Weiyang Mountain. Wu family. Gate. Zhu Zhen stood at the door and thought for a moment. Thinking that it was not easy for me to come out, enter that door, and enter this place that I have hated for many years, the contradiction in my heart strongly stimulated me.

She hesitated for a while, and simply went to the place where she had played with Chen Ziqi Lilac many years ago.

Passing through a few dirt paths, and then passing through a street market, in the street market, she saw a man and a woman coming out of the inn, the man was about the same age as herself, and the woman was slightly younger, both of whom were extremely delicate, these two people were Chen Ziqi and Lilac. But because they haven't seen each other for many years, Zhu Zhen can't recognize these two people at all.

It's just a vague feeling that there are some inexplicable feelings in my heart.

The two men didn't say much, they walked one after the other, and slowly disappeared into the market.

Zhu Zhen soon came to the familiar place where they played in childhood, thinking of the weak and timid Lilac, and the innocent Chen Ziqi who was full of doubts and curiosity about the world, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

She followed the road again, and saw a fat body, bending down to collect dry firewood, and when she looked at it, it was Widow Ding.

"Lilac?" Zhu Zhen said softly to Widow Ding.

Widow Ding raised her head and was startled when she saw Zhu Zhen, "Oh, my Heavenly King Laozi, isn't this Zhu Zhen?" ”

Zhu Zhen smiled slightly, "Lilac Niang, it's me, I'm Zhu Zhen." Widow Ding looked at Zhu Zhen, but saw that she was calm and calm, her face was not rippling, and her eyes were a little bloodshot.

Suddenly, his eyes moistened. "Zhu Zhen girl, I haven't seen you for so many years, I'm afraid I won't see you in the future, but today I am standing alive in front of me, so many years, but I have suffered. Now that I'm back today, it's good to be back. ”

"Lilac Niang, where's Lilac?" Zhu Zhen asked Widow Ding, because she also missed Zhu Zhen more at the moment.

"Lilac that girl is really wild, a few days ago I went to Hantan Temple to pray for blessings and make wishes, and on the way back, I shouted to go to the market, but I haven't returned. If she comes back, seeing that I don't break her legs, it's really too difficult to manage, and the female aunt is difficult to manage, and I'm really angry in my heart. ”

"Oh, since I've gone to the market, I guess it's fine, and if there are friends I know and make in the market, it's even better."

"Yes, there is, Shi Xiangyun from the tailor shop is more familiar with her, maybe I'm going to find her."

"By the way, Lilac Niang, that, what about Chen Ziqi? He's okay too? When Widow Ding heard Chen Ziqi's name, she showed a sad expression in her heart, "Alas, that poor child, who jumped off the cold pool eight years ago, is still unknown about his life and death. There is no one in life, and no body in death. also took pity on Chen Wuyao and the two of them. Just an only son. ”

When Zhu Zhen heard Widow Ding's words, she was stunned, swallowed her saliva, as if the whole world had disappeared, her eyes were dark, and she couldn't see anything.

Widow Ding stared at Zhu Zhen, "Zhu Zhen, Zhu Zhen, what's wrong with you?" Don't be sad, human life, the king of heaven can accept whatever he wants, and he doesn't look at the injustice in this world. ”

Zhu Zhen slowly eased up, turned around and wiped her tears, "Lilac Niang, I'm leaving, thank you, tell Lilac, I'll miss her." Then he ran away.

Widow Ding shouted at the top of her voice, "Zhu Zhen, Zhu Zhen." ”

Man disappears into the universe.

That Chen Ziqi was really cowardly, why couldn't she stand it and jumped off the cold pool, she really couldn't figure it out.

Zhu Zhen ran all the way, so she ran straight to Wu's house, knocked on the door, Master Cai Dian opened the door, looked at Zhu Zhen, and looked puzzled, "Zhu Zhen, didn't you go home to see your father?" Why did you come back so early? ”

Zhu Zhen didn't reply to Cai Dian's words, and hurriedly entered his room, fell on his bed, and covered his head with a quilt. "This Zhu Zhen." Cai Dian muttered silently.

In the evening, Wu You returned from outside, and then went to Wu Shide with joy.

"My son Woodsd, my father has come to see you." Wu You said loudly towards Wu Shide's room from afar.

"Dad, you just come in, what's going on today, look at you with a happy look?"

Wu You said, "In a few days it will be the 60th birthday of Guo Jingqi of the Guo family, the Guo family is in Weiyang City, and it is a well-known figure second only to the city lord, and my father and Guo Jingqi have been friends for decades, this time I will take you to meet those people of the Guo family, get to know each other, and get closer in the future, which will also be beneficial to you." By the way, the most important thing is that my father wants you to get acquainted with that Guo family girl, Guo Jingqi's youngest daughter, one or two years younger than you, seems to be called Guo Zimei, that girl is beautiful, dignified and generous, and has elegant manners, she is really a beautiful girl. ”

"Dad, look at me, this leg, people may not be disgusted, so don't go to see it." Woodsd said.

"I told Guo Jingqi about this, but people didn't care at all, and said that they could find the best doctor in the entire Weiyang Mountain and Weiyang City to help you."

"Dad, I still don't want it, it's not convenient for me to travel here, and it will be embarrassing when the time comes."

"Don't worry, my son Wu Shide, dad will help you find a girl to accompany you, you can definitely do it."

"Dad, if you really want to go, I don't want you to find another girl, just Zhu Zhen."

"This, this, then if you think you can trust it, Dad will do whatever you want, let that Zhu Zhen accompany you, okay?"

"Okay, then let's settle it first." After saying that, Wu You helped Wu Shide tidy up the clothes on his body, and he didn't find a mother for Wu Shide for so many years, and he felt that he had snubbed Wu Shide.

Wu You was about to leave, and the butler Tang Gong Tang outside the door walked up, "Master Wu, what are you going to eat today?" ”

Wu You said in his mouth, "Whatever." Then he walked away without looking back.

Tang Gong came to ask Wu Shide again, "Wu Gongzi, what about you?" What is there to command? ”

Wu Shide then remembered Zhu Zhen, "Steward Tang, then Zhu Zhen can return to my Wu family." ”

Tang Gong said, "It's back." Woodsd soothed his mind.

"Then just let Fan really do something, okay? By the way, remember to get some food for that Zhu Zhen and deduct some from my food. ”

"Okay, Master Wu, I remember. Then I'll go down first. ”

"Let's go, Steward Tang."

Weiyang City. Guo family. Guo Jingqi was sitting in front of the hall, and Guo Zimei, the youngest daughter of the Guo family, was serving on the side, "Dad, come, my daughter will help you beat your back," Guo Zimei said and came to beat Guo Jingqi's back, "Dad, you, this body is really hard, it will be your sixtieth birthday in a few days, and our Guo family will be lively again." Surely you are happy? ”

Guo Jingqi heard the words of his daughter Guo Zimei, and his heart was happy.

"Zimei, my father can have today, such a status, such a power and such glory, it is my father's hard work and hard work in the past few decades. On your birthday in a few days, you will see that the city lord of Weiyang City, the Wu family of Weiyang Mountain, and some other friends of my father will come over, which will also allow you to meet the big people and big scenes. ”

This Guo Zimei also knows that her father Guo Jingqi has been gathering strength and status for the Guo family for so many years, and once suffered from lack of hard work, occasional heartache, and sometimes serious mental illness. As soon as people get old, their bones are weak, and they often have unbearable back pain.

Guo Jingqi sat upright, looking at everything in front of him, looking at the Guo family's compound in Weiyang City, full of emotion.

It's just that as he gets old day by day, the business will also decline day by day in the day of his own life.

"Your eldest brother Guo Ziting has not been able to improve his knowledge since he was a child, and he is only idle, which is really not reassuring."

"Dad, my eldest brother is like that, you beat him up and spoil him, so that he is so unmotivated." Guo Jingqi was silent, and then sighed.

"It's all my fault. Zimei, Dad is counting on you, to be by my side, Dad has seen that you have been serious since you were a child, you have a wide range of knowledge, and you are capable? It's a pity that it's a woman, if not, my father would have handed over this business to you to take care of. ”

"Dad, you, don't worry so much, you have to take care of your body, I think, my eldest brother Guo Ziting will also grow up."

"Just him? Hmph, I just don't believe he can do anything big. Zimei, your mother passed away when you were very young, and your father won't take care of you, do you hate your father? ”

"Dad, what do you say? How could I hate you? My mother just didn't have a good life, so she left early. ”

Guo Jingqi actually never told Guo Zimei what happened, and it is not very clear how her mother died, only said in Guo Jingqi's mouth that her mother died after a serious illness.

In fact, that year, after Guo Zimei's mother gave birth to Guo Zimei, she knew that Guo Jingqi knew a woman from a Weiyang Mountain family, and met the woman and gave birth to a son.

The folk woman also hid without a trace in order to avoid all this, and for the sake of her son, Guo Jingqi never saw it again. And this son is Guo Ziheng.

"Your mother, if you don't have that blessed life, when you live, you can't live well, so I will leave you and your eldest brother Guo Ziting. Alas, if she could see her daughter so good, she would be blind. Guo Jingqi said.

"Dad, the past is over, what do you want it to do? Don't you still have your eldest brother Guo Ziting and me by your side? No matter how angry the eldest brother is, that is also your own son. ”

Guo Jingqi didn't speak, thinking that so many years have passed in a flash, and his children have grown up, and he is also very pleased.

"Zimei, you have also reached the marriageable age, and in a few days, my father will look for you to find a handsome man."

"Dad, I don't want to get married, I want to take care of you all the time."

"Silly girl, it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and I can't miss a step on the road I should take. I heard that Wu Shide, the son of Wu family and Wu You, is very good, and he has grown a little in recent years, that is, he has a leg that is not very easy to use, and he needs to be pushed and taken care of. Remember to walk closer to Nawsted that day and see how things were going. ”

"Okay, Dad, I remember."
