large amount of gold. Even so, you still have to report it?"

"Even so, report it!"
