A servant came in to hold dinner, which was a simple four dishes and one soup.
Zhang Juling was not concerned about the food, so he only took a few bites and put down his chopsticks.
Gu Jingwen glanced at him, didn't say anything, nor did he advise him to eat more.
Around the hour of You, the sun completely sank, dark and no light at all.
The lanterns in the yard were lit one by one, emitting a faint orange-yellow light.
After Gu Jingwen finished his meal, he went to the front yard to rest.
He used to be the same, and if he was very busy, he would just take a break in the store.
Zhang Juling went to the west to see Gu Han first.
She is still sleeping soundly.
He waved to Taohong and the two went to the East Room together.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Zhang Juling stood with his hands behind his back and asked.
He wanted to know in detail what happened at that time.
Taohong knelt down and gave a big gift, saying: "I don't know anything. Even when I passed by the Stone Arch Bridge with my young lady, I was suddenly surrounded by a group of beggars. We didn't want to throw food and use it down... I just made a noise around the carriage, but the other carriages on the bridge were fine. Later, the horse was frightened, and the young lady fell into the Datong River..." The third young master had no smile on his face, and she rubbed her hands nervously.
It was her fault that she failed to serve the third young lady well, and it caused her to fall into the Datong River... Even if the third young master drove her away, it would not be too much.
It was a perfect plan to surround the carriage with a beggar first, and then the horse was frightened... Zhang Juling waved his hand and asked Taohong to go out, "Go to the yard to kneel."
Taohong agreed to kowtow and let out a long sigh, and then beat him and drove him out of the mansion, or deducting the silver medal... This is the lightest punishment.
After Taohong closed the door, Zhang Juling called Ma Liang out.
"It is because my subordinates are incompetent and have not protected the young lady well. Please ask the master to sue him."
Ma Liang bowed and bowed.
Zhang Juling paused and said, "I don't blame you."
This is someone coming for me... and check to see who it is!"
Ma Liang should have "yes" and looked up at Zhang Juling.
The master's expression was too gentle, but he couldn't help but feel shocked.
He has been following Zhang Juling for six years. The last time he had this expression was when Zhang Juling's biological mother, Aunt Zhao, died.
"Ah, young lady... are you slower... are you injured?"
The girls were exclaimed from the Xiji room, and Zhang Juling opened the door and walked over in two steps.
He didn't even say hello to Ma Liang.
Ma Liang was a little stunned, but turned around but saw only Zhang Juling's back.
"...Stop watching, go ahead and go."
Shuming said, and went outside to wait.
Ma Liang didn't say anything, jumped into the dark night and disappeared.
Zhang Juling stepped in and saw Gu Han sitting on the head of the bed, sweating on his forehead.
The girls who served were kneeling on the ground.
"Han'er, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Juling reached out and took out a brocade platter at the cuff and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
What's wrong?
Gu Han's apricot eyes were watery.
She had a nightmare just now, and there seemed to be a big stone pressing on her chest. She couldn't breathe no matter how hard she shouted, and she couldn't wake up, and there was nothing she could do.
Fortunately, she fumbled around and fell on the bedside table in the room and then woke up with the sound.
"I'm a nightmare..."
As soon as I said that, tears fell down, and the feeling of powerlessness was really uncomfortable.
Gu Han reached out and put his hand around Zhang Juling's waist and buried his head in his arms.
She was really afraid that she would not be able to wake up!
"You all go out."
Zhang Juling touched his wife's hair and spoke to the girls in the room.
"yes".
Zhang Juling straddled her long legs and sat beside Gu Han, kissing her cheek, and her voice softly: "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you."
It would be fine if he didn't say this, but when he said this, Gu Han's tears flowed even more.
Hurry and fast.
Zhang Juling sighed in distress and said helplessly: "Stop crying, okay?"
How could she not cry? She couldn't stop... Gu Han choked and couldn't speak.
"good."
Zhang Juling went to kiss her and whispered in her ear: "Is it made of water?"
What is made of water?
Gu Han raised his eyes to look at him.
Tears on his face were pitiful.
"alright."
Zhang Juling's heart trembled as she saw it, and she kissed the tears on her face little by little, "If you continue crying, I will cry too."
He looked serious, and the sincerity and pity in his eyes were unconcealed.
Gu Han felt a fever and he hugged his neck sideways.
His wife was willing to act coquettishly towards him, but Zhang Juling couldn't ask for it, so he hugged her and coaxed her for a while.
I asked the girl to make ginseng soup.
“…I don’t want to drink.”
Gu Han muttered, "The stomach is very full and I can't eat it."
"You have to eat even if you can't eat. The more you can't eat, the more you need to eat. This will be good for your body to recover..."
Gu Han pouted his mouth and stopped refuting it.
Zhang Juling was accommodating to her everything and agreed to her every request.
He thought of everything for her, and he was simply doting on him.
But, only eating together... She couldn't make any decisions about what she wanted to eat.
It's all about what he said.
She would never finish her meal and would not leave any feelings for her in front of the girls.
A waning moon rises in the air, surrounded by sparse stars.
Silent.
Zhang Mansion, Osmanthus Garden.
Wang had just finished meeting Li Shi and talked to Xu Zhu.
Li Shi also said that he had contacted the Third Young Master, and the Third Young Master rushed to Jinyun Busan.
“…It’s so good, how could it fall into the Datong River?
Could the third wife have been involved in someone she shouldn’t have messed with?”
"The old slave doesn't look very much like it."
Madam Xu thought for a while and said, "Mrs. Third Young Master has been staying in the backyard. Who can she mess with?
I guess it must be an accident.
Didn’t Li Shi also say that he was surrounded by a group of beggars?”
Wang thought Madam Xu's words were reasonable, "...It's a bit troublesome that the third wife was rescued by Mr. Gu... The third wife has not come back now. He has to come back after getting the news and rush to the house. It's not until now. As for Li Shi's return, he said... he was afraid that the Gu family would ask for trouble and said that we would not take good care of it..." Gu Han was naturally not afraid, but behind Gu Han was the Daxing Gu family.
One of the most famous families in Kyoto.
Xu Qiu smiled: "You are too worried.
The third young lady had an accident on her way back to the family...it had nothing to do with us.
Even if there is anything, it’s still the third young master’s business…You put your heart in your stomach.”
"Too."
Wang hooked a little balm with his fingers and spread it evenly in his palm. He stopped talking about Gu Han and asked Xu Xu: "Whose house did you rest tonight?"
Xu Zhu thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the place where Aunt Hong is."
Mrs. Wang smiled and didn't say anything.
Aunt Hong looks quite outstanding, but what kind of climate can a person who can't even give birth to a child?
She didn't mind.
The master and servant were talking, but a report from the little girl came from outside, saying that Zhang Xiu had come.
Wang was stunned. Didn’t he say he had rested with Aunt Hong?
Why did you come to Osmanthus Garden again?
Madam Xu was also a little stunned.
She read that right, the master was indeed heading towards Lan Pavilion where Aunt Hong lived.
Wang glanced at Madam Xu, got up and left the bedroom to greet her, and said with a smile: "Master, have you had dinner?"
Zhang Xiu nodded, "I've eaten."
He sat in the chair of the Grand Master in the main seat.
Wang personally filled him with a cup of tea.
Zhang Xiu picked it up, took a sip, and asked, "Have you heard about the affairs of the third family?"
"I just heard of it..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhang Xiu interrupted: "What have you decided to do?"
“How to do it?”
Wang didn't know what Zhang Xiu asked meant, so he repeated it again.
“…The third wife was picked up by Mr. Gu and she fell into the Datong River.
We should all take a look at it because of the truth and reason... Otherwise, it would be bad if the Gu family picked it up."
He also heard Li Shi say it.
Wang looked up at her husband, how could the mother-in-law take the initiative to see her daughter-in-law?
It's too unpretentious.
Besides, it was not something that happened in the Zhang family. Is there anything to be chosen? I thought so but couldn't say it directly. She smiled and said, "... The master said it is reasonable, but it's already dark this day, so it's not good to bother me anymore. Why not wait until tomorrow."
She didn't want to see the third wife. She could delay it for a while and find other reasons tomorrow.
Since the eldest son was beaten, she has been disliked in all kinds of dislikes when she looks at the third family again...
"It's OK."
Zhang Xiu nodded. When he heard the news, he came out of Aunt Hong's house. It would be bad to go back at this time. He said, "Cleaning up, I'll have to go to morning court tomorrow, so I'll go to bed here."
Wang was happy, responded to "yes", and walked towards the bedroom with Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Juning took a few bags of dessert into the Osmanthus Garden, and was stopped by Xier as soon as he walked up the steps.
Xier bowed and saluted: "Master, Madam has rested.
You come again tomorrow to pay your respects.”
Zhang Juning looked at the lights in his mother's bedroom and asked, "So early?"
Xier pursed her lips and smiled: "The master is inside."
Zhang Juning nodded, handed the snack in her hand to Xier, and said, "This is what I bought for my mother, all of which are her favorite flavors... Tell her that I've been here."
Xier took it with both hands and replied "yes".
Zhang Juning left with ease, feeling very happy, and there was a smile on his lips.
When the third daughter-in-law gets into trouble, the third child will definitely be busy all the time... making him look down on him all day long.
Deserve it!
As soon as Zhang Juning entered Jingwu, he asked Shuwen to go to Ning's place to call Qiangu.
I haven't seen her for a few days, and I'm thinking very much.
Ning was coaxing Chun Ge'er to sleep. When he heard the girl coming to report, he asked Shuwen to come in and speak.
"Where is the eldest master?"
Shuwen saluted and replied, "The eldest young master just came back and went to the study room.
He said that Miss Qiangu would come over."
Ning didn't say anything, and looked at Qiangu standing next to him, "Miss Qiangu, the eldest young master is looking for you, do you want to go?"
How did this make her go back? Qiangu lowered her head and stared at her pink embroidered wintersweet upper.
"Talk?
You can go if you want.
Can I stop you?"
Ning's voice suddenly became higher.
Brother Chun was about to fall asleep, but was awakened again, crying loudly.
Ning stood up and walked back and forth with her son in her arms, ignoring Qiangu.
Qiangu pursed his lips tightly and bowed, "Madam, I don't want to go."
Is Ning not stopping her?
It clearly means not letting her go.
Originally, the wife said that she would not let her serve the eldest son again... If she listened to the eldest son's words, the eldest son's wife and the wife would have no way to live tomorrow.
Ning smiled and looked at Shuwen: "Did you hear it?"
Go and talk to the eldest master.”
