concubine leisurely

Chapter 123

"This time I'm really sick." Zhang Zhao didn't return until late at night, Wu stood up to greet him, and said eagerly and gloatingly.Duke Wei and Mrs. Guo had tormented the Hefu quite a while ago, and of course Wu's son-in-law and daughter-in-law were not spared; now that Mrs. Guo is really ill, she feels quite happy.

Zhang Zhao glanced at his wife lightly, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Guogong is nothing more than worried about the third brother. She is angry for a while, and there are some; I hope she recovers quickly, otherwise..." Zhang Zhao didn't go any further, just meaning It is very obvious: if the wife of the Duke is always ill, the descendants will have to take care of the illness; if unfortunately she passes away, it will be even happier, and the descendants will want Ding You. This Ding You will last for three years; after three years, it is hard to say whether she will recover.

Wu smiled reservedly, "My brother said that someone like you, with a high position and power, and a second-rank official, can still win love as usual." According to the law of the Celestial Dynasty, anyone who has lost his or her parents must have Ding You; But if his position is really important and he can't leave, the emperor will give special approval to not return to Ding You, his hometown, to endure the pain of losing his relatives, to still be loyal to his duties, and to serve the country, the king and the people. ".

Zhang Zhao looked at Wu's eyes sharply.Duoqing?Guan Lin, the chief assistant of Emperor Xiaowu, was "robbed of his love" when his father died. Guan Lin repeatedly wrote to ask to return to Ding You, but Emperor Xiaowu repeatedly refused and forced Guan Lin to stay. Later, Guan Lin lost power and was called a "beast". How about ", when his father passed away, he didn't mourn his bones, and he still had the mind to do business, so he was in vain as a son of man!
Now that Duke Wei's mansion is declining day by day, if he doesn't keep his tail between his legs, what else would he want to show off?Whether it's a wife or a brother-in-law, I really don't know what to say.Zhang Zhao frowned slightly.

The Wu family was in a good mood, turning a blind eye to her husband's eyes, pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the two eldest princesses are honorable enough, but they both have a hard life." The eldest princess Funing has a son-in-law to follow There is no concubine, but she actually guards the living widow; let alone the eldest princess of Qingchuan, she is dying of illness, and the concubine sees through the red dust again and becomes a monk.

What happened to the princess with golden branches and jade leaves?It's not as good as my granddaughter, who is a loving husband and wife and filial sons and daughters.Smiling, Mrs. Wu held a bowl filled with blanks from the official kiln, and looked at the tea leaves in the bowl like flags, which were really beautiful and fragrant, and made her feel very happy.

Zhang Zhao closed his eyes tiredly.There was a new group of people in the cabinet of the DPRK and China, and the situation was very different. It was just a time for people to worry and worry, but the incident of Zhang Yi and Zhang Ming happened again, which made the situation even worse. "Why did you come back so late today?" Wu Shi asked casually while drinking tea comfortably.

"I went to Jietai Temple." Zhang Zhao's voice really matched the cold winter weather, and it was also icy cold.

Jietai Temple?Isn't that the monastery where Zhang Ming became a monk?Clan Wu suddenly raised her head and saw her husband's displeased face, and realized that she was happy too early.

It is actually a good thing for Duke Wei's mansion that Zhang Ming became a monk.Because of King Wu, Wei Guogong's mansion has been treated coldly by the emperor all these years, and even Zhang Zhao's official career has been affected.Now once Zhang Ming becomes a monk, Zhang Yi will marry Shanyang and take Zhang Nian away, then Duke Wei's mansion will have nothing to do with King Wu.

It is precisely because of this level that although Wei Guogong felt uncomfortable about Zhang Ming becoming a monk, he knew it was a good thing rationally; died.

The stumbling block to her husband's official career is gone, and the "mother-in-law" who I don't like is getting sick. These are all good things.Wu's heart was so happy that he couldn't hide it.He was overjoyed for a while, but he forgot that Zhang Ming had a gentle temperament and did not treat his younger brother harshly; Zhang Zhao was also affectionate, and the two brothers, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Ming, had a good relationship for many years.How can Zhang Zhao be in a good mood when Zhang Ming becomes a monk?
"There are still business matters to be dealt with." Zhang Zhao was agitated, and fled to the study to hide himself on the pretext of business affairs.Watching her husband leave in a hurry, Wu bit her lips tightly.They have been husband and wife for decades, and he just lost his composure for a while, yet he is so merciless!

I was sulking for a long time.Mrs. Wu suddenly thought of one thing, and she was happy again: Zhang Zhao and Zhang Ming are just brothers, and she has already suffered a disaster; Meng Youran, her husband is Zhang Ming's biological son!At this moment, I don't know what kind of famine Meng Youran is fighting.If the father-in-law is a monk, can the husband look good?
Thinking that he was not the only one who was unlucky, Wu's anger calmed down.

At this time, Zhang Bing was leaning against Youran, confiding sullenly, "I have already said, I am not afraid of getting involved, let him live in our house, you and I will be filial to him; I also said that if he is sincere in his heart, Isn’t it the same for us to set up a Buddhist hall at home? Or be a lay Buddhist. But no matter what I say, he won’t open his eyes to look at me, and he won’t open his mouth to speak. He just closes his eyes and recites the Buddha’s name.” , It's suffocating.In the end, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Jin, and Zhang Bing had no choice but to leave Jietai Temple disconsolately and return in vain.

Leisurely caressing his temples, she said softly, "I saw this saying in a temple before: If you are full of things in the world, you will speak lazily, and you will only nod your head when you are human. Daddy, he may be tired, so we will let him go." Let him have a good rest, okay?" He is so tired that he wants to escape from the world of mortals, and it is not kind of you to use the banner of your relatives to force others into trouble.

When a person doesn't want to talk, there are a group of people around him, talking to him, asking him to talk, alas, no winking, really no winking.

"Would you just nod your head when you are full of worldly affairs?" Zhang Bing repeated silently, feeling sad in his heart, did he really have no relationship with his parents?

The wife's gentle and pleasant voice rang in my ears, "Sometimes when I'm in a bad mood, I go to the Buddhist hall. I just recite the scriptures and recite the Buddha, and I feel calm. The Buddhist hall is a holy place. Dad is willing to practice in a holy place to find peace of mind. It's a good thing."

"But, it's too bitter." Zhang Bing hesitated.Monks practice, they have to do morning classes and evening classes, and they don’t have good food and housing. How can Zhang Ming be able to bear it since he was a child.

"Physical suffering is nothing." Leisurely sighed, "The suffering in the heart is the real suffering."

Seeing that Zhang didn't move, he comforted him and said, "Jietai Temple is not far away, let's visit his old man often." Then he took his hand and put it on his stomach, and said with a smile, "When the child is born, we will give it to him." Daddy is watching. Do you think Daddy is reluctant to come back after seeing the child?"

There was a smile in Zhang Bing's eyes, lying on his wife's belly, Xu Xu talked to the child, "My dear daughter, I will take you to play with me in the future." Youran couldn't help laughing, "How do you know it's a daughter?"

Zhang Bing said proudly, "Of course I know. This child is not troublesome at all, so well-behaved, she must be a daughter!" After finishing his complacency, he said to his wife in a serious manner, "Didn't we agree that Mr. is a daughter, and my brother wants to see you?" The way I was when I was a child."

I can't bear it.When you take this as an order, you get what you want.Leisurely groaned, lay down on her back, unable to communicate with such a person, sleep, sleep.

Zhang is not conscious at all.Immediately after, he lay down, hugged his wife, and chattered endlessly that the child would be as smart, as beautiful, and as cute as her mother after birth... Is this the taciturn tall man?Leisurely listened in a daze, and unconsciously fell asleep.

The next night, Zhang Bing stared at Youran with accusing eyes, "I talked to you last night, but you ignored me." He just went to sleep by himself.Her husband spoke in her ear, which she used as a lullaby.

"Pregnant women like to sleep." Mimi smiled leisurely.Whether you are pregnant or pregnant, you don't need to bother to make excuses, "What did you say to me last night?" Slightly apologetic, she grabbed her husband's hand and asked attentively.

Zhang Bing raised his wife's little hand, put it to his lips and kissed twice, and said with a smile, "I want to ask you, what should we give her when Ah Yi gets married in a few days?" Get married soon.

"She's going to live in Shanyang with Xiang Xi. Let's give her Shanyang's house and Zhuangzi. It's practical. There are also some gold and silver jewelry, which are also indispensable. Bring more silver tickets for self-defense." Youran had already made a clear plan. He only has this half-sister, it would be best to accompany her more, peace of mind.

Zhang Bing was very happy, "My daughter-in-law is so kind." Zhang Yi's wedding was organized by the Ministry of Etiquette, and everything was done according to the etiquette system. It will not be too extravagant or too shabby, but the wedding will be deserted.There is no one left in Xiang's house, and in Zhang's house, Zhang Ming has become a monk, so he can't go by himself; since people can't go, then they should give more gifts.

That's all your property, okay?I'm just being a facilitator.You Ran has no concept of joint property between husband and wife, only thinks that most of the property in the family is combined, and she really can't understand his happiness.

Three days later, Xiang Xi and Zhang Yi got married.On the second day of the wedding, Xiang Xi ordered someone to pack up and planned to return to Shanyang in three days.

"The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, has the princess heard of it?" Xiang Xi said lightly, "They have lived in seclusion in Baijiayan for more than [-] years, and we will return there."

"Husband and ancestor, is Xiang Xiu?" Zhang Yi was puzzled, but he didn't show anything on his face, he just responded softly, "Okay." He didn't ask any unnecessary words.

Zhang Niandian ran over, "Brother-in-law, is Baijiayan fun?" Although it's not good to be away from parents, maybe it's enough to follow sister and brother-in-law.

"There are mountains and water, and the scenery is beautiful," Xiang Xi smiled, "The rocks are red and very beautiful." Zhang Nian clapped his hands and laughed, "Then I can travel around the mountains and rivers all day long?"

Zhang Yi stretched out his hand to embrace Zhang Nian, "Brother, you are not in good health, you need to rest at home." Zhang Nian pouted, "I'm bored in the room all day, and I'm sick even if I'm not sick."

Xiang Xi stared at the pair of siblings, and said slowly, "There is a canyon called Wenpanyu near Baijiayan. It is warm like spring in all seasons, and Anian can go to play; and it is rich in herbs, which is just right for Anian to slowly recuperate his body." .”

Zhang Yi's heart warmed, he was willing to completely give up his official career to marry him, and he took care of Ah Nian like this, he won such a son-in-law in adversity, what more could a husband ask for.

Zhang Yi didn't know why Xiang Xi wanted to marry him, he only vaguely knew that Xiang Xi was Zhang Bing's friend, did he marry him for the sake of his brother?Zhang Yi didn't know, and didn't dare to ask.

After going through hardships, she now only wants to live in peace and contentment, and doesn't want to be afraid anymore.

"Over the years, I have never dared to go back to Shanyang." Xiang Xi couldn't hide the melancholy in her voice, "Now, I have to go back." After marrying a bride, she always wants to see her in the temple and worship her ancestors.

"Don't dare to go back to Shanyang", probably because the whole family died of the plague, Zhang Yi took courage, approached Xiang Xi, gently grabbed his hand, trying to comfort him.

This timid look, am I scary?Xiang Xi shook his head and held Zhang Yi's hand, "Zhang asked me to take care of you and Anian. Ah Yi, come home with me."
