Chapter 21: The Heart Lock
The melodious sound of silk and bamboo is pleasant, and the bottom of the danqing tulle that hangs down from top to bottom rolls, and the breeze blows a pool of water.
The girl who played the extravagant sound looked at Lord Gu who was soaking in the hot spring...... His lower body was completely buried in the pool, revealing only the bronze chest of his upper body.
He closed his eyes at this time, and his handsome face hung a little relaxed.
Fruits, pears, peaches, wine, and snacks are placed in a place where he can raise his hand, just like wealth and beauty, and his power and status are at his disposal.
"Young Master......"
Ah Ermao walked behind Gu Tianze, who was bathing in the soup, and said softly, "Grandpa Guo asked someone to hand over the message." ”
"Huh?" Gu Sanshao's sword eyebrows twisted slightly.
The four attendants, from one to four, are responsible for his diet and daily life, and are his most trusted servants.
"Enough for you." Ah Er lowered his eyebrows and didn't dare to look at his master, "Grandpa Xu is afraid that His Majesty will ...... you."
Gu Sanshao's body slowly sank into the hot spring water, and the sparkling water sealed his facial features.
He knew from the memory that the palace was not his home, that the man who raised him was the emperor who ruled the dynasty alone, not his father, and he longed to see Dingguo Gong, to see his mother, and even more eager for them to take him back from the palace where he wanted anything.
When he was eight years old, he began to develop archery skills under hard practice, and Emperor Qianyuan asked him what reward he wanted, and he said, I want to go back to the Dingguo Mansion.
Emperor Qianyuan's stunned gaze still remembers, but he was full of joy when he went home, and he didn't realize the deep meaning of Emperor Qianyuan's gaze.
When he happily returned to Dingguogong...... It sounded lively outside the house, and the warm atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Dingguo Gong put down his young son in his arms, his younger brother, and asked, Why did you come back?
The elegant and virtuous Duchess of Dingguo took away the kindness of Fang Cai, and asked nervously, the emperor does not allow you to accompany you? Have you angered Your Majesty?
How did he get back? Isn't Dingguo Mansion his home?
Aren't the handsome men and women in front of him his parents?
Isn't he Gu Tianze?
He stayed in the Dingguo Mansion for less than half an hour, and he was even more out of place here than he was in the palace, and he understood what his parents were worried about, but he didn't want to tell them how much Emperor Qianyuan doted on him......
Ah Er looked at the master who sank into the water worriedly, "Young master." ”
The pool water splashed, Gu Tianze jumped out of the water, and the water droplets dripped along the lines of his chest muscles...... After washing his face with the pool water, he propped his arms on the edge of the pool, turned over and stepped barefoot on the white marble floor, and the coolness that rose slightly from the soles of his feet swept away the heat in his chest.
Ah Er draped the spotless robe over the master, and the master's black hair dripping wet the robe, "The slave will dry your hair......"
The wide sleeves of his robe rolled without wind, Gu Tianze's body was a little more elegant, but at this time, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were deep and invisible, "I will do what he doesn't dare to do, and if he doesn't dare to fight, I'll fight!" ”
The thin curtains hanging around swayed, his figure was far away, and a melodious voice floated, "Tomorrow, return to Beijing!" ”
The candle flame was dim, Wang Zhiyao squeezed her body with the fragrance of bathing into Jiang's arms, Jiang rubbed her, helplessly and dotingly hugged her to sleep together, and since her daughter woke up, she has become more and more pestering her.
In the past, Wang Zhiyao often pestered the fourth master, and always tried to imitate the fourth master's likes and dislikes...... Wang Yixin does not have Wang Zhiyao in his eyes.
Wang Yixin said that he should be a strict father to his children, and he should not be too arrogant to them.
He was always indifferent and indifferent to Yao'er and Brother Chun...... Jiang Shi realized that there was something wrong with it at this time, how could a father not be close to his children.
Wang Zhiyao's eyelids lifted a gap, this afternoon, Jiang received a letter from Wang Yixin, Jiang decided to return to the capital early tomorrow morning.
"Mother."
"Huh?" Jiang coaxed the soft daughter in his arms, "Can't sleep? ”
"Will you give my dowry for my grandmother's birthday? Mother, I want the richest dowry. ”
Wang Zhiyao secretly glanced at the letter, the Wang family is now looking at the flowers, most of the family has been tossed up by several political turmoil, even if there are still a few fields with silver, most of them are also operated by long houses.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, the wife of the Marquis of Guanwen, Nalan is not a good manager, so the money in the public account is not abundant.
She took advantage of the hosting to give a lot of silver, and it was difficult for her to take out extra silver for Mrs. Wen's birthday at this time.
Even if the whole Wang family is jealous of the silver in the hands of the Jiang family, they have no face to forcibly occupy it as the descendants of the Shi clan, they can only find the most upright reason to deduct the silver from the Jiang family.
It's just that although the Jiang family has a deep affection for Wang Yixin, he is not loose in the use of money, and the Jiang family has subsidized the Wang family, but there are never many times.
This is also the reason why the wives of the rest of the house 'don't look downon' the Jiang family, they are obviously rich, but they don't pull out a dime and don't let them benefit.
"I can't marry without a good dowry."
"Nonsense!" Jiang Shi scratched the tip of Wang Zhiyao's nose, "Anyway, you are the daughter of the fourth master, after you have lost weight recently, I look more delicate, and your father and I will help you watch in the future, and the man who is not good enough will not want to marry you." ”
Wang Yixin? Forget it, Wang Zhiyao has no hope for him.
"I have been married into the Wang family for more than ten years, and I have never been confused about money, and my silver and good things will only be used by my sweetheart. Your father is ranked fourth, he does not accept the title, the official position is Qing Shui, he has three brothers, how can the fourth room cross them? ”
Wang Zhiyao's eyebrows were crooked, and she chuckled: "Actually, my mother can also say this to my grandmother, filial piety lies in the heart, not in wealth, and filial piety piled up with silver money is insulting to the Wang family." ”
"Ghost girl." Naturally, the Jiang clan couldn't think of using the spear of the son and attacking the shield of the son.
"The whole Guanwen Marquis Mansion is ......," Wang Zhiyao suppressed her pretending remarks, "They are all pretending, you are just arrogant, in order to maintain the dignity and harmony of the Wang family, they don't dare to say bad things about you to the outside world." You were born in Xining Bofu, how did your grandfather gain a foothold in the capital, how should you gain a firm foothold in the Wang family, compared to inheritance, than genealogy, grandfather can't compare to the Wang family, but what happened to the rise in the grass? Taizu's family is poor, and he used to be a monk, if it is ranked according to the genealogy, where will it be Taizu's turn? ”
"Your courage is getting bigger and bigger, and even the royal family dares to talk about it."
"I'm not afraid that my mother will be deceived by the villain, the Wang family has the inheritance of the Wang family, and the temperament of the Jiang family is not necessarily bad, at least for now, my grandfather's holy favor dumped the eight streets of the Wang family."
"The winner is the king, the strong is respected, whoever has a big fist should listen to whom, the 'faith' that the Wang family adheres to is ridiculous, and it will inevitably be eliminated by the times."
Wang Zhiyao scoffed at the legacy of the scholars, if the scholars were all merits, they would not be destroyed.
What's more, the Wang family has not inherited the essence of the Wang Xie clan in Wuyi Lane, and if they learn the four dislikes, it will only make the Wang family a laughing stock among the powerful, but they still feel good about themselves, full of fools!
“……”
Jiang Shi was stunned when she heard it, Wang Zhiyao's words and her life in Zhuangzi were like a key to open the lock on her heart, maybe you can try?
