Chapter 124: Wishful thinking
When Ning Zhiyuan listened to the news from Cheng Jin, Gu Qingwei was talking to Gu Jinlin, who was going back to her parents' house to live. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Only a few days after the old lady's birthday, Gu Jinlin went back to her parents' house, saying that she was bored at home and wanted to go back to her parents' home.
Not only did she come back by herself, but she also brought her two brothers back to the Gu family, and even when she came back, she didn't have a thoughtful send-off.
What does this mean to go back to her parents' house to live, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is obviously Gu Jinlin and Zhou Jinzhi had an awkward quarrel for some reason, so they went back to their parents' house in a rage.
Gu Jinlin was tight-mouthed, no matter how the old lady asked, she couldn't ask anything accurately, the old lady was helpless, thinking that Gu Jinlin and Gu Qingwei, a niece, had always been close, so she had to send Gu Qingwei to probe her tone.
Speaking of which, since Zhou Jinzhi married Gu Jinlin, this luck has been getting better day by day.
After marrying Gu Jinlin, Zhou Jinzhi asked the officials to return to Beijing, at that time, Brother Xue was only half a year old, and he could already travel far away, so Gu Jinlin took Brother Xue to Beijing with Zhou Jinzhi.
Zhou Jinzhi was admitted to Shu Jishi that year, but he didn't wait for the museum to disperse and returned home, so he re-entered the Hanlin Academy since he re-entered Beijing.
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty has only been established for more than 30 years, there is now a faint saying that "non-Jinshi does not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet", so in recent years, the Shu Ji Shi has a "prince" title, and now several cabinet ministers are all from the Shu Ji Shi.
Shu Jishi was a close minister of the Son of Heaven, responsible for drafting edicts, and also had the responsibility of explaining the scriptures to the Son of Heaven.
In the past three years in the capital, Zhou Jinzhi has been praised by the current emperor more than once, and the future can be described as bright.
Most of the people stayed in the museum after the dispersal of the museum, edited or reviewed by the Hanlin Academy, Zhou Jinzhi disbanded the museum with excellent results in the middle of last year, according to the convention, he should have served in the Hanlin Academy, although the Hanlin Academy is a clear water yamen, but it is a broad road to the cabinet, and it is a good place to go.
But Zhou Jinzhi was appreciated in front of the Son of Heaven, so he naturally became a thorn in the side of others, and was also publicized that his wife was the daughter of the Gu family of Qinghe.
The current emperor's attitude towards the world will not be known to the ministers of the court, so there are people in the ministry who think they understand the emperor's thoughts, and they are ready to arrange Zhou Jinzhi into the six departments at will to be a petty official who can never get ahead, but in the end, this matter was pressed by the emperor.
And Zhou Jinzhi, because the current Emperor Yuanchang has not made a clear statement, he has returned home for nearly a year.
Shortly before the old lady's birthday, Zhou Jinzhi received a letter from a friend in the capital, his appointment may be coming down, and Emperor Yuanchang intends to grant him the editor of the Hanlin Academy.
It's a bittersweet end.
Under Gu Qingwei's questioning, Gu Jinlin finally talked about the reason why she went back to her parents' house.
“…… It was only two days after your uncle got the news, and the Zhang family didn't know where to get the news, so they just said that your uncle was about to soar, and he had a crooked mind. Gu Jinlin said coldly.
She was really close to Gu Qingwei, and what she didn't even want to say to the old lady was naturally said here by Gu Qingwei.
This time, it was because of Zhou Jin's previous fiancée's maiden family, the Zhang family.
Although the Zhang family has come to the door every once in a while to fight the autumn breeze in the past five years, in general, it is still peaceful, and they are safe, and Gu Jinlin is willing to give up some money to send them away, as a way to thank the eldest girl of the Zhang family for her hard work back then.
Because of Gu Jinlin's help from time to time, and the Zhang family originally did not have to worry about food and clothing, the Zhang family has lived an extremely comfortable life in the past few years.
Until the end of last year, the only son of the Zhang family learned to gamble under the lure and lure of fox friends and dog friends.
The only son of the Zhang family is not a masterpiece, at the age of seventeen or eighteen he married a wife under the control of the second elder of the Zhang family, since he had children, not only did he not restrain his mind to live a good life, but he felt that he had completed the great task of inheriting the lineage, and since then he has become more and more idle, and it is not incomprehensible to be lured to become addicted to gambling.
Where can anyone who is stained with the word "gambling" have a good end, the Zhou family is not a rich and noble family, and the family background has lost all after the only son of the Zhang family has entered and exited the casino again and again.
So from the end of last year to the present, the number of visits by the Zhang family has increased, and the names of asking for silver are also varied.
Although Gu Jinlin was willing to give up some money to support the Zhang family, the Zhang family was the maiden family of Zhou Jin's previous fiancée, and they came more often, so they naturally felt a little uncomfortable, and they had doubts about the Zhang family coming to the door so frequently, so they asked people to check what was going on.
This investigation naturally found out the gambling of the Zhang family's son.
From this day on, the Zhang family came to the door again, and Gu Jinlin never let them in again.
It is one thing that she is willing to thank the eldest girl of the Zhang family for six years on behalf of Zhou Jinzhi, but firstly, Zhou Jinzhi has been mourning for the eldest girl of the Zhang family for three years, which can be regarded as repaying her waiting, and secondly, Gu Jinlin is unwilling to take money to support such a person who can only throw silver into the water.
Maybe she took the silver here, and the son of the Zhang family went to gamble again, and the more he gambled, the bigger the gamble became.
Without Gu Jinlin's entry here, and being defeated by his son, the Zhang family's life immediately became difficult.
There was no way, so the second elder of the Zhang family hit the idea of the youngest daughter's marriage.
Since Gu Jinlin and Zhou Jinzhi became relatives, the Zhang family has claimed to be a family that is related to the Gu family, so it is extremely strict in the marriage of the youngest daughter.
Five years have passed, and the youngest daughter of the Zhang family, who was originally as green and tender as a shallot, has become a twenty-two-year-old girl.
The second elder of the Zhang family pondered about the youngest daughter's family affairs, and happened to occasionally hear from the mouth of the Zhou family that Zhou Jinzhi had been reused by the emperor and was going to enter the Hanlin Academy as an official.
The Zhang family had never read any books, but they only felt that the Hanlin Academy was a good place when they heard it, and Zhou Jinzhi must be a big official, so it was natural that they hit Zhou Jinzhi with the idea.
Of course, with Gu Jinlin, Mrs. Zhou from the Gu family, the Zhang family had the idea of letting their youngest daughter give Zhou Jinzhi as a concubine from the beginning.
Even they even thought about persuading Zhou Jinzhi to accept their youngest daughter's rhetoric, and said that the eldest daughter had a dream, and she felt sorry that she couldn't become Zhou Jinzhi's wife, so she deliberately let the little sister in the family fulfill her last wish and serve Zhou Jinzhi around.
With Zhou Jinzhi's debt to his eldest daughter, could he still refuse their little daughter?
That's how the Zhang family's wishful thinking worked. (To be continued.) )
