Chapter 417 Recruiting

Even without He Ran's beating, Zong Qi was ready to attack Zhu Yanmin.

He has never been a rude person. He treats Mrs. Han well because Mrs. Han is his adopted mother and a respected person; he treats Cong Cong well because Cong Cong is the only blood left by his righteous brother; He treated Han Yuzhu well because Han Yuzhu was the daughter of Mrs. Han; he treated Zhu Yanmin well because Zhu Yanmin was the widow of his righteous brother.

Before, Han Yuzhu's willful behavior was not as good as her as long as she did not touch his bottom line.

Zhu Yanmin used Cong Cong, and within a certain range, Zong Qi could reluctantly accept it. After all, she was Cong Cong's biological mother, but if she deliberately made Cong Cong get sick and used Cong Cong's life as a bargaining chip, Zong Qi would never tolerate it.

If she doesn't treat Congcong as her daughter, then she will change her mother to Congcong.

But Zong Qi never expected that someone would attack Zhu Yanmin in front of him.

This person is Mrs. Han.

After the engagement banquet, when Mrs. Han returned home, Han Yuzhu complained to Zhu Yanmin indignantly. Only then did Mrs. Han realize that it was because Mrs. Han who went out for the engagement banquet was because Zhu Yanmin sent someone to find him.

Mrs. Han felt that her old face was hot. She lived in a dignified life for most of her life. Now that she is old, she loses all her face in front of a junior.

But she is not the most embarrassing person. Some people are even more embarrassing than her, and that is her son.

At this moment, Mrs. Han wished she could kill Zhu Yanmin.

But it doesn't work.

She married Han Dazhen as a teenager. Even though she never interfered in the affairs of the help, she was influenced by her and experienced life and death, and she was no longer as weak as she seemed.

Zhu Yanmin's leg was injured, and Mrs. Han forced her to take her to the clinic.

Mrs. Han first told her family that Zhu Yanmin would stay in the clinic for a while, but she made an excuse in private and sold all the maids and mothers around Zhu Yanmin. She also used the reason that she did not match Cong Cong's horoscope. The wet nurse was also replaced.

Butler Han, who helped Zhu Yanmin send someone to deliver letters to Zong Qi, was sent back to Yangzhou by Mrs. Han and their family on the grounds that they kept the tombs of the father and son of the Han family.

Zhu Yanmin never came back after going there.

After Zhu Yanmin left, Congcong cried for two days. After the new wet nurse came, she had only had a day of trouble. She ate as much as she should and drank as she should, and stopped making trouble for her mother.

It is also sad. Since Zhu Yanmin left, Congcong rarely got sick and even cried less.

At first, my grandmother and the new wet nurse told her that her mother had gone to recuperate and was a little older. Mrs. Shangguan often asked Congcong to come to the mansion and play with the children at home. At that time, Congcong no longer remembered Zhu Yanmin.

Mao Yunzhen's pair of twins were a few months younger than Cong Cong. Mao Yunzhen simply recognized Cong Cong as her adopted daughter. Since then, Cong Cong has lived in Lao Mansion for twenty days in a month.

Mao Yunzhen is a talented woman and often publishes articles in newspapers. When Congcong was five years old, Mao Yunzhen personally enlightened her. She and Mao Yunzhen were both mother and daughter, as well as master and apprentice.

When she was seven years old, Congcong published her first article in the evening newspaper using her immature writing style. Mrs. Han happily bought hundreds of newspapers and gave them to everyone. Everyone on the street knew about it. Han's family came out. A little talented woman.

At that time, Congcong had already accepted the death of his biological mother. All the maids and mothers at home told her that she was less than one year old at that time, and her mother died of illness.

Because he was too young at that time, he had no memory of Zhu Yanmin. Perhaps it was Mao Yunzhen who gave her the lack of maternal love, or perhaps it was because she had a short relationship with Zhu Yanmin. In short, Congcong grew up with the love of his adopted mother and grandmother's love. , she grew up to be a healthy and lively, well-educated girl.

Of course, these are all later stories. Now that Zhu Yanmin has just been sent away, Han Yuzhu is still at home, complaining that Mrs. Han should not indulge Zhu Yanmin.

"She is so shameless. If I were you, I would divorce her for my brother!"

Mrs. Han raised her head and said coldly, "Your brother is gone."

"Of course I know that my brother is gone, but isn't she not Dagui? Since she hasn't Dagui, you can divorce my brother and see if her parents dare to let her go back."

Han Yuzhu heard from the brothers in the gang that Zhu Yanmin's eldest brother Zhu Yanhe was captured by the Jinyiwei, and that was not a good thing. Zong Qi had ordered Zhu Yanhe and his subordinates to be expelled from the Cao Gang.

If Zhu Yanmin was retired by the Han family to her parents' home at this time, her parents' home would definitely not let her go back. At that time, Zhu Yanmin would have to die, and Han Yuzhu was happy to think about it.

In her opinion, she likes Zong Qi with confidence, and their men are unmarried and their women are unmarried.

But Zhu Yanmin is a widow. Although the widow can be remarried now, Zhu Yanmin does not want to marry Zong Qi. She knew that Zong Qi would not marry her, but just wanted to use the Han family to hold Zong Qi tightly and let Zong Qi revolve around her. .

Han Yuzhu cursed, "She is so shameless, she must be divorced!"

Mrs. Han said, "If you leave her, Congcong will have a abandoned biological mother."

Han Yuzhu was stunned. Although she didn't like Cong Cong very much, Cong Cong was her brother's blood after all. Although she was a girl, she was also the only grandchild of the Han family.

Orphans like Congcong are easily disliked when they are engaged in marriage. If they have a biological mother who is divorced, it will be difficult for Congcong to marry a decent family.

"But you can't just let her go easily."

Seeing Han Yuzhu changing her tone, Mrs. Han felt a little comforted. Although her daughter had many shortcomings, Han Yuzhu was still like a human being when it comes to Congcong.

"Aqi has been engaged and will get married in April next year, so you should calm down."

Han Yuzhu lowered her head and after a while, she said, "Mom, I want to stay at home to find a husband, and I want to find a husband immediately."

Mrs. Han was stunned. My daughter was really saying it out loud. Of course, it might also be that she was stimulated by Zong Qi's engagement. The sorrow is more than death, so she wanted to get married immediately.

"Okay, just ask for a husband. Anyway, there is always one you and Congcong who want to ask for a husband, either you or her. I will go to the matchmaker to inquire tomorrow."

Mrs. Han asked Mrs. Shangguan to tell Han Yuzhu about marriage, but that was to marry a daughter, not to recruit a wife. Mrs. Shangguan knew either the children of officials or the scholars with fame. Such a family would not let the males in the family marry into her. , so Mrs. Han decided to go to the matchmaker.

Unexpectedly, the matchmaker had not replied to him, but Han Yuzhu found someone herself.

The person she was looking for was also from the Cao Gang, and it was the small manager at the dock closest to the capital. His name was Ding Qian, who was twenty-five years old and looked very handsome, so it was appropriate to be a son-in-law.

After finding someone, Han Yuzhu was in a hurry to get married. Ding Qian was an orphan and had no family. As long as he nodded, the marriage would be done.

If it were in the past, Mrs. Han would have called Zong Qi to discuss it, but Han Yuzhu would have been pestering Zong Qi, so Mrs. Han would not have the same face to ask Zong Qi to discuss Han Yuzhu's marriage.

Anyway, I am also asking for help. From now on, I will be under my nose. Dingqian is from the Cao Gang again, so I don’t dare to act rashly.

In addition, Han Yuzhu always acts like heaven and earth, and Mrs. Han is also tired and worried that she will continue to pester Zong Qi, so Mrs. Han agrees to the marriage. When Zong Qi learned about this, the Han family's betrothal gift had been given to where Ding Qian lived.

Ding Qian is single. He rented a house with a few brothers in the gang. The bachelors gathered together, either drinking or gambling. On the day of giving the betrothal gift, a group of brothers happened to be at their house, so this incident reached Zong Qi'er on the same day. middle.

He hurriedly sent someone to inquire about Ding Qian. Ding Qian's previous performance was neither good nor bad, but he was the kind of person who was difficult to notice when put in the crowd. I don't know where Han Yuzhu pulled him out.

Just like Mrs. Han’s idea, since Han Yuzhu is willing to get married, Zong Qi certainly has no objection. Moreover, Ding Qian is a brother in the gang. Can he still find his Five Fingers Mountain?

So just one month after Zong Qi and Lu Chang got engaged, Ding Qian married into the Han family and became the son-in-law of the Han family.

As soon as the Han family's happy event was completed, the news of King Zhao's death spread to the capital and spread throughout the world.

King Zhao Zhou Jian was less than nineteen years old when he died, and he was not even married and had no children.

Chunwang, who made a banner for Zhou Jian, was asked by Chunwang himself. When Zhou Jian was alive, he would never dream of the one who made a banner for him in the end was the one who pushed him into the lake by himself. Chunwang who died.

"You really want to make a banner for King Zhao?" Yuan Xiaodong asked Chunwang in confusion. After Chunwang left the palace, he had been living in his and Zeng Fu's house.

"Well, I've served him for several years, and no matter what, I'm a little bit of affection."

Chunwang didn't say that, in fact, at the beginning, he was serving Zhou Jian sincerely and really wanted to help him. At that time, Zhou Jian was panicked and helpless, just like he was not adopted.

Yuan Xiaodong remembered the former young emperor Min Chen, who had depended on Min Chen for life. However, Min Chen was much stronger than Zhou Jian, and Min Chen did not push him into the lake. Therefore, Zhou Jian's character is even Min Chen. Not as good as.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

"Okay, I'll talk to the boss." Yuan Xiaodong patted Chunwang's shoulder.

He Ran agreed without hesitation.

There is one thing she did not announce to the public, and of course, it will become an eternal secret.

Zhou Jian did not die of illness, nor was she killed. Zhou Jian was knocked unconscious by his biological mother Liu Ruyan with a stool and strangled to death with a tape.

Liu Ruyan knocked Zhou Jian unconscious with a stool, but she was angry for a moment, but she strangled Zhou Jian to death. In her own words, that is—

"After I knocked him out, I suddenly thought, how great it would be if he died like this. This little **** has been dragging me down. If I hadn't given birth to him, I would still be the most popular flower **** Huajie Street If it weren't for him, I would have been bought home as a concubine by a rich man. How could I have been cheaper for that family? Later, I finally lived a good life, but he ruined it. I just want him to die, let him die, I hate him to death, he must die! ”

The jade pendant finally returned to He Ran's hand, and she handed the jade pendant to Zhong Yi: "This is Zhou Chi's thing, I'll give it to you."

Zhong Yi looked at her and said slowly, "You dislike him very much, do you?"

This "he" is not Zhou Jian, but Zhou Chi.

He Ran looked at him deeply and said, "Some children are not fun when they grow up."

Zhong Yi smiled bitterly and took the jade pendant.

Walking out of Laomofang Hutong, Zhong Yi looked up at the blue sky, cloudless, and the autumn air was clear and cool.

He took out the jade pendant. He no longer remembered whether there was such a jade pendant. He Ran said it was his, so it must be.

She actually remembered that he had worn this jade pendant.

This shows that she did not deliberately remove him from her memory. She still remembers many things about him, and she still cares about him.

At this moment, Zhong Yi suddenly wanted to go back, rushed to He Ran, and asked loudly: "Sister, are you still blaming me?"

But he turned around and turned back.

He dared not, he really dared not.

He felt that he was ridiculous, and he liked it, and he would have something he dared to do.

After living for two lifetimes, he was very bold. He even dared to rebel, but he did not dare to ask a question in front of a little woman.

He laughed at himself and turned his back on his horse. He had a lot of things he could do. Thank her, and he still kept him by her side in this life to clean up her dust and remove dirt.

In Longxi, thousands of miles away, He Shuting was holding a rattle in her hand and was teasing her son in the cradle.

The child made ah ah sound, grinning and smiling happily.

At this moment, the maid pushed the door and came to He Shuting's ear and said, "Madam, Sister Hongxiu is back."

He Shuting suddenly felt energetic: "Let her come and see me."

The maid smiled and said, "Sister Hongxiu is washing and changing clothes. Not only that, she also asked me for sandalwood to smoke it, saying that she was afraid of bringing the evil spirits outside in."

He Shuting smiled: "She is the most particular, you all have to learn from her."

The maid hurriedly said, "Sister Hongxiu is best at serving the wife and the young prince. I am stupid and can't learn anything after learning it."

He Shuting smiled without saying a word, but said in her heart, of course you can't learn it, just Hongxiu's martial arts, how could you learn it?

After a while, Hongxiu came to see He Shuting with a refreshing look, with a faint sandalwood on her body, diluting her murderous aura that was revealed inadvertently.

"Have you found out?" He Shuting asked impatiently.

"Madam, I am fortunate to be able to save my mission. Mr. He is really wronged. The small courtyard where he lives is Liu Baihu from the Third Battalion.

Liu Baihu was not in harmony with his wife and would rather live in the military camp than go home. After a while, Mrs. Liu had a beginning and end with Wang Shusheng who wrote letters on that street.

It was also Mr. He who was unlucky. That day, he happened to meet the two of them together. Mr. He pretended not to see anything and went home by himself. However, the adulterer was worried that he would tell the matter out, so he wanted to frame him.

That night, Miss Liu jumped from the wall to Mr. He's house, trying to conceal Mr. He and tease her, and then let Mr. Wang catch the evildoer. She pulled Mr. He into the water, making Mr. He dare not speak out, and thus concealed the scandal of the two of them.

But Mr. He was a gentleman and was reluctant to submit, so he started fighting with them. In desperation, he picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it on Miss Liu's head. Miss Liu died.

Mrs. Liu died, and Liu Baihu came back and beat Mr. He. Maybe he knew that Mr. He was wronged, and Liu Baihu did not report to the official. ”

He Shuting frowned slightly: "Don't report to the official? That's not OK. I'll give Liu Baihu 100 taels of silver, ask him to buy a coffin for Miss Liu, and then write a complaint for him to report to the official, and send He Zongqun to the official. Go to death jail."
