Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 368

Zhongshun Wangfu.

The old man listened to Duan Yu and Zhou Changshi's words, his expression changed drastically, and he finally thought of something more terrifying than the pox epidemic.Lifting the robe, he rushed back to the room and ran to King Zhongshun who was on the sick bed, slightly avoiding Princess Zhongshun and whispering to King Zhongshun.

The concubine frowned in confusion, what was going on that she couldn't even let her know.

However, the old eunuch's voice was extremely low, and she could only hear a few intermittent words.

"...Raising a tiger...a person with a jade title...true or fake...should be punished..."

After hearing these few words, the concubine said it was a confidential matter.Seeing that the Thirteenth Master's face was cloudy and uncertain, the empress got up gracefully and said goodbye to the Thirteenth Master, and left the room with the maidservants beside her.

When we got to the door, we could only see two people kneeling in the front yard in the cold night wind.

Duan Yu, the second-class bodyguard of the palace, and Shi Zhouquan, the chief of the palace.

After looking up and down, he led the people behind him back to the inner courtyard of the palace.On the way, the empress inadvertently mentioned it. "Recently, what are the bodyguards Yu and Zhou Changshi busy with? It's getting dark and it's going to spoil my mood."

The female officer Jiayi replied: "I don't know what I'm busy with. I just know that after Lord Rong came that day, the Thirteenth Master summoned the two of them. The jade guards took the troops out overnight, and Master Chang Shi also summoned many palaces the next morning. The officials have left. I haven’t heard of them coming back for several days.”

The concubine concubine looked down, and she said dissatisfiedly: "How important is it that the thirteenth master must come to be the prime minister? The imperial doctors said that the thirteenth master would not be able to stand the trouble, but they still bother him with these things .”

The female officer Jiayi didn't dare to speak, she silently helped her into the bedroom.

Not long after the empress sat down, she sighed quietly: "Suddenly I miss my goddaughter. A few days ago, there were many things in the palace, but I forgot that her eldest brother is one year old. Do you know what the child caught?"

The female officer Jiayi laughed and said: "Speaking of this matter, Lord Rong even made a joke, which was scolded by his wives and wives."

"Oh?"

"The servant girl also listened to the rumors from outsiders. It said that the Ningguo Mansion picked up a lot of things on the day of Catch Zhou, not only the three classics of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, but also brushes, ink, paper, inkstone, abacus, coins, account books, seals, Jewelry, flowers, rouge, food, toys, etc. Lord Pianrong felt that something was missing, so he picked up a sword and made a wooden musket toy to put on it."

"Swords, muskets?" The concubine concubine gave a slight snort.

"That's not right. The family also persuaded the Sir, but he said that the rest are things that can't be put on the stage, and real men should play with guns."

"What good is a gun?"

"Master Rong really wants my elder brother to play with guns. I was supposed to sit and let my elder brother crawl by himself, but he was making trouble and leading my son to go to the guns and swords."

"This bastard, doesn't he break the rules."

"Don't you know that my lord has always been unruly? The grandmothers of Ningguo Mansion couldn't do anything about it, and finally I heard that it was the Second Mistress Lian of Xi Mansion who kicked him out of the room."

"What was caught later?" Princess Zhongshun asked curiously.

"There was no disturbance from Lord Rong during the catching week. My brother grabbed two things at once. A scripture and a seal. Lord Pianrong went in and saw it, his teeth were itchy, and he said something, 'It's over, it's over, we want Be a nerdy official fan.' and other words. He also teased the current chief Sima, Mr. Jia, saying, 'this little guy is going to become the second Jia Sima, I should have known it earlier'..."

"What?"

"What you say later is indecent, I'm afraid it will pollute your mother's ears."

"If there's anything indecent, just say it."

After hesitating for a moment, Jiayi said in a low voice: "My lord said that I should have shot the wall if I knew it earlier."

"..." The concubine was taken aback for a moment, and then her face turned red.Cursed: "This bastard, he should have grabbed and beat him last time when he came here."

Jiayi hurriedly said: "I don't know if it's true or not, it's just that it's spread like this in Beijing."

Princess Zhongshun thought for a moment after hearing this.Qian Qian said: "It's good to be a scholar. Pick some books from the palace collection and send them to the elder brother of Ningguo Mansion. Let him study hard in the future and be a scholar for life."

The voice just fell, and the surroundings were completely silent.

The female officer Jiayi looked at the empress suspiciously, waiting for the next oral order, but she didn't wait.

Just in time.A small eunuch hurried over from outside and said, "The prince was furious in the palace and ordered Eunuch Dong to return to the manor to retire."

After hearing this, Princess Zhongshun breathed a sigh of relief.He ordered: "The collection of books will be sent to Ningguo Mansion tomorrow, and I will return to the palace with me."

Today's Zhongshun Palace is destined to not be too peaceful.

But at this time, Conglvtang in Ningguo Mansion was also not peaceful.

Uncle Rong knew nothing about what happened in Zhongshun Palace tonight. Facing the question from the Princess of Beijing County, he replied embarrassingly: "A society must have rules. However, rules can never be truly fair, and they will always hurt some people. Auntie can still come to Jia's house from the palace to stay for a while, but the women outside don't even leave their own house."

"What is the purpose of this kind of rule?" The princess asked back: "Just like this precious tea, you can only taste its true deliciousness if you use specific water, special water temperature, and specific brewing method. If there is no specific Is there any water? Just like Brother Rong, with fresh milk and sugar added, the taste is also very good."

"Do women have to stay in the boudoir to care for their husbands and children, and do needlework and embroidery?" The princess of the county looked at Brother Rong quietly, as if waiting for an answer.

Brother Rong was a little terrified by her stare.He replied in a low voice: "It's always been that the male is the outsider and the female is the inside. When a woman is at home, she doesn't just care about her husband, teach her children, and do needlework and embroidery."

"Why can't women just swagger on the streets, why can't they go wherever they want? Do whatever they want?"

This is an extremely huge proposition, and Brother Rong consciously can't answer it.Sam said: "Maybe 200 years later, women will be as free as men. Even after 200 years, men will still have to please women a lot of the time."

"200 years... I don't care about it." The princess paused and asked, "How can you be sure that things that have remained unchanged for thousands of years will change after 200 years?"

Because 200 years later, the whole world will usher in earth-shaking changes, and this change will affect all major countries.

"Didn't Auntie hear that I once stayed in the sky?"

"Heaven?"

"In heaven, everyone is equal. There are no slaves or maidservants, and personal rights are supreme."

"Bewitching words to confuse the crowd." Seeing the maid next to her, her eyes lit up after listening to Brother Rong's words, the princess couldn't help scolding softly.

"..."

Brother Rong thought that the princess of the county was not the same. He wanted to have the rights and privileges of the upper class of the feudal society, but he didn't want to be kept in the boudoir by the feudal system.I couldn't help laughing at myself, and I was also very reluctant to part with the privilege in my hand.

The princess of the county sighed faintly. "If that's the case, it's not bad."

It took him by surprise.

Then I heard the princess of the county say: "I remember that there is a lot of good wine in Cong Lv Tang, warm the wine for Brother Rong. Let me tell you about what I have seen in the sky tonight."
