In the Zhizhou Mansion, Gao Jingshu is more and more angry the more she thinks about it, the calming truths she has read over the years are as fragile as paper paste, but she is a daughter's family, and she is a talented Jiangling girl with a lot of ink in her belly, and she can't throw something to beat someone to get angry, so she has to hide in the boudoir and wipe her face with tears.

This cry, it is getting more and more aggrieved, the crying is getting louder and louder, and it is not easy to accept it.

As Gao Jingshu's closest person, the maid Cui'er was also kicked out by Gao Jingshu, and she was very anxious at the moment, not knowing what to do.

She couldn't figure out how to understand that Miss's strong personality has always shown people with a cold face, and she has always disdained ordinary gossip, but how could she be cried twice by the same person?

Zhang Shaoyang Zhang Da Young Master, what a heinous wicked person this is!

Cui'er tried to persuade a few words, seeing that the young lady was still crying, Cui'er had no choice but to ask Mrs. to come out, Mrs. Zhizhou was originally a famous lady in Jiangling, after Gao Chengyuan was transferred to Jiangling to be Zhizhou, the two fell in love at first sight, and it was a good story in Jiangling at that time.

This Mrs. Zhizhou's surname is Lu, her name is Brocade, Gao Jingshu's appearance is similar to her, looking at Gao Jingshu's appearance, you can know that this Lu Zhijin was also a fairy when she was young, although the mother and daughter are similar in many places, but Lu Zhijin knows that his daughter's temper is still mostly like his father, and she is very stubborn.

So after listening to Cui'er's angry description, Lu Zhijin probably guessed what was going on, smiled, and went to Gao Jingshu's boudoir with lotus steps.

Seeing her mother coming suddenly, Gao Jingshu was a little embarrassed, and quickly wiped away her tears, pretending to be casual, and said with a hint of crying in her voice: "Mother, why are you here." ”

Lu Zhijin smiled: "I heard that my daughter was bullied, so I came to take a look." ”

Gao Jingshu glared at the maid Cui'er, and said in her heart why this girl is talking so fast, but Cui'er is very heartfelt, stuck out her tongue at the young lady, and quickly fled, and for a while, only Lu Zhijin's mother and daughter were left in the room.

"Ouch, look at my girl's sadness, her tears haven't been wiped away yet. Lu Zhijin stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Gao Jingshu's eyes, but he didn't see any distress on his face.

"Mother, you're still making fun of me. Gao Jingshu shook Lu Zhijin's arm slightly coquettishly, and was a little aggrieved, she was still a little girl who had not grown up in front of her mother, and her usual calmness disappeared without a trace.

"Tell my mother, who bullied you again?"

"Who else can there be, it's not that Zhang Shaoyang, who has been gone for more than half a year, and as soon as he comes back, he will be angry with me, saying a bunch of inexplicable and unreasonable words, it's really... I'm!"

"I heard Cui'er say that Liu Gongzi came here to look for you, and he planned to bully you, and was finally relieved by Shaoyang?"

Gao Jingshu nodded: "Well, the surname Liu is extremely obscene, while his father went to court, he sneaked here, if it weren't for Zhang Shaoyang, I really don't know what he would do." ”

"Look, isn't this something to thank Shaoyang!"

Gao Jingshu immediately jumped up unhappily: "Hmph, thank him? How is it possible! I can't wait to strangle him!"

Lu Zhijin pursed his lips disapprovingly, and changed his words and said: "The surname Liu is not a good person, now your father is anxious about this matter, and he told me last night that even if he tears his face with Liu Shangshu in the capital, he can't push you into the fire pit." ”

Gao Jingshu was stunned: "Mother, if this is the case, wouldn't my father be very embarrassed?"

"Then what can I do, my father and mother can't watch you live a bad life in the second half of your life, and your father also said that even if Liu Shangshu has a lot of influence in the capital, it is not to the point where he covers the sky with one hand, and the appointment and dismissal of local officials has the final say from the emperor, your father is diligent and diligent, and Jiangling is even more smooth every year, presumably the emperor can also see it, but..."

"But what?"

"Your father said that Liu Shangshu's heart is very small, so he is afraid that he will keep stumbling in the back, and the so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent!"

Gao Jingshu was silent for a moment, and said a little gloomily: "Let my father and mother bother." ”

"What are you doing with these words, my father and mother know that you don't want to, and I have been forbearing just not to cause trouble to your father, in comparison, Shaoyang's character is much better than this Liu Gongzi, in fact, my father and mother are still very satisfied with Shaoyang's child. ”

"Mother, what do you say, Zhang Shaoyang, I hate him to death. ”

Lu Zhijin looked at Gao Jingshu helplessly, and sighed: "Girl, you are still young, there are some things you don't understand, you have never been easy to have emotions, but how often it has been since you cried twice for him, don't you think it's strange? Sometimes calm down and think about it, whether you really hate him so much, maybe you will have different thoughts." ”

Gao Jingshu was silent.

"Shaoyang, this child, he has no mother since he was a child, and his father can only do business, so it is normal for him to be rebellious, but this child has a good heart, and he desperately wanted to save you, which shows that he has a deep affection for you..."

"Mother, don't say it, my daughter has the arrogance of my daughter, and it is impossible for me and him. ”

Lu Zhijin didn't say anything more, got up and patted Gao Jingshu's shoulder, and said softly: "Think about what my mother said, my mother will leave first." ”

Then Lu Zhijin slowly walked out of the room, Gao Jingshu in the room was not deflated by Lu Zhijin's words, but said even more angrily: "He actually said that he looked down on me, what qualifications does he have to say about me, I won't have a good impression of him, never!"

Lu Zhijin naturally didn't hear the woman's angry words, walked down the corridor for a while, and saw Gao Chengyuan, who had left the court, hurriedly walking here, and guessed that she must have known what was happening here, she walked a few steps quickly and stopped Gao Chengyuan.

Gao Chengyuan frowned and asked in a deep voice, "How is Jingshu?"

"She's fine, the surname Liu is too bold, and she dares to mess around like this in our house. Lu Zhijin said with an unhappy face.

Gao Chengyuan nodded: "Hmph, this kid relies on his father to be a scholar, and he even dares to command me, if Jingshu really agrees to marry him, he will definitely be wronged." ”

"What are you going to do?"

Gao Chengyuan took a deep breath, put his hands on his back, and looked solemn.

"Today I received a letter from Liu Shangshu. ”

"Discuss this family matter with you again?" Lu Zhijin asked.

"No, the letter says nothing about this family business. ”

"Oh, then why are you still in this posture?"

Gao Chengyuan paced slowly: "The letter has more than 1,000 words, most of which are polite words, but eleven of them have a deep meaning, mentioning Li Taibao and the three Shangshu of Shangshu Province, this truth is very simple!"

Lu Zhijin was puzzled: "What is the deep meaning?"

"Very profound, Li Taibao as a veteran of the three dynasties, his father once followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the north and south, and made great achievements, he also served in Beijing during the period of Emperor Taizu, so many years in the imperial court operation, power can not be underestimated, and Liu Shangshu and I participated in the palace examination successively, it stands to reason that it has nothing to do with Li Taibao, but you must know that among the six departments of the three provinces, the six departments of Shangshu Province have important responsibilities, each performing its own duties, Liu Shangshu is in charge of the criminal department, plus the other mentioned Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, isn't it telling me that these four departments have a close relationship with Li Taibao？”

"Liu Shangshu is trying to suppress people and make you agree to the marriage of Jingshu and his son?"

Gao Chengyuan snorted coldly: "Women's opinion! You only know these trivial things, but you don't know that today's imperial court has long been divided into two factions, and Li Taibao, as the backbone of the Huang faction, has been fighting with the bamboo shoot-like literati and youth faction in recent years, and there are signs of decline, this move is to win people's hearts!"

Lu Zhijin didn't say anything more, it was involved in political affairs, she was indeed not as far-reaching as Gao Cheng, she only knew that it seemed to be much more complicated than family affairs.

"Although I was born as a literati, I have never participated in partisan disputes over the years, and now this fire is gradually burning from the capital to other states and counties, and perhaps even the murder of officials in the four major states is inseparable from partisan disputes. ”

"Cheng Yuan, do you mean that the few Zhizhou who were killed are also..."Lu Zhijin couldn't help covering his mouth, and the horror in his heart was overflowing.

"Officialdom is much more terrifying than the battlefield. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"I have to think about it carefully, I won't reply to this letter for the time being, as for the so-called family affairs, don't make a hasty decision, once we can't help but fall into this whirlpool, it's not too late to decide. ”

Lu Zhijin said: "That's all. ”

On the other side, Zhang Shaoyang was in a good mood, this time he entered the door from the front door generously, and as soon as he entered the house, the idiot who had not been seen for a long time floated down from the roof like a ghost, but unfortunately he couldn't scare Zhang Shaoyang at all now, after all, he had already discovered the idiot's qi.

The idiot looked him up and down, and saw that his breath was stable now, and the temperament of the whole person had changed a lot, and the idiot couldn't help but smile: "It seems that I have learned a lot from the predecessors of the Sword Immortal." ”

"Then you need to say, let's talk about each other?"

The idiot said proudly: "Forget it, I'm afraid of hurting you." ”

"Cut. Zhang Shaoyang didn't care, if it was in normal times, he would definitely have a fight with the idiot immediately, but at this time he was not interested, he took a few steps forward with a big grin, and said lightly: "I'm not in the mood now, let's change the day." ”

Idiot and him walked side by side, the two played from childhood to adulthood, although they are not brothers, but they know each other quite well, as soon as they see Zhang Shaoyang's appearance, Idiot knows that he has something on his mind, and when his mind moves, he guesses what is going on.

"Did you go to find Miss Gao?"

"Hmm. ”

"She's slandering you again?"

Zhang Shaoyang slowed down and said seriously: "It doesn't matter if you are slandered or not, it's just that this woman has made me understand some things, and some likes may just bring some admiration, and when the mystery on her body fades, it will be boring." ”

"Seems to make sense!"

"That is, how can my Zhang Shaoyang's words be unreasonable, when I go to see the vast sky outside, let her Gao Jingshu regret it. ”
