The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 581 Fate is destined [4000 words two in one chapter]

Fate is really destined.

Zhu Houzhao has been fascinated since he saw Du Yun at first sight.

"Ahem, Miss Du lives in the mountains and doesn't know what to do for a living?"

Zhu Houzhao was very eager to strike up a conversation, and immediately started chatting about any topic he thought of.

"The little girl planted some herbs with her grandfather, and just ate them for a living."

Tsk tsk, it turned out to be a drug farmer.

Although Ms. Du's status is very humble, Zhu Houzhao just likes it.

He was used to seeing rich and luxurious ladies with heavy make-up, but he just felt that this kind of fresh and refined woman was lovable.

Besides, Ms. Du is really kind-hearted, and she welcomed them in to shelter from the rain when it was pouring heavily. She was also greeted with concern and served with ginger tea, which was really heart-warming.

Zhu Houzhao is the emperor, most of the women who approach him are because of his status, and want to grab wealth by flattering him.

But Miss Du is different.

Although Zhu Houzhao climbed Mount Tai, he was dressed in casual clothes.Although following a large group of followers does not mean anything.After all, there are too many wealthy people visiting Mount Tai.

Du Yun definitely didn't know that Zhu Houzhao was the Son of Heaven.

This kind of innocence moved Zhu Houzhao very much, and his somewhat dormant heart was rekindled.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Xie Shen quickly reminded: "Brother Zhu, drink ginger tea first."

Zhu Houzhao shrugged helplessly, and said with an embarrassed smile, "Siming said so."

Du Yun saw that the pair of friends were very weird, but he couldn't tell where the weirdness was, so he had to turn around and walk to the window to look out.

Seeing the beautiful woman frowning, Zhu Houzhao felt like being scratched by insects in his heart. It is true that beauty is in the eyes of lovers, and every frown and smile is scenery.

"Hey, the rain today is surprisingly heavy. I'm afraid it won't stop for a while. Why don't you stay here for a while and leave early tomorrow morning?"

Du Yun's words reached Zhu Houzhao's heart.

His Majesty the Emperor simply didn't want to take a step away from Miss Du.Being able to stay overnight is definitely the best result.

"Thank you, Ms. Du, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

Xie Shen: "."

It can't be seen that His Majesty's face is really thick. As soon as Ms. Du said that, he went down the slope and agreed.

Alas, people's hearts.

That's all, anyway, it's raining outside, so stay here as long as you want.

but
What about the guards outside?You can let them get drenched in the rain for a while, but you can't let them get drenched in the rain all night, right?Doesn't it cause trouble?

Zhu Houzhao was obviously aware of this problem, and he asked hesitantly, "My followers."

"Don't worry, my lord. Although there are not many houses here, my little girl, there are still two firewood houses. They store some medicinal materials picked on weekdays, and they can accommodate some people in emergencies."

Du Yun said very caringly.

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed when he heard the words.

Why is this girl so attractive, she thinks about everything so thoughtfully.

"So good."

"Let's drink tea first, the little girl still has medicinal materials to grind, so excuse me."

Du Yun smiled, turned around and left.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao was so fascinated that he almost announced that he would accept Du Yun as his concubine.

Zhang Yong saw it in his heart, but he was anxious.

Zhu Houzhao is the emperor, so he can play with any woman he wants.But it would be a big problem if Miss Du was really brought back to the capital to be registered as a concubine.

Today's Empress Dowager Zhang is very strict about this.It doesn't matter how much Zhu Houzhao plays with women on weekdays, but when it comes to the step of canonization, it's a little difficult.

An ordinary official's daughter is fine, a country girl with unknown background like Du Yun will definitely be rejected.

The queen mother disagreed, and Zhu Houzhao naturally couldn't force Du Yun to be named.Otherwise, it is disobedience and is not in line with filial piety.

Zhu Houzhao is the son of Empress Dowager Zhang, and his mother would naturally not do anything to her son, but Zhang Yong's follower is miserable.

Empress Dowager Zhang will definitely reprimand Zhang Yong severely, thinking that he did not persuade the emperor well and let the emperor make trouble outside and bring him back to the capital.

Maybe the queen mother will ask someone to beat Zhang Yong when she is furious.

Zhang Yong is really more wronged than Dou E.

Therefore, Zhang Yong did not want His Majesty the Emperor to bring Miss Du back to the capital.

But I can't hold back this firewood.
This is really in line with the old saying - the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry!
Time passed quickly, and it was dark in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that Miss Du Yun's grandfather hadn't come back yet, Zhu Houzhao said, "Miss Du, your elder father hasn't come back so late, so there must be something wrong?"

Du Yun put down the work in his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for your concern. Eldest father went to Zhoucheng to sell medicine yesterday, and he probably won't be back in a few days."

Ah!
Zhu Houzhao's heart skipped a beat, and his mind began to fluctuate.

What a godsend.

"I see. So it seems that Miss Du spends a lot of time alone on weekdays?"

Du Yun nodded and said: "Father often sells medicine, I spend a lot of time in the mountains looking after the house."

"This remote mountain is lonely, isn't it lonely?"

"Fortunately, it's not lonely to take care of some flowers and plants."

Uh, Zhu Houzhao found that he had nothing to say!
This is extremely rare.

Zhu Houzhao is very good at talking, even if he can't be called a debater, he is at least one of the eloquent speakers. Why is he stuck?
"Why don't we play chess?"

"Play chess?"

Du Yun was taken aback for a moment, apparently not understanding what Zhu Houzhao meant.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

He is really stupid. Miss Du has lived in the mountains for a long time and doesn't deal with people very much, so how can she know how to play chess?Unless her grandpa loved playing chess very much, which is extremely unlikely.

But the words have already been spoken, so it is natural to find a way to round them up.

Zhu Houzhao cleared his throat and said, "It's Go. Ms. Du will not let it go, Zhu can come and teach you."

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he winked at Zhang Yong, and eunuch Zhang immediately took out a chess box from his bag.

His Majesty the Emperor likes to play chess, so the chess box must be carried with him.

Climbing Mount Tai is an elegant move, and it would be embarrassing if he and Xiaoge were playing chess halfway up the mountain and found that they didn't bring chess equipment.

This chessboard is made of ivory.Matched with two black bowls, there are two bowls full of chess pieces.

Different from ordinary black and white chess pieces, the ones in this bowl are sapphire and white jade chess pieces.

It looks icy and clear, very beautiful.

Xie Shen often played chess with Zhu Houzhao, and he was no stranger to this set of chess sets.But it was the first time for the little girl to see her, and she was dumbfounded.

"Is this the game of Go that Mr. Zhu is talking about?"

Zhu Houzhao said proudly: "You can't say that. My set of chess sets is unique, and Ms. Du will never find another one. But if Ms. Du likes it, Zhu can give it to Ms. Du."

Xie Shen felt that the atmosphere at this moment was really too ambiguous.

He should really hide aside, is it really okay to stand here and be a light bulb?
Ok?
It's a pity that it was raining heavily outside, and there was lightning and thunder.Xie Shen neither wanted to be drowned, nor to be turned into a chicken by lightning, so he could only reluctantly stay here.

Anyway, there is a dead eunuch beside him as a light bulb, and there is not one more of him.

Xie Shen only hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would not go too far and make too much noise at night.

Well, it's not good to affect other people's rest.

I have to say that His Majesty's level of teasing girls is indeed very strong, at least better than Xie Shen.

In just a few hours, two complete strangers became close like brothers. They were absolutely crazy girls.

Coupled with the life experience made up by His Majesty the Emperor, it seems that he is Mr. Zhu Shouzhu, and Mr. Zhu Shouzhu is him.

Believe it or not, Xie Shen almost believed it.
This really deserves an Oscar for Lifetime Achievement to His Majesty the Emperor.In terms of acting skills alone, His Majesty the Emperor has reached the pinnacle.

However, Zhu Houzhao was obviously not enlightened.Perhaps in his view, Xie Shen and Zhang Yong are air.

The two chatted and played chess and wine without noticing the embarrassment of Xie Shen and Zhang Yong.

Well, after a long while, when the lights were turned off for a rest, I could finally stop stretching the string.

Of course, Du Yun slept in the room, and the two and a half men Zhu Houzhao, Xie Shen, and Zhang Yong slept outside.

Although Xie Shen was very sure that the act of teasing a girl was done with the emperor's temperament, but it was definitely not now.

It's too exaggerated to have sex and have sex when you first meet.

The ancients were conservative in thinking, even Zhu Houzhao, a sex addict, could not accept frivolous behavior.

The night was very long, hearing the rain dripping on the bluestone slab, Xie Shen felt a strange feeling in his heart.

This feeling is very familiar, just like when he was young in Yuyao, Shaoxing.

The rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River lasts for a month at a time, procrastinating and hazy.

The rainwater hit the bluestone slabs, the archways, and the window lattices.

That unique sound is refreshing.

"Thank you, Mr. Ge."

Ah!
Zhang Yong's ghostly voice sounded beside Xie Shen, and Xie Shen was startled.

Xie Shen rubbed his chest to calm down and thought about whether he should ask eunuch Zhang for mental damages.

Damn, I was reminiscing about the past in the middle of the night, and suddenly a male and female voice sounded, which would leave a shadow.

Fortunately, Xie Shen's adjustment ability is strong enough, after a short adjustment, he finally calmed down.

"Eunuch Zhang, what are you crying out for if you don't sleep in the middle of the night. Xie's eyelids are fighting, and he's about to hand over to Duke Zhou in a dream."

Zhang Yong said with a mournful face: "If it weren't for the burning of the eyebrows, our family would not dare to disturb Mr. Xie Ge. It is really desperate."

Xie Shenqi said: "What makes Eunuch Zhang so worried?"

Zhang Yong sighed and said: "What else can it be, it is naturally the matter of the emperor."

He lowered his voice and said: "Elder Xie Ge also knows about the emperor's temperament. I'm afraid he intends to accept Miss Du as his concubine. It stands to reason that the emperor's concubine and our family's slaves are not qualified to intervene, but our family has to think for ourselves." If the emperor really takes a village girl back to the palace, the queen mother and her elders will definitely cut our family into pieces."

Well, this worry is not unreasonable.

Xie Shen felt a little sympathetic to Eunuch Zhang.

The ancients were used to blaming eunuchs and women for their mistakes.

In fact, there is no difference in essence. Both of them are weak, and they can hardly lift their waists in an era where men are respected.

The former lacks something acquired, while the latter does not have it in the first place.

The so-called confidante and eunuchs harming the country are just excuses for the rulers.

If there is no problem in itself, how can the country be subjugated?Whether it is a woman or a eunuch, they are at most just fueling the flames.

Alas, creatures like eunuchs were originally a deformed product of the imperial power system, and now they want to be a villain, and they are really guilty of breathing.

Xie Shen felt that it was necessary to help Eunuch Zhang, at least he did not make any mistakes in this matter.All possible additional penalties are unreasonable.

"Ahem, Eunuch Zhang might as well change his mind. It may not be realistic to stop His Majesty from accepting a concubine. If you really want to stop this concubine, I'm afraid something will happen."

Zhang Yong was confused now, and quickly said: "Our family is stupid, please tell Mr. Xie Ge clearly."

Xie Shen shrugged his shoulders, and thought of helping people to the end, sending the Buddha to the west.Since I already planned to help Zhang Yong, I simply made it clear to him.

"It's actually very simple. Eunuch Zhang might as well ask the Queen Mother to accept Miss Du."

When Zhang Yong heard the words, he immediately blew up Mao.

He originally thought that Mr. Xie Ge's quick thinking could come up with a perfect plan, who would have thought that he would only come up with such a bad idea for a long time.

He is really disappointed!

"Xie Ge was just joking. Miss Du is just a country girl. How could the Queen Mother like it?"

Seeing Zhang Yong looking at him with resentment, Xie Shen was really angry.

Dead wood cannot be carved, and dead wood cannot be carved.

"Eunuch Zhang's words are wrong. Although Ms. Du came from a humble background, it is an advantage."

Advantage?

Zhang Yong suspected that he had heard wrong.

When did a humble background become an advantage?
"Eunuch Zhang, think about it, which of the queens and concubines of the Ming Dynasty came from a wealthy family?"

hiss!
Hearing this, Zhang Yongzhi gasped.

Mr. Xie Ge really awakened the dreamer with one word.

According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, concubines and empresses must be selected from small households, in order to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics.

The reason why the Han Dynasty suffered from foreign relatives intervening in politics was because the foreign relatives behind the empress and concubine were too powerful.

And choosing a woman from a small family to enter the palace will avoid this problem to the greatest extent.

Of course it is not absolute.For example, the two brothers of Queen Mother Zhang, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling.

The two Marquis are definitely domineering nobles full of evil, if it weren't for Xie Shen, no one would be able to cure them.

Of course, Er Zhang is just a fish and meat common people, not at the level of meddling in politics.

Generally speaking, the daughter of a small family can prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics by being a queen or concubine.

Therefore, Ms. Du's humble status is not only a disadvantage but also an advantage.

If Zhu Houzhao wanted to marry the daughter of a cabinet scholar or the daughter of a prince and marquis, he would definitely be opposed by all the officials.But there is nothing wrong with marrying a poor girl.

But is it too cold?
Zhang Yong hesitated and said: "The ancestors ordered, the emperor selects beautiful women from small families, but he didn't say they were from mountain families."

Xie Shen waved his hand and said sincerely: "Eunuch Zhang, rules are dead, but people are alive. Rules are made to serve people. Now that His Majesty the Emperor is in power, who would dare to say otherwise? "
