Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 128 Discussing the future with Paner

"Hmph, I'm sorry you don't have the guts, but please remember it. I will only give you one month. After one month, what if you still can't find the bandits you mentioned?" Qi Mu said.
After hearing this, Ouyang Xu hurriedly thanked him, but in fact he was disappointed because he knew that if he couldn't find it after searching for so long, he probably couldn't find it.

The time left for him is only one month, which means that he only has this one month. If he still can't find it after one month, he will become an outcast.

By that time, those people that I have offended these days will come to my door, and I am afraid that my life will be worse than death.

"Okay, you can step back. Remember what I said, it's only one month." Qi Mu said
After Ouyang Xu heard this, he naturally nodded repeatedly, then got up and exited the room in embarrassment. Looking at Ouyang Xu's leaving figure, Qi Mu said with a gloomy face, "What a waste!"

The time soon came to the second day. Because of what his son said yesterday, Zhang Chenglu did not go home directly after the morning meeting. Instead, he walked with Gao Hu.

When Gao Hu saw Zhang Chenglu coming, he naturally said quickly, "My dear, who are you?"

"Oh, that's it, dear, I have something to discuss with you, so what do you think?" Zhang Chenglu said softly, and then looked around vaguely.

Although Gao Hu was muttering in his heart when he saw this, he also knew that his in-laws might have something important to say, so he didn't say anything.

The two of them left the palace together, and then returned to Gao Hu's house together. Instead of going to the front hall, they went directly into the study. After the servants had served tea, the two of them began to talk about business.

"In-laws, to be honest, I took the liberty to come to you today because I have something to discuss with you. Not long ago, your useless son-in-law let that Zhao Paner into the house."

"You also know the situation of our family, so we didn't pay much attention to it at first. After all, it's just a concubine, so it's not a big deal."

"But who knew, the day before yesterday, Zhao Pan'er actually said that she wanted to be an equal wife and in-laws. That's probably what happened. I know this makes you very embarrassed."

"But this condition is an excellent opportunity for you and me. If you miss this time, you may not be able to achieve it in the future. After all, what is the dragon body of this official family?" Zhang Chenglu said

After hearing this, Gao Hu remained silent because he was still a little shocked at this time. After all, he never expected that the night banquet picture would be in the hands of the Zhang family.

And he was willing to take it out for his own use, which was really a big deal. He knew very well that the night banquet picture must have been in the hands of the Zhang family early in the morning.

It is estimated that the Zhang family had already planned to use it for themselves, but their daughter had not come in before, so they could not take it out.

He now even suspected that the reason why the two families had this marriage was because of this night banquet picture. The Zhang family did not want to waste the function of this picture in vain, so they thought of themselves?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth, so at this moment he couldn't help but sigh, "My dear, your family is really generous. Are you willing to give up such a thing?"

"In-laws, I think you will know something about this even if I don't say it. This thing is like useless in the hands of our family. Only when it comes to you, the in-laws, can it play its greatest role." Zhang Chenglu said

"Yes, you are right, but in this way, I will feel sorry for my daughter. After all, I have just entered the house and there is an equal wife in the house. This is true." Gao Hu shook his head and said
"In-laws, please rest assured on this. You know our family's ancestral precepts, and you will never let anything messy happen in the back house." Zhang Chenglu assured.

"Hey, in-laws, you are worrying too much. I still believe this. Hey, in this troubled year, all I can do is wrong the kid Hui'er." Gao Hu sighed.
Zhang Chenglu didn't think there was anything wrong with Gao Hu's pretentiousness. After all, if he were in his shoes, he would make the same choice.

After all, compared with the future of his family, the happiness of his children is not within his scope of consideration.

Now that all the business was done and everyone was happy, the atmosphere was much happier. Zhang Chenglu stayed for another quarter of an hour before getting up and leaving.

Gao Hu sent Zhang Chenglu all the way to the door of the house before turning back to the house. After Zhang Chenglu got on the carriage, he also walked towards his home with a smile on his face.

After returning to his home, he hurriedly called Erlang to the study.

Erlang, I just came back from your father-in-law, and he agreed to the marriage issue. I came to you to tell you, and the time is set in half a month.

"I will formally request an order from His Majesty in half a month. You should tell your wife in advance so that nothing happens." Zhang Chenglu said.

"I know father, madam, I will tell you. By the way, father, uncle and third uncle?" Zhang Heng said
"Don't worry about them. I'll go back after tomorrow morning. You just need to comfort your wife within this half month. Don't let anything go wrong then." Zhang Chenglu reminded again.

"I know father, if nothing happens, I will go back first." Zhang Heng said
After seeing his father nod, Zhang Heng turned around and left the study, then walked straight to his yard. Soon he arrived at the door of the room, and then opened the door and went in.

When Gao Hui saw him coming back, he quickly stood up and said, "The official is back. Did father tell you what time it is?"

"Madam, my father told me that he and his father-in-law agreed to do it in half a month." Zhang Heng said
Even though Gao Hui had been prepared in her heart, she still felt sad about the news, and the reason for her sadness was not other than that her father agreed on the same day.

It was not even past noon yet, and he couldn't help but feel sad for a moment, and Zhang Heng also saw his wife's mood, so he quickly turned around and hugged his wife.

After feeling the embrace of her official, she was so sad that she couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears. Zhang Heng did not persuade her because he knew that it would be useless.

Especially the persuasion from one of the parties involved was even more useless, so he just gently stroked his wife's hair to comfort her.

After a full quarter of an hour, Gao Hui came out of Zhang Heng's arms and said with some embarrassment, "Official, I made you laugh. I, I don't know what's wrong, I obviously don't."

Zhang Heng listened to half of it, then moved his mouth directly to block the next words. It was not until a quarter of an hour later that the couple separated.

"Madam, I can understand. This matter is still a bit cruel to you. I know it. Zhang Heng comforted his wife softly. At this time, Gao Hui also calmed down. He knew that the matter was done. It's a foregone conclusion, even if he continues to make trouble, nothing will change, but it will bore the officials.

But she really didn't want to give up this great opportunity, so she whispered, "Husband, let's have a baby, okay? I can just do it today..."

After hearing this, Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment. After all, the thoughts of his wife were too elusive. She was still sad just now, but now she is like this?
But how could he refuse such a good thing?Naturally, we had to start taking action as soon as possible, and the time slowly came to the morning of the next day.

After Zhang Heng got up, he looked at the sleeping lady next to him, smiled and nodded, then left the room and started washing and boxing.

In fact, he knew very well that this matter would not be easy to get over. After all, what woman could endure such a thing?Is this trouble definitely still waiting behind?
But it must have nothing to do with me at that time. It is the business of these women themselves. As long as no one is killed, just let them go their own way.

And just when Zhang Heng was freeing himself, Zhang Chenglu had already arrived at his brother's mansion and was discussing something with his brother and third brother.

"Eldest brother, third brother, I have already negotiated with Gao Hu. The time will be set in half a month. By then, the night banquet picture will be given to Gao Hu." Zhang Chenglu said

"It's okay to give it away. It's no big deal. Anyway, this is what we decided before. As long as it can have some connection with the Zhe family, it's just a picture of the night banquet. It's no big deal."

"Anyway, that thing is just useless to our family. News came from the palace that His Majesty's old habit has happened again, maybe this time? So we have to make preparations early." Zhang Chengfu said

"What? Actually again? It seems that His Majesty is really real, so we have to hurry up." Zhang Chenglu said

"It doesn't matter. Although he should be promoted to king by then, the saint may not be willing to hand over his power at that time, and what's going to happen?" Zhang Chengshou said.

"The third brother is right, but there is no need to worry too much about this matter. After all, Wu Lang has already been in contact with Xiao Qinyan before, especially about the last assassination?"

"Then Xiao Qinyan is the sage's pawn. I think the sage will understand what our family means, so there is no need to worry too much." Zhang Chengfu said

After hearing what their eldest brother said, the Zhang Chenglu brothers said nothing more. At the same time, Gao Hu had already entered the palace and was discussing yesterday's events with his sister.

"Brother, what did you say? Night banquet picture? Is this really what the Zhang family said?" Concubine Xian asked.
"Yes, that's what Zhang Chenglu said indeed. He really wanted to give me this night banquet picture. According to what he said, he wanted the relationship network of Zhao Pan'er's father's generation."

"But this is so unreliable. I think their family should be reluctant to part with the military power they currently hold. After all, the credit for the Night Banquet Tu cannot be seen in the light."

"So if the officials want to reward their family, they must only reward a few juniors in their family, but most of their juniors now hold military power."

"Under such circumstances, it is impossible for them to exchange military power for false posts. After all, the officials are probably worried that the officials will then kill the donkey." Gao Hu said
"Well, brother, what you said makes sense. Let's handle this matter like this. I always feel that the queen will not give up so easily. I'm afraid she will when the time comes?"

"For the future of our Gao family, we have no choice but to wrong that girl Hui'er." Concubine Xian said.
Gao Hu didn't say anything after hearing this, and Concubine Xian lost interest in talking, so Gao Hu came out of the palace and went directly back to his mansion.

As the initiator of this incident, Zhang Heng came to Pan'er's room at this time.

After Zhang Heng arrived, he didn't say any unnecessary nonsense, but said directly, "Pan'er, the time has been set, it will be in half a month, so you need to be ready now."

"What? Really? In half a month? This is not appropriate, after all, Heng Lang, you have just gotten married. At this time, where is the mistress?" Pan'er said hesitantly.
"Pan'er, as long as you sit in this position, Hui'er will definitely become hostile to you, so no matter what time it is, the result will be the same."

"So don't have any worries. Even if you have worries, it shouldn't be from Hui'er. That's what I should be worried about, not you. Just be prepared." Zhang Heng said.
After hearing this, Pan'er didn't speak for a while. Although she knew that what Heng Lang said was right, she still felt a little awkward.

What made her awkward was not Gao Hui, but that she was not used to the straightforwardness of an official like herself.

Because these words would make her feel guilty, which she didn't like.

"Pan'er, what's wrong? Didn't I tell you not to think too much? Isn't this kind of thing normal? You didn't do anything wrong, you were just fighting for yourself."

"Get a good start for your own future, that's all. I know what I just said may make you a little uncomfortable, but these are what I have to say to you."

"Because this is not what I think, but what my mother and even my father think, so this is what you have to face."

"Let me tell you these words. You may still have an adaptation stage, and you still have time to think about what to do in the future, and this is the purpose of me coming to you today." Zhang Heng said
After Zhao Pan'er heard this, she immediately understood. Yes, they must be thinking like this in their hearts. In other words, as long as they are upright ladies, they will not like themselves.

There is no way around this. After all, in their eyes, a person like herself is only worthy of being a concubine. Now that she wants to be an equal wife, it will inevitably lead to their dissatisfaction.

There was no way, some things were natural antagonisms, and she could even imagine that in the future, no matter who the women in the capital would think of her, they would not give her a good look.

After all, I don't belong to any of them. The ladies will be tired of me not knowing how to advance or retreat, and the concubines will be jealous of me. Why can I be an equal wife and they can't?

It could be said that everything was doomed from the moment she proposed to be an equal wife. At this time, she finally understood why her future official spoke so directly just now.

Because he saw it, he also saw it. This was a reminder to be careful.
