On the day Tu Chen officially went to the Ministry of Revenue,
It happened to be the day Xia family left the capital.
"Sister, you have to be well. I will study hard when I go back,
In a few years,
When the time comes, I will strive to come to the capital for the exam. "Xia Ji's eyes were red,
His heart was filled with sadness.
"Yes,
Be good, I won't be here,
You have to take good care of father and mother. You are a man. Finally,
The whole family needs you to support it. You have to work hard. "As he spoke, Xia Lu's eyes also turned red,
She had personally experienced how long it took to travel from the border to the capital, so she understood,
Goodbye,
Who knew what year or month it would be,
Xia Fu's mother was getting older and older, and she would be the matriarch of Ningguo Province,
She could not leave easily,
And Xia Fu's mother was no longer suitable for running around,
After this farewell,
It might even be a farewell of death. How could Xia Lu not be sad.
Seeing this, Jia Zhen took a step forward and promised, "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, this son-in-law will take good care of Madam. Don't worry, I won't let her suffer."
Xia Fu took a step forward and patted Jia Zhen's shoulder. He trusted Duke Ning, and he also believed in Ning Guogong's grandson's character. Moreover, her Xiao Luer was also someone who would not be willing to suffer losses. His Xiao Luer would definitely live a good life.
By the side, Xia Mu's mother was already sobbing uncontrollably. She suddenly regretted, she should not have married Little Lu 'er off to such a faraway place.
After a round of farewells, the Xia family finally got into the carriage and left. Xia Lu looked at the back of the carriage, tears falling from her eyes. Seeing this, Jia Zhen pulled her into his arms. "Don't cry anymore, it's not like you anymore. You will meet again one day," Jia Zhen whispered in Xia Lu's ear to comfort her. He didn't like this kind of violent woman. The violent woman in his heart had always been flamboyant. Her eyes were bright, as if there were stars flashing in them.
Xia Lu cried in Jia Zhen's arms. She was not a god. She could be weak and sad too. Her relationship with Xia Fu, her mother, and Xia Ji over the years was real and sincere. Now that they were separated, how could she not be sad? This time, she would allow herself to indulge for a while. Tomorrow, she would pull herself together.
"Master, you've been transferred to the Ministry of Revenue. Do you want to celebrate?" the Fourth Princess Consort asked.
"What's there to celebrate? It's not like I'm being promoted like the other officials. I'm just being transferred from the Ministry of Works to the Ministry of Revenue." Tu Chen rejected the Fourth Imperial Concubine's suggestion. Although he didn't know why his Imperial Father had transferred him to the Ministry of Revenue, he was now in the eyes of others. The Ministry of Revenue wasn't like the Ministry of Works. It was in charge of the national treasury. For him at this stage, it was both good and bad. However, since this power was in his hands, he wouldn't give it up.
"Yes." The Fourth Imperial Concubine just mentioned it. It was entirely up to Tu Chen whether they wanted to celebrate or not.
Tu Chen let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the sky outside, a smile appeared on his lips. Sure enough, when a prince was born, he would not be content with his lot. His other four brothers were the only exception. Although he appeared to be indifferent to fame and fortune and only wanted to be an idle king, in his heart, he would not lose to his other four brothers. As for his Sixth Brother, he was only 13 years old. These days, whenever he saw him, he would look at him with disdain, thinking that he had stolen his Ministry of Revenue. Tu Chen's lips curled into a cold smile.
The day after Xia family left, Xia Lu was full of energy. She then mentioned to Jia Zhen that she was going to practice martial arts with them today.
Jia Zhen covered his face. This violent woman really made him believe that as soon as his wife's family left, she started to bully her. Well, since she was so sad, he would suffer more this time.
Sure enough, when they were practicing martial arts at night, Jia Zhen suddenly said, "Get your grandmother here."
Xiao Cui looked at the Jia Zhen who was practicing martial arts with Master Wu. She was a little confused. She didn't know why Jia Zhen was looking for her grandmother at this time. However, because of Jia Zhen's order, Xiao Cui quickly called Xia Lu over.
"You, go change your clothes and come over to practice martial arts with me." Jia Zhen saw Xia Lu coming over and pretended to be very fierce as he said this.
Xia Lu saw that Jia Zhen really did what he said and was immediately happy. However, for the sake of her image, she pretended to be about to cry. Xiao Cui, who was beside her, immediately exploded. "Master, how can you ask this? Grandma is a girl. How can she do such a thing?" Xiao Cui was anxious. How could her Young Master bully her grandmother like this?
"Why not? Master Li, are there any women in the world who practice martial arts?" Jia Zhen asked Master Wu, who was silent at the side.
Master Li was silent for a while, but he still nodded slightly. It wasn't difficult for women to learn martial arts, but it was rare for women to learn it well. Moreover, there was another point to learning martial arts: one had to start from a baby. No matter if it was a boy or a girl, one had to start from a baby. Master Wu was still very worried when he saw the Heir's wife's delicate appearance.
"Did you hear that? Go change your clothes. "Jia Zhen was proud and deliberately made an expression of a villain who had succeeded.
"Yes." Xia Lu was very happy. Then, he turned around and went back to the room to change into a convenient set of clothes.
When Xia Lu came out, Master Li didn't say that he didn't want to. Instead, he directly asked Xia Lu to do the martial-art squat with Jia Zhen. Xiao Cui quickly left the Sakura Temple to report to Jia Zhen.
"What? Zheng 'er, this evil creature. Xia family just left yesterday. I'm afraid they haven't even left the capital yet. Today, he's already thinking of torturing his wife. Mama Gui, help me over there to take a look," Jia Zhen said angrily.
"Yes." Mama Gui helped Jia Zhen up and walked towards the Sakura Temple.
When Jia Zhen arrived at the Sakura Temple, she saw Jia Zhen and Xia Lu squatting face to face.
"You, you evil creature, aren't you messing around?" Jia Zhen rushed over and looked at her son with an expression of disappointment. At this time, Jia Zhen completely regarded Xia Lu as the victim and Jia Zhen as the perpetrator. She completely didn't see that the victim's face was not red, his heart was not beating fast, and he was not out of breath after squatting for so long. On the other hand, Jia Zhen, the perpetrator, had a red face and weak limbs. He looked like he could collapse at any time.
"Madam, why are you here?" Jia Zhen was a little confused and looked at Jia Zhen in confusion.
"Except for such a big matter, how can I not come to take a look? Your wife is a woman. How can she be like you and accept the training of a martial arts master? Isn't this nonsense?" Jia Zhen was very angry. This son of hers was simply causing trouble every two or three days.
Master Li, who was standing at the side, looked at this scene and swallowed the words he wanted to say. He wanted to say that in fact, in this short period of time, Shizi's wife's talent in learning Kung Fu was far better than Shizi's. It should be said that Shizi's wife had good Kung Fu. He had some doubts at first, but when he heard that Shizi's wife was Xia Dong's daughter, he understood. At that time, he and Xia Dong were both personal guards under Ning Guogong. He admired Xia Dong's Kung Fu. His daughter was also good. However, it was obvious that Mrs. Jia didn't know about Shizi's wife's situation. As for whether Shizi himself was clear about this, he still needed to continue observing. However, he felt that there was an 80% possibility that Shizi himself was clear about it.
Since the Crown Prince was clear in his heart, he would pretend that he didn't know anything. The more he spoke, the more likely he would make mistakes. The Ningguo Mansion wasn't a small family like his, so he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"I just feel that practicing Kung Fu alone is boring, so I want to find a partner. I don't like those maids and manservants. In my generation, Lin'er is in poor health, and Jia Zhu from Xi Province is only a little girl. That's why I want to invite Xia Clan to learn Kung Fu with me. I don't want her to learn Kung Fu well. I just want to play with her. Even if she doesn't learn Kung Fu well, I won't dislike her." Jia Zhen casually found an excuse to fool Jia Zhen.
Haha, he has only learned Kung Fu for a few days, and he already said that he dislikes me. Are you kidding me? Don't let me get my whip, or I'll do whatever I want to you. Xia Lu complained in his heart, but he pretended to be obedient.
Hearing Jia Zhen's words, Jia Zhen's expression became slightly better. She reached out, grabbed Xia Lu's hand, pulled him aside, and said softly, "You've been wronged, good child. In fact, Zheng 'er is not a bad person. If you don't want to learn, just tell me. I won't let Zheng' er bully you."
Xia Lu thought that she had been filial enough these days. After all, her own son was her own son. She said that if she didn't want to learn, she wouldn't let her Jia Zhen bully her, but she didn't say it from the beginning. If she didn't want to learn, she wouldn't force her. What did that mean? She still hoped that Jia Zhen would be happy. "It's not wronged. As long as Master is happy, I'm willing to do anything. Furthermore, I feel that Master is unhappy because I didn't learn well at Master Wu's place a few days ago. I don't know anything, so I'm even worse than you. Master will naturally not feel unhappy when you see my clumsy appearance."
Xia Lu was almost touched by herself. She was here to serve as a foil to Jia Zhen's brilliance. With such a stupid person like her as a foil, wouldn't it make Jia Zhen seem even more noble?
"Good child," Jia Zhen was satisfied. "Then you can practice with Zheng 'er first," Jia Zhen said with a smile. In the end, she said politely. "If you really can't take it anymore, come and find me. I'll help you."
