Chapter 363: Observing People's Hearts

On this night, Zhang's mansion was naturally lively, the lights and candles in the three flower halls were brilliant, and the three generations sat down with each other according to their generations, even if the Gu family, who had not drunk for several years, also made an exception. Although he did not say it explicitly when he faced the saint today, Zhang You had also vaguely heard about the proposal of knighthood, and he was very excited, so he had to be courteous and flattering, and when the banquet was finally dispersed, he saw Gu's face flushed, so he ordered the others to go back to their rooms, and only called Zhang Yue to support him left and right. When he went out, he saw a bamboo chair parked at the bottom of the steps outside the door, and he couldn't help but show surprise.

After Gu sat down, he saw that Zhang You was still looking at the bamboo chair curiously, so he explained with a smile: "This is Brother Yue'er's idea, the family uses those cumbersome shoulders, and others want to say that we are overly luxurious, if it is more convenient than a recliner made of bamboo pieces on these two bamboo shelves." Now that I'm old, I need someone to help me when I walk a few steps, so I use this at home, and the people below me can save some effort. This bamboo has good elasticity, and it is comfortable to sway all the way, and it is just light to make a sliding rod. ”

"It turned out to be Brother Yue'er's idea."

Zhang You couldn't help but smile slightly, and immediately stepped forward to cover Gu's body with a blanket. The two little guys steadily lifted the sliding rod and started, and followed the Yongdao all the way to the second gate, and then they lowered their hands and retreated, and then two healthy women came up to take over. After turning two or three corners along the mezzanine, they could see someone with a lantern in front of the north courtyard from a distance, and they hurriedly stepped up. When they landed steadily in front of the door of the main room, Zhang You and Zhang Yue both carried Gu into the house and helped her sit down on the Taishi chair in the middle.

As soon as Gu sat down, he ordered, "Bai Fang, you take the girls down." ”

Seeing Bai Fang withdrawing with the big and small girls, and found that Gu seemed to have something important to say to Zhang You, Zhang Yue also wanted to find an excuse to retreat, after all, he was a junior. However, the thick curtain of the door fell, and the grandmother above spoke: "There is a way that it is difficult to establish an ancestral business, and it is even more difficult to keep the ancestral business. The Zhang family has been in Xiangfu for hundreds of years, the ancestors created this family business, and the elders of the past generations are doing their best to operate, so there is today's Zhang family. It's just that our branch can have today, in fact, it has always been the light of the father and son of Chengrong Guo and the British father, so I have always hoped that my family can have someone to support the door. ”

Gu's gaze changed suddenly, and he stared at Zhang You, who hung his head: "The boss has studied hard since he was a child, and he learned from the Yuan in his early twenties, and then entered the court, and with the help of the British Prince, he rose all the way to the Ministry of Works. Fortunately, God finally favored our Zhang family, the second brother, you have earned your own future with a knife and a shot, and Brother Yue is also angry, and he is already famous all over the world before he is weak! Seeing the thriving scene of the Zhang family, my wife has nothing to regret even if she dies. ”

has been fighting abroad for many years, and Gu is a mother-in-law rather than a biological mother, Zhang You naturally respects more than loves. However, when he heard the word death at this time, he was still taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on his knees: "Why did Mother say this?" You are now strong and rarely sick, and it is common for ancient birthday stars to live over 100 years old, why do you have such ominous words? Although the eldest brother is not here, I can finally accept the joy now, and I will definitely make your seal go to the next level. ”

Seeing that Zhang Yue also silently stepped forward and knelt down, the tall uncle and nephew were only a little shorter than her sitting on the Taishi's chair, Gu couldn't help but sigh softly, and immediately pressed his hand on the shoulders of the two, and then said earnestly: "I'm not rare to have any fate, I just hope that the children and grandchildren of our family can love and live in harmony, not like the two younger brothers of the British duke!" The eldest daughter-in-law and Brother Zhen are full of thoughts that the boss can come back, and I want to too, but I know that this matter should not be mentioned lightly now! Second brother, you three brothers, now you have the highest official position, I want you to promise me, no matter what the boss is, help him when you can help him one day. ”

"If my mother really wants it, I am willing to ......"

"Don't mention anything that guarantees his return with his life with his future!" Gu's voice suddenly increased by three points, and his right hand slapped heavily on the armrest next to him, "Your future is also earned by your own hard work, and this is not the glory of you alone, but also the entire Zhang family!" Even if you are premised on the emperor, the emperor will not approve your filial piety, but will only think that you don't know how to lift! You just need to remember that the truth of our Zhang family is to stand upright. ”

"Yes, my son wrote it down."

Seeing Zhang You bow his head deeply, Gu Shi only felt extremely tired in his heart, but he still bent down and helped him up, and then said with a wry smile: "You and Brother Chao'er are on an expedition, I should have been optimistic about the people in your family." Brother Chao'er gave birth safely, but your second room is ...... It's all because I only thought about Wan Niang at that time and neglected her. ”

"She was frightened on the road, even if she had a miscarriage at home, it was just that her subordinates did not take good care of her, and her son's blessings were not enough." Zhang You lowered his head, and only raised it after a while, his face was full of bitterness, "Because of the eldest brother Fu, the Duke of Qianguo has always taken good care of me, and when he learned that she was interested in me, he tried his best to match, not to mention that with the help of the Tusi of Mangshi City, it would be easier for the various departments in Yunnan to submit, I was not close to women for many years at that time, and I liked her to be delicate and young, and I accepted her at a moment's heart." I brought her back without telling her, and I didn't teach her the rules of the house, so I confessed that my mother didn't see sin. ”

"A manly husband, three wives and four concubines is common sense, and taking a concubine is different from marrying a wife after all. However, you also have to think about your daughter-in-law, where is it easy for her to stay at home for a few years? She has always been a shrewd and strong person, but now she is often too strong, and she is actually bullying her daughter-in-law! That's it, these are your family affairs, I don't care, you go back, don't just care about appeasing your second room, and persuade your daughter-in-law more! ”

Seeing Zhang You withdraw, Gu Shi sighed, and said to Zhang Yue again: "Brother Yue, get up, come and sit with me and talk, I am panicking." ”

Zhang Yue originally thought that Gu had just poured out all the thoughts in his heart in one go, but now when he heard his grandmother still say that he was panicking, he couldn't help but be surprised, and quickly stood up, but his legs and feet were sore, and he stumbled without paying attention, but he was firmly supported by a pair of hands. When he looked up and saw that it was his grandmother, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and quickly stabilized himself and stood up straight.

"They are all people who often see the emperor kneeling back and forth, if they come to the palace like this, it will be a loss of honor at the lightest, and it will be disrespectful at the worst!" Gu Shi glanced at Zhang Yue angrily, but sighed again for a while, "It's been four years since your eldest uncle was taken by Jinyiwei, and I felt for the first time that you were different from other brothers. You have heard what you just said to your second uncle, and now I only ask you, why do you think the emperor didn't let your eldest uncle come back? ”

What did the old grandmother perceive?

Zhang Yue was slightly stunned, seeing that Gu's face was full of confusion, and he didn't see the tough old ancestor just now, he immediately dispelled the idea of persuasion. coughed lightly, and he simply poured out all the doubts in his heart: "The British Duke once said that the eldest uncle was only killed by the pond fish because he was close to the King of Han, so he was demoted from light hair to Jiaozhi, but now that so much time has passed, the emperor should also be angry, why is he still holding the eldest uncle?" ”

Seeing that Gu Shi nodded again and again, his voice was a little lower: "But if there is really any heinous crime, the emperor should be disgusted with our family." When he first saw me, although there were other reasons, as soon as he heard that I was the nephew of the British father, he immediately fell in love, and then he was promoted several times, which shows that he did not have any bad feelings towards our family, otherwise the second uncle would not have been so smooth this time and again. Just look at the emperor's kindness to the Baoding Hou family, and how harsh he is to Uncle Meng Xian, I always feel that the emperor has love for the house and Wu, but more of it is to observe people's hearts. ”

"Are you saying that your eldest uncle is not liked by the emperor?"

Faced with such an answer, Gu Shi only felt that his whole body seemed to be stiff. Although she wanted to reprimand Zhang Yue for talking nonsense, she lived a long time, and even if she didn't care about the major affairs of the court and politics outside, she still understood the big truth. put people on hold in Jiaozhi for no reason, but they spared no effort to promote the rest of the Zhang family, but Zhang Zhen was the last to be benefited, so what Zhang Yue said is very likely to be the truth. Recalling that in the past, Zhang Xin sent people from Nanjing to his hometown in Kaifeng to give gifts during the New Year's holidays, and those treasures and ornaments were definitely not something that Yu Lu could afford to prepare, and she felt more and more uneasy.

In this way, Zhang Xin is not just in close contact with King Han, but has other activities? It must be like this, otherwise when she was 60th birthday, how could King Han send that white jade Buddha? Now this white jade Buddha is still enshrined in the back hall Buddha shrine!

"I see...... It turned out that the emperor put him in Jiaozhi, in addition to derogating and disgusting, it also has the meaning of preservation......"

Bai Fang, who was guarding outside, didn't know how many circles she had turned around in the yard, and then she heard a shout from inside, and hurriedly took a few little girls into the door. Seeing that Gu's eyes were slightly red and swollen, she couldn't help but be startled, and couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yue next to her, thinking that the third young master liked the old lady very much on weekdays, how could she make the old lady look like this at this time. It wasn't until Zhang Yuesue withdrew that she stepped forward to help Gu up, but she settled down on a warm couch in the inner room. She was about washing her feet and other matters, when she suddenly heard a long sigh from the couch.

This night, many people in the Zhang family did not sleep well. Some are in the same bed and have different dreams, some are bitter and unbearable to stay alone in the empty room, some are anxious tossing and turning in their hearts, and some are innumerable grievances and unspeakable suffering. Only the three couples of the younger generation were entangled for most of the night, and only when they had to get up in the early morning did they sigh in annoyance.

How good would it be if it was really a day at home and full of food?
