The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 27 The Emperor's Favorite Servant and Governor Gu's Family (Please recommend!)
(Xiaohe is currently busy with the finishing of old books, and will resume the new book with a [-]-word chapter starting tomorrow, wait for me)

The story of the young master Zhang's family picked up from the mountain was widely spread, and before dinner time, almost everyone in Xiniang Village knew about it.Li Zheng also came to inquire about what kind of brother from a wealthy family went to the old mountain and fell into the trap of hunting wild wolves.

It's a pity that Lizheng was in vain once, except for cutting the poisonous flesh, the young master woke up once, and passed out the rest of the time.

Xiuyan and Daiyu who live in the backyard don't care about this matter, they are busy teaching the little fat man Zhengde!

This stinky boy is so brave enough to touch wild wolves.Although it is said to be dead, it is still a ferocious beast. If it encounters a living one next time, Zhengde will not know how to avoid it, and the two sisters dare not think about the consequences.

Zhengde also extremely regretted going to his sisters to show off, if he knew the result, he would have calmed down a long time ago.

Xiuyan played a black face, Daiyu played a red face, and occasionally Zijuan and Zhuan'er joked beside him, saying that Zhengde was red-faced, and he was taught a lesson for two hours. He drank three pots of tea, if it weren't for Lu Send someone to ask them to eat, I'm afraid the two young ladies can still preach for another hour.

Seeing his son almost running into the main hall, Mrs. Lu laughed and scolded: "What is chasing you behind? It looks like a rabbit."

The third aunt of the Xing family hugged Zhengde in her arms, fondling her fondly: "Auntie asked someone to burn a wild duck for you, and your mother said that she sent away our Zhengde's pony?"

Zhengde pouted aggrievedly: "I don't know if the people in Zhuangzi will give it fodder to eat, my little white dragon is so precious!"

Xiuyan who had just entered the door smiled and spat: "Even if they don't eat or drink by themselves, they don't dare to neglect your little white dragon! First practice your half-baked skills, and when you can really ride a horse and fly a swallow, you can gallop freely At the time, let alone your little white dragon, I wouldn’t feel bad even if I gave you another little Tang monk.”

Daiyu giggled early, and seeing Zhengde's small appearance of daring to be angry but not speaking, she couldn't help laughing.

All of a sudden, Jia Lian and Heping'er also came, and the third aunt of the Xing family hurriedly asked someone to invite the men back for dinner.In the main hall, there is a table for men and women, with the same dishes, but Xing Zhong and the others have a few more jugs of good wine.

Because the distance was not far away, Lu Shi asked, "How did you save that child in the first afternoon? Did you bring something to show your identity?"

Xing Zhong ate a glass of wine, and then slowly said: "There is an envelope stuffed in the lapel, and the name of the governor of Liangjiang is written on it, but the letter is missing. I think, I will send someone to the governor of Changzhou in the morning Let's ask the government to see if anyone knows this young man."

Xing Zhong didn't care. The current governor of Liangjiang is called Gu Peisheng. As early as the time of the Supreme Emperor, this Gu Peisheng was the person in the current emperor's residence.Today, the body regards him as a confidant. According to Xing Zhong's knowledge, the emperor placed Gu Peisheng in the important place of Liangjiang just to keep an eye on Lin Ruhai.

When Jia Lian heard the name of the governor of Liangjiang, he quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said with great interest: "I heard from the masters that the position of governor of Liangjiang was originally reserved for the Zhen family by the Supreme Emperor. Come on, tell Gu Peisheng to take advantage of this loophole."

Although the Zhen family's ancestral home is Jinling, just like the Ningrong Second House moved to the capital, the Zhen family also lived in Jiangnan for three or four generations.Zhen Yingjia, the helm of the Zhen family, was the most hopeful to take over this position. The late old matriarch of the Zhen family was the wet nurse of the Supreme Emperor. One thing is to send Gu Peisheng here, what else can the Supreme Emperor say?
Jia Lian didn't have a lot of experience, and they were all old articles from hearsay. He couldn't analyze them himself, so he quickly put the matter behind him and devoted himself to asking his uncle for advice on the southward travel of the fleet.

On the second day, just as the Xing family was about to have breakfast, the servant suddenly came to report that the boy had woken up and wanted to see his savior.Xing Zhong and Mrs. Lu went to the guest house side by side, just like Zhang's uncle said, the young man recovered very quickly, seeing the couple enter the door, not only awake, but also struggling to salute.

Xing Zhong pressed him down: "Good boy, don't move, your injury is not a minor injury, it's important to lie down and take care of it."

"Even so, the kid still wants to thank benefactor for saving his life."

Lu Shi didn't speak all the time, but he liked the young man's polite manner in his heart.Although he was a bit embarrassed, his appearance was absolutely outstanding. In his previous life, he was probably like the handsome boy his daughter said, right?

Lu smiled and sat down on the embroidered pier one step ahead of Xing Zhong. The young man was surprised to see Xing Zhong standing behind the woman instead.

"Master, madam, the boy's name is Gu, he is the second in the family, and his parents only call me Erlang. Because I went outing with my younger brother in the countryside, I don't want to meet wild wolves. My younger brother is him."

It is said that men don't flick their tears easily, because they haven't reached the place where they are sad.Gu Erlang was so choked up that he couldn't speak, Xing Zhong thought that his younger brother might have been killed, so he comforted him: "Erlang's condolences, the most important thing now is to inform your parents first, so that they don't worry."

Gu Erlang hurriedly wiped away his tears, holding back his grief: "What benefactor said is true, I don't know benefactor."

Mrs. Lu hurriedly laughed and said: "My master's surname is Xing, he is the local county magistrate, this is our sister-in-law's husband's house, because he came to celebrate the festival, so by chance, he rescued the young master."

When Gu Erlang heard that the other party was still an official, he hurriedly said: "It turns out that it is Lord Xing. Erlang's father is Gu Peisheng, Governor of Liangjiang. Please ask Lord Xing to send someone to come and pick me up."

When Gu Erlang said this, he hurriedly said: "No, no, I can't go back, I failed to protect my third brother, my father and mother will beat me to death."

Seeing that Gu Erlang was also a boy of sixteen or seventeen, Mrs. Lu couldn't help being moved with compassion, and quickly comforted him softly: "Erlang, don't worry, this is not your original intention, or maybe, your brother, like you, also escaped." After a catastrophe?"

A fierce light flashed in Gu Erlang's eyes with his head down, but unfortunately neither Xing Zhong nor Lu Shi saw it.

Gu Erlang knelt on the bed with force, kowtowed to Xing Zhong and Lu Shi: "I beg Mrs. Xing and Madam Xing to send someone to go up the mountain to look for my brother."

Seeing that Gu Erlang was about to fall down, Mrs. Lu hurriedly pushed him down, "You child, if you have something to say, why are you so out of touch."

Xing Zhong coughed lightly, but Lu turned around and gave Xing Zhong a look.Xing Zhong, who was like a sheep in front of his wife, could only laugh and say, "Yes, Erlang, why bother to see outsiders."

Gu Erlang said in a muffled voice: "Your Excellency and Madam don't know, I am the concubine of the family, and although the third brother was also born by his aunt, he was raised under the name of his mother since he was a child. My mother has always disliked me. If she knows that I have not protected the third brother Brother, I am afraid of my aunt and myself"

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to recite, and when Lu Shi heard that Gu Erlang said that he was a concubine, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and his face was unavoidably a little pale.

Gu Erlang saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
