Chapter 167: Visiting Zhang's Family
Gu Shun actually wanted to go to Zhang Yi'an's house for a long time.
By reading his heart, Gu Shun learned that Zhang Yi'an was actually not doing well at all in the Zhang family, and his family was surrounded by walls and bullied.
As a concubine who can't get his father's attention, his biological mother is not from a high background and is not favored, and the two of them have been excluded by Mrs. Zhang in the Zhang family.
Although Zhang Yi'an was miserable in Zhang's family, this invisibly helped his plan.
He wants to completely subdue the hearts of the people, let Zhang Yi'an leave the Zhang family, truly use it for himself, and cultivate him as a confidant.
Gu Shun still lacks the last step, which is to completely shatter Zhang Yi'an's bullied life, making him form a strong sense of contrast and redemption.
On the one hand, the bullying Zhang family is pressing forward step by step, and on the other hand, the caring Gu family frequently throws olive branches, When the two choices are placed in front of him together, this decision must not be difficult to make.
Gu Shun's various favors and care before, were all psychological pressure on him, and the more Gu Shun gave, the higher his guilt and loyalty to Gu Shun became.
Similarly, the closer Gu Shun got to him, the greater the threat and jealousy would be for Mrs. Zhang and other people who had long been unaccustomed to their mothers, and they naturally wanted to find ways to do something to him.
Gu Shun's move was to use the hands of the Zhang family to completely tie Zhang Yi'an to his chariot.
Hearing that Gu Shun was going to help send these books home, Zhang Yi'an hurriedly said: "Brother Zhou is polite, let's come, Gu Gongzi can lend me these books to read, I'm already very happy." also bothered Brother Zhou to send it to Yi An, Yi An was grateful, how could he let Brother Zhou run again. ”
Gu Shun said: "Don't say that, Zhang Gongzi, the shopkeeper instructed, let the little one send these books to your house in person, and by the way, see what Zhang Gongzi still lacks in his house, and he can help make up for some, so that Zhang Gongzi can study with peace of mind."
Gu Gongzi has been unable to go out every day recently because he has practiced martial arts with his master, and he may be negligent and negligent to Zhang Gongzi, so he specially asked the little one to take more care of Zhang Gongzi, and I hope that Zhang Gongzi will not shirk. ”
Zhang Yi'an was very moved when he heard this: "Brother Gu is like a brother to me, and he cares about me, which makes Yi'an panic. Please ask Brother Zhou to tell Brother Gu for me, Gu Gongzi's great kindness, Yi An will never forget, and will repay this kindness for the rest of his life.
Since it is Gu Gongzi's arrangement, then Brother Zhou, please go back with me for a cup of tea, Yi'an has nothing to entertain, if you don't dislike it, please stay for a light meal. ”
Gu Shun, "How can this be so troublesome to Zhang Gongzi, the little one is just a subordinate, after completing the task ordered by the master, he will deliver the book and leave." ”
After speaking, Gu Shun rewrapped the book he brought with the baggage, and was just about to carry it on his back, Zhang Yi'an hurriedly reached out and took the burden to himself, "I'll come, Brother Zhou."
The four books and five classics plus all kinds of commentaries on the scriptures, the weight of dozens of books, large and small, is not light, Gu Shun is a martial artist, his strength is very comparable, it is natural and easy to mention, Zhang Yi'an is a seven-year-old child no matter how he says it, and it is quite difficult to memorize.
Gu Shun smiled and said, "Gongzi Zhang, let me come, you are the young master of the Zhang family, how can you do such a rough job." ”
As he spoke, Gu Shun picked up a large package containing the book.
"Let Brother Zhou smile, I can actually move, why don't you let me hold a few books." Zhou Yi'an fought again.
"Zhang Gongzi don't be polite, just such a little book, no problem."
Mr. Yuan next to him exclaimed: "Good arm strength, presumably Brother Zhou is a martial artist." ”
"I haven't even felt the strength in him, even the subordinates of the Gu Mansion are all internal strength martial artists with restrained strength, it seems that this Gu Mansion is really hidden."
"It's just that I barely learned a few tricks with the master of the dart bureau, after all, the master of the dart game is the dart game, and there was an accident before, in order to protect everyone's safety, the master of the dart bureau was okay to teach us some self-defense tricks, and I learned a little bit of skin." Gu Shun lied.
"Brother Zhou's strength is deep and introverted, not to mention that he is also a martial artist, and if he can follow the shopkeeper of Gu Fushao, his skills must be extraordinary."
"What's the matter, I'll have more strength, it's okay to do some rough work, if I really have the ability, I'll go to the dart."
The two of them talked back and forth for a while, and after a few tentative words to each other, they stopped.
Zhang Yi'an said: "Mr. Yuan, the tea stall has also closed today, Brother Zhou is still waiting for me here, why don't you talk about it today, thank Mr. Yuan for taking the time to explain the Spring and Autumn Period to Yi An in the past two days, Yi An is grateful, if he has the opportunity to repay in the future, Yi An will do his best." ”
"It's just a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about, it just so happens that I don't have anything to do now, I want to go home with Zhang Gongzi to see, I don't know what Zhang Gongzi thinks."
"This child has a calm personality, is smart and studious, and is humble and polite in dealing with others, neither humble nor arrogant, and even has a good friendship with the young shopkeeper of the Gu family, it can be seen that the young shopkeeper appreciates him quite much, and I don't know what kind of family can cultivate such a child.
I just took the opportunity to visit his parents, and when I brought him to the capital in the future, I would definitely become a rare talent."
"Mr. Yuan is willing to go, Yi'an is naturally welcome, but Yi'an really has nothing to entertain at home, and I hope Mr. Yuan will not dislike it."
Gu Shun frowned, he didn't expect that he would kill a prince of the capital who robbed people halfway, Zhang Yi'an was his subordinate, he dared to rob people in front of him, how could Gu Shun let him succeed easily.
However, this also happened to be an opportunity to test Zhang Yi'an's loyalty, and Gu Shun was ready to make another move.
After making up their minds, the three of them set off quickly, each holding an oil-paper umbrella, led the way by Zhang Yi'an in front, and came to the door of Zhang's house after a while.
In front of Zhang's house, the two guards were dressed in plain cyan robes, standing under the eaves, looking at the fluctuating strength on their bodies, Gu Shun recognized at a glance that these two were foreign martial artists.
Martial artists are people who practice martial arts all year round, if it is not for a solid family background or some adventures to worship a famous teacher, ordinary families are busy with their livelihoods, it is impossible for children to practice martial arts every day, let alone get a few martial arts moves for cultivation.
Therefore, compared with the vast masses and martial artists who have no martial arts strength, the number of martial artists is only a minority after all.
And those who can hire warriors to take care of their homes and homes, even if they are just outsiders, are not a few of them every month.
The Zhang family can have this background, and it can be regarded as worthy of the four major families in Jiangnan City.
No wonder the children of Jiangnan City are squeezing their heads and want to squeeze into the downwind dart game, after entering, they can not only receive systematic training, gather strength to become martial artists, and take darts to goods, but also lucky ones are favored by darts and accepted as apprentices.
Even if you come out of the dart game and become an enshriner or guest in a small family, it is much better than farming and serving.
When a guard saw Zhang Yi'an and the two people following behind him, he stepped forward and asked angrily, "Why did the sixth young master come back so early today, I don't know who these two are behind him?" ”
"This Mr. Yuan is a friend I met on the street, and I specially invited him to sit at my house. The other one is the Gu family's eldest brother Zhou. Zhang Yi'an introduced.
Gu Shun said: "I was ordered by the young shopkeeper to make a special trip to deliver something to your young master. ”
The guard looked at the large bag of things Gu Shun was carrying, swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and hurriedly said: "It turned out to be the person who was the shopkeeper of the Gu family, please come in quickly, do you need me to inform the lord and the lady." ”
"Don't bother, I'll put my things down and leave."
"Come in, three." The guards dodged the side door next to it, letting the three inside.
