In Zhang Huaiyu's memory, "father" is a very distant and unfamiliar word. From an ignorant child to her prime years, she had very few interactions with her father.

Growing up, her father in her memory was very cold to her and never fulfilled her father's responsibilities. From the moment she was born, when her father knew that he was giving birth to a daughter, he no longer paid any attention to her.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, she and her mother, who was a concubine, depended on each other. Her mother was thin, small, and obedient. No matter how unfairly she was treated by the wife of the wife, she would swallow her anger.

When Zhang Huaiyu grew up, he listened to his mother whispering about the past events of his youth.

Her mother was not from a good background. She was just an ordinary member of the market in Chang'an City. She was able to become the concubine of the eldest son of the prime minister of the dynasty because the Zhang family hired a fortune teller from nowhere to approve her birth date. The birth date of Zhang Huaiyu's mother was the same as that of Zhang Huaiyu.

Zheng was the most suitable one, and she had the appearance of being a good man, so the Zhang family made a heavy offer to marry her as their concubine.

In fact, the fortune teller was not accurate, and his understatement ruined her mother's life. After giving birth to his daughter Zhang Huaiyu, Zhang Zheng was greatly disappointed, and he ignored his mother and daughter from then on. However, Zhang Zheng's wife did not

Fortunately, two years after Zhang Huaiyu was born, he actually gave birth to a son. The birth of his son made the situation of Zhang Huaiyu and his daughter even worse in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is like a marquis gate, with deep courtyards and cold people.

When Zhang Huaiyu was two years old, her mother finally fell ill after a long period of depression and passed away before spring, leaving her daughter, a concubine, alone in the Prime Minister's Mansion to endure Zhang Zheng's indifference and the royal wife's ridicule and abuse.

Until Gu Qing's parents were invited to the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw that Zhang Huaiyu was lonely and pitiful, so they kept her by his side and taught her martial arts every day. Zhang Huaiyu felt an unprecedented family affection from Gu Qing's parents. Those few years became Zhang Huaiyu's life.

The only happy time.

After the death of Gu Qing's parents, Zhang Huaiyu deeply blamed himself and hated the Zhang family even more. From then on, he lived in the shadow of Gu Qing's parents.

After running away from home for two years, human nature finally belongs to the family.

He was timid about being close to home, but secretly happy to see his long-lost father. However, Zhang Zheng's still indifferent attitude poured cold water on Zhang Huaiyu's head.

For two years, he didn't even ask about how he was doing outside, as if he was just a strange guest at home.

Full of disappointment and sadness, Zhang Huaiyu walked silently to the backyard.

She really shouldn't belong here, but where should she belong? After completely despairing of this family, she no longer had a home.

Walking into the moon arch in the backyard, a pretty figure sprang out like a mouse.

"Sister!" Zhang Huaijin ran to her excitedly, his eyes full of joy. If she had a tail, it would have been wagging it flying at this moment.

Zhang Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled happily. This cousin was the only relative in the entire Zhang family who could make her feel warm.

Zhang Huaijin took his sister's hand and turned it around, and his barbell-like laughter was very three-dimensional and all-encompassing.

"Sister, I haven't seen you for two years. You seem to have lost some weight, but your complexion is better than before. It seems that the mountain villages in Shuzhou really support people. I will go to stay for a few days someday. Also, you

My skin is also smoother than before. Could it be that Shiqiao Village is Penglai Wonderland? Sister, you have become like a fairy. Ah ah ah ah, I must go to Shiqiao Village to live for two years..." Zhang Huaijin chirped as soon as they met.

Non-stop.

Seeing that his cousin was still as lively and innocent as before, Zhang Huaiyu smiled fondly and reached out to help her tidy up her slightly messy hair.

"Sister, how have you been living alone in the past two years? Is it hard?"

Zhang Huaiyu almost shed tears when he said these words.

When she returned to the Zhang family, she was the only one who asked her whether she was doing well and whether it was hard work.

"Sister, it's not hard, I'm living a good life, and everyone in the village listens to me." Zhang Huaiyu said with a tearful smile.

"With Sister's skills, she must be very prestigious in Shiqiao Village, right? But if Brother Gu is here, he will be the most powerful..." Zhang Huaijin, who was so excited, talked about Gu Qing, his expression of joy suddenly froze, and he murmured

: "No, I can't be so happy. Sister is my enemy. I want to defeat her..."

Zhang Huaiyu looked at her doubtfully: "What did you say?"

Zhang Huaijin took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to look directly at her and said, "Sister, I want to defeat you!"

Zhang Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "I haven't seen you for two years. I have learned a lot, but you still can't be my opponent now. Save it."

"Oh, no, when I said I wanted to defeat you, I didn't mean to compete with you..."

"what is that?"

"Yes...I have to defeat you anyway, except for any aspect of the martial arts competition. After defeating you, Brother Gu will be mine." Zhang Huaijin said firmly, his eyes were full of courage born for love, as persistent as a man on an isolated island.

A lighthouse that never goes out.

Zhang Huaiyu's smile gradually faded, he stared at her and said, "You really like Gu Qing."

Zhang Huaijin nodded seriously: "I like him, so I want to fight with you."

Zhang Huaiyu smiled bitterly and touched her head, sighing: "Silly girl, what you want to defeat is not me, but Gu Qing's heart. If you squeeze me out of his heart and occupy my original position, that will be your victory.

"

Zhang Huaijin was stunned, then looked at the sky with a confused face, thinking about the logic of this. After thinking for a long time, he said stupidly: "It seems...that's the case. It seems that defeating you is of no use. Brother Gu still likes you."

Zhang Huaiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your Brother Gu is a smart man, and he likes to associate with smart people. Huaijin, you must also become smart."

Zhang Huaijin said seriously: "Sister, I'm very smart, don't underestimate me. I've read a lot of books in the past two years, and my writing has become more beautiful. I know that Brother Gu likes you, and I also know that you actually

I also like Brother Gu, you are a match made in heaven, but I still stick to you shamelessly, pretending not to know anything, Sister, you can no longer treat me like a child..."

"Once a woman falls in love with someone, she is no longer a child."

…………

Before I knew it, a month had passed.

During this month, Gu Qing was so idle in the Dali Temple prison that he felt that he was about to become a useless person.

But while he is in prison, there are still legends about him outside.

The generals in the Chang'an guards were each given a copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The title of the book was personally inscribed by the emperor of the day, and he ordered that every general must read it. Not only must he read it, but he must also write his thoughts after reading it. This is very cruel.

.

Most of the generals are people who are proficient in strategy. Just like Li Longji's reaction at the beginning, he was reluctant to turn the pages of the book perfunctorily at first. Later, the more he read, the more difficult he was to extricate himself. After reading it, he immediately admired Gu Qing.

When Gu Qing was granted the title of Marquis for saving his life, the courtiers in Chang'an did not dare to say anything, and they still looked down upon Gu Qing in their hearts. From the day Gu Qing was granted the title of Marquis, the courtiers silently slapped him on the head.

"Xing Jin" hat, but his personality is just a young favorite, fawning over the superior.

Until the publication of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the views of the various generals on Gu Qing gradually changed.

The young minister is famous all over the world, and he still has some good ideas in his belly. After all, the emperor is a wise man, so the decision to become a marquis must have been carefully considered, and Gu Qing's ability is indeed worthy of his title.

There is no disturbance among the people, but the generals of the army have recently gathered together and quietly discussed the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, from military strategy to politics and diplomacy. Some generals even became red in the face, and it was not uncommon to get into fights.

.

In early March, when spring was blooming, Gu Qing was finally released from prison after serving his sentence.

Han Jie and other personal guards stood waiting outside Dali Temple early in the morning. The jailers sent Gu Qing to the door with the same respect as sending a Buddha, and said goodbye to Gu Qing very politely. At the same time, they also smiled and told Gu Qing tactfully that "farewell" was just

To put it politely, if nothing happens, it is best for everyone to live happily and never meet each other.

Gu Qing's happy mood after being released suddenly became a little more gloomy. Do you think I am happy to stay in this miserable place like yours? If I were not really afraid of extending my sentence, these jailers in front of me would have been beaten violently. I would still be standing outside the Dali Temple.

There are a hundred personal guards.

When I walked out of the prison, my eyes suddenly turned black and stung.

After not seeing the sun for a long time, his eyes couldn't adapt. Gu Qing rubbed his eyes for a long time before he managed to recover.

Han Jie and a hundred personal guards stood outside the Dali Temple. Their armors were neatly arranged in four teams. Han Jie stood in front wearing armor and holding his sword. Seeing Gu Qing come out, Han Jie and the personal guards seemed to have discussed the lines and all came together.

They all saluted and said in unison: "Welcome the Marquis. Your Marquis has served the country to eradicate traitors and is unparalleled in his loyalty and righteousness!"

Obviously they were welcoming prisoners who had been released from prison, but the guards acted like they were welcoming the general's triumphant return.

A hundred people shouted in unison, frightening the outsiders of Dali Temple to stop and watch curiously. A flock of birds sprang up from the locust tree beside the open space.

Gu Qing was also frightened, and his steps staggered uncontrollably.

Han Jie hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Gu Qing looked at the people watching in the distance and said with an ugly face: "Who did this?"

Han Jie looked proud and puffed out his chest and said: "The general came up with it. Mr. Hou went to jail for your brothers and slandered your honor. The general will always make some noise to teach the world that Mr. Hou is not a treacherous person."

He is a good official who eliminates traitors for the country."

Gu Qing sighed.

This guy probably hasn't seen the movie. The gangsters in the previous life were so prosperous when they were released from prison. They are very similar to the treatment of Gu Qing today, but those big guys who are released from prison usually don't end well. Let's continue the plot.

It will probably hang up in half an hour.

"Don't do such fancy things in the future. I still want to live another five hundred years." Gu Qing said with a cold face.

Han Jie scratched his head in confusion.

"By the way, Mr. Marquis, there is a guest from afar waiting for you. He is on the carriage behind..." Han Jie reminded, with a hint of ambiguity in his expression: "...it's a female guest.

."

"Who?" Gu Qing looked around and saw a carriage in the open space outside Dali Temple suddenly opened its curtain, revealing a beautiful, delicate and slightly cold face.

The two looked at each other, like two magnets attracted to each other, tender and entangled, and could no longer be separated.

After a long time, Gu Qing suddenly laughed, patted Han Jie on the shoulder and said: "She is not a guest, she is my future wife, anyway... she will be her in this life!"

Han Jie and the guards suddenly realized, and then they felt blessed. They bowed to Zhang Huaiyu in the carriage, clasped their fists, and shouted in unison: "Greetings, Mrs. Marquis!"

Zhang Huaiyu was stunned. Before she could be shy, another small head squeezed her away. Zhang Huaijin forced himself out of the camera, stuck his head out of the car window, pointed at Han Jie and said angrily: "Mrs. Marquis, don't shout! Still!"
Chapter completed!
