Chapter Twenty-Eight: Planning Xiangyang

As soon as the morning dawned, Qu Gao got up, and before he had time to wash, he strode out of the door and walked towards the courtyard of his father-in-law Zhang You.

He thought about it all night and decided to ask Zhang You clearly, asking him what he was planning to do, and whether he really wanted to surrender to Zhao Zhao? Qu Gao believes that even if the Sima family treats Zhang You harshly, he has been a taishou in Xiangyang for 20 years, and he will not send the people of Xiangyang into the tiger's mouth so ruthlessly.

But in case...... What if you really want to demote Zhao? What should Qu Gao do? He is Zhang Shiqi's father and his father-in-law, what can he do?

Unconsciously came to Zhang You's hospital, and happened to meet Steward Du, Du Qing asked: "Childe is so early, but there is something urgent to see the adult?" Qu Gao said: "Please also ask Steward Du to pass it on." Du Qing entered the courtyard, and after a while, he came out and said with a smile: "Please go to the side hall." Qu Gao thanked him, and when he walked to the side hall, Zhang Youzheng lowered his eyes and asked impatiently, "What's the matter with Gao'er?" ”

Qu Gao took a deep breath and said: "Yesterday, the third brother was overjoyed, and when the younger son-in-law received the guests, he heard a few rumors in the market, saying that his father-in-law had dealings with Zhao and was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, so he rushed to report to his father-in-law early in the morning. ”

Zhang You's face was suspicious, his squinted eyes shot a fine light, stared at Qu Gao, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you hear that?" Qu Gao had already prepared his words, but before he could speak, Zhang You said: "Yes, I want to cooperate with Zhao Guo and give Xiangyang, I am the king of Luoyang of Zhao State!" ”

Qu Gao was shocked, and hurriedly begged: "Father-in-law thinks twice, the Zhao people are brutal, annihilating human nature, and the lost Jin people in the north have almost no survival, if you do this, the people of Xiangyang will be wiped out." What's more, the Shi family is cunning and nepotistic, even if the father-in-law demotes Zhao, the Hu people may not keep their promises! ”

Qu Gao burst into tears, and every word was beautiful, and Zhang You was also moved by what he said, and after a pause, Zhang You said: "Don't worry, Gao'er, I have known Shi Hu for 30 years, and he will not deceive me." He also promised not to hurt the people of Xiangyang, Gao'er rest assured, your parents and clan, and your father-in-law will definitely be preserved. ”

"Father-in-law, don't ......"

"Enough!" Zhang You interrupted: "Gao'er, although you are not my own child, but you are my most proud child, I have told you enough, don't be ignorant!" Zhang You's angry voice became more and more fierce, and when he said the last sentence, he already had a hidden killing intent.

This result was also expected by Qu Gao, knowing that it was useless to persuade again, Qu Gao straightened up, stabilized his breath, and said: "Since my father-in-law has made up his mind, please protect Shiqi's mother and son no matter what." The corners of Zhang You's mouth twitched twice, and he snorted heavily under his nose, and said, "Shiqi is about to give birth, you take good care of her, don't come again." Qu Gao bowed to Zhang You expressionlessly, turned around and walked out of the door, just out of the door, saw Zhang hiding in the corner, stretched out his arm, Zhang grinned, stepped forward, took Qu Gao's arm, and the two walked out together.

Back in the courtyard, Zhang leaned on Qu Gao's arms, his face was full of happy smiles, and whispered: "The husband doesn't have to be embarrassed by Shiqi, Shiqi is not a lady, and our children must be created." If the husband doesn't like this, we can go to the south of the Yangtze River, and hear that the spring color of Jinnan is as beautiful as an ink painting, the drizzle is not wet, and the willows are like demons. ”

Yes, the scenery in Jiangnan is extremely beautiful, if Xiangyang can't stay in the end, it's okay to go to Jiangnan, but now everything is still undecided, Qu Gao thought for a while, and said gently: "Shiqi, you go back to my house first, let your mother take care of you to give birth, okay?" Zhang Shiqi raised his head and wanted to ask something, but hesitated for a moment and then stopped, smiled lightly, and replied: "Okay!" ”

Sent Zhang back to Qufu, Qu Gao rushed to Changle Fang non-stop, before entering the door, saw a doctor coming out of the door, Qu Gao was puzzled, thinking of Zhu Yan's look a few days ago, stopped the doctor, and asked a woman to see a doctor, according to the doctor, it should be Zhu Yan is good, but when asked about the condition, the doctor refused to say. Qu Gao was helpless, and he was worried, so he had to rush upstairs immediately.

As soon as the doctor left, the door was not closed, and as soon as Qu Gao rushed into the door, he saw Zhu Yan lying on the bed with a sallow face, Chang Fuhai and a maid guarding him. Zhu Yan looked up and saw Qu Gao, and exclaimed loudly: "Uncle Chang, quickly drive him out!" ”

Qu Gao was taken out of the room by Chang Fuhai, and hurriedly asked, "Ah Yan, what's wrong?" Such an ugly face? Chang Fuhai muffled a few times and replied, "Nizi won't let you tell you." Qu Gao was soft and hard, and Chang Fuhai told the truth.

It turned out that a few months ago, Zhu Yan got the news from General Zu Ti that Zhang You and Shi Hu had been exchanging letters, and from a letter robbed by Zu Ti's army, Zhang You had already betrayed him. Zhu Yan knew that if Zhang You surrendered to Shihu, Xiangyang would suffer a catastrophe, so he transferred the property in his hand to Changsha, and handed over these things to Chang Fuhai. But Zhu Yan plans to make the Qu family a scholar, and this is a great opportunity! Since the Hu people caused trouble in the north, many scholars moved their families to the south, purchased industries in the south of the Yangtze River, and settled down. Zhu Yan rushed to Changsha in person, in addition to purchasing land shops in the name of the Qu family, but also in the name of Qu Yanping to cultivate good deeds, and asked Changsha celebrities to write biography for the three generations of the Qu family, and the documents of the officials at both ends are also in place.

Changsha is humid, and it is rainy after autumn, these things Zhu Yan does not worry about others, they are all hands-on, her body is already thin, and she is infected with wind and cold when she comes and goes. Fortunately, everything was done, but on the way back to Xiangyang, she suddenly encountered wind and waves on the river, and the boat that Zhu Yan was riding was overturned by the wind and waves.

Qu Gao listened to Chang Fuhai say, at first he was worried, and then he was in pain, he never knew that Zhu Yan had done so many things for him, he only said that Zhu Yan's hard work was all for the original sentence.

"Ah Yan wants to do some business in Xiangyang, if the time is good, Ah Yan will set up his own door and become the suzerain of a clan."

Since coming to Xiangyang, in less than a year, Zhu Yan has made her business bigger and bigger, and her current industrial strength is no longer inferior to an ordinary scholar, but she has never set up her own door, nor has she become the suzerain of a clan. Zhu Yan has always said that in the name of the Qu family, it is for the convenience of business, and making the Qu family a scholar is also to reduce business taxes, but the industries she has worked hard to manage are all used to build the Qu family.

"Chirp~" The door opened, and the maid said: "Girl, please let the two of you in." ”
