Chapter three hundred and ninety sixth fulfillment
Zhu Hao returned to Huguang on July 22.
That day he learned that King Ning was defeated and received news from people sent by Lu Song that he had successfully rescued General Lou Suzhen from Pohu.
After Lou Suzhen jumped into the lake, the officers and soldiers should organize a salvage operation.
But the problem is that Lou Suzhen has shackles on her hands. Most people can't even swim in this situation, let alone escape. Even if the officers and soldiers want to look for it, they can't see anything in the dark. Plus Lou Suzhen insists on seeking death.
Struggle, which makes it more difficult to find people.
Who would have thought that there was someone lurking under the water and that they could be rescued?
Tens of thousands of people drowned in Poyang Lake that day, and their bodies were left floating on the water. Under such circumstances, it was still difficult to find Lou Suzhen in the lake.
So the officers and soldiers on the ship shouted and ignored them.
In fact, Lou Suzhen was found by water ghosts who rushed over after hearing the noise for a long time after she jumped into the lake. After injecting oxygen into her with an oxygen tank, she left the official ship under the water at night.
…
…
It was July 27th when Zhu Hao returned to Wuchang Mansion.
Su Xigui arrived two days in advance.
Su Xigui heard that King Ning failed in his attack on Anqing, so he dared to set out for Wuchang Mansion. On the way, he heard that King Ning's troops had been completely overturned, and he finally felt relieved.
On the morning of July 28, the two met at Zhu Hao's residence, which was arranged by Su Xigui.
"Master Zhu, I heard that you have been studying behind closed doors recently. I tried my best to give you some ancient books, but I didn't even touch the door."
Su Xigui heard that Zhu Hao had arrived at Wuchang Mansion early and wanted to know what Zhu Hao would do besides preparing for the exam.
But when I sent someone to inquire, I couldn't find any information about Zhu Hao.
It's rare to meet, so I naturally have to test it out.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Recently I always want to research something good, but I can't find the key. This year I have been manufacturing and selling cloth again, the kind of cotton cloth I mentioned to Dongzhu Su before...Have you seen Dongzhu Su?
?”
Su Xigui had a look of disbelief on his face: "Zhu Xiao is a talented person, but he is just weaving? I'm afraid... it's not that simple, right?"
Zhu Hao spread his hands.
If you want to know what I did, investigate it yourself. Or if you want a treasure that is not available in this world, something that can make you a lot of money, and you suspect that I am selling it behind your back, then you must first find out what rare things are on the market.
It’s popular... why don’t you say something?
"It's a pity that the talented Mr. Tang didn't come to Wuchang. King Ning rebelled regardless of life and death, and finally ended up with no body left. It's sad... Mr. Tang no longer needs to hide in the future." Su Xigui said.
Zhu Hao asked in confusion: "Is Prince Ning dead?"
Su Xigui smiled awkwardly: "What's the difference between the dead and the undead? But I heard that he committed suicide after the defeat."
Because Prince Ning's rebellion had just been put down, even Su Xigui, who had always been well-informed, did not know Zhu Chenhao's exact information, but had heard all kinds of gossip.
"Before I came here, I just heard about a very regretful thing. The extremely young Concubine Lou committed suicide by jumping into a lake on her way back to Nanchang to prove her solar terms. She was truly a heroine."
Zhu Hao was a little surprised. Su Xigui actually knew about Lou Suzhen jumping into the lake?
This can only be explained by the fact that when Wang Shouren found that Lou Suzhen's body could not be found, in order to prevent being held accountable by the court and to avoid anyone using Princess Ning to criticize the Lou family who had a relationship with him, he simply made the news public and informed the world that Lou Suzhen was dead.
, This not only cleared up Lou Suzhen's reputation, but also made this person who was closely related to Prince Ning disappear from the world, and alleviated the Lou family's guilt.
Regardless of whether it was Jiang Bin, the emperor, or anyone who had any thoughts about Lou Suzhen, such as the powerful dignitaries in the court, the Marquis of Jianchang, etc., they could completely put an end to the idea of getting Lou Suzhen.
Zhu Hao pretended to be confused and asked: "Concubine Lou...who is that? Concubine Ning?"
Su Xigui said in surprise: "The young master doesn't know about Concubine Lou? She is a famous and talented woman in Jiangxi. She comes from a Neo-Confucian family. She is as beautiful as a flower. She is proficient in poetry, poetry, and poetry, especially calligraphy and painting. She has heard and heard...
...Haha, she is Mr. Tang's female disciple... Maybe Mr. Tang doesn't want to recall the past, so he didn't mention it in front of you."
Zhu Hao nodded: "In this case, it is indeed a pity, but she is the concubine of the reverse prince after all, so she should have expected the current result."
Su Xigui came over again and said: "I came from the capital and heard that when Your Majesty was on his own expedition, some of his close ministers, such as Jiang Bin, offered a reward to present this girl to His Majesty... The death of Concubine Lou may have something to do with that.
The governor of southern Jiangxi deliberately indulged the relevant people and didn't want them to suffer... It would be a complete success to be able to have a complete reputation after death."
Even Su Xigui felt that Lou Suzhen's death had some "fulfilment" meaning. It seemed that everyone knew about the relationship between Wang Shouren and the Lou family. Knowing that Lou Suzhen fell into the hands of the court and did not end well, Lou Suzhen's death can be said to be a
The best explanation to the court and the people of the world.
Zhu Hao thought to himself that Wang Shouren had made outstanding achievements in quelling the rebellion of Prince Ning in the Zhengde Dynasty, but he was not reused. He had to wait until Jiajing ascended the throne to be promoted to an official position. The reason was not only that Zhu Houzhao hated Wang Shouren for taking the credit of his imperial chariot for quelling Prince Ning's rebellion.
, there was also the death of Lou Suzhen, which made the emperor and Jiang Bin feel that Wang Shouren was deliberately "making trouble".
"Don't talk nonsense. If something happens to Mr. Zhu recently, just tell me. I will stay in Wuchang Mansion for the next half month, and then I will leave for Nanjing to deal with some things. I can't wait for you, Mr. Zhu.
Nominated for the Guiban... Well, if I could have stayed a few more days, I would have received good news from you in the exam, but it's a pity..."
Su Xigui looked very regretful and dejected. Zhu Hao smiled and comforted: "If I am really lucky enough to go to high school, even if Su Dongzhu is thousands of miles away, he will send someone to tell the good news. I will have to ask for help from you then."
Good luck."
Su Xigui slapped his thigh: "Are you that stingy person? I will definitely give you generous gifts when the time comes!"
…
…
On the second day of August, Lu Song and Yu San arrived in Wuchang Prefecture by boat. Along with them came Lou Suzhen, who changed into plain clothes, wore a coarse cloth and hairpin, and did not apply rouge.
Zhu Hao met him at the dock outside the city.
After not seeing each other for several years, Zhu Hao could tell at a glance that this was the woman who sent Tang Yin to spend money outside Nanchang City. She was just a lot more haggard, with a slight blush on her pretty pale face, and a sickly feeling. It was nothing.
Spirit.
The ship docked and when the group disembarked, Zhu Hao asked about the situation over there with the water ghosts.
Lu Song came forward and briefly introduced the situation, stating that everyone had been arranged to go back to their hometowns, and was repeatedly told to keep silent, otherwise it would lead to disaster. As for the commissions, all the commissions were paid to him in advance by Zhu Hao.
"This lady choked on the water in the lake and had some wind and cold. She has been ill for the past few days since she came ashore, or she may have heart problems..."
Lu Song looked back at Lou Suzhen.
Zhu Hao nodded, stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "My dear Zhu Hao, I am Mr. Tang's disciple. When I left Nanchang City with Mr. Tang in the 10th year of Zhengde, I had the honor to meet my wife."
Lou Suzhen set her sights on Zhu Hao. Although she was not in high spirits, she still looked at him carefully. Unfortunately, she did not remember that she had seen Zhu Hao before. Maybe it had been too long, or she had never trusted a child back then.
, I had already forgotten all about it and shook my head again and again.
"Where is your master?"
After a while, Lou Suzhen asked in a weak voice.
Zhu Hao replied: "Sir, I am staying in Anlu. I am here because I went to Wuchang to participate in the competition... You should know who this Lu Dianzhan is. In fact, we have worked hard all the way this time, and it was your master who secretly arranged everything."
Lu Song looked at Zhu Hao with strange eyes.
Do you dare to say that Tang Yin arranged everything? He seems to have no idea at all! But it was you and King Xiaoxing who planned it secretly. You two kids are so bold, and you can succeed?
"Right now, there are rumors that Concubine Lou has thrown water into Po Lake and was buried by Wang Zhongcheng, who led the troops. The matter has been finalized. As for Lu Yin and others, I will have someone take care of it for Madam, but Madam will have to accompany me for the time being.
As a maidservant, I will stay outside Wuchang City and wait for me to return to Anlu together after the competition." Zhu Hao said.
Lu Song said: "If it is inconvenient for Master Zhu, I can take my wife back by myself."
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Brother Lu, the ground in Huguang is not peaceful now. There are officers and soldiers in Wuchang Prefecture and surrounding counties setting up checkpoints to search for defeated troops. At this time, it is better to hide in Wuchang Prefecture first... There is no need to enter the city. This
You can see merchants coming and going everywhere on the ferry outside the city, just find a place to stay...it's not too late to leave after the wind calms down a little."
Lu Song thought for a while and nodded in agreement with Zhu Hao's instructions.
After all, Zhu Si had spoken first, and when traveling, he followed Zhu Hao's arrangements for everything. He himself came to Wuchang on the pretext of accompanying Zhu Hao to take part in the imperial examination. It was impossible for Zhu Hao to go back first before the examination was finished... So what?
Explain the significance of this trip to your colleagues in the palace?
Lou Suzhen looked at the two people in front of her curiously. One was a royal magistrate who was famous for his achievements in defeating thieves, and the other was a child...but it was this child who made the final decision.
"Are you...really Mr. Tang's disciple?"
Lou Suzhen was in disbelief.
I have never heard that Tang Yin had such a disciple, and he was still so young.
Lu Song said: "If it's true... Young Master Zhu is studying in the palace and is now a student. With his talent and learning, he has a great chance of high school in the provincial examination."
Lou Suzhen couldn't help but frown when she heard this.
I have heard of how arrogant people with extraordinary talents can be, but I have never seen anyone boasting like this. Even with Tang Yin's great talent, he had to be nearly thirty years old before he passed the exam. A child who passes the exam can be said to be knowledgeable, but
Why do you dare to say that the provincial examination, which not only tests knowledge and knowledge, but also tests luck, can allow a young man to pass at will?
Are you people in Prince Xing's Mansion so confident in him?
"Madam, please don't say anything. Because my wife often shows up in Nanchang and is known to many people, I try not to go out recently. I will send someone to hire a maid for my wife, and then find a female doctor to diagnose my pulse. In addition, I will leave the security to you."
Give it to Lu Dian."
Zhu Hao gave Lu Song a meaningful look.
It seems to be saying.
I'm giving you an advantage. Although Lou Suzhen is not young anymore, it is considered a plus or minus for you to take care of such a graceful and noble woman, right?
