Chapter 67 Marriage
Zhao Qi calculated his life. It has been almost five months since he left Beijing. It is time to go home to see him. Cai You asked him to go home by himself. He didn't wait anymore. It's just a pity that this newly repaired garden has not been done.
The way to move home was to leave a few more people to watch, which was considered a stronghold in Jiangnan. After thinking it through, he immediately ordered people to pack up their luggage and prepare to set off.
"Second Master, the Zhu family sent a post to invite you to the banquet. Are you going?" Zhao Xin came in and asked for instructions just after breakfast.
"Which Zhu family is not Zhu Xie, right?" Zhao Qi said lazily. After returning from Hangzhou, Zhu Xie came a few times, but he was still as respectful as ever, but he became more unfamiliar. Zhao Qi didn't want to get close to him, so it was a waste of time.
.
"No, it's Zhu Yannian, deputy envoy of Changping Warehouse on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Road," Zhao Xin replied, and after saying that, he handed over the post.
"Zhu Yannian, we don't seem to have much interaction with him, why would we invite us?" Zhao Qiong looked at the post and remembered that he had met him when he came to Beijing last year.
"The Second Master forgot that you have no friendship with him, but you have friendship with his lady. Speaking of which, you have been against him and saved her life," Zhao Xin said to the prince with a smile.
"Oh, that's the case, I just don't know what Miss Zhe is now." Zhao Qi slapped his forehead.
"Oh, Second Master, it's Miss Zhu who treats you, not Miss Zhe. You will be sad when you hear it," Zhao Xin teased.
"Hmph, I'm afraid it's someone who knocked the jealous jar over," Zhao Qi smiled with a pun.
"Second Master, are you going or not? The people who came are still waiting outside." Zhao Xin said as if he didn't understand.
"I'll go, it's useless if I don't eat. She has been eating for several days at our house. You can go with me today, let's eat it back." Zhao Qi looked at Zhao Xin and said hatefully. It seemed that she had eaten it.
It's like a loss.
"Okay, I think it's OK, then I'll gather all the guards. Let's go to her house to have a meal, and we'll get back after a meal." Zhao Xin nodded and agreed with the prince's opinion.
"Well, I'm creative. I even brought the sweepers in our yard and the doorkeeper, and I'll eat all the money and profits. The old Zhu family lost all their money and lost their family," Zhao Qiong said 'approved'.
"I'm afraid the second master doesn't want to eat others and lose everything, but wants to eat their daughter back." Zhao Xin turned his face and left. As soon as he left, he heard the prince laughing wildly from the house.
He wants to go back to the house and punch him in a golden light
At noon, Zhao Qiong took He Qufei and Xu Hong to the Zhu family for a banquet with Zhao Xin and two personal guards. He did not mobilize others. To use Zhao Xin's words, "He is shameless, I am shameless." Actually, don't say it
Even if they have a hundred or more people, they have to eat the Zhu family for two years if they want to eat them, otherwise you will be too underestimating the officials of the Song Dynasty.
The official's position is not big, but what does he care about?' He buys food according to the abundance of harvest; collects exemption money according to the amount of property; pays the official's salary according to the severity of service; buys unsold sales
The goods will be sold again to match the prices and supervise local officials. You can understand. This official is not in charge of the warehouse. It is the director of the finance department, the director of labor and human resources department, the director of business and the supervisory department of the province.
Although he is just a deputy, he has a lot of power. Didn’t there be someone who said he is a little power now and now has four or five apartments in his family?
The Zhu family is very close to Canglang Pavilion, and now it is only one stop. There are not many people taking a car or sitting in a sedan chair. They only dress up often by writers and go there. The young and old of the Zhu family have been waiting for a long time.
At the door, I politely spoke to welcome them into the mansion.
"The prince has been here in Suzhou for many days, but his subordinates have not fulfilled their friendship as a landlord. Please forgive me." After entering the hall, Zhu Yannian greeted him again.
"Person Zhu is polite. I should come to visit me, but..." Zhao Qi smiled and said halfway. Everyone understood that he was a murderer. If he went to Zhu's house, he would be scared.
They were scared to death.
"Where, where is the prince joking, the officials are not allowed to ask for it." Zhu Yannian said embarrassedly, "At that time, he was afraid that the prince would come to the door and could not hide, but now it is different. At this moment, the prince is intimidating Jiangnan, and even Zhu Xie has to do so.
He lowered his head and could invite the prince to come to the house for dinner. In the future, no one would have to give him some thin face in Jiangnan.
"Your Majesty, I'll take a seat. As soon as you arrive in Suzhou, I want to invite you to the mansion, but my husband is timid and afraid that others will make things happen and affect the prince's reputation." Because it is a family dinner, there is no hurdle. Mrs. Zhu Bai
He glanced at my husband and asked the prince to sit down and said.
"Madam, you are polite, I'm disturbing you, I'm so frightened." Zhao Qiong bowed and reached out to take the gift box that Wang Fu held and handed it to Mrs. Zhu. "It's abrupt. I don't know if the wife likes it."
"Prince Xie, after my Shuzhen came back from Beijing, she always kept the prince talking, saying that you have the style of Mengchang and the heart of chivalrousness. It was true that it was true when you saw it today." Mrs. Zhu opened the gift box and saw that it was a little bit inside.
The pair of glass bracelets can no longer be sold on the market, and they can't stop smiling.
"Miss Zhu is too good, and now I don't know how many people hate me to the core," Zhao Qi said with a haha.
"No, the prince inspected Jiangnan, eliminated corrupt officials, killed evil officials, and cleaned up bad policies. It won the hearts of the people. Everyone called you the 'Brief of Qingtian'. I wonder how many knowledgeable people admire the prince." Zhu Yannian asked someone to serve tea ceremony to the prince.
"The prince is beheading evil and eliminating evil all the way, and he can really afford the word "Qingtian". Seeing that Zhao Qi was still humble, Xu Hong took over the conversation and said, "When they said this, Zhao Qi turned red and his neck thick, but it was difficult to answer."
I said it, and sat there in awkwardly and tasted tea.
Xu Hong and Zhu Yannian were still in the same class as Jinshi, which was the same year. When they talked about the past, they didn't expect to neglect the host and the guest. Zhao Qi sat there and drank two bowls of tea, thinking whether the deputy envoy Zhu was thinking about
I fed myself with tea to save some food. Unexpectedly, someone came over and said, "Your Majesty, Shu is so polite."
"Miss Zhu..." Zhao Qi was stunned and quickly waved his hand to let her avoid the gift. Zhu Shuzhen looked up and smiled, as if there was expectation and resentment. "Are you okay?" The two of them said almost in unison.
"Haha, if I had known that Brother Nian had a talented girl, I would have thought that's it." Xu Hong looked at the two of them, then looked at Zhu Shuzhen and said with a big laugh.
"Haha, Brother Yuanda is a little girl. He can recite a few poems and make people laugh. How can he be called a talented girl?" Zhu Yannian smiled and asked Zhu Shuzhen to come forward to greet him one by one.
"Prince, I heard that the garden of Deputy Envoy Zhu's house is well built. How about we take a look?" He Qufei said.
"The courtyard is ugly, please move without any hesitation." Zhu Yannian still has confidence in his garden. Since he is interested, he will not hide it. He will do the best to the top and bottom. From the emperor, he fell in love with the garden, and the whole country has also launched a construction of gardens.
The forest boom, especially those who are officials in blessed places, will get the moon first when approaching the water, so naturally it will not be too bad.
It is late autumn now, with all the flowers in the garden withering, and only half of the lotus in the pond is left in the autumn water. Only the autumn chrysanthemums in the garden are blooming, which makes several literati excited and sing together around the chrysanthemum garden. Zhao Qi is most afraid of
That's it. After humming a few words, I sneaked away while people were not paying attention. I walked along a path into a bamboo forest. Zhu Shuzhen followed him quietly when she saw it.
"This little lady is pretty and beautiful, and she is very compatible with the prince, but I don't know if the prince is interested." Xu Hong touched He Qufei and said, looking at the backs of the two.
"Well, it's a pair of beautiful women. Does Hongda want to be a big media?" He Qufei also smiled and said softly. He was also anxious. The prince was old enough to get married, but it seemed that he didn't know what happened between men and women. The queen had also been many times.
He asked Huang Jingchen to bring a message to express his eagerness. The prince did not care at all, but it seemed that the woman from the Zhenzhe family was interested. According to the custom of the Song Dynasty, the prince often married the daughter of the general, which did not violate the laws of the ancestors, but everyone was right.
This marriage is not optimistic. The Zhe family surrendered to the court for generations to guard the northwest. Although several generations have passed, it is no different from the Han people, but its roots are still aliens. The Zhu family women were born into officials, smart, good at poetry and essays, and they will definitely be able to ask for advice.
Being favored by the emperor and the queen can be a great help to the prince, so what if you want to do is to achieve the best
"The Zhu family will not have any objections, but the prince has always been fond of martial arts and literature, and is afraid that it will be difficult to achieve good things," Xu Hong said with some concern.
"The prince is also at the age of marrying a wife. The prince has been pushed by the prince several times when he is engaged in marriage. I am very worried. I think the prince has no disgust for this girl. You can tell the Zhu family about it and see if the little lady of the Zhu family first.
Already engaged? If not, let me take a look first. I will go back and let Huang Daguan know the Empress and see what the Empress meant. "He Qufei, a master, is really dedicated and has a lot of heart.
"It's easy to say, I'm afraid the prince doesn't mean that, wouldn't we be evil people?" Xu Hong saw that Zhu Shuzhen was very angry. If she did this, she would be rejected by the prince at that time, then the little lady of the Zhu family wouldn't jump yet.
river.
"Don't worry about this. The empress will decide at that time. Even if the prince doesn't like it and cannot be the official concubine, I think it's not difficult to give her a title." He Qufei thought about it.
"Okay, I'll find an opportunity to mention it to Deputy Envoy Zhu, and see what he means first." Xu Hong thought about it, let alone the prince, there are two bad money in the family who have married a concubine, even if the Zhu family woman can marry into the royal family, even if she is a woman.
It's not a shame for their side room.
Zhao Qi didn't know that he had been sold by his master, so he took Zhao Xin around the bamboo forest. A large area of Taoyuan appeared in front of him. He couldn't help but exclaim and said, "If I have nothing to do in the future, I will find a pure place, too
Planting such a large peach forest is a great pleasure to live in seclusion in it.”
"Okay, but I'm afraid that the prince can't hold back his loneliness. After a few days, he thought about dancing a knife and gun, which would ruin this beautiful scenery. Then...?" Before Zhao Xin finished speaking, he heard the prince face him.
The peach forest chants poems.
