Chapter 149: Friend, Calculate
"Drive~" The carriage started slowly.
In the onlookers of countless passers-by, two tall horses with chestnut red fur and snow-white legs and feet pulled the carriage inlaid with gold and jade into the distance.
Zhang Peien stared directly at the two horses, and said with envy in his eyes: "It is worthy of Gu Fu, those two horses are the sweat and blood of the Western Regions, one can be worth ten thousand gold, and it is still priceless."
Now that the Hu people rule the world, the Central Plains are constantly plagued, the northern border passes are firmly controlled by the Hu people's army, and Longxi, which leads to the Western Regions, is occupied by the Demon Sect, and the Central Plains can no longer find such excellent horses.
Alas, I really pity my big Han Jiangshan, who used to be in Weijia and the world, but now he has fallen into this way. ”
Mrs. Li stared at the golden decoration on the carriage and sighed: "It is worthy of the Gu family, even the accessories of the carriage are so luxurious, I don't know if Zhang Yi'an's kid can compete for some anger and bring our golden son-in-law home, so that Guiyi can get close to him." ”
"This kind of thing needs to be trickled for a long time, and you can't be in a hurry, anyway, the matter of the marriage contract is already known to everyone in Jiangnan City, and the shopkeeper Gu has already nodded and agreed. For the sake of the Gu family's face and reputation, it is impossible for the Gu family to regret it.
Gu Shun, as the only heir of the Gu family, as long as Gui Yi marries him and gives birth to a child, then this child will also have the wealth of the Zhang family and the Gu family.
Now, as long as Gui Yi and Gu Shun meet more and cultivate their feelings, I believe that with the friendship of their two childhood sweethearts, they will definitely be able to get married as soon as possible and give birth to an heir. ”
The maid of the house brought Zhang Peien's youngest daughter from the house at this time, and Zhang Guiyi, who was not yet born, was set up in the Kun book and married Gu Shun.
"Why did you come so slowly, everyone is gone." Mrs. Li said to the maid.
Zhang Peien took her daughter from the maid's hand, pointed to the direction of the carriage and left:
"Guiyi, that's your future husband, you remember his name, Gu Shun. In the future, you must serve him well and become a good wife and mother. ”
Although the five-year-old Guiyi didn't know what a husband was, she looked at the distant carriage with big eyes and nodded heavily.
In the carriage, Zhang Yi'an saw that Gu Shun came to wait for him in front of Zhang's Mansion in person, and he also greeted himself into the carriage, and said with sincere fear: "Brother Gu, thank you for coming to Zhang's Mansion to find me today." ”
Although Zhang Yi'an is Zhang Peien's son, he is the son of the family after all, and his biological mother's status in the house is not high, even lower than that of ordinary servants, and his house is destined to not share much family business in the future.
The reason why he was able to have the opportunity to show his face between the Zhang family and the Gu family was entirely because he was about the same age as Gu Shun.
He is Zhang Peien's youngest son, so he has high hopes for getting close to Gu Shun.
If it weren't for Gu Shun, then his life would be destined to be mediocre and never come out.
Since he made friends with Gu Shun, he has received more attention from his father, and the subordinates in the mansion who originally despised him have also become polite to him and his mother.
Although Zhang Yi'an is only seven years old this year, his years of experience in Zhang's mansion have forged his maturity and strategy far beyond his peers.
He knew that Gu Shun was the only hope and biggest reliance he could rely on now, and he had to do his best to maintain this friendship with Gu Shun.
In this way, whether it is his status in the Zhang family, or in the future, he will defect to Gu Shun and become the manager of the dart bureau or the commercial bank.
Either path will have a broader future than his previous life.
It's just that in the past few days, Gu Shun has been practicing martial arts in the house and has not gone out, and Zhang Yi'an can only stay at home all day.
He got those elder brothers and a few unruly subordinates, and he had long been jealous of the huge Zhang Mansion, why was only Zhang Yi'an able to get close to Gu Shun and befriend him, so when he saw Zhang Yi'an losing power, he came to trouble the two of them.
Zhang Yi'an has never learned martial arts, he is weak and weak, so naturally he only has to be bullied, he could have fought with them desperately, but for the sake of his mother, he could only choose to forbear.
And Gu Shun came to Zhang's house to find himself this time, and inadvertently helped Zhang Yi'an and improved his status in the mansion.
He is so close to Gu Shun, even in the name of the Gu family, he is in Zhangfu, and there should be few people who dare to bully him and his mother anymore.
Gu Shun saw everything he was thinking in his eyes and said, "Brother Yi'an, why bother to say thank you, we brothers don't have to be polite to each other." If Brother Yi An has any trouble, you can come to the Gu Mansion to find me at any time, and I will definitely try my best to help. ”
Zhang Yi'an was honored and said: "Brother Gu can have such an idea, it makes me flattered, Brother Gu is the concubine of the Gu family, I am just the concubine of the Zhang family, I really dare not bother Brother Gu, and please accept Yi An's worship." ”
Gu Shun couldn't help but laugh and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why is Brother Yi An becoming more and more polite to me." We are just friends, and there are not so many hooks and turns between friends. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yi'an bit his lip unconsciously, and said very moved: "Well, friend." ”
In fact, Gu Shun said that, Gu Shun had already seen what Zhang Yi was thinking clearly through mind reading.
Zhang Yi'an's approach to him was deliberately arranged by Zhang Peien, and Gu Shun knew about this early on.
Zhang Yi'an has a calculation for himself, although he also has a plan to expand his interests in the Zhang family by forming a good alliance with himself, which is understandable.
But Zhang Yi'an did not have any conspiracy and calculation against him in private, and he trusted him very much in his heart and sincerely befriended him. This is an important reason why Gu Shun chose to let him hang out with him in Jiangnan City.
I have to say that with mind reading, whoever thinks in their hearts can see it clearly, and it is easy to use.
Those who deliberately curry favor with themselves, but actually sneer at themselves, and just want to cling to the power of the Gu family, Gu Shun kicked them all out at first sight.
After a long while, Zhang Yi'an suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Gu, I don't know what happened to me when you came to find my little brother?" ”
"Don't worry, let's go to the teahouse first, and I'll talk to you slowly when we get there." Gu Shun deliberately sold a pass.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the Yuelai Teahouse.
The two big horses have attracted the attention of countless residents and tourists of Jiangnan City.
"Look, it's the carriage of the Gu Mansion, those two horses are really handsome, if I can ride on such a tall horse and parade the streets when I get married, not to mention the scenery."
"Wake up, such horses are worth a lot of money, and you can't afford to feed them just hay every day. Looking at Jiangnan City, only the Gu family has the strength to raise such a precious thing. ”
"If I can go to Gu and raise horses, this life will be worth it."
"Isn't the imperial court a limited horse order, and doesn't allow the people to privately raise horses for battle, how can this Gu family have such good horses." An out-of-town merchant asked suspiciously.
"At first glance, you are a foreigner, do you know that this Gu Gongzi sitting in the carriage is amazing, his father is the shopkeeper of the Shunfeng Dart Bureau, his mother is the owner of Yunda Commercial Bank, and his godfather is the prefect of Jiangnan Province.
And this Gu Gongzi is humble and low-key, and he doesn't have the temperament of a gentleman at all, who do you say has such a family background, and he still doesn't let go of indulging in fun and doing whatever he wants.
But he is just an approachable, humble corporal and a young man, with an excellent reputation and reputation among the residents of Jiangnan City, plus everyone has been more or less taken care of by the Gu family, he is definitely the pearl of Jiangnan City, and everyone cares for him. ”
Speaking of this, the Jiangnan City resident couldn't stop nodding in admiration, and his pride was overflowing, as if Gu Shun was his own son.
