Zhang Jiuzhang is Zhang Jiuling's younger brother. After so many years, the Zhang family still remembers the life-saving grace of Gu Qing's parents, which shows that the Zhang family are kind people.

In his previous life, he had seen too many ungrateful people. Now when he saw someone taking the initiative to thank him for saving his life, Gu Qing didn't know how to react for a moment.

"This, uh, this uncle..." Gu Qing organized the words in his mind.

Zhang Jiuzhang laughed, stroking his beard and said: "Gu Qing, your parents got along very well with my Zhang family back then. The two families are family friends. Since they are family friends, the seniority must be clarified first and there must be no confusion. Your parents called my brother Jiuling.

Uncle, if you call me uncle, the family hierarchy will be a bit confused."

Gu Qing sighed in disappointment, thinking he could get through it.

After all, he is Zhang Huaiyu's uncle. If he calls him uncle, Gu Qing will be Zhang Huaiyu's elder in the future. Next time they meet, he will press her head and force her to give him a junior salute. How cool it will be.

Since he was corrected, Gu Qing had to greet him again: "Uh, uncle?"

Zhang Jiuzhang smiled and said: "Uncle, too. Your parents called me second uncle back then, and my brother Zhang Jiugao third uncle. To be precise, you should call me second uncle."

Gu Qingqiang smiled, feeling a strong sense of the impending arrival of poor relatives in remote mountainous areas who are out of reach and coming to the city to recognize their relatives...

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing temporarily became waiters and carefully served snacks and drinks. Zhang Jiuzhang smiled politely at them.

This smile immediately gave the two shopkeepers a bright sunshine. The two shopkeepers quickly exchanged glances, and then found a remote corner of the room to sit down with peace of mind. They looked like "I am Gu Qing's most loyal confidant."

The princess in the box who was responsible for ordering songs and pouring drinks also refused to leave.

Zhang Jiuzhang was well-educated enough and did not look down on the businessman at all. He just pulled Gu Qing to sit next to him, stroking his green beard and sighed: "Ten years have passed, and I still often dream about that fierce battle that night. Your Majesty's Hall."

He is a true hero, I am still fascinated by the grace of your father, and I am fortunate to be able to meet their descendants in my lifetime, which can be considered as my wish."

Patting Gu Qing's shoulder intimately, Zhang Jiuzhang smiled and said: "I read Huaiyu's letter. The letter mentioned your situation. Are you already eighteen years old this year?"

Gu Qing said respectfully: "Yes."

"Is there a wedding?"

"Not married yet."

Zhang Jiuzhang sighed: "I must have lived in poverty in the past, and there were no parents in the family to make decisions. There was no way to get married."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "I'm still young and don't plan to get married for the time being."

Zhang Jiuzhang was stunned: "Eighteen years old... still young?"

Gu Qing also looked back at him with an innocent look on his face.

Isn’t eighteen too young? In previous lives, many people got married in their thirties. At eighteen, I was still a baby.

"It's time to get married. You're not young, so don't delay. You are the only one who holds the Gu family's incense. If you have a filial piety, you should get married as soon as possible to continue the incense." Zhang Jiuzhang said seriously.

Before Gu Qing could respond, Zhang Jiuzhang said slowly: "I thought it would be appropriate for Zhang Huaiyu to meet you, and the boy is an unmarried girl and the girl is unmarried. However, Zhang Huaiyu is a concubine. It would be disrespectful to our Zhang family to marry a concubine to our savior."

, I have no daughters, but my third brother Zhang Jiugao does have a daughter who is the daughter of his wife, but she has been spoiled since childhood and is a bit wild. I blame my Zhang family’s goddaughter for being incompetent, I am ashamed! If my grandnephew is interested, Zhang Jiugao’s daughter can..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Qing hurriedly interrupted: "No, no, uncle, second uncle, you're welcome..."

Zhang Jiuzhang paused. I'm talking to you about getting married seriously. Why are you translating for me? What do you mean by "being polite"?

Gu Qing changed his words again: "Second uncle, don't worry about it. I can take care of my junior's marriage by myself."

Zhang Jiuzhang raised his eyebrows: "Oh? You have a sweetheart? Which girl is she from? Tell me, my Zhang family will make the decision for you. Your parents are gone, and my Zhang family will be your elders. I will sit in the high hall on the day you get married.

.”

Gu Qing pursed his lips.

I feel that this old man is not very good at chatting, and he chatted to death.

Seeing Gu Qing's embarrassed look, Zhang Jiuzhang sighed, but changed the subject: "I heard that you were promoted to an official for your contribution to the Nanzhao Rebellion, and now you are serving in Zuowei?"

"yes."

Zhang Jiuzhang said with a smile: "You don't rely on the favor of your parents, you rely entirely on your own ability to become an official. The Gu family is indeed extraordinary. Work hard at the left guard first. You are still too young. I may be criticized when you become a senior official. In two years

If there is a chance, I will look for an opportunity to do something for you. If there is anything that does not go well with you in Zuowei, or if you have any questions about the officialdom, you can just come to me. I live in Daozhengfang. I will go there tomorrow when I am free.

Please recognize the door of my house."

Zhang Jiuzhang paused as he spoke, looked at the surroundings of the house, frowned and said: "This place is not suitable for long-term living. I still have an unoccupied old house in Pingkangfang. It is a bit old, so I will repair it.

I’ll give that house to you.”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Second Uncle, for your kindness. I appreciate it. But after meeting with Your Majesty today, I have been favored by His Majesty and have been given a house for me. In a few days, officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs will come to hand over the matter to me."

Zhang Jiuzhang looked at him quite unexpectedly, and then he saw Gu Qing's silver bag hanging on his waist. He couldn't help but become more surprised. Then his expression returned to normal, he stroked his beard and said slowly: "Let's see what Huaiyu's letter said about you.

I no longer dare to look down on you, but I still look down on you. My good boy, you have had no father or mother since you were a child, and your skills must have been forced out of you. You have suffered a lot these years."

After chatting some more, Zhang Jiuzhang stood up and left.

Before leaving, he made an agreement with Gu Qing that he would send someone to invite Gu Qing to visit Zhang Mansion tomorrow. Gu Qing agreed with a smile.

After Zhang Jiuzhang left, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing rushed to Gu Qing with bright eyes and said, "I never thought that Young Master Shao Lang would have such connections in Chang'an. You hide it so well, Young Master!"

Gu Qing smiled bitterly. His connections were all left by his parents whom he had never met. He didn't know how many connections his parents had left in Chang'an City. When chatting just now, he heard Zhang Jiuzhang say that his parents had a wide range of contacts when they were in Chang'an. They are heroes.

He likes to make friends, and his cheerful and cheerful temperament makes it easy to make friends. In addition, he has martial arts skills and a sense of justice. If you add up these qualities, you will probably have many friends.

The two shopkeepers were excitedly sketching out a blueprint for their future domination in Chang'an City, when another rough voice came from outside.

"Do the children of the Gu family brother and sister-in-law live here?"

Gu Qing and the two shopkeepers in the room were stunned. Before they could recover, the rough voice simply let go and roared: "Is there anyone named Gu here?"

The two shopkeepers looked at Gu Qing in surprise, and Gu Qing smiled bitterly: "Maybe they are here to seek revenge..."

I'm a little confused, does the hero only care about making friends? Doesn't he have any enemies?

Hao Donglai hurriedly threw out a sentence: "A person seeking revenge will call your father-in-law 'brother and sister-in-law of the Gu family'? Young Master, do you have any misunderstanding about the word enemy?"

With that said, Hao Donglai opened the door and shouted outside: "There is someone named Gu, yes!"

There was a sound of footsteps, and then Gu Qing saw a burly figure blocking the door. Hao Donglai was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and Gu Qing had to stand up and step forward to meet him.

The man at the door was probably in his forties, with a messy beard on his face, wearing a simple short shirt, and his sharp eyes were like a knife piercing people's hearts.

Gu Qing stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, if you would like to find someone named Gu, I will give you the surname Gu. I wonder if this is the person you are looking for."

The person who came looked at him and said, "Yes, it's you. Come and have a drink with me in the front hall!"

After saying that, he picked up Gu Qing and walked out.

Gu Qing was shocked: "Hey! Have you figured it out? What if you admit the wrong person?"

"You can't be wrong. You are seventeen or eighteen years old, with an unhappy look on your face. Who else could it be but you?"

Gu Qing:???

This unhappy face actually became a label...

The inexplicable discomfort in my heart is a big deal...

"Wait, wait! I haven't asked you yet who you are and why you know me..." Gu Qing was dragged and staggered.

The man didn't even look back and said: "Let's drink first and then talk about things. I just got off work and haven't had a drop of wine all day, but I'm so hungry!"

Gu Qing stopped struggling. He was too strong and couldn't beat him.

From the few words spoken during the meeting, Gu Qing didn't get much information, but he was certain of one thing. The guy who forcibly dragged him must be a military general in Chang'an City. Only military generals have such an unreasonable bastard temperament.

The front hall of the inn is the dining hall, where travelers can eat and drink. It was almost evening, and there were some diners sitting in the restaurant.

The man dragged Gu Qing to sit at an empty table, then suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "The shopkeeper serves wine! Serves good wine! Hurry!"

This kind of person who is not easy to mess with at first sight often takes advantage of him, so the shopkeeper tremblingly brought two jars of wine to him.

The man patted off the mud seal, picked up the wine jar, and took a sip. Finally, he wiped his mouth hard, took a long breath, and showed a satisfied smile.

"Have fun! This is what we call living!"

Gu Qing was finally able to ask questions at this time. He cupped his hands and said politely: "I haven't asked for advice yet..."

The man put down the wine jar and said, "My name is Li Guangbi, General Zuo Lang of Zuo Wei's family, and I can be regarded as your immediate superior."

Gu Qing's eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, Gu Qing, pays homage to General Zuo Lang."

Li Guangbi, a famous general in the Mid-Tang Dynasty, was as famous as Guo Ziyi and was also called "Li Guo". He was the main general who quelled the Anshi Rebellion. In Gu Qing's limited historical knowledge reserve, this man was regarded as a thunderbolt.

Li Guangbi waved his hand and said: "Sit down, I'm looking for you today not because of you, but because of your parents. As a courtesy, you should call me uncle. Your father and I are close friends, so it's not a bad idea to call me uncle."

Gu Qing was slightly excited. His parents actually had such a close relationship with the famous generals of the Zhongtang Dynasty. He felt more and more that his parents were a pair of legendary figures.

"Junior Gu Qing, pay your respects to Uncle Li." Gu Qing greeted him again.

After sitting down, Gu Qing asked curiously: "How did you meet my parents?"

Li Guangbi took a sip of wine and showed a look of fascination: "Back then, when I was young and vigorous, I took advantage of the fact that I was from a famous and wealthy family. I was a little, uh, a little rampant in Chang'an City. I happened to bump into your father. Your father didn't like it and took action.

Beat me to pieces, tsk!"
