The Zhen Family Brothers in the Red Chamber

Zhen Zhu returned to the capital, and the happiest thing was the fourth elder brother. He recently started to take over the palace affairs, but he always had conflicts with his third brother, and behind the grumpy third brother was a second brother who was always gloomy. elder brother.

"Hey, you don't know, it's becoming more and more unbearable to stay in the palace recently, and it's so annoying." The fourth elder brother said over and over again and led Zhen Zhu to go outside. When the two arrived at the gate of the palace, they happened to see King Jing entering the palace. , the two bowed their hands together to salute, King Jing is now named King of Beijing, because his biggest rival has just fallen, so his daily life is very happy, seeing Zhen Zhu smiled and stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "Good boy, After going out for so many days, I didn’t come back to my king’s side to say a word, and I’m going out before we meet?”

Zhen Zhu was very embarrassed, and he quickly responded: "I have already ordered someone to deliver the things to your house. They are all local goods from the south of the Yangtze River. Please don't dislike me, my lord."

"Hahaha, look at what you said, how can it be possible." King Beijing smiled brightly, then waved his hand and let the two of them leave, and entered the palace by himself.

Zhen Zhu turned her head to look at King Bei Jing, and he turned to ask the fourth elder brother: "Why haven't I seen the prince for a while, have you lost a lot of weight?"

The fourth elder brother sighed, and he ordered someone to fetch the carriage, while he waited beside Zhen Zhu: "Didn't Uncle Seven have an accident a few days ago, and Uncle Fifth was unlucky enough to be scolded by the imperial grandfather for no apparent reason. So I was seriously ill, and I went to see it a few days ago, but I seem to have just gotten up today."

Zhen Zhu looked at the fourth elder brother who seemed to be a little different. He didn't say anything at that time, but just observed carefully. Although it was the same as last year, eating and drinking together, strolling around, and getting involved when he saw Shihui Wenyuan, but more It's casual, if he used to be emotional because of these things, but now he is basically emotionless.

At the end of the day, Zhen Zhu understood a little bit, and then sighed unconsciously, and was seen by the fourth elder brother, who turned to look at Zhen Zhu: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. After a day, I'll be a little tired." Zhen Zhu shook her head. He had been with the fourth elder brother for so long, and he was more affectionate than his cousins ​​at home. Seeing the child grow up, he couldn't help sighing that the world was hard.

"I always feel that you always look like I am old. You are obviously one year younger than me, so don't think so much." The fourth elder brother patted Zhen Zhu's head pretentiously, and then suddenly remembered, "You are so old today. Where do you live?"

"When I came out, the Holy Majesty ordered me to give me the courtyard on the south side, and I will clean it up in two days." Zhen Zhu went to Jiangning, but she was injured, and the Holy Majesty couldn't give it to her after all the long journey. As a reward, a gold and silver house and a hundred acres of fertile land were given in private. Now Zhen Zhu can be regarded as a person with family property.

"That's good. Let's go to your yard in the future. I'll bring the sixth brother and the seventh brother. Don't be disgusted." The fourth elder brother put his hands together, very happy, and felt that he had another gathering in private The place.

"Naturally." Zhen Zhu nodded with a smile. The Holy Majesty had no heirs since the eighth elder brother, but at that time it was also because of his ascension to the throne, and the affairs of the court were busy. It's just that in the five years since he became emperor, not a single seedling in the harem has grown. In private, those ministers actually discussed this matter, but firstly, the government affairs are really busy, and secondly, the Holy Majesty already has a candidate, so no one mentions it.

The fourth elder brother bid farewell to Zhen Zhu, the carriage crossed the street and arrived at the place, Zhen Zhu got off the carriage and watched him leave.

Zhen Zhu didn't take anyone with her today, anyway, the fourth elder brother was surrounded by waiters. When he reached the door, the door inside opened with a babble, and he saw Jin Bao, Zhang Qing, and Song Chaoyong occupying a row. There were about twenty familiar boys, and the one next to him seemed to be the chief guard named Archie.

"Young master, you are back, and the place where you live is ready." Jin Bao opened his mouth with a smile, then Zhang Qing raised his eyebrows and said nothing, just glanced at Song Chaoyong, Song Chaoyong pursed his lips, his face There are not many expressions on it.

Zhen Zhu responded, and then took two steps forward. When everyone backed away, he suddenly turned around and waved to Song Zhaoyong.

Song Zhaoyong smiled in surprise, the corners of Jin Bao's mouth twitched, Zhang Qing snorted, then glanced at Jin Bao, Jin Bao made a face at Zhang Qing, then lowered his head and eyes, not daring to overstep.

"I haven't seen you since you got married. How did you come here?" Zhen Zhu looked at Song Zhaoyong in surprise, he thought he didn't follow.

"After the young master went out, my wife ordered me to bring my daughter-in-law with me." Song Zhaoyong smiled foolishly and saluted Zhen Zhu.

"Oh, where is she on duty now?"

"I haven't entered the mansion yet, but I still stay at home." Song Zhaoyong seemed to have nothing to say to his daughter-in-law, and he talked like an ordinary person.

Zhen Zhu nodded, then lifted her foot to enter the door, leaving only Jin Bao and Song Zhaoyong in a turmoil.

Zhen Zhu rested for two days, and then began to have a lively dinner party. After all, she had been away for almost a year, and she wanted to get together with her friends anyway. Fortunately, Zhang Ruoai finally came back. As soon as the Zhang family came back, the Holy Majesty mentioned When he entered university, he filled up the original vacant position, and Zhang Ruoai's eldest brother is now enrolled in the Hanlin Academy.

The two of them didn't have anything to go to, but Zhen Zhu thought that it would be autumn hunting, so she invited them to go hunting, and the two of them took a servant and went to the forest outside the city together.

Zhen Zhu was riding on a horse. He was wearing a riding outfit, layered boots on his feet, dark gray clothes, and the cuffs were tucked up by his hand. He touched the thumb ring and then put his legs on the horse's back and rode quickly for a while. , listening to the sound of horseshoes, the sound of the wind speeding in his ears, and his hair flying in the air, Zhang Ruoai suddenly felt that this friend of hers had really grown up, and she became more attractive after shedding the immaturity of a teenager.

Zhen Zhu rode for a while, turned around and found that Zhang Ruoai hadn't followed, so she turned around and ran over on her horse. When she was almost there, she tightened the rope and turned her head to look at Zhang Ruoai: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just feel like I haven't seen you for a while." Zhang Ruoai smiled.

Zhen Zhu drove the horse over and punched Zhang Ruoai on the shoulder: "I'm ashamed to say, how many years has it been?"

"Yeah, it seems like I've been away for three or four years, it's like I've been away for a lifetime, and I don't have many acquaintances back then, even those who used to hate each other and now I can't see each other anymore." Zhang Ruoai sighed, the dynasty changed, and said The ugly ones who sacrificed were those who were very close to the Holy One in the capital.

"It's useless to think too much, I'm just out hunting today, so don't mention anything bothering me." Zhen Zhu patted Zhang Ruoai's shoulder comfortingly.

Zhang Ruoai's face suddenly lost expression, and then she looked at Zhen Zhu in a daze, Zhen Zhu raised her eyebrows, blinked her eyes, and then looked at him.

"I..." Zhang Ruoai forced herself to speak, but she didn't know what to say.

Zhen Zhu looked at him, a little strange, Zhang Ruoai shook her head, then silently lowered her head to look at her hand holding the rope, the horse under him moved, seemed a little uneasy, Zhen Zhu looked at Zhang Ruoai, feeling that the other party should I wanted to say something, but I didn't say it in the end.

The two of them vented all their frustrations on horseback riding and shooting. Zhen Zhu actually hunted a deer and two white-haired foxes. Because the hole was small, the leather was good. In front of Zhu, Zhen Zhu thought for a while, anyway, winter is coming soon, but she asked the sewing room in the mansion to make some things and waited for the dark, and the two parted ways.

On the second day, Zhen Zhu finally knew what Zhang Ruoai hadn't said, because he was assigned to be a minister in the cabinet, and happened to be working under him. Although he was not obvious among so many people, But he can't stand the other party's conspicuousness, and his previous position was the prince's companion, but now he is directly promoted to the cabinet servant, and others will not be able to tell whether he has been promoted or demoted. After all, the fourth elder brother is still very competitive.

With the first snowfall in winter, the Supreme Emperor really didn’t get through it. The whole country mourned. All places in the capital were hung with white cloths. Zhen Zhu also wore a black and white official mansion, and walked on the way to the Wenhua Palace wearing an official hat. on the way.He stepped on the snow with one deep foot and one shallow foot. Because everyone was busy, the snow on the road was ignored.

He had only walked halfway, when suddenly a sedan chair was lifted out of it, he took a look but couldn't see what the specification was, so he stood aside, bowed his head with his hands folded, anyway, in this palace, he had to do this with anyone, then The sedan chair came to a stop beside Zhen Zhu, and then the waiter standing aside raised the curtain and said to Zhen Zhu, "Please get on the sedan chair."

Zhen Zhu opened her mouth slightly at first, then quickly closed it and swallowed, looked inside hesitantly, and then looked at this strange father-in-law, someone she had never seen before, and he was not even close to the Supreme Emperor. Unexpectedly, the man urged again.

Zhen Zhu bypassed the person carrying the sedan chair, walked up to the curtain of the sedan chair, then bowed her head and stepped in step by step.

He thought that there was no one inside, but who knew that he had just gotten closer when someone pulled him over, and he fell into a warm embrace, and was hugged tightly by the other party. The father-in-law outside shouted, The sedan chair was lifted.

It suddenly occurred to Zhen Zhu that after the death of the Supreme Emperor, the Holy Majesty had nothing to worry about, and now the 49-day lingering period has passed, and the funeral procession will leave for the imperial mausoleum tomorrow. I didn't think about anything.

The road was actually not fast, but it was very fast for Zhen Zhu. He fell into the arms of the other party, and then he didn't know where the sedan chair was carried to. When the sedan chair landed, Emperor Yongzheng led Zhen Zhu out of the sedan chair. Seeing a piece of red, it is similar to the house when other people get married, and different from the people below, the inlaid with the red is gold, and the hovering five-clawed golden dragon, before he can clearly see it, he is dragged to the back room, beside the bed, After being pressed on the bright yellow quilt and the red mandarin duck pillow, it was: the red silk was rolled in waves.

"Are you awake?" Zhen Zhu opened his eyes slowly, and heard someone whispering in his ear. He looked back and saw for the first time the Holy Majesty who had no hair tied up, wearing only a bright yellow unlined garment, with Holding a pen and wearing a memorial, he was covered with a quilt, and then his head, which was a little foggy, gradually became sober.

The only feeling at this moment is probably cool!Very cool!Very cool!

Because the technique is too good or something... He silently guessed in his stomach how the other party practiced, but anyway, it's right for him to have a good time, as if he married his wife for nothing in his previous life!

Zhen Zhu was still silently mourning her ordinary life in her previous life, the Holy Majesty had already looked over, he raised his head, and the expression on his face was rare and gentle, "Wake up, lie down again, there is nothing else important today, I will wait a while Get up, stay here and don't go out, the mansion has other arrangements."

The Holy Majesty touched his little lover's head very thoughtfully, and then ordered someone to prepare hot water. Although Zhen Zhu had washed and washed before going to bed yesterday, it is better to take a bubble bath. After all, with his body, yesterday Still overdone.

"I..." Zhen Zhu just opened her mouth and felt that her voice was not right. He reached out to touch it, but when he saw it, he saw red marks on the inside of his bare arm, and there were marks on the wrist when the other party pressed finger marks.

What's the situation, what happened yesterday, it seems that it's just an accident!It's just a bed. After marrying a wife for so many years, it turns out that the life is spent on dogs?Zhen Zhu widened her eyes, then raised her head to look at the Holy Majesty.

"Well, maybe you've held it in for too long?" The emperor is not a thin-skinned man, seeing Zhen Zhu's reaction, he knew what the other party was struggling with. , Zhen Zhu continued to lie down and pretended to be dead. Sure enough, it takes courage to fall in love with the superior, especially when the other party clearly knows that she is wrong and is playing a scoundrel, let the sadness flow silently along the tears!

Once the relationship between the two people was established, everything became logical. For example, Zhen Zhu had to live in the palace again. Of course, others did not know about it. Taking care of the younger brother, releasing the Seven Sage Kings, and then acknowledging Zhen Zhu's identity, the Li family was inexplicably awarded the Xiangjun, and the young lady was the eldest daughter.

Zhen Zhu inherited the title, and was promoted by the Holy Master to be the Duke of the State, but the only pity is that he and Zhen Yingjia can no longer be called father and son. Calling Mrs. in private, it is indeed impossible on the front.When Zhen Zhu moved into Fuguo Duke's Mansion, people from the Zhen family still came. After all, they were biological father and son. No matter how they were connected by blood, if he inherited the title of a living person, he might have to look at the faces of the people above. But the person he liked had been dead for several years, and the case had just been overturned, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

When Zhen Yingjia saw Zhen Zhu, she was overwhelmed with emotion. As long as Zhen Zhu was there, the Zhen family would never fail, and his pressure disappeared instantly, so his face was full of joy. What's more, Li Shi was pregnant again. I don't know the gender, but at least there is hope.

"If you are born as a daughter, you will choose one of Brother Hu and Brother Lian to inherit the family business. As a husband, you will like Brother Hu. After all, you are older. Your mother thinks Brother Lian is better. After all, Brother Hu My son is getting married and having a baby now, so there are not too many variables." Zhen Yingjia followed her son and did not hide it.

Zhen Zhu was overjoyed. He didn't know that Li Shi was pregnant before, so he was very concerned about it. However, the Holy Majesty refused to agree to anything. It happened that although the Supreme Emperor had only met Zhen Zhu a few times, he just fell in love. After a while of arrangement, this matter can be regarded as wiping Taizu's ass, and all the clan members are happy.

"Although my father is a little old, my mother is still young after all. I don't know if I can have another child after this time. I can't let my brother suffer, let alone my brother is closer." Anyway, Zhen She is not here. , Zhen Zhu was also very direct when she spoke.

Zhen Yingjia took a look at Zhen Zhu and knew that he was supporting her mother, so she also said little, only saying that there was no rush.

From Zhen Yingjia's point of view, Brother Hu and Brother Lian watched them grow up, so there shouldn't be any troubles, but they couldn't stand what happened to Zhen Zhu back then. He and Big Brother were good at the beginning, but this time People's hearts are unpredictable, but the benefits that are within reach are really tempting, that is, in a single thought.

Because Zhen Zhu was worried about Li Shi's health, Zhen Yingjia went back to Jiangning first, and then Li Shi lived in Fu Guogong's mansion and took care of things in the mansion for Zhen Zhu while raising the baby.Zhen Zhu invited the imperial doctor to see her every three days, and she managed to raise her until September. When it was ripe, she gave birth to a younger brother. This younger brother actually had a psychic jade pendant in his mouth, which aroused Zhen Zhu's amazement. To let other people know, he just sneaked a few glances at the Holy Father, and then hung on his younger brother when he returned home.

Because she was wearing a jade pendant, she was called Baoyu, and together she was Zhen Baoyu. Zhen Zhu hadn’t been happy with her younger brother for two days, when suddenly people were calling Baoyu in the street, and then they heard that the second wife in Jia’s mansion gave birth She gave birth to a child with great fortune, and she was born with Yu, whose full name was Jia Baoyu. Because she was young, the old lady of the Jia family ordered her servants to shout along the street, so the whole capital city was washed by the news.

"What's going on, have you figured it out?" Zhen Zhu dropped the cup before she finished a sip of tea. Jin Bao knelt down, nodded and replied, "Exactly."

"This is such a coincidence." Zhen Zhu suddenly thought that the second master of the Jia family was called Jia Zheng, and the first master was Jia She, who inherited the title. The eldest son of the second house was said to have the same name as Jia Zhu. Not to mention the son's birthday, he still has the same name. He thought about it, and ordered Jin Bao to inquire again: "It's best to ask Jia Baoyu's birth date, and the eldest son of the Jia family's second wife."

He must find out what's going on.
