Chapter 68: Changing Lives (Including Pink 420 Plus Update)
Compared with the bleak Wang family and the huge debts, the Jiang family was made a hereditary marquis by Emperor Qianyuan, so it was natural to have a large banquet and invite guests, and the Jiang family was very lively.
Within a few days, the happy event of the Jiang family's knighthood suppressed the voices of the people in the capital about the Jiang family's separation of property.
The Jiang family closed the door, but Jiang Dayong often led Wang Zhiyao to meet guests, and praised his baby Niu Niu from head to toe, and no one in Jiang Dayong's mouth could compare with Xiao Niu Niu.
Sometimes, Jiang Dayong's words made Wang Zhiyao blush when she heard it.
She also knew her grandfather's thoughts, and she was afraid that she would be affected by Jiang's separation.
What's more, the Wang family has been robbed, and Wang Yixin has also been demoted and has a bad reputation, if Wang Zhiyao no longer has a thing to take care of and protect her grandfather, she may be picked and chosen when she gets married in the future.
In Jiang Dayong's opinion, Xiao Niu Niu is really not suitable for marrying into Jiangmen, first, the people Jiang Dayong knows are too vulgar, and second, ...... As a general, life and death are unpredictable, and Jiang Dayong is worried that Wang Zhiyao will be the widow at the least.
Therefore, Jiang Dayong took the opportunity of this banquet to give up his old face to all the famous nobles in the capital, and the noble family sent invitations.
In the past, he was not willing to deal with the group of children of the Wenchen Wang clan who disliked his low background, but now, for the sake of the little girl, Jiang Dayong is willing to do anything, not to mention that Lord Liu, the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, has also helped him, and the civil officials are not all sour.
Although the hereditary earl and the hereditary marquis are only one level apart, but the treatment is far from the same, after the dispute between the Jiang family and the Wang family, others once again see that Jiang Dayong is one of the most trusted courtiers of Emperor Qianyuan.
The important ministers and nobles are also willing to give Jiang Dayong a face.
Yan Shenggong, who had been living in purity, came with his wife in person, so that the civil officials who were hesitant made up their minds. The banquet in Xining Houfu must be visited.
On the day of the banquet in Xining Houfu. Plenty of guests. In addition to Yan Shenggong, the capital commander Gu Tianze personally visited, which silenced the originally lively atmosphere for a while......
The relationship between Jiang Dayong and Gu Tianze is only very close.
Gu Sanshao is a person who can't even have guests at the banquet in the Dingguo Mansion.
"Say, 'What is he doing here?' Wang Zhiyao spit out her bitterness to her best friend Miss Kong Si, "As soon as he came, everyone looked at him." ”
Who remembers that the owner is a grandfather?
Wang Zhiyao guessed that Gu Sanshao was here to 'collect debts'.
There was a faint rumor of the meeting in the imperial study, and Wang Zhiyao never expected that the prince would be involved in this lawsuit.
Last time, she helped Gu Tianze repair the pocket watch, which was obviously not enough to compensate for the help Gu Tianze provided to the Jiang family. She originally planned to pretend to be deaf and dumb, who would have expected that Gu Tianze would come to Jiang's house in person.
Kong Si pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes seemed to be a little joking, and pinched Wang Zhiyao's cheeks beside him, soft, jade and clear skin was better than his own, and he didn't know what kind of fat powder Wang Zhiyao used, although his appearance was not as exquisite as his own, but there was no one in the 10,000 people with ice muscle and snow skin.
"Pretend, will you pretend to me again?" Kong Si warned Wang Zhiyao in a low voice. "Others don't know, I don't know who Gu Sanshao is here for?"
“……”
Wang Zhiyao's eyes flashed with shyness. "Did you misunderstand?"
"Hou Ye Jiang has always surrounded his grandfather recently, I heard that they used to joke when they were drunk......" Kong Si looked at Wang Zhiyao who was a little anxious with interest, "My brother said that he has a discord with you, and he has been talking to my grandfather for a long time, what about me...... I secretly asked my brother, and I was grinding for several days, and my brother said that you knew the commander of the capital. ”
"It's just an acquaintance."
"Gu Sanshao doesn't lie to anyone, knowing you means treating you differently."
Although Kong Si was a little regretful, he also knew that although his brother was one of the two heroes in the capital, he couldn't compare with Gu Sanshao.
He was right not to intervene between Gu Sanshao and Wang Zhiyao, Miss Kong Si only hoped that Wang Zhiyao could live well.
After hearing about the affairs of the Wang family, Miss Kong Si had pity and pity for Wang Zhiyao, and also had a trace of admiration, such as grandmother said, Wang Qi's sister is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she is a person with big ideas.
Wang Zhiyao took her hand and said softly, "Don't say that, what is my identity?" What is his identity? In this life, I just know each other. ”
This is also one of the reasons why she is worried about Wang Zhiyao, Gu Tianze's wife is not only what he likes, but more importantly, Emperor Qianyuan is satisfied.
Wang Zhiyao's temperament and appearance are not bad, if the surname is Jiang, it is still possible, but the surname is Wang ...... How can Wang Siye's official position be qualified to be Gu Sanshao's father-in-law?
"Wang Qi's sister ......"
"I'm just a general acquaintance with him." Wang Zhiyao smiled faintly.
Miss Kong Si sighed silently, and complained a little more to Gu Tianze, if Gu Tianze couldn't marry Wang Qi's sister, why should he provoke Wang Qi's sister? made his brother stay away, and his grandfather also made it clear to Marquis Jiang that the two families could not do a family thing, even if Wang Zhiyao was a good person, it would not be possible.
Grandfather said that although the Kong family is the Holy Father of Yan and the holy land in the hearts of the people of the world, the Kong family relies on Emperor Qianyuan today, and the Kong family is never suitable to marry a woman who has a relationship with Gu Sanshao.
Yan Shenggong is more careful and careful than anyone else in treating the inheritance of the Confucian family.
This is also the reason why the Confucian family can stand tall no matter which dynasty or generation it is in, and it will never be arrogant that it is the descendants of the Confucian saints, and they want to compete with the emperor.
"We don't talk about him."
She took the initiative to talk to Wang Zhiyao about interesting gossip in the capital, and the more they hid aside, the more lively they became, they were both cheerful and gossip-loving people.
Miss Kong Si had the intention to make Wang Zhiyao happy, and asked her to let go of Wang Siye and Gu Sanshao, and the gossip was very interesting, and she even wanted to pull Wang Zhiyao into the camp of worshipping Tiansuan.
Miss Kong Si is a stunning and elegant beauty, born and tall, and has been noticed by the wife, although Wang Zhiyao is not as good as Kong Si, but her temperament is excellent, and she will not become a foil when she is with Kong Si.
The two of them are young and more tender than flowers, which naturally attracts the ideas of many wives.
At the hairpin party, Liu Sanben took Wang Zhiyao's gem flower, which made her famous for a while, and then Liu Sanben didn't say a word about it. only said that he was moved by Wang Zhiyao's piano sound. There is no news in the palace that Wang Zhiyao will be a prince. Liu Sanben has always liked to touch the qin, and he is upright and unreasonable, even if the prince is intentional, he will not order Liu Sanben not to move.
Therefore, Wang Zhiyao was regarded as a master of Fuqin, and moved Liu Sanben with her artistic conception.
Although she was born in the Wang family, fortunately, she is Xininghou's favorite granddaughter, and the wives think about their sons who have reached marriageable age, the son of the sect or the son of the heir. Wang Zhiyao is not worthy, but the young son can look at her.
The housewife has a certain range of considerations for the marriage of her children, and they have already made up their minds about what kind of identity they are matching.
……
Gu Tianze sat alone at a wine table, the food on the table was sumptuous, and the wine was fragrant, but he was really the only one at the entire long table, and no matter how crowded the wine table next to him was, no one would sit at this table.
He seemed to be used to it, and poured himself a drink from his glass. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Occasionally raised his eyes to look at the female guest, through the hazy screen. He could see where Wang Zhiyao was sitting...... The person next to her was Miss Kong, Gu Tianze squeezed the wine glass, it was too much of an obstacle, too much of an eyesore.
He didn't have much chance to see Wang Zhiyao, so he finally waited for the Jiang family to have a banquet, and the male and female guests gathered, and no one would care too much about him, but Wang Zhiyao only remembered to accompany Miss Kong.
This wine is terrible.
Gu Tianze raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, his eyes narrowed, swept over the eldest master Kong who was not far away, pursed his lips, and the young master Kong, who was chatting with his friends, was cold behind him, and quietly glanced at Gu Sanshao, seeing that he got up and went to the direction of the martial arts arena opened by the Jiang family, the eldest prince of Kong was busy asking the little girl to go and deliver a message to his sister.
"My brother is looking for me?"
"Yes, the young master has something important to look for you, so let you go quickly."
"Fourth Sister Kong, let's go, we'll talk later."
"Okay."
Kong Si believed it was true, got up and left with the servants.
Wang Zhiyao glanced in the direction of the male guest, got up like a ghost, and quietly slipped away from the banquet hall.
The Jiang family is not as good as the Wang family, even if it is a rough one, there are more than 20 tables in the hall, and the guests can sit casually...... The men and women are separated by a single screen.
If you dislike that the hall is not bright and want to breathe, the Jiang family's mansion is open to guests, and you can go wherever you want to wander.
However, because the Jiang family's garden is general, the vegetables and fruits in the backyard have long been put away, the garden is covered with ice and snow, and there is nothing, naturally no one goes to the Jiang family's backyard on a cold day, and Wenchen is not very interested in places such as martial arts arenas, but fortunately, the Jiang family has opened enough living rooms, and Wenchen will not have nowhere to go.
As for the generals who came to the Jiang family to congratulate him, they had already dragged the Jiang family and started to fight wine.
Therefore, except for Gu Sanshao and Wang Zhiyao, who was sent by the ghost, there was no one in the martial arts training arena at all.
On the shelf next to the martial arts training ground, there were eighteen kinds of weapons, Gu Sanshao casually lifted a pair of copper hammers and weighed them, and said secretly, the Jiang family is indeed a strange force......
There was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, someone stepped on the snow and made a creaking sound, Gu Tianze turned his head and hooked the corners of his mouth, "I guess you will come." ”
His confident and smug look is dazzling, but he is also very weak.
Wang Zhiyao snorted coldly and turned to leave, "It turns out that my cousin is not ......"
Gu Tianze put down the hammer in his hand, leaned on the wooden stake erected next to him, and said slowly: "Your brother hasn't apprenticed yet." ”
"Yo." Wang Zhixuan immediately turned around, her face was full of flattery, and she stammered with a smirk, "Gu Sanshao is good, have you eaten?" Drunk? What do you want to use? I'll get it for you. ”
"Come back, you're back." Gu Tianze was extremely depressed, there were too many hypocritical smiles on the faces of others, he reached out and grabbed Wang Zhiyao's arm, and asked in a low voice, "Did you do it on purpose?" ”
Deliberately depressed him, deliberately angry with him.
Sure enough, there is no time when I get along with her.
He had never been angry in front of anyone, Gu Tianze wondered, was he only angry with her in his life?
God is really fair, and sent down a Wang Zhiyao to let Gu Tianze, who has always been smooth and smooth, know what depression is, what chest tightness is, and what is ...... Can't put it down.
His palm held her arm tightly, Wang Zhiyao looked back, the handsome young man in front of him closed his eyelids slightly, the black hair on the back of his head swayed in the wind, on the trees, on the roof of the house there were clusters of flying snow, and the sun hanging in the sky seemed to be warmer because of him, Wang Zhiyao pursed her lips and asked, "Angry?" ”
"Hmm."
"Then don't be angry."
"Hmm."
Wang Zhiyao turned her body completely and faced Gu Tianze face to face. I wanted to say something apologetic or grateful. Because he closed his eyes slightly, he couldn't speak...... What's it for?
Lift your feet. Wang Zhiyao stomped on Gu Tianze's feet fiercely, "Let you pretend?" ”
"You ......" Gu Tianze's feet hurt, and there was a trace of helplessness on Jun's face, in fact, when she raised her feet, he had already felt it.
Gu Tianze is excellent both internally and externally, how can Wang Zhiyao's fist and foot kung fu be his opponent?
Although he closed his eyes slightly, he could see her every move clearly, although her deliberate smirk made Gu Tianze very uncomfortable. However, he was even more worried that Wang Zhiyao was really angry and became no different from others.
Therefore, he watched Wang Zhiyao raise his feet, but he thought in his heart whether he would hide or not?
If she dodges, she will get angry, if she doesn't hide, and her face will be a little difficult to lose...... Sensing the smile on Wang Zhiyao's lips, Gu Tianze insisted on kicking her, or don't hide...... Fang just said not very well.
"It hurts, it hurts."
Wang Zhiyao seemed to be deliberate. The clever and eccentric jumped around on one foot and said angrily, "It hurts." You've gotten to my feet. ”
“……”
Gu Tianze was a little aggrieved, and he slapped her in vain, and the person in front of him didn't have any consciousness at all.
Wang Zhiyao turned around and stood beside him, tilting her head to look at his side face, Gu Sanshao was very handsome even if he had a side face, "Don't be angry, I'm ...... I'm not angry. ”
"What are you angry about?" Gu Tianze asked sullenly, "Isn't the Wang family all robbed?" ”
What are you angry about? Wang Zhiyao smiled dumbly, she listened to Miss Kong Si's words, and this incident touched her a lot.
She witnessed with her own eyes how much Emperor Qianyuan loved and trusted Gu Sanshao, and also saw Gu Sanshao's influence in the government and the opposition.
Gu Tianze is the proud son of the dynasty, and she is just a young lady from an ordinary official family whose parents separated from each other.
If she didn't have a grandfather, I was afraid that others would think that she would lower Gu Sanshao's style if she stood with Gu Sanshao.
"Do you like purple blue?"
"......" Gu Tianze's face was slightly red, and his expression was slightly embarrassed, "Do you know what to do?" ”
"No one but you was paying attention to me at the time." Wang Zhiyao's eyes flashed with a little gratitude, "Actually, I should say thank you Xie Lu." ”
Only Gu Sanshao saw his embarrassment and sentimentality at that time, Jiang Shi only felt angry at that time, and how could Wang Yixin have himself in his eyes?
The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward, and Gu Tianze wanted to raise his hand to brush away the gloom between Wang Zhiyao's eyebrows...... When his finger was about to touch her eyebrows, he was stared at by her clear, grateful eyes...... Gu Tianze picked up the sword on the weapon rack behind him, "This sword is good." ”
"Do you like to listen to the piano?"
"It's fine."
Gu Tianze's heart moved, the words he didn't like changed when he didn't like it, and after listening to Liu Sanben's strokes of the qin, the ordinary sound of the piano couldn't move him at all.
"I wonder if anyone will pass by here?" Wang Zhiyao looked around, although there were very few people in the martial arts training ground, what if someone passed by and saw them together?
Wang Zhiyao only regarded Gu Tianze as a friend who lived in the rich and noble world, and could only meet occasionally before he got married.
"No one will pass by." Gu Tianze said very reasonably, and pointed to the martial arts training ground under his feet, "I don't want to see anyone but you." ”
"This is the Marquis Mansion of Xining."
Wang Zhiyao's pride in Gu Tianze was both admiration and itching, and she didn't know which guards were standing at the door of the martial arts training ground.
"I know it."
"......" When Wang Zhiyao heard this, she didn't know what to say, thinking that Fang was in the living room, Gu Tianze was also alone, "Don't you feel lonely?" ”
Gu Tianze shook his head blankly: "Lonely? Never. ”
It seems that he has been so 'different' since he was a child.
"Do you have a friend or a playmate?"
"There's one." The corners of Gu Tianze's mouth were slightly hooked, and the smile in his eyes became a little thicker, "Next time he comes to the capital, I'll take you to see him." ”
The person who can be regarded by Gu Tianze as a friend of life and death should also be a dragon among people.
Only to hear Gu Tianze's deep voice penetrate her ears, "When the time comes, you have to put away the ghost thoughts, he only needs to see what you are thinking." ”
"So powerful?" Wang Zhiyao was unhappy, and said angrily: "Who do you say has ghost thoughts?" ”
"Speaking of you, you still have a lot of ghost thoughts."
"Gu Sanshao ......"
Wang Zhiyao glared at him. "Give me back the purple blue!"
Gu Tianze stroked the dark lines on his cuffs. "Why did you pay it back? Liu Sanben gave it to me. It's already me. ”
Wang Zhiyao turned around and left, and Gu Tianze shouted behind him: "What are you going to do?" ”
"Take the piano."
"You ......"
Wang Zhiyao looked back at Gu Tianze and smiled, "I'll give you a tune, so that Gu Sanshao will know if my piano sound is worthy of letting Lord Liu take away Zijuan Blue." ”
Send tunes?
Gu Tianze wanted to say that he was not very good at piano scores, and what Emperor Qianyuan didn't know, he couldn't either.
After a while, Wang Zhiyao came back with the nine-tailed qin and pointed at Gu Tianze. "Take it off."
Gu Tianze thought about it and unbuttoned the jewel button, Wang Zhiyao was a little thin, and threw Da Chao to her.
Wang Zhiyao spread his clothes on the ground, she sat down by herself, put the nine-tailed piano on her lap, tried the syllables, raised her eyebrows and asked, "You have to make sure that no one can break in." ”
Gu Tianze saw her seriousness, and at the same time knew that it was not suitable for Emperor Qianyuan to know about this matter, so he put his finger to his lips, and a sharp whistle sounded. In an instant, whistles came from all sides in response, and Gu Tianze said, "No matter how ugly you play." No one will hear it. ”
"I'll trust you for once." Wang Zhiyao didn't raise the bar with Gu Tianze everywhere like before, the time they spent together like this was getting shorter and shorter, and Wang Zhiyao didn't want to waste her efforts on arguing and bickering.
The passionate sound of the piano rang out, Wang Zhiyao played the Taiping tune when she stroked the piano last time, and this time, she used the general's breaking song.
This piece is not easy to play, especially for women, because the rapid plucking of the strings requires a lot of finger strength, and if you don't prepare enough, the tendons and veins of your fingers will be damaged after a song.
When he saw Gu Tianze holding the sword, Wang Zhiyao had the idea of giving the general's broken formation song to Gu Sanshao.
Gu Tianze is not a rich and noble son who was kept in captivity by Emperor Qianyuan's side, his mission, his ambition is on the battlefield.
Maybe one day, he will return to heaven because of a big victory, Wang Zhiyao doesn't know why she has such an idea, she just thinks so.
Gu Tianze listened to the music, couldn't hold back the tumbling blood, and the general broke the formation...... He hadn't heard of it for a long time, even though Liu Sanben had superb skills, he couldn't play this taste and momentum, and he was indomitable and famous in history.
He drew his sword, and danced to the music like a dragon rolling in the clouds.
It's not a sword dance, but a real swordsmanship, a sword technique that doesn't leave a thousand miles to rob people's lives, and the places where the cold light flashes will inevitably bring up human heads.
His sword and her harp, together and against each other, they were like a match made in heaven.
……
Liu Sanben occasionally heard the sound of the piano, so he stood up and walked out of the attic quickly, stopped to listen, his strange appearance also made the people around him stop talking, which master is this who is stroking the qin?
The general broke the formation, and someone in the dynasty could make such an imposing piano sound?
If it weren't for Gu Tianze driving with sword qi, Wang Zhiyao would not have been able to persevere, and it was because of him that this piece was complete.
The sound of the piano gradually faded, Gu Tianze accepted the sword move, the two looked at each other and smiled, Wang Zhiyao said: "May the general get what he wants and be invincible." ”
"Did you know that Lu Dao said that I would die on the battlefield......"
"Ahh Wang Zhiyao sighed in her heart, "Who?" Who said you would die in battle? Isn't that cursing you? ”
Gu Tianze returned his sword and said with a smile: "He didn't curse me, in order to help me change my life against the sky, he gave up all his enjoyment and practiced meditation in the mountains and forests to realize the heavenly machine, he would rather pay the price of his life...... It's a pity that he doesn't understand, I'm not afraid of dying on the battlefield. ”
"I like your piano sound, the purple cuckoo blue is mine."
Gu Tianze took a deep breath and strode towards the outside of the martial arts training ground.
"Hey, hey."
"Are you okay?"
"I don't want you to die." Wang Zhiyao's voice was very light and light, and her fingers trembled slightly after stroking the qin, "I don't want you to die in battle......
"I remember."
Gu Tianze stopped slightly.
After Gu Tianze left, Wang Zhiyao also left the martial arts training ground quickly and quietly, with Gu Tianze attracting everyone's attention in front and outside, no one would regard her as the object of suspicion.
Even Liu Sanben didn't go into the martial arts training ground, after seeing Gu Tianze, Liu Sanben took the initiative to step forward, and he didn't ask clearly, he was as uncomfortable as scratching his heart with a hundred claws, "Master Gu, who is the person who stroked the piano just now?" ”
"Fuqin? I didn't hear it. ”
"As long as Master Gu tells me, I am willing to help you again in the future......"
"I didn't hear you."
“……”
Liu Sanben didn't dare to force Gu Tianze at all, his beard trembled in a hurry, who is it? Who is it?
He still can't ask, and it is impossible for people who are concerned about this matter to get an answer, just who is a famous lady who came to the Jiang family, or a certain male friend of Gu Sanshao.
"Seventh Sister Wang, do you know who?"
"I don't know."
Wang Zhiyao didn't dare to take the wine glass and other things, her fingers were still trembling, and she couldn't pick it up at all.
Kong Si sighed, although she was suspicious of Wang Zhiyao, but she didn't believe that Wang Zhiyao could perform a complete and far-reaching divine comedy.
……
Outside the Hou Gate of Xining, a carriage slowly passed by the rich and lively Hou Mansion, and there was only one person sitting in the carriage, and the thin man who had been tired of copying books all day slowly closed his eyes, "Go home." ”
"Yes, Fourth Master."
P.S. Continue to ask for pink. (To be continued......)
