Chapter 156: Meeting a noble person in Lingji Palace (Part 2)

"Yes, my uncle has suffered from *** again these days. I'm sorry, Zhenren Ye."

Mrs. Zhu nodded gently, then smiled and said, "In addition to the lamp, I also want to use the auspicious treasure land of Lingji Palace to hide in purity. The alley in my house called Ligelao Hutong is full of cars and horses all day long, so I am really annoyed to watch it."

Ye Zhenren and Mrs. Zhu are very familiar with each other. When they heard this joke, they burst into laughter. They immediately led Mrs. Zhu to an extremely quiet guesthouse behind them. They stood and said a few words and then immediately took the opportunity to leave. At this time, Mrs. Zhu nodded to Chen Yue, who had been silent behind her. When she entered the guesthouse, she looked around and a mother next to her smiled and spoke.

"Madam, this Zhenren Ye is really interested. This guest house seems to have been reserved for you all the time."

"Don't think I don't have much money to give him incense, I often go here to ask for a lamp. When the old bull's nose talks out, I don't know how many believers can attract. In the officialdom, women can't help much, just ask for good health."

Chen Yue was quietly observing Mrs. Zhu all the way, but when she heard this joke with her mother, she couldn't help but feel that the other party was more intimate, and she was relieved a little bit. After Mrs. Zhu talked and joked with her mother, she saw Li Qingniang coming up to help Chen Yue remove the outer veil, and she had to look at it carefully. Seeing that the girl was about the 14th and 5th, she didn't wear any makeup on her face. Although she only wore a pair of jade plugs on her ears and eyes, she didn't look like she was from a small family, and she had a unique and generous attitude, she became more and more curious.

"The young woman Fang Yue didn't know that her wife was Mrs. Li Ge, so I would like to forgive her for her crime."

Seeing Chen Yueying bow down, Mrs. Zhu immediately reached out to help the person up in person. When Chen Yue sat down as she said, she smiled and said, "What's the crime? I just saw that Miss Fang was just now. I was happy for a moment and asked someone to ask you to come over and talk. It turned out that I was abrupt. By the way, I heard your accent, it seemed that I was not a native of the capital?"

"Yes, the people are from Jinling."

Mrs. Zhu was just suspicious, but when she heard this, she was surprised and happy, and said with a smile: "It's such a coincidence? I thought I had grown up in Nanjing back then, and now I still have my younger brother and a few nieces in Nanjing. I haven't heard the local accent for decades, no wonder I feel kind to you as soon as I see you."

Since Chen Yue heard someone mention that Mrs. Li Ge often went to Lingji Palace to burn incense, she asked Li Qingniang to take great effort to inquire. Naturally, she knew that Mrs. Zhu was from Nanjing like herself, and she deliberately brought some local accent as soon as she spoke. Seeing Mrs. Zhu's happy situation, she smiled and said, "Is the lady actually a native of Nanjing? In recent years, the area around Sanshan Street has become more prosperous than before. Department stores are gathered and there are many new buildings on the Qinhuai River! The Qushui area has also been passed, and there are more literati and scholars now... Ah, the gatehouse of Duke Cheng's Mansion has been renovated two years ago, which is much more grand than before!"

Mrs. Zhu, who hadn't returned to Nanjing for many years, heard Chen Yue talk about these changes, and her eyes flashed for a moment, but she remembered the past.

Mrs. Zhu was born into a Duke and her father was Zhu Yi, the Duke of Chengguo who was guarding Nanjing for the seventh year of Tianshun. Now others say that Li Dongyang and her husband were a match made by heaven. It is a perfect match for Li Dongyang, but even though Li Dongyang had a reputation as a child prodigy and was a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, he was still a widower and became a widower twice in a row. It can be said that this marriage was a high-ranking marriage. According to the rules of imperial edicts, this wife was only one legitimate and one successor. She was very disadvantaged after marrying her. If her father had not been optimistic about Li Dongyang, she had seen this man who was sixteen years older than her, so she agreed without saying a word and married far away in the capital, perhaps missing the best marriage. Now that her husband has been in the palace for many years, she has successfully hired her for imperial edicts.

Her two daughters have been married, the eldest daughter married the current Yansheng Gong Kong Wenshao, and the second daughter married Shaoqing Cui Jiechu. The only regret is that her son Li Zhaotong died young, and the son of Mrs. Yue, the second son of her successor, Li Zhaoxian, also died two years ago. Now she has to inherit Li Zhaofan, the son of Li Dongming, the eldest brother of Li Dongyang, as her successor. Therefore, as she thought about the whole family of younger brother Zhu Fu, she felt quite envious.

A mother next to her looked at her wife and was distracted, and interrupted Shen Yue with a smile and said, "Miss Fang, this Duke Cheng is my wife's younger brother."

"Ah... the young lady doesn't know, my wife forgives her guilt."

Seeing that Shen Yue was a little frightened, Mrs. Zhu, who came to her senses, shook her hand and looked at the two mothers with a angrily look. Although she had sent someone to Nanjing, what she said was always superficial. So after thinking about it, she simply put a few mothers away, leaving Shen Yue to chat about family matters. Li Qingniang was a little worried at first, but seeing that Mrs. Zhu was indeed friendly, she thought about it and quietly left the house.

Mrs. Zhu married Li Dongyang for many years. Although she was abiding by her duties and did not ask about government affairs, she was born into a marquis and her husband was of high power. Naturally, she was not all about the family matters, but involved very mixed questions. Sometimes she was just asking about the peach blossoms behind Sanshan Temple, but in an instant she turned to the bells and drums of Jiming Temple, and then to the officialdom that some people in the market rarely contacted. Shen Yue folded her mental response, and although some of them could only shake her head, most of them could answer. After a while, Mrs. Zhu was only intimately intimate with the local accent in a foreign country, and then she really felt a little surprised.

Even the ladies in the capital are mostly just chanting poems and essays and essays and are rarely so honest and generous who knows the worldly feelings!

Mrs. Zhu was competing with Shen Yue in the exam. Isn’t it that Shen Yue was also trying to turn the conversation around the direction she hoped for even the most difficult thing. Finally, when Mrs. Zhu talked about the Wende Bridge on the Qinhuai River, she took a deep breath and suddenly said with a sigh: “When Madam talked about Wende Bridge, I remembered something. Just a few months ago, a big case that caused a sensation in the entire Nanjing city happened on the Wende Bridge."

"oh?"

Seeing Mrs. Zhu showing a surprised expression, Shen Yue tried her best to talk about the incident that turned from a happy event to a tragedy in the calmest tone. When she talked about the moment she threw herself into the water, she originally thought she could control it, but her body couldn't help but tremble, and even her voice changed a little. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhu only thought she was emotionally excited and didn't care, but just sighed with a sad expression: "It's a pity for such a strange woman. I heard from my uncle about the follow-up of this matter, but I didn't expect that it would be so tragic at that time. Then Zhao Qin was really worthy of death."

"I'm sorry that the Shen family lost their daughter all of a sudden, and that Mr. Xu suddenly lost his fiancée. But after all, Shen was wrong first. It was rare that Mr. Xu went to the Shen family to admit the marriage, and then went to Yingtian Prefecture to beat the drum to complain. It is said that when the Yingtian Prefecture Office tried the case, his questioning made Zhao Qin so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, which caused a sensation in the whole city. Later, he blocked the bandit's arrow for his biological father, and the city was full of storms. In addition, he donated all the fields left by his adoptive father, and calculated that he had already been shocking. Others envied him for being praised by the court and granted the honor guards. He asked me to say that he would rather live a peaceful life like this than such many changes."

"You said it right, peace is a blessing!"

Mrs. Zhu also heard Li Dongyang say something, but after all, it was something that happened in the distant Nanjing. Li Dongyang was busy with everything every day, so he would not be so careful. As for the people in the capital, it would be even more impossible for people in the capital to discuss such a major case that occurred in Nanjing. Therefore, after nodding in agreement, she first asked Yingtian Prefecture's entire process of the case trial with interest. Suddenly, she remembered Chen Yue's mention of the word Xunwei, and raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Wait, you said he had sealed the Xunwei? How is this possible?"

"It's really a ban." Chen Yue was already pointing out that Xu Xun was one of the protagonists of the current storm of the Ministry of Personnel. When he said that, he was afraid of adding extra money, so he swallowed it back immediately, but he asked curiously, "Why do you say this is impossible?"

Mrs. Zhu thought about it carefully and finally remembered the recent lawsuit against Xing'an Bo Mansion. After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just surprised by the emperor's praise of Zhilong... By the way, why did you, a girl's house, come to Lingji Palace alone today? I looked at you and scolded the foolish man and wife, retreated to the incense burner and felt a little sad, but what's the difficulty?"

Although she had some scheming to see Mrs. Zhu, the kindness and lack of airs also touched Chen Yue. She almost wanted to tell her things, but after opening her mouth, she didn't dare to say it out. After a long time, she lowered her head and held back the tears that were rolling in her eyes.

"Thank you for your inquiry, and it's not difficult. But... I just had some changes in my family. This time, several families escorted me to the capital to visit my relatives. Unfortunately, the relative died of illness two years ago, so I went to Lingji Palace to pray for her today. I felt a little sad because of my feelings."

"This is hard enough, and there is no difficulty?" Mrs. Zhu shook her head angrily, looked at the pretty cute girl in front of her. Thinking about Li Dongyang spends almost every month in the palace cabinet room, and when Li Zhaofan is only more etiquette than close to her, there is not even a person to talk around her. She felt compassion for a moment, "If Miss Fang still wants to stay in the capital, there are still a few empty rooms in my house..."

"Although relatives passed away, there are other relatives and friends in the capital, so I must not bother my wife anymore!" Chen Yue didn't expect that Mrs. Zhu was so kind-hearted. She couldn't help but feel guilty. She hurriedly stood up and thanked her deeply. Finally, she said sincerely, "Ge Lao Li is an important official in the dynasty. I don't know how many people are staring at her. If I let any censor misunderstand, the little girl will die and not be redeemed. Today I will see the wife, and the little girl will be lucky in her three lives!"
