[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Mrs. Jin lives with Zhang Heling, the elder brother of the two brothers, so the main venue for the birthday banquet is still in the Shouning Hou Mansion. Entertain the relatives and friends of the Jianchang Hou Mansion.Looking at the past, I saw red lanterns hanging high on a street, and guests came and went like a cloud.People sitting in sedan chairs, driving cars, and riding horses came and went in an endless stream.All kinds of rare gifts are sent to the warehouse like flowing water, which is a scene of wealth and prosperity.

The queen took several highnesses on a trip, and the entire street was temporarily blocked.Zhu Houzhao followed Mrs. Zhang to the Marquis of Shouning and met Mrs. Jin first. He saw that she was wearing bright red clothes, with all kinds of golden ornaments on her head, and pearls and emerald emeralds.

Although the Jin family is only a grandmother, logically speaking, she should not be too close to the princes, but because of Zhang's exclusive favor, she often enters the palace.When she was a child, Jin loved to bring Zhu Houzhao some fun things. Zhu Youtang disciplined the children, and Jin was always afraid of his grievances, and always told Zhang not to restrain the children.Compared with the two uncles, Zhu Houzhao still likes this grandmother.

Especially after having wormwood, Mrs. Jin fell in love with her heart, and there was never a shortage of all kinds of small gadgets that were rarely seen in the palace.Ai Cao was weak and sick when she was a child, Zhang's dystocia was also difficult to get out of bed, and Ai Cao could be regarded as Jin's hugging and standing up.As a result, the Kim family is especially amiable in the eyes of several children.

Mrs. Jin wanted to salute Mrs. Zhang, but Mrs. Zhang gave way, and Zhu Houzhao and the others saluted Mrs. Jin again.After saluting, Ai Cao threw herself directly into Jin's arms. Jin was overjoyed, and took Zhu Houwei to ask some ordinary questions about his health.

There were orders from various princes and lords on the spot. Seeing this, I gained a new understanding of the favor of the Zhang family.

The old lady of the Shouning Hou Mansion had a big birthday, and naturally the city was full of guests.Ai Cao and Mrs. Zhang were very happy to be with their wives in the room with their grandmother, but Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei felt that it was too noisy here, and it was too crowded to be with men outside.Zhang Yanling is smart, seeing the uncomfortable faces of the two highnesses there, he knew that this place was not good, so he came over and asked Zhu Houzhao and his brothers to go to the mansion over there to prepare another meal.

Zhu Houzhao listened, and naturally agreed, and went back to Zhang's and Jin's, and Zhang Yanling and Zhang Yanling took Zhu Houwei to Shouchanghou's mansion.

There are also some guests in the Shouchanghou Mansion, but not many.Zhang Yanling called Mrs. Shouchang Hou back from the mansion over there, and set up a single table in a small pavilion near the water called Lingyan Pavilion in the mansion, next to the opera stage, it was clean, refreshing and cheap.

It's good for me, Zhu Houzhao thought again, because Du Ruo is friendly with him, he has been walking with the two houses here in the past few years, I don't know if he came tonight.Zhang Yanling said that the British official just gave a gift and did not come tonight, so Zhu Houzhao gave up.

It was just the two of us, and even Zhang Yanling was sent to entertain guests, so Zhu Houzhao asked not to put those empty things, but only a few things that children like to eat, and a few seasonal side dishes, and listened to them while eating there. play.

After a while, I saw Zhang Yanling holding a two or three-year-old child to pay his respects.It's pleasing to see a child looking white and tender, but Zhu Houzhao felt that it was inappropriate to see Zhang Yanling holding him in his arms without losing his hand for a moment.

"Whose child is this, how does the third uncle hold it?" Neither of the two uncles' families had such a big child. Zhang Heling's family only had two young children, one was six years old and the other was still in his infancy.Zhang Yanling's family has a five-year-old cousin and a four-year-old cousin. Where can there be such a child.

"This is your cousin, Xingsan. His nickname is Brother Jin, and his name is Zhang Chun. Come to Brother Jin to salute the two cousins." Zhu Houming understood that this must be the child of a very favored concubine. up.It's just that this cousin Zhu Houzhao refused to accept it. It was not until ancient times that Zhu Houzhao realized that the distinction between righteousness and concubine was far more serious than what he knew before.This child is a boy, but he was not in the lineup that greeted the Zhang family earlier. It can be seen that he was not recognized by the Zhang family. Now that he wants to be taken advantage of and admit this child, Zhu Houzhao will not agree.You must know that when you met people before, the baby Zhang Cai was the third young master, and now there is another "third young master", Zhu Houzhao dare not respond casually.

"He's still young, so there's no need to salute. It's cold here. It's not good for the child to catch a cold. Uncle is better to carry him." Seeing Zhu Houzhao playing Tai Chi with herself like this, Zhang Yanling didn't understand, so he smiled reluctantly and hugged the child. go down.

At this time, I saw a very charming and charming woman in pink clothes, bringing a little girl with a food box.Seeing Zhang Yanling holding Brother Jin here, he said with a smile: "It turns out that the master is here, and I am here to deliver some fresh dishes to the two nephews." The voice was thin, like a mosquito chirping, lest everyone would not know that she was weak.

When Brother Jin saw his mother coming, he said aggrievedly: "Mom, my brothers don't like me." It seemed that Zhu Houzhao had hurt him.Looking at the woman again, she had an expression of being wronged and about to cry.

Where did Zhu Houzhao make such a calculation, and immediately retorted: "I don't know that this servant belongs to my uncle's family, so I don't know how to be polite, I don't know what kind of aunt I am, why I don't know."

As soon as these words came out, the woman was so ashamed and annoyed that she leaned directly on Zhang Yanling and cried.

The woman actually cried in public, and choked up while crying and said: "But I did something wrong, why does my elder nephew say that about my concubine?"

What a pure white lotus with rain, Zhu Hou said in his heart.It's just that she wanted to make trouble with herself, but Zhu Houzhao still didn't agree.Zhu Houzhao didn't speak any more, and only took a bowl of egg custard on the table to share with Zhu Houwei.

It's a shame that Zhang Yanling's clever head can't see through it. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao ignored him, he felt that Zhu Houzhao looked down on his uncle.Even the guests didn't care about looking at him and his group, and just stood there to comfort his delicate concubine.

"It's Yingge's fault, which angered the two nephews. Please punish me." Zhu Houzhao felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard it, but Zhang Yanling felt that Zhu Houzhao was not good for himself, the most "proprietary" beloved woman. good.

At this moment, I saw Mrs. Liu of Shouchanghou and Mrs. Huang of Jianninghou bringing their children Zhang Dong and Zhang Liang.When Mrs. Liu saw that the two "brothers" in the mansion were here, the smile on her face froze instantly.

Zhu Houzhao saw his two cute cousins ​​coming, and stood up quickly.Naturally, Zhu Houwei has also seen this brother and younger brother many times. When he was bored, his playmates came. He was so happy that he ran over and took their hands affectionately.

Seeing this, Yingge cried even more happily.This Lingyan Pavilion faces the water on three sides, and on the other side are the relatives of the Liu family and the young masters of the various families. Mrs. Liu saw that this bitch was so embarrassing here, his face turned white and red, and he wished he could eat this bitch alive. people.

"Uncle, this is not good-looking, please take it with you." His sister-in-law brought someone here, Zhang Yanling knew that something was wrong now, looked at his son-in-law with a calm face, and was speechless, I had no choice but to pull one person and hold another person, and left without ignoring Yingge's struggle.

Liu's embarrassing two people left, his complexion finally improved, and he said a few words of good food and fun, and left.The two brothers were left as companions.

Although the two cousins ​​are still young, they both know etiquette and don't have too much spirit of Fei Zhu Houzhao.Especially Zhang Dong and Zhu Houwei, the two of them immediately played together affectionately, pointing at Yue Fei in the story of the faithful in the stands.

On the contrary, Zhang Liang, who was still young, sat there with a worried face, and Zhu Houzhao sighed while watching. "Come and eat some of this crab, my brother will pick it out for you."

Zhang Liang was about to shed tears when he saw that the elder brother of the crown prince was so rude to his younger brother but treated him very well.Seeing Zhang Dong, he quickly comforted him: "Don't worry about them, grandma doesn't like them, if he bullies you, you can come and play with me."

Zhu Houzhao felt tricky, and said with a smile, "Brother Dong, don't bluff me, he is younger than Brother Liang, how can he bully Brother Liang?"

Suspected by the prince's brother, Zhang Dong immediately became anxious, and said solemnly: "We don't like to play with him. He fell down by himself, so it must be brother Liang who pushed him. He told the third uncle that brother Liang likes to play with maids. Get into the arms of the sisters, and let the third uncle teach Brother Liang." Zhu Houzhao understood this, it turned out that it was a struggle between the good and the poor, and there were schemes and schemes.

"He bullied Brother Liang so much, Brother Dong, why didn't you tell your third uncle, or your grandmother?"

"Grandmother scolded the third uncle, but the third uncle didn't listen." Zhang Dong pouted, and held Zhang Liang with his small hand to comfort him. "Third Aunt had no choice but to let Brother Liang avoid him, but that annoying ghost just wanted to come to our side, the most annoying thing."

Having said all this, Zhu Houzhao finally understood that Zhang Yanling might be spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife, and the fight in the back house might implicate the child.Even if it is his uncle's family, Zhu Houzhao can't take care of other people's family affairs.It's just a common saying to comfort Zhang Liang to study hard.

After hearing this, Zhang Liang just cheered up and played with his two elder brothers for a while, but his brows and eyes were always gloomy, which made Zhu Houzhao feel distressed.

After dinner, Zhu Houzhao led his three younger brothers to find Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Jin without waiting for the opera to finish.

After eating, Mrs. Zhang was also watching a play there, with wormwood sitting on the footstool next to her.Mrs. Jin accompanied Mrs. Zhang, and Zhang Zhu, the little cousin of the Zhang family, was also sitting next to the wormwood with a small footstool. The two little sisters chatted and laughed very happily.

The grandson and grandson came together, and Mrs. Jin hurriedly greeted them, asking if they were happy playing and eating.Zhu Houzhao answered them one by one.Today, Jin's sons and daughters, grandsons and grandsons, granddaughters and granddaughters are all together, and they are very happy.Mrs. Huang hurriedly asked someone to set up a seat next to Mrs. Jin for the four of them to sit down.

Mrs. Zhang stopped him and said, "It's not good for them to sit here as outsiders. Why don't you let them go outside."

Mrs. Jin was very happy in her heart, and she said, "They are still young, what are they doing taboo about these things? Besides, they are not wronged by the mess outside, so let them sit here, Your Majesty."

Since mother said so, Mrs. Zhang didn't care too much, thinking that nothing would happen if she was still here, just let a few people sit down.

Zhu Houzhao sat down for the time being and had some homely conversation with Jin Shi. While talking, Zhu Houzhao asked Jin Shi about Yingge.Jin Shi wanted to speak but stopped, Zhu Houzhao pestered him to talk, Jin Shi finally opened his mouth.

"This is a long story, and it's another injustice."

The author has something to say: according to Songhe Yannian, there should be another Zhang Songnian who died young, so here Zhang Yannian is the third uncle and Zhang Henian is the second uncle.
