Chapter 227: Hou Ye is released from prison
In Zhang Huaiyu's memory, "father" is a very distant and unfamiliar word. From an ignorant child to a cardamom adult, she has very little intersection with her father.
Growing up, the father in her memory was very cold to her and never fulfilled her father's responsibilities. From the moment she was born, when the father knew that she had given birth to a daughter, he no longer cared for her.
In the prime minister's house, she lives with her mother, who is a concubine, and her mother is thin and small, and she swallows her anger no matter how unfair she is treated by the lady of the main room.
When Zhang Huaiyu grew up, he listened to his mother whisper about the past when he was young.
Her mother's background is not good, but an ordinary family in Chang'an City, can become the concubine of the eldest son of the prime minister of the dynasty, and it is also because the Zhang family does not know where to invite the minister to approve the birthday, Zhang Huaiyu's mother's birthday is the most suitable for Zhang Zheng, and there is a suitable man, so the Zhang family rehired her to marry her as a concubine.
In fact, Xiangshi is not accurate, a few words of understatement hurt her mother's life, after giving birth to Zhang Huaiyu's daughter, Zhang Zheng was disappointed, and since then he has ignored the mother and daughter, and Zhang Zheng's wife is also angry, Zhang Huaiyu was born two years later, he actually gave birth to a son, and the birth of the son made Zhang Huaiyu's mother and daughter in the Xiangfu situation worse.
The prime minister's house is like a gate, the courtyard is deep, and the people are cool.
When Zhang Huaiyu was two years old, her mother finally fell ill after a long period of depression, and died before the beginning of spring, leaving her daughter alone in the prime minister's mansion to endure Zhang Zheng's neglect and the mockery and abuse of the main lady.
Until Gu Qing's parents were invited to the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw that Zhang Huaiyu was lonely and pitiful, they left her by her side to teach her martial arts every day, Zhang Huaiyu felt the unprecedented family affection in Gu Qing's parents, and those years became the only happy time in Zhang Huaiyu's life.
After the death of Gu Qing's parents, Zhang Huaiyu blamed himself deeply and hated the Zhang family more and more, and since then he has lived in the shadow of Gu Qing's parents.
After two years away from home, human nature finally belongs to the family.
Feeling timid and secretly happy, he saw his long-lost father, but Zhang Zheng's still indifferent attitude poured a basin of cold water on Zhang Huaiyu's head.
It's been two years, and he hasn't even asked if he's okay outside, as if there was just a strange guest at home.
Full of disappointment and sadness, Zhang Huaiyu silently walked to the backyard.
She really shouldn't belong here, but where should she belong? After utter despair of this home, she no longer has a home.
Walking into the moon arch in the backyard, a delicate figure sprang out like a mouse.
"Sister!" Zhang Huaijin ran to her excitedly, his eyes were full of joy, if she had a tail, she would have already shaken up at this moment.
Zhang Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, and then also showed a happy smile, only this cousin is the only relative who can warm her in the entire Zhang family.
Zhang Huaijin took Sister A's hand and spun around, and the barbell-like laughter was very three-dimensional and surrounding.
"Sister, I haven't seen you for two years, you seem to have lost some weight, but your complexion is better than before, it seems that the mountain village in Shuzhou really raises people, I will go to live for a few days another day, and there is, your skin is smoother than before, Shiqiao Village is Penglai Wonderland, Sister, you have become like a fairy, ahhhh......hhh
Seeing that her cousin was still as lively and simple as she was back then, Zhang Huaiyu showed a doting smile and reached out to help her comb her slightly messy sideburns.
"Sister, how are you doing when you've been out alone for the past two years? Is it hard? ”
When these words came out, Zhang Huaiyu almost burst into tears.
Back at Zhang's house, she was the only one who asked herself if she was good and if she worked hard.
"Sister is not hard, I am doing well, and the whole village listens to me." Zhang Huaiyu said with tears in his eyes.
"With Sister A's skills, she must be very majestic in Shiqiao Village, right? But if Brother Gu is here, he will be the one who is majestic......" Zhang Huaijin, who was excited, said of Gu Qing, his happy expression suddenly froze, and he muttered: "No, I can't be so happy, Sister is my enemy, I want to defeat her......"
Zhang Huaiyu looked at her suspiciously: "What did you say?" ”
Zhang Huaijin took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to look at her directly, and said, "Sister, I want to defeat you!" ”
Zhang Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for two years, and you have long skills, but you still can't be my opponent now, save it." ”
"Oh, no, I said I was going to beat you, I didn't fight you......"
"What's that?"
"Yes...... Anyway, to defeat you, except for any aspect of the competition, after defeating you, Brother Gu will be mine. Zhang Huaijin's tone was resolute, his eyes were full of courage born for love, and he was as persistent as a beacon on an island that would never be extinguished.
Zhang Huaiyu's smile gradually rose, stared at her and said, "You really like Gu Qing." ”
Zhang Huaijin nodded seriously: "I like him, so I want to fight with you." ”
Zhang Huaiyu smiled bitterly and stroked the top of her head, and sighed: "Silly girl, what you want to defeat is not me, but Gu Qing's heart, squeeze me out of his heart and occupy my original position, that is your victory." ”
Zhang Huaijin was stunned, then looked at the sky with an ignorant face, thought about the logic of this, thought for a long time, and said stupidly: "It seems to be ...... That's the case, it doesn't seem to be useful to defeat you, Brother Gu still likes you. ”
Zhang Huaiyu couldn't cry or laugh: "Your Brother Gu is a smart person, and he likes to associate with smart people, Huaijin, you have to be smart." ”
Zhang Huaijin said seriously: "Sister, I'm very smart, don't underestimate me." In the past two years, I have read a lot of books, and the more I write, the better I look, I know that the person Brother Gu likes is you, and I also know that you actually like Brother Gu too, you are a match made in heaven, but I still stick it without skin and face, pretending not to know anything, Sister, you can't treat me as a child anymore......"
"Once a woman likes someone, she is no longer a child."
…………
Before you know it, a month has passed.
This month, Gu Qing was idle in the prison of Dali Temple, and felt that he was about to become a waste.
But others are in prison, and there are still legends of him outside.
The generals of Chang'an issued a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was inscribed by the prince of the current day, and ordered that every general must read it, not only to read, but also to write and feel after reading, which can be described as very cruel.
Most of the generals are people who are proficient in Tao strategy, just like Li Longji's initial reaction, at the beginning he was reluctant to turn the pages perfunctorily, and then the more he read, the more difficult it became to extricate himself, and after reading it, he immediately admired Gu Qing very much.
At the beginning, Gu Qing was crowned a marquis because of the rescue, and the courtiers of Chang'an did not dare to say much, and they still looked down on Gu Qing in their hearts.
Until this Romance of the Three Kingdoms came out, the views of the generals on Gu Qing gradually changed.
The young courtier, the name of the world, there is really a bit of dry goods in his stomach, after all, the Son of Heaven is a saint, the decision of the marquis must have been carefully considered, and Gu Qing's ability is indeed worthy of his title.
There is no wind and no waves among the people, but the generals of the guards have recently gathered together to quietly discuss this Romance of the Three Kingdoms, from the art of war and strategy to politics and diplomacy, some generals even blushed, and it is not uncommon to fight.
At the beginning of March, when the spring flowers were blooming, Gu Qing was finally released from prison after completing his sentence.
Han Jie and other guards stood outside the Dali Temple early in the morning and waited, and the jailers sent Gu Qing to the door respectfully and respectfully, saying goodbye to Gu Qing very politely, and at the same time smiling and telling Gu Qing euphemistically, "farewell" is just a polite word, if there is nothing to do, everyone had better be happy and never see each other.
Gu Qinggang's good mood when he was released suddenly became a little more gloomy, when I am willing to stay in your place? If he wasn't really afraid of extending his sentence, the few jailers in front of him would have been beaten violently, and there would still be a hundred of his own guards standing outside the Dali Temple.
When he walked out of the prison, his eyes suddenly turned black and stinged.
I haven't seen the sun for a long time, and my eyes can't adapt to it, Gu Qing rubbed his eyes for a long time, and then he barely recovered.
Han Jie and a hundred guards stood outside Dali Temple, the armor was neatly lined up in four teams, Han Jie stood in front of him with armor and a sword, and when he saw Gu Qing coming out, Han Jie and the guards seemed to have discussed the lines, and saluted and said in unison: "Welcome to Hou Ye, Hou Ye is the country to eliminate traitors, loyalty and righteousness are unparalleled!" ”
Obviously, they were welcoming the prisoners who had been released from prison, but the guards made a momentum to welcome the general's triumphant return.
A hundred people shouted in unison, frightened the pedestrians of Dali Temple to stop and watch curiously, and on the locust tree on the edge of the clearing, a group of birds and birds were startled.
Gu Qing was also frightened, and couldn't help but stumble in his footsteps.
Han Jie hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to support him, Gu Qing looked at the people watching in the distance, and said with a somewhat ugly face: "Who made this famous?" ”
Han Jie looked proud, and said with a straight chest: "It was the last general who came up with it, Hou Ye was imprisoned for his brothers and tarnished your reputation, and the last general always had to make some moves to come out, so as to teach the world that Hou Ye is not a traitor, but a good official who has eliminated traitors for the country." ”
Gu Qing sighed.
This guy probably hasn't seen a movie, when the bosses of the gangsters in his previous life were released from prison, they were so beautiful, how similar is the treatment of Gu Qing today, but those bigwigs who are released from prison usually don't end up very well, and the plot will probably hang up after half an hour.
"Don't engage in such bells and whistles in the future, I want to live for another five hundred years." Gu Qing said with a cold face.
Han Jie scratched his head in confusion.
"By the way, Master Hou, there is also a guest from afar waiting for you, just in the carriage behind......" Han Jie reminded, his expression suddenly a little ambiguous: "...... It was a female guest. ”
"Who?" Gu Qing looked around and saw that a carriage in the open space outside Dali Temple suddenly opened the curtain, revealing a beautiful, delicate and slightly cold face.
The two looked at each other, like two magnets attracted to each other, gentle and lingering, and could no longer be separated.
After a long time, Gu Qing suddenly laughed, patted Han Jie's shoulder, and said, "She's not a guest, she's my future wife, anyway...... It's her in this life! ”
Han Jie and the guards were stunned, and then blessed their hearts, bowed to Zhang Huaiyu in the carriage and clenched their fists, and shouted in unison: "Meet Mrs. Hou!" ”
Zhang Huaiyu was stunned, and before she had time to be shy, another small head squeezed her away, Zhang Huaijin forcibly appeared on camera, stuck his head out of the car window, pointed at Han Jie and said angrily: "What Mrs. Hou, don't shout!" It's still early! ”
