Chapter 238: Hateful and pitiful

Anyone who has life experience knows that the brother-in-law is a powerful existence second only to the mother-in-law.

treats him as a friend, I always feel that there is an invisible barrier, and the friendship is all about the melon that is twisted out of his wife's face.

But the brother-in-law can't be offended.

He may not be able to overcome the difficulties in the relationship between husband and wife, but he must have the ability to make waves in the relationship between husband and wife. If it happens that my sister is still a demon who helps her brother, the family will be even more peaceful.

Fortunately, Gu Qing had no concerns about this.

Looking at Zhang Huaiyu's appearance, she seems to hate the Zhang family more than herself. Therefore, Gu Qing kicked out without any uneasiness at all.

"Gu ...... Brother Gu, foolish brother Zhang Huaixing, worship ...... Meet Brother Gu. Zhang Huaixing quickly got up and saluted.

Gu Qing looked at him funny: "Doesn't my stomach hurt?" There was sweat on my forehead just now, and those few drops of sweat were very sincere, did I kick hard just now? ”

Zhang Huaixing smiled dryly: "It's not heavy, it's not heavy at all." ”

Gu Qing snorted, and his eyes gradually showed coldness: "What did you call your sister just now?" I can't hear ...... behind my ears."

Zhang Huaixing lowered his head and said: "The foolish brother lost his words, it's my fault......"

Gu Qing said coldly: "I apologize to your sister." ”

Zhang Huaixing is obviously a character who understands current affairs, and immediately turned around without hesitation, and bowed to Zhang Huaiyu respectfully: "Zhang Huaiyu...... Uh, Sister, Brother is wrong, I shouldn't be unscrupulous, please Sister Mo and I will be in general. ”

Zhang Huaiyu still looked at him coldly and didn't squeak.

Gu Qing smiled at her and said, "The peach blossoms in Qujiang Pond are blooming very brightly, shall we go and have a look?" If you still want a rain of petals, I promise it will be even more beautiful this time......"

Zhang Huaiyu finally smiled, glanced at him, and said, "You don't mention that your petals are raining, and you are ashamed to die." ”

The two were about to leave, Zhang Huaixing suddenly stopped him, not daring to look at Gu Qing's eyes, Zhang Huaixing lowered his head and said softly: "Gu, Brother Gu, for the sake of the two worldly friends of you and me, can you ...... Can you help the Zhang family? The Zhang family is in deep difficulty, not only because of the three silk shops, but also because it offended the people of the Du family, and the promotion of his father may be ...... in the future."

Gu Qing shook his head: "You are the one who has prostituted and gambled, and you are the one who spends money to enjoy it, but you want me to clean up the aftermath, heh, you really dare to think about it." Don't help! ”

After speaking, Gu Qing inevitably felt melancholy and resentment in his heart.

Now that I am also a marquis, why is there no fox friend around me to set up a prostitution for me?

If you don't tempt me, how can you know how easily I am a human being.

The two no longer paid attention to Zhang Huaixing, and turned to leave.

Zhang Huai looked at the two of them, with resentment and helplessness in his eyes.

Although he is a virtuous descendant, after all, people go to tea and cool. His father is now in his forties and is just a county magistrate, and Zhang Huaixing is not the kind of cannon fodder character who has no eyesight, he knows that he can't afford to provoke Gu Qing, so he doesn't even dare to say a cruel word, and he can only watch him leave after being rejected by Gu Qing.

When Gu Qing and Zhang Huaiyu were walking out of the garden, they suddenly saw a noise in the bamboo forest next to the garden.

Zhang Huaiyu looked over vigilantly, and the sound in the bamboo forest suddenly stopped, and soon, two familiar figures walked out.

Zhang Zheng and Zhang Xie walked to Gu Qing and the others with embarrassed faces.

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and saluted: "Meet Uncle Zhang, meet Auntie." ”

Zhang Zheng had a very sullen temperament, but nodded lightly.

Zhang Xie smiled and said: "The spring is just right, I am walking around in the bamboo forest with your Uncle Zhang, giggles, where are Gu Xian's nephews and Huaiyu going?" ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "The peach blossoms in Qujiang Pond are blooming just right, the foolish nephew plans to go with Huaiyu to have a look, and the spring is just right to go green." ”

Zhang Xie said with a smile: "Young people should indeed move more, Huaiyu is good to accompany Gu Xian's nephew, don't make him angry, you know?" ”

Zhang Huaiyu didn't say anything, his expression was as cold as ever.

The atmosphere was a little stiff, Gu Qing smiled and played a round: "Thank you for your concern, although Huaiyu has a cold temperament, she is very gentle in her heart, and she won't make me angry." ”

Zhang Xie wanted to speak and stopped, but sighed but stopped talking.

The two said goodbye to Zhang Zheng and his wife.

The moment they turned around, Gu Qing and Zhang Huaiyu inadvertently saw Zhang Zheng's expression, old, anxious, and a trace of helplessness about the general trend.

If Zhang Zheng can't get over this hurdle, I'm afraid it's not just a matter of three stores, what will happen if a county magistrate offends a celebrity in front of the prince? Zhang Jiuzhang may not be able to solve this trouble, as one of Jiuqing, his face may not be effective in front of the prince.

Glancing at Zhang Zheng's expression, Zhang Huaiyu quickly turned his head away and left without hesitation.

Gu Qing sighed secretly, so he had to follow her quickly.

…………

Walking on Chang'an Avenue, the two of them have been silent, and the crowds around them are surging and bustling, but Gu Qing can feel a burst of coldness when he walks beside Zhang Huaiyu.

As he walked, Zhang Huaiyu's eyes turned red, but he still bowed his head and walked forward silently, silent tears running down his cheeks, tugging at Gu Qing's heart.

A woman who was once so chic and calm also has a sad side after all.

took out a white towel from his arms and handed it to Zhang Huaiyu, Gu Qing sighed: "I will accompany you whatever you want, but please don't cry, look at the passers-by next to you, they all think I just beat you......"

The corners of Zhang Huaiyu's mouth twitched, he took the handkerchief and quickly wiped away his tears, took a deep breath, and said: "Gu Qing, I actually really hate the Zhang family, I hate everything about the Zhang family......"

"My mother was accepted as a concubine by my father, just to ask for a son, because my mother's birthday coincided with my father, and Xiangshi said that my mother had a suitable man, so the Zhang family happily accepted my mother into the door......"

"Two years later, my mother gave birth to me, he saw that it was a daughter, turned around and left, I was born and I was not even hugged by him, he has not paid attention to us since then, in the remote courtyard of the Zhang family, only our mother and daughter depend on each other, and there ......is no one to wait."

"Mother's life is like an object that was bought by someone in the East Market, and when he bought it home, he found that the object was wrong and unsatisfactory, and he couldn't return it to the seller, so he had to be thrown into a corner where he didn't see the light of day, and he didn't even want to take a second look, because this object reminded him of his mistakes at any time, and his mother was not his pillow person, but his stain."

The more Zhang Huaiyu spoke, the more excited he became, and his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

"What did Mother do wrong? Just because you gave birth to a daughter? ”

Seeing that her emotions were about to get out of control, Gu Qing hurriedly grabbed her arm and dragged her into a dark alley where no one was around.

"Huaiyu, don't reminisce anymore, recalling the painful past is not going to get along with yourself, I will accompany you in the future, you are not an object, you are a treasure." Gu Qing said seriously.

Zhang Huaiyu leaned against the wall weakly, wiped away his tears, his eyes became cold again, and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly: "I hated him for so many years, and at that moment just now, I felt that he was very pitiful, he was really cheap, I have even killed people, why can't I be ruthless......"

"Gu Qing, if you don't feel embarrassed......"

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll solve it." If you open your mouth, I'll do it. ”

…………

Saying goodbye to Zhang Huaiyu, Gu Qing returned home and immediately called Han Jie.

"Send a few people to Dali Sizhi Du Hongjian to keep an eye on the door, and if you see his chariot and horse leaving the house and heading towards the East Palace, tell me immediately."

Han Jie took the order and left.

Two hours later, it was almost evening, and the guards came to report that Du Hongji's carriage and horses were leaving the house and were heading to the East Palace.

Gu Qing straightened his clothes, and also ordered the carriage to be prepared, leading dozens of people to the East Palace.

Coming to the gate of the East Palace, Gu Qing got out of the carriage, raised his eyes and saw the magnificent gate of the East Palace, Gu Qing rubbed his face and smiled.

The prince of the East Palace should indeed visit, not only because of the Zhang family's affairs, but also because he has a more important purpose.

Judging from the history books of his previous life, although the prince of the East Palace is not as wise as Li Longji when he was young, at least he is not stupid or confused, and he can barely be regarded as a Ming monarch after inheriting the throne.

Han Jie stepped forward to hand over the name card to the soldiers in front of the palace gate, and the soldiers sent the name cards into the door, and it didn't take long for a eunuch to come out with a whisk of dust, bow to Gu Qing, and smile thoughtfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, please invite the Marquis of Gu County to enter the Luan Palace." ”

Gu Qing thanked him and followed the eunuch into the East Palace.

After entering the door, Gu Qing found an opportunity when there was no one around, and quietly stuffed a small piece of silver cake to the eunuch, and the eunuch accepted it after pretending to pretend to shirk it.

"This chamberlain, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has leisure at this time?"

The eunuch accepted the money, his attitude was more kind, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness is having a banquet with several courtiers, and I was a little surprised to see the name of Gu County, but the slave maid could see that His Royal Highness attached great importance to Gu County, and immediately ordered the slave and maid to go out of the palace to greet him." ”

Gu Qing asked again: "Dali Sizhi Du Hong is gradually available at the banquet?" ”

The eunuch recalled for a moment and said with a smile: "Yes, Du Sizhi has assisted His Highness for many years, and His Royal Highness has relied on him a lot, but whenever there is a banquet, he will be called to drink with him." ”

Gu Qing nodded, since Li Linfu's death, there has been a short-term chaos among the forces in the court, and then gradually stabilized, because of Li Linfu's death, and Yang Guozhong has not yet paid homage to the prime minister, the East Palace took advantage of the situation to divide up a lot of forces in the Xiang Party, when Li Linfu was alive, with the acquiescence of Li Longji, the East Palace was suppressed to the point that he was breathless, and now Li Heng can finally breathe a little sigh of relief.

And that Du Hongjian is obviously a member of the East Palace Prince's party.

As the eunuch walked outside the main hall of the East Palace, Gu Qing entered in addition to the crown.

In the hall, the cups are staggered, the singing and dancing are leveled, the wine banquet is very lively, the graceful dancers spin and jump in the beautiful music and close their eyes, and the fragrant wind is accompanied by the slender figure, which makes people's hearts stir.

Seeing Gu Qing enter the hall, the crown prince Li Heng, who was sitting on the main seat and was slightly disheveled, immediately clapped his hands, causing the maiko and music to stop.

Then Li Heng personally got up to greet him, and laughed: "Gu Xianhou is a rare guest, and he has been lonely for a long time. ”

Gu Qing hurriedly bowed and said, "Minister, Gu Qing, meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Haha, it's all my own family, don't be polite, but rusty. Last year, Chongyang Gu and Gu Qing had a meeting in Lishan, and they hadn't seen each other for more than half a year. Li Heng handed over a glass of wine and said with a smile.

Gu Qing took it in a panic, drank it all without saying a word, and said: "If you are not invited, it is the minister who is presumptuous, please forgive Your Highness." ”

Li Heng suddenly grabbed Gu Qing's hand, patted the back of his hand, and sighed: "Gu Qing's talent, lonely and deep admiration, I can't wait to sleep with you, how can I be presumptuous?" can get Gu Qing to visit, but I can't ask for it. ”

Gu Qing smacked his lips.

What does it mean to "sleep on your feet"? It is said that ten princes have nine bases, is it ......

When the boy enters the East Palace, he must protect himself.

Cheering up to deal with Li Heng's extraordinary enthusiasm, Gu Qing casually glanced at it, and found that Princess Wanchun was also at the banquet.

This princess is really ......

Are you a nightclub queen? You're everywhere.
