The Zhen Family Brothers in the Red Chamber

King Yong's knees were a bit uncomfortable, and he was the only one in the carriage, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed it twice, and heard Liu Jinzhong's voice greeting Zhen Zhu outside, before he could withdraw his hand, Zhen Zhu ran away When he came in, King Yong was slightly taken aback, but it was just a pause of his fingers. He was about to withdraw his hand in embarrassment, when he saw Zhen Zhu leaning towards his knee, and looked down. , and then looked up at himself.

"My lord is not feeling well?" Zhen Zhu was obviously very worried, and it could be seen on his face.

King Yong shook his head indifferently. He didn't know if he meant that his knee didn't hurt, or that it didn't matter if he hurt.

"I'll let the imperial doctor take a look when I go back. Although the knee is fine now, it won't be good when I get older." Zhen Zhu wanted to reach out to touch it, but she was afraid that King Yong would be hurt, so she only stretched out her index finger He poked lightly.

King Yong was wearing a standard official uniform, and the trousers inside were dark blue. However, the palace was cleaned after all. After kneeling for such a long time, he didn't even see any dust. Zhen Zhu couldn't be sure where it was. , just carefully touching the raised kneecap, and slowly stroking the protruding part of the knee with his small hand, the corners of King Yong's eyes twitched, and his face changed, but his concentration has always been good, so he also Not as impulsive as the boy, maybe it's because he hasn't been to the backyard for too long, he thought about it, went through the women in the mansion in his mind, and then came up with an idea.

Since Zhen Zhu was leaving, King Yong naturally got the news, but he seemed to be in a hurry, so he ordered the people below to help Zhen Zhu clean up, and he quickly went to the bedroom, and had already changed into a set of clothes when he came out again. , and took a shower, and his hair was wet. He didn't like letting others wipe his hair, so he just sat on the couch and watched other people busy.

Zhen Zhu didn't want to bring anything, anyway, a change of clothes was enough, but Cui Liu ordered Ran Hong, Zhang Qing and others to pack everything, including the pillows and bedding that Zhen Zhu was used to.

"What are you doing with these?" Zhen Zhu pouted unconsciously, and then acted like a spoiled child to King Yong, "Damn you." When he spoke, his little feet were still swaying, and King Yong followed Zhen Zhu's feet and saw Zhen Zhu finger, and then saw Zhen Zhu's face, and remained silent for a while.

Seeing that King Yong didn't answer, Zhen Zhu turned her head to look, only to find that King Yong seemed to be in a daze.

So he stepped forward and waved his hand in front of King Yong.

"No rules." King Yong reached out and grabbed Zhen Zhu's hand, and then hugged Zhen Zhu to the couch, leaning against him, "The seventh brother has left the house and married now, and the eighth brother is still a baby. You Think about how long it has been since Elder Brother has not lived there. Not to mention, I guess the only ones serving inside are those who clean the yard outside, and the maids who clean the yard. Hong goes in with you, Zhang Qing has a different status, but he is more advanced than your school boy, but your school boy is in trouble, do you have any arrangements?"

Zhen Zhu nodded: "I knew that I was going to enter the palace. My father originally ordered a dozen people to follow me to Beijing. There are still some family properties in the mansion in the capital. Let Ah Yong go there. business stuff."

"Is your father going to let that kid stay by your side forever?" King Yong thought for a while, and it wasn't a question anymore, since what he said was a declarative sentence.

"Song Zhaoyong's family are all old people in the mansion, so naturally there is no need to worry." Zhen Zhu now supports all the decisions Zhen Yingjia made. In his mind, his father is extremely smart, and so is King Yong of course.

"Although that kid is honest, he is not smart enough. I'm afraid he will hold you back in the future." King Yong thought for a while, then glanced at Zhang Qing, and then thought about the people around him, "I won't be able to find you in a while. Find a few that are useful, and let’s talk about them when you come out in the future.”

"The younger ones should be promoted more by the lord." Zhen Zhu has recognized King Yong as his master. The corner of King Yong's mouth unconsciously curled up, and then he followed the hair on the top of Zhen Zhu's head, then touched Zhen Zhu's earlobe, and started Soft, King Yong squinted his eyes, and suddenly got up, his large purple robes passed Zhen Zhu and put them on the couch, and put his fingers, the texture of silk, the feeling of lubrication, with a hint of coldness, Just like the coldness penetrating people's hearts in hot summer, Zhen Zhu's eyes widened suddenly, he suddenly realized that he had some kind of longing, his throat was a little dry, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, let go The fingers on the couch scratched subconsciously, but King Yong quickly left the room, taking away the incense that was full of the room.

Zhen Zhu moved into Elder Brother's house with a carriage. In fact, she opened a yard inside. If it is different from the past, it is not so easy to see King Yong. The attitudes are good, not to mention that the fourth elder brother in Yongwang's mansion has a good temper and always takes care of Zhen Zhu. Although the relationship between the third elder brother and Zhen Zhu was not very good before, but after he went to the study, he is also the same. Vice we are our own attitude.

On weekdays, the masters of the upper study room come in rotation. They are not only responsible for the academic problems of the princes and grandchildren, but also responsible for going to the saint's place to give lectures and references every day, so the upper study room is actually directly connected with the previous government.

The difference from when Mr. Liwu taught in Prince Yong’s Mansion is that the lectures here are more in-depth. Things like the Four Books and Five Classics that are admired outside are also taught here. It is definitely not a family opinion. The first skill they light up is fighting for favor, the second skill they light up is party formation, and the third skill they light up is desire.This small capital contains the most prosperous things in the world, and any small emotion is maximized here, whether it is a child who is not very good at talking at the age of three or four, or a child who is already in his teens. At the age of being able to fight on the battlefield, the palace is full of gunpowder.

Zhen Zhu hid her tail and put away her cleverness. He tried to imitate what a child should do to the greatest extent, and then played the image of a bookworm in a crowd of people. He spends a lot of time practicing calligraphy, he almost never leaves the book when he goes in and out, and he has a scholarly spirit when he speaks. The days are slowly passing by as he grows up day after day. Some kind of thought that shouldn't exist was gradually thrown out of his mind, he just thought it was just an illusion, an illusion that couldn't reappear even if he was killed.

In the 43rd year of Shengzu, Laxi, the bodyguard, visited the source of the Yellow River and demanded that he must go straight to the source. On September [-], Laxi returned to the capital. He brought what he had seen and heard for more than five months. This river has caused the saint headache for countless years. But it has its beauty.

"I arrived in Qinghai on May 1th, and arrived in Huhubulak on the [-]th. The scenery there is beautiful. You can see the source of Xingxiu Sea with [-] small springs when you climb the mountain. The surrounding mountains give way, like a Kunlun fairyland. , there is Gulbanharha Mountain on the other side, and Barbuha Mountain on the west side. The three springs flow out of three rivers, and the three rivers flow into one place, and one of them flows into Eringze. The Yellow River comes out from here. Eleven days to return." Laxi said very simply, he only fell asleep and swallowed two mouthfuls of food before arriving in front of the imperial court, the saint sat on the top, the princes on the two sides below, the princes and others, and then there were the princes who were originally there. For the imperial grandchildren who were studying in the study, Zhen Zhu was supposed to be at the end near the gate, but recently the sage likes to let Zhen Zhu grind ink for himself, so he obediently stands at the front.

After Laxi finished reporting, the sage ordered him to find the Ministry of Industry and draw a map of the Yellow River Basin. After that, there would be no such small things like them. Everyone went out from the door. Zhen Zhu also told the sage After that, he went out, and when he got outside, King Yong, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was wearing the official uniform he had guarded, standing alone by the steps with his back to the gate.

Before Zhen Zhu stepped forward, King Yong turned his head when he heard footsteps. Zhen Zhu felt as if he saw King Yong smiling, but when he got close, he didn't see any smile on King Yong. Those dark eyes looked at him seriously.

"Long time no see, how are you living in the palace?"

"That's fine, thank you, my lord, for your concern." Zhen Zhu clasped her fists in salute.

"It doesn't matter." King Yong looked at Liu Jinzhong next to him, who gave Zhen Zhu a wooden box in his arms.

"There are some pieces of silver in it, you can use it first." King Yong left after speaking.

Zhen Zhu looked at the other person's straight back, and felt that the desire in her heart could no longer be held back, he wanted...he wanted!He really wants it!

He wanted to use an irreplaceable position to stand with King Yong, whether it was beside him or behind him.

Zhen Zhu felt that he might be looking for death, and he felt that he might just be confused for a while. He would never know what the friendship written in those books was. He only knew that he wanted to be with each other, no matter what his identity was, and then Woolen cloth?He doesn't know. It may take him a long time to understand what kind of feelings he has for King Yong. It is different from the feeling of a loyal minister in the past. He feels that he is really looking for death. What he wants is not only approach each other...

In the 44th year of the Holy Patriarch, just after the new year, the sage ordered people to prepare for the southern tour. He set off from the capital, passed Tianjin, Jinghai, and Qingxian by boat, entered Shandong on February 22, entered Jiangnan on the sixth day of March, and arrived on the 22th. Yangzhou, arrived at Shuxiu Mansion on the 27th, summoned He Guan on the 28th, left Songjiang on the first day of April, arrived in Hangzhou on the third day, inspected the Eight Banners at the Martial Arts Field on the fifth day, left Suzhou on the [-]th, arrived in Jiangning on the [-]nd, and waited until the [-]th After leaving Jiangning, Run returned to the capital on April [-]. It took more than three months, and there were many experiences and experiences along the way.

But it is a pity that there is nothing about Zhen Zhu in it, he can only know that everything in his mansion is safe from the letter sent back by King Yong, not to mention that he knows that his father and King Yong are really connected. Later, he received a letter from his father, and compared the two, he came to the conclusion that his father was fine, and still fine, but his family had more money than the previous year. Picking up the driver, the sage made a tour of the south, and the Zhen family was the one to pick up the driver, spending all his money.

"Really, more and more, and waiting for the father's debt to be repaid in the future. I don't know when and what month it will be repaid. It is best to have a child earlier, and then work for these emperors from generation to generation, and then pay back the debt. It will take a few generations." Zhen Zhu didn't dare to count how much her father used again this time.

He had an extra copy of Tang Poems at hand, which the sage asked his father to publish, and he also asked Hanlin, who lived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces under his real name, to participate in the revision, so he had another copy that he needed to memorize.

"Master Zhen's family is quite valued by saints. I heard that Master Zhen is now asked to publish the 'Pei Wenyun Mansion'. It is a job that few people can ask for. Now who in Jiangnan doesn't know about Master Zhen's family." Qing has been with Zhen Zhu for almost two years, and now he speaks more freely than usual. At the beginning, King Yong really did not lie. Sure enough, after he arrived at Elder Brother's House, both Ran Hong and Zhang Qing had already come in. After tidying up, the saint found two guards for him to guard the gate, but he still doesn't know the name of the other party, because he has never been in contact with them on weekdays.

Seven-year-old Zhen Zhu is no longer as free as she was six years old. As long as he comes back from the study, he will never leave his yard.

"The lord also ordered someone to bring you some Jiangnan snacks. I heard that he brought a cook from Jiangnan. If the young master misses you, the servants will go to find someone for today's dinner. How about asking someone to cook for you?" Dye Hong cleaned up Looking at the yard, he glanced at Zhang Qing. Zhang Qing was a bodyguard and had a good relationship with the bodyguard battalion. Most of the news was brought back and forth by him.

Zhen Zhu shook her head: "I've been in the capital for more than two years, but no matter how much I'm not used to it, I'm used to it now." He didn't want the dishes in the south of the Yangtze River, but he missed King Yong and his friends who went to other places. The old lady and father far away in Jiangning, okay!It is disrespectful to put King Yong together with his grandmother and father, but as he grew older and gradually matured, Zhen Zhu felt that the existence of King Yong made him feel more and more difficult to get rid of. , he vaguely felt that he was a bit of a moron, but there were no examples of morons around him, so he didn't know whether he was a moron or not.

The 45th year of Shengzu was a year of peace, and almost nothing changed, except that Zhenzhu was rewarded by a saint on her eighth birthday and at the same time received a piece of warm jade from King Yong. Zhu always disliked the cold weather in winter, and he didn't know where King Yong got the news. Fortunately, he gave Zhen Zhu a piece of rare warm jade. Inside the clothes, no one else could see them, but he himself wore them.

Whenever something happened, he would subconsciously touch the things on his chest, and it gradually became a habit.

In the 46th year of Shengzu, the sage made his sixth southern tour. He set off from the capital on the 22nd of the first lunar month, went to Dengzhou in Yangliuqing, Jinghai County on the 25th, then went to Dezhou, and arrived in Jiangnan on the 22th to inquire about farming.This year, officials of all sizes in the capital followed the sage's southern tour. It took half a year before and after. On May [-], the sage returned from Yangzhou. Zhen Zhu had calmed down this time, probably because she was not afraid of paying off her debts. , I used to think that I could pay back some, but now seeing that it is definitely not enough, he stopped tossing, and his correspondence with King Yong became more and more busy.

It seems that the sage also knew that they had correspondence. Several times, the sage gave himself a letter in the envelope of King Yong, so he could only watch and when he suddenly found out, he hurriedly put the letter paper on the table, and knelt down. Kowtow, and then get up to read, but most of them are to let him study hard and then do more activities. Maybe his reputation as a bookworm has spread too far, so the things that King Yong gave him gradually changed from pens and inks to books. Books, clothes and so on, Zhen Zhu's informality has caused Ran Hong a headache for a long time, fortunately, there are people in the palace who tailor clothes for Zhen Zhu every year, and fortunately, the rewards given by the saints are also many.

Zhen Zhu is not well-known, but the characteristic of good memory has been spread throughout the capital. After several investigations by the saint, what he said is quite satisfactory, but he only recites one item. As long as he has read it, there is nothing he does not know. I also did it on purpose, after doing this a few times, it made the sage look at me with admiration. By the way, I would like to praise Zhen Yingjia's son, who is really promising. Of course, the sage himself is the one who praises the most.

Later, Zhen Zhu remembered that before he resigned from office, the most leisurely days in his life were these three years. He got up early to study every day, and he didn't need to care about any other sundries at all. The worst thing was his own sexual orientation. , Then think about whether it is because he was betrayed and killed by his wife in the previous life, so in this life, he has a good impression of a person who should not have any extravagant hopes.

No matter how stupid people are, after these days, they can know how they feel about a person, especially when King Yong gave birth to four sons in three years, and he couldn't sleep well after tossing and turning.

In the 47th year of the Holy Patriarch, just after the new year, the queen mother who lived for four more years really passed away this time. Of course, it is called "death" in the palace.This time, the sixth prince did not make a fuss, because since the second half of the 46th year of Shengzu, the queen mother has been tossing and tossing for a long time. The saint also has some feelings for this aunt. To say that the queen mother is good, the saint can only sigh her saving Don't worry, as long as the sixth prince is by your side, there is no other request.

When the queen mother died, she walked away with a smile, but the sage was still not reconciled. He looked down on the death of the queen mother very much, probably because he was old. After the death of the queen mother, the sage was sick in bed. The prince didn't need to be too anxious at all, but the whole harem seemed to be on some kind of button, giving birth non-stop, the prince alone had seven more, not to mention the princess, the youngest prince was just born in January, and since Looking at the prince here, he feels that his father will definitely survive him. Maybe he is dead, but the father is not dead. After all, except for the first three elder brothers, no children have been born in the prince's mansion for a whole year. Not even pregnant.

In such a comparison, the prince felt more and more hopeless in his life. The saint lay on the bed for three days, and then kept a vigil for the queen mother with a cane. The saint was in a daze, and the saint's eyes flicked over and met the prince. The prince's face twisted for a moment, and then the princess pulled the prince down all of a sudden, and knelt down in front of the mourning hall.

King Zhongyong, who was kneeling at the front, gave a cold laugh. King Yong was expressionless and didn't pay attention at all. King Qing touched two handfuls of tears to complete the task, and then knelt dryly, crying from the beginning to the end. There were only the Sixth Prince and the Seventh King, and King Jing blindly supported the shoulders of the Sixth Prince, not letting his younger brother fall to the ground, and then kept comforting him. The saint saw the two sons who were crying the worst .

"I was brought up by the empress dowager since I was a child. My parents never had a happy day at their knees. On the contrary, the empress dowager always coaxed me like a child. Now that the empress dowager has gone, my heart has been dug out." Most of the time, now that I am old, you can take a trip for me." The saint touched the dragon head crutch in his hand, and then swept it to the bottom, "The prince will go to the temple to fast for three months, and it will be done for me. How about filial piety?"

The prince knelt on the ground without saying a word. As he got older, he became more and more stupid. The queen who was kneeling in front thanked him, and then the prince came to his senses and kowtowed together, and everyone below kowtowed together Yes, those who were far away didn’t hear these things, but those who were close knew it. When the saint left, the queen naturally left with a group of harem concubines. The first to get up was King Zhongyong, He got up and cast a sideways glance at the prince, then strolled past the prince, snorting gloatingly.

The prince's face turned pale, and he stood up in an instant, and brought down the concubine who was kneeling beside him. King Yong followed suit, and then cupped his hands to the prince: "His Royal Highness, my brother is still worried about Concubine De, let's take a step first gone."

Seeing that King Yong was still respectful to him, the prince nodded, and then put his hand on King Yong's shoulder: "I know you are always good, you go."

King Yong nodded, then turned around and went to his sixth younger brother, and then followed King Jing to help him leave. The princesses also bid farewell to the princess, and Princess Xian patted her knee slowly, Then she put one hand on the arm of the nanny beside her, her belly was a little bit prominent, she had been married to the Seven Sage Kings for so many years, and this was the first child in their mansion, since Princess Xian became pregnant, she had never laid down the ground, but Now that the Empress Dowager is dead, it will come naturally.

"I went to see the imperial doctor when I got back to the mansion. I always feel that something is wrong." Concubine Xian squeezed the veil with one hand while rubbing her chest. She frowned slightly and then looked at the Seven Sage Kings.

The Seven Sage King reached out his hand to support his concubine, "Before I came out, I ordered the imperial physician to wait, so don't worry." Then the two left together lovingly.
