Gu Sanniang followed behind Shen Zhuo gloomily, Shen Zhuo was her husband, this was a matter between him and the Jiang family, even if she couldn't figure it out, she would listen to Shen Zhuo's decision.

When Gu Sanniang was deep in thought, Shen Zhuo did not return to the East Courtyard, but walked towards the main courtyard. ”

Shen Zhuo, who was walking in front, stopped, he looked back at Gu Sanniang, and said, "Aren't you going to see him, why don't you go quickly?" ”

Gu Sanniang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she knew that Shen Zhuo was a soft-hearted person, Shen Zhuo saw Gu Sanniang looking at her earnestly, and said slowly: "I went to see him because you wanted me to go, so I would go." ”

Gu Sanniang lowered her head and smiled, she didn't believe Shen Zhuo's words, but no matter what the reason, Shen Zhuo still gave in, Gu Sanniang smiled, she said, "Let's go." ”

The two came to the main courtyard with the child, at this time the courtyard was quiet, and none of the servants who were waiting were gone, only the housekeeper lady Youwang was guarding the door, she saw Shen Zhuo and Gu Sanniang coming together, the surprise on her face flashed, and then she saluted them, and shouted in her mouth: "Uncle, grandmother." ”

Shen Zhuoli stood at the door without saying a word, Gu Sanniang glanced at him, and asked Youwang's family: "How is the master?" ”

Youwang rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief, she said: "It's rested, but the spirit is very poor, Jin Sanye and the second grandmother and the third grandmother are all serving in the house, I went quietly to invite the reliable Langzhong, I'm afraid it will be a little younger to come back." ”

Gu Sanniang couldn't figure out why she had to hide her illness, but Jiang Chengxiang did it, and there must be a reason for him, so Gu Sanniang didn't talk much, so in order to prevent the two children from arguing with Jiang Zhongming, she sent them to play outside, and went to the house with Shen Zhuo.

At this time, the Sun family and Princess Jichang were guarding the outer room, and a few whispers came from the inner room, the Sun family was young, and there was no major event, she saw Jiang Zhongming vomiting blood with her own eyes, thinking that she was bluffed, and her eyes were red from crying, when she saw Gu Sanniang coming in, the corners of her mouth were deflated, and tears flowed down, but she soon wanted Jiang Zhongming, who was still resting in the house, so she held back.

"What the hell happened, how could the old man vomit blood?" Gu Sanniang asked in a low voice.

Princess Jichang replied: "The elder entourage next to the lord said, early this morning, the saint summoned the lord, he and the two of them talked for a long time, the lord came out of the palace, at that time the long entourage did not see what was wrong with the lord, until the lord specially ordered the sedan chair to be carried to the second door, although the people who were waiting at the bottom were puzzled, they had to obey the order, how to know that the sedan chair just landed, the lord began to vomit blood, the entourage was bluffed, and the sound of the voice called people to ask the doctor, but the lord drank to stop. ”

After listening to the cause and effect, Gu Sanniang subconsciously clenched her handkerchief, she raised her eyes to look at Shen Zhuo, only to see that his face was expressionless, and she couldn't tell what he was thinking at all.

After a while, the curtain in the inner room was opened, and it was Jiang Jinyan who came out, he happened to collide with Shen Zhuo's sight, Jiang Jinyan was stunned, and then pursed the corners of his mouth and did not speak.

At this time, Jiang Zhongming's voice came from the house: "Is it Shen Zhuo here?" ”

His voice was slightly tired, not at all as calm and powerful as before, everyone in the room looked at Shen Zhuo together, Jiang Jinyan also looked at him, he turned his head towards the house and replied, "Dad, it's him." ”

"Let him in." Jiang Zhongming said.

Shen Zhuo entered the inner room, Gu Sanniang looked at his back, she stayed outside and did not follow up.

It didn't take long for Jiang Jinming to come out with the two little guys, only Jiang Zhongming and Shen Zhuo were left in the house, thinking of the grievances and grievances between the father and son in the house, Gu Sanniang's heart suddenly jumped, and a pair of ears pricked up to listen to the movement inside.

Agarwood was burning in the room, but Shen Zhuo still smelled a faint smell of blood, he stood quietly at the end of the bed, looking at Jiang Zhongming on the couch, Jiang Zhongming had already sat up, his back was straight, even if he was uncomfortable, he didn't want to show a trace of slackness.

Previously, when Jiang Zhongming tried the case in Dali Temple, he did not meet with Shen Zhuo, this is the first time in a few years that their father and son have met, the two are relatively speechless, I don't know how long it took, and finally Jiang Zhongming took the lead in speaking, he said: "You come back." ”

Shen Zhuo's face was full of ridicule, and he said: "Just because Jiang Zhenyan's military power was taken away, Jiang Jinyan's milk smell has not dried up, and there is no one who can be of great use in the side branches of the Jiang family, so in order to ensure the glory of the Jiang family for generations, even I, a rebel son who betrayed my ancestors and abandoned my ancestors, must be recognized?" ”

Jiang Zhongming did not deny it, his eyes were deep, he looked at Shen Zhuo and said: "I don't have much time left, if it weren't for that, how could I leave you in front of me." ”

He paused for a moment, changed his words, and said: "However, you'd better recognize the shape, the Jiang family has fallen, and the first person the emperor will not let go of is you, you are a thorn in his heart, and your cunzi always reminds him that the woman he loves is snatched from your hands." Are there any eggs under the nest? Do you think that you will be able to keep your wife and children by your own power alone? ”

Shen Zhuo's eyes narrowed, he stared at Jiang Zhongming's face, he didn't say anything for a long time, the room was silent, Jiang Zhongming raised his eyelids and looked at him, and said lightly: "I can afford to support Emperor Jingwen that day, and I have the ability to support a new emperor, and now it is not an insignificant An clan in front of me, but God is unwilling to give me more time." ”

When he said this, there was a hint of unwillingness in his tone, but there was resignation, Shen Zhuo, who was standing next to him, pursed his thin lips, he grabbed Jiang Zhongming's wrist and put it on his pulse, and after a while, he looked up at him with a little surprise.

Jiang Zhongming withdrew his hand, if it wasn't a last resort, he would never show weakness in front of Shen Zhuo, he said: "I need you to support the lintel of the Jiang family, the Jiang family protects your wife and children for you, and even protects your wife and son, this is a win-win situation, how to choose, you must have a plan in your heart." ”

Having said that it has come to this point, Jiang Zhongming does not need to say more, although there is a deep estrangement between him and Shen Zhuo, but he knows that he is a smart person, what is hatred, in the face of interests, these are not worth mentioning.

Shen Zhuo didn't speak anymore, and after a while, the housekeeper came back, and he said through the curtain: "Master, Li Langzhong is here." ”

Jiang Zhongming retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Please let him in." ”

Soon, the curtain was raised, and the housekeeper Youwang led a Lang Zhong into the inner room, Jiang Jinyan also followed, Shen Zhuo didn't stop long, he turned around and walked out.

Gu Sanniang outside was still waiting for him, she saw Shen Zhuo, greeted him and asked, "Is Prime Minister Jiang Cheng's body okay?" ”

Seeing Gu Sanniang's eyebrows slightly frowning, Shen Zhuo smiled at her lightly and replied, "It's okay, it's just overwork." ”

Gu Sanniang put her mind at ease, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again, "Then can we go?" ”

Shen Zhuo looked at her and said, "Let's live in Jiangfu for the time being, and after a while, I will take you and the children back to Lixian." ”

Gu Sanniang hesitated, she guessed that Jiang Zhongming must have said something to him, which made Shen Zhuo, who was originally leaving, stay, but no matter what the situation is, Gu Sanniang will marry a chicken and a dog, and she will follow Shen Zhuo closely from beginning to end.

Shen Zhuo and Gu Sanniang, who stayed in Jiang's mansion, still live in the East Courtyard, he doesn't leave the mansion every day, he usually just reads and paints, and lives a leisurely life, as if there has never been a conflict with the Jiang family.

However, for Gu Sanniang, she inexplicably had an intuition, this kind of peaceful day seemed to be an illusion, and the killing machine was lurking around them, even Princess Jichang was sensitive to a murderous aura, and she even took the initiative to come to Gu Sanniang for the first time, even if the two stayed together and there was nothing superfluous to talk about.

In the whole house, the most carefree is the Sun family, her biggest worry is just that Jiang Jinyan was sent back to Changyang City by the lord to pay homage to the ancestors, this go, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while, the young couple has been married for less than a year, or when the honey is blended with oil, I think I can't see Xianggong, Sun can't even eat my favorite snacks, fortunately, there are small leaves at home, the two pick flowers and read books and kick shuttlecocks, but they have become a pair of good playmates, as for Shen Yu, when Jiang Jinyan went to Changyang, he also took him with him, this is Jiang Zhongming's idea, Gu Sanniang saw that Shen Zhuo didn't speak, so she acquiesced.

During this period, Gu Erniang sent Gu Sanniang a letter back home, and came with it, as well as the thousand taels of silver she sent to Gu Sanniang, she heard that her brother-in-law turned out to be the son of Jiang Chengxiang, and heard Gu Sanniang say that they moved to Jiang Mansion, and at the same time she was very worried about her, their sister was born in a slight cold, the most important background of those high-ranking families, she is a concubine, but her sister is a serious wife, what if her sister is bullied in Jiang Mansion? How could she be far away in Tongcheng, even if she wanted to take care of each other, Gu Erniang, who felt sorry for her sister, had to give her sister the private money at the bottom of the box, so as not to let her worry about the money.

Gu Sanniang accepted her second sister's money and replied to her letter, she was afraid that her sister would be worried, so she only said something to report good news and not good news, and the population of Jiangfu was simple, she and Princess Jichang and the Sun family got along quite well, which was much better than the two concubines of the Zhang family before.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, Jiang Zhongming's illness is still spread out, some people say that he is seriously ill, I am afraid that he will die soon, and there is speculation that he has lost the trust of Emperor Jingwen, all kinds of rumors that are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood forced the emperor to go out of the customs in advance, taking advantage of Jiang Zhongming's absence, the excerpts of An's party complaint flew to the front of the emperor like snowflakes, but Emperor Jingwen stayed and did not send it, An Ruhai could not guess the emperor's intentions, and then thought of Emperor Jingwen summoning Jiang Zhongming a few days ago, his heart was inevitably uneasy, not two days later, Jiang Zhongming appeared in front of people in high spirits, and the rumors about his serious illness were self-defeating, and at this moment, Jiang Zhongming and several deputy assistants of the cabinet jointly signed a letter, proposing to recommend Shen Zhuo as the priest of the country.
