In the embroidery building of Zhangfu, Zhang Shunqing, who was full of filial piety, sat on the gum, gently turning a string of prayer beads in her hand, looking at her nose and nose, looking at her mouth, her lips trembling slightly, and she didn't know anything. The once ruddy face has become haggard again, even if it is enough to be called beautiful enough to captivate the country, in this case, it is inevitably discounted a little.

If you look closely, you will find that her lips are chapped and obviously very thirsty, but the tea in her hand has long since turned from hot to cold, but it is still full, and she has not taken a sip. The snacks and fruits on the table were the same, untouched.

There was a sound of stairs, and Aguli ran up from downstairs like a gust of wind, and because she was running too quickly, the healthy and energetic Mei Ji couldn't help but pant for breath. Zhang Shunqing didn't even raise her eyelids, still muttering words there that no one knew the content of. Aguli stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, but she didn't react, and reached out to push her shoulder, Zhang Shunqing's body shook with Aguli's hand, but then she threw a very sharp eye knife over.

"I am chanting scriptures and praying for my father, helping my father ascend to Elysium early in the spirit of heaven, do you dare to come to harm my filial piety, are you not afraid that I will punish you for your sin?"

The voice that was originally as beautiful as the yellow warbler in the hollow valley has become hoarse due to thirst. Aguli said distressedly: "If the young lady is willing to talk and eat and drink, even if the master beats me to death, I will admit it." Since the old man announced that you and Gu Gongzi's relatives are like this, the old lady was still alive at that time, so it wasn't that time to be exceeded, right? ”

"At that time, I prayed for my eldest father, wishing him a good health. It was you who came to harm me, so that this matter was not completed, and I have not punished you, but you have the face to ask me? Get out! Don't get in the way of me chanting! ”

"Chanting the scriptures also requires you to eat and drink enough, Miss Since that day, she has only drunk a small bowl of bird's nest porridge every day, how can people bear it?"

"You know what? I swore in front of the Bodhisattva, keep the vows and pray for blessings, you bearded girl don't understand these things, don't talk nonsense. If it's okay, get downstairs, you don't have to worry about my business. ”

"Naturally, I'm here for something, I'm here to deliver medicine to Miss." Aguli was not angry with Zhang Shunqing's anger, and said with a smile: "Miss's panacea is here." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, I don't want to hear it." Zhang Shunqing's face was still flat, she lowered her head to read her scriptures, and Agul said: "I know that Miss is blaming me, but you can't blame me, I really can't give you our Persian knife." That knife is very sharp, even if you don't have the strength, you can kill, if you kill Gu Gongzi, you will pay for your life...... Okay, no matter how much Miss blames Agul, I'm here to atone for my guilt. Fan Gongzi has entered the mansion, and it is over there in the mourning hall! ”

She said to Zhang Shunqing with a smile on her face, she thought she could see her excited, but she didn't want Zhang Shunqing to even raise her eyelids, and still lowered her head and chanted. Aguli repeated Fang Cai's words again, and Zhang Shunqing said coldly: "Your little caution, don't use it in front of me." I know that Gu Shi is there, and I will not meet him. If you make up any lies, don't try to trick me into meeting him. ”

Aguli didn't expect Zhang Shunqing to distrust herself, she was a little aggrieved, and her beautiful eyes were full of crystal tears. "Miss, Aguli has never lied to you, why don't you trust Aguli. You take a look with me, if Fan Gongzi is not there, I will pay you with my life! ”

Seeing that she said such heavy words, Zhang Shunqing stopped chanting, "What you said is true?" ”

"Whether it's true or not, you can see it at a glance."

"Okay, I'll go with you to see, if you're lying to me, you won't be allowed to come to this building in the future."

From the embroidery room to the mourning hall, Zhang Shunqing's heart was slowly tightening. Gu Shi is a typical toothless rabbit, it is impossible for him to start such a big battle just to see him, and he has no ability to let Aguli work for him like this, is it ......?

Thinking that her sweetheart might really be in the mourning hall, Zhang Shunqing's heartbeat became inexplicably faster. Even though she knew that the marriage between the two might not be successful, and Gu Shi had a lot of inconvenience when she and Fan Jin met, she didn't care about it at this time, as long as she was with her lover, it didn't matter if she was broken.

When she came to the door of the mourning hall, she glanced into the mourning hall, and the person stood there firmly as if she had been in the fixation method. The hand gripped Agul's wrist tightly, and the slender nails pierced into Aguli's flesh, and bright red blood beads flowed on the fragile nails, like bright red dancôme. Aguli didn't care about the pain, just looked at the young lady attentively, saw that her body was trembling slightly, her lips trembled again, this time her voice was no longer vague and she could hear the words clearly, only heard her mouth repeatedly: "Retreat...... Reflection. ”

In the mourning hall, Fan Jin, Zhang Maoxiu and Gu Shi were talking about something, looking calm, compared to the two of them with embarrassed faces, he looked very free. "Brother Gu is the east bed of Zhangfu? It's disrespectful. Fan Jin returned a salute to Gu Shi, and then asked, "But I don't know when the marriage letter will be established?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's not too late. Gu Shi's face turned even redder, his hands were clenched into fists, and his eyes, which were originally indiscriminate, were now bloodshot. Judging from his performance, Fan Jin confirmed that he must know that he and Zhang Shunqing are already husband and wife, and he also accepted the identity of the pick-up man. It's just that as a bitter master, he can accept Zhang Shunqing, which doesn't mean that he can accept Huang Mao standing in front of him.

This guy seems to be a bit of a face. Fan Jin muttered to himself in his heart, he wanted to be angry with himself, but he didn't dare or didn't know what to do. So much so that he was very uncomfortable, and for the people he really wanted to deal with, there was actually no damage, judging from the attitude shown by the two of them, Gu Shi seemed to be more reasonable.

This kind of person is loyal, and he can't find any handle from being a man, but on the other hand, most of them are worse in terms of life interest, and they are not interesting. It is also because of this that Zhang Juzheng is ready to recruit him as a son-in-law to ensure that his daughter will not be picked on by her future husband because of her failure to apply to Fan Jin.

From a logical point of view, Zhang Juzheng actually can't talk about anything wrong, but from Fan Jin's own interests, of course, he doesn't allow all this to happen, so Gu Shi's eyes are a little scrutinizing. Just as he dug Liu Kanzhi's corner that day, he is now preparing for the worst. Even if Zhang Shunqing's marriage with him cannot be stopped, he has to swing his hoe again.

Zhang Maoxiu was afraid that the two would fight in front of the spirit, so he hurriedly reconciled, found something to divert the conversation, and motioned Fan Jin to leave quickly with his eyes. But Fan Jin seemed to have suddenly become stupid, and he turned a deaf ear to Zhang Maoxiu's prompts, and was still talking to Gu Shi there.

Gu Shi had only met Zhang Shunqing once, and it was only a glimpse, and when he came to meet as a good family, Zhang Shunqing said goodbye and left. He is a courteous gentleman, and when he sees a woman, he will take the initiative to stagger his eyes, and he will not look very carefully. But for him, this side is enough. After all, he and his last wife only met on the night they got married, and they had never met before that.

He is not a good person, and with his appearance and family, it is not difficult to find a beautiful woman in the civilized southeast, or attract a few small jasper. However, Gu Shi, who strictly abides by the etiquette law, has always believed in the principle of marrying a wife with virtue, and does not care much about the appearance of women. His last wife was not very beautiful, but she was very dignified and virtuous, and she was obedient to her husband, and that was enough.

After the death of his wife, he was in the prime of life, so naturally someone proposed to continue the string. It's just that at that time, he just gave all the family property to a few brothers in the family, so that they wouldn't fight over the division of the property, and there would be no source of livelihood and livelihood, so there would be no talk of getting married. He is not a person who wants to change his life by being someone's son-in-law, and he thinks that he has no need for **, but when he met Zhang Shunqing in a hurry, his heart was like being held tightly by something at that moment, and he stayed there for a while, and he didn't even care about what Zhang Juzheng said.

Is there such a beauty in the world? When he returned to his residence, what flashed in his mind repeatedly was Zhang Shunqing's beautiful appearance. From Zhang Juzheng's words, he vaguely felt that he was hinting at something, he was honest and not stupid, he was not an elm head, he could understand Zhang Juzheng's hint, and he was inexplicably excited about this hint. He has always been steady, for the first time he has an inexplicable sense of excitement, he can't say what he feels like, he just feels that his body is burning, he is extremely excited, and he wants to do something, but he can't do it well no matter what he does, because what flashes in his mind repeatedly is that shadow, and nothing else can get into his heart.

That night, when he dreamed that he was married, he lifted his hijab, and what appeared was not his deceased wife, who was ordinary in appearance but respected him like a guest, but Miss Zhang. He tossed and turned that night, and that night he had several dreams in a row, and the person in the dream was her.

In the ensuing exchanges, Zhang Juzheng finally revealed his intention to recruit a son-in-law, and Gu Shi also agreed. Even if Zhang Juzheng later admitted that his daughter was no longer complete, he didn't care.

Gu Shi is a very polite person, and he actually cares very much about a woman's failure before marriage, but as long as Zhang Shunqing is forced or deceived, or what he willingly does with other men, he doesn't mind. He loves her, she is willing to accept everything in her past, as long as she belongs to herself after getting married, he doesn't care about what happened before she got married.

He could feel that the woman didn't have a good impression of him. Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Sixiu both wanted to create an opportunity for the two to meet, but every time Zhang Shunqing refused to show up, he didn't even want to talk to himself. Zhang Juzheng also euphemistically said that his daughter is spoiled, a little arrogant, and has a bad temper, and will never be as docile and lovely as his deceased wife, and is obedient to himself, but so what?

He doesn't care. As long as he becomes a husband and wife with her, he is willing to pay any price, he believes that with his gentleness, sooner or later he can soften the woman's heart and let her feel at ease to be a husband and wife with him.

Zhang Wenming's death is just the departure of an elder for Gu Shi, what he thinks about is how his father-in-law's health will be in the future, whether Shun Qing will be sad and sad because of his grandfather's death, and how her body is. He wanted to express his condolences, but there was a difference between men and women, and he didn't dare to open his mouth. As for the series of changes in the court brought about by Zhang Wenming's death, or the question of Zhang Juzheng's stay and departure, for Gu Shi, he had never thought about it at all, and he had no concept of these problems.

He is not a person in the officialdom, even if he is now a fourth-grade official, he is actually a leader, and he doesn't know what his job is, let alone an official. Every day in the yamen, he only reads and doesn't care about things, or he doesn't know what to do. In his opinion, it doesn't make a difference whether Ding Wei is worried or in-service, and it doesn't matter if he is an official or not.

He knew Fan Jin's name, and Zhang Juzheng also revealed to him the relationship between Zhang Shunqing and Fan Jin on the same day, and he naturally said that he would not mind. But this kind of generosity is for Zhang Shunqing, not for Fan Jin.

As soon as he saw Fan Jin, he couldn't help but think that his future wife was deceived and seduced by the man in front of him, and even lost his claim to him. One of the images that flashed back to my mind was that of my fairy-like wife, who shared a bed with this man and was at the mercy of what he wanted.

This was already unacceptable to him, and what made him feel even more intolerable was Fan Jin's attitude. He didn't feel the slightest guilt about himself, but looked at him with mocking eyes, and the information revealed in his words was that he didn't believe that Shun Qing would marry him at all.

Thinking of his relationship with Zhang Shunqing, Gu Shi felt more and more that his dignity had been trampled on, nameless anger burned all around him, and his hands were subconsciously clenched into fists, he wanted to swing his fist and hit this guy in the face, and then tell him that Shunqing was his mother, and he was not allowed to think about it anymore. But...... He couldn't.

From childhood to adulthood, Gu Shi has been a decent gentleman, loyal and simple, and will not fight with others. He had never touched anyone, not even quarreled. In a big family, it is inevitable that there will be a competition of interests, which will lead to open and secret fighting, and whenever this kind of struggle involves him, he will choose to back down. Whether it is a field or a shop property, as long as he fights, he will retreat.

Not fighting or fighting has become an instinct of his, although this time he is unprecedentedly angry, but he doesn't know how to express his anger, although his fists are clenched, he doesn't know how to swing out. Seeing Fan Jin regard Zhang's Mansion as his home, talk cordially with Zhang Maoxiu, and speak fluently, he felt uncomfortable. He is clumsy in words, but he can speak well, and he will ...... in the future You have to stay away from him. Fortunately, he is an official, he can't go anywhere, and he takes his wife to avoid him from afar, and everything will be fine.

At this moment, Fan Jin suddenly stopped, as if he felt something, stopped talking to Zhang Maoxiu, and moved his gaze to the door of the mourning hall. Gu Shi, who didn't know what was going on, also subconsciously moved over with Fan Jin's gaze, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. Just when he was full of doubts, he heard Fan Jin speak:

"I know you're there, just like you know I'm here. I know you're sad, and you can't help yourself with a lot of things, and I'm not going to force you to do anything. If you think that's enough, then I won't bother you. Just let me watch you here, just watch. I know you're there, like you know I'm here, you and I are in each other's hearts, and that's fine. ”

Fan Jin's voice was extraordinarily soft, as if there was an inexplicable magic power that could make people's hearts extraordinarily warm. Gu Shi's heart tightened inexplicably, he had already guessed who was standing outside the door, he hoped that he had guessed wrong, but reason told him that it was the only answer.

He asked himself if he could say such a thing, not because of his knowledge but because of his character. He was a stern and dignified man, and he could not speak with such an attitude, even to his wife. In his opinion, it is perverse and disruptive to speak to a woman with such words. The cold and glamorous beauties such as the daughter of the Zhang family will definitely leave, and they will not meet this kind of man with a bad name, don't ...... Show oneself.

In the darkness, a slight sobbing sounded, and then a slender figure dressed in heavy filial piety appeared at the door, and then saw that he shook off someone's pull, and rushed towards Fan Jin, shouting in his mouth: "Retreat!" ”

The two people hugged each other tightly as if no one was around, and the woman called out affectionately, "Retreat...... Messire! ”

That Xianggong screamed that made people's hearts drunk, and their souls flew into the dark, just for this Xianggong, even if Gu Shi was broken and went to the soup and fire, he would never give up, but he knew very well that the woman's name was not him.

In the quiet of the night, the sound of something breaking sounded in the mourning hall.
