Chapter 45: A Model of Pleasure and Sadness(1/2)

Princess Yongkang Mansion.

Princess Deqing came very early and kept restless waiting for the news. Finally, after the afternoon, she saw her sister Princess Yongkang Zhu Xiaoru walking towards her with the book she was familiar with.

When she trembled with her hands, she took the "Fairy Filial Piety" left by her mother. When she opened the book and saw the red words in the book, her eyes turned red in an instant.

"Sister, why... has it become like this?"

Zhu Xiaoru looked at her sister's innocent tears, feeling very distressed, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

"Your brother-in-law came to the door in person, and the disciple said that he had lost the book. He told your brother-in-law that he wanted to find it. He just came back and forth, so he sent the book, saying that it was borrowed by someone, and he would be like this when he came back..."

Zhu Xiaoru felt that any explanation was pale and powerless. The most important thing now is to soothe my sister's wounded heart.

"The emperor sister... wuwuwu..."

At the girl's house, she was very sad when she lost her mother's belongings, but now she has been taken back and has been defiled by someone. She is even more sad. She hugged her sister and started crying.

Zhu Xiaoru comforted her for a long time before finally making her sister cry. She took out a piece of paper with words from her arms and said, "Deqing, look at me, there is a poem here. It has been widely spread in the capital recently. You usually like poetry, can you appreciate it?"

Zhu Xiaoru was smart and even guessed that her sister would be sad, so she had to use the poems and articles she had made to divert her attention.

But at this time, Deqing had the intention to appreciate poetry?

"Look at this poem, the title is "Bamboo Birth in Stone". People in the capital are marveling at the idea and character of this poem, which is also helpful to you."

Zhu Xiaoru recommended it many times, and then Deqing looked at the seven-character poem written on the paper.

Hold on to the green mountains and do not relax. The roots are originally in the broken rocks. They are still strong after thousands of blows, no matter how winds are east, west, south and north.

"You have a lot of knowledge about poetry on weekdays. How do you think this poem is written?"

Zhu Xiaoru was stunned after seeing her sister after reading the poem and couldn't help asking.

After Deqing sobbed twice, his expression slightly recovered and said, "This poem is indeed very good. I wonder who wrote it?"

Seeing that his sister's pain was relieved, Zhu Xiaoru said a little relieved: "I don't know who wrote it, but this poem has allusions. Do you know that Zhu Yunming, a talented man in Wuzhong?"

Deqing nodded: "I heard a little bit, and I heard that his poems and calligraphy are outstanding among the talents of the world."

"It's him. Although his talent and calligraphy are good, he failed the two exams. He heard that after failing this exam, he was stranded in the capital and was depressed. Your brother-in-law had seen him linger in the capital and drank his sorrows."

"But a talented man came to the door personally. Not only did he give silver to help him, he also wrote this poem with him. He hangs this poem in the main hall to inspire himself, and it was once a beautiful talk in the capital, and the students rushed to follow..."

Zhu Xiaoru's words were told gently. Deqing was already very concerned about the literary world. After hearing that, he was addicted to it for a while and seemed to forget that the books were defiled.

Deqing said in a daze: "There is such a legendary thing in the world? It's true like the classical Chinese... "

"No? Even my sister felt strange when she heard this. Why worry about the Ming Dynasty's revival if she had such a keen eye for a wise man?"

Deqing nodded, suddenly lowered his head, and was a little sad again.

Zhu Xiaoru said: "Your sister, don't think too much. Books are filthy, but books are still found. This is just like the state of mind of a woman. We should keep the bright and clear mind first, and not be happy or sad about other things. Shameless as Zhang Yanling is like the law of heaven, and God will deal with him sooner or later!"

When Deqing heard such encouraging words, he felt his heart strong and nodded, "What the emperor's comforted is that the more he wants to make me sad, the more he cannot let him succeed... Sister, thank you."

The two sisters hugged each other and had a deep sisterly relationship.

...

...

Zhang Yanling personally delivered the book to Princess Yongkang's Mansion.

He wanted to explain to Cui Yuan first that the book was lent out, and he might have borrowed several times, so he didn't know who was plagiarizing it on it, but no matter what, he tried his best to get the book back.

If the servants go, he is afraid that he will not be able to explain clearly.

When I came back, Donglaijiu was rushing the bus, not the Nanlai color that Zhang Yanling usually used.

"Master, you have nothing else to do, right? Did you send you home soon?"

Donglaijiu looked anxious.

Zhang Yanling leaned on the wall of the carriage and smiled and said, "Why, I want to go back for a drink earlier? Benjue told them all that he would leave it for you."

Donglaijiu stepped up its storm to whip the carriage.

Before Zhang Yanling left at noon, people from the palace thought they were going to summon them to the palace, but they came to reward Nanlaise. The emperor gave Nanlaise the title of "Loyal and Brave" to reward Nanlaise for his contribution to protecting the Hanlin scholar yesterday, and also gave this boy ten taels of silver.

Nan Laise almost was so excited that he carried it over in one breath.

Zhang Yanling was still waiting for the lawsuit to enter the palace to defend himself. Seeing that even Nan Laise who beat him was rewarded, would the emperor continue to pursue the matter? At that time, he asked the mansion to hold a celebration banquet for Nan Laise to show that Zhang Yanling could make a name for himself in the future.

"Master Nan is really lucky. If he was the young man by his side, he would definitely fight to fight the enemy bravely." Donglaijiu was obviously encouraged and took the initiative to show his loyalty to Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Yanling smiled.

He also fought bravely to fight the enemy, thinking that he was going to the battlefield to serve the Ming Dynasty?

If you beat a group of scholars, you can get the title of imperial gift. It seems that these boys will not be able to work hard in the future.

...

...

Before the carriage reached the gate of Jianchang Bo Mansion, a group of people were shouting.

When we arrived at the door, we saw the celebration banquet held for Nan Laisee in the porch of Jianchang Bo Mansion. Those who were dying still opened the gate of Jianchang Bo Mansion, so that people passing by could see a group of big-sleeved men eating wildly inside.

"Three and six, kill all!"

"Gao! Master Nan is really lucky. Can he win?"

"Haha, I'm lucky."

Not only are I drinking, but I am actually gambling!!!

Arrogant and ignorant, dare to open the door of the mansion and open your throat and drink and gambling. There are no tigers in the mountains. Do you monkeys still want to be kings?

Zhang Yanling rolled over from the carriage and roared, "What are you doing?!"

After this shout, all the twenty or thirty men gathered at the door were stunned. They didn't even have time to clean up the wine table and gambling tools, so they ran out of the mansion and arranged several rows neatly at the door.

The queue is standing well, which shows that Zhang Yanling has been training quite well recently.

But looking at the messy clothes and red faces, how could this group of people look like they were guarding the house?

I miss the bandits more than the bandits who robbed their families!

Zhang Yanling originally thought that these boys had made progress, but now he suddenly felt that the encouragement for them was not enough.

Just as he was about to hold him accountable, a small head suddenly emerged from the crowd and grinned at him. The childish voice came from the excited child: "Second uncle, you're back!"

Zhang Yanling was very angry, but when she saw this guy, her heart sank instantly.

If it weren't for his eldest nephew Zhu Houzhao, who else could it be?

A fearful thought came to Zhang Yanling's mind. Could it be that the emperor also came to leave the palace?

"I will meet the prince."

Without even bothering to scold the unscrupulous servants, Zhang Yanling hurried over to salute.

As soon as he said that, the twenty or thirty strong men at the door were all dumbfounded.

Prince?

What's going on?

They seemed to be awake in the wine for a moment and knelt all over the ground.

"Why is Your Highness here? But are you leaving the palace alone?"

Zhang Yanling immediately searched around, but could not find the figure of the palace guard, but saw a strange middle-aged eunuch standing respectfully among the crowd.

Zhu Houzhao looked proud: "What's the problem? I hid in Eunuch Gao's robe and left the palace with him."

Zhang Yanling was extremely angry. Good guy, the prince actually mingled with a eunuch and appeared in his mansion. If it was known, he would definitely think that Zhang Yanling took the prince out of the palace. What's more, the prince was still watching the people in Jianchang's mansion drink and gambling at his doorstep?

"You don't have to kneel down, get up." Zhu Houzhao seemed very polite to the servants, waved his hand to the servants of Jianchang Bo Mansion, and then turned around to greet Zhang Yanling, "Second uncle, I am here to fulfill my promise and take you out for fun. Let's go in and talk first."

Zhu Houzhao entered Jianchang Bo Mansion uninvited.

Zhang Yanling glared at the old eunuch and said, "Who are you? How dare you take the prince out of the palace?"

"Old slave Gao Feng, I have met Jianchang Bo."

The middle-aged eunuch trembled and reported his name. Only then did Zhang Yanling realize that Gao Feng, one of the eight tigers in the early years of Zhengde, was the one who was in the future. It was estimated that Gao Feng was just working as a servant eunuch in the East Palace.

Whether Gao Feng is guilty is not Zhang Yanling's turn to decide.

Zhang Yanling walked over and grabbed Nan Laise from the ground, shouting, "What's going on?"

Nan Laise was trembling all over at this time, and he was speechless: "Master... I don't know what happened... I had a drink in the mansion before... A child came to knock on the door... I was very clever... The prince... When the young men saw that he was talking, they teased him... I was going to drink with him..."

"Drink for the prince?" Zhang Yanling found that these people were really not afraid of death.

"No... the prince didn't drink it. He tasted it and said it didn't taste good... and then put the wine glass aside. Seeing the young people gamble with dice, the young people did not offend the prince... The young people really don't know that it was the prince... You know... you don't dare to beat him to death!"

Nanlai Sejiu was completely awake.

Extreme happiness leads to sorrow.

I was just given the title of "Loyal and Brave" by the emperor and thought I would make a fortune, but I still couldn't become a phoenix even if I flew on the branches.
To be continued...
