Chapter 56: The Long Road (15)
Are you looking for me to promise? Gu Jin's eyes widened in surprise, "Third Miss, are you sure you didn't find the wrong person?" ”
"What, you can't afford it?" Zhong Qi glanced at him coldly, "Don't worry, I don't plan to force you to marry me." I am asking for the Zhong family, and according to the current plan of the prince, I must not have a good impression of the Zhong family. I made this decision as a last resort, not to take advantage of you. ”
Gu Jin smiled bitterly, Zhong Qi's original fact of snatching words was first-class, and he really had nothing to say. "I didn't mean that, I just think that the eldest brother of Zhennan Wangfu is much more important than my right to speak, and the third lady has this bargaining chip, isn't it better to find the eldest brother or sister-in-law?"
"I don't!" Zhong Qi raised her delicate chin slightly, "Anyway, do you want to tell them about it, but whether you say it or not determines the next differentiation of many powers in the Southern Regions." If you don't say it, this weight will naturally fall on you in the future, just so that I can sell you a favor; If you say it, it can also mean that the relationship between your brothers in the palace is solid, and it is not an outsider who can provoke it with a few words, and I will sell this favor to the prince and the princess with your hand, and they will also step aside when I open my mouth in the future. So why should I give up one or the other? ”
"The third lady is transparent, and Gu Jin is convinced." Gu Jin stood up and arched his hand towards Zhong Qi seriously, "Okay, I'll accept your deal." In the future, if the Gu Zhong family is really incompatible, I will definitely ask the eldest brother to give the Zhong family a way out. ”
"No, if I were only for the Zhong family, I wouldn't have come to you. After all, your eldest brother is now supporting my third brother, and you are playing well with my second brother. I think that no matter which of you is in power, the Zhong family will always have a glimmer of life. What I ask today is for the sake of letting my Zhong family spare their lives if someone in my Zhong family makes a big mistake in the future. ”
Gu Jin was a little silent, he already understood what this sentence meant, and he also knew who Zhong Qi was entrusted by today. Thinking of the old man, Gu Jin couldn't say anything if he wanted to refuse, he already owed the Zhong family, and besides, Concubine Zhong was there, so he couldn't do it if he followed Zhong Qi's mouth to refuse the old man.
The two of them sat upright and silently finished a cup of tea, "What do they want to do?" Gu Jin asked in a low voice,
"It's nothing more than sitting in the well and watching the sky and wanting to fight with the sky, if you really have that ability, it's just a pity, but it's a pity that your hands are short and narrow-hearted, and you have to stumble three times when you take a step, and you can walk long by relying on others to pull you." Zhong Qi lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth were full of mockery. "I don't ask for much, anyway, they are all Adou who can't be helped, even if they live in the future, they won't cause you anything. Although I am angry with them, they are family members who have treated me like jewels, and I can't ignore them. ”
Gu Jin's heart moved slightly when he heard this, he looked at Zhong Qi deeply, and then said: "As long as the third lady can guarantee that they can honestly admit defeat in the future, I am willing to give it a try to the eldest brother." He said and suddenly smiled, "But I have another way, the eldest brother is now relying on Zhong Yuan, if you can make Zhong Yuan succeed in taking charge of the Zhong family as soon as possible, I think the ending of the Zhong family may not have to be rewritten in the future." ”
Zhong Qi raised his eyes and looked at Gu Jin blankly, "Let the third brother take power?" ”
"Not bad." Gu Jin nodded, "You should know what kind of rules our Southern Regions family has set, the wind direction of a family head and the wind direction of a clansman are completely different." With my understanding of your third brother, he is at least much more reliable than Zhong San in major matters, as for Gu Nianzhong's family, as long as your father and mother give his aunt a few thin noodles in the backyard, he is not a ruthless person who thinks that his eldest brother can look at. ”
Zhong Qi's lips moved, his grandfather did praise Zhong Yuan, but he did not make a clear statement in the position of the head of the family. Judging from Zhong Qi's previous understanding, his grandfather still seems to be inclined to the eldest brother. However, it is also understandable that if the Zhong family abandons the eldest son and chooses to use a concubine to take the throne, I am afraid that the Southern Regions and the Zhong family, even the uncle's family can make a fuss.
She frowned and thought of her eldest brother, and her thoughts couldn't help but become heavier. Although the eldest brother is weak, he is very stubborn. The first few times she tried to persuade her eldest brother to return to the right path, she was met with several angry complaints. She is not a good person, and the two of them always break up unhappily in the end. Besides, the eldest brother now has the support of his father, mother, and uncle's family, and has the support of the Wei family, but he is afraid that he will be able to investigate it by himself, and he will never be able to wait for the result. "You said I'll go back and ask my grandfather to think about it, anyway, since you gave the answer, I have nothing to hide from you."
Gu Jin arched his hand upright, "I wish to listen to you!" ”
"You must already know the news that the Wei family came to Qingzhou. I heard that you are very close to the Wei family, and they seem to be very close to you. I don't know what you're selling, but I have to tell you first. The Wei family's intention to come to Qingzhou this time is not small, they have been operating well outside Qingzhou over the years, at least as far as I know, there are not a few large and small families who serve them outside. Originally, my grandfather wanted to talk to your father about this, but unfortunately your father's attitude was very strange, and he seemed to be a little evasive. So my grandfather specially wrote a letter for me to give you, do you go to see him directly after reading it, or do you pass it on to your eldest brother to meet him together. Grandfather said: It's up to you. ”
Gu Jin's brows furrowed slightly, and his heart sank. This feeling was very strange, and he couldn't help but observe Zhong Qi's face while asking. "How is Grandpa's health now?"
Zhong Qi still had the same expression just now, and there was no strange look revealed. "It's been like that for the past few years, it's not good, it's not bad. It's just that he's been troubled by family affairs lately, and he always has to work a lot of places in a day. ”
Gu Jin rubbed the fabric on the cuffs and thought for a while. "You give me the letter first, you can rest assured that my grandfather has asked you to come to me, and he must be sure that I will deal with this matter with all my heart. But I need to go back to the house first to sum up with my eldest brother, I just hope that the third lady will not tell me the inside story of your meeting with me today, and don't tell anyone except my grandfather. Otherwise, I'm afraid that whether it is my grandfather, you or me, we will be deeply troubled by the risks it brings. ”
"This is natural." Zhong Qi snorted coldly, and the momentum that was more serious just now surfaced again. "If my grandfather knows you, doesn't he know me? Even if I am asked to do this, I must be sure that I will not mess up. Don't look at the young age of this maid next to me, her mouth is the tightest. After speaking, she opened the first layer from the jewelry brocade box that the little girl brought over, took out all the jewelry in the bottom layer, and uncovered the satin and took out the letter placed below and handed it to Gu Jin. I hope you will come up with a charter with the prince as soon as possible. My grandfather and I are waiting for you in the garden. ”
"Okay, don't worry, you won't let your grandfather wait too long. I just made a suggestion about Zhong Yuan, and I also asked the third lady to let my grandfather participate in it. In addition, please take care of your grandfather's health, the Zhong family is now indispensable to him, and he must not be wasted taking care of his body because of his hard work to deal with those trivial things. Gu Jin took the letter, carefully put it away in the hidden pocket on his chest, and said solemnly.
"Don't worry, I will tell my grandfather the truth about what you say." Gu Jin was so sincere, Zhong Qi was also a little moved in his heart. It's just that she can't be grateful, and her tone is a lot softer. "Don't come out like this next time, the more noble your status, the more you should pay attention, you are not only with people, but you should bring more talents around you."
Gu Jin's brows furrowed slightly, and his heart sank. This feeling was very strange, and he couldn't help but observe Zhong Qi's face while asking. "How is Grandpa's health now?"
Zhong Qi still had the same expression just now, and there was no strange look revealed. "It's been like that for the past few years, it's not good, it's not bad. It's just that he's been troubled by family affairs lately, and he always has to work a lot of places in a day. ”
