Chapter 8: Prince and son-in-law

"You don't know who they are?" Aunt Xu asked in surprise.We said, "Who does the aunt think we are? It's just two female disciples. How do you know so much?" Then we found out that the prince has four sons-in-law. Xia Weiyuan, as for the one they call fourth brother every day, the son who saved our lives is called Wei Pu.Everyone in the house also called him Young Master Wei.After the introduction, Aunt Xu finally sighed, "They are all the confidantes of the prince. They all have great power in their hands!"

After hearing this, Pearl thought of someone. "I didn't expect the prince to have so many sons-in-law!" I also thought of that person, and nodded slightly involuntarily.Mrs. Xu went in without knowing it, and was taken aback for a while, looking at this and then at that, "How do you say that?"

"Ma'am, I don't know, but we in Suzhou also have a prince's son-in-law."

Mrs. Xu was even more stunned, "Nonsense again! Why is there another son-in-law from Suzhou!"

Pearl then pointed at me and said, "Ma'am, if you don't believe me, just ask Chuan Ge. See if I'm right?"

I also nodded.The prince is in Suzhou, and he really has a son-in-law.This person not only exists, but also had a connection with my life with Pearl at one time.

When I was nine years old, I went to Suzhou and lived in a large courtyard called "Humble Administrator's Garden".Although the garden was beautiful, because of the war, it gradually fell into disrepair at that time, and the owner disappeared.Several Shouma families in Suzhou took the opportunity to place their own girls in the house.At first the world was fine, but suddenly one day, the government came and wanted to take the garden away.We had no choice but to move, and we were so tired that we lived without a fixed place for a long time.

The reason for moving away has to do with the prince's son-in-law in Suzhou... I later heard that the governor of Jiangsu took the garden back to please the prince's son-in-law.Mrs. Xu saw that both of us said that, so she had no choice but to believe, "What's the name of this son-in-law?" I said, "How do we know his name? Normally, just call him Mr. Wang." Pearl said, "Did you believe me this time? I also heard that, in addition to buying the Humble Administrator's Garden, the governor also selected [-] mu of fertile land and gave it to the son-in-law and the little princess for rent."

Mrs. Xu recited a Buddha, and said: "This must be a fake. Three thousand mu of fertile land is a huge piece of land, but where do you want to collect it? Singing songs, don't you think so?" I thought for a while, and said : "I don't know. Anyway, everyone in Suzhou knows that Mr. Wang is the son-in-law of the prince, and they all know that his family is very powerful, and no one dares to provoke him."

Pearl said: "That's not true. One year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we went out to look at the lanterns. There was a big family named Zhu who lit up pearl lanterns at the door. People who went to the street that day crowded to see. Chuange and I At that time, I was still young, so I also slipped out of the door to look at the lights. Who knew that there were so many people who praised them, and it made the neighbors jealous, so they sent their servants to break all the lights." Mrs. Xu was fascinated by this, and couldn't help saying: "Then What should we do? The Zhu family will be annoyed too?" Zhu Zhen smiled and said, "My aunt guessed wrong. The Zhu family just watched without saying a word. Even the people around watching the lights, there was no one. Dare to come out and say something fair."

Then stop talking.

Mrs. Xu has gradually listened to the drama, seeing the pearl, she doesn't say anything, she guesses it by herself. "Then, that neighbor must have something to do with Mr. Wang?" Zhu Zhen shook her head and said, "No. The neighbors of the Zhu family don't know Mr. Wang." Mrs. Xu said, "Why is that?"

I see Pearl blindly whetting Mrs. Xu's appetite.After taking over the conversation, he confessed honestly:

"The reason why the Zhu family can't offend their neighbors is because the owner of the neighbor's house is an official of the "Xuan Xuan".

The so-called Western election: It means that this official is not appointed by the current sage, but appointed by the prince.Just because it was appointed by the prince, no other officials could afford to offend him.

At that time, the Zhu family was also very clever. Knowing that the neighbors had the backing of a strong dragon, they swallowed their anger and silently swallowed this humiliation that day.It wasn't until he had the opportunity to treat Mr. Wang to a meal that he felt elated: the neighbors didn't have to wait for anyone to settle accounts with him, but when they heard that the Zhu family knew Mr. Wang, they panicked and left Suzhou overnight. I don't know where I went.

After listening to Mrs. Xu, she called Amitabha.Said: "This is revenge. But what about those who can't afford to invite Mr. Wang to dinner?" After speaking, he shook his head, "Sure enough, no one in the world is as big as my family." I heard that Wang Ye's men, Those who dare to whip the imperial court officials are really believed today."

Immediately, I remembered the small people I saw on the street when I entered the mansion.Think of their dark faces, wooden eyes, and humble gestures.Now I stay in the palace without worrying about food and clothing, and I can see all the splendor and wealth everywhere, and I am full of ambition.Only now did I realize that behind the prosperity of the Princely House lies the struggle and helplessness of thousands of people.After a while of silence, Pearl screamed.

"Oh, is that son just now the little prince of the mansion?"

Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, then lowered her voice, and said, "It's almost the same, but it's still a little bit worse." Pearl and I were confused: What do you mean is almost the same, but still a little bit worse?How can you be sloppy about this kind of thing?

Mrs. Xu pursed her lips. "Although our lord's family is very powerful, it's almost impossible to care about heirs. The son you mentioned is the lord's nephew. He is 27 this year and his name is Wu Yinglin."

"Oh," Pearl and I replied together, "So it's not Young Master Lin, it's Young Master Lin."

Mrs. Xu looked at us several times, and said, "The prince is weak, so he cherishes this nephew very much. He treats him like a little prince. That's why I said, it's about the same, but it's not so good after all." Zhenzhu said in surprise: "It's strange, the Houfu is such a big place, and there are so many maids and maids. Didn't you have a son?" Mrs. Xu shook her head: "What does the girl's family look like when she talks like that?" Then she said, " The prince naturally has a son. It's just..."

We listened impatiently, "But what?" We were still puzzled, why did the master and son make such a fuss, all of them were "sons-in-law", why didn't any of the prince's own sons show up?

Aunt Xu pursed her lips tightly again, and said, the young prince is the only tiger species in the palace, Zhang Fujin's own flesh and blood.But spoiled since childhood.At only 13 years old, he is already a demon king. "

By the way, she also said that the little prince's name is Ying Xiong, and his name is Mengxiang.

I was silent for a while, and then I couldn't help saying: "Jimeng Weihe, Weixiong Weizhen, it is said in the "Book of Songs" that this is auspicious for giving birth to a boy. From this name, you can see the joy of the prince. If you want to calculate it carefully, he will also see it Almost sixty."

Mrs. Xu said: "Isn't it? For this bloodline, he has been looking forward to it for many years. I just thought about those things that oppressed the world, and I hated him in my heart. Suddenly talking about this, I can only feel sorry for him. " Pearl was stunned for a moment, and said: "Could it be that the calamity caused too many people to receive blessings?" I suddenly thought of Yongli Shengshang and Empress.There was a ding in my head, as if someone had knocked suddenly, it was loud.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly recited the Buddha again, and said: "This is the heart disease of the prince for many years. The reason why Mrs. Green went upstairs to copy the scriptures was to ask the palace to have more children and blessings. But this..." She lowered her head and went down. He said silently, "Forget it. Let's be good people too, and just chant a Buddha. After all, the prince is well, and everyone will be better off."

Pearl and I stayed together, and we quickly recited Amitabha in unison.

Mrs. Xu glanced at us, her eyes suddenly changed a few times. "I don't know who Master Lin is here for today?" Zhu Zhen said, "Who else is there, of course it is my sister. Didn't Madam see the way Master Lin looked at my sister?"

My face was flushed, I pinched her arm, and said: "You're talking nonsense again!" But thinking about the way Mr. Lin looked at me just now, I couldn't help but jump in my heart.Mrs. Xu looked at both of us, a little surprised, and asked hesitantly, "It's only a day's work, how does he know about you?"

My face turned red again, and I told the story of how I was rescued after the horse was startled yesterday, and then I showed my face in front of all the masters again.Mrs. Xu listened attentively and was stunned for a long time. "Let's just say you two are blessed. I didn't expect to be so blessed. If you were one step ahead, or one step late, and you didn't meet Mr. Wei, you two would be dead."

Pearl said: "Ma'am now you know? At that moment, my sister and I stood in front of these masters for a long time. I think at that time, Mr. Lin had a heart. That's why I'm thinking about it today, and I want to draw the elder masters and the younger masters." Here we come." Mrs. Xu was thoughtful, but she didn't say much.Just in time for the chiming bell outside the house, it rang.Mrs. Xu got the reminder, patted her body, stood up and said: "I'll go see if the uncle wakes up." After finishing speaking, she left the two of us and went by herself.

After a while, he came back again and said, "But I'm still asleep. Just wait a little longer."

The two of us sat with Mrs. Xu.When there was nothing to do, someone knocked on the door outside and said, "Come out quickly, Mrs. Lin's housekeeper has arrived." The people in the room were startled, and everyone rushed out to welcome them.Looking closely at the person, it turned out to be the man in Tsing Yi who took the lead in the morning.After seeing us, with a smile on his face, he came to ask the uncle if he was sober.

Hearing that the man was still asleep on the bed, he said, "My young master is thinking about this too. I'm afraid that the uncle will sleep here all the time and delay the rest of the girls because he doesn't care about trifles. Master is going home." Mrs. Xu said: "Thank you for your generosity. It doesn't matter, Master Guo's family is waiting at the concierge."

The steward nodded and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, ma'am. I haven't finished my words yet." After speaking, he directed the people to carry the boxes and cages outside into the house one by one.After I finished my work, I just came over and handed over a list, "Ma'am, I will order later, these are the things that Mr. Lin gave to the two girls."

The aunt stood up, bowed and thanked her, and said, "How can you bear it?" The man smiled and said, "Don't say that. The girls just pick what they like, and put it up as they like. Next time the young master comes, he will also like it when he sees it, right? He also said, "Rouge gouache, gold hairpins and jade rings are just for the girls to wear and play with. There will be better ones coming tomorrow."

I blushed as I watched the man bow and retreat step by step.After collecting so many things, it's really impolite not to say a word, but I got angry a few times, and my throat seemed to be locked.It just turned my face redder - I have blushed more times in the past few days than in the previous ten years.Mrs. Xu looked at the boxes and cages on the ground, then at my face, and said suddenly, "I'll go and see Mr. Guo."

After such a long time, Master Guo finally became more sober.When people ask him yes, he can answer, and he can stand up and walk around.Mrs. Xu waited on him, washed his hands and face, and fed him some sour soup to sober him up.The Guo family helped him and got into the carriage.Mr. Lin's family also escorted them away.

And so, the next day passed.
