The Zhen Family Brothers in the Red Chamber

King Yong's Mansion is located in the east of the capital. It can be regarded as the general's palace left over from the previous dynasty. Today, he ordered people to tidy up and gave it to his son to live in. King Yong's bedroom is located at the bottom of the central axis of the courtyard. It is a study.Zhen Zhu's room was on the left back of Prince Yong's courtyard, adjacent to the study, and he could see the window of King Yong's bedroom when he looked up, which was considered close.

The elder brothers in the mansion live behind the courtyard of Concubine Yong, followed by the courtyards of the two side concubines, and further away are the places where several concubines live.Flowers, birds, and mountains and rivers gathered in the courtyard, and even Zhen Zhu, who took care of the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, would have to sigh about its majesty.

Zhen Zhu followed Cui Liu to her house. King Yong took King Jing to dinner and went to the study together. The three separated after the entrance of the courtyard. Take some rest, and tomorrow I will go to study with my husband."

Zhen Zhu nodded obediently, and then bid farewell to King Jing: "The villain will leave on his own, please don't blame me, my lord."

"Go, go, you think too much, now that you are in the third brother's house, you can see each other every day, if you pay so much courtesy, it means your father taught too much, this is not good." King Jing Originally, she was more easy-going than King Yong, but when he said that, Zhen Zhu's teeth came out of laughter.

Zhen Zhu didn't know Cui Liu, but Cui Liu did know Zhen Zhu, she brought Zhen Zhu to the house, opened the door and asked Zhen Zhu to go in, and when she got to the house, Zhen Zhu's eyes lit up, the interior furnishings were extraordinary, The most important thing is that it is somewhat similar to the house in my own mansion.

"The house was specially ordered by the lord to clean it up. If Master Zhu is not used to living there, he will tell the servant, and the servant will order someone to change it. In the mansion, there is Zhangqing and the young master who will serve you in the future, and they know each other well." Speaking of the door, two people, a man and a woman, came in and knelt down in front of Zhen Zhu.

"How can this be, get up quickly." Zhen Zhu hurriedly reached out to help, but unfortunately Song Zhaoyong was not around, and he didn't have any extra silver in his hand, and was about to untie the gold pot in his hand but was stopped by Cui Liu.

"The visitor is a guest. If they accept it today, they will be kicked out of the palace tomorrow. Young master, let's keep it. The servant who came with the young master yesterday will be able to see you tomorrow. It's just that there are more rules in the mansion, and they need to be careful." Say, is the young master in a hurry?" Cui Liu looked at Zhen Zhu with a smile on his face more than usual.

Zhen Zhu shook her head, Cui Liu bowed and took her leave, leaving only Ran Hong standing in the house, and Zhang Qing also left the house.

The inside of the room is separated by a screen, the inside is the bedroom, and the outside is the desk. The desk is facing the chrysanthemums that are just blooming outside, which is incomparably brilliant.It was very hot at this time, but this room was not very hot, maybe because of the grove behind the yard and the stream flowing in front of the yard.

The serving girl was tidying up in the house, Zhen Zhu sat at the desk and looked at the prepared books, the same set of Four Books and Five Classics, there were annotations on it, the words on it obviously belonged to King Yong, it should be the prince himself. He was a little surprised by the book he was using, but he carefully read it.Anyone who has studied books knows that among the Four Books and Five Classics, only the Doctrine of the Mean, the Analects of Confucius, Mencius and other classics need to be memorized, and then the Book of Songs, Book of Changes, and hexagrams need to be learned, but they don’t need to be too precise.Scholars in the former dynasty liked to divination, and they had to take out copper coins to calculate when they had nothing to do. In the current dynasty, this habit was gone. Some people just went out to read the almanac to count the days. The more important things, the more they had to believe. Today, because the former kings hated Buddhism so much, they simply let go of Taoism.

Zhen Zhu was watching seriously, when she heard Ranhong from outside came in with a bowl of sweet soup, with some broken ice on it, she carefully placed the bowl beside the desk, and said, "It's the princess who ordered the soup to come in." I brought it for the young master, it’s like today’s fever and fatigue.”

"Thank you, Princess, for me." Zhen Zhu pushed the book a little farther away, and was about to reach for the bowl, when she saw that Ran Hong had already pushed the bowl to her, and put a spoon on it by the way.Zhen Zhu scooped up a spoonful and put it into her mouth, it was really cold, so she finished the bowl of dessert with a whimper. Seeing that Zhen Zhu had finished drinking, she packed up the bowl and went out.

Ran Hong went out the door, Zhen Zhu wiped her mouth and got ready to go to bed, she had washed up at noon anyway, so she took off her coat and got under the quilt. Blow out the candles and go out.There should have been a night watchman, but now there are only two people.

When Ran Hong left the door, she saw Zhang Qing standing aside: "The young master of the Zhen family is sleeping now, I'll go back first, and I will replace you tomorrow morning."

Zhang Qing nodded: "Why didn't I see hot water, did you wash up?"

Ran Hong snickered: "Such a young child, didn't he wash up at noon, why is he so particular about it?"

Zhang Qing's identity is a little different from that of Ran Hong. Although he thinks it's wrong, but after all, it's a big man. It's normal for him not to wash up for several days when he was out with King Yong. Thinking about it like this, he calmed down, "Before Seeing you carrying a food box, where are the things?"

"Oh, I forgot if you don't tell me, it's the first day of service." Ran Hong said softly and went back to the room, took the basket from the corner, turned her head to look at Zhen Zhu, and saw Zhen Zhu quietly. Lying on the bed without moving much, she tiptoed out the door. Zhang Qing helped Ranhong close the door quietly, and then Ranhong gave Zhang Qing a look at the food box: "It was sent by the girl from the second elder brother's side." It is said that the concubine ordered someone to make it for several elder brothers. Although the young master of the Zhen family has just arrived, he must not be without it. Didn’t it mean that the emperor ordered him to study together in the future? After all, the second elder brother is older, so he can win contacts for the third elder brother chant."

Zhang Qing glanced at Ranhong disapprovingly: "You and I belong to the princess, don't talk about the affairs of the house, let alone elder brother, it's not like you don't know that since the elder brother passed away, the princess has I can't see the kids."

Ranhong grinned and stuck out her tongue. Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Qing reached out and squeezed Ranhong's face, which made the little girl blush just like her name.

Ranhong patted Zhang Qing embarrassingly, then twisted his waist and was about to leave when he heard a noise in the room. Zhang Qing took a look at Ranhong and opened the door to enter the room. The room was pitch black, only some moonlight was left The window came in, Ran Hong hurriedly reached out to light a candle, and saw Zhen Zhu fell off the bed, but fortunately there were footrests underneath, and the footrests were covered with the mattress of the night watchman, so she should not be injured.

Zhang Qing approached Zhen Zhu, and saw that Zhen Zhu was covered in cold sweat, her face was pale, holding her belly with her hands and screaming for pain.

"What's the matter!" Ran Hong quickly reached out and touched Zhen Zhu's forehead, Zhang Qing suddenly thought of something, glanced at the food box that Ran Hong left by the door, did not say anything, just reached out and hugged Zhen Zhu to bed.

"It's just getting dark now, I'm going to see if the prince is in bed, the concubine's place must have already locked the yard." Zhang Qing ordered Ran Hong to wait on Zhen Zhu, and he turned around and was about to go out.

After all, Zhen Zhu has an adult soul. While covering his stomach, he told Ranhong to vomit, and Ranhong hurriedly brought the basin over. As soon as he brought it to Zhen Zhu's mouth, he saw Zhen Zhu vomit heart-piercingly. Yes, not only the ice bowl I ate just now, but also the food I ate at night. I vomited out the digested and undigested food. I was used to serving people with red stains, so I naturally didn't show any disgust. Zhu wiped her mouth, and sat on the edge of the bed to pat Zhen Zhu on the back.

When Zhang Qing went out, he went to the study room. When he got there, he saw that King Yong was reading a book. King Jing had already left. Liu Jinzhong, who was serving by King Yong's side, saw Zhang Qing, and asked, "Didn't I ask you to serve Master Zhu?" Well, how did you come here?"

"The young master has a stomachache for some reason, please report to the lord, the young one can't get out of the yard, please don't come to the imperial doctor." Zhang Qing spoke quickly, and was about to raise his head when the clothes of the four-clawed golden dragon floated in front of his eyes. He knelt down, and some cold sweat unconsciously broke out on his forehead.

"Take this king's token and tell the imperial doctor Chen to come. You can go with this king." King Yong knew that Zhen Zhu was busy when he saw Zhang Qing from inside. He got up and took two steps outside when he heard Zhang Qing Qing reported, and unconsciously quickened her pace, and when she was outside, she ordered Liu Jinzhong to invite the imperial physician, and then asked Zhang Qing to lead the way.

When King Yong arrived at Zhen Zhu's room, the inside was already full of smog. Zhang Qing hurriedly opened the doors and windows, but King Yong walked in non-stop. When he entered the door, he saw Zhen Zhu taking the clear water that he had just put into his mouth. He spat it out, followed by another heart-piercing sound of vomiting.

Zhang Qing came over with a clean towel and washbasin, King Yong reached out to take the towel and wiped Zhen Zhu's face, dyed red and went out with the dirt in his hand, the smell in the room finally eased, Zhen Zhu in the end Stopping vomiting, he turned over and lay on the bed panting, his face turned blue.

"What's going on here!" King Yong threw the dirty towel on the ground and looked back at Zhang Qing.

Dye Hong from outside also happened to come in, and when he heard the words, he knelt on the ground three or four steps away from King Yong, knocking his head to the bottom.The two of them didn't say anything, and they didn't beg for mercy, because in Prince Yong's mansion, what King Yong hated to hear most was the voice of begging for mercy, and anyone who said more than one sentence might lose his head.

After a while, Liu Jinzhong brought the imperial physician into the door. The imperial physician Chen was young and wanted to salute when he saw King Yong. King Yong waved his hand and only told the imperial physician to see a doctor quickly.

The imperial physician pinched Zhen Zhu's wrist for a while to check her pulse, then ordered Zhen Zhu to stick out her tongue coating, followed by Ran Hong to take a look at what Zhen Zhu spit out.Then he said to King Yong: "It's okay, it's just that I ate the wrong food. It should be caused by some acclimatization and eating too messy. Prescribe a prescription for a few days to recuperate."

"I'm sorry, imperial physician. Please ask the imperial physician to go down and prescribe the prescription. After the medicine is boiled, come over and order people to clean up everything inside and out." King Yong ordered people to send imperial physician Chen down, and then he picked up Zhen Zhu and squeezed it with his hands. Pinching the child's mouth: "Let you be greedy, see, you will be punished."
