Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1440
Zu Qing sat in the courtyard of the Zhang family's guest house. This mansion was originally separated from the Shihu Palace of the Capricorn Lord, so it was built magnificently, and Zhang's family came to decorate and hang rich and auspicious ornaments. There is also a kind of prosperity full of flowers.Being in the midst of it, people even get drunk and forget that the country of Jie is already a big tree that is about to fall, and under the overturned nest, how can there be any eggs?
Taking off the military robe and changing into the auspicious uniform, Zu Qing's handsome face was also full of bitterness and self-mockery when he thought that the major events in his life were accomplished under such circumstances.He didn't even dare to look up at the sky, the twinkling cold stars seemed to be the ghost of his father Zu Yue staring at him, not sure if it was expressing anger or self-blame.

Afterwards, some disciples of the Zhang family obeyed Zhang Jackal's orders and came to chat with Zu Qing about drinks and friendship, as if they wanted to make up for the lack of hasty ceremony with a more enthusiastic attitude.When all the people left and the lights dimmed, Zu Qing, who was already in a drunken state, went to the residence with the support of others.

Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, the girl from the Zhang family sitting in the room couldn't help but burst out of her shyness, making that pretty face as beautiful as a peach.

Finally, the door of the room was opened, and the figure that was imprinted in Fang's heart after seeing it jumped into her eyes again. A burst of great happiness immediately flooded her like a bank burst, and the eyes were filled with mist, and her vision soon became blurred. stand up.

Zu Qing walked into the room, and the drunkenness on his face slowly faded away after all the servants left and the remaining Zhang's maids were pushed into the corner of the house.

Growing up in the captive court where tigers and wolves were rampant since he was a child, any slack would be enough to ruin him. Naturally, Zu Qing didn't dare to drink freely, not to mention the current strict alcohol prohibition in the country, Zhang's precarious and dangerous situation. In such a happy event, I only dare to entertain guests with fruit wine.

Zu Qing was naturally not at all interested in the lady that Mrs. Zhang took the initiative to push over.If it wasn't for the fact that he was really thirsty right now, he wouldn't even want to enter the inner room. After entering the room, he grabbed the utensils to hold the soup, and accidentally saw the woman from the Zhang family whom he picked at random looking at him with tears in his eyes. , There was a sense of guilt in my heart for no reason.

A new couple, with two thoughts, after a long silence, Zu Qing said: "Yes, sorry lady..."

This slight sound of apology sounded like thunder in the ears of Mrs. Zhang. She hurriedly turned her back and wiped away the tears from her eyes. She didn't know that there were other reasons for Zu Qing's apology. You can't treat her properly.Although there were many family members in the pavilion who taught her how to respect her husband, but now she was shy and panicked, and she had already forgotten all about it.

After wiping away her tears, the little lady turned around quickly, offering buttermilk in a hurry, Qiqi Ai said: "My concubine's name is A Dong, and I was born in winter, Dong... Concubine, concubine is not sad, please Husband don't." Sin! My concubine and my grandmother often say that my concubine is not blessed and well-connected, and I am afraid that my husband will be tired... But, but if my husband does not dislike it, my concubine is alive and alive, and I will please my husband!"

Zu Qing was raised in the Shihu mansion when he was young, and when he was older, he was just a group of loyal family generals, full of revenge and cleansing his charges, and he also had no beautiful experience.

The tense look of the little lady Zhang who was at a loss and incoherent made him feel awkward immediately, he quickly raised his hand to take the trembling buttermilk that was about to pour out, and then laughed at himself: "If you say that blessings are shallow and margins are weak, Fate is perverted, I really don't believe that I can be inferior to my wife. If you have a hard life, you might as well comfort me, my wife doesn't need to be polite. There will be mutual tiredness in the coming year, so please be less resentful."

When the lady of the Zhang family heard this, she was shy and stunned again. After a while, she raised her head and said with a serious face: "Entering this door, I will have no hatred for the rest of my life! My husband looks at me with blue eyes, it is a great fortune in my life..."

Zu Qing also regained his composure at this moment. Hearing the lady's eagerness to express her opinion, she just smiled and nodded, but she felt somewhat disapproving.It is true that he felt a little guilty towards Mrs. Zhang, but it is not enough to treat Zhang as his father-in-law's family because of this.

"After a lot of disturbance, I don't realize it's late at night. My lady, please rest early and don't wait for me."

Zu Qing drank the buttermilk in the cup, then got up and walked into the outer house, and drove several maidservants into the inner room to accompany the lady, while he sat on the small couch in the outer room, closed his eyes and fell asleep, but his heart was Thinking about what kind of intentions can be achieved through this established fact.

The lady of the Zhang family was still surrounded by great happiness, and she didn't feel the cold treatment her husband treated him. She was a lady in the boudoir in the morning, and a bride in another family in the evening. She couldn't change her mentality for a while. Husband Lord, but in the end she still blushed shyly, hesitated for a long time and dared not execute it, and fell asleep at the desk before she knew it.

For the next few days after that, Zu Qing stayed at his home as Zhang's new son-in-law, and Shi Hu, the Capricorn master, was probably happy with this, and did not assign new tasks to Zu Qing.

As for Zhang Jackal, he kept arranging family banquets uninterruptedly, and showed great importance to Zu Qing, his son-in-law.But in private, the mood is getting more and more anxious.Shi Hu didn't intend to let Zhang Jack go so easily. In addition to Zu Qing's previous message, he also sent envoys to continue to question Zhang Jack in the name of congratulations.

The reason why Zhang Jackal is still procrastinating is that he hopes that some other change will happen to distract Shihu's energy and make him relax the pressure on him, but he has been disappointed.

The end of the year is approaching, the weather is getting colder, and several heavy snowfalls have made the snow deeper and colder.In such a climate, it would be difficult for the Southern Kingdom to carry out any large-scale military operations, and it would be impossible to put more pressure on the Jie Kingdom.

As for the middle school, the turmoil of the Lord's assassination has not yet completely passed, and the cleansing and killing covering the whole city are still going on.Although the news of Xiangguo's fall could not be concealed, it was only spread within a small area. Under such high pressure, no one dared to use it to confuse people's hearts.

The army from Youzhou temporarily stayed in Fuliu City in the northwest of Xindu due to heavy snowfall.Zhang Ju is also cunning and cunning. Obviously, before the turmoil in the middle school has completely subsided, he will never get involved easily.

And the New Year's Entrustment Ceremony, which should have been the focus of much attention, could only be postponed indefinitely under such circumstances.The lord, Shi Hu, still stayed in the Longteng camp with a murderous look on his face. Although a group of courtiers took great risks to persuade the lord to return to the garden, they didn't get any response.But with the assassination in mind, no one would dare to believe such unverifiable rumors.

There were no major changes happening inside or outside, which meant that Shi Hu's pressure on Zhang Jackal would only get heavier and heavier.Finally, Zhang Jack couldn't bear the tremendous pressure, took the initiative to take a step back, and recommended his cousin Zhang Li as an envoy to go to Bohai to recall King Zhang Wu.

And Zhang Jackal knew very well in his heart that the good or bad of Zhang Li's departure was uncertain, and it was even possible that he would be directly taken and beheaded by King Zhang Wu, who had a similar temperament to the Lord.But he really has no other way, if he doesn't lose his car to protect his handsome man, I'm afraid the lord will not let their Zhang family spend the new year safely.

Even if the time delay exceeds the limit of the master's patience, the master who is still in the Longteng camp may personally lead the six armies to besiege and kill the members of the Zhang clan in the city of Xindu!

Zhang Li is Zhang Jackal's right-hand man, and he is also the most senior representative of the Zhang family in Xindu's military affairs. If such a heavyweight figure is not thrown out, it will be difficult for the Lord to let their family go.

After Zhang Jackal made a statement here, Shi Hu finally reacted, but this reaction fell on Zhang's new son-in-law, Zu Qing.Zu Qing was originally a general of the Chinese army, but he was also granted the title of Marquis of Qiu County, and at the same time he was given the post of Fan Yang prefect. He became the unparalleled upstart in the country for a while.

At the same time, in order to show his favor to Zu Qing, Shi Hu ordered to reward Zu Qing with a grand mansion, which was even bigger than Zhang Jackal's house in scale.In addition, all the people who were originally from Fanyangqiu County among the refugees outside the city were classified as Zuqing's households.

Zu Qing chose to move out of Zhang Jackal's mansion before New Year's Eve, and took the newly married lady to live in the new mansion rewarded by Shi Hu.

Zhang's house was busy all the time. In the vestibule, Zhang Jackal led his children to throw a banquet for the new son-in-law to see him off.

The inner court was also busy, everyone in Zhang's inner house envied that Mrs. A Dong and the wife who had just been righted.Although the mother and daughter were not treated coldly and harshly in the inner house, they were almost transparent. No one thought that the situation of the mother and daughter would change so much in just a few days.

Mrs. Zhang, who is new to Fuzheng, also feels like falling into the clouds during this period of time.But this woman was not completely forgetful when she was proud, she still remembered where this wealth came from, got rid of the warm welcome from her family, and seized the time to pull her own girl to carefully tell the truth of respect and obedience to her husband.

And Zu Qing's new wife, Mrs. A Dong, has also been in ups and downs of mood recently, almost beyond the range of her age.At first, it was a huge surprise to be able to match her beloved, but after that, no matter how dull she was, she could still feel the indifference and alienation of her husband under the appearance of being a respectful guest. A few days ago, some sisters from the family ridiculed her for being hastily beaten out of the cabinet. He is neither valued by his father nor truly valued by his husband's family.

But after the lord rewarded her husband, those ridicules quickly disappeared, and the jealousy and awe were even more undisguised.There are even quite a few sisters who directly rushed into their husband and wife's guest house, or bluntly or hinted, hoping to marry with them, even if they are only a concubine who has no title at all.

Mrs. A-Dong knows that these sisters seem to be from the wealthy family of the Zhang family, but in fact, as a group of concubines, they will not be loved and valued by the clan and father at all. Give it away.The Zhang family was not originally from a famous family, so it is natural to know what kind of people are willing to make friends with his family.

Although Mrs. Adong herself could not avoid this fate, but her husband's family was first of all from the famous family of Hebei Fan Yangzu, and her husband Zuqing is now an unrivaled upstart in the country. It is a rare and good match to release and reach the world.Her sisters couldn't help being envious and jealous, and it was natural.

Not to mention the noise in Zhang's inner house, during the banquet in the vestibule, the conversation between Zhang Jackal and Zu Qing, the son-in-law, gradually deepened and became subtle.
