The maid who had been supporting Zhao Yun quietly took a step back, lowering her head and not daring to make a sound.
Naturally, the maid knew Gongsun Yan, a distinguished guest whose mistress had repeatedly warned him to treat him respectfully.
She didn't know what the relationship between Captain Zhao and Lady Gongsun was, but that didn't stop her from immediately noticing something strange about their demeanor.
If there is really something between the two that arouses Lady Gongsun's jealousy, all slaves and maids are cheap talkers, so if they want to find an excuse to kill her, it is just a matter of words.
Although she is a young maid, she also has her own survival wisdom. The thin maid lowered her head and took a step away from Zhao Yun without leaving a trace. Her sense of presence suddenly decreased.
Gongsun Yan looked at Zhao Yun who was a few steps away but was drunk, but still recognized her at a glance and saluted her.
It's really hard for him to recognize people when he's so drunk.
What kind of bad wine table culture is this? A person who was as tall as a poplar tree at noon is now drunk like this.
Seeing the maid step away, he barely stood upright and his body tilted. Gongsun Yan subconsciously reached out to help him.
Xia Houlan, who had been following Gongsun Yan, passed her and supported Zhao Yun first.
"Zilong never drinks, and he rarely gets so drunk." Xia Houlan stood between the maid and Zhao Yun, supported Zhao Yun, and explained to Gongsun Yan: "Mrs. Gongsun, wait a moment, I will take Zilong to sober up."
After saying that, he helped Zhao Yun, who was dazed, and walked to the backyard.
He didn't know how he was going to sober up Zhao Yun. He was probably just pouring cold water on him. Gongsun Yan was worried and warned him afterwards: "He should not catch the cold after drinking. Don't let him catch a cold."
Xia Houlan paused, thinking how could he wake him up if he wasn't cold? Is the young lady behind him really concerned or pretending to be concerned?
The maid who followed Zhao Yun saw Xia Houlan leaving, so she also apologized and was about to leave, but was stopped by Gongsun Yan.
The maid paused in her steps, lowered her head, and her heartbeat gradually accelerated.
However, unlike what she had guessed, Gongsun Yan had no intention of embarrassing her at all.
Gongsun Yan was just coming back from Qian's place when he bumped into a drunk cat.
Although she was thinking about whether this banquet culture should be changed in the future, the maid was just fulfilling her duty and giving her support. She had absolutely no reason to blame.
I just stopped her so that I could take Zhao Yun back to the banquet hall for a while.
Zhang and Wang Wu were so injured that they would inevitably be neglected in the army. Gongsun Yan came here in the hope that Qian could allocate a row of houses at the back door of Xiaowei Mansion to temporarily accommodate a few seriously injured soldiers.
At this time, Qian had already heard about the great victory in Yangqiuli, and knew that even if Gongsun Zan was defeated, the Gongsun siblings would not be easy to mess with. The slightest trace of contempt disappeared from his heart, and he became more polite on his face. Naturally, he did not refuse Gongsun Yan's request.
Immediately he ordered several servants to clean up the house and prepare charcoal basins and bedding.
Gongsun Yan kept his care for Gongsunda and Qian in his heart and looked for opportunities to repay them in the future.
While Gongsun Yan was waiting for Zhao Yun to sober up, Tian Kai glanced at Gongsun Da, who was drunk and with red eyes, in the hall of the captain's mansion, and slowly took a chopstick of freshly roasted and cut lamb leg, which seemed to be
He said casually: "Ada, I wonder if the head of the family is still in good health recently?"
Tian Kai asked, but his eyes glanced at Zuo Ping, who was sitting first on the left side of Gongsunda.
Zuo Pingben smiled and watched his grandson Zuo Yuan and the general of the school captain's mansion playing hut in the corridor. When he heard Tian Kai's question, his hand holding the wine glass paused for a moment.
He glanced at his grandson who was having a good time, thought for a moment, and said before Gongsunda answered: "The head of the family was very sad when he heard that Bogui passed away and his hair was white."
Very sad? Gongsun Jing's face flashed in Tian Kai's mind. Was he so sad that he had to skip half a bowl of rice?
Tian Kai was not satisfied with this answer. He and Zhao Yun were willing to give the Zuo family the credit and share of the captured profits, not because it was meaningless.
"Hey, if my general learns about this, he will definitely not want to do this. I would like to ask Lieutenant Zuo to advise our master to take care of himself and not to be too sad."
"After my general passed away, besides my father, the person I am most worried about is my two children." Tian Kai changed his voice and directly turned the topic to the Gongsun siblings, "My poor wife, the young master lost his father when he was young, and since then...
…”
Tian Kai sighed deeply as he spoke.
"Brother Tian, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I'll protect Ayan and Acheng." Zuo Ping didn't say anything, but Gongsunda was already patting his chest and said.
Tian Kai didn't answer, only showing some sadness on his face. Gongsun Zan is dead now. Xiangguan Pass is an important pass. The caravan must pass through here when going south or north. It's a fat job. Gongsun Da still doesn't know how to fulfill the post of captain.
how long.
There was a thoughtful look on the left plane. He knew what Tian Kai actually wanted to ask, so he turned around and looked.
The surrounding staff and generals seemed to be aware of the situation and left the table one after another to throw pots in the corridor. The attendants in the hall got up and retreated without knowing when.
Zuo Ping lowered his voice and said: "My younger brother died. Ziyuan went to personally check the accumulated treasury of the manor outside Lingzhi City, chose a cemetery, held a funeral for Bogui's family, and arranged the funeral arrangements. When he heard that the young master was still alive, he stopped first.
Take action."
Is there any manor outside Lingzhi City that Gongsun Jing needs to personally check out the accumulated treasury?
Isn’t it the family property that Gongsun Zan once purchased?
Although it is normal practice to eat out households, and those households with fertile land and shade are indeed greedy, but if they are so anxious to stare at them, isn't it a bit ugly to eat them?
Tian Kai's eyes seemed to embarrass Zuo Ping. He was a senior general of the Gongsun family and had always put the glory and face of the Gongsun family above his own wealth and life.
It is said that Gongsun Zan strangled his wife and children before he was defeated and burned himself. It was as if his family was extinct and there was nothing wrong with accepting the family property left behind.
But what Gongsun Jing did was really out of proportion. How could the Gongsun family be so poor that they needed the wealth of the deceased to hold a funeral?
I could have calmly held the funeral and dealt with it later, but I was so anxious and looked ugly.
Zuo Ping sighed inwardly, "I heard that Mrs. Xuan, knowing that her brother was dead, often went hunting and relaxing in Guzhu Manor."
Tian Kai raised his eyebrows and looked at each other with Gongsunda.
Gongsun Daxin thought that Tian Kai might not know who Lady Xuan was, so he explained: "Mrs. Xuan is the youngest daughter of the head of the family. She is three years older than Ayan. The head of the family has always been very fond of her."
After calculating his age in his mind, Tian Kai secretly applauded the Gongsun family master's body.
Nowadays, it is almost rare that Gongsun Jing is in his sixtieth year. When he gave birth to this Lady Xuan, he was already in his prime, so he deserves to be called old and strong.
Tian Kai didn't understand what Zuo Ping meant by raising this matter at this moment. Lady Xuan was probably interested in that manor.
That lady should be extremely favored by the head of the family. If she gave up a manor to make Lady Xuan happy, the Gongsun siblings would be able to receive more care from the head of the family.
But if others don't know, how can Tian Kai not know what's going on in Lone Bamboo Manor?
