Part 6
What's wrong with the boys in the capital? After talking for a while, they turn around and ask for the girl's name.
Noticing her actions, the purple-clothed young master clicked his tongue.
Whose daughter is this young lady to be so naive?
After she gets married, won't she be bullied by her husband's family and turned into a bun?
Jiu Zhou saw the purple-clothed young master also looking at her with the eyes of a "rabbit about to be roasted" and then swinging his whip to leave. Finally, she confirmed one thing.
The problem is not her, but everyone in this capital.
"Little sister." Ming Cunfu carried a few books and walked over, "Let's go, let's go home."
"Yes."
Sitting on the carriage, Jiu Zhou painfully covered her purse, "Sixth brother, just now I accidentally crushed someone's cricket to death, I have to pay compensation for the burial fee."
"What cricket?" Ming Cunfu knew that several playboy young masters in the capital liked to raise crickets, and fought crickets for fun.
"Master called it General Chang Sheng."
"What?" Ming Cunfu, who was lazily sitting up, suddenly sat up, "General Chang Sheng?"
In this entire capital, except for that ridiculous Divine King, who else would dare to name a cricket like that?
"Compensate...! How much compensation?" He gulped down his dry throat.
"Compensation of this much silver." Jiu Zhou stretched out his little finger, looking at the distance of half a fingernail.
Ming Cun Fu breathed a sigh of relief, that cheap price definitely wasn't General Chang Sheng.
Rumor has it that the Divine King spent nearly a hundred taels of gold to buy a cricket, and even named it General Chang Sheng.
If this really was the cricket of this prince, the little silver on his sister would probably only be enough to bury a few cricket legs.
A few days later, Jiu Zhou was at home drinking tea with his mother when he saw his father walk in the door with a gloomy face.
"What's the matter?" Shen shi asked casually.
"Just some trivial matters in the court." Ming Jing Zhou forced a smile, picked up the teacup in front of Shen shi and took a few sips, "Today, in the court, someone submitted a memorial asking His Majesty to establish a crown prince, Prince Huai and Prince Qi are the most popular."
"What does Your Majesty think?" Shen shi held a piece of cake and brought it in front of Ming Jing Zhou.
"His Majesty is very angry." Ming Jing Zhou sat at the table, finished his tea and ate the cake, then turned his head to look at his daughter.
Jiu Zhou looked at him in confusion.
"Sigh." Ming Jing Zhou sighed.
Every prince had someone to recommend him, but his daughter's fiance, the civil officials hated him, the military generals despised him, no one recommended him.
"What's wrong, father?" Jiu Zhou gently patted Ming Jing Zhou's back, "Is it that His Majesty is also not satisfied with the prince that father recommended?"
Ming Jing Zhou silently shook his head, if that was all, he wouldn't have sighed.
"Didn't my parents say that His Majesty is only fifty-one years old now?" Jiu Zhou didn't understand why the courtiers were so eager for the emperor to establish a crown prince, wasn't this like ordinary families pointing at a healthy elder and saying, I see that you will die sooner or later, so let's divide the family fortune soon."
Ming Jing Zhou nodded.
"His Majesty is mentally healthy, has the country as his companion, is obeyed by the people, and even military power is in his hands." Jiu Zhou looked at Ming Jing Zhou in confusion, "What good will it do for Your Majesty to establish a crown prince so early?"
"But now that the princes have all grown up, and Your Majesty favors Consort Su exclusively, I'm afraid that even the country will be taken away by this mother and son."
"They are all His Majesty's sons, why can't the Divine King..."
Shen Shi stuffed a piece of crispy candy into Jiu Zhou's mouth, coaxing him in a low voice, "Jiu Zhou, be good, don't talk about the affairs of the court."
Ju Zhou chewed on the candy in his mouth, it was fine to talk about King Huai and King Qi, but why couldn't he talk about the Divine King?
Thinking about how even a child dared to say that the Imperial Noble Consort was a demon, Jiu Zhou suddenly felt uncomfortable.
The Empress and the Divine King were so kind, why were they shunned by the people in the capital?
"The Divine King's behavior is extremely absurd." Speaking of the future son-in-law, the wrinkles on Ming Jingzhou's forehead grew a few more, "I heard that the prince of Pingyuan Hou made him unhappy, so he pushed him into the school to copy books."
"What's wrong with copying books?" Shen shi was surprised, the Divine King's punishment method this time was gentler than before.
"Let Zheng Wangnan go to the first children's elementary school."
It was hard to say whether this method was harsh or not, but the humiliation was extremely strong.
"Then it must be because Zheng Wangnan did something very outrageous, so the Divine King did that." Jiu Zhou said firmly, "The Divine King is gentle and kind, he definitely wouldn't punish others for no reason."
Shen shi and Ming Jingzhou looked at Ming Jiu Zhou at the same time.
My daughter, what kind of misunderstanding did you have about the Divine King's character?
"That guy Trinh Vong Nam, the last time Luc Ca and I went out, we met him." Cuu Chau told her parents about that day, "He made fun of me for choosing such a vulgar hairpin, but he also wanted to ask whose daughter I was."
"I'm suspicious..." She touched her chin, looking profound, revealing a smart look, "He wants to know whose daughter I am, then use that to mock our whole family."
"Nonsense, what do men know about jewelry." Shen shi didn't want to hold back, who told him to badmouth the daughter she had worked so hard to find, "This kind of ignorant man should be sent to the children's elementary school."
"Madam, it's the number one class."
That is, the youngest elementary school.
"Then...! Won't the children be influenced by him?" She remembered that her distant relative's child was also studying in the number one elementary school.
Every family's child is precious, don't let Zheng Wangnan spoil it.
"Actually, there's no need to be like this..." Ming Jingzhou coughed lightly, changing the subject. He turned his head and asked Jiuzhou, "Jiuzhou, I heard that His Highness the Divine King...! is gentle and kind, where did that come from?"
How could there be such an untrue rumor in the capital?
"Isn't that true?"
Ming Jingzhou, "..."
This rumor must be a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from the truth.
Fortunately, at least it's not so far off.
Actually, this sentence "His Highness the Divine King is gentle and kind" is half true.
For example, the four words "His Highness the Divine King.".
