In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu, and thousands of households say, always replace the new peach with the old charm!

Chinese New Year's Eve has been a major festival since ancient times, and at the end of the first year of Xining, Jiangning City is bustling with activity, and every household is lighting up to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

The Meng family is a big family in Jiangning, although last year the family was unfortunate and there was a funeral, but the New Year still has to be celebrated. Old Madam Meng seems to have deliberately forgotten the tragic past, and with the birth of the youngest son of the Gu Qi family, the house is also a little happy, so she plans to have a good time.

Meng Ruoying and Gu Yuelun returned on the 28th day of the lunar month, and the Meng family suddenly became more popular, and Mrs. Meng was quite comforted.

On the surface, everyone seems to be happy and happy, but in reality, it seems that this is not the case! Because Lin Zhao, the current central figure of the Meng family, has not yet returned, it is inevitable that people will feel that they are not reunited and worried.

Especially Meng Ruoying and Gu Yuelun, knowing that Lin Zhao had caused a big disaster in Bianjing, they would be in big trouble. I didn't know that things had taken a turn for the better, so I was worried. Gu Yuelun has always been worried about whether her cousin will be punished and imprisoned, and while Meng Ruoying comforts her, she is full of concern, and she doesn't know if Lin Zhao can settle the ...... This time the matter is too big, the eyes of the two ordinary women are still limited, and they don't see the power struggle behind the matter, let alone the game of the bigwigs behind it...... The most important thing is that they can't tell Old Madam Meng and Gu Qi yet, they are afraid that they will be scared half to death on the spot when they hear it. Therefore, Meng Ruoying only said that Lin Zhao had made meritorious contributions to the Liao State and was waiting for the reward from the imperial court in Bianjing...... Meng Ruoying only roughly described Lin Zhao's actions in the past six months, many things were slightly mentioned, in line with the principle of reporting good news and not bad news, some things could not be mentioned at all.

Rao was like this, Gu Qi was still stunned. He expected that Lin Zhao would not be low-key, since he was wronged by the Li family and Chen Xuan that time, this child's surname has changed too much, and it is good to become lively, but it is too public.

This kid was really disobedient, and the thousands of instructions he gave when he left were completely regarded by him as a deaf ear, Gu Qi felt that he was wrong, maybe he couldn't let Lin Zhao go to Bianjing from the beginning...... Jiangnan lived in the famous Bianliang City, solved the murder case of the Liao envoy, and then sent an envoy to Liaodong...... For more than half a year, Lin Zhao has done a lot of things. But I wrote back many times, but I never mentioned a word, it seems that I deliberately hid myself!

If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you, why doesn't this child know the depths?

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, what Lin Zhao did was completely promising, heroic, and promising, which should be celebrated. But Gu Qi was worried, not to mention anything else, how dangerous it was to envoy to Liao, although Meng Ruoying's description was very bland, emphasizing that Lin Zhao's envoy had gained a lot and made great contributions...... Don't forget, Gu Qi fled from the north to Jiangning, and he understands how ferocious the Khitans are. Go to the land of tigers and wolves, can you get better?

In fact, there are some things that can't be hidden no matter what, Wanyan Agu was brought back to Jiangning by them this time, and the origin of this child is important to have a clear explanation. Meng Ruoying forgot to prepare in advance, the lie was too clumsy, and it was directly exposed by Gu Qi, so she had to tell the truth...... So the matter of impeaching Li Boyi to save Lin Zhao had to be mentioned, and Gu Qi's heart trembled when he heard it. No matter who dies, as long as it is a matter of taking the surname, it is enough to see its danger, but I am afraid that it is dangerous in Liaodong.

While thanking the Jurchen righteous people, Gu Qihou was afraid, and it was a blessing that his nephew could return safely...... As for accepting the reward, it is a good thing in the eyes of others, but in his eyes, it is like a great enemy, and the nephew is afraid that he will fall deeper and deeper, and there will be great trouble in the future...... It's good to be a businessman, so why do you have to enter the official career? You shouldn't force it in your life, what's so good about being an official!

Especially when I heard Meng Ruoying say that Lin Zhao was very highly regarded by the emperor, he went to the palace many times to meet him alone, and he was also involved in the struggle of the ministers, Gu Qi was so frightened that he didn't sleep almost all night...... It is precisely because of this that even if he is middle-aged, Gu Qi is not too excited, and his heart is all on his nephew...... Especially when the New Year is approaching, Lin Zhao is still nowhere to be seen, even if he accepts the reward, it won't be delayed for too long? Meng Ruoying said that Lin Zhao came back from Liaodong in mid-November, and the reward should have been promulgated a long time ago, how could he wait until now?

And Miss Meng and her daughter seemed to be secretive when they spoke, thinking of the very unlucky dream a few days ago, Gu Qi had an ominous premonition, it couldn't be an accident, right?

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the family banquet in the Meng Mansion was ready, and Lin Zhao still did not return. At this moment, Mrs. Meng and Gu Qi really couldn't sit still, and Meng Ruoying and Gu Yuelun were even more worried...... Under the constant questioning of the two elders, they had to tell the truth...... Angry Prime Minister and punched the prince...... O God! Lin Zhao is inevitably too bold, this is a catastrophe, the two old men unanimously think so!

It seems a bit far-fetched to be angry Tang Xianggong, but it doesn't matter, Gu Qi didn't care very much from the beginning.

The key is to beat Zhao Hao, the king of Qi, especially after learning Zhao Hao's identity, Gu Qi's heart continued to sink...... The beating of the prince is very serious, if it is ...... again There are some other twists and turns, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape...... Gu Qi complained to her daughter, why didn't she tell the matter earlier, Mrs. Meng blamed her granddaughter, how could she leave Lin Zhao alone and return alone. This time it's good, I can't get the two accurate news, and I'm really anxious. Thinking about it, what can they do but be anxious?

Just when the Meng family was in a mess, Lin Zhao slapped his horse and entered Jiangning City! After passing through Yingtianfu, he crossed the Huaishui River, passed the general, and traveled thousands of miles in half a month, and finally rushed back to Jiangning in the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve...... Seeing Lin Zhao return safely, the whole family's hanging hearts finally let go.

Lin Zhao first went to visit his aunt who was still in the middle of the month, although Liu couldn't speak, he could see that his husband had been absent-minded recently, and he often sighed and sighed because of his nephew. This will see someone, then everything will be fine, and he smiled and took the initiative to hand the child over for Lin Zhao to hug ...... Lin Zhao took it carefully, a pink, young baby who was not yet a full moon was a little cousin. Because the child was born in Dongyueli, they all hoped that he would grow up safely, so Mrs. Meng named him Gu Dongping.

"It's so cute, come, give my cousin a smile......" Lin Zhao held his little cousin in his arms for a while, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to uncle, congratulations to aunt......"

Gu Qi is a middle-aged child, and he is really embarrassed to be said by his juniors...... Lin Zhao said: "Before the envoy to Liaodong, Yan Gu's parents died to save me, so I brought the child back." I also asked my uncle and aunt to spend more snacks and raise them in Jiangning temporarily, and my cousin also happened to have a companion......"

"It's good!" Gu Qi naturally did not object, and it was incumbent on him to raise the orphans of his life-saving benefactor. Randomly pulled Lin Zhao out, the nephew and uncle hadn't chatted for a long time! Gu Qi felt a little strange with his nephew and nephew, and the distance was getting farther and farther away...... "Zhao'er, you have ambitions, and your uncle doesn't object to it, but these things you are involved in are inevitably too dangerous?" Uncle is worried! ”

Lin Zhao said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't let my uncle worry about me, I was really reckless in what happened before." But now it's raining and the sky is clear, and it's all right......" and then briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Hearing that he was punching the prince, he was actually used by Emperor Zhao Ji to deal with his brother, and he also involved the queen mother, Gu Qi was silent for a long time. admonished: "Okay, the scar forgets the pain, I told you not to be too public, you just don't listen......"

"Well, what my uncle said is, I remembered, and I will be cautious in the future." Lin Zhao smiled: "Besides, right now, I may be unofficial and light!" ”

"That's the best, it's okay to do business well and live a stable life?"

Why is my uncle so opposed to being an official? In his early years, he was not very supportive of his own entrance examination, why did he take a 180-degree turn in his attitude a few years ago? Even if the idea of being rich is peaceful, it won't be so strong?

Lin Zhao said tentatively: "Uncle, I went to Liao this time, passing by the border of Heshuo, our hometown of Zhuozhou, where the flood and earthquake, and the threat of the Liao people, the people's lives are really difficult, it is ...... that someone should work hard to change."

Gu Qi wanted to cry in his heart, he had great ambitions, it was a good thing to take the world as his own responsibility, if his father heard it in the world, he would be very happy...... But now...... The past is over! Gu Qi didn't want Lin Zhao to get involved too deeply, the road ahead was difficult and dangerous. However, it seems that it is too late to stop it now, and for a while, Gu Qizhen hopes that his nephew will be directly dismissed by the emperor and will never be hired...... The two were walking outside and saw many people coming and going, and the Meng family was worshipping their ancestors. Meng Ruogu was gone, so he invited a few nephews from the side house to come and worship with Mrs. Meng and Meng Ruoying...... Seeing this, Lin Zhao remembered his parents and family in his previous life, and was quite sad. Then I thought of my parents in this life, so vague concepts, I wondered: "Uncle, since I was a child, I don't seem to have ever worshiped my ancestors......"

Gu Qi's expression tightened, and he shook his head and said, "We are fleeing, and the ancestral hall genealogy has all been washed away by the flood, where can we go to worship our ancestors......"

"Then it's time to pay tribute to my parents......" Lin Zhao wondered, "But it seems that I haven't even seen my parents' spiritual positions......"

Gu Qi smiled bitterly: "In the past, we were servants of the Meng family, where can we worship the spiritual position?" Uncle doesn't do it, because he is afraid that he will wronged your parents......"

"Don't worry now, Jiangnanju has made a lot of money this year, not to mention that I have entered the court as an official, so I should set up a spiritual position for my parents and worship from time to time......

Gu Qi smiled and said: "Yes, a good thing, if your parents know about it, they will definitely be very pleased." But it's not good to let them wander away, let's wait until I return to my hometown in the future! ”

Lin Zhao wanted to start immediately, but he didn't want to be gagged by Gu Qi first. I can't help but wonder, why does my uncle have to push back such a common thing as worshipping my parents?

My uncle never seemed to talk about his parents...... It seems that something is deliberately hidden from him.

Could it be that there is something really special about his life experience? Like a mystery!
