It was already afternoon when Gu Qing walked out of Zuowei Prison.

The summer sun was very dazzling. Standing outside the prison gate, Gu Qing squinted his eyes and took a long time to get used to it before he recovered.

The feeling of being in prison was very uncomfortable. Although Gu Qing was not persecuted under the protection of Li Guangbi's personal guards, the stench and dirty environment in the cell were unavoidable. Gu Qing spent three days in jail and felt that he had

He is a salted fish that is about to rot, and he is qualified to worship Xian Yu Zhongtong.

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were waiting outside the prison. When they saw Gu Qing coming out, they quickly came forward to greet them. With snot and tears in their eyes, they told the young man how much he missed him after he was imprisoned. The vigorous and full emotional expression made Gu Qing's hair stand on end.

The three days Gu Qing was in jail really frightened the two shopkeepers. They didn't expect that Gu Qing could cause trouble so much. He was sent to prison as soon as he arrived in Chang'an. The only support the two shopkeepers had in Chang'an was Gu Qing.

After entering prison, the world of the two shopkeepers collapsed.

In the past few days, the two shopkeepers have spent a lot of unnecessary money, wandering around in front of the Zuowei Mansion every day. Money can open up the joints, but currently they can only open up to the level of the officers on duty at the door, and it doesn't work to go deeper.

, the two shopkeepers refused to respond to calls every day, and were in panic all day long.

Listening to what the two of them said, Gu Qing felt a little moved in his heart. They had known each other since Qingping, and there had been intrigues with each other in the early days of their acquaintance. As time went by, their friendship seemed to have improved qualitatively, and now it has

This is a relationship where we can share weal and woe.

Gu Qing secretly speculated that if he told the two shopkeepers that he had upgraded them, they would read their own experience bars and generously exchange gold for RMB players...

Back at the inn, Gu Qing asked the waiter to prepare a large bathtub. After the waiter filled the hot water in the room, Gu Qing soaked in it and scrubbed it. He soaked for half an hour before coming out. As for the clothes he wore when he was in jail, he simply threw away all the clothes.

, to avoid bad luck.

After washing away the stench from his body, Gu Qing felt that he had lost a few pounds, and then borrowed a bronze mirror from the store clerk.

Both humans and monsters have to look in the mirror occasionally. Gu Qing knew that he did not look festive, so he rarely looked in the mirror, but people still have to face their own appearance. Gu Qing knew that apart from not being festive, his facial features were still very straight.

Standing in front of the mirror, Gu Qing stared at himself for a long time. For some reason, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became to his eyes. Even that unhappy face seemed to have become a unique charm, making people easily think of a life with philosophical depth.

Next, Gu Qing and the mirror engaged in some self-questioning and answering from the depths of their souls.

"You smile so beautifully, like a spring flower. Why do you look so pretty?"

"Don't ask vulgar questions."

"Okay, you are so good-looking, why would anyone have the heart to hurt you?"

"Ugliness distorts the mentality of bad people."

"What if someone hurts you next time?"

"Fuck him!"

After three questions and three answers, Gu Qing was very satisfied with the questions and answers. After cleaning himself up, he walked out of the room with satisfaction.

Outside the door, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were chatting with a guest. The guest was an old man wearing a green shirt. When he saw Gu Qing, he stood up and saluted hurriedly.

"I am the steward of Qing Zhang's house in Honglu Temple. My master has invited Young Master to go to the house for a talk. I am here to lead the way for Young Master."

Gu Qing smiled and nodded in agreement. He had already agreed to go to Zhang's house. Being in jail delayed him for a few days. There was no problem in going to the appointment today.

Gu Qing was a man of etiquette. When he came to visit for the first time, he had to carry some gifts. It would be rude to come empty-handed.

The high-strength wine brought from Shuzhou was a good thing, and it might save lives in critical moments. Gu Qing decided not to give it away randomly, but to spend money to buy some temporary gifts.

The housekeeper respectfully led the way. Gu Qing passed by Hao Donglai and suddenly reached out to him: "I, Gu Qing, give me the money!"

Hao Donglai was a little confused by his domineering way of asking for money. He had never experienced such a arrogant way of asking for money. Hao Donglai's hands reacted faster than his brain, so he subconsciously took out a piece of silver cake from his pocket and put it in Gu Qing's hand.

After taking the silver cake and turning around to leave, Hao Donglai became anxious.

"Hey, why? Why!"

Gu Qing ignored him, leaving him with a back full of domineering aura.

Shi Daxing looked at Hao Donglai and smiled sarcastically: "You are such a pig. The half of the porcelain kiln members that Shao Langjun gave you is a waste. Why don't you sell them all to me?"

Hao Donglai's face darkened: "Shi, you and I have agreed to fall in love with each other after we come to Chang'an. Don't break our agreement."

Shi Daxing sneered: "If I don't do anything behind your back, we already love each other."

"Are you going to a brothel tonight?" Hao Donglai asked slowly.

"How are you doing?" Shi Daxing asked alertly.

"I will grab whichever girl you choose. Let your money speak for itself."

…………

The housekeeper led Gu Qing to the Zhang family's residence in Daozhengfang.

There were guards on duty at the door, and the housekeeper led Gu Qing in. As soon as he arrived in the front hall, he heard Zhang Jiuzhang's loud laughter, mixed with a familiar female chuckle.

At a glance, Zhang Jiuzhang and Li Twelve Niang were sitting in the front hall. The two were chatting happily, as if they were talking about the past. When Gu Qing came, Li Twelve Niang immediately put away her smile and stared at Gu Qing with her almond-shaped eyes.

With a stern look in his eyes, Zhang Jiuzhang burst out laughing and said, "What a great Gu Qing. I don't know how much he is capable of, but his temper is very much like your father's. He will strike at the slightest disagreement, so happy!"

Hearing Zhang Jiuzhang talk about Gu Qing's father, Li Twelve's stern eyes suddenly softened, and even showed a little softness, and she sighed softly.

Gu Qing walked into the front hall and quickly saluted the two of them.

Zhang Jiuzhang waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's all, take a seat. In addition to the three of us, there is an old friend today. The main reason for inviting the grandnephew is to recognize the door. I know the Zhang family's residence. I have nothing to do in the future. I have already given instructions to the housekeeper. The grandnephew

As a member of the family, whenever you need anything, you can just go and get it, and the cashier has also said hello to you. If your grandnephew is short of money, you can go directly to the cashier and ask for money. The Zhang family spends everything they have and can withdraw whatever they want."

Gu Qing couldn't help but be very touched. This was a real swipe of credit cards with his face. The Zhang family's affection for him was genuine and was a reward that his parents had sacrificed their lives for.

Li Twelve Niang said coldly: "Your father is not as clueless as you. Back then, he always thought twice before making a move and never missed it. But you, Gu Qing, are purely young and impulsive, regardless of the consequences."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Young man pays attention to pleasure and grudges. Only after the age of thirty will you slowly learn to care about the consequences and weigh the pros and cons. Aunt Li, I can guarantee that my father was just as impulsive when he was my age."

Li Twelve Niang hummed: "Your father is naturally calm and calm, the same at any age. He has never done anything wrong in his life."

Gu Qing smiled and did not argue with her. In his previous life, he understood a truth. Arguing with a woman is the most stupid behavior. No matter whether you lose or win, it will not end well.

It is obvious that Gu Qing's father is Li Twelve Niang's rival. Her fascination with him has reached the level of fans' fanaticism for idols. It is best to be cautious about the topic of his father in the future.

When the atmosphere became a little awkward, a familiar rough voice came from outside the front hall.

"Uncle Zhang Shi, my foolish nephew is here! Is there any good wine in the house? If there is no good wine, my foolish nephew can just turn around and leave!"

The three people in the front hall smiled at the same time.

Zhang Jiuzhang smiled and scolded: "You are an alcoholic, you have a moral character that cannot be changed after many years! Don't worry, I have enough wine from the Zhang family, I can't drink you to death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Guangbi appeared struttingly outside the front hall. Gu Qing smiled and stepped forward to salute. Li Guangbi pointed at him: "What a boy, you have escaped this disaster. Stop and drink three hundred cups with me!"

Gu Qing bowed and smiled: "Thank you Uncle Li for running for my nephew."

Li Guangbi pointed at Zhang Jiuzhang and Li Twelve Niang, and said with a smile: "Mo Guang thanked me, they also did their best for you. On the day you were imprisoned, they went to visit Zuowei General Guo Ziyi and asked for General Guo's military order.

, your kid only escaped in prison, otherwise my personal guards alone might not be able to survive for long. Your kid got into trouble and caused us elders to run away and break our legs. Do you think we should be punished?"

Gu Qing looked at the two of them in surprise, and then saluted sincerely and said: "Thank you two elders for your hard work. I am not very talented and have made the two elders worried."

Zhang Jiuzhang smiled and said: "It's a small thing, it's nothing, but because of your incident, several of our old friends from back then are reunited. To say the least, I have to thank you."

The three of them sat down again. Gu Qing was the junior and was accompanying the last person in the front hall. The maids in the palace served the wine and food. Zhang Jiuzhang served as the host and held the cup. After the four drank a cup, a group of people dressed in bright and colorful clothes walked out from the screen at the back of the hall.

The maikos in palace costumes were lined up in the center of the front hall, and the long string and bamboo music played by musicians behind the screen sounded. The maikos moved in unison and stretched their palace sleeves to dance.

Gu Qing was stunned. This was the first time he attended a family banquet of a powerful person after coming to the Tang Dynasty. Seeing the beautiful dancers dancing in front of him, every move and every look was so exciting. Gu Qing couldn't help but sigh,

As expected, the civilization of the times is not necessarily progressing. In this era, even prostitutes and kabuki performers raised by powerful men each have extraordinary skills. However, the prostitutes more than a thousand years later can only say coldly at most.

"Brother, if you don't touch it, you still have to pay."

At this moment, Gu Qing expressed his sorrow for the disappearance of traditional culture and art for the first time.

After one dance, the dancers bowed and filed away, probably changing their clothes for the second performance.

As the host, Zhang Jiuzhang held the cup again, and after drinking with everyone, he stared at Gu Qing while stroking his beard, and said slowly: "Although my grandnephew's calamity has been solved, a greater disaster may have been laid. This time you will kill Lu."

My father and son have been offended, so I thought it would be best to turn the hostility into friendship..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Guangbi shook his head and interrupted: "Uncle Zhang Shi, it is no longer possible to turn hostility into friendship."

"Oh? Why?"

Li Guangbi sighed and said: "Before my foolish nephew came to your house just now, he learned that His Majesty had ordered Lu Chengping to be imprisoned for three days, and he also reprimanded Lu Xuan for his incompetence in educating his son, and ordered the Lu family father and son to shut up and think about their mistakes. This time I have offended you greatly.

It’s so stubborn that it can’t be resolved.”

Zhang Jiuzhang opened his eyes wide in surprise, and Gu Qing was also stunned.
