The husband's son-in-law

Liang Zizhi was promoted to an official a year ago. He was promoted from seventh rank to fifth rank in the Hanlin Academy. Before this year came, he was promoted again, and he was promoted to three ranks in a row.

From Gu Zhao's point of view, this rapid ascent is like riding a rocket, which is simply unreasonable.

Liang Zizhi was not very happy about being promoted, as if he knew what Emperor Tianshun had in mind, not only him, but also that kid from the Du family was promoted quickly, on the contrary, Ziqing's second elder brother, who obviously deserved the merit of being a dragon, Nowadays, there are only decent ones, not to mention the boy from the Zheng family who has fallen in a corner and hasn't moved for a long time...

This chapel——

Liang Zizhi couldn't help thinking about the end of the previous dynasty, when the aristocratic families were extremely prosperous, only the clan was heard of in the local area, but the imperial power was backward, and the aristocratic families privately kept guards in captivity, sitting on a large area of ​​land and hills.Later, Taizu Dali invaded the capital, suppressed the clan with various measures, even opened Enke, and specially selected the poor scholars.

Now looking at the signs, it seems to be back again.Liang Zizhi was from a clan, and he was happy that it was his clan's turn to shine, but he couldn't be happy. He always felt that this situation was the same as the end of the previous dynasty, and the omens were not good.

What can I do if I can see clearly, the building will collapse, and I am powerless to turn the tide.

Not to mention Liang Zizhi, several other old courtiers in Beijing even sighed.

Liang Zizhi wrote the letter, but burned it in the end. He was not able to speak freely and quickly as he used to. Mostly he had concerns. His position was not important, and he was afraid of implicating his uncle.

"Forget it, Ziqing is in Nanjun. I've written a lot and I can't do much. Why bother him." After Liang Zizhi finished reading, he wrote only a few sentences at the end. He only wrote that he was promoted and won the battle. The one next to it is gone.

This letter was still delivered by Liang from the south to Tangzhou to buy goods. When he left, he had to visit two families, the Zheng family and the Yan family.

There are also people in Beijing who are worried, and it is the Rong family who are worried.

After Master Da came back from the palace, he made a few remarks about the situation: The Holy Lord intends to let Jia Erlang go to lead the army to fight...

With this sentence alone, Madam Rong's eyes turned red, "How did this happen? Outside of fighting swords and swords, they are the Twelve Princes of the late Emperor—"

"Be careful."

Mrs. Rong didn't mention it anymore, she just felt uncomfortable, her heart felt as if a knife had been twisted, the Holy Lord intended to send the Rong family's son to fight, this was to praise the Rong family and give the Rong family dignity and glory, just look at how the Zhao family will know, if they win, It is not difficult to confer titles and increase officials afterwards, and such good things naturally cannot fall on the heads of the concubine, but, what if he dies outside?

Sending the son-in-law to go, isn't it killing her?

"Master, why not let the other rooms go?" Mrs. Rong was reluctant to come up with an idea.

Master Rong said quickly: "After you become a noble and become an official, the other honors will belong to the other families. Please think about the situation of the empress in the palace."

In the spring draft, the aristocratic families sent their girls of their own age to the palace one after another. Without Rong Ye, in the end Rong Liuniang, who was just 16 years old from the third wife of the Rong family, was born as a legitimate daughter, with good looks and talents, and was successfully sent to the palace.

Later, news came from the palace that there were two concubines at that time, one was Rong Liuniang, and the other was naturally the daughter of the Zhao family.This is the position of concubine just after entering the palace, a position that many women may not necessarily have until they die.

Below the queen is the noble concubine, and after that, there are four concubines, six concubines, nine Jieyu, not to mention beauties and talents.

Emperor Tianshun could be said to be superficial towards the daughters of the Zhao family, intending to appease the Zhao family. He was naturally close to the daughters of the Rong family. In addition, Rong Liuniang was beautiful, graceful, and young, so Emperor Tianshun lingered around her every night. In the palace garden.

After that, Rong Liuniang often went to sit with the Empress Dowager, sometimes playfully calling her Aunt the Empress Dowager, which was no more intimate than the Empress.Empress Rong has overturned the jar of vinegar in the past few months and swallowed it in her stomach, not daring to show it on her face.

Only when Mrs. Rong visits the palace, no one can express her anger in private. Mrs. Rong naturally persuades her daughter not to get angry. You are the queen mother and the world, and she is your handy tool. Why bother with her? The position is low up.

Empress Rong was angry at her mother's confusion, and immediately said: "It's not like a sister without a mother. The elder sister is dead, and the younger sister is here. Anyway, the empress's surname is Rong. Do you think the Empress Dowager cares?"

The queen mother didn't care, the queen mother was born by Mrs. Rong's mother-in-law, and any younger brother's daughter who became a queen had to call her aunt and queen mother.

"Mother, my life is fine now. If this happens, I, the queen, will have a difficult time walking..."

Now that Mr. Rong said this, Madam Rong was immediately stunned. Thinking of the empress in the palace, she couldn't help but blushed with tears. If Rong Ye could enter the palace that day, no matter where she is now, she would not enter the palace. Rong Ye can also go outside to fight.

No one outside knew that Rong Ye was a brother and he was a legitimate son. It was a good time to go to war and die outside, which won honor and prestige for the Rong family and solved the trouble.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Rong regretted breaking the relationship too early.She was raised so big, so she should use it.

There are thousands of words, but in the end, choose someone, who is it?

Mrs. Rong gave birth to three sons and a daughter. The daughter is the queen of Rong. The eldest son must not be the eldest, so Mrs. Rong said: "Let's be the second child."

Is a worthless.

Master Rong wanted to say no, the second child has no talent and has nothing to do all day long, if he passes by, he will be sent to death, but when he thinks that the elder son is excellent in every way, he is even more reluctant when he gets an official position, so he finally nodded and agreed, let the second child go .

Afterwards, it was reported to the Holy Majesty, and Emperor Tianshun issued an order to the Rong family soon.After Rong Er held the imperial decree to thank him, he looked at his elder brother who wanted to speak but stopped avoiding his eyes, and then looked at his parents, and he knew it right away.

Everyone knows about it, so keep it a secret from him.

Rong Erdan is used to doing nothing, and he is the one who has always been despised by his parents. He married a wife who is not of a high family. Don't give up worrying--

"Father and mother want me to die, how dare a child refuse to obey, there is no need to hide it from me."

"Bastard, what are you talking about, this kind of honor can't be earned by others—"

"Then give this honor to my elder brother."

"Shut up, do you want to disobey me and your father?" Mrs. Rong said.

Rong Dalang felt guilty and troubled to persuade his mother and father not to get angry, the second brother didn't mean it.Rong Er's heart was cold, and finally he only looked at his eldest brother, and seeing the guilty look in his eyes, he said: "Brother, if you treat me as your own younger brother, if I die outside, my wife and children will have no one in the Rong family." You can bully me, otherwise I won’t die in peace.”

"Second brother, don't say bad words."

Rong Er didn't say anything, just looked at the elder brother with red eyes.Rong Dalang nodded, "I'm the one who can't stand you, brothers, sisters and nephews, as long as I'm here, I will protect you."

He knew the holy will, and also knew that his father wanted his second brother to go. Originally, the glory of their house should belong to him, but his father said that you are the eldest son, and the Rong family will be yours from now on. You have to carry the entire Rong family...

Not half a month after the edict was issued, Rong Er packed his bags and set off for the south.

The Zhao family saw it clearly and wrote a letter to Fengzhou. The Holy Majesty was afraid, but after two victories, Rong Jiaerlang was on guard, but that Rong Er was afraid of death.

Emperor Tianshun didn't know that his actions also made the second prince and the first-class assistant king resolutely return to Beijing and take back the throne that should belong to him.

On the day of peace and stability, his good sixth brother will destroy the Zhao family and slaughter his whole family.

The wind in Beijing was turbulent, and then it calmed down again, but it was only a temporary calm.

Zhaozhou.

It was more than August, and the weather was still hot. After Gu Zhao came back, work was much easier, so he suggested that the family go to the beach to have fun. Naturally, the beach was a little sun-baked, but it was fun in the morning and evening.

When Fu Bao heard that going out to sea and taking a boat was very happy, he jumped up and raised his hands in approval.

"Then let's go." Li Zhouzhou said with a smile, it's nothing important anyway.

Li Dating took the boat out to sea, and immediately waved his hands, "No, no, I won't go, I need to water my wheat, weed, and grow vegetables, I'm too busy to go."

"Grandpa~" Fu Bao acted like a baby.

Li Da laughed and said, "Shao Fu Fu came to pester grandpa to act like a spoiled child. Grandpa is old and doesn't like to take a boat. When he goes out to take a boat, he gets dizzy and feels uncomfortable."

"Fufu loves grandpa dearly, so Fufu doesn't want to act like a spoiled child." Fubao corrected himself.

It was uncomfortable for grandpa to take the boat, and the weather was so sunny that he would definitely vomit even if he couldn't eat.Li Zhaoxi just looked at Father and Father, and said, "Let's play for a few days, and come back when we miss Grandpa."

"Good Fubao, grandpa's good grandson, grandpa is growing vegetables at home, waiting for you to eat when you come back." Li Da lovingly patted the child's head.

So let them go.It's not easy for Gu Zhao to force his father, he likes the sea, and going to the beach is a vacation, and if he doesn't like it, forcing him to go is suffering.I went to ask the master and wife in front again.

"Go and have a look." Sun Mu agreed after seeing the old wife nod her head.

Gu Zhao is quite happy, right? They are here, and naturally they want to have a good time in Zhaozhou.

Brother Lin and Liu Tao were also traveling with me—Liu Tao is from the north. He had been on a boat when he came here, but at that time he was full of melancholy and a little scared. Naturally, the experience was not good. This time, he wanted to wave his hand when he said he was going to play. reject.Brother Lin said, "My house is there. Sister, go and have a look. I know there is a seaside where the sand is white and the water is so clear."

"I'll teach you how to swim then."

When Liu Tao thought about it, she would not be able to get wet all over when she touched the water, how good this would be, it was too embarrassing.Brother Lin said: "The boss took us to play before, there was no one around there, there were special people at both ends, and the boss took us, don't worry, if you are shy, I will let the maid at home teach you. "

Said Liu Tao is also interested, so let's go play.

Li Zhouzhou went to the front yard and asked Rong Ye, "...we've arrived in Zhaozhou, and now you can walk around too. It's so boring to be in the yard all day, why don't you go and have fun together, and relax by watching the sea."

Rong Ye wanted to refuse.

"Go, I don't know what's going on with Jiting now. I said before that I would plant more coconut trees, expand the concrete roads in the village and town, and strengthen the houses. Otherwise, it would rain heavily and often rain, and the houses would be easily damaged. of."

Li Zhouzhou had a great time talking, and Rong Ye had a lot of fun listening to it, so he nodded in agreement.

"Thank you."

"Okay." Li Zhouzhou accepted the thank you, and said: "Your clothes are too thick, do you want me to prepare some for you? I'd better prepare some. There is streamer silk in the house, and those clothes for going out to play are also easy to make. You're about the same size as me."

Rong Ye was tall and tall, and his frame could be bigger than Li Zhouzhou's.Li Zhouzhou is tall and slender, with a slightly slender body. In the past, he was as skinny as a stick when he was a teenager, but after raising it, he is different. He looks really good when he has gained some flesh. He has a slender waist, long legs and pectoral muscles.

"You are similar to my husband-in-law." But thinner.

Xianggong is taller than Rong Ye, with a broad frame, and any clothes look good on Xianggong.

"sorry to bother you."

"It's not troublesome, it's a simple matter, then you clean it up, and we'll leave the day after tomorrow." After Li Zhouzhou finished speaking, he didn't stay in the backyard.

The next day, some clothes from Zhaozhou were delivered. There were two kinds, one was a slightly more formal style, and the other was Li Zhouzhou's favorite bunt style in summer. There were two pieces, top and bottom.

Rong Ye wore the first formal style.

Li Zhouzhou knew it already, but he didn't think much of it. Rong Ye looked good in the first style, and he looked like a man of aristocratic family. Judging from his appearance alone, he was a handsome and handsome man, but it's a pity——

Later, when Gu Zhao saw Rong Ye again, apart from other things, the children raised by the rich and precious family had a natural etiquette and demeanor, even if they were down and out, they were different from ordinary people, and it was very obvious.

He is also considered good-looking, but compared with Rong Ye, each has its own merits.Mr. Gu is still very confident.

It is true that Gu Zhao is good-looking, but the superior person is even more tolerant. When he first sees someone, he will ignore the slightly beautiful appearance, and the temperament is kind but unpredictable. Majesty, behavior Not being rude is being straightforward and natural.

And Rong Ye is more like a cold jade statue, beautiful, expensive and cold.

Out of town in a carriage, to Keating.This time, they passed by Jitingfu County and didn't stop there. They went straight to the town where Geer Lin's family was located. They wanted to stay in Geer Lin's holiday yard by the sea.

The Li family welcomes them very warmly.

After settling in, it was very hot and sunny at noon, and it was cool in the morning and evening, and we had to cover ourselves with a quilt to sleep at night.Li Zhouzhou changed into light clothes, Fu Bao was just like his father, the sleeves were almost at the joints, it could be said that they were middle sleeves.

Seeing this, Bai Yin, who followed, watched Fu Bao showing half of his forearm for a long time.

"What's wrong with the fourth grandma? Is my arm dirty?" Fu Bao raised his wrist to see, no, it was clean, and he looked at the fourth grandma with puzzled eyes.

Bai Yin wanted to say something, but in the end she said, "I see that you are dressed coolly like this."

Fu Bao laughed happily, "The beach is too hot, if the fourth grandma is hot, you can roll up the sleeves, like this." He said and pulled it down, and the middle sleeves were rolled up to the short sleeves.

"It's cool, but the fourth grandma is old, so she's not afraid of heat, but cold."

Fu Bao was curious, do people get afraid of the cold when they get older?Grandpa seemed to be the same, so he said: "The fourth grandma should not roll up, and protect herself."

After settling down and resting for the night, Li Zhouzhou led the team to the beach for a swim the next day.

There is a wooden house by the sea where you can change clothes. They are all clear shorts and shorts. Fubao is the first to change. He walks on the sand with his bare feet and plays with his bark with a ball.

"Woof, go here!"

The ball was thrown far away, and Wang Wang ran over quickly, and came back with the ball in his mouth.

Li Zhouzhou said: "Don't go too deep into the sea, just play by the sea."

"Understood, Dad~" Fu Bao shouted loudly.

Liu Tao was shy when changing clothes, she was in the same house, and there were maids from the Li family.

"Miss, don't be shy. After swimming for a while, Boss Li and Boss Li are separated by more than ten feet. If you get into the water, you can't see anything clearly." Li's maid said.

Liu Tao: "Don't call me Miss, just call me Sister."

"Sister Liu." The maid was also savvy.

Liu Tao's clothes were sleeves and trousers, she was shy after changing, she went out to see, she was far away, Fu Bao started playing, no one looked at her, so she went to the seaside with her maid to learn how to swim, the sea temperature It's hot, and the ice underneath is cool and comfortable, but it's a little uncomfortable to choke on the water.

There is also a wooden plank floating inside, which she grasps and swings with her head and legs, which is much easier.

Not long after, there were voices on the beach, and when Liu Tao saw it was Mrs. Sun, she got a little flustered, and then she heard Mrs. Sun say, "You play with you, I'll come and have a look."

Mrs. Sun was wrapped in flowing silk, covering her upper body.

Liu Tao was playing underwater, but she didn't see Mrs. Sun coming down for a long time, and when she turned her head, there was no one on the shore, so she couldn't help asking the girl who taught him swimming, "When did Mrs. Sun leave? I didn't even see it, it's really rude."

The maid didn't notice either.

After playing for a while, I went ashore to change clothes. It was the first time for Liu Tao to play like this. She was wrapped in sea water, and her thin clothes seemed to be naked. It was still in broad daylight. I don’t know why. My limbs are sore, but my heart is happy.

so fun.

Arrived at the Zhuangzi before noon, changed clothes, washed and ate, took a nap, and in the evening, when the afterglow fell, they ate barbecue at the Zhuangzi, which was grilled by Mr. Gu himself, and Li Zhaoxi helped his father by the side, and skewered the meat with his signature.

"Li Zhaoxi can do it. This string is good, fat and thin, and very well-proportioned." Master Gu, who hired child labor, praised.

"Father, I'll make a better one for you."

"Then thank you, I will stay here to eat the best skewer you have."

Li Zhaoxi was praised, he was full of energy, and he was bound to make a bunch of flawless ones. He worked diligently, and Li Zhouzhou laughed beside him, and handed one to Rong Ye to eat.

Rong Ye had an injury on his back, so he didn't go to the beach to play in the morning.

"Try it, it's Ji Ting's fruit, don't look ugly on the outside, peel off the leaves and inside it's a red heart, it's sweet, but don't be afraid the next day after eating it, the red color is the color of the fruit, it's normal."

"When Fubao ate it for the first time, he came to me and his father the next day. He mysteriously said that he was Xiao Xiantong, and that he was born to father and father."

At that time, Gu Zhao: ...

Li Zhaoxi is so confident and inflated, does he have a good sense of existence?

Li Zhouzhou also wondered, Fubao was his own, how could it be fake?

Rong Ye peeled open the fruit, and there was indeed a red heart inside, but he didn't know how to put his mouth down, and the place where his fingertips just touched was stained red.Seeing this, Li Zhouzhou asked his servants to fetch a spoon, "Or cut it up for you and bring it here?"

"A spoon is fine."

The servant brought the spoon.

Li Zhouzhou gnawed on it, but he ate it carefully, so he didn't get any of it, um, his is very sweet.

Rong Ye dug a mouthful with a spoon and put it into his mouth slowly. He was also very particular about eating, and his every move was indescribably good-looking. After taking a few mouthfuls, he paused and asked, "Why does Fu Bao ask so much?" you."

"Oh, this one." Li Zhouzhou just forgot about it with a spoon, and now he continued: "We went to Bolin before, and there was a short mountain over there. My husband went to dig the mountain earlier and found limestone. , It was used to build cement roads. After the road was repaired, the people had never seen such a good road, and it was passed on and it became my husband is a god-man..."

There is still a temple on that hill, called Kaishan Temple, which is enshrined according to the local people in Bolin, is the statue of Master Gu's predecessor.Master Gu was originally a god, when he passed by them in Zhaozhou, he saw the people in Zhaozhou pitiful and poor, so his benevolent heart moved, he abandoned his position as a god, and reincarnated his mortal body to come to the world to help them.

Li Zhouzhou took Fubao there at that time. Fubao must have heard these stories.

Gu Zhao said at that time: "You are the biological child of me and your father, how can you lie? What is 'just'." Is this child at the age of being beaten?

Li Zhaoxi's eyes were shining at that time, and he explained the whole story to his father.

"My urine today is all red, so auspicious, it's the same color as the gate of the Kaishan Temple."

After Gu Zhao heard the whole story: ...

Bright and bright, I admire Li Zhaoxi's brain hole.

Returning to the little fairy boy, returning to urine is as auspicious as Kaishan Temple.At that time, Mr. Gu thought that he would eat breakfast later, so he stopped talking about disgusting people, and then simply gave a popular science to Li Zhaoxi, and eating red dragon fruit would make him huh and huh huh.

After Fu Bao listened to it, Little Fairy Bata's dream was shattered.

Gu Zhao later thought, is this the ancient version of Mary Su's dream?

At this moment, Li Zhouzhou finished talking to Rong Ye, "Don't be afraid—" Seeing that Rong Ye didn't move the spoon, he couldn't help apologizing and said: "My bad, I'm used to my family, so I don't have any taboos when talking , don't eat it."

It's hush hmm again, let Rong Ye eat it anyway.

Rong Ye couldn't eat it anymore, but when he saw the red flesh, he couldn't help but think of those things, but when Li Zhouzhou said, "I'm used to getting along with my family, there's no taboo", the spoon in his hand moved slightly, his face The board was still deserted, and said, "It's not in the way."

They continued to eat.

"Tomorrow, let's go play near the town. There is a temple there with a nice view." Li Zhouzhou asked.Rong Ye is not good at swimming, and it is boring to come here, why not climb the mountain for a walk.

The mountain is very short, not high, and it is not tiring to walk up.

"it is good."

Mrs. Gu finished roasting the first skewer, and shared some with the teachers and wives first, and gave the rest to Zhou Zhou, "Stop chatting, the meat won't taste good when it gets cold, quickly try my handicrafts. .”

"Daddy, Fufu found a bunch of really good ones, so Daddy will eat mine."

"Okay, I'll try them all."

The next morning, I went to climb the mountain. Those who didn’t like to go didn’t go, but they all came out to play, and everyone went out together. The mountain was really short, and there were people who led donkeys along the way, and some people carried things. of.

Fu Bao could run a long distance by bouncing and jumping, but Gu Zhao followed and pulled him back to take him with him.

"If you are kidnapped, your father and I will die." Gu Zhao said seriously.

Fu Bao embraced his father's arm, "I know, don't be sad, father, don't think of the worst."

Gu Zhao touched Fu Bao's head. This was Zhou Zhou's child. He didn't even dare to think about losing the child, so he couldn't help but said, "It's better for you to recruit a son-in-law in the future. You love to play so much, so let's keep it under our noses." Bottom is good."

"I'm not under daddy's nose, and I'm not a little fairy who can change a little bit."

"Why not? You forgot, little fairy boy." Master Gu joked.

"Hey dad, stop talking, I've grown up." Dad laughed at him!

The father and son were playing and playing.Rong Ye, who was walking a little behind, could not help lowering his eyes when he heard and saw it, the conversation with the fifth prince in the past was vivid in his memory.

He is the grandson of the eldest brother, we are relatives, we will not hurt him, and we will be able to send him back safely in two or three days.

At that time, he was thinking about himself, convincing himself that the young master of the Lin family was only going there for two or three days, and he would return safely, but he didn't know how anxious the princess son-in-law Lin's family must be.

How worried.

Later I heard that the princess and the son-in-law drove to Li Mansion at night, and couldn't wait for a moment, so they picked up the child and went back.After that, various gifts were given to Loei Mansion.

The fifth prince scolded Gu Zhao for spoiling his good deeds in front of him, and then sent away some rags from the Li Mansion. Lin Mansion's kindness was actually sent to a small Hanlin.

... He is not.

"Here we are, do you want to go in and burn incense sticks?" Li Zhouzhou asked.

Rong Ye looked up at the small and dilapidated temple gate. He thought about all the past, and when he came back to his senses, he nodded and went in. Looking at the detached clay statue, he knelt down and lit incense.

Then bless the young master Lin Kang'an with good health and success.

Gu Zhao didn’t go in. He took Fu Bao to go and look at the scenery. He didn’t like incense and prayed to Buddha. Besides, he had to pay back his vows if he asked too much. He didn’t have time and it would still be troublesome. I forgot where I asked for it.

Li Zhouzhou went in to burn incense and added two taels of sesame oil money.

Seeing that Lao Zhong took out 50 taels of silver, Rong Ye put it in the merit box. Li Zhouzhou was afraid that Rong Ye would not understand the expenses of ordinary people, so he reminded him in a low voice, "These silver are enough to build a temple."

"I know, the temple has been repaired, and the statue of the god will be rebuilt. Light a safe incense for me." Rong Ye said to the monks in the small temple.

Seeing that Rong Ye knew about it, Li Zhouzhou stopped persuading him. He glanced at the monk. The monk was dressed plainly and patched, but his face was calm and his eyes were clear. He didn't look like a deceitful villain.

"Donor, please come with me and write a sign."

Rong Ye went.

When Li Zhouzhou was in Yuan, he saw Rong Ye's servant, Lao Zhong, sighing with sorrow on his face, muttering that there are not many more, how can he buy a house and settle down in his mouth——

There is not much money left, and I donated 50 taels.

Rong Ye still has a family member that he cares about in his heart. I'm afraid this person is a very important relative to Rong Ye, right?Li Zhouzhou thought, it's good to have something to worry about.

As everyone knows, on the contrary, Rong Ye had no worries in his heart, and now he has paid off his guilt, but he really has no worries.

Afterwards, in Jiting, he still swam out to sea to eat barbecue—all kinds of grilled seafood, Rong Ye was injured and couldn't eat it.

Liu Tao was also happy. On the first day she learned to swim, Mrs. Sun stayed on the bank for a while and then left. On the second day they went to climb the mountain to enter the temple. On the third day, Mrs. Sun arrived and stayed for a while. On the fourth day, Mrs. Sun finally went into the water, although she was wearing a long coat and long sleeves.

"...It's more fun."

Mrs. Sun went ashore and said to her.

Liu Tao nodded, swimming is fun.
