At first glance, "The Three Joys of a Gentleman" seems a bit shabby.
Is this kind of happiness too easy to get? Does it count as pursuing an ambitious life? After passing through the ups and downs of the world, when experiencing the rain, snow, wind and frost of the years, the brilliance is washed away, and the complex is cut out and simplified, we find that these simple happiness seem to be
Ordinary, but rare, this kind of happiness is true happiness, great happiness, long-lasting happiness. Looking around, how many people "want to raise their children but refuse to be loved by them". Unfortunately, the parents who gave them blood passed away early, and from now on they can only stare blankly.
Hanging on the wall, there is no room for the regret of "Who can you ask if you have any questions?": How many people who have deep brotherhood and brotherhood are deeply tortured, and the haze is shrouded in anxiety; how many people have done bad things on weekdays, and are troubled by trouble.
Doubtful ghosts, living with trepidation and fear: How many people have gone to school to learn a lot of knowledge, but in the end they have never met a successor who has a clear understanding of the mantle. The knowledge follows them and turns into a wisp of smoke. In this situation, is there any happiness in such a life?
If King Zhennan used these words to report to the emperor, it seemed like he was telling his brother what could make him happy, but in reality he was telling him that if he didn't even trust his own brother, what good things could there be in the world?
Hong Ren's contempt gradually disappeared, and now it was a new look. He clasped his fists in admiration and said: "Master Zhu is still smart and knowledgeable, I admire him!"
Zhu Ziming chuckled and said: "No, no, they are just words from the bottom of my heart." "Words from the bottom of my heart..." Yan Xuanling said with emotion: "Nephew Zhu Xian's words from the bottom of his heart are really thought-provoking."
Seeing that he had been standing for a long time, Yan Xuanling quickly waved his hand and said: "Nephew Zhu Xian, please sit down quickly. I have made you stand for a long time. It is really rude."
Zhu Ziming was of course tired of standing, but he also had to learn to be pretentious. He waved his hands and said: "No problem, no problem..." He immediately sat on the Taishi chair under the desk, and Hong Ren also sat on his chair.
opposite.
After a moment of silence in the study, Yan Xuanling said seriously: "Hong Qiren, this matter has been discussed here. According to Zhu Xian's wishes, I will write a memorial to inform the emperor."
Hong Ren nodded: "Your Majesty, then I will leave first." Hong Ren knew that Zhu Ziming's visit this time must have been invited by the Prince. If the Prince had something to say to him, he would not be able to stay here.
It’s on.
Yan Xuanling knew that his plan was very sensible, and he laughed and said: "I'm here to find nephew Zhu Xian. It's nothing important. You don't need to avoid suspicion."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hong Ren clasped his fists and said nothing. He thought to himself, "The Prince has come to see Zhu Ziming. What's the matter?" I only know that Zhu Ziming is on good terms with the prince and the princess, so he asked him to be the prince this time.
Is it to find out who he is?
Yan Xuanling was not in a hurry to tell the reason for calling Zhu Ziming, but shouted to the servants outside: "Come here, serve tea!"
When three cups of steaming fragrant tea were placed on the table for the three of them, the prince spoke slowly, and his first words almost made Zhu Ziming fall to the ground: "Nephew Zhu Xian,
What do you think of Yudie?
"..." Such a sentence really embarrassed Zhu Daguan. It sounded like someone seeking a son-in-law. Zhu Ziming did not dare to think about it. He smiled and said: "The little princess is well-behaved and sensible, which is good.
Yan Xuanling's eyes were bright and he said: "Does it mean you like her?"
The more he listened, the more he felt that it sounded like he was recruiting a son-in-law. The corners of Zhu Ziming's mouth twitched fiercely: "How do you say this, Your Majesty?"
Hong Ren, who was sitting opposite, was almost ashamed of himself. It turned out that the prince was talking about family matters, and it was also about the princess. At this moment, Hong Ren really regretted it. He knew that what he was talking about was about a man and a woman, so he should leave...
...King Zhennan snorted softly: "Are you pretending to be confused with me?"
Zhu Ziming's head was about to grow. Why did the King of Zhennan keep getting more and more distant? Although he and the little princess had a harmonious relationship, he had always regarded her as his little sister. I was afraid that if he liked her, it would be impossible to talk about it. Could it be...
At this point, Zhu Zi Riyue chuckled in her heart, thinking of what happened in the latrine of the Prince's Mansion. Could it be that the little princess told her father that he spanked her? You know, women in ancient times were not allowed to be touched, let alone spanked.
Such a shameful thing.
The identity of the princess is noble and inviolable. Even if a hundred heads were slapped on her butt, it would not be enough. But Zhu Ziming committed such a heinous crime...
Zhu Ziming did not dare to easily conclude whether King Zhennan knew about this matter. He felt a little guilty, so he had to pretend to be stupid and said:
"The common people really don't understand. Please ask the prince to explain it more clearly."
Yan Xuanling was slightly angry and frowned slightly:
"Don't you know that Yudie has a secret crush on you?"
"This..." "Zhu Ziming was stunned for a long time, what the hell, when did this girl like him? But when it came from his father's mouth, it was really painful to hear..." The prince saw him like this
Her face was full of surprise and inexplicable. It seemed that she was not pretending. Could it be that Yudie had unrequited love? This is not possible. Yudie is the princess. If she said that she had unrequited love for a man, wouldn't it be a joke?
Yan Xuanling nodded: "It seems you really don't know about this."
Zhu Ziming clasped his fists: "Your Highness Mingjian."
"Is that so..." Yan Xuanling's eyes flickered, and then he asked: "Nephew Zhu Xian, since you are on good terms with Yinli, and Yudie values you so much, can you be the son-in-law of my Zhennan Palace?"
..." "Pfft...", Zhu Ziming, who had just taken a sip of hot tea, was so frightened by these words that he spat it out. The tea that he spat out turned into a column of water and sprayed directly on Counselor Hong's face.
On his face, he looked at the drops of tea leaves falling on his cheeks. A few tea leaves were still sitting on his face. It was extremely funny. Zhu Ziming couldn't laugh even if he wanted to.
This is your sister's. She just left the Shen family and avoided the fate of being a son-in-law. Why did the prince's mansion invite you to be a son-in-law? Although the grade of this son-in-law has become much higher, he is just a high-level son-in-law.
Zhu Ziming couldn't laugh or cry. Was he destined to be a son-in-law?
"Your Majesty, this is impossible," Zhu Ziming politely refused and said, "I, Zhu Ziming, am so virtuous and capable, how can I be the prince's son-in-law?"
"You mean you like Yudie?" King Zhennan asked with a change of expression.
"I like it, of course I do," Zhu Ziming said with a smile, "It's just that I always treat her as my sister, so how can my own sister not like her?"
Hong Ren took out his handkerchief and wiped the tea leaves on his face. He complained even more, "I shouldn't have stayed here. Damn Zhu Ziqi Ming, you were frightened, you can't hurt others, and you sprayed so accurately!"
