Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Eight Elders' Love
It was already afternoon when Gu Qing walked out of Zuowei Prison.
The summer sun was dazzling. Standing outside the prison gate, Gu Qing narrowed his eyes and adapted for a long time before he recovered.
It feels very uncomfortable to be in prison. Although Gu Qing was not persecuted under the protection of Li Guangbi's personal guards, the foul smell and dirty environment in the prison cell could not be avoided. Gu Qing squatted for three days and felt that he was a salted fish that was about to rot and was qualified to worship Xian Yu Zhongtong.
Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were outside the prison. Seeing Gu Qing coming out and approaching him quickly, he snot and tears told the young man's longing after he was imprisoned. The vigorous and full expression of emotions made Gu Qing creepy.
The three days after Gu Qing was imprisoned, they really scared the two shopkeepers. They didn't expect Gu Qing to cause trouble so much. They sent themselves to prison as soon as they arrived in Chang'an. The only support of the two shopkeepers in Chang'an City was Gu Qing. After returning to prison, the world of the two shopkeepers collapsed.
In the past few days, the two shopkeepers have spent a lot of unnecessary money. They wandered around the door of Zuowei Mansion every day, and the money was opened to the joints. At present, they can only reach the level of the guards at the door. They can go deeper and do not work. The two shopkeepers called Tiantian not to respond, and they were in panic all day long.
Listening to the two of you, Gu Qing was still a little moved. Everyone met Qingping at the end. In the early stages of their relationship, they had intrigues with each other. As time went by, their friendship seemed to have improved qualitatively, and now they can share hardships.
Gu Qing secretly guessed that if he told the two shopkeepers that he had upgraded them, he would not know if they would generously krypton money for RMB players after reading their experience bars on the spot...
When he returned to the inn, Gu Qing told the guy to prepare a large bathtub. After the guy made hot water in the room, Gu Qing soaked in and scrubbed it. It took half an hour to come out. As for the clothes he wore when he was jailed, he simply threw them all away to save bad luck.
After washing away the stench on his body, Gu Qing felt that he had lost a few pounds, and then borrowed a bronze mirror from the shop assistant.
People or monsters must occasionally look in the mirror. Gu Qing knows that he is not happy, so he rarely looks in the mirror. However, people still have to look in front of his appearance. Gu Qing knows that in addition to being unhappy, his facial features are still very upright.
Standing in front of the mirror, Gu Qing stared at himself for a long time. For some reason, the more he looked at him, the more he felt like he was. Even the unhappy face seemed to have become a unique charm, which easily reminded people of the philosophical depth of life.
Next, Gu Qing and Mirror had a question and answer from the depths of their souls.
"You look so good when you smile, like the flowers in spring. Why do you look so beautiful?"
"Don't ask vulgar questions."
"Okay, you look so pretty, why do anyone bear to hurt you?"
“Ugly, the bad guy’s mentality is distorted.”
"What if someone hurts you next time?"
"Fuck him to death!"
After asking three questions and answers, Gu Qing was very satisfied with the questions and answers. After packing up himself, he walked out of the door with satisfaction.
Outside the door, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were talking to a guest. The guest was an old man wearing a blue shirt. When he saw Gu Qing, he hurriedly got up to salute.
"I am the steward of the Zhang Mansion of the Minister of the Honglu Temple. My master invited the young man to go to the mansion to have a lecture. I came here to lead the way for the young man."
Gu Qing nodded in response with a smile. He had already agreed to go to the Zhang family. It took a few days to go to jail, and it would be fine to go to the appointment today.
Gu Qing is a polite person. When he first visited the door, he finally had to bring some gifts. It would be too rude to come to the door empty-handed.
The high-alcohol brought from Shuzhou is a good thing, and it may help you at critical moments. Gu Qing decided not to give it casually, and it would be better to spend money to buy some gifts temporarily.
The housekeeper respectfully led the way in front. Gu Qing passed by Hao Donglai and suddenly reached out to him: "I, Gu Qing, give me money!"
Hao Donglai was a little confused by his domineering way of asking for money. He had never experienced such a arrogant way of asking for money. Hao Donglai reacted faster than his brain, and subconsciously took a piece of silver cake from his arms and put it on Gu Qing's hand. When Gu Qing took the silver cake and turned around and left, Hao Donglai became anxious.
"Hey, why? Why!"
Gu Qing ignored him and left him with a back full of domineering spirit.
Shi Daxing looked at Hao Donglai and smiled sarcastically: "Just like you, a pig's brain, it's a waste of half of the porcelain kilns for you. How about selling them all to me?"
Hao Donglai's face turned gloomy: "My surname is Shi, you and I have agreed to love each other after coming to Chang'an. Don't break our agreement."
Shi Daxing sneered: "I'm not going to do anything behind your back, I'm already in love with each other."
"Will you go to the brothel tonight?" Hao Donglai asked slowly.
"How are you going?" Shi Daxing said alertly.
"Whoever order the girl, I will rob the girl and speak with the money."
…………
The housekeeper led Gu Qing to the Zhang family mansion in Daozhengfang.
There was a personal guard on duty at the door. The housekeeper led Gu Qing into the door. As soon as he arrived at the front hall, he heard Zhang Jiuzhang's laughter mixed with a familiar woman's chuckling.
At first glance, Zhang Jiuzhang and Li Shierniang were sitting in the front hall. The two of them had a great time talking about that year. When they saw Gu Qing coming, Li Shierniang immediately put away his smile and stared at Gu Qing with a very strict look. Zhang Jiuzhang laughed and said, "What a Gu Qing, I don't know, but my temper is very similar to your father. If you disagree, you will take action. It's so good!"
When Zhang Jiuzhang talked about Gu Qing's father, Li Shierniang's stern eyes suddenly relaxed a little, and even showed a little softness, and she sighed in a low voice.
Gu Qing walked into the front hall and hurriedly saluted the two of them.
Zhang Jiuzhang waved his hand and smiled, "Forget it, let's sit down. Today, there is an old friend besides the three of us. He invited his nephew to come here mainly to recognize the door and know that the Zhang family's mansion. He has walked more often in the future. I have already ordered the housekeeper. The nephew is his own family and needs anything at any time. Just go and get it. The accountant has also said hello. If the nephew has a shortage at hand, he will ask for money from the accountant. The Zhang family will give all of it and withdraw it at will."
Gu Qing couldn't help but feel very moved. This was the real sense of swiping cards with his face. The Zhang family's affection for him was truly true, and it was also the reward for his parents' life.
Li Shierniang said coldly: "Your father is not as stupid as you. He thought twice before, and he never missed it. Gu Qing, you are purely a teenager impulse and have no consequences."
Gu Qing smiled and said, "Young man pays attention to avenging revenge. Only after he is thirty will he gradually understand how to care about the consequences and weigh the pros and cons. Aunt Li, I can guarantee that my father was also impulsive at my age."
Li Shierniang snorted: "Your father is born calm and calm, and he is the same at any age. He has never done anything wrong in his life."
Gu Qing smiled and did not argue with her. He understood one thing in his previous life: quarreling with women is the most crazy behavior, and no matter whether it is quarrel or lose, it will not end up well.
Obviously, Gu Qing's father is Li Shierniang's strange color. Her obsession with him has reached the point where fans are fanatical about their idols. It is best to be cautious about his father's topic in the future.
When the atmosphere was a little awkward, a familiar and rough voice came from outside the front hall.
"Uncle Zhang Shi, I am here! Is there a good wine in the mansion? If there is no good wine, I am going to turn around and leave!"
The three people in the front hall smiled at the same time.
Zhang Jiuzhang laughed and scolded: "You drunkard, you have a virtue that you can't change for many years! Don't worry, my Zhang family's fine wine will be enough, and you will not be able to drink it to death!"
After saying that, Li Guangbi appeared outside the front hall with a swagger. Gu Qing smiled and saluted. Li Guangbi pointed at him: "What a kid, you have avoided this disaster. Stop and drink three hundred cups with me!"
Gu Qing bowed and smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Li, for running for his nephew."
Li Guangbi pointed to Zhang Jiuzhang and Li Shierniang and smiled and said, "Mo Guang thanked me, they have also contributed a lot to you. On the day you were imprisoned, they went to visit the Left Guard General Guo Ziyi and asked General Guo's military order. You kid escaped the disaster in prison. Otherwise, my personal guard would not be able to bear it for long. You kid caused trouble and caused us elders to break their legs. Do you think you should be punished?"
Gu Qing looked at the two of them unexpectedly, then saluted sincerely: "Thank you for running around. The boy is not talented, so he is worried about the two elders."
Zhang Jiuzhang smiled and said, "A small matter is nothing. It's because of your affairs that several of our old friends gathered together again. I want to thank you."
The three of them sat back. Gu Qing was a junior. He accompanied the last seat in the front hall. The eunuchs in the house served wine and food. Zhang Jiuzhang, as the host, showed up to the cup. After the four of them drank a cup, a team of maids in gorgeous palace costumes walked out of the screen behind the hall, and lined up in the middle of the front hall. The musicians were singing behind the screen. The men's movements were neat and uniform, stretching their palace sleeves and dancing.
Gu Qing was stunned. This was the first time he attended the family dinner of the powerful after coming to the Tang Dynasty. Seeing the beautiful group of monkeys dancing in front of him, every move and every look was so touching. Gu Qing couldn't help but sigh that the civilization of the times may not necessarily be progressing. In this era, even the monkeys and the family prostitutes kabukis raised by the powerful men each had extraordinary skills. For more than a thousand years later, the monkeys would only say coldly, "Brother, you have to pay if you don't touch them."
At this moment, Gu Qing expressed his heartache for the disappearance of traditional culture and art for the first time.
After the dance, the dancers bowed one after another, and they thought they had gone to the second session to change their clothes.
As the master Zhang Jiuzhang served the cup again, drank it with everyone, stroked his beard and stared at Gu Qing, and said slowly: "Although this disaster has been resolved, it may have laid a greater disaster. You offended the Lu family's father and son this time, I think it's best to turn swords into jade..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Guangbi shook his head and interrupted: "Uncle Zhang Shi, it is impossible to turn swords into jade and silk."
"Oh? Why?"
Li Guangbi sighed and said, "I learned just now before I came to your house that Your Majesty issued an order to imprison Lo Chengping for three days, and rebuked Roh Hyun for not teaching his children, and ordered the father and son of the Lo family to think about their mistakes behind closed doors. This time, he offended him so much that it could not be resolved."
Zhang Jiuzhang opened his eyes wide in surprise, and Gu Qing was also shocked.
