Zhang Peien's words took all the credit on himself.

But in Zhang Yian's opinion, Gu Shun's so-called giving up the position of prefect to himself was just his verbal agreement. Without a single word of his horoscope, Zhang Peien seemed to be sure to win, and was happy and too arrogant.

"My father's clever idea is that Yi An can have the verbal agreement today, and he also depends on his father asking Yi An to make friends with Mr. Gu at that time." Seeing that his father was so happy, Zhang Yian had no choice but to flatter him.

Zhang Peien was happy for a while before calming down, he said, "Yi'an, you must work harder next time, strike while the iron is hot, and let your son-in-law pass on the position of prefect to the Zhang family."

Zhang Yian nodded and responded: "The child must study hard, and get fame in the future, so as to take on the entrusted responsibility of Young Master Gu, and help the Zhang family take the position of prefect."

"What kind of book do you study? Just let your elder brother come when you study as an official. You just need to have a good relationship with Mr. Gu, follow him every day, and try every means to bring him home and let him see your sister." Mrs. Zhang and Li suddenly interrupted.

The eldest brother of Zhang Yian in Li's mouth is Zhang Yiao, the eldest son of the Zhang family.

Zhang Yiao is the first son of his wife Li. He has been highly expected since childhood. His status in the family is above all the disciples of the Zhang family and has many fans.

However, this elder brother is not very talented. When he was a disciple of martial arts, he had not condensed his strength for a long time, which made Zhang Peien, who was determined to train his son to become a talent, very anxious.

In the end, Zhang Peien came forward in person and asked Gu Fan to come forward to teach him for a few days before he gathered his strength. He entered the martial arts path.

The shopkeeper of Shunfeng Escort Agency was able to give some advice and wanted to make a lot of money to take Huo Escort as his teacher. From this, we can also see how much Zhang Peien attaches importance to Zhang Yiao.

Seeing this, Zhang Peien not only did not stop him, but agreed: "Your mother is right. You can't do anything like being an official. You just need to serve Mr. Gu with peace of mind. It's enough for the Zhang family to have your brothers."

For Zhang Peien, if Gu Shun really handed over the position of prefect to the Zhang family, his legitimate son should be the prefect of Jiangnan City.

Zhang Peien is just a concubine's son, and he is not his turn no matter how he takes it.

"But, this is..." Zhang Peien wanted to refute a few words, but he swallowed it again when he spoke.

It is useless to say more. He was not welcomed in the family. It was natural for his father and mother to think of his elder brother.

"Next, please tell Mr. Gu indirectly, your elder brother, if you pass the exam and get the prefect, let your elder brother do the work for you.

Don’t worry, if this matter is really done, your benefits will definitely be indispensable. I will give you a piece of land outside the city at that time, so you can live with peace of mind.”

"Look at how good your father is to you, thank you dad, why don't you?" Li also echoed from the side.

Zhang Peien felt indescribable pain, but he still couldn't say helplessly: "Yi'an thanks for his father and mother, but Yi'an is bored in staying in the mansion on weekdays. Do you allow Yi'an to read some poetry and books without any trouble?"

"Anyway, you will be a little landlord in the countryside in the future. Studying is useless, so you won't have to stay in the mansion in the future. You will stay outside the Gu Mansion every day. Once you meet Mr. Gu who comes out of the mansion, you will meet him and try to bring him back to the Zhang Mansion as soon as possible. This is your task.

You don’t even look at your identity, and let our Zhang family’s son-in-law come to pick you up in person. You are so big-faced. In order not to happen like this again in the future, just stay outside." Li ordered directly.

"But, father, the child wants to study." Even though Zhang Yian chose to endure, Li's practice of directly sweeping him out still made Li Yian argue unbearably.

Zhang Peien said indifferently: "You can read books at any time. Since your brother wants to be the prefect of Jiangnan City, what's the use of studying? Your mother is right, just stay outside the Gu Mansion every day. Don't forget that it was the Zhang family that raised you and you have to obey the interests of the Zhang family.

No matter how familiar you are with the young shopkeeper of the Gu family, don’t forget that I asked you to go, you must obey my orders.”

Zhang Yian's thin and thin body clenched his fists tightly, and struggled for a moment before slowly letting go of his fists. "Yi'an understands that from tomorrow, Yian will go outside the Gu Mansion to guard."

"That's right. I'll call your elder brother back tomorrow. He has no talent in martial arts. So come back to study. Being a prefect of Jiangnan City is no easier than taking over as the shopkeeper of the escort business in the future."

Hearing his father's words, Zhang Yian's pupils suddenly shrank. Unexpectedly, his father had planned that after the Gu family and Zhang family marry each other in the future, Gu Shun alone would not be able to manage such a large industry. It just so happened that the Zhang family could take over part of the Gu family's property with the identity of the in-laws, and even put Gu Shun in vain and eat the entire Gu family.

'If my father does this, he will suffer a great loss sooner or later.'

Zhang Yian saw more and more clearly that his father was just a snobbish and selfish villain. He was thinking about the Gu family's things all day long, and wanted to use marriage to erode the Gu family.

But he didn't know that Gu Shun, who he thought he was determined to be a good person, was definitely not a good person.

...

Zhang Peien and Li asked about the meeting today in detail again, and then they felt relieved.

"Okay, you go back first. Don't forget to report to us your son-in-law's movements at any time. Also, tell him, you want to pass the position of prefect to your elder brother, and recommend your elder brother to him if you have nothing to do."

After Zhang Peien asked about the situation, he waved his hand impatiently, indicating that he could leave.

Mrs. Li hugged Zhang Guiqi next to her and said, "Remember to let our son-in-law come to see his fiancée early. Guiqi is now looking forward to seeing her husband soon."

Zhang Yian bowed to each other respectfully, "Yi'an understands, father, mother, Yi'an will leave now."

Zhang Yian turned around, and Li suddenly called him and said:

"Stop, we are still here. No matter what, she is still your sister. The young lady of the Gu family will be in order. You are going to leave like this. Haven't your aunt taught you etiquette?"

Zhang Yian hurriedly bowed and said, "It was Yian's negligence, Yian said goodbye to his younger sister."

Zhang Guiqiu didn't even raise his head, lowered his head and played with the toy in his hand, and did not take the brother in front of him seriously.

"If you don't do the same, otherwise you will be treated by family rules." Li said arrogantly.

After coming out of the main house, Zhang Yian felt as if he had been slapped twice, gritting his teeth hard, full of grievances and resentment.

He is the youngest son of the Zhang family, and Gui Qi is the youngest daughter of the Zhang family. The treatment of the two is very different, just because Gui Qi is the legitimate daughter and he is the concubine's son.

Gui Jie had a engagement with Gu Shun, and she became the wife of Gu's family in the future. She was extremely precious. The whole family treated her as a princess, obedient to her, and pleased her.

This also made Gui, who was only five years old, develop an arrogant, domineering, willful and willful personality, and he doesn't take anyone seriously.

The Zhang family's sarcastic and meanness towards themselves and Gu Shun's humble treatment towards them form a sharp contrast.

Zhang Yian cherished Gu Shun's respect and understanding of him more. He died for his confidant. Zhang Yian looked firm. He was unwilling to be an optional chess piece in his father's hands. He was cynical, bullied and insulted in the Zhang family every day.

He secretly vowed to be loyal to Gu Shun forever, that was the one who gave him hope.
