The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 51 Doubt
Empress Chen helped Empress Dowager Sun to the couch in the hall, and when she sat down, she turned her head to look at the people standing down, and they quickly saluted and greeted them. "All of you are very capable. You have caused such a big trouble in just a short while. If I didn't get the news this time, please ask the Queen Mother to save you. Do you think this matter can be settled so easily?"

Mu Xu and Tu Rui could only bow their heads and listen to the training, but the more Tu Zhen thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved. He was announced to the Dragon Head Palace early this morning. I couldn't bear it for a while, and forced myself to argue a few words, and was ordered by the Supreme Emperor to apologize. If it was only Concubine Zhen, it would be fine. Why did the boy of the Zhen family ask the prince to apologize to him? What is he?
Now that his mother is teaching him a lesson, Tu Zhen was stubborn for a moment, red-eyed, "What's wrong with me, that Zhen Shihong robbed the girl from the people, could it be my fault? Why did the imperial grandfather ask me to make an apology for him? I don't agree."

"You..." Seeing that her son dared to contradict her, Empress Chen gasped for breath, pointing at Tu Zhen, speechless for a moment.

Empress Dowager Sun stood up, pulled her to the side couch and sat down, "You, you are fair and dignified, how could you get angry when it comes to Zhen'er? What's the use of being angry, teach me in private That's it." After speaking, she signaled Gong'e to serve tea to the queen, then looked at the people standing under the steps, "Okay, you guys should sit down too."

Mu Xu and Tu Rui thanked the queen mother and were about to sit down when they found that Tu Zhen was still stubborn, so they hurriedly dragged him back. Tu Zhen couldn't resist Mu Xu's strength, so he forced him to sit on a chair.

Empress Chen took a sip of tea, seeing that her son was still arguing with her, the anger that had been subdued suddenly came up again, and she was about to yell at her, but Empress Dowager Sun took her hand, shook her head slightly, and then turned to the disciple Zhen waved, and Tu Zhen reluctantly stood up and came to the Empress Dowager Sun.

Empress Dowager Sun took Tu Zhen's hand and said earnestly, "You child, why can't you understand your mother's good intentions?" Seeing Tu Zhen's expression that she was right, she shook her head and explained, " Your mother doesn't blame you for fighting against injustice, she blames you for risking yourself, what is your identity, and what is the identity of the Zhen family boy, do you need to do this matter yourself?"

Seeing the thoughtful expression on Tu Zhen's face, she told Mu Xu and Tu Rui who were sitting below, "It's the same with you, especially you Rui'er. I have heard your mother and concubine say it a few times. You are reckless and impulsive. Even the common people know the reason why porcelain should not touch tiles, don’t you guys understand?”

Mu Xu and Tu Rui nodded quickly to be taught, making a look of looking at their noses and their hearts.Empress Dowager Sun is an old man, so how can she not see that they only agreed on the surface and perfunctory in their hearts.But now it's not about these times, she turned her head to teach Tu Zhen, "What mistakes did you make today, do you understand?" Before Tu Zhen could reply, she explained to him, "You still made mistakes today that you can't judge the situation. I don’t know what’s wrong. You’ve read so many books on weekdays. Gou Jian suffered a lot, and Han Xin was humiliated even more. If they are like you today, they will rush forward when they are wronged. You said Will they end well?"

Tu Zhen shook his head, and Empress Dowager Sun sighed again, "Besides, Mrs. Zhen obviously deliberately provoked you today, and you just fell for her tricks."

Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Empress Chen looked puzzled, "Empress Mother, what is the plan of Mrs. Zhen? For such a trivial matter, she deliberately sowed right and wrong. After all, the emperor has been on the throne for several years, isn't she afraid..."

Empress Dowager Sun waved her hand to signal her not to speak, and gave the mother next to her a wink. The mother understood, sent out all the maids in the palace, ordered people to guard the palace gate, and nodded in front of Empress Dowager Sun. stand behind it.

Empress Dowager Sun then said, "I understand what you mean. It is said that the emperor has been on the throne for several years and has a solid foundation. It is really not wise for her to offend the emperor at this time, and it is not good for their Zhen family, but she just did it like this." Don't say you don't understand, I'm a little confused too, this Zhen family has the true biography of their family's Fengsheng lady, so it shouldn't be so unwise."

After hearing what they said, Mu Xu also felt something was wrong. Thinking about the Zhen family in the original book, it was true that the house was ransacked after the death of Mrs. Feng Sheng.I also thought that in the original book, the Jia family and the Zhen family should have fallen one after the other, because there is a passage in the original text that the Zhen family knew that something was wrong, and wanted to entrust the family wealth to the old man, and gave it to the Rongguo Mansion, but Jia Mu did not accept it. In the end, Mrs. Wang accepted it privately. Mother Jia always scolded her for having shallow eyelids, but she was right.

However, in the end, it is estimated that Jia She was unlucky in this matter. Who made him the head of the family? One of the crimes of family raids in Jia's mansion included traffic officials who secretly hid official wealth. Jia She, a traffic official, was indeed not wronged. But he took the blame for Mrs. Wang for committing crimes against officials.

Of course, what made Mu Xu feel wrong was that he always felt that he had overlooked something. Jia Yuanchun died, and then the Zhen family and Jia Wang's family were confiscated next to each other. There seemed to be an invisible thread connecting these things. The Zhen family's raid should not be as simple as being corrupt and perverting the law on the surface.If you can figure out these things, you should be able to understand Dowager Zhen's abnormal behavior.

Mu Xu was trying his best to recall the details that he had neglected in the original book, but he found that someone pulled his sleeve, turned his head and saw that it was Tu Rui, and saw him pouting upwards.Only then did Mu Xu realize that it turned out that he was thinking about it, and Empress Dowager Sun asked him if he had any thoughts.

Mu Xu came back to his senses and shook his head, "I also listened to what my grandmother said, and felt that there was something wrong with it, but I couldn't figure it out for a moment."

Empress Dowager Sun nodded slightly, and then told Empress Chen, "You also know your father's attitude towards the Zhen family. You go back and tell the emperor that as long as the lady Feng Sheng in Jinling is still there, let him still win over the Zhen family. Lord, don't act rashly, so as not to anger the Supreme Emperor." Empress Chen took these words seriously.

Nodding in satisfaction, Empress Dowager Sun asked Mu Xu, "Has that girl Shuang'er ever sent a letter?"

Seeing Mu Xu shaking her head, Empress Dowager Sun complained with a smile, "I really love this girl for nothing, and she left again only two months after returning to Beijing. The water that went out is really good."

Hearing this, Mu Xu also felt embarrassed, and quickly explained, "Grandmother misunderstood, how could mother not have you in her heart, when she was in Liaodong, she often missed grandma, and every time it was your birthday, she would go to the temple to pray for you." Mu Xu's words are not false, because Princess Changning's biological mother died of illness when she was young, and she has been raised by the Empress Dowager Sun, and the relationship between the two is unusual.Empress Dowager Sun originally had a son, but later died for unknown reasons. Mu Xu also asked his mother about it, but her mother kept it secret and refused to say more about it.However, judging from the attitude of the Supreme Emperor towards the Empress Dowager today, it is estimated that this matter probably has something to do with the Supreme Emperor.

He only knew that after the loss of her beloved son, the Empress Dowager Sun lived in seclusion every day, but she treated all other princes and princesses equally and cared for her. As the empress dowager, she treats her like a real mother, and other princes and princesses also respect and love her very much, and come to greet her from time to time.

Hearing Mu Xu's defense for her mother, Empress Dowager Sun smiled and said to Empress Chen next to her, "It can be seen that mother and child are connected, but it's my fault."

Mu Xu hurriedly got up and made a bow, expressing that he had said something wrong, and told the queen mother not to take offense at Yun Yun, and stretched her head forward, saying that the queen mother should hit him a few times to vent her anger.

His actions naturally provoked the Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Chen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to laugh out loud.

　Let me go, I have been reading the original works of Red Mansions and TV dramas a bit too much recently. I have been sleeping for the past two days and I can feel the songs coming from my ears, "One is Langyuan Xianba, and the other is Meiyu Wuxia..." Especially the part "Ah~ Ah~ah"
