It was a cold winter night, and Gan Yuan was taken out of her warm house without even a coat. She was shivering from the cold.
He folded his arms and shouted at Zhang Fu and others, asking Wu Youcai to punish them.
Zhang Fu frowned, what kind of high official is Wu Youcai? After reading the Four Books and Five Classics, has he become a high official?
In recent years, relying on his power to run rampant outside, he was not unaware of it. But thinking that it was harmless and that the minister had some flaws, it would be more reassuring for the emperor to use it, so he didn't take care of it.
But if Wu Youcai touches his people, his children...
He will never be lenient.
He winked at Zhang Jin.
Zhang Jin then kicked Gan Yuan in the hollow of her knees, making her kneel down in front of Zhang Fu, "My master is asking you questions, and you must answer truthfully."
Gan Yuan looked around. She didn't know the British man, but he didn't react at all when she called out Wu Youcai's name. The situation was stronger than her, so Gan Yuan immediately gave in.
After she finished explaining, Zhang Jin popped a pill into her mouth and said, "In half a month, I will send you the antidote. If you reveal today's date, you will die from intestinal rupture and rot.
"
Gan Yuan originally wanted to wait until she saw Wu Youcai and have a good talk with him. After hearing what the other party said, her legs immediately became weak and she nodded like garlic.
Today's wealthy life, with servants calling maids, high beds and soft pillows, was something she had never enjoyed in her life. She had not enjoyed enough. How could she endure the death of a pierced intestine and a rotten belly?
After making repeated promises, Zhang Jin asked his two sons to send her in.
When he turned around and saw Zhang Fu sliding down against the wall, he was shocked and said, "Master!" He hurriedly rushed over to help him.
"master?"
Zhang Fu's legs were too weak to stand, and half of his body was leaning on Zhang Jin.
Hu Mu said with tears: "For so many years, Rou'er has never come to my dreams. I burn paper for her every year and talk to her, but she just doesn't come to see me... But it turns out that she is annoying me..."
"master……"
"She must be angry with me. I can't even protect her two children...my daughter, my son, I don't even know he exists in the world. What kind of father am I..."
Zhang Fu slid to the ground.
It felt like all the strength in my body had been drained away.
Zhang Jin couldn't hold him back for a while, so he could only squat with him.
Zhang Fu buried his head and sobbed a few times, which made Zhang Jin cry.
"Zhang Jin, did you lie to me? You lied to me, right?"
Zhang Fu looked at Zhang Jin with tears in his eyes. He couldn't accept such a thing. He was a dignified prince, but he couldn't even protect his two children and let them live in the market.
Zhang Jin also hopes that all this is false.
"Master, do you still remember the travelogue written by the young master? Why did their siblings travel all the way to Sichuan and Sichuan? Only now does the younger one understand that the two children came to see Mr. Li.
Look at their grandparents."
Zhang Fu was stunned, buried his head, and shed tears again.
"In these years, Mr. Li has never replied to the letters and things you have written and sent to Shangyong. Now that I think about it, either the family hid it, or Mr. Li has a grudge against the master and does not want to reply at all.
.”
"Did my father-in-law know about it? Why didn't he tell me? Why did he hide it from me?"
Zhang Jin also felt bad.
"If the eldest lady and young master have contact with that place, Mr. Li must know about it."
Why did Mr. Li hide this from the master? Do you think he can't trust the master so much? Or are you worried about the young lady and the young master? Zhang Jin felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't know whether it was for the young lady and the young master, or because he felt sorry for the master.
When Zhang Liang and Zhang Dong came back, the father and son helped Zhang Fu up.
"Zhuangzi's leader and dismissed servants, continue to search." Zhang Fu ordered.
"yes."
"Send someone to Shangyong again..."
"Sir, I will go in person." Zhang Liang asked.
Zhang Fu nodded: "Take more people with you."
"yes."
A few people walked out of the alley. When the cold wind blew, Zhang Fu shivered again, but his head became clearer.
Instructed Zhang Liang and Zhang Dong who were driving: "Go to Qionghua Lane." "Yes."
At Huo Zhai in Qionghua Lane, Huo Xi and her family are also watching the New Year.
Yang Fu's family, together with the Qin family's ancestors and grandson, all celebrate the New Year together at Huo's house. Yang Fu's daughter Nannan is now half a year old. It is a time for fun. She is taken turns to be hugged by everyone, and she does not cry. She looks at each one with big eyes, like
Recognizing people.
Huo Nian and An An, along with Dongsheng, Chuyi, Youqing, Huzi and Lou Qingyao's daughter Lou Ruizhu, were playing firecrackers in the courtyard.
Lou Qingyao's daughter was originally called Nannan Nannan. After Yang Fu's daughter was born and had a smaller daughter, Huo Xi helped change her name to Ruizhu.
I didn’t go back to Zhuangzi to celebrate the New Year this year, but fortunately the Huo family’s yard is not small enough for a few children to have fun.
Originally, the children did not dare to set off firecrackers because they were afraid of their daughter.
Unexpectedly, the little girl was very courageous. When she heard the sound of firecrackers outside, she tilted her head to listen. Seeing this, several children set off firecrackers in the courtyard to test her reaction. Unexpectedly, the girl danced happily.
So the courtyard was filled with firecrackers and firecrackers.
"Could this child be born with the wrong gender? Look how brave he is. His little body is still tilted outward. Could he still want to set off firecrackers with his brothers?"
Yang Fu held the little girl in his hand and probed back and forth at the threshold.
Seeing her father actually walking into the hall, the little girl's mouth dropped and she burst into tears.
Everyone in the hall burst into laughter.
Qin Huaiyu glared at Yang Fu angrily, and wanted to step forward to hug her daughter, but she didn't expect Yang's hands to be faster: "Come and hug her, aunt, we won't play with your father anymore, your father is bad. We are pretty little girls.
is not it."
He held her back on the kang, keeping her warm, and held a bunch of toys to coax her. The little girl immediately forgot to run out, and sat in front of Yang, pulling the toys in front of her.
Seeing Grandma Zou staring at the little girl with eager eyes, Ningxiu said with a smile: "Don't be greedy. You will marry your grandson next year. If you hurry up, you can also have your little great-grandson by the end of the year."
"That's good, I'm looking forward to it." Grandma Zou glanced at her grandson cheerfully, making Zou Sheng blush.
Everyone laughed again when they saw this.
Zou Sheng has decided to marry Yu Ya in April next year. The two families know each other well, and Zou’s grandfather and grandmother are very satisfied.
The grandson has now made a lot of money from the Huo family and bought a house near Qionghua Lane, but the old couple still like to come to the Huo family and have fun with everyone.
Huo Xi looked at the lively room and felt happy in her heart. She glanced at Ningxiu and saw a smile on her face, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The ship to Nanyang didn't come back this year. Huo Xi didn't know whether Zhu Zhongquan's journey was smooth.
The only people around her mother now are wet nurse and Ningxiu. If something happens to Zhu Zhongquan, Huo Xi will feel uncomfortable.
The sound of Huo's firecrackers came one after another. Zhang Fu got off the carriage and stood at the door, listening attentively, feeling complicated and difficult to explain.
