Chapter 134: Presiding over justice
The garden party invited not only the court officials, but also the officials' families and women.
Gu Qing did not understand this fact until he met Zhang Huaijin, and then couldn't help but sigh that he could not blame society for his fate...
It is impossible to meet each other on a narrow road and pretend not to see it. It is too bullying. The brothers who came forward to recognize each other were reluctant to know each other.
However, Zhang Huaijin was very excited, and from the bottom of her heart, he grabbed Gu Qing's sleeve and jumped around like a rabbit struggling constantly.
"The second ancestor Weng insisted on bringing me here and asked me to learn etiquette from the powerful and wealthy women. I was just bored, but I didn't expect that my second brother would come too. Now it's not boring."
Gu Qing sighed: "If you find a few scoops and let them perform somersaults for you, you won't feel bored either."
Looking up, Gu Qing said, "You are here, don't walk around, I'll catch you a few money..."
Just as he was about to escape, Gu Qing suddenly realized that he could not leave.
She pulled her sleeve tightly. If she waved her knife to break her sleeve, it would confirm the relationship between the second and third brothers, which was inappropriate.
Zhang Huaijin pouted and said, "Second brother, why do you always hide from me? I have said that I won't marry you anymore, what are you afraid of?"
Gu Qing was stunned and thoughtful.
It seems to make sense. In the past, she was afraid that they would pester him or that they would simply greed for his body, but Zhang Huaijin did not threaten at all. Through friendly negotiations, the two sides agreed not to marry each other, and they would be even more brotherly. What else did he fear?
They are all good brothers, why should good brothers hide?
When Gu Qing thought of this, he seemed to have opened a knot in his heart and suddenly felt happy.
He hooked Zhang Huaijin's thin shoulders and Gu Qing smiled and said, "Let's go, my second brother will take you to catch the money. This time I'm really catching the money."
Zhang Huaijin was a little shy by Gu Qing's sudden enthusiasm, especially the hand that was placed on her shoulder, which made her even more uncomfortable. She blushed and broke away from Gu Qing's hand and stared at him hard.
"Second brother, please be more disciplined!"
Gu Qing smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, my hands are getting too soon... not right, my hands are being cheap. I often care about my brothers."
Zhang Huaijin warned: "Brothers are brothers, don't touch them."
"I won't know anymore..." Gu Qing paused and added: "You shouldn't touch me either. Everyone's relationship is purer. You can have a feud in Taoyuan, but you can't sleep with your feet."
"I definitely won't touch you, I'm a person!" Zhang Huaijin said angrily.
Gu Qing blinked, if you say this, it doesn't matter if you get a little poisonous in the future? She won't touch herself anyway...
The two continued walking along Qujiangchi.
It is really different for someone to accompany her. Zhang Huaijin's mood has obviously improved a lot. Judging from her rhythm and height of jumping, her mood is really in a state of desire to go to heaven at this moment.
"After I returned home that day, the second ancestor asked me around the bush if I wanted to marry you. I refused. If the second ancestor asked you, remember to refuse." Zhang Huaijin reminded him very seriously.
Gu Qing gave her an idea: "If your second ancestor Weng asks you again, just say bad things about me, saying I am greedy for money and lust, saying I love drinking, and I often beat people when I am drunk, and you will say whatever you can't bear it anyway, I don't mind."
Zhang Huaijin shook his head: "No, I can't fabricate it out of thin air. I can't talk nonsense about things that are not available at all. I can't do anything to ruin other people's reputation."
Gu Qing sighed, it is also a burden to tutor too well. He is not flexible in his life, and he is often restrained when his bottom line is too high.
"Why are you so resistant to getting married? Even if you don't marry me, you will still have to leave it to another man? Will you never get married in your life?" Gu Qing asked curiously.
Zhang Huaijin said: "Of course I have to get married, but I must be the one I have seen with my own eyes. My future husband must be chosen by myself. He may not be so handsome, but his character must be good. He must treat me consistently and be consistent with me throughout his life. Even if I am eighty years old, in his eyes, I am still the most beautiful woman in the world. Such a man can make me willing to marry him and make me willing to take care of his husband and children for him throughout his life."
Gu Qing praised: "A good idea, remember to stick to yourself and not be shaken by the world."
Zhang Huaijin looked at him unexpectedly and said, "Don't you think my requirements are too high? Last year, I told my mother about my request, but I was scolded by her, saying that my idea was too strange and impossible to achieve. She also said that women should follow the "Women's Commandments", otherwise they would be rebellious and unwilling tolerated by the world."
As he said that, Zhang Huaijin pouted, lowering his head and showing an aggrieved expression.
Gu Qing wanted to rub her dog's head pitifully, but when he thought of just promised not to touch her again, he had to take his hand back and smiled: "Your idea is not at all rebellious. In more than a thousand years, women's requirements for choosing a husband are even higher. They want men to have money, cars, houses, careers, and savings. They need to have everything, but they cannot have a temper. You can have no feelings when talking about marriage and marriage. A few meetings can make a lifelong decision. The premise is that you can afford a bride price. The bride price is the "response" of the six rituals. The bride price often empties the life savings of the man's parents, and the wife you marry in the end may not be able to last forever. Maybe you will run away with someone else in a few years..."
Zhang Huaijin opened her eyes wide and said in surprise: "Whose woman is so shameless? Even if she sells herself at a high price, she still has to make a contract book? How can she run away with others? Wouldn't the government arrest her?"
"I can't catch it. At that time, freedom of marriage was emphasized. One was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten, and the government could not control it."
Zhang Huaijin looked at him suspiciously, and then snorted: "It must be the lies you made up to make me fool. How could human hearts be so rituals and music collapse? If a person loses his shame and morality, how is it different from a wild beast?"
Gu Qing was silent for a moment and suddenly laughed: "Okay, you saw through it. It was indeed the nonsense I made up to coax you."
Zhang Huaijin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. If your words are true, men would be too pitiful..."
Then Zhang Huaijin suddenly became happy and jumped to Gu Qing and said, "Do you really think I have low requirements?"
Gu Qing said sincerely: "It's really not high, it can be said to be very low. At least I agree very much."
Zhang Huaijin smiled and said, "You are the first person in the world who can agree with my ideas. You are worthy of being my second brother!"
Gu Qing said seriously: "I remember a poet named Gao Shi in the Tang Dynasty. He wrote a poem in Tianbao six years. One of them was 'Don't worry about having no friends in the future, and no one in the world knows you'. This sentence means farewell, but you may encourage yourself."
Zhang Huaijin looked at him with a bright look: "Second brother, you are my confidant. I suddenly felt... actually, marrying you is not a bad thing."
As if he heard a thunderbolt in his mind, Gu Qing's face remained unchanged, but his back was as furious as a cat in danger. His whole body was tense and his tone was still normal.
"Zhang Huaijin, brothers have done a good job, don't force me to turn against you."
…………
The two of them walked along Qujiang Pool for half an hour without realizing it. Gu Qing was a little tired and pointed to a pavilion beside the pool and said, "Sit for a while before leaving. You are almost going to Ziyun Tower. The banquet of the imperial concubine should be about to begin."
Zhang Huaijin said disgustedly: "You are too weak and you can't stand it after just how long you have left. Why don't I teach you kung fu tomorrow and work harder."
Gu Qing sighed listlessly: "I have always protected my body... Stop talking nonsense, I can't control myself from hurting people with bad words, leave."
The pavilion is built beside the Qujiang Pool. The pavilion has no name. There are several similar pavilions by the Qujiang River, which are specially designed for tourists to look out from a railing.
The two approached the pavilion and found someone in the pavilion. Zhang Huaijin was about to pull Gu Qing away, but suddenly they found a man and a woman in the pavilion, one was pulling hard, and the other was struggling hard.
The man was wearing a purple dress, his belt was covered with jade buckles, and he was holding the woman with a frivolous intention. The woman seemed to be a palace maid, but she struggled but did not dare to shout for help.
The two of them had been tangled for a long time, and the palace maid finally found an opportunity to push the man suddenly. The man was pushed back a few steps, and the palace maid took the opportunity to run away from the pavilion.
Gu Qing and Zhang Huaijin looked at him from afar. Zhang Huaijin was so angry that she trembled all over and said angrily: "This man is so shameless! A flirty woman in broad daylight is still in the Qujiang Garden where the imperial concubine holds a banquet. Is there no way to be a king?"
Gu Qing said lightly: "Forget it, since the woman has run away, this matter has passed. Let's go to Ziyun Tower and don't delay the time for the Empress to hold a banquet."
Zhang Huaijin said stubbornly: "No! You can't ignore the woman just because she escapes from the clutches. If you dare to be flirted with innocent women, you will be punished. I'll go up and destroy him!"
Gu Qing was so scared that he quickly grabbed her arm: "Don't mess around, the people who can enter this Qujiangchi today are all powerful and officials. They are either rich or noble. Don't make a mortal hatred for the Zhang family!"
"So what if you make enemies! The Zhang family is not afraid of trouble! If the justice in the world is not presided over and does not draw the sword when seeing injustice, wouldn't it be with those shameless people?" Zhang Huaijin said angrily.
Gu Qing sighed helplessly, why are the Zhang sisters one by one more than the other? What kind of family environment does the Zhang family have?
Pulling the angry Zhang Huaijin tightly, Gu Qing said helplessly: "Don't be impulsive, okay, what if I want me to vent my anger?"
Zhang Huaijin stared at him and said heavily: "It's helping justice and justice, not to help me!"
"You let justice stand in front of me, and I will beat him up and can't take care of myself. Stop talking nonsense, let me teach him a lesson. If you squat in the grass, don't make a sound, don't let someone recognize you."
Zhang Huaijin agreed reluctantly.
Gu Qing sighed and observed the terrain.
At this time, the two of them were a little far away from the pavilion. The man in the pavilion did not notice them. At this time, he was standing in the pavilion with his back to the edge of the pool, facing the duck that Qu Jiang was so annoyed that he was flying.
Gu Qing calculated the distance and felt that the time was right, so he walked forward with a slight hand and took every step silently without making any sound.
Zhang Huaijin opened her eyes wide, and saw Gu Qing sneaking up at the pavilion, covering her mouth nervously, and looking at him with anticipation.
Gu Qing walked into the pavilion step by step, and was already very close to the man.
The man still turned his back to him and kept cursing at Qujiang.
Gu Qing took another step, the distance was just right, and then stretched out his straight and slender legs, aimed at the man's butt, and suddenly kicked him hard!
thump!
Chapter completed!
