102 Chapter 102

Gu Changlin asked Cheng Fengyan to send someone to collect Zhou Qing's news after Zhou Qing's meeting tried to find it this time, but Gu Yi asked people to do it early.

Among the group of people who came to protect them, there were his people.

Therefore, he also knows the address of the Zhou family.

After a while, Gu Yi appeared outside a big mansion.

Roll over and go in.

At the beginning, the main thing was to investigate the relationship between the characters of the Zhou family, Zhou Qing's past, etc., and I didn't pay attention to which room Zhou Qing lived in, but this was not a big deal, for Gu Yi, it just took some time to find it.

The Yiyang Hou Mansion is said to be the Hou Mansion, but it is just a family that has long declined in the capital, and among the many royal relatives and nobles, they are not ranked at all. Zhou Qing's father is the second son of the Hou Mansion, and the big house is the one who inherits the Hou Mansion, but Zhou Boss is completely a greedy and lustful gentleman, so old, he is obsessed with women, and he has no ability.

The entire Hou Mansion was supported by Zhou Qing's father, a five-grade official.

Don't look at this official position, it doesn't seem to be of a high grade, but the officials have always been hot stoves and hold real power, so the life of the Zhou family is still very good.

But maybe it's because the big house and the second room are so different from the family, so the relationship between the two brothers is actually not very good, after all, as the eldest brother, since he was a child, he is not as good as the second child, and his parents also prefer the second child.

And the second room is not necessarily comfortable, the boss is useless but gets a knighthood, how unfair it is.

But the big house has to rely on the second room to support the family, and the second room doesn't want to really divide the family, and it has nothing to do with the title at all.

In ancient times, the courtyards where people of different status lived were generally determined, and the Hou Mansion was too big, so he went around a few times, and in the end he quickly found someone.

Don't look at Gu Yi who waited for his father and Cheng Fengyan and others to fall asleep before coming out, but in fact, today's time is not too late, the people in the Hou Mansion have basically not slept yet, Gu Changlin and Cheng Fengyan They slept so early, just because they just finished the exam today, and after so many days of the exam, they couldn't eat or sleep well in the examination room, and finally finished the exam, and their spirits were relaxed, so they naturally slept early.

When Gu Yi saw Zhou Qing, the opportunity came just right.

Zhou Qing was alone to find someone.

She saw Gu Changlin and the others at the last moment today, but they were far away, and the other party was running fast, so she couldn't catch up at all, which also made Zhou Qing understand that the other party was deliberately avoiding her.

So after thinking about it, Zhou Qing still made up her mind, she had to let her father and mother take action in this matter.

Otherwise, Gu Changlin would never agree to her.

When people saw her, they wanted to run, and if they said a few words, they had to find an excuse to leave, and they couldn't cultivate feelings at all, Zhou Qing was not such a patient person, she felt that it would be good to let his father force Gu Changlin to agree.

As long as they have a relationship, when the time goes by, emotions will naturally come, and Gu Changlin will definitely be responsible for her.

She knew that a decent person like Gu Changlin could only really get in touch with the other party's heart through this forcible way.

At night, there were lights hanging everywhere in the Hou Mansion, and a few candle-lit lamps were placed in the pond, which made the night very good, and Zhou Qing walked by the pond alone.

In the shadows, a figure walked out.

Suddenly, an immature female voice sounded, "Mother, mother." โ€

The little girl ran after her.

The figure in the shadows retreated into the rockery.

Zhou Qing turned her head and responded, "Here." โ€

The little girl ran over and grabbed Zhou Qing's hand, Zhou Qing frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?" โ€

Gu Yi watched quietly, this was the little girl she saved at the beginning, Zhou Qing's daughter.

In contrast, Zhou Qing seems to be a beautiful girl, but her bones are strong, she has to get what she wants, and this daughter is much quieter and silent, and when she is on the boat, she often doesn't talk much, and occasionally when she opens her mouth, someone else gives her something, and she whispers thank you.

She is an introverted and shy little girl.

It's not surprising that parents are too strong to raise children like this.

At this moment, the little girl grabbed her mother, looked at her timidly with a pair of eyes, and her voice was a little crying, "Mother, don't you marry Uncle Gu, okay?" โ€

Zhou Qing frowned, "Don't worry about adults and children, your father is dead, even if your mother remarries, it is normal, don't worry, your mother will take you with you when the time comes." โ€

"My mother can remarry." The little girl plucked up her courage and shouted, "But Uncle Gu already has a wife!" โ€

She is not a child who doesn't understand anything, she can see that her mother likes Uncle Gu, and she has been looking for excuses to get close to Uncle Gu, Uncle Gu also looks very good, he is tall, he often loves to laugh, and other people also like to talk to Uncle Gu, but she also knows that Uncle Gu has a wife and children, and knows that those people who are good with the Gu family look down on them.

"I heard what you said to grandma, Uncle Gu and his wife have such a good relationship, why do you have to break them up?"

A slap sounded in the air.

Zhou Qing's hands trembled with anger, "Mother taught you to be so disobedient?" โ€

After saying that, she left angrily.

And the little girl stayed in place and cried, tears kept flowing down, her body was trembling with fear, and the bright red slap print on her face was full of presence.

Gu Yi watched in place for a while, and walked in the direction Zhou Qing left.

Zhou Qing was more angry at being stabbed by her docile daughter, and after leaving, she didn't think too much about it and continued to look for her father.

Things still have to be done by her father.

Father Zhou was in the study, and Zhou Qing pushed the door in directly, "Dad." โ€

"It's so late, why did Qingqing come over?" Seeing his daughter, Zhou's father smiled a little, and the pen in his hand stopped.

Zhou Qing pulled a chair and sat down, her tone casual, "Dad, I came here to ask you to help with something." โ€

"What's the matter?" Zhou's father is not dissatisfied with his daughter's attitude, this daughter has always been more loved in Zhou's father and Zhou's mother's heart, and now that the son-in-law has died early and the daughter is back, the two of them have discussed to treat their daughter better, lest she be in a bad mood.

Zhou Qing said: "Dad, do you remember what I said before, there was someone who saved my daughter on the road?" ()?ใ€Ž Come on[]#็œ‹ๆœ€ๆ–ฐ็ซ ่Š‚#ๅฎŒๆ•ด็ซ ่Š‚'(), will this allow my daughter to survive? โ€

Father Zhou nodded, of course he remembered that the group of people sent their daughter and granddaughter directly to the door, and the daughter's luggage was also sent over, but before he could come out, the group of people had already left.

Later, he went to look for it at the request of his daughter, but unfortunately he didn't find anyone.

Now my daughter suddenly mentioned this, "Have you found someone?" โ€

It's not like finding someone, Zhou Qing doesn't know where Gu Changlin lives at all, but now that the test is over, there will be a registration of name, hometown, address, etc., this kind of information is not easy for her to find, but it is easy for her father to find it. She wasn't in such a hurry because she couldn't walk directly because she had bad legs and feet.

Now that my legs are raised, all kinds of thoughts will come out.

But the problem now is not to find someone, she has a hint of shyness on her face, "He is the one who participated in this year's exam, it is easy to find, but Dad, I like him, I want to marry him." โ€

Father Zhou leaned back, shocked by the news, he coughed twice, "Tell me, what's the situation at his family?" โ€

As he spoke, he thought of something, "You're already so old, he should have a wife, right?" โ€

Could it be that the other party is younger than his daughter?

Zhou Qing's face did not change at all, "It's just a country village woman, if you marry, you will marry, wouldn't it be good if you divorce directly, such a person is not worthy of Brother Gu." โ€

Father Zhou was silent.

After a while, he said, "You tell me about this Brother Gu carefully." "Zhou Qing has been a willful person since he was a child, if he can't get anything, then he will have to make trouble with his family.

So for his daughter's request, Zhou's father subconsciously didn't want to refuse.

Besides, if a daughter can develop such a temperament, parents may not have this tendency, and in the same way, Zhou's father is actually not too repulsive.

His daughter's last marriage was very unfortunate, and her son-in-law is also dead now, if she can find someone who her daughter likes to marry, she will live a happy life in the future, and she will also think it is very good for Zhou's father.

As for whether it will affect other people's families, then he can't think about it so much.

Zhou Qing began to say, "He is a lifter, very talented, this time he came to take the exam, the family situation looks very good, there are many people escorting him when he comes, and the children of the two merchants around him also listen to him, there is a wife at home, a pair of children, and his son is here to take the exam like him this time." โ€

The fact that there is a daughter in the family is not what Gu Changlin said, who would tell a strange woman about the daughter of the family?

It's just that Gu Yi's reputation in the capital is not small, he is a leader-like figure among the scholars in this year, there are so many people who come to the capital to take the exam, naturally there are people who know Gu Yi near Yuzhou, and as soon as everyone communicates, the situation of the Gu family will be clear.

"His son is also coming to take the exam?" Father Zhou was quite interested, "Then it seems that this child in his family is quite promising." โ€

Thinking that the person her daughter has a crush on should be in her forties at most, and the child should be in her twenties at most, and she was admitted to the Juren at this age, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a young talent.

But he was a little hesitant, other people's children are about to become officials, and then they will separate their fathers and mothers, so they will not wait for others to report it

() Re-the-fold.

But it's not necessarily, he is in the position of the ministry, and the benefits he can give to the other party's father and son are not small, the big deal is that he doesn't have to divorce his wife, just change it to a concubine, and the other party's family can still be together, and the benefits can be obtained.

After listening to what Zhou Qing said, Zhou's father said again: "Okay, what are their names, I'll ask them for their addresses, and by the way, I will inquire again." "He has to be cautious about the people his daughter likes.

If it's just pretending, it's not good to come at him.

No matter how much this matter is put down, maybe his daughter will change her mind and dislike it, in general, he has a wife for the other party

This matter is still relatively difficult, but I also know that my daughter has died of her husband, and it is not so easy to find another suitable one.

It is estimated that the right person will not be able to find it, so he has to look down, which is also the reason why he does not object to Gu Changlin, he is a move, and he can become an official in the future, not an ordinary ordinary person or a businessman.

Zhou Qing said: "His name is Gu Changlin, and he has a son named Gu Yi." โ€

"Gu Yi, Gu Yi?" Father Zhou felt that this name was a little familiar, and he thought carefully, people from other places, logically speaking, he should not feel familiar.

It's another move to come to the capital to participate in the examination......

"Gu Yi." Father Zhou's voice raised, "Could it be that Gu Yi who has already connected to the fourth yuan?" โ€

Zhou Qing was so frightened by Zhou's father's loud voice that her body trembled, she patted her chest when she heard the words, and said angrily: "Dad, can you talk well, what are you doing in a surprise?" โ€

"Am I surprised?" Father Zhou couldn't stop saying in a loud voice: "I think you are crazy, right?" People's sons are even in the middle of the four yuan, the prefect over there in Yuzhou was still in front of the emperor, during this time, the whole capital knew that there was a Gu Yi, knowing that his father was taught by him to be admitted to the people, you are now letting the family divorce his wife? You're going to make a fuss all over the capital know about it, right? โ€

"I think you just think your father's position is too comfortable."

Zhou Qing is not a complete fool, it's just that she really likes Gu Changlin, so she also quarreled, "It's not that he will divorce his wife now, when the time comes, let's keep a low profile and get married." โ€

Father Zhou's face was still not good, "Can that son's son agree?" โ€

Zhou Qing said: "Then separate their father and son, I will go to Brother Gu's side, I can always impress him, besides, he has not yet reached the sixth yuan, even if he is even six yuan, he is not a poor scholar, there are several officials in the court who have won the championship." โ€

"As long as Brother Gu is moved, his son will not have the right to speak if he doesn't agree."

Zhou Qing made a fuss in the study, anyway, she wanted her father to agree to her, Zhou's father was so troubled that he couldn't do anything, and finally he could only sigh, "Okay, okay, what kind of system do you have like this, my father will promise you." โ€

Zhou Qing immediately got up happily, "Dad, you are so good, I know that you are the best for me." โ€

Father Zhou said angrily: "You can be less angry with me a few times a day, it's not early, go back." โ€

"Yes, Dad." Zhou Qingle pretended to salute, and then ran out quickly.

In the courtyard, a dark shadow in the shadows stared at her with cold eyes.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Early the next morning, Gu Changlin woke up from the bed and opened his eyes, soft in early spring

Daylight peeked in through the window.

It's already dawn.

After being tired for so long, I was able to get a good night's sleep, and when I woke up, I just felt refreshed.

He took the clothes that were on the table and stool next to the bed and put them on.

The maids outside heard the movement and came in one after another to put the washing water and other things in place.

packed up and went out, Cheng Fengyan and the others had already gotten up, and his son was also there, his face was as handsome as ever, and he couldn't see any trace of staying up late, and he didn't know if he went out last night, he said hello, "When did you get up?" โ€

Wu Yuanliang answered: "I just got up." โ€

Cheng Fengyan said: "When everyone is gathered, we can have dinner." โ€

The food in the kitchen had already been prepared, and at this moment's order, a table was quickly set up.

At the dinner table, several people talked about Zhou Qing again, Gu Changlin listened cooperatively, frowning from time to time, and then giving a disgusted look, showing his disgust for this peach blossom luck to the fullest.

Cheng Fengyan and Wu Yuanliang didn't see anything wrong, and sighed with real feelings, this person really can't look too good, what happened to this.

Cheng Feng Yanxin said, fortunately, he hasn't gotten married yet, if he encounters it, he can't do it directly.

As for Wu Yuanliang, he is already married, and his wife is already pregnant, so he is not happy.

I thought that the woman was still somewhat self-aware, otherwise, what would she do if she fell in love with the lamb.

Just as they were chattering, someone came in and whispered something in Cheng Fengyan's ear, and Cheng Fengyan immediately raised his voice uncontrollably, "What did you say?" โ€

Everyone at the table looked over, and Gu Changlin asked, "What's wrong?" โ€

Cheng Fengyan grabbed the person and asked in surprise: "You can repeat what you just said, just say it directly." "There is no need to hide this.

This time, the man didn't whisper again, "Back to the young master, I heard that the daughter who came back from the Yiyang Marquis Mansion died last night." โ€

Everyone was shocked.

Gu Changlin had a sense of settled, and he controlled himself from looking directly at his son.

Can't let his son know he's suspicious.

Wu Yuanliang was also full of incredulity, "Dead, how could he die?" โ€

The man said: "I don't know about this, but it is rumored outside that it was the woman who died of her husband for four years and died of martyrdom." โ€

Cheng Fengyan said: "Isn't that, the deceased husband has been dead for so long, and she has been back in Kyoto for two months." "I'm still in the mood to take a fancy to him Uncle Gu.

The subordinate said: "It is said that it is because I am not worried about my daughter." โ€

However, Xu knew that this rumor was not very reliable, and the subordinate continued: "Some people also say that she walked carelessly at night and fell into the water. โ€

"Others say ......"

Anyway, there are a lot of outrageous rumors.

In the end, he waved back the subordinates, and Cheng Fengyan said: "It is estimated that he should have fallen into the water." โ€

Wu Yuanliang also thinks this statement is more reliable, "Her legs and feet are not good, maybe one of them didn't walk steadily, and she tripped and fell into the pond." โ€

Yes, the leg and foot problems, it seems that it is indeed a misstep.

Cheng Fengyan gloated

said: "Why didn't her family know to bring her two maids?" But this is really good, and it saves us a lot of trouble. โ€

Cheng Fengyan is not a very vicious person, and sometimes he is even willing to fight unevenly, but growing up in a family like his, it is impossible to be a good person with no temper, if a normal person loses his life, he may still have a heart, but a person like Zhou Qing who is dead-skinned and wants to threaten with power is really an early death and early life.

Wu Yuanliang was also not uncomfortable at all, his face was full of smiles, "This death is too timely, just right." โ€

Gu Changlin: ......

He wondered, should he be happy too?

After the fooling over, everyone continued to eat, and the weather was beautiful today, and everyone's appetite was great.

After eating, everyone was ready to go out to visit the capital, although the results of the exam have not yet come out, but this time because of Zhou Qing's matter has been hanging over everyone's head, so now they are not at all like the original exam, and they are worried about the result after the exam.

Take advantage of this time to take a look around the capital.

When the results come out, I may not be in the mood to look at it again.

They don't have the heart to go too far to the sights, but it's perfectly fine to wander the nearby streets.

As he walked, a voice called, "Chang Lin." โ€

Gu Yi: ......

Gu Changlin: !

Although I haven't seen him for many years, I have grown up together since childhood, and Gu Changlin can still recognize the voice of his ex-fiancรฉe, he looked in the direction where the voice came from, and not far away, it was Du Rou's figure, followed by two maids who were waiting.

Dressed in brocade clothes, it can be seen that at least after being picked up by the Hou Mansion, it is still quite loose in wear.

The quality is compared to when I was in the village, it was a heaven and an earth.

Du Rou also looked at Gu Changlin, I haven't seen him for so many years, the other party's appearance has not changed much compared to when he was young, time has only made his temperament more stable, and his gestures are full of security.

The material worn on the body is also excellent, and it seems that the family is really rich.

Walking to the front in a few steps, Du Rou looked at Gu Changlin with the joy of meeting the old man for a long time, and a hint of longing, "Changlin, why are you here." โ€

Gu Changlin took a big step back, "It's good if you call me by my name, you also married into the Hou Mansion, so we should get along and avoid suspicion." โ€

Du Rou felt a little embarrassed in her heart, she remembered that she had repented at the beginning, and when she was taken by her son to find Gu Changlin, the other party also avoided her so much.

The same is true today.

But she still couldn't believe that Gu Changlin had really forgotten her, obviously she had said that she would put her in her heart because she had not agreed, so Gu Changlin was angry? Because she returned to the Hou Mansion, Gu Changlin felt that there was no hope, so she became like this?

She didn't believe it, Gu Changlin and Zhu Qiaoniang had children, and their affection for her had not changed at all.

So Gu Changlin couldn't like someone else.

It's just that, no matter what, the other party embarrassed her in public, which also made Du Rou unbearable, she sneered: "Why, after you had a little lamb, you still wanted to come to play with Nian Nian'an, and at that time you didn't know what to avoid suspicion?" โ€

Gu Changlin was taken aback, "I'm not that I don't, don't talk nonsense." โ€

Well, in fact, he really went to play with Du Rou's two children, but he definitely didn't forget it, and he didn't exceed the specifications of his own children, it was just a means for him to maintain the relationship with the Hou Mansion.

After all, he thought that Du Rou would return to the Hou Mansion, no matter how Du Rou's son was the only son of the world, there would definitely be power, and it would be easy to help him when the time came.

It's a pity that after a matter of seducing human traffickers, everything he paid was wasted, and he was angry when he thought about it, Du Rou had nothing to do with these moths, so he couldn't return to the Hou Mansion alive and well, and then let him use it?

This is where he suffers the greatest loss.

Even if it was Zhou Shiqi's side, people had insulted him with silver, and he didn't get anything here, and he paid dozens of dollars to go in, and maybe he even got hatred.

No, it also made his life start to swing again.

What an abomination!
