Wanfu was clever, and hurriedly ran to open the door, and within a moment, he heard him shouting: "Uncle, grandma, there is a distant guest from home." ”

Shen Zhuo and Gu Sanniang glanced at each other, and they didn't know who the guest was, she got up and walked outside the house, and saw a woman in a plain robe holding the maid's hand and came in, the woman just saw Gu Sanniang, and shouted tremblingly: "Third sister." ”

Gu Sanniang fixed her eyes, but the woman who came was her second sister, and the tears she had just stopped began to flow down again.

In that year, Xue Yongzhou, the assassin of Tongcheng, stood on the side of the prince under the persuasion of Shen Zhuo, and stayed until the prince ascended the treasure, Xue Yongzhou was rewarded for his merits, and soon, he rushed to the new post with his family, but within half a year, Xue Yongzhou died of illness, Gu Erniang did not give birth to a son, and the Jiang family was married, and the mother of the Xue family did not treat her harshly.

A few days ago, she unexpectedly learned that her sister was not dead, so she discussed with the head of the Xue family, saying that she wanted to visit her sister, and the Xue family also had an ancestral business in Tongcheng, although the widowed woman was not good at walking around at will, but Gu Erniang had always been responsible, and the head of the Xue family nodded and agreed.

The two sisters parted from life and death, and when they finally saw each other, they couldn't help but cry, Shen Zhuo on the side took care of Gu Sanniang's body and persuaded: "Sanniang, it's windy outside, it's better to go into the house and sit down and talk with the second sister." ”

Gu Erniang remembered that her sister was not well, so she quickly wiped her tears and entered the house with Gu Sanniang.

Just because the Gu sisters got together, Shen Zhuo, a big man, couldn't stay in the room, so he led the royal brother to move to the study, leaving only the two of them in the room to say something considerate.

In this room, Gu Sanniang and Gu Erniang sat on the kang, the sisters held hands, looked at each other, and burst into tears. ”

Xiao Yezi had already brought hot water, Gu Erniang saw her, reached out to hug her, and turned her head to Gu Sanniang and said: "I saw this girl in Tongcheng five years ago, she only reached my shoulders, and now she is taller than me." ”

Xiao Yezi twisted a handkerchief and gave Gu Erniang a clean face, and said: "Auntie, I was not good at that time, I overheard you talking to Mama, and ran to tell my mother, you have a lot of adults, don't be angry with me." ”

Speaking of the past, Gu Erniang felt a little embarrassed in her heart, she said: "How can my aunt be angry with you, your mother is a stubborn person, even if you don't report it, no matter where I lock her up, she can think of a way to escape." ”

Gu Sanniang smiled embarrassedly, and called Brother Yu and Brother Hu to kowtow to her second sister, Xiao Yezi and Brother Yu had seen each other before, only Brother Hu was the first time to meet, and he was born like a ball again, Gu Erniang fell in love when she saw it, and asked the maid to give a meeting gift, and held it in her arms for a long time.

After talking for a long time, Gu Sanniang saw that her sister was carrying the maid and wife who was serving, and the cage box and baggage were also carried, so she said, "Second sister, have you ever had a place to settle down?" Or just live in my house, where there are a few empty rooms that can accommodate all the servants and servants of my family. ”

Gu Erniang shook her head, she said: "There is a brother-in-law, it is not convenient for me to live here, don't worry, before I came, the family had sent someone to find a yard in the town, not far from your house, just a few steps away, I just arrived, I wanted to see you earlier, so I didn't have time to go back to settle down." ”

Gu Sanniang heard that she had a place to live, so she didn't persuade much, then Gu Erniang asked the servants to send the luggage and other things home, and only asked the personal grandmother to stay and serve, and after a while, Aunt Qin and Zhu Xiaoyue heard that the children had arrived, and there were guests in her house again, so they came over to help cook.

Shen Zhuo saw so many people in the family, and thought about buying two people, before there were only him and Gu Sanniang, and he was the one who took care of the daily life, but now that the children are back, asking a mother-in-law to take care of them can save a lot of things.

Who knew that the meal was not ready, Wanfu talked back again, and he said, "Grandma, there are guests again." ”

"It's such a coincidence, it happened to be a day." Gu Sanniang laughed, and she asked again: "Who is here, who is looking for it?" ”

Wan Fu replied: "There are two people here, one is the Dongfang Marquis in the capital, and the other doesn't know each other. ”

Gu Sanniang knew that Dongfang Jian was Shen Zhuo's friend, so she asked him to go and invite Shen Zhuo to meet the guests, at this time, Shen Zhuo in the study had already come out, he asked Wanfu a few words, and then came to the front yard with him.

He walked to the door, and immediately saw Dongfang Jian, and when he saw only the person standing next to him, Shen Zhuo couldn't help but be a little surprised, the person who came here turned out to be the current emperor Zhao Jin.

Shen Zhuo just looked at their clothes, and guessed that they were visiting in micro-clothes, so he arched his hand towards them and said, "When you come to the distinguished guest, you will not be welcomed." ”

Dongfang Jian and he have been old friends for many years, he stepped forward and patted Shen Zhuo's shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "Quickly put away these false gifts, this is very different from you!" ”

Shen Zhuo lifted his eyelids and looked at him, Dongfang Jian put away his laughter, touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "I went out with Zhao Gongzi to play, and after passing through Lixian, I came to see you." ”

Shen Zhuo didn't say anything, but said to the emperor: "Zhao Gongzi, please inside." ”

The emperor bowed slightly, as Shen Zhuo walked into the house, as soon as he walked into the door, he looked around from time to time, and when he walked inside, Gu Sanniang happened to take the children to greet him in the courtyard, when she saw the emperor, she couldn't help but be surprised, when she was in the capital, the emperor was still the prince, she had several relationships with him, he was the king of a country, and the capital and Lixian were far apart, this time he came here, I am afraid he made a special trip to find Shen Zhuo.

Gu Sanniang quickly came back to her senses, she didn't say much, she only gave them a blessing, the emperor also nodded, but Dongfang Zhen, he returned Gu Sanniang's salute, and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you feeling better?" ”

"TOEFL, I've recovered a lot over the years." After saying this, Gu Sanniang glanced at Shen Zhuo again, and Shen Zhuo led the emperor and Dongfang Jian into the study to avoid the ladies in the house.

In order not to bluff the second sister in the house, Gu Sanniang did not reveal the identity of the emperor, and casually said that it was a distinguished guest from Beijing, so how could Gu Erniang think that she would be in the same room as the current emperor, and only talked to Gu Sanniang about the past few years.

Speaking of Shen Zhuo's side, after the emperor walked into the study, he casually picked up a Zhuangzi that Shen Zhuo pressed on the table and turned a few pages, and he smiled: "You actually look at Lao Zhuang." ”

Shen Zhuo smiled back, and he said, "I have nothing to do, just look at it at will." ”

As he spoke, Wan Fu brought hot tea, and as soon as Shen Zhuo invited them to sit down, Dongfang Jian took the lead in speaking, and he asked: "I see that my sister-in-law is fine, when do you plan to return to Beijing?" ”

Shen Zhuo replied lightly: "I'm not going to go back." ”

The emperor, who was sitting in the east, raised his eyebrows, he put down the tea bowl in his hand, looked directly at Shen Zhuo, and his tone was undoubtedly domineering, and he said, "You know that I will not agree." ”

After a pause, the emperor said again: "Back then, I understood that you and your wife had a deep relationship, but I didn't force you, and now your wife's body has healed, is it possible that you really want to spend your life in this remote countryside?" ”

Shen Zhuo said to the emperor: "Thank you for the love of the saint, there are things that can be done in life, and there are things that cannot be done, and the grass people have no regrets about their choices." ”

When the emperor heard this, his face sank, and he said: "The eldest husband should do things, you should achieve a career, you have all the talents, just because the love of children is long, you have to bury yourself in vain, this is what you think can be done?" ”

Shen Zhuo was silent, his face was calm, obviously he had made up his mind, Dongfang Jian saw that the atmosphere was stiff, and hurriedly persuaded Shen Zhuo: "Whether it is in the capital or in Lixian, it will not prevent you from staying with your sister-in-law, why should you stick to the form, the emperor has a heart of love, you must not live up to his heart." ”

Shen Zhuo shook his head, this market is a better destination for Gu Sanniang, he couldn't bear to let her go to live an uncomfortable life, he almost lost her that day, and it was through this incident that Shen Zhuo repented, what he sought was never fame and fortune.

The emperor stared at him and asked: "The world loves to covet comfort, which is understandable, but you have to ask your heart, are you really willing to do nothing in this life?" ”

Shen Zhuo stood up, he gave a salute to the emperor unhurriedly, and said, "Please also ask the Holy Lord to fulfill it?" ”

The emperor's face was slightly annoyed, he personally came to invite Shen Zhuo to return to Beijing, but he still didn't get in the oil and salt, did he really think that he had no one to use? Dongfang Jian next to him was secretly anxious, the emperor was no longer the prince of the year, Shen Zhuo fell into his face again and again, if he was stiff, it would not be beautiful.

Fortunately, Shen Zhuo was not the one who didn't know how to look at him, his tone slowed down, and he said: "The saint is wise and respectful, there are many pavilion elders in the court, and there are several generals guarding the door, Haiyan Heqing is just around the corner, if there is a day in the future, the emperor will have a place for the grass people, and the grass people will not shirk." ”

Hearing what he said, the emperor's expression softened slightly, and he said: "That's it, if I continue to force it, I will have a reputation that is difficult for a strong man." ”

After saying this, the emperor got up and was about to go out, and Shen Zhuo said: "The saint has come all the way, and the insider has prepared a thin wine, chatting about the hearts of the grass people, and asking the saint to appreciate his face." ”

The emperor was angry in his heart, where was he willing to stay here, he said: "Save, I can't afford to eat your wine." ”

Shen Zhuo was originally polite, the emperor didn't stay, Shen Zhuo didn't say much, he personally sent them out of the gate, the emperor turned over on the horse, looked at Shen Zhuo condescendingly, and said: "As long as you figure it out, there will always be a place for you in my cabinet." ”

After speaking, he raised his horsewhip and led everyone to gallop away, Shen Zhuo stood silently for a long time, until he turned around and saw Gu Sanniang standing at the door.

Shen Zhuo's heart warmed, he walked up to her, shook her hand, and said, "Why did you come out?" ”

Since the emperor came, Gu Sanniang has been nervous, just now she heard that they were gone, she came out to look for Shen Zhuo, Gu Sanniang asked, "They are here to invite you back to Beijing?" ”

Shen Zhuo held her hand, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "He wants me to go back, but he doesn't want me to go back." ”

Gu Sanniang was puzzled at first, and then thought of the Jiang family in Beijing, and vaguely understood in her heart, Jiang Zhenyan was in charge of the army, if the emperor reused Shen Zhuo, I was afraid that there would be another Jiang Zhongming, but he was reluctant to give up Shen Zhuo's talent, so he must be hesitant.

The two stood for a long time, Shen Zhuo heard the laughter of children in the house, he couldn't help but know gently, turned around and closed the door, and said, "Let's go, the children are still waiting for us." ”

Gu Sanniang nodded, and she and Shen Zhuo joined hands and walked into the house together. 166 Reading Network
