Zhang Qiye is a tight-lipped person.

As long as he doesn't want to say something, whether it is coercion or temptation, he can't pry his mouth open.

Thinking of this, Yun Sheng also stopped thinking.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiye opened his mouth by himself: "There is a new medicine in the pharmacy." ”

Yun Sheng was stunned: "Yes......"

"It's the medicine I gave you last time, the one that cures the poison in your body, and I don't know which kind-hearted person it is." Zhang Qiye asked knowingly.

Yun Sheng didn't say anything, but said: "If you have the chance, you must thank him well and save my dog's life." ”

The two of them tacitly agreed.

Since breakfast, Zhang Jiusheng has been separated from Yunsheng, and he has not seen anyone in the morning, not in the Yamen, nor in Baishitang, and it is impossible to be in Zhangfu.

Where did he go?

Yun Sheng asked Zhang Qiye, and Zhang Qiye also said that he didn't know.

On the other end, Zhang Jiusheng was at Guan Chu's house, squatting outside the courtyard where Guan Chu's family raised chickens, and watched Guan Ning catch chickens and make chicken soup for him with wide eyes.

"Uncle Guan is amazing!" When Guan Ning stood up with the wings of a fat chicken, Zhang Jiusheng was dumbfounded, and he didn't forget to clap his hands desperately.

Guan Ning smiled, laughing at the young master of this big family who hadn't even seen catching chickens, but he felt that it was very novel.

And Guan Chu because of Zhang Jiusheng's sudden visit, Guan Ning said that he wanted to use his housekeeping skills to cook a meal for him, so he had to run to chop wood and boil water to make some basic preparations.

Even if it's still some time away from lunch.

"Uncle Guan, I really haven't eaten your food properly." Zhang Jiusheng didn't seem to have any guilt in his heart, and followed Guan Ning, going back and forth.

"You will know your Uncle Guan's craftsmanship in a while, and I will definitely not let you come here in vain."

Guan Ning didn't know the purpose of Zhang Jiusheng's coming today, and only thought that it should be a whim, after all, Guan Chu and Zhang Jiusheng have been leather brothers who have been making trouble on the street together since they were children.

Then when he walked in front, he didn't notice at all, Zhang Jiusheng's smile gradually disappeared, and finally froze at the corner of his lips, and the palm hidden in his sleeve never let go.

Zhang Jiusheng couldn't have imagined that the man in front of him who was smiling honestly and wanted to make chicken soup for himself was the reason why he had been afraid of blood for so many years.

followed into the house, Guan Chu also lit the fire and heated the pot.

"Dad, the water is hot, let's pluck the chicken feathers?" Guan Chu stood in the kitchen and shouted.

Guan Ning responded: "Okay, second young master, you go to the house to rest for a while, drink some tea, and I'll ask Chu Zi to come over and talk to you in a while, I'll be fine soon." ”

Zhang Jiusheng nodded and entered the house by himself.

In the house, it is not a house with four walls, but the furnishings are simple, there are some wooden tables and chairs, at a glance, you can know that Guan Ning made it himself, and it is full of warm atmosphere.

This is Guan Ning's carefully built home for Guan Chu.

Even if there are no women in the house.

Zhang Jiusheng stood in the room, thinking about it in a mess, it was very complicated.

What Guan Ning did, he couldn't let Guan Chu know.

This is a tacit understanding that he and Guan Ning have not discussed.

Guan Chu carried the hot tea that had just been brewed into the house, and as soon as he stepped through the door, he saw Zhang Jiusheng standing there, stunned, and didn't know what he was thinking. Guan Chu was also a little strange about Zhang Jiusheng's sudden visit today, you must know that Zhang Jiusheng has not come to his house for several years, and he has shouted before, but he always has all kinds of excuses.

Over time, Guan Chu stopped shouting.

"What do you want, sir? Sit down first, the hot tea I just brewed, it's cold, you warm your hands. Guan Chu said enthusiastically, added hot tea to Zhang Jiusheng, delivered it to his hand, and then ran diligently to bring the brazier in, and the room was warm for a while.

"Nothing." Zhang Jiusheng's heart was different, looking at Guan Chu, he couldn't help but have some unspeakable emotions.

He took the hot tea that Guan Chuyin handed over, and explained decently: "It just feels like I haven't been to your house since I grew up, and I haven't tasted Uncle Guan's dishes much." ”

Speaking of this, Guan Chu was also sad.

He looked up and thought about it, he also forgot that he didn't know when Zhang Jiusheng stopped wandering around the street with him, and he didn't know when even his house didn't come. Several times, I saw him, but I pretended not to see him and ran over.

He didn't dare to say much about these things.

Because when these emotions floated from the bottom of his heart, Guan Chu would tell himself that Zhang Jiusheng was the young master of a big family, his father was an imperial doctor in the capital, and he Guan Chu was just a child from a poor family.

Zhang Jiusheng is willing to play with him, it is his honor, not his confidence to kick his nose and face.

Hiding the sourness in his thoughts, Guan Chu rubbed his nose and asked with a smile, "Why did the adults think about coming over today?" ”

"It's nothing, I just want Uncle Guan's food." Zhang Jiusheng smiled.

Although Guan Chu is sometimes a little stupid, he still knows the severity of the matter, there are true and false in Zhang Jiusheng's words, and he also came out consciously, since Zhang Jiusheng didn't want to say it, he didn't ask, the two talked with each other, until Guan Ning entered the house with the food.

"I've been waiting for a long time, Second Young Master." Guan Ning smiled so that the corners of his eyes were folded.

"It's okay, Uncle Guan, it's hard for Uncle Guan to cook me such a table of dishes." Zhang Jiusheng also said with a smile, it seemed that there were no unspeakable things between the two.

The atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious.

originally thought that Zhang Jiusheng would explain something to Guan Chu when he came this time, but until he finished eating, Zhang Jiusheng didn't speak.

When he was standing at the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Jiusheng smiled and asked Guan Chu not to send it, but Guan Chu insisted on sending Zhang Jiusheng out, he also had something to say and wanted to ask, Zhang Jiusheng knew.

"Guan Chu ......"

"Adult ......"

The two spoke in unison, a little embarrassed.

Guan Chu rubbed his nose: "My lord will say it first." ”

"Let's talk first." Zhang Jiusheng, who probably guessed what Guan Chu wanted to say, was emotionally stable, so he pretended to be humble and gave way.

"Your Excellency is here today, not just for a meal, your adult has something to say." Guan Chu glanced at Zhang Jiusheng and saw that Zhang Jiusheng didn't mean to explain, so he continued: "But the adults didn't say it later, why?" Because of me? Or is it because of my dad? ”

"Guan Chu." Zhang Jiusheng opened his mouth and called his name, but he didn't look at him, his eyes kept staring at the road ahead, and then said a sentence that seemed to have nothing to do with the current situation: "Your father loves you very much." ”

Guan Chu sighed in his heart.

What he expected was true, Zhang Jiusheng came this time with a purpose.

And it has something to do with his father.

Guan Chu slowly lowered his head and asked in a voice that was almost muffled in his chest, "My father...... What was done? ”

Guan Chu's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Zhang Jiusheng.

When did this kid get his senses?

Before Zhang Jiusheng could speak, he saw Guan Chu squirm his lips a few times, and squeezed out a line of difficult words from between his teeth: "If my father has done something sorry for the adult, I will apologize for my father first, if my father's mistake is a big rebellion, then what did the adult originally plan to do with my father?" ”

"My Guan Zhutou, where did you hear these things, or did you guess it yourself?" Zhang Jiusheng was surprised.

"Half seen, half guessed." Guan Chu is very honest.

"Then tell me, what did you see?"

Guan Chu hesitated for a while, the speed under his feet slowed down, and finally even stopped, Zhang Jiusheng also slowly stopped, standing not far in front of Guan Chu and looking at him.

"I saw my dad, meeting with someone I didn't know." Guan Chu said that it was tormenting, but he still said it.

Zhang Jiusheng saw the struggle in his eyes, but he was Guan Chu, Zhang Jiusheng's brother who had been good since he was a child, Guan Chu was able to sit in the position of catching heads, and Zhang Jiusheng also had a part of it.

Guan Chu was grateful to Zhang Jiusheng.

This kindness is neither shallow nor deep, but it can make Guan Chu remember it for a lifetime.

But Guan Chu will soon know that this favor will soon add a little guilt.

"Did you hear what they were talking about?" Zhang Jiusheng asked.

Guan Chu hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

Just after this hesitation, Zhang Jiusheng decided that Guan Chu was still lying, after all, he was his own father, and he couldn't kill his relatives in righteousness.

Zhang Jiusheng can understand.

"If you have reservations, then I won't tell you everything, I can only say that your father did something sorry for me."

Guan Chu's eyebrows gradually became solemn, he pursed his lips, the whole person was almost frozen in place, he didn't know what to say, no matter what he said, it was wrong. Since Zhang Jiusheng dared to say this, he naturally took the exact evidence, although Zhang Jiusheng was unreliable in doing things before, he would never make mistakes in people close to him.

"Don't be so nervous, it's not a big deal." Zhang Jiusheng said it easily.

He turned around, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked forward, Guan Chu was stunned, and raised his heels again.

Guan Chu didn't tell Zhang Jiusheng and Pan just now, he had doubts in his heart, and his heavy brows were like blades, and he was frowning at this time, even more aggressive.

Just when he was about to see the gate of Zhang's mansion, Guan Chu grabbed Zhang Jiusheng's arm.

"How?" Zhang Jiusheng stopped for a long time, he seemed to have pinched Guan Chu and couldn't help it.

After getting along for so many years, he knows Guan Chu's temperament very well, and he is by no means a person who can hold back what he says, not to mention, it is about his father.

"My lord, can you tell me what happened to my father?" Guan Chu asked in an almost begging voice.

Zhang Jiusheng looked at him, slowly pulled down the hand that was holding his arm, and pulled the crumpled sleeve for a long time, and said, "Guan Zhutou, be fair, you tell me what you heard, and I tell you what I know, how about it?" ”

Guan Chu still hesitated.

"You can think slowly, but we don't have much time." Zhang Jiusheng finally straightened his face.

"Let me think again."

"Yes." Before Zhang Jiusheng left, he patted Guan Chu on the shoulder, and then returned to Zhang's mansion by himself.

Guan Chu stood alone outside the Zhangfu for a long time, until his feet were numb, then he looked up at the gate of the Zhangfu, turned around and slowly returned home.
