Chapter 348 Who Is the Child?
The little servant stood outside the pavilion, terrified.
The master has been playing the piano all night.
The sound of the piano was very nice, but the servant knew that this was a precursor to the son's anger.
This is a luxurious mansion, not far from Baiyi Lane, where the rich and powerful gather.
Before Zhou Jin came to Beijing, the servants bought it in advance.
Since returning from the Hou Mansion, Zhou Jin has been sitting in the pavilion and playing the piano.
The sound of the piano is ups and downs, or lingering, or the sky is full of wind and snow, or softly telling the heart, or blood flowing into rivers.
The little servant stood outside the pavilion, the more he listened, the more nervous he became. For fear that if he spied into the master's heart, he would be killed and silenced.
It wasn't until the steward arrived in a hurry that the servant secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young master, it's dewy in the middle of the night. Be careful of catching a cold. Go back to your room."
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, as if someone had cut it off with a knife.
Zhou Jin looked up at the steward.
The steward was a little flustered, but still said, "You should take care of your health anyway, Young Master."
Zhou Jin laughed, "In your eyes, what is this son like?"
"The son is naturally excellent."
"In the eyes of women?"
"It goes without saying that it must be first-class. Which of those courtesans doesn't care about your son."
Zhou Jin sneered, "But there are people who disdain me. I treat me like a mustard."
The steward was speechless and did not dare to make a sound. I was afraid that I would touch Zhou Jin's inverse scales.
Zhou Jin broke out suddenly, picked up a guqin worth thousands of dollars, and smashed it heavily on the stone table.
One, then another, the guqin was smashed to pieces. There is no hope of repair.
This peerless guqin is now abolished.
The steward is distressed, the guqin is distressed, and the money is more distressed.
My lord, it's not the piano that you smashed, but the money.
But he didn't dare to say it, he could only stand beside him with low eyebrows, like a quail.
smashed the guqin,
Zhou Jin seemed to be relieved.
He laughed, took the jug and poured it directly into his mouth.
"It's ridiculous. I think Zhou Jin, the overlord of the sea, has a day when he is trapped by women. You say it's ridiculous."
"Young master is drunk!"
Zhou Jin held a wine jug and swayed around in the pavilion.
He shook his head again and again, "You're wrong, I'm not drunk, I'm more awake now than ever. Isn't she just a woman, and I miss her very much? Yes, my son does miss her. However, she doesn't even have a straight eye. I won't give it to my son."
"That's because Mrs. Zhao doesn't know the true identity of the young master."
"What identity? A sea overlord?"
Zhou Jin kicked over the stone bench.
"Have you forgotten that this young master's identity is not visible?"
"Small damn."
Zhou Jin pointed at the steward, "You really deserve to die."
The steward knelt directly on the ground and pleaded guilty.
The little servants in the back also knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Zhou Jin snorted twice, only indifference and no emotion in his eyes.
"If she Gu Jiu is my robbery, I will admit it. But I will not accept my fate."
What if you get married, and what if you have children?
Even if the woman he likes is unscrupulous, he will grab it.
Even if she hates him, resents him, or even wants to kill him, he will do anything to hold her in his arms.
He is the king of the sea, and his woman is the queen of the sea.
What kind of grandson, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
Zhou Jin drank all the wine in the jug in one gulp.
Then he instructed the steward, "Pick a few boats out, and I will cooperate with Mrs. Zhao to form a fleet."
The steward turned pale in shock, "Master think twice."
Zhou Jin put a golden knife on the chair, "Is this son without a boat or no one? Can a few boats make this son go bankrupt?"
The steward hurriedly said: "It's not worth the gain to form a fleet with Mrs. Zhao. What should we do if her people find out our identity."
"You don't understand the truth of killing people and silence. If anyone can't control their mouths, just throw them into the sea and solve them."
The steward frowned, "But there are eunuchs among the people Mrs. Zhao sent to the south."
"A dead eunuch, I don't think he has the guts to go to sea. All right, do as I instructed. From now on, this young master will change his mind and become a businessman with his duties."
The steward looked at Zhou Jin as if he were a neuropathy.
Zhou Jin laughed, and after laughing, his face turned cold, "On land, we are businessmen. But at sea, we encounter gods and kill gods, and when we meet Buddhas, we kill Buddhas. Whoever dares to block will be killed without mercy! "
"Kill without mercy!"
The boys were all excited.
They follow Zhou Jin, and what they want is a lot of money, a lot of women, and happiness and hatred. I can't stand it, so I put the white knife in and the red knife out.
After everyone got excited, Zhou Jincai announced: "Get ready, we will leave for the south in a few days."
When he comes to the capital next time, he will not be so passive.
He will definitely make Gu Jiu look at him with his eyes, and he must let Gu Jiu remember him firmly in his heart.
...
Gu Yue followed Xie to the Xiangguo Temple to burn incense.
Xie Shi has been very worried recently.
Seeing that a year will pass, but the marriage of the two daughters has not yet settled.
Gu Shan's marriage can't be delayed any longer, and Gu Yue's marriage can't be delayed any longer.
From last year to this year, she has seen more than ten homes for Gu Shanxiang, but she has not liked one.
In Xie's heart, she plans to marry Gu Shangao. At least not worse than Gu Jiu.
Gu Yue, because it is a second marriage, the standard can be lowered a little.
But even so, no suitable one was found.
Either others despise Gu Yue, or Gu Yue despise others, or neither side despise anyone.
Xie Shi's heart was very congested.
In addition, his daughter-in-law, Hu, is very powerful. As soon as he enters the door, he will seize her power, and there are several rounds of trouble.
Only relying on her mother-in-law's identity, the Xie family had a tie with the Hu family.
Now, she can't control Hu's family at all, and she doesn't want to make Hu's rule by relying on her mother-in-law's identity.
In private, Mrs. Xie and Gu Yue complained, "They all say that the girl from the scholarly family is gentle. Look at Mrs. Hu, she looks like a shrew. She even cares about me, does she take me as a mother-in-law in her eyes? ?"
Gu Yue echoed and said a few words.
Xie Shi held his breath.
Two days ago, after eating the wedding wine of Hou's mansion, Gu Yue proposed to go to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense and pray, and Mrs Xie was moved when she heard it.
No, they arrived at Xiangguo Temple today.
Gu Shan is a little bored, her mind is not burning incense.
Hou Fu introduced two marriages for her, both of which were excellent, but both were rejected by the Xie family. When he speaks to offend people, the man's family is not interested in continuing to contact him.
Gu Shan felt resentment in her heart.
There are many good families in the capital, and there are also many unmarried aspiring young people.
If she wasted like this day by day, she had to be dragged into an old girl.
She looked at the mother and daughter who were affectionate and warm and talking in front of her, and felt even more resentment in her heart.
Gu Yue is her nemesis.
Ever since Gu Yue came back from Haixi Bo Mansion, her marriage has not been going well.
Numerous times, she had wondered whether Gu Yue had acted in private, but was unable to find any evidence.
"Why doesn't the fourth sister go to burn incense?" Hu asked Gu Shan.
"Didn't my sister-in-law also go?" Gu Shan was in a low mood.
Hu looked at the Daxiong Hall and said with a smile, "I will burn the incense when the mother-in-law finishes burning the incense."
Gu Shan asked curiously, "Is my sister-in-law begging for a child? I should worship Guanyin."
Hu Shi pursed his lips and smiled, and said generously: "I not only ask for my son, I ask for everything, for the safety of my family, and for the success of my husband's wishes."
Gu Shan nodded, "The township exam is coming soon, and I'm also looking forward to Sixth Brother being able to achieve what he wants and take the test in one attempt."
Gu Zhen is still only a scholar.
If he succeeds in this year's township examination, he will be able to participate in next year's competition.
Hu Shi smiled and said, "Fourth younger sister has a heart. Let's go burn incense too."
The aunt and sister-in-law walked into the hall together, lit incense candles, knelt in front of the Buddha, and prayed sincerely.
What Gu Shan asked for was just a wishful marriage.
Her requirements are not high, and she is very satisfied with the marriage introduced by Hou Fu. It's a pity that it was rejected by Mr. Xie.
Gu Shan made a wish, hoping that next time, she could persuade her father to come forward to see the marriage for her.
The father is definitely more reliable than the mother.
After making a wish, he kowtowed and stood up.
The vegetarian food in Xiangguo Temple is very famous.
It is rare to come here, so naturally I have to stay for a vegetarian meal.
Zhike monk placed them in the backyard to rest.
Gu Yue said, "I heard that the maple leaves in Xiangguo Temple are very beautiful. Mother, I will go to the back mountain first. I will be back before noon."
Mrs Xie nodded, "You have to be careful. Go early and return early."
Gu Yue covered her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, mother, I'm an adult, I can't lose it."
Gu Shan looked at Hu Shi.
Hu Shi smiled and said, "Fourth sister, let's also go to appreciate the maple leaves."
Xie Shi was old and unwilling to move, so she stayed in the wing to rest.
Gu Yue walked out of the courtyard and hurried forward, turning a corner and the person disappeared.
Gu Shan chased out and looked around, "Strange, the third sister was clearly here just now, why did the kung fu people disappear in a blink of an eye."
Hu laughed at her, "Fourth sister, you don't like seeing the third sister so much on weekdays. Why do you want to enjoy maple leaves with her today? Wouldn't it be better for you if she's not here?"
Gu Shan stomped her feet, "I'm not going to enjoy the maple leaves with her. I see her sneaking, so she's definitely not at peace. I'm going to keep an eye on her."
Hu shook his head and smiled, and said, "Fourth sister, why bother? It's rare to visit Xiangguo Temple, let's go to the back mountain. Don't waste your time for irrelevant people."
Gu Shan looked around, but couldn't find Gu Yue, so she had no choice but to give up. Go to Houshan to enjoy the maple leaves with Mr. Hu.
Gu Yue hid in the dark, secretly relieved, and finally got rid of Gu Shan, a follower.
Seeing that there was no one around, she entered the Moon Cave again and headed for the most remote courtyard.
The door opened, and Gu Yue rushed into Xie Shi's arms.
"Cousin, I miss you so much."
Xie Shi hugged Gu Yue tightly, "I miss you too."
The two people's loveless kiss seems to be burning life.
After a long time, the two calmed down.
Gu Yue looked at him, without any sign, tears rolled down like beads of string.
"Why are you crying?"
Xie Shi was a little flustered, and wiped Gu Yue's tears with his sleeve.
Gu Yue turned her head and ducked.
She asked him, "Is there anything I said to you last time?"
Xie Shi's face sank, "You despise me so much and don't want to be with me so much?"
Gu Yue lowered her head, bit her lip, and looked aggrieved.
She said like a mosquito, "Cousin, I may be pregnant."
"What? What did you just say?" Xie Shi frowned, as if he had hallucinated.
"I might be pregnant." Gu Yue raised the volume abruptly, and then lowered her voice again, "I might be pregnant, I dare to see a doctor, but I feel like I should be pregnant."
Xie Shi was surprised at first, and then showed an expression of ecstasy.
"Really? Really pregnant? My baby, right?"
Gu Yue nodded.
Xie Shi laughed, "I will marry you, and you will give birth to the child."
Gu Yue, however, pushed Xie Shi away with a blank face, "You marry me? What will you marry me for? When you marry me, my belly will probably not be able to cover it. After three or five months of marriage, a child is born. A three-year-old knows what's going on.
You say, will I still have face to meet people then? After the child is born, can he raise his head and be a human being? Cousin, we can't have this child. "
"You want to abort the child?" Xie Shi's face was gloomy and frosty.
Gu Yue cried silently, "Do you think I want to abort the child? I married Zhao Erlang, and I haven't conceived a child for so long. I once thought that I would not be able to have children in my life.
You know, when I learned that I might be pregnant, I was more ecstatic than you, ten times more than you.
But I can't carry a dishonest reputation, and you can't carry a dishonorable reputation either. Cousin, please complete me. After fulfilling me, I will marry me. In the future, we will have children. "
"Ridiculous! Since you decided to marry me, why did you abort our child? Let the outsider say what he wants. I will come to the door today to propose a marriage, and try to hold the wedding next month. In this way, when the child is born, , it's a big deal to tell the public that the child was born prematurely."
Gu Yue shook her head, shaking her head desperately, with a painful expression, "Cousin, you don't understand."
Xie Shi sneered, "It's not that I don't understand, but from the beginning to the end, you never thought of marrying me. You do it all at once, and you have to abort the child, all of which are excuses. You are trying to persecute me, aren't you? "
Xie Shibu stepped forward and forced Gu Yue into the corner.
"Gu Yue, do you have any heart at all? Are you still human? How can you be so cruel and even kill your own child. Say it!"
Xie Shi's eyes were bloodshot, like a trapped beast, unable to find a way out.
Gu Yue looked frightened, "Cousin, don't do this, you scared me. I, I, am not what you think. I am not as bad as you said."
"Then how are you? You say it!"
Gu Yue cried and threw herself into Xie Shi's arms again.
"Cousin, forget me, I'm a bad woman. This child, just treat him as having no relationship with us."
"No, the child must be born."
Gu Yue gritted her teeth, "There is only one way to give birth to a child."
"any solution?"
Gu Yue looked up at him and said solemnly, "Send me into the palace."
"You're crazy!" Xie Shi pushed her away.
Gu Yue pressed hard and bullied him, "Don't you keep telling me to give birth to a child? Why don't you want to give the child a noble identity? In the end, you are still selfish, you just want to possess me and let me I gave birth to your baby. But you never thought about my feelings."
Xie Shi angrily scolded, "Nonsense. I will raise my children, I don't think the mother is ugly, the dog does not think the family is poor, even if I don't have a distinguished identity, my son will not dislike the surname Xie.
You are clearly jealous of Gu Jiu, you want to climb high branches and try to crush Gu Jiu, so you deliberately want to enter the palace. Even if you enter the palace, you are still a concubine, and you are no match for Gu Jiu.
Moreover, you are pregnant, you cannot enter the palace, and it is even less possible for the child to change his face and become the son of the prince. From start to finish, you're daydreaming. "
Gu Yue sighed softly, "There's something I haven't told my cousin. Last month, when we met, I slept with the prince."
"What? You?"
Xie Shi was shocked and couldn't believe it, "How is it possible!"
"You had something to leave at that time. But you didn't know that the lord saw me and was very interested in me. I followed the flow and followed the lord. Afterwards, I specially reminded the lord not to mention me in front of you."
Xie Shi took two steps back and pointed at Gu Yue's abdomen, "Then the child in your belly?"
"It's yours!" Gu Yue said loudly, "However, it can also be the prince's. Cousin, the future of this child depends on how you choose.
Send me to the palace, the child will become a royal family, and will be rich and rich for a lifetime. The two of us joined forces, both inside and outside, to support our children to inherit the throne.
Think about it, how glorious it will be for a child to grow up and inherit the throne in the future. The Xie family can also jump over the dragon gate, and soar upward. Cousin, the opportunity is rare, do you really have the heart to give up? "
Xie Shi's face changed, his eyes turned left and right, and his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.
"Are you calculating from the beginning? From the beginning, you used me to kill Zhao Erlang, and now you use me to try to enter the palace. Gu Yue, do you have any intentions?"
Gu Yue looked at him sadly, "Cousin, you are wrong. I have never used you. From beginning to end, we are all grasshoppers on a rope. If you die, I will die too. If you live, I will die. Also live. Do you want me to die, or do you want me to live?"
