Chapter 36: Deception
Gu Zheng disagreed with Liang Jingxian's words, and felt that Liang Jingxian was too stingy: "Siniang, they have to be on guard, but they can't just because Liu Gongzi was calculated by them once, I will ignore others in the future!" He did me a great favor anyway, how could I blame him for being so stingy? β
Liang Jingxian was in a good mood, and didn't want to worry more about Gu Zheng so as not to be unhappy with each other, so he leaned over and pressed Gu Zheng, buried his head deep in her neck, and said in a casual tone: "In short, in the future, Cen Siniang's husband and wife will be far away, and it is best to call me wherever you go, don't go to the appointment alone stupidly." β
Gu Zheng pouted and glared at Liang Jingxian, and pushed him away from his body: "Hmph! How can I be as stupid as you say! β
"If you're not stupid, you'll be harmed like that? Fortunately, I arrived in time to bring you back yesterday, otherwise you would have made a big fool," Liang Jingxian said and glanced at Gu Zheng evilly, deliberately stopping his gaze on Gu Zheng's towering 'chest': "I don't want to think about what you did last night, as if you have changed as a different person." β
"You...... I...... I'm going to visit the garden! β
No matter what happened last night, it was a shame for Gu Zheng, which made Gu Zheng's arrogance weaken immediately, not only did he not dare to continue to carry it with Liang Jingxian, but he also fled quickly with an embarrassed face, and dared to stop when he ran into the garden in one breath.
Gu Zheng walked around the garden and walked around, and unexpectedly ran into Zhang Sheng again, only to see Zhang Sheng climb over to the fence of the water pavilion, standing very close to the water, so close that he would fall into the water as long as he took a small step...... Gu Zheng observed him from a distance for a while, and saw that he really tried to lift his feet and hang on the water, as if he was going to go down!
Zhang Sheng's dangerous actions shocked Gu Zheng, and he hurriedly spoke out to stop him: "Big brother-in-law, be careful!" β
Zhang Sheng listened and slowly retracted his steps and looked back at Gu Zheng, his face was full of silence: "It's the third brother and sister, so coincidentally we met again, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine." β
Gu Zheng climbed the stairs and walked quickly to the edge of the fence of the water pavilion: "Big brother-in-law, come up, don't stand there, it's dangerous!" β
Zhang Sheng didn't come up according to his words, but instead sat on the fence with 'sex', his eyes fell far on the lotus 'flower' in the middle of the lake, and his tone was infinitely melancholy: "Third brother and sister, I'm a little tired, I think that too many things in life are different from what I think, not only can I not go as I wish, but I also hit walls everywhere." β
As soon as these words came out, Gu Zheng immediately realized that something was wrong with Zhang Sheng, and sat down next to Zhang Sheng with the idea of not being able to see death without help, and deliberately said it briskly and playfully, making the atmosphere seem less heavy and depressing: "Even immortals can't do everything well, not to mention that we are just mortals......"
Zhang Sheng's mood was still a little low: "Yes, but immortals are always much less troubled than mortals!" β
Gu Zheng had to continue to cheer him up: "There are always more ways than difficulties, and there is nothing that cannot be solved!" The eldest brother-in-law must believe that life will only get better and better, and all the hardships are only for growth, even if they fail and endure hardships, these are also valuable experiences, and as long as they get through, there will be unexpected gains. β
Gu Zheng's words seemed to be said to Zhang Sheng's heart, making him look at Gu Zheng fixedly for a while, and after a while, he sighed faintly, and said softly and slowly, as if asking Gu Zheng and himself: "Will the days really get better and better?" Can we really reap the rewards after suffering? I see that the third brother and sister and the third brother are very affectionate, and there should be no such troubles as me. β
Zhang Sheng suddenly turned the topic to the love of husband and wife, Gu Zheng couldn't react for a while, and only pouted secretlyβββ where did she and Liang Jingxian make people feel affectionate?
Why does everyone think that she and him are very affectionate, and they live a good life?
However, Zhang Sheng suddenly changed the topic to the love of husband and wife, could it be that he had an awkward relationship with Liang Yuanniang?
Gu Zheng was searching for something to comfort Zhang Sheng, but he saw the maid Jade beside Second Lady Liang running over in a hurry, and when he saw Zhang Sheng, he panted and said, "Auntie, Second Lady is sending people to look for you everywhere!" Hurry up and go to the 'flower' hall with the slave to see the second lady, the second lady will be unhappy if you go late! β
As soon as Zhang Sheng heard that Second Lady Liang was in a hurry to find him, his face immediately changed, and he seemed to be a little afraid to see Second Lady Liang, so he hesitated and asked Jade a little nervously: "Did the Second Lady say what happened to me?" β
Hearing this, Jade subconsciously glanced at Gu Zheng, hesitated for a moment, and replied euphemistically: "When the eldest aunt goes, she will know what the second lady is looking for you, so don't delay any longer, hurry up!" The second lady is very angry right now! If you're too late, you'll be by her......"
Zhang Sheng still stood in place and refused to move, but Jade could only be ruthless when he saw it, and said the matter: "It's not a secret, in fact, someone came to the house to find the eldest aunt, saying that he was here to collect debts!" The little guy who watched the 'door' stopped them from entering, and they made a fuss outside the 'door', and the fuss happened to alarm the second lady! β
When Zhang Sheng heard this, his face changed greatly, and he immediately turned over and crossed the fence, and as soon as he landed, he hurriedly followed Jade to the 'flower' hall, so anxious that he even forgot to say hello to Gu Zheng......
Gu Zheng waited for Zhang Sheng to go away before getting up and leaving the water pavilion, and slowly walked back to Qiushuang Garden, connecting Zhang Sheng's actions with Jade's words, and feeling more and more that Zhang Sheng must have caused something, as soon as he saw Liang Jingxian, he told him the matter 1510: "I look at the eldest brother-in-law and it seems that something is not quite right, why don't you go to the 'flower' hall and take a look?" I'm afraid that he will be scolded by the second aunt after the incident, and I can't think of doing something stupid for a while! β
Liang Jingxian went to the 'flower' hall according to his words, and it took about a stick of incense to turn back, and brought Gu Zheng an unexpected newsβββ it turned out that Zhang Sheng did not give up after borrowing money from Gu Zheng's husband and 'wife' to no avail, and finally found a Chinese person to borrow the Yinzi money with a very high interest rate, and used the borrowed Yinzi money as the capital, and secretly carried Liang Er's wife and others behind his back, and did the business of selling incense 'medicine' with others.
It's a pity that Zhang Shengchu got involved in the business world, not only was he inexperienced and didn't understand the 'treacherous' deceit of businessmen, but the borrowed capital was quickly deceived by someone, and he ended up with a situation where he couldn't 'get' the money to repay the creditor, and couldn't pay the principal and interest, and he didn't dare to ask his mother-in-law and wife for money......
It's a pity that the paper can't hold the fire, just when Zhang Sheng was panicking all day long, and even wanted to commit suicide, the matter was finally known by the people in the second roomβββ Zhang Sheng's creditors chased all the way to the Liang family, and 'forced' the second lady Liang to pay back the money for him in order to calm the matter, and the money was still taken out of the dowry money of the second lady Liang!
Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news brought back by Liang Jingxian, and said: "The eldest brother-in-law was probably afraid that the matter would be 'revealed' before, so he would be depressed and a little unable to think about it, but now that the matter has been made big, it has also been solved, I think the eldest brother-in-law should not be unable to think about it anymore." β
Liang Jingxian was not as optimistic as Gu Zheng, and his face was slightly dignified: "You guessed wrong, I think the eldest brother-in-law's mood is likely to be worseβββ the second aunt was unwilling to repay the money for the eldest brother-in-law, and asked him to write an IOU in front of his subordinates, saying that it was to teach the eldest brother-in-law a lesson," Liang Jingxian said with a little disdain on his face: "It's all a family, and the second aunt asked the eldest brother-in-law to make an IOU, but she even asked him for high interest, which really only recognizes money and not people." β
Second Mrs. Liang has always been greedy for money, and she refused to repay the money for Zhang Sheng in vain, she not only asked Zhang Sheng to make IOUs and pay high interest, but also sent a message to let Zhang Sheng work in her dowry shop to pay off her debts, but said to the outside world that it was to give Zhang Sheng a chance to learn how to take care of the shop, so that he would not be deceived and lose all his money in the future.
However, although Zhang Sheng was suppressed and ridiculed by Mrs. Liang, he was very happy to get the opportunity to learn how to take care of the shop.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Let's not mention how Zhang Sheng was, but said that Xiao Yurou quickly found Gu Zheng, and apologized to Gu Zheng with a guilty face as soon as she took a look: "Third cousin-in-law, I came to ask you for guiltβββ I didn't know that you were killed by a villain that day, and I was angry and mistakenly thought that you and Young Master Zhou were ...... I said something unpleasant in front of my third cousin, I'm really sorry! β
Although Gu Zheng couldn't get the specific evidence, he had long known that this matter was not only related to Cen Siniang, but Xiao Yurou also couldn't get rid of his concern, so he felt disgusted when he saw Xiao Yurou's coquettish face again, and he didn't bother to be false with her, so he directly threw a sentence to expose her hypocritical face: "You don't have to be like this, you know what you have done." β
Gu Zheng made her words clear, and Xiao Yurou slowly shed two lines of tears on her face, she probably knew that it would be difficult for Gu Zheng to forgive her this time, and when she saw that Gu Zheng didn't even look at her, she knelt down with a "plop": "Yurou knows that she shouldn't misunderstand her third cousin that day, let alone say those words that make her third cousin and third cousin separate!" Yu Rou knew that the third cousin-in-law must be very resentful of Yu Rou at the moment, all of this was Yu Rou's fault, Yu Rou had done something wrong, and she would be beaten and scolded, and she only asked the third cousin to forgive Yu Rou......"
Gu Zheng saw that Xiao Yurou came to this set every time, showing weakness and admitting mistakes, and tearing and blaming herself, she felt very disgusted in her heart, and she no longer was polite to her after a change of mind: "Let you beat and scold?" Okay, go with the spoon and give me a hard slap. β
Spoon Er has long been very disdainful of Xiao Yurou in her heart, as soon as she saw Gu Zheng speak, she rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward, and without waiting for Xiao Yurou to react, she quickly gave her two slaps, beating Xiao Yurou in placeβββ she didn't expect Gu Zheng to really beat her!
But the phrase "let you beat and scold" was said by herself, so even if she was beaten by Gu Zheng's maid in vain, she could only eat coptis dumbly, and she couldn't say anything about her suffering, so she continued to play Xiaobai's 'flower': "If beating Yurou can relieve the anger of the third cousin-in-law, Yurou is willing to be beaten without regrets." β
Gu Zheng wanted to see how long Xiao Yurou could pretend, so he quietly punched the spoon and made a look: "Did you hear the spoon?" Keep fighting, beat me until I get rid of my anger. β
