Zu Qing sat upright in the courtyard of Zhang's guest house. This mansion was originally divided from the palace of the Lord Shihu, the master of Jie, so it was built naturally. The Zhang family came to arrange wealth and auspicious decorations, which looked even more prosperous. In this way, people even forget that the power of Jie State was about to fall, and how could there be a complete egg when the nest was destroyed?

He took off his military robe and put on auspicious clothes. Thinking that the major events in his life were accomplished under this scene, Zu Qing's handsome face was filled with bitterness and self-mockery. He didn't even dare to look up at the sky. The twinkling cold stars seemed to be staring at him quietly, not knowing whether they were expressing anger or self-blame.

Later, the Zhang family's children followed Zhang Chai's instructions and came to talk about drinking and friendship with Zu Qing, as if they wanted to compensate for the lack of hasty gifts with a more enthusiastic attitude. When everyone left, the lights were gone, and Zu Qing, who was already drunk, walked to the residence under the help of others.

Hearing the sound of footsteps as he approached, the girl Zhang sitting in the room couldn't help but gush out, making her pretty face as beautiful as peaches and plums.

Finally, the door of the room was opened, and the figure that was imprinted in Fang's heart jumped into her eyes again after seeing it. A great stream of happiness immediately submerged her like a dam. The mist in her eyes was misty, and her vision soon became blurred.

Zu Qing walked into the room and when all the serving people left, the remaining few Zhang maids pushed into the corner of the house, and the drunkenness on his face slowly faded away.

He grew up in the prison court where tigers and wolves were rampant since childhood. Any slackness would be enough to make him doomed. Zu Qing naturally did not dare to drink freely. What's more, the current ban on alcohol in the middle school is strict, and Zhang is shaky and in a dangerous situation. Even in such a happy event, he dared to use fruit wine to drink and treat guests.

Zu Qing naturally had no interest in the wife Zhang who took the initiative to get over. If he hadn't been thirsty at the moment, he wouldn't even want to enter the inner room. After entering the room, he grabbed the utensils and accidentally saw the Zhang lady whom he chose on the other side, looking at him in tears, and felt guilty for no reason.

A couple of newcomers, two thoughts, and after a while, Zu Qing spoke, "Yes, I'm sorry, my wife..."

This slight apology sounded like a spring thunder in the ears of Zhang's wife. She hurriedly turned around and wiped away the tears in her eyes. She didn't know that Zu Qing's apology had other reasons, but she only said that the other party was guilty of not being able to treat her with etiquette. Although there were many family members in the cabinet before, she had taught her how to respect her husband's master, she had already left all her eyes behind in her shyness and fear.

Wiping away the tears, the young lady quickly turned around and gave the butterfly juice in a hurry. Qiqi Ai Ai said, "I am my name, Adong, born in winter, Dong... I am not sad, please do not blame me! My mother always says that I am not blessed and have a strong relationship, and I am afraid that I will be tired of my husband... But, if my husband doesn't bother me, I will be willing to accept it with all my life!"

Zu Qing was raised in Shihu's residence when he was young. When he was older, he was just a group of loyal family members. He was full of revenge and was punished for his crimes. He also had no beautiful experience.

The young lady Zhang's wife was at a loss and incoherent nervous look made him feel embarrassed. She quickly raised her hand to take the trembling butterfly juice that was about to fall out, and then laughed at herself: "If you have a shallow blessing and a weak fate, and your fate is eccentric, I really don't believe that I can be inferior to my wife. If you are all miserable, you might as well comfort me. My wife doesn't need much politeness. If you really have to be tired of each other next year, please be less resentful."

When Zhang heard this, she was shy and shocked again. After a moment, she raised her head and said seriously: "When you enter this door, you will have no hatred for the rest of your life! The husband's green eyes look at me, which is a great blessing for my life..."

Zu Qing also regained his calmness at this moment. When he heard the lady expressing her enthusiasm, he just smiled and nodded, but he felt a little dissatisfied. It was true that he felt a little guilty about the Zhang lady, but he did not really treat Zhang as his father-in-law because of this. His heart was as firm as iron, and it was definitely not easy for a soft and beautiful person to wear it!

"After a turmoil, it's late at night. Please rest early, don't wait for me."

Zu Qing drank the butterfly in the cup and then got up and walked into the outdoor room. He drove several maids from the room to the inner room to accompany the lady. He sat on the small couch in the outdoor room, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, but he was wondering what intention could be achieved through this established fact.

The Zhang lady was still surrounded by great happiness and did not realize the cold treatment of her husband to treat him. She was the lady in the boudoir and the bride of another family. She could not change her mind for a while. Although a maid came in and suggested how to serve her husband, she still blushed in shyness and hesitated for a long time and did not dare to do it. Before she knew it, she fell asleep at her desk.

In the next few days, Zu Qing stayed in his family as Zhang's new son-in-law. Jie Lord Shi Hu probably was happy with this and did not assign new tasks to Zu Qing.

As for Zhang Chai, he has always been preparing a family banquet and attaching great importance to Zu Qing, the son-in-law. However, in private, his mood is getting more and more anxious. Shi Hu does not intend to let Zhang Chai go so easily. In addition to Zu Qing's previous message, he has also sent envoys to continue asking Zhang Chai in the name of Ru He these days.

The reason why Zhang Chai is still dragging on is that he hopes that something will happen again to disperse Shihu's energy and make him relax his suppression, but he has always been disappointed.

As the end of the year approaches, the weather becomes even colder and several heavy snowstorms make the snow and colder deeper. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for the southern country to have any large-scale military operations and cannot put more pressure on the Jie Kingdom.

As for the country, the storm of the assassination of the Lord's assassination has not yet completely passed, and the purge and killing that have collapsed the entire city is still ongoing. Although the news of the fall of Xiangguo cannot be concealed, it is only spreading in a small range. Under such high pressure, no one dares to be touching with this.

The army from Youzhou was temporarily stationed in Fuliu City northwest of Xindu due to heavy snow. Zhang Ju was also cunning, and it was obvious that he would never easily get involved before the storm in the country had completely subsided.

And the New Year's Essay, which should have been the highly anticipated New Year's Essay, could only be delayed indefinitely under such circumstances. The Lord Shi Hu was still staying in the Longteng Camp, looking murderous. Although a group of ministers took great risks to persuade the Lord Shang Guiyuan, they did not receive a response. It is said that the Lord was infected with wind and cold and was inconvenient to travel. However, the assassination was ahead, so naturally no one would dare to believe this kind of rumor that could not be verified.

No major changes inside and outside happened, which meant that the pressure applied by Shi Hu on Zhang Chai would only get heavier and heavier. Finally, Zhang Chai could not bear this great pressure, so he took the initiative to take a step back and recommended his cousin Zhang Li to Bohai as an envoy to recall King Zhang Wu.

Zhang Chai also knew very well that Zhang Li's fate was uncertain, and it was even possible that he was directly killed by King Zhang Wu, who was quite similar to the character. But he really had no choice. If he didn't lose his car and protect his coach at this moment, he was afraid that the master would not let their Zhang family spend the New Year safely.

Even if time delays beyond the Lord's patience, then the Lord who is still in Longteng Camp may personally lead the six inner army to siege and kill the Zhang clan members in Xindu!

Zhang Li is Zhang Chai’s helper and is also the representative of the Zhang family’s highest military responsibilities in Xindu. If such a heavyweight figure is not thrown out, it will be difficult for the Lord to let their family go.

After Zhang Chai made a statement here, Shi Hu finally reacted, but this reaction fell on the Zhang family's new son-in-law Zu Qing. Zu Qing was originally a general of the central army and was also appointed as the Marquis of Qiu County. At the same time, he was granted the position of prefect of Fan Yang, and became the most popular new noble in the country for a time.

At the same time, in order to show his favor to Zu Qing, Shi Hu ordered Zu Qing to be rewarded with a grand mansion, which was even more than Zhang Chai's house. In addition, all the people from Fanyangqiu County, who were originally from outside the city were classified as Zu Qing's households.

Zu Qing chose to move out of Zhang Chai’s mansion before New Year’s Eve and bring his newlywed wife to the new mansion rewarded by Shi Hu.

Zhang's family was busy in the house. Zhang Chai led his children in the front yard to hold a banquet to see off the new son-in-law's son, and at the same time, the guests were celebrated, as if they were proud and vigorously praised Zu Qing.

The inner courtyard is also a busy scene. Now everyone in the Zhang family's inner house envies the lady Adong and the wife who has just been properly promoted. Although this mother and daughter were not originally neglected and treated harshly in the inner house, it is also almost transparent. No one expected that the relationship between mother and daughter would change so much in just a few days.

The newly promoted Mrs. Zhang also felt like a erratic feeling during this period. However, the woman was not completely obsessed with her complacentness. She still remembered where this wealth came from, got rid of the enthusiastic flattery of her family, and seized the time to pull her girl to carefully remind her husband to respect her husband.

Zu Qing's new wife, the lady Asdong, has been in a mood recently, almost beyond her age. First, she was a huge surprise and could match her good man, but then even if she was slow, she could feel her husband's indifference and alienation towards her under her respectful appearance. A few days ago, a family sister ridiculed her for being out of the woods by being beaten, and she was not valued by her father, and it was difficult for her husband's family to truly value her.

However, as the Lord rewarded her husband with great rewards, the sarcasm quickly disappeared, and jealousy and awe were revealed without any concealment. There were even sisters who rushed into their husband's house, either bluntly or hinted, hoping to get married with them, even if they were just a concubine with no name.

Adong's wife knew that they seemed to be from the Zhang family, but in fact, as a group of illegitimate women, they would not be loved and valued by the clan and father at all. Most of them would only be regarded as a favor and good family, and gifts from powerful men were given at will. Zhang family was not a famous family, so it is natural to know what kind of goods they were willing to make friends with their family.

Although Adong's wife herself is inevitably destined to be this fate, her husband's family is first of all the Fanyang Zu family in Hebei. Her husband Zuqing is now a new nobleman with the most powerful reputation in the country. In addition, Zuqing himself knows etiquette and righteousness, has a handsome appearance, and is a rare good match in the world. Her sisters can't help but cannot contain their envy and jealousy, so it is natural that they are taken for granted.

Not to mention the noisy in Zhang's inner house, the conversation between Zhang Chai and Zu Qing, the father-in-law and son-in-law, gradually deepened and subtle in the banquet in the front courtyard.
