When Zhang Juling returned to the Zhang family in Gu'an from the yamen, it was already dark.
"Master, what are you eating?"
Shuming followed him through the moon gate and walked towards Qiulan Pavilion.
"Don't panic, I'll see if your young lady has eaten it first, and then..." After saying halfway, I remembered that Gu Han and the child were still living in the Gu family. He stopped and turned to look at Shuming, "Let the kitchen cook some food casually."
The lights were still on in Qiulan Pavilion, and the wife's clothes and jewelry were still there, but she was not there.
Loneliness follows like a shadow, and the heart seems to be missing a corner.
Now that things have come, he really regrets it. Even though he knows his wife’s intentions, why bother to make her sad because of a dispute of one or two words?
If she makes her sad, how good can she be?
He was the first to make mistakes, why did he become impatient when he saw her?
Shu Ming just pretended that he didn't see his master's reaction, and agreed, and asked again: "Is it okay to stew mutton noodles with staple food?"
He remembered that the master liked this taste very much, and he often ate it when the young lady was there.
Zhang Juling said "yes" and raised his foot to walk up the steps.
Today, he has been discussing a series of imperial city security deployments such as national defense strategies with several officials of the Ministry of War. Before he knew it, it was very late.
The dinner was arranged in the East Room of Qiulan Pavilion. In addition to a large bowl of mutton noodles with blue and white porcelain, there were also several home-cooked side dishes.
As soon as Zhang Juling sat down and picked up the chopsticks, a report from the little girl came from outside the door, saying that Sun Ju had something to ask for a meeting.
"Come in."
Sun raised the curtain and entered the house. When he approached Zhang Juling, he bowed and bowed: "Master, you asked the subordinates to investigate Miss Gu Er... they have all found out."
"Tell me."
Zhang Juling took a sip of the noodle soup and said in a light tone: "What's wrong?"
"The young lady saw you and..." Sun Ju coughed twice, pointing out: "In fact, Miss Gu Er pointed at him. She suspected that Miss Gu Si's death was related to the young lady, so she tried every means to make things difficult for her..."
"Nothing else?"
Zhang Juling's face was gloomy.
Gu Zhao's death was indeed something he asked someone to do, but he was worthy of death.
If she had not died, she would not know how many evil things she could do to falsely accuse her wife.
Gu Qing is a smart person, and she can guess one or two... but she has a wrongdoing and debt.
Gu Qing did not come to take revenge on him, but he used his wife to pick up soft persimmons, which almost killed the mother and son.
Afterwards, he pretended to be nothing but wandered around in front of everyone.
The methods and mind are also quite powerful.
Sun Ju shook his head: "Miss Gu Er's relationship with the young lady is basically okay, at least she will still care about her external face... It has become like this since Miss Gu Si died."
He paused for a moment and continued, "I also tried a lot of effort to pry Miss Gu Er's close-fitting girl to know."
"Tell Gu Jingran what you found truthfully."
Zhang Juling lowered his eyes and sneered, "...let him deal with it."
"I?"
Sun Ju was stunned.
"Mr. Sun, why are you confused now? The master means that you will go to find that girl and ask her to talk about it."
Shuming reminded Sun Ju.
"oh……"
Sun raised his hand and responded to "yes", looked at Shuming and smiled, which was considered thanks.
He heard Zhang Juling say again.
"For Gu Qing to admire the most, her beloved father took off her true face with his own hands, which was the biggest blow to her."
"I understand, let's do it now."
Sun Ju and Shuming looked at each other and retreated.
After eating eighty-minute full, Zhang Juling asked Shuming to remove the food.
According to his past habits, he read idle books, bathed and slept for a while.
There are two pairs of pillows and two pairs of quilts on the bed with purple nan wood carved lotus.
He often covered it with a sky blue Ruyi cloud pattern quilt, while his wife's water-red crabapple quilt.
The quilt is thicker and warmer than the cotton stuffed with quilts.
He is not afraid of the cold and cannot use a quilt in the middle of winter.
And his wife is exactly the opposite of him.
Maybe it's because of my years of illness and weakness, my body can't bear the chill.
Zhang Juling looked at the water red crabapple quilt for a while, put down his tent, hugged it and fell asleep.
He had a dream, dreaming that his wife came back with her son in her arms, and sat beside him, chatting and making fun, and it was particularly lively.
When I woke up, I realized that they were all fake, and he was the only one in the bed.
Never missed my wife like this moment.
The sun shines into the house through the window, and it is deserted.
Zhang Juling immediately made a decision and got up to dress.
I didn't even care about breakfast, so I asked Shuming to prepare a carriage.
Gu Han was awakened by Brother Man, and his clothes had already spread out.
Brother Man tried his best to find his chest with just a little head...
"Good brother, are you hungry?"
She skillfully picked up her son and called Taohong to find her wet nurse.
Brother Man finally touched his food and was suddenly held away, crying in a hurry.
"Good brother, it's because my mother is not good, so I won't cry anymore."
While coaxing his son, Gu Han used a rattle to tease him.
Although she often felt her chest swelling, she kept the medicine in her mouth and did not dare to feed Brother Man...
Brother Man was so hungry that he ignored his mother.
Tears were covered in my face, and I felt very sad.
Li came here from Taohong. Seeing the young master crying sadly, he immediately took it over and skillfully untied his clothes.
He hugged him into the green yarn cabinet.
The Bisha Cabinet was newly carried to the young lady's room, so that she and Lin could feed the young master.
They also have separate residences, and like girls and mothers, they rest in the back room.
I didn't take care of the young master at night, and I was always handled by the young lady. I only came here when it was time to feed or the young lady ordered her to temporarily.
Gu Han also went into the Bisha Cabinet to see Brother Man. Seeing that he was eating sweetly, he stopped crying, and he felt much more at ease.
"Mrs. Young Master, Young Master is so cute."
Taolu stood aside and talked to Gu Han: "I won't cry whenever I have something to eat."
Taohong smiled at her silly: "You are very happy to see what you eat."
“That’s true.”
Taolu thought for a while: "Sister Qiaoling gave me a bag of chestnut cake last night, so it was so delicious..." She often talked to Qiaoling recently and was in a particularly good mood.
Taohong looked at her and shook her head, holding Gu Han's hand out of the blue tile cabinet, "Mrs. Young lady, I will wait for you to wash, it's time to have breakfast later."
"OK."
Gu Han agreed to get the apricot-yellow bamboo leaf-patterned crock on the clothes hanger.
Brother Man was full and burped, and after being coaxed by Li, he fell asleep again.
Gu Han just drank a bowl of red dates and longan porridge with ham, eggs and pancakes, and a girl came in to report: "Mrs. Young lady, someone has come to the old lady's room. Let you go there... Master Gu is here and I want to pick you up."
Zhang Juling?
Gu Han was extremely surprised.
He said he would take him back in the past two days, but why did he come to the door early in the morning?
Furthermore, isn’t he unable to get in the Gu family’s gate?
"Young lady..."
Taohong glanced at Gu Han: "You should go to Lingboyuan. The third young master will be happy to see you."
The masters clearly had the same minds, but they were awkward to each other. They were anxious to watch them.
Gu Han didn't say anything. She couldn't understand Zhang Juling's temperament best. Since she came to the mansion, she would not be able to meet or disappear.
"Tao Lu, you guys stay in the house to take care of Brother Man..." Gu Han stood up and told Tao Lu, Xia Feng, Xia Yu: "I'll come when I go."
"Don't worry."
Taolu looked happy: "Young Master will leave it to us."
Gu Han let out a long sigh, not understanding why, his heartbeat suddenly became faster.
She held Taohong's hand and walked into her grandmother's room.
Zhang Juling sat in the main hall and lowered her head to drink tea. Grandfather, grandmother, uncle Gu Jingran, third uncle Gu Jingwen, and mother were all there, and she bowed and bowed.
"Sister Han, come and sit next to my grandmother."
When Wu saw his granddaughter coming over, he waved his hand: "I'm sorry, why are your eyes a little dark? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"……No."
Gu Han smiled.
She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Zhang Juling, but she didn't expect that he was also looking at her.
The eyes are burning.
Gu Han quickly stopped looking at him and sat next to Wu: "Grandmother, is there anything wrong with calling your granddaughter?"
Wu smiled and took his granddaughter's hand: "Because your body needs care for some time ago, my grandmother couldn't bear to let you go back to Gu'an. Now, Dr. Han said that your body has recovered well and is not seriously injured..." She kindly said: "Come on, Su Zhi came to call you again, so let's go back with him, live a good life, and come to see your grandmother and your mother again in her spare time..." When Princess An Ning died, she felt much better.
Sun's eyes turned red, and he took out a handkerchief from the cuff to wipe his tears: "Sister Han, your grandmother is right.
My mother just can’t bear to leave you and Brother Man.”
Gu Han was simply stunned.
What exactly did Zhang Juling do?
Why did everyone's attitude change overnight?
She forced herself to look back at Zhang Juling, but she heard the third uncle talking to Zhang Juling.
"Sister Han is with you, you'd better fulfill your promise..." Gu Jingwen frowned: "Otherwise, our Gu family is not easy to bully.
We can also raise Sister Han in our lifetime.
Of course no one dares to say a word.”
Zhang Juling poured Gu Jingwen a cup of hot tea: "Natural."
A gentleman promises a thousand gold, and I will definitely do what I say.
Uncle San doesn't believe it, so he can supervise it at any time.
Besides, Han'er is my wife. Who else can I do if I don't treat her well?"
“That’s good.”
Gu Lin waved his hand: "Honey and wife should communicate and understand each other... I also know that you are the busiest on weekdays, so go back and pack up your things."
Zhang Juling stood up and bowed: "Thank you grandfather for your compassion."
After Zhang Juling said this, Gu Han had to get up and go out with Zhang Juling in a fog.
As soon as the couple left Lingboyuan, more than a dozen secret guards came out of the dark place to show up.
Gu Han had seen such a scene before, so he looked back and didn't say anything.
Zhang Juling reached out to pull his wife's hand, feeling her stiffness, but did not break away.
On the way, Gu Han couldn't help but curiosity and asked Zhang Juling: "What did you and grandmother say?"
Zhang Juling tilted his head to look at her, and his smile slowly bloomed on his face, "Guess."
Obviously, he didn't intend to tell his wife.
There is no need to say it either.
It was originally what he planned.
He never takes concubines for his whole life, but only loyal to his wife.
Gu Han has the right to divorce his husband, but he cannot divorce his wife... For this reason, he also wrote a guarantee letter, signed, sealed, and pressed his handprints.
The guarantee letter is handed over to the Gu family for safekeeping. Once it cannot be done, the Gu family can announce it to the world... This is actually a shameful act for any man, not to mention that his reputation is even more important in the court.
Zhang Juling was very happy.
What is the status and reputation of the Pavilion Master are all false.
Only the love held in your hands is the most real.
In order for this guarantee letter to be exchanged for the Gu family's renewed trust in him, Zhang Juling felt it was worth it.
"I can't guess."
