Zhang Wei quickly put his arms around his wife's shoulders: "We all listen to you."
Mrs. Zhang was also thirty years old. She pushed away her husband with some embarrassment, wiped her tears and said, "It's fine now. Your Highness still remembers the love that I took care of you in the past. In the future, you will teach your son well, as long as he is loyal to you." , he will definitely be able to make a difference."
Zhang Wei nodded seriously, and then the smiling face of Magistrate Pingyang suddenly appeared in his mind. Only then did he realize that he had not discussed such an important matter with his wife.
So she said it out loud, and Mrs. Zhang frowned when she heard it. However, seeing her husband's nervous look, he didn't say anything. She breathed a sigh of relief when he asked if he could identify the young lady.
It is true that there are nine young ladies in the magistrate's family, but five of them are born to concubines. If they are destined to be concubines, Mrs. Zhang will not let her son marry her even if she tries to offend others. Her slave lady is marrying He returned it to her in front of others. Although her husband had a small official position, he was also a serious court official.
There is no reason to let their eldest son marry a concubine, but if it is a legitimate young lady, it is not impossible to consider it. The prefect of Pingyang is still young and may not have the potential to develop in the capital, so he will seize the Zhang family. Line.
The Zhang family has connections but no background, and the prefect's family has connections but no connections. In this way, they are well matched. When talking about marriage, Mrs. Zhang picked up a beautifully woven brocade quilt embroidered with dragons and phoenixes from the side.
She began to embroider this by herself when she heard that Zhu Biao was engaged. However, the prince's wedding was suddenly brought forward, so she did not send it out. Zhang Wei looked at this brocade quilt that his wife had put a lot of effort into and said: "It will be waiting for His Highness to leave. Give it away when the time comes, it’s all in your heart.”
Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said: "I knitted this to express my gratitude. Now that the wedding is over, it would be frivolous to give it to His Highness. Let's give it to Eunuch Liu. Your Highness can stay warm when camping outside on weekdays."
The couple discussed for a while. Ms. Zhang was also a little tired, and she would personally prepare meals for Zhu Biao tomorrow morning, so the two of them went to bed without saying any more.
In the dead of night, there are still hundreds of people on duty inside and outside Zhang Mansion, and there is an endless stream of Pingyang Mansion servants wandering back and forth at the door. This is obvious. The manpower expended for Zhu Biao to sleep peacefully is terrifying.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Zhang sent people to the morning market to buy the best mushrooms. It took a long time to prepare a pot of mushroom and chicken porridge, and several delicious side dishes.
Zhu Biao also got up a little later than usual. He slowly opened his eyes with a smile on his lips. He rolled on the bed for a while, feeling his body became soft, and then he sat up.
This is a rare day of leisure. Usually at this hour, he has already broken camp and marched for an hour. At this time in Kaifeng Mansion, he also has to deal with official duties. Today is the only time he has nothing to do. He can just go and have a meal with the officials of Pingyang Mansion at noon. .
Liu Jin on the side led two maids to wait on him, handed him warm water for mouthwash, then washed and dressed neatly, and was led to the lobby when he went out. Looking at the familiar food in front of him, Zhu Biao happily ate to his fill. Zhang Wei had already gone out. , originally he wanted to stay at home, but Mrs. Zhang thought he was stupid, and staying here would only make it more embarrassing.
After Zhu Biao finished his meal, he walked around the yard a few times. Unfortunately, he was very young, so he went to the study to give some advice to Zhang's son. This child was named Zhang Zhun, and he was quite good at reading.
While discussing Empress Ma's daily life with Zhang, Liu Jin sent a letter from the capital. Zhang immediately went down to prepare tea. Zhu Biao opened it and looked at the letter from Mao Xiang at the top, which told about recent events in the capital.
His father must have asked him to write it. Zhu Yuanzhang was not one to write letters to his son. The most he could do was follow up Empress Ma's letter with a few words of concern for him.
Zhu Biao read it carefully and found that there had been no major events in the DPRK recently. Only the conflict between Yang Xian and Hu Weiyong was intensifying day by day, and Li Shanchang retreated step by step, which made the Huaixi nobles very disappointed with him.
Moreover, Li Shanchang had also submitted a memorial to beg his body to return home and retire, but he was turned back by Zhu Yuanzhang, who gave him many gifts to show his favor and trust. However, after going back and forth several times, Zhu Yuanzhang also asked him to abdicate and honor him. .
In addition, Yanshenggong Kong Xixue also took over the task of rebuilding "Mencius". Worried about his reputation being damaged, he also forcibly recruited a group of famous Confucian scholars who had previously supported the Confucian family. If this step continues, the decline of the Confucian family will soon begin. Far.
Then came the letters between his mother and the Crown Princess. Zhu Biao opened his mother's letter first. His mother was worried after her son traveled thousands of miles. Even though she knew that Zhu Biao was being taken care of all the way, she still took the trouble to warn him. Finally, he said that the imperial doctor would check Chang Luohua. After that, there was no discomfort.
Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows and read it several times before realizing that his mother was saying that Chang Luohua was not pregnant with the child. It seemed that the mother was still too bored, but Zhu Biao really did not want to have children now, no matter for Zhu Biao Still, it was a bit too early for Chang Luohua.
He didn't need a grandson to consolidate his position in order to please his father. Chang Luohua was still young, so giving birth so early was not a good thing, not to mention that giving birth in ancient times was so dangerous that it wouldn't be appropriate until two years later.
His father was probably fine, after all, he himself only had Zhu Biao in his late thirties, but Queen Ma must be anxious to have her grandson. Zhu Biao turned his attention to the Zhang family. The maids accompanying his mother were all new ones. Not many of them were considerate.
It seems that after returning to the capital, Zhang Wei will have to be transferred to the capital. Yu'er is Empress Ma's personal maid before she leaves the palace. The relationship between the two is extraordinary. This way, the mother will have a companion, and she will not be so anxious to have her grandson.
Mrs. Zhang came back with the letter at this time. Queen Ma's letter was written almost ten days ago. Naturally, she didn't know that he had met Yu'er. Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Mother later wrote, sister Yu'er, let's take a look. "
Mrs. Zhang nodded quickly, picked up Queen Ma's letter and read it. It had been a long time since she had seen an autographed letter from her young lady. Zhu Biao took a sip of tea and then read the letter sent by his princess.
It writes about her daily life in the East Palace. All the noble women in Beijing have taken turns to visit the East Palace. They all respect her very much. They also expressed their husbands' respect for His Royal Highness in their words. Chang Luohua also listed several things. Less names.
Zhu Biao glanced at it and skipped it. The country was stable, and the ministers would naturally not be indecisive. The Crown Princess had just come into contact with Madam Diplomacy, and was still a little confused. She was afraid of not doing well, so she wrote it out in such detail to Zhu Biao. .
What follows is Chang Luohua's concern for her husband. His instructions are similar to those of Empress Ma. No wonder the woman he married is called the bride. She is really a new mother. After the instructions, there is a poem "When there is no limit to the end of the world." , only endless lovesickness.”
Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile, as the figure of his own princess appeared in his mind. Zhang who was beside him reluctantly put down the letter written by Queen Ma, and turned to look at the smile on Zhu Biao's face.
