Zhao Wei helped Zhang walk in from outside. Although it was not clear why they had returned from Guanghua Temple so quickly, looking at Zhang's expression, although his eyes were still a little red and swollen, he seemed to have calmed down a lot.

When she saw Zhao Xiu coming out, her eyes lit up first: "Sister Xiu!" Then he stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Xiu's hand with some excitement. Zhao Xiu was stunned, and she didn't understand what was wrong with her. Zhang was about to speak, but saw Gao Zhen walking out of the living room, and was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Wei saw Gao Zhen, and suddenly there was a loud alarm in his head: "Shizi? How did you end up here? ”

Gao Zhen smiled and said, "I was ordered by my father to send you a few boxes of books, and Sister Zhao has already ordered someone to move to the West Pavilion." Brother Wei just came back from Guanghua Temple? Is the old lady always good? As he spoke, he saluted Zhang.

Although Zhang had a heart full of words to tell her granddaughter, with Gao Zhen present, she could only hold back and said kindly: "Thank you for the book from the prince and the prince." The prince is really polite. Zhao Wei wanted to speak and stopped, but looking at his sister Zhao Xiu's calm face, as if nothing had happened, his reaction seemed to be a little excessive, so he fell silent.

The group went back to the living room and sat down for tea. Zhang greeted the body of King Guangping and was also happy to learn that he had been well lately. Then Gao Zhen said a few words, and then said to Zhao Wei with a smile: "Brother Wei has been going out less recently, so he must be working hard at home, right?" You are so diligent and hard-working, you will definitely be able to get the title of the gold list in the township test this autumn! At that time, the world will definitely praise your talent more and more, and even the face of the old county prince will add brilliance. From now on, who else dares to laugh at it, the noble family must be a rough person who has no talent? ”

These words were a compliment to Zhao Wei, but listening to Zhang's ears, she couldn't help but think of her previous stupid thoughts. If the old county prince is still alive, he must also be looking forward to his grandson going to high school, right? All he had left was the grandson to count on, but she wanted to hinder the child's future. The old county prince knew about it in the spirit of heaven, and I don't know how disappointed he would be.

A trace of sadness and remorse flashed on Zhang's face, and Zhao Wei saw it and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xiu. He was a little skeptical, could it be that Shizi suddenly said such a thing, could it be that he heard something from his sister, so he helped her get angry? However, these words were also very common pleasantries, and if it wasn't for the previous quarrel between his grandmother and sister, he would never have felt that there was anything wrong with this. At this time, he could only respond to Gao Zhen politely: "Xie Shizi Jiyan." I have to do my best to live up to God's grace. ”

Zhao Xiu knew what his brother was thinking. Although she felt a little embarrassed, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and she was secretly happy because Gao Zhen's words meant to stand out for her. However, she was the granddaughter of the Zhang family, and she wouldn't be uncomfortable for too long to see the latter, so she changed the topic with a smile: "Brother Shizi, we are about to move back to the Hou Mansion, and we may have to put warm wine when the time comes." Will you come? ”

That's a serious topic. Zhang didn't really have the heart to set up the wine, and he felt that he was just moving back to his old home, and if he wanted to set up a wine banquet with great fanfare, it seemed too public, so that people would know that they would gossip about the Hou Mansion. She opened her mouth to say something, but she thought that she was a little unhappy with her granddaughter, and she dismissed the child's face in front of the guests, and it didn't seem to be good, so she shut up. Anyway, when the time comes, it means to invite close friends to celebrate, and it is not public, right?

Gao Zhen really wanted to come, but he still remembered that he was still in the filial piety period: "I have clothes on me, but I am afraid that I will collide with the joy of the house, but I am afraid that I will not be able to come." ”

Zhao Xiu also remembered it, and felt a little regretful, but he still smiled and said: "Then when you are filial, let's set up a table of wine at home, and invite the prince and the prince to play, okay?" There is also a garden in our house, which has been renovated and repaired quite well, and many beautiful and fragrant flowers have been planted. ”

Gao Zhen's eyes softened: "Okay, my father and I will definitely come then." ”

He stared at Zhao Xiu, after watching it for a long time, Zhao Xiu felt a little uncomfortable, his face was slightly hot, his eyes flashed, he lowered his head and picked up the tea bowl, and took a sip of tea. The tea moistened the lips, but the lips were a little brighter. Gao Zhen was in a trance, and his eyes stared at other people's lips. Zhao Xiu only felt that his face was hotter, and he put down the tea bowl uncertainly.

Zhao Wei looked left and right, and couldn't help coughing. Zhao Xiu and Gao Zhen were slightly shocked, there was a ghost in their hearts, and they invariably picked up the tea bowl again, and then realized that the two of them had taken the same action, their eyes were facing each other, and they closed it with a touch, and then turned their eyes elsewhere.

Zhao Wei frowned, and Zhang didn't realize it. She listened to her granddaughter's words, and remembered that she had proposed that her granddaughter invite the ladies of Beijing to have a spring flower party in the garden, and take advantage of the light of March to compose a few poems. Now that the March 3rd Festival has passed, I have forgotten it. The weather is getting warmer, and it won't be long before summer begins, and it is no longer appropriate to start the spring party again. At that time, she also wanted her granddaughter to make more friends with the ladies in Beijing, but since it didn't work out, she simply took the opportunity of warm house wine to let her granddaughter go back to the East. Originally, Sun Tzu could also take the opportunity to invite a few reading friends to come over and talk about poetry and papers, but Sun Tzu still has to prepare for the exam, and there are many such things, which is not beneficial to his reading, so it is better to invite someone close to him to come over for a simple drink. The Hengzhi Guangping Mansion will not participate, and the banquet will be simpler and will not be rude.

Zhang's mind had already flown out of the sky, and Zhao Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw that the three people present were absent-minded.

Gao Zhen had a look, he casually found a few words of common saying, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he got up and said goodbye. Zhang quickly retracted his thoughts, and solemnly thanked his father and son again: "Thank you for the book, I will definitely let them store it carefully, and they will never dare to defile it!" ”

Gao Zhen smiled slightly: "The old lady doesn't have to care too much. Since the book is taken, it is meant to be read. If the broom is self-defeating, wouldn't it be against the original intention of the father to give the book? He also mentioned: "The father already has a draft of the inscription mentioned earlier, but it still needs to be considered again, and it will definitely be sent in a few days." ”

Zhao Wei hurriedly said: "The prince doesn't have to worry, the library hasn't officially started yet, no matter when it is written." ”

He sent Gao Zhen out, and Zhao Xiu sent him to the door of the living room. At the moment of going out, Gao Zhen took advantage of Zhao Wei walking in front, turned his back to them, and quickly reached out and shook Zhao Xiu's hand. Zhao Xiu was startled, his face turned red instantly, he glared at him, and said silently: "What are you doing?" A smile flashed quickly on Gao Zhen's lips, and he said silently: "I like your hands." Then the moment Zhao Wei turned around, he took his hand back.

No one saw his movements, except for himself and Zhao Xiu.

Zhao Xiu was so weak that he couldn't do it, sweat broke out on his forehead, and the flush spread from his neck to his face. What do you mean by "I like your hands"? What kind of crazy did Gao Zhen suddenly have today? Okay, she didn't mess with him......

She was stunned, and suddenly remembered that when the two of them were alone before, she had been excited for a moment and took the initiative to hold his hand......

Is it possible to achieve it because of this?!

Zhao Xiu bit his lip and didn't speak, looking at Gao Zhen hatefully. If she knew this, she shouldn't have been so impulsive just now!

Zhao Wei looked at his friend and sister, and always felt that something had happened that he didn't know. What could it be? When I got out of the house, it was clear that everything was normal.

Gao Zhen looked indifferent, and said to Zhao Wei lightly: "I heard about your family, don't worry about the Niu family and Zhao Xiang, no matter what you plan to do, just do it." I have me in front of the emperor. If you have any problems, just come to me. I'm idle at home on weekdays. ”

Zhao Wei glanced at his sister with a wry smile: "I knew that my sister must have told you everything." ”

Gao Zhen patted him on the shoulder: "With the friendship between you and me, what else can't be said?" The old county prince was unfortunately victimized back then, you don't know, since you know, you should let the palace know about it. The old lady has not been in good shape recently, she has never entered the palace, and you are dedicated to studying at home, so I will report it for you, and I will report it in front of the emperor. The reward that deserves the reward, the punishment that deserves the punishment, and the vengeance that deserves to be avenged, you can be at ease. ”

Zhao Wei slowed down: "I also understand this truth, but no one has proved it yet, so I don't dare to act rashly." When I collect all the human and physical evidence, I will naturally have to report it. ”

Gao Zhen smiled: "Isn't it just looking for someone?" Tell me the man's name, and I'll have someone find it for you. The government is much neater than a few people under you. You just have to concentrate on preparing for the exam, and leave the rest to me, don't worry about it. ”

Zhao Wei hurriedly said: "Although you have good intentions, but after all, it is my Zhao family matter, I don't care about everything, I only count on you, so how can I be embarrassed?" ”

Gao Zhen waved his hand: "With the friendship between you and me, and still say such things, isn't it a foreign way?" Don't talk about me, even if my father knows, he won't agree. The old county prince has worked hard for my Gao family all his life, and we can't repay anything else, so what is it to be angry for him? ”

When he talked about this, Zhao Wei no longer refused. The Guangping Palace's appearance is indeed much stronger than his single strength. The point is that once this matter reaches heaven, the emperor will make the decision for their family, but he doesn't have to worry about revenge in private, and there will be any consequences.

He solemnly sent Gao Zhen out of the door and thanked him repeatedly. Although he didn't like Gao Zhen's intentions against his sister, this friend really had nothing to say. If Gao Zhen is serious about marrying this family, what is he to object to? But now that my sister is still young, it would be better if Gao Zhen could be a little more stable and honest.

After sending Gao Zhen back, he looked at the living room, where Zhang was still sitting hesitantly. He sighed and said to Zhao Xiu, who was standing outside the door, "Grandmother just cried in Guanghua Temple over the tablets of grandfather, father and mother. She said to her grandfather that in the future, she would never only care about her own sadness and ignore our brother and sister. He also said that he would definitely assist me and let me revive the lintel of the Zhao family. She's dismissed the idea of going back to the south, and she feels embarrassed about you. It's just that she is an elder after all, and she doesn't know how to resolve the knot with you. My sister will take this step first, right? What is there to worry about with your grandmother? ”

Zhao Xiu secretly glanced at the Zhang family in the house, and saw that she looked at herself, and looked a little timid, but she finally relented. She muttered quietly, "I naturally don't care, but ...... Grandmother really knows what she is wrong this time......"

Zhao Wei smiled faintly: "What are you afraid of?" If she has any foolish ideas in the future, we will persuade her again. What can't a family say? ”

That's just as well.

Zhao Xiu sorted out his mood, showed his smile again, took his brother's sleeve, and walked towards the grandmother in the house.

Gao Zhen rode back to the palace and went straight to Tao Ran Wangji Hall. The king of Quang Binh was there today, unhurriedly listening to the book and reciting a collection of poems from the previous dynasty. Hearing his son's familiar footsteps coming from the door, he waved his hand to signal the scholar to step back, and smiled slightly: "Are you back?" Has the book been delivered? ”

"Yes." Gao Zhen respectfully walked up to him and replied, "When the book was delivered, only Sister Zhao was there, and the old lady and Brother Wei both went out to Guanghua Temple. So I asked Sister Zhao to accept the book. Sister Zhao was very happy, and said that those books are what readers should really read, and after reading the books, they have learned what they should do as a local official, so that they can really shepherd the party. ”

King Guangping smiled: "That child has been knowledgeable since he was a child, and it is rare to be able to see the usefulness of those books at a glance." But......" he showed a somewhat joking expression, "I asked you to send the book a few days ago, but you only said that you were not in a hurry, and said that Old Madam Zhao was not good, and it was not appropriate to come to the door rashly." I suddenly passed without saying hello today, why did I meet my grandmother and brother going out again? ”

Gao Zhen's face turned red, and he hurriedly looked left and right and said: "Father, when I went to Zhao's house today, Sister Zhao told me a big thing. He told the truth about the death of Zhao Laojun Gong as Zhao Xiu said, and mentioned that the front yard of Houfu West Road is still the same as it was when the accident occurred, and that Zhao Wei is searching for the brother of Imperial Doctor Liu in the city.

The smile on King Guangping's face had long since disappeared, and he was very angry: "There is such a thing?!" ”

Gao Zhen asked: "Zhao Jiong is dead, and the Niu family left Beijing with his descendants, how should this matter be handled?" ”

King Guangping thought for a while and said decisively: "I will enter the palace tomorrow to report to the emperor." You will order you to go down in a moment, and order someone to search for the whereabouts of Imperial Physician Liu's brother, and if you find someone, bring it back for questioning first, and if there is any evidence, you will submit it to me. This matter is not trivial, even if it is a matter of transit, it should be widely publicized. ”

"Yes, Father." Gao Zhen was determined, and he was very happy to get the support of his father and help the ancestors of the Zhao family.

He suddenly remembered something: "Father, the emperor has known about the previous Fang Yishan for so long, why didn't he see any movement?" ”

King Guangping raised his eyebrows: "Why did you suddenly think of him for no reason?" ”

Gao Zhen smiled: "It's not for nothing, it's just ...... Zhao Xiang's foreign family, the Jiang family, is also the remnant of King Ying, but the emperor's grandfather and the emperor are lenient and spared their lives. The Jiang family returned to their hometown for a year, and they couldn't hold it back, so they took the initiative to ask someone to deliver a message to convey their surrender to the emperor. They are not diehard loyalists of King Ying, so it is not surprising that they would think like this, and they are willing to do something for the emperor in order to return to the court. At this time, for Zhao Xiang's granddaughter, maybe she may not be welcome, right? As for that Fang Yishan...... Presumably have the same idea as the Jiang family? ”

King Guangping smiled: "The emperor has his own opinions on this matter, you don't have to ask." You'll find out later. ”
