Zhu Hao always felt that Su Xigui's visit to Anlu was not just to relax, nor was he just here to discuss the telescope business with him.
There may be other purposes behind it, but if Su Xigui doesn't say it, it's hard for Zhu Hao to guess. It may be related to Prince Xing's Mansion, or it may be related to Huang Zan or Su Xigui's own future. There is a lot of room for guessing, and Zhu Hao found that it is not very likely.
Good to start with.
A few days later.
Zhu Hao basically didn't leave the palace.
The opera troupe sings and sings, and Zhu Hao makes money.
The telescopes have not been supplied to Su Xigui for the time being. It is estimated that it will take about ten days to build ten telescopes with only a few village children.
Su Xigui didn't send anyone to urge him.
But Tang Yin came over that day and said he had met Su Xigui.
"... I told him about the painting I had done before, and I told him about it at the beginning of the year. This time when Su Dongzhu came to Anlu, I finally had the opportunity to hand over the painting and drink with him."
Tang Yin said relaxedly and comfortably.
When drinking with a wealthy businessman like Su Xigui, the food and wine are much more exquisite than those provided by the palace. If we drink together in some flowery street or Liuxiang... tsk tsk!
"Where can I drink?" Zhu Hao asked.
Tang Yindao: "It's a villa purchased by Dongzhu Su in Anlu..."
Su Xigui would actually buy a house in Anlu?
What kind of statement is this?
"There was a woman at the table who seemed to be from Jiangxi, which made me wary. However, according to Dongzhu Su, this woman will stay in Anlu for the time being and will not return to Jiangxi in the short term... Do you know who she is?"
Tang Yin finally revealed the purpose of coming to find Zhu Hao.
I want to know who the woman with Su Xigui is.
Zhu Hao said: "I didn't go with you, so how do I know who the woman next to him is? But when I saw him before, there was a woman named Fei next to him, who was from a merchant family."
Tang Yin nodded, thinking that Su Xigui would not betray him.
In other words, if Su Xigui really wanted to sell it, he would have done it long ago, without waiting until today, so he would not ask Zhu Hao about those tidbits involving the adult world.
"Zhu Hao, Yuan Changshi has been back to the palace for more than half a month, and I haven't seen any hostility towards you or me... Were your previous worries too unfounded?"
Tang Yin revealed the second purpose.
Now he was not very confident and could not detect Yuan Zonggao's movements, so he had to come to Zhu Hao for advice and see what Zhu Hao had to say about this.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "I heard what Mr. Lu means, do you want him to take action against you and me? He has arranged for his grandson to study under your name. Hasn't he already taken action?"
"A move? What move?" Tang Yin was puzzled.
"Paralyze you."
Zhu Hao said, "You see that you have relaxed your vigilance towards him recently, thinking that he is not hostile to you. Aren't you fooled? The easing of the relationship between him and Zhang Fengzheng is actually just a superficial phenomenon, and you are making suggestions for Zhang Fengzheng. It seems that things are done secretly
, but as the chief historian of the palace, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to investigate this clearly, right?”
Tang Yin shook his head. He felt that he had hidden it well and it was unlikely that Yuan Zonggao would find out.
Zhu Hao said: "In the palace, there are either friends or enemies. As long as you don't become Yuan Changshi's own, you will be targeted by him... In less than half a year, when another Zhang Changshi comes back, you will be in trouble."
Already."
At present, the palace is just a situation where Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Zuo are fighting against each other. Tang Yin can still survive in the cracks, and he can even have both sides, and neither side will take advantage of him.
But if Zhang Jingming returns to the palace, it will be very lively. The three strong forces are fighting for hegemony. If King Xing has anything to do, he can directly ask his three close associates to do it. What else can you, Tang Yin, do?
At that time, even if you just wanted to teach the prince, you still had to see if the palace had the need. Isn’t it easy for the palace to change teachers?
Tang Yin stood up and walked out, scolding: "You boy, it would be a pity not to become an official. At such a young age, your mind is full of conspiracies and deceit. Sooner or later, you will suffer a big loss... just wait!"
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, don't be afraid of anything else, as long as we treat each other sincerely."
"I have no desires or demands, so don't expect me to always stand with you!"
After Tang Yin finished speaking, he walked away.
…
…
Zhu Hao felt that Tang Yin was a little abnormal.
This is a rather subtle feeling. If asked directly, Tang Yin would definitely not say it explicitly. After thinking about it, could it be related to emotional issues?
If Tang Yin encounters something, he will basically discuss it with him, but the only thing he won't consult about is the relationship between men and women.
Romantic talent...
This is a label tailor-made for Tang Bohu by later generations!
There was the movie "Three Smiles" before, and later there was Xing Ye's "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance"!
But Zhu Hao didn't hear that Tang Yin visited any fireworks place after arriving in Anlu. At this time, he couldn't help but wonder, didn't Tang Yin have any personal needs?
The old boy doesn't have any secrets to hide, does he?
School is over today.
Zhu Si pestered Zhu Hao and asked Zhu Hao to make another leather Cuju for him, and followed him all the way to the west courtyard.
There have been no security risks recently. The royal family's control over Zhu Si is not as strict as before. On weekdays, you can move around freely in the palace.
Jinghong was going home, but he thought it was strange for Zhu Si to come to the West Courtyard, so he stayed.
As soon as the three of them entered the gate of the west courtyard, they saw Lu Song waiting there.
Lu Song was also surprised to see Zhu Si coming here.
"Your Majesty, it's best to go back to the inner courtyard after school, otherwise the princess will be worried... let me take you back home." Lu Song hurriedly went over and saluted.
Zhu Si frowned: "Lu Dianzhan, you have nothing to do. You can go back to the inner courtyard to play. Why don't you stay with Zhu Hao for a while? It should be fine, right?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "I'll do Leather Cuju when I get home. You go back to the inner courtyard first. I'll bring you a new play tomorrow. It's a new play that has just been put on by the theater troupe. You can take it and take a look."
"good!"
Zhu Si achieved his goal and saw that Lu Song was there. He could not play with his classmates as he pleased, so he went to the inner courtyard accompanied by the guards called by Lu Song.
When Jinghong saw this, he also packed up and went home.
…
…
Zhu Hao originally thought that Lu Song had something important to do, but after asking, he found out that Lu Song just came to inform Tang Yin, asking Zhu Hao to pick up his mood and go out to the palace to attend the cultural gathering with him.
"Mr. Lu, why don't you come by yourself? He gave us a lecture in the morning, but I didn't hear him talk about it," Zhu Hao said.
Lu Song smiled and said, "He is busy at the moment."
Speaking of Tang Yin's trouble, Lu Song actually smiled, as if there was something worth being happy about.
Zhu Hao asked curiously: "Is it something important? He was nowhere to be seen when it was time to go to class in the afternoon. Is he so lazy because he wants to be replaced?"
Lu Song waved his hand, with an indescribable meaning, and the smile on his face did not diminish: "It's not good to tell you at first, but you are his disciple, it's okay to tell you that you know... Yuan Changshi came to him at noon and said that he wanted to
Introduce him to local ladies and ladies and use them as room fillers for him."
Filling a house?
Sure enough, it's not convenient to talk about this kind of thing to a child.
Is Tang Yin going to find the second spring of his life in Anlu?
Zhu Hao smiled brightly and asked in a gossipy tone: "Which famous lady is she from? How old is she? Doesn't the other party not know his age?"
Lu Song smiled and said: "I don't know the details. I also heard someone from the palace chief Shi Si mention it. I haven't seen the person. Who knows who it is... But I guess I have met him by now... Yuan Changshi took great pains to
, also to allow Mr. Lu to settle down in Anlu with peace of mind, so that he can work even harder for the palace in the future."
Zhu Hao finally understood why Tang Yin had become less hostile to Yuan Zonggao recently.
It turns out that Yuan Zonggao not only named his grandson, but also actively arranged marriage arrangements for him. With Tang Yin's reputation, even marrying a local girl of 16 or 17 as a house filler would not be considered an insult. However, considering Tang Yin's current situation,
Said...Whoever marries him may not be lucky.
Maybe the person Yuan Zonggao introduced to Tang Yin was not a young woman? There are very few divorced couples these days, but there are quite a lot of women whose husbands have died...
Zhu Hao has two in his own family.
"Zhu Hao, you haven't seen your uncle recently, have you?"
Lu Song finished talking about the business, even the gossip, and asked with some concern before leaving.
Zhu Hao shook his head.
Lu Song was a little surprised: "Your uncle is really strange. He hasn't contacted me recently. I sent people to inquire about him. There is no news about him outside the city. I don't even know if he is still in Anlu. In addition, last time your grandfather
He didn't even go back for Zhu Laoqianhu's sixtieth birthday...what on earth is he doing?"
Zhu Hao said: "I'm not familiar with my uncle. I know very little about his character. It's hard to guess."
Lu Song nodded, and the two of them left the palace together.
Zhu Hao was going home to do Cuju and said goodbye to Lu Song when he arrived at the street corner.
"Visit me at my house when you have time. My wife often mentions you. Even Xiao Bing praises you very much. Let's have a casual meal together." Lu Song took the initiative to invite.
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "If I have a chance, I'd like to invite Lu Dianzhan for a drink later."
The two Wang Nian smiled at each other and went home.
…
…
Zhu Hao returned home.
Xiaobai was teaching Xiaoyuan basic arithmetic. Aunt Li was playing with her daughter in the backyard, but there was no sign of Zhu Niang.
Zhu Hao's heart skipped a beat. Tang Yin's so-called blind date couldn't be related to his mother, right?
"Where's my mother?" Zhu Hao asked.
Aunt Li said: "You kid, you haven't come back recently. Your mother wants to open a warehouse in the city. She has discussed with many people and wants to rent a place... It's not an option to keep money in your hands..."
Zhu Hao nodded in understanding.
Zhu Niang had previously said that she would reopen her business, but if she continued to run the shop business, she would need to show her face a lot of the time. Zhu Niang felt it was inappropriate, so she decided to open a warehouse just to show off. Whether she could make money or not was not important, she just wanted to find something for herself.
Things to do.
When you are the boss behind the scenes, you can just settle the accounts.
When Zhu Niang came back in the evening, Zhu Hao asked about the warehouse. Zhu Niang sighed: "Business has been sluggish recently, and the water and land routes to the east are not smooth. I heard that there are several groups of water bandits and mountain bandits in Jiangxi, and there is a lot of trouble."
It was so bad that the trade routes were almost cut off."
Aunt Li heard this and said: "There are riots in Jiangxi every day, but the imperial court doesn't send a senior official to pacify the bandits? Doesn't it mean that Prince Ning is very capable? Let him lead the troops to quell the chaos."
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Auntie, don't count on that Prince Ning. Maybe this chaos was caused by Prince Ning? Besides, Mr. Lu, didn't he just escape from Nanchang and settle down in Anlu because he knew that Prince Ning had other intentions?
?"
Zhu Niang and Aunt Li felt that this kind of thing was not something ordinary people could care about, so they avoided talking about it.
