My Brother-in-law is the Prince Chapter 207

  Chapter 207 Uncle and Nephew's Family

   Zhu Zhanji still drooped his head, looking listless.

  Zhang Anshi said patiently: "Your masters scolded you?"

  Zhu Zhanji shook his head: "It's just boring."

"It's right to be bored." Zhang Anshi said gratifiedly: "I am bored after seeing those reading and lectures. These **** don't know anything. They have only read a few books. They say they are full of poetry and books. Almost blind."

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhang Anshi in a low mood and said, "Uncle, everyone says that I am the eldest grandson, and I will inherit the great line in the future, but I think... I will inherit the great line, why should I learn this and that? What's the use of learning? Isn't uncle also ignorant? No..."

  Zhang Anshi's face suddenly changed: "What is this talking about? Go out and find out. My uncle and I are outside. How many people say that uncle is rich in education? It makes no sense. Who taught you to say this? There are traitors in the East Palace."

Zhu Zhanji drooped his head, still very depressed: "If I succeed the emperor and become the emperor in the future, everyone will listen to me. It's not just what I say. But why do I still have to listen to this today? Listen to that tomorrow, even if you walk inappropriately, you will still be told? Even if you say something wrong, you must teach me to be cautious. Also... I wrote a wrong word, some books I can't read, and some people will beat their chests and fall their feet , as if his mother died..."

Zhang Anshi understood Zhu Zhanji very well, touched his head, and comforted him: "Hey, let's take a step back, although those few masters who taught you are not good people, but in any case, they said this because they are good to you. Have hope."

   "Expectation?" Zhu Zhanji raised his eyebrows and said, "Expect me to be promoted to their official position in the future?"

"It's possible. Of course, you don't want to be fooled by them. When you become emperor in the future, you have to remember that whoever really treats you well, you treat him well. Those people are all bad-hearted, uncle will not It's the same, Uncle dreams of you every day."

  Zhu Zhanji said: "But Uncle still didn't tell me what to expect. Forget it, let me be quiet by myself."

  Zhang Anshi thought for a while and said, "What is the expectation? This... I can't say."

   After a pause, Zhang Anshi said: "How about...I'll take you out for a walk, and you will know what to expect."

  Zhu Zhanji opened his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a little bit of starlight in his eyes for a moment, and his voice seemed to become active: "Take me out to play?"

   But immediately, the excitement in his eyes dissipated again, and his voice became low in an instant: "That won't work, my father and my concubine will scold me, and my concubine doesn't like my appearance very much these days."

Zhang An Shizhi said proudly: "You underestimate your uncle! There is nothing in this world that your uncle can't do! Just wait, I'll go and tell my elder sister that she has turned against the sky, how dare you not listen to me?" brother's words."

   After finishing speaking, he went to look for Mrs. Zhang, but soon came back with his head drooping.

   "Uncle, what's the matter?"

   "Poor." Zhang Anshi said with a bitter face: "Women don't understand anything."

  Zhu Zhanji also lowered his head, squatting on the ground with a stick to write and draw: "I knew it."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Don't worry, you have to talk to your brother-in-law about this matter. Brother-in-law is easy to talk to. As long as I say it, would he dare not agree? Just wait."

   After finishing speaking, Zhang Anshi went to Zhan Shifu Zuochunfang in the front hall, and found Zhu Gaochi who was toiling in front of the copybook.

   "Brother-in-law."

  Zhu Gaochi was very happy: "You still know how to come, come, sit down."

  Zhang Anshidao: "Zhanji said that he wants to go out and have fun."

  Zhu Gaochi's face turned green when he heard this: "This child...is getting worse and worse. If the emperor knows, I will be the one who will punish him."

   As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi sighed, looking preoccupied.

Zhang Anshi said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, isn't it normal for a child to be ignorant? I thought about it, he was just confused for a while, but if I stop him, he will be thinking about it every day, even if he is afraid, he will not study hard." .I asked about his studies, and it was a complete mess. Fortunately, I am his uncle. If it was his father, I would not be able to beat him to death."

  Zhu Gaochi's thick eyebrows moved, showing a faint murderous look.

Zhang Anshi said again: "In the past few days, he has always been distracted, his temper has changed, and he is unwilling to study hard. If this continues, what can happen? Otherwise, let him go for a walk. Don't worry, brother-in-law. At that time, I will transfer people from the 300 Model Battalion to escort, and nothing will happen."

   "This..." Zhu Gaochi said hesitantly, "I have to ask your sister."

  Zhang Anshidao: "You don't need to ask, brother-in-law... My sister has always been suspicious of you these days... You'd better not ask her."

   "Suspicious?" Zhu Gaochi couldn't hold back anymore: "What's wrong with me?"

  Zhang An Shidao: "I can't say it well. I always feel that when she mentions her brother-in-law, there is something in her words. Maybe I am overthinking."

  Zhu Gaochi sighed and said: "I am here to read the ticket every day, what else can I do? You have to persuade me later, you are siblings, so it is easier to talk."

  Zhang Anshi fully agreed: "Brother-in-law, don't worry."

  Zhu Gaochi said: "But the matter is very important, even if your elder sister doesn't say it, father's emperor..."

  Zhang An Shidao: "Your Majesty has been worried these days, saying that brother-in-law has no opinion on weekdays."

  Zhu Gaochi's face stiffened instantly...

Zhang Anshidao: "Brother-in-law also knows what kind of hero His Majesty is. Of course, I hope that my descendants will make decisions on the fly, and have a bit of tiger and wolf spirit. My brother-in-law is usually too hesitant about everything, which makes His Majesty unhappy sometimes. Sigh... I don't know what to say, maybe my brother-in-law is like this by nature, but it's time for my brother-in-law to show some courage to His Majesty."

Zhu Gaochi was still a little hesitant, and murmured: "With you and the model camp, I don't worry about it. The only thing I worry about is...whether it will affect Zhanji. He is still young and wandering around is not a good thing. What's more In the past few days, he has no intention of going to school, and if he goes out again, he will be even less interested."

  Zhang Anshidao: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I've thought about it. This is very good for Zhan Ji. The so-called reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles! Brother-in-law, listen to me, there must be nothing wrong."

  Zhu Gaochi thought about it seriously, and finally said: "Forget it, you should be more careful, and...you must be considerate. No one in this model camp can slack off."

  Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief.

  In the early morning of the next day, the people from the model camp quietly came to the East Palace just as the morning light fell on the ground.

  Zhang Anshi tiptoed to Zhu Zhanji's dormitory, very rudely woke up Zhu Zhanji who was still asleep, and said cheerfully: "Go, I will take you out to learn a lot, sister don't know..."

   Who knew that just now when she looked up and looked out of the window, she saw Mrs. Zhang standing outside the window, sneering at him.

   Zhang Anshi felt chilled, and quickly touched Zhu Zhanji's head: "See you as if I haven't been here before."

  Zhang Anshi hurriedly got rid of Zhu Zhanji's dormitory, intending to escape.

"return."

  The voice was not loud, but Zhang's voice was well conveyed into Zhang Anshi's ears.

  Zhang Anshi had no choice but to stand in front of Mrs. Zhang: "Sister, I'm just..."

There is no anger on Mrs. Zhang's face, but she said seriously: "Since you want to take Zhanji out, you must be careful. I have left it to you. You can't afford to make any mistakes. And the current weather Han, I need to add two more clothes for him, he has a bad stomach these days, don't give him greasy food, I will give you twelve hours, within twelve hours, send him back obediently.”

  Zhang Anshi hurriedly nodded his head, and said cheerfully: "Yes, yes, yes... There will be no mistakes. Who am I, sister still doesn't know?"

Mrs. Zhang's face is gentler: "Zhanji, this child, has been afraid of my mother since he was a child, and he is not close to his father. He only kisses you. In the palace, I have already informed the mother, and the mother did not say anything. , I'm only worried that Zhanji will catch the cold, in a word, what he looked like when he went out, and you will send it back when he comes back."

   Zhang Anshi raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and said, "Sister is so kind to me, I...I..."

  Ms. Zhang said very directly: "Don't pretend, you won't be able to cry."

  The movements of Zhang Anshi's hands stopped immediately, and then he sighed and said, "Then I'm leaving."

   Immediately, he went into the dormitory and dragged Zhu Zhanji out, cursing in a low voice: "You must have betrayed me again, hey...you like to sue at such a young age."

  Zhu Zhanji said: "I can't deceive my mother and concubine."

  Zhang Anshi sighed silently, not knowing what to say.

  The carriages and horses had already been prepared outside the East Palace, and Zhang Anshi carried Zhu Zhanji into the carriage.

   Immediately, under the **** of his subordinates, he went straight to Qixia.

  Through the curtain of the car, Zhu Zhanji looked at the scenery outside like a bird in flight.

  Zhang Anshi was thinking... how to take advantage of this opportunity...

  After finally arriving in Qixia, Zhang Anshi got off the car and carried Zhu Zhanji down. Here, Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu, and Qiu Song have long been waiting here.

  Zhang Anshi said: "Fork Qiu Song out first, he is more dangerous."

  Qiu Song sniffed, and looked at Zhang Anshi resentfully.

  Zhang Anshi had no choice but to touch his head and said: "This is for your own good, go and practice your belly."

  Qiu Song didn't struggle any more, and obediently said, "Oh."

   Then he walked away in a hurry.

  When Zhu Yong saw Zhu Zhanji, he grinned happily: "Ah, I have seen His Royal Highness."

  Zhang Fu also smiled and said: "I have long been looking forward to the arrival of the emperor's grandson. You have to remember me, the emperor's grandson. My name is Zhang Fu."

  Zhang Anshi waved: "Don't scare him."

  Zhu Zhanji said: "Uncle, I am urgent to urinate."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Come... come..."

   Ask someone to fetch the urine bucket.

  Zhu Yong stretched his head to look, but Zhang Fu grabbed him: "Second brother, don't break the rules."

  Zhu Yong muttered in a low voice: "I just want to see what's different about Long J. Which one is older, me or the emperor's grandson?"

  Zhang Fu: "..."

  Zhang Anshi wished he could kick this guy away, and cursed speechlessly: "You are a long-sighted, short-sighted thing, that's what you can say? Get out of here."

  Zhu Yong was scolded, and hid away with a dark face.

  Zhang Anshi first prepared the meal and led Zhu Zhanji to eat. Zhu Zhanji said, "Uncle, where are we going next?"

Zhang Anshi glanced at Zhu Yong, then at Zhang Fu, and said, "I've thought about it, and I'll take you to a good place. Once you go there, you will know what to expect. Uncle has already arranged it for you." Come on, change his clothes..."

   Zhu Zhanji was dizzy... was changed into a commoner clothes, and then was taken away by Zhu Jin.

  Of course, there are still many people in casual clothes protecting them.

  After walking for a short time, I saw a huge work shed, which was connected to a large furnace next door, and here was a coal yard with a large amount of ore piled up.

  Many people shuttled through the coal yard in darkness, and then picked up the coal, and then they were pushed away with a wheelbarrow.

   "This is a coal yard. People here are hired to sort coal. Only good coal can be sent there for refining, and then sent to steelmaking..."

   Zhu Jin continued with a smile: "Master Hou said, you stay here until you finish work, work for a few hours, then he will pick you up."

  Zhu Zhanji: "..."

  Zhu Jin winked at the guards, who were only wandering in the distance. Immediately, Zhu Jin recruited a man who looked like a foreman and gave some instructions. The foreman nodded and led Zhu Zhanji away.

  Zhu Zhanji looked at the huge coal mountain. From time to time, someone sent new coal by car and horse, and someone sent out selected coal.

   This is actually just the simplest process. Because of its simplicity, most of the people who shuttle on this coal mountain are old and weak women and children.

   There are many children, even older than Zhu Zhanji. They are all blackened by coal, and their yellow teeth can only be seen when they grin. Like monkeys, they are searching in the coal mountains.

   Zhu Zhanji was furious: "I don't want to do this."

  The foreman folded his hands, smiled and said: "The man is here, so you can't do it."

   Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "Do you know who I am?"

The foreman said very calmly: "Master Zhu said, you are indeed the son of a rich family who sent you here, but your parents said, let you work hard here for a few hours, if you don't do well, I can't explain it here. .”

  Zhu Zhanji was so angry that he didn't want to pay attention to the foreman in front of him. He wanted to sit down on the ground, but found that the ground was covered with black mud, and he felt sick immediately.

  The foreman said: "This is already taking extra care of you. The work here is the easiest, and the steelmaking and coal washing over there are the real hard work. Okay, okay, Xiao Liuer, come and take him with you."

   After finishing speaking, a half-old child came out and grinned, "Yes, yes."

   After all, this kid named Xiao Liuer grabbed Zhu Zhanji and walked towards Meishan.

   Zhu Zhanji staggered and almost fell into the black mud.

  He was about to burst into tears, and couldn't help cursing: "Uncle lied to me again..."

  Xiao Liu'er said: "Your uncle is still alive?"

  Zhu Zhanji was attracted: "Where's your uncle?"

  Xiao Liu'er said: "It's too early to die, both of them died, one died of illness, and the other...was hacked to death by rebels during Jing Nan."

  Zhu Zhanji said: "Why is my uncle still alive?"

  Xiao Liu'er squatted down at this time, began to sort coal, and said, "I'll teach you how to pick it..."

  Zhu Zhanji looked at him in surprise and said, "You did this at a young age?"

  Xiao Liu'er said proudly: "Ordinary people can't come to this place. My mother entrusted someone to let me in. The wages here are higher than other places."

   "I don't do this." Zhu Zhanji sneered.

  Xiao Liuer looked at him embarrassingly and said: "If you don't do it, Foreman Liu will punish me later, then I will suffer. If you do something, I will help you."

   Zhu Zhanji's eyes were red.

  To tell the truth, he was usually in the palace, he stretched out his clothes and opened his mouth, and when he called for something, someone would answer.

   Now that I am here alone, I am a little at a loss.

  Xiao Liuer started to pick up coal quickly, saying: "Look, this coal is good...the other one is not good..."

   Three hours later, Zhang Anshi's chariot and horse arrived at the coal yard.

   As soon as he got out of the car, dozens of model battalion guards surrounded him.

  The foreman looked at it from afar and was taken aback. He quickly trotted forward, knelt down respectfully and said, "I have seen... seen... Master Hou."

   As he spoke, the foreman turned his head and shouted angrily: "What are you doing in a daze, come and see Lord Hou."

   All of a sudden, the coal yard was a sensation.

  Many people rushed out.

  The little Liu'er dragged Zhu Zhanji even more, staggered after the crowd, and saluted along with the others: "I've seen Lord Hou."

  Zhang Anshi grinned: "Haha, there is no need to be polite."

  When Zhu Zhanji saw Zhang Anshi, he immediately gritted his teeth.

  At this time, his whole body was already black, and even the palms of his hands were worn out. He was standing at this moment, his legs were still trembling.

  Recalling everything that happened just now, it was like a nightmare.

   But when he turned his head, he saw that Xiao Liu'er's eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his eyes. When the tears from the corners of his eyes ran across his face covered with soot, they suddenly left two gullies.

   Zhu Zhanji asked strangely, "Why are you crying?"

Xiao Liu'er cried and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, this is Marquis Annan... Without Marquis Annan, we would have starved to death. My family has starved for most of my life. If he can really eat rice, he is our reborn parent, do you know that?"

  Zhu Zhanji: "..."

  Zhu Zhanji raised his eyes and saw many dark people with red eyes, he couldn't help being startled.

Zhang Anshi distinguished Zhu Zhanji from the dark crowd, took him by the hand, and said to the crowd: "The emperor said, everyone here is rewarded today, Zhu Jin, Zhu Jin ...Ten taels of silver per person, rewarded by the emperor's grandson."

   Zhu Jin said: "Yes."

   After finishing speaking, Zhang Anshi pulled Zhu Zhanji into the carriage without looking back.

  Zhu Zhanji cried and said: "Uncle, you lied to me again."

   "How can I lie to you?" Zhang Anshi touched his head and said, "Is it hard work?"

   Zhu Zhanji said aggrievedly: "I think I'm going to die, I can't straighten my waist, my arms hurt, and I'm very hungry now."

  Zhang Anshi smiled, and said: "That's right. Let's go, I'll take you to eat a meal from this workshop."

   Immediately, the carriage stopped in front of a small shed. It was not meal time yet, so there were few people there.

  Zhang Anshi pulled Zhu Zhanji in, took a long bench and sat down.

   Soon, someone served the meal.

  A large steamed cake, add two bowls of rice, but the rice seems to be coarse rice, looking yellow.

  Zhu Zhanji frowned: "Eat this?"

  Zhang Anshi said: "Just try it."

  Zhu Zhanji was really hungry, but still took a few mouthfuls cautiously, and then his brows furrowed deeper, with a look of difficulty swallowing.

  Zhang Anshi knew the reason and asked authentically: "How?"

  Zhu Zhanji said with a bitter face: "It's not delicious."

Zhang Anshi said: "If it's delicious, how can those people get their turn? They eat this for three meals a day. Didn't those maids who entered the palace tell you? In fact, they were even more pitiful before they entered the East Palace. Even this I don't even have to eat."

   Zhu Zhanji said with red eyes: "Uncle said to take me out to play."

  Zhang Anshidao: "This is also a game. You find it hard, and others also find it hard. But why can you ignore it if you think it's hard, but these laborers are very satisfied with it?"

   Zhu Zhanji frowned again after hearing this: "Yes, I am also surprised."

Zhang Anshi sighed and said: "This is because... at least they can still sell their labor and fill their stomachs, because there are people who are more miserable than them. You think that studying is boring, and you feel that you can do whatever you want when you succeed in the future. This is because You don't know, everyone in the world has great expectations of you! Look at your grandpa, one of his thoughts can teach these people to die without a place to die!"

   After a pause, Zhang Anshi said again: "Who is the person working with you?"

   "Xiao Liuer..."

Zhang Anshi said: "Little Liu... Just one thought of your grandpa may lose his livelihood, and the whole family will starve to death. But their happiest moment now is just being able to work in the coal yard and eat Eat such a full meal. If you become your grandpa in the future, think about it...do you still dare to be confused?"

  Zhu Zhanji shivered, the face of Xiao Liu'er appeared in his mind, and thinking of Xiao Liu'er's happy look, he felt that all this was illusory, but it seemed very real.

Zhang Anshidao: "What they expect is nothing more than to sell their labor. The world will be more peaceful and the disaster will be less. What they want is nothing more than this. If there is no coal yard, they will only be worse. Then think about it." , why is this happening?"

  Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said: "It may be impossible... Grandpa Huang is a fool..."

Zhang Anshi said: "Stupidity and sageness are actually relative. If you think Grandpa Huang is not doing well, you can do better than him! But before that, you can't always be willful. Think about it." , you don't even want to study the articles well, so you won't even be able to understand the memorials in the future? How would you know, what's wrong with the people below? You are doing nothing all day long, thinking about this is boring, that is boring, all these thousands of people How terrible is it to place expectations on you?"

  Zhu Zhanji bowed his head, sullen.

Zhang Anshi touched his head again and said: "Zhanji is a man of ambition, and he will definitely be much stronger than your father in the future, so it is even more necessary to get rid of distracting thoughts in his mind and think about what to do, so as not to do those angry things Eat quickly, after eating, Uncle will sleep with you, and tomorrow I will show you our workshop."

  Zhu Zhanji nodded. He seemed to be thinking about something at this time. There were some things that he didn't think through enough, but it seemed that something deep in his heart had been hit.

  Especially Xiao Liuer and the others, all of them looked grateful, but it was clear that they were living in such pain...

   These lingering images made him always unconsciously stand still.

   A few days later, a memorial was sent to Zhu Di's imperial case.

  Zhu Di looked at it, and his face was slightly gloomy: "Call the Hanlin attendant to lecture on the scholar Chen Yan, and attend to read Zhou's articles."

  Yi Shiha saw that Zhu Di looked uneasy, so he nodded hurriedly.

   Soon, Chen Yan and Zhou Wenwen met, and they saluted.

  Zhu Di said: "Is what Erqing played true?"

  Chen Yandao: "Your Majesty, the emperor's grandson has no intention of studying these days... Your... Your minister... I didn't dare to say anything about it, it's just... just... this matter concerns the emperor's grandson and the country, so I dare not ignore it."

  Zhu Di frowned: "Is he in poor health?"

  Chen Yan said hesitantly: "Chen..."

  Zhu Di said angrily: "If you have anything to say, it's okay to be blunt, what's wrong with you during this period!"

Chen Yan had no choice but to say: "These days, the emperor's grandson has no intention of going to school. Two days ago, An Nanhou took the emperor's grandson out for a day or two to play, and the emperor's grandson didn't even go to the school... Sheji hopes that if things go on like this for a long time, the minister is worried... Besides... the emperor's grandson Jingui, who left the East Palace without authorization, at such a young age..."

  Zhu Di lost sight of it even after a glance.

  Yi Shiha said: "There is such a thing, but it is the empress's permission."

  Zhu Di yelled at Chen Yan: "You can't teach the emperor and grandson yourself, but you blame others? Your mother, don't you talk about how you have learned to be rich and full of peaches and plums?"

  Chen Yan: "..."

  He had no choice but to keep kowtowing: "The crime of ten thousand deaths."

  Zhu Di said: "Go and call the emperor's grandson into the palace, I will teach him well."

  Yi Shiha didn't dare to neglect, and went quickly.

  Zhu Di immediately began to yell at Chen Yan again: "A bunch of wine bags and rice bags, what use do I need you? You bastards... Fortunately, you are still a bachelor's servant."

The Bachelor of Attendance in the Hanlin has a high status. The chief official of the Hanlin is the Bachelor of the Hanlin University. After that, there are two Bachelor of Attendance, and the following are the Bachelor of Attendance and the lectures, lectures, editors, and editors. and many more.

   It can be said that the rank of the Bachelor of Attendance does not seem to be high, but the status in Qingliu is not low. It is unspeakably noble. Even if one foot enters Wenyuan Pavilion in the future, it will not be surprising.

  Chen Yan was scolded bloody, and tremblingly did not dare to reply, for fear of replying, Zhu Di would hit someone directly. Zhu Di has a criminal record, and he also has the inheritance of Emperor Gao.

  After two sticks of incense, Yi Shiha came in out of breath: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... the emperor's grandson is not in the East Palace today..."

  Zhu Di: "..."

  Yi Shiha said: "It is said that today, I went to Qixia to look for his uncle again, and His Royal Highness said... If you don't follow him... He is crying..."

  Zhu Di: "..."

At this moment, Chen Yan seemed to grasp at straws: "Your Majesty, look, this is really not the fault of the minister. I dare not say that the emperor and grandson are stubborn, but...he hangs out with Marquis Annan all day long and has no intention of studying. How can I blame the minister?"

  Zhu Di was at a loss for words at this time, so he could only curse: "That stinky boy is promising, he doesn't teach his father and son, I don't think his father is a good guy, he is his mother's prince, and his own son is also neglected."

  Yi Shiha lowered his head, not daring to vent his breath.

  Zhu Di said: "His father doesn't care, so I have to take care of my grandfather, take my whip, go to scare him, and show him some color."

   There is one more day, and this month is over. Those who still have tickets, hope to support Tiger, thank you!
