Fight the Giants

  Chapter 541 See you

   "What's the matter, come here to ask for rewards before it's time?"

  Seeing his confidant Zhang Jin, Zhang Fu knelt down in front of him with a plop, and joked with a smile.

  In previous years in the Zhang Mansion, the master and the servants would watch the year together. After the twelfth, at the beginning of the new year, the servants would pay New Year greetings to the masters, and the masters would distribute rewards for good luck.

  It's too early for the meeting, come so early to ask for a reward?

   "Master..."

  Thousands of words, Zhang Jin didn't know where to start.

   "What's the matter with you, you are hesitating. You husband and wife are not satisfied with the candidate Mrs. Tai told Zhang Liang and Zhang Dong? It's okay, just wait for me to tell Mrs. Tai."

  Zhang Jin just shook his head, and after a while, choked up and said: "Master, do you still remember Miss?"

  Zhang Fu was taken aback, nannie?

"Why don't I remember. My daughter was lively and active since she was a child, but she was restrained in the mansion. When she arrived at her grandfather's house, she and her cousins ​​climbed trees and walls, wishing to tear down her grandfather's house. "

   Zhang Fu thought of his eldest daughter, with a smile on his lips, with a hint of nostalgia.

   "Master, Missy, she is still alive."

"What?"

  Zhang Fu thought he was hallucinating.

  Looking up at the night, on New Year’s Eve, the clouds covered the moon, and the moonlight could not be seen, only the lights filled the room and the courtyard.

"What did you say?"

   Zhang Jin looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and said, "Master, the eldest lady is still alive. Moreover, Mrs. Li gave birth to a young master, and they are all still alive."

  Zhang Fu opened his mouth wide and was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

   After a while, his body shook. Asked again.

   Until the person stood stiffly, turned around, "Follow me!"

  Zhang Jin hurriedly got up and followed Zhang Fu to the study.

  After several firecracker battles, Zhang Jiefang pouted dissatisfiedly when he saw that his father stopped looking at him and left. Throwing the firecracker in his hand, he ran into the hall.

   "Why don't you play anymore?" Seeing him running, Wang asked him with a smile.

  Zhang Jiehou entered Wang's arms and murmured, "Father has escaped."

  Wang couldn't help laughing, "Are you playing with your cousins, or are you playing with your father? How old is your father, and he still plays firecrackers."

  Everyone in the room laughed. Mrs. Wu poked her probe outside, "Where did your father go?" Why didn't you stay on vigil with everyone.

   Zhang Jie didn't reply.

   Wang coaxed him a few words, "Let's go, ignore what your father is doing, play leaf cards with grandma, you will win all the wins, and grandma will lose all."

   "Grandma, I want to play too!"

   "I want to play with my grandmother too."

  When Zhang Biyao and others heard this, they gathered around to play.

   "Okay, grandma will play with you today, and the loser will go to grandma." Wang was happy to see the family's children and grandchildren around their knees, and happily asked the maid to lay out.

  In the study, Zhang Fu looked serious: "Do you know what you were talking about just now?"

"My lord, I know. The little one couldn't believe it, and I went to investigate it myself. Only then did I find out that Mrs. Li's two children are now living in the market. Master, they are the blood of your direct relatives." .”

  Zhang Fu was a little unsteady, and sat down on the chair, "You, tell the truth."

"yes…"

   Zhang Jin talked about it...

"... the little one listened to the story told by the storyteller, and combined with the fact that the Wu family sent people to find the sixteen-year-old girl and the ten-year-old boy. The little one became suspicious and secretly investigated... until the little one met the eldest lady's nanny , she is now hidden in Huo's house by the eldest lady, and she is still dumb..."

  Zhang Jin's hands were shaking.

   Dumb? Why is he suddenly dumb when he is alone?

"The little one went around to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhuangzi's original Zhuangtou and his servants...but they were all sold out, and there was no trace of them. Not even the girl and woman who used to serve Mrs. Li were found, and they couldn't find their whereabouts ..."

  It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Fu became clear about something in his mind.

  Rou'er is gone, and all the servants who served her are gone.

  At the beginning, he asked, but his mother said that she would keep some of them, so she resettled them, and some of them were released into slavery.

  He thought this was the best reward for those who had served Rou'er, but he didn't expect that they were all sold far away, are they gone?

"Fortunately, there are villagers nearby who know that Mrs. Li gave birth to the young master. It is said that Mrs. Li gave birth at that time, and the lady's maid went to the village to ask for the midwife in the middle of the night... Later, the mansion did not ask the young master for a nanny, and the lady's maid asked the village woman Borrowed milk. Master, it turns out that the young master was born, and there was no stillbirth..."

  Zhang Fu's head was buzzing.

  His son, his and Rou'er's son, was born?

   And her daughter, is she still alive?

  For a while, I don't know if the dream is an illusion. Zhang Fu stared blankly at Zhang Jin. He opened and closed his mouth, did he speak in human language?

   Could it be that he is in a dream?

Zhang Jin didn't see the change in his expression, so he said to himself: "In the fourth year of Jianwen, the Wu family secretly looked for the eldest lady and the young master, but at that time the two children hid deeply and were hidden on the boat by the fisherman, and they didn't even enter the capital. , and no whereabouts were found..."

  Zhang Fu's eyes flickered. He wanted to believe what Zhang Jin said, but he couldn't believe it.

  A heart is like floating in the air, ups and downs, fluttering, without a place to land.

  Zhang Jin looked up, seeing Zhang Fu in a daze, feeling a little distressed.

"Master, they are Mrs. Li's own flesh and blood. These two children have suffered a lot outside. They are the distinguished eldest daughter of our Duke's mansion and the eldest son of Yuan's wife. Now they can only live in Going out to make a living..."

  Zhang Jin thought of Mrs. Li who was so kind and always smiling at her servants...

  Thinking of her two biological children living in the market after she passed away, eating a meal and wearing a piece of clothing, and having to work hard to earn it, her heart ached terribly.

   Not only Zhang Fu's hands, but also his feet trembled.

  Can't find my own voice: "You, you said, there is a little woman from Songjiang..."

  He still can't believe it.

   "Yes, it was she who heard the conversation between the nanny Zhou and her son, and came to inform Madam, and the Wu family sent someone to investigate..."

   "You, go, bring her quietly."

"yes."

  Zhang Jin was about to get up, but Zhang Fu stopped him again: "No, no need. I'll go out with you."

  Zhang Fu and Zhang Jin sneaked out of the mansion through the corner gate.

  The two stood outside the outer wall of the small courtyard where Gan Yuan lived, hidden in the night.

   "Sir, someone brought it."

  Brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Dong quietly arrested Gan Yuan from the inner house.

  Tonight is New Year's Eve, no matter how ridiculous Wu Youcai is, he still wants to go home for the New Year. The people in the courtyard were all arranged by the Wu family. On such a day, the guards and maids were busy celebrating the New Year, and they were impatient to serve Gan Yuan, so they were easily taken out.

   "Master?" Seeing Zhang Fu staring blankly, Zhang Jin gently poked him.

   Zhang Fu came back to his senses, signaled to Zhang Liang and Zhang Dong, and the two brothers relieved Gan Yuan's Ya point.

   "Who are you? Why are you arresting me? My man is a high official in the imperial court. Be careful that he punishes you!"
