Mrs. Rebirth

Zuo Yunwen and Xue Shi were looking forward to it at home, but Zuo Shaoqing still didn't come back after night fell, Xue Shi had no outlet to vent her thoughts, and could only continue to complain: "Master, look at your good son What have you become? Do you really think that you are a member of the Zhen Guo Gongfu? You really have no sense of shame!"

"Shut up!" Zuo Yunwen's mood has been up and down all day today, irritable and irritable, even the most favored Aunt Yue was scolded when she came in.

He has weighed the pros and cons countless times in his heart, but he still can't decide whether this matter is more beneficial or more harmful to the Zuo family.

The disadvantages are obvious, and Zuo Shaoqing's reputation of cleanliness that Zuofu has always maintained may be ruined in Zuo Shaoqing's hands.

As for the benefits, as long as Lord Lu can help the Zuo family a little, the future of the Zuo family will be bright.

Zuo Yunwen's irritable beard was about to fall off, and he was torn between fame and profit, so he naturally loved and hated Zuo Shaoqing.

Xue has been married to Zuo Yunwen for so many years, although she has not been loved by her husband, she has never been yelled at like this before, and suddenly she felt so sad that she left Zuo Yunwen and went to the backyard with a cold snort.

As soon as she entered her daughter's boudoir, Mrs. Xue was pissed off by the scene in front of her. There were pieces of broken porcelain all over the floor, tables and chairs were tilted in every corner, and the whole room was well placed except for the bed. Everything was smashed. .

"What are you doing?" Xue's chest was tight with anger, "Where are the maids? How can I let you mess around?"

Zuo Shuhui was sitting on the only complete bed, pinching tears, when she saw Mrs. Xue come in, she cried aggrievedly: "Mother, my daughter has heard about it..."

Xue found a way out of the mess, went to sit beside her, and comforted her: "Don't listen to the wind is the rain. The situation is unclear now, so it's too early to say anything." Not like her.

In fact, not everyone believed this rumor. Even the civilians who saw Zuo Shaoqing follow Lu Zheng with their own eyes just felt that the relationship between the two was better than ordinary people, and normal people would not think about going out for a while.

But in the entire capital city, how many families are paying attention to the news of Lord Zhen Guo, and even the slightest disturbance can be exaggerated and publicized.

"That story is well-known, not to mention that the third brother has been away from home, it must be..." Zuo Shuhui felt uncomfortable when she thought of her future husband having sex with a man.

"That bastard!" As soon as Zuo Shaoqing was mentioned, Xue threw down the only intact porcelain pillow on the bed angrily, "If I had known that he was such a virtuous person, I should have gotten rid of him together with his vicious mother!"

Zuo Shuhui shook her body, her fingers holding the handkerchief turned abnormally white, and a stern look flashed in her eyes, "Mother, we can't keep such a bad reputation in our family, the elder brother will be an official in the future, and the daughter will We still have to marry, we can't ruin our family just because of him!"

Xue's heart also started to move. Just now, she was only thinking about anger and didn't think about countermeasures. After being reminded by Zuo Shuhui, she regained her usual calmness.

"Yes, our Zuo family has always been famous for its cleanliness. Even when your great-grandfather fell down, he did not lose the character of a scholarly family. It must not be destroyed by a bastard like him!"

"Then..." Zuo Shuhui looked at her mother with flickering eyes.

"Grandpa Lu is just having fun for a while, just for fun, and it won't take long for him to get bored, so why don't we let us kill or cut?"

Zuo Shuhui shook her head, "No, mother, who knows when Lord Lu will let go, if it takes a year or two, we will be unlucky for a year or two, and by then my daughter will not be able to marry ? Even the eldest brother will definitely be dragged down and lose his future."

When it came to the future of his children, Xue's whole body became bitter, and he said through gritted teeth: "Then just keep going and let him go down to reunite with his dead ghost mother!"

Zuo Shuhui felt a little sweaty in her palms, she tried her best to restrain the urge to refute, and reminded: "This is the capital after all, if he dies, it will be difficult for us to get rid of the responsibility."

The corner of Xue's mouth twitched, "Isn't there still the fifth princess? If Master Jiang hadn't helped you last time, you would have..." Seeing her daughter's face darken, she quickly changed the subject and said, "Let your elder brother take care of this matter." , He has a wide range of knowledge and acquaintances with many people."

"But the eldest brother has always been close to the third younger brother, so he may not be willing to help!" Zuo Shuhui said angrily, curling her small mouth.

"Silly girl, you are his own sister, who will he help if he doesn't help you?"

Zuo Shuhui leaned on Xue Shi's shoulder, "Mother, I knew we would have chosen Cao's family back then, and my daughter regretted it."

The corners of Xue's mouth curled into a straight line, and he patted her on the back to comfort her: "Don't say silly things, how can the Cao family compare with the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion? It's a world apart."

Zuo Shuhui lowered her gaze, of course she knew which was better, but at this point, her hope has become increasingly slim.

Because of the rumors that spread before, it was difficult for her to find a good family other than marrying into Duke Zhen's mansion. No one would want a woman who had an affair with Duke Lu.

If it's true that Mr. Lu likes men, then what else is she going to do?

Mrs. Xue thought that Zuo Shuhui was still thinking about Cao Zongguan, and advised, "Girl, after you get married, you will find that men are unreliable. Cao Zongguan treats you very well, but can you guarantee how long this kindness will last?" ?”

There is no bad man, even if he really loves you, he will inevitably have concubines, and when you are old and lustful, he will even be impatient to look at you.

So as a woman, the most important thing is to marry someone with good conditions. When you have the power in your hands and the family, you don't have to look at the faces of those foxes anymore.

In Kyoto, it's very common for a man to raise a child molester. Don't look at those high-ranking officials who are dignified outside, and there may be chaos in the backyard.

Therefore, even if Lord Lu has some bad hobbies, it's okay, it's much better than the descendants of the aristocratic family who sleep all day long and only know Antu's enjoyment. "

Zuo Shuhui nodded lightly, and had to admit that Xue's words were correct, how can a wealthy family have a couple for life?At least she hasn't seen it.

But she didn't want to think of her mother, living a life of estrangement with her husband, watching her man hang out with other women all day long, and watching the birth of sons and daughters one by one.

Zuo Shuhui automatically ignored the second uncle's house, because in her opinion, the second bedroom of the Zuo family was not really a wealthy family, at best it was just a low-level businessman.

After comforting her daughter, Mrs. Xue went to her eldest son to discuss countermeasures, but she didn't expect Zuo Shaoyan to have a calm expression, as if she didn't care about it at all.

"Mother, don't meddle in this matter, offending Mr. Lu won't do us any good!"

Mrs. Xue frowned, and said in disapproval: "What are you talking about? That scoundrel did such a disgraceful thing. If you don't teach him well as the head of the house, outsiders will only think that we The tutoring is not strict."

"I'm free to arrange this matter, so don't worry about it."

"What arrangement?" Xue asked persistently.

Zuo Shaoyan didn't answer, but took out a letter and showed it to Mrs. Xue.

It was a letter from Jiangfu, Xue opened the envelope suspiciously, and finally had a smile on his face after reading the contents of the letter.

"Is this Mr. Jiang reliable? And why does he help us?" The letter mentioned that the Jiang family will hold a banquet in five days, and will invite the Zuo family to the banquet, and promises that he will have a way to make Miss Zuo Successfully married Lord Lu.

Zuo Shaoyan was silent for a while, and then explained the reason to Xue Shi in a low voice, only that Jiang Shilang also fell in love with Zuo Shaoqing.

Mrs. Xue took a deep breath before digesting the news, and said sarcastically: "I really can't see it, that bastard is so capable, he even seduced one or two of them all fell for him, bah! A foxy son like his mother !"

Zuo Shaoyan only said that the Ruan family has always been a thorn in his mother's heart, and he didn't give much comfort, but asked: "Didn't mother realize that since going to Beijing, the three places have changed a lot?"

"Hmph, that's right, we don't dare to recognize the changes. As the saying goes, women have changed at eighteen. I didn't expect him to be so devastating to the country and the people. Maybe he is really the reincarnation of a vixen."

Zuo Shaoyan didn't know if it was the reincarnation of the vixen, but he knew that the current Zuo Shaoqing was no longer the obsequious son of the Zuo Mansion who was bullied by others yesterday.

Zuo Shaoqing sneezed, rubbed his nose and laughed at himself: "A lot of people outside are criticizing me, right?" Zuo Shaoqing was a little worried that people would throw rotten eggs on the street in the future.

Lu Zheng hugged him tightly and wrapped him in the cloak, "Don't worry, no one will care about it tomorrow."

"Huh? Why?"

Lu Zheng didn't answer him, but instead asked, "Do you know how to divert people's attention?"

Zuo Shaoqing stood up from Lu Zheng's arms, turned around and bowed to him, and said with a blank face, "Please give me some advice!"

"Rumors only stop with the wise, but the world is so ignorant that it's better to keep them away than to stop them."

When Zuo Shaoqing heard this, he knew that Lu Zheng had come up with some clever tricks, and he was somewhat looking forward to what explosive news would come out of the capital tomorrow.

"Then wait for the good news tonight!"

Lu Zheng rubbed his head, walked out of the pavilion with his arms around him, "Go back to the room!"

Zuo Shaoqing was a little hesitant, "It's not good to not come back at night...isn't it good?" In fact, he felt that staying in the town government's mansion before marrying Lu Zheng was a bit unfair, and I don't know if the old lady would agree Would have thought he was a casual guy.

Although men's restraints are not as strict as women's, but if he walks out of the gate of Zhen Guogong's mansion tomorrow, he might steal the limelight again.

Lu Zheng stopped, and directed towards a dark place: "Yinyi, let the butler send a message to the Zuo Mansion, saying that the Third Master Zuo is suspected of cheating in the imperial examination, and my father-in-law detained him."

The corners of Zuo Shaoqing's mouth twitched, and he once again sighed at the skill with which Grandpa Lu opened his eyes and told nonsense. Why did he think that Grandpa Lu was a rigid and upright man before?

Following Lu Zheng into his yard, Zuo Shaoqing stood in front of the door and asked hesitantly, "You must be busy with business, right?" It is enough for outsiders to speculate.

"Come in!" Lu Zheng walked into the bedroom without looking back.

Dozens of candles were lit in the room, illuminating the spacious room brightly. Zuo Shaoqing followed him to the east side of the room. After walking in, he found that it was a study room connected to the bedroom.

The study room has floor-to-ceiling bookcases on three sides. When I first entered, I thought it was the study room of the Imperial College.

The Zhen Guo government's mansion has produced military generals for generations, but it did not expect that the collection of books in the study room is more than that of the big study room in Jiang's mansion.

It's just that Lu Zheng has been fighting abroad for the past few years. Aren't these books dusted with it?

Thinking this way in his heart, Zuo Shaoqing asked the same question, but the answer he got surprised him, "This is specially prepared for you."

Surprised, Zuo Shaoqing walked around the bookshelves a few times, picked out a few books at random, and found that except for a bookcase of military books, the rest were literature and history and his favorite local customs and customs. There are business departments.

"...When did you start preparing?"

"Since you entered Beijing." Lu Zheng said honestly, his idea was very simple, since he planned to be with Zuo Shaoqing, the family should naturally prepare things that he could use, such as clothes, pens and ink, like books...

The original collection of books in the Zhen Guogong Mansion was quite disorganized, and they were scattered everywhere. Lu Zheng thought that there would be a serious scholar in the family, so he asked people to sort out the books, and collected some relaxing words and books from various places. Travel notes, he remembered that Zuo Shaoqing liked to read these.

Zuo Shaoqing's nose was a little sour, and this feeling of being kept in his heart was extremely warm. From childhood to adulthood, only his dead mother and Liu Ma would specially prepare anything for him.

"This study is only for small breaks on weekdays. There is a special office in the front yard of the Duke of Zhen's mansion. If you think it's noisy there, you can pick a courtyard and let someone tidy it up." Anyway, the Duke of Zhen's mansion is very big, and the master has The few are pathetic, and the many are empty yards.
