Chapter 142: Funeral
Zhang Qiao'er returned to the City Lord's Mansion in a reluctant manner, grabbed someone casually and asked, "Where is the husband?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, the city lord is discussing in the study."
didn't want to think about it, Zhang Qiao'er went to the study.
She didn't care what big things Brother Zhensheng was discussing at this time, she only knew that for Brother Zhensheng, she didn't even have her mother's home, and she needed Brother Zhensheng's comfort.
But she finally remembered that she couldn't come and go in the study at will.
There were two people guarding outside the study, and Zhang Qiao'er stood still only two steps away from them, and said in a loud voice: "Husband, the concubine has something important to tell you." ”
A few people in the room hurriedly stopped talking and looked at the person at the head of the xiangshang.
Qi Zhensheng raised his eyebrows invisibly, and then waved his hand and said, "Let's go down, make some arrangements, and be sure to be foolproof." ”
"Yes."
When a few people walked to the door, they bowed to Zhang Qiao'er.
"Why can't you wait until I'm done?" As he spoke, Qi Zhensheng didn't raise his head to write something, his expression was a little indifferent.
Zhang Qiao'er didn't notice it at all, came in and closed the door with her backhand, and walked quickly in front of the bookcase, her composure just now was no longer there, "Brother Fujun, my father knows, my father knows everything!" ”
Qi Zhensheng made a pause, and finally looked up at her, "The matter has been settled, what if my father-in-law knows?" Rest assured, my father-in-law knows what to do and will be good for all of us, and he won't embarrass you. ”
Seeing that his wife's face was pale, Qi Zhensheng frowned, "Could it be that your father-in-law is embarrassed for you?" ”
Zhang Qiao'er saw her father's bloody appearance in front of her eyes, and her face became more and more pale. "My dad is ...... My dad ......."
"Huh?"
"Husband, my father is dead! He's dead! Just now my mother told me to go back, and my father fell in front of me, full of blood, my father died, my father died, my father died......" Zhang Qiao'er couldn't hold back anymore, and cried in front of her husband.
And Qi Zhensheng's first thought after being shocked was not to comfort his wife, but to be full of joy.
After taking office, he gathered a lot of manpower, and those who could be cleaned up were also cleaned up, and those who couldn't be moved for the time being also negotiated peace. It's the Zhang family. His arrangement is also not a lot.
Although the sudden death of his father-in-law was somewhat different from his Jihua, if you think about it, it is more beneficial to him.
The Zhang family itself is not very strong, but his father-in-law has been in business for many years. But the web is not small. If the father-in-law is alive. As long as the plan is successful, the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law is bound to be closer. The Zhang family must support it with all his might, and that's what he wanted from the beginning.
But now, my father-in-law passed away unexpectedly! As long as things don't happen, he can accept everything in the Zhang family as he wishes!
He is the uncle of the Zhang family, or the lord of a city, as long as he throws an olive branch, when his father-in-law has no backbone, he can't think of anyone who would be stupid enough to refuse.
His eyes and mind were full of calculations, but Zhang Zhensheng's face was just the right amount of surprise, disbelief, and sadness, "How come, I still talked to my father-in-law early this morning......"
"My mother said, my mother said that my father was angry with me, husband, how is this possible, my father is such a powerful person, it is absolutely impossible, it must be my father who is suddenly ill, yes, it must be like this......"
Zhang Qiao'er desperately needs a reason to excuse herself, otherwise it will be a nightmare that haunts her for the rest of her life!
Qi Zhensheng put down the pen at this time and stood up, bypassed the bookcase and hugged his wife's shoulders to sit down, while reassuring softly, "How can anyone go because they are angry, especially a person with a firm heart like his father-in-law, don't take the fault on yourself, it's none of your business." ”
Zhang Qiao'er looked at her husband with teary eyes, "Really? ”
"Of course it's true." Obviously full of calculations, Qi Zhensheng looked at Zhang Qiao'er firmly and said comforting words, as if he really thought about her like that, "Qiao'er, things have happened irreversibly, you shouldn't be entangled in this now, my father-in-law is heroic, and the things after his death must not be hastily resolved, Jiabao is not here, we have to resist these things, so as not to be said that people are going to tea and cool, don't you say?" ”
Zhang Qiao'er's brain will not turn anymore, she will only follow Qi Zhensheng's thinking, she feels right about everything he says, and nodded again and again at this time, "Yes, Jiabao is not here, my mother can only rely on you, but now my mother is very annoyed, now in the past, is it appropriate?" ”
"At this time, how can I care whether it is suitable or not, that is, my mother-in-law beats me, I have to bear it, and you too, don't really don't plan to go back because your mother-in-law said a few angry words, your father-in-law passed away, and the saddest thing must be your mother-in-law.
"Yes, yes, that's right, then we'll go back now?"
"It's only a few steps away, of course we have to go back now." gently wiped her tears, Qi Zhensheng looked like a good husband who doted on his wife at this time, "Your clothes are too bright, you don't dress well, go to change your body, you have to take these jewelry, don't fall into your mouth, I'm afraid I'll be busy these days, I have to deal with the important things first, you wait for me to go back with you in a while." ”
"Okay, then I'll go back to the house and wait for you."
"Go ahead."
sent people to the door, until Zhang Qiao'er's back disappeared Qi Zhensheng turned back into the house, pacing back and forth for a while, stringing things together one by one, making Jihua more thoughtful, as for why Zhang Zetian died...... Does that matter?
As long as people are really dead, it doesn't matter!
A series of orders were issued, and a bureau against Zhang Jiabao was in full swing.
~~~~~~
"The Zhang family is here to ask to see?" Duan Ziyi put down the book in his hand, looked at Xia Hanqiu, who stopped writing, and asked for her, "Did anyone say anything?" Do you want to see Qiu'er or Zhang Jiabao? ”
"I said I wanted to see Mr. Zhang." It was Ta Liang who came to report, there are still a lot of guests in Shuxiangzhai today, he was closing the account behind the counter, and suddenly a person came in from outside the door and staggered away and pushed everyone away and ran to him, bluntly saying that he wanted to see the son of the Zhang family.
Although Ta Liang is guarding this shop, and his identity is only a slave, but because their brothers were the first to follow Xia Hanqiu, whether it was the Xia family or Duan Ziyi's side, they all looked up to them, so what happened in the mansion and what population was added or subtracted, they still knew that there was indeed a son of the Zhang family in the mansion, and that was Miss Xia's own brother.
Seeing that he was covered in wind and dust, his trembling strands, as if he was about to faint at any time, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to pass it on in person.
Xia Hanqiu put down the pen and rubbed his wrist and got up, "I'll go see you first." ”
Duan Ziyi had no objection and followed.
Chen Cheng was in a hurry, he didn't drink a drop of water and a mouthful of food, he was hungry, thirsty but hard, his throat was already smoking, and when he was waiting, he asked the maid for two cups of cold to drink and didn't feel thirsty, and the maid saw this, so she simply brought a whole pot of cold and put it in front of him.
Chen Cheng was also not polite, cup after cup, until the teapot bottomed out.
The maid still wanted to add something to him, Chen Cheng shook his head, "Thank you, that's enough." ”
The maid then made another cup of rebrewing and stepped aside.
Xia Hanqiu came in and recognized this person when he saw him, Chen Cheng, one of the Zhang family's nursing homes.
Chen Cheng hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Chen Cheng greets the eldest lady." ”
"I'm not the eldest lady of the Zhang family anymore." Xia Hanqiu denied it, didn't talk nonsense with him, and went straight to the point, "What's the matter with looking for Jiabao?" ”
Chen Cheng's eyes appeared in front of the old man lying on the ground with debris on his back, his eyes were slightly red, and he was a tall man, kneeling down with a thud, and choked up, "Miss, master...... The lord is dead! ”
For a moment, Xia Hanqiu's mind was empty, and he lost his mind, forgot where he was, and forgot who he was.
"Qiu'er......" Duan Ziyi hurriedly supported her, and after a while, Xia Hanqiu came back to his senses.
"I'm fine." Saying that there was nothing to do, Xia Hanqiu's expression was a little complicated, probably she really didn't care, she really forgot that she still had a father, she couldn't remember the pieces that her biological father and she once shared, and her heart flashed occasionally, and her mood did not fluctuate.
At some point, she had decided that she had no father or mother, and she felt that there was nothing wrong with that.
However, she still wanted to know what had happened to the person who had always been aristocratic and looked at her with the tail of his eyes.
"I don't know if I'm qualified to know, he's because of Weishenme...... Decease. ”
"Back to the eldest lady, sir...... was killed by the second lady. Chen Cheng has been in the house for more than ten years, and he has always been valued by his master, and he has great feelings for the Zhang family, and he has hatred for Zhang Qiao'er who caused all this, and he told Zhang Qiao'er what he did without concealing it.
Duan Ziyi lowered his eyebrows and said that Zhang Zetian died in a fit of anger, and the ghosts didn't believe it, and Qiu'er wouldn't believe it, but Qiu'er didn't believe it, and she would never know that this matter would have anything to do with him.
That woman is really capable, she has been sick for a lot longer than Zhang Zetian, she is fine, but Zhang Zetian is one step ahead.
Sure enough, Xia Hanqiu retorted without thinking about it after hearing it, "This is absolutely impossible." ”
Chen Cheng smiled bitterly, "We all hope it's not true, but that's the case, at that time, Steward Zhang was guarding outside, and the conversation between the lord and the lady was clear, and no one else was present at the time, and the lord suddenly collapsed, and when the doctor came, he was already out of breath." ”
Xia Hanqiu closed his eyes and quickly calmed down, "Get up and speak." ”
"Yes."
Chen Cheng stood up, secretly glanced at the man beside the eldest lady, and quickly withdrew his gaze, he was naturally sensitive to danger, this person was so dangerous that his whole body was tense.
"Ruyue, go find the eldest prince." Now that the population of the family is gradually increasing, Xia Hanqiu asked his subordinates to call Jiabao the eldest son, Duan Baiyu, who insisted on squeezing in, as the second son, and Nian'er as the third son.
In addition, she also said that it was good, so she let it go.
How do you think that in this way, the relationship between the three of them is better, they go in and out together, learn and play together, but they all have the appearance of young people. (To be continued......)
