The bright moon hung high, and several guards with lanterns stood tall on the stone steps in front of the main house of the Zhang family.

Zhang Yi'an looked at the main house of Biwa Zhuyong in front of him, this place that he was extremely strange and feared since he was a child, although he was the young master of the Zhang family, but this kind of place was never something that he could come to as an unpopular concubine.

Now that he can enter inside, Zhang Yi'an knows that all this is not because of how hard and excellent he is, and he is favored by his father.

It was only because Gu Shun came to look for him today that his father wanted to inquire about some information, so he summoned himself to come.

He is just an insignificant pawn in his father's ambition, and everything he has is all due to Gu Shun, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness.

Zhang Yi'an didn't think much about it, put the lunch box he brought and hid it under the steps next to him, then took the tea leaves, tidied up his clothes, and entered the house.

In the main hall, Zhang Peien and his wife Li sat on the Taishi chair, and Li was still holding their little daughter Guiyi in his arms.

"Zhang Yi'an visited his father, mother, and little sister."

"Yi'an is here, sit down."

When the people in the house heard the order, they brought a chair and asked Zhang Yi'an to sit down.

Zhang Yi'an hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself: "My son can just stand." This is the Lingnan Maojian that Gu Gongzi asked me to bring you, the new tea just produced this year, I heard the owner of Yuelai Tea House say that it was transported from Lingnan by the Shunfeng Dart Bureau. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Yi'an handed over the tea wrapped in a brocade porcelain jar to his subordinates, and the subordinates handed the jars containing tea leaves to Zhang Peien.

Zhang Peien opened the luxurious brocade covered with bread and opened the lid on the jar, and the room was suddenly filled with a faint fragrance of tea, and he couldn't help nodding and said:

"Well, the aroma is elegant, rich and fragrant, and it is the taste of the top Lingnan Maojian. I heard that the rain in Lingnan this year has caused serious damage to the tea production, and it has been transported to the south of the Yangtze River with great difficulty, and this pot of tea is worth a pot of gold. My golden son-in-law is really willing. ”

Zhang Peien has long regarded Gu Shun as his son-in-law, and he looks forward to the day when his daughter marries him in the future, and the Gu family and the Zhang family really become in-laws.

At that time, he, the head of the Zhang family, can also be Gu Shun's father-in-law, Gu Shun's child's grandfather, and take the big boat of the Gu family.

Even the huge Zhang family will benefit immensely from this.

Thinking of this, Zhang Peien resealed the tea can, opened his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Yi'an, my father really didn't see the wrong person, you must have a good relationship with the Gu family's son at all costs, bring him to the house as soon as possible to play, let him meet Guiyi more, and cultivate his feelings." ”

Mrs. Li said threateningly: "That is, don't forget that the task given to you by your father is to pave the way for Guiyi."

You are the Zhang family, we raised you so big, don't think that if you make friends with your uncle, you will be superior, he is the uncle of the entire Zhang family, the gold is very expensive, and you are just a concubine, weigh your own identity. ”

"How do you talk about this mother-in-law, I believe that Yi An will definitely complete the task, isn't he doing a good job, he can let our aunt come to the door and wait for him, I believe it won't be long before he can be invited to sit at home."

Zhang Yi'an hurriedly said: "The child does not dare to forget the entrustment of his father and mother, Yi'an knows his identity and will definitely try his best to complete the task." ”

Although he said this, Zhang Yi'an knew in his heart that his mother and father were singing black face and white face, and he was just a tool they were looking for temporarily in order to get close to Gu Shun.

Li's impatient attitude just now is not so much pretending, but a true portrayal of her heart.

As the wife of the Zhang family, she is almost the same as her father, they are all the same snobbish, self-serving, and very small-minded. The so-called is not a family and does not enter a family, which is probably the case.

As a person who shouts about his mother, the Li family has never looked at himself squarely, let alone regarded him as a son, and he has a lot of contempt for Zhang Yi'an's biological mother.

Zhang Yi'an's biological mother is also a concubine of the Zhang family, and she has a reputation in the family, but she is not as good as ordinary subordinates.

The young Zhang Yi'an saw everything in his eyes, but he knew that he couldn't change anything, so he could only choose to endure silently.

And now, he finally has the opportunity to change all this, and it is Gu Shun who gives him the possibility to achieve it.

However, Zhang Yi'an felt very guilty in his heart, after all, this friendship was mixed with too many interests and calculations, but Gu Shun could still trust and value himself so much, which made him feel guilty in fear.

He was afraid that all this, like the sun and moon in the mirror, was just a bubble, and he would wake up from a dream at some point.

He is the concubine of the Zhang family, and Gu Shun is the concubine of the Gu family, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the identities of the two with a world of differences.

Gu Shun is the most dazzling son in the entire Jiangnan City, with thousands of people in the spotlight and unlimited scenery, and he is just an ordinary person with no name, and he is not powerful in the family, let alone known by people outside.

Now they can talk and laugh like friends, which really makes him feel terrified and suffered.

For Gu Shun, Zhang Yi'an is just a dispensable subordinate.

But for Zhang Yi'an, Gu Shun is all his hope for changing his life.

"Yi'an, tell my father quickly, what did the young shopkeeper of the Gu family say to you today?"

Zhang Yi'an definitely couldn't tell the truth about the fact that he had taken refuge in Gu Shun, but half-truths and half-truths: "Gu Gongzi came to me today to let me study and gain fame. ”

"Reading? Good decent, why did he let you read. ”

"Gu Gongzi said that he was his godfather, and the Tartar prefect of Jiangnan City wanted to pass on the position of the Jiangnan prefect to him in the future, but he didn't want to be the prefect of Jiangnan City, so he was ready to give up this position to me.

However, in order to convince everyone, Gu Gongzi asked the child to study, and with his fame, he could justifiably pass on the position of prefect to the child. ”

Although the Great Qi was a court established by the Hu people, it still continued many of the old systems of the previous dynasties.

For example, the important official positions of Daqi, in order not to fall into the hands of the Han people, all adopt the hereditary inheritance system, and the son inherits the father's throne, so that from generation to generation, the power can be firmly in the hands of the Xianbei people.

However, some official positions are punished by the clan for some special reasons, such as family promotion, breaking the law, or suddenly dying in office, with no children and no heirs.

When these situations occur, they will be selected or appointed by themselves or the imperial court to fill the vacancies, and all the officials who are selected and hired must have military merits or fame, and this is also for the purpose of selecting and promoting merit and ability, and ensuring the overall quality of the new officials.

Because the Tartar prefect of Jiangnan City has no children under his knees, and Gu Shun is his only godson, according to the hereditary official system of Daqi, it is not surprising that Gu Shun will take over the prefect of Jiangnan City in the future.

There is no need to inquire about this matter, it has long been rumored in Jiangnan City.

Now that Zhang Peien heard about this from his son's mouth, he was no less surprised than Zhang Yi'an looked like at that time.

Gu Shun's words also mean that he personally admitted that the gossip in Jiangnan City turned out to be true.

What shocked Zhang Peien the most was that his son had gone out of his shit luck, and Gu Shun wanted to give him such an important position as the prefect.

Zhang Peien stood up directly in disbelief and asked again, "What you just said is true, Gu Shun really wants to pass on the position of the prefect of Jiangnan City to you?" ”

"The child doesn't dare to have half a lie, it's all said by Gu Gongzi himself."

Zhang Yi'an doesn't need to hide this matter and can't hide it, and the news that Gu Shun may take over as the prefect of Jiangnan has long been a hot topic on the streets.

When he goes to study, he always has to have a convincing reason to explain this matter and the discernment, just to test his father's attitude.

I saw Zhang Peien dancing excitedly, and said ecstatically: "Great, it's really good, I said that it must be right for you to befriend the young shopkeeper of the Gu family, once this matter is done, the Zhang family can go further and become a powerful person from a big family." ”
