Gu Zizhong knew that his father's old face was relatively thick, and he was reluctant to take the initiative to open up to others.

Even so, his father still took the lead in responding to Brother Zishan's matter.

Maybe there is no way, since the Gu family has already made such a big capital for Brother Zishan, it should be another one.

Gu Zizhong is a little worthless for his family.

But there was still a lot of arrogance in her eyes when she looked at Brother Zishan.

She knew that in the matter of the Northern Expedition, the big guy took Brother Zishan's exploits as a balance of interests.

As long as Brother Zishan returns triumphantly, then the Jinling Zhu family and the Gu family will benefit, so the two families have made such a big investment.

She had never heard of doing anything and having to do something with this and that for a long time.

So this also indirectly proves that there are indeed military generals in the court who want to rely on various strengths, whether it is their own ability or a strong background background, and want to compete with Brother Zishan for the quota of the Northern Expedition.

But Brother Zishan is still arrogant.

Arrogance is arrogance, but it can't be eaten.

Gu Zizhong was in a hurry, and it was not good to have a seizure in front of his parents.

When the two of them left their parents' room and wandered around in the courtyard, Gu Zizhong pinched his flesh on Brother Zishan's shoulder.

pinched him and cried out in pain.

Gu Zizhong was so anxious that he almost jumped up: "My father is about to pray to others for the sake of our family, but you don't say anything about it." ”

Zhu Changxi also felt that he was at a loss, and smiled awkwardly: "I want to speak, but I ...... I don't know how to say it. ”

Gu Zi was angry again, but he still had to calm down and contain his emotions.

She asked Brother Zishan to visit Master Lin with her.

The two of them asked the family to prepare a carriage and went directly.

Gu Zizhong also sent Feng Ming back to Zhu's mansion to talk to his father-in-law.

The two of them set out on a journey out of the city.

Gu Zizhong was thinking that the carriage was going to go for a day, so she bought a little bit of heart on the street and brought it with her.

In the carriage, both of them felt uncomfortable no matter how they looked at it.

Gu Zizhong even hated Brother Zishan a little.

Zhu Changxi didn't hate Gu Zizhong, but Gu Zizhong's eyes looked at him so that he couldn't respond with a smile.

He had to stare at her, even at her.

She thumped him twice on the chest.

He didn't say a word.

The two of them were bored for a long time, until Gu Zizhong felt hungry.

She took the initiative to say, "Do you want to eat?"

She handed him a piece of refreshment.

He took it and swallowed it in one gulp.

She couldn't help but laugh at the way he looked.

Gu Zizhong asked him: "I hit you just now, why didn't you fight back?"

Isn't this nonsense?

Zhu Changxi grinned: "If I fight back, you ......"

Gu Zizhong blushed with shame: "You still have a little conscience." ”

He didn't like to hear this: "I know that my father is troublesome to your family." But be straightforward, if you don't want to help, you can say it bluntly. I can thank you for your help, but I can't bear to look at me like that. ”

Only then did Gu Zizhong understand that Brother Zishan was still angry with her just now because of his pride.

She smacked him again: "If my parents don't want to help, why should they just say yes? I want to say I hate you! It's because you're ignorant and stupid. ”

Zhu Changxi stopped talking and turned his face to the side.

Looking at the dead branches and leaves outside the small curtain, Zhu Changxi smiled: "Zizhong, I understand what you mean." As long as I make meritorious service in the imperial court, my family and yours will be able to take a breath. Now that the situation in the imperial court has changed, both of us are not having a good time. I know that, but we didn't do it. As for you, vent all your anger on me and Brother Gu? Who did the two of us provoke?"

Gu Zizhong was stunned by his sudden roar.

He then grimaced and said, "What if the emperor doesn't give me the opportunity to go north this time? Even if I give it to me, what if I fail? Am I going to wipe my neck and apologize for myself?"

She was completely frozen.

After Zhu Changxi shouted, there was silence in the carriage for a long time.

Gu Zizhong also reflected on himself, only caring about the word "interests" on his lips, but forgetting the minimum respect for Brother Zishan.

The Gu family found a relationship and a way for him, all of which were voluntary by the Gu family.

Brother Shanzi still wants to rely on his own skills to get opportunities.

Brother Zishan's roar can be regarded as a roar that woke up Gu Zizhong.

In her previous life, she also adhered to the concept of profit maximization, but she forgot to have the least respect for her own people.

At this time, she felt that she was at a loss.

Zhu Changxi simply said: "This time, my father was given a shadow by Zhu Liuhong's kid, and our Zhu family will bear the 20,000 taels of silver, and I don't need your family's help." ”

Gu Zi was reluctant, grabbed him, and drilled straight into his arms.

Zhu Changxi's heart is not iron, and the moment Zizhong threw himself into his arms, his tears also fell.

"Although I am a military general, I still understand the most basic truth, and I am not a big boss. Zhu Changxi said hurriedly, "I don't know what's wrong, the Gu family forced me, and my father forced me." It seems that if I can't win this northern expedition, I must apologize for my sins with death. ”

Gu Zizhong shook his head: "No, no matter whether you win or not, you have to come back alive." ”

Zhu Changxi smiled: "Zizhong, you think so, you care about me." But I told you, I can't die anyway. ”

His arrogance was on the rise, and she couldn't persuade him.

After thinking about it, she had no choice but to say, "I believe in you." Our family's business is actually ...... I know that everyone in the family has put pressure on you, but don't forget, you are the eldest son of the Zhu family, and the Zhu family will be inherited by you in the future. Now that our family's status is not guaranteed, this responsibility is not passed on to you, who else can it be pushed to?"

Zhu Changxi said disdainfully: "Reason with me, this is okay." I understand the responsibility on my shoulders. I know what I'm supposed to do. But you will use whatever relationship and interest to pressure me, and I don't want to. ”

In the end, it's still a temperament.

The integrity of their generals' mouths?

Gu Zizhong didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

Anyway, that's the way it is, and as for the battle of tongues, there is no need.

She began to show favor to Brother Zishan.

She began to stammer.

Zhu Changxi doesn't need her to stutter, as long as she treats him well and is plain, it's enough.

The depression in the carriage turned into warmth.

Zhu Changxi sighed: "I understand, this time my father-in-law and mother-in-law are worried about me Zhu Changxi. I, Zhu Changxi, am not a person who does not repay my kindness, and I will work with Brother Gu to revitalize our two families in the future. Who in the court would dare to look down on us? We can make them submit. ”
