Chapter 128: Elder Affection
It was already afternoon when Gu Qing walked out of the Zuowei Prison.
The summer sun was very dazzling, and standing outside the prison gate, Gu Qing squinted his eyes and adapted for a long time before he eased up.
The taste of squatting in prison is very uncomfortable, although under the protection of Li Guangbi's personal guards, Gu Qing has not been persecuted, but the stench and dirty environment in the cell cannot be avoided, Gu Qing squatted for three days, feeling that he is already a salted fish that is about to rot, and he is qualified to worship Xian Yu Zhongtong.
Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were waiting outside the prison, and when they saw Gu Qing coming out, they quickly stepped forward, snorting and tearing about Shaolangjun's lovesickness after being imprisoned, and the vigorous and full expression of feelings made Gu Qing creepy.
Gu Qing was imprisoned for three days, which really frightened the two shopkeepers. They didn't expect Gu Qing to be so able to cause trouble, as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, he sent himself to prison, the only support of the two shopkeepers in Chang'an City was Gu Qing, and the backer went to prison, and the world of the two shopkeepers collapsed.
In the past few days, the two shopkeepers have spent a lot of useless money, walking around in front of the Zuowei Mansion every day, and the money is open to the joints, but at present, it can only be opened to the level of the soldiers on duty at the door, and then it is useless to go to the deeper level.
Listening to the two of them, Gu Qing was still a little moved in his heart, everyone met at the end of Qingping, and there were intrigues with each other in the early days of acquaintance, and with the passage of time, everyone's friendship seems to have improved qualitatively, and now it is a relationship that can share weal and woe.
Gu Qing secretly speculated that if he told the two shopkeepers that he had upgraded them, he wondered if they would generously use krypton gold for RMB players after reading their experience bars on the spot......
Back at the inn, Gu Qing instructed the guy to prepare a big bath bucket, and after the guy made hot water in the room, Gu Qing soaked in it and scrubbed it, and soaked it for half an hour before coming out.
After washing off the stench on his body, Gu Qing felt that the whole person was a few pounds lighter, and then borrowed a bronze mirror from the shopkeeper.
It is a person or a demon who has to look in the mirror occasionally, Gu Qing knows that he is not festive, so he rarely looks in the mirror, but people still have to face their appearance, Gu Qing knows that in addition to not being festive, his facial features are still very upright.
Standing in front of the mirror, Gu Qing stared at himself for a long time, I don't know why, the more I looked at it, the more pleasing it felt to the eye, and even that unhappy face seemed to have become a unique charm, which made people easily think of a life with philosophical depth.
Next, Gu Qing and the mirror had a self-question and answer from the depths of their souls.
"You smile so beautifully, like a spring flower, why do you look so good?"
"Don't ask vulgar questions."
"Okay, you're so good-looking, why would anyone bear to hurt you?"
"Ugliness distorts the mentality of bad people."
"What if someone hurts you next time?"
"Kill him!"
Three questions and three answers, Gu Qing was very satisfied with the questions and answers, and after cleaning up himself, he walked out of the room satisfied.
Outside the door, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were talking with a guest, the guest was an old man, wearing a green shirt, and hurriedly got up and saluted when he saw Gu Qing.
"Lao Yu is the housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion of Honglu Temple, my lord invited Shao Lang Jun to go to the mansion to talk about it, and Lao Yu came to lead the way for Shao Lang Jun."
Gu Qing nodded with a smile, it was already said that he would go to Zhang's house, and he was delayed for a few days in prison, so it was no problem to go to the appointment today.
Gu Qing is a polite person, the first time he came to visit, he finally had to bring some gifts, and it was too rude to come to the door empty-handed.
The high-grade wine brought from Shuzhou is a good thing, and it may be able to save lives at a critical time, Gu Qing decided not to give it casually, but to spend money to buy some gifts temporarily.
The housekeeper respectfully led the way in front, Gu Qing passed by Hao Donglai, and suddenly stretched out his hand to him: "I, Gu Qing, give money!" ”
Hao Donglai was a little confused by his domineering way of asking for money, he had never experienced such an arrogant way of asking for money, Hao Donglai's hand reacted faster than his brain, and he subconsciously took out a piece of silver cake from his arms and put it in Gu Qing's hand, and when Gu Qing took the silver cake and turned around and left, Hao Donglai was in a hurry.
"Hey, why? Why! ”
Gu Qing ignored him, leaving him with a back full of domineering spirit.
Shi Daxing looked at Hao Donglai and smiled mockingly: "Just your pig brain, it is a waste for Shaolangjun to give you half of the porcelain kiln shares, why don't you sell all the shares to me?" ”
Hao Donglai's face was gloomy: "The surname is Shi, you and I will love each other after coming to Chang'an, you don't break our agreement." ”
Shi Daxing sneered: "I don't have a black hand behind your back, I already love each other." ”
"Are you going to the Qinglou tonight?" Hao Donglai asked slowly.
"How are you doing?" Shi Daxing said vigilantly.
"Whichever girl you order, I will rob which girl, and speak with money."
…………
The housekeeper led Gu Qing to the Zhang family's mansion in Daozheng Fang.
There were guards on duty at the door, and the housekeeper led Gu Qing into the door, and as soon as he arrived in the front hall, he heard Zhang Jiuzhang's laughter, mixed with a familiar woman's chuckle.
At a glance, Zhang Jiuzhang and Li Shiniang sat in the front hall, the two talked happily, as if they were chatting about the past, seeing Gu Qing coming, Li Shiniang immediately put away her smiling face, staring at Gu Qing with apricot eyes, her eyes were very stern, but Zhang Jiuzhang laughed and said: "Good Gu Qing, I don't know how much ability the old man has, but his temper is very similar to your father, if you don't agree with each other, you will do it, happy!" ”
Hearing Zhang Jiuzhang talk about Gu Qing's father, Li Shiniang's stern eyes suddenly eased slightly, and even showed a little softness, and sighed in a low voice.
Gu Qing entered the front hall and hurriedly saluted the two.
Zhang Jiuzhang waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's it, sit down, there is an old man in addition to the three of us today, the main reason for inviting the nephew to come is to recognize the door, knowing the Zhang family's mansion, there is nothing to move around in the future, the old man has already instructed the housekeeper, the nephew is his own family, any time he needs anything, just go and get it, the account room has also said hello, if the nephew has a shortage of money, go straight to the account room to ask for money, the Zhang family has everything and withdraws it casually." ”
Gu Qing couldn't help but be very moved, this is a real swipe with his face, the Zhang family's affection for him is genuine, and it is also the reward that his parents exchanged for their lives.
Li Twelve Niang said coldly: "Your father is not as brainless as you, he never missed it after thinking twice about making a move, and Gu Qing, you are purely impulsive and reckless." ”
Gu Qing said with a smile: "Young man pays attention to happiness and revenge, and after the age of thirty, he will slowly know how to consider the consequences and weigh the pros and cons, Aunt Li, I dare to guarantee that my father is also impulsive at my age." ”
Li Twelve Niang snorted: "Your father is naturally calm and calm, the same at any age, he has never done anything wrong in his life." ”
Gu Qing smiled, without arguing with her, he understood a truth in his previous life, quarreling with a woman is the most brain-dead behavior, no matter whether he wins or loses, it will not end well.
Obviously, Gu Qing's father is Li Shiniang's reverse scale, and her infatuation with him has reached the level of fans' fanaticism for idols, so it is best to be cautious about his father in the future.
When the atmosphere was a little awkward, a familiar rough voice came from outside the front hall.
"Uncle Zhang Shi, the foolish nephew is here! Is there any good wine in the house? If you don't have good wine, you can turn around and leave! ”
All three in the front hall smiled at the same time.
Zhang Jiuzhang scolded with a smile: "You drunkard, you can't change your virtue for many years!" Don't worry, I have enough wine in Zhangjia, and I can't kill you if I drink it! ”
When the words fell, Li Guangbi swaggered outside the front hall, Gu Qing stepped forward with a smile and saluted, Li Guangbi pointed at him: "What a boy, this catastrophe was actually avoided by you, stop drinking three hundred cups with me for a while!" ”
Gu Qing bowed down and smiled: "Thank you Uncle Li for running for your little nephew." ”
Li Guangbi pointed at Zhang Jiuzhang and Li Twelve Niang, and said with a smile: "Mo Guang thanks me, they have also contributed to you, on the day you were imprisoned, they went to visit Guo Ziyi, the general of the Left Guard, and asked General Guo for a military order, and your kid escaped in prison, otherwise I am afraid that my personal guards will not last long." You kid got into trouble and caused us elders to run and break his leg, do you think you should be punished? ”
Gu Qing looked at the two of them in surprise, and then saluted sincerely: "Thank you two elders for running, the kid is not talented, and the two elders are worried." ”
Zhang Jiuzhang said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, it's nothing, but because of you, several of our old people got together again, and I want to thank you." ”
The three of them sat down again, Gu Qing is a junior, in the front hall to accompany the last seat, the maids in the house served wine and food, Zhang Jiuzhang as the host took a cup, after the four of them drank a glass, from the back of the hall screen out of a team of dancers dressed in gorgeous palace costumes, lined up in the center of the front hall, behind the screen the music of the musicians leisurely silk and bamboo music sounded, the dancers moved in unison, stretched the palace sleeves and danced.
Gu Qing was dumbfounded, this was the first time he participated in the family banquet of the powerful after coming to Datang, looking at the group of beautiful dancers dancing in front of him, every movement and every look was so provocative, Gu Qing couldn't help but sigh, the civilization of the times is really not necessarily progressing, in this era, even the dusty women and the prostitutes raised by the powerful Kabuki have their own extraordinary skills, and more than a thousand years later, the dusty women will only say coldly, "Big brother, if you don't touch it, you have to give money." ”
At this moment, Gu Qing expressed his sorrow for the first time at the disappearance of traditional culture and art.
After a dance, the dancers saluted and retreated, and presumably changed their costumes to prepare for the second scene.
Zhang Jiuzhang, as the master, took the cup again, and after drinking a cup with everyone, he stared at Gu Qing with his beard, and said slowly: "Although the nephew's calamity has been solved, it may have buried a greater disaster, you offended the Lu family's father and son this time, and the old man thought it was best to turn the war into a jade silk......
Before he finished speaking, Li Guangbi shook his head and interrupted: "Uncle Zhang Shi, it is impossible to turn war into jade silk." ”
"Oh? Why? ”
Li Guangbi sighed and said, "Just now before the foolish nephew came to your mansion, I learned that His Majesty issued an order to put Lu Chengping in prison for three days, and reprimanded Lu Xuan's godson for having no way, and ordered the Lu family father and son to think about it behind closed doors. This time, it was offended to death, and it was impossible to resolve it. ”
Zhang Jiuzhang's eyes widened in surprise, and Gu Qing was also stunned.
It's just that he gave a jar of wine to Li Longji, so the person receiving the gift is so hardworking? Has Li Longji not seen much of the world?
