King of Song

Chapter 80
Jiangning Meng Mansion, Gu Qi slept very restlessly this night, dreaming continuously all night.

In the dream, it was as if he had returned to his youth, where he had no relatives, was often beaten and scolded, had no food, and lived a hard life.Until one day I met Sister Lin, gave me food, took care of me, and I was no longer bullied. That was the best time in my life, but it was a pity that it was ruthlessly burned by a fire...

In a blink of an eye, I went back to that night when the flames were soaring into the sky. I rushed into the fire scene, shouting over and over again, but unfortunately, Sister Lin was nowhere to be seen. Sister Lin, who was fainting, helped her with a big belly to leave.Fortunately, he knew the path that no one cared about, otherwise he would have died that night...

It was as if she was in the ruined temple by the Huai River again. Sister Lin was in pain all night, and finally gave birth to the baby safely.It's a boy, and his father would be very happy if he knew, but they can't go back, the bad guys are waiting for them to fall into their trap, if they go back, no one will live...

The scene changes, the small ferry boat is crossing the river, a big wave passes by, the boat shakes, sister Lin falls into the water, and disappears in a blink of an eye... Holding the child, she stands on the side of the boat with tears streaming down her face, her heart broken.The little guy seemed to know that he had lost his mother, and kept crying, heart-piercing...

His hands trembled in panic, the swaddle suddenly broke, and the child actually slipped and fell into the rushing water. Gu Qi was shocked, and his heart rose to his throat...

"Zhaoer!"

The unbearable sad past came to his heart together, Gu Qi woke up suddenly, exclaimed, only to realize that it was a nightmare.Even in winter, he was sweating profusely, which was enough to show the panic in his dream.It has been many years, these nightmarish images are still lingering, and I often wake up in the dead of night...

When Gu Qi moved, even his wife beside him was awakened. Although Liu Shi could not speak, she was a spiritual mute.Although her husband never told her about some things, she was smart enough to vaguely guess a thing or two.Liu guessed, maybe he didn't want to worry himself, maybe he thought he didn't understand...

Since he never said it, she never asked. The Liu family has always adhered to the tradition of marrying a chicken as a chicken and marrying a dog as a dog.She is just doing her own duty, taking care of her husband and raising her children, and the same is true for her nephew and her daughter...

My daughter is 15 years old, and she finally had her second child. It is now nine months old, and she will give birth in a few days.Liu Shi attaches great importance to this child, she feels that this child should be a boy...

Looking at her husband who was awakened from the nightmare, Liu stretched out his sleeve and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead!
Gu Qi was very apologetic, he had really felt sorry for his wife for so many years, and gestured: "I'm sorry, I woke you up, it's okay, go on sleeping..."

Liu Shi smiled slightly and nodded lightly, then lay back down again...

Gu Qi was worried, how could he have such a dream?In previous dreams, Zhao'er was always hugged in his arms, how could he fall into the water this time?

Could it be that the nephew is in danger?It was agreed to come back at the end of the year and celebrate the New Year together, but now that Laba has passed, there is still no news, which inevitably makes people miss.

Perhaps he shouldn't be allowed to go to Bianjing. Although this kid has become much smarter and more flexible, he has also become a little flamboyant and pushy... Miss Meng wrote to me before, saying that the business of the Jiangnan Restaurant hosted by Lin Zhao is booming. Very famous in Bianjing...

From Gu Qi's point of view, being famous is not a good thing. When he left, he was reminded and told to keep a low profile. Unfortunately, this child forgot all about it.Fortunately, Lin Zhao had told him not to mention such "dangerous" things as missions to the Liao Kingdom, and adhere to the principle of reporting good news but not bad news, otherwise Gu Qi would be so frightened that he would faint on the spot...

But don't make any trouble, even if it is so, Gu Qi is still worried, and silently prays in his heart that his nephew must come back safely.

So Gu Qi tossed and turned that night, and couldn't sleep anymore, and Liu Shi didn't even get a good rest.When the day was about to dawn, Liu Shi suddenly let out a muffled groan, with an extremely painful expression on his face. Maybe it was because of her fetal gas, or maybe the delivery period was coming, and she suddenly felt a lot of abdominal pain...

Gu Qi was shocked, and hurriedly got up and called for someone to call the midwife...

Mrs. Meng hurried over after hearing the news. After her grandson passed away, the old lady transferred all the love of her descendants to Liu's pregnancy.I have been looking forward to this child for a long time, I hope that when the time comes, I can take care of it together to make up for the lack of grandchildren...

Hearing that Mrs. Liu was due to give birth, she was so excited that she came to the delivery room in person to wait.After a long time, wow, loud baby crying sounded in the room...

"Old lady, butler Gu, it's a boy, a big fat boy!" The midwife immediately ran out to announce the good news.

Mrs. Meng's face was full of smiles immediately, she was so excited that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear!

Gu Qi was also very happy to have a child in the middle age, but at the same time, there was a lingering worry and concern in his heart. Is Zhao'er okay in Bianjing?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
Lin Zhao hasn't been doing well these few days. From outsiders' point of view, Master Lin has caused a catastrophe, and there are more than one.

A few days ago, he yelled at the court, so angry that Tang Xianggong fainted on the spot. After returning home, his back gangrene broke out.

Tang Jie's status in the eyes of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty is not so high, that is, he exists like the Big Dipper of Mount Tai.How many people are regarded as role models, as idols, and those who are revered can line up several streets...

Now that Tang Xianggong is dead, many people are very sad.Then, whoever mentioned it, Mr. Tang was pissed off by Lin Zhao, so Lin Zhao became a "murderer"...

Many people attributed the responsibility for Tang Jie's death to Lin Zhao, claiming that the "murderer" should be held accountable, and demanded an explanation.

Especially the officials of Yushitai, more than half of them wrote to the emperor, demanding that Lin Zhao be punished for the crime of roaring at the court and killing the prime minister...

The little master of the eighth rank became the most popular figure in the Song Dynasty just like that...

It is inevitable for Lin Zhao to be on the cusp these days, and Master Lin has more than one glorious deed.

It may be a bit far-fetched to scold Tang Xianggong to death, but punching His Highness King Qi is a well-documented fact.It is said that one or two young princes of the prince's family were burnt, and the situation is quite tragic...

After the news spread, Lin Zhao became famous immediately, completely famous.Daring to challenge the prime minister, and even more daring to punch the prince, the level of courage and arrogance is absolutely outrageous...

All kinds of gossip spread in Bianjing, saying that Lin Zhao and King Qi fought for the number one beauty in Bianjing, Chai Minyan.This kind of flirtatious and ambiguous jokes is very popular, so more and more different versions have been derived, which are popular in Bianjing... Of course, the mainstream is still the King Qi's bullying and frivolous words. Master Lin came forward to save the beauty. After all, this is the truth...

A hot pot party in Laba was supposed to be good, but it turned out like this, Meng Ruoying was very depressed.From her point of view, Lin Zhao really made a catastrophe this time...

Who is Zhao Hao?The younger brother of the official family, the doting youngest son of the queen mother, Lin Zhao really has the guts to punch the prince... Could it be that Chai Minyan, who dares to be so ignorant and so risky?Miss Meng felt a little sad...

But Lin Zhao, the person involved in the incident, seemed to be a normal person, unusually calm.Because he knew the fact that this matter was no longer under his control, he waited for the meaning from above, and resigned himself to fate.

"You don't want to think of a way?" Meng Ruoying couldn't bear it and asked aloud.

Lin Zhao smiled wryly and said, "Is there any way to think about it, don't worry, there will be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and nothing will happen!" Then he pondered for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, I really have something to discuss with you!"

"What's the matter?"

"You take your cousin back to Jiangning first!"

Meng Ruoying looked at Lin Zhao's dignified expression, coupled with the meaning behind this sentence, she couldn't help but worried: "What are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything! I'll be busy these days, so I'm bound to be distracted when you're here... You go back to Jiangning, so I can concentrate on dealing with things!"

Meng Ruoying also felt the seriousness of the situation, and she was very reluctant to let go. She really wanted to stay and bear with Lin Zhao, even if it was a storm, landslides and ground cracks...

Just when he was about to speak, Lin Zhao stopped him and said, "Be obedient, go back, so I can let go. Don't worry, nothing will happen!"

Isn't this empty talk?If it's okay, why bother to let them leave?
"Going back to Jiangning, the old lady and uncle will be worried, and my aunt is about to give birth, and the Chinese New Year is coming, so the old man can't be left alone!" Lin Zhao continued: "Take Yan Gu and get on the road as soon as possible..."

"how about you?"

Lin Zhao smiled lightly and said, "I promise you, I will definitely go back before the Shangyuan Festival..."

"Okay!" Meng Ruoying knew that not only would she and Gu Yuelun not be able to help if she stayed, but there would be more ties to Lin Zhao.She is a sensible, responsible, and decisive woman, no matter how reluctant she is, she can only agree with tears...

Lin Zhao then ordered Gao Da to find thirty or forty young men to escort Meng Ruoying and Gu Yuelun back to the south.Sending the two away, he lost a lot of ties, so he can devote himself wholeheartedly to the storm...
