Chapter 49: The Family
Sun's childbirth did not add a final straw to the tense nerves of the Zhang family. Only half an hour after entering the makeshift delivery room, a crisp baby cry came out of the room. After a while, the door that had just been closed was opened in a hurry, and the joyful face of the pearl poked out.
"Mother and daughter are safe, my wife gave birth to a young lady!"
Everyone who had been waiting outside for a long time in the cold weather was relieved, and Zhang Yue even had an extremely strange idea in this situation - his father is three at home, and he is also three among his grandchildren, and now he has a younger sister, and he is also three among the sisters - is their family so close to this three words?
And the news that came immediately also broke Zhang You's iceberg face, Pearl had just reported the good news, and a big girl in the main room also rushed out in a hurry, shouting repeatedly: "The old lady is awake, the old lady is awake!" ”
Hearing the news, a group of people immediately turned back to the main room. Even Zhang Zhuo and Zhang Yue, who were concerned, could only take a look of concern at the east wing, and then hardened their hearts and didn't turn their heads.
Although Gu's face was a little pale when he woke up, he was in good spirits. Hearing that the third daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter safely, she bowed her head slightly, relieved and a little melancholy: "If it was placed in the past, there was such a granddaughter, how could I have to celebrate and celebrate, but now I almost missed the third daughter-in-law." Lingxi, you should find a few proper mothers-in-law and girls to serve the mattress, and you don't have to move around in this cold day, just in the east chamber. ”
Lingxi agreed, and retreated while taking the other girls in the room. As a result, only the children, grandchildren, and daughters-in-law of the Zhang family were left standing underground at this time. Seeing that Gu Shi was supporting his body and wanted to do it, Zhang Yue, who was quick-eyed, hurriedly stepped forward and took a hand, helped his grandmother sit up straight, and put a thick pillow under her waist and the back of her neck, and then retreated to the side.
"I've lived most of my life, and it's been about too long to be comfortable, and I'm in turmoil in the face of today's great changes, but thanks to your calmness." Gu Shi swept over the people in front of him one by one, but his eyes finally fell on the second son Zhang You, and then asked in a deep voice, "Second brother, if it is up to you to call the shots at this time, what do you want to do?" ”
"Son......" Zhang You couldn't show the cool and decisive decision just now, and hesitated for a moment before making up his mind, "Anyway, this time is extremely unusual." This time, the British prince returned triumphantly, and his son was originally going to be transferred back to the capital, so why don't you rush to the capital now to find out what is going on, and by the way, you can do another activity or two......
Gu Shi sighed tiredly, and immediately turned to Zhang Zhuo: "Third child, what do you say?" ”
"Son...... And the second brother has an idea. Zhang Zhuo never thought that his mother would ask for his opinion on such a big matter, but he was a little caught off guard, and after a pause, he changed his words, "But my son feels that the second brother has not yet been ordered by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and it is not appropriate to go to Nanjing rashly, so it is better for my son to rush to Nanjing to arrange it alone." ”
Faced with these two answers, which were slightly different but not different in essence, Gu Shi was noncommittal, but continued to ask: "Since you are all going to Nanjing, then who of you will tell me what happened this time?" ”
Zhang You has been fighting in Jiaozhi in the extreme south all these years, although Zhang Zhuo passed the examination, but he has never really entered the officialdom, but he is not very clear about the changes in Nanjing City. The brothers glanced at each other, and finally Zhang You said in a deep voice: "It's nothing more than that some people are unwilling to see that the Zhang family is full of honor, so they gathered a few imperial histories for impeachment." ”
"If it's just a mere impeachment, will you actually send out the Jinyi Guard? If it hadn't been hasty, the British Guild wouldn't have sent a letter? ”
Gu asked two questions in a row, and when he saw that his two sons were silent, he shook his head gently. glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law Feng who was distracted and the second daughter-in-law Dongfang who was dazed, and saw Zhang Chao clenching his small fists angrily, but Zhang Zhen was biting her lip stubbornly, she couldn't help but become more and more anxious, but at this time, she suddenly saw Zhang Yue with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Brother Yue, what do you think of today's events?"
Zhang Yue thought that his grandmother was likely to ask his son and grandson one by one, but he was a little surprised when he crossed Zhang Chao and Zhang Brother fell directly on him. Today is the first Mu Ning he received, he already knows more about the inside story, plus he has sorted out a general context of all the situations when he is waiting for his mother to give birth outside, and what he is struggling with at this time is only the problem of how to arrange the language.
"Grandmother, that Mu Qianhu mentioned today that Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was imprisoned in the city a few days ago, and countless of his henchmen were killed, which can be regarded as the most sensational thing in Nanjing City recently. I once heard Mr. Du mention that Ji Gang was once attached to the prince of the Han Dynasty......"
Before he could finish his words, Gu Shi and Zhang You snorted in unison, and their faces changed drastically. Although they were not in the capital, they had also heard that the Han King Zhu Gaoxu and the crown prince were fighting for power, and the prince was suppressed everywhere and his position was in jeopardy. Because the King of Han used to be a fierce general in the army, and he was very close to a family of generals like the Zhang family, and he also received a generous gift on Gu's birthday last time, that is, Zhang You had also received the "goodwill" of the King of Han in Jiaozhi, and it is even more difficult to say whether Zhang Xin had other contacts when he was an official in the capital alone.
"Brother Yue means to say...... Ji Gang's death, it is very likely that the emperor has been dissatisfied with the King of Han? ”
"I just guessed what Mu Qianhu revealed, and I still have to ask my grandmother to decide."
Gu Shi's expression eased at this time, stared at Zhang Yue for a while, she nodded lightly and said, "If that's the case, you can't go to Nanjing City rashly. Since that Mu Qianhu said in front of me that Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Si would not treat the boss harshly, there is no need to be in a hurry to mess up for a while, and wait for the British duke to see if there is a letter from the British duke. ”
Zhang You also looked at Zhang Yue in surprise at this time, and then nodded yes: "Then do as my mother said." However, it is not appropriate to handle the marriage now, so it is better to go to the Jin Mansion to inform it, postpone Chao'er's marriage for a year and a half, and wait until the dust settles on this matter. ”
"It's okay, it's really not appropriate to do a marriage at this moment, it's better for you to go and make it clear in person, lest the Jin family think that we are deliberately delaying again. After all, it's Kaifeng's parents over there, so don't offend if you can. Gu Shi glanced at Zhang Chao as he spoke, and said with a pleasant face, "Brother Chao, something happened suddenly, and I want to wronged you." ”
Zhang Chao replied categorically: "Grandmother, what are these words, I am the eldest brother, of course I can't just care about marrying my wife at this time." ”
At this moment, Zhang Zhen, who had been gritting his teeth and being silent, suddenly stepped forward and knelt down, and slammed his head down: "Father is in prison, I, who is a son, can't enjoy happiness at home, I beg my grandmother to let me and my mother go back to Nanjing!" ”
This time, in the face of the eldest grandson of the long house, who had always been favored, Gu Shi showed an annoyed expression. She angrily stretched out her hand and hammered the bed board, and then scolded sharply: "Can you, a minor child, do more than the British Duke and our family?" Your father is my kinsman, the elder brother of your second and third uncles, and the eldest uncle of the juniors, and you are not the only ones who are worried! I've just said that I'll talk about anything until the British Duke has a letter! ”
Looking at the figure of Zhang Zhen lying on the ground sobbing, Zhang Yue felt for the first time that this little guy who was usually a little annoying was very pitiful - after all, this was only a twelve-year-old child.
