Comprehensive film and television: The Queen of Rolls Opens the Roll Again

Perhaps it was because Zhang Xueming was doing needlework in front of the two brothers, and the atmosphere felt like a family chat, so it became less serious.

Gong Shangjiao took the red sachet that contained the materials without hesitation, poured out the jade pieces, carved gold and silver pieces, and beads inside onto a plate, picked out three sets for himself and three sets for Gong Yuanzheng.

He put the selected accessories in two small bowls and placed them in front of Zhang Xueming. He also took the opportunity to make a request: "Zhao Zhao, be quick and make a few more. My brother Yuan Zheng and I have been wearing the same headband these past two days. People who don't know would think Jiao Gong and Zheng Gong are out of money."

Zhang Xueming glared at him, then looked at the expectation on Gong Yuanzheng's face, who had firmly said that he didn't want any gifts that morning, and finally said nothing: "Got it, God of Wealth."

She did two things at once. She compared her findings in the Shang Palace with the rumors and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really not easy for the eldest lady. Ten years ago, she was already eighteen or nineteen years old. She should have started discussing marriage, but she had to prepare to remain single for the rest of her life and shoulder the burden of the Shang Palace. If she could become a powerful palace master, it wouldn't matter if she remained single for the rest of her life. But there was an old palace master above her... Mr. Gong Er must have been seventeen years old at that time, right?"

"Yes." Gong Shangjiao answered briefly.

He secretly liked to listen to Zhang Xueming's analysis of these things. Zhang Xueming could always start from an angle he could not imagine and refresh his cognition.

It's just that he didn't want this guy to be too proud, and it's embarrassing for a grown man to gossip, so he always put on an attitude of "I'll listen if you say something, and I'm not interested if you don't say anything."

He would only answer if you asked him clearly. If you didn't ask him, he would simply say "continue", "you say", "this way" from beginning to end...

Zhang Xueming was already used to Gong Shangjiao's behavior, but she didn't like his behavior of not showing any emotional feedback even though he was secretly happy. But she was too lazy to care about it now, because...

"I know!" Gong Yuanzheng shouted excitedly, his right hand still holding the paperweight, but his left hand couldn't help but gently pat the tea table: "Zhao Zhao means that Gong Zishang is just at the age to discuss marriage, and my brother is about the same age as her. Although she has to call her cousin according to seniority, she is a relative of the fifth degree of mourning, and due to the strict rules between men and women, she will not and dare not choose to lean towards my brother, for fear of causing criticism, right?"

"Ayuan is really smart, he understood everything at once!" Zhang Xueming gave him a big smile, "Then do you know why I said that the young lady was not simply chasing after Jin Fan?"

Gong Yuanzheng smiled with teeth showing after receiving recognition, completely ignoring Gong Shangjiao's disgusted look, and analyzed enthusiastically: "It's because Jin Fan saved Gong Zishang who had a fever and was unconscious in the Shang Palace but no one cared about him. This matter itself is problematic."

Receiving another approving look from Zhang Xueming, he became even more excited: "Today we are going to the Shang Palace, starting from the main gate and going all the way in. In addition to the servants and guards who intentionally pass by, there are actually fixed sentries and servants on standby in every place in the Shang Palace.

The Shang Palace was responsible for weapon forging, and it had more guards and servants than the Jiao and Zheng Palaces combined. Although Gong Zishang couldn't order them around, when I went out to ask for hot tea and snacks, I could clearly feel a lot of eyes staring at me.

In other words, even though the old Palace Master of Shang Palace favored boys over girls and showed that he didn't like his daughter and always treated her coldly and suppressed her, he never relaxed his grip on her safety.

Usually there are so many people watching. One day, Gong Zishang had a fever and was unconscious but no one noticed. But at this time, Jin Fan came to find her and went straight to her room without anyone stopping him. If no one had tampered with it, it would be impossible. "

"Excellent!" Zhang Xueming praised with a smile and handed him a finished headband: "Here, reward."

Gong Yuanzheng held the headband in his hand and looked at it again and again with bright eyes, and smiled back at her: "What a beautiful headband, Zhao Zhao has such a skillful hand!"

Zhang Xueming glanced at Gong Shangjiao provocatively: Did you see that? Learn from this! This is the correct attitude to listen to people sharing news and receiving gifts!

Gong Shangjiao pretended not to see it. He just stretched out his finger and quietly pushed the bowl containing the small accessories he had chosen towards her, then picked up the teapot to refill her tea.

Old stubborn! Zhang Xueming glanced at him with disdain, picked out the same royal blue string and gold thread and began to weave his headband, saying, "So, if the eldest lady had not chosen to get close to Gong Ziyu, I'm afraid Old Zhiren would have turned a deaf ear and allowed the old Palace Master of Shang Palace to pick a trusted guard to marry the eldest lady, and then tie him up in Shang Palace to protect her half-brother. Anyway, as long as her half-brother is useless all his life, Shang Palace will still have to bow to Old Zhiren in the future.

But because the eldest lady is smart enough and gets along as close to Gong Ziyu as a sibling, it is said that there was a period of time when Gong Ziyu would make a fuss if he didn't see the eldest lady for a day, so Lao Zhiren would secretly take action to protect the eldest lady.

But he was still worried, and there was the incident of Jin Fan breaking into the eldest lady's boudoir. If the eldest lady didn't put down her dignity and chased Jin Fan, and the incident became known to everyone in the palace, I'm afraid that the unbearable rumors like Madam Rulan's would appear again.

After all, our old master is experienced in spreading rumors."

Originally, after Zhang Xueming finished talking about Gong Zishang, Gong Shangjiao was going to ask her to get back to the point and talk about how she planned to convince Elder Hua to let Hua Palace and Shang Palace join forces. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xueming suddenly dropped such a lead at the end. Who could resist?

Gong Shangjiao glanced at Zhang Xueming with a hint of resentment. Why didn't you mention Madam Lan's matter last time? It's annoying.

But he was not in a hurry, he knew Gong Yuanzheng would definitely not be able to hold back -

"What? The rumor about Madam Lan was spread by Old Zhiren?" Gong Yuanzheng's eyes widened in surprise. "No way, wasn't that spread by Ming Wuji in order to force Madam Lan to death and take over?"

Facing Gong Shangjiao's incredulous look, he quickly coughed and looked away: "Brother, this is not my idea. I also heard it from the servants in other palaces."

"Does it matter whether the rumor originated from Lao Zhiren or Ming Wuji?" Zhang Xueming came to his rescue at the right time. "Even if Lao Zhiren didn't instigate the outrageous rumor, he had already become the source from the moment he wanted to use the palace guards' gossip to force Madam Lan to bow her head, acquiesced and condoned the spread of the rumor, and even accused himself of being cuckolded.

The most disgusting thing is that even though Madam Lan had passed away, he still refused to come out and clarify the matter. Instead, he didn't observe filial piety for his wife, nor did he let Gong Ziyu observe filial piety for his mother. He married the assassin without a sword a few days later.

He told others that he remarried Ming Wuji in order to take care of Gong Ziyu, but after Madam Lan passed away, he became uncharacteristically strict with Gong Ziyu and scolded her constantly.

Even if there is a long-term intention to plan for your son, the contrast between the doting in the first ten years and the frequent blame in the last ten years is so obvious. What do you think others will think when seeing this?

His attitude undoubtedly confirmed the rumor that Gong Ziyu's background was questionable, causing Gong Ziyu to live under the shadow of rumors for the past 20 years... A Yuan, do you still think Gong Ziyu is living a good life now?"

Gong Yuanzheng was stunned for a long time, shivered, and shook his head like a rattle.

He looked at Gong Shangjiao, then at Zhang Xueming, and suddenly smiled, his smile was bright and beautiful: "Fortunately, I met my brother ten years ago, and I met Zhao Zhao ten years later. Compared with Gong Ziyu, I am the truly blessed one!"
