The Zhen Family Brothers in the Red Chamber

Zhen Zhu knew that when her father came, it was the news from Zhang Qing. If he wanted to go out, he would trouble Concubine De. Pai Zhenzhu felt that even though his feelings for her were not the kind she wanted, she was still very comfortable.

Zhen's family has an ancestral house in the capital, and now he entered the palace to kowtow to the saint, and then talked about his old relationship with the saint for a while.

"I don't know if the old lady is here too?" The saint was very happy when he saw Zhen Yingjia, and he felt that he was not old when he saw Zhen Yingjia.

"The old lady is here too, and everyone in the family is here. The old lady is talking about the body of the Holy Majesty, and said that if she hadn't been able to come in now, she would have kowtowed in front of the Holy Majesty long ago." Zhen Yingjia stood aside, with a smile on her face. smiling.

The saint waved his hand: "What's the matter? After a while, I ordered the queen to invite the old lady into the palace. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much." While talking, he began to recall, and Zhen Yingjia naturally would not remind him I actually met him twice when I went to Jiangnan two years ago, and he also looked grateful and kowtowed in front of the saint.

"My humble minister bows to the emperor for his kindness."

"Get up, get up, you can't talk to Zhen properly anymore." The saint was very gentle to Zhen Yingjia, and seemed to be better than his own sons.

Zhen Yingjia got up in a hurry, but her face was serious: "Although my minister works in Jiangning and other places every day, he remembers the saint every day. I don't know if Zhu'er kowtows to the saint every day. If there is something naughty , the saint can beat him directly, don't let him relax just because of the face of the humble minister."

"Where is it, your son is naturally well-behaved, and he can grind ink for me on weekdays, and he does a good job. Speaking of it, the grand masters who go to the study are all praised." The saint stroked his beard, and then moved closer Zhen Yingjia took a look, "It just doesn't look like you."

Zhen Yingjia sighed, lowered her head in annoyance: "This kid has been raised under the old lady's lap since he was born. I'm too busy. Waiting for my time, my son is no longer like me. Don't be in a hurry .”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it looks a bit similar." The saint laughed at Zhen Yingjia a few times, and Zhen Yingjia then put on a sad face, amused the saint, and waited for him to come out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Mention a word about seeing your son.

After Zhen Yingjia got out of the palace, she got into the carriage when she heard Tong Fu report: "Just now His Royal Highness King Yong sent someone to say that the young master has come out, and let us wait at the Shuangshui Bridge."

Zhen Yingjia glanced at Tongfu, Tongfu nodded, and then Zhen Yingjia thought for a moment: "In that case, let's go."

He followed the sage for nearly an hour, but the sage didn't mention the crown prince at all. Over the years, the relationship between the crown prince and the saint has become worse and worse. If it weren't for the fact that there was a queen hovering in the palace, the father and son would have already parted ways. Let’s divide things, let’s not talk about other things. After the queen mother passed away a few days ago, it was reported that the prince was disrespectful to the queen mother.

Although I don't know whether this matter is true or not, but now the news is all over the capital, and the prince's reputation is getting worse and worse.

He has been getting farther and farther away from the prince, and the amount of money sent to the prince's palace in the past three years has also become less and less, and it is only within the scope of ordinary annual gifts. Firstly, because of the pick-up, the money in the Zhen's mansion has been spent. It's clean, and it's the attitude of a saint. Even the bright yellow silk pieces that were paid tribute to the East Palace in previous years have been revoked, and the prince's costumes that look like dragon robes have also been changed, and Suo Xiang was convicted again.

The sky in this capital city is so changeable that even he can't see it clearly.

Zhen Yingjia thought about it all the way, and waited for the carriage to run for a while before stopping at the side of the road, and then heard a somewhat familiar voice thinking outside the carriage.

"Uncle Tongfu, I haven't seen you for three years and you are still young." The man laughed, and it was the voice of a teenager.

"Young Master, I haven't seen you for three years. You've grown so much that you can barely recognize him." Tong Fu's voice was clearly familiar. Zhen Yingjia thought for a while that the one who could be called Young Master by Tong Fu should be her own son, but When Zhen Zhu left, she was still so young, still a child.

The curtain of the carriage outside was raised, and Zhen Yingjia saw the silhouette of a person with the light behind her back. The back was full of halos, and she was not short. It was completely different from the impression in her head.

Zhen Zhu stepped forward, smiled at Zhen Yingjia, then cupped her fists and bowed, "I haven't seen you for three years, but my father doesn't recognize me?" Zhen Yingjia realized it.

He leaned forward slightly, and then he saw the whole picture of his son clearly.

Zhen Zhu quickly climbed into the carriage, sat down next to Zhen Yingjia, and Tong Fu waited for Zhen Zhu to sit down, then set up the carriage and returned home.

Only then did I really see clearly, I saw that Zhen Zhu was wearing a moon-white silk dress, a peacock feather cloak, a golden crown on her head, and a mop on her forehead, which was the size of a thumb. The cat's eyes are very delicate, and he wears a string of Buddhist beads on his hand, and a finger ring and a ring on his finger. The round index finger is obviously very noble.Zhen Yingjia suddenly felt that it was a waste of worrying all these years. He clicked his lips twice and did not lose his sense of proportion in front of his son. He stretched out his fist and coughed lightly twice.

"Father is here. Didn't he say that he will return to Beijing to report on his work in three years? Why is it already the fourth year? Why have you kept my son waiting for a long time?" Zhen Zhu had a smile on her face, and her fair face was gone. The child's obesity, slightly thin lines, and distinct facial features.

Zhen Yingjia looked at Zhen Zhu and didn't know what to say, but Zhen Zhu seemed to know how Zhen Yingjia felt, so she simply moved forward and hugged her father.

Zhen Yingjia looked at the curtain that was shaken by the running of the carriage. It was impossible to send Zhen Zhu to the capital at the beginning. It was not only for the emperor's favor, but also for the future of the Zhen family. Little, just waited until later, the smile on the old lady's face became less and less, and he only sighed when Mrs. Li was always staring at the little daughter in a daze.

But men and women still have different ways of thinking. Mrs. Sun may occasionally complain that the capital is too far away, but Zhen Yingjia can only hide her loving father's heart, and the letters she communicates are mainly about things.

"Knowing that you are doing well, being a father makes me feel relieved." Zhen Yingjia felt a sense of guilt towards Zhen Zhu, and this feeling of guilt was only felt by Zhen Zhu for a moment, and it took only a blink of an eye. There was no extra emotion on her face, she just looked at Zhen Zhu and said, "This time I came to Beijing, firstly, because the queen mother passed away, and secondly, because your elder sister will participate in the election next year, the old lady is worried, so she will come a year earlier."

"Hasn't the saint already been exempted? Why did you send the eldest sister into the palace again?" Zhen Zhu's face remained unchanged, but she raised her eyelids and looked up at Zhen Yingjia.

"The old lady has an old lady's plan. I will tell you this. I just told the old lady not to ask any more questions. Now that the situation is different, the old lady did not think wrong..." The position of their Zhen family is really complicated. If It's too far away from the palace.

"What's Eldest Sister thinking?" Zhen Zhu remembered that her half-sister was a very thoughtful person.

"She is naturally happy with such a road to Qingyun in the eyes of others." Zhen Yingjia said in a serious manner. After all, they are all the same, relying on the old lady's love for the saint.

Zhen Zhu nodded, he can go to Beijing alone for the Zhen family, who is better than whom?

"It's just that the son doesn't know, but the father is so willing." Zhen Zhu twitched her lips unconsciously while speaking.

Zhen Yingjia put one hand on Zhen Zhu's shoulder, and then shook her head: "If it is possible, how can I be willing to do it for my father? Hey, it's all a crime." Zhen Yingjia originally didn't want to tell Zhen Zhu about her eldest daughter, but now if she doesn't I understand, I'm afraid Zhen Zhu won't let it go.

"You are not a worry-free elder sister. You have gained a good reputation since you went out to socialize at the age of 12. Before you became a father, you told her to keep a low profile, but she didn't listen. Now the sage personally suggested something, otherwise I would not He will bring his female relatives all the way to Beijing."

This is a bit like what her elder sister would do. Zhen Zhu raised her head and recalled it, but she remembered the grievances between herself and her elder sister. If she also enters the palace at that time, the two of them will work in front of the imperial court together. It is impossible to say that she will be dragged down by her die.

Zhen Yingjia didn't know Zhen Zhu's thoughts, but because of the previous incident, he was still a little displeased with his daughter: "If you wait for your sister to enter the palace next year, you don't need to take care of me, the old lady and I will find a good person. Seeing you, I can ask a question, you..."

Zhen Zhu looked up at Zhen Yingjia, Zhen Yingjia paused for a moment, and then looked at Zhen Zhu seriously: "Did you secretly seek refuge with His Royal Highness King Yong?"

Although it looked like a question on the surface, Zhen Yingjia pressed her fingers on Zhen Zhu's shoulder with some force. Zhen Zhu knew that this was an opportunity, so she nodded.

Seeing Zhen Zhu nodding, Zhen Yingjia sighed dejectedly: "Sure enough, it's just why you are optimistic about King Yong. If you say that the prince's decline is seen by others, but now it is King Zhongyong and King Qixian who are more powerful than King Yong." Some strength."

"King Zhongyong is courageous and unscrupulous. Now he looks bright because he has a bright pearl behind him. Since Suo Xiang left, Ming Xiang has not made any progress. Father should know this, and the Seven Wise Kings, apart from other things, just have no heirs." There is no need to think about it." Zhen Zhu analyzed it seriously for Zhen Yingjia.
